Armed Summoners - Black Spears and the Brave Men of the Other World

Episode One Thousand Five Hundred Sixty Eight: Niewe of the Empire (III)

It was all thanks to the armed summoning technique that Neewe and the others were able to reach the imperial capital Zaius from Enciel on a journey of about twenty days.

Sometimes it was not necessary to stop at the border, as it was when travelling within a small group of countries, and even if it was not as long as three months, February could accommodate the itinerary that was supposed to take less than a month. Lancelot-Garland was pleased to hear that you were under armed subpoena.

The accelerating spread of the art of armed summoning transformed the empire into something that might even be called the land of armed summoners.

One of them is this high-speed means of travel.

Yerkeim-Karlavia's proprietary applied technique of armed subpoena has made it possible to travel much faster than using horses in imperial territory. It's called a subpoena-driven vehicle, a subpoena, etc. It is equipped with a dedicated equipment and power conversion mechanism on a body such as a carriage carrier, and it is said that injecting the force of the summoning armed into that equipment activates the internal ingenuity and obtains thrust.

Only usable in imperial territory, because only on a specially assembled road can a summons car run. It is only possible to run lightly on a path called the Summoner Track, which is now stretched extensively across the Imperial Territory, mainly in Teito. Enciel and Arsul are called the border, so one of them is because the subpoena tracks are still out there, and because it's too inconvenient. The subpoena tracks do not cover the entire imperial territory.

Naturally, a subpoena was born about ten years ago, and it was too much of an achievement to be stretched around the Imperial City in the last decade. It is determined impossible, for example, to allow tracks to cross the entire imperial territory in less than a decade.

Although the Neewes had to stop at a city card run far southeast of Enciel to use the summons car, there was nothing more wrong with stopping at the card run than going to the Imperial City without the summons car.

The summoning vehicle could only be moved by the armed summoner, and special permission was required for its use. It was not something available to the average person, and even royalty like Niewe was not allowed to use it for no reason. It's a luxury item. It is not something that has been destroyed.

Also, the loading weight is not that much. Bribe your power with one summoning weapon. It was the best because a human adult would pack with a dozen people, and there was also the question of the number of vehicles, which was unlikely to be used for troop movements, etc. It's not a question of just making the vehicle bigger. If the vehicle is larger, the load will increase, but thrust will be needed for that matter, and it is impossible to generate any more thrust with the power conversion mechanism currently in use.

'If you're going to generate any more thrust, you're going to need more than two armed summoners. Two, not two, you know.'

Yelkeim answered Niewe's question that way. Yelkeim had begun to improve the power conversion mechanism and develop new mechanisms as long as he had time, and it was no exaggeration to say whether the empire would be stronger depended on his invention.

In fact, without a genius named Yelkaim, travel within imperial territory would have been much harder, and there would have been nothing like an explosion of progress by the Empire. Faster transmission of information accelerated things in every way and moistened the country.

Nevertheless, maintaining a dedicated subpoena track was also a challenge, and it frequently happened that the tracks were ravaged and destroyed by the Imperial Devil or that the tracks were broken by natural disasters. That's where the idea is to surround the tracks with walls. A defense that uses the imperial demon's habit of not attacking a city surrounded by walls is expected to be implemented as soon as funds are secured, he said.

For natural disasters such as earthquakes, there is no way.

That's why the Niewes ended their long journey of about twenty days, rocked by fast moving vehicles, and it was on July 2nd that they stepped down to the Summoning Vehicle stop in Zaius, the Imperial capital.

The imperial central stop was lined with shifts of Imperial Kingsguard knights who would have been waiting for the arrival of the Niewes now, overwhelming the Niewes as they stepped out of the vehicle. The beautiful uniform, based on gold and black, was noticeable enough to be clearly seen from among the vehicles heading to the stop, but it was not as compelling as getting out of the vehicle and seeing it. The knights enough to be elected to the Kingsguard Knights boasted a forged flesh, and unleashed a tremendous sense of intimidation when they said they were just standing.

It is said to be the most prestigious of the Knights because the Empire is one of the proud Knights and the Knights given the important role of protecting the Royal Family. That's why joining the Kingsguard Knights is many times harder than joining the other Knights, and only a handful of knights can join. And it should have been the royal people, Mills Els-Zaion, who would lead such an imperial best knighthood. It should have stayed that way, unless it was also a personnel change while Niewe was away from Imperial Territory. Then the knights standing in line at the stop retreated to the left and right, and the person who seemed to have refrained behind him shows himself.

"I'm tired of waiting, Sir Niewe Raam-Alsur"

It was the man in the uniform, beautifully mixed with black and gold, who was Mills Els-Zaion and tension had arisen in Niewe from the moment I saw him at first sight. Mills is a distant older brother and one of his belly brothers. He is human, brunette and blue-eyed that draws royal blood, taller and better in stature than Niewe. The body of a warrior created by his workouts shows that he is not a kind of person spoiled by the fact that he was born royal. In the first place, there is no way such a human being can live in the royal family, and there is no way that he can be elected head of the Kingsguard Knights, or left to the Holy Duke of Law (Else).

