117 – Difficult
Pelen headed in front of Arfem without tucking her baggy left sleeve.
Arphem sat on the old wooden chair where the Demon King sat and looked at Pelen approaching indifferently.
But Arfem’s gaze was fixed on Felen’s flapping left sleeve.
Pelen knelt down in front of Arpem.
“sorry. Arphem.”
Arfem looked down at Pelen without saying a word.
Felen, unlike other members of the family, has always been dignified and noble.
Pelen knew very well how to obey her superiors, but not look sublime.
Not because he was born aristocrats, but because Phelen was originally an arrogant and arrogant being who was not born to be tamed or obeyed, but to rule.
“Are you distracted?”
“no. I was careful.”
“Did Somnium make a mistake?”
“I do not know.”
“Then what do you think is the cause of failure?”
“The imperial response was strangely quick and accurate.”
It was also a matter of how they found the location of Somnium, but it was so strange that the Empire had sent Tigris.
How can we understand the individual Bastian movement?
It’s Bastian’s job to keep the Imperial University safe.
But Tigris is different.
Tigris is just an instructor.
Even after hearing that the students had been brainwashed, there is no reason for Tigris to come forward.
It was not common sense, no matter how much I thought about it, that I was not a student who had a close relationship with Tigris, and went directly to unravel the mental indoctrination of young wizards who scratched Tigris’ temper.
“And right now, we are treating patients with Nightmare very quickly. As a result, it is said that the nightmares are being drained with water containing a lot of sugar. We can’t act this quickly unless we know Nightmare’s weaknesses.”
Phelen’s words were credible.
Until now, I thought that killing only Tigris would solve everything, but after experiencing this, I could feel that the Empire itself was something strange.
The Empire established diplomatic ties with the jungle and sent an ambassador to the Godiva Kingdom, where they almost cut ties, and rejected the Gilion Kingdom and Luxism.
Tigris couldn’t have done all this alone.
“So what do you think?”
“I don’t think it’s absolutely right to kill or touch Tigris right now. Now Tigris is like hot steel, and if we touch it, we will get hurt.”
“It means you have to spend enough time watching. Can’t we just send him to Oslo?”
“Yes. That’s right. If Oslo meets Tigris now, he may die before learning Tigris’ swordsmanship.”
“Is the level gap that big?”
“He is a slasher who cannot be healed even with holy water. Oslo will grow in the Kingdom of Gillion for the time being.”
Arfem got up and approached Felen.
As Arfem approached, Phelen bowed her head even more and looked at Arfem’s toes.
“Get up.”
Pelen stood up politely.
Arfem reached out towards her baggy sleeves.
When Arfem’s long claws touched Pelen’s sleeves, they were cut like a piece of paper.
“It doesn’t seem to play.”
“Yes. That’s right.”
Arfem reached out toward his left arm and pulled out his left arm.
Fresh blood splattered and wet the floor, but Arphem did not raise an eyebrow.
Arfem brought the pulled left arm to Pelen’s cross section.
wriggle- wriggle-
Arfem’s left arm began to penetrate Pelen’s body.
But after a while, Arfem’s left arm fell off.
Arpem looked at the left arm that had fallen off and opened her mouth.
“It’s really amazing. If it was just cut off, it would have to stick. Do you have any stomachache?”
“Not at all. I don’t know if this expression is correct, but it felt like the soul itself had been cut off from the left arm.”
“The soul cannot be cut off or destroyed. But I think I know what you mean.”
“Is there any way to get my left arm back?”
Arfem shook her head.
“none. You have lost the very concept of using your left arm. You probably don’t even remember how you moved your left arm, right?”
“To be precise, I don’t have the confidence to move my left arm. You won’t be able to move your left arm even in your dreams.”
“It would be dangerous for me too.”
What if Tigris cuts his throat?
Arfem will never be able to resurrect.
This is also true of other subordinates.
