Chapter 483
"The price of the green crown is" hunger ". It becomes a state of extreme hunger, and if you do poorly, you will die. I"m most unwilling to use my abilities..."
Gukürgürgürgürgürgürgürgürgürgürgürgürgürgürgürgürgürgürgürgürgürgürgürgürgürgürgürgürgürgürgürgürgürgürgürgürgürgürgürgürgürgürgürgürgürgürgürgürgürgürgürgürgürgürgürgürgürgürgüg
If you"re that hungry, eat something soon. Okay, but they don"t.
When King Rae, who remained asleep, took one apple in his hand, it quickly collapsed like sand and turned into dust. Yeah!?
"While I"m paying the price like this, I can"t speak of food...... In this case, look around for about twenty days..."
"So much!?
"There"s nothing unbearable about elves because they"re originally a species that doesn"t have to eat much to live with. I don"t die that easily because I can only drink water, but my first hunger is tight..."
Speaking of which, Nia, the user of the red crown, said it before. He said if you were careful, you wouldn"t die at a "price" except for the purple crown.
Well, because of my [cracking] purple crown, I no longer have the crown ability Crown Skills.
But after starving them, will they dust the food they touch [the price]?
You used to read similar stories in something. Talk about if the king was happy that G.o.d gave him the power to golden everything he touched, he would be golden up to food and starve to death.
Perhaps this [price] is similar to the [curse] I use. Forced to take something away from the target, that kind of [curse].
And unlike the curse, it"s a price to pay for wanting something, so it"s hard to lift it. Probably [Recovery] but you can"t. If you break Grune"s abilities in [Cracking], it may be disarmed, but this king doesn"t want it.
"Don"t worry about it. It"s the ability I"ve used for years. I"m used to it. Because I know the critical line, and I"m not willing to use my unbearable abilities."
According to Kuhn"s story, the ability of the green crown seems to be plant manipulative, but its scope is quite extensive. But he also had the same weakness as my [Prison] that if the scope was extended, the quality of his abilities would be reduced.
They manipulate not only living trees, but even processed woodworking products. It"s amazing because once upon a time, they put together a large fleet of enemy troops that attacked the Rare Kingdom and turned it into sea algae chips. No, is it easy if you drill a hole in the bottom of the boat?
"What, didn"t you ever suddenly grow that one? They grow up even if left alone..."
"The Spirit Tree is a symbol of this country. For the peace of the people, that"s what we need to see. Everyone would feel safer about a fat, successful spiritual tree than a weak seedling tree, wouldn"t they?
No, well... I sure am when they say that. In fact, I can see the Holy Tree through the window in this room, but the castle people are happy to pray.
It was something that all the people knew that the magic vegetables surrounding the tree had withered and that the life of the spirit tree had already been exhausted. Everyone wanted a new spirit tree soon. This king sacrificed himself for it. It"s not something I can do.
But hunger strike is tight for the next twenty days... He said he was used to it, but it wouldn"t be easy because he got used to it.
"The Duke of Brunhild. I can"t thank you enough for this... but I would like to thank you for something as a country. There are many ruins in this rare place. From there, excavated, the ancient magic machine discovered sleeps in the treasure hall. I"d like to give you some of that if you don"t mind…"
"No, never mind. Originally,"
"Thank you for your concern! I would like to see the treasure of the Rare Kingdom, with His Majesty the King, if you will!
Originally that was Uncle Kosuke"s feat. When I tried to shy away, Kuhn came forward and said so sooner than that.
Hey, your daughter. I don"t know how you feel, but you"re too desperate.
"Uhm...... Then lead His Majesty the King to the treasure hall."
"Ha."
We headed to the treasure house, guided by an elf youth (who looked) who said he was the prime minister of this country. After this, King Rae drank a lot of water and went to bed. You think it"s because you don"t feel hungry? Let"s plug in Lou"s dishes after the quid pro quo.
Robert the Panaches is still asleep at the cost of his metastasis, and we just decided to get the treasure first and free up.
I wanted to talk about joining the World Alliance, will we do it again?
"This way, sir."
The guided location was in front of doors strictly guarded by a number of keys and security golems. The Chancellor releases it one by one.
When the door was opened, it was mixed with gold and silver treasures, and a number of magic machines were delivered.
