Episode 368
Aveiro was able to come up with the most crucial question that needed to be asked in this situation.
“Does the lord really have to fight that ‘something’?”
This question was central, and more.
If there were a being that didn’t need to fight, then there would be no need to talk about all the things I mentioned above.
but.
[According to the memories of the soul that the guy saw, the Western Continent was attacked first. The continent was devastated, and most life forms disappeared. Do you think the guy would have stayed still in that situation?]
“… … That can’t be.”
[Yes, in the world before the guy regressed, ‘they’ were definitely enemies. Then I ask. Can you be sure that the enemy back then is not the enemy now?]
Aveiro shook his head.
Because the odds were higher that it would be the enemy.
Even if you calculate it with a scale, the situation is tilted significantly to one side.
That is, for now, it was reasonable to think of them as ‘enemies’.
[The guy will finish his work on the Western Continent and immediately move to the Eastern Continent.]
This time, lightning struck Aveiro’s head.
ah.
Ah! So.
“So that’s when you told me to build a ship that could cross the Black Sea.”
In Aveiro’s mind, the conversation he had with Jack on the rooftop came to mind.
‘I really didn’t want to tell you this.’
‘What is it?’
‘Elizabeth is preparing a gift for her lord.’
‘Is that gift a pear?’
‘They said it was a giant ship. A ship that could navigate the whirlpools of the Black Sea.’
‘I guess it was a surprise gift or something?’
‘Yes, that’s right.’
‘How long does it take?’
‘They said it would take about eight months.’
It wasn’t just a boat.
All ships currently built on the continent are given a rank.
1st class, 2nd class, 3rd class.
The ship Jack had been sailing on recently was a first-rate ship, the highest class ship.
However, a first-class ship cannot navigate the whirlpools of the Black Sea.
The ship that Elizabeth wanted to give to Jack was a ship that had never been seen before. It was a ship that was stronger and more groundbreaking than a first-class ship, and Aveiro was personally very sorry to hear that the person who built it was forcibly conscripted and died in vain on the border with Tulcan.
If the designer who designed that ship were alive, the ships on the continent today would have undergone many changes.
Aveiro had asked Jack.
‘But what are you going to use that boat for? Can you tell me?’
‘I just wanted to take a boat and go somewhere.’

The words that had seemed like a riddle back then now made perfect sense.
[I asked if it was necessary to fight. In a situation where the scales are tilted toward fighting, that assumption is meaningless. All that is needed is unconditional preparation. And.]
Valentine paused for a moment and continued speaking in a numb tone.
[Are you sure that time will be on ‘our’ side?]
It was a difficult question to answer.
[Let me ask you something else. Every result in the world has a cause. How on earth did Jack regress? Why did he regress? Who led the way? Who made it possible?]
Valentine was speaking now.
Everything that has happened so far and will happen in the future on this Western Continent is just a warm-up.
[Jack has memories from before his regression. He can use those memories to draw on the power from before his regression. If so, is he the only one who can do that? Isn’t it possible that ‘someone’ on the Eastern Continent can do that too? Answer me. Do you think this possibility is unrealistic?]
Aveiro immediately shook his head.
As Valentine said, everything in the world has a cause.
There was a reason why Jack was able to regress.
But what if the cause was external?
Who the hell made Jack regress?
Will Jack win the fight that will take place in the future?
Although it is extremely rare to hear of such cases because there are so few samples available, it is certainly true that we must be prepared.
Valentine said.
[The guy is finished with everything on the continent and plans to go check it out.]
in other words.
“It means that Your Majesty will be away for a long time….”
[okay.]
That was the real reason why Jack didn’t sit on the king’s throne.
Because I don’t know how long it will take.
Because you never know what might happen.
But ironically, the only person on this continent who can stop it is Jack himself.
Jack only sacrificed himself for his people and for the world he was creating.
Those who don’t know point their fingers at him and call him crazy or a swindler, but those who know can’t do that.
Valentine was one of them.
[Even if the kingdom becomes an empire, he may not sit on the throne. Why would he use the word ‘guardian’?]

“… … .”
[The guy intends to protect the continent. So you should know. And you should prepare yourself.]
Aveiro’s two eyes looked into Valentine’s eyes.
Those eyes were very mysterious.
Those eyes that seem to see through everything.
A presence that is difficult to approach.
Indeed, he is the master’s teacher.
If the lord is not ordinary, it makes no sense for the teacher to be ordinary.
She said.
[Because you are a man he trusts.]
It feels like a stab to the heart.
Aveiro had an expression on his face that he had never shown to anyone except when he swore allegiance to Jack.
He nodded with a determined, yet proud expression.
“Please leave it to me.”
Aveiro felt his shoulders get a little heavier.

But I guarantee it.
It would be a drop in the bucket compared to the weight Jack was carrying on his shoulders.
That was clear.

