How To Live As A Writer In A Fantasy World 234

Chapter 234

Please read the review!

******

I am not a slave to Halo Academy history professor Elena… but an assistant. He is perhaps the next best assistant after Cindy.

Naturally, assisting Elena or teaching Cindy, who recently completed her Ph.D., how to write, etc. Besides writing, I have a lot of work to do.

Besides, I learned a lot of pros and cons while working as a teaching assistant. very busy

It’s not just that he’s busy, he’s got a lot of research to do, so he has no choice but to wander around.

In order to research Elena’s data, of course, you have to visit other professors and even go to a professor from a different department, not history, to ask for data.

As mentioned before, there is no internet here, so you have to run around on your own two feet to find the material. I’m doing that.

Also, Elena asks for my opinion whenever she writes a dissertation to see if she values ​​my historical knowledge and philosophy.

The problem is that she has accumulated knowledge and experience that no human can dare to approach, so she is inevitably perplexed in many ways. She is trying so hard to be of any help to her because she is.

The next advantage is similar to the disadvantage, but the knowledge about history is flowing like a waterfall.

Still, Elena’s lab was filled with numerous historical books and papers, even old books from unknown sources.

There is even a diary written by a human soldier during the racial war. In addition, it is well preserved, so it is a relic of great historical value, but Elena gave it a try to read it.

When I asked if he could give me such a precious thing, he said it wasn’t a very good period by his standards. Thanks to this, I realized again that she was an elf with a lifespan of close to 1000 years.

For elves, 300 years ago as a human, it would have been about 30 years ago, so there must be a difference in their perspectives. Still, it’s pretty important by my standards.

‘Wherever you go, the army is the same.’

I don’t know if I should call the contents of the diary really military-like or needlessly realistic. The diary is full of the things that Soldier 1, who has no power, rolls and rolls.

In order to somehow kill an elf warrior, the story of charging nearby allies regardless of whether they fall down or not, or the content of drinking water that has not been purified properly, causing a stomachache, or the content of chewing on the sand while eating bread.

What stands out here is PTSD. Whistle against the military is mandatory once a day, but uniquely, the symptoms of PTSD are rarely described.

Of course, sometimes I have nightmares of the death of my co-workers along the way, or hear their hallucinations. There were mild symptoms, but compared to the harsh environment of the military, it was on the lesser side.

The reason was revealed one after another in every battle with the elves. Every battle with an elf is full of hatred and murderous intent.

‘In the mean time, there is contempt towards the elves.’

Post-traumatic stress is difficult to treat, but there are ways to alleviate it. That is to give ‘justification’ to one’s actions.

If you compare the soldiers in World War II and Vietnam War, you can see what that means.

There was a firm belief that World War II was to fight the great evil of the Axis powers, but the Vietnam War was different because it was simply fighting for the national interest.

The same goes for the owner of this diary. It seems that before the racial war, the elves were treated like monkeys rather than just plainly disrespecting humans.

Even the owner of this diary had a history of being racially discriminated against by elves in the past, and it can be inferred that this trend is prevalent throughout the elves.

In rebellion against him, humans formed a coalition and declared war on Albnheim. It can be said that it is self-sufficient, and it is the defeat of the elves that see humans as water.

This seems to be the reason for the difference between the old generation elves and the new generation elves.

‘The class … is hardly different from what it is now.’

The ranks of ordinary soldiers are similar to those of Rome in their previous lives, such as ten commanders and centurions. It is written that the owner of the diary was also an ordinary soldier at first, but was promoted to a ten commander.

Yes, compared to knights, he’s just an ordinary soldier. The gap between the knight and the soldier cannot be filled, and the reason is whether or not ‘mana’ is used.

Read At https://noblemtl.com

Even if there is mana in this world, it is absolutely not possible to use dog or cow or mana. Although elves and demons are out of standard, in the distant past, only selected humans were able to manifest.

Fortunately, with the passage of time and the development of civilization, know-how has been accumulated and access has become easier.

Currently, all non-students of the academy can use mana, and even me, who only received basic stamina in the mansion, can strengthen the body using mana.

But that’s all, you can’t chop rocks like anyone with mana in your sword. Even if you don’t know the inside, it takes hard work to send it outside.

Of course, if you’re a genius who doesn’t spend money, you can use your mana the way you can imagine. They are often referred to as ‘heroes’.

‘If you look at it this way, it is strange that humans have won the war of races.’

The power of the elf warrior described in the book is truly catastrophic. It is basic that five soldiers are split in half with a single sword, and the more terrifying thing is magic.

It is written that the magic that the elves, who were driven into crisis, fired as their last effort, could not destroy the surroundings, and drove them to the brink of extinction.

Fortunately, the elf got rid of it with the knight’s support, but the diary owner’s army suffered fatal wounds and it took quite a while to reorganize.

