Chapter 528 – 43. The Empire of Dezac – Confusing Systems (1)
[The Empire of Dezac – Confusing System]
Having regained his composure, Valdez thought he was very lucky.
The appearance of the green dragon Eleniak was of great help to him.
Thanks to her, all the attention was on her at once, and thanks to her, he was able to erase his performance from people’s heads for a while. Even if it was at the level of blocking the first attack of the general, the opponent was the opponent.
Of course, those who had not forgotten were still looking suspiciously.
Like Natalie for example.
“…”
Seeing her burdened gaze, Valdez turned his head.
Perhaps if there were just the two of them, they would have been eager to pry at them right away, but fortunately that wasn’t the case.
“Aren’t you sick? If it’s even a little strange…”
“It’s okay. You just got treated by Natalie-sama.”
“Still…”
“It’s okay. Natalie-sama, don’t you believe in magic?”
“…Believe me.”
Adele and Theresia.
Two people were next to him now.
An Eleniac that appeared in the sky not in human form, but in its true form.
While everyone, even the general, raised his fists and looked up at him, Valdes quickly fell.
Until he hastily uses mana to injure himself.
Unlike Escalor’s, this was an easy wound to heal.
And Adele, who was awakened by the commotion outside, came out to the first floor of the Magic Tower and witnessed it.
Thanks to this, I was transferred to the top floor of the magic tower and was able to rest on the bed.
‘It was a bit dangerous as Eleniak flinched after seeing me fall, but I’m glad he didn’t come running.’
As expected, it was a dragon with a sense of not having lived a long life in vain.
“Ha ha. I really don’t know what’s going on.”
Adele, who hadn’t heard much yet, sighed and sat down in her chair.
As soon as she picked her maiden for Valdez, she passed out while having a hot time.
He felt a tremendous amount of magic nearby and opened his eyes. When he came out, Valdes suddenly collapsed and a dragon floated in the sky. Moreover, it is said that the reason why Valdes fell was the general’s surprise attack.
She, too, was the same as everyone else that her head still didn’t turn in a sudden situation.
“Tessa. Have you heard anything?”
Valdez asked Natalie, who had been keeping an eye on her, looking at her pupil.
She is known as the 4th Princess.
Moreover, it was too late to come to the magic tower, so I was just in case.
However, Theresia shook her head.
“No…”
“I see.”
“All I heard was… The general and… The dragon together… Went to His Majesty…”
“Hmm. Yes.”
Natalie frowned.
As expected, there was only one reason for Eleniak’s visit.
Academy raid by Chimera monsters.
Here, not only the survival and defection of the former Mage Tower owner, but also the demons are intertwined.
Not just the empire, but all the countries on the continent inevitably involved.
Of course, there were also doubts.
‘Elleniak didn’t directly step forward even when the demons invaded. But how long has it been since the incident happened, and it flew all the way here with the main body? Something is wrong. There must have been some trigger in the meantime, or there must have been another purpose.’
Natalie’s guess was quite sharp.
Other purpose.
As soon as Eleniac heard the number of cases that could come to the empire, he immediately prepared and flew.
One reason, of course.
‘Fine… Are you okay? The timing of my collapse was like smoke, but just in case…’
“Hey Green Dragon.”
“…”
“Why did it appear in the system?”
The dragon looked at him with a frown at the voice that broke his thoughts.
A middle-aged emperor who was much older than he had seen in the back of his memory.
Eleniak snorted at him, suppressing his irritation.
“Huh. I should have contacted you. If the demons are in a hurry, it’s the dragon, the guardian of the middle world, to step out.”
“Her…”
The Emperor was genuinely absurd.
Wasn’t she the one who avoided battles with demons and shut herself up in the United Republic to claim herself as the guardian of Middle Earth? She further says that she has been in touch, but he has not heard anything.
At that time, the head of the imperial family approached him with an urgent expression and whispered to him. No matter how small it was, it would be heard by the other two present here, the dragon and the general, but it was impossible to say it out loud.
“Hey, I got a call from the United Republic about 10 minutes ago.”
“… Ha. The content must be obvious.”
“I’m sorry. I was sorting out the report from below…”
“It’s okay. You never thought it would come sooner than the report.”
Even the picky emperor had to forgive this.
Even if it is a contact from a foreign country, there are basically not one or two things to check, including authenticity.
How could he have predicted that the head of a country that sent troops to the border would come alone to the capital of a potential enemy country in less than 10 minutes? This was something he could not have expected even from the Imperial Intelligence Service, and it was inevitable that the report was late.
