Academy’s Weapon Replicator chapter 379

Chapter 110: Farewell (4)

As promised, Frondier returned to the imperial palace within 24 hours.

As soon as some of the Zodiacs saw him, they became angry and started a fuss, but Ludovic and Empress Fili stopped them.

Most of the Zodiacs, including Ludovic, had scars on their faces and bodies.

It turned out that there was an argument that Frontier had been secretly taken out of prison. In fact, it was impossible not to get caught due to the structure of sequential surveillance of Frontier.

Frondier was again placed in a restraint, and this time, the Zodiacs, excluding Ludovic, were under surveillance.

Of course, there were some who were friendly to him, such as Ospreet, Ridwi, and Monty.

During his boring time in prison, Frondier was able to pass the time by talking to them.

And then a few days passed, the day before the deportation date.

‘hmm?’

Frondier felt that the outside of the prison had become a little noisy. Although the sound was not loud, the flow of mana that I felt with my sixth sense was shaking back and forth.

I wondered if the next Zodiac was coming, but what appeared in front of the prison was a completely different person.

“Frondier.”

“… … your majesty!”

Frondier looked at Bartello’s face and lowered his head.

There was no one near Bartello. Even the Zodiac, which was originally in charge of surveillance. Bartello probably sent them all out.

“Raise your head.”

The face lifted again according to Bartello’s words. That made Bartello horrified.

Frontier leaves the Empire. He was calm and collected, as if it was his choice. Rather, it seemed refreshing.

After looking at that face for a moment, Bartello let out a deep sigh.

“You showed your ugly face.”

“It’s not like that.”

Bartello was being threatened by Odin, who had possessed Saleh.

Even if Odin were in the form of Saleh, it would be nearly impossible to deceive Bartello. I have eyes that saw the curse of sloth as soon as I saw Frondier as a newborn.

Odin decided that violent methods would be more effective against Bartello, and his idea was correct.

We don’t know exactly what the threat was, but it’s not hard to guess. Even with Saleh’s life on the scale, it would be difficult for Bartello to stand up to God.

But at the same time, Bartello comes to an idea.

‘Odin saw Frondier as an enemy and took action. I didn’t know he would move so openly. Does this mean that the current Frontier is a threat to God?’

While the empire was in turmoil, Bartello was clearer than anyone else at the time.

Now that we know that Odin is behind it, all of Frontier’s public opinion surrounding the empire is nothing but nonsense.

Frontier led the war against Mangot to victory. Although he did not know why Odin was targeting Frondier, Bartello clearly knew who the hero who saved the empire was.

At this moment, the emperor of the empire was determined to oppose God.

Bartello was following Odin’s words, but what he was aiming for was different.

‘The worst thing that can happen is that Frontier dies.’

Bartello assumed the worst would be Frondier’s death. Even more than the empire splitting up and fighting. Odin even contemplates killing Frondier if possible. That just has to be stopped.

There is only one way.

“It was my decision to send Robert to Obsidian. To be precise, Odin led him to give such an order.”

“By having Robert and Hagley meet, you made me and my allies realize that the imperial palace was involved.”

“okay. It doesn’t matter whether it’s Atzie or Esther, the prison warden, or whoever it is. “It was the only way to point the target in this direction, in favor of Odin’s plan.”

Of course, Bartello at this time had no idea that Frondier would step in to replace Azier.

I didn’t know that Hagley had the means to break Ajie mentally. In the first place, I never thought that Ajie would have such a concept as ‘shaking’.

In a situation where they are under Odin’s watch, it is not likely that Atzie or Esther will realize that the culprit is in the imperial palace. But Bartello had no choice but to look forward to it.

“It was a good thing in the end. “Because you, and no one else, noticed it.”

“If you hadn’t noticed, what would have happened?”

“It goes without saying. All-out war between the Zodiacs. Furthermore, it was the division of the empire. It would have been better to tie your hands and feet before restraining Leah Reese. You have many people to protect. “Just like I tried to save Lia Reese this time, I would have moved if someone else was in danger.”

