Episode 176 Who stole my bones? (7)
The day a letter arrived from the Kingdom of Canburg.
Fabro quickly began gathering the church’s warriors.
It has only one purpose.
To attend the Calune Synod.
After completing preparations, the large-scale procession of the church began heading towards Calun, the capital of the Kingdom of Canburg.
Two days after that.
Kendrick clicked his tongue as he looked at the armed warriors following him.
“Senior, what is all this? Are we going to war instead of a meeting?”
There were well over 200 armed warriors, so it was not unreasonable for Kendrick to think so.
To this, Fabro responded indifferently.
“Originally, the Great Calun Conference was a meeting that arose in the process of gathering troops to prepare for the war against monsters. “From back then, we used to bring troops and participate in meetings, but now it has degenerated into showing off our power.”
“Is this like a fight between adults?”
“That is correct. “The Great Calunee is an event where all the great nobles loyal to the Canburg royal family gather, so many interests become entangled and conflicts arise.”
“But is there a need for us to do this?”
“Among the nobles, there are those who do not like the church, so we need to discourage them like this.”
“ok? Why do nobles disapprove of the church?”
“Although the territory of the church belongs to the Kingdom of Canburg, its affiliation is independent. “This is because the agreement between King Rokhan II and I guaranteed the church’s complete autonomy.”
“ah! That’s again… “Aren’t you saying you don’t pay taxes?!”
“Whoa! “Your junior, you have quite the sense of humor!”
“I have some expertise in calculating money. “Hehe.”
“Well, taxes are taxes, but another reason is that the power of the religious denomination is too strong. So no matter how much of an alliance we have, there are people who keep us in check.”
“You guys are stupid. What are you going to do if the church turns around?”
“Well, that means a very small number of nobles are like that. The royal family and many great nobles want to continue their relationship with the church. “We couldn’t move our residence to another place anyway, so we had to maintain friendly relations with the Kingdom of Kanburg.”
“You can just move and throw it away, right?”
“… “The problem is that we can’t do that.”
“why?”
“that… “Ask Lois.”
“To the teacher?”
Kendrick’s eyes turned to Lois.
Lois shrugged her shoulders at the gaze pouring upon her.
“What did I do?”
Fabro was moved to tears by the sly expression.
‘Isn’t this why we can’t move because Lois planted a promise tree or something?’
To the church, the Tree of Promise was a gift from God and proof of the existence of the predecessor.
Where would you go if you left such a tree behind?
In the end, it was said that Lois had tied the leash of the church very well.
Of course, I don’t have the courage to say something to Lois out loud… Fabro didn’t have it.
He muttered timidly.
“… no.”
Kendrick and Tania tilted their heads when they saw the crumpled Fabbro and proud Lois.
Facing the questioning looks of his juniors, Fabreau cleared his throat awkwardly and changed the topic.
“Hehehe! Anyway, the Great Conference of Calunee has roughly the same characteristics, but the major events decided there will have a huge impact on the eastern part of the Winter Continent. “Now we are on our way to participate in the Calunee Conference as allies.”
“Than you think… “It was a great event.”
Tania and Kendrick nodded to Fabreau’s words.
For the siblings who lived in the mountains, it was amazing just to go to a place where the political situation between countries was intertwined.
Do you feel like you have achieved success?
Of course, there were some who didn’t find it surprising at all.
“Hey, Fabro.”
In response to Royce’s slightly prickly call, Fabro responded with a flinch.
“Yes, yes?”
“Why is the road so rough?”
“Well, that…” “This is the shortcut.”
“It’s a shortcut, take a nap, when will you arrive?”
“We’ll be there soon!”
“Where on earth is this meeting or something taking place that is causing such a fuss? “This isn’t some kind of exile.”
It’s already been two days since we left the Promised Land, the home of the church.
However, we had not yet arrived at the meeting location.
Fabro responded to Lois’ grumbling with an awkward smile.
“The Great Conference of Calune is held in Calune, the capital of the Kingdom of Canburg. Calune is located at the easternmost tip of the winter continent.”
“The easternmost part? Isn’t that the place closest to the Horse Sea? “What capital city is located in the most dangerous place?”
“The predecessor of the Kingdom of Kanburg was the Grand Dukedom of Kanburg, which served as a barrier to the Sea of Horses. “Rokhan I, the first king of the kingdom, did not move the site in order to carry on the spirit of the Grand Duke’s family, but designated the old Grand Duke’s land as the capital.”
