The Branded Female Fencer
City of Pleasure, Part 256 - Remaining Things ⑥
"There are many fine reasons, but Daiyuan is all with us. I want to throw a stone at the mechanism of today's world. The world is divided by four major forces: Arnelia, the exorcism, sorcery and the Orimpas, with little room for other humans to intervene. It's stable, but not at all boring. Even the capable ones born in future generations are only color-coded and taken in by the laws (rules) under their control. Never turn to the side that makes the law (the rules) itself. Those who are dissatisfied with this state of affairs are among Zems."
"There is revulsion in the system of aristocracy on the east side. Who do you think is bleeding in the field, an incompetent aristocrat who is credited with many generations of previous achievements"
"I need to challenge the strong who were born into a man. Breaking down the system in that sense is the best act of sabotage. If it's just the strongest, I'd like to try it with a black magician, but I can always do that."
"... what the hell, the guild celebrities thought they weren't nosy, but they're gonna feel like an infinite fit"
Gunz looked at the three somewhat funny, but Cerberus didn't understand their emotions.
"(There's food, there's a comfortable bed, and if you pay, most of the demands can be met. Where in human society are you dissatisfied? Ora has no idea. It's a feeling. That's what Anomaly said, that the hardest thing in the world is human desire. I wish he had said that because human desire created him, he would not be heartbroken at all because he deserved how many human beings die because of him. I don't know what Anomaly means, guys. I know it's hard to have human desires. If humans were to perish, it would be by that desire. Greater than Ora in Orc, isn't it?)"
Cerberus' opinion may have been one of the truths in a way, but Cerberus, Gunz and the three of them gradually broke it down without even paying attention to that.
In it, Krausel invites Sheva to call.
"Sheva, did you hear Anaseth and Dart were murdered?
"On the contrary, perhaps Banderas has also been killed. He's the one who always looks like him, but he was bound to keep in touch with his pals in the ancient ginseng - Zems, me, and the fighter's predecessors, and" The Knight Commander ". Tarram should have planned to leave by now, but I haven't heard from him. I don't know about him, but he must have taken an unconsciousness."
"You think Bandras took an unconsciousness? Has that ever happened before?
"There's been a little bit of it. He was a stand-up, cautious man, but he was never smart. But given that trait, yes, it's hard to imagine we could catch up to death."
"Who do you think did it? Exactly. I don't know that much about it via the demon. Besides, all the demons over Tarram were hit from the way in. Probably the wind of the sword."
"There's no way I know what you don't know. But I sent a few disciples to Tarram to find out. He'll look into it and reveal it, but if there's a sword breeze, I hope you don't have to step on the tail of a false tiger."
"Hmm, I almost figured out who I was, but shouldn't I be too greedy? By the way, do we retaliate against Banderas?
"Maybe not in the meantime. It won't be easy soon enough to ask a former brave demon king like Riddill to take control of the dragon's nest, will it? Anyway, that Riddill will still be strong from now on. I heard Zems gave it a little because it was a delicacy that might outweigh Zems if he was a brave man. Looks like we did it easy earlier, but the truth is, we couldn't afford it that far. By the time Riddill takes control of the dragon's nest, we might be out of our hands. I'm sorry to hear about Banderas, but I can't afford to care that much right now. I'll just keep an eye on the guy who did it.
But what are you gonna do when Riddill's out of your hands?
"Zems is just happy. It's been a long time since I've had a good enemy. Finding someone to play with Zems is part of my job. If Lydill is going to grow up and be able to fight Zems, that's fine.
Well, Zems seems to have found someone interesting to play with himself. "
Sheva seemed intrigued by the words. I wonder if Zems would be interested in others once every few years.
"Ho? Who is that unfortunate person?
"Alphilis, the leader of the Tianxiang mercenary regiment. I heard there were people over there who cared too. Maybe there's some kind of connection."
"Well, I hope you enjoy your toys next time. I'm old now. This may be the last time you can play at all costs. I hope we can play as well as Lapenty and Dryan."
"Phew, speaking of which, did your old body have a cause around it? I'll make it interesting, I'm sure. I look forward to seeing what serenity-devouring countries will look like, starting with Arnelia. Now, I wonder how many people can understand what it means to attack Tarram."
Krausel imagined the course of the war to come and worked out measures with sincere pleasure.
