Chapter 120
“Finally, Windsor has been removed from the system. “It looks like he won’t be returning during the academy vacation.”
A regular meeting of sinners.
Chiron went straight to the point.
“If you want to make your plan a reality, now is the time.”
“Hehehe, that’s a nice sound to hear.”
Ivan, who was given the position of ‘Pride’ this time, let out an unpleasant laugh.
Chiron said without hesitation.
“I received the information well last time. Thanks to you, we achieved the feat of safely infiltrating lust into the North.”
The sin of lust, Lilith.
Her specialty is genjutsu.
It was specialized in manipulating human emotions, and had powers so powerful that even the Grand Wizard could not notice them.
She has now safely infiltrated the North.
The North is a land not permitted to warlocks.
The extreme cold is fatal to physically weak magicians, so they have no choice but to use magic.
The problem is that there is no way the ‘Queen of the North’ could not notice the current of black magic occurring in her territory.
That’s why Lilith casted the ‘Secret Magic of the Soul’ on one of the ‘Academy students’. After wiping out the soul, he put his own soul into an empty body.
This secret technique has many limitations. There is no need to worry about being caught, but the target’s mental power must be quite weak for this to work, and the amount of magic must be large enough to handle the soul of a powerful warlock.
“He said he really liked the shell. It is rare for someone to have a high level of natural magical power but not have sufficient skills. Moreover, it seems that the shell had some level of familiarity with Windsor. Thanks to that, I was able to be called to the North. This time I’m really lucky. “It feels like ‘that person’ is watching over us and protecting us.”
“Hmm, what you’re saying is… Even if we make as much noise as we want, there’s no one who can stop us.”
“B-but if you do something like that, the Emperor will summon Windsor.”
“Windsor is not just.”
Anger was furious.
“They are tolerant of things that don’t happen before their eyes. Even if the empire falls, Windsor will not move. “Selfish things!”
“Hehe, don’t be like that. Thanks to you… wouldn’t we be able to benefit greatly? Chiron. “You have a plan, right?”
Chiron nodded slowly.
“Recovering one of the three sacred relics, the ‘Coffin of the First Emperor.’ At the same time, it creates discord between the imperial family and Windsor, laying the foundation for Lilith to retrieve the ‘cup of magic’.”
Chiron stood up.
He made a grave face.
“So kill as many as you can. “So that we do not lack food for His resurrection.”
**
‘Phew, I’m tired of playing child’s games.’
Victoria showed extremely little emotion. But now he was smiling brightly. It was the result of Ruid’s efforts.
Thanks to this, Ruid’s ‘annoyance limit’ went up to sky high.
“Anyway, son.”
“huh?”
Victoria stood out and touched Luid’s heart.
“The horsepower has increased.”
“What is my magical power?”
“I think it went up by about 10%… I’ll have to measure it to find out the details. huh. “It has definitely gone up.”
‘I can climb further from here.’
Ruid was genuinely surprised by the unexpected fact.
It’s true, but in the first place, ‘Lazy Ruid’s magical power is as wide as the sea.
It was by no means an amount to ignore.
“Have you had any enlightenment? “Otherwise, it would be impossible for magic power to increase to such a large amount.”
“Should I say enlightenment…? I have an assistant. “A very capable assistant.”
“assistant?”
“Thanks to that assistant, I was able to use the fourth magic. “I think that’s probably the cause.”
Victoria patted Ruid’s head and praised him.
“That’s great. “I want to see that assistant, too.”
When the story of Ella came up, Ruid spoke as if bragging.
“I want to bring you with me when you graduate from the academy. Ella is a genius. “It will definitely be a great help to our house.”
Victoria’s eyes lit up.
Northern home education places great importance on independence.
So, there was a rule where you had to directly decide on the employees, escorts, aides, etc.
In other words, what Ruid said was the same as saying that he had decided on his exclusive user.
Irene and Amelia haven’t even decided on their own maid yet.
