< Episode 242. 4th playable character and original magic >
“The total number of participants this year was 123.”
Hector said, checking the paper in his hand.
The emperor, who was listening to the report, put a grape in his mouth and gestured.
“That’s a lot.”
“Because there are many students who participated in the war, the number of graduates this year is particularly high.”
The emperor’s face crumpled at the word war.
The war with the North, which gave away a lot of rewards without any benefit, was not a good memory for him.
“When I think of war, I think of arrogant guys sitting together in a huddle.”
“I am watching the seasoning carefully. However, whenever His Majesty gives the order, we will set out immediately.”
“Jim is not a foolish emperor. I know that no matter how much my empire is, it cannot destroy the union of the five kingdoms in one fell swoop. but······.”
A smile appeared on the emperor’s face as he put another grape in his mouth.
“Soon you will get the fruit.”
“I’m looking forward to it.”
“More than that, there will be Adrias Cromwell on the list of graduates this year, right?”
“That’s right.”
The emperor, who was lost in thought while tapping the table for a moment, slowly opened his mouth.
“According to the report I heard the day before, I heard that you finally visited the territory for the first time…”
“That’s right.”
“It was later than Jim expected. “I wondered if original sin was there, but it seems my initial prediction was correct.”
“The words…”
“There is a high probability that he had it in the first place. “The key is where you keep it.”
“Shall we implement the plan right away?”
The emperor smiled leisurely and waved his hand.
“This guy is already in the palm of your hand. “If you go up a little higher, your weaknesses will increase, so leave it alone for now.”
“All right.”
“Anyway, it’s amazing. I never thought that stupid guy would grow this far. “The power of original sin is truly amazing.”
As long as he lived at the imperial academy, he could not avoid the emperor’s eyes.
You can’t touch it because there are a lot of eyes watching, but it’s a good location to check your every move.
Moreover, his growth was easier to understand because it was proven by his academy grades.
“That’s not the only reason Jim gave Cromwell back to him. The more people have to protect, the stronger they become, but they can also become weaker. “This guy is clearly the latter.”
“Plus, it shares a border with the Southwestern Kingdom Alliance.”
“I’m looking forward to the moment when preparations are complete. “Before that, let’s get some work done first.”
The emperor turned his head and looked somewhere.
In the direction he looked, there was someone’s villa.
“Call Michaela.”
**
It’s been a week since all of the Shadow Fang babies were brought to the lord’s castle.
During that time, they had eaten dozens of livestock.
“If I hadn’t run the upper level, I wouldn’t have been able to handle it.”
Amy grumbled and looked at the pups who still couldn’t open their eyes.
It was funny that things that couldn’t even open their eyes yet were eating meat, but it wasn’t something to laugh about because it was actually happening.
“You’ll get your money’s worth.”
“I guess so. “The famous horse alone costs tens of billions of won, but if it is a spirit object that can be ridden later, you can’t buy it with money.”
“I’m sending one to Morhaime.”
Amy’s frown frowned at my words.
I already said last time that I would send one as a gift, but the response wasn’t good even then.
“Would you rather sell it for money?”
“Rather, giving it as a gift can put a burden on your heart. “It will come back to you in return bigger than money later.”
“Ha, no matter what, it’s still a spirit thing. Besides, it feels like such a loss to give away a precious animal that cannot be tamed if the timing is not right for free.”
As I was talking with Amy, Vivian, who had been petting the pups for a while, turned her head and looked at me.
“Who is he?”
“We have been able to contact you. “Maybe he’ll come today.”
The fourth playable character and the only playable summoner.
She was able to quickly figure out the location through Cromwell Merchant Marine and Evan’s intelligence.
This was possible because she happened to be inside the empire, and when I contacted her and confirmed my offer, she immediately responded that she would come here.
‘I’m glad that your personality is the same as I knew.’
Although the player can play without blood or tears, her personality was basically docile.
Perhaps because she worked with spirits and spirits, her personality was particularly nice compared to other characters, but because of this, she was often deceived by others or died whenever the player wasn’t playing.
“Your Excellency, a guest has arrived.”
I nodded when I heard that a guest had arrived, saying that even tigers would come if I told them to.
“Please guide me this way.”
“All right.”
Soon, the woman brought by the servant greeted me with an innocent face.
“Nice to meet you, Your Excellency. “My name is Dmitry Hayen.”
“This is Adrias Cromwell. “This is his sister, Amy Cromwell, and this is Vivian Bellocan, his knight-errant.”
Vivian’s face flushed slightly when she was introduced as an escort knight.
I haven’t signed a knight’s pledge yet, but that’s because I don’t really have anything to say, so I’ll have to sign my pledge as soon as the Tower schedule is over.

The fourth playable named Dmitry, who is not suitable for a woman, had his eyes focused on the pups in the back even when I was introduced.
She just looked at him, holding her hands together with an expression that did not know what to do.
“Would you like to check it yourself?”
“yes yes? yes!”
Looking at the woman who looked more innocent in person, I approached the cubs.
“I heard that you have a history of raising several spirit creatures.”
