Sword of the Philosopher

We'll start going down the mountain and go for town. In the meantime, I will explain to Sophia and the others about the Nazarade continent - rather than the fourth book, Eden of Dragons, of The Elders Sword. By the way, I've been watching the ending the whole way about this fourth one, and the memory of it is in my head.

"Uh, where do I explain it from?

"Tell me a rough story"

Request from Sofia. I say, "Okay," and I start talking.

"Let's start with this continental situation at the beginning of the story... Sophia and Richard know that the Nazarade continent is united by one nation, right?

The two snort - there is only one country on this continent. His name is the Torvatian Empire.

"It was at the beginning of this commotion that an earlier emperor died of illness and his son took office at age fifteen. Under the laws of this country, adults are eighteen years old. Therefore, less than adult beings became emperors - resulting in political anxiety and chaos."

"It's kind of a common story."

"Well... it's a common development in novels and stuff"

Richard's face gets worse when I say that much.

"... I came up with one thing, okay?

"I know what Richard's trying to say. You're talking about the sick and dead emperor actually being assassinated, and there's a mastermind in this riot, right?

His mouth stops. Here, Sophia asks a question.

"... are you there?

"I'll explain that later... Well, that explains the hero. His name is Yuska. He is an apprentice soldier who encourages daily workouts in Natas, the capital of the Torbasian Empire. The story begins where his boss will serve in the ordained demon crusade"

Sophia and Richard keep listening to me as I walk.

"An unexpected demon emerges there and the squad is devastated... The knight of the boss is a man who was close to the emperor and the mastermind used the demon to murder him. Yusuka is about to be killed too, but he uses the sword his boss had to destroy it"

"So you're now face-to-face with the emperor?

I nodded when Richard asked.

"Correct. Yuska will later be redirected among the confused continents under instructions from the Emperor… Eventually, he encounters his greatest enemy. Instead, should I say that the mastermind beat you? Yusuka's presence became troublesome and he tried to end it."

"Who is that enemy?

Sophia asks. After I put a beat down,

"… four nobles who hold territory on this continent. It's commonly known as the Marquis of the Four Dragons.

"Holding territory?

"The Empire has an emperor's direct jurisdiction in the center, so that it surrounds it and Marquis territory exists in the east, west, north, south. A mastermind drew the Marquis to his side... trying to kill Yusuka"

"Does that mean the interrupter will withhold any presence"

Richard's comment. I nodded instantly,

"But he managed to get out of the crisis...... I think the emperor tried to kill himself, and it bothers me. But I could barely afford to think about it. The Imperial Army moved to contain the commotion, and some of them even burned the village as a show. Yuska will throw herself into the rebel group to stop the emperor's atrocities. In fact, it is the result of the mastermind's manipulation of the emperor... but Yuska meets many of his companions in battle... three important figures"

"Are those three the ones who hold the key to the end of a man named Yusuka?

Garc question. I said, "Exactly."

"The three of them, in brief, are entitled to be emperors."

"What?"

"Even so, blood isn't connected. To be an emperor in an empire depends on whether you can use the power of an item. The royal family can exercise its powers by a certain amount of magic... the three of them can be used without the use of magic. Oh, this is confidential information, so don't take it out on me."

"After the battle, will any of those three become emperors?

"The person who acted with Yusuka the most will be chosen...... it is later in the story that the fact turns out. Until then, there was a great deal of power."

When I think about it in reality, I wonder if it's okay for someone who has nothing to do with the previous clan of emperors to become emperor. For once, in the story, there was a reason.

"Now for the rest of the story... throw yourself into the rebel organization and he will build on his strength and fight and win with his people against the 'Marquis of the Four Dragons'. Then, at last, in the battle with the Emperor…, there is a case. The emperor is defeated. In fact, the mastermind killed him… the emperor was temporarily vacant and the mastermind was to conduct politics instead"

- So you pushed it all to be the Emperor's responsibility.

