If you grow it well, it might be of great help later, right?
There isn’t much time left until the main story, but if you’ve grown explosively in the meantime.
It was time to go to the gym and tell Ashel to continue the full-scale map.
“Lord.”
The butler, who showed up, reported.
“The 2nd monarch has visited the castle.”
“···········?”
2 lords? suddenly?
***
I left the three of them alone and went downstairs.
After entering the castle’s hall, the thunderbolt had a rather haggard look. Like someone who hasn’t slept for a few days.
“What’s the purpose?”
She stared at me quietly and then opened her mouth.
“We talk in a quiet place.”
“Tell me what you’ve been up to.”
“I came here to talk about the last duel. Is that okay?”
He could feel the suppressed anger in his trembling voice.
I also thought it was because of that.
“Follow me.”
I went to my room and sat down facing my brain and the table.
“Speak now.”
“············”.
She could hardly speak.
He was just staring at me with ferocious eyes and showing only one-sided hostility.
In the silence that had settled down for a long time, I was tired of waiting, so I spoke up first.
“It must have been a matter of the spirit.”
“······································································!
She bit her teeth and then opened her mouth.
“What the hell have you done. Why have you completely lost your connection with my spirit? No, I can’t even feel my presence at all!”
I answered briefly.
“That’s because it’s gone.”
“······what?”
“The Thunder Spirit Laxia that you have has completely disappeared. Since it no longer exists in the world, you can’t feel its presence.”
He had nothing to hide, so he told the truth to his face.
He looked at me blankly, with a face in complete shock.
I thought while waiting for her to come to her senses.
Spirit art, a racial trait of elves.
Spirits are natural beings completely separate from elves.
However, only elves can contract with spirits and borrow their powers, so it was called the racial trait of elves.
Elves, who are born with a strong affinity for spirits, are able to play tricks with that many and strong spirits.
In a word, spirit art is a realm of talent that must be innately innate.
And Thunderhu was one of the most powerfully blessed elves on this continent.
That’s why I was able to make a contract with a great spirit that was about Laxia, and I was also able to become the lord of Calderic.
‘But now the Great Spirit is gone.’
She lost her strongest power in one day.
I looked at her level once more and felt a little somber.
With a pale, weary face, she soon stuttered open her mouth.
“Cow, is it extinct? Laxiaga…?”
“okay.”
“·······Why? Why?”
“That’s because I destroyed it.”
A look of distrust and deep despair filled her face.
“Ooh, don’t be ridiculous. Don’t be funny. Raksia must have disappeared….”
To her who was muttering in denial of reality, I stopped and said.
“There is no way to revive it. Throw away the regrets and give up neatly.”
“That’s… now.”
What followed was anger.
Thunderbolt looked at me as if to kill me with tears in his red eyes. I was a little baffled.
‘Is that crying?’
She immediately got up from her seat.
“Seven Lords, I will kill you. I will truly kill you.”
“············”.
“I’m sure you’ll pay for this! Somehow!”
Then he quickly turned around and walked towards the door.
I looked back and thought.
It wasn’t a good relationship from the beginning, but somehow it seemed like he had completely lost his temper with her. Well, it was worth it, but…
‘·······Then there is no need to go well?’
I also wanted to maintain a gentle relationship with the monarchs if possible.
However, if there is a monarch who is irretrievably estranged, wouldn’t it be better to have a clear advantage? So that it doesn’t become an obstacle in the future.
And to be honest, I got annoyed by the fact that the fight ended first and then I did that, so I opened my mouth.
“The overlord and other lords don’t know this yet.”
My brain stopped at my words.
“I think I lost a lot of power after losing the Great Spirit, but even if the Overlord knew about it, would he still be able to maintain his monarchy?”
She turned her head slowly, and her face was much paler than before.
“All, you….”
There was no way I couldn’t understand that it was a threat.
With a face mixed with shame, anger and all kinds of emotions, she radiated brain energy from her body.
I said calmly.
“If you don’t mind losing all the other spirits, you can attack.”
“············”.
Her whole body trembled, slowly calming her brain.
I pointed to the other side.
“Come back and sit down.”
short slack (3)
As if frozen in place, he just stood there and stared at me. You can see the clenched fists trembling.
As I said, I came back to my seat and sat down, wondering if my pride would be hurt.
I leaned back in my chair and said again.
“If you don’t want to talk more, I don’t mind leaving.”
“············”.
However, the threat of falling for the position of the monarch, no matter how she was, seemed dizzying.
Cracking his teeth once more, he slowly returned to his seat and sat down.
“You… are you threatening me now?”
As you can see though.
Without answering, I pondered what to say. Because I didn’t really think about the next word.
what to do Shall we push a little more here, or…
“If the overlord finds out, do you think you’ll be safe?”