Oslo doesn’t have a soul, but only transfers memories, so it can compete with Tigris, but can Oslo be able to handle Tigris, who has reached this level?
It would be absolutely impossible.
“As you said, it would be better not to touch Tigris or approach him.”
“I have a trick, can I tell you?”
“Tell me.”
“If you can’t touch Tigris, why not tie it up so that Tigris can’t move around?”
Arphem immediately recognized Phelen’s plan.
“By the way, Tigris was the successor to the Norbert Marquess.”
“If we just kill Beowulf and tie Tigris to Norberd, wouldn’t it be difficult to pay attention to what is going on in the Empire?”
“But once you become a Norbert Marquee, you get a powerful military force. Even a lot of wandering knights and mercenaries have recently moved to Norberd, haven’t they?”
“If Norverd is barely breathing, it will not be easy for Tigris to get involved in the affairs of the Empire.”
Arfem looked into Felen’s eyes and said.
“Is it possible?”
“You can’t do it alone. And it takes a lot of time.”
“How much support do you need?”
“I will say it again after analyzing Norberd in detail. From what I’ve experienced, I think you need to take the time and approach it carefully. We need to know how much the Empire knows about us.”
Arfem nodded her head.
“Give me any time. I’m in no rush.”
At Arphem’s words, Felen’s eyebrows twitched.
Arpem laughed at the intense emotion she saw for the first time.
“By the way, how much time do you have left?”
“·······9 years 3 months 18 days 16 hours 31 minutes.”
“Can you finish it in there?”
Felen nodded.
“It is possible as long as you provide support.”
“If you need Rota’s help, let me know. He lost his somnium and is insane.”
Felen bowed her head.
“Then I’m busy, so I’ll go first.”
“I know.”
Felen disappeared by teleporting.
Arphem muttered as she looked at the empty seat of Felen, who had disappeared.
“I should consider skipping over a century of this.”
* * *
The Empire was buzzing with a total of two issues.
One was the news of the marriage between Tigris and Princess Rain Rover.
[Princess Rain Rover, planning to marry Tigris.]
[The engagement ceremony of Princess Rain Rover will be held this fall.]
[A matter agreed upon by both the imperial family and the Norbert family.]
The other was that Tigris appeared in front of the citizens of Gray Town and delivered the Emperor’s teachings directly.
[Emperor Todd, through Sir Tigris, promises to the citizens of Gray Town.]
[His Majesty Todd delivers carrots and a whip at the same time.]
[Criminals who confuse the empire and provide jobs through large-scale civil engineering projects will be severely punished.]
[The tombs of giants were found in the Suin Autonomous Region…]
[Delivered to Sir Tigris to condemn various violent crimes, including drug distribution.]
The ‘Grey Rat’ quickly disbanded as the world revealed that some of the citizens of Gray Town had been brainwashed by a mysterious organization, and the zodiac was once again at peace.
However, the penthouse of Tigris was met with chaos.
“Oh my God, am I dreaming?”
When Princess Rain Rover visited Tigris’ penthouse, where he was sweating from training all day, the penthouse family immediately froze.
“Nice to meet you. See you in the future.”
Nemesis said, looking at Tigris and Rain Rover alternately to see if it was ridiculous.
“No, wait a minute. You say the princess lives here with you?”
“yes.”
“why?”
“I just want to do that. Are you feeling uncomfortable?”
Everyone, including Charlotte, shook their heads at Rain Rover’s words.
“no. It is not uncomfortable.”
Rain Rover said with a fresh smile.
“Then that’s it.”
Indeed, Rain Rover’s decision to live in a penthouse in Tigris meant nothing.
The day Tigris confessed, I talked a lot with Tigris, so I heard that there was only one empty room left in the penthouse, and I only heard that the room was right next door to Tigris.
There was also the thought that it would be fun to live in Tigris’ penthouse away from the imperial palace.
Charlotte opened her mouth.
“I heard the news yesterday, but I never dreamed that His Majesty the Emperor would grant it.”
