Chapter 370 – Final Use
About the topic that the platinum adventurer in the throne room is asking about.
Even though the emperor made it clear that he did not want to continue, Roman did not back down.
Eclair watched silently, and a look of anxiety did not leave her gaze, but from Roman’s point of view, today was the perfect opportunity to get a definite answer.
“Roman, I want you to refuse the drinking party invited by the third knight. Be careful… If this continues, wouldn’t it be no different from stepping into a trap even though you know it’s a trap?”
“Your Majesty. This may be an extremely arrogant statement, but my actions serve as an example and guide for many adventurers.”
Lancaster closed his eyes tightly, feeling the muscles around his eyes tense up.
I know what Roman’s words meant.
“···Please at least postpone it for now. Should I step in and put up a wall on the peaceful promise?”
“My personal desire to follow your will is earnest. However, it is unbecoming of the Adventurer’s Guild to delay without a justifiable reason.”
At a time like this, we cannot openly state our intention to keep things in check by saying that the imperial family ordered us to do so.
The emperor’s wrinkles deepened.
‘It’s giving me a headache.’
In the end, Roman’s words were a valid reason for him, the adventurer, to leave the place.
In other words, it is no different from asking for official permission to go to the federal government.
It was a funny sight, as if an adventurer was daring to force a choice on the ruler of an empire.
Since I heard the bizarre behavior of the three knights, whom I had never heard or seen in my lifetime, I had an intuition that something was going to happen.
Falcone Lancaster knows he has a decision to make here.
‘Actually, I would be grateful just for reporting and waiting for permission…’
I felt like I wanted to nail Roman down and tell him not to do anything for the time being.
The moment you adopt an attitude of prohibition or restraint, there is no turning back.
Even if he is the emperor of an empire, if he continues to be shackled by the footsteps of a platinum adventurer with good intentions, there is a definite possibility that he will end up in the same situation as other platinum adventurers and the relationship he has built will collapse.
‘···Is the peaceful era truly coming to an end?’
Negative emotions dwell in the emperor’s sighs.
As silence with a mysterious weight began to spread like fog, Roman opened his mouth again.
“Your Majesty. I dare to assure you that your concerns are okay.”
“I didn’t know you had such a chatty side… If you have something you want to express, please do so openly.”
Roman, thanking the emperor for listening to him, placed a hand on his chest.
The powerful, energetic heartbeat tickled his palms through his sensitive senses.
“Unlike in the past, now I do not love difficult times. I absolutely do not expect my value to increase because the continent is in chaos or there is blood and wind and chaos.”
“Other than that, what benefit is there to you, an adventurer, from your current actions? Do you want to at least have a fight with knights of high honor?”
Roman briefly made eye contact with the red eyes of Eclair, who was standing motionless next to the Emperor.
I looked at the emperor with a smile that was nourished by affection.
“I have no intention of satisfying that desire. I simply hope that the world will be at least a little better for my children to live in in the future.”
“?”
Even the emperor, who had encountered many different types of people, could not immediately understand what Roman meant.
No, it would be correct to say that he could not accept it regardless of his understanding.
A sentence that makes you stop thinking, considering it is a statement made not by anyone but by one of the top adventurers.
“Even if you find it difficult to believe my personal opinion, I believe there is nothing you can do about it.”
“What on earth happened while we weren’t seeing each other?”
“As your Majesty said, a person’s heart can change overnight.”
Since Roman only smiles without giving a detailed answer, Lancaster just chews his lip.
Roman, who has been handling the imperial family’s requests so far, is a platinum adventurer who carefully weighs the profits and losses. He is an adventurer who showed satisfactory results no matter how cruel and arduous the process was.
Even if the person who remains in memory like that talks about future children.
From the emperor’s point of view, it was an unimaginable problem that things began to change with just one woman’s meal as the starting point.
“···.”
A blade that had lost its sheath to sleep in and was carried away by the current, floating on the blood.
The inner thoughts of the bloody adventurer that reminded me of that image have transformed into an indecipherable form.
‘I would have understood if the blade had become dull… It’s a pain in the ass to make me so greedy.’
It was clear that Roman’s attitude on the outside had become softer than in the past.
But.
