Albrecht's Chronicles

I don't know how long the history of mankind in this world has been, but the Bible was the only reliable history book.

In ancient times, the North and East continents were constantly suffering from monsters like Orcs and Goblins, while humanity was busy killing each other and killing each other.

Perhaps an ancient empire such as Persia and Rome could not be established because of the existence of monsters. However, according to the Bible, the oldest book of history, a prophet named Zairex appeared, chasing away scary monsters and establishing mankind's first kingdom on the Eastern Continent.

Unlike an adult like Jesus or Buddha on Earth, he showed almost a military commander.

The surprising thing was that he didn't integrate people with his personal charisma or knife, but he constantly emphasized love and tried to integrate humanity.

Believing in God, loving each other, caring for each other, helping each other to become one, we can drive out those scary monsters, too!

The story of the earth or here or religion was different, but the fact that it eventually converged with love was somewhat interesting and surprising for Albrecht, but that was all.

After all, Zairex, the prophet and military leader, succeeded. You drove the monsters out, built a kingdom, and ascended.

The question was whether the time of death – or the time of ascension – or whether or not he had offspring divided the perspectives of the North and East.

It was the northern continent who believed that it ascended to the Cross at night, and the eastern continent believed that it ascended to the sun during the day. That's why they used to call North Continent the cross, and East Continent the Sun Bridge.

Religious events or rituals for mankind, which had just begun to unleash barbaria, were an element that established the identity of civilization.

They had different religious rituals and religious events, as well as day and night. They believed in the same god, the same prophet, but they became different religions.

What they could not acknowledge more was the opinion of the prophet's descendants.

The Eastern Continent claimed that Zairex had offspring, and they elected some of them to be religious leaders.

The North Continent claimed that the prophet had no descendants, and the disciple and soldier who followed him crossed over to the North and elected a religious leader in the city of Ramus, where he had first settled.

Other continents, other religious events and rituals, other religious leaders. How will the world accept the difference?

It's been two years since Albrecht came to Oberburn and poured out his money and started feeding people.

Since the creation of the estate master and the tax lord, the busy days have become increasingly relaxed. Everything seemed to be busy at the beginning.

When Albrecht was 18 years old, his lines became thicker and his blue eyes became deeper than ever before. However, blondes still glittering in the sunlight were blown by the wind.

Albrecht rides his horse up into the hills, gazing across his territory at the swarms.

Holy Land is down! Let's go back to recovery! God wants it!

The first to respond to the Pope's relief was the general public. They constantly flocked to the south in order to escape their painful lives, receive the salvation of their souls and take the opportunity to go to heaven.

Countless populations have passed through Oberburn. The priests were leading them, whether they were investigators, bishops or ministers.

The Crusade began with Emperor Byzantine appealing to the Pope for support, but the situation here was very different.

In the beginning, the coastal cities of the East Continent were managed by the League of Merchants, and among them was the Holy Spirit Jairex. It actually worked more like an international port city than a shrine.

Amas waged a unified war on the Eastern Continent and eventually the Holy Land was taken over, threatening other cities managed by the League of Merchants.

It was an external threat that could not be handled by the League of Merchants, and they could not afford to lose their largest business venture, the coastal cities of the Eastern Continent.

So it was the Pope who used it. The Pope of this age was constantly being harassed and run away by the Rambevards, and at this opportunity he responded to the request of the League of Merchants to increase his authority.

Not only did the Pope not just respond to the request of the League of Merchants, but he began to take action and lead.

Among the Feudal Lords, some even sold their territory and many wanderers who did not serve the Lord flocked to the south to seize their chances of success.

Wearing the cover of religion, the interests of the League of Merchants were behind it, and underlying that was people's desire.

Some went to holy restoration for their secular desires, for their pure religious beliefs.

Are there words that incorporate the notion of purity and desire in a dramatically different way? Perhaps it is a wish.

Whether it originated in purity or from filthy desires, people went out to restore the Holy Land to vent their lava boiling aspirations in their hearts.

Albrecht regrets the way those herds are heading south, but he can't let them stay in the territory. It was because they could turn into bandits - even if they were hungry – at any moment.

In front of their procession, a large wooden cross was walking with several people held aloft.

Since those people began appearing on the land in April, a truly countless number of people have passed through the land.

From as few as 10 to as many as 1000, more descended to the south along Oberburn's capital.

When 1000 people came, the conversation was frankly cold. Killing them was easy, but if they ran crazy, their territory would collapse in an instant.

