We Live in Dragon’s Peak - Chapter 955
After all, the revelation of Mistral and Niemea led to the opposite treatment of one of us.
“I want you to prepare a room where everyone can stay.”
We rented the entire mansion at the request of Mistral.
With this, it would have been more convenient for me to expose my identity from the beginning, but it only raises a few questions.
But if I had told you about the mist race first, I wouldn’t have been led to the village by the winged people.
“Luiseine told me.
“… so, what do you mean?”
And late at night.
I sneaked out of the mansion and came to the back of a warehouse on the corner of the village.
Why are you here?
It was because I noticed a suspicious sign of wandering around the Mansion and followed it.
However, the opponent knew that he was going to let me read the signals from the beginning and would be tracked, so he seemed to be leading me here.
I called out to the man hiding in the shadow of the warehouse.
Then the man did not hesitate to expose himself before me.
I knew it, Nguyen.
I knew it was going to be terrible, right?
The man who deliberately lured me out by letting me read the signs was Nguyen, as expected.
So, what can I do for you?
I’ll ask you again.
However, Nguyen asked me if I wanted to take the lead in the conversation.
No, you guys are the ones who want to ask me something, right?
“That’s right, I have a lot to ask you.” However, it was Nguyen who called me in, so I want you to tell me the requirements. Besides, I owe you one, don’t I? ”
Before the sun sets. When I reunited with Nguyen, I pretended not to know him. Don’t forget my gratitude, right?
When I said that, Nguyen smiled bitterly and raised his hand.
I didn’t expect to see you guys again in such a despicable place.
“Even we didn’t want to see Nguyen anymore.”
“They hate me.”
I mean, there’s been a lot of waves in the Divine Nation.
Well, then, let me tell you something.
I looked around for signs, but there were no suspicious people lurking.
Still, at night, my voice resounds more than I thought, so both Nguyen and I approach and speak with a loud voice.
“I’m talking about you guys.” I think I’ve already predicted it. I’m undercover in the Emperor Mansion right now. ”
I knew it after all, by the order of Glossy Martial God Taeu?
“My current boss is a lustrous martial god.”
The Emperor who built the Belisarius Empire in one generation. The closest person to it was the shining martial deity Teyu. Nguyen became Teyu’s subordinate after the resignation of the Chi-eye Musketeer Wender.
However, to be precise, I am not serving Teyu as a shining martial god.
Another face of Glossy Martial God Teyu. It was the head of an institution of the imperial court, the House of Lords.
In other words, Nguyen has infiltrated the Imperial Palace on the orders of the Chairman of the House of Lords. Does that mean that the nobility of the Belisarius Empire is included in the Imperial Palace?
“Sure enough, it’s a good idea.” But don’t listen any deeper. There’s something I can’t tell you. Of course, you don’t have to say anything you can’t say. ”
Listening to my reasoning, Nguyen replied.
“I answered one question. Now let me ask you a question. What are you guys doing in a place like this? It’s not like you’re going on a family vacation again, is it?”
“Hmmm…”
What are you talking about, and what are you going to say?
Nguyen said that you don’t have to say anything you can’t.
Now, let me put it to you.
“In a nutshell.” Our friend is being captured by a demon tribe. I came here on a condition to save my friend. ”
“Hey, you got a friend?”
Hmph, Nguyen nodded several times.
“I see. In other words, you’re in a position to negotiate with the demons.” Yes, according to the information we received from Master Wender, two demon kings had joined the battle when we defeated a terrible monster. I see, that’s what it is. ”
Wow. I can’t tell you that much from my thin information.
After all, Nguyen is a guilty songwriter.
So, what are the conditions for rescuing that friend?
You don’t have to tell me. Nguyen raises the edge of his mouth.
Maybe Nguyen’s words are true.
Even so, Nguyen is a masterpiece chosen to be subordinate to the Musketeer God.
Not only is it a superior combat skill, but it also cuts my head off. So when I was tasked with this mission, I think I was mindful of the geography of the buffer zone and the surrounding countries.
And there I was, “To save my friends who were trapped by the demons.”
That’s all I must have guessed.
What kind of demon do I mean by “demon race”? What is our purpose in coming to the buffer zone at the behest of the demons?
“Yes, as expected.” We’ve been told to explore the movement of the Divine Clans that have begun to stand out in the buffer zone. ”
After all, what about the Divine Clans that are now making prominent moves in this land?
Nguyen’s undercover at the Emperor’s Palace.
