Aftermath (5)
The torches lit up all over the place trembled in surprise.

On the other hand, Lofi, who was quietly stretching, got up and ran to me.
– Miyao
“…for black magic only, yes?”
While I asked blankly, the Crown Prince staggered over and pushed me outside.
‘Kyeung!’ Demi, Perry, and Leia rolled over the pile of broken bricks.
It’s good that they seem to be having fun, but since there’s no way Shinsoo is good at black magic, he nodded in a hurry and took the children in his arms.
Ga-in also came this way with her tie-dye in a swaddling bag.
Djibril Dioff glanced at me, took out his wand and began to perform the magic ceremony. Ji-ying-!
“In an explosive mix.”
Sedric, who saw it, mounted a horse.
We, who were not acquainted with magic, were busy taking care of the horses that rolled their hooves.
Among them, Reum, who found the crystal ball first, gave a lot of praise and swept the nape of her neck.
Meanwhile, Charlemagne gently pushed Ga-in and me with their heads.
‘Purreung.’ It was dangerous, so I meant to turn it off. The behavior is really the same as that of the owner.
“What are the trigger conditions?”
“Simply.”
“Yes, I will take orders.”
-Paaa…
The lightning wizard replied to his uncle no matter what.
François, who was already holding the mace, was talking with the prince with a serious face in the world.
What about the conditional magic formula and how the crystal ball works, whether it’s storage or injection?
Duckshim sat on the crown prince’s crown and put a beep-pi-po-hunsu.
Admiral Corleone, striding from below, looked at the situation and let out a gasp.
“… it’s black magic. You did a good job outside of the black market.”
As for the Yeri black market crash, she must have heard of it.
I fed him an ether orb and answered calmly.
“It seems that black magic is one of the driving forces of Duke Sneijder. He has not been able to create paladins until now, and there is a clear limit to the number of paladins born naturally. However, those in power who divide the political world cannot openly increase the size of the enlisted army. Magic is a socially oppressive atmosphere, so instead, he nurtured his power underground with black magic. It would have been easier for him to steer him at will.”
– Chop Chop Chop
“huh.”
Then the Admiral snorted lowly, pulled out a cigar box and looked up at the sky.
There was neither a blue dawn nor a red morning in the sky where the sun did not rise.
It was said that he could be safe here with the power of the four dragons, but the fact that the weather was getting colder was definitely everyone’s concern.
How is His Majesty Frederick, who would have had a birthday without us, and where His Majesty Aurelie is?
All the other friends of the emperor were worried about how they were doing. It’s still the middle of winter…
“Even so, it is not easy for a person to control a person’s vitality. I can’t even imagine doing something like this even on the twin islands out of the reach of Goddess. Black magic is a felony that violates humanity. Sneijder is an unforgivable sinner even if he dies.”
“·················ogue.”
“why. Didn’t you know I’d say something like this?”
‘Whoa.’ After exhaling the first smoke, she looked back at me with a bald expression.
In the darkness without even the moon, only traces of the admiral’s poetry were rising white.
For an instant, his gray-green eyes lit up with a languid light. For some reason, my cheeks felt a little warm.
You just looked pretty…
“Wicked, really! Don’t smoke in the presence of others. If you want to give me citizenship of the Empire, learn how to be considerate of non-smokers! I have babies.”
-slap!
“Ahh. It was a mast.”
Tuk! A cigarette fell on the floor and died without passing the second sip to the owner.
Ga-in picked it up coldly, gave it to the admiral, and warned him to throw it away properly.
Perry cried ‘Kee, Kee,’ and protested together.
I caught a glimpse of the wizards who were having a heated discussion, then headed back to the tent with the jars of love.
I had a feeling I don’t know why.
Black magic exclusive crystal ball…
*
The next day, the area around the chamber grew even busier.
Since the sun did not rise, people’s biorhythms were gradually confused.
The whole world was black and I felt like I was sinking into the deep sea.

Or the feeling of being completely confined in a large box.
“My lord, please take a step back.”
“Oh, yes.”
“Power, torch ready!”
Without any exaggeration, it really seemed to have become a dotegi market.
The area around the meeting room, which was packed with tents, was busy as if there was a large oil field.
After all, the population here is now well over a thousand!
“The second cremation begins!”
“Initiate!”
-Hurry up…!

On the other hand, the Imperial Marines (passionate sailors of the Versace) who came from the south of Atsuma were doing the burial of those who died during the Battle of the Guild Chamber.
Under the torches lined up in two rows, all the dead were in the hands of Baron Atsuma.
All the body collection was carried out by His Majesty Stanislas and Sir John, and the last sacrament was performed by me, albeit clumsily.
Bells were swung, as we had seen at Lister’s camp once—there were no bells, so crystal bells were used.
Joan worked hard to help me, but he grunted at me, asking why I had to even hold funerals for the bad guys.
Then Grandpa laughed and said: ‘You are right.’
‘But if we have to come, will they not send the Lister youngsters to where you led them? right?’
‘··········.’
‘What should I do if I hold a grudge against someone who is already dead? Inevitably, only our souls will become heavy. That is the fear of war.’
It was the realization of the one who had been wandering in a distant land for a long time.
We’ve replayed his story many times.
– Tap, tap, tap…
“Hey, no, my lord Juliet. The students who went out to reconnaissance in the direction of Yeongjuseong have returned.”
hot.
“Miss Tess.”
I quietly watched the crematorium and turned around.
The second most populous group here were all the staff and students of Bada Yong Military Military School, who came down from Bareun for support.
Next to Tess, Corey, the class leader of 3rd grade, was standing with her back.
When the group of beasts attacked the North Sea, I remembered that this child led her classmates well and was not seriously injured.
I heard a story about a hero who said he caught five Yogwi Flamingos alone.
His tanned skin and wide shoulders were reassuring.
“Corey, you’ve been there. Are there any injuries?”
“······Yes. Oh, thank you for your concern.”
The child stuttered and bowed. I flinched while secretly looking into my eyes.
I smiled bitterly and waved my hand. I didn’t mean to say hello.
In fact, the first two hours were a melting pot of chaos.
Lena and other teachers had already heard the explanation from Tess, but there was no way they could just accept the prince and party of the enemy country.
Even Tess, who lived with us through life and death, was shocked, so it must have been even more difficult for others.