If this happens, it will be the first time among his children that he will hire someone, but he had no idea it would be Ruid.
“That’s unexpected. “I can’t believe you’re interested in other people.”
“He’s a really smart kid.”
Victoria petted Luid with a quiet smile.
“It doesn’t matter if you’re not smart. Louis, take whatever you want.”
It felt like he was receiving the complaints of a child, so Ruid became dissatisfied.
‘It’s meaningless even if I say it a hundred times. You have to see for yourself to see Ella’s incredible talent.’
I felt like I had a duty to tell Ella how amazing she was.
“I can’t do it. Um… no, mama. “Let’s go to the first line of defense.”
“huh?”
“There is the assistant I mentioned in the first line of defense. “I need to show him his talent.”
Victoria’s face turned red.
‘It’s been a while… I can spend quality time with my son.’
Because I was busy with work, it was rare for me and Ruid to do something alone.
In particular, outings like this were one of the things I always wanted to do but couldn’t do.
I thought it would be okay since Irene decided to take over my work for today.
Victoria looked pleased.
‘He knows how to be considerate of me, so how can he be so considerate?’
“Yes, first line of defense…”
Victoria was about to accept willingly, but her pupils widened.
“Did you just say that the maid was on the first line of defense?”
“Not a maid, but an assistant. And I came here not because it was a vacation, but as a professor at the academy.”
“A professor?”
“?”
Ruid was embarrassed.
It was because Victoria had a face that said she had no idea.
“No way… you didn’t know? “Academy students were dispatched to the first defense line for practice.”
“What, what?”
Victoria was rarely embarrassed.
Soon, he quickly realized the situation and wiggled his eyebrows.
“Irene… this bitch.”
“Yes?”
Victoria quickly erased her angry expression.
He didn’t want to be seen angry in front of his son.
“I knew Louis was coming, but I never heard anything else. “I think they probably submitted a report in writing, but this important agenda…”
Victoria paused.
It was because a fact came to mind.
-Oh, and I have something to report to you.
-Is it urgent?
-no.
-In that case, we will organize the minor reports into documents later, and first investigate the movements of the monsters in detail…
Victoria groaned and clutched her forehead.
I think I was too focused on the movements of the monsters on the 4th defense line.
This was my own mistake.
“Isn’t it okay if I find out a little late? The wave passed through the first defense line. “It’s safe.”
Ruid spoke positively.
Victoria shook her head.
“I didn’t call you Irene for nothing. It would be okay if nothing happened even if the first line of defense was cleared, but something happened.”
Victoria stood up while holding Ruid.
I left the room and headed to the office.
“Recently, quite dangerous ruins were discovered.”
“ruins?”
“We haven’t found out what era it is or what the ruins are. Because we’re still investigating. However, considering that it is very dangerous and its size is quite large, there is a high probability that it is the ‘Tomb of the First Emperor’.”
Ruid asked with puzzled eyes.
“Didn’t you already know that?”
“huh? Ah, there are rumors like that. Did Louis believe it too?”
Victoria seemed to have regained her composure and smiled softly.
“It’s to deceive the grave robbers.”
“Grave robber?”
“Louis also went to the Islands, you understand? More than a thousand years have passed since the first emperor died, but it is still maintained. “As he is the first emperor of mankind, there are many oral traditions and legends.”
Ruid also knows the legend. That’s right, while reading a novel of about 1,000 episodes, I found the story about the first emperor quite boring.
Thousands of divine powers are sleeping, or there is an almighty secret wish that can make any wish come true.
Even when I fell asleep in the Academy Square, I heard many people talking about him.
“Of course, there are many people targeting it. That’s why a rumor was leaked that only the Duke of Windsor knew the location of the first emperor’s tomb. “If you want to know its location, the only way is to come to me in person.”
“ah.”
