701 – The North Also Needs Attention – 2

Gaar Udesr Batar.

The first hero to unify the northern steppes and the only Khagan in nomadic history.

To be honest, from the Empire’s point of view, he was a great b*stard when he met an enemy, and from an objective perspective, there were no heroes like that. Wasn’t he a crazy person who almost defeated the empire with personal force? He even united for the first time the nomads who had been scattered for thousands of years.

Therefore, the empire called Baatar a reverse emperor, meaning a traitor, not Khagan, the nomadic emperor. This was a measure to undermine Baatar’s dignity and authority his, but at the same time, it was an acknowledgment of Baatar’s force his as ‘a force capable of overturning the heavens.’

‘Even now, I don’t know how I killed him.’

I’m serious. Even if I go back to the past, I’m not sure if I’ll be able to kill Khagan again. Perhaps I will die if I return?

To that extent, killing Khagan was the result of miracles, miracles, and miracles. It’s unfortunate and sad that they died, but it was the best outcome in the world.

But it’s also amazing. He is the enemy who killed my friends and a traitor who threatened the empire, and I am the only one who watches and remembers the monster’s end. I am the person on this continent who knows the most about Khagan.

“This is the weapon used by Yeokcheonja.”

Moreover, Khagan’s belongings were also lying dormant in our house’s warehouse.

Anyone would think that I am Khagan’s successor. He also happens to be the faction leader of the Northern faction, so he feels strange.

“Ah, no… Why is this in His Excellency’s mansion…”

A bizarre situation where an unimaginable object protrudes from an unimaginable place. Thanks to this, Gerhardt, who had noticed me, also opened his mouth and looked at Khagan’s belongings.

A heavy and huge greatsword and scythe. When Khagan wielded his greatsword, even the mightiest of knights was crushed, and when he wielded his scythe, his soldiers fell like harvesting ears. Perhaps the code name of Khagan was ‘Harvester’ before he was given the title ‘Reverse Emperor’.

“His Majesty Sang-tae gave all the spoils obtained during the Great Purge War to His Excellency Jeon Seung-gong, and His Excellency gave me, who survived the fight against Yeok-cheon-ja, his weapons.”

“Well, I see.”

Anyway, when I told the confused Gerhard the acquisition route, he quickly nodded his head in understanding.

“I will lend this to Mr. Gerhardt.”

“Yes!?”

However, he started shaking his head violently at the words he calmly added.

“No, Your Excellency! It’s too much for me!”

“There is no such thing as an object that is too much for a scholar. It is a loan for research rather than anything else, so what is the problem?”

With those words, he raised his great sword and scythe.

This heavy feeling. I didn’t really miss it.

“Yeok Cheonja was the head of the nomads and the greatest warrior in the steppe. In order to know the life of a warrior, you must also know the warrior’s weapons.”

“That’s true, but…”

“So, please accept it. The more Mr. Gerhardt studies about the Reverse Heaven, the more the heroes of the empire who fought against the Reverse Heaven will remain in everyone’s memory.”

Then Gerhard’s expression turned serious.

What I just said was a request that you accept it for the sake of my comrades. As the power and majesty of the monster is revealed, the reputation of those who defeated the monster also increases.

“I will definitely repay your kindness.”

“I know Mr. Gerhardt’s abilities well. I look forward to it.”

Hand over Khagan’s armor to Gerhard with a smile—

“Yeah!”

“Ah.”

Unfortunately, Khagan’s weapon was not a weight that a single scholar could bear.

Both of Gerhardt’s shoulders were dislocated.

The reason is nothing special. Suddenly, a heavy object fell on both of his hands. How could the weak scholar’s body withstand it?

It was an unexpected disaster, but fortunately we had Trixie, the greatest wizard on the continent, in our house. A shoulder dislocation can be treated quickly…

“I’m sorry, Mr. Gerhardt. I was short on thought and made a mistake.”

And he bowed his head towards Gerhard, whose shoulder had been safely healed.

I was stupid. As soon as you picked up the weapon, you thought about how heavy it felt and all, but you handed it to a civilian without thinking about it. If it feels heavy to me, how can it be felt to civilians?

“It’s okay, Your Excellency. I’m just glad that I felt a little bit of the power of the reverse angel!”

Thankfully, this real scholar burst out laughing even though he was treated unfairly.

If other people had laughed, they would have thought it was a forced laugh, but when Gerhard did that, it seemed sincere.

“I’m embarrassed to say that I am the minister.”

After looking at Gerhard like that, I cautiously opened my mouth.

“Your shoulder is probably still in a shocked state, so how about sleeping at the mansion today? In the meantime, we can talk about paracentesis.”

“It’s an honor for me, but…”

Gerhard’s eyes moved busily at my suggestion.

This is an opportunity to not only borrow memorabilia from the research subject, but also have a one-on-one conversation with someone who knows the research subject better than anyone else. I don’t know if Gerhard feels sorry for me, but right now I’m burning with motivation and a sense of duty for research. It would be an attractive offer to refuse.

