74 – This is God’s billion!
Completed incomplete quest for the first time since coming to this world.
Watching that, I couldn’t help but have a twinge of self-consciousness in my heart.
‘F*ck… I’m not kidding with anyone… No, then you’re saying that I should have called an angel at least in that situation and made a fuss?’
To be honest, I felt a little uncomfortable.
The attitude of the god of death seemed to be trying to hide something.
If I really exerted the power of a god there and applied pressure by summoning angels…
Perhaps, by revealing something he had been hiding, he might be able to lead the negotiations more favorably to our rebels.
But.
It was literally a story that could only be possible after pretending to be crazy and taking drugs to the fullest.
In the first place, the subject of the conversation was not me, but Congressman Benjamin, and it could be said that it was quite dangerous just to speak that much.
In common sense, it was too risky in many ways to play a simple escort role, even if I, who had just switched to this side after being in the Empire, would break the meeting if I made a fuss at that moment, and at the same time, I didn’t feel the need to do so. couldn’t
Anyway, just making the story flow that way was enough to achieve our goal of alliance.
‘But what? express regret? No, that’s enough. What more do you want to do here? Hasn’t this Godhead ever had a social life? There are times when people step out and there are times when they don’t… What’s the point of lowering recovery by 80% with that?’
While expressing dissatisfaction with the current situation, which no matter how much I think about it,
I couldn’t help but think that the future situation would be more than just a bad feeling.
Honestly, thanks to this buff, I was able to use divine power without any burden in large-scale battles.
Nevertheless, all of the attack skills that originally used the aura could not be used like water as the fuel efficiency was backward… Now that those buffs were weakened, that meant that even that wasn’t easy.
To be honest, it’s just a pity in many ways that it has become impossible for me, who has been actively playing around to the point of being overdeserved for a paladin.
But,
Apart from these risks, I wasn’t particularly desperate.
‘What the heck… In fact, if you look closely, it’s been a scam so far.’
Although it was a buff that I had been receiving every time there was a big battle after I fell in this world, I felt uncomfortable in many ways about relying too much on it.
The buff itself was fraudulent, and above all, it was not given as a skill, but a time-limited power, so it was always predicted that the power obtained through such ‘doping’ would someday show its limits.
In addition, since I officially became the Knight Commander at just the right time, I had been constantly recruiting useful people.
Although it is not as good as the Imperial Knights of the past, my own abilities have improved considerably, so if I use them well, it is possible to generate more power than at least in the game.
‘In the first place, it was funny for a healer-born to fight while exploding his attack skills like this… In a way, I just went back to where I was supposed to go.’
Apart from such regret, I decided not to dwell on this any longer, and after seeing off the envoys, I got on the carriage back to Franklin’s mansion.
and right after that.
Senator Benjamin looked at me and said with a calm smile.
“It’s been a lot of hard work. Thanks to you, we were able to conclude an alliance with the Franz Kingdom without much difficulty.”
“no. Rather, I am sorry for stepping out of the way in that situation.”
“That’s not true. In that situation, you don’t know how grateful I am for your timely talk.”
He said that in politics, there are times when you have no choice but to remain silent, even though there is something to be pointed out.
In particular, this is not an easy part if it is a very sensitive situation called diplomacy between the two countries.
In that respect, Congressman Benjamin was expressing his gratitude, saying that my words at the time were quite helpful.
Contrary to ‘God’s harsh evaluation of my actions.
“Honestly, I was a little worried when I only heard the story. As a father, I am truly fortunate… ”
“Mr.”
“Well… Well… ”
Senator Benjamin stopped what he was trying to say while clearing his throat at General Franklin’s words.
Unlike when he had a steady conversation with the envoy of Franz Kingdom,
Watching his awkward attitude again, I began to feel a deep curiosity about what happened between these two again.
“ah… Anyway, things went well, so let’s enjoy tonight’s banquet. Since the commander-in-chief is supposed to participate even after he wakes up, I’m going to say hello.”
“Yes? Are you saying that the commander-in-chief is also participating?”
“Yes, fortunately, the situation on the front line was quickly sorted out, and above all, considering the meaning of the alliance with the Franz Kingdom, it would be the right thing for him to participate as well.”
“That… okay… Grandmaster… ”
At Benjamin’s words, I couldn’t help but look quite surprised.
Rebel Grand Marshal George W Thington.
In fact, he was mentioned as the final boss of this work, and he actually came out as the final boss of the last chapter, and despite being an enemy to defeat, he was quite popular among users.
He has excellent skills and a personality worthy of being praised more than that.
Through this, the existence that has firmly maintained the rebel forces against the mighty Imperial Army.
Above all, in the last chapter, which is evaluated as dog trash, in fact, along with the battle with Franklin, Marshal George showed the best boss battle in terms of decorating the end.
Even in a hopeless situation, he bought time so that his subordinates could escape, and he stubbornly held out against the imperial army alone.
Although there was a sense of being buried by the bloody attack that took place right after that, nevertheless, the end of Grand Marshal George left a deep impression on the minds of users including me in many ways.
‘In that respect, I really wanted to see you once… I never thought the opportunity would come this soon.’
It was Grand Marshal George who had been on the front line not too long ago, and I was sorry for this, but at this point I thought I had no choice but to give up on seeing him.
But the fact that he was showing up for tonight’s banquet began to set me in high anticipation.
“So, let’s have a good time today.”
“Yes, Senator. I will.”
At Benjamin’s words, I answered with a smile full of anticipation.
But.
At that moment, I couldn’t care less.
Looking at me happily talking to the congressman like that, I see General Franklin with a slightly uncomfortable expression…
*
“Now that it is so, please allow both of you to attend.”
“I get it. I will follow your orders.”
“I… Are you sure you’re okay? Even if someone like me participates in such a place… ”
Seri Tiekuna and Jane McCree show opposite reactions to my request to attend the banquet together.
Unlike the tax collector who accepted with the attitude of a soldier obeying orders, I spoke in a light voice while seeing Jane who looked quite hesitant.
“You don’t have to be so nervous. After all, it’s a banquet to celebrate the alliance. The two of you can simply participate as my adjutant and enjoy it to the fullest. If you have a chance, try flirting with a good person.”
“I hate that. I’m just going to stay by my master’s side.”
“Um… it’s kinda… ”
Se-Ri, who cut off her refusal to my continued words, and Jane, who looked a bit embarrassed.
I meant to relax, but feeling that the atmosphere had become a little weirder because of this, I cleared my throat slightly awkwardly and said,
“Well… Well. ah… Anyway, feel free to go. As you know, the rebels carry the banner of liberty, that all men are equal. Of course, basic courtesy must be respected, but there is no need to be too rigid.”
“… I get it.”
“ah… Okay. I will obey Mr. Cromwell’s words.”
The two of them accept with an uncomfortable feeling until the end.
Seeing them like this, I felt that it was not as easy as I imagined to do a simple favor, as I am in the same position as the owner who has to take care of them personally.
‘It’s on a different level in many ways than when I take my juniors to the club… Maybe it’s because the times are like this?…’
While thinking about that, I somehow saw two people with pouty expressions staring at my face…
In particular, seeing Se-Ri, who was showing the feeling of an angry female leopard, unlike her usual expressionless face, she had no choice but to avoid her gaze.
“… stupid master… ”
