Philstar or Gaju's Regression

46 Ch 16. Masterplan (1)

Loan's wound was deeper than I thought.

Even with the restoration spell of the Temple Shrine of Pomorro, the wounds are not completely healed.

“I think you're lucky I'm next to you. ”

So Busha, who made an emergency medicine out of a combination of herbs, applied the medicine to the wound site.

“That's right, I'm so glad I have Busha. ”

Parviti wrapped the bandage and finished it a long time ago.

“Surely I'm a blessed man. ”

It is not an exaggeration to be the top expert in each field.

Loan replied with an incredibly comfortable face.

“Are you not sick now? ”

No matter how much I get a recovery spell, it still hurts.

Hannah wondered,

“Are you sure you're okay? ”

“Mr. Black is strong! ”

Radha and Alma, who are still worried about Loan, have also said a word.

Loan smiled and replied.

“Well, that's it. ”

There are some who don't want to cause any harm, but this injury was tolerable enough for him, who actually suffered innumerable struggles.

It had to be a natural day.

Ron went to assassinate prominent people from all over the continent with blood glucose.

At the age of 39, he accomplished the assassination of Damos, and at the same time he began to record the assassination of a continent-wide nation, called murder.

Every time I wandered around the corner, I was so accustomed to suffering.

“Injuries aren't bragging, Loan. ”

Then Willian said with a stern face, "Don't pretend to be good at it."

“That's right, Master. That's not even on the bragging axis. It's not the time. ”

Hans, who collected Hugo's corpse after summoning the Shrine, added his words with a very serious face.

“What the hell happened? What the hell happened to Hugo? ”

Soon Willian also became a serious face and asked him a question.

Hugo is the person that William has trusted the most for 10 years.

That's why I entrusted Chaplin, the most important Bolognese window, to him.

Hugo was found dead, and Loan was fighting a monster.

It would be natural to wonder why that happened.

“I believe you already know that I suppressed the assassination of Prince Pete and the chaos of the Emperor. ”

Within days, Loan began to explain with a calm face.

“Does this have something to do with the case? ”

“As you can see, these are monsters called Dahak. Chad Myers, who tried to assassinate Prince Pete, also turned to Dahak after his death, and that led to a huge uproar in the Hwang Hwang. ”

In what Loan said about the mother-in-law of the case that day,

“That happened……. ”

Surprise touched Willian and Hans' face.

I never thought that the assassin that Roman stopped would have been such a monster.

They just knew that Roan played a big role in the Emperor.

“Dahakra..... Do you know what that is? ”

Unbelievable even if you see it with your own eyes.

Everyone's gaze was focused on Loan, following William, who was seriously questioning him.

Parvitina Busha, who had already told Roan, also saw Dahak for the first time, and found out how horrible a monster it was.

What will Radana Alma say?

I'm still scared when I think only of them.

But apart from the horror, one would have to wonder if their identity turned into a monster.

Loan took a deep breath and said,

“I'm assuming it's a legendary monster from the Northern Alteration. There is a legend in the Northern Revolution that an evil man named Ariman is trying to bring the dead back to Dahak and make them his inhabitants, and to bring about a world of darkness that feeds the living. I'm assuming it's related to that. ”

And let's explain what he's learned so far with a calm face.

“Ariman?”

Willian also asks again, twitching his eyebrows at the name of Ariman.

“Yes, the Church of Ariman is behind this. ”

The Three Underground Powers, the Ariman Church!

In response to Ron's answer that they were the ones who caused the problem, William nods with a serious face to see why he sent such a letter.

“Obviously, it wasn't normal. ”

“That's it. I can't believe those bastards are in there..... ”

Hans from the Bolognese Slum also had bad memories of the Ariman Church.

It was much more serious than I thought.

“… then why did Hugo do that? ”

Busha asks with a depressed face.

Her green eyes were filled with sorrow, which she did not think would happen while she was delivering the letter to William.

It was a short time, but it seemed that Hugo's death, who had lived in harmony with him, was truly grieving.

It looks strong to me, but it's really sweet.

Loan also replied with a face that could not hide his niceness.

“Hugo was also a member of the Ariman Church. ”

“Ah……. ”

“Radha, Alma and Parviti were baited, and they helped lure me to the basement entrance. I fed them crossbows. ”

“…… Oh my God. ”

“That kind of thing.... ”

Willian and Hans lose what they have to say to the shocking facts.