The twins intervened in Fabro’s words.
“Isn’t that stupid?”
“And if the capital suffers damage, won’t the country also falter?”
“That’s not necessarily true either.”
“why?”
“Kkeulkeul, you will know that when you go there. It’ll arrive soon, so just be patient. “It will be more fun to watch it without knowing it than to watch it knowing it in advance.”

The twins saw Favreau giggling darkly and a question mark appeared above their heads.
This was the same for Lois and the Flame siblings.
and… Their doubts were naturally resolved after an hour.
Clatter-clatter-.
Seolma, who was moving forward, slowly stopped.
As the leader slows down, it is natural for the procession to stop.
The shortcut that Fabro led was on a fairly high hill.
Therefore, the scenery ahead unfolded refreshingly, and Royce’s group’s mouths dropped open at the sight.
“and… … .”
“wow… … .”
The city, located on a wide expanse of land, boasted a fairly large size as the capital of a country.
That alone was enough to surprise the Flame Brothers and Sisters, but there was something else that surprised them even more.
‘Something’ that surprised not only the flame siblings, but also Lois and the twins.
“What wall?!”
“That’s all… “A castle wall?!”
It was a huge castle wall that stretched endlessly.
A castle wall refers to something that surrounds a city or castle, but what was in front of you was different.
Farther back than the city, there was a long line of high walls.
Lois’ eyes widened at this.
Because in my past life, there was a building that looked exactly like that.
‘crazy! Is it the Great Wall of China?!’
The endlessly extending wall was truly reminiscent of the Great Wall of China.
Meanwhile, Kendrick, who was lost, muttered in a possessed voice.
“… “What is that?”
“The Great Barrier of Calun. “The people of the winter continent call it the shield of severe cold.”
“That wall… “It was made by human power?”
“We are still building it up with human power. “Hehe.”
I didn’t expect Kendrick’s gaze to leave the Great Barrier of Calhoun.
“Where on earth did this lead?”
“I can’t see the end?”
Fabro smiled and answered the twins’ curious question.
“To the east of the winter continent, the long Baekchi Mountain Range blocks the fierce winds and monsters of the Demon Sea. “People call it the Blessing of the Ice Mountain, but there are areas that don’t have that blessing.”
“… … ?”
“The 500km section where the Baekchi Mountains cut off in the middle is called the Caloon Grand Canyon. All monsters invading the Winter Continent entered through there, and the Grand Duchy of Canburg was a family that protected the Calun Grand Canyon for generations.”
“Then it can’t be… … ?”
“Yes, that’s right. The Great Wall has been under construction for over 200 years across the entire Calhoun Canyon.”
“So you’re saying it’s not completed yet?”
“That’s true, but they said it would be completed this year at the earliest, or next year at the latest. Didn’t I tell you? “The Kingdom of Kanburg is already spending an astronomical amount of money.”
“Is that that?”
“you’re right! When the Kingdom of Canburg first said it would build a wall across the Great Canyon of Calun, people said it was impossible. This is a job that will require not only manpower but also a huge amount of money. “It was not a task for a fledgling small kingdom to handle.”
“But you made it like that, right?”
“Yes. “If that barrier is built, damage from sea winds and monsters will be significantly reduced.”
Fabro looked happily at the wall being completed.
Then Lois asked.
“It’s amazing. But where did the Kingdom of Kanburg get its enormous funds?”
“well… … . There is a lot of talk about the financial power of the Kingdom of Canburg. Some say they have discovered an inexhaustible gold mine, while others say they have found a huge amount of ancient treasure… … .”
“Ohh?”
“The facts are not clear as to which is correct, but one thing is certain: the Kingdom of Canburg is pouring a huge amount of money into doing something beneficial to the Winter Continent.”
Royce looked at the capital of Canburg and the Great Wall of Calun with interest.
Then he tilted his head, feeling a strange sense of déjà vu.
‘wait… … ?’
A feeling of déjà vu that I don’t know where.
‘Where is this terrain?’
No, it was familiarity.
It feels like I’m seeing this for the first time, but it feels familiar.
At that moment, a tall mountain came into Lois’s field of vision.
A tall mountain that seems to pierce the sky.
Lois had seen something like that in the past.
“Earth’s right fang… … ?”
