Episode 387
The sight of the two with their backs to the moonlight was indescribably beautiful.
No one could disagree on that point.
Blackman is leaning against a tree stump, panting for breath, with Villea next to him.
It was so beautiful that even the other orcs and harpies who were treating the two stopped treating them and just stared blankly.
Valentine raised his hand.
Then he touches Jack’s forehead.
[Don’t carry it alone.]
The disciple is doing something while tired.
A teacher who just silently watches is not a teacher.
A black aura began to emanate from Valentine’s hand.
Soon the energy faded to white and was instantly absorbed into Jack’s body.
Jack felt his bones touch.
My body feels more energized and my headaches are starting to go away.
At the same time, sweat beaded on Valentine’s forehead.
She said.
[Let’s carry it together.]
“Master… … .”
Valentine gave his congenital heart to Jack.
Even though he didn’t have much time left, he handed it over to Jack.
[What are you looking at so worriedly?]
Valentine’s smile sparkles in the moonlight.
[You guys will extend my lifespan.]
That slightly playful look.
Valentine himself might have been unfamiliar, but not to Jack.
Jack’s reaction now.
That reaction and the strange sense of disconnect.
There was no way Valentine wouldn’t notice.
[Now that I think about it, I guess I did something similar in my past life.]
Jack didn’t answer. It wasn’t like they were handing out innate wisdom like they did now, but it was similar.
In her previous life, Valentine had ignored the restriction of ‘returning to her original form on the day of the full moon’ several times when she was with Jack.
It was definitely similar to what he did now, when he cut off his own innate energy and returned to his original form and was with Jack in human form.
[Somehow, I wondered why my lifespan, which was easily 30 years, was shortened so much. Now I understand a little.]
Valentine laughed.
Jack felt his heart soften as he looked at that smile.
That laugh.
Because that was the smile that Valentine had shown me in my previous life when we spent about 10 years together in the cave.
The true face of Valentine’s Day.
Not as the ‘Necromancer Valentine Milos’ who was conscious of the world and confined himself to a frame, but as Valentine Milos, a human and a woman.
That was what it looked like.
Jack laughed.

Just seeing that look on Valentine’s face, he smiled like that, as if he was satisfied with that alone.
Chapter 3
08:00, December 16, Year 412 of the Teslan Empire Calendar.
Aveiro let out a sigh.
The long meeting is over.
Jack explained to the nobles everything about the world he was trying to create, the new system, without leaving anything out. All the nobles were surprised.
I was surprised, but what can I do?
Aveiro just ignored it.
Jack wants to create a nation different from the nations that existed before.
So it was natural that a change in the system would follow.
It would have been stranger if those who enjoyed power under the old system had not objected to the fact that their power would be limited in the future.
A nobleman asked this question:
‘If there is no king in the human world, and there is a king in the foreign world, isn’t that a problem?’
You could think of it that way.
It was a topic that had to be discussed in some way from the perspective of the nobles who held power.
All current kings will be demoted to grand dukes, and the forest of demons where the alien races live will become a special autonomous region, and the leaders of the alien races there will be grand dukes, and the king who leads those grand dukes.
This may seem like a minor change, but in some ways it was a huge change. It was shrinking the human world.
Crucially, the essence of this system is to reduce the power of the nobles. In every state, nobles and kings have always checked each other, but never in this way has the power of the nobles been crushed.
It is clearly a system that has never appeared on this continent.
But Aveiro was confident.
If this system is properly established, a millennial empire will be born.
And there will be more people smiling than ever before.
Neither Jack nor Aveiro were crazy, so they could make rational enough choices.
And so on.
There was a lot of talk in the conference room.
But the main thing we talked about was Aveiro.

‘Last night, my lord united the forest of demons.’
The nobles opened their mouths in shock, but I ignored them.
‘The Kingdom of Milos is unlike any nation that has ever existed. Elves, orcs, humans, harpies, trolls, and… dragons. All these races united as one, an unprecedented nation.’
Why has the name Tesla survived for so long?
It’s simple.
Because there is a myth that he killed all the dragons.
But the existence of dragons was revealed not long ago.
Not just one, but seven.
Including the cells, there are 8, no, 8 people.

