Episode 398
“… … .”
“A big rebellion won’t happen. It will never happen. Even if there are at least ten people like Antonio Senna, it won’t happen. If it does, everyone will be defeated. So, if you think of yourself as the seed of a rebellion, you are very wrong.”
“… … .”
“And even in the current world, which is called the human world, there are no more than seven Red Masters.” Let’s count them one by one.
There are five humans: Iskandar, Beckerman, Tem-Samit, Angela, and Antonio.
I killed one Red Master on the island of the Taoist Temple, and if you include Duke Hell, who may or may not be alive by now, there are seven in total.
Plus, if you include the alien races, there are now 8 of them since Blackman has become the Red Master.
If those eight men really had murderous intent and came at me, I guarantee you that within five minutes, every single one of them would have crossed the Jordan River.
Even if it doubles or triples, it doesn’t change.
Even if I die, the legacy I leave behind for the future will stand in my stead.
You don’t have to go far, the dragons that Cell has are enough.
and.
“I’m not that bad of a guy. How dare you kill me? It’s really disappointing to hear that.”
My uncle averted his eyes.
As if he had no face.
“Even though we weren’t close, did you think I looked like someone who would do something like that? My uncle didn’t hit me in the back of the head, so why would I kill him? Ugh.”
He tapped the table with his hand.
“It was quite interesting to hear. It certainly seems like we have similar blood. So I feel more trustworthy and like I can do a good job. But there is one misconception.”
“Mistake?”
“You know I try not to touch children if possible, right?”
“I know.”
“It was like that in the past life, and it will be like that in this life. But it is not absolute. Among the bloodline of Tulkan. It does not exist at this time, but in twenty years, a ten-year-old boy will appear. The son of the Prince of O.”
The hand that had been lightly tapping the table now hits the table hard.
thud.
“I have completely dried up the seeds of Tulkan. I don’t do things like memory deletion. It would leave a lasting impression. But my maternal uncle’s case is a little different.”
I reached out and gently covered my uncle’s arm.
“It’s something else, right?”
“… … Of course.”
Of course it should be different, and it should be different in the future.
“Do you understand what I’m saying now, what you’re saying with your own mouth, how you should educate your children in the future, and how you should explain to your two cousins, who my older sister loves so much, so that they don’t have other thoughts in the future?”
“……okay.”
He smiled brightly.
“Okay then. You’ll take care of the Archduke’s position, right?”
Since it was a question with a set answer, my uncle eventually nodded.

then.
“Thank you. Let’s do better in the future.”
The conduit is clearly gone.
But it will exist under a different name.
Only the best of the best will remain and take charge of one axis of the country I want to create.
and.
Let me emphasize this one more time.
“Please educate your cousins well. I don’t want the worst to happen, and neither would your uncle, so please.”
My uncle nodded again this time.
Because you clearly felt that what I said was not a joke but sincere.
Because you clearly noticed that this was a real grace period.
* * *
Of course, that wasn’t the end of the story.
First, two cousins opened the door and came in for a moment. They gave me a light hug, smiled softly, and even said some nice things to me.
It was like that for about 5 minutes.
As soon as we sent the two kids out, my uncle and I, who had been laughing softly, quickly returned to our calm expressions.
“And, just in case, you don’t plan on living here your whole life, do you?”
“… … What do you mean?”
“It was such a trivial thing that I didn’t bother to mention it, but it looks like you’re quite satisfied with this house.”
My uncle certainly seemed quite fond of this house, this castle that Count Mantis had used.
Certainly, unlike the guesthouses and other places he stayed on the island, this was a castle that Count Mantis, who was running low on money, had invested all his money into.
There’s no way I wouldn’t like it.
anyway.
“From now on, the term Mantis County will disappear. It will simply be a city called Mantis, and it will be solidified as such, and my sister will rule it. Along with the Valanti territory.”
“hmm…….”
“Let’s hand this over to someone else. And my uncle is the one who will become the Grand Duke in the future. He can’t be satisfied with a place like this.”
My uncle scratches his head. He looks like he’s really annoyed.
“I have prepared a separate place for my uncle to reside. A bigger and more magnificent place than this one.”
My uncle asked with a curious tone.
“Where is it? Over there.”
“It used to be the Teslan royal palace.”
My uncle’s expression changed strangely.

What the hell is this, that’s the look on his face.
The king was already decided, but he was told to stay in the palace? This had a completely different meaning.
I wonder if my uncle ever had this thought for a moment. Maybe he was trying to make me king.

