“Okay, you want to improve your skills, not your skills, right? In short, you want to retrain your basic abilities themselves?”
“Yes, Gerard!”
“me too!”
Gerard thought for a moment. Jim Unbreakable’s techniques can only be implemented if you have a unique body, so even if you wanted to teach them, it would be impossible anyway. However, he felt like he could do it if he trained his basic skills.
‘I guess I can roll it with a moderate intensity, right?’
Gerard nodded cheerfully.
“good night! I’ll take care of it for a while! There is no need to call me master! My only student is Leffenhardt! “But I allow you to call me teacher!”
I don’t know what the difference is between a master and a teacher. It’s not some kind of dark darkness… … Anyway, Russ and Tashid, who received permission, responded happily.
“Yes, I will call you Master!”
“me too!”
☆ ☆ ☆
Reppenhardt was walking through the corridors of the royal palace Gairach with the elf woman, Justia. This was Flora’s new secretary after she became in charge of Carol. As I was in the middle of walking, I suddenly heard a scream from the other side of the palace, as if something alive was slitting its throat.
“Aaaahhh!”
“Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!”
Leppenhardt muttered in confusion.
“Where do you catch a pig?”
The secretary, Justia, quickly opened her mouth.
“Lord Russ and Lord Tashid here, Your Majesty.”
“Eh? “Why are they screaming in the middle of the palace?”
Justia continued her answer politely.
“Not long ago, I heard that you asked Emperor Kwon for guidance. Emperor Gwon also accepts it and guides the two of them… … .”
Leffenhardt laughed in astonishment.
“… … “They are crazy.”
No matter how much you want to become stronger, you still go to see Gerrard… … Leffenhardt took a moment to express his condolences to the two ‘fools’.
“Well, I guess they won’t kill me.”
Putting his mind aside, Reppenhardt started walking again. He was now heading to the throne room located in the center of Gairach. He said that one of the fugitives from another country said he really wanted to meet him.
After the Principality of Antares and the Kingdom of Crovence declared a policy to liberate different races, reactions from various parts of the continent varied. Numerous opinions arose, fighting over its legitimacy. At the extreme, there were opinions like this.
-It is nonsense to say that elves and dwarves are people! How can you treat them like humans just because they look similar to humans? According to that logic, isn’t monsters like ogres, gnolls, and goblins also people?
However, this opinion was an absurd claim even among opponents of the policy of liberation of different races.
Originally, in addition to humans, elves, dwarves, orcs, and trolls, the continent also inhabited lower-level sub-races such as ogres, gnolls, and goblins. In his previous life, when Reppenhardt was defeated in the war, he controlled such monsters with mental magic to control his army. However, this was similar to raising military dogs in other countries, and did not mean that they were treated like humans.
Humans of the current era considered everyone except themselves to be similar sub-races, but in fact, ‘different races belonging to humans’ and sub-races are clearly different.
Sub-race does not mean belonging to humans. It just means that they are similar to humans. Compared to monsters, they use tools and speak simple language to a certain extent, but their actions are performed out of instinct rather than reason, so they are classified as monsters. When it comes to primates, isn’t the difference between a monkey and an ape?
Anyone with a certain degree of knowledge clearly recognizes the difference between a different race and a sub-race.
In any case, the rumor of this ‘different race liberation policy’ spread so widely that opinions like that were even expressed. And thanks to this, the number of people immigrating to the Principality of Antares from all over the continent has also increased significantly. Most of them were humans who had ties to other races.
“I think I can pursue my ideals here.”
“I heard that it is a place where my wife and I can settle down.”
There were many more people in the world than expected who believed that people of different races were not slaves. Even Leffenhardt said, ‘No, were there many people in the world who thought like this? But where on earth were all these people in their past lives?’ It was to the point where I wondered.
Circumstances vary, of course, most people fell in love with elf or dwarf women, but among them were quite a few intellectuals who felt that the current era was strange. A considerable amount of talented people flowed into the Principality of Antares. Among these people, there were quite a few who wanted to have an audience with Reppenhardt and make their talents known.
“We want to propose a new policy!”
“If you choose me, I will present a vision that will lead the future of the principality!”
Well, not everyone was talented. It’s certainly good to have the same beliefs, but in fact, there are people who think their thoughts are enlightened and are not arrogant. I guess most of them are just mouthy people?
These are the people who just talk about things without thinking about achieving something in reality. In other countries, they are the ones who kept quiet for fear of the public’s eyes and are now speaking out. They spread all sorts of bullshit philosophies and theories, but whether they are actually useful is ambiguous.
Still, from the perspective of the Principality of Antares, their presence was also welcome. Because those who speak at least are better than those who don’t speak at all.
So I roughly accepted it and entrusted the task of meeting them to Carol, who had a keen eye for people. He felt a bit sorry for leaving it to Carol to do it, but since she was so quick to do it, he kept making her do it.
Thanks to this, there was no need to have an audience with Tong immigrants these days… … .
“Why did Carol, who can handle most things on her own, call me for something?”
☆ ☆ ☆
In the throne room, Karl and Tila were waiting for Reppenhardt, facing an elf woman. Leffenhardt asked as he entered.
“What’s going on, Chancellor Carol?”
“Ah, this woman really needs to see Your Majesty. She already said she was spherical… … .”
“Huh, spherical face?”
Puzzled, Reppenhardt sat down on the throne. And he calmly looked at the elf woman kneeling on his knees. It didn’t feel very familiar.
