Going Into the Game With an Instant Death Skill chapter 132

“I just did what I had to do.”

The hero looked at me with a slightly new look and said,

“If you collide with the same monarch, you are also under a lot of pressure.”

“I have nothing to worry about. More about the successor, has there been any progress?”

I switched the topic to the heir.

I asked the question without expecting much, but the hero asked if he wanted to steam, and he gave an unexpected answer.

“Caranne made up her mind. To get out of the mountains.”

“·······What? You succeeded in persuasion?”

“I don’t know if I should say that I succeeded in persuasion. It’s just that she suddenly changed her mind.”

I was shocked and could not speak for a while.

If he succeeded in persuading his successor, the first big hurdle was over.

“How about her father?”

“It didn’t look negative. He said he’d let her do what she wants.”

“Well······.”

I asked after being silent for a while.

“So, then, are you really going to do the same as I said last time? You’re going to be admitted to the academy.”

“I’ve already told her that, but…”

The warrior muttered his words and nodded his head.

“I guess I should. I’ve been thinking about it while you’re away, but nothing else comes to mind.”

I sighed a little. I was wondering if this was really true.

“However, if you are admitted to the academy, you will need to keep an eye on her nearby.”

“That’s right. You can’t let go of your hand after you’ve been admitted to school.”

“I’ve been thinking about him too.”

“what?”

“I will either be admitted as a student with her, or I will become a member of the academy on the part of the teaching staff. Then I will be able to watch it from nearby without any problems.”

“What? That’s possible… Ah.”

I realized while talking.

If it’s the polymorph ability of the Holy Sword, there shouldn’t be any difficulty in doing what you just said.

‘······uh? Wait a minute.’

A thought suddenly popped into my mind.

I pondered for a moment and then asked the hero.

“Is the Holy Sword’s polymorph ability possible for others?”

“It is possible. Why would you do that?”

The hero looked at me with a puzzled expression.

······ Come to think of it, this might be a good opportunity.

I quickly put my thoughts together and said to the hero.

“If you’re going to admit your successor to the academy, how about I join you as the guardian?”

Succession of the Holy Sword. Four conditions for him.

death of a loved one. betrayal. human ugliness. skepticism about justice.

A hero is a human being who cannot forcefully push his heir to satisfy that condition, and will never allow it. That’s what she said herself.

In a nutshell, if I left the succession issue to the hero… frankly, I couldn’t expect that there would be progress.

But I am different.

Knowing the future that will happen in the future better than anyone, I was planning to somehow succeed in the succession of the Holy Sword.

Of course, I can’t do anything without any means or methods for the sole purpose of achieving my goals.

However, if necessary, he had the intention to construct an artificial situation to some extent.

‘For example, after getting close to the heir as much as possible, deliberately pretending to die.’

That much can be done for the succession of the Holy Sword.

No, if you can’t even do that, you should just give up on succession.

When I thought about it that far, I decided that the academy was a suitable stage in many ways.

What if I enter the academy with my successor?

I can take the initiative in the situation while blocking the hero’s vision and interference.

It will be much easier and more natural to approach the Heir as a friend.

“You instead of me? Why…?”

I answered the warrior who raised my doubts.

“Because you can’t afford to be like that. You have to find the seeds of the devil, check the horses, and solve the problems that occurred while you were hiding, and there will be a lot of things to do. Isn’t it?”

“············”.

“No matter how important the succession issue is, it’s impossible to let go of all of them.”

She didn’t deny it.

He said only with a faint drool.

“But it’s impossible to leave everything to you irresponsibly. As a monarch, you must also have a lot of work to do.”

I shook my head.

“You think so, but the reality is different. What I have left is time. Even if I am away, the monarchy will take care of itself, and unless it is the overlord’s order, I have no specific responsibilities to handle.”

As I said it, something felt very pathetic, but it was all true.

The hero looked at me with some vague eyes.

“······is it?”

“Yes. So, why don’t you leave the heir to me? Either you or I have to take charge of it anyway. I can’t talk to anyone about the succession of the holy sword.”

The warrior could not easily answer him.

I guessed her heart and continued.

“Even though it’s a partnership, we haven’t built enough trust between us yet.”

“It’s not like that. Seven Lords, I don’t doubt you. It’s just….”

“No, I understand your feelings. So I will make an oath here.”

I made eye contact with the hero and said.

“I will always put the safety of the heirs first. I will do my best to succeed the holy sword, but I have no intention of tampering with and trampling on the will and character of the heir for him.”

The hero sighed and answered with a complicated expression.

“Again, I don’t doubt you any more. So for now…

“Will you follow my suggestion?”

“Yeah. Once the admission is decided, I will follow your will. Let’s talk about the details then.”

OK, I have successfully persuaded you.

I nodded and asked.

“By the way, if you get admission, how do you plan to do it? Is there a way?”

I didn’t know much about that.

It was because I had never looked at the settings in detail because there was very little to say about Elphon Academy in the game. What kind of entrance exam do I have to take?

The warrior answered.

“I have an acquaintance at the academy. If you ask them, there will probably be no problems with admission.”

“I see. Are you a high-ranking person?”

“He is the principal of the academy.”

Principal?

It was also unexpected, so I wondered what the connection was.

As if the hero noticed my puzzled look, he continued speaking with a slightly bitter face.

