Meanwhile, a question suddenly occurred to me.
“Leffenhardt.”
“huh?”
“Did you originally know Prince Yubel?”
“No, this is my first time seeing your face. “I only heard rumors.”
“Then who won in the past life?”
It’s an unrelated issue, but I’m still curious. Reppenhardt chuckled and answered mercilessly.
“Prince Karsas. In fact, in his previous life, Prince Yubel disappeared in the wake of the guillotine.”
And Prince Yubel disappears from history as a disgrace to the royal family with his lewd tastes. According to original history, Prince Carsas would become the king of Crovence Kingdom. Siris, who heard the story, frowned.
“… … Surely things won’t go according to history?”
“That would have happened if I hadn’t intervened.”
Leffenhardt answered confidently. Of course, he was not uneasy about what the consequences would be if he intervened in history to the extent of changing the king of a country. but… … .
“Actually, this is normal. “It is rather abnormal to know what the future holds.”
Time went back anyway.
History is being rewritten anyway.
From the moment Reppenhardt returned to this era, the history he knew had become a past that did not exist. It is no different from the tall tales made up by bards.
“Because I’m already living a new life. Fearing the unseen future, I still do my best to build hope. “Like everyone else.”
Siris nodded while looking at Reppenhardt, who was muttering like a song. And she whispered softly.
“I hope it goes well.”
“We have to make it work. And I think the results will be pretty good. “If we fight together with orcs, elves, and dwarves, and if humans see them as comrades in arms rather than slaves.”
Leffenhardt looked up at the yellow sky. The last conversation with Yubel lingered in my mind.
-Your Majesty Yubel, I have something to tell you about the troops providing assistance to you.
-What is it?
-They are orcs, dwarves and elves. I have come here on behalf of their will.

The rest of the group was staying at a small inn on the outskirts of town. As Repenhardt and Siris entered, they were greeted by Cilan, Russ, and Tila who had gathered in the hall.
“Did the story go well, brother?”
“so so? “So far it seems to be going well.”
Leffenhardt and his group sat huddled around the fireplace in the hall. Russ muttered with an expression of admiration.
“But you’re starting to make quite a grand move, brother.”
It’s already been a month since I left Grand Forge. Reppenhardt and his party have been frantically exploring ruins in various places. The number of ruins they have explored so far is as many as ten! At this point, it would be more accurate to say that I was just brushing it off rather than exploring it. In fact, for Reppenhardt, who knew all the information, it was not an exploration at all.
No one would believe me if I told them that I explored the ruins once every three days. But it wasn’t completely impossible. Russ, an Auror, and Tila, a dwarf warrior, have joined, and Reppenhardt has also regained some of his magical powers. I had enough ability to explore, but saving time was no problem as I had to hold the official answer sheet next to me. He was able to shake off the relic like a gale.
Russ smiled bitterly as he recalled that incident.
“To be honest, it was harder to come out with the artifact than to deal with the demons in the ruins.”
Of course, as I looted the ruins here and there, the number of infinite pockets increased significantly. Currently, Reppenhardt and his party had collected more than ten Infinite Pouches with a compression rate of nearly ten times. However, no matter how much the volume and weight were reduced, it was clear that the absolute size itself was so large that it was difficult to carry around.
Cilan nodded as if he understood what Russ said.
“Iknow, right. “It’s a shame because I gained muscle.”
“… … No, I don’t think it would make much of a difference if a guy who can carry one canteen can now carry two canteens, right?”
“Ugh! But soon you’ll be able to lift three!”
“Okay, so it’s just a canteen, right?”
Russ and Cilan joked and laughed. Leffenhardt let out an exasperated laugh.
“… … I brought more than half of it anyway, but… … .”
