Dark Magician as a Hero

The Empire's Truth

"Well, where did I first tell you... hmm, first of all, the purpose ahead. No, let's start with the 'role' God wanted this Richard Liettenb to play. Before that...."

His Majesty's grandfather has been pouring a few drops of distilled liquor into the tea and checking what to put in our tea.

"Artena was definitely just milk, right? What about Archina?

It was good to wake up Archina a while ago because he was in front of the Emperor rather than the stinky grandfather, so it would be awkward to sleep as much as possible, but he woke up early and there was an emperor in front of him - he seemed to know only his face - he was quite disturbed. Now you're resting on my arm and trying to restore calm.

Wow, I'll just have milk, please.

"Well, milk and sugar, please."

When Grandpa nodded lightly, two vials appeared on the table just snapping his fingers. They drink milk, I put sugar into tea in the amount I like, and when I drink one sip, it's completely different from the tea I've been drinking, and the aroma spreads into my mouth.

To prove there's no hostility? I've removed the equipment to prevent mental interference, so I've been searching for the spirit with dark magic to confirm that it's harmless. But how dare you show your heart to a first-time witch from another country with a subtle relationship?

While holding the cup, Grandpa sinks deep into the sofa and starts talking slowly and as easily as possible. It looks nostalgic and regrettable. In his time, there was nothing but the weakness of the heroes who had risen to the greatest power on the continent.

"About 30 years ago, before assuming the reign of King of the Reitemb kingdom before becoming an empire, I was awarded a certain deity."

This was about 30 years ago. I succeeded to the throne a little past the Thirtieth Road and became the fifteenth king of the Kingdom of Liettenb.

I am better at magic than a child, and I have been indispensable to the Medal of Army since I was Prince Wang. Even though there were no kinds of kettles, most of them envied my talent. I think it was quite chronic now, and most of them were Ah (probably) to me, the prince of the king. Even though he was young, his behavior at the time was sweaty.

Nevertheless, there was no one to blame for behaving arrogantly to some extent because it was necessary as a king. And while thinking that I was the best person, I received revelation from God and received protection during the reign ceremony at the temple, and there was no more deterrence.

Oh, I am the King chosen by God. Will my footprints be a myth that shines brightly in the history of the continent? The moment I heard the voice of God, such an idea came to mind, because it was not one pillar that stood before me, but two brilliant shadows of the pillars that stood before me. If there is a king who does not rise now, I would like to see his face.

The God of the Two Pillars, who appeared before me. The goddess of war, Farth, and the goddess of law, Tria, are both great two-pillar gods who are believed throughout the continent and have the greatest power.

According to God, 50 years from now, the demon king species of the flying dragon will emerge in the future, and the continent will become barren land that cannot be inhabited by living beings. Therefore, thou shalt prepare for the demon king species, and give protection for it.

First Tria, the goddess of law, said. By taking my hand and working in alliance with the countries in the flying dragon habitat, I tried to reach out to many people and face hardship. To give you the strength you deserve to be the Lord of that alliance, the King of the Right Way.

Then the military god Farth said. Swallow the neighboring countries and build a huge empire. There will be many fights in the process, but many heroes will be born in the battle. I will grant them the strength of the King of the High Path to defend their victory.

Being a king with a slow heart, I took the hand of the army god, seeing it as supremely attractive to go on the hegemonic path with the protection of the army god. And the moment I received the protection of the gods of war, I was wrapped in the enthusiasm of my nobles, who were lying flat without exception, between the altars. That was the first step in the Liettenb Empire.

The protection of victory is that my body says' Attacks from all creatures except the brave are null and void ', that is, I will not accept any attacks except the brave, so if I defeat the enemy generals with one horse, the trend of battle will be determined. Not to mention that I am a' watch 'optical wizard who can't do anything with traps or entanglements.

We can't just reduce the numbers of soldiers, so we can't ignore the preparations before we start the fight, so let the ministers hurry up the battle.

At the same time, if we want to defeat the demon king species of the dragon as the deity suggests, we need to know the enemy, so we decided to conduct an ecological survey of the dragon in parallel. I myself thought of getting into the habitat of the flying dragon to extinct it, but there is no way I can destroy the flying dragon by myself, and I can't take a large number of soldiers to the steep mountains.

