Chapter 482
"Eh!
"Gu!?
"That"s it."
A wooden sword in Frey"s hand is perfectly placed on the flank of a young female knight. With that, Hilda, the referee, ended the simulated battle between the two.
"Uh, didn"t you win?"
"Frey, that"s amazing. It"s so small."
"That could mean relatives of His Majesty..."
Sigh leaks from other female knights who were supporting their colleagues. Yeah, see, Frey is a gold-ranked adventurer (but in the future). It"s not easy to beat those knights there.
"Eh heh. I won. But sister, my right leg was acting weird from the middle of nowhere. Did you twist it?
"What? Oh, yeah. When I just slashed the lower level..."
The opponent"s female knight is moving slightly up her right leg to confirm the pain.
"Ouch... hey, hey, hey! Cure him!
"Aiyi"
Releasing a [cure heel] toward the female knight, as she feared, the female knight was bowing with a peck.
Well, what the h.e.l.l are you doing using the king in a mess? Well, that"s awkward. Those who use it are actually princesses.
Soon after the game, Frey will be surrounded by the female knights. In the last few days, Frey has become like a mascot for the Knights, especially the female knights.
Unlike c.o.o.n, who tends to cage in Babylon, Frey seems to like to communicate with others. Besides, I"m adored because I"m nostalgic.
"Dear Winter Night, your face is stinging."
"Whoa, why don"t you"
Tighten your expression with Hilda"s attention.
No, I"m glad my daughter is popular.
Looking at Hilda, who cautioned me, he seemed to be trying so hard to get a nibble on his face. You can"t talk about people...... Are you all parents idiots? I don"t know if you call this a couple of likes......
When you"re feeling complicated, the smartphone you had in your pocket notifies you of the incoming call. Who is it?
... ugh. Should this leave or not... I hesitated a little when I saw the incoming name displayed, but I couldn"t answer it, so I pressed the response b.u.t.ton.
"Yes, h.e.l.lo..."
"Hey, you look better than anything, Lord Brunhild, Your Majesty!
"You look fine for nothing over there too..."
Tense voice like a fool, gently gentrifying the phone away from his ear a little. I have a big voice.
It was Prince Robert of the Kingdom of Panaches who called me. Commonly known as the Prince of Pumpkin Pants.
He is also the master of the Blue Crown, "Distortion Blau".
I"ve seen this guy several times, but he"s tense and over-acting anyway, and I"m mentally tired when I"m with him. The power doesn"t fade even on the phone. I also feel like I"m being wussed by the masters of the other crowns.
"So, what can I do for you?
"Oh, um. Actually, I"d like you to meet His Majesty the King. His Majesty the King of the Rare Kingdom. "
"Rare kingdom?
The rare kingdom... A country that does float north of the Western continent. It"s an island country symmetrical from left to right with the Parelius kingdom of the former tabular world, once isolated from the junction. From the kingdom of Panaches lies the northwest across the sea.
"You want me to meet the king of the rare kingdom?
"Yes. A little bit about the" Holy Tree "thing."
Holy Tree. It is a great tree with purifying power, planted by me in the heart of Eisengard, the demonic kingdom, to purify the "Divine Demon Poison", which was dispersed by the Evil G.o.d.
The Rare Kingdom is talking about the Holy Tree, isn"t it?
Well, I don"t mind seeing you, so I"ll just set the date and time and accept it.
Surely the Rare Kingdom was a lush kingdom ruled by the king of the elves. Is it like the Great Tree waters over here?
I don"t hear any particularly bad reputations, so I think it"s okay to meet them. Although it seems that the Rare Kingdom only opens national relations with the Kingdom of Lephan in the south-west and with the Kingdom of Panaches in the south-east. Until the other day, Zardonia, the ice country of the true south, was in a state of instant contact with its neighbor Dowburn, the flaming country.
It is widely known to me that I planted the Holy Tree, so I guess the story came through Panaches with national traffic...
Whatever. Go and see if you can figure it out.
◇ ◇ ◇
Besides me, Yumina and Leanne were supposed to follow me to the Rare Kingdom. Yumina can get a lot of help diplomatically, and Leanne is used to negotiating with a multiracial group. He was originally Mismid"s diplomatic amba.s.sador.
That"s well, that"s fine...
"The Rare Kingdom is a country where many monuments sleep, and where many of the ancient fuselages used in the former wars, Legacy, have been unearthed. Your father might be able to find some golems and special parts that he hasn"t seen yet."
"c.o.o.n, you are... You"re not going out to play, are you?