After that, the war ended and he was discharged, and the story ended with the fact that he married his fiancee and had lovely children.

‘Are you really good at writing?’

It’s just a diary, but the feeling of immersion is no joke. There are elements that fall deeply in the middle, and furthermore, the happenings caused by the unique military culture made people laugh.

Of course, it’s not without its depth. There are times when the diary owner is skeptical about whether this is the right thing to do while fighting a war, and there are times when he feels helpless that he can do nothing even if his comrades fall.

In any case, we can be sure that this diary is a relic of great historical and cultural value. I closed my old diary and fell into contemplation

‘Certainly, there is a big difference between regular soldiers and knights.’

When many people think of war, they think of knights, but ordinary soldiers are behind the scenes. As written in this diary, an ordinary soldier is, frankly, at the level of a meat shield.

Human soldiers such as monsters can be dealt with, but there are many aspects that are insufficient to deal with elves and demons who can use mana immediately after being born, and the unique hardware itself.

In terms of games, it’s like a zergling, not a marine, attacking a Zealot. It is the reality of ordinary soldiers that even human knights cannot defeat them.

‘By the way, normal elf warriors are at the level of human knights.’

As mentioned before, he is a normal warrior. Just as there are knights in humans who imitate the civilization of elves, there are ranks similar to knights in elves.

The difference is that a warrior is a fighter who fights only with body specifications, and a knight is a battle wizard who uses magic.

Still, it’s hard to deal with even a single warrior, but the knights are terrifying. According to the records, 4 or 5 human knights joined together to defeat one elf knight.

The great internal division in Albenheim was a factor in the victory, but the fact that humans pushed it like a swarm of ants also played a part.

Moreover, with the support of the demons, he could not attack, but he was able to defend. In particular, humans did not hesitate to work behind the scenes to gain victory, whereas elves did not do that either.

At least the warlord Aiker tried to win, but… you know, thanks to the hard trolling of the Senate, he was detained.

Looking at it this way, their atrocities were at an incomprehensible level, to the extent that I wondered if the Senate were on the human side.

‘At that time, there was no proper integration, let alone civilization. Besides, Su-in only has excellent physical specifications.”

Normal warriors cannot use mana. It’s just that the hardware itself is insanely large. Crucially, the reason the massacre of inmates was possible like the Holocaust 300 years ago is the difference in the existence of civilization.

As the saying goes, it is much better to play 100-50 twice than to fight 100-100. The Suin Massacre was accomplished through this process.

In any case, after 300 years, as civilization developed, various educational institutions were established, and the accessibility of mana also increased dramatically and was leveled upward.

In order to acquire mana, the existence of a ‘master’ is absolutely necessary, and educational institutions are replacing it. It is the experience and the driving force for development that humans have acquired through tribal wars 300 years ago.

‘But despite this, how strong is the devil?’

In Zeno’s biography, there are many demons mentioned in the literature. Not the Seven Deadly Sins, but demons commonly called miscellaneous mobs.

The Seven Deadly Sins will be eradicated by the main characters anyway, so even so, ordinary demons are the problem.

Demons have strength as well as strength, but their quantity is terrifyingly large. The fundamental reason for being able to occupy Alvenheim in the book, that is, Elvenheim, is because of the overwhelming amount.

Will the Allied Forces be able to survive while the main character and party defeat the Seven Deadly Sins? Humans also have one quantity, but it is certain that they will collapse helplessly in the field where there is a fundamental difference in specifications.

Of course, if you roughly describe how you survived, readers will be taken lightly. Because Xenon’s biography is the story of a hero, not an ordinary soldier.

‘In order to effectively counteract these quantities…’

Magic is perfect. To be precise, it is a powerful ‘firepower’.

Even in this world, gunpowder and cannons exist. However, only humans and dwarves are using it, because elves and demons are naturally magical, and beasts do not rely on machines.

Above all, there is magic that emits several times more firepower, but I do not feel the need to use a cannon.

In a world where magic takes the place of science, the development of ‘machines’ is inevitably slow compared to previous lives.

‘Still, the magic engine was invented.’

Read At https://noblemtl.com

Everyone knows that Ains invented the magic engine. Currently, he is inventing a magic locomotive with support from Machina, the land of dwarves.

Although it was the invention of the magic locomotive, which can be said to be a symbol of mechanical civilization, the people around it are still looking suspiciously at it.

I’m curious as to whether a machine can really surpass magic, and whether it’s more efficient than that.

‘I’ll try to put this in the 19th, not the 18th.’

If five human soldiers could produce human knight-level power, would you believe it?

By the way, this rice cake will not be solved in Zeno’s biography, but in World War II, which he wrote in the future. The worldview is not connected at all, but it will show the pinnacle of machine civilization once.

As Luminus said, there is a high probability that Dwarves will come to the exhibition with their tanks, but they should be used. I turned my head to look at the moldy old diary.

