I continued talking to her, who looked at me with a slightly stiff face.
“But it seems that there is no need for that anymore. You have confirmed that there are no surviving people. And in just over a year, you have grown tremendously.”
“············”.
“As I said before, whatever it is, your choice is not wrong. You can leave my side as it is. Whether it’s for revenge or, as the great sage said, to continue the line of the clan…”
Ashel remained silent for a long time without opening her mouth.
I waited patiently for an answer.
That being said, of course, in my heart, I didn’t want Ashel to leave.
There is no other person other than her who can be trusted completely with 90 levels of armed force.
Even playing the game, I knew that there was potential for further growth here.
I just respect her that much, so I just wanted to leave the choice entirely to her own will.
After a long silence, Ashel opened her mouth.
“In any case, if you don’t want me to be with you any longer, please be honest with me. If so, I will gladly leave.”
“············”.
“If it’s not like that, if it’s just that you really care about me… I’m sorry, but I want to remain by your side even with my insufficient abilities.”
The end of his voice trembled slightly.
It was me who should be nervous, but on the contrary, she seemed nervous because she didn’t know what to say.
Without knowing the English language, he was brought to an unknown ruin and challenged the ordeal, and also learned the truth of the clan.
There were many questions about my strange behavior, as if she had intended it this way from the beginning, but she answered me without asking anything.
‘·······It was quite a long time.’
I thought with joy and relief inside.
Perhaps the reason why you decided to stay is because of the grace you feel or the sense of indebtedness you feel.
In fact, there were quite a few situations where I saved her life.
However, it was the last little selfishness that remained unanswered.
“There’s no reason I wouldn’t want to have you by my side.”
“············”.
“So you can do whatever you want.”
A relief crept across Ashel’s face at my answer.
I smiled inwardly.
I was worried, but it seemed that she would not leave my side in the end.
In this way, all the things that bothered me were solved at once.
“…just, can I ask you one thing?”
Then Ashel asked me.
I nodded.
“Ron-sama, I’m curious about what you’re acting for.”
It was something she had never asked me before.
It wasn’t an unanswerable question, but a really vague question.
After thinking for a while, I answered.
“It is the peace of the continent.”
“············”.
“Why, don’t you believe it? Or is it too simplistic?”
Of course I knew it myself.
It’s not like he’s a hero, and that’s not the kind of words that the Lord of Calderic could put into words at all.
But it wasn’t a lie.
In order to save my life, I had to save this world first.
Ashel blinked her eyes, then shook her head with a small smile.
“No. If that’s your intention, I’ll be happy to join you.”
yes it is me thank you
I suddenly got curious and asked.
“What do you think of the problem of passing on the blood of the clan?”
“······Yes?”
“Fortunately, they say that they can leave offspring with humans. I’m asking if you have thought about what to do in the future.”
Ashel is now the only white wolf left in the world, so if she did something wrong, the dynasty would cease to exist forever.
I was happy that she decided to stay with me, but to be honest, I was also worried at the same time because the fate of a race was at stake.
“Uh, um….”
For some reason, Ashel’s face turned a little red.
She rolled her eyes and then gently lowered her gaze to the floor and answered.
“······· Of course, no matter what happens, the blood of the Baekwol tribe will not be cut off, but it seems that we still need to consider it more carefully.”
is it.
Even if she is to inherit blood, she will be disturbed in many ways in a field where there is no suitable partner.
It doesn’t mean that you’re in a hurry to find a companion to accompany you in the future.
“If there is someone you like, please tell me as much as you want. I will help you with all my heart.”
“········Yes.”
“Then let’s go.”
The work to see at this ruin is now over.
I stopped walking as I tried to exit through the entrance I had come in.
I thought that there might be other items other than the staff I brought, so I decided to look into the ruins a bit more.
‘······There is nothing special about it.’
But after about 30 minutes of looking, I realized that I didn’t have anything to bring with me.
Even if it wasn’t an item, if there was a magic book, I would have brought it with me, but there was no such thing.
He said that he could take whatever remains of the ruins, as if he were a favoritism, but there was nothing. What legacy did you leave behind?
Anyway, after such a simple search, I went outside.
The sun was up in the middle of the sky before we came in, but the sun had already risen and it was dawning.
I looked up at the sky dyed with the sunset for a moment, then looked away.
I saw the figure of Tiongyi, who was sleeping curled up on one side, then found me and woke up.
“let’s go.”
I jumped on the back of the guy who came waddling and set off straight away.
By the time they returned to Calderik, the Council of Lords would be just around the corner.
task
After returning to the 7th monarch castle, there was a very short time left until the monarch meeting.
In the meantime, I decided to rest quietly. It was only after attending the meeting that the next plans started.
‘He just leveled up again.’
The Reef brothers and sisters fighting each other at the dance hall.
I looked at Rygon and stuck my tongue out inwardly.
【Lv. 29]
Was the last time you saw it before leaving for Earth Hill was level 23?
In the meantime, it was on the verge of going up to level 30 again.

Kaka Kaka!
Reef, who had been blocking the dizzying attack, accelerated in an instant as if to end the duel.
Reef’s sword sharply slashed Rigon’s sword upwards, but in an instant, Rigon’s sword also broke and spilled her sword.
After he spilled his sword, Reef was startled by the sword attack that came in the opposite direction and kicked Rygon with his foot.