“You were also considering having Lord Tigris live in the Imperial Palace, but he said that it would not be bad to experience it in advance because you will have to live with Lord Tigris instead of in the Imperial Palace within the next year.”
“Oh, I see.”
At that moment, Sora raised her hand.
Trisha looked at Sora with a very anxious expression.
I was worried that I might say something strange like the last time.
“Can I ask you a question, Princess?”
Rain Rover laughed and said, wondering if it was fun for Sora to raise her tail, ears and hands at the same time.
“yes. Please feel free to speak. Sora.”
“How did Lord Tigris propose to you?”
Everyone’s ears perked up at Sora’s question.
Others were curious too.
It’s strange that a person like Tigris, who is like Mokseok, married a princess, but I couldn’t believe that he even confessed to me first.
Rain Rover laughed at Sora’s amusing question, and Tigris drank tea as if nothing had happened.
“Ummm~ Was it when a butterfly flew into my teacup with the wind and sat down? Then Tigris got down on one knee and confessed to me with a wolf sword.”
“Oh oh! What did you propose?”
Rain Rover looked at Tigris’ expression.
Tigris’ expression looked calm, but Rain Rover knew it.
Tigris was a little shy.
The expression on his face was so lovely that he wanted to hug him, but the Rain Rover could barely stand it.
“It’s a secret.”
Of course, the content of Tigris’ confession was not to be known to the people here.
Because Tigris’ confession phrase contained the content of the return.
Sora looked at the princess with a tired expression.
“······It seems that the person who will become Tigris-sama’s wife is right.”
“Why?”
“Because Tigris-sama has a lot of secrets just like Princess Rain Rover.”
The princess said with a soft smile.
“Some of the knowledge we both know is too early for you to accept. But one day I will definitely be able to tell you. And the truth will be known to you before anyone else.”
Charlotte, Irene, Trisha, Linia, Nemesis and Sora.
Everyone gathered here is the hope of the continent.
Charlotte, Irene, and Trisha are the Sword Masters that Tigris professed.
Linia also said that Tigris was starting to show talent, so for the first time in the history of the continent, there might be a family with two sword masters at the same time.
Nemesis and Sora were preliminary instructors to teach the beasts who would rise to Trinity, and were the next leaders of the fox and cat races.
The day will soon come when we will discover the truth hidden in this world because each of them is a talented person who has to do great things that ordinary people cannot do.
“Ah, Sir Tigris, can I talk to you separately now? I have a message that your Majesty the Emperor has told you to convey.”
Tigris nodded at Rain Rover’s words.
“Let’s go to the library.”
* * *
Rain Rover opened his mouth as he looked at Tigris’ study.
“Wow, there are so many different kinds of books. There are even recently published books, have you read a lot in the past?”
“In the past, I was not very good at reading books. At best, it was all about a swordsmanship book.”
Tigris started reading books in earnest right after returning.
Because Tigris knew through regression that he lacked knowledge other than the sword, he read several books that were helpful in real life.
“What have you been reading lately?”
“This is a book about astrology given by Elder Teho. I’m also reading the water mermaid to study.”
“Then, can you predict the future by looking at the stars?”
Tigris shook his head.
“Unfortunately, he doesn’t seem to have any talent for astrology. The concept is roughly understood, but it seems impossible to read the operation of the sky.”
“Sir Tigris didn’t use spirit magic quite well, didn’t he? So I thought he had a talent for magic.”
“Similarly, spirit magic only understands the concept, but cannot cast spirits or make amulets like the spirit magicians.”
“But you made a demon slash. Wasn’t that possible because you had a talent for magic?”
“To be precise, the concept of ‘cut off and cut off’ exists in the exorcism itself, so I was able to understand it. The key to exorcism is to cut off the evil deeds and karma possessed by evil spirits. So we were able to create a demon slash.”