However, since I know that I am still on honeymoon and childcare leave, it would be difficult to willingly accept it. Because an outsider is breaking into the family home.

“That’s a good idea. A dislocation is an injury that can be easily repaired, but it’s also an injury that can easily recur. It’s best to watch for a day just in case.”

Trixie gently pushed Gerhardt’s back as he was struggling between reason and desire.

“Then, at the risk of being rude, I will beg you for just one day.”

“Haha, I suggested it first. Is there anything rude about it? Let’s talk about various things like we did at the academy after a long time.”

“It is an honor, Your Excellency.”

I almost instinctively patted Gerhard on the shoulder, but I held back.

He cannot smash his acquaintance’s shoulder twice.

I don’t know how long it’s been since I last told someone about Khagan.

“The Gaar tribe is a tribe where there was a lot of struggle between clans for the leadership of the tribe. It was the emperor who took control of the Gaar tribe in an instant, and raised the Gaar tribe to the best tribe in the North .”

“It’s surprising. They were a tribe that was big enough to unite the north, so I thought they would be a powerful tribe from long ago.”

“It would have been better if that had been the case. Previous Margraves of Sorden would have eradicated or appeased a powerful tribe in the north at an early stage. If the Gaar tribe had previously stood out, the emergence of a reverse emperor could have been prevented.”

“Indeed. It grew so fast that the empire missed the opportunity to step forward.”

To be exact, it was a TMI release at the level of ‘In the beginning there was a Khagan…’, But Gerhard was listening with a positive expression.

The listener’s reaction is great, so the speaker is also happy. With the current momentum, I think I will be able to explain the events that occurred during the Great Punishment War day by day.

“By the way. How much do you know about the Eight Course Demons? In order to understand Yeokcheonja, it is good to have knowledge about the Eight Course Demons.”

“Shamefully, I still only know the name and clan affiliation. I was able to tour the north thanks to His Excellency’s consideration, but there were strangely no records of the Emperor of Heaven and the Eight Course Demons.”

Of course, records in the North are rare.

As I said that, I slowly lowered my eyes at the sight of Gerhard smiling shyly.

In fact, I am the one who censored the information about Khagan and the Eight Coursers. At that time, the nomads idolized the Khagan and the Eight Coursers and did everything they could to prevent them from gathering again. The Temple of the Eternal Blue Sky also suffered a campfire during that time.

If you think about it, even Christina, who wrote a thesis on Aridu Keza and Udesr Jairug, is not normal.

‘Even though they were the same person.’

Sorry. If I had burned less information, I wouldn’t have mistaken the two for different people.

***

His Excellency’s explanation was simple, but every word was meaningful.

“Chauzid Solgo Ure was the second-in-command of the Yeokcheonja camp and a veteran of battles. He led the army in battles where Yeokcheonja must win. Several corps commanders even died while fighting him.”

Information about the location of Chauzid Solgo Ure, who was known only as a famous archer.

“Jalair Mog Karial and Mog Timuen were brother and sister. The older sister, Karial, was a leading shaman in the North, and the younger brother, Timuen, was a warrior.”

“Brother and sister are selling horses side by side. It makes me wonder about her parents.”

“Actually, I thought they were sisters at first.”

“Yes?”

Information that I wasn’t particularly curious about that Mog Timuen had a beautiful appearance.

“Ordo Cuman Eli was the greatest sorcerer, dancer, and priest in the North. He had the ability to control shadows and nightmares, making him difficult to subdue.”

“Shadow… Ramen?”

“Blades rose from the shadows underfoot, or they tied up the shadows and prevented them from moving… Or something like that. There was no such chaos.”

There is even information that the magic of the North is more diverse and unique than that of the continent.

Each one was interesting. At some point, we only heard about the Eight Course Horses rather than Yeokcheonja, but as His Excellency said, if you want to know about Yeokcheonja, the leader, you also need to know about the Eight Courser Demons who are his limbs his —

– This is the first time I’ve seen Jeong Ju-min so interested in the North. If you live long, you can see all the sights.

?

At that moment, I heard an unfamiliar voice.

‘What is it?’

Confusing. There’s only me and Your Excellency in this reception room? Where is this voice coming from?

– Uh? Can you hear my voice?

An unfamiliar voice rang out again.

It felt like it was coming from my head, not my ears.

“Mr. Gerhardt?”

“Oh, yeah?”

“Why are you doing that? Your expression has darkened a little.”

I couldn’t bear to open my mouth to His Excellency’s question. How worried would you be if I told you that in addition to dislocating your shoulder, you also have strange voices ringing in your head?

However, while I was hesitating, His Excellency’s face also began to harden.

“…Mr. Gerhardt. Do you by any chance hear a young woman’s voice in your head?”

“Yes, yes… That’s right.”

At those words, His Excellency frowned for a moment, then looked at Yeok Cheonja’s weapon next to me.

“Is it because of that?”

Then he muttered something difficult to understand.
