Chapter 246
Episode 246:
Ahar, the traitor of humanity.
He did not die even with a sword stuck in his heart.
He moved with his heart broken.
He was moving to survive, but at the end he lost strength and collapsed.
Even though he shed a person’s worth of blood, he is still alive and does not die.
The emperor and kings did not kill him on the spot, but had him captured.
Public execution of traitors to humanity.
It can be most effective for people who have been at war for a long time and are filled with fatigue, anger, and all kinds of negative emotions.
The reason they had a hard time.
The culprit who caused their family to die and lose everything.
It makes them feel better that they can publicly watch him being executed.
The only surviving kings were what the emperor wanted.
Ahar was captured and the monsters were scattered.
There were only two reasons why humanity was pushed back by monsters.
Unity and Ahar.
Ahar is the focal point that allowed monsters to unite regardless of race.
But this time, when Ahar was caught, both causes were solved at once.
“Where did he go anyway?”
“…I don’t know either. “We are in a very difficult situation because our top contributor has disappeared.”
Baan became the emperor of the empire.
Under his leadership, the kings of each country gathered and held a meeting.
To be honest, he is the emperor and king.
Now that the war had brought them together and most of their territory had been taken over by monsters, they were like a king and his subjects.
They simply use the word king because their pride does not allow it.
However, it is not difficult to see that it will come together before long.
The words emperor and king no longer had meaning to them as they lost their territory and came together.
We need to decide on a leader, but…
“Your Majesty, I guess…”
“Your Majesty…”
“I think it’s a good idea. your majesty.”
The kings already recognized that they were under Baan.
It was inevitable that other kingdoms were under the empire from the beginning.
However, in this war, the army that had maintained the balance was lost.
Naturally, the empire was not without damage.
But the problem is that Serion, the second most powerful country after the Empire, has merged with the Empire.
There was a lot of damage from the war, and above all, the merger went smoothly after rumors spread that the emperor of the empire and the first princess of the Serion Kingdom had a close relationship.
From the beginning, it was as if the ending had already been decided when the crown prince of the Kingdom of Serion died in the war.
An empire that possesses every sword master on the continent.
Only he can rule over all.
After the war, Baan quickly repaired the damage caused by the war.
The seven sword masters who fought against Ahar became heroes.
No, there are exactly 6 warriors.
“Have you found him yet?”
“Unfortunately, they said they couldn’t even find a trace of it.”
“We’re still looking, so don’t worry too much.”
The person who played the biggest role in catching traitors on the continent.
The protagonist of the war who delivered the final blow to Ahar and ultimately led to victory.
He disappeared as soon as the war ended.
Naturally, the entire continent was bound to go into an uproar.
People were sensitive to the existence of heroes.
Since they are fascinated by what they see, they cannot help but react greatly to the disappearance of a hero who performed the greatest feat in the war.
“Today’s meeting ends here. “First of all, we need to be careful about how we treat heroes.”
“All right.”
“See you next time, Your Majesty.”
The kings bow their heads like ministers and leave the Great Hall.
When everyone had left, Baan, who was left alone, relaxed and leaned back on the throne.
He sighed heavily and washed his face dry.
“Haa… Raymond, where on earth have you gone?”
I was very happy when the war ended.
I thought that the worst, long, dirty and ugly war was finally over.
And he was happy to see himself as an emperor when everything was over.
But that joy was short-lived and I was so embarrassed when I heard that Raymond had suddenly disappeared.
Even if he pretended not to, Baan was receiving help from Raymond and was relying on Raymond knowingly or unknowingly during the war.
I also planned to provide sufficient compensation after the war.
For the man who made him emperor and ended this shitty war, he was willing to grant all his demands unless it meant giving up his position as emperor.
“Raymond, why on earth did you leave?”
It never occurred to me that I was dead.
It doesn’t even look like he’s dead.
Rather than imagining that he had died, it was more convincing that the emperor himself was attacked and killed while walking down the street.
“I’ll wait. “I have received a lot from you and I must repay it.”
So please come back anytime.
***
Two years have passed since the war ended.
A continent increasingly seeking peace. People were gradually losing their sense of tension, but unlike those people, there were people who moved around while maintaining their sense of tension.
After the war ended, a rumor circulated around the continent.
A group of people is crossing the entire continent.
Four women and three men.
“I don’t think it’s here either.”
“Yes… Where on earth have you gone?”
“It would be nice if you just stayed alive.”
“He will be alive. “It’s not like he’s going to go somewhere and get beaten to death.”
Millennium Count, no, Gerard and Selina Beatrice Ellis Mahol Arjuna Reina who have now given up their count title.
People who had a close relationship with Raymond.
They have been looking for Raymond ever since he disappeared.
Even though his heart was pierced by Ahar, this is what he looked like until now.
His regenerative power was enormous. Even if a limb is torn, it can be regenerated in just a day.