Of course, they didn’t fight or resist here—but they can’t beat the Sword Master, the three 8th-level wizards, and the three paladins at any cost—but seeing them trembling in fear and anxiety didn’t make me happy.
Every time the dragon, who had swung around the chamber, looked at them and tilted his head, some of the teachers were stunned.
In addition, Baron Atsuma’s subordinates, who had regained consciousness, often shouted from the tent, and the students glanced at us in surprise.
I thought maybe they dragged him inside and tortured him (although they were screaming because of the pain).

Of course, Frederic Lister’s son has been constantly receiving leadership training for times like this.
‘·········The Lister Empire has no intention of killing or persecuting you. No, rather, we want to protect and support you so that you can live a better life. May you know that what we want from you is cooperation, not submission.’
Prince Sedric looked up at those around him and said dignifiedly.
‘If you surrender, I will help you without attacking you. Providing food and supporting damage recovery and medical staff. In honor of His Majesty the noble emperor, the construction of the breakwater and the semi-permanent magic construction for the defense of the demons will also be carried out. There is no unreasonable requisition in this process.’
‘··········.’
‘This is the promise of the heir to the throne.’
Then, a group of about 100 members of the Marine Military Academy looked at Lena, the head of the student, calmly.
For a moment, carrying a burden too heavy, she looked back at her colleagues and did not know what to do.
If anyone is in such a situation, it will be dizzying and difficult.
Because she was neither the lord of Barun nor the principal of a military school.
‘·······I will surrender.’
The answer flew in from the south, not from Lena’s lips.
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound.
‘My God, Confucius!’
‘count!’
And half of them covered their mouths behind their backs.
Confucius Shem, who had brought Alain, a participant in the secret experiment, to his hometown, came back alone and stood in front of us.
While not seeing him, he exuded a much more mature atmosphere.
What had happened was that his coat and boots were all covered in mud, and his clothes were ripped and his knees and elbows were nowhere to be found.
He had a mature impression before, but Sembarun now feels like an adult who has experienced and digested a lot of things.
He made a respectful new state-style ceremony for the imperial prince.
‘········The lord may not forgive me, but I want my people to forgive me. So we will surrender together. Please accept it.’
Then he loosened the scabbard on his waist and set it down on the ground.
The situation was settled when François, the prince’s representative, picked it up.
Everyone who followed Confucius Shem, including all students and staff at the Marine Military Academy, was officially protected by the Imperial Army.
Alain said that he left for the Yeri safely with his nephew Brandi.
Did you hear that the Lister garrison there was accepting refugees?
This is what happened until around lunchtime today.
“How was it near the Bareun Youngjuseong Fortress? Is the sky dark there too?”
I asked with the most gentle expression and soft voice possible.
Class leader Cory swallowed the dry saliva.
“Yes, it is equally black beyond the sea. In fact, I couldn’t even get close to Yeongjuseong. There were a lot of fires, so I thought classmates would be in danger if I went deeper.”
“Is there a fire? Near Yeongjuseong?”
Those words surprised both Tess and I.
In the letter from the Werner government, there was clearly a warning that he would use force to bring Atsuma into submission.
But at the time of the entrance, the military can’t even see the nose, and what kind of fire is there in the territory surrounded by the sea?
“Yes. I don’t know what’s going on, but smoke rose from the inside of Yeongju Castle. The west gate seen from our side was completely locked, and from afar, knights were running around on horseback with their swords drawn. Some soldiers ran away, and I saw people in old clothes running barefoot. please······.”
“please?”
“It looked like a war broke out in the castle.”
The youth looked at us in turn and whispered. I exchanged glances with Tess.
“Something has gone awry.”
“Oh my God, is the lord wrong?”
“······no. If that was the case, it would have been an opportunity for ‘Bozena’. However, if the order of the lord’s castle was broken in any way, it would be at a disadvantage for him as well. No one can come to power when things are out of control.”
I quickly cleared things up.
It would have been difficult to come to this conclusion if I didn’t know Berner Penetian well, but now I know the bastard a bit.
Guk-seo was nothing if he had no one to support him.
He gained strength by parasitizing someone else’s power each time.
Whether it was power or magic…
It digs in like a flea to extract energy, and after achieving what he wanted, he threw the host away without any regrets.
He didn’t seem interested in the downfall or death of the host.
he was such a human
“then······.”
Then, this time, it must be said that the host first collapsed due to other factors before it became a wish.
I’m sure I’ll try to run away again.
no problem
“We must deploy the Imperial Navy on the road going south from Yeongjuseong. I’ll have to send my courage and check how far the North Sea Fleet has come. I can’t decide how to use the military, so I’ll have to tell the Crown Prince and the Admiral…”
That was then.
“uh?”
– Full!

Over there, someone rushed out from Baron Atsuma Edda’s tent and fell over!
“Ahhh!”
“Princess Francisca?”
I raised my voice in surprise. The child was tired and full of tears.
“Oh, mother! Something strange is coming out of my mother’s body! Please help me!”
······what?
“green······! The sticky green energy just comes out and gets sucked into the marble!”
The girl cried out in a suffocating voice.
Djibril Dioff followed from the tent and quickly swung his staff.
