Build a Human Empire by Creating Clans

chapter 5



On the other hand, humans were inferior beings, like animals, not humans.

Even as a dwarf, it would seem distasteful for such an existence to make a loud noise at a great ceremony and to devour elves.

Thanks to that, the atmosphere that had been ambiguous for a while went back to Laeragon’s thoughts.

‘Even if I think about it, I think I’m really smart.’

It’s a pity that he couldn’t slit Edar’s head.

If I could hit the neck, I would have hit it at once and received the ground.

I couldn’t do that because of that awkward atmosphere that my intuition warned me about.

“What should I do?”

show strength or retreat.

Gotava blew up again.

It was a different kind of pressure compared to the moment before, which was no different than a greeting.

Subsequently, Vlad added more magic power, and the ambassadors also increased their momentum.

The teacup placed in front of Edar trembled and the chandelier swayed.

‘how is it. Can you stand it?’

Laeragon also joined with a smile.

It was on a different level than when each one was pressuring.

Even Raeragon, who was pressuring him, became nervous about the energy that filled the meeting room.

If he had been pressed like this, he would have drawn his sword right away.

Or else I wouldn’t have been able to bear it without giving in.

Edar still had a calm expression, but that would soon break.

‘Success. inferior animal.’

When Laeragon smiles of repentance,

The space behind Edar shuddered.

“…!”

Everyone jumped up and rose from their seats.

Faced with an emergency, they prepared for the attack that would follow.

They surrounded Edar in a semicircle and touched each other’s weapons.

At their reaction, Edar raised the corners of his mouth and rested his chin on his pod.

A human figure was revealed in the shimmering haze.

“Transport?”

Someone was embarrassed and spilled their insides.

Laeragon raised his senses and calmly judged the situation.

‘idiot! It’s not space travel! I can’t feel the movement of magic.’

What if it’s not space travel?

As I thought about it, the hair all over my body stood on end and I got goosebumps.

‘Did you hide your presence!’

Laeragon inspected the intruder.

A man who is not dressed up for battle and looks like a desk bite.

The intruder, who was wearing a sword but was wearing a toga-like cloth over his clothes, stood motionless, scrutinizing the two besiegers with narrow eyes.

‘how?’

They were Laeragon, Gotava, Vlad, and those who had suffered numerous assassinations.

They were the ones who survived the assassination to the point where the assassin would reject the request.

It was possible for them to not feel someone’s presence when they were very far away.

It was impossible not to feel the presence at a distance where the nose could reach like now.

‘It appeared as if something that didn’t exist came into existence.’

Something that didn’t exist?

you made a man?

Is it possible to create life without a world tree or a god?

Laeragon kept an eye on the intruder, chastising himself for the stupid idea.

The long toga that came down to the floor drew attention.

‘How could you hide your presence like that? Could it be that he’s stronger than us?’

I couldn’t believe it, but it was the truth.

The fact that I didn’t know until the intruder came by and revealed his identity.

This was also the sound that Laeragon’s neck could fall without a mouse or a bird knowing.

The fact that the toga was inconvenient to hide one’s presence strongly encouraged such an idea.

Raeragon put his hand on his waist, ready to strike at any moment.

Gotava and Vlad also fixed their gaze on the intruder and prepared their posture.

“Griff.”

“Yes, Master.”

The intruder called Grif took a step closer and lowered his upper body.

Everyone flinched at the move.

“Is it an emergency?”

“yes.”

Edar murmured as he looked down at the map in high tension.

Edar was the only one sitting in the seat.

Edar was the only one who was calm without any tension.

“Tiamar’s seal is broken.”

“What…!”

Gotava opened his eyes and stuttered.

“T-Tiamar?”

Tiamar, the sealed dragon.

It was the name of a mighty and mad dragon that once nearly destroyed the world.

Now they are sealed deep in human territory and are in a deep sleep.

Was the seal of such a calamity broken?

‘How do you know that?’

Laeragon frowned.

How could he know that the seal was damaged?

No, how could they know about Tiamar and the seal in the first place?

Even among the different races, only a few knew Tiamar.

Only a few of them knew that Tiamar was sealed without dying.

Those in the representative system were a small part of it.

“······.’

Gotava’s eyes met.

The dwarf read Raeragon’s will and shook his head slightly.

‘Don’t do nonsense’, that was the will of Gotava.

‘sh*t.’

Edar thought for a moment as he tapped the table with his index finger before picking up the tobacco.

The house was set on fire at the beginning of the year by an intruder who burned his index finger.

Put it in your mouth, inhale deeply and exhale several times.

“It seems everyone is surprised. Don’t hide your presence and quietly stay by Calliope’s side.”

“All right.”

Edar let out the intruder and looked around at everyone who was still standing up.

“Disappointing.”

‘Disappointed? What the hell!’

My head was so complicated that I felt like I was going to have a headache.

After meeting Edar, unresolved questions continued to pile up.

What is the identity of the non-human aura, how do you know them, and how do you know Tiamar and know that the seal has been broken… Everything related to that human was full of questions.

If he had revealed even a little bit of the bottom, he would have jumped right in and asked.

