A Famous Traitor and Treacherous Genius

155 – Assassin in the Dark (1)

Urinary tract texture.

In a strict sense, urinary stones.

The human body releases waste products in various ways, but sometimes the part where they are supposed to be released wrong goes.

-Did I kill too many wizards? I’m going crazy.

The Habsburg emperor once lamented the massacre of Nostrum’s traditional wizards.

Hematuria.

A disease in which something like a stone settles somewhere in the body.

Habsburg himself may not have suffered from such a chronic disease, but many silver addicts in the empire showed such symptoms.

The silver in white silver is not silver, a metallic mineral.

It is vampire bone powder with a color similar to silver.

But what happens after this is inhaled into the body?

The human body makes every effort to expel the vampire bone dust that has entered the body.

Vampire bone powder penetrates into the blood vessels of the human body, perhaps as an instinct from the time of the vampire, and the human body uses the blood flowing in these blood vessels to induce bone powder to collect in certain organs of the body. Br＞

And this bone meal tissue is excreted in an appropriate way.

The problem is if you absorb too much silver that exceeds the body’s control function.

Bone fragments aggregate and gather inside the waste excretion organ, resulting in a much coarser and more lumpy form than the initial form of silver at the time of absorption.

How to solve it?

One is to suddenly pour in Somnus.

‘Neutralize the negative energy of a vampire with the positive energy of Somnus exposed to sunlight, and discharge it by turning it into a liquid in the same form as Caroline.’

Somnus becomes liquid white silver (currently Caroline) when it comes into contact with the solidified bone powder, which can then be excreted out of the body as a waste product.

Whether you drink somnus pollen dried in the sun and absorb the energy of the sun as tea, sprinkle it as a bathing agent and take a bath, or inject somnus sap directly into your blood vessels, there are endless ways to do it.

The second is to rely on the tradition of Nostrum.

-Illness? Isn’t one healing spell enough?

Magic is great.

Regarding the phenomenon called urinary stones, the wizards of the kingdom discovered a way to solve urinary stones without any pain using healing magic.

But they all died.

Everyone who could use magic either died or left Nostrum and went into hiding, and all that traitors remained with mediocre skills.

Third.

Getting help from a master.

The master directly flows mana and destroys bad things inside the body.

But which master would waste his blood-like mana just to cure a disease?

It also consumes not a small amount of mana like healing magic, but an enormous amount of mana, more than a three-game battle between masters.

So.

The best thing is not to consume imperial white silver.

The next best thing is to consume Caroline from Gibraltar, which has fewer side effects.

If that doesn’t work, at least consume only the amount that your body can control.

‘Traitors can’t do that.’

Silver is the pleasure that comes from reality.

It is a drug prepared by the empire with the intention of destroying the kingdom, and the drug has already spread to the deepest part of Nostrum, so much so that it has been secretly spreading in the royal capital seven years ago, even before I returned .

Can I give up that pleasure?

After the Habsburg emperor unified the continent, what was his biggest regret, saying, ‘Did I spread too much?’

‘Everything depends on the individual.’

Eating a lot of silver will not kill you.

Consuming Caroline together does not guarantee that you will develop urinary tract congestion.

If you just inhale silver in crystalline form every day, pour several bottles of Caroline into your stomach every time you lie in bed with someone of the opposite s*x, and repeat that lifestyle for several years, the likelihood of something like that happening will only increase .

Someday.

Even if I fail.

Or even if it’s a situation where I can’t intervene directly.

‘We take all the traitors with us.’

There may be a difference in time, but they will eventually die.

There are many cultures in the empire that did not exist in the kingdom, and among them, there are so many things that lead people to death.

Summer day.

In accordance with a long and lengthy plan called [Visit to the Thersian Empire Academy and educational exchange tour], Count Edmund Ducastel decided to leave Nostrum for a while.

It’s not because I was disowned by Naria Geo Nostrum.