To my answer, Nguyen smiled.
Now, I wonder how Nguyen will judge it.
Nguyen himself was a God Clan, but not the Emperor Venerable Mansion. I only called myself Emperor Venerable Mansion for the mission.
However, the Imperial Palace will also become a splendid people of the Belisarius Empire, so knowing our purpose, how will Nguyen move?
In some cases, we may need to work with Nguyen here.
But, like Nguyen, I’ve guessed a lot from fragmented stories.
Why did Teyu deliberately send Nguyen to the buffer zone far from the mainland?
Of course, I think it’s an aristocratic connection to the Belisarius Empire. But I wonder if that’s the only reason I’m going to let my heart turn to me?
An aristocrat of the Belisarius Empire was plotting something in the Imperial Palace. However, this buffer zone is far from the Belisarius Empire, and not even the Kalmar kingdom of the same tribe.
Whoever moves on land that has nothing to do with it shouldn’t normally care.
However, Teyu sent Nguyen.
I mean, yeah.
I wonder if Teyu is annoyed that the Imperial Venerable Mansion, as well as the aristocrats, operates here?
So…?
“I have somehow understood your purpose.” It’s good, I’ll take it seriously. ”
And Gwen abandoned the same God Clan as lightly.
However, it is not unconditional.
“I’m turning a blind eye to your actions.” However, you shouldn’t touch the only one I’m after. That’s the deal this time. ”
The one you’re after?
“I’ll figure it out.”
In this village, the gods only stayed in Nguyen. And the other Imperial Venerable Mansion was in another village.
That’s why Nguyen’s target is in the village, isn’t it?
Mm-hmm?
What was Nguyen doing in a village where there were no targets?
It looked like they were asking Thrastal to explore whether he could cross the Heavenly Mountains through Seol. Is that why you have to wait for the results away from the other Imperial Venerable Mansion?
Apparently, they have more questions than I do.
“No, I’m sorry, but I don’t think so.”
“Then you can ask me right now.” I’ll lend it to you. ”
Wow, I don’t want to owe Nguyen anything. When Nguyen made an explicitly disgusting face, he said, “Don’t let your emotions get out of your face right away.”
However, I really wanted to ask a lot of questions, so I have no choice but to ask questions.
“Well then, I was wondering during the day.” Why is Nguyen staying in this village by himself? ”
“Oh, there it is.”
Nguyen smiled bitterly as he suddenly pushed his conviction.
“What a simple thing to do. It means running with ease.”
“Nguyen’s running?”… that means there’s someone in the Emperor’s Palace who can give orders to Nguyen? ”
Originally, the Imperial Palace refers to those who worship the idea that “the Emperor of the Belisarius Empire is the Supreme Being”.
However, ideas became more radical, and some people who operated as an organization appeared.
When we travelled within the Belisarius Empire, we were bothered by the Imperial Palace that formed the Cabal.
From what Nguyen had just said, I realized that the Imperial Venerable Mansion was organized even in this buffer zone. In addition, is there a big guy in the organization who can use Nguyen to run?
Maybe that’s Nguyen’s target?
If you are also acting at the request of the demon race, you will meet that demon eventually.
“That one.”
Who could be the target of Nguyen?
Teyu cares so much that he may be one of the most powerful aristocrats in the Belisarius Empire.
“Oh, yes. I remembered it by talking about demons and gods.” What did Theol and Thrastal say about neutrals and gods? ”
I think we need to know a little more about the culture of the Winged and how society works. Otherwise, you might not be able to keep up with the conversation like you did during the day.
Nguyen knows a lot about the Winged.
“You mean them.” Then I’ll give you an extra loan. ”
I’d like to ask you to pay for my career.
There’s no way you’re gonna make a career out of it, is there? With a sigh, Nguyen told me.
“They’re quite different.” Whether it’s the gods or the demons, kings and rulers rule the country, right? ”
Even in the land of our homeland, the king is in charge.
But they’re different.
Nguyen tells us that the Council is the organization that brings together the winged nations in this buffer zone.
“The Council is made up of nine members: three neutrals, three gods, and three demons. Theol is one of the three neutrals and the chairman of the council.”
It is interesting to note that each of the three who are divided into neutrals, gods, and demons does not change their positions by their own interests or by solicitation from other factions.
“In other words, the Neutrals are neutral no matter what, and the Divine Clans persist even if they are seduced by the Demons?”
“Yes, and their faction is defined by their lineage.” If you’re Ceol’s family, you’ll be a neutral with your children and grandchildren. ”
I see, it’s an interesting form of politics.
