194 Chapter 194 The Ritual of General Attack (1/2)

◆ Yukinojo ◆

”Please come in.”

The priest led me to a room about inside the Mansion.

”Are we going to do the general's nomination ceremony here?

”Thank you on the left. Here you go.”

Hmm.

The priest prompted me to enter the room.

But when I looked inside the room, the rest was confused.

”What? Isn't it just a room?

Yes, the room that the priest showed me was a normal room that could be anywhere.

I don't think it's a sacred place to perform a very general assault ritual.

”Oh, are you here?”

When I heard that voice from the back of the room, I noticed that there were more customers.

I thought there was a priest waiting to perform the ceremony of the general's assault, but the moment I saw him, I was confused again.

”... what are you?

I can't help saying that.

After all, the man was dressed in a filthy manner that he did not think to be a priest.

Not dressed like a people, not dressed like a samurai, dare you say exotic clothes with colors up and down.

However, I felt that it was not exotic clothing because the design of the clothes worn by the person was Tianfeng style.

”Hahahaha, don't you know who I am?”

The man laughs happily despite being told he doesn't know who he is.

Who the hell are you? Is it true that you were here in connection with the General's assault ritual?

But that question blows up in the next ridiculous remark made by a man.

”I am the Emperor. I can rule this country.....”

”Hah!?”

Yes, and even more so, this man said he was the emperor.

Too disrespectful a remark, and the rest of you suddenly raise your crazy voice.

”Don't be ridiculous! I can't believe the Emperor is a filthy man like you!

Yes, the Emperor is the most precious symbol of this country. Definitely not such a dirty man.

”Ha ha ha ha! Did you see a dirty man?!

But the man laughs without showing any shame at his disrespectful remarks.

”It is disrespectful to deceive the Emperor's name! You'll punish yourself!

As a samurai serving the Emperor, as the next general, you must not let such mischief-makers go wild!

”Yukinojo-sama, I can't calm down.”

But somehow the priest stood in between and stopped.

”Why stop!? This man is a sinner who deceived the Emperor's name!

Yes, it's an unimaginable sin to deceive the Emperor's name.

But why does the priest serve the Emperor stop!?

”I'm not cheating.”

”What?”

”This filthy man is the Emperor himself, who is the supreme power of our country.”

”Hah!?”

Unbelievable words pop out of the priest, and the rest round his eyes.

This filthy man really is the Emperor!?

”I know how you feel, but it's true.”

”Hey, you're gonna treat me like a filthy old man.”

”It's true.”

”No... but...”

I can't believe it. Are you saying that this man dressed like a worker who works in the workshop is the Emperor himself who binds the samurai of Tianfeng!?

But the words of the local priest who performed the general's assault ritual.

Should I... believe you?

”That's why I said Emperor. At the very least, I think you should dress a little better.”

”What an emperor. Anyway, such a thing is a name for itself. If this kid finds out why, he'll soon be convinced why I'm dressed like this.”

”Why?”

The clergyman and Emperor... had a strange conversation and leaned their necks unexpectedly.

”Right, kid. He's right. I'm a real emperor.”

”... hah!? But I'm sorry, Emperor! In the rest, I would like to say that the Summer Festival of Yonglian is the first son of Yonglian Yukinojo. The Emperor told me.....”

The dirty thing in front of me right now... I don't know if you're really the emperor.

But I have no choice but to believe that this is the Emperor more than the priest can prove.

If so, the previous attitude is very unpleasant.

Nina, this is so much disrespect that we have to cut our bellies!

The rest rushed down on her knees and lowered her head.

”Ah, that's good. I also know that you are the son of Summer Festival in a letter from Mitsu.”

However, the Emperor told me to stop it as if it didn't matter if my hand fell down in trouble.

Bye!

The Emperor raised his face while offering his gratitude to his uncle.

”Wait, wait, wait. Listen to me first. It's important. And finally, that's why I'm dressed like this.”

”Meaning!? Are you dressed like that!?”

Speaking of which, it seems that such a thing was said earlier.

”Exactly. Because the Emperor is not the name of the king who governs this country. The Emperor is the name of the magic item manager who protects this country from disasters!

”Magic, magic tool manager!? Emperor!?”

The Emperor is the keeper of the magic equipment!? What does that mean?!

”Oh, it goes back thousands of years. The ancient magical civilization once reflected in this world collapsed by an incident. However, we don't really know about the incident either. They say it was a fight against the legendary Magus, the failure of a massive magic experiment, and eventually it was caused by a natural mutation.”