It’s common to be criticized by the future king for being overly loyal.

It’s not like you’re getting kicked out of the academy.

The only thing that is happening is that the ministers of education and education of both countries are directly participating in the exchange project with the seal of the kings of each country.

I’m not running away because I’m afraid of the social world.

It was not because he was afraid of becoming an old man in the backroom, as he had established himself as a prominent member of many social circles in Nostrum, but based on that experience, he was chosen to deal with various people in the empire.

Exploring imperial culture.

Some nobles in the kingdom pointed fingers at him, but Edmund Ducastel was not ashamed.

Because there are nobles and Gibraltar behind you!

Goo goo goo.

The wheels roll, and the carriage runs down the street.

It is not a carriage.

It would be correct to call it a carriage, and in order to prevent confusion in terminology, the kingdom called it an automatic magic ship.

Small sailing ship.

As a professor of basic military studies, he knows the empire’s naval history well. He knows very well that the magic automatic ship he is riding was an assault warship used by the empire’s 1st fleet for close combat.

Weapons for war are now running on the ground with several wheels attached to the ground, with all weapons laid down.

The speed is somewhat slower than that of a horse running at full power, but the magic automatic ship does not get tired.

“Count Ducastel.”

From behind, a white-haired maid came up and brought a bowl of fruit.

“How about the magic automatic ship, do you have any inconveniences?”

“Far from being inconvenient, it is actually comfortable. I understand why His Majesty the King travels around the kingdom with an automatic magic ship every day.”

It may be a shameful thing to say, but it has been quite some time since St. Geo Nostrum vacated the royal palace.

In fact, the first magic automatic ship that entered the kingdom became Saint Geo’s mobile villa.

There is a story that it was a gift from the Crown Prince himself for the Gray Gibraltar, but the person concerned has never ridden it and lives in St. Geo as his home

And, currently.

This magic automatic ship that Edmund Ducastel is riding is a special ship that plays a special role among the dozens of magic automatic ships sent to the kingdom by the empire.

“Is this a VIP transport ship?”

“We call it ‘Limousine S-Class.'”

“S Class… Just hearing it makes me feel good.”

Although it is different in size from St.

“Is this okay? I heard it was originally an automatic ship to invite Queen Carmen.”

“There are times when some people need to be treated more specially, but that doesn’t mean we can take precious people on a lower automatic line for people who won’t even ride.”

“Hmm.”

Count Edmund stroked his mustache and shrugged his shoulders.

“The Empire really knows how to look after people. However, I have a question.”

“Yes.”

“What is that thing on the deck over there? It has wheels back and forth.”

“It is…”

* * *

“You have to be careful when importing imperial culture. If you do it wrong, all kinds of crimes are bound to happen.”

I picked up the ‘camera’, an imperial magic engineering technology product that students had started carrying around one by one during the vacation.

“This is also the case. The evil is already widespread throughout the empire.”

“Aren’t you the one who spread that evil?”

Naria, who met me 1:1 after a long time, laughed and sarcastically said.

“You are an immoral person who sold her father and took bribes.”

“Did you know that the student council is being actively funded thanks to the kickbacks?”

“If you make money through corruption, is that filial piety?”

“Only if the person concerned gives permission and appropriate financial treatment is provided.”

I put some photos in front of Naria.

“Your photos will also start to be sold. For now, they are only being sold to newspapers such as Empire Press, but soon, like my father, illegal photo shoots will be distributed in the form of ‘Naria Geo Photobook.'”

“I’ve been thinking about this for a while, but why on earth is this happening?”

“Is your father handsome and the princess pretty?”

“To put it more realistically?”

“They don’t get sued for image rights, and they’re optimized for making money.”

This is because photographs of various nobles of the Kingdom of Nostrum, especially those with smooth faces, are sold for money.

“In the Empire, this is called ‘reselling.'”

“Isn’t it a reasonable market environment to raise the price and sell where there is demand?”

