Sword of the Philosopher

The role of a hero

Success in getting cooperation...... there was just a continuation from King Claudius's mouth.

"Sophia. In the future... based on the fact that we are back in the castle, it is possible that the court ministers will come to you not to go outside anymore"

"I am well aware of it, but we cannot yet calm down"

"I know that too, so I'll try to persuade you... if this battle is over, I'll have you in the castle for the moment. Is there a problem there?

"... what will happen to Master Luon?

"In my position, Lord Le On will have you in this castle too."

... Sophia's fiancée.

"I don't mind... but this one still has a purpose"

"What do you do?

- I can't tell you about Ange, so I'll leave this here to be "the information I got in the demon world,"

"... there's someone in Lisfana who apparently has the information we need."

"Will we cross the continent again..."

King Claudius puts his hand on his mouth and thinks. I guess it's a natural reaction.

When this happens, there is going to be an extra bend in getting the information that I want... and Devals made a suggestion here that I can't even think of.

"If that's all you know, there's a better solution."

"... the solution?

When asked back, Devals replied, "Oh,"

"We have all three continents here. Yet Mr. Luon is a great hero to one of them, and the other also knows the emperor. And the other, even though it has nothing to do with the nations of man, is a being able to talk to the heads of the species who have strong ties to those nations. If so, is it the most likely reason to go and talk as a messenger in order to deepen friendship with other continents?

"... So you're headed to the continent of Lisfana for public reasons"

"Correct"

"Surely it's not impossible that way."

Claudius nods at Devals' suggestion.

"We haven't made it public so far about what we've gathered. As we gathered in the name of searching for Lord Luon and the others, there are some aspects that we had to do... many people will also hear about our reputation on other continents. If that feat means that the messenger has officially spoken and visited, there is no problem, and it will not be difficult to further develop from here and interact with other continents… to take that kind of flow."

"In public form, some aspects will be difficult to move,"

Sophia says. And King Claudius,

"But there are also advantages... Lord Luon, the only information we have is that there are people in the continent of Lisfana who have what Lord Luon wants, right?

"Right."

"Then it's also possible to use a public institution or something and look for a place like that? The continent of Lisfana is ruled by one country, just like the continent of Nazareid. You'll have the option to rely on your country to find information."

... it may be more efficient to get information from various countries and look for it.

Something will be done about the reasons for visiting the continent, and that is certainly not one way.

"Except we'll be a little cramped about Lord Luon and Sophia in the future."

Yes, King Claudius continues.

"But it is also true that with it we will be able to receive a great deal of support: the country. It is difficult to determine which is better, but what Lord Luon will gain throughout his journey is likely to be gained even if he is in this castle."

... There's going to be more clutter, but there's also benefits, as the king tells you.

Besides, it is also true that the faces of the three continents have thus become in a position to face each other and talk to each other, and the existence of me as a hero in the future may become cramped even as I travel.

Thinking about it, it's also good about public standing around here... but honestly, it sounds tough.

"… one thing, I'd like to confirm"

I ask King Claudius.

"If I were to live in this castle, what would I do?

"I guess it can't be just a diner because there are some positional issues. I have some thoughts on what to do, but there is a possibility that I will be asked to take up some position"

I see. I mean, Sophia's fiancée, and I don't know if she deserves it, but I'm sure she'll be given an identity.

Honestly, I've only lived to be strong. I also get anxiety about how far I can contribute to the castle... but whatever this one says, it's not going to listen to me in a situational way.

"... there may be something I can do."

When told that way, King Claudius began to laugh.

"If Lord Luon says so, we'll lose our standing."

"Because I think I can only fight..."

"I don't think so, Lord Luon just hasn't noticed"

Is it true...... I wanted to argue, but couldn't say anything more because the king speaks with a grin.

- And I have one question for you.

And now Devals opens his mouth.

"As a king, I'm deciding in my head what I want to do with Mr. Leon... how long does it take for Mr. Leon or Mr. Sophia to leave the castle again?

"I don't know, but I don't think we're talking about years."

"Well... I've heard a lot from Mr. Luon, but there could be a big fight any day. I think we should be ready to move as soon as there are signs of that."

"Hmm, sure. Lord Luon, do you mind if we discuss that later?

"Yes."

"And what, I need a hand personally"

And, Devals tells King Claudius. And the king frowned,

"You mean I give you a hand?

"No, give me the hands of Mr. Leon and the others."

"I mean, he wants to make a request while you're in the castle"

"Oh. I'm actually going to send an angel to this continent for a while because of all the circumstances. This is a matter of discussion and decision with the spirits, but I would like a little help from Mr. Leon and the others on that."

... deviating from the story of the demon world, it's what angels themselves are all about.

"This is about the existence that Mr. Leon is chasing, so as Mr. Leon, you should want to join him"

"Depending on the content, if there's anything I can do to help, I'd like to."

"I thought you'd say that... just the details after the fight. I still have to do a lot about dispatch."

I guess that means you want to ask me or Sophia for a job when you decide to send an angel. And King Claudius nodded,

"As for the request from the head of the heavenly realm, the court ministers will be convinced... let's make an attitude that Lord Luon can move through."

"Negotiations are in place... well, I'm sorry I missed a lot. Let me tell you something specific about the power of war."

Devals tells Croix as he says so.

"What's the deadline?

"About two months."

"Well, that's good enough... Mr. Leon and the others have found it, and this one should start getting ready to return"

"Let's get in touch."

Gark raises his hand. Devals said, "Please,"

"The question is where to make the rendezvous point, Even if it's not a big army in this country, it's a big fuss when angels, spirits, dragons come together."

"There is a place where a door to the demonic realm exists. Let's do it there."

Croix suggested, presented the place and everyone agreed - negotiations were well under way and preparations for the battle were about to begin at last.