“…… Hugo really? ”

Busha also seemed shocked.

Hugo was a really nice guy.

“... That's why you asked me to give you the letter. ”

And Busha stares at him, stupidly discovering that he had already been suspicious of Hugo from before.

“I saw Basto and Hugo wearing the same accessories. I also wanted it to be a coincidence.... ”

Before going against time, Roan never doubted Hugo either.

Not once.

“… but being a good person doesn't always make the right choice. ”

But the truth had already been revealed, and it was undeniable.

If there was one thing I could do for comfort, it would be that Hugo didn't turn into Dahak, so I didn't have to fight him anymore.

“Yes……. ”

Anyway, let's just say that Busha was pretty depressed by Hugo's betrayal.

“Busha……. ”

Parviti next to me held her hand.

“No, it's okay! I am!”

Was it embarrassing?

Busha pretends to be okay with Parviti's consolation.

It's time for him to move forward again.

“Father, do you know anything about mercenaries wearing fairy tale accessories? mercenaries with Hugo accessories. ”

I asked William a question.

When Basto's words were postponed, Hugo clearly participated in the Northern War and was associated with Ludwig.

And Basto would have been one of them.

When asked by Loan, who is convinced,

“Fairy tale accessories? ”

Busha was also exhausted.

“Do you know anything? ”

But let's see why Loan wants to look at me,

“No, nothing. ”

Busha shaking her head in no time.

“… told Hugo before. Hugo's mercenaries, who participated in the Northern War, said it was a dead man's life, and they used two fairy tales as accessories for their old money when they went to take it. ”

In the meantime, William replied with a nice face.

As long as Hugo and I were friends, his heart wouldn't make any sense right now.

The man who was the most trusted man and friend threatened the life of his only son.

“….. I see. ”

How can you just turn your father's bad heart over as a son?

“ ……. ”

Loan hesitated to look at it and ask,

“Do you even know the name of the mercenary? ”

That did not mean that I could not go on like this.

Careful Loan's question,

“Red Wolf Mercenaries. ”

William took a deep breath and replied.

“Red Wolf……. ”

As Busha recalls his name,

“He was a mercenary led by Slayer Rudwick. ”

William gave his conviction to Loan.

“Chard Myers' teacher was also Ludwig. The Imperial Guards are looking for him.... ”

“He also raided Loan a few days ago, and Loan's arm was cut off, and a new monster arm was created. He must be a bigger monster than any of them I've seen today. ”

And when Hannah testified that she had seen Loan that day, William's face became worse.

“The Red Wolf Mercenaries all resurrected as monsters? Oh my God, how did this happen..... ”

The existence of Dahak was shocking.

“You had no idea this was happening in the eclipse. ”

I can't even believe that they and Loan have been fighting!

After confusion and complexity, he looked at William in anger and laughed.

“Actually, it wasn't that big of a deal, Father. There were no major threats. ”

“The body came here? ”

He scratches his head as if he had nothing to say to Willian about his injured back.

“…… This time it's a bit special. ”

If he had been alone, he would never have been hurt.

“It's a proud wound, though. ”

But this is an injury I've suffered to protect everyone.

So in his words, I don't regret it.

“Master..... ”

Radha, Alma and Parviti look at him again with troubled eyes.

“…… Where is it, Master? ”

Hans said with a choking face, as if he felt the sincerity of Loan.

“That's cheap enough. ”

Then no one else got hurt but himself. It's a good thing Loan laughed.

Willian and Hans sighed, no more than a tree.

And Loan took a breath and said, "I don't want to keep you worried."

“Anyway, the important thing is we have to stop it before the Ariman Church expands even further, Father. ”

Soon as he gets to the point,

“Are we? ”

William asks with a somewhat embarrassed face.

“These men continue to count on the imperial untouched basement. It's full of thousands of fugitive slaves who have no dreams or hopes. It would certainly feel like salvation if everyone set up an equal world in front of them. You will be deceived without even knowing that you will become a monster after you die. ”

More than a dozen Dahaks are still out there.

By the time Loan was betrayed by Egbert, that number was over hundreds.

“Then Dahak's numbers will continue to grow. As the congregation of the Ariman Church grows. ”

That would not have been all.

Clearly more Dahak would have been under Egbert's command.

“Umm.”

It's not a good Dahak, but what if it becomes an army?