Now, this change is like a sword that had no sheath finds a sheath, adjusts itself, and begins to hide it clearly.
The amount of valid information revealed has decreased, and it has become more difficult to keep in mind.
It seems that it has become twice as difficult to manipulate and manipulate it as you want.
“Hmm.”
Perfect! Perfect! Perfect!
Every time the emperor moved his fingers in thought, the rings and bracelets hit the chair and made a cheerful sound.
An adventurer watching.
As Roman reaches this point, he is almost sure what answer the old man will give.
‘Answer quickly. Raccoon.’
Falcon Lancaster, the sun of the Empire, may be afraid of the waves of war. He does not show incompetence in denying and avoiding the very existence of waves.
The reason he was convinced to blow things up and showed good intentions like he did now before making the decision is because he knows that.
“···The step toward the federal state is something the imperial family knows nothing about and is the arbitrary decision of the platinum adventurer Roman.”
“Thank you for your decision.”
The answer was as expected. Without going further, that tacit agreement was enough.
Among the two things, it means putting off drinking.
If I do this, that raccoon will give up trying to escape reality and make his own preparations before I join the drinking party.
“Whew… I want to rest a little.”
“I’m going to leave.”
The sight of the emperor nodding his head without making a sound at Roman’s words seemed as if all his strength had been exhausted and he was ready to fall off the chair at any moment.
Roman’s steps as he left the throne room were light, as if he were being carried by the wind, contrary to Lancaster’s.
‘Now let’s get ready first.’
The refreshing feeling of earning all my income in one audience was the best.
With the momentum rising, it was perfect to meet Robert and the last wanderer.
*****
Squeak -!
A window that opens wide without resistance even without force.
Robert checks several times every day to see if the academy dormitory windows open properly.
It may be unusual to see that cadets usually check to see if the device is unlocked, instead of paying attention to locking it.
‘You damn bastard! I’m telling you to come quickly…!’
How many people in the world are waiting to be kidnapped?
Someone living an unhappy life? Someone who wants to get out of their seat not by their own strength, but by someone else’s hand?
It may exist like this, but the reasons are all different.
The number of people who are actually kidnapped will be very small, so you can count them with your fingers.
But every time he gets kidnapped, he comes back alive.
Wouldn’t Robert be the only person on the continent waiting to be resumed?
“Ha···.”
Sighing, Robert roughly removed the items piled up on the bed and laid down his soggy body.
If you look around, it’s not a room, but a space that could be called a pigsty.
Bottles of alcohol rolling around without a place to step, food piled up unorganized after eating, and textbooks used as props.
If it weren’t for Robert’s natural body, it wouldn’t be surprising if he was already sick.
‘Boring.’
A beard that grows rough when you touch your chin. Bangs that are unkempt and have grown to the point where they cover the eyes.
The way he had been in the past, when he had been scolding Isaac from the Department of Magic to clean things up, was out of the question.
Even though I wasn’t completely sure, thinking about my future departure from this world gave me no motivation to do anything.
Even if you work hard and get good grades at the academy, the moment you leave, it’s like nothing.
“Haaam~!”
A yawn comes out of my mouth with the force of tearing open my mouth.
My stomach was full and my back was warm, so the horse came at me and my eyes began to close helplessly.
··
··
Roman, who was sitting on the dormitory window, laughed under the mask that covered his subordinates.
Starting with the bad smell coming from the room, isn’t it absurd to see Robert gritting his teeth and scratching his stomach?
‘There’s another floor on the floor or something like that? ‘This guy breaks down every time I see him.’
I thought there wouldn’t be more than that, but every time I see it, it breaks a new record.
The moment I saw it, I wanted to break my head, but today I have some comfort, so I can bear it.
‘Today is the last day of this.’
Being the last wanderer means being the last for me.
It’s not the last time in the game.
From now on, I don’t feel greedy because the truth about the world or objects that can only be used with Robert’s skills appear.
“Tsk…”
Roman, who was impressed by the stench of the room he was running away from, saying that even livestock couldn’t live in it, clicked his tongue and started taking out strong ropes and cloth from his inventory.
And proceed with a series of procedures as you do every time.
Afterwards, Robert opened his eyes and the background he saw was a dense forest.
