[That Altar Head, the human being, just met my eyes.]
What do you mean?
Being able to see a spiritized spirit, is that possible?
‘… … Was it because I met eyes with Skadi that I was so agitated?’
It wasn’t like the first time, but I could still see that I couldn’t control my surprise.
Aside from the fact that our eyes met, the old man’s transparent light purple eyes gave off a mysterious feeling.
“Nice to meet you. The second prince of the kingdom, Cruz Alexander.”
Only then did the old man suppress his surprise and slowly open his mouth.
“My name is Polon, the head of the Matu tribe.”
“Your eyes are very mysterious. Do you have any powers?”
It was an ambiguous question to ask if the eyes actually look unusual and if Skadi looks real.
However, it was surprisingly not Fallon who responded to this question, but Giart and Phrexia.
It’s not big, but it’s a little bit of agitation.
This showed that outsiders had something to keep secret.
“I have heard a lot of similar words from the old days.”
It was Fallon who did not answer directly and moderately looked around.
I wanted to ask a direct question about snow, but since the purpose was to talk about the main topic, I put it off until later.
“I’m going to use the privilege and tell you the purpose of coming here, is that okay?”
“Yes, lower.”
“I will check first. Is it right that the Matu people want this balance between the kingdom and the river demons not to be disturbed?”
It is a direction that can be generally guessed by examining the data, but it was a question because a definite answer was needed, not speculation.
However, I could see that he flinched at this question.
I couldn’t decide if this was because of the question or if it was a continuation of the agitation I had seen before.
Soon enough, Pauline, who captured the agitation, slowly opened her mouth to answer.
“you’re right. The Matu are second to none in prowess, but unfortunately they have the narrowest territories.”
That’s why I added that I’m reluctant to be in a situation where this balance collapses and I have to stick to one side.
In the past, they were the ones who resisted the giant family that ravaged the continent of Sigvarda.
Years have passed, but that spirit must still be maintained.
“Thank you for being honest. Then I should tell you my plans.”
Charleuk.
After taking out a simple map with the geographical names of Sigvarda Continent written briefly in his arms, he pointed it with his finger.
“I will connect these two territories, Illami and Rothstein, with a road.”
“… … !”
It wasn’t just Fallon who was surprised.
Not to mention Giart and Praxia, who were listening next to him, as well as Willwright, his mouth was wide open.
“It won’t be easy, but the preparations have been completed. The Rothstein family is already preparing, and the Marquis of Brisman is waiting for an answer.”
“If the answer is… … ?”
“I have said that I will step out immediately if the Matu answer that they do not object.”
“… … .”
“The justification for silencing the strong demons is also prepared. All that remains is the Matu tribe’s answer.”
To this, Fallon could not come up with an answer for a while.
Actually, I expected to be surprised when I heard about this plan, but I didn’t expect to be so worried… … .
‘I thought you would strongly oppose or rebel against it by looking at it negatively, but what is it?’
Was the exclusive attitude I had been exposed to information exaggerated?
No, considering the atmosphere when I entered the country, I don’t think so… … .
“Lowering.”
Fallon, who had not thought for a long time, spoke slowly.
“It seems difficult to answer right now.”
“Of course. I’m not here to hear an answer right now either. I just want to convey my thoughts.”
Originally, I expected opposition, persuaded, and prepared to bump into it, but because of that, I felt a little deflated.
“So I will set up a place to talk again in a few days. How are you?”
“Okay, I think I’d like that too. and… … .”
He stared into Fallon’s eyes again.
Those transparent light purple eyes that he said he met Skadi.
Since the purpose of delivering the plan has been achieved, the remaining questions must be resolved.
“I have something to talk to Altar Commander Fallon, so will all three of you leave?”
“… … Yes, lower.”
So the three of them got out of the joint.
Willwright greeted lightly and went up first.
As if she had waited, Praxia poured out the questions she had been enduring to Giart.
“Daejeonsa, I’m not riding for nothing right now, am I? Strange things are pouring in all at once.”
“… … I am of the same opinion.”
2 It was hard to hide my surprise when I saw the confrontation between the prince and Irandel.
To think that only a 3-star mage can fully utilize the magical energy to grasp the opponent’s magic… … .
This was difficult even for a well-trained 5-star wizard.
“To be honest, I thought the rumors about training by lower classes were just words. But it was my mistake.”
Even Phrexia, who is considered the next great wizard.
I didn’t understand the invisible magic used by the 2nd prince at the end.
Moving the ejection point arbitrarily and using it?
The idea is ingenious, but can it be realized?
The reason I followed after the confrontation was originally to ask about magic.
“By the way, the head of the altar was unusual, wasn’t it?”
“It did. there’s something… … .”
Because of that, he responded to the ordinary question of the 2nd prince about the power of his eyes.
The secret of the Altar leader’s power was a secret that only a small percentage of the Matu knew.
“And I don’t know if it’s a coincidence, but today’s conversation reminds me of the oracle from two years ago.”
“… … Yes, that’s right. That’s why I couldn’t readily answer the lowly plan.”
＜If you miss the time of change, you will not be able to avoid extinction.＞
It was an oracle given by the head of the altar, Pauline.
It was one of her powers, and recently, many opinions have been exchanged about this among the Matu people.
The claim that the time for this transformation is not talking about now.
The reason was the war that took place on the Feyer continent.
Concerns were also poured out that if you miss this trend of change, you might walk the path of extinction as the oracle said.