“It certainly is.”

Imprisoning Leah Rhys was Odin’s final insurance policy in case Fili discovered that Robert was an enemy.

As a result, it was confirmed that Frontier would be expelled from the empire, but in other words, it stopped there.

“Frondier. Please forgive me. “You must leave the empire.”

“What do I forgive? His Majesty has given us unprecedented consideration. “I’m just so sorry.”

Frontier and Bartello had the same goal, at least when it came to preventing the division of the empire.

Bartello looked at him and said.

“… … I have nothing but apology and gratitude for you. If you have any last favor to ask, please let me know. “I will try my best.”

It is the power of the emperor and no one else. You can do anything you can in this empire.

Frontier said:

“There are two things.”

“something?”

“One, after you banish me, please send me to Mangot. “I want to check out the ancient language there.”

“… … “Can you read ancient languages?”

“I’m sorry, but that’s true.”

Bartello’s eyes widened.

We have already received a report related to that. It was from his older brother, Ajie. It was said that there was a possibility that Frontier could interpret ancient languages, so they wanted confirmation.

“Did you see this far after meeting Hagley?”

“It was just my wish that it would happen if possible.”

hahahaha. Bartello let out a laugh. It’s been a long time since I’ve admired him this much.

“I understand. It’s not difficult at all. “Then what is the second?”

Frontier leaves the Empire. He himself is thinking of leaving this continent, and Mangot is the western coast. This is a reasonable position to send him to.

Frondier bowed his head in gratitude and then spoke.

“… … second is,”

* * *

“… … “Are you sure Frontier really wanted it?”

“exactly.”

Fili asked, and Bartello answered with mixed feelings.

When the day of expulsion arrived, Frondier and Lili were held captive in the center of the city square of the capital, Cilester.

Countless citizens of the empire were gathered outside where the soldiers were encamped.

Date and place of judgment of Frontier. All of this has already been announced by the empire.

─Please carry out my expulsion in a public place. We must make sure that everyone in the Empire knows that the devil called Frontier has left.

If they are criminals who originally plotted treason against the empire, they are publicly executed to raise awareness among citizens.

However, Frontier’s case was such an exception that Bartello and Philina had originally intended to secretly send him out of the empire.

“He is a traitor to the Empire who cares so much about it.”

Fili said with sunken eyes.

Will there be another talent like that in the empire in the future?

Will Philly ever meet someone like that while he’s still alive?

Even if we meet, will we be able to clear the fog that her doubts obscure and see?

While Fili’s mind is filled with worries and regrets, some of the Zodiacs sitting nearby are still burning to survive.

“What kind of deportation is this? “You must die here.”

From Noble mtl dot com

One of them growled. Some of the Zodiacs around seemed to agree.

“If you can, try it.”

Ludovic answered him.

“Do you think I can’t do it?”

“I can’t. “Your head will be rolling around without Frondier even having to move a finger.”

Ludovic’s statement. Before the enraged Zodiac could say anything, he cast his gaze across the room.

“Look over there.”

“… … ?”

“Roachda.”

Opposite where the imperial palace sits, that is, behind the frontier.

Ampere, Adgier, and Malia were sitting there.

“Consider it fortunate that they just stay still like that.”

“Ugh… … .”

And Roach is not the only one here.

Among the Zodiac, there are Frondier’s allies, of course including Ospreet.

Even though Constell’s members are students, there are some who believe in Zodiac’s power, and of course they attended this event.

“Can’t you feel the tension that fills this place right now?”

You can’t see it here now, but a confrontation of enormous power surrounds you from all directions.

If someone did something foolish, there would be no trace left in this momentum.

“Know that the imperial palace is not on its side.”

Zodiac only silences Ludovic’s words.

However, the momentum still does not cool down. A situation where all sorts of conflicts against Frontier are likely to explode right now.

In this thin ice-like battlefield.

‘… … ‘What should I do?’

Elodie de Inies Richae. She is still thinking.

‘I don’t need to do anything.’

Elodie is not worried about Frondier.