I didn’t even think of that because there was an intruder who couldn’t feel the presence at all.

‘How much more, what are you hiding?’

“You have asked me if I have the power to have this land, but am I not the one to ask?”

“Are you asking? What do you mean!”

“Who is managing the seal of Tiamar? Aren’t you?”

Representative system is an organization to which all nations and tribes belong.

The jurisdiction of the representative system means that everyone who belongs to it will manage it.

If there is a problem due to insufficient management of the representative system, it is everyone’s fault.

“The seal has been damaged by your immaturity. Are you guys who can’t manage even one thing of your own right to ask me if I have the strength?”

Laeragon frowned.

“How can you believe that the seal is broken? It’s just a claim.”

“Can’t you check it out? Is it too far to go check it out? Then wait for me.”

“…”

Edar got up from his seat.

The ambassadors sitting next to them stunned and stepped back.

After sucking up the tobacco, he stabbed the map with the remaining scraps.

Chiik, the sound of burning and the smell of burnt maps emanated.

But it was quiet with no one saying anything.

“I will ask. Are you, who sealed it in the first place but can’t manage it, the right to own this land?”

I was speechless and unable to answer.

If, as Edar said, the seal of the dragon was damaged, it would be an immeasurable crisis.

The responsibility for causing the crisis was also bound to be heavy.

“Also, if what I am saying is true, it was I who saved you guys. Shouldn’t you guys be threatening me and giving me a fair reward?”

Many of these people here lived a very long time because they were not human.

For humans, history was an experience for them, and the dragon was one of those experiences.

The weight of the duty that was not responsible had to be different.

“So I think. The land I should have.”

Edar heard the beginning of the year when the map was taken.

The place under the tobacco was the settlement received from the Duke of Sudret.

The area occupied by the land on the map is at most a pinkie fingernail.

Edar spread his palm over it and pressed it.

“this much.”

An area dozens of times his own came into the palm of his hand.

“I should have this much.”

Everyone’s faces contorted.

Induction

In the palm of my hand, the jurisdictions of all countries belonging to the representative system were spread evenly.

Oroko Great Plain was as wide as its name.

It was only a part of the great plain covered with one palm.

Each area obtained by the participating countries of the representative system was much wider than the palm of my hand.

However, the voice that we must hand over the territory we ate at most is like a thunderbolt in the dry sky.

“Do you think it makes sense?”

Gotava lowered his voice.

“You are so arrogant!”

“Are you trying to fool me with words that I don’t know whether they are true or false!”

Seven, fourteen pupils stared at me as if they were going to pierce through.

Damn it, my heart was tingling because each one of them was ready to burst my heart with just a glance.

The numbness that would make you collapse if you let go of the tension has faded as a characteristic of an iron man.

I disguised the serenity that fell over my face with boldness.

‘If you show weakness, you will die.’

I figured out what Raeragon had been doing to get me to attend the ceremony.

I was bluffing, and if they judged me weak, they would try to kill me right away.

If it is not bluff, it will be suppressed by the power of the majority.

He is also a nobleman, a prince with the right of succession.

I am a human, and in his eyes, humans are just monkeys.

Having your land stolen by monkeys, your pride will not allow it.

‘I’m rolling my head in the grass.’

How many rounds did I go through in my previous life?

That crappy plan, I will take it back and return it.

“Didn’t you tell me? check it out If you check it, you will know the truth.”

“If not?”

Vlad stared at me with his eyes, even the pupils of which were red.

Because of the exposure of the past that only he knew about, he was stiff like an idiot.

Now he had calmed down and was glaring at me like he was going to kill me.

Sharp fangs flashed.

“If not, then that’s for you guys to think about. Do you need my opinion until then?”

“…”

I tapped the map.

“Instead, if it is true, I will take this land.”

“no! too many! You are asking too much for something like this!”

The old orc roared.

‘good. It worked.’

I listened to the orc’s tone and laughed inwardly.

Have you ever seen a person respecting a monkey?

Unconsciously, that orc respected me.

At least it means that they are considered equal.

My bluff is being eaten and I don’t look like an underling.

“Is it just something like this?”

He glared at the old orc while tightening his voice.

“Haven’t you learned what the dead dragon Tiamar is, old man? Are you saying that the dragon wasn’t a big deal?”

Laeragon, Vlad, and Gotava saw the old orc.

It’s as fierce as the eyes that were shot at me.

“Ah, no… I mean…”

Although he said he was old, the age of an orc is relatively young.

Because an orc’s lifespan is short.

If humans live a hundred years, orcs live half that.

Even that aged appearance would be only forty in human age.

On the other hand, the absolute strongest people in this position have a middle-aged appearance at best.

Even Raeragon, who is only a child in the elven society, is a generation that has actually seen and experienced evil dragons.

Long-lived tribes vividly remember long memories and engrave grudges more clearly.

‘The dragon, Tiamar. It’s a hidden boss that almost destroyed the civilization of this world.’

Originally, it is a super-large hidden boss that appears after seeing the ending.

In order to come out as a hidden boss, it is set to be sealed right now.

After the ending, the madmen who serve the dragons completely unseal the seal and run amok.