There is also a golem. Probably the ancient fuselage Legacy. If it"s not so expensive, there"s no way I"m keeping the factory Factory golem in the treasure hall.
It doesn"t just look like a c.r.a.p at first glance, not just a golem, but some parts, machines that don"t know what to use, etc., but only Kuhn glittered his eyes and jumped into the treasure hall.
Looking back, he"s tiding his face up and down his fists small. What is this, huh? Yeah.
"Oh, my goodness, hey, sire! Um, that!
"Uh...... Fine. Choose what you like."
"Thanks! Love it!"
c.o.o.n clings to me. [M] When I wanted to give him a hug back, he quickly left and went inside the treasure hall. Oh......
"Too deluded, darling"
"That"s right. More fort.i.tude, a.s.suming you are the king of a nation."
"A, hi......"
Pinched gooey by Leanne and Yumina from both neighbors. I guess I was so deluded...... But it will have to be, in this case!
Singing a nose song, Kuhn skips down the castle hallway in Brunhild. In both hands, he had a chunk of machinery as much as basketball, conceded from the treasure hall of the Rare Kingdom.
It also looks like a little engine but I"m not sure. It should be metal, but it weighs too lightly. I was allowed to hold it too, but it was as light as plastic.
"What"s that after all?
"Well done. You asked, Mother! This is probably the "Spirit Furnace"!
"Spirit furnace?
Never heard of it...... Kuhn said, the g-cube on the golem. It is Golem"s power source and heart that generates and amplifies magic from light. And what that g-cube incorporates is Golem"s demonic motive.
It seems that a spiritual furnace is an inst.i.tution on which its demonic motives were based.
All things have spirits. With the help of its Spirit, it seems to be an inst.i.tution that amplifies magic.
Western Continent...... Spirits also exist in the former backworld. Are you saying that the people of Tai Ancient, Back World, with the help of the Spirit, were moving Golem?
"I don"t know if it"s Golem. I hear Golem was born during the World War there."
"Oh, is it from an era before the emergence of the Fraze over here..."
It"s so beautiful. I don"t think it was more than 5,000 years ago. Is it protective magic?
Well, some of the frame gear we have is as old as that.
"a.n.a.lyze this and we"ll have a new discovery...! Uhhhhhhh!
"What shall I do, ma"am? My daughter is frightened..."
"There"s nothing I can do, sir. That"s the kind of girl she is."
c.o.o.n is leaking evil inclusive laughter so much that I don"t think I should show it to the public as a parent.
"Bye! Because I"m going to Babylon!
"You"re leaving by dinner, aren"t you?
"Yes!"
While skipping again, Kuhn headed to the transfer room to Babylon. Somehow, when it comes to hobbies, Galari and his personality don"t change, that kid.
When we sigh as if we were frightened, Yumina, who was next door, also leaks a small sigh.
"That"s cute. I want my son or daughter to come as soon as possible..."
"What are you talking about? Is that girl your daughter, too? We"re all brothers and sisters."
Yumina quipped for a moment at the words from Leanne, but eventually she laughed small.
"Right. I"m your mother, too."
Kuhn calls Yumina "Yumina Mother". They have nine mothers from birth.
Maybe it doesn"t matter to those kids, my real mother or my stepmother. In c.o.o.n"s case, Yumina and the others make fun of each other. Compared to that, I still don"t feel comfortable with Leanne though.
Well, I know how Yumina feels. At a time when we don"t know where the rest of the kids will show up in the rest of the world, we can only wait.
For once, the main w.a.n.g capital and other birds have been sneaking up on the "eyes" of the red b.a.l.l.s.
Though mainly to capture Hachiyun, the daughter of Hachi, when she appears. Yayun can use [gate], so I can"t find it...
Totally...... I wish I could do it in this country with Sister Hachi or all the blades if I was in training. Father, I"m not sure what my daughter thinks.
◇ ◇ ◇
It"s been about a week since I visited the Rare Kingdom. c.o.o.n doesn"t come down to earth at all. They"re stuck in Babylon"s "lab," and they"re continuing to develop something with the Doctor and three Elka technicians. Thank you. She has the qualities of a drawstring. Totally indoorsy.