When he turned his head, Elena was writing a thesis, and Cindy, who was researching the data next to him, caught his eye.

“Have you read it all?”

Read At https://noblemtl.com

Elena put down the nib for a moment, perhaps feeling my gaze, and looked at me. The way she lifts up her glasses, which has fallen slightly, is intellectual.

I listened to her question and opened my mouth, lifting an old diary.

“Where did you get this?”

“From my disciple. I heard that it was a diary written by his ancestors.”

“Then what is the disciple doing now?”

“He died. The descendants passed it on to me because he died early.”

“·······”

This is the moment when the elf’s dignity stacks up. As I was shivering, Elena supported her chin with both her hands and she gave her a subtle expression.

I’ve seen that expression many times before, so I know what it means. A face that roughly throws me a thesis or interesting material, tells me to read it, and then asks me for a review.

“Now, what do you think of reading it?”

As expected, Elena asked about the appreciation of the old reading book. Cindy, who was researching the data next to her, was also curious, so she put down the pile of data and looked at me.

The dark circles were still dark and the eyes were clear, but there was a deep curiosity in them. I don’t know why they all lean on me together.

I rolled my eyes and thought about what to say, then just pulled the thought out of my head.

“I’m curious how elves discriminated against humans in the past. Contempt for elves appears in the middle of the diary. At the same time, they are revering the power of elves.”

“I read it right. You are right. At the time of the Tribal War, the elves were truly a mass of pride. Not only humans, but other races were all under their feet.”

After saying that, Elena brought up a story that made me tremble.

“Before, there were times when I wondered, “Why didn’t this arrogant elf occupy another country?”

“…a biography of Xenon?”

“Yeah. It was explained in Zeno’s biography. The Dark Elf Expulsion Case. They fought a riot to dominate each other, and then four months went by. I didn’t lose, so I saw blood in the race war.”

“Aha.”

That might be it. Clearly, as she said, before the Tribal War, the elves were rather fascistic.

Even if imperialism is rampant right now, it is not strange to occupy a foreign country, but since the Dark Elf expulsion incident occurred, he may have been cautious in everything.

Since he was binding himself with the shackles of ‘law’, he must have stayed still due to the characteristic of a knowledgeable elf.

“Maybe. But do you believe what is written in Zeno’s biography?”

“That alone explains why the law that the Senate insisted on came into existence, and moreover, why Albnheim stayed still. It will be announced in Yggdrasil soon.”

In Yggdrasil, renowned scholars gather for a specific period and publish their research results. There is no exact name, but it can be considered as a kind of seminar.

Originally, only elves were allowed to attend, but after Arwen’s open policy, other races have also been able to attend. Thanks to that, the scale was also vast.

Although the difference in lifespan often makes it laughable. Sometimes, when some humans disappear, the elves only realize the difference in lifespan.

As I listened to Elena’s story and thought deeply, a question came to mind and I asked her a question. This is a question that came to my mind while looking at this diary.

“Prof.”

“Say.”

“Professor, what do you think would have happened if the world had not had mana?”

At my question, Elena as well as Cindy blinked their eyes and gave a bewildered expression. These are expressions that we do not understand.

It’s not that I made the question difficult, but I don’t know why I’m reacting like that. On the contrary, as I tilted my head and raised questions, Cindy asked in her characteristic hoarse voice.

“What does that mean…?”

“Yeah?”

“I don’t know what you mean…”

Cindy was followed by Elena’s words.

“Me too. A world without mana? Is that even possible? Without mana, the human race would have gone extinct long ago?”

“Uh… is it that much?”

“Of course. It would be difficult to subdue Orcs, let alone ogres, with their bare body. Without mana, our elves would be nothing more than uselessly pretty dolls. Their lifespan is closely related to mana, so they will be similar to humans. would be extinct.”

Some pessimistic speculations have been pouring in. Cindy, who was next to him, nodded in agreement, apparently feeling the same way.

As I have memories of my previous life, I couldn’t help but be stunned. After all, I have clear memories of my past life, and these are people living in this world, so there is bound to be a difference.

I scratched my head and spoke as if reluctantly agreeing.

“Umm… I understand what you think. It’s impossible.”

“Impossible. Of course, I don’t know if a weapon comparable to magic comes out, and if I write it as a thesis, it will be a novel, not a thesis.”

I was shocked to hear that. I kept my composure as much as possible and opened my mouth quietly.

“…Then what do you think of the magic engine invented by Ains?”

“That would be possible because Xenon is a future person. If it wasn’t for that, I wouldn’t have even thought of it.”

That’s what you meant by bringing a train. I laughed bitterly at her answer.

‘···You should only throw rice cakes.’

I was thinking about using it as a thesis, but I have to put it aside for a while.

    Also, why they did mention orcs (bul’tar btw) or ogres? Orcs are cool(and dumb, kek) and ogres are easy to peel like onions…
