Duke, Please Repent! chapter 250

46. The Duke and the Suspicious... (2)

'Is Humanus originally so bad at pretending to be so handsome... ?'

At least in [Master of the Holy Sword], this wasn't the case. In other words, this is only for Serpens.

I was able to find the cause without difficulty.

"Then the bandit leaders took a strange drug, and suddenly they got bigger.

Isn't it growing? Demon worshipers were involved. I was embarrassed, but I calmly .

The story of Humanus has at some point turned into his own saga.

You're amazing.

Serpens pretended to admire.

There is not even the slightest hint of sincerity in the lines, but making it look like sincerity is really a skill.

'Anyway, the bottom line is that the Serpence keeps teasing me, so it's more exciting than that!'

Serpense's intentions are obvious.

You must be hoping that this moment will end soon.

Because of that, I was talking roughly, but because I couldn't speak bitterly, the story became longer.

There is no other sight of a returning student who has been discharged from military service sitting down with a freshman and pouring out military sagas one after another.

Perhaps the behavior of Humanus was not like that, Furor giggled and whispered something to Liena.

After hearing the whisper, Liena only smiled softly. So what kind of conversation went on, no

I do not know.

Sitting between the two of them, Anima looked at the table blankly, with her back bent and her chin crossed.

'More than that, [Master of the Holy Sword] didn't have the development of the bandits taking drugs and powering up... ?'

What would happen if Humanus and his party were weaker than when they were [Master of the Holy Sword], so they were growing up very strong thanks to the Spartan education of the devil.

Of course, as the demons show more aggression, it cannot be viewed in a positive light.

"So that's when Liena struck a barrier ."

Wait a minute, there's one catch.

Did you finally catch the number that could close the mouth of Humanus?

Serpens raised his hand slightly and interrupted Humanus.

"What does it take?"

Listening to your majesty, it seems that you entrust all matters related to treatment and barriers to your colleagues... . Is that correct?

Yeah, that's because Liena is better than me.

Practice is .

Liena said it's good to learn a little bit, so it's a bit creepy... But first, handling the power of the Holy Sword is more important, isn't it?

It's a story we all know.

However, Serpence had a serious expression on his face, as if he had just found out.

Although the holy sword takes the form of a weapon, it is not the essence.

that is , so it's harder to control... .

Where did the person who was making the most of the flirtatious gossip went, Humanus slowly turned his head to avoid his gaze.

After he got the Holy Sword, when he recalls his appearance in the battle with Serpens, I get a rough idea of what those words mean.

'Originally, Humanus didn't even use his divine power well in any way other than attack, right?'

Shooting games, rhythm games, and puzzle games require even the same improvisation game.

As if the user's physical is all different.

Attack, heal and buff, barrier.

The three techniques differ in the way they use the divine power.

I'm still not familiar with this technique, but the Holy Sword's influence makes my divine power go wild, so I'm sure it will taste good to train.

By analogy, the difficulty of the rhythm game 'Flight of the Bumblebee' was introduced to someone who only played shooting games.

I don't know if it starts from low difficulty and gradually goes up. Or maybe if you were born with a genius sense of rhythm.

usually never do

'By the way, what you received as a reward for the first trial is an auxiliary weapon that helps control the power of the Holy Sword, isn't it?'

Then you should be able to

Have you not heard from the denomination about the Volta Mountains?

"I should have listened But wouldn't it be enough to just stop the barrier from breaking?"

"Of course, it is best not to break the barrier. However, that cannot be a fundamental solution.

If they know they can't make it, the demon worshipers will try to break it again and again.

Once you break it, the demonic spirits will pour out, and the energy inherent in the demon core will spread to all directions.

The evil forces cannot give up after only trying once or twice.

You have to show that you can recreate the barrier, and then you will stop knowing that even if you try hard, it will be in vain.

In [Master of the Holy Sword], Humanus could not recreate the barrier.

To be precise, I didn't even dare to try it.

It was not long after the empire collapsed that the mountain range burst.

Humanus was arguing with the devil in Amon. Belatedly, when they headed to the Volta Mountains, it was already like a field of demon water.

Demons and summoned demons who manage it. And it is almost impossible to strike the barrier again while facing the monsters.

No matter how successful it is, there is no one to protect it,

Stop it if you break it with

'No matter how many times I think about it, the collapse of the empire was too fatal.'

Saying that there must be a country that can take the place of the empire, what about the fact that they created a lot of corpses while fighting each other?

Of course, it is the result of fanning the evil forces from behind.

This would not have happened if the empire had not been destroyed in the first place.

I'll try first. It would be nice if I could concentrate on training for a while...

"Anything else?"

Serpens expressed his doubts at Humanus's lamentable words.

I heard a call from the Principality of Fold. Recently, there has been a mass disappearance in the Principality, and it seems to be the work of demon worshipers.

"You mean the Principality?"

The Duchy of Fold is a small country near the Lumen Empire.

Originally, it was called a kingdom and its territory was also large, but as a magic core was created within the territory, and the empire took over it for its management, the number of people in the country was greatly reduced.