While I was thinking, the brain was the first to open his mouth.
I blinked my eyes at the sudden counter-threatening and looked at her.
“You killed even the 6th lord, didn’t you shamelessly lower the power of the same monarch?
Oh, that’s how it comes out.
Of course, it wasn’t entirely wrong.
The monarch is Calderic’s greatest power, and even if he didn’t kill him like the 6th lord, it would be a sin if it was a sin to eat away his important power.
I couldn’t guarantee that the Overlord wouldn’t hold me accountable at all if I found out.
‘But maybe.’
In the first place, this was a problem in which the weight of the risks to each other did not match at all.
Unlike me, Thunderhu is bluffing with unreasonable threats. It’s not this side that’s desperate, it’s the other side.
I got up from my seat and said.
“Then let’s go tell the overlord the truth right now.”
His brain was terrified and he jumped up at the same time.
“Come on, wait!”
There was an awkward silence for a moment.
I smiled and sat down on the road. It’s like admitting yourself to whom the situation is unfavorable.
Realizing that she had been fooled, she stared at me with her pointed ears dyed red. Now, I even felt a sense of shame.
“Hey, this mean human being…!”
“············”.
“I must have destroyed my spirit with this thought in mind from the beginning. Do you have neither honor nor pride? And the monarch made such a crude and dirty threat!”
All of a sudden, what’s another feat of honor?
I replied with a sullen face.
“Well, after losing a duel, only someone who comes to us unsightly and plays the truth.”
“········Ji, the truth?”
“Who was the one who fell down on a problem that had already been concluded? Who else suggested a duel first?”
“············”.
“Even that blow was really meant to kill me. You don’t think you’re responsible for your own actions, so you’re going to keep blaming others like this? Now I understand what the other monarchs were saying. There is no difference.”
As I poured out the harsh words, she stared blankly at me.
“Oh, don’t be ridiculous. What do you know… Anyway, you killed what you killed…”
He stutters out his voice, but there is no soul as if the words just got stuck in his chest.
She couldn’t even find the main shrine, so she floundered in her seat.
I said with a chuckle.
“Second Lord.”
“············”.
“From now on, don’t make the same threats or intimidation in front of me like before.
She still looked at me with eyes full of resentment and resentment.
“Looks like words don’t sound like words.”
But his eyelids trembled, and he quickly turned his head away. It seemed to be the last pride, but it just looked miserable.
I sighed inwardly and looked at her, breathing heavily.
Blood was dripping from his lips, which he bit in so much anger.
‘I’m really mad.’
From the other side’s point of view, it was natural.
He has also lost a lot of power, so he is being caught using it as an excuse and is being threatened.
When has there been no other experience of such disgrace while sitting on the throne?
First of all, the difference in position was clearly marked, but the fundamental problem was not solved at all.
Even if the chills have subsided right now, as the resentment and hostility towards me grows, it will only grow and not decrease.
I thought I might have caught on to something that I just thought about later and skipped over it, but I’ll have to tie the knot properly.
There seemed to be roughly two ways.
One is to completely push it so that it does not even lower its head at all.
‘Anyway, this is going to be a little difficult.’
The monarch is a powerful threat, but that doesn’t mean I took her life.
If she pushed her to the end of the cliff, there was a high probability that she would just explode due to her strong personality.
‘And the other one….’
Now that you’ve been whipping for fun, I’m giving you carrots.
There was one thing that suddenly came to my mind.
Spirits are a natural existence independent of the racial characteristics of elves, so it is not something that can be viewed only through their spirit skills.
In the game, spirits sometimes appear as monsters that can be hunted, or as helpers or enemies in the story.
And among them, the thunder spirits handled by Thunderhu also appeared, and there were also great spirits as strong as Laxia.
If that is the case, it would not be unreasonable to regain her former power if she went directly to the spirit and succeeded in contracting with the spirit.
‘Honestly, I don’t know if he’s a contractable spirit…’
This is because, as he appeared as a boss to be defeated in the game, he was not a gentle spirit who would make a contract with someone.
But even so, it is as clear as the fact that he exists.
That possibility alone would have been enough to overflow with a carrot.
“I know of a place where there is a Thunder Spirit as strong as Laxia.”
Brainhu, who had been swallowing the powder at my words, was startled and turned around.
“······I beg your pardon?”
“If you’re going to stick with that attitude, the conversation ends here. Go back.”
she said urgently.
“My, what’s my attitude! Keep telling me.”
At the same time, it was a spectacle to reap the life that had been secretly spewing out until now.
“As I just said, I know of a place with a thunder spirit as strong as the Laxia you dealt with.”
Saying it again, her eyes widened.
“And I didn’t mean to tell you that.”
