Chapter 2253 – 2253. Maehwageomsu Reincarnated in the Count’s Family
As soon as I was transported to the East Continent, I was able to understand why Priscilla said that the East Continent was not a suitable place for dragons. As an Auror Master, I immediately understood the difference between the Western Continent and the Eastern Continent.
‘Mana is scarcer than in the West Continent.’
I feel it is around 5% to 10%.
Most of the public and journalists probably don’t know. Those who are sensitive to mana and wizards will know that they are running low on mana.
Dragon? Needless to say. Since it is the most sensitive creature to mana, it will feel more than I do. Maybe you’re so stuffy that it’s hard to even breathe properly.
‘People in the Eastern Continent don’t know that mana is scarcer than in the Western Continent. Because I was born and raised on the Eastern Continent.’
I looked around. It was the summit of an unknown mountain. Because it is a fairly high mountain, you can see everything around. Found the way There was a city at the end of the road.
I concentrated mana in my eyes, raised my eyesight, looked at the city, and whistled.
‘It’s definitely the East Continent, so the structure of the city and the appearance of the houses are a bit different.’
As the West Continent is based on medieval fantasy, the culture and atmosphere had a medieval feel. On the other hand, cities on the Eastern Continent looked like a combination of Western and Eastern cultures.
‘I’ll have to go first and find out the information.’
I knew too little about the East Continent. The good news is that most of the eastern continent uses the continent’s official language, so there is no language barrier.
Thunder God.
Throwing your body into the air, you run towards the city. I frowned even as I stepped in the air. [Gwangmyeong Ascension Blade] The body is less light than when used in the world. Moreover, the amount of mana used was considerable.
‘I won’t be able to use it for long.’
Armed soldiers were controlling the entrance to the city walls. If you go in from the front, there will be a scuffle with the soldiers. Crossed the castle wall. It was easy because it was less than 10 m.
Landing on the floor of a dark alley. Beggars and homeless people scattered in the alleys look this way. They were disabled people without an arm or a leg.
“What are you looking at? “Get your eyes off me.”
When I spoke with a life-threatening tone, the beggars and homeless people quickly looked away. Even though I lacked information, I didn’t want to talk to beggars.
The street was relatively quiet. Most of the people walking around were women. Man? They are children or elderly people.
‘The Eastern Continent was at war. Were the most young men taken to the battlefield?’
I see a man too. He was large and armed with a sword and an ax on his back and waist. There was a lot of hair on the face and body.
‘Barbarian warrior? Is it the culture of the Eastern Continent? ‘It’s fascinating.’
A man walks confidently down the street. People avoided him. If the distance was close, he would bow his head in greeting, and if the distance was too far, he would disappear as if running away. They are trying not to be associated with barbarian warriors.
‘I understand because the distance is getting closer. The level of an Auror expert. That guy is a knight in the Western Continent.’
The barbarian warrior looked at me, who was blocking his path, and his already ferocious face was frowning.
“What are you? Looking at the tail, it doesn’t seem to be from around here. If you have anything to say, say it.”
He said. It seemed like he was threatening me, but his fingertips were trembling slightly. I felt my energy. Because I didn’t bother hiding my energy. For reference, the clothes she is wearing are black fur coats. It’s a bit hot, but not unbearable.
“I have some questions. “I need you to tell me.”
“… Are you curious? I’m pretty sure he’s not from here. You thought I was an assassin again. Tell me what you are curious about. “I’ll answer anything I know.”
His attitude changed.
I tilted my head.
“You were living well until just now?”
“As I said before, at first I thought you were an assassin who came to kill me. The power I feel is not normal… I thought I was going to die here, but since I said no, there is no need to antagonize an outstanding warrior like you. Now, what are you curious about?”
He has a confident voice, but his gaze is directed downwards, not at my eyes. I liked how it opened its eyes on its own.
“Where am I?”
“… Hothit. There’s no way you wouldn’t know… Are you testing me?”
“Put aside unnecessary comments and only answer questions that are asked. Where exactly is Hothit?”
“Where is Hothit?” Khairak’s Hothit. The location is near the center of Kairak. It is a place famous for warriors’ dueling competitions, but now all the warriors are on the battlefield, so no dueling competitions are being held.”
The eastern continent is currently occupied by two countries, each occupying half of it, and they are at war. One is Torn, who sent an envoy to the Kingdom of Rapelli, and the other is Kairak.
The reason you can’t see strong men is because of the war.
“They say Kairak has the advantage in war.”
“For now, yes.”
“… “Right now?”
“There are rumors going around that the life of Kairak’s war king, Wekung, is in danger after being poisoned by an assassin on the battlefield. If this rumor is true, Wekung will die soon. Then Kairak will be torn apart. From the beginning, Kairak was an organization close to a union that arose around Wekung. There is no such thing as a strong bond.”
“I have no interest in history… It would be better to know at least a little bit about it now. Explain the history of the Eastern Continent within 10 minutes.”
