Geomje reincarnated as a swordsman (254)
day.
Leonard went to Declen’s mansion and encountered a swordsman dressed in formal attire, unlike usual.
There is no country that can enforce its etiquette on demi-god level strongmen who have reached the 9th rank or are demigods. This was because the status of the Queen Mother, the status of nobles distinguished by the world, was ultimately limited to the realm of mortals.
What if it was a situation where you had to appear in front of people who didn’t recognize or understand that?
If we were to meet in private, even the minimal writing method was meaningless.
but.
“Just as there was with the founding emperor Ragna and the three progenitors, there is an implicit respect between the three families and His Majesty the Emperor. His military power is not his only strength, and his role in protecting this world is too great to be ignored.”
“Is that so? “I didn’t think there was much that someone who couldn’t move on the ecliptic could contribute.”
Leaving his body to the attendants who were measuring his clothes, Leonard asked the questions that naturally came to his mind.
The saying that force is not all there is to power becomes increasingly blurred starting from the realm of demigods and loses its meaning once you reach the level of true gods. If you have enough strength, you can do anything. There was no way Declen had said it without knowing that.
Declen also looked like he knew he was going to ask a question.
“Do you remember what I said before?”
“Are you saying that His Majesty the Emperor is ‘beloved by the world’?”
“It’s exactly as you said. Since the founding of the country, the world’s favoritism has been embedded in its bloodline. “From trivial to major matters, it is a level of divine protection that makes everything go smoothly.”
Even for Leonard, who had improved his understanding of magic and supernatural powers while reincarnating into this world, the explanation was extremely difficult.
In some ways, it was a natural thing.
The power passed down to the Arcadian imperial family was an ability whose existence was questioned even in this world. Even in ancient times, when a person appeared once, dozens of gods fought to capture that person, causing an untimely storm.
The ability of ‘the one loved by the world’ was very simple.
“To sum it up in one word, everything goes well.”
Declan explained it while laughing as if he himself found it absurd.
Everything goes well.
Anyone who has lived life for a while would know how absurd this sounds. The fact that everything in the world does not go as planned was a fact that no one needed to repeat. Sharing your feelings with someone you love, acquiring gold and silver treasures, and enjoying the honor of being praised by many people.
Nevertheless, the demigod who could split a mountain with a single sword strike declared.
The emperor of Arcadia is said to be the one who embraces that irrationality.
“The people of the empire are already insensitively accepting it, but if you look at history books and records a little more carefully, you can feel it. “There is something strange about this country.”
“what?”
“Not only has the Arcadian Empire never experienced a harvest famine, but there has never been a natural disaster.”
Leonard’s face became astonished as he understood those words.
Arcadia is a large empire that occupies more than half of the continent. It was so large that even if you combined the eight states of the eight states and the five lakes and four seas that Yeon Mu-hyeok had visited many times in his previous life, it would be 40% larger than that.
You can know this without even studying astronomy or geography.
When you go up, you are greeted by cold like the North Sea, and when you go down, you are greeted by heat like the South Bay. There are places where heavy rain falls, and there are places where deserts and wastelands are the norm.
however.
‘No matter how fertile the land is, its strength is strong and it is bound to go through periods of decline… ! ‘Can there be something called fertile soil whose circulation has stopped for nearly a thousand years?’
There was nothing to say in the case of natural disasters such as earthquakes, volcanoes, or typhoons. A large-scale natural disaster was a problem that even the emperor had to drag his fat body out to offer ancestral rites.
Even Leonard, who has gained a deeper understanding of the structure of nature by breaking through his reflexes, cannot recreate a natural disaster with pure ability. The dissonance that arises from the movement of this star is a natural disaster, and its true scale of power was at the highest level even at the Jinshin level.
“Is that what it means to be loved by the world?!”
“It’s more than that.”
Declan was astonished the day he learned of the Emperor’s ability, which could not even be replaced by demigod-level force.
It had to be that way.
“The country has never been devastated by a natural disaster, there has never been an epidemic, great evildoers and traitors are suddenly killed or subjugated at the moment of their birth, crops are always plentiful, and the empire’s talented people are basically of good character. It is rare for there to be a defect. “It is not uncommon for even a devastated land to become normalized soon after it is incorporated into the imperial territory.”
“… … .”
“This could be said to be the reason why the Three Dukes absolutely protected the imperial family and served the lineage of the founding emperor.”
Only then did Leonard understand it.
This is impossible.
There was no choice but to accept the truth that the Arcadia Empire’s abnormal national power and prosperity came from its bloodline.
“Foul… Isn’t it?”
“Of course, it doesn’t work for all beings. From the level of a demigod, you can defy His Majesty’s power. “It’s like the [Nine Hells] created by foreign gods that interfered in this world with true god-level power or the remnants of evil gods of the old era, the Spriggans who functioned as the limbs of Yggdrasil, and the Elyos who are a collection of higher species from the old era.”
“It’s Samgong who handles that exception. “If the Three Dukes are responsible for defeating external threats, the imperial family is responsible for internal affairs.”
“That’s accurate. “If you just want to defeat an enemy, a sword is enough, but if you want to rule a country, a sword is not enough.”
After explaining up to that point, Declan looked back at the grandfather clock and said.
“It’s time for an appointment. “Shall we leave soon?”