Rigon, who was bouncing off the air, rolled over the floor a few laps before stopping.
“Aww…”
The sudden counterattack seemed to have no power control.
It was absurd from the fact that he drew power from an opponent who was more than 10 levels different for a moment.
“it’s okay?”
The match ended when Reef approached Lygon, who had fallen, in bewilderment.
As the level goes up, the growth will gradually slow down, but if it is still like this, I wondered if it would be possible for Rigon to exceed the level of Reef within half a year.
Gulpiro, who came to the castle just to see the faces of the Reef brothers and sisters, was also able to hear about their current situation.
He said he was spending his leisurely time in a mansion located on the outskirts of the city.
“She was a really great woman.”
Also, as I suggested last time, the workshop owner of Alkimas also said that he had visited and met him, but when he heard what he had to say, he seemed to like it.
“Are you going to make him a disciple?”
“No, what is the disciple? I just stop by the workshop occasionally and give advice.”
I wondered if it was already half-priesthood from the fact that they were teaching, but it was a good thing anyway.
As I walked around the castle, I thought about various things.
‘What does the overlord want to do…’
I thought about not attending the meeting, but it was meaningless.
The monarch who did not attend the meeting would receive a separate message about the contents of the meeting later, so there was no major problem with the absence.
There is only a penalty for not being able to express one’s opinion at a meeting. So it would have been a loss if I didn’t attend.
Presumably, the odds that the Overlord won’t do anything to me during this meeting was slim.
Since I had the command, there was no way to get out by wiping my mouth.
It was very reluctant in many ways, but it was selfish to be dissatisfied with it, so I didn’t want to do that.
The position of the monarch is not free, and there are rights and interests that have been enjoyed so far, so it was natural to provide that much ability. Of course, it wasn’t even the seat I wanted from the beginning.
Has it already been a year since the first possession?
I feel like I’m completely used to the situation I’m in now.
To be honest, I felt that my heart was relaxed a little.
I gained many abilities, and I was no longer in a situation where I had to spend every day in tension due to the threat that would come at any time.
Enjoying absolute power in a higher position than anyone else, he came to live a life completely separated from the world that was originally real.
It’s not too bad like this, but it was unavoidable for me to suddenly feel like…
‘It’s pathetic.’
If you settle for such complacency, it’s over.
Don’t you know better than anyone that there is nothing but ruin in the future that awaits you?
We have a long way to go, and we haven’t even started yet. I made up my mind once again.
Time passed and it was time to move on.
Accompanied by Achel, they boarded the belt and headed for the overlord’s castle quickly.
***
We arrived at Overlord Castle just in time for the meeting to begin.
I went to the conference hall alone, leaving Ashel, who could not enter the conference hall, in the hall.
“············”.
As I was walking down the hallway, I accidentally ran into the 3rd lord Cheongung.
For some reason he was standing in the middle of the hallway, staring intently at one of the statues on display.
He turned around without saying a word and immediately turned his gaze back. Then he turned around and walked away. It was the side where the conference hall was.
I looked back and continued walking.
I don’t know what he was just doing, but he’s an unpredictable character anyway, so he’s stopped understanding it.
In the meeting hall that had arrived, only the 1st monarch Shintoe had arrived and sat still.
“Welcome, 3rd lord. And 7th lord.”
I nodded my head and walked over to my seat and sat down.
After a little more time, the 4th Lord of the Dead arrived, followed by the 9th Lord of the King with a heavy ringing.
It didn’t take long until they arrived one by one and almost all the monarchs had gathered.
The 2nd and 8th lords were the only ones who did not enter the hall until the overlord and chief of staff appeared.
I thought, looking at the empty space in the back of the brain.
‘Did you not attend on purpose?’
He’s lost a lot of power, so maybe he’s trying to avoid confronting the overlord.
It wasn’t my business, so I immediately turned my attention off.
“The 2nd and 8th monarchs are not attending, so shall we start soon?”
The overlord clapped his hands and immediately began the meeting.
The aspect of the meeting was no different from anything I had experienced before.
The agendas were discussed one after the other, and the overlord entrusted several monarchs to their cause and due work.
And the monarchs generally accepted it without much disagreement and moved on.
After the overlord’s prepared agenda was finished, some of the monarchs also brought up their own personal agenda for further discussion.
Throughout the entire meeting, I kept my nerves focused on what the Overlord was going to do for me…
“Okay, this is the end of this meeting!”
The meeting ended there.
The overlord announced the dissolution without leaving any work to me until the very end.
‘······what?’
I couldn’t help but feel embarrassed.
You must have thought I’d get you to do something for me at this meeting?
I didn’t know what it was, but it was a time when I was full of hopes that I could earn an extra year.
For a moment, the overlord’s eyes met.
She smiled at me and opened her mouth.
“Oh, will the 7th lord stay? I have a story I want to share for a moment.”
·······Well then.
At that, the other monarchs looked at the overlord and me with a puzzled look.
You might be wondering what kind of story the two of you have to share without bringing it up at the meeting. So did I.
So all the monarchs left, and the only ones left in the meeting room were me, the overlord, and the chief of staff.
Soon she put her interlaced hands on her knees and spoke.
“There’s something I’d like to entrust to the 7th lord personally too. It’s not about Calderik, it’s about Seintea.”
“············”.
“Flaveros, the master of the tower, Ankh Gaidera. The 7th lords don’t know him, do they?”