The man explained the history he knew. He got bored halfway through and almost fell asleep, but he did listen.
‘The war between Thorn and Kairak began three years ago. Originally, Torn was the most powerful country on the Eastern Continent, but after Kairak conquered and unified other countries, he went to war against Torn. It cannot be said that Kairak was aiming for victory over Yurahana in the war.’
I didn’t even listen to the history before that. I wasn’t interested.
“You said you were a warrior? Why are you here?”
“I killed my superior and was kicked out of the army. Listening to orders from someone weaker than me. “I couldn’t stand it.”
“The military just let you go?”
“They said they would kill him if he stopped them, so I let him go. “I came to Hothit, a nearby city, to work as a mercenary.”
“Okay? Just go on your way.”
He hesitated without moving.
“… Have you come to dominate Hothit? If so… “I will help you.”
“Didn’t you say you killed your superior in the military? Are you looking for an opportunity to kill me?”
“That guy was weaker than me and ordered me to kill him. You are different. “You are stronger than a great warrior.”
“Why are you following me?”
“Following the strong is a warrior’s instinct. … The problem is that there is nothing to do even if you are here.”
I was thinking while touching my chin.
There were still many things I didn’t know about the East Continent, so I needed a guide.
‘Originally, I planned to meet King Thorn, make him realize the difference in power, and use him as a puppet… It wouldn’t be a bad idea to conquer Kairak first.’
Kairak is a place where the strong are respected. It is a place where power comes first, whether it is politics or money.
“I allow it. What is your name?”
“With a heart. “What is the captain’s name?”
“It’s Eugene Prucus.”
“What a strange name. “I know you’re not from Kairak.”
“Is there a problem?”
“The captain is strong. “No problem.”
As I headed to the building in the center of the city, I learned of Kairak’s warrior rank.
Apprentice warrior, ordinary warrior, advanced warrior, great warrior.
Usually, advanced warriors are the best, and great warriors are at the Auror Master level. Heartro is a high-level warrior. He considered me a great warrior.
The warrior leader is the one who rules the city. He is more like a mayor than a nobleman.
War King was a title that only the King of Kairak could use.
“We have arrived.”
The warrior’s house was made of wood and was large. He decorated his surroundings with the bones of monsters and wild beasts. What should I say? It had a slightly oriental feel, but it seemed more barbaric.
“Stop.”
“Unauthorized persons cannot enter.”
Armed soldiers block my path. As I was fiddling with the hilt of the Hualien Blade, Heartro came out.
“Captain, I will handle it. Of course, these things are done by subordinates.”
“Handle it within 1 minute.”
It took less than 30 seconds. They fell like fallen leaves in front of Heartro’s fist. Went inside. There were no warriors. Instead, a rather strong-looking guy was sitting on the floor and drinking.
“An uninvited guest has arrived.”
“I will kill you and rule this city.”
Grumbling.
He pulled out the Hualien Blade from the sheath on his belt. A sword energy like blue smoke appears on the red blade. The sword energy was compressed and shone softly like starlight.
Auror Blade, the proof of an Auror Master.
“It’s at the level of a Daejeon warrior. I lost. “I will quietly step down from this position, but there is a condition.”
“Conditions?”
“You will not be satisfied with being the ruler of this city. I will follow you. Please accept me. There are about 500 warriors that I can utilize right now. “These 500 will follow you.”
“There is no reason for refusal. “A so-called warrior doesn’t even fight?”
“It is not a virtue of a warrior to fight a battle with no chance of winning. A warrior must distinguish between courage and bravery. More than anything, I was waiting for a moment of change. If you’ve seen Hothit, you’ll know. Hothit is dying for lack of men. I received news not long ago that the warriors sent to the battlefield were wiped out. There is no future for Hothit. If only I could face death quietly… “I will bet everything on the change that is you.”
“What I am trying to do is treason.”
“If successful, a new warlord will be born.”
He got up and handed me a drink.
“My name is Sopong. “What is your name?”
“It’s Eugene Prucus.”
I poured the alcohol into my mouth. It was quite a strong drink. I swallowed it all at once and threw the glass back. The drinking glass was broken.
“Assemble the soldiers immediately. “We will move to the capital where the war king is.”
“… Aren’t you being too hasty? However, it is difficult to successfully rebel with this many troops.”
Sopong shook his head. I asked him.
“Are there any other good opinions?”
“Heading to the capital, conquering surrounding cities and villages, recruiting warriors, and gathering supplies. “Even if the long-term war is difficult, the short-term war will be doable.”
“Should we bother with conquest activities?”
“No matter how powerful you are, you cannot handle everything with strength alone. You need to build a reputation. “You have to let people know that you are who you are, and then you will feel comfortable after taking the throne.”
“What I want is not rule, but reign.”
“So shouldn’t we make our presence known even more?”
There was nothing to refute.