Ha.

I have certainly heard the story.

The story of the ancient catastrophe and the trouble that has befallen the whole world is a fairy tale that anyone who is a child of Tianfeng knows.

”So, here's the problem. The land of Heaven Peak where we live has also been affected by the catastrophe. At that time, much of the land of the heavenly peaks was sunk in the sea, and the sky, the earth and the sea were so desolate that it was the end of the world.”

”The end of the world.....”

The fairy tale I heard from my grandmother and grandpa was a little blurry, but the emperor was sure of the scale of the disaster.

”I can't even get on a ship and escape to another continent in this state. So the ancient magical civilizations who survived created huge magic items to stop the disaster in the heavenly peaks. Because of this, the disaster that struck the Heavenly Peak Land has calmed down, and it has become the Heavenly Peak Land as you know it.”

Oops!

Holy shit! I didn't know there was such a history in Tianfeng's past!

”People called the developers of magic items who had stopped the disaster remarkably heroic. And I asked them to become kings to lead us.”

”Is that the beginning of the emperor's family...?

”Oh, but it was my ancestors who got into trouble.”

However, the emperor shrugged his shoulders in trouble.

”Why are you in trouble? Isn't it natural for a hero who saved his country to be king?

It is often heard of heroes making a nation. I often hear stories from other countries and myths of founding a nation.

”Well, it's a common story. But I didn't think my ancestors should.

Indeed, the land of Heavenly Peaks and the people were saved thanks to giant magic items. But magic items are tools. People have to maintain it. I don't know when I'm going to get sick or when I'm going to break, so I can't leave you alone and play king. ”

”That's....”

If you ask me, yes. Not only the samurai's armor, but also the tools used in everyday life will one day break.

There is no guarantee that only magic equipment will not break.

”Besides, in the unlikely event someone kills you for the throne, this country will perish one day when the magic item is broken. That's all I have to do.”

Mmm, that's true.

There is a way before us to save the country, but the key thing is that it is broken and there is no former child.

”That's why my ancestors decided. I'll leave the real power of politics to others, and we'll be decorations.”

”So the general ruled the country?

”Ah. Our Emperor's family inherited the knowledge and technology of magic items, only to repair deteriorating magic items. And I decided to teach that fact only to those who would be future generals. This is the truth of the general's assault.”

I see. If that is the case, I can understand why the Emperor has entrusted power to the General.

”Why only the general? Who wouldn't let the others know?

Hmm, that's all I care about. If magic equipment could be a threat to the survival of the nation, would the people of Tianfeng need to stand together to protect it?

But the emperor who heard it scratches his head with a bitter smile.

Ah, what is it?

”If you say so badly, the general's house will serve as a shield.”

”Shield?

”Yes, if you know the truth about the Emperor's role, you will also find out who is after the Emperor's technology and giant magic items. And there is a danger of subjugation to domestic peace.”

”Well, that's true.”

Yeah, if you ask me. If you use magic equipment to protect your country, is it natural that it can be used as a tool to rule your country if abused?

”Of course, I can't use magic tools that conveniently. Unconscious people will think that only the land within the hostiles' clan should be removed from the protection of magic items, but in reality, all the domestic and surrounding seas are within the scope of magic items. If we stop the device for blackmail, it could destroy my home overnight.”

”Well, you deserve it.”

When you threaten to get everything, it's no joke that only your own domain is destroyed.

”In fact, there used to be a fool who really tried to do it. After the big mistake, the other lords decided to help keep the information secret if they got involved.”

And now it's in its present form.

”That's why.”

I see. The magic tools to protect the country are not that convenient to use, but some people will not believe it until they actually use it where I explained it.

If you could use it in such a convenient way in the first place, would generations of emperors and generals have used it well?

Proof that the Emperor's words were correct is that he did not do so.

”But what is the relationship between what we're talking about and what we're wearing?

”That's easy. Like I said, I'm the heir to a magic item engineer that's been passed down from generation to generation. That's why I'm building huge magic items to keep the country safe all day long. I mean, these are my work clothes.”

”Work clothes!?”

Oh, if you ask me, clothes that resemble exotic clothes don't look like work clothes without sparkling decorations.

”At least I wanted you to wear decent clothes when you look at me.”

The priest complains that he will do it properly in an official setting.

Apparently the Emperor is quite a jerk... he seems to be free.