No matter how strong Loan is, if there are thousands more Dahak, you cannot defeat them all.

The limits were self-evident.

“Even Hugo. We collaborated even though we didn't fully believe in the Ariman Church. because I wanted an equal world. ”

An Equal World!

“They will continue to make the inhabitants of the Underground City a congregation, and they will make them Dahak. If they're thousands, tens of thousands, then it's too late. ”

It will be harder not to be deceived by those who are more desperate because the world is so fascinating that they do not want to see Loan.

“If you leave it alone because it has nothing to do with us right now, the Ariman Church will one day put the whole world in danger. This is something that will definitely affect us someday. ”

“Umm.”

“So we're the only ones left to stop them now, Father. Most importantly, the Empire doesn't care about the Underground, does it? ”

“I see..... ”

We must make the Ariman Church no longer vulnerable, but the Empire cannot care about the inhabitants of the Underground, the thousands and the slaves.

“So we won't be able to stop them until we do. ”

The only thing that's possible now is the Philistine family, who speak the same power and countenance as the Ariman Church in the basement!

“And the crisis is always an opportunity. If you build a ball under the church and the royal family of Pomorro, this is certainly acceptable. ”

Thirty years of housework and a sense of politics are also ripe for Loan's body.

At the same time, in order to prevent the scheduled destruction, I could not have known that the House of Philstein itself could emerge anew.

“…… but we are assassins, Loan. What can we do? Did you find the Ariman Church and kill them all? ”

That's all the assassins can do after all.

I take Ron's words seriously, but in Willian's words, who clearly believes there are limits to his role,

“Currently, the Fomorro Church is also involved in this work and participating in the emergence of the Ariman Church. ”

Loan replied calmly, whether he had something on his mind or not.

“But not so aggressive. It's not very helpful. So that's what we do. You are certified by the Fomorro Church to qualify as an heretic referee. The crisis will soon be an opportunity. If we stop this situation, we can also have a reputation in Yangji. ”

The first thing to do is to be given the role of officially removing the Ariman Church!

There will be cooperation from Emilia, and this is clearly possible.

“Oh, that's enough. Ethnic Processing also comes from the Church as a reward. You'll probably like the others, too. It's a lot safer than assassination. Then we will officially become the enemies of the Ariman Church. Obviously, that's better than being an assassin. ”

William also nodded seriously in Hans' realistic remarks.

“Is that enough? ”

“No, that's not enough. ”

Loan, who shakes his head, soon looks at Radha and Alma.

“I can't deliver salvation to those people right now, but..... ”

Hope.

Not only did he defeat the Ariman Church, he also had to plant hope.

“Ultimately, we need to establish the order of the underground and improve the environment. so that people don't get over the trickery of the Ariman Church. ”

Basto scoffed and mocked Radha as to why she gave birth to Alma and why she passed on the pain to the child.

It was final, but at the same time undeniable.

So people will fall in love with the Church of Ariman.

“We have to give hope to people who can't have any hope. ”

In fact, Alma to Radha would have been literally "hope."

The horrendous underground was also the driving force that allowed him to survive, so Ariman would not have fallen into the Church.

“We must also make sure that people do not rely on the Ariman Church. ”

In the words of Ron, who had to change the properties of the basement itself,

“I know what you mean, but the question is always, 'What do you do?’ This is it, Loan. Do you think we can do that? ”

William said he needed more specifics.

“Already Aux is already in my hands. I intend to use the power and manpower of Aux and our family to establish the Underground Order and build the Union. ”

Immediately, William and Hans stare at him with a slightly embarrassed face, saying that he had even placed him under Augsburg's command.

“…… When was Aux again? ”

“It's been a long time since that damn pig. ”

Two people shake their heads in excitement at the testimony of Busha, who is not very emotional to Aux.

“Anyway, Union? ”

“Yes, the prostitutes and underground workers in this union are there to protect themselves from exploitation or abuse, to preserve their health or to help them return home. at least so we can live together. And even if not now, one day, when they settle down and become ordinary people, our generation will support and empower the Philistines. ”

In the words of Roan, who painted a very large picture, William and Hans put out their tongues.

“Wow, you've been thinking about it for generations now? ”

No, that was the same for everyone else.

I thought I'd call William and wipe out the basement.

