Chapter 149 – #148 Florian’s Hero Begins to Become Famous in Earnest
The cleanup was completed earlier than expected.
After destroying all important documents and completely erasing all traces of our lives, we found a carriage and quietly traveled to the capital.
“What do you guys want to do?”
The elves look at each other in response to my question.
Serendiya answers as a representative.
“I don’t have any grand plans for what to do. Since the master is in the capital, we are thinking of camping near the capital.”
“Then go to my territory. I will write you a letter imbued with my magic. There is a temple there, and you can go to a woman named Kindre.”
“If it’s cranberry territory… It’s not bad.”
“I guess so. There are only mountains around.”
According to records, elves are inherently fond of forests.
As I watched the gentle smiles appear on the three women’s lips, I could clearly feel that fact.
“Now, here’s the letter. Then, let’s go.”
“Yes. I will go then. If you need anything, please call me right away.”
“Okay. Bye, Audrey and Sophia too.”
Nod. Three hooded women bowed down to her once. They traveled to my hometown in a carriage.
And then I moved straight to the academy.
‘Then let’s take another step towards our goal.’
– Great! Let’s go quickly!
I moved to the academy within a month.
Because of something that suddenly happened in my hometown, I was worried because I wasn’t able to prepare any new class content at the beginning of the semester.
I wonder if the two women are doing well without me…
However, contrary to my worries, the princess and princess were conducting the class smoothly.
“Then suddenly the entire ship began to descend into the deep abyss of the sea.”
If you listen closely, it looks like they are talking about a decisive battle with Audrey, the Jordanian captain and shaman.
– All. Our cow is opening her mouth?
That’s right.
Should the royal family really be called the royal family?
I know very well what to say to get the other person to focus.
– Gwangnyeon also has great sense.
Now, not only students but also numerous auditors had gathered here to form a huge crowd.
However, as the princess’s delicious story and the princess’s intermittent magic visions came together in front of him, it became so quiet that not even the sound of breathing could be heard.
In this way, the story reaches the moment it reaches the bottom of the abyss.
Finally, we enter into a clash with Audrey…
“That’s it for today.”
“Eh?”
“The princess, no, the professor?!”
Students who were completely focused and immersed express strong regret.
Even auditors join in and demand more.
But the princess pointed at her watch and shook her head.
“The lecture is already over. I’ll continue talking to you next time.”
“Oh. It’s already…”
Students have no choice but to leave because they have next class.
I can hear their conversation in my ears.
“Wow… I think I made a good decision to sign up for a practical magic class! I got to hear about what happened at Florian first hand…!”
“That’s right. And wasn’t today’s story really amazing? Oh my god, a mermaid!”
But. It’s amazing.
Mermaids are creatures that have gone unnoticed by humans for so long that they only appear in old literature.
To some extent, quite a few wizards were claiming that they would have become extinct.
However, this time, as many people were captured, the streets of the capital were already abuzz with the story.
In the short time I spent running to the academy, even I heard it three times.
Two people cleaning up after everyone has left.
He looks at me pretending to be someone, recognizes me even though I’m completely covered in a robe, and runs towards me at once.
“Kale!”
“When did you come?”
“I just arrived. But how do you recognize me, both of you?”
It’s fascinating.
When I hid my identity with a robe, her face was darkened, so she could never recognize me from my appearance.
Then the two women said.
“Well, since it’s you, Cale, wouldn’t it be natural for you to recognize it?”
“That’s right. I keep your height, head size, arm and leg length, etc… I even keep in mind the size of your dick before and after erection!”
I quickly looked around at Bella’s unfiltered words.
Fortunately, there is no one.
He really can’t let his guard down at all.
“So, did you handle everything well?”
“Yes. Thanks to the time you gave me, I was able to resolve the issue well.”
“That’s good. Then now all that’s left to do is celebrate.”
“Yes? What…?”
“Your title as earl.”
Oh, oh. Finally!
The title award ceremony was scheduled to be held a week later.
Meanwhile, I spent most of my time preparing new practical magic classes with the two women and walking around the streets of the capital.
This is because it was necessary to check how Florian’s case was spreading within the streets.
– Why?
‘There are usually people who use these rumors maliciously.’
– Hmm~
But could it be because the knights of the knight order directly under the emperor were involved in the incident?
There was almost no information distorted in strange ways.
They probably judged that if they messed up their reputation for no reason, it wouldn’t end well.
Anyway, as I was walking around like that, I was able to hear various rumors going around the capital… The first one was about the sea, which is the hottest potato these days.
“Boss. Are there any octopuses?”
“It is said that the octopus harvest in Fort Florian has decreased significantly. So there is almost nothing produced, and it is expensive!”
Octopus. Probably many of them were mermaids.
Those who were cursed and had to live their entire lives as Kraken’s offspring, except for a brief moment when the seal was released.
However, as the seal was released, the harvest plummeted, and people speculated that this strange phenomenon might have something to do with the disappearance of the blue night sea phenomenon.
And there was someone who was spreading rumors with him…
– Uh? Someone else out there is selling your name.
‘Where, where?’
