Hero without Blood or Tear

[136] Spring of the Empire. (15)

“It suits a con man like you. ”

“Ugh!"

I was instantly wounded, especially by Valpurgis' face and saying so. But it was hard to say because I had a conscience about what I said.

This is how much Peck hurts.

“Here, let me show you. ”

As Valpur raises her hand, a beautiful light descends from the air. Then all the citizens who were watching were amazed.

Even though everyone retreated at the word of the goddess, people's curiosity would easily disappear. A lot of people still stared at it from a distance or showed their faces from a nearby window.

Valfur seemed to want to do something like this. Her intentions were seen in a deliberate light.

It'll definitely work. Now I look like I'm blessed by a goddess. This, of course, leads to a rise in my political position. We'll have to cooperate.

“The goddess of compassion. ”

On one knee, I acted like a knight. A plausible painting was coming out.

“Oh! A scene of legend! ”

“The change bag is beloved by the goddess! ”

The watchers were amazed.

Woohoo.

That's when the light swarm started to form in front of me. Then the light flashed.

Flash.

When the vision recovered, there was a beautiful armor in front of my eyes, as if it were not from the grain. Hmm? Is this good for morale? It was hard to understand, but I quickly opened the status window.

[SS + Grade, Noumidian Trickster. No specs available.]

Ugh, SS + grade? I'm surprised. Even an SS grade magic item would be valuable enough to use a Demon Lord Odgash.

But SS +.

I couldn't help but think it was strange. It looks like a sacred statue, but how can it be named after the Trickster of Noumidia? On the outside, it looked like an archangel or something.

Valfur will never know the source of my power. These sacred instruments are nothing but good aptitudes for me.

“Goddess.”

A subtle accent came out of my mouth with many things in it. I'm asking you why you gave me this.

“Is something wrong? ”

Instead of answering, the goddess asked if she knew anything about the trickster in Noumidia.

“I don't know.”

“This armor was written by a man called the Trickster of Noumidia. He was a great con man, and he lied to me. No, I lied to the whole ancient world. ”

It was the first I had heard of it. How can there be such a great con man?

“He was also called the Ambassador. He was Aquila's partner. He's the greatest con man in history to save the world with Aquila. ”

“Really?"

“He's kind of like your old man, by the way. He was mortal and human, too. ”

I've never heard of Aquila having a human partner. Considering that, perhaps Aquila chose me not only because I was ranked # 1 in the world.

Is that ambassador from Earth like me?

“He got the End of Days deferred against the armies of darkness. The world is still standing because of the sacrifice of Aquila instead and the deceiver of Noumidia. ”

I don't look familiar to you. I pulled the apocalypse. If it's in front of me, maybe I'll grab it by the neck.

“Can you hear the details? ”

“I'm afraid we don't have much time. I'll tell you about it later.”

“Very well. I thank you for the armor you gave me. ”

My current armor, cursed birth, was a mess. The battle broke out everywhere.

“Ballerstead, the armor you're wearing right now is full of evil energy, and everyone is reluctant. But if you wear it, it's a lot easier to get to. ”

The skill level is unknown, but the name scammer suggests it has something to do with gaining favor or trust from the target.

Obviously, this beautiful armor will look like a hero of virtue if anyone wears it.

“Perfect for a con man like you. Balerstead, you are not yet as skilled as the Trickster of Noumidia. Grind and wipe.”

“… Did the goddess of compassion encourage fraud? ”

In saying this, Valpur blushed her cheeks with shame.

“We're just talking about reality. By the way, that armor needs to be awakened. It has a self.”

But Valfur said she doesn't even know how to wake up sleepy armor.

“You didn't know that, did you? ”

“ ……. ”

The goddess exercised her right to remain silent. As my face rotted, she finally said one word. With a smile like a drawing.

“I believe you can do it. ”

Immediately provoked me.

“Now you're talking like a goddess in a story. With a real fake smile. ”

The goddess was still smiling, but she couldn't cover all the drops of sweat on her brow.

“Prepare for the end. Ballersted.”