Most importantly, the theory is that the possibility of the demon king species being born increases in the crisis of seed eradication. Stop letting them go extinct and catch them alive to see their free time and miss them or investigate their ecology.

I hear that flying dragons are a kind of Lesser dragon that literally excels in flying in the sky, and there are tribes that train and ride beasts in some regions. However, the Lesser Dragon fell into a weak category, and even though it was said that it would destroy the continent, it didn't boil well.

Indeed, the habitat of the flying dragon is terribly wide, and the emergence of the demon king species will certainly be extremely troublesome because it will cause mass breeding of the same kind of monster.

However, even though it is commonly known, it is a very small snack, and although it is as long as 5 meters in length, it needs as much food a day as a normal adult male. Sometimes I fly into the crowd with a little herbivorous miscellaneous food and eat up the fields. Weight is not as big as it looks to fly in the sky, and a trained soldier's bow pierces the scale.

We don't aggressively attack people with weapons, and no matter how many dragons there are, the damage is insignificant. If there are 10 soldiers, we can crush them even if they fly in the sky, and it will be easier if we have special equipment.

But as I looked into it, I found out that the troubling Feilongan ecology was a factor that could destroy the continent, and that Feilongan excrement that no one had noticed.

Insects that eat excrement and secrete nutritious honey inhabit the body and organs of the flying dragon. Because this is a snack for the figure, there is no problem with that kind of parasite. This insect was named a beetle, but if a large number of flying dragons occurred, this beetle was the problem.

The larvae of this beetle are massively mixed in the excrement of the dragon, and the dragon hatched from the egg eats the parent excrement first, but I don't care about the area.

The problem is that if a creature other than a flying dragon eats this beetle larvae, it will go wild trying to eat and kill all the creatures in its eyes. Examination showed that the honey secreted by beetles is nutritious in itself, but if creatures other than flying dragons consume it, it is a spiritually insane creature.

And when a violent creature dies, the larvae in the body that ate the carcass become perverted and adults, devouring the grass and trees. This adult appetite resembles the rare locust phenomenon, transforming the land into wilderness without distinction.

Of course, it is a phenomenon that can occur anywhere in the habitat of flying dragons. Until now, due to the small number, adults who do not secrete the honey that makes them violent can only be eaten by birds and small monsters, but the number is too different when it comes to the mass occurrence of flying dragons.

Whether the gods knew the ecology of this bug or predicted that it would happen as a result of the emergence of the demon king species was the rabbit horn. It was understandable that the gods attached particular importance to this matter in view of the high percentage of humans who have been granted the protection of the gods even in view of history since I took office.

And I understood that the doom awaits if I showed a slight cowardly gesture about this mission. Whether the people who believe in themselves are burned in the fire or not, the military gods will forgive the war only if they have a system that can cope with the demon king species.

Even if we attacked a country outside the Hilong's habitat, we were allowed to do so if resources and human resources were available. Even if the rebels were punished more severely than necessary, if the factors that interfered with the system were eliminated, it was not a problem.

Thirty years after taking office. The Liettenb Empire became the greatest power on the continent in all its fame. I am over 60 years old and I can endure the constant war on the boulders, but I began to prepare to absorb the great southern kingdom of Marne and further strengthen my country.

Above all, it is better to have a wolf demon king species in the Laron region near the border. If we can get his Magic Nucleus and build a weapon against the Dragon, it's worth it.

In addition, even if we cannot absorb the land, we will still have an Emeritus from among the young people who aspire to rise from war. We already have young heroes like beautiful stars in our army, and they will wave a lot when the demon king species emerges in 20 years.

The war with the Kingdom of Mane brought the soldiers to life and was harmonious in many places. In the remaining 10 years, it would be good to accumulate experience against monsters against the demon king species of ants sitting in Japan.

In another 20 years, I will pour the total power of the world's most powerful Imperial Army, which I have built with my life, into the demon king species of the flying dragon.

Speaking so far, my grandfather stopped talking for a while and brewed me a substitute for tea. I don't think the Emperor can taste the tea that he made directly, but just pour it in the hot water of this grandfather and ruin the luxury products of the corner.

