I Am a Low-Class Aristocrat of a Perishing Country

3 – Worst First Encounter (3)

“Wait, stop moving!”

“Hut!”

Illelpi was about to enter the Great Cavity. I hurriedly called her over, but her elf-like response was her masterpiece.

Isn’t it jumping up and down like a cat as if it heard the roar of a beast?

Her hand stays near her scabbard so that she can unleash the sword at any time, and the appearance of Ir Elfi, who spreads her senses regardless of front and rear, boasted the aspect of the strongest.

Now, she shows the appearance of a knight leader who can’t find her clumsy side at all.

‘The reason I can recognize this is because I am the body of Netion Peace, right?’

I knew she wouldn’t dispel her suspicions, but if she was this outspoken, she’d have to think differently.

“Don’t move, speak on the spot.”

“That, that’s…”

Decisions and reversals were repeated dozens of times even while words were muffled. The tension coming from the survival instinct rather reduced the efficiency of brain rotation and made the answer difficult.

‘Shall we fight? With the power of Netion Peace, somehow…’

However, you conclude that it is your worst behavioral pattern.

‘There’s no way I can win. The power of Irlp is literally the foul play itself. Besides, as I don’t even know Netion Peace’s specs, I can’t stand it.’

When entering the battle, I strongly intuit that it will be difficult to miss the ending of being resealed while being caught in the middle of the battle.

I presented another route inside.

‘… Should I run away?’

This body is immortal. If we gave up fighting altogether and evacuated just a few pieces of meat, we might be able to regenerate it over time.

‘But is it possible? It will definitely regenerate at least 5 minutes, but common sense makes it impossible to imagine that a piece of meat will be reconstructed into a whole body.’

This is also a risky gamble because we do not know the exact specifications of the netion piece.

‘Damn it!’

No matter how many times you try, you can’t get out of the swamp of multi-bad endings. I wish I could devise it like this, but time flows helplessly.

In the end, I was forced to answer.

“So… Well, nice to meet you. Actually, I’m a netion piece, right?”

Desperately puts on a bright smile. You just have to lower your guard a little bit-.

“Ouch…!”

But I couldn’t speak any further. The moment he admitted his identity, Ir Elfi’s prayers were transformed in an instant.

I felt as if my whole body had been thrown into the sea of Geomsando, and my consciousness felt as if it would fly far away. It was the limit of forcibly squeezing and holding on to the strength of the legs.

It was a transcendent life.

‘I was intending to run away if the negotiations didn’t work out, and if that didn’t work, I’d try to fight… But I made a mistake!’

Escape? I sat down with some extravagant thoughts. The moment I am exposed to death, I can only stand on my own two legs?

My body was Netion Peace, but my soul was just a mediocre gamer in a peaceful world. I had forgotten such an obvious fact.

During the time I was trapped in the Great Void, the boundary between me and Netion Peace collapsed, and I became arrogant without even realizing it.

When I thought about the plan of escaping with pieces of meat, it didn’t make sense.

‘I’m going to have seizures even if my hand is cut by the corner of the paper, and I’ll endure the sword attack until I’m reduced to pieces of meat? Will I have reason left after that?’

Maybe I’ll go crazy. No, that’s for sure.

Now, even during this agony, the life of the IrLP was tightening my soul in real time.

“Kuh… Wait… Illelpi, wait. I… I can explain everything…!”

“It’s useless if you’re trying to bewitch me with a strange sound. A mental attack once applied to me won’t work again.”

‘When did I say that I had a mental attack?’

Irlp’s hand is getting closer and closer to the handle of the sword. The reason why he didn’t treat me the moment he revealed his identity is probably because he thinks of me as a real nobleman.

She will exercise prudence in preparation for her unforeseen headwinds. I don’t know if it’s a game, but in reality, David beats Goliath.

Ir Elfi must be aware of that.

“Ireelfi Yustiha, Commander of the Knights of Nelfrugia. I will honor the emperor and punish the evildoers.”

As Ir Elfi lowered her posture, she gave off a presence like a majestic giant rock. Her lower body was reminiscent of an old tree rooted firmly in the earth and living for a thousand years.

It was when Ir Elfi and I met each other’s eyes.

Wedge juice!

A sharp piercing sound was heard.

I didn’t even know what had happened. It was the story right before I realized that Ir Elfi’s sword had been pulled out before I knew it.

I couldn’t judge the situation and looked around. Then, all of a sudden, her body lost her sense of balance, tilted to one side, and collapsed with a crash.

Tuduk.

Her left arm and left leg, which had lost her owner, came into her field of vision. Immediately, an inexplicable pain overtook me.

“aaagh!”

My legs! My arm!

The cut surface was so clean that it was almost flat.

‘Ahhhhh… Ghhh… This is…!’

Even in the middle of the pain to the point of madness, I realized that I knew what this was all about.

‘An intangible sword, one of the patterns of Irlp.’

I was familiar with everything from the sound of the pagong to the result. What made me even more frustrated was the fact that this was nothing more than a check.

In other words, to put it in a game style, this was nothing more than an ILP’s normal hit.

“Nation nobility, Netion Peace. Has it weakened during the confined time?”

“Weak and sleep…!”

Elfi looked at me crawling on her floor and muttered. He was supposed to be talking to himself in a small way, but even that sound resonated and amplified in the Great Hall.

“But the immortality ability seems intact.”

A strange light appeared in her eyes. My legs and arms were naturally attached as if they had fallen off. The pain subsided in an instant, and I soon regained my sanity.

‘I realized this. It’s never like a counterattack. Once hostile, there will be no turning back!’

