37 – Sunstone Fragment-3 (Illustrated)
The northern part of the empire, where cold winds blow.
It is the front line of the empire where all kinds of wild beasts and demons flow, and a harsh area where numerous troops reside.
Kwasik!
Smashing the head of the demonized deer, Rasputin looked up at the sky.
There are so many people who want to kill people, so why is the sky so blue?
“Rasputin.”
“What is it?”
Just as I was immersed in the scenery and appreciating it, a man who appeared to be an adjutant approached me.
To block the cold, he covered his entire body with fur clothing, but he was sniffling as if he could not completely block the chill of the north wind.
“This is an order to repatriate from the home country. His Majesty the Emperor has ordered Rasputin’s exile.”
“Your Majesty the Emperor must be a damn prince.”
“Rasputin!”
“I know, I know.”
Rasputin waves his hand and chases his adjutant away.
As the adjutant said, what appeared to be the emperor’s envoys were approaching Rasputin on horseback.
“Rasputin, stand up and accept the emperor’s edict.”
“….”
“What should I do? Don’t kneel down quickly!”
A traitor to the empire who looks at Rasputin with an arrogant expression.
I wanted to turn everything upside down, but… Rasputin had countless lives in his hands that he had to take responsibility for.
Soldiers and generals following him.
And the countless people carrying it on their backs.
Abandon them and come to the center?
That treacherous man says it so easily, but if he goes to the center, the battle line will be in jeopardy.
The reason why he, one of the empire’s five stars, was sent to the north.
Has the current emperor not heard from the previous emperor?
Coo coo coo coo coo.
Rasputin gains momentum and looks at the treacherous man.
Considering the favor he had received from the previous emperor, he did not kill them with a single blow.
When I thought about the traitors living in the center, I couldn’t hold back my boiling blood.
However.
If he kills that traitor now, the people living in the north will be in trouble.
The weight of carrying thousands of lives is truly heavy.
“God, Rasputin. I accept your royal decree.”
“Hmm.”
When Rasputin, who had been gaining momentum, knelt down like a gentle sheep, the treacherous man laughed mirthlessly.
“Listen to Rasputin, my loyal subject. You have gone through a lot of trouble protecting the rough northern part of the country. I would like to thank you for your hard work. Please have Rasputin, my loyal subject, come down to the capital as soon as possible. ” … “
“Rasputin, the Five Star of the Empire, please quickly receive Your Majesty’s orders!”
When Rasputin hesitated without answering, the treacherous man touched his bushy beard and shouted.
“Can’t you answer?”
“…God, Rasputin. I accept your orders.”
Rasputin gritted his teeth and accepted the emperor’s orders as if he had no choice.
“It should come out like that.”
The position of the traitor who was now smiling cunningly in front of Rasputin was lower than that of Rasputin, but the power he wielded was higher than that.
“Okay then, let’s go. We are leaving for the capital of the empire in 4 days, so pack your bags and join the group as soon as possible. hahahaha!”
The traitor, who had always looked upon Rasputin with affection, laughed and left.
Puzzle.
Rasputin grits his teeth and glares at the traitor as he leaves.
But I couldn’t do anything.
The weight he carried and his position as the Empire’s understanding force strongly suppressed Rasputin’s true nature.
“Are you…Are you abandoning us?!”
“Rasputin! Please!”
“Seo.. no way.”
“Everyone go away!”
The adjutant drew his sword and pushed the crowd back, but the crowd instead moved towards Rasputin even more fiercely.
Emperor’s edict.
With just that one word, all the people around him gathered around Rasputin.
When the contents of the edict were announced to the public, the people shouted at Rasputin with thoughtful faces.
The savior of the North, the slayer of demonic beasts, the second coming of the God of Power.
From noble mtl dot com
Countless achievements were achieved in the North.
The northerners believed and followed Rasputin.
However, Rasputin said he would leave the north and go to the center of the empire.
Countless people cried.
“Please don’t go!”
“Where are you going and leaving us behind?”
“Please don’t throw it away!”
“…”
Plain piles of snow.
And the sun was shining harshly on it.
“Whoa…”
Rasputin let out a deep sigh mixed with common sense and walked to pack his luggage.
With the groans and screams of countless people.
************************
“…”
The heavy thoughts disappeared, and Rasputin slowly opened his eyes.
The ceiling was unfamiliar, it wasn’t the inn where he usually stayed.
“You lost.”
Memories from earlier pass by like a video tape.
I lost, I lost to a kid whose name and origin I didn’t even know.
No matter how rusty his skills were, he was one of the empire’s leading men.
But when I thought I lost to some random kid, I just laughed.
“Wake up, old man.”