Head to the place pointed out by Perez.
A blonde man can be seen strutting towards the two ladies.
“I’m pretty close to that Baron Cranberry? We’ve been friends since we were kids.”
“Oh my. Really?”
“Could you please arrange a meeting for the two of us?”
“Of course! I’ll make an appointment, so when I call you at night, you can come out right away.”
Perez’s question after seeing their behavior.
– Is this a familiar face?
‘No. It’s my first time seeing it.’
Still, I think I know roughly what the picture is.
– What is it?
‘I guess the intention is to seduce the two empty-headed ladies and get them out of trouble.’
– Whoosh. Aslan! Are you going to leave that alone? Maybe our food will be taken away?
Is that possible?
I widened the distance and used letter magic.
Then he sent it high into the sky and made it fall on the guy’s head.
– Take it! This is your punishment for selling out the name of the God of Love! Heavenly punishment!
“Clean?!
A man who was showing off in front of women grabbed his crotch and rolled around on the floor.
Perez looks at this and speaks as if he feels refreshed.
– Heh. How do you feel? Angry eunuch? From next time, live like a good human being!
The guy continued to whine and rub his crotch with his hand, and the two ladies who saw it quickly left the place with disgusted expressions.
I took a step back after seeing that.
– Hey. But there are really a lot of kids selling your name.
‘I guess that’s how famous it became.’
What happened in the Florian Deep Sea was watched not only by the knights who were there at the time but also by ordinary soldiers.
That’s probably why. The reason it became so famous.
– I honestly don’t understand. Is that what will make it so famous?
‘Pharez. Do you know what knights and commoners have in common?’
– Well? Stubborn and foolish?
That is also true.
But it’s not the answer I want.
I immediately told Perez, who was curious, the answer.
‘Both show strong emotions in response to heroic actions.’
Even though knights are essentially idiots who value such things.
Secretly, even ordinary people feel their hearts warming up at that part.
Young children in every empire grow up listening to it from an early age.
The stories of countless heroes who sacrificed, devoted themselves, and died when the empire was first established.
When boys hear that story, they dream of becoming those characters at least once.
Girls imagine meeting and loving such people.
‘Currently, the empire is in an unstable situation due to the ongoing war. It was like that when the empire was founded. It means a lot that someone who showed heroic behavior appeared in such a similar situation.’
For some people, they may see images of themselves in the past when they were young and gave up on their dreams.
For some, it could be a spark of hope that will end this dark era.
They cheer wildly for that.
‘What must the soldiers and knights have felt when they saw the back of the man left alone in the dark depths of the sea to save his comrades?’
Those involved will never forget it for the rest of their lives, and those who hear the story will draw that moment using every image they can imagine.
And I will speak loudly.
The birth of a new hero!
– Oh, oh. It was truly a godsend to act that way at that moment.
At that time, someone walked down the street and shouted loudly.
“The title of Count has been awarded to Baron Cranberry! Florian’s achievements have been recognized and the title of Count has been awarded!”
“Look. Brother, is that true?”
“If that’s true, isn’t this the first commoner family in nearly 500 years?”
“What even the Violet family couldn’t achieve…!”
Right. The reason why people are so enthusiastic about him may be that he is a commoner-turned-noble.
Although he was obviously a person completely unrelated to them, the common people walking on the streets were happy as if it were their own business.
My heart was touched for a moment, but my feelings turned cold…
Suddenly people started shouting loudly.
“Long live your Majesty the Emperor!”
– Tsk tsk tsk.
Ah… This is absurd.
Long live your Majesty the Emperor. Is there anything left there?
It is a moment when you realize how well the royal family manages their image, unlike the nobles.
– Do you think it’s still competitive?
‘Well, that’s right.’
Being able to manage your image means that you still have a lot of energy left.
Originally, it was in a situation where it would fall below the nobility, but it was completely resolved when a war broke out with the neighboring empire.
The troops, finances, and children of the nobles were quickly consumed by the war.
‘Fuck. It’s kind of annoying to hear the emperor who has nothing to shout for.’
– Tsk tsk tsk. Hang in there, Aslan. You’re going to have one of the emperor’s wives soon, right? Skip the small stuff.
‘No, still. That’s that and this is this…’
– Then imagine it. Get on top of the emperor’s wife, shake your hips and fill me with your seed.
… Okay. How important is that shouting for independence?
4 Not only the empress but also her other wives ate it. Let us eat all the daughters that those bitches gave birth to.
And that precious womb will give birth to many of my children.
– How do you feel?
‘Hmm. I feel better.’
– Right?
But as a result, one problem arose… As the dick became fully erect, walking became uncomfortable.
As I stood there waiting for her to subside, I suddenly felt her staring at me and turned my head to the side.
In a dark alley, a woman is looking at me with her eyes wide open.
Those eyes were aimed directly at my crotch.
“…”
“…”
Then our eyes met.
Let there be some awkward air between us for a moment.
– Hey, this is a conduction angle. The God of Love goes out!
When Perez suddenly interrupted me, I said something without realizing it.
“Shall I show you heaven, sister?”
“… Yes♥”