Conversely, his daughter Frey with Hilda is an outdoorsman. Well, even when it comes to the outdoors, I just play games with Ende"s daughter Alice every day.
"Speaking of games...... when was the martial arts tournament in Mismid?
I turned to Lindsay sitting next to me. [M] Besides me, four people arrive for lunch: Else, Lindsay, Cherry Blossom, and Su. Everyone else seems to have missed their jobs and appointments. These things were common among us.
"Indeed, from today on, it was. Hey, sister."
"Yeah, it sure does. Oh, I wanted to join you."
Else crushes unfortunately as she crunches her lunch omelet into Linze"s words. No, because if you leave, it"s gonna be a big deal.
Already the three Else, Octave and Hilda probably have top notch strength in the world. If we can counter them, except for the Sisters of the Blades, the Divine Clan, I think they are the only masters who have dawned in training for thousands of years in species such as Elves and Dwarves, which are long-lived species.
"Well, this is a tournament in Mismid. I knew it was a bad idea to have a queen from another country there."
"I know... It"s not easy to be a queen."
His Majesty the Beast King of Mismid has long wanted to hold martial arts tournaments, but he was opposed by all his ministers. They didn"t have a budget, but we could do it if we saw the martial arts tournament in Brunhild, stalled in new dishes, and made a profit from partic.i.p.ation fees, etc., right? He thought.
From there I managed to convince the Chancellor, Mr Graz, and the ministers, to finally bring them in until the holding.
In order to increase safety, I have granted defensive barriers to militant fields and the magic of casualty transfer and recovery.
It seems like this tournament is just in Mismid country, but if sometime something starts running on the Magic Train, I guess there will be partic.i.p.ants coming from outside the country.
Or will His Majesty the Beast King join us? When we were there, it did hit and draw with General Leon of Belfast, though he defeated early.
I didn"t watch it because I was down in the fight with Gila then, but I heard that was an amazing game. I wish I could have seen it if someone had recorded it.
"I may not be able to partic.i.p.ate, but isn"t it good enough to watch the game?
"Hmmm...... His Majesty the Beast King would probably be happy to give you permission..."
I"m a little worried about Su"s suggestion. I wonder if I"ll just end up watching the game...... Aren"t you drawn in by saying the winner, or His Majesty the Beast himself, an exhibition match, and Else is going to fight?
It wouldn"t be a bad place to talk if the queen of another country bogged down the winner or the king of that country at the first martial arts tournament in Mismid.
I figured it"d be best to keep it through this time.
So I came to my conclusion, and the news came in from Red Ball. [M]
"We apologize for the meal. From the "eyes" I was dispatching, I got important information. Take a look first."
Aye, send it.
Link the optic nerve with redball-distributed birds dispatching to various locations.
A few moments later, a clear image appeared in the back of my brain. I guess they"re replacing bird visual information with human visual information.
I wonder where it is, there are... a lot of people here. Is that some kind of venue? There are a lot of beasts, and it"s a mismid?
Oh, it"s a mismid, after all. There"s the Chancellor, Mr. Graz, in the VIP table, and that militancy is the one I granted the defensive junction to. Martial arts tournament venue?
The staircased audience is filled with beasts and subhumans. That"s a big deal.
The bird"s gaze is directed towards the center of the militant field. Somebody"s fighting. During the martial arts tournament?
One is a bearded big man with a big wooden sword. I guess the Bear... the Beast Man. And the other one......
"Huh!?
Gatta! I got up from my chair unexpectedly. I"m surprised everyone looks this way, but my gaze turns to one of them, Lindsay.
Because there was a child like her in the footage that was still pouring into my brain.
"Duh, what"s wrong, Mr. Winter Night?
"No, I just got a reading from Red Ball...! Yeah... oh, it"s quicker to show it!
I rush to activate [Mirage] and reflect what I"m seeing in the air at the table. There is no audio. Just the footage.
"... Huh?
"What is this, a martial arts...?
"Kids are fighting, right?
"Linze?"
A six- or seven-year-old girl who looks just like Lindsay, who sets up an incompatible gauntlet equipped with both hands and flies all the way to a big bear beast man.
A bear man tries to defend himself against a girl"s lightning-like rush against the belly of a great sword.