“He was a friend who lived life and death together in the war with the demons. Now he is retired and is working hard to nurture talent.”

ready (1)

I decided to leave again right away from the mountains.

Because there was no reason for me to stay here in the yard where the plan was made.

I was thinking of going back to the monarchy to learn a little bit about the academy, and make necessary preparations.

The hero said that he intends to stay here for a while and take his heir away at an appropriate time.

At that time, I was supposed to receive the news immediately, but I asked because I thought this part was difficult.

“It’s not possible to send and receive information about the Holy Sword to Jeonseo-gu in a dangerous way. How about setting a meeting place?”

In this fantasy world, there was practically no means of instantaneous long-distance communication.

For the long-distance interaction of magic, each magic stone had to be melted with the same type of magic power. Like the teleport magic circle for the Chief of Staff in the basement of Overlord Castle.

However, the magic stone was terribly rare, and it required an exorbitant amount of magic to be able to communicate at any distance. In the first place, such ultra-long-range magic could only be used by wizards who were gifted with those qualities.

As far as I know, there was no means of long-distance communication even with the Holy Sword’s abilities.

It would be cumbersome for a hero to come to the monarchy with his heir.

So it would be easier to just find it from my side.

“Oh, there is a way.”

But the hero suddenly pulled something out of the subspace and handed it to me.

It was an old roll of rolled paper. When I opened it, it was a blank piece of paper with nothing written on it.

“What is this?”

“An ancient magic tool with a communication function.”

After saying that, the hero took out another one that looked the same, held it in his hand and spread it out.

“As you can see, if you manipulate magic and write letters on this paper…”

When the hero put magic power into his finger and wrote on the paper, the same letter appeared on the paper he handed me.

“No matter how far away you are, other papers are also engraved with text. Let’s use this to keep in touch.”

“Hey hoo….”

I was curious and looked at the paper. There really are all kinds of magic tools.

“Then I’ll wait for you to contact me.”

Anyway, after talking like that, I said a light farewell to the hero and got on the back of the dragon.

He was going to meet her again soon.

***

Returning to the monarchy, I looked for information about the Elphon Academy.

The general admission method, class method, school rules, personal information of key figures, etc.

I also found out about the principal the hero was talking about.

As she said, he was a wizard who played a major role in the Demon War, and he was also famous as a close friend of the hero.

After retiring with a serious injury in the last battle with the Demon King, he is now walking the path of an educator.

I was confident that I knew all the leading actors in this world, but looking at this, there were also many things I didn’t know.

As I looked further, I discovered an unexpected fact, which was that Calderic also had the authority to recommend admission.

Each monarch is given a letter of recommendation every year, and it was possible to recommend talent and send it to the Elphon Academy.

Thinking about why there is such a frivolous authority, I thought that the two countries were apparently allies on the surface, so it was like a show-off system.

And in fact, it is said that there are monarchs who use this authority well.

Unlike other monarchs, the 2nd monarch Nouhu’s family seems to be working hard to establish a position on the side of Seintea by sending family members to the academy at regular intervals.

“············”.

And when I found out about it, a thought suddenly came to my mind.

‘Legon.’

It was about Lygon.

Rigon is a genius that is no less than his successor, and he is roughly his age.

If so, what if you become friends with the successor?

What I needed right now was as many variables as possible. Not in the bad sense, but in the good sense.

In order for the successor to meet the conditions for the succession of the Holy Sword, a lot of experience and a lot of interaction were needed.

It’s not something I can control, so it’s good to attach someone to the heir first.

Even if Lygon did not contribute to the succession, there was nothing wrong with just being an heir and an ally.

‘·······Do you want Rigon to be admitted to the academy?’

It was not difficult because I found out that I also had the right to enter.

Of course, what was important was Lygon’s will.

I was about to call the Leegon brothers and sisters right away to ask for their opinion. By the way······.

“Lord Reef is currently marching out to Mazrock Gorge on the borders of Enrok.”

“·······Going out? Why?”

“The knights who just joined the Iron-Blood Knights will go out to the rough places of Enrok as a training course…”

is it. Looks like you’re working hard

“If you order it, I will tell you so that you can return to the monarchy as soon as possible.”

“Okay. You don’t have to.”

I decided to leave the Riffs who were not in the castle and call only Rygon for now.

【Lv. 29]

“Did you call, my lord?”

Lee Gon, who had been called upon, greeted me with a welcome expression. It was a face I hadn’t seen in a long time.

‘But level 29?’

Wasn’t the last time I saw you at level 21?

It was Rigon, who had grown up by storm again and was approaching level 30.

“How are you today?”

“Thanks to the Lord taking care of us, we are doing so well. Thank you.”

After listening to a brief recent story, I went straight to the main topic.

“Lygon, do you know the Elphon Academy in Seintea?”

Lygon tilted his head.

“I’m not sure. What is it?”

The Lee Gon brothers and sisters were originally from Calderic, so they didn’t know much about Seintea.

I gave a brief description of the academy.

After hearing all the explanations, Rigon nodded as if he understood.

“There is such a thing. It’s a place where people gather and teach at once. It’s amazing.”

“Are you interested?”

“Yes? Yes. A little.”

“Yeah. So, do you have any plans to enter the academy?”