However, not everyone knew exactly what the oracle referred to as transformation.
As a result, there were also quite a few opinions that we should be cautious while looking at the surrounding situation.
“… … First, we need to gather the ministers and hold a meeting.”
* * *
“Meet the representative of God.”
When we were alone, Fallon bowed politely.
“An agent of God?”
“It means the spirit king that outsiders refer to.”
“… … You can see Skadi as expected.”
[The power that person possesses is probably the Spiritual Eye. It’s the first time I’ve actually seen it.]
Youngan.
It is known as the eye that can see the soul, and it was a power only found in literature.
“They say that the power you have is the Spiritual Eye, right?”
“you’re right. Even in the kingdom, no one except Her Majesty will know.”
“That’s where I was added.”
Fallon says they can see spirits, so they cover their eyes where there is a possibility of encountering an elemental lord.
In my case, it was unexpected because the level was only 3 stars.
“I heard that it is the power to see the soul, but is there anything else you can see besides Skadi?”
“… … I also see that you have a heteromorphic soul.”
“Is there anything else?”
“I don’t know what you are talking about.”
As explained, this one can see my soul.
In other words, I may know that I am not the original owner of this body.
‘… … There are more reasons to maintain good relations with the Matu.’
I also prepared for the case in case the Matu did not accept my proposal.
But since she knows this much about my secret, I need to change my strategy.
It’s not something to consider when you reject it, but to be on the same side somehow.
I couldn’t leave the possibility of leaking my information to others.
[You will look very foreign in the eyes of the author. It’s a low level, but it’s a contract with me, and there are traces left.]
‘trace?’
[It means that the traces of training accumulated in the previous life remain in the soul. That’s why you can still use transcendental magic.]
‘Then, does that mean the head of the altar can even know that?’
[Well, you must know that it is a soul that is different from your realm or life.]
‘… … Right.’
There would be no point in asking more than this.
Even though she has a position comparable to that of the head of the Matu tribe, she will think that there is nothing good about telling my secret.
‘Now that I think about it, it’s not just a matter of being surprised.’
I was planning to have a full-fledged conversation and proposal over time, but I decided to change my plan.
Whatever it is, you need to take the initiative and have a deep discussion.
“I have read about spiritual eyes in some books. In addition to seeing spirits, I saw that he had mystical powers there.”
“I will not deny it. I understand that you are wary of me.”
“hahahahaha, I heard you. I hope you understand, my secrets have been revealed one after another out of nowhere.”
I don’t know how far she can see my information.
It is visible that the three-star wizard signed a contract with the Spirit King.
It was incomprehensible just by looking at this, and it was natural to be wary of being caught.
“That’s why, all the more, I needed to make this job a success. I have a reason why I shouldn’t be with you guys.”
“… … .”
The outward meaning of what he was saying was an appeal to sympathy.
But it’s a situation where a secret that should be hidden is revealed.
It also contained the meaning of threatening that I did not know how I would come out if the relationship went wrong.
A person without notice would not notice, but the old man in front of him would not.
There are some things that can’t be ignored as they’re pushing to link the Rothsteins and the Illamis.
The person who tried to claim neutrality accidentally found out my secret, so it was rather difficult.
“With this incident, we will increase our national power and prepare for changes in the Feyer continent. At the same time, the isolated Illami estate will also develop greatly.”
He tapped the area of the Matu tribe marked on the open map with his hand and continued talking.
“I will make sure that the Matu people can also enjoy that abundance. It was my intention from the beginning, but since he knows my secret, I should.”
“… … .”
“Looking at the amount of logistics that the Matu have been accepting over the past few years, it seems that there is something internally wrong, but I don’t think it’s a bad thing.”
Apart from that, a few minor things were mentioned.
In the future, safety devices, including the content that he will take responsibility in case of conflict with the river demons.
That exchanges would exclude matters that could shake the roots of the Matu people and follow their wishes as much as possible.
“It’s embarrassing that my secret was revealed, but I think it worked out rather well. Doesn’t this reduce the fear of me betraying or changing my words?”
To put it mildly, Fallon is going to be under a lot of pressure.
If I pretend not to know this, I will not know how to come out of the crisis.
If it went well after accepting it, there could be a case of dealing with someone who knew the secret.
“My secrets are surprising and conspicuous; they are not necessarily things to be hidden, so I will reveal them someday.”
That’s why I added a word of reassurance.
What was actually true was that it was a secret that there would be no reason to hide once my foundation was stable.
Rather, it is a special feature that can expand its influence if revealed in a stable situation.
“Thank you for your sincere persuasion.”
“Thank you for saying that. I will wait for a good answer at the meeting.”
“No, there is no such thing. Will you accept my offer?”
… … I doubted my ears for a moment at the answer that was so firm.
It was the answer I had been waiting for, but I was rather confused by the answer that came out too easily than I expected.
“… … Are you serious?”
“However, there are three conditions.”
“Tell me.”
“I hope that you will accept the request as much as possible after reviewing it positively.”
“It will depend on the content, but I intend to accept it as much as possible.”
Fallon stopped talking for a moment and showed a light purple spirit.
Those eyes were on Skadi, not me.
“Please allow me to reveal to some of my compatriots the secret that you have made a contract with an agent of God.”
“… … I want to know why.”
“The reason is related to the third condition.”
Then Fallon bowed low.
I don’t know if it’s for me or Skadi.
“Please give strength to the Matu tribe, God’s representative.”
