The Academy’s Weapon Replicator - Chapter 546
Episode 546
Chapter 147 Nastrond (6)
A meeting was held in the Empire of Terst.
A meeting is held to gather all the zodiacs, promising professionals and high-ranking nobles.
The scale of this was comparable to that of the previous Mangot War,
There is no one here.
Frontier de Roach·
The man who gave everyone operational and deployment orders in front of the conference room. He was not here.
Instead, another person entered the conference room.
“My name is Elodie de Inies Richaera.”
He spoke to everyone who came in. Long ago, in the very spot where Frondia had stood.
“Your Majesty, Your Highness the Empress, and all those who have been the light of the Empire here, I stand here with something to say.”
Everyone in the conference room looks at Elodie.
But that gaze is not kind.
‘Inies·’
A child loved by five gods
A girl who was once a promising prospect comparable to Aster and a light to the empire more than anyone else.
However, the traitor who left this continent following the devil Frondia
“The gods will come”
Elodie met their gaze and said:
“God regards humans as his enemies and has come down to this land to trample on the empire.”
“······”
Everyone is silent at those words.
Elodie’s remarks are unpleasant, but not shocking either.
Because
“Why should we believe that?”
One of the pros says:
They were suspicious of Elodie from the beginning.
Elodie closed her eyes.
‘You still don’t believe me, do you?’
Elodie was a wizard who had high expectations from the Empire. No, it would not be an exaggeration to say that she received all the expectations of a wizard.
She suddenly leaves the empire and comes back saying that it is an attack by God.
She is a colleague of Frondier who is suspected of being a demon. She is difficult to trust.
However,
“You know, Elodie…”
Zodiac, Daisy Foster opens her mouth
“Where is Ludovic?”
“···yes?”
“He left the empire and went to the continent you were on. Didn’t you meet him?”
“···Ah, he, we met. We found a place to stay near our house, and we are staying together.·”
Daisy then looked at Zodiac Monty with a smirk.
“Look, I won”
“joy·”
A few coins fly through the air with a jangle, and Daisy deftly catches them with her hands.
Monty said, sounding dissatisfied.
“I misjudged him. I thought he would return to the empire right after work was done. But he’s a corpse if you don’t have loyalty.”
“The sea was so bad that I wouldn’t have been able to come even if I tried.”
Daisy was right.
At that time, Poseidon was very sensitive. The reason Elodie was able to get here was because she knew Poseidon.
Poseidon is being used by Frondia, but he still thinks Frondia is on his side.
On the other hand, Aster threw a spear and wounded Poseidon’s cheek, and Ludovic is the one who carried Aster. It is best for both of them to never be noticed by Poseidon.
“I see. God is coming.”
Daisy sighed and looked up. The other zodiacs had similar expressions.
The sight was so strange that Elodie asked absentmindedly:
“···Do you believe me?”
“huh?”
“I thought you wouldn’t trust me”
Daisy laughed bitterly at Elodie’s words.
“Elodie, do you know what the Empire was like after you and Frondia left?”
“···well·”
“It was a mess.”
Daisy sighed deeply.
“The crime rate is rising like never before, the monsters that were once fearful are coming back to life and storming the walls, and people’s anxiety is increasing. Especially Ludovic, that guy was the biggest problem.”
“···ah·”
I heard it from Frontier.
Ludovic is said to be suffering from extreme guilt.
The only concern that Frondia had was that he had chosen to leave so that the empire could remain without any problems. Frondia spoke as if even that was his fault.
“Is Ludovic healthy? Was he the Zodiac you knew?”
“···That’s what it looked like to me·”
“okay·”
Daisy’s eyes softened.
“Okay then”
Elodie understood a lot the moment she saw Daisy’s expression.
That’s a face that Elodie herself has made.
“If Ludovic is back to normal, then it’s clear what’s right.”
“···! You can’t just say it that simply!”
One of the zodiacs who was listening to that opened his mouth in a strong tone.
“We still have not cleared our suspicions that Frondiar is a demon! Unless there is proof that he is not a demon…!”
“That’s right! If Frondia is a demon, then I can’t believe anything you say, even though you were his comrade!”
Another zodiac joins him, and the palace becomes noisy.
Emperor Terst and Empress Fili were deeply moved by the sight.
Even in this situation, the confusion does not stop?
‘Is there really any concrete evidence that will stop this chaos?’
Phil’s head starts to hurt.
But at that time
“···still,”
A pure white voice flying in the midst of the noise
“Do we still have to fight each other?”
The words are not loud, so listen carefully and let them sink into your heart.
Everyone saw her
Aten Terst·
She alone, as always, stands in this gloomy place, pure white.
“Mr. Osprey”
“···Yes, lowly·”
Osprey bows deeply.
“At the scene of the incident where Mr. Atjie died, you told me that you had entrusted Mr. Atjie with a request.”
Osprey opens his eyes wide and answers immediately.
“Yes, that’s right.”
Those who gathered at the scene where Atjie’s body was located at Frontier’s request.
There was Aten, one of the three empresses, and Ospreet, the chancellor.
