Episode 262-The Value of Freedom (2)

“Do you want me to meet Go Soo among the mixed race beasts and humans? Uh, why?”

“I’m going to try learning their wild body techniques.”

Serenian was surprised to hear what I said. I chuckled because it was an expected reaction and told him my purpose without even bothering to hide it.

“I don’t know if it’s possible to learn, but I’ll give it a try.”

There were many things I learned after being able to listen to their conversation.

Something like a secret art practiced by the combative beast-human mixed race. Originally, only beasts with special powers called wildness could learn them, but mixed-bloods were also able to learn them. On the contrary, the fact that it is learned through systematic training appealed to me because the percentage of people who are born with it instinctively is small.

If I succeed in learning it, I may once again be able to provide my own help to the hunters fighting the machinations of the Demon World.

“…I understand. “I’ve already tried it once, so I’ll definitely take good pictures.”

Since Serenian didn’t seem to want to let anyone else in here, she scaled down her filming equipment and gave it to her.

She quickly learned how to use the equipment and will directly teach the secret techniques to the beast-human mixed race.

‘It is the power of a warrior.’

Afterwards, outside the flower pot, I watched her explain my words to Serin, the leader of the beast-human mixed race, and begin filming.

The power to learn the power of all races is the power of a warrior. The uncle’s daughter… With that power, the hero became an absolute powerhouse and won the battle against the Demon King, who was said to be the king of the Demon World.

It is clear that it is a fraudulent force. If that power is passed on to enemies, we and the world inside the flower pot become dangerous.

[Orca was both in awe of the hero’s power and wary at the same time. It is said that before the hero appeared, the person who was called the strongest on the continent was that man.]

“Did you feel something when you saw the hero’s power? “I don’t know why he’s so f*cking stupid.”

When the wind spirit brought up the story of the Orca, my brow furrowed.

He was the center of hostile forces, and from what I heard, he wasn’t a person I particularly liked. It feels like a dictator with his own bullsh*t philosophy.

Of course, I don’t know the details, but since Orca has joined hands with the Demon World that opposed Eden and fought to the death for his strange beliefs, and as long as part of that Demon World threatens the world I live in, I can’t just leave it alone. There wasn’t.

I learned from Parti that he had clearly heard through the envoy why the hero had no choice but to leave his side, but it is also strange that there is no change in his attitude.

‘You already knew?’

If he already knew the warrior’s situation, it could explain why his attitude remained the same. However, if that happens, it is strange that he did not stop the hero from being unfairly criticized for running away irresponsibly.

If he had known that he had not been betrayed, there was no way he would have stood by and watched his lover get criticized even though he helped her at best.

“He is an extremely dangerous person.”

I judged him that way. He was a bold and capable person who knew that he could not influence the world outside the pot and took a bold step forward.

As I said, no matter how much support I provide, it is entirely up to the residents to utilize it properly in the world outside the flower pot.

“Welcome. “I had no idea that the Prime Minister of a country would come in person.”

“I mean, it’s that important.”

In Eden, the point at which Serenian, who had visited the village of the mixed race of beastmen and humans, was to act under Seunghyeon’s instructions.

Benert and Leon, who hurried their steps, reached La Lira quite quickly. The Prime Minister of La Lira, who welcomed them, was looking at them with eyes that seemed to have already decided what to say.

“I think what we know and what we want to say are the same anyway. “The eyes of the New Empire are still focused on this place, so let’s talk quickly.”

“This is what I hoped for.”

Even though Benert stepped forward, the eyes of the prime minister who represented him were fixed on Leon. That’s how mysterious the elves were.

It is surprising that such people suddenly emerge from the forest, become the main axis of a force, and begin to operate in earnest.

“Actually, the Empire is holding us by the leash. In order to expand to the continent, we must pass through the central trade routes, but those places have all fallen into the hands of the empire. Even if there is no war, the Empire can slowly kill us. “Can you solve that?”

“That’s enough. “If trade routes are a problem, why not find a new place?”

In response to the Prime Minister’s words, which got straight to the point without any of the customary pretense, Benert nodded as if it was nothing.

His attitude was so confident that others at the scene were slightly embarrassed.

“If there are any supplies you need, we can provide them. We can even support things you never thought of. Even without interaction with the empire, the citizens of this republic will be able to live a more prosperous life than they do now.”

“…!”

Negotiations have begun. Laria clearly had something she wanted, and the alliance that wanted to make them her allies just had to persuade them.

In this process, the bullets that Eden has are virtually infinite. No matter what conditions they asked for, they were able to accommodate them without difficulty.

“Now, let’s have an internal discussion for a moment.”

The Prime Minister hurriedly convened an internal meeting. What the Empire, a thorough imperial dictatorship, demands from them is the dissolution of the Republic and complete absorption and merger.

If you cooperate, you will barely get your life, let alone a proper position or power. However, what this coalition led by Eden wants is simply an alliance.

In fact, it was impossible to even think about which would be more beneficial to them.

‘In the end, it depends on your choice. ‘Jackpot or death.’

The Prime Minister swallowed dry saliva. There was no awkward tightrope walking or neutrality. Once you make a choice, it determines whether you will be defeated or won.

“I would like to ask you one last question. “Is free exchange and alliance really all you want?”

“One more thing, I want some of the magic engineers in this country.”

The Prime Minister, who came back secretly from an internal meeting, asked Benert and Leon if they wanted anything else.

This was the question I had been waiting for. Benert, who noticed a bit, brought up the story of the magic engineers.

“Are you asking me to move the magic engineers? “Why on earth?”

“It is for the development of academics. “I know this is an unreasonable request, but the Elf Queen promised that those who volunteer will receive the highest treatment.”

Since the Empire has a strong military power through magic engineering, which has been rapidly developing since the Great War, the value of magic engineering has naturally increased.

When the Prime Minister got defensive, Venert smiled bitterly and couldn’t help but hold on to how he could not.

However, it was difficult to readily grant permission to those who were not just property but also key personnel.

“Let me be clear: this is something that will benefit both of us. “If the negotiations go well, we will become one, so please take that into consideration.”

At that time, Leon, who had been silent, opened her mouth. Then, the Prime Minister’s eyes trembled upon hearing those words, as if he felt something.

“…I think this will also have to go through an internal meeting. “I will say it carefully.”

“Thank you.”

The Prime Minister has already made up his mind. He decided that it would be advantageous to hand over the magic engineers and stick to the alliance. There was still a step left to persuade others, but public opinion was already gradually tilting.

“I should tell you that the negotiations are ending smoothly. “The final decision has not been made yet.”

“Didn’t I tell you? Didn’t they say that if given the opportunity and hope, they would definitely choose us?”

“Coercive violence has its limits. “I’ve been feeling it lately.”

Benert and Leon, who expected that the outcome of the negotiations would be good, reported this news to their respective superiors. Meanwhile, Leon listened to Benert and nodded his head.

From the moment he was betrayed by his own people and joined the Serenians, everything was a continuation of struggle. In the process, he learned many things that he did not realize when he was just an elven herbalist living only in the great forest.

Those were things I could feel and know because I was an elf who knew nothing about them.

‘Regent Orca still hasn’t escaped the great war.’

Leon, who did not experience the Great War, was convinced that Orca, who was leading the expansion and control of the empire, was still trapped in those days.

It may have been right at the time, but time has already passed and the world has changed.

“I hope you will take good care of me in the future. This is good news. New comrades.”

And in the end, as the final decision was made, their goals of securing new alliances and securing human resources were successfully completed.
