Heavenly Castle

[Schwartz]

I didn't know what happened.

I think it starts with a woman named Yuri's dialogue.

It was as if there were words for further reinforcements, but it was a statement of such content that this side of the allies should be puzzled.

Anyway, I advised the Emperor to step out of the chair in what seemed like an absolute fate.

Maybe this woman is out of her mind.

That's what I thought. I wouldn't be weird. Sure, Yuri and Dizen used to tell such stories backwards from time to time, but things that would lead to this situation would be frown spit.

By the hand of the emperor, a fierce warrior, we were stunningly hunted down until between sights. At the rear is a large group of insurmountable soldiers, at the front is the protection of the iron walls by the court magicians and the Kingsguard Knights.

Furthermore, even the relying Aifa was taken hostage.

In this situation, if Yuri really has the kind of fighting power he has spoken of, he should have already been put into it. It would be obvious because it would be pointless if we were all captured.

But my confusion was dispelled by severe shocks and roaring noises.

The doors and stone walls between the stubborn sights of even advanced sorcery were scattered like thin wooden planks.

No way, did you bring the crushed hammer into the castle?

Such stupid words came to mind and disappeared.

"Release the arrow of fire!

"No, it's ice or stone spears! Never let them in between!

Multiple sorceries arrive at the entrance where they were destroyed with such a cry, but the sorcery also blew away in an instant.

Fiatora kicked me from the side as I stood up without knowing what was inside.

"Huh."

I'm the one wearing the armor lightly...... is this really the power of a woman!?

Roll down the ground thinking so, face up. There, a silver blade shook down.

My body moves out reflexively on the blade that passes in front of me.

"Come on!"

He bounced his sword and kicked the belly of the opposing knight.

"Master Schwartz! Back!"

Fiatora unleashes her magic as she screams, bouncing off two knights who were imminent before me.

"It helps......!

Answering, I stepped back. Unless it's pitiful to have a face full of young magicians up front, but there's no way I'm going to die for the future of the Empire.

"Nevertheless, we cannot take this crisis off with some reinforcements..."

I shrugged so and looked up as I rebuilt my attitude.

But the perception is instantly overshadowed.

If you notice, it's because the majority of the knights were kicked in by strange golems.

At a rate that knights can't avoid...... no, a giant golem is moving around at a rate that even my eyes are hard to follow in the distance.

It's certainly a lot thinner for a golem, but it's too fast nonetheless.

"... hey, what is it? What is happening......!?

They were court magicians who unleashed one advanced sorcery after another, but it was all lightly prevented by the Golem as well.

Powerful and stubborn, but can only follow orders that move slowly and monotonously. Therefore, the Golem cannot deal with the superior magician, it should.

If that exists as an enemy, and if its maker sorcerer rivals the Empire...

I shook myself up in my own imagination.

At that time, a loud voice sounds like rage.

"Don't move!

Turning his eyes back to the voice, the sight of Aifa being caught by two soldiers and accompanied by a blade around his neck entered his eyes.

The moment I see it, Yuri and Dizen, and those golems stop the movement perfectly.

I saw Aifa with all my thoughts. Aifa never changed her expression, but moves her shoulders up and down slightly to open her mouth.

"Don't worry about me. Take Fiatora and run. Now is the time without half the court magicians and the Knights."

"Aifa, I'm not running. For the sake of family."

Fiatora cuts and throws away Aifa's words. Seeing such an interaction between the two, the emperor smiled.

"... did you think that if you made Schwartz an emperor, your lives would go back to normal? But that's not gonna happen, is it? Anyway, the Spirit Tree is the exchanger of the world, the substitute that everything wants. When their existence is real and their use is known, they will not be able to visit the Eternal Elves for rest in the future."

The Emperor's dialogue, which was not even great, resonated well between wonder and a glance that was supposed to be noisy.

"... the Spirit Tree is real?

This is the first time the Emperor has affirmed that he has heard rumors that his father is trying to get it, but it is real. What's more, I didn't know you even knew the power of a spiritual tree that should have been suspected of even being there.

If anything other than the emperor spoke, it's like frowning and laughing, but the faces of Aifa and Fiatora, who heard the emperor's words, are like frozen.

The air between the eyes became cold.

Everyone is alert to their enemies, yet conscious of the Emperor's words.

You understand that, the emperor deepened his grin and opened his mouth.

"... yes. The Spirit Tree is the secret of Elf's long life."

That's just one word. Hearing that one word, I've had years of mysteries iced away.

That the emperor searched for and got the elf at great cost.

Why did you stick to the elves when you were on the verge of expanding your territory?

It is for the power of the Spirit Tree.

When everyone was stunned and unable to move, the emperor shook his shoulders and laughed.

"Now, whether the emperor changes, or no, the country changes, you will not escape. The truth of this Spirit Tree will instantly spread to other countries as well. That's my word. Something that would also be credible...... heh, ha! Ha ha!

That is also tantamount to some kind of death sentence.

Now it is true that the elves will be targeted by the greedy of all nations. I would be interested in whoever it was until now if I knew what I thought was real.

That would be even worse if you were an old man of power.

"... is death scary, even if he is the emperor of the bouldering Blau Empire"

I accidentally said that to the Emperor. There was a late unexpectedness that I didn't think was such a person as to fear death, but I felt like I had seen the weakness of the Emperor, who was my father but inexperienced.

But the emperor nodded and looked down at me without looking like he had intended to.

"You idiot. Death? I'm not afraid of death or anything. But if the life expectancy increases, I've never gone beyond it. If we live long enough, that's all our empire will be strong and big. I want to see how far our empire grows. Is there a limit to my power? Or is it enough to control the world...... Ha, ha!

To the emperor, who laughed like crazy, I also realized that I had misjudged my real father.