Albrecht has been looking at them a lot lately, and he was worried and worried about turning into a band of bandits, but he wanted to follow me with a sword and a horse in the deepest part of his heart.

The territory was stable, and the mind toward the north was growing day by day. You said you wanted to go far, far away, saying goodbye to Diego in Loibecci.

And that night, Valentina came to the castle.

“Haha, look who it is. You've come a long way with such a hard body. ”

“Long time, my lord. ”

Valentina's belly is ringing, and she lowers her waist slightly. Diego and Valentina were now married, and Valentina was pregnant.

As the Contarini family intended, Albrecht and they became good friends.

At first, I thought they were suspicious and on to something, but in fact, they just needed a midpoint to get inland.

To do so, I needed a reliable and legitimate lord, not a wealthy lord, but Albrecht was right for their needs.

It was good for Albrecht to have more tolls and more logistics. Albrecht and Contarini had a mutually beneficial relationship.

When Valentina first met her, she said, 'I do not deceive or harm the lord.’ ‘I just want to stay in a good relationship.’ I was right.

Albrecht decided not to meet Valentina on the first floor, but in the kitchen on the second floor. Albrecht sits by the fireplace and says,

“Sit down. Sit down. Let's not be too hard on ourselves. ”

However, Valentina's expression was always bright and smiling with her cat-like eyes.

Albrecht was also a second-year resident. In the meantime, I've dealt with many people, including retailers like yourself. So I noticed it all the time.

‘You're here for the Crusaders. ’

Nevertheless, Albrecht smiled at his mouth without revealing himself.

“I don't feel comfortable standing here all by myself. Sit down, or I'll get up. ”

Then Valentina reluctantly sat down. Valentina looks at the firewood without a word, putting her hands on the bare belly.

Since I didn't know what a woman should eat or not eat during pregnancy, I couldn't treat her with alcohol or alcohol alone.

Albrecht merely stared at the flames without a word and did not insist that she speak. The person who was in a hurry had to speak first.

It is not too late to listen and decide whether to be considerate or to take advantage. Diego and Valentina were ready to be considerate, but they didn't have to reach out first.

“Th... my lord. Have you heard the news?”

When Valentina told me that Albrecht had come for the Crusaders, he reached out for his flippers.

“What news? ”

Then Valentina said no more. Albrecht feels sorry for her, but he has a territory to take care of. I thought I had no choice. And she made up her mind.

“I need your help restoring the Holy Land. That's why I came to see you. ”

Albrecht said, "If only it were the same." ’I would have, but I haven't now. I had to be as specific as possible about what they wanted.

“Valentina can help me any time. But what kind of help would that be? I'm not sure. ”

Albrecht said, and Valentina's eyes, which had been worrying for a long time, finally smiled. Then he looked at Albrecht and said,

“You've grown a lot. My lord.”

Albrecht smiles and looks at Valentina.

“Yes. We're the ones with the lights on the back of our feet, so let me tell you first. I need you to raise an army to help us. ”

Albrecht sets his sights on the fireplace as she clarifies her purpose.

“An army......”

Albrecht himself wanted to go to the Holy Land, but he didn't have to show up all the time. It was good to have time to think as much as possible.

“I will consult with the Knights of the Territory and decide. It's too late today, so please stay in the guest room on the second floor. The room will be cleaned up as usual. ”

Albrecht rises with a smile and guides Valentina to her room. Then I went downstairs to Thomas, who was working late.

After the settlement of the territory, the errand remained hands for two and one was a bit tight to do, but sometimes he was only helping him out, and now he was taking his hands off the errand.

“Thomas, send for Randolph and Hermann at dawn tomorrow. ”

Since the start of the Crusade, people have been constantly passing through the territory, so Hermann has been staying in the town of Dung Rock and asked Randolph to stay in Penbach and watch over the capital.

They were still fools, but now they deserve to hear what Albrecht had decided.

The next day, Albrecht spoke with Valentina for breakfast on the first floor.

“But if I raise an army to help, what does the League of Merchants give me? ”

Valentina told me the full story while having a meal, following the instructions given by Mainland.

“I acknowledge the control of the city occupied on the Eastern Continent. ”

Albrecht nods, his head tilting and saying something graceful.

“But that's weird. Occupying is, of course, mine, but I don't know why the Merchant Guild would approve..."

Valentina has nothing more to say about Albrecht's reaction. Valentina is actually here as an envoy, not a negotiation card.