“After all, there is a saying in the first emperor’s will that says, ‘Let my burden be buried forever in the snowy fields of the north.’ If it was not discovered, what opinion would the greedy nobles of the empire offer? “It is a lie our ancestors told to prevent that.”
Ruid understood perfectly.
But at the same time, this thought occurred to me.
‘I’m curious too?’
Even in the original novel, the tomb of the first emperor does not appear.
The tomb of a mythical being.
Even in my past life, I thought about seeing something like the Tomb of Qin Shi Huang or King Arthur’s Tomb on screen.
The first emperor was a great man who achieved the greatest achievements of this era.
It was natural human psychology to want to see that.
More than anything, this makes a man’s blood boil.
Luid’s eyes sparkled.
Victoria smiled lovingly when she saw that her son was quite interested.
“It looks like you want to see it.”
Ruid nodded his head five times.
“It’s no problem for Louis to see. You are my beloved son and the one and only Prince of the Duke of Windsor. “But not everyone else.”
Victoria stopped walking.
Before I knew it, the background had changed.
This is the 1st and 9th defense lines.
It is a place where gates leading to a total of 9 defense lines are gathered.
In this mysterious space, in addition to the gate, there were crystal spheres placed one by one to let you know the situation.
All eight crystal spheres are colored green, indicating a stable state.
However, there is only one crystal ball of a different color.
4th line of defense. Only there it was orange. It meant ‘a little dangerous.’
Victoria’s expression hardened when she saw that. But it was only for a moment.
Victoria put Lloyd down on the floor. I squatted down to get to eye level.
He looked straight into Ruid’s eyes and said.
“It is a secret that the unidentified ruins may be the tomb of the first emperor. Even externally, I am known to know the location of the first emperor’s tomb.”
“Mama, but isn’t that okay? “You wouldn’t know it by looking at the ruins anyway.”
When Ruid asked with doubt, Victoria’s eyes sank.
“Louis is right. However, he gave one order to the knight of Windsor who ordered him to investigate the ruins. “If anyone other than Young Ji-min discovers the ruins investigation site, kill him.”
Ruid breathed a sigh of relief.
“That’s okay. Because Sister Amelia is leading the way.”
I thought it was a good thing I left Amelia alone.
But Victoria’s expression still remained stiff.
“Louis. “Do you trust Amelia?”
“….”
‘I’m sorry, sister.’
Ruid couldn’t bear to refute Victoria’s words.
“Of course, Amelia is a very, very good girl… Her ability to deal with monsters is not lacking at all as a Knight of Windsor, but she still lacks experience in leading people. Moreover, if it’s students, unexpected behavior is bound to happen.”
Wow –
at that time, the color of the crystal ball changed once more.
Victoria turned her head.
4th line of defense.
The crystal ball there turned red.
“…I would like to go with you if possible. “It looks like something happened.”
Ruid asked one question.
“Do I believe it?”
Victoria smiled softly.
“of course. “Louis is smart.”
…I feel a bit sorry for Amelia for some reason.
Ruid said what he wanted to say.
“Irene, too?”
“…Louis, then you feel so sorry for Amelia.”
‘I wish I knew…!’
That was too much.
anyway.
“Then let’s go together.”
“huh?”
“You trust Irene, right? They’ll take care of it. Sister Irene is strong.”
‘I want to show you that Ame has grown too. I want to show my assistant too.’
Ruid wanted Victoria to go with him.
Firstly, I feel sorry for Amelia because she is in such a cold state.
Second, I am proud of Ella.
‘In times like this, whatever you do, that’s it.’
Fortunately, I knew how to get what I wanted.
Ruid hugged Victoria’s arm.
He said, looking up at the most confident angle.
“I want to stay with Mama more… can’t I?”
“…!”
Victoria held her heart.
I just thought my heart stopped.
No, it may have already stopped.
What a charm!
That blunt kid is cute.
‘I guess I should save today as an anniversary and designate it as an official holiday.’
Victoria made a firm determination.
