Chapter 127
Deolkin lyoleate.
In line with his behavior, his role in the game doesn’t end with just being a bad guy.
The boss of Chapter 6 of the main scenario.
A villain that must be defeated in the game.
“Have you ever felt inferior to someone?”
“well.”
“Those who are superior to themselves, those who are determined to catch up, but who admit that they cannot surpass them no matter what they do.”
What do humans have at that time?
jealousy? period? Or do you just give up?
“I don’t care what feelings you have. The important thing is to recognize the existence above yourself. … … and.”
He showed his empty hand.
Black waves sway.
A unique skill of the Lyole family. Of course, the owner of the house must have it too.
If there is a difference, unlike Elcia, who can’t accept it and runs away, his power is already complete.
“Man realizes when he sees its loss right in front of his eyes.”
“what?”
“Tranquility.”
That crazy man claims to be serenity.
“Once you realize that, Elcia will become a child worthy of the name of the Lyoleate family.”
“… … What are you going to do?”
“Nothing. It’s enough if the child carries on the family line. And in the same way, Elsia will give the same teachings to her descendants.”
same teaching.
“Like I realized that and kept the current Leoleate family.”
He grabs the waves gathered in his grasp and dispels them.
Part of what leaked out touches the table, and part of it collapses into ashes.
“It is a waste. that.”
“Don’t worry. I will make amends. But it’s a pity that he didn’t blink an eye.”
Because I’m not afraid.
“Because I think the possibility that the Duke will touch me is low.”
“Right. You are wise.”
No, it’s just based on my knowledge of the game.
And more than half are bluffs.
Considering the case of an attack on a whim, he was not reckless because he had devised a countermeasure.
It’s easy to run away.
“Let’s quit first.”
The Duke of Leolate announced a temporary renunciation.
“What do you mean?”
“Don’t ask when you know it.”
“It’s because I have a temper that I can’t stand it because I’m anxious when I don’t listen to it myself.”
“It’s natural to be anxious if you don’t listen clearly.”
Especially as you get older, the number of times you doubt people increases.
“I will stop interfering with you myself.”
It means to stop attacking.
“Why?”
“It is simple. Because the risk is high.”
“Only from me?”
“It’s not just you. Do you know what you have done?”
Removed the wedge controlling Elcia’s abilities.
It doesn’t mean that you simply interfered with this uncle’s evil deeds.
“It is difficult. A wedge once loosened cannot be replanted right away. Even more, that child will be on guard.”
“I feel like it’s not too difficult for something like that.”
“It’s not the only means of control. Wedges are only the last resort to use the power of Reolate.”
But what he finds difficult is the existence of the country.
“I thought you were in danger.”
“Me?”
“Can I tell you? Or are you pretending not to know? … … If it were you, it would be the latter.”
He casts a sharp gaze.
“I was sure. draft. You are my kind of human being.”
isn’t it?
Absolutely not?
Are you going to sue? Oh, nothing like that here.
I feel very insulted!
“… … What an honor. Head of the Lyoleate family. To think that the owner of the famous house, which is said to be the second of the empire, evaluates it that way.”
“Stop saying things that aren’t even in your heart. Aren’t you offended? That means you are just like me.”
homophobia.
Humans fear and hate those who are similar to themselves.
one’s own unique self. In short, because it invades the territory.
“It is simple to exclude you. There are plenty of means.”
“It’s brutal.”
“However, the damage that will occur in the process cannot be estimated. I don’t know what you will do.”
That’s why it declared a temporary renunciation.
Even intruders are not excluded unconditionally. If there is a risk, it is better not to touch it.
It can be killed, but I have no idea what this bastard will do in the process.
Handling difficult bombs.
“I have already investigated you.”
I guess so.
I would have dug up all the backgrounds of Xian.
Even if you come from a slum, it doesn’t mean that you don’t leave traces behind. With the wealth of the duchy, it would be possible to dig into Xi’an’s past.
“I admit that it is a difficult environment. You had a hard time.”
“… … Everyone said so.”
“You don’t have to hide it.”
No, I’m not really aware of it.
Now, I am a different person from the ‘Sian’ of the slums that he confirmed through information.
After becoming the current me, Xi’an’s memories of the past became a bit fuzzy.
As time passed, it became less conscious.
It’s not easy to think of lately. Well, there’s no reason for that.
If someone asks me about my past… … .
“Especially, when I heard about the tragedy of 7 years ago, my heart ached… … .”
bang.
It was my reflexive punch that interrupted Duke Lyoleate, who was about to mention something.
It was unconscious.
I had no intention of doing so, but my arm struck me on its own.
… … what?
What am I, ‘Sian’, mad at right now?
7 years ago?
It was never even described in the game.
“Don’t get me wrong. This is nothing to do with me.”
“It sounds like nonsense. … … It has nothing to do with me now.”
Words to cover up unexpected actions that I did without even knowing.
But he would have interpreted it differently.
“Sian, you will surely become a person who pursues the same way as me.”
Shall I get angry?
Listen to the villain say, ‘You have the talent to be a villain.’ I want to turn it over on the spot.
“It would be a loss for you and me to get involved at this point.”
“So you mean you won’t get involved?”
“At this point, it is. … … At least during the evaluation period, you won’t be bothered by a member of House Liolet.”
“What else?”
“You have to deal with that on your own.”
It means that only Deolkin Reoleate will cut off his interest from me, and he won’t do anything about the tyranny of the other nobles.
Does not matter.