“Right now, our power alone can't change everything. Obviously society will change someday and again, just as the Empire did in the chaos. Build a foundation for that. ”

Individual power and reputation are infinitely high and cannot change the whole.

It was Loan who felt more bonkers than anyone else because of the family life that had already failed.

A powerful individual can have an impact, but if the whole thing doesn't change in the end, nothing will.

“In any case, simply make the basement our second Pilstein Castle, Father. Now, the people of Philstein Castle are not discriminating against each other, they're smiling together, right? And just like that, we can improve the basement. ”

Pilstein Castle is the only place in the Empire where there is no identity gullet.

Slaves don't have to wear necklaces, and thousands and ordinary people can hang out.

If you build a basement like that, the residents of the Pilsi basement will feel at least like a place where people live.

The more so, the weaker the temptation of the Ariman Church, the more it can block the expansion of the Church in parallel with heresy reporting and heresy.

“Of course, I know that's not possible right now. But one day this will be the basis, and one day it will be the driving force for a world without identity discrimination or slavery. ”

And this was not just to stop the Ariman Church, it was also the first step towards creating the ideal world that Roman thought.

“So if these people support and trust our family, it will be a great strength when I become a knight in the future. The more people cheer, the more light the name will be, and the more people it will affect. The more things you can do, the faster the world will come to have a future and a dream, even for children like Alma. ”

Loan, who brings out what he felt and thought in front of everyone, was a more serious face than ever.

“Then people will remember. Assassin families can be hope, ordinary people can be hope, and the darkest of us can be light. ”

Maybe it's too idealistic.

But that didn't mean it wasn't a very realistic idea.

“Ultimately, I'm going to be a knight who protects everyone. There are articles that protect everyone, regardless of their identity, race or race. ”

What he wanted was not to tear the world apart now, but to lay the precedent and the foundation for the day to come.

By leaving a precedent so that someone can follow.

This means that the more voices you leave the status quo, the more people you see and hope for, the more powerful you will be.

And it was a life that matched perfectly with the past life of Loan, who had harmed others all his life.

“I want my father to give me strength there. No, not just my father, but everyone. It's not something I can do on my own. ”

I need to be different from myself to change everything.

The first time Loan took out his aspirations in front of everyone,

“Master..... ”

Everyone became quite touched.

Parviti and Lada, from the immigrant slaves, Hans Thousand,

“…… we have to help. That's what we talk about.”

Even the other Busha!

I promised to be a knight to protect everyone, so why aren't you impressed by what you asked me to do to take care of the lowest place?

“Yes, it should be a bowl like this! ”

Hannah, who is truly coveting Loan, admires him with her reminded face.

He could in some sense be called a revolutionary.

You could shake the world!

“..... I see what you mean. ”

William nods more seriously in the words of Roan, who has a greater ambition than he thought.

“I will try to be rewarded by your will. Now leave this to me and focus on the academy, Loan. ”

And when he smiles, he scratches his head like he's ashamed.

“I'll tell you more tomorrow. There's someone who desperately wants to see my father. ”

And he smiled, thinking of Emilia, who would be the biggest supporter of this.

“You mean me? ”

“You'll probably be surprised when you meet a lot. ”

At that moment, William nods as if he had grasped a certain sensation.

Maybe it's the royals?

“... Anyway, you've grown a lot. ”

Soon he made a blurry face.

Loan went through a lot in Bolognese for a short time and seemed to have grown that much.

“I'm proud of you, Loan. ”

In Willian's words, who can't hide his pride, Roan gets embarrassed again and scratches his head.

“But I haven't done anything right yet. ”

“Your heart is proud for everyone. ”

Building a Union in the basement to stop the Ariman Church and turning it into the Second Pilgrim Castle was, in fact, irrelevant, even if Ronan didn't know me.

Ron is already a Sword Master.

And even though she is a small country, she has a significant rapport with Princess Hannah of the wealthy Republic of Schwabalt.

Even so, he can become a nobleman of Schwabaltz and live a life of wealth and honor.

However, I chose to confront the Ariman Church directly in order to save more people than that.

This is to do justice without turning away from injustice.

“The world is so hopeless for children. ”

I don't know the two bodies because it's my father's praise more than anyone else.

Everyone was in the middle of that awkward smile.

“I think he's very sleepy right now. ”

In Hans' words,

“Argh!”

Loan stares at the sleepy-faced Alma and laughs.

“Ah?”