‘Who is it?’
Then the woman raised her head. She heard a polite voice.
“I come to see the Lord of Antares.”
“Oh, you… … .”
Carol asked.
“Do you really know this person, Your Majesty?”
Leffenhardt nodded. The moment I saw his face, I knew who it was. Isn’t he the Slayer of Stevan, Relcia, whom we met when we first descended the mountain? I’m sure we haven’t seen Stephen since he joined Thethron and his group, but I never thought we’d see him here.
Relsia secretly noticed Reppenhardt’s gaze. Only then did Reppenhardt come to his senses and make a gesture.
“Hey, stand up. But what happened… … .”
Relsia straightened her back and stood up, staring at Reppenhardt. She opened her mouth clearly, her voice serious.
“I came to entrust you to the Principality of Antares. “Leffenhardt the Liberator.”
In the past, there were quite a few people who were slaves like this and then escaped. So it wasn’t that surprising that Relsia found him.
But Leffenhardt was puzzled. The Slayer’s brainwashing training is truly amazing, and in most cases, his loyalty is not easily shaken. In fact, when we met before, Relsia literally acted as if she would not waste her life for Stephen.
‘But now you have betrayed me?’
Moreover, isn’t Reppenhardt the same person who killed her master, Stephen?
As if reading the questioning look in his eyes, Relsia continued.

“My master is already dead. And even before that, I was abandoned. “My master abandoned me, so what’s strange about me abandoning him?”
She expressed her sincerity and her eyes lit up.
“I don’t want to live as someone’s slave anymore. So I came here. “If you accept it, I will do whatever you ask me to do.”
“is it… … .”
Reppenhardt winked at Tila. Under normal circumstances, this would naturally be suspicious. First of all, I’ll have to monitor the situation and find out what’s going on.
But there is no need for that here. Because there are dwarves who hear the voice of truth.
Tila shook her head.
“I can hear the truth from her. “It’s not a lie.”
Leffenhardt grinned. The idea of liberation of different races that he spread has now reached the point where it has an influence on the brainwashed Slayer. Of course, Relsia is a very unique case, so this happened, and usually slayers would still be blindly loyal to their masters, but this still has great symbolism.
A delighted Leffenhardt greeted her.
“Nice to meet you, Miss Relsia. The Principality of Antares welcomes you. Please feel free to live here as much as you want. If you want a place to stay, I can provide you with a place in the Elven Forest.”
Lelcia answered, slightly embarrassed.
“Can’t we stay at the palace instead, Your Majesty? “Even though I left my master, I still feel a little reluctant to live among my own people.”
It was an understandable request.
Certainly, Slayers receive education from the slave auction house to a different curriculum than regular elves. Even among the elves, it would be difficult for Relsia, who lived an alien life, to live among the elves, no matter how much of the same kin she was.
“If you want that, do it.”
Reppenhardt readily agreed and turned to Tila.
“Miss Tila?”
Tila smiled.
“I am telling the truth, so there is no reason to object. “I will find a position as her maid.”
Relcia knelt gracefully and bowed her head.
“Thank you, Your Majesty!”
Looking down at the happy Relcia, Reppenhardt smiled happily. He became increasingly confident that his dream was coming true.
But Leffenhardt didn’t know.
Relsia lowered her head, and there was no trace of the emotion from just a moment ago on her face.
He just has a cold, hard face, cold eyes, and gritted teeth.
Chapter 43 Everyone is the same
One
The world has definitely changed due to Crovence and Antares’ ‘Declaration of Liberation of Other Races’. Now, at least within those two countries, all different races had equal rights with humans. Humans accepted the new policy and began to treat other races as people, not slaves.
Yes. On the outside, it seemed that way.
However, people do not change that easily.
The people are not pieces on a chessboard. This means that it does not move perfectly according to the commands above. In the eyes of those in power in the kingdom, it seemed that humans and other races were now in harmony, but even so, the policy did not completely permeate every corner.
Zarud, a major trading city in the southern part of the Principality of Antares.
An assault was taking place in a bar in this city where many hawkers come and go.
“How dare you a dwarf!”
“How dare you, a dwarf, enter a human’s bar?”
A dozen strong men were drunk and trampling on a dwarf. The dwarf let out a groan as he was trampled by the shoes.
“Okay, I’m going out! “I’m leaving!”
He was a dwarf who once lived as a slave to a nobleman in Crovence, but now became free. Unlike other clans, they wanted to see a free world, so they went out as peddlers carrying dwarven weapons and tools.
The problem was that I walked a long way back to Zarud and found a random bar to have a quick beer.
Unlike Reppenhardt and Aranan Grad, where the heads of different races hold out, the trading city of Jarud has a long history as a major trading city in Crovence from the beginning. No matter how much the rumor about the Antares disparate race spread and policies were declared, there were still people who still had deep-rooted prejudices.
“How dare such an insolent dwarf try to sit with us?”
“You really don’t understand the subject because the world has changed!”
The drunk people get so excited that they keep trampling on the fallen dwarf. Dwarves who are not born with warrior blood are just short people with sturdy bodies without the power of earth resonance. After beating him to death, the drunks picked up the dwarf and threw him out of the bar.
“go away! “You lowly dwarf!”
“Come on, let’s go and have another drink!”
The drunk people giggled and went back into the bar. Rolling around on the dirt floor, the dwarf shed tears like chicken droppings.
“Ughhhhh!”
They say the world has changed, but people have not changed.
