Talent-Swallowing Magician - Chapter 194
Chapter 194:
Interpretation of Authority
Unlike the Star Wars, who got along well with their tribe members, the people of Count Franz and Viscount Twerk were not like that at all.
You must maintain your dignity as a noble. Or, we must maintain our pride as citizens of the empire. This was because that way of thinking was firmly embedded in my head.
“How can you hang out with a group of traitors like that…!”
“Let alone loyalty to the empire, you have no basic concepts or culture.”
“This is why they are called cloth.”
The people of Count Franz and Viscount Twerk were busy literally treating the Borfur people, who did not wear proper clothes and had strange tattoos on their faces, as ‘barbarians’.
Even though I may receive their help now, they were all worse than animals that I would have to subdue one day.
Such differences in stance could not help but be clearly visible in their attitudes.
“Aaaah!”
It ended up being an accident.
Brian and Ate, who were chatting with some of the tribe members they had become close with at the time, heard a woman’s screams and hurriedly moved in that direction.
The place I stopped by was near the well.
It was usually a place where tribal women gathered to collect water or wash clothes.
just as expected.
There was a Borfur woman sitting on the floor with her red face covered, and two Twerk soldiers huffing and looking down at her.
One of the two soldiers was busy waiting patiently, as if his anger was not going away, and the other was busy telling his colleague to stop, noticing that people kept gathering around him.
Warriors and soldiers who had heard the commotion and rushed to the area had already surrounded the well.
The two groups, Viscount Twerk and the Borfur tribe, faced each other with their eyes wide open.
An imminent situation.
It seemed like it would explode at any moment if left like this.
“What’s going on?”
Brian realized the seriousness of the situation and went inside, dividing the crowd.
I was able to roughly guess what had happened, but I still had to deal with the situation first.
“Brother.”
The first to react was a warrior from the Borfur tribe.
Kunana. He was a senior warrior with a fairly high rank in the village.
He has already had many interactions with Brian Ate and can be said to have become the closest friend.
“They. we. daughter. “I was harassed.”
Kunana tried to explain the incident somehow, mixing up short vocabulary.
Originally, I barely knew how to speak the imperial language, but this changed as I became closer to Brian.
This meant that they also tried to become friendly with them.
But I ended up in this accident.
Fortunately, there was no problem understanding the meaning even with Kunana’s short vocabulary.
“Is what they say true?”
Brian frowned and glared at the two soldiers.
The two soldiers flinched for a moment due to their strong spirit.
Soon the soldier, whose face was red, showed courage and twitched one side of his lip.
“Hehe! Our Brian would be great, right? I heard all the barbarians call me brothers. “Do you think it feels good to suck their behinds like that?”
Clearly sarcastic remarks.
But instead of responding, Brian looked the soldier up and down and asked in a cold tone.
“Have you been drinking?”
For a moment, the soldier looked quite puzzled.
“What is that? Now, did something go wrong?”
“It was wrong. Because making alcohol requires a lot of grain. “It must have already been a month since the prohibition on alcohol was implemented because military food was already in short supply.”
“That’s…!”
“Otherwise it means you stole the village’s storage. “That amounts to theft.”
Brian’s gaze returned to the woman victim.
While being supported by her tribe members, she was still in shock and trembling slightly. Ate was seen hurriedly approaching and handing over a handkerchief and apologizing.
“Besides, we were clearly told to leave quietly and not to mess with the villagers… Are you still breaking that?”
Tsutsutsu –
The spirit that Brian exuded was already spreading to those around him.
The soldiers of Count Franz and Viscount Twerk looked quite perplexed.
flinch!
Some people were overcome by their spirit and even took a step back.
None of them would have ever thought that Brian would have such a strong magical scent.
within the past month. It was a passage that showed how much he had changed after learning special training from Elric and interacting with the Borfur tribe, who were born warriors.
Even though it was a very short period of time, the spiritual gains that Brian gained during that time were absolutely significant compared to what he gained over the course of his entire life.
“So you’re saying you’re going to do something to me? Twerk Viscount’s Rice Soldier Day?”
The soldier’s shoulders were weighed down and his face turned pale.
They strongly protested, saying they would try to resist in any way they could.
“It doesn’t matter whether you belong to the twerk author or not.”
Brian took a long step forward.
The soldier hesitated and retreated. Twerk’s soldiers hurriedly stepped forward.
“As long as you are here, you are serving the starry army. The commander is Elric Mervinger, and as long as he is on the battlefield, his orders are the same as military orders. “Breaking that means breaking military discipline.”
Brian’s eyes shone coldly.
He placed his hand on the handle of the sword hanging at his waist.
“I will hand you over to a court-martial. However, since it is far from the main army, it will be handled informally.”
“…!”