"I know, Mother. I wish I could find a diplomacy "next time"."
c.o.o.n laughs prankily at Leanne, who blames her for seeping in a shaky tone.
When I said I was going to the Rare Kingdom, Kuhn had begged me to accompany him. He has met His Majesty the King of the Rare Kingdom for everything. Of course we"re talking about the future.
"Are you ready? Then open it, Blau."
When Robert said so, the blue golem beside him twirled his hand.
As soon as I wonder if the landscape around me has distorted, that distortion slowly begins to return. The blue crown, the ability to "Disturb Blau," [spatial distortion].
The distortion had returned completely. There was a green world spread out there.
Is this Farn, the king"s capital of the Rare Kingdom? It"s just the w.a.n.g capital, with all kinds of buildings lined up to show the city, but there"s a lot of greenery everywhere anyway. It"s like the capital is spreading through the woods. The streets where people go are lively and full of smiles.
"You still have a lot of elves"
Seeing people walking down the street, Yumina leaks that feeling.
That"s definitely a lot. There are not only elves, but of course humans, beasts, and dragon tribes called Dragonuts here, but they still look like a lot of elves. Feels like a puff, like 7: 3 in proportion?
"They"ve been migrating other races for hundreds of years, because the Rare Kingdom is originally the land of the elves. Essentially, there are elves in key positions in the country."
After hearing Kuhn"s explanation, I was convinced that it would be. Elves are forest people. I guess that intention is also organized in this lush state of the king"s capital.
At the end of the stretched street, you can see the royal castle standing behind the woods. Is that King Elf"s castle? Behind it stands giant trees that are just as large. Big.
"Bye, gentlemen! Let"s head to the royal castle! His Majesty King Rae is waiting for us..."
It"s about time, I thought, Prince Robert b.u.t.tered! And he falls, and begins to Ibiki.
Compulsory sleep. That"s the price of using the Blue Crown"s ability. Brunhild to the Rare Kingdom is a long way from home. You"re gonna keep sleeping for a while, this.
Robert gave me the memory of the Rare Kingdom on [recall], and I could have connected the [gate], but Kuhn wanted to see Blau"s [spatial distortion] once.
Robert was also put on board and told me that he would take him from himself to the Rare Kingdom with [spatial distortion]. Well, the knights of the kingdom of Panaches were with me, so I thought I wouldn"t have to take care of them if I slept, and I let them go.
A Golem carriage came before us and slowly stopped when the knight of Panaches carried the fallen lobel in a way he was accustomed to and tried to head with him to the royal castle of the Rare Kingdom.
"His Royal Highness Robert of Panaches and His Majesty the Duke of Brunhild, right? The royal palace has picked you up."
One elf man descends from a carriage like a microbus that let him pull to a crawled golem, not a horse. He"s a young man in his early twenties with long blonde hair tied behind him. I"m wearing white gloves and black butler clothes, but I think it"s a royal decree. I feel too young, but it doesn"t matter if you"re an elf.
With that in mind, I was pulled off my sleeve saying it was hard to coun that I was behind. Hmm? What happened?
"Father. That"s King Elf of the Rare Kingdom."
"Huh!?
Return your gaze to the elf youth who came off the carriage when Kuhn told you to. Oh, this man is the king!? Then why are you dressed as a butler?
"I thought maybe you wanted to surprise me later by rosing your ident.i.ty. Because he"s a king who likes flirting."
"You"re an annoying king."
Lene, who was listening to c.o.o.n"s words together, shook her head with a sigh small.
Is it just a jerk? Or maybe he"s trying to figure out who we are.
Because the elves are so vigilant, many people don"t quite make the real deal out of the table. They also have a common pattern that even if they seem friendly on the surface, they don"t allow themselves to be distracted. Pretend you don"t realize this place, okay?
"How have you been?
"No, Your Majesty, it is an honor to welcome you immediately. So, you have a different taste in deacons. Surprised."
The young man in butler"s clothes is surprised to see Lene"s words, which he let go with a grin. s.h.i.+t. My daughter-in-law was no better than a jerk...
He was an elf young man who looked surprised for a while, but laughed out small and raised his hands gently.
"This is... Because of this, His Highness Robert came at a time when he fell asleep, and apparently it was futile. How did you figure that out?
"Let"s just say that, with His Majesty"s unleashed, unseen elegance..."
I"m sure Leanne answers, but it"s a lie. My daughter from the future taught me.
"I"m not going to let anything like that go. Ma, anyway, welcome to the Rare Kingdom. King of the Rare Kingdom, Irvin Raewind."
"My name is Leanne Hope, Fifth Queen of the Princ.i.p.ality of Brunhild. And this one..."
