□ [Princess Holy Sword] Ultimia A. Alter

I was in the office I set up at Gideon's hotel and received regular contact from Integra, who is in Wangdu.

"Yes. Ray will be here by the end of the day. All right. Thanks."

That's what I say, I hang up communication magic.

In addition to the progress of work in the Wang capital, there was also information that Ray would be here.

"We'll make it to the“ tournament "the day after tomorrow.

The "Tournament" is held in anticipation of the prevention of criminal activity by the Kingdom-affiliated Master and of a war with another country.

That became necessary… also due to suggestions from Claudia.

…………

Remove one [Affidavit] from the item box.

That's what Claudia deposited with me that day of the pageant.

- No traps or lies whatsoever, it's a war application (...).

Only she proposes to participate.

Last resort to settle the obstinate, and entangled causes and consequences of kingdoms and empires.

Only in immortal < master >... she said it was a war where no dead people would come out.

That could be a sacrifice-free battle compared to previous terrorism or the last war.

But...... it is also a suggestion that goes head-on against what your father left behind.

Hence the repellence and… backwardness in sending only the Rays to a harsh battlefield, and I have yet to connect the hotline with Claudia.

I haven't heard from there either.

But she must be... hitting a new hand during this silence.

Likely is an increase in the number of leading Masters, including Super. If her suggestion of a war only goes through, the number of powerful people will decide its victory and defeat, won't they?

In fact, Intelligence has also contacted us that we no longer know what happened to the unaffiliated people we were trying to contact.

What I lost sight of is the extent to which Marquis Findle, the head of the intelligence service, is still uncomfortable and this one is unlikely to be explored, although this may be the reason the intelligence service is lagging behind...... likely moved within the Empire.

So at least Claudia's getting ready for something.

Expect me to accept her proposal......

…………

... her suggestion that we should not be subjected to < war > is intensifying day by day.

The reason for this is events in neighbouring countries...... armed clashes between Cardina and Grand Barroa.

A bi-national feud that even ended in the devastation of the city.

This case, which is also beginning to be called the Sandy Sea Incident, suggests one problem.

That means, 'the state won't stop on the back'.

The clashes between Cardina and Gran Baroa have also resulted in deaths on both sides.

But after three days, they will be resurrected, and they will clash again by force.

As long as < master > maintains the right to use the savepoint, his body tries to wipe it out completely... and he returns as many times as he wants from the other world.

For one thing, the perpetrators of serious incidents are to be international nomination arrangements and save points are to be sealed in all countries.

However, that international law also… will no longer need to be ratified if it ignores assessments from other countries and the deterioration of diplomatic relations.

So if the state keeps guaranteeing the right to use the savepoint, it can mount as many striking fights and terrorist attacks as it wants.

What is created is infinite hell.

That is the status quo of the Grand Barroa and the...... Empire of Drife.

The present empire...... almost all diplomatic relations are broken.

There's nothing to lose, and therefore Mr. Things like Franklin and Logan Godhardt... that also continue to maintain the right to use the savepoint of a terrorist attack in the Kingdom.

…………

The hands that seal it are limited.

First, resolution by harmony.

But this has failed the other day.

That has led to a greater opinion among the nobles in the country that there should be no rapprochement with the Empire.

It's impossible because the empire, which has made a proposal for harmony, has set a trap in the terms of harmony and, at the same time, terrorized the King's capital.

Next, getting rid of the nation that falls behind them.

Destroy the Empire and transfer ownership of the Save Point to the Kingdom as well.

Hundreds of years ago, when this West was a warring age, there were frequent battles between factions.

I don't know what the rationale is, but when I occupy the territory of another country, it is transferred to the country that also occupied the savepoint.

It shifts, as if someone is judging.

The act of destroying, subjugating and transferring ownership of enemy countries to their own countries was natural hundreds of years ago.

Although the ownership of the Save Point didn't make as much sense as it did before the Master increased, it seems that it was to the extent of a territorial extra. Things are very different now that < Master > has increased... in some cases it may be more important than the territory itself.

