Chapter 457 – At the Border -1-

As the upper echelons of the Empire and the Federation began discussing a truce, even the petty disputes on the front lines that were facing each other disappeared and the flames were completely extinguished.

As the two countries with hegemony that controlled and shook the continent gave off a strangely calm and peaceful atmosphere, the small independent countries around them were also picking up on this.

– There is something positive changing between the Harun Empire and the Bolasen Federation!

There is a high probability that the outcome of a ceasefire in response to that notice will be confirmed today.

Originally, it would have been discussed and carefully implemented several times over a long period of time, but Falcone Lancaster, the rightful ruler of the empire, wants it to be so.

As the self-respecting Federal State readily reached out, the Empire also decided to stop guessing and weighing pros and cons.

From that day until the meeting, the contents of the letters exchanged between each country stopped at a standstill and moved forward smoothly like a ship on a favorable wind.

The end of such fruits is actions, not words.

The emperor, the heaviest person in the empire, decided to participate in the discussion of the truce and also expressed his opinion directly in deciding the location of the promise.

The location of the second meeting was decided on the border, and public officials and talents from the Empire and the Federation decorated and decorated the inhospitable place as best they could.

Of course, it is impossible for the Emperor of the Empire to go all the way inside the Federal State, but if he moves his feet this far, it will be a corresponding performance.

‘The picture is not bad.’

Even the emperor is satisfied.

If you look at its appearance, isn’t it good that it is noble enough to be remembered in history?

A decision to identify and eliminate a group of public warlocks who threaten the safety of the continent. The unity of those who shed blood for a long time, holding hands.

The name Falcoz Lancaster will be remembered for a long time as a saint.

The emperor has no doubt about that fact.

····

A building built in a short period of time by mobilizing many wizards and professionals along the border.

The door burst open in a space filled with devices and figures protecting the emperor of the empire.

“It’s a little late.”

“Adventurer friend! It’s been a while.”

Roman, who moved separately from the procession departing from the imperial family, raised his voice upon arrival.

2 Knight Belk Amaranth welcomed the bay with a golden spear on his shoulder.

“It’s been a while.”

“You still look healthy. I won’t hold you back for too long. Go to your Majesty first.”

“Thank you for your kindness.”

After briefly saying hello to the Duke, whom he had met, Roman went straight to the room where Eclair would be guarding.

I came back after saying hello and conversation faster than anyone else here.

‘Is that young man? Indeed… Belk’s words are correct.’

Asen Freemiller followed Roman like that with his eyes.

According to Duke Amaranth, the youngest platinum adventurer is like a wild beast.

When I saw it in person, it was true. I can’t think of any more expressions than that.

Even though the mana was stored to the point where it could not be read, an extraordinary atmosphere and extraordinary momentum flowed out.

The steps taken quietly, even unconsciously, and the center of gravity that threatens to rush into battle at any moment are brutal.

It was clear that he was an incredibly talented person beyond what I had heard, but in the eyes of the knight, it was also clear that Roman was not the person to become a knight.

If you are bound by rules such as chivalry and serve someone, you will probably be prone to extreme stress.

“Atra. Adventurer Roman sends greetings.”

“Yes, yes! Brother Roman! Thank you for your hard work on the long journey!”

The saint who received her greeting welcomed Roman with a dazzling smile and excited voice that would surprise anyone.

The guard belonging to the church standing behind has a complex expression that contradicts the sunshine-like face of the saint.

It was an atmosphere of interest from the perspective of the first driver watching.

“Was it okay for you to get here? It would have been easier for you if we had traveled together…”

“That’s right. Well, today was the day I had academy classes scheduled, so I was a bit lost in time handing over to the assistant instructor.”

Atra continued the conversation, suppressing as much as she could her desire to be hugged and pampered by Roman.

“Ah! Come to think of it, on the way here, I saw an animal I had never seen before, so I was going to ask my brother. Even Magella and the knights said they didn’t know the name.”

“I will try to give an answer like an adventurer. What does the animal look like?”

“A group of round, ball-like animals like this–“

“You saw a rare animal. Although the creature is cute, it has a different nature than it looks, so it is better to just look at it and not touch it. The name is -.”

Between the saint who chatters endlessly like a baby bird and Roman who listens and accepts it.