"King of the Princ.i.p.ality of Brunhild, it"s the Winter Night of Hope"
First Queen of the Princ.i.p.ality of Brunhild, this is Yumina Hope Moon.
By marrying me, Lene and the others were also married to the Hope Moon family. and Brunhild is also a family name, as she is also the queen of Brunhild.
This one doesn"t have to be named either. Some royals don"t have a family name.
So in Leanne"s case, it is also Hope Moon Leanne and Leanne Brunhild. Likewise, Yumina is also Hope Moon Yumina and Yumina Brunhild.
Well, I"m not going to call myself Winter Night Brunhild. Lu, I"m sorry.
What about your daughter?
"Nice to meet you, Your Majesty. My name is Hope Moon c.o.o.n, and I will be one of the royal princ.i.p.als. I would like to see the Forest Kingdom and the famous Rare Kingdom once, and I have asked His Majesty the King not to accompany me."
c.o.o.n picks the edge of his skirt and greets him with a cartesey. It"s getting pretty rusty. Because she"s a princess, is she just educating there?
"And if I could have a glimpse of His Majesty"s, the green crown," Grand Grune, "
"Ha. Are you more of a Grune than the rest? Hey, is this what your daughter says?
When King Elf spoke, the upper body of the large Golem connected to the carriage, the chest-to-face part, slid back with Gacon.
And I wondered if a small hand had come out of it, and a plane very similar to the blue golem next door appeared before us.
As with the previous" crown ", the colours are grouped together in a green lineage with a small three-headed body.
Compared to previous crowns, it feels heartless or feminine. Parts like heat discharge plates stretching from the back of the head don"t even look like ponytails, and the body is a lot rounded. Hip parts look skirt too.
Regardless of whether Golem has a gender or not, I"m pretty sure some airframes have a feminine personality, depending on the Q crystal they"re putting on. Elka technician"s cat-shaped golem, "Basteto," is no good either.
"The host is the abundant earth and the mother tree. This is" Grand Grune ". He"s been my partner for 2,000 years."
"Hajimemasite. Crown Series, Format # CS-06" Grand Grune "Death"
Oh, the language function seems expensive. Perhaps this Golem also has the ability to pay for something more than being a crown. As far as Elf King goes, I don"t think it"s a physical price......
Looking beside him, Kuhn entered his sight looking at the green crown with his eyes sparkling.
"You never saw it in the future?
"Yes, basically because we cannot attend the World Conference, and His Majesty King Rae, did not bring Grune. I"ve never seen it before, but it"s a cute golem!
Pretty......? Well, it doesn"t even look that way, does it?
"Anyway, get in. Let me show you to the castle. Grunn, I asked you to do it."
Copy that.
Once again, Grune disappeared into a large golem. Don"t feel weird about Golem manipulating Golem. Yeah, but is our beast shaped frame gear, overgear the same thing?
The carriage pulled by Golem by his tracks was surprisingly fast. If you look at the place where it runs without damaging the cobblestone, is it a rubber track? Not so shaky in the carriage either. I guess it"s properly equipped with suspensive stuff.
What a fantastic castle the royal castle of the Rare Kingdom was. Backed by giant large trees, trees were tangled in the white walls, and the vibes were bush, creating just what they called a green castle.
They say this castle has been around for 4,000 years. Do you have the same powers working as protective magic, it doesn"t look that old.
The castle is also built to feel a little old, but it doesn"t feel too ancient.
It was us getting off the carriage and walking about King Rae and Grune going inside the castle, but I"m starting to feel like their destination wasn"t inside the castle. If you keep going, you"re going through the castle...
There is a n.i.g.g.e.red grin on King Rae"s face. Are you up to something again?
Eventually, two knights, guarding like gatekeepers in front of them, push with their strength the big kannon door that was where they stopped.
"Wah...!
"Well......!
"Heh..."
Gi, gi, gi, and the end of the open door were in the woods where the leaking sun plunged in.
On our front, the big tree that looked like the back of the castle stands just looking up.
"It"s the Spirit Tree Rarewind. The mother tree of the elves, the place of return of the soul... is the spirit tree that was"
Was it?
This Spirit Tree and the Spirit Tree do not seem to dwell like the Great Divine Tree, the Great Divine Tree of the Great Tree. I mean, that doesn"t feel right. I can"t feel the vitality.
"Have you noticed? Yes, this spiritual tree is already out of breath with its lifespan. Thanks to the magic left in the trees, it looks like nothing but appearance, but in a few more months it will start to wither away"
So? Even restorative magic doesn"t come back to life in trees that have just run out of life. Perhaps this spiritual tree and the others have been here for thousands of years, watching over the rare kingdom. There is something emotional about that history.