“That should be enough to put my mind at ease. Ah, that’s great! Good.”
All I care about now is the interim evaluation.
A comprehensive practical test, especially on the last day.
All you have to do is not become a target then.
“I’m glad you understood.”
“Yes, of course.”
do not understand
“Ah, come to think of it, if you’re not happy that Elcia invited me in as a guest on her own, should we pack our things and leave?”
“There is no need for that. It’s not fair to be so cold-hearted.”
That’s funny.
It’s probably because it’s easier to figure out what I’m going to do if I put it where my eyes can reach.
Well, it doesn’t matter.
Maybe it’s because I think I’ll have something to do with that lady during the evaluation period.
So will that guy
I laughed heartily, but kept my heart cool, thinking about the confidence I had now.
‘I’ll buy this sooner or later.’
He said he wouldn’t touch me.
From noble mtl dot com
Because I didn’t say I wouldn’t do anything else.
(It’s the same kind… I don’t think it’s wrong.)
‘Don’t even talk like that to yourself. Emily.’
If you keep doing that, I will really cry.
* * *
As soon as Xi’an heard Duke Lioleit’s business, he simply agreed and went back.
As for where he was heading, the subordinates who made him follow Xi’an just in case sent a message that they had missed him.
“… … You’re a troublesome kid.”
“It sounds like you talked about it in a calm way, right?”
Despite Xian’s departure, Duke Lioleit did not get up from his seat.
Because there were other guests.
After Xian left, there was a woman who sat on her own.
“Where is the gentleness? Are your ears rotten?”
“I was kicked back and forth by that boy. Compared to that, they seemed close enough.”
“Listen, that’s your responsibility. Blame it on its vulgar dignity. Jaylen.”
“I’m sorry.”
Jaylen.
A wanted criminal in the first degree of the empire and a villain whom all alchemists tremble.
She walks around casually and orders tea.
“It’s amazing.”
“It is surprisingly not difficult to get around. You can even eat rice with confidence. Of course, it is all thanks to you.”
Jaylen speaks friendly.
The reason why she confidently wanders around the system even in broad daylight is because there was someone’s connivance.
Cooperation from powerful families including the Duke of Liolet.
“When your use is gone, that is the end.”
“Huh, I know that. But it’s like any alchemist.”
“… … Yes, all we expect from you is the value of your skills.”
Jaylen is making a deal with an influential person in the empire.
Excellent knowledge and skills that ordinary alchemists do not have.
Things you can get by trading with her.
“I’m a little nervous because dealing with the Liolet family has been going on for a while.”
“I don’t want to hear nonsense. What you have to report is the progress of the request.”
“Kuhuhuhu… … . Don’t worry, I’m already ready.”
“Isn’t the deadline tight?”
“I can meet the deadline you asked for. It’s because they provided the perfect materials and talented people.”
“Then it is done.”
“Especially the talent you gave me was the best.”
“I will throw it away when it is worthless. Use it however you like.”
Giving up on Xian’s treatment wasn’t just because he was wary of him.
because they changed their plans.
You don’t have to worry about that kid.
“But are you okay? What am I saying? write it… … It will definitely be a headache to clean up.”
“It’s nothing to worry about about you. … … For the development of lyoleate. I can bear it.”
“It must be precisely for the strength of the Lyoleites.”
“… … What do you know?”
He frowns in displeasure.
“It is a story that those in the know know. What you’re after is not the continuation of the Lyoleate dukedom. … … What you are really looking for.”
“Yes, this power.”
A power passed down from generation to generation in the Ryole family.
doomsday blood.
Power in a family or empire is nothing more than a means to grow it from generation to generation.
“The authority of the Lyoleites has grown in strength from generation to generation. At first it was just a small fire, but now it’s enough to collapse a city if you want to.”
“It’s interesting. An authority passed down from generation to generation and gradually increased in ferocity. … … Any descendant is fine, so don’t you have the heart to hand over just one?”
“Shut up. A shallow alchemist.”
As if displeased, Jaylen gently raised both hands and pretended to surrender.
“Then shouldn’t we be even more cautious?”
“My powers have already grown. Exactly this my next vs… … . There was an ancestor’s calculation that that authority would be completed.”
That’s Elcia Lyoleate.
“He is a stupid child. I have arrived at the blessed time, but I have not understood the glory.”
“Can’t you just give up?”
“Even I have things that don’t go my way.”
He rejects the way of the Liolet family, but ironically, that child has inherited the greatest power.
There are several children of the Lyoleate family, but Elcia is the most likely to inherit the power.
“Well, originally, children and parents do not agree. Even I did.”
“So what did you do?”
“I ended up cutting open my father’s stomach.”
“I’d rather be that way. If the child had wickedness, I wouldn’t have worried.”
“Whoop whoop… … . You’re pretty crazy too.”
Duke Lioleit silently ignored the mocking laughter.
“You are out of your mind. If you do something like this, the child will be put aside and the family will surely be disgraced.”
“Does not matter. As long as the authority of the Reoleit family is completed, His Majesty the Emperor will never condemn us.”
“Emperor… … . I’m sure he’s like that. I get it. If so, I will do my best to assist you.”
“I will not allow mistakes.”
“Khuhuhu. … … I won’t be late for the last day of evaluation at Philos Academy.”
What the Duke of Liolet is asking for.
Jaylen, who understood that, declared that he would give the best results.
“A tragedy that will go down in history. And through it, I will deeply engrave the truth you insist on in her.”