”Don't be silly. Can you believe I'm a magic item engineer in such a shivering outfit?”

Well, that's true, but....

”You couldn't believe you were the Emperor even in that outfit.”

I don't know. In fact, I couldn't believe it.

”Ah, it's fine. As a result, you believed me!

Yeah, I'll be your witness.

However, I didn't know that the Emperor was a magician.

It's hard to believe, but I don't think I would bother bringing a general to make a farce.

I wonder if the story so far has been true.

”Oh, that's why I left politics to you! That's it, General. That's it!

”Yeah!? Is it that easy!?”

The Emperor, who was supposed to have argued with the priest just now, has appointed Yu as a general in Nori to tell him a little business.

”Oops! I'm the emperor. I'll give you permission. It's okay!

So, what was the trouble until you came here?

”Please wait. I'm not talking about the most important thing.”

And there the priest stops trying to get out of the room.

”Ah, that's right. Hey, kid, lend me your knife.”

”You want a sword?

I don't know, but the rest give me the sword as I was told.

And when the emperor grasped the sheath of the sword, he stared at the pattern without pulling out the blade.

”All right, all right, you're inheriting it.”

”Inherit it? It's just a sword my father gave me to celebrate my first dress?

”Oh, the swordsmanship. But this is different.”

When the emperor disassembles the pattern, he removes the turtle from the sword.

”Sword Tsubaki...?

”Yes, this is important. This is the key to activating the giant magic item that protects the country.”

”Tsubaki is the key to magic equipment!?”

What is it!? What is it!?

”Wow. The key to activating the gigantic magic item is to be held by generations of emperors and generals in two blade cuffs, the Dagger and the Side Sword. The Emperor's key is stuck in the device to activate giant magic items all the time. Your key is a spare for when something happens to that key.”

”That's what this Tsubaki means.....”

I didn't know there was such a secret in the sword my father gave me.....

Hmm, I'm really glad you had your sword with you when you ran away from the castle...

”Let's take it and get to the gigantic magic item. Therefore, if I register you mainly in the Tsubaki, your general's name will be finished....”

I wonder if there was a spare key in this place as soon as I got here.

It was then.

The moment the Emperor tried to rise, the walls of the Mansion suddenly blew up.

Guaa!

”Are you okay, Saburo!?”

Looking in the direction of the scream as he withstood the blast, the priest was wounded protecting the emperor.

There was a painfully broken building material stuck on his back.

”Not only was it lucky to be able to break into the country, but it was also lucky to know the existence of spare keys.”

Beyond the earth and smoke, I heard the voice of a strange man with the sound of dragging something.

”Who are you?!

”Oh, excuse me. My name is Zarquois, the Magus Zarquois.”

That's how it appeared: the magic of black and brown skin, silver hair, and bat feathers from the back.

He was one of the frightening wizards who attacked me before.

”Magus!?”

I never thought I'd show up here again!

”Stupid!? A wizard!? This village has boundaries where the bad guys can't get in!?”

But the Emperor shouted more surprises than ever.

Or were there boundaries in this village?

But the Magus laughed and denied that there was no point in the union.

”Kukukukuku, the boundary is meaningless to me. Come on, give me the key. Unless you want to be like this man.”

Ugh

When the Magus lifted one arm out of the dust and smoke, there was a wounded Qingchen figure.

”Hayashi!?”

”Wah, young... please run away...”

Clear minister told me to run away with a weak voice.

”What have you done to Harumi!?”

”Why, I was standing like a dog in front of the mansion. I was just playing a little bit.”

The rest of the wizards shake with anger when they answer nothing.

”You!

”Now give it to me. I have to give it to this man....”

That said, when the Magus pulls Haruko's arm uncomplicated, the kimono sleeve is torn and the scream rises.

”Gwaaaaa!”

”Hayashi!

”What's wrong? If you don't hurry, I'll rip this guy's arm off.

”Haaa!

The magician showed her how she was suffering with a pleasant smile.

”Hold on!

”No, you can't. Give it to me and the earth of Heaven and Peaks.....”

”Shut up, Grandpa!

Wow!?

When the Magus waves his arm, the Emperor and the priest are blown away.

Ikan, the lives of the Emperor and the priests are in danger, not only of Harukoshi!

”Okay, okay. I'll give you the keys. So give it back to me!

When the sword Tsubaki is thrown at the Magus, the Magus releases his hand and receives saliva from Harumi.

”Kuhahahaha, now I've got the key! Hey, I'll give it back to you!