In any case, Reppenhardt, who had acquired a large number of relics from the Silver Age, was able to accumulate considerable wealth by selling valuable items to Taoban Trading Company. Not only did they bring ten relics, even the most expensive ones, but they also scraped up the entire bottom, so the amount was no joke. Moreover, thanks to the great famine, the 1,500 gold coins invested in Taoban Trading Company had become a large amount of more than 30,000 gold coins. Even after giving his share to Silan and Russ, his total wealth was now close to 60,000 gold coins. The two men had also entrusted property worth about 10,000 gold coins to Taoban Trading Company.
Russ drew his sword, caressed it, and smiled.
“Money is money, but I’m even happier that I have the opportunity to make a name for myself, brother.”
After completing what should be called relic exploration rather than relic exploration, Reppenhardt and his party entered the Kingdom of Crovence. He then explained to his companions his plan to join the civil war. There is no way Siris or Tilaya would be against it, but she was a little worried about how Russ and Cilan would turn out, but surprisingly, both of them were happy and expressed their approval.
-I have already sworn to follow my brother. Besides, fame is inevitable in order to return to the family anyway. If I raise my name on the battlefield, won’t my goal get closer?
This is Russ’ answer.
-I already said that I agreed with Mr. Leffen’s wishes. What are you doing now? And exploring ruins is good, but as a pilgrim, you have to be among people.
This is Silan’s answer.
As long as both of them willingly decide to follow Reppenhardt, there is nothing to hesitate about. Leppenhardt and his party immediately moved to the Viscounty of Delphia in search of Yubel. And as planned, they succeeded in contacting Prince Yubel.
At that moment, the inn’s hostess came into the hall carrying a lot of food.
“I have prepared a meal. Everyone, please eat a lot~.”
Thanks to Reppenhardt and his party, who were connected to the Taoban Trading Company, this inn was enjoying an untimely windfall. Reppenhardt, who clearly knew that there was no food, had requested from the beginning through Taoban Trading Company to bring all the food ingredients here in advance. From their perspective, it was as if food had fallen from the sky. Now in the Kingdom of Crovence, food is more precious than money. The inn owner and his wife were behaving very kindly, as if Leffenhardt and his group were saviors who had come down to the royal family.
“If you need anything, just tell me.”
“Yes, good work.”
The polite Silan gives thanks on behalf of the group. When the hostess went back in, feeling sorry, the group started a belated dinner. While taking a gulp of ale, Silan suddenly asked.
“Oh, by the way, Mr. Leffen. I have a question.”
“huh? What?”
“Did we have a large sum of 100,000 gold coins?”
Silan calculated that the combined wealth of their group did not exceed 80,000 gold coins. However, Reppenhardt confidently asked for 100,000 coins. It couldn’t have been a lie since Finia was by his side. However, given Leffenhardt’s personality, it seems unlikely that he would steal money without the group’s knowledge. So that was the question I had.
Leffenhardt grinned.
“So, it’s not 100,000 gold coins, it’s ‘grain worth 100,000 gold coins.’”
Currently, Taoban Trading Company was making huge profits thanks to Reppenhardt’s investment. Siebold, who was impressed by what Reppenhardt had done within the Duchy of Chatan – mercilessly killing the head of the duchy’s second-highest caravan company – realized that his insight was extraordinary, and devoted all his power to buying grain for Crovens. moved to the kingdom It was a risky move that would have led to ruin on the spot if a great famine had not occurred, but Siebold boldly implemented the plan. If it weren’t for Reppenhardt, he would have been doomed anyway, so he seemed to think that it was the opportunity of his life and to take a gamble.
Fortunately, the gamble paid off. And in an instant, Siebold was able to become the owner of the second largest grand meeting in the Principality of Chatan.
It was natural for him to feel gratitude and reverence for Reppenhardt. Well, that doesn’t mean he did something senseless like making Reppenhardt the owner of the store. No matter how grateful I am, he is still a merchant. Instead, he promised only to Leffenhardt that when he buys grain, he will sell it at the purchase price rather than the current market price. It was a merchant-like repayment to the benefactor who saved the upper class and allowed it to grow significantly.