Along with that, Valpur hurriedly left the goddess. Valpurgis collapsed and left it to the nearby Marie. Then I turned to Maximilian.

“Your highness. I have so many questions. ”

“Hehehe... Will you still call sinners that? ”

I talked in anger, but I didn't want to do it to him on his deathbed.

“Hang in there a little longer. She'll wake up soon. ”

Maximilian sighs, seeing Valpurgis in Marie's care.

“I can't say goodbye to that child.... Come to think of it... that would be better. To what do I owe the pleasure? ”

“How is the incarnation of darkness so powerful that it cannot be declared? You have to tell me that. ”

He gives you a contemplative look, then nods slightly.

“It's too short to tell a long story…… but I only have time…. I'll tell you as much as I can... Everything started in the past... with that kid's mother... fighting with Johannes. ”

The two brothers said they did not get along well from childhood. Then it became irreversible as a matter of succession after preliminary employment.

“Those who didn't succeed either family had to die... I didn't intend to show mercy to you or me or each other... ”

But Maximilian was pushed by Johannes in every way. Eventually, he got stuck and made extreme choices.

“I shouldn't have done that. ”

“I know... But it seemed like the wisest way at the time.... You can get great power.... ”

Millidon Maximilian eventually won the post-preliminary succession war, backed by an indescribable darkness.

“But every power comes at a price.... ”

“You've had a difficult request, haven't you? ”

“That's right... So I found it.”

“What do you mean? ”

“How not to keep the promise you made to the Dark Army! ”

I was amazed. Maximilian, even this human is really dizzy. Using the power of a great army of Darkness, you won't even pay the price.

“How is that possible? ”

“Simple. The power of a divine being... can be stopped by a divine being. The Guan asked Orviana, the goddess of nature and life... ”

“Did you refuse to pay for the power of the goddess Orviana? ”

“Yes, Orviana was in debt to the overlord. From the goddess's point of view, I'd put a mob on it, but I couldn't resist. Besides, Bavaria has promised to fully support her order since then. ”

In fact, Bavaria was suddenly thrilled by a cult serving Orviana for a reason.

“But wouldn't that be a problem with causality? ”

“Of course... ”

He laughs in vain.

“Here the Guan... committed an indestructible sin to the family. The dark curse of the Vitelsbach family in Bavarian is all because of its... Causality. ”

“That's why it's such a terrible curse. ”

He asked Lady Orviana to avoid the cost. Dodging unruly demands with tactics was a success, but the rebound was a curse.

“It was a terrible curse... A curse that deceived a great army of darkness... Would it be so terrible?" ”

“You really are a sinner. ”

“I don't want to deny it now... If my brother-in-law hadn't sacrificed... The family would have been finished a long time ago. But in the end, it was just... postponing the curse... ”

He stared at the sky with his empty eyes.

“I'm overqualified. I'm already wrong. I couldn't help it if I was cursed to death... but the fact that I was the only heir was also a time man... was unbearable. ”

“Is that why you took the Demon King's throne? ”

“Yes……. It was the only way to lift the curse. In the past... I had to pay for the indescribable support of darkness... It was the Demon King's throne... The preliminary work of Bavarian, the pillar of the Southern Humans, was not... possible. ”

The curse naturally lifted after a long time of refusal. That's why there was no curse when you took off Valpurgis' helmet.

“The problem... is that the overlord has become the Demon King... It's not over. He was delaying the long overdue. It's like being scammed... from the point of view of the undeniable darkness. Of course, the causality has piled up.... ”

“As a result, the incarnation is strong in Munich? Maybe he was so stupid. ”

Maximilian and Lady Orviana are the reason for this.

“I don't intend to make excuses... But the overlord needed to make a big decision about this. ”

“What is it? ”

“They say the curse is terrible... but only if you die..." It doesn't even affect the man's soul. But after fulfilling the promise of the past to lift the curse... the souls of the excessive belong to an indescribable darkness... Now that death has come... I shall suffer forever for his throne... To be honest, I'm afraid. Ah... I'm so scared... ”

“That's what you say when you think about what you've done. ”

I was able to understand him on the one hand, while rebuking him. It was because I had seen many times what Humans were going through after being dragged to the Great Army of Darkness.