The place where the magic core was formed

Without the Volta Mountains.

It is said that the Empire had no intention of taking their territory at first.

The problem is the resources of the Volta Mountains.

'It's not that the Empire was aiming for that .'

In the original Volta Mountains, the flow of magic was smooth, and it was an environment where a lot of plants needed for the manufacture of magic reagents grew.

For the same reason, magic stones were also quite buried.

The Duchy of Fold, the kingdom at the time, had quite a bit of fun with it, but overnight

It has become the cake of the picture.

I've been messing around with the barriers, wondering if I can't eat them using those resources somehow.

Deciding that they could not be entrusted with management, the Empire extended its territory to the Volta Mountains.

It was not enough for the Fold Kingdom to lose a large amount of money, and the Empire hated it and the land became smaller.

'The economy is in turmoil and the national power is inevitably weakened.'

It is attacked by other countries that have taken advantage of that gap, and it shrinks further and collapses.

rushed right before

What would be unfair to say that a warlock did a crazy thing to gather the magic that flowed across the continent and create a magic core within his own country.

It is true that he tried to make a hole in the barrier because he was blinded by the gains in front of him.

Reluctantly, the Fold Kingdom requested help from the Empire, and as a result, it became a subordinate state of the Empire and is maintained until this day.

"At first, I tried to solve it on my own, but it was not enough.

Even if I send an employee, I keep disappearing... . Did you say that the last information you received was that some kind of magical energy was detected?"

uh... .

In [Master of the Holy Sword], I had neither heard nor seen that Humanus had received such a call.

Serpens, who knew this, was in trouble and let out a sound of pain.

And you said you saw bloody jade at the auction house.

Your Majesty says that the bloody prisons are the missing persons of the Principality..., that's it...

Serpens are the missing people, full of blood.

He seemed afraid to bring up the question of whether he thought he had heard it.

He blurted out the end of his words and gave off a sad expression.

It may have been prepared slowly from a long time ago, but I think there is a possibility.

"So, are you going to go by yourself?"

so be it.

Without a moment's hesitation, Humanus answered.

On the other hand, Serpens expressed concern.

Are you worried that it might be a trap of the demon worshipers? It's okay, the current prince is a trustworthy shiram.

Prince Rusty Russe Fold.

She is the first leader to declare support for Humanus, who lost the empire in [Master of the Holy Sword].

And kept it till the end.

He did not betray the Holy Sword's party for a moment or be swayed by the demon worshipers.

'The singularity is that Hugh, who lost his fiancee

What about the fact that he had a history of getting married when he suggested Manus get married?'

It was a political objective to achieve a dream.

The longing is, of course, to put the principality back on the ranks of the kingdom.

After the collapse of the empire, he secretly claimed to be the kingdom, so the neighboring countries did not want to recognize it.

They were excluded, ignored, and ostracized at all international conferences.

Because of that, in order to secure legitimacy, she became the heir of the empire, Humanu.

It was intended to welcome Sui as a national official.

However, Humanus refused, stating that he could not marry for that reason.

'It is said that it is one's own leadership that makes the king's seat, not the recognition of the king of another country. or the support of the people. I used to say blah blah blah blah blah blah.'

Afterwards, he really fell in love with Humanus, but he did not show any regrets. It didn't even contain what was rejected.

As the head of a country, he only supported the master of the holy sword to protect the continent.

He's a trustworthy person when I think of him as a reliable backer of the Holy Swords party until the end... .

'It's kind of awkward.'

It is the principality's longing to get out of the empire, but the empire is still alive and the current emperor has no intention of liberating the principality.

Now, there is no country that ruthlessly touches the principality, which is a subordinate country of the empire.

The Duchy of Fold is the only vassal state on the continent, and its military and economic development is poor.

Empire because it was a country that was greedy and tried to endanger the continent

This is due to the repression of

'The moment the empire breaks its hands. The principality has become a herbivore freed to a carnivore cage.'

Right now, in order to prevent the demons from collecting corpses for sacrificial use, they are preventing war by imperial military demonstrations and the denial of the denomination.

What if the monkey problem is solved?

National development does not happen overnight.

For that reason, in the Principality of Fold, along with liberation, as a reward for blocking their development, 100 years

They have been asking for protection between them.

'Yeah, what . Since there are soldiers who have been secretly raised, I can't just ask them to release me, so I must have made such a request... .'

In addition, the existence of the military is only revealed after the fall of the empire.

In [Master of the Holy Sword] it was said that it was a means to protect the people of the country from evil spirits, but right?

Since the empire was destroyed, no one pointed it out. No one is naive to think that's all there is to it.

Even Humanus knew it and passed it on.

Because the empire collapsed, it became just as it was said.

Yeah. I think so too. But can't you trust everyone under him who isn't the Prince? Even in the Empire, there were people who had their hands on them.

Serpens said so, but King Gong is also suspicious, so he can bet the dessert he will eat tomorrow.
