chapter 48
Episode 4. Developing the Warriors (Complete)
It has been more than two months since I started training in earnest.
Perhaps thanks to my advice and directional design, the children were growing rapidly without trial and error.
“Ariel, what happened to the favor you asked me a few days ago?”
I said to Ariel, who was washing the dishes.
She gestured to create wind and dried the wet dishes.
Looking at the tableware laid down on the drying rack, he nodded proudly and turned around to look at me.
“If you asked for it, you mean signing a contract with the spirit kings?”
“Yes. Have you ever had a conversation?”
“I’ve said it, but they say they want to watch it a little longer. The demons don’t even move, so you can’t move just by guessing.”
That was definitely true.
I may not hesitate because I know what the future holds, but they have no choice but to be cautious.
Even the spirit king was the highest authority in the spirit realm. It was not a position to move recklessly.
Still, I couldn’t help but regret it.
“But don’t worry, we’ll intervene immediately if we detect the demons moving.”
“I see.”
For now, that’s enough.
Seeing that he won’t turn away, it seems that Ariel wrapped it up well.
“Thank you. Ariel.”
“…… What’s up I also say thank you. If you’re grateful, could you give me more time to talk to Phasma?”
By the way, the time to talk to Phasma was given every day after putting the children to bed.
Do you know how much mental stress I am under because of the couple’s deceit?
Damn it, I should make a girlfriend if I raise all the warriors.
“If there is something to be thankful for, I am grateful. You know who is trash.”
“It’s garbage. Everyone would call it trash just by looking at the sleazy talk?”
That wasn’t what I wanted to do.
My mouth just moved like that.
…… It must be too late now to make an excuse.
This concept could no longer be changed.
Now that this has happened, put an iron plate on the face in reverse.
“If I am trash, everyone in the empire must be trash.”
“Did you buy and sell your conscience?”
“…… That’s all right, how far has Maria’s magic training gone?”
“It’s the 4th rank. Wind magic is still close to the 5th tier because I am looking after it, but the process of crossing the tier seems to take some time.”
I put my hand to her mouth and pondered her words.
4Th place in two months.
It was a good growth rate.
Even in the game, she hadn’t gone to the 4th tier in two months.
I can’t remember exactly how many days it took, but I know it took at least a year.
Thinking that it was reduced by 10 months with my advice and the spirit king’s education, I felt proud of everything.
“Don’t say too much. The kid’s talent is real. I’ll vouch for it. He will definitely be stronger than the spirit kings put together. Maybe she can even see the 10th tier, which is still unknown.”
I had no idea what to say.
Anyway, they just need to grow up perfectly before the 2nd Human-Ma War breaks out.
When I thought that the next 10 years of the Great War of Man and Horse, breaking through the 4th tier in two months was fast, but not slow at all.
“I didn’t say anything.”
“You know about Tina and Iris, right?”
I nodded.
I explained about the two heroes every time Phasma was possessed by me.
[There is no need to touch Tina. She said the kid is a genius. Although there is a side that can’t understand the language, it seems that it will work because I did not bother to tell you about the sword. She is already improving her poomsae by making the illusion swordsman her own.]
Other than that, they said that her stamina seems to increase just by breathing, and that it seems like she is seeing her prime.
Then I was told about Iris.
[Iris also made her illusion swordsmanship her own, but it’s very different from Tina’s. If Tina says she wields her sword sensibly, should she say Iris is rational? She said that her body vision is so great that she can read all attacks.]
He also praised Iris.
As he said, the two children had perfectly mastered the illusion swordsmanship and were in the process of improving it in a way that suited their form.
The process had to go through trial and error without my advice, so I was generously explaining it.
“By the way, this year is already the last.”
Today is December 31st.
Tomorrow is January 1st. It was the day my kids turned 11 and I turned 20.
…… Tomorrow, Urca will be thirty. I’ll have to play with you later
“Today’s training ends here, and I will rest today and tomorrow.”
No matter how much they say that warriors should be raised as soon as possible, I wondered if I was overusing them from a very young age.
But I couldn’t stop myself from doing it myself.
I don’t know what motivated them, but since they’re trying to grow on their own, it’s like giving them something to worry about.
I opened the front door and found the warriors who were training outside.
The warriors huddled together in front of the knights in golden armor.
The children’s heads turned around as if they heard the sound of the door opening. Iris quickly snatched the letter from the knight’s hand.
“Ah, Master! A letter has arrived!”
As Iris was about to sprint towards her, Tina grabbed her arm.
“Iris! I will tell you!”
“I got it first, Tina!”
“You took what I meant to take. I will bring it to you!”