Moreover, everyone here now knew that there was a dragon next to Raymond.
I thought that in order for Gerard to find Raymond, he needed to share everything about Raymond.
But just because the dragon was with him didn’t mean he believed he was alive.
Although a dragon, Reems is a hatchling.
A force as powerful as an adult dragon did not have magical powers.
Nevertheless, there was only one reason why they were walking around believing that Raymond was alive.
“The dragon’s recovery magic can be seen as equivalent to the miracles performed by God.”
This is because Gerard, the Grand Wizard of the 9th Circle, proved it.
He gave a guarantee. He showed confidence.
Since no one knew more about dragons than the Archmage, I had no choice but to believe what he said.
“That damn recovery magic is more powerful than the recovery I used.”
It is said that Riems’ recovery magic can fill the hole in Raymond’s heart.
It’s not just about believing those words and moving on.
The most important reason was that his body was missing.
Even if it was eaten by a monster, it makes no sense for it to not have even a single piece of flesh.
That means Raymond escaped.
But I couldn’t figure out why it had disappeared.
What is the reason? No, it would have been better if you had told me first.
They searched even harder for Raymond, feeling betrayed and sorry for not being able to protect him.
***
A town on the outskirts that is slowly being restored.
The tavern there was crowded with mercenaries who were taking out monsters at the request of the country.
“Kyaha! “I heard the beer here is delicious no matter what time you drink it!”
“I caught two trolls this time!”
The mercenaries’ voices filled the tavern.
Their voices were very excited.
A face that looks happy because peace has come to the continent.
Squeak –
As the commotion of the mercenaries was filling the tavern, the rusty door hinges opened and a man came inside.
Deeply pressed hood and robe.
Strangely enough, it feels like one of his shoulder, which has nothing on it, is being weighed down by something heavy.
But no one noticed anything strange while looking at it.
“hmm…?”
“what?”
The mercenaries near the door frown at the man’s appearance.
There was a foul smell coming from the man who came inside.
It was the smell of sweating and not washing for months.
The mercenaries, who momentarily frowned at the overwhelming smell, turned their heads and ignored it for a moment.
It didn’t seem very strange to them either.
This happens often when you walk around outside for a long time trying to catch monsters.
“Here’s a glass of dark beer and a whole pig.”
“Ah yes. All right.”
The waiter glances and nods.
The man finishes ordering and looks around.
The mercenaries’ glances at him caught his attention for a moment.
As he was about to pass his gaze, an interesting conversation caught his ear.
“Hey you. I know that?”
“what?”
“The amount has increased again this time.”
“Oh, that hero?”
“Oh, right. “It rose to a whopping 50 million gold.”
“Wow… with 50 million gold, I could play for the rest of my life and make a living for three generations.”
“50 million gold is enough to sustain a small or medium-sized city for three years.”
One being is mentioned in the mouths of the mercenaries.
The man listens to their voices.
“But honestly, isn’t it worth it?”
“That’s right. “We are looking for one of the seven heroes.”
“I don’t like the country in the first place, but I really like how things have been handled this time. This is how it should be. “If they said they treated heroes poorly, if they didn’t even try to find him, they wouldn’t have stayed quiet.”
“I’m sure you’re not the only one. That goes for me and other guys as well. Isn’t that right?!”
One of the mercenaries turned around and shouted, and the mercenaries who were paying attention to their conversation said, ‘That’s right!’ ‘That’s true!’ I agreed.
Sigh – The man lets out a faint laugh as he looks at that.
Like a person who sees an interesting situation in an unexpected place.
He laughed and nodded while listening to what the mercenaries said… he was amused by their words.
“For our hero!”
“We will find a hero!”
The mercenaries raise their glasses high and toast.
The man watched their every move carefully and quickly ate the food in front of him.
It was so fast that it was hard to think that he was eating alone.
Sometimes a fish appears in the air and disappears in an instant.
Seeing the teeth marks, it was clear that there was something there.
But no one paid attention to him and did not see the scene.
The man who finished all his food stands up.
As soon as he wakes up, a waiter comes up to him and asks if he ate well.
“Calculate here.”
The man hands her a bag.
As she tilts her head and opens her pocket, her complexion turns pale and hardens for a moment.
“Calling everyone here and tips for the rest.”
“This is too much…! uh? “Where did you go?”
She looks around in confusion.
Before I knew it, the man who handed me the bag had disappeared.
She hurried out of the bar and looked around, but couldn’t see even the slightest trace of the man.
She looked inside and outside her pockets with trembling eyes and returned to the bar with a confused look on her face.
The man who was watching this from afar burst into laughter.
-Are you going to go back soon?
“That’s right. I’ve been wandering around for too long.”
A pure white dragon hatchling appeared, and the man nodded and smiled at his words.
I look forward to seeing the faces of people waiting for me.