"Rarewind finished the role. But spiritual trees are a symbol of our country. The peace of mind of the people is disturbed as it is. We must welcome a new spirit tree."
"A new spirit tree?
"Mm-hmm. I wanted to see Lord Brunhild about that. Eisengard"s "Sacred Tree", which is said to have been produced by Sora. I want that to be a new spirit tree in our country."
"Holy tree?
Holy Tree of Eisengard. It is a holy tree planted to purify the "G.o.d demon poison" sprinkled during the battle against evil G.o.ds.
Even so, it wasn"t me who created it, but Uncle Kosuke, the farming G.o.d.
But to make that holy tree a new symbol of this country, you"re telling me to pull that array out of Eisengard?
"Oh, no, you had a narrative. I"m not saying anything about the Holy Tree of Eisengard. It means I want the same thing as that tree."
"Oh, you know..."
Um, sometimes there are the same seedlings because that was originally something that could have gone through some variety improvements. In fact, it"s inside my [storage].
The slight hesitation is that once "Holy Tree" is a building thing of the farming G.o.d. I was wondering if I could give it up on my own.
"Wait a minute, please. I"ll make sure."
Put a no on King Rae and call Uncle Kosuke. If Uncle Kosuke seems to show difficulty, it"s bad for King Rae, but let"s give it up.
"It doesn"t matter. It"s basically created in a humanized state, so it"s earthly, and there"s no special ability for it to be called this, except to purify the [G.o.d demon poison] or the dirty atmosphere.
Uncle Kosuke"s reply was light. It"s light...... Well, he said he"d like it, okay?
When I take the saint tree saplings out of [Storage], King Rae sees it at first sight and tries to reach out as excited as he is. Trembling?
"Holy c.r.a.p... so much...! A more upbeat sign than the once spiritual tree......! Sure this is a holy tree......! It"s like G.o.d dwells......!
I don"t know if that"s too much to say, but it sure is because it"s sparkling and beautiful. I don"t know.
The sparkle coming out of these leaves is a purified magic vegetable. I know you"re taking in dirty air and magic vegetables in the atmosphere, but that"s less than Eisengard"s. I don"t know if this is less because of the seedlings or because the air in the rare kingdom isn"t dirty.
When I handed over the saplings of the Holy Tree, King Rae received them with all due respect.
"Thank you. Our country has formed friends.h.i.+p with the Princ.i.p.ality of Brunhild and we only hope to prosper together"
"No, it"s nice to meet you"
I firmly held the hand King Rae had offered me. Then he looks back and looks up at the soaring giant tree.
"It"s Rarewind. Mother Tree, who has been watching this country for a long time. Sleep in peace..."
Grune holds his hand against the Spirit Tree. Then a soft green ripple was released straight from Grune"s palm towards the spirit tree.
"Winter Night, the Spirit Tree...!
"Whoa......!
When Yumina pointed me up and looked up at the spiritual tree, the blue and lush spiritual tree almost instantly lost its color.
As if watching the video fast forward, the spiritual tree quickly withers away. On the contrary, parts such as branches and trunks had also begun to shatter. Huge spiritual trees disappear as if they were dust.
Hey, is this Crown Ability Crown Skills......!?
King Rae handily planted the saplings of the holy tree on the site where its spiritual tree had been completely turned into dust.
"Wake up to this land, O new life, inheriting old life. Blessed be the earth!
"What!?
"Whew!?
At the same time that King Rae spins his words, the holy tree he has just planted grows in sight. What the h.e.l.l ah......!
While we are out of time, the Holy Tree grows. Is this Grune"s ability too......!?
"This is [plant domination] …. You can manipulate not only plants, but even processed wood, the green crown, the crown ability of" Grand Grune "" Golem Skills "......!
Surprisingly, c.o.o.n explains it. I knew it! This ability is a huge price to pay for the contractor Master...!
"Gu......!
In my ear when I realized it, I heard King Rae"s painful voice. Already the Holy Tree had grown to about half of its original spiritual tree. The green fluctuations that had been released from Grune have already stopped.
King Rae bowed down to the spot, falling straight to the front.
The price of crowning ability can be enough to take a life. No way......!
"Oh, are you okay!?
I rushed over and when I woke him up I heard a belly sound so loud that I"d never heard it before. Huh?
King Elf, whose eyes have vanished, snaps with a sweeping voice.
"I"m hungry, I"m hungry..."
What"s the price, it...?