“Stop it!”
“Trying to touch someone!”
Twerk’s soldiers hurriedly rushed in and blocked Brian’s path.
“Servant of the stars! Suppress the rebels who try to defy the strict military laws!”
Ate, who was watching this, screamed.
Then, the star servant who was quietly waiting behind him hurriedly rushed into the circle of people and confronted the twerk author.
A bloody momentum passed.
The tribe members naturally sided with the Star Army. Count Franz’s soldiers watched from the middle and joined Viscount Twerk’s side.
“You say you will punish criminals, but are you trying to block their path?”
“We are just trying to protect our family. “Unlike you unscrupulous people who are trying to protect the traitorous barbarians.”
An officer from the twerk author side responded like that.
They showed a firm determination that they would never give up their soldiers.
Of course, Brian was not one to back down just because of that.
He knew.
If you take Twerk’s side because you are afraid of conflict at this moment, the trust you barely built with the Borfur people will be destroyed in an instant.
And it was clear that the initiative to lead the military in the future would also be lost to them.
I should never have left it like that.
“That won’t work.”
At that time, Brian, with a stern face, was about to order the star servants to suppress the rebels and bring out the criminals.
“What kind of fuss is this!”
Suddenly, a shouting sound from Viscount Curansiville, the head of Viscount Twerk’s family, was heard from behind.
Gooooo!
Viscount Curanciville walked forward with a fierce stride.
Although it was a powerful killing that instantly tore off Brian’s spirit and covered the entire star army in one fell swoop.
No one in the star group, including Brian, blinked.
This means that he has become a soldier with a strong will.
But it put a dent in Viscount Couransiville’s pride.
After Elric Mervinger, there were other bastards who were trying to harm his dignity.
“We were trying to secure new recruits to bring criminals to court-martial.”
“sinner?”
“As you can see, the matter is serious.”
“Are you trying to mess with my family just because you molested a simple barbarian girl? “Let’s see. Your arrogance has seeped deep into your bones.”
“It seems you are the one showing an arrogant attitude, Viscount.”
“what?”
“I just follow the commander’s military orders.”
“This guy is still-!”
Viscount Curanciville’s eyes sparkled as he looked at Brian who was talking to him without saying a single word.
Finally, he couldn’t bear it any longer and extended his hand towards Brian.
Kwa Kwa Kwa –
A strong magical wind blows in all directions like a storm.
A huge tsunami swept over Brian and the rest of the group.
In front of him.
Brian looked dangerous, like a drifting shipwreck.
Still, their eyes were shining brightly.
* * *
【I’ll ask you again…】
【Who are you…. Who are you to have his… heart…?】
Every single word is like a ghost It shook the spirit of the Elric connected to it.
The letters were so strong that they were even embedded in the heart of Elric, who was a considerable distance away, like a brand.
A force that causes the atmosphere to vibrate and even disrupts the laws beyond.
It was a power that Elric knew very well.
Yong-eon (龍言).
The dragon’s words that you can only reach it by going through several levels of magic… were reaching Elric.
【His… heart… is supreme. How can you, as a human being… have it…?】
‘How are you alive?’
I never thought there would still be a surviving dragon.
Of course, judging from the way he was just breathing shallowly in the cave, it was hard to say it was normal.
Because I didn’t feel any of the powerful power or intense magic that is naturally associated with dragons.
It just looked like a huge beast with a ferocious nature.
It seemed like it was quite difficult to use verbs like this.
It seemed like he had probably lost most of his strength.
but.
Even leaving all that aside, it was surprising enough that a dragon that was said to be extinct remained like this.
Even the Borfur tribe, who had him as their guardian dragon, seemed unaware of it.
If this fact were known to the outside world, there would be quite a stir.
‘The problem is that it appears that his lifespan is not long.’
It wouldn’t have been surprising even if that dragon had died long ago.
Yet, I was barely able to breathe by leaning on what was barely left of the absolute power I had in the past.
Elric has seen many cases like that.
Regret.
It meant that there was something left unresolved before leaving this world.
‘What should I answer?’
Elric thought for a moment.
The ‘his heart’ that this dragon was referring to clearly seemed to refer to the jewel dragon’s dragon heart.
‘But it feels a bit uncomfortable to say that I just took the blame for destroying Mephisto.’
I knew very well how proud the dragon was and how much it hated the demons.
However, if I said that I had Dragon Heart and Demon Jewel mixed into one… I didn’t know what would come out.
however.
【So… something…】
Even though Elric hasn’t responded yet.
The dragon spoke in a voice that seemed to somehow understand something.
【You… are… Mervinger…】
【He said…】
【You will… raise up our perishing clan. .. Just as you did in the long past… Be our master… 】
【The founder of dragons.】