Is that why it happened? Thrastal said it was a problem because Seol, a neutral lineage, was trying to benefit the Divine Clan.
“Members of the Divine Clan move in response to the will of the Divine Clan. The Demon Clan will benefit the Demon Clan.”
So, what about the neutrals?
“If the Divine Clan, the Demon Clan, and each other move thinking only about the intentions of the Divine Clan and the Demon Clan, the country will not be confused and stuck. At that time, the neutrals will consult with each other and decide which one to prioritize.”
“By majority vote? Is that why there are three of us?”
Ultimately, the Neutrals will argue for the Winged and decide between the Demons and the Divine.
“If you try to establish a king and rule the country, you will surely be resented by the race that was not shouldered among the gods or demons.” In that case, it seems to be a form of politics in which responsibility can be distributed through a collegial system. ”
“If you have a clear faction affiliation, you can excuse your faction’s opinions.”
“Moreover, bribes from opponents don’t make sense, even if the family has a faction.”
No matter how much you bribe me, is it a mechanism that I can’t turn back?
Unique to the winged tribe, it was created by the winged tribe living in the buffer zone between the demon and divine nations.
By the way, where’s Thrastal? He seemed to be tall, too?
He’s a neutral reservist.
“Reservist?”
“There are three members of each faction.” But the situation is the same. No matter how many factions you have, there are still people who will hide. ”
In the worst case scenario, Nguyen and Nguyen showed a handful of swords that slashed their necks.
“The Divine Clans are attacked by the Demons, and the Senators are attacked in order to set up a convenient party to lean on the opinions of the Neutrals themselves…”
“In any world, politics smells of blood. So, the reservists are the ones who are pre-elected, just in case a vacancy occurs for some reason.”
Incidentally, it seems that there is no quorum for reserve members, and even the neutral faction alone holds ten people, including Thrastal, as reserve members.
“Is there anything else you’d like to ask?” As for me, I can lend as much as I want. ”
All without interest!
Fufufu. I’m already the Eight Great Dragon Kings, and I’m sent by the Dragon God. I don’t think we’re going to make a career out of this, so if I tell you, you won’t have to pay me back forever!?
You’re doing something wrong, aren’t you?
It’s your imagination, isn’t it?
“As I said earlier, You have an expression of thought.”
Damn it!
“Oh, that’s my trap.” Nguyen was also caught up in a plot not to make you understand. ”
Nguyen smiles bitterly when he leaves it like that.
If you don’t have anything else to ask, shall I go?
“Oh, one last thing. And a word of advice.”
A word of advice?
“The last piece of advice.” Before I do that, I just need to tell you one more thing. The road from this village to the Tenkami Mountains is quite splendid, isn’t it? Even though the Winged can fly, why is the road well-maintained? ”
A path that leaves a mark. What were the Winged carrying when they pulled out the wagon?
When I arrived at this village, I had no idea.
That way, Nguyen raises the edge of his mouth.
It’s a way for the winged tribes to carry the slaves they hunted from across the mountain range in their carriages.
“… after all, Rika”
The Winged had been told in advance that they were carrying out slave hunting by travelling to the cultural sphere of the Western people who had crossed the Heavenly Mountains.
“That’s where it leads to my request.” Looks like they have a secret way out. If you’re going to cross the mountains honestly, you’re going to be attacked by monsters. It seems that they will use the loopholes they have built to bring the slaves from across the mountain range. It seems that the Emperor Venerable Mansion is trying to find its way out. ”
There’s a loophole!?
The monster from the mountain range that the Winged also spoke of was probably the eastern mage Momo-chan.
Certainly, Momo-chan will not forgive the winged tribe who entered the Heavenly Mountains with their slaves. However, from the past to the present, the Winged have been hunting slaves in the West.
So there’s a way out that Momo doesn’t even know.
Okay, let’s teach Momo-chan to crush it.
“Did you say something?”
“No, it’s nothing.” Talk to yourself, then. Last time. ”
And I looked up at the night sky. [M]
If you want to continue the undercover investigation in a peaceful manner, you should leave without futile resistance.
What do you mean? Gwen followed my gaze and looked up at the night sky.
Then, the expression was made stronger and stronger.
A huge shadow flew past the night sky at high speed.
A flying dragon!
Oh, my God!
Fai-lone found the village and raided it!!
Late at night, a rough and terrible roar rang over a quiet winged village.