“yes that’s right. But I have never raised a shadow fang. And although I have seen adults and sub-adults, this is the first time I have seen a baby with no eyes like this.”
Have you ever seen the adult and sub-adult form of a shadow wolf?
I was a little relieved to see that her characteristics were clearly being used.
“As I told you, our family has called you to hire a trainer to raise these animals. Is it possible?”
Having said this, I was sure she wouldn’t refuse.
By the time there are Shadowfang hatchlings, the game is already over.
But contrary to my expectations, she did not answer right away.
She looked at the babies for a moment, gave me permission, touched them here and there, stayed like that for a while, and then slowly nodded.
“If you hire me, I will raise these children. However, this is my first time raising a Shadow Fang, so there may be many difficulties.”
“You can always talk to my brother here and he will accommodate you.”
“Even if something goes wrong along the way…”
“I will not take responsibility.
At my firm answer, Dmitry seemed relieved and nodded, taking a long breath.
“I hope to go along well.”
“If it’s about salary or budget needs, please talk to my brother. “My younger brother also runs a merchant shop, so if you tell us what you need, he will get it for you right away.”
Shadow Fang was also Shadow Fang, but I felt good because I felt like I had easily obtained another playable character.
Thanks to this, I smiled often, and Vivian, who was next to me, quietly stood next to me, blocking my view.
He then looked at my face intently, and the atmosphere suddenly became awkward, so he ended the conversation.
“Please take care of me in the future.”
“Yes, Your Excellency.”
Soon, Amy took Dmitri to the office.
Meanwhile, I asked Vivian, who was still looking at my face.
“Is there something on my face?”
“Because I like seeing you smile.”
“Is that so?”
“Because Adrias doesn’t laugh often.”
Did you?
He doesn’t really try to show his emotions, but I don’t think he’s ever hidden his emotions, even from Vivian.
“Did you like that woman by any chance?”
“yes?”
“I don’t smile often, but I did.”
I felt an inexplicable chill and chose my answer carefully.
Should I call it intuition or instinct?
I had a feeling that I couldn’t give a wrong answer here.
“Very few people have the ability to breed spirit creatures. “I was lucky enough to find a zookeeper, so I was happy.”
“huh.”
“······And one of the cubs that was raised belongs to Vivian. “I couldn’t be happier.”
“Is one mine?”
“of course.”
I was planning on giving it anyway, but I was glad I was able to change the topic.
She immediately turned her attention to the cubs and began to choose which one would be hers.
“Can I choose?”
“yes. “I guess that would be better.”
I think I’ve already chosen it, but why bother asking?
Among the cubs, she chose one that looked particularly dull and gloomy.
“I’ll take this one.”
“Please give me a name.”
“Adrias II.”
“······.”
I couldn’t understand her intention in naming her after me.
**
Dmitry didn’t seem to be asking much about his salary.
In the first place, he seemed happy just to be able to raise Shadow Fang babies.
Thanks to this, Amy’s liking for her also increased significantly.
“If we raise these children until they become adults, I think they will be able to reproduce.”
Since he was a newly recruited talent, it was something he suddenly said while having dinner together.
“breeding?”
“yes.”
“A spiritual object?”
“yes.”
Of course, if you play Dmitry in the game, you will breed various spirits.
Rather, in that way, only outstanding individuals were selected and taken with them.
But that’s definitely something that happens in the game.
I thought it was a systematic permission.
“Of course it’s not inbreeding, so don’t worry. “I happen to know someone who raises a male Shadow Fang, so I think I can mate with him.”
They said there were 4 females and 2 males.
If reproduction were possible as she said, it could be truly amazing.
‘I wonder if we can create the Shadow Fang Knights.’
Just thinking about it sends shivers down my spine.
The combat power of the Shadow Fang itself was also fearsome, so if it was active in a place such as war, it could be an invincible tank unless the enemy had an Auror Master or Warlock.
“If that’s possible, it’s well worth the price.”
“no. “I don’t do it for money, it’s just my destiny.”
He was still talking so innocently that I felt like I knew why he would die like a sunfish if the player didn’t control it.
I will treat you properly in this life.
“How long will it take to become an adult?”
“Because they are not ordinary creatures, they grow quickly. As far as I know, it will open its eyes in one month, and from that point on, it will grow explosively and become an adult in one year.”
Although I already knew this, I deliberately asked.
Amy and Vivian who are sitting with us should also know.
And before we knew it, Salem had arrived.
“When did you come?”
While I was listening to Dmitry’s story, I asked Salem, who appeared without any sign.
Those who were with him were also surprised to see Salem there.
It is especially impressive that Vivian is on guard with her eyes wide open.
“They brought some very unusual things.”
“I was lucky. “I heard you were busy, so I deliberately postponed your visit. Do you have some free time?”
“You shameless bastard, I have now checked the paper you made. “As soon as you finish eating, come to my lab.”
Salem quietly disappeared after saying those words.
I’m already creating magic related to control, so I need to get some help from him.
If possible, I want to complete it before climbing the tower.
‘Original magic.’
The level of warlock was approaching.
