How To Live As A Writer In A Fantasy World chapter 181

Chapter 181

senate.

A political organization boasting a long history that it can be safely said that they shared the history of Albenheim.

When a specific civilization is established, a ‘leader’ is always needed to lead the civilization, and the leader appears mostly in the form of a ‘king’.

The king has the duty and responsibility to help the people lead a more stable life and to make the country prosperous from the dangers around it.

However, there was no ‘king’ when Albenheim was founded. In essence, a king is a being who reigns over the people and holds great power in his hand. It is a class that ordinary people should look up to.

At that time, the elves were extremely reluctant to be ruled by anyone because of their pride of being chosen by the gods. They said that only the gods could rule them, and they endured with the mindset that they would rather receive their trust and run the country.

Because of this, the first leaders were ‘priests’. The priests made high-quality offerings to receive oracles directly from the gods, and to run the country with ease. The people of Albenheim also creaked, but they continued their lives without problems.

Until an incident called the ‘Devil War’ that made me even a little doubted the power of God happened.

Fortunately, they were given the seeds of the World Tree and somehow defeated them, but only then did the elves realize. If something similar happens next time, it may be too late before hearing the voice of God.

He said that the elves, not the gods, could develop in the future only if they ran Alvenheim on their own. The political organization that was created through this is the ‘Senate’.

At first, she was an elf who was reluctant to be ruled by mortals other than gods, but as time passed, her thoughts faded.

Also, as is usually the case in the beginning, the Senate also wisely ruled Alvenheim with a clean heart and undistorted convictions, among which the Dark Elves belonged. In fact, it could be said that this was the last time for an elf in the true sense of the word.

However, when the power becomes strong, morality disappears and it becomes corrupt. The senate gradually began to check other forces in order to take care of their own rice bowls.

For example, Dark Elf. They were a very good target for oppression because they were a minority, skin color, and even the gods they worship were different. The resulting event was the expulsion of the Dark Elves.

In a way, it can be seen that the Senate was deeply involved in the expulsion of the Dark Elves. Externally, the quarrel between religions turned into madness, but the senate ignited the fuse.

Since then, the madness has faded through God’s restraint, and the Senate has committed the act of destroying records in order to cover up the worst wealth. It was already a rotten political institution, but rather than abolished it, it maintained its existence.

Even when the Dark Elves were exiled, it was a major event, but a racial war broke out in which the corruption of the Senate was fully exposed. The main character who imprisoned even the war chief who could give him victory in the war and led to the country’s defeat.

As things that were normally quiet exploded all at once, the number of people requesting the abolition of the Senate increased, and the ‘throne’ was born. Nevertheless, the Senate continued to persist.

The Senate is a symbol that shared the history of Albenheim, whether in a good or bad sense, just by its existence. Getting rid of that symbol is like enduring a huge loss as Albenheim.

Compared to other races, it clearly expresses the characteristic of elves who hate ‘change’.

“Sit comfortably. Oh, is there anything you want to eat?”

“it’s okay.”

A drawing room in a mansion in Yggdrasil. In the living room with a simple background, two men were facing each other with a table in between.

The head of the senate, Pyren and his henchman Callas.

While Pyren had a gentle grandfather-like smile, Callas’ face stiffened a little as if he was nervous.

“It’s a tea made from the leaves of the world tree. It’s perfect for fatigue.”

“I’ll drink thanks.”

Callas looked at the liquid in the teacup as Pyren urged him to drink. It had a faint green color and a subtle scent stimulated the sense of smell.

As the name suggests, tea made with the leaves of the world tree is terrifying in price. Few people could approach the World Tree directly, and magic treatment was essential to keep the leaves fresh.

Instead, it works great. It is excellent for fatigue and also has an excellent effect on stability like Cheongshimhwan. The perfect car for Callas, whose heart is pounding with tension.

As soon as I took a sip of the tea, the cool taste spread throughout my mouth. Unlike the green color, it had no taste and only the coolness spread.

“So, did you find Xenon?”

Pyren put aside the chores and went straight to the point. He was the one who ordered Callas to find Xenon, so it’s only natural to expect it.

Callas paused for a moment, but then smiled naturally. Here, even if Pyren had any doubts, he had no choice but to let his ears rot black.

No matter how much you belong to the Senate, it is not precious enough to have your ears cut off yourself.

“Of course. After all, humans are not very good. In particular, the president of a publishing company was a human without any abilities, so it was easy to trace.”

“Hey. That’s great. I thought that Zenon hid his identity by borrowing the power of another race. For example, a demon.”

Pyrenne spoke as if it was flowing, but Callas had no choice but to be stabbed.

The demons are in Zeno’s mansion. Not even a simple demon, but the Princess of Hellium, Cecily.

Even Zeno’s father was a knight with a reputation for being a red lion. The publisher’s president was negligent, but the people around him far exceeded the scope of the general public.

“Maybe he was confident. Other than that, there’s no way to explain it.”

“A price befitting arrogance. So can you tell me what your name is and where you live? I hope to see your face later.”

It’s finally here. Callas rolled his head while Florence asked questions and drank his tea.

When captured at the mansion of the Michelle estate, Isaac kindly recited the report to Florence one by one. A pseudonym, a place to live, and finally a detailed appearance.

Callas put his saliva in his mouth so that Pyren didn’t notice, and calmly informed him.

“His name is Xenon Cloud. He was a human old man who lived in the Hask region of the Kingdom of Teres. His appearance… Anyone can only say that he looked like a sage. He had a neat beard, gray hair, and blue eyes. .”

“That’s enough. By the way, I wonder if you did well in ‘Conciliation’.”

Pyren smirked and put the word ‘conciliation’ in her mouth. The conciliation he mentioned is to stand on the side of the Senate and use the ripple power of Zeno’s life.