“All right.”
When Declan, who had summarized the story about the emperor, stood up, Leonard, who was already dressed in formal attire, followed him.
“You have to use the space door that leads directly to the imperial palace.”
Their destination was the basement of this mansion.
There is only one way to travel to the heart of Arcadia, the ecliptic Eterna. Using the space door placed at the head of the Samgong family. Even for a 9th rank great mage, it was impossible to move through space within the ecliptic.
As soon as the two people went down to the basement, the mana around the matriarch’s mansion started to fluctuate loudly, and soon became quiet.
The swordsmen closest to Shinhwagyeong left for the Imperial Capital.
* * *
Arcadia Empire.
Etherna, a city that became the heart of the empire solely because the imperial family resided there, was incredibly prosperous. Because it was the place where the abilities of the ‘beloved of the world’ were most powerfully applied, the defense power of the world law was so absurd that foreign media could not even look into it.
It could also be said to be the most prosperous and safe place in the world.
“Hey, Antony. No matter how much I think about it, my role is ultimately not much different from that of a totem, is it?”
And in the center of the imperial palace, which corresponds to the heart of the ecliptic, the girl lying on the throne stamped her feet in dissatisfaction.
A crown worn as if it would fall down from the top of the head.
The clothes she had been wearing were all disheveled, to the point where her undergarments were visible, but there was no one to point it out or get angry. This was because I had left everyone behind before talking to the guests I was planning to meet today. As an exception, only one person was left behind, but the spirit of the wizard who lived for over 300 years was no different from that of a plant.
“… “Before I join you in the story, could you at least put on some shoes or socks?”

“It’s frustrating! Even if you do everything from ventilation to temperature control, won’t your luggage’s body remain at its best anyway? “Let’s be a little more comfortable in a private setting.”
“Please keep your toes quiet. “It’s crazy.”
On the other hand, Emperor Laila’s distraction was beyond imagination, to the point where even the old wizard sighed involuntarily.
“It’s my last holiday after working non-stop for 6 months, but if I can’t be free even today, my motivation to work drops!”
So, the old wizard who saw the emperor rolling around on the throne that was several meters from side to side, saying that he would do whatever he wanted, was thankful that he was the only one watching.
Pentagon’s second place, Antonius.
The great mage, who had reached the 9th level with sealing magic and barrier magic, turned his eyes towards the clock. I guess I thought it would feel better after the guests arrived.
It was that moment.
“You’re here!”
As Lila, who had been hanging down like a sloth, straightened up and smiled, a wave of mana burst out.
Activating space magic that cannot be used in the Imperial Capital.
The only people allowed to come and go were the heads of the three families.
“I will lead you this way, Your Majesty.”
“Mmmmm! “Hurry up!”
Antonius made a hand sign while standing in place and began to control the imperial palace, which was so gigantic that its spatial structure was twisted like a labyrinth. Every time each finger is entangled and untangled, space measuring several kilometers is shattered and reorganized.
It was a skill worthy of Antony, a ‘barrier master,’ who could handle three equally skilled fighters within a thoroughly prepared barrier.
He connected the space from the space door to the front door of the throne room, and when he withdrew his hand, the door eventually opened.
“I have come as you called, Your Majesty. “It’s your first holiday in a while.”
Declan, who appeared from beyond the door, gave Antony a greeting with a bitter smile on his face. You may or may not know that the look in your eyes that says, “You are going through a lot of hardship,” is even more bitter.
Of course, Lila noticed their exchange of glances, but paid no attention.
“OK! I was already feeling comfortable, so make sure you guys are comfortable too! and… .”
I made eye contact with Leonard, who walked in behind Declen.
“… I’ve heard a lot about it, but this is my first time seeing it in person. Do you know me, Leonard of Cárdenas?”
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
Even as Leonard responded, he couldn’t help but feel more surprise than he had expected from meeting Lila.
The world law is rejoicing.
Just by looking at her face to face, good will naturally arises. It is not a trivial ability like ‘charm’ or ‘fascination’. Just like looking at a clear sky makes you feel refreshed, just like the wind tickling your cheek makes you smile without even realizing it. It was a completely different influence from the presence of foreign media that aroused fanaticism.
Even the Reaper and Dragonheart, which were boiling inside his body, just watched with a neutral attitude and showed no sign of going against the favor shown to Laila.
“That’s hilarious. “Declen didn’t look at me like that in the past, but you are indeed a worthy candidate for the throne.”
Leonard, who came to his senses at her words, bowed reflexively.
“… “It was rude.”
“no. Even the great mage and the rebellious strongman had unique reactions when they first met me. If I wanted to, I could kill him without hesitation, but I couldn’t deny the favor itself. “But you’re flowing your favor towards me like a stream?”
“It’s fun,” Lila muttered and smiled.
“I think it will be more interesting than Jim expected. I am satisfied. So, wouldn’t it be right to tell all the boring and uninteresting stories first? “Anthony.”
“I will follow your orders, Your Majesty.”
Antony took a step forward at her call and said, showing his palm open.
“This is a message from the Mystical Society. Regarding the possibility of collusion between foreign media and demons, we have found the most likely possibility. “Because the logical structure is still insufficient, please understand that I am only discussing the conclusion.”
Declan and Leonard’s eyes widened at the same time as they heard the unexpected information.