My gaze instinctively turned to the place where the limb had fallen.

‘Still there! Then, is it correct that Netion Peace’s immortality is based on regeneration?’

I was looking for a way to quickly get out of the situation with my regained reason.

‘Can I give up my current body and regenerate from those limbs?’

With no tutorial on how to use Netion Peace’s ability, there was no way he could know. Besides, it’s not a situation where you can leisurely test your abilities.

That moment.

Wedge juice!

It was a familiar pongong sound. Even so, I allowed the blow without even reacting.

A solid red line was slowly drawn from the waist. It was clear what was about to happen.

“Quaaa!!!”

The upper and lower body were split in two while spouting a red fountain. It was a different kind of pain than when the limbs on the left side were cut off.

It was the first time I had personally seen the upper body and lower body being separated from each other and helplessly falling to the ground.

That is also from my point of view.

“Creepy!”

I immediately encountered IrLP while replaying. When I turned my head and looked at the back, I could see the dismembered upper body lying there, unable to close its eyes.

It’s new, but I saw Netion Peace’s face for the first time at that time.

I knew at least that she had black hair. However, the combination of ominous red eyes and sickly pale skin made me think that even I was evil.

“It’s surprising that there’s no counterattack… But it’s quite an unpleasant ability.”

IRLP’s eyes were on what used to be my upper body. I deliberately tried to regenerate from the lower body. It seems that there is no limit to the part where regeneration begins.

As a result, her squinting eyes looked like a nasty bug.

“Wait a minute, LLP. I have no intention of enmity with you!”

“It has nothing to do with me whether I am hostile or not. It is just the imperial order, so I am only enforcing it as a knight of the imperial family.”

“The Imperial Family?”

At that moment, my eyes flashed open. It seemed that he had found the light.

‘Yes, from the beginning, Illelfi enforced the imperial order…!’

Maybe there is room for negotiation. If she had come here not for personal reasons, but for a public, order from the emperor!

“Unfortunately, sealing will no longer be possible, but looking at the fragments, the regenerative ability will eventually reach its limit…”

I call out to her for casually spitting out her disquieting words.

“Wait, Illelpi. As a founding noble, I make a request. To the emperor… Take me!”

At this, Irelpi asked back with a puzzled expression.

“Did you suddenly go crazy? You didn’t even know to offer the mass of calamity to His Majesty…”

I cut off Ir Elfi’s words and speak in a tone close to certainty.

“No, you’d be happy to offer a lump of calamity. The Emperor would.”

“The emperor I received is your subjugation.”

“That’s the present Hwangmyeong.”

I had the confidence to change the emperor like flipping the palm of my hand. If he had the shell as a founding noble and the knowledge as a player, it would be more than enough.

“Did you bring the means of communication? Tell the emperor. I will give you everything I know as a founding nobleman at the risk of my life!”

“Do you think I would believe that?”

“Isn’t it up to the emperor to decide whether to believe it or not? I know everything from the secrets of the imperial family that even the emperor doesn’t know, to the secrets of the Eld Empire.”

Seeing the hesitation of the Elf, I smiled with a repentant smile.

“Isn’t this too big for a mere knight commander to handle on his own? I’m sure the emperor will need my information.”

“Mmm.”

“I have said many times that I have no intention of being hostile. Even as an aristocrat by name, I did not fight back even when I tasted the humiliation of being cut in two.”

It was a fearful and angry experience the more I thought about it. Recalling the pain of that time, the Great Hall trembled as if responding to boiling emotions.

…The Great Cavity is shaking?

Kurrure…

‘What is this, I’m afraid. Is it the aftermath of the intangible sword thrown by Ir Elfi?’

I got scared and continued talking quickly without saliva.

“A hundred years ago, my madness was cured and my resentment faded. As long as I can live outside, I don’t need the status of a founding aristocrat, money, or anything else. So… Tell me my true feelings.”

I lowered my head and closed my eyes gently. I vomited everything I had to say, and now only the decision of Ir Elfi remained.

If she says she ignores it, but keeps her mouth shut, no one will know about my proposal.

In the midst of her suffocating tension, Elfie pondered for a long time without moving on the spot, and eventually sighed and rummaged in her arms.

What she took out was her communications stone. It must have been a low-end item that even commoners could use casually, but the IrLP’s communication stone had a booty for some reason.

Irlp’s expression change as he activated the communication seat and explained everything was very dynamic.

“Netionpeace is a dangerous figure…”

“Your Majesty…!”

“Yes, I understand.”

I was able to know the results without having to concentrate on listening to the communication. Because IrLP’s tightly closed expression told me everything.

She immediately put her comm seat in her bosom and turned her head to look at me.

I couldn’t bear to face the intense light, so I averted my gaze. It would have been very pathetic.

“… The nobles of the country, Netionpis, follow the orders of His Majesty the Emperor.”

“…”

“…”

It was a heavy silence. Ir Elfi stopped her words and just stared at me.

Somehow intimidated by that overbearing look, I instinctively knelt down. Ir Elfi finally opened her mouth again.

‘Is this the correct answer?’

I found out later, but it is said that this was the etiquette of honoring the emperor.

“…So, Netionpis, the nobility of the founding, should have an audience with the emperor under the supervision of Iru Elpi Justiha.”

“I’m willing to serve you.”

“I wonder if His Majesty is aware of the danger on earth! My position in charge of security is a bit…!”

Ir Elfi seemed to express her determination that she still couldn’t admit it with her whole body. As timid revenge, I raised my middle finger against her back.

…It was a really bad revenge.

With this, the first crisis I faced after coming to this world was over.

Yes, there was a stupid man who believed that.