The League of Merchants, among other things, is in a frenzy right now and has set up some kind of direction to attract the Feudal Lords, and Valentina is not at all able to negotiate on her own terms.

Even if we bring Feudal Lords through negotiations, we can get to the main house and change the horse. Then what should I tell Albrecht?

But we have to be as persuasive as possible.

“My lord, the eastern continent is a long way from here. Trade is required to keep a city occupied. We think it would be mutually beneficial to see the profits from trade and to see the Lord taxing them. ”

Valentina said around some kind of threat and solicitation. Capturing a coastal city on the Eastern Continent would be beneficial, but it would be difficult if they didn't trade.

That was the paradox that their recognition was absolutely necessary.

Albrecht smiles a little. Even though he was threatened and turned around, he was not wrong. I didn't think I needed to angle Valentina here.

Albrecht asked me something else.

“But the part where you talk to the Pope? In any case, we raise an army in the name of the Holy Father, don't we need his approval? ”

Valentina found this most challenging. In fact, they did not expect the Pope to be so active. It was just Amas taking down Zairex, going through the other cities, an idea that came out of the countermeasure.

And the League of Merchants, who decided there was nothing to lose, poked at the Pope, took off their feet and showed a move to lead the Crusaders.

Plus, there were more people than I could have imagined. Most of them were useless garbage, in fact, but many of them were even lords selling to the territory.

I kept in touch with the Pope and was talking to him, but it didn't seem easy to get a lead because the subject of the war had to be the Pope.

Valentina did not want to persuade Albrecht to lie, to mix truth with lies, or to do so in a manner that conceals the truth delicately. It didn't even seem to work now.

In the beginning, it was against the Contarini way. It was like Contarini's idea to make a profit through a deal, and to lose someone at the same time.

At times, it was not possible for the Contari family to break the trust they had once built up into thin waters, even though they were ruthless to the ignorant.

Valentina remembered the day she left here that Albrecht told her to take her body armor. I had no choice but to bet there now.

“To be honest, the situation itself is out of our hands and no one can predict the future. The Pope is the subject of the war, and we plan to supply the Lord with all our strength if he goes to war. I can promise you that there will be great benefits to capturing coastal cities on the Eastern Continent. We will do everything in our power to help you take it. ”

Albrecht drank wine, smiling a little. That's how Valentina talks. I thought I was big enough.

No, maybe it was better to be honest and not do tricks for no reason. I thought it would be great if Valentina knew about it and said that.

And as I told Valentina before, she is not a merchant. Lord and knight.

He drank a sip of wine and lowered his glass.

“Thank you for telling me the truth. Valentina Yang. Then I should at least repay you there. Maybe we can join the fight. But you could be disappointed. Anyway, this late afternoon, maybe Randolph and Herman will come. I'll talk to them when they get here. Stay on the second floor first. ”

And Albrecht stood up. Simply wrapped in a sword around your waist, you make your way out of the castle on Schwarz. I ran east toward the White March.

After an hour of running around the corner, you can see the majestic earth in the distance. That overwhelming sight always humbled itself, and at the same time stabilized my mind.

Over the past few months, I have spent more and more time thinking about the White March.

I look back on the past. Erik was banished from the territory by killing Erik, met Diego, acted like a fool in Lloyd Becky, eventually survived and returned to Penbach, fascinated by the beautiful landscape and stayed in Vittenheim for months, fighting the war and gaining land by raising a ball.

What will you do now? Though the mind is always heading north, there is no turning back.

Oberburn has stabilized and is doing well on its own without the need to take care of people. The more I did, the more I felt like this wasn't my place. I just want to go far away.

What will you see when you leave? Will I see the pain of those who are no different from here? Will I see boiling, blatant desires? Will I ever see the inherent cruelty of man? What can I do in the middle of that storm?

You turn your horse and head to the place where you hit the cows and goats. You greet the villager who takes care of the livestock from afar and turn your horse slowly around the corner.

A long time ago, people from outside villages came and went to the place where they were farming. There are several dense huts. Only a few furnishings remained, and they were still building farms here. He'll have a family, he'll have children, he'll have children.

When they see Albrecht, they take off the cap and bend at the waist. I raised my hand again and turned my head.

I looked around the castle slowly, and it was after lunch and around dinner. As you enter the castle, you see Randolph and Hermann.

“Come to the second floor. I need to talk to you. ”