“You can avoid it, but you can't afford it. That's not very noble.”

“Khh... I think so, too. However… a change bag. You'll see when you live. No matter how cruel a man may be, there are emotions in every corner of his heart. ”

Maximilian's speech slows down. His eyes were on the past a long time ago.

“The child who lost his family... didn't know anything... Who's his enemy. I held the fruit tightly with just a small hand... It seems like the only thing left to rely on in the world now... I... I don't know what he saw in his eyes at that time... But I knew one thing.... ”

He reaches out into the air as if he's trying to grab something.

“Even this cold-blooded man who killed his brother for power... I never knew he had feelings... Ah.... It was lovely, lovely. A little child growing up in my arms.... ”

At the end of his life, he finally shed tears. He regrets and mourns at the end.

“I... knew this would come to an end... but I had to... accept her as my daughter." ”

“ ……. ”

“Change bag, do me a favor. ”

“Tell me.”

Now that I know I'm being dragged away by the Dark Army and will face eternal punishment, I can't deal with him any more.

“Please don't tell Sharthie about this.... I was going to... close my eyes... but I thought this was the last time... ”

“Your Grace.”

“Considering the sin of the overlord, you shouldn't have said this... even in your mouth. Just... kill your father... and be remembered as the villain... who burned Bavarian... That's the right story. ”

At the end of it, Maximilian's voice is so small that you can barely hear what he's saying. Before he breathed, he muttered, looking at the blossoms around him with his dried lips, but he only heard a part.

“... Winter is coming... Spring is coming to the Empire. Even at the end of the world... there will be hope. That piece of Azelia... For the scent of flowers... ”

In the spring of 1615, Maximilian died after Bavaria preemptively.

* * *

Later in the case.

“Are you sure you want to leave? Valfurgis needs you. Wilhelm.”

Former human hero Wilhelm, who died fighting the incarnation, was revived by the grace of the goddess Valpur. I asked him to stay in Munich for Valpurgis.

“You inherited my power. I'll take Chartier.”

“But.”

“If I stay here, the Bavarian Old Testament will gather around me. They don't want power over him. You think it's the right time. ”

The faction centered on Duke Weaver Schwaben is still intact. It was a long way to go, but there were many enemies everywhere.

“As the goddess has said, the end has already begun. When I look out that window, I can't feel a peaceful spring. ”

“Yes, it is. ”

On the day of Maximilian's death, the azelia blossoms were abundant. The Apocalypse was just like everyone else's story.

“Bittenbuyer Change Bag. Do you know what Azelia's flower horse is? ”

“I'm not sure. ”

Wilhelm stroked the Azelian flower and said,

“Hope.”

“I don't believe in that. ”

“Hahaha, but that's all we'll have to count on when it all starts to fall apart. I want to be prepared for that. ”

“... will you come back? ”

“Yes, when my dear niece needs me. ”

I was about to say good-bye, and suddenly, a stool appeared.

Kuaaaaang!

Lightning struck the dry sky. However, even the strongman like me and Wilhelm were startled by the power of the surge.

“A lightning bolt…. ”

“That's ominous.”

I agree. Suddenly, an earthquake occurred when I thought something was unusual. The whole city was about to go up. Screams come from everywhere.

Rrrrrrrr!

As the air vibrates, you hear a strange smile from a distance. It sounded so strange to say laughter, but I could instinctively tell it was laughing.

Farr.

I was trembling everywhere in my body. Soon I realized I had been through this before. On that planet, ringing heaven and earth, there was madness, ridicule and ridicule.

“Khh! Suddenly my headache is killing me! What the hell is that?”

When Wilhelm is in pain, he puts his hands on the trees around him. But I couldn't even breathe. It was because the message that opened my eyes took away my mind.

< The Hidden Scenario ‘Guardian Kills’ is entering the next phase! >

< There are now four guardians left! >