In other words, the ‘grain worth one hundred thousand gold coins’ that Reppenhardt spoke of can actually be purchased for about thirty-four thousand gold coins at most.
After hearing the story, Tila clicked her tongue.

“It strangely seems like a scam, that.”
Isn’t this a completely foolish gamble? Reppenhardt shrugged his shoulders.
“What do you think? “You didn’t lie, right?”
Even Finia could not find the lie in his words, so it was definitely not a lie. Contrary to his own thoughts, Leffenhardt also seemed to have a tendency to be a swindler. He was giggling, but suddenly Russ’ expression hardened and he asked.
“I have a question too, brother.”
Repenhardt looked back at Russ while chewing on a chicken leg.
“You said there were six Aurors, right?”
“It did.”
Russ started counting by counting his fingers.
“My brother, me, and three dwarf auror users… … .”
Russ, who had his right hand folded, looked like he couldn’t understand.
“There are only five of us? “Are there any Auror abilities among the elves that I don’t know about?”
“Ah, of course, elves also have Auror abilities… … .”
There was only one Elf Auror user he remembered. And the elf auror user and his previous life, the demon lord Reppenhardt, did not get along very well. A relationship where you’re an ally but not a friend?
‘I’m the type that’s hard to persuade, so it’s a bit hard to visit him at this point… … .’
Leffenhardt shrugged his shoulders.
“Not an elf. And I’m not included in that number. “I will only move behind the scenes and have no intention of going to the front.”
Russ tilted his head as if he couldn’t understand even more.
“Then you two are empty, right?”
Repenhardt took a swig from his glass of ale. After cooling his throat, his eyes lit up.
“are you okay. “The great orc warriors, Kalken and Stala, will join us.”
“… … Orc? Are there any Auror abilities among the Orcs?”
Not only Russ but also Cilan looked surprised. Even though they were the same slave race, there was a strong perception that orcs were stupid compared to elves and dwarves. And it is true that in reality, there are many people who are, on average, stupid.
Is there anyone who awakened the soul of the great sword in such an orc?
Feeling the surprised look in his eyes, Reppenhardt slowly opened his mouth.
“There is a wilderness about 15 days southeast of the Rachid Mountains. A land called the Land of Trials by non-human races. “There are orcs there who have preserved their old traditions.”
They are not timid orc slaves who have lost all their wild nature, nor are they orc gladiators who only develop savagery and become ferocious, but who maintain the soul of a proud warrior through an exquisite combination of reason and savagery.
“They call it the Blue Bear Tribe.”
And the leaders who led them were the great orc warriors Kalken and Stella. In their previous life, they, who were a married couple, led Repenhardt’s army with tremendous fighting power even though they were already old.
Even Reppenhardt could not have guessed how strong they would be now, as they must have been in their prime in this era.
‘Now that I think about it, Tashid must be there too. I guess that guy has grown up a lot?’
Suddenly, the faces of the rugged Orc warrior from my previous life and the small, little Orc boy came to mind at the same time. Leffenhardt grinned with longing.
Russ shook his head in disbelief.
“Of course, among the orc gladiators, I found some who were quite useful… … Even so, are the orcs that strong?”
Reppenhardt said firmly with a straight face.
“As far as I know, they are the strongest fighting group on earth. Even if it includes all humans, elves, and dwarves!”
Volume 5
Chapter 15 Blue Soul Warriors
One
Freezeland, a permafrost located in the northernmost part of the Kingdom of Grime.
About a dozen people were camping among a desolate valley in a vast snow field with endless ice caps. They pitched three tents made of thick fur and used the cliffs of the valley as a windbreak to warm themselves by a campfire, avoiding the blowing north wind.
An old man wearing a thick fur hat trembles with his delicate hands and blows white breath.
“Whoa, whoo… … “It’s cold.”
The giant who was warming up by the fire spoke interrogatively to the old man.
“Can’t you increase your firepower a little more, Wizard Hal?”