Sophia's words. I say yes.

"At this point, the heavy ministers in the castle also assumed that the emperor's deeds were rampant. In the meantime, the protagonists enter the Imperial Capital to discuss with the masterminds… where they reveal their true nature"

"Sounds like a pretty mastermind was trusted...... what kind of person are you?

"Near the emperor's side, his name is Nehmeisa. Nevertheless, the purpose of the person is not to take the throne. It's about gaining power in the possession of the Emperor and the 'Marquis of the Four Dragons'. By murdering the emperor, the mastermind finally strips his fangs, exercises his power, but acts as he should. I called Yusuka and the others to end this once and for all."

"I understand the Emperor's power... but he was also recovering the power of the 'Four Dragons Nobility'?

"The mastermind was a researcher, who analyzed what the" Four Dragons Marquis "had and braided a technique that would allow him to merge with the Emperor's powers... Things are the Demon Stones that greatly amplify the power of the Dragon Man -" Dragon Demon Stones, "but the mastermind took data on what powers the Dragon Demon Stones have in action by letting the Marquis fight, and also made them provide materials about Dragon Demon Stones in return for various conveniences. And took the Emperor's Dragon Demon Stone... and blended it together."

- In the game, the mastermind, close to the emperor, was portrayed as a good man. It was in the form of an attempt to glorify the rampant emperor, but ineffective... but also because of the presence of a voltage line, it is possible to assume that he is the mastermind. I didn't realize that.

Anyway, I can definitely say that the mastermind was fooling everyone on this continent, and his acting skills are quite high.

"And so the protagonists defeat the mastermind."

"Oh... the Empire has collapsed due to the power of Nehmeisa. But of the three key allies in that battle, Yusuka and I have fought for a long time awakened. Turns out the emperor can handle the power of the dragon demon stone in his possession...... Nehmeisa declares war on which one is worthy of this power. Entering the final showdown and destroying...... that's all the story flows through. So there's two things we're gonna do right now."

"First, we need to gather information."

Richard says. I nodded instantly,

"If the story isn't progressing properly, we need to figure out what the situation is at the moment. Is the emperor alive or is the 'Marquis of the Four Dragons' alive? And the protagonist... wants to find out from around there. And one more thing… secure the weapon."

"Weapons?"

"To counter the power of dragon demon stones owned by the Marquis and others, there is a dedicated weapon. Even so, I'm not talking about needing the power of a wise man, etc. Dragon Demon Stone can be countered by the same Dragon Demon Stone… The weapons contained in this power are commonly distributed on this continent, so I want to find something that suits us and get it."

"Are you saying the emperors have a specially made one?

I accept Richard's question.

"Exactly. It might be harder to be a half-breed than it is to counter a special force. You might want to buy it in a professional location."

"Well...... by the way, without those weapons, Mr. Luon, but you can't win?

"You can stop it, but you can't take it down. One of the Marquis, for example, is the bearer of incredible regeneration, but even if he extinguishes his body, he regenerates it from nothing unless it is a weapon using dragon demon stones"

"You're unscrupulous. But on the contrary, what can we do with that dragon demon stone weapon... wait a minute. If you know who the mastermind is, aim there directly."

"That's what I'd like to do if I could... I'll explain the area again"

We're finally getting close to town - and I'll go further here.

"The name of this town is Renoteira. It's one of the emperor's direct territories, a place that wasn't supposed to be in a war."

"... Speaking of which, you had another concern"

And Richard shrugged his shoulder.

"The words make sense, but there is no money on this continent. What about the neighborhood?

"I'll sell off even the items I was carrying, just in case. It's quite expensive stuff, and I think it would be an immediate travel expense if we sold it where it should be."

As I turn my attention to the town, I will go further.

"In addition to listening, I'd like to use the demon to gather information... but I guess I'll be listening first today"

"Okay."

Sophia agreed to my word - I went into town.
