Card collector from different worlds

086 Water City Birth Secrets

Outside the castle, it is like a festival because for the first time in forty-two years a labyrinth attacker has emerged.

And two days after the labyrinth was attacked, Kinosuke still has no sign of waking up.

"… Now, as we had arranged in advance, let's officially answer the question of cooperation with the Selector"

Sakroon looked at the paperwork at hand and urged the secretary.

The secretary, once gracious, strictly reads out.

"The Waterbirds declare their human cooperation with the Selector, in the wish of challenger Kim Noisuke. Twenty-five thousand private soldiers in the realm promise to protect the selectors from this and to continue to work together in the name of the Waterbirds until the selectors have done their job correctly."

"I mean... We only have the number of soldiers."

"The Waterbirds on the Iron Wall, you can count on them."

That's what the violator says, but Sakroon's face doesn't clear.

"... but where's the key selector? I also know that Miss Violator doesn't have that mark. And I wonder if the fact that you came out gave that mark to your sister."

"Yes. You're right. Eileen has a selector's mark."

"Where is she now?

"Of course, here"

…………

When Sakroon looks strange, the look on the swordsman's face next to the violator becomes sinister.

Encouraged by her gaze, Eileen solved the disguise.

Even so, I just removed makeup with a wet towel.

When the thick eyebrows narrowed, the wrinkles in the insured eyes disappeared, and the shallow black skin turned bright white, the swordsman who had just turned into a beautiful girl.

"... oh my God"

That's it, Sakroon was stunned.

"I'm late to say hello... it's Irene, Sakurune. You're in a good mood."

With a slightly sharp look, Irene greeted him without a glance.

"... no. I had no idea."

Gusari and Eileen were stabbed with a fictional blade on their chest. I guess it feels like a lot of denial.

Still, the violator slammed me in the elbow and showed me a bumpy self-card.

"That's real...... I never noticed it before and I'm sorry"

Sakroon apologized, and Eileen wept.

It is no exaggeration to say that the history of the Waterbirds was started by the God of Cards.

Nearly five hundred years ago, the people saw the struggle for lordship develop to the point of armed clashes, with war-terms open everywhere.

Neighborhoods other than towns and streets naturally do not become battlefields, as Cardy naturally surrenders.

So when it comes to where people fight, it is often near the entrance of each town. The defensive side builds a strong fence on the streets, and the offensive side tries to break into the whole town at all costs.

If you win, you occupy the town, and if you lose, you retreat to another town. We've been fighting like that for years.

Usually wins and loses are decided in the streets, but when the whole town is unluckily a battlefield, the town will be devastated and people will escape.

But Cardy's out on the field, and there's no escape anywhere.

It was one cardi-hunter named Aiden who saw such a state of affairs.

Aiden wished on God of cards. "Please give me a place where those who have lost their homes in the war and their families can live," he said.

But the god of cards never responded to Aiden's wishes. The gods of cards refused to intervene in disputes between people.

Aiden thought. I was wondering how I could distract God of cards.

In the meantime, people die, they starve.

In the Temple of Card, those seeking salvation form a long line of snakes, and refugees are driven out of town and sitting in the streets.

Aiden thought further. I thought to myself that there was enough hot air out of my head to make God's attention of the cards turn to me and manage to make people save me.

So I remembered the pale labyrinth.

There's a rock protruding over the lake as an entrance, too inconvenient for anyone to dive into the labyrinth.

Aiden laid eyes on it.

"God of cards, make it easier to get into the pale labyrinth"

At the Temple of Card, Aiden prayed sincerely.

Again and again... for days and days...

Then God of cards asked me, 'What do you want to do?'

Aiden immediately appealed, "Please make a city on the lake… make a labyrinth city".

God's answer to the card is' no ', of course. But Aiden didn't give up any time soon.

It's a shame that nobody can use the labyrinth just because it's inconvenient.

I was wondering if Cardy, who is in the labyrinth, would also make no sense with that.

The labyrinth is small, and even though it's easy to attack, I wonder if not one attacker yet, because it's not popular. Yes, I appealed to the god of cards.

And the god of cards said, "If that's all you want to say, how confident do you look? I said," Of course. As soon as we're given a place. But let's take down the boss of the labyrinth and show him, "he said.

The god of cards laughed a little, then said I'd make a bet with myself.

Have Aiden defeat the boss of the labyrinth. However, the place is prepared by the God of cards, and the challenge is only once. Besides, he says there's only one person who admits to doing it.

If that's all right, take the challenge, the card god said.