“Reselling is a bit different, princess. They are the ones who disrupt the market for their own gain.”

Kingdoms and empires are like this.

“And what do you think is so strange? There are so many resellers in the kingdom.”

“A lot?”

“Is there one or two noble ladies who buy a dress at a popular boutique in the capital, wear it in social circles, make it popular, and then sell it at a high price?”

“… Indeed. That is reselling. I understood it correctly.”

The differences between kingdoms and empires are serious, but in the end, all places where people live are the same.

The resellers packaged themselves with the plausible imperial language of ‘resellers’, and later showed their ability to sell cheap, entry-level white silver by passing it off as high-end.

“Thanks to your understanding of the empire, I am grateful in many ways. Thanks to you, the student council was able to prepare the ‘rules’ in advance.”

The student council is working with the purpose of preventing problems arising from the differences between the two kingdoms.

“There are two years and one semester left.”

“In the meantime, you just need to prepare as much as you can. In the name of student council rules, various rules to accept the empire’s culture.”

Several months have already passed, but as time passes, a specific system will be established.

“Orosol Academy was the first to accept imperial culture.”

“The student council proactively responds to problems that arise as a result and creates new rules.”

“And this rule will later be renamed ‘law’. …It’s no different from what was done at the daycare center.”

Naria shook her head.

“Did you prepare from then on? Or was it expected?”

“After listening carefully to the culture of the empire, I thought that if we remained silent, it would be ruined.”

“They said it doesn’t matter if I fail.”

“It’s okay to be destroyed, but I don’t want the fire to spread to my house.”

“Why? Are you afraid that Nostrum will fail and people will knock on the Gibraltar fence?”

“I don’t plan on worrying about it, but… “

“Just to make sure Astasia doesn’t move, tsk.”

“…”

Naria clicked her tongue and laughed mockingly, but I couldn’t make any rebuttal to her words.

Because that’s true.

“A person who doesn’t care at all whether Nostrum is destroyed or what happens to the people of the kingdom, it’s really hard to make sure that the person who actually cares doesn’t get stressed out by such things, Lord Gray.”

“Are you mocking me now? Me, who is scolding the future queen like this behind her back while secretly funding her activities and selecting people?”

“Instead of just sorting out the trash, how about assigning someone to help me?”

Naria pointed to the stack of documents in front of her.

“I would really appreciate it if Gray Gibraltar could help.”

“Just take care of that. I’m very busy just doing that.”

From noble mtl dot come

“We will set it up as a centerpiece on the fall festival stage in the second semester.”

“Ha. Are you just trying to extract my labor with something like that?”

“If you can help me process this document.”

Naria opened a folder containing clippings from the Imperial Newspaper.

“When determining the area where you can ride a ‘bike’ inside Orosol Academy, we will include the foundation building and the imperial dormitory.”

“…”

“Why are you so quiet?”

Naria pounded the seat in front of her with her hand.

“Work, I have to do it.”

“I tell you clearly.”

“You don’t have to work for me. I never wanted to in the first place.”

“…”

“Work for her. Now.”

“Ha.”

It’s absurd.

“Do you think I would handle such a huge amount of paperwork for Astasia?”

“The stamp is here.”

“I’ll say it again, I’m not working for you in any way…”

“None of the student council executives are coming today.”

“Now Astasia…”

“I received permission from Astasia, so she should sit quietly and work. She said that if I don’t work, she won’t go to Gibraltar with me.”

“Damn.”

“Damn?”

“Are you doing this without any compensation?”

“Would you like me to give you a kiss?”

“What a disgusting sound.”

“Astasia.”

“…Okay, what should I do first?”

One day later.

A clause was added to the student council rules that states, ‘All students must wear a helmet when riding a magic bike.’

Aren’t helmets common sense?

It is the common sense of the empire.

Nobles do not wear helmets when riding horses.

Nostrum is like that.

The empire was like that too.