It seems that the tea that was first brewed was only stored in a storage space (item box) prepared by a professional servant. Well, I'm not going to complain about what's out there.

"I understand that the appearance of the demon king species 20 years from now is a danger even for the gods because of the abnormal breeding of the dragon. All right, but isn't that a little weird? The Empire is a long time ago... that's it, isn't it?

I just heard from Prince Carl, but as far as I can tell, the Empire will collapse if we start a war like this, even if we don't have to go so far as to say that the countries that swallow it will turn their backs one after the other... Even in view of history, I can only think of war and suicide in a state of internal distress.

No, I'm not worried about the Empire, it's a pure question. Well, if you're not going to start a war on your country, you're not going anywhere.

"You're right, just a year ago, until last year, a powerful Imperial army glanced at us, and there was little rebellion, but no rebellion. We did not impose heavy taxes, and we actively hunted monsters to train our soldiers, so there are places where we welcome imperial rule in regions where the threat of monsters has disappeared."

When soldiers hunt monsters, soldiers who earn more spend their money generously. Because humans don't hate their opponents sooner if they have the advantage, the grandfather replied that it was a way to reduce the rebellion as much as possible.

Even as a grandfather, the cooperation of local residents is indispensable in order to dispose of the dragon's excrement, so it was thoroughly implemented as a necessary measure.

In addition, the construction of a network of contacts and roads connecting the settlements were advanced, and the monsters decreased and became safer. As a result, the traffic and logistics of people became more active using the improved streets, and soldiers frequently patrolled, the bandits were considerably reduced.

Well, even if I hear about the politics of the empire around here, I don't really know, so I just nod lightly. Archina listens enthusiastically to Grandpa. Artena has little to do with politics.

"As I said earlier, we were preparing to enter the Kingdom of Mannes. About three years ago, as part of my preparations, I ordered my sons to be undercover."

No matter how many emperors are invincible, the soldiers will be depleted if they can't be attacked. Therefore, I intended to have my sons investigate the Kingdom of Marne and formulate a strategy based on information from different perspectives. And by having each of them contribute, they wanted to develop their sons' qualities.

"My sons, who have returned from the undercover investigation, have spoken in unison, let's build a friendly relationship with the Kingdom of Marne. Ask for help in deepening your friendship and fighting the demon king species that will occur in the future. We should attack the western continent and acquire slaves. All my sons have said that."

The story goes like, "If you stand up for the Medal here, you'll be the most powerful successor candidate! It seems like we're going to promote war, but don't grandpa's sons like war by surprise? Or do you have an opinion that we should invest in home affairs?

"All the sons who were working on the mole insisted on avoiding the war, so we decided we wouldn't have to do anything about it. The important thing is that it's a demon king species that appears in the future, not a territory."

In order to pursue the assimilation policy with the countries that had swallowed it, because it was cut off from you, it was a failure that didn't care much about the trends of my sons, and the tone became tired at once to Grandpa.

"I should have doubted that my usual sons were in agreement. There was a feeling of disgust in front of the soldiers, and I thought that my sons had thought about it... but in fact, it was more ridiculous."

Instead of tea, the grandfather, who separated the words, took out the wine and incited it all at once. Is that so hard to say?

"Fool (son)... while I was working on an internal detective, I got into a single detective, and after a war detective, I gave her money for an internal detective. So the truth is, I insisted on a nonwar to hide that I wasn't working at all!

I'm sure you're trying to talk calmly, but while you're talking, your anger is rising, and the silver wine glass is pulling (chirping) with your grandfather's grip. It would be a waste if it were a very elaborately decorated, expensive glass.

"Besides! I have entered the western continent silently in front of me, do you want to know why? They were competing for a rare slave to the lady! You idiots! Think about it! You're over 40 years old and you're in love with a 15-year-old girl! She must have been 12 years old three years ago!

Oh, yeah. I don't want to know, but I understand, Olivia's sister, and I don't want to be honest with you.

"Hahaha... I'm sorry, brave man, but I'm not old enough to get excited."

"No, my daughters have been hurt."

The grandfather, who returned to me loudly, took a breath of wine and told me about the western continent.