I’m not as angry as other people at this situation.

This is because she has a thorough belief that Frontier has made his own arrangements.

Even if Elodie leaves the empire, she cannot dare to imagine that Frontier will be in danger.

On the contrary, I was even thinking that it might not be in order to worry about the future of the empire.

‘It is true that Frondier was caught up in Odin’s scheme, but quietly leaving the empire was also Frondier’s choice… … .’

If so, that choice should be respected.

There is nothing for her to do this time.

It’s not that there’s nothing to do, it’s that the whole incident has already ended before you know it.

It’s all over.

“… … Then, I will announce it.”

While Elodie continued to think, Emperor Bartello suddenly stood up.

It was rare for the emperor to personally read the verdict, but since the matter was a matter of fact and the subject was Frondier, there was no one to read the verdict on his behalf.

Elodie glanced at the emperor and nodded slightly.

‘okay. If that’s what Frontier means.’

Frondier did not ask Elodie for anything.

Perhaps Frontier is asking for this place while he is leaving the empire. Elodie clearly felt that trust.

──But.

‘huh?’

Elodie happened to see something small flying in the sky. It was a poor existence that was difficult to detect even with mana detection.

And that’s it.

‘uh.’

Frontier’s sixth sense also responded.

Frontier has already reached a certain level as a warrior. He understood the identity of flying through the air from the very beginning.

It was a rock. It was smaller than a human fist.

Please note that this stone was not flying in the air for no reason, but was thrown by someone in the crowd.

The name of the person who threw the rock was Kevin Brown. The boy is now 10 years old.

Kevin was a child who had completely learned from the people around him and his parents that Frontier was a devil.

In addition, even the terrifying tension in this space was not enough to suppress his courage. I didn’t even feel it in the first place.

Therefore, Kevin had no hesitation in bringing justice to the devil standing in the center of the square who, according to what he had heard, was dirty, mean, nasty, and deceived people.

Perhaps the sky responded to his sense of justice, as the rock Kevin threw drew a surprisingly accurate parabola and headed toward Frondier.

‘… … this.’

That’s right. The moment rocks started flying from afar, Frontier felt it. If you stay still like this, it will hit him cleanly on the forehead.

So what should we do? Should I avoid this?

‘The moment you avoid it, people’s anger will reach its peak.’

Frondier thought as he watched the flying stones. If you made any move to avoid, defend, or take any action, there was a risk that this square would explode.

This is especially true since his face and expression are already the type that easily pisses people off.

‘Let’s get it right. ‘You should be hit as if nothing happened.’

Getting hit by a rock is not a big deal. If you get hit, the side that supports Frontier will be angry this time, but it’s okay since you’ll clearly know why they don’t avoid it.

Nothing will happen. are you okay.

Frondier looked at the flying stones and didn’t even flinch.

Tuk.

It was right. Since he was wearing restraints, his body was bare and without any aura. Of course, even if there were no restraints, I wouldn’t have used Aurors.

Jureuk─

There was blood on his forehead. It seemed like it had been hit by something sharp. However, it was only a little hot and there was no pain whatsoever.

“… … .”

“… … .”

“… … .”

There was silence in the hall.

Even the emperor, who was about to read the verdict, stopped.

Rather than an imminent situation, it was more like everyone was in a kind of mild panic. Someone might do something. It might explode. There is only that vigilance, and no one is really trying to do anything.

Strange silence. At the same time, it is a noisy silence that makes people’s emotions boil.

“──Ah.”

And one voice shatters it all.

“It won’t work either.”

Jerk.

The one who spoke walked forward.

Even though she was on the stairs, her feet moved in a straight line. As if there is a floor that is just invisible to others, towards the empty space.

“I, Elodie de Inies Richae.”

The boy’s rock was very small.

It was so weak and unsightly that it could not properly hurt Frondier.

If even that action is considered the behavior of a childish child, it is an incredibly petty act.

“Because puberty has arrived.”

However, one small stone flew out of that small hand.

It changed my entire destiny moving forward.

“I’m going to run away from home.”