Then he noticed.
That’s not it, but it has another meaning.
“You said the foundation ceremony was on January 1st. Then where is the capital?”
I ended up laughing.
This was definitely important too.
Where will the capital be?
“Isn’t it obvious?”
The place where I first saw my teacher, the place where we first met and developed a connection.
Rock Mountain.
Although it is still called Rock Mountain today, the correct name for the mountain 400 years ago was Diablo.
Mount Diablo.
The place where my master was born. And the place where I first met my master.
In the past, the Master had torn away, destroyed, and torn apart the lava and the entire terrain of that mountain, so now there is nothing but a wasteland and mountains, but that place.
In the future, it will become the capital of a country called Milos.
Why there of all places?
One reason is that it is the place where the teacher was born, but the real reason is that the location is so good.
If you look at the continental map, it’s almost at the center of the continent.
It was slightly off to the side, right in the middle.
Of course, it’s not moving right away.
We will reclaim the wasteland and build new buildings.
After it’s completed, you have to move it.
When I told him that, he asked me with a very absurd expression.
“… … I’ve heard many things while I was here. As far as I know, I’ve never heard that the place called Rock Mountain was being reclaimed… … Were you secretly preparing it?”
He shook his head.
“Let’s not put too much meaning into the national foundation ceremony held on January 1st.”
In fact, moving the capital was something I had decided on from the time I first thought about creating a country.
The capital of the country called Teslan. The city of Teslan.
You leave there and let your master use it? That’s ridiculous.
One way or another, the capital must be moved elsewhere.
There were exactly two candidates.
The Ascendible Estate where the Academy is located and Mount Diablo where the Master was born, in other words, just a rocky mountain.
But the academy will grow bigger and if it becomes the capital, will the children be able to study properly?
I am skeptical.
So, Ascendible Territory was eliminated from the list of candidates.
Then all that’s left is a rocky mountain that needs to be cleared.

Make it flat, put up buildings, and make a nice lake.
Of course, we’re saying this, but we haven’t even started yet.
“We also need to develop the city, and if we start with the layout and work to connect the railroads across the continent, it will take quite a while.”
My uncle laughs, “Hehehe.”
“So many things have changed since the founding of the nation. It’s so drastic that there are no exceptions.”
He shrugged.
This is the biggest change and the core one.
“Providing a foundation for the common people to have institutional power. Yes, that alone makes your ‘experiment’ very meaningful. Even if the beginning is small, the end could be grand. Honestly, I thought you were a lunatic who only cares about fighting.”
I had nothing to say, so I just laughed.
That’s probably how I look to my uncle and other people.
I understand completely.
I sympathize with you.
“No. You weren’t that kind of lunatic. You want to introduce the world to those who are excluded from the flow of the world? It’s really groundbreaking even when I think about it again. It’s also amazing.”
My uncle was definitely telling the truth now.
Sincerity that comes from the depths of the heart.
It is not at all awkward to say that this is a situation that is certainly unprecedented.
How is it possible to first create a country and then move the capital?
The surrounding forces of restraint must not be blind.
In normal cases, everything is taken care of quickly before founding a country.
Starting with deciding on a capital city, establishing a system, and even, as the common saying goes, rewarding merits and distributing them, is no different from postponing and announcing something that has already been decided.
I was moving in the exact opposite order.
First, establish the country, and then handle the affairs.
Although some things were dealt with before the founding of the nation, the order was clearly different from common sense.
If you force yourself to adapt to the world, and as you do, you will notice that the world that unfolds before you is very different from before, and you will realize that a path to success has opened up for you.
It may seem like I’m putting gold on my face, but it’s possible because I’m the country.
“So we need some manpower.”
This time, as if he had noticed, my uncle burst into laughter.
Now that I’ve told you everything straight to the point, you seem to feel a lot more at ease.
It looks good.
“Manpower… … Even if mercenaries and dwarves roll up their sleeves and come forward, you still need manpower? You’re planning on relocating the residents of the conduit.”
See, I told you you’re quick-witted.
Like me.
“As I said before, I’m not that bad of a person. Of course, I’m not forcing you. Just tell your uncle.”
Even though he said that, the result was obvious.
“If your words are true, at least 90% of the Dojo will follow you. The remaining 10% will follow you as well, it’s only a matter of time. I believe there are about 4,000 people left in the Cradle Kingdom, so they’ll probably come down here again soon.”

He shrugged.
“And while we’re on the subject, I’ll just tell you everything. That place will probably be a city where many different races live together.”
“… … A different race?”
“Orcs will migrate, elves will come, and dwarves will come.”
of course.
“The dragon will come too.”
“… … .”
“Personally, I feel a little sorry. I tried to make the Academy the center of the world, but I ended up doing too much and it ended up like this.”
My maternal uncle asked me that.
“Are you trying to unify the continent?”