This was clear evidence that Julius Teslan had committed fraud.
Unlike Julius Teslan, Jack brought all races to their knees by force and united the entire continent.
How long will a nation created by a man who has subjugated all other races and become the ruler of the continent last?
It seemed like an obsession, but Aveiro really wanted it.
The title of the Millennium Empire.
It was proof that Jack had not failed, and it was a badge of honor that Aveiro and those around him who followed Jack had not done anything useless.
That’s what Aveiro really wanted.
Aveiro spoke to all the nobles.
‘The Tulcan Empire will soon be wiped out. That is a truth without variables. It is inevitable. Don’t you understand?’
‘Now, a new nation that never existed in history has been born. A nation that has unified the entire continent. The man who led that unification. The world that man is trying to create.’
‘If the people realize the true intention of their lord to rule the world, if everyone knows their lord’s will, then when preparations are complete······.’
That’s an expectation for the future.
And his endless loyalty to Jack.
His dream, his revolution, his will to make his dream a success unconditionally.
Aveiro spoke with all his heart.
‘A new history of humanity will be written.’
So let’s cheer up together.
Let’s do it together.
Let’s not be stupid like those bastards who followed Julius Teslan.
Let’s make our mark on history, unlike those guys.
Let’s leave our mark on the world.
‘You have already adapted to change once. I hope you will not let go of the opportunity the Lord has given you and adapt this time as well.’
In this way, the nobles were convinced by Aveiro and gave up their greed.
That was enough.
Aveiro, who had his eyes closed, slowly opened them.
Okay, let me say it again, the meeting is over.
It was a really long meeting.
As the conversation went on, Marquis Leopold, whose face had turned red due to the railroad issue, bowed his head and apologized.
That nobleman was certainly not a bad person.
He was just a man who didn’t know how to be greedy.
If they were truly greedy nobles, they would have kept quiet and stabbed him in the back.
Marquis Leopold was not that kind of man, at least.
There are things he has done, and also personal things about him that I found out while researching.
Aveiro judged.
Marquis Leopold is a nice guy.

So Aveiro was reconciled with the Marquis.
All the nobles had left, and Aveiro, left alone in the conference room, was holding his breath with one hand over his eyes.
Phew.
It was so frustrating.
I didn’t look in the mirror, but my eyes were bloodshot and the hand I was holding was more swollen than usual.
Is that all?
Ironically, I lost weight overall.
I used to not wear belts or anything like that, but now I have to.
Aveiro was desperate. It was a world where you had to work that hard to achieve something.
Then, feeling a presence, I removed my hand and raised my head.
A tall, well-built old man stood before me.
Oh, he hasn’t left yet.
“What are you thinking so deeply about?”
General Rommel, who was holding a cup of tea in each hand, put the tea down on the desk in front of Aveiro and sat down across from him.
Seeing that she seemed to have something to say, Aveiro lightly pressed her temple and took a sip of tea.
It’s delicious.
He raised his head and looked at Rommel.
I guess there was a conversation we didn’t get to have.
“I know you’re tired, but would you mind taking a minute?”
“Yes, it’s okay. Go ahead.”
“I want to talk about something a little more serious. No matter how much I think about it, it seems like nothing will change.”
“Nothing changes… …?”
“You are talking about the unification of the nation. And the unification of all races, or rather, integration. Well, do you want a true sense of fantasia?”
Aveiro looked at Rommel in silence.
“Let me give you a small example. If you don’t have power, you will be eliminated. That’s why the slave class came into being in the past. And now slavery has been abolished on this continent. But do you know that?”
“What?”
“There has been slavery on this continent longer than there has been no slavery. Jack, even if that boy abolished slavery, what would that mean? There are countless people who don’t know they are slaves.”
Aveiro drank his tea quietly.
Of course, we have long since realized what Rommel was trying to say.
I’m asking if the contents are the same, just the packaging has changed.
Oh, really.
“I think the president dreams of a world where everyone is equal.”
“… … .”
“It may be possible to deceive the eye, but in reality, such a world is absolutely impossible. You know enough to know. The only future for such a world is destruction. It is a meaningless world.”
“I don’t think it’s possible either. I think it’s impossible. But that doesn’t change the fact that the system you’re talking about is nothing more than an illusion. It’s a kind of fraud that forces slaves to pretend that they don’t know they’re slaves.”

Aveiro, who had been sipping tea in silence, quietly puts the tea down.
Fraud.
It’s a very jarring statement to just pass by, but Aveiro likes to approach it from various perspectives.
Maybe you could say it’s respect, he said slowly.
“It might seem that way at first.”
“… … .”
“It’s about sharing power. It’s about changing the system. Did you think it would be that easy to change a system that has been in place for hundreds of years?”
Rommel also drank tea.
Aveiro said to him, who was not just drinking, but gulping it down in one gulp as if it was stuffy.
“Still, something has definitely changed.”
“What is that?”
“Hope.”
“……hope?”