‘The worst of the content created for users who continue after seeing the ending. It was strong, but if you almost caught it, it would fly away and run away… I can’t even remember how many times I died without catching it.’

Did the setting book say that different races are more afraid of evil spirits?

‘The real scary thing about Tiamar is that his power makes the flow of magic around him impure.’

Impurity in the flow of magical power is like twisting the veins.

Twisted Mac means that mana is difficult to handle.

The more sensitive a race is to magical power, the more affected it is.

‘Ghosts are the most sensitive, followed by dwarves. Humans are the slowest race.’

There is no such thing as dying when the pulse is twisted.

However, when Tiamar was active, the magic impurity phenomenon was to the extent that she couldn’t use magic at all, and even after being sealed, it suppressed the magic around her, causing considerable discomfort.

Its impact reached half the world.

The Great Proposition made Tiamar not to come close to the sealed land until the seal made the dragon weak and the magic impurity disappeared.

‘Humanity was relatively safe from invasion and hunting because it settled in a sealed land. Due to his insensitivity to magic, his power is weak and he lives being hit by other civilizations, but he seems to benefit from it.’

The neutral zone pointed to the area where magical impurity phenomena designated by the representative system occur.

In recent years, the power of the four dragons has been rapidly declining, and the phenomenon of magical impurity has also been narrowed to the inland where humans have settled, and is disintegrating one by one.

Sooner or later, when Tiamar’s power was extremely weakened, the magic impurity would disappear even in the lands inhabited by humans, and a full-scale invasion would begin.

‘But if Tiamar wakes up before that, everything will go back to the beginning.’

If Tiamar is resurrected, the risk of destruction and the situation in which there is no answer will be reproduced, in which you have to leave the neutral territory you have occupied with your bare hands.

‘I gave you valuable information to stop it.’

I don’t know exactly when the dragon’s seal was broken.

I know it was damaged around this time and a double line was laid.

‘Damn it, I can see the virtue of repeating a lot of rounds here.’

The anger of the victims of the dragons who lost their hometowns, lost their families, or suffered deep wounds oppressed the old orc more intensely than it did a moment ago.

“Huh, huh… billion…!”

The old orc clutched his chest and bowed his head, trembling.

It’s like saying in front of the victims of the disaster created by the dragon that the damage wasn’t a big deal.

In terms of human beings, he wept like a child even though he was strong enough to be the king of a nation.

‘Hidden skill is the best among my hands, but having information that others don’t know is just as good as that.’

Information has a different weight depending on how it is used.

Knowing the existence of Tiamar.

Knowing what kind of existence Tiamar is to a different race.

Knowing that Tiamar’s seal has been broken.

With those three, I finished the conference hall’s initiative.

I scanned the faces of everyone in the conference room.

‘I was worried because it was before the main story started. It’s a relief that everyone knows him.’

Is it Tiamar only? I also knew about their past.

Because I have attended countless times in my previous life and have been entangled to become a civilized person.

He knew very well why the old orc was particularly trembling and opposed.

Part of a mountain range in the realm of the palm of my hand.

Some of them were worthless to other races, but valuable to the pigs in their own way.

So, greed made a mistake beforehand.

‘At first, I was thinking of shouting loudly and yielding little by little. Looking at the atmosphere, I don’t think it’s necessary. If the momentum goes over to me, it’s easy after that.’

It was effective to know the tendencies of the guys from previous life experiences.

It was not difficult for me, who had already experienced numerous episodes, to know what the opponent would be most interested in, what to receive if I threw it, who would react and how to stop it.

‘Laeragon, who should’ve voted against it, got a shot at Calliope, and the rest of the things that should have tested me seem to have been tricked into bluffing. very good.’

I remembered the family I created while solving Tiamar’s secret just before.

‘I wouldn’t have thought that he didn’t hide his presence, but made a family on the spot.’

My throat must have been quite chilly.

The reason why he listened intently was not simply because of the dragon, Taimar.

It must have been thanks to the added illusion that I could aim for the neck at any time.

‘This is why misunderstandings are scary. Even enemies that don’t exist will make it themselves.’

What would be the reaction if a being who prides himself as an absolute strongman faces an unknown figure who does not feel a presence and knows a secret that only a few know?

It doesn’t matter if the level is low.

I am the only one in this world who can see the level.

Regardless of whether it is a member of one’s family, a human, or a different race, the means to grasp the strength of an opponent are experiences and feelings.

Did people in this place have the experience of meeting someone like me, or could they realize that I was bluffing by feeling.

I saw neither.

‘I’m fed up with you guys provoking and grasping opponents with pressure. At that time, I had to resist only with the level, so it worked. Now I have iron man traits.’

In a situation where the means to grasp the opponent without fighting are limited, when that means is destroyed, only misjudgment remains.

I had summoned my family at that time.

It didn’t matter if a strong player like Calliope did not appear.

The accident was already confused because of me.

My family and I could share thoughts, so we could exchange information in an instant without opening our mouths.

‘Calm down, don’t be alarmed. Tell them that Tiamar’s seal is broken’, was a very easy thing to say.

“In the first place, shouldn’t you orcs protect what you have instead of expanding the land?”