The girl looked at it and wondered if she had accidentally jumped, moving straight through the air with nothing to the bear man. Jumping in the air!?
And with one fist of the girl unleashed as it was, the great sword is smashed, and the bear man blows flashly off the scene. After several bounces, I rolled over and stopped.
"" "" "Become!?
We were watching the footage. Our voices are hammered. What is it now!?
Keep your eyes open and compare Else to her sister next door and the girl on the screen.
"Hey, wait a minute!? This kid doesn"t have to be...!
"Linze"s daughter...... I think it"s Linne"
"You"ve come this far. Make no mistake."
Both Cherry Blossom and Su were comparing Linze to the girl on the screen. You really look like... No, it"s obvious.
Hairband on silver hair cut together around the shoulder, eye-catching just a little more than Else? Similar to the clothes you wear. It feels exactly like a mini-linser.
"Ha, ha, wow! Hey, hey, hey, hey! s.h.i.+t, I"m here!?
"Why questionable...?
"Uh, uh, how, how, how, how, when I do, what!?
"Linze, let"s just calm down"
I"m panicking. Speak to Linze. I know how you feel. I haven"t been that excited since this is the third time. [M]
"Ah!?
"Huh?"
When I glanced back at Else"s voice, who suddenly screamed, Lynne was waving at the audience in the screen. In that direction, a girl of the same age who was in the front row waves her hand back small.
"You don"t look just like Else..."
"Probably Else"s daughter, Elna"
"What, what!? Wow, mine!? Hey, hey!? You"re here!?
Gaze around the su and cherry blossoms where Else is around. Zhou Weuwei was superb here, and he wandered his hands into the universe like that.
"Uh, uh, how, how, how, how, when I do, what!?
"Else, let"s calm down. Repeat."
Same as Linze just now...... Even if it"s so synchronous because they"re twins.
The girl in the audience on the screen was this one again with silver hair long and looks just like Else. However, I get the impression that the eyes are somewhat soft and seem to grow up. This one is wearing clothes similar to Else"s, but is it a little handmade for the future Linze?
"Take, Mr. Winter Night! Go to Mismid now!
"Oh, yeah! If you"re watching this, you"d better go straight here!
"Wah, ok, ok...!
There"s no way I can turn against the two imminent daughters. [M] I opened the [gate] so that I could be rushed, and stepped behind the audience in the martial arts, from out of sight to Mismid.
Else and Lindsay jump out the back so they can push me away. Cherry blossoms and su also came to this side.
Linne stepping out of the martial arts returns to the depot in the back.
Lindsay, who saw it, tried to go after her daughter, but I grabbed her by the arm and stopped at the spot.
"Wait! For once, that kid is a match contestant. If you go see him on your own, he could get in the way of the other contestants in the understatement."
"So, but...!
"Lynne should just put it behind her and hold it off from Erna in the audience. That way they"ll come this way."
It was a reluctant Linze, but eventually I nodded that you understood Su"s words.
"Uh, uh... ah! Over there!"
Ahead of Else pointing her finger, I see Elna, her daughter. Front row just opposite from where we are.
From here on the back of the staircase, I can see the people in the front row, but I found them in the crowd. Is that your mother"s instinct?
Do I have to go around in that position? Else"s voice echoes in my ear as I tried to run out.
"Cherry Blossom! [Teleport] Please!
"Disappointed."
The vision changes in an instant. Hey......!
[Teleport] I was surprised that the people around us had lost their hips. As a result of the dependency, cherry blossoms can be [teleported] together....... but you just stand out......!
What are these guys!? Where did you come from!? Only one of the bewildered and suspicious glances, a decent eye that can be directed at us.
"Oh,?
Elna suddenly appeared nailed to Else, and it was solidifying.
"Uh, Erna... right?
"Ah...... Ugh..., ugh...!
In front of Else, who tends to hesitate to talk about what to do, the look on Elna"s face, which was decent, gradually breaks down. There were large tears in both eyes.
"Grandma......! Oh, come on! Uh-huh... oh, my G.o.d, it"s your mother...! I missed you......! I missed you...!
Shaking her long silver hair, Erna clings to Else and cries.
All of a sudden, Else was in a panic, but eventually she smiled small and graciously embraced her wondrously crying daughter.
Um... you have a father, too?
