I’m Not That Kind of Talent - Chapter 348
348. Next story (2)
What should I talk about first?
There is plenty of time anyway, so there is no need to rush. Remember roughly organized his thoughts and began to rhyme.
“…First of all, the border is closed.”
At some point, the boundaries disappeared one by one.
Of course, humanity was in an uproar. I was anxious about this phenomenon for an unknown reason and talked about this topic wherever I went. However, once they realized that there was no major loss other than a temporary disruption in the supply of magic stones, they quickly regained stability. It was embarrassing to make such a fuss.
In fact, there were some who liked it because they felt less worried about monster attacks as time passed.
“It’s not entirely closed… but almost all the borders are gone. As far as I can tell, the only remaining border is here.”
I glanced at a very small border line nearby.
…When Cruel Hart’s tomb was built, it was a time when Deon Hart was crossing between the human world and the demon world, so Remembert at the time created a tomb near the border so that Cruel Hart could watch over him wherever he was.
That still remains.
‘It was a small border even back then.’
Now it has become so small that only one person can barely fit in and out.
Even a large person could not get in and out, so Remember, who knew that Ed was crossing this border to inspect the Demon King’s tomb, looked at the border with worried eyes for a moment to see if it would get any smaller, and then turned his eyes to the tombstone again. .
“…Of course, if you search further, there will be something left. But I have no intention of looking for it.”
Researching retired topics is meaningless because it only gets on your nerves and is not something you can touch on. The saying that ignorance is medicine would be appropriate for this situation.
Above all, I wonder if there is only one person who can do this.
“Esperanes will notice and be looking for you anyway. “It’s none of this old man’s business.”
Remember knows very well the extent of Esperanes’ information network spread throughout the continent. Since he knows, he probably already noticed.
They would take care of the rest, so he didn’t have to worry about it.
“Oh, for your information, the Esperanes intelligence organization has taken advantage of the current chaotic period to take control of the underworld. They go beyond simply handling information and use it to properly control other back alley forces trying to increase their size. So you don’t have to doubt my skills.”
They know how to use the weapon of information and use the results to further strengthen their weapons. Esperanes also have the unique characteristics of neutrality and neglect, and they will not seek to have power beyond maintaining the minimum balance to protect themselves, so there is no one better suited than them to find the boundary and take action.
“And…”
The commoners who were able to survive thanks to the underworld being in a much more stable state than expected, and the people who had enough money to look for alcohol in the village we passed by on the way here a while ago, are listed in reverse order. The accident that was pointed out goes back to the beginning and points out the ‘confusion’ that is the culprit of everything.
Yes, there was something that came to mind when I said ‘current chaotic times’. Remember let out a light sigh.
“‘Other races’ have established themselves in the human world. “Completely different races that only appeared in books suddenly settled in suitable places on the continent.”
Did you say they were each a fairy, a mermaid, and a dwarf?
Fortunately, it was located in a forest where humans don’t often reach… but it’s still embarrassing.
To use an analogy… It’s like a situation where a family fight is going on over property division, and a stranger sneaks in and takes part of the property.
It’s a shame because it’s not worth much. In a war that took place to occupy an unclaimed land, a part of the land was taken as my territory.
“The fact that it happened so naturally and quickly seemed like we had been preparing for it in advance.”
But humans could not move carelessly.
Not only have we not yet been able to estimate the strength of these races, but we have already made it clear that they will remain calm unless we touch them first and will not covet more territory than this. Even the territory they occupied was a land that was pushed to the bottom of the list of importance given by humans, so it was difficult to attack them at the risk of reducing their power.
It was impossible to form an alliance and attack just because we were of the same race because the division and conflict between forces had already deepened.
“It was like… they were just targeting this moment.”
There’s even a saying, ‘It’s better to let other races occupy the land than for other babies to eat it,’ so that’s pretty much the explanation.
Of course, if the opponent was a demon, there would have been extreme rejection and hostility. Alliances between various forces within humanity would also have arisen.
However, the current different races are extremely unfamiliar races that we have never even seen, let alone clashed with, so there is no animosity to speak of.
“Should we consider ourselves lucky that the vampires didn’t come over?”
Remember sensed that various races would live on this land in the future.
…Except for vampires.
“Ah, you might be wondering how I know about the existence of vampires.”
That’s what I said… but if the soul really exists and it didn’t leave the body immediately after death, you might already know about it.
“I have seen their leader.”
It was while recovering Deonhardt’s body that I encountered the leader of the vampire race.
There were no special words or actions, as if he had just come to check on the body, but since it was his first time seeing the leader of another race up close, he could not help but remember it clearly.
***
When Deonhardt returned to take the Demon King’s head.
After hearing the news of his return, the heads of each race ended their tea time with the Demon King and moved to their seats in preparation for crossing over to the human world.
While those who had moved to the dwarven territory were busily looking at the map of the human world and reconfirming what they had each promised, the vampire leader quietly rolled his eyes.
‘…I’ve been waiting for this situation.’
I didn’t understand it at the time when they were trying to save Deonhardt by losing Chuck and I, but now I understand.
‘The Demon King clearly expressed the news of Deonhardt’s return as ‘a guest has arrived.”