Ospreet spoke as if recalling memories of Atjie at the time.
─I asked you to stop the division of the Zodiac. Now, I can’t do that.
Osprey, who sang with deep sighs and sorrow,
Osprey’s eyes drooped as he remembered that time.
“···split····”
Someone said quietly:
Osprey was concerned that the Zodiac’s split would occur at any moment.
Atjie also accepted the request knowing the concerns.
“He definitely said he would do that.”
Ospreet said in a sad voice:
Aten looked at the face for a moment.
Then he said,
“Do you know Ampere, the father of Atzier?”
“···? Of course·”
“He never allowed a monster to invade, so they called him ‘Iron Wall’. Maybe it’s because he resembles that personality, but Atjie is the same. I heard that he has never failed a request since becoming a pro.”
Atji’s pro ranking is not high.
It hasn’t been long since I became a pro and I haven’t received many requests.
He only takes on assignments that he can handle.
“I am·”
Aten says:
“I think it will be the same this time too.”
With pure white eyes
As if she believed that everyone’s eyes were the same as her own.
“I have no doubt that he accomplished the task.”
“···!”
The eyes of all the zodiacs changed.
Atji died. It is now a well-known fact that it was the work of God.
What does this mean?
Considering his character and talent, Atjie, who deserved to be loved by God, died by God.
What we need to know
What did you learn?
“Do we still have to fight each other?”
“······”
“Haven’t there been people who have waited too long for us to get on the right path?”
Everyone was silent at that. Some avoided eye contact and lowered their heads.
Aten took a deep breath.
No one knows how deep that breath is.
“Mr. Frontier left to rescue Mr. Atjie.”
“···You said you left to rescue them?”
“Yes, I went to the world of gods to retrieve Atjie’s soul.”
Everyone was in an uproar at Aten’s words. Was it possible to revive Atjie, who was already dead in their eyes?
The answer came straight away.
“···It’s reckless, it’s ridiculous, it’s like walking on limbs!”
Someone shouted
Aten slowly closed his eyes and opened them again.
Nodded·
“you’re right·”
“···ah····”
“Frondier walked to Saji· To save Atjie· To save Atjie whom the gods themselves killed· So the gods tried to attack humans·”
“···? Why does God attack humans?”
Osprey frowned and asked back:
“Do you really not know why?”
God wants to attack humans.
Then you can stop the frontier.
Because when a human is attacked,
“Frondeer will try to save you.”
“······”
“That’s the reason.”
Everyone opened their mouths in amazement.
Some people believe all of this, others don’t.
However, it is impossible to dismiss Osprey’s remarks as nonsense.
“···nice·”
And this time, the man who had never opened his mouth before raised the corners of his mouth.
“We too have become worn out.”
Leadwi Urfa·
He saw Osprey
It seems like I’ve finally gotten over that time when I was drunk and passed out.
No, the current Leadwi Urfa did not just come back.
he is·
“Isn’t it funny how you lie there sucking your thumb in that girl’s arms?”
Reedwi is smiling.
But those eyes are filled with murder and anger.
The anger is clearly due to not being able to forgive oneself.
“yes·”
Osprey agrees with him, and so does he.
“It’s so funny.”
His deep patience was now at its limit. He had seen all the sights of the Frontier, so he was even more so.
Beside them, Daisy Foster watched them quietly.
Two sorcerers who are considered the best in the empire. These two are old and have shared much of the empire’s history.
Daisy chuckled. She felt strange and asked Reedwi.
“You want to fight God? You’ll lose your divine powers. Then you can’t become a Zodiac?”
I’m talking as if I’m joking, but
Daisy herself already has the same expression as Reedwi.
“What’s wrong with that?”
The leader growled.
“When we fought the monsters, did we fight while worrying about things like the zodiac?”
“No, that’s not true.”
Daisy answers, as if waiting for those words.
“We can’t be the zodiac. No, we’re not the zodiac.”
Monty said
“Were we originally the Zodiac?”
“No, we,”
At that moment,
A single word that is answered thoughtlessly by people who don’t even know how many people there are.
“We are guard dogs.”
At that time, the entire Zodiac’s eyes had already changed.
I will devour everything that invades the empire.
With that in mind, he trampled on demons and built a wall to protect the empire.
Did you forget it?
Have you become a scared puppy with its tail waddling since you’ve been enjoying some peace?
No, that can’t be possible.
What are you afraid of?
Why are we here!
“Please save me”
Aten’s short voice·
“We do what we have to do.”
The confusion has subsided.
The blades that each of them had hidden for a long time are slowly revealing themselves.
And that sight·
‘····’
Elodie took it in with both eyes.
─Who will repay you?
─I can’t accept sacrifices that are not rewarded.
─What did you get? What did you get for doing that?
─Being branded a demon and banished from the Empire? Having to hide in Palma while wearing a mask? Living under the threat of both gods and demons? Is that the reward you get?
‘···yet·’
Elodie held back with all her might.
So many things
‘don’t cry·’
Nothing is okay yet
Not one·