Harvey, who was sitting in the corner with a bandage wrapped around him, spoke to Rasputin.
Perhaps because the wound had not yet fully recovered, the bandage was stained with red blood.
“…Where are you, kid?”
” motel. “
“It looks like you escaped safely.”
” Not yet. “
Just as Harvey said, there were still patrols outside, moving around looking for Rasputin and Harvey.
“So what are you going to do with me?”
“I told you, the loser goes under the winner.”
“What are you going to use your useless body for?”
“There’s a lot to write about, and the name of the Empire’s Five Stars is quite useful.”
” …under. “
Rasputin let out a small laugh at Harvey’s words.
“Why do you want me, kid?”
“Because the sense of purpose is right.”
“A sense of purpose?”
“The goal is to destroy the empire.”
“I cannot accept that. I am loyal to His Majesty the Emperor.”
“He must be the previous emperor.”
Jump and jump.
Harvey, who has finished wrapping his bandages, slowly walks towards Rasputin.
“Now the emperor knows that you, old man, are not in your right mind.”
“Hmph, what does that have to do with it?”
“It means that he has lost his mind to the point of throwing you out, the Empire’s wise man.”
The empire is not normal now.
The emperor goes crazy and drives out his subjects, and only treacherous subjects remain to rule the empire.
However, despite this, no one stopped the emperor’s tyranny.
No, I couldn’t.
This was because the power of the emperor of the empire was so great.
“Isn’t that why the old man who was trusted by his father was kicked out?”
“I…for different reasons.”
“That’s not even funny.”
Harvey criticizes Rasputin’s excuses.
“It seems common for decades of loyalty to give way to a few months of flattery.”
“…”
“The empire is as rotten as it gets. Even if it is strong right now, it will surely collapse in the future.”
After saying, “Just figure it out,” Harvey left the room.
Rasputin just sat on the bed and was lost in thought.
************
“I’m going to get the sunstone.”
“Aren’t you going with that man?”
“It’s not time yet.”
Rasputin can only be used by destroying the loyalty to the empire, the loyalty that the man has upheld so far.
“The shadow of the previous emperor still remains.”
The previous emperor of the empire was a capable person.
The administration was reorganized, laws were overhauled, and the border was secured by driving out surrounding immigrants through wars of conquest.
“It seems that no human is perfect.”
Although he ruled diligently for the empire, the previous emperor was poor at farming his children.
Because of his busy work, he was unable to spend time with his son, and the crown prince eventually fell for the sweet words of those around him and ascended to the throne as a tyrant.
“Isn’t it obvious? Countless kingdoms have arisen and fallen, nothing lasts forever.”
“The time of destruction is too close.”
The empire should never have collapsed like this.
The world had to be ruled by focusing on the administrative reforms of previous generations.
However, the story took a twist.
History has been distorted by someone, and the empire begins to fall further and further into ruin.
“When the empire collapses, the era of warlords comes.”
“I will be a military leader. Are you planning to take advantage of the chaos?”
“To be precise, you are creating the chaos yourself.”
For that purpose, I am gathering colleagues.
I have no intention of being satisfied with just the academy.
The goal is to bring in all the talented people who would have originally joined the dark organization.
Weakens the enemy’s power and strengthens our own power at the same time.
Rasputin was also originally supposed to be in the dark organization.
However, before the organization contacted us first, we laid out the work first.
Rasputin’s recruitment is approaching.
If the man known as Kwon Seong helps him with his work, he will be able to achieve his goal more easily.
“I don’t quite understand.”
“I have a lot in mind, let’s go find the sunstone first.”
The three-legged crow tilted his head and asked a question.
He flapped his uniform collar instead of feathers and asked Harvey for an explanation, but Harvey shook his head and continued talking.
“Everything happens after we find the sun stone.”
After leaving the inn where Rasputin was staying, Harvey and the three-legged crow walked straight into the darkness.
The goal was to take the sunstone fragments, and they were prepared to go all out against the organization.
They also have the goal of finding the sunstone and using magic more efficiently.
It is inevitable that they will intersect and cause friction.
“More than that, dear.”
” ? “
The three-legged crow caught Harvey, who was about to leave, and slowly began to open his mouth.
“Because you carelessly accepted the memories of the bear year, the division in your soul became even more severe.”
“….”
“I think it would be better not to use that power in the future.”
“I’ll keep that in mind.”
The three-legged crow’s advice, Harvey humbly accepted the three-legged crow’s advice.
I didn’t really feel a sense of crisis, but it was an unavoidable problem if I were to achieve my goal.
Jump and jump.
And when Harvey and the three-legged crow arrived at the location.
“Okay, everyone! Let’s start the underground auction now!”
Clap clap clap clap.
The underground auction had already begun.