"But I was relieved that there seemed to be nothing during the long journey"

Mills' words and deeds are in themselves, but there was a sound of self-esteem on each end of the word, and each time the tension in Niewe increased. Of the many brothers, I know that the older brothers are still the ones, but still, there is no one more averse to Neewe than a royal human being. Niewe was pursued by Empire Capital along with her sister Nina. Because I lost a successor fight with my brothers. Neither Nina nor Neewe wanted to be their successors, but there was pointless contention and defeat. There were no words to speak to the loser, and as the winner thought, he was flown to the periphery. Niewe finds herself drawn to her brother and sisters because that's what stains her.

So it sticks out poorly.

"Oh, sorry to keep you waiting... brother"

"My brother would just leave, but I'm not like my brother. I waited."

Mills came in with a voice that only Neewe could hear. His older brother means his eldest brother, Mizgaris. Mills is two men, and with his brother is none other than Mizgaris. Neewe is also my youngest son, and I have dozens of older brothers and sisters.

Mizgaris Diaz-Zaion. Known for being given the title of Lord Tianzhi (Diaz). Being the eldest brother of twenty brothers, he is the head of the candidate for the next emperor and is said to be the most powerful candidate. In fact, where he took the throne of emperor, no one would complain. There is no other man more worthy of an emperor than he. Even Neewe had to admit, and Mills and his eldest sister, Maria Foros-Zaion, where he is his competitor. In time, both Mills and Maria are struggling to cross Mizgalis, which is the status quo in the battle for the heir to the throne.

Neewe and Nina have fallen off early and it is no longer difficult to return to the battle for the heir to the throne. Nina seemed to think that was okay and even satisfied with Enciel's life, but Niewe, she wasn't. He held deep in his heart his ambition to build on his strength and eventually return to the battle for the heir to the throne and become emperor.

To protect Nina.

"Long journey, you'll be tired"

"No... especially"

"Right. I think I'd be exhausted... a long journey. What are you out looking for?

In that question, I learned that what he called a long journey was referring to Niewe's journey outside imperial territory. I didn't mean the journey from Enciel to Zaius.

"It's..."

"Were you looking for a way to return to the battle for the heir to the throne?

Mills' eyes glow dull. Towing. No, it's close to blackmail. There is a strong will there not to allow Niewe to return to the successor feud, etc. Many of the brothers were not pleased that Neewe was chosen as Lord of the Fight in itself. It was about Nina and Illicia, and his other brother, sister, said he was angry that Neewe could not possibly be the Duke of the Fight, etc. By then Niewe has been taken lightly.

That would be so.

Neewe and Nina's mother are ordinary women who have nothing to do with the royal family. The royal family wants it to be pure blood. No one was born in the royal family, no one is involved in the royal family, no one honors the royal family. I respect the royal bloodline. Hate to have extra blood in there is a natural story. You can even call it reason. If Niewe, for example, was in the opposite position, he must have acted like his brothers and ostracized his brothers with blood in them other than royal. That's a terrible thing to do.

That's why Niewe became an emperor and wanted to keep her power in her hands, because there was no way she could accept that logic and keep following her promises.

But that's no longer true.

The Black Spear, on the other hand, lost even his family, and with his half deformed, his return to the battle for the heir to the throne also became another dream of his dreams.

"No, never in such a thing. It's private."

"Private stuff...... hey. Father - His Majesty the Emperor summons you immediately. He just said His Majesty the Emperor didn't look angry. What are you thinking?

"Come on......?

To Neewe, too, I wasn't sure where it was. If you're going to cut Niewe's unsolicited journey outside of imperial territory, you don't have to bother calling the Empire City. All we have to do is issue a ruling unilaterally and punish them. It would have been any way, because I have to obey the imperial judgment more than I am an imperial. But the emperor Siwelhein Leignas-Zaion called him to the Empire. There must be some intention there, and Neewe was concerned about it.

I had a strange heartbeat.

"By the way."

Mills peeked into Neewe's face as he moved out of the stop.

"I was listening to you, but that mask...... did you really get hurt?

"Yes."

Niewe immediately affirmed his question. Niewe, on the road, was wearing a mask. Instead, he began to spend time wearing a mask from his normal life. I have no choice but to do so than to anomalize my body. Otherwise, we will terrorize even the people around us. From the neck down I managed to deceive myself by putting on clothes, but I couldn't help but cover my head with a mask. covering the entire head. That is closer, such as a helmet, rather than a mask.

"... well, fine. I admire the emperor's consideration that he doesn't want to look ugly."

Neewe laughed bitterly behind her mask at Mills, who had nothing in her mind.

Niewe then entered the Imperial Castle, which could be taken to the heart of the Imperial Capital, while being guided by Mills. Of a dozen brothers and sisters at the Imperial Castle, it had been a long time since I met several of them during my stay in Imperial City, but only Illicia was pleased with me. Only Illicia the same age has been dealing with me about Niewe since I was a young girl, and she has remained close to me. but I guess that was uncomfortable for the other brothers. Illysia became drawn away from Niewe's sight, and for a long time, she remained unaware of where she was.

"I've been looking into Niewe, even while she was away."

I was just a little happy that Illysia said so.