“So, the concept of cutting and slicing and swordsmanship had something in common, so you were able to create evil spirit slash? Am I understanding correctly?”
“yes. That’s right.”
Rain Rover sat on the sofa.
“Well, if Lord Tigris had a talent for shamanism, then Masarai’s Bone Needle would have had a shamanic pattern on it. Rather, Lord Tigris, who brought a field that had little to do with swordsmanship into the realm of swordsmanship, would be great.”
“By the way, what did your Majesty’s Majesty tell you to convey?”
“Ah, I didn’t mean to tell you this, but it got long.”
Rain Rover pulled out a book from his subspace pocket.
It was a swordsmanship book called ‘Crimson Punishment’.
“Isn’t that the swordsmanship of the Pines family that went extinct 400 years ago?”
“You know right away. Do you know this swordsmanship?”
“I know there is such a sword, but I can’t use it.”
“Then can you read this book of swords and resurrect this ‘nemesis’?”
Tigris thought for a moment and then opened his mouth.
“It will depend on how accurate and detailed what was written on the sword, but it is probably possible. Is there any special reason for me to learn that swordsmanship?”
“no. That’s not it. But it might be necessary for the students going to Trinity.”
Tigris knew what Rain Rover was trying to say.
“If you teach swordsmanship that suits the talents of each student, you will be able to grow quickly.”
“yes. Right. And you promised to give Trinity students access to the various technical books in the Imperial Palace library, right? However, it is also true that there are skills that need to be sealed forever among those descriptions. I hope Lord Tigris will read all of those descriptions and distinguish between those that are acceptable to Trinity students and those that need to be sealed or destroyed.”
“Yes. All right.”
Tigris readily accepted.
It was not bad to be able to teach Trinity students various swordsmanship and Auror operation techniques, but it was fun to be able to glimpse the descriptions of the families that have already disappeared into history.
“Then can we go to the Imperial Palace from tomorrow?”
“Are you that good?”
Tigris quickly caught the change in Rain Rover’s emotions.
He was clearly smiling, but it seemed to be mixed with a handful of unexplained complaints.
“You don’t know what Sir Tigris’s expression is right now, don’t you? It’s like, ‘I’m so excited right now!’”
Tigris focused on analyzing the cause of Rain Rover’s emotional change.
What the hell are you complaining about?
At that moment, a very small voice flowed into Tigris’ ear.
-‘It’s nice to be able to read a book in the library alone with Princess Rain Rover.’ Answer me. hurry.
Tigris thought for a moment and opened his mouth.
“It’s nice to be able to read a book with Princess Rain Rover in the Imperial Palace library.”
At Tigris’ answer, Rain Rover widened his eyes as if slightly startled.
“really?”
Were you surprised that Tigris knew how to make such a slap in the mouth?
Whatever the case, the dissatisfaction hidden in Rain Rover’s smile was gone.
“greatness! You don’t have to go to the Imperial Palace to read a book. Just contact us and the Golden Knights will bring you here.”
Rain Rover got up, handed Tigris a ‘nemesis’.
“I’ll bring you the book I was reading in that room. We read a book together until we go to bed today.”
Rain Rover smiled and left the study, and Tigris let out a small sigh.
Then he looked up at the ceiling and said.
“Jane. Who told you to steal?”

Jane appeared from the ceiling, grinning.“sorry. just look at this I’m really curious about what they’re going to talk about.”
“Do not enter the study or my room in the future.”
“okay. But you know that if it wasn’t for me, you’d be in real trouble, right?”
“… Princess Rain Rover doesn’t get angry over trivial things like this.”
“But it will scratch a bit. Now we are in a relationship.”
“·················ogue.”

Jane said with a smirk.“If you need dating counseling, just tell me. I’ll give you some tips. A woman’s heart is what she knows best.”

Jane disappeared into the ceiling.When Jane disappeared, Tigris opened ‘The Punishment’ and read the book.
But the letters didn’t catch my eye.
“… it’s difficult.”