“Isn’t it?”
“Give me!”
Shook!
Tina’s hand grips her Iris arm. She snaps her Tina’s hand.
“Are you going to try?”
“Give me that!”
Two people compete with each other at invisible speed.
They slashed each other’s hands and blocked them repeatedly.
It was a desperate struggle between those who wanted to keep the letter and those who tried to take it away.
It was really useless, though.
Maria, on the other hand, watched the fight from a distance, and immediately raised her staff.
“「Wind」!”
A strong wind blows over them.
A letter floated in the air in the hands of Iris, who was distracted by Tina for a moment.
“Maria! Don’t interrupt!”
Iris was about to jump, pushing Tina with her feet.
“「Gravity」!”
A wind-based gravitational magic.
Quad Deuk!
It crushes Iris with considerable magical power. Even so, Iris stood firm.
“I’m sorry, but I will take the letter with me.”
“Are you serious?!”
Thump!
A huge jump.
The ground split apart. A crater of a size incomparable to that of Incuro is created.
She floated up defying her gravity and managed to catch the letter floating in the air.
“Ah! Iris…… !”
“I said I caught it first! Are you really going to hit me if I do it one more time?”
Landing on the ground again, Iris warns Maria by clenching her fists. Maria clicked her tongue openly and frowned.
“Sheesh.”
Maria, didn’t I teach you to use magic for things like this…….
Is there a different level of fighting when you become a hero?
I was only going to hand over one letter to me, but with three children fighting, I was just dumbfounded.
But who will fix the broken land? Can it be used as a recovery magic?
By the time she was sighing at the thought of new work, Iris approached in a clear light.
“Master! It is a letter!”
He held out an envelope to me with both hands.
I thanked her by stroking her hair.
Since when, whenever they did something remarkable, they would stick their heads out to me, and I would naturally stroke their heads.
I wonder why this happened, but being kind to the warriors wasn’t a bad thing, so I was neglecting it.
…… But since when did this really happen?
I was thinking for a while when I saw the envelope that I was holding.
It was a luxurious envelope with golden patterns on a black background. I looked around and stopped to check where it was.
It was because the Physics pattern was honestly embedded in the opening of the envelope.
This was a letter from the imperial family.
“…… It’s a pain in the ass.”
Anyway, the time seemed to come soon. It’s time to meet the person you hate the most.
The knights confirmed that I had received the letter and then turned around with a silent bow.
That meant that this letter was addressed to me, not to Ariel or to these warriors.
“What letter is it?”
Iris asked, impatient with her curiosity. I said while looking at the letter.
“Sent from the imperial family.”
“If the imperial family is the emperor…… Are you?”
“The imperial family does not necessarily mean the emperor.”
Because that place is full of people who want to take advantage of people.
In particular, there were many who recruited strong people to strengthen their position.
As the first prince, Chris would have the highest probability of becoming the next emperor, but that didn’t mean that she didn’t have a chance for other children.
In fact, even in the game, branches are divided as to who will be selected as the next emperor.
Depending on who you choose at that time, the progress of future episodes will be divided into whether they will be smooth or creaky.
Of course, I knew who the most helpful human among the imperial family was.
“Let’s open it now!”
Tina, who approached me before I knew it, said. Maria follows and stands next to me.
But at this time, is there any reason for the imperial family to call me?
I recalled hearing from Tori that the crown prince had summoned her in relation to a formal match.
If it’s because of the things I’ve done, it’s a completely rotten rope.
I sighed and carefully opened the envelope.
The entrance opened and the contents inside were taken out and unfolded.
「Invitation for New Year Party」
Looking at the letter written at the top, I tilted my head.
…… Why is this already out?
I have an ominous feeling.
As far as I know, these invitations are received when the three heroes turn 17, or exactly the year the emperor dies.
In other words, it was a story seven years later.
However, sending this to us now could only be interpreted as meaning that we were already preparing for the ‘War of Succession’.
In addition, the fact that this episode came out means that the probability of the scenario in which my actions should proceed sequentially has been greatly twisted.
For me who already knew who to choose, I was the answer, but I couldn’t help but feel a little uneasy about this.
As long as the expectations started to go wrong, blind faith was prohibited.
So let’s use the relics we got from Aus on the imperial family.
I’m sure that ‘choker’ will definitely point you in the direction you need to go.
I sighed as I read the words ‘Dear Prause’ written on the invitation.
Come to think of it, I said to Ella, “It’s the imperial family’s meal! I win!” I think it was stretched out like that.
In the end, you’re in a position where you have no choice but to go when called to the imperial family.
…… Ah, but my way of speaking, is it okay in front of the royal family?