I got up from bed.
Magyar Teslan, who had been making a fuss below, was lying on the ground with his eyes open.
Eyes that have turned completely gray.
What on earth did I see in my dream that made me not even close my eyes before I died?
To be honest, it was pretty noisy just a moment ago.
No! Don’t say that! Jim is king! Get out! Get out! And so on.
Then save me! Please! Don’t do this! I did nothing wrong! Livestock don’t need to be treated well! I’m the king! And so on.
I was shouting like that and then it became quiet, but that was 15 seconds ago.
After staring blankly at Mazar Teslan for a moment, I moved forward.
When I opened the door and went outside, Aveiro and the Master were waiting for me.
“You look pretty good there too?”
Then the teacher chuckled, jumped on the spot, and landed perfectly on my shoulder.
But the atmosphere is strange.
“Have you been gossiping about me?”
[Well, what do you think it would have been like?]
“I think you did.”
The teacher chuckles.
[Would you like to bet?]
I don’t usually take it out, but I have to take this out.
“I won’t do that. I know you’re not the type of person to do that.”
The teacher, who had been looking at me with slightly wide eyes, soon sat on my shoulder with an indifferent expression.
And Aveiro looked at us like that.
Me, to be exact.
And with sparkling eyes too.
Why are you being so burdensome?
“I told one Death Knight to sort it out. Don’t worry about this and just sort out public opinion. And the national title, no, the Kingdom of Milos will be founded on January 1st, and the calendar will be changed. You can take care of everything, right?”
“Yes. Just leave it to me.”
I lightly raised my hand and tapped the guy on the shoulder.
“Now let’s go to Ascension.”
“I guess I’ll get to see that dwarf in person.”
Although it hasn’t started yet, the person in charge of the railroad construction is Hammer Slave, of course.
It’s a waste of talent to keep such a talented person stuck in the forest of demons.
I told Harold to take her to Ascenblum, but now that we’re done here, we should go there.

So we teleported to Ascendblume.

A very strange situation was unfolding at the Ascendant Villa.
“Hmm. Should I say it’s been a while?”
“It’s only been about four years, so it’s not wrong.”
Angela, who had been staying at the villa for a few days, was now sitting across from Harold in the restaurant.
The two were acquainted and it was clear that the period of time was four years.
“It seems like it’s the first time I’ve seen you since you made a deal with the Hell family, but you’ve managed to come back alive.”
Angela nodded as if she knew enough.
Looking at the situation going on here.
“I guess you were the one who gave the information to Beckerman?”
“Actually, it’s not me, it’s him.”
After this conversation, there was another awkward silence.
Hammer, who had been watching the situation from beginning to end, tilts his head.
“I don’t know what the situation is right now, so how about we make a joint statement?”
I already knew Harold’s name.
Hammer was talking to Angela.
Angela shrugged and said.
“My name is Angela Hell.”
“Angela… … Angela hell… … .”
Hammer, who had been mumbling the name for a moment, slowly stood up from his seat.
Angela asked Hammer.
“It’s been a long time since I’ve seen a dwarf, so should I introduce myself? What’s your name…?”
“Truly, what a beautiful name.”
At that moment, Angela stopped talking.
What the heck, this dwarf.
“I am a Hammer Slave. A true dwarf among dwarves who lives by the hammer and dies by the hammer. How, do you know a little about how to make weapons?”
“… … I don’t know?”
“Is there anything you would like to know?”
“It’s not that there aren’t any.”
“Okay then. I’ll let you know.”
Harold, who was watching the situation, burst out laughing.
Look at the change in speech.
What kind of speech is that? It doesn’t even suit you.
Hammer spoke in a voice so rich it was like butter flowing out of it.

“You say you’re a wizard, but I wonder if this is fate. I’ll make the wand amazing. No, instead of this, how about we go somewhere and have a cup of tea and talk?”
“… …Am I being flirty right now?”
There is a saying that beauty is won by the courageous.
Hammer laughed heartily.
“Of course. What man would not fall for such a beautiful flower?”
Just as Angela was about to answer, a wave of mana occurred.
Jack has arrived.
Hammer sighed in regret.

Continental Battlefield Ascendant Branch Office.
There were two people in that place, which was wider than expected.
The two people who looked similar seemed to be father and son, and the atmosphere between them was not good.
The older man, Roland, said,
“I told you before. Jack Valanti, learn from him.”
“Yes, he did. And he told me to learn everything and maintain a close relationship with him.”
Is that all?
“I told you to go under that guy if you wanted to.”
Roland Lynch had tried to hand over the leadership of the Continental Battlefield to Harold.
In fact, there was no one else to receive it except Harold.
The period is 5 years.
Harold, who was still immature, was given a period of five years.
That period was a time when Harold learned about the world.
however.
“Jack Valantier, you want to go ‘completely’ under him?”
“yes.”