There are almost no humans on the western continent, some of them crawler merchants. This is a vast continent inhabited by fairy tribes who believe in the "Pamura Gods", which are completely different from the gods of this continent, the "Euro Gods".

Even craters with a relatively large number of contacts only know their names unless they are interested in looking into them.

"It was the military god Farth who forgave everything if it was to defeat the demon king species, but this was not forgiven. The western continent was judged to be a safe haven."

"Isn't that what your son did on his own?

Apparently, it was judged that "I can go to the western continent at any time" had prepared an escape route. Still, I didn't realize when my sons' actions were discovered, because....

"Last year, when the idiots found their way to the western continent, a man named Ares Mars appeared. I've never heard of Mars in the first place, and I couldn't find out where it came from."

But it didn't matter before the fact that he was a brave man sent by the military gods, such as his identity. Immediately Grandpa gave him a picture of the Imperial Castle to surround him, and married Princess Levia, who was the most beautiful and the same age among his unmarried daughters.

At this time, Grandpa decided that he would be a reinforcement from the gods of war, because the brave Ares is now 17 years old, and in 20 years, he will have reached the maturity range correctly, both as a man and a warlord, and he will have the necessary piercing as a front-line commander.

However, the brave man was the "punishment" sent in by the military gods. Relations with countries that had swallowed up in just one year had subsided, and the flames of rebellion had erupted there. Much of the cause was attributed to the brave man.

At first, Ares was a brave man who was courteous to the Emperor and the Emperors and treated the servants normally, but his nature gradually appeared on the surface.

First of all, due to their unusual sexual habits, the brave men who looked at the beautiful girls who were sent to the Emperor's house every year - unless there was an apprenticeship of behavior and the Emperor had a hand, they could leave the Emperor's house - turned into slaves and violently led to the rebellion of the powerful ones.

The Emperor is over 60 years old, and naturally the intention of the parents to send their daughter to the rear palace is to wear a standing behavior that is not embarrassing in the middle, and it seems that if you build a connection, it will be good, and even better if you marry a man who works in the middle.

In fact, the grandfather did not reach out to girls in their midteens, and the hintercourt was turned into a salon for the children of the good family. It seems that it was enough to desperately hide the brave from the brave men who trampled the gorgeous girls' gardens with their feet.

Since then, many people have been covered in mud, but the hero's information continues to be hidden. Even if I kept hiding, the brave man's misconduct did not stop. Even the princesses of the various countries who lived in the Imperial Castle as hostages suffered from poison teeth, and mistrust and suspicion of the Empire and even the Emperor reached the culmination.

"And more than many soldiers have witnessed tonight's events, there's no doubt that the scandal has leaked so far and reached the city well... one year after he showed up, no matter how hard he tried, the rebellion from all over the world won't stop."

Speaking indifferently, the grandfather's figure was so weak that he did not seem to be a great hero in history that he seemed to be just an old man everywhere.

"Brave men have a role that the gods want. The end of those who have finished their role in history varies, and those who have lived a peaceful life admired by people. And glorified with the power of the brave. Those who are drowned and destroyed by power... you can see everything by observing the role and the abilities given to them."

"Is that what my grandfather just said? I'm not really aware of it."

Are you sure the words I said were "suspicious" without asking questions? So that's why the kidnapper believed the stupid pseudonym he joked about at the time.

That's enough, brave man. The role given to the brave is naturally achieved if you live as you please. "

"Is that what this is about? As far as I'm concerned, I wish my wife had a good life."

"Yeah, that's fine. If the brave man moves for it, it will also be in line with God's desire… Perhaps, but before this country is exhausted by civil unrest, it will be settled by the brave man's hand. God wanted me to be King of the Right Way, under the name of Chris Astrier."

Grandpa looks straight at me and assures me, but I don't think I'm for a king or anything. My grandfather's story seemed so far that we were advised to stay at the Imperial Castle tonight. My grandfather's magical temporal and temporal skills could still take me near the border with the Kingdom of Mani, but I decided to be kind enough to let the exhausted two go to bed early.

Hmm, I know it's not harmful to my grandfather, but even if I take a monster with me and beat him up, can I let him stay? Well, the emperor says it's good, so let's not worry about it.