Then Alma, who was completely relaxed, looked at Roman and Willian alternately and shouted,

“Little Black Man! Old Black Man! ”

“Argh!”

Let's say that Loan, and of course also William, burst into laughter.

“Oh, Alma! Then I can't use it! ”

“Town!”

Radha panics and stops Alma's mouth.

“I am so sorry……. ”

Loan may be a selfish man, but Willian was still unknown.

He's a member of the infamous Pilstein family!

If you disturb his mood, you might get scared!

“No, it's okay. ”

William shakes his head without worrying, even with a pale smile in Radha's frightened appearance.

“It's novel. I can't believe I called you Black Mister. ”

Hans, who was next to Hugo, laughed behind the steam of Hugo's death.

The death of a friend to an assassin is no stranger.

“Aren't you too young to hear him? ”

Then let's talk about how Ron, less than 20 years old, can't hear it.

“You'll be different from me for over 10 years, of course. ”

Loan expressed his dissent.

“How old is Alma now? ”

When William asked with a pretty sweet face,

“…… I would be about six years old now. ”

Radado replied with a red face that he did not know the exact age of Alma.

“Ah, when you're about 11 years old, you're right. ”

Then Willian said with a pretty serious face.

“Gaju, that's not it. You're only 17 years old, but you have to call yourself a brother. ”

Again, when Hans made his objection,

“That's right. Roan is younger than me, but you are. What am I, an 11-year-old lady? ”

Because of the difference in life expectancy, Busha, who was different from humans, also seriously voted in Hans' opinion.

“But at least 10 years old, it makes a difference, doesn't it? I think it would be more comfortable to call him uncle. ”

Parvity, who took Roman's position here seriously, also voted against it.

“…… uhh. ”

What are you guys talking about so seriously?

Loan burst into laughter,

“Ah!”

Frowned at the back pain.

“Mister, are you sick? ”

On Alma's question,

“No, Alma. If you call me that..... ”

Lada shakes her head.

“What do you think of Radha? ”

“Yes?”

“Brother or uncle. ”

Soon Hannah, who was watching them, asked Radha.

The current score is 3 to 2.

Your side is more dominant.

And then Radha scratched her head awkwardly because she never thought about it.

“Ah, you're too young to say uncle.... ”

I voted for my brother.

“Three to three. Are you going to call the 11-year-old brother or are you going to call him uncle? It's definitely worth the debate. ”

Hannah then said with her arms full of surprisingly exciting content.

“What the hell does this mean? ”

With Loan, the party, deeply questioning,

“Then I will conclude! ”

Hanna brazenly shouted that his opinion was unimportant.

“Estimated to be 17 years old, Alma 6 years old. So it is true that the 11 year old difference is ambiguous to refer to me as my brother. ”

“Yes. You shouldn't be my brother. ”

That's what Willian said.

“But!”

Hannah, give me a quick flip!

“It's also vague to hear you say that you're not in your 20s! ”

“That's right! That's it!”

This time Hans nods that he's right.

“… No, what does this mean? ”

In fact, while the party Roman, no matter how it is called, is still questioning,

“Call it what Alma wants to call it! ”

Hannah laughs and shouts.

“Huh?”

“No, what kind of answer is that? ”

Hanna shrugs as she faces that both William and Hans are a little disappointed.

“If you're handsome, you're ugly. Real age doesn't really matter. ”

Even Willian, Hans, and Loan were blamed for her other standards.

“But certainly convincing. I hate to say you're a brother even if you die for someone like Aux, but I think you can say you're a brother. ”

“Well, I've never met an Aux, but I think I know what it feels like! ”

“…… Me, too. ”

Even Radamar nodded to know what it was, and the hearts of the three men became a little heavy.

Your age didn't matter.

It was a new realization.

“.... That's what it was. ”

“I hope you like the maid. ”

“Hmm!”

When the embarrassed Willian coughed, Hannah laughed and said,

“And no one who wants to eliminate identity discrimination should force a child to take a title. Shouldn't we let you choose the title you want? ”

Loan nods at her bony words and thinks she's right.

“Yes, we should call it what Alma wants to call it. ”

The conclusion was Hannah's answer.

“So, what are you going to call Loan? Alma!”

Hannah now shouts for the correct answer.

“Well……. ”

Alma, who had been considering it for quite some time, looked at Roman and shouted at him with her face.

“Dad!”