Theoretically, the resurrection of the Empire will stop if the entire Empire is controlled.

However, I also have concerns about this.

That the ownership of the old Lunnings territorial savepoint, which should be controlled by the Empire, is still in the kingdom.

Alternatively, has the specification of the judgment changed due to the increase of?

There is a risk that even if you control the Empire… it will not be easily transferred.

In the first place, a total total war if we aim to dominate the whole empire. It will push us to the worst possible outcome.

Even if it were settled, it would leave its roots behind until later times.

The current situation is an option that you will never be able to choose from.

Finally... a solution by Claudia's proposed War.

It is not a ruleless armed clash, but rather a battle after defining the scope of the battle and the conditions for victory, to make the arrangements made by victory or defeat complied with in a [pledge].

In addition, only at Claudia's suggestion... there will be no deaths.

This choice is the most feasible and least damaging by comparison.

If you win, many will solve it, and if you lose, there will be no kingdom.

"... if it's normal time, it's not a choice, but now it even looks like the only choice."

Am I leaning towards this choice because of the situation in the neighbouring countries, as Claudia sees it?

... but I still don't make up my mind.

No matter how fine, because that should be the least risky if it can be resolved in negotiations.

"... in case you get ready,"

The tournament, which takes place for ten days from the day after tomorrow while looking through, is the ultimate.

The “tournament", multiplied by the order of challenge to (...), will be held at this Gideon... in short, a thing to tie < master > to the kingdom.

The rules are as follows:

"First, only those eligible to participate shall belong to the Kingdom"

This is a natural course of action in a way. While preventing < super > in other countries from coming to acquire it, we expect < master > to move from other countries if possible.

"Second, participants cannot be transferred to another country for three years after the tournament."

Items required to prevent spills to the outside of leading masters. Above all, you can't even see it when you destroy < UBM > and immediately move to another country.

"Thirdly, if a participant commits a criminal act similar to imprisonment for more than one year in the Kingdom, all save points will be rendered unusable"

In a sense, it is of the utmost importance and prohibits criminal activity within the participant's kingdom.

Not applicable in misdemeanours, but in serious crimes. It also combines prevention of turnaround terrorism to other countries, such as the one that happened in the Franklin case.

The phrase that all save points are unusable is now seen in the increased contract. The fact that "dying" turns out not to be a tie for < master > is the factor.

In addition, the determination of a criminal act is limited to cases in which a conviction has been found by investigation in order to avoid wrongdoing.

All you need to do to participate is sign the [contract] of this condition, and you don't need to pay for your participation.

Because so far the three are meant to encourage the broad participation of the < master > of the kingdom and at the same time to prevent crime within their kingdom.

And the next fourth rule is, "Prepare for War."

"Fourthly, participants gain the right to challenge < UBM > according to their ranking. In addition, if you sign the [contract] of the Intention to Participate in the War, in which the Kingdom was involved within three years, you will also gain the right to choose to acquire rare weapons as a secondary prize. The order of selection depends on the ranking of the tournament

Simply put, participating in the Kingdom's War, which occurs within three years, not only gives you the right to challenge, but also the side prize.

The content of the [contract] itself is that it participates in the most recent one that is available to participate in the War, which occurred within three years in the Kingdom. This participation is judged by "current location," "period," and "quest status," with the exception of those that are unavailable.

may be in this world at the time of the war. That is why it is a contract for these loosenings.

“Tournament" is a participant who plays a literal tournament battle and is able to fight < UBM >, which frees him from the beads in order from first place after ranking.

The location is Gideon's Central Grand Arena. As Mr. Franklin once did when terror broke out, develop a never-existing bond to prevent < UBM > from escaping.

And number one - precisely number one and that party will challenge, and if that doesn't rival you, number two and beyond will challenge you in turn.

Most of all, I don't know who will eventually become an MVP in this way either.

Even if the first place in the "Tournament" is defeated, it is also possible to gain perks depending on the damage inflicted and your activity in battle.

Because it all depends on how hard those who fight before them struggle.