Normally, returning allies are not referred to as ‘guests’. In other words, Deonhardt came as an enemy, and the Demon King welcomed him gladly. It’s not like he’s happy to be able to kill a hero again, but he’s probably expecting the opposite.
Yes, if you’ve lived that long, it’s not strange to want to die.
‘Definitely… it would be the perfect timing for those looking for an opportunity to migrate to the human world.’
If Deonhardt overturns the human world and kills the Demon King, there will be no obstacles to moving to the human world. For those who can glimpse the future, it would have been a natural choice.
She looked at each person talking to them with calm eyes.
The Fairy King felt her gaze and turned to look at her.
“Soon almost all borders will be closed. It will become difficult to travel to and from the human world. “Are you sure you’re not going?”
“Yes, we will stay. I told you, right? “Our species does not have a good relationship with the sun.”
The abyss and the human world are not completely separated, so if one day you get tired of the abyss, you can go and think about it then. There’s no need to force yourself to move now when you don’t feel like it.
In response to the firm answer, the Fairy King shrugged his shoulders as if he would not ask any more questions and returned to his territory. All he had to do was reconfirm the existing plans and promises, so the head of the mermaid tribe left as if he had finished his business. The vampire leader thought for a moment, ignoring the dwarf leader’s gaze asking if he was going.
‘It’s a bit unfortunate to go back right away… I guess I’ll go see the battle between the Demon King and the Hero.’
Their battle cannot be certain of anything, not even the process, the outcome, or the time it will take to reach a conclusion, so it may have already ended, but it is a very rare opportunity to confirm the devil’s body, so there is nothing to lose by going.
‘As long as they don’t fight in the central garden, we won’t get caught up in battle, so it’ll be fine.’
Unless you go crazy, you won’t fight in the greenhouse.
She moved back to the central garden of the Demon King’s Castle.
So, upon arriving, the vampire leader discovered not one but two bodies. It was the body of a crazy person.
The bodies of the demon king and the hero, beyond any doubt.
For a moment, I felt a chill running down my spine at the knowledge that if I had come a little earlier, I could have been caught up in the fight between the two.
“…Yeah, that’s it.”
As a vampire leader who sees the present, she finished understanding the situation and muttered softly.
There was a question from an old human asking who you were and a wary question from a demon asking why you came here, but I lightly ignored them.
“That’s why I just focused on moving without worrying about anything else.”
If the hero is alive, even if he moves to the human world, there will still be an element of anxiety, but it seems like there is no such thing to worry about.
That was because the warrior was also scheduled to die.
Since the Demon King cannot commit suicide, given the circumstances, the hero who killed the Demon King must have committed suicide himself. In the meantime, the question remains that we don’t know how the hero’s eyes turned out that way, but the assumption we made earlier is probably correct. I don’t know the reason, but that was a little disappointing.
‘Apart from being defined as a piece of chaos that needs to be killed, I quite liked the way he lived in the present.’
They say it’s hard to forget the devil because he’s the devil, but this is the first time a human has left such a strong impression. That’s why the ending of the guy who gave up on the present was quite disappointing.
…Anyway, since we have confirmed the death of the chaos, there is nothing to worry about.
Now that it was time to focus on her race again, she quietly looked down at Deon Hart’s body and quietly left.
***
“That’s it. There’s nothing special going on, so I don’t have anything more to say. Instead, let me tell you another story. “This may also be unfamiliar information to you.”
Remember naturally changed the topic.
“A country called the Republic was established. It is a country with a completely different political system than previous kingdoms or empires. The country claimed that sovereignty belongs to the people. “It would be a truly sweet story for commoners and scholars.”
I don’t know if that’s actually the case.
***
How long has it been since the revolutionary army went into hiding?
Temporary leader Iram, who had been preparing for various things by reviewing the thoughts and teachings of the first leader Daniel and the second leader Paul, realized that now was the right time to reveal himself to the world.
There is nothing strange about which country is established or which organization is formed. So she boldly appeared to the world, officially proclaiming the establishment of a country with the name ‘Republic’. It was a natural result that the name Iram became widely known.
“It shouldn’t be like that in the first place….”
“Yes? what did you say?”
“…Originally, my name was not supposed to be known. To be precise, the names of all those who will become the heads of this republic in the future should not be known.”
“What do you mean…”
Well, since I am used to the monarchy, it is understandable. Iram flicked his pen and added an explanation.
“This country is a republic. It is a country where sovereignty lies with the people. Do you think it is normal for the people in such a country to know the name of the leader?”
“…?”
“That means things are not good.”
Originally, it was said that the most peaceful time for a country was when the people were not interested in the king.
Especially in this ‘republic’, the fact that the people know the name of the leader means that something is going terribly wrong.
“Especially as the interim leader, my name should not remain in history…”
She sighed.
“The situation is the way it is now, so there’s nothing we can do about it.”
“….”
“You don’t have to take it seriously. “I was just complaining because I was at a loss for the future.”
“Ah…”
Iram’s name was already known as the founder of the republic. Moreover, in order to protect the country in these difficult times, we must have the power to unite opinions.
“Of course, this should be an exception until the war is over.”
There is nothing we can do to avoid losing the country we built. If you want to become a nameless leader, you can teach the succession firmly.
Of course, there is no suitable successor yet, but she quietly strengthened her will with her eyes shining.