"Okay. Let's try on that condition. But if I take down the boss of the labyrinth brilliantly, build a city on it."

Thus a bet was made between God of cards and Aiden.

The god of cards made a passage of about ten kilometers around the outer perimeter of the lowest level, where he installed ten cardies. Plus I put the same level of cardi at the end as the boss of the labyrinth and told Aiden to try and knock him down brilliantly.

Aiden wanted to be fully prepared to make a bet with the god of cards, and after a death fight, he destroyed the boss.

At that time, the time it took was used as a reference and a single candle portion of time was made.

Having had the God of Cards build a city as promised, Aiden called in a large number of refugees there to create an independent force unlike the contending lords.

"Protecting something requires as much power as it can protect"

That's what Aiden said, teaching residents of labyrinth cities to fight, preaching soldiers' minds, and making them understand the importance of fighting to defend.

When the other lords turned their attention to Aiden's water city, it was after a large regiment was created by him.

The king of time also acknowledged Aiden's achievements, giving him the name of Waterbird after the waterfowl who was in the lake at the time, and treating him as a lord with no territory.

Thereafter, the Waterbirds will be named as the symbol of freedom and the head of a powerful army that protects what is to be protected.

Later it was called the Takemen Four Family, and the territory also increased, until the number and quality of soldiers were even called the People One, according to the ability to follow some neighboring towns.

But due to the home style of Aiden Waterbird, the first generation, he stays away from politics and continues to defend the spirit of independence.

And about the card's bet with God that Aiden made, anyone can now try if they want. In the event of a brilliant attack, they are told to fulfill the wish as much as possible, just like the first generation. It is also said that it is a promise to God of cards.

"The cooperation of the Selector was made here by the promises Kim Nosuke made before he challenged him. And even though I didn't realize it, the selectors are on the spot too. Let our Waterbird family do everything in their power to protect and hold the throne to the next king."

Sakroon said that to Eileen again.

"Thank you"

"I wonder if it has already been decided who to elect that you are here?

"Yes… I, as the Selector, would recommend Mr. Lyudmila"

"... Huh?

Sakroon looked poked at the void there. How surprising.

Lyudmila Kravania.

"Uhm...... I know. It's her..."

Sakroon also knows about another series of disturbances between Lyudmila and the Clauvanian family, and attends a wedding escaped by that bride.

In other words, Sakroon must be prepared to wage a war with the Krawvanian family.

………………

Sakroon meditated often.

It is prestigious when it comes to the Krawvanian family. And the Berfeldt family, one of the four Takemen, will be attached there as well.

It was just a highly challenging wish. But the oath was made, and making it a rebellion is unacceptable to Sakroon.

"Okay, okay. So, do you know where Miss Lyudmila is?

"Yes, I checked with Lord Urstan"

"Right. Then you should call me here as soon as possible. Can you ask for a copy of your self-card?

"Okay. Take this..."

Eileen gives the copies to Sakroon.

"If you can tell me more about it, I'll have our people bring it to Miss Lyudmila. And then... I still don't wake up about him."

"Mr. Kinosuke is watching me."

That's what the violator said.

"Mm-hmm. No fractures instead of terrible injuries... just too much blood seemed to flow. You don't seem to know when you're gonna recover."

"I'm sure Mr. Kinosuke will be fine. So I'm going to ask Kim Noisuke to assist me in my candidacy for the King."

"The Made by God of Cards is also a trial...... it does foil a lot if the Labyrinth Attacker puts it on his assistant, and his success rate will increase...... if he really wakes up. And even if I wake up... will I make it?

"It's all right, if you don't mind Kim."

That's what the violator laughed at.

For the first time in forty-two years, news spread to every town that an attacker had emerged in the pale labyrinth.

Of course, it also arrived at the third prince, who was chasing a cardi-hunter who went to Lord Urstan.

It's not calm because the characteristic that comes up in the story is what we realize is who we're after right now.

"Kinosuke... that's a name you don't know. You guys know what?

Everyone shakes their necks beside the third prince.

"It's a fairly young story, and it meant it came from Dwarf territory, so maybe it wasn't born in this country"

"That's what I'm talking about. It's also odd that the just completely unknown becomes the attacker. Maybe he grew up in Dwarf territory or around Beast territory."

Upon hearing this news, the third prince changed his destination to a water city.

"Do you want me to hand over Kiyonosuke and them?"

"But prince. Would the Waterbirds say," No. "

"It's all right, just call it life. Then let's go."

"Yes, sir."

Things have moved rapidly.

And Kiyonosuke still has no sign of waking up...
