Chapter 241 – The Empire (1)

“It is a force that receives divine protection. Maybe others won’t believe it, but honestly, I don’t think it’s a complete lie given the nonsensical things you’ve shown me.”

The news spreading about Eden is not limited to the North. The news that was transmitted faster through magic communication and the like finally reached King Heinz of the Kingdom of Delos, a neighboring country right next to the Great Forest, and now almost an enemy.

Unlike others, he did not blindly deny the existence of Eden and the source of its power, which thwarted his plans to devour the Great Forest and the elves.

As someone who has been directly affected by it, the power Daesurim now has cannot be explained without using the word miracle.

“Nonsense. Why? Why did such an opportunity come down to such bastards?”

Mera, who was by Heinz’s side, was also shocked. Basically, she was looking down on her people, and she looked even more shocked than Heinz.

Because it was news that drove a wedge into her annoyance at the fact that the power of Daesurim continued to grow stronger.

“So, what are you going to do? Are you going to just keep watching? If they keep growing like this, they won’t leave us alone.”

“Why don’t you calm down a bit. Don’t confuse priorities. Our greatest enemy is not the Great Forest. Oscar is that person.”

Heinz frowned at the sight of Mera grinding his teeth. The reason why he was greedy for Daesurim in the first place was to raise his weight class and have the strength to stand against other enemies.

That enemy was the New Empire, which is now re-establishing order in the world.

‘Oscar Graves. He’s an incredible guy.’

Heinz sighed as he remembered the hero of the past who had risen as regent on behalf of the current emperor. He is a human hero called the Sword Emperor, a mentor to the warriors, and a friend at the same time.

He was the head of a great family with the bones of an empire and a strong and gentle hero who would be recognized by anyone when he was with a warrior. He denied only the parties involved, but everyone around him expected that the Sword Emperor would become a partner with the Hero.

However, the sword emperor changed abruptly the moment the hero left. A cold blade he became himself, slaying his rivals and all the old ministers who stood in his way, and seized his power.

Since then, he has been growing the power regardless of means and methods.

“Mer, as you know, Oscar will invade us as well as the Great Forest someday. Would Daesoorim bow down to him? Given the personality of the queen named Serenian, I don’t think that’s ever going to be the case. There are places to believe.”

“Kuh, don’t even mention that b*tch.”

Mera shuddered when Heinz mentioned Serenian. She would not know if it was Ersilla, who caused a coup d’état in the great forest and became a direct grudge. In fact, Mera had no special relationship with Serenian, but this was her reaction.

Slightly simpler and more radical emotions, completely different from the resentment or hatred Ersilla or Serenian had for each other.

‘Am I getting jealous when I’m almost 200 years older than Erscilla? To the young leader who is leading his people correctly with an upright heart.’

Heinz, who saw Mer Ah’s face crumpled violently, recognized the feelings of her lover, and shed a blank laugh.

She breaks all taboos and she is properly corrupted. She believes that she is right. Serenian was an obstacle by her very existence.

“Since the plan to attack Daesoorim from both sides has been shattered, we have no choice but to save ourselves. We must stop the empire. I have no intention of bowing my head to Oscar.”

“South, there is also a south. It is certain that kingdoms and powers in the south will also covet the Great Forest.”

“South? I don’t think they’ll be very helpful.”

Mera suggested bringing in the forces south of the Great Forest as if it were the last rope, but Heinz shook his head.

The southern powers, which were less affected by the great war than the great grove, judged that the powers were too finely divided, regardless of race, to be of little help.

“Will the few hundred tribesmen of the jungle now be a match for elves armed with full steel and giant ants? Just wait for now.”

“Kuh…”

Mera flinched at his resolute words, but Heinz, whose safety was more important, had no intention of making a hasty move.

“Before, Your Highness. Someone came from the Church of Light.”

“What?”

A guest came to him the next day. He was a completely unexpected guest.

“Is it openly stable?”

After I wiped out the intruders with my laser, the negotiations with the Dwarven Kingdom went well. No matter what the outside situation is, the world inside the pot seems to have reached a stabilization period.

Serenian didn’t bother to go outside and stayed here to take care of things. I would go out in the morning and watch her potted plants, and I would see her get out of her house and get to work.

“This is the core of the labyrinth…”

“I will receive the reward as promised.”

Vampires have also completed their adaptation well. They hired mixed-race beastmen as mercenaries to attack the dungeon together, and quickly closed the dungeon infested with monster mosquitoes.

From where I was looking, the half-breeds were getting the pay they promised to the vampires.

While the mixed-race beasts find a field to use their specialties, it is also interesting to predict what the vampires will do in the future.

“Once the ordeal was resolved well. But, Lord, we must find a way to get food soon.”

“You have no choice but to go outside, right? But even if you go outside, you can’t touch the Dwarf Kingdom because they have made an agreement. We must go to the human realm in the west.”

However, the vampires still had problems to solve, so they had to solve their own food first before doing anything proactive.

The vampires asking Elise how to do it were saying that they had to get out of Eden because they couldn’t find blood.

‘Well, I can’t even accept blood donation right now.’

If they had a lot of money, they would buy it with blood, but now they are broke. All he had was the land and a magnificent castle built on it.

There was a special skill in making magic stones, but it wasn’t all-powerful to create something out of nothing.

‘I will give you something.’

For now, I decided to help. When I thought about it, it didn’t seem like a particularly difficult task.

You can give it blood. And now I could drench them with a drop of blood.

[Now it rains blood? Can you afford it?]

“Who gave you that much? One drop is enough.”

The wind spirit said it in surprise, but I smiled and said it was nothing. As if the wind spirit had already guessed, he thought of putting a drop of blood in a small capsule about 1cm in diameter, just like when he gave gunpowder to the dwarves, without using grandiose methods like making it rain.

“Let me tell you about this…”

“Joe, watch out! Something falls from above!”

The moment I realized that I had dropped the capsules without warning, the moment the capsules were already falling on their heads.

The problem was that I inadvertently assumed that they would know my actions, perhaps because I could hear their voices.

“Kyaaah!”

Her butler, Robert, blew her body and shoved her, rolling her across the floor. The capsule that fell on the path they were walking on actually fell to the ground at a level of width, but from their point of view with their small bodies, it is the level of a meteorite.

“This, this.”

When I became sorry and watched blankly. Elise, who hesitated, approached cautiously and touched the capsule.

Not difficult to destroy, the surface of her capsule was cut away when she raised her fingernail and scratched it lightly.

‘It’s disgusting to see it like this.’

The capsule is half full and dripping with red blood. When I zoomed in, I felt something creepy even though it was my own blood.

“I heard from Lark, who was a mixed-race beast. The god of the sky told the dwarves that he would put powder called gunpowder in something like this.”

“Then is this His will?”

At Robert’s words, Elise’s expression changed strangely as she looked at the puddle of blood. At that time, I was perplexed because I wondered if I had given it the wrong way.

“He really recognized us.”

She smiled and looked at the sky and at me. They thought that I had listened to their voices and given them precious food.

The smile of Elise was simply the smile of a beautiful woman, and it was not pleasant to look at. Like Serenian, the moment I felt the most rewarding while taking care of the world in the pot was when I saw that smile.

A blessing from the sky when you are in despair and struggling. Such a miracle that I myself desperately wanted. It’s such a pleasure to be able to give it to you with my own hands.