‘It’s absurd.’
What the hell is a dragon doing?
No matter how ignorant he is of human etiquette, he must have had a background as president of the United Republic’s Senate.
The Emperor’s thoughts were both right and wrong.
It is true that her not-so-short experience instilled in Eleniac her basic common sense and courtesy, but there were only three things that mattered to her. Herself, her daughter, and her baby daddy Valdes.
After Valdez left, the green dragon wondered when they would be able to meet him again.
It didn’t take long by human standards, but he hesitated every time for fear of being scolded for visiting, and then flew straight to the main body as soon as he found a legitimate opportunity. But I saw Valdés collapse.
I couldn’t help but worry, even though I knew he wasn’t someone who could be hurt by someone.
“It’s the demon race. Hmm. Dragon, do you believe that the demon race is certain?”
“What do you mean?”
“It means that we don’t know if the devil’s trick is correct yet.”
“Hmm.”
Eleniak quickly realized why the emperor was saying this.
‘It must mean that he doesn’t want to be interfered with from the outside.’
If this incident is not just Robert’s rebellion, but a full-scale operation by the demons.
As an empire, it becomes very demanding and cumbersome.
In addition to the United Republic that came to us directly, it gives the Holy Kingdom of Simon, the Goddess Church, and other foreign countries an opportunity to interfere. It was not another territory, but the system that was the center of Dezac.
As an emperor, nothing could be more irritating and infuriating.
“That’s nonsense.”
“…What?”
“So you’re saying that the old wizard who pretended to be dead worked alone?”
“…”
“The one who tried to disguise himself as dead and hide? It’s ridiculous. How could he do such a thing with just a few chimeras? This would be impossible unless there was a demonic background behind him. Honestly, isn’t it?”
“…Huh. It’s a pity, but I want to say that it’s not.”
The emperor smirked and laughed so much that even the general furrowed his brow.
It is because he is very happy to be able to refute the words of the green dragon who confidently came and spoke.
“A report on the Chimera monsters and the cavities they hide in.”
Widely.
Eleniak received the bundle of papers thrown by the emperor and quickly skimmed through the contents.
“Um…”
I spoke too soon.
Certainly, if the contents of this document are correct, this is not an accident caused by hungry chimeras. It was very painful to pay the price of hastily visiting Valdez and making fun of him.
“I hope you don’t say that you don’t believe it because it’s a self-investigation. The subjugation is already over, so all that’s left are reports and corpses.”
“…Right.”
The green dragon nodded obediently.
Mistakes are inevitable.
But it wasn’t just what she had just prepared.
“That part is fortunate. The continent is not ready yet.”
“That’s right. If the demons were really in full swing, they would have asked for help from each country, haha.”
“That’s right. That’s right. So, you don’t need to be prepared, Emperor Dezac.”
“…!!”
The Emperor’s face contorted, and Eleniac laughed.
“I guess I’ve come here as well. Wouldn’t it be nice to send a call to each country and prepare for the fight against the demons by all countries joining forces from now on?”
If the opponent wasn’t the dragon, he would have yelled and hit the armrest of the chair.
That’s how much anger was brewing.
There was nothing he could do right now.
Idiot.
This was the best card on the current continent that no country could easily refuse.
The incident that happened this time here is not good.
It is also possible that strange suspicions will be covered up if you just refuse.
In the end, the emperor had no choice but to grit his teeth and accept it.
“Okay, cow… Work for the continent. Jim is also willing… To accept.”
Haha. Cancer. It’s for the continent.”
She didn’t care about her continent at all, but she had no good reason to refuse. If we had successfully occupied even half of the three-pronged alliance, it would be right to refrain right now.
The dragon who successfully made a justification smiled brightly.
You don’t even know how bad the woman next to you is thinking.
‘I’m very lucky. Opportunities like this are pouring in instead of war.’
General Escalor was genuinely amused.
A fateful encounter.
Although it seems weak now, its potential is by no means light.
Isn’t it the man who took his power off but blocked his surprise attack?
This alone is enjoyable enough, but a dragon has appeared, and it seems that it will stay in the system for quite a long time.
And from now on, important people from all over the world are scheduled to visit.
Among them, there must be strong ones who will surely make your heart pound.
‘Ah, that’s good. Very good… ♡’
Maddened by her battle, she also smiled brightly.
The Emperor’s drawing room.
There, only the emperor was unable to smile.