Duke Amaranth approached and spoke politely.

“Saint. If you don’t mind, may I borrow this friend for a while?”

“Huh?!”

Duke Amaranth glanced at Roman, whose expression did not change, as he looked at the saintly woman who was surprised by those words, as if she had been struck by lightning.

What on earth is this adventurer doing?

“Duke Freemiller and this adventurer friend have yet to show their faces, so I would like to introduce them before the meeting.”

“Oh… Of course, it’s okay…”

The second knight again expressed his understanding and apology to the saintess, who, contrary to what she said, did not seem to be okay at all.

She took in her breath with a bitter sound, making sure to kill her embarrassment and embarrassment before touching her mustache and walking with Roman.

“Nice to meet you. Knight of the Empire. Asen Primiller.”

“I am adventurer Roman. It is an honor to meet you.”

A person who introduces himself with the title of knight, not a duke or the first knight of the empire.

Roman raised the corner of his mouth, intrigued by the name, which he couldn’t have known if he lived in the empire.

“Jurgena’s body was identified. You did a great job without the help of the church.”

“It wasn’t a big deal.”

Is it humility? Was it really not a big deal?

Duke Primiller, who was curious about Roman, whose skills were difficult to read even up close, extended his hand.

“If the truce is signed today, Belk and I will actively take action, so let’s do our best together.”

“I look forward to it.”

A cheerful handshake without any sign of hesitation or rejection.

A satisfied smile appeared on Duke Primiller’s face.

··

··

“Let’s go.”

On either side of the emperor are a prime minister and a saint.

Let’s walk slowly down the hallway with the knight and Roman right behind us. After that, the crowd continued for a long time.

There are about 20 minutes left until the meeting.

Unless you’re fighting, it’s better to sit down a little early and leisurely rather than entering at that exact time.

This time, Vulcan Rockhead’s participation is confirmed, and there is a high possibility that Theodor Spenta will attend.

The emperor and prime minister moved around wearing ring-shaped artifacts on their fingers to withstand the power they gave off.

Magicians spent expensive materials to create separate seats for government officials to record meetings.

“You must have been pressed for time, but you did a great job. I’ll have to thank you for your hard work when I get back.”

If you follow this hallway, which even has an antique pattern that pleases the emperor, you will find a huge conference room created jointly by the two countries.

The format is to divide the waiting area in each country and meet in the center by following the passage.

Let Eclair take the lead and open the door at the end of the road.

I noticed that various races of the Federation, such as dragons, elves, dwarves, and beastmen, had just arrived and were looking for their seats.

A dragon tribe saw the people from the empire arrive and flew over to them.

He showed courtesy to the emperor.

“Greetings. I am Varian, head of administration at the Volasen Federal Bureau.”

“It’s nice to actually meet a name I’ve only seen in letters. Thank you for approaching me first.”

With his large wings folded, Varian placed his hand on one of his chest and lowered his head.

“Vulcan and Theodore are having a brief conversation. They will be back soon, so could you please wait a moment?”

“There’s no need to worry too much. There’s still time, right?”

“Thank you.”

Varian steps back to announce his arrival just in case.

The figures of the empire moved to find their respective positions.

Eclair stood behind the emperor as a guard, and next to him were the prime minister and two dukes.

Majella stood behind the saint, serving as her bodyguard, and Roman stood next to her.

“”···.””

As the mediator, Varian, left for a moment, an awkward atmosphere lingered in the space.

I hope to continue the conversation for a few minutes with only familiar faces.

Rattling -!

The door connected to the federal office opened roughly, and a fiery energy like fire filled the conference room.

“I’m sorry I’m late.”

Thud. Thud. Thud. Boom.

A huge and telltale Vulcan Rock Head entered the conference room with a crackling sound from his jaw.

“Varian. I hate wasting time with unnecessary etiquette or arguments. Come to a conclusion as quickly as possible.”

“I will keep that in mind.”

After that, Theodor Spenta and Varian entered together.

“Hoo.”

A welcoming face you see as soon as you enter.

Theodore smiled so much that his sharp molars were visible.

“It’s a good thing you came as expected.”

Theodore’s sharp pupils focused on Roman first.

Afterward he saw the Duke of Free Miller.