Along with that, the scenery around Calun began to look new.
To be precise, a certain terrain from the past is projected into the present.
‘no way?!’
Lois asked Favreau as if confirming.
“Fabro.”
“yes?”
“What kind of grand duchy did you say the predecessor of the Kingdom of Kanburg was?”
“I did.”
“Then when did it become a kingdom?”
“It’s King Rokan I. In the past, it was an archduchy, but it is said that the birth rate of the archduchy increased sharply the year Rokhan I was born. Since then, it has grown in size and is said to have become independent from the kingdom it belonged to at the time.”
“Haha!”
Lois couldn’t help but laugh.
He looked at the scene unfolding in the distance with cheerful eyes.
“why?”
“What’s fun happening?”
As the twins approached, Lois called out to them.
“Khan, Kani, Finn.”
“huh?”
“why?”
“Why are you doing this?”
“I guess it’s over here.”
“where?”
“ah!”
Khan had doubts about Lois’ story, but Carney seemed to have noticed.
Carney asked in an excited tone.
“Is it really here? “Where was that nice wife?”
“that’s right.”
Only then did Khan realize it and started pretending to know.
“ah! I remembered too! “The woman who was depressed after losing her child!”
The twins giggled at the memories of the past.
That’s because this is the land where I was first provided with a comfortable home after starting my journey in the past.
“wow… “That place has changed so much.”
“that’s interesting.”
Lois and twin Finn, who realized the truth about the Kingdom of Kanburg, looked amazed.
“Why are you doing that?”
Finn smiled and answered Fabro’s question.
“Ah, Lois and Twins gave birth to a child for the Archduke and his wife who lost a child a long time ago.”
“… “You made a child?”
When Fabrogi met Lois, who had come from the Archduchy, there was no way to know what Lois had done before.
“Hehe. “There is such a thing.”
The Flame siblings whispered among themselves as they looked at Finn giggling.
“how… “Teacher, how old are you?”
“I guess I’ll be hundreds of years old at least?”
“Do you still want to marry a teacher? The age difference between you and me… “I think it’s huge, right?”
“What’s wrong with the age difference? “What does age have to do with love?”
“that is… “Why doesn’t it matter?”
“doesn’t exist. “For the love between me and Lois!”
“… Anyway, isn’t that a bit much?”
“What makes Lois look like he’s hundreds of years older than me? He looks younger than you, teacher? “Before pointing out my age, do you pay attention to your own face?”
“Yes, but… Does it make you feel bad to hear it? You wanna die? “This is for you!”
“Do you want to die? “Who was it that always got beat up by me?”
“Well, as an older brother, I lost to my younger sister!”
“Then are we going to have a good fight?”
“Doing that here is a bit… … .”
While Kendrick was the first to curl his tail and retreat, Favreau took the reins of the snow horse again.
“Let’s go now. “I have a meeting this evening, so I need to undress and get ready.”
Fabro began to lead the stopped procession again.
About 30 minutes later.
As we came down the hill and approached Calun, the capital of the Kingdom of Kanburg, a large crowd of people appeared around the area.
Kendrick asked curiously, looking around.
“What are these soldiers doing instead of going inside?”
As Kendrick said, numerous soldiers were camped around the city walls.
“The only troops that can reside within the capital are the capital defense force and the royal family’s warriors. “No matter how many troops belong to the kingdom, they cannot enter the city walls.”
“Then even the warriors of the church can’t enter?”
“Of course it is.”
While Favreau and Kendrick were talking, the church’s procession passed through the troops stationed outside the castle walls.
Accordingly, the attention of those around them fell on the church.
“It’s a cult!”
“You are a bunch of warmongers.”
The excitement of those who recognized the church’s flag.
Fabro and other warriors seemed familiar with such a situation and immediately took the next action.
“Settle down and build a camp.”
“All right.”
The person who received Fabro’s orders soon led the warriors and settled down in the clearing.
And they very skillfully set up barracks and built a camp.
Soon, a large barrack was quickly built first, and Lois and the others entered it.
Lois asked with doubt.
“Why are you coming here? “Aren’t you going to go into the castle?”
“The Great Council of Calunee is not held within the castle.”
“These bastards… “You treat guests like this sometimes?”
“that… The beginning of the Great Calune Conference came from the Calune Grand Canyon Field Meeting… “To follow tradition, we held it outdoors every time.”