Right now, the power of the Senate has weakened due to the Xenon biography. It was only a matter of awareness until now, but the situation has changed rapidly as the pollution of the roots of the World Tree has become a reality.

As you all know in Zeno’s biography, there is a political body in Elvenheim called the ‘Parliament’. It is obvious that the Senate was the motif.

The problem is that all of the things that Congress did were serious, and the real senators were also part of what they actually did. The biggest example is the expulsion of the Dark Elves.

No matter how Xenon knew about it, the expulsion of the Dark Elves was inevitable because the Senate was involved even if they did not directly do it.

So I planned to convince him somehow, but if that doesn’t work, the plan is to forcefully form a cooperative relationship using ‘means’. As long as their identity was discovered, this one had the upper hand.

To this, Callas answered with a frozen, mean-looking smile.

“Well, as expected, conciliation did not work. On the contrary, he said that he did not want to become a partner with people who censor precious culture. Artists are not like that, are they?”

“Isn’t that a characteristic of artists? So?”

“I’ve taken some steps to make sure I don’t ever think like that again. When I said I’d be banned from writing for the rest of my life, I cried and cried and begged.”

“Heh heh heh heh heh!”

Pyren burst out a big laugh, apparently satisfied with the answer. The stomach that has been stagnant for so long is empty! feels like a hole in

But when a person’s mood changes, his judgment becomes extremely clouded. This is a story that also holds true for Florence, who served as the head of the Senate.

If I had thought a little more deeply, I would have greatly pushed Callas’ ‘mistake’. How high is Xenon’s current reputation, and how strong the ripple effect is.

It can be said that it was the biggest mistake of Pyren, who only saw Xenon as a risk factor.

“Very good. I wonder what that action is, can you tell me?”

“Well… I broke my finger so I couldn’t write for a while. The Hask region is far from the city, so you won’t be able to receive treatment at the temple. Instead, I gave you a potion.”

“I’m satisfied. And?”

“I have brought another item that will satisfy Pyren.”

As Callas searched in his arms, Pyrenees’ eyes filled with curiosity and anticipation. He’s already satisfied with the part that has already watered Xenon, but this loyal henchman seems to have more good news.

Then Callas handed him a piece of paper, and Pyren took it with excitement. Judging from the fact that it contains mana, it is no ordinary paper.

“This…”

“It’s an oath.”

“Oath?”

“Yes. Please read it.”

At Callas’ invitation, Pyren began to slowly read the stipulations of the oath with anticipation. A smile appeared on my lips from the first clause, but the more I read, the more satisfied I was.

I never thought that I would even sign an oath. It’s also quite satisfying.

Originally, it was planned to end the search for Zeno’s identity and residence, but Callas took another drink. It was as if he had cleared up all the things that Pyren had to think of as being complicated.

“Really… great. I never thought I’d make it this far. I must have underestimated you. I apologize.”

“No. I was just lucky. And I didn’t know what kind of human Xenon was until now.”

“It is true, but it is undeniable that your abilities are outstanding. Thanks to you, our Senate will be able to use their powers.”

On the surface, it was a warm scene of reconciliation, but on the inside, it was not. The filth of censorship, oppression, and conspiracy techniques is rampant.

And there was one person watching all the dirty scenes…

‘…I feel like vomiting.’

It was Siris, a dark elf who broke through all the crime prevention magic of the mansion. She was watching all of this with her eyes and recording it all.

If she was an ordinary thief or wizard, she would have been detected by crime prevention magic, but she was a dark elf. If she moves carefully, it’s not difficult for her to infiltrate.

Moreover, he did not forget to receive divine power from Mora just in case. No matter how good a dark elf’s infiltration ability is, the limit is clear.

Fortunately, the mansion in Florence is surprisingly weak in security, befitting its owner’s personality. It seems that no one expected anyone to break into this mansion.

“You’ve done a really good job. Please continue to work hard.”

“Thank you. However, it seems that there are no young people who want to join the Senate recently. Are you okay?”

“You don’t have to worry about that, because we need talented people like you rather than idiots like you.”

Hearing that story, Siris was almost devoured. The reason the new generation of elves stay away from the Senate is because they are aware that even if they rot, they are firmly rotten.

Even so, power tends to corrupt, but the senate will be terrified. Moreover, due to the nature of long-lived elves, the phenomenon of ‘rotten water’ is inevitably more pronounced.

As time goes by, the power of the Senate will weaken, but since it takes so long, you never know what kind of accidents will happen in the meantime.

‘Now I’m going to advance that time.’

Siris listened to the conversation between Pyren and Callas, then quietly disappeared. He’s got the decisive evidence anyway, so all that’s left is to deliver it to Arwen.

‘Will we be able to enter Alvenheim in a while?’

The Dark Elf Expulsion incident occurred only 800 years ago. There are Dark Elves who still remember the incident, but they still miss Alvenheim.

Some new generation of Dark Elves do not understand them, and Siris feels the same way. However, I changed my mind a bit after reading the newly published biography of Zeno.

I can’t live in the forest forever, and even if I cut off my own ears, I still have the pride of being chosen by God. Xenon’s biography slowly moved not only the elves but also the dark elves’ hearts.

‘The Queen will do well.’

Siris moved to Arwen’s place with subtle emotions in her chest.

*****

A few days later, the publishing house of the Minerva Empire.

“Hey, is this real?”

“…Yes. Yes. It’s crooked, but if you look at the autograph…”

“ah…”

The publisher’s president was desperate when he saw the letter from Isaac. The content of the letter is…

[Dear readers. Sorry. His right hand was seriously injured in the attack by the assailant. Serialization will not be possible for the time being […]

It was enough to ignite the fuse that had been installed beforehand.