That's why side awards become important for when you miss an MVP.

The second prize is a powerful and rare weapon passed down to this kingdom. A substitute of at least one million lil if you buy all of them.

Even if you miss an MVP, you will be given the right to select this side award from the top of the "Tournament" in order.

With that in mind, it is also expected to increase the number of participants.

Since the number of participants is divided into a maximum of 256 per “tournament," a total of 2550 extra prizes will be required, except for the MVP winners, who will be born ten.

If they ask me if that's all there is to a good number of weapons... I just have to answer that there is.

"... all prepared by Ray."

For a long time he worked at Count Gideon's.

It's about absorbing and de-cursing cursed weapon resentment in his [Purple Grievance Runaway] "Resentment Conversion".

They used to repeat by chance that he went to an equipment called [CBR Armor] to other cursed arsenals.

Normal curses are limited or impossible depending on the MP and the power of the operator.

However, the Rage Conversion, which inexhaustibly absorbs the resentment of the source of the curse itself, can be de-cursed indefinitely. If you say so, he's a washer.

As a result, he was able to accumulate [purple grudge runaway A] resentment, and I hear that Count Gideon...... the Kingdom side was a profitable job for both sides with massive access to exorcised and superior weapons.

It should be noted that he is due to receive some weapons for part-time work, so he plans to look into them before the tournament begins.

... I think I could have picked it sooner, but until now, she (Nemesis) has been severely judged and undecided.

Speaking of which, when I spoke to him the other day, I said, "... but again, there will be too many cursed weapons, Gideon. Sioux or Kingdom," he wondered.

But there's a reason for that.

From the founding of the kingdom, the armor of the curse was to be gathered in the dueling city of Gideon.

It begins with... going back to after defeating [Evil God] in Wang Du, which was called the Capital of Industry.

According to the ancestral legacy, the capital had gathered a large quantity of weapons because it was originally the home of [the king].

In the Warring States era, the treasure trove was too strict to obtain, although those who had obtained the capital tried to use the weaponry.

But only the last [evil god] who took control of the capital could open a treasure trove.

As a result, [Evil God] 's family has been told that they were armed with powerful weapons. Or that the weapon itself has been turned into a monster and attacked, he said.

Even after the fathers destroyed [the evil gods] and their families, the armor remained.

But the influence of [evil gods], or because of the times of war... most of the weaponry had been cursed.

The ancestors, who thought it would be bad to keep a large quantity of cursed weapons in the land to build a new capital, transferred them to Gideon, the home of the righteous queen and the Mecca of the duel from that time on.

Because Gideon has always had a special storage room for cursed weapons at the end of battle.

And the cursed armor was delivered to Gideon, and after that a variety of armor rested in Gideon… to this day.

When I laid down an explanation like... "... it's strangely the case at Gideon, isn't it?" I was told.

That's a hard hypothesis to deny...

Originally a country cursed by [evil gods]. Though resentment and the like should only be left in weapons, or some cause or effect in the land of kingdoms... or in blood.

"... Whatever, you're ready"

The "tournament” also begins the day after tomorrow.

Once it is done, it will also strengthen the country's power and work with the Master.

Preparations for future terrorism or possible war will also be completed to some extent.

…………

... but why not?

Something... heartbreaking.

There is no information from the ninjas in charge of Gideon's intelligence network or from the handling of critical information across multiple countries.

I don't hear any movement on the part of the Empire other than the freelance.

And yet somehow... I don't feel like something terrible is going to happen.

"... although I'm not as good of a nature as Ray"

It's like, I feel like I'm missing something serious.

When I saw this world as a board, there were signs that everyone was missing a pawn... somewhere.

"... I hope nothing happens"

■ "Prison”

Almost at the same time that Ultimia was experiencing unsatisfactory anxiety in Gideon.

There was one anomaly in the “prison” somewhere.

An unnamed city within a “prison”.

In this space where the prisoners live... but there are no signs of life.

The inhabitants of the “prison” were dying that day with very few exceptions.