“What kind of bullshit tradition is that?”
“Honestly, there are a lot of inconveniences, but the King of Canburg also lives in the same barracks, so no one can say anything, right?”
“Anyway… … .”
Lois looked around the barracks with a displeased look on her face.
“So you’re saying we have to stay here because of that bullshit tradition? how much?”
“The period varies depending on the meeting agenda, but even if I can’t do it… “You will have to stay for more than a week.”
Lois frowned at those words.
“In this booger-sized barracks?”
“Even if it’s uncomfortable, just be patient… … .”
“Hey.”
Although it was a large barracks, there were more things missing than there were.
Fabro glanced at Lois, who seemed displeased, and quickly stood up.
“Okay, then take a break. “If there is anything special, I will come back to let you know.”
“Where are you going?”
At Royce’s call, Fabro froze awkwardly in the same position he had stood up in.
He answered quietly, avoiding Lois’ gaze.
“Oh that… I’m a little busy because I have things to look into… … .”
“hmm… … .”
Lois’s eyes suddenly turned gloomy.
Fabro spoke quickly, feeling cold sweat running down his back.
“Well, since the barracks are small, I thought it would be more convenient for me, as a big person, to stay somewhere else.”
Fabro’s eyes rolled around.
I could immediately read his inner thoughts on his face: ‘I don’t want to sleep here!’
‘Rather than sharing a room with Lois and worrying about what others think, I would rather sleep outside with my eyes closed!’
Lois, who read Fabro’s inner thoughts, which he could not hide, waved his hand.
“Like that.”
“yes! Shhh, shush… … .”
As soon as the consent was given, Fabro, who was angry, quickly said hello and was about to leave the barracks.
“Let me take a look first.”
Lois waved her index finger lightly.
Then, black energy flowed from his fingertips and swirled around the inside of the barracks.
“Huh?!”
The moment Fabbro felt the space tremble, a surprising change occurred.
That is-.
The interior of the barracks, which had clearly felt narrow, had expanded to 10 pyeong.
Lois’ voice followed immediately.
“Finn, get ready.”
“yes!”
After receiving Lois’ command, Finn began pulling out various objects from subspace.
Bed, desk, stove, lamp, etc.
The items prepared for this trip began to be placed throughout the barracks.
Along with that, the barracks, which had been very dreary, transformed into a cozy home.
The twins, who were used to such things, quickly took the bed out of the subspace pocket and set it aside.
“My seat next to Roy!”
“Then I’m here!”
The flame siblings were watching this with envy.
Lois said this.
“Finn, take care of the kids too.”
“yes!”
As soon as Lois finished speaking, Finn pulled out two more beds.
There were as many as five beds and furniture, but the space was still spacious.
You could even exaggerate it and play ball.
Fabro stares blankly at a bedroom worthy of a nobleman’s mansion that was created in an instant.
Lois’ voice reached him.
“What are you doing?”
“… … .”
“Go out. “I heard you’re busy because you have to find out a lot of things?”
“ah… yes. Yes, it was.”
Fabro left the barracks with tears in his eyes as Lois made a fuss.
Leaving Fabro’s drooping shoulders behind, Lois and the children spent their time rolling around in the barracks.
How much time has passed like that?
Sreuk-.
The barracks curtain opened and Fabro entered.
“Lois, they say the meeting is starting soon.”
“okay?”
“But… I think the only people attending the meeting will be me and Lois. “I don’t think other people will be able to get in.”
“why?”
“The number of people attending the meeting was limited to one speaker and one attendant… … .”
“Then there is nothing we can do.”
“And… … .”
“Why again?”
“Well, the person speaking is me and the attendant is Lois… … .”
“Oh, what else can I say? Of course it is. Wouldn’t you have continued to attend meetings as a representative of the church anyway? I’m not that flexible. I understand.”
“Okay, thank you.”
“And I said it.”
“yes?”
“My concept is Himsumjjin.”
“… … .”
Fabro’s eyes hardened.
He prayed earnestly as he watched Lois flirting.
‘please… Please do it this time.’
I hope Lois stays still during this meeting.
Since there is no power to stop him, all Fabro can do is pray.
“Come on, let’s go! “Come quickly!”
Looking at Royce running ahead with excitement.
“yes… “I’m going.”
Fabro followed Lois like a cow being led to the slaughterhouse.
