The Demon Prince goes to the Academy - Chapter 494

Chapter 494

In the end, the snow on the roof had to be cleared.

Looking at the threateningly thick snow on the roof, I thought that I might die from being crushed by the collapsing roof, just like Luna said, so I couldn’t sleep like this.

I never imagined that I would live and live on the roof and see a scene of heavy snowfall that would require me to clear the snow.

According to Luna, it wasn’t just a saying, it seemed that the roof collapsed quite often when there was really heavy snow like this.

It was a very bizarre task to clear the snow from the roof, so it wasn’t just the right level, but the snow that was up to the person’s waist.

It was a job to cut the snow with a shovel and scoop it out one shovel at a time.

I have to push the snow down the roof, so if I feel like I can push it to some extent, I push the snowdrift down the roof.

– Excellent water

There was also a terrifying sound that made me wonder if this was the sound of falling snow.

After cleaning it up, I thought I could understand why the roof collapses when there is a lot of snow in winter.

In the end, I couldn’t even rest and had to clear my eyes until the sun went down.

It wasn’t just me, but other residents as well. If the roads of the village were blocked, they could not move, so they had to keep clearing them.

Still, when the snow removal on the roof now leaves only one last pile.

“Suck!”

It’s scary to push the thick piles of snow down the roof.

– Excellent sorghum!

“Lineha… … !”

I looked down at the roof to see if something was wrong down there, and saw Luna looking up with a bewildered expression, having been hit by the snowdrift.

“ah… … . that’s it… … .”

-Taktak!

Luna, who was bombarded with snow, brushed her hair and shoulders, narrowed her eyes, and let out a sigh.

“… … Have dinner.”

just now.

I was a little scared because I thought it would be true.

* * *

Just as I wanted, dinner was thinly toasted bread in meat soup with wild wild grass and meat.

I was getting used to the harsh but warm meals of the mountain village.

“I don’t know when the snow will stop.”

At Luna’s words, Ronan nodded.

Until the snow stopped and melted, all of Lizaira’s work would be limited to work that could only be done within the house or within the village.

-During

the meal, I heard a knock on the door, and when I went out, Lena was standing there holding a pot.

“Oh Reinhardt. Grandma told me to bring this.”

“Tell me thank you, Lena.”

“Your auntie!”

Since the village lived almost like a community, it was common to make and share dinner. There were quite a few times when Luna also told me to take the extra to another house if I made a lot of food, so I went around quite a bit myself.

Sometimes Lena or Arta sat together at the dinner table, and many times I was invited to Lena or Arta’s house.

It was an apple pie in the pot Lena handed over.

There have been times when the dinner menu has grown to an unmanageable extent.

The word neighbor, which had become a very foreign concept to me, was still alive in Lizaira.

Naturally, we ate dinner with one additional dinner menu added.

Having been in Lizaira for a long time, I had no choice but to run into people other than Lena, Arta Ronan, and Luna quite often.

Like Arta’s older brother, Dalan.

Or Lena’s younger sisters.

their parents and grandparents and so on.

If it weren’t for those two, he knew almost everyone in Lizaira.

It wasn’t a very crowded neighborhood, so it wasn’t difficult to memorize the name.

Always too many numbers. too many names.

There were too many names of vassals, so I couldn’t memorize them, but everything about Lizaira was too few.

It dawned on me that the old adage of knowing how many spoons my neighbor has is not a bad idea in this environment.

A town with too few people to control, resources to manage, and situations to encounter.

Some may dislike the sight of being too close to their neighbors.

Having lived under a long compulsion to memorize and know, weighed down by so many numbers and people, this time spent in Lizaira felt like the last vacation.

But I was still aware of some oddities.

There are quite a few elderly people in Lizaira.

These are the people who have lived in the village for generations, so there are inevitably large families.

Lizaira doesn’t seem to particularly reject outsiders, so it’s only now that the Gate incident has broken out, and although it’s isolated, it doesn’t seem to be such a village in the first place. If that were the case, the village would have perished long ago.

But the question is something else.

Arta and Lena had grandparents, as well as quite a few siblings.

It is a big family.

But the leader of this Lizaira.

There were only two of Luna Artorius and his wife.

There are neither Luna’s parents nor Ronan’s parents. Lagann is dead and Ellen is outside.

But even if there is, I don’t know why they are the only nuclear families.

Does this have some reason?

“How is the work going?”

It was Ronan’s question.

“ah… … . I think we will have to see the snow melt, but if we keep going like this, it will be over before the winter is over.”

“I see.”

It was winter, so it was difficult, but it was also true that the speed of work gradually increased. All of this can be done before spring arrives.

If that happens, I don’t know what will happen.

I had a feeling that I didn’t want to leave Lizaira, but it was true that I had to.

I hope to achieve something by the time winter passes.

That’s what Luna did when she just arrived in Lizaira.

Just because I became a handful stronger here, wouldn’t it make a huge difference?

I agree with what Luna said.

I haven’t reached the master class yet, but if I do, will I be able to deal with the monster that appears at the end?

However, I couldn’t stay still, and I was spending such a long time in Lizaira because I didn’t know if the stage I hadn’t reached yet might give me new possibilities.

Even if you do reach a master class, your chances are slim.

Then, in the end, what I can use is to lean on the holy relic.

I now know something about the hidden powers of the Hallows.

Tiamata allows you to use powerful divine power. Therefore, the power of recovery and the power of destruction can be used at the same time.

Ellen’s rament has the power to cut through anything.

Alsbringer is the strongest holy object that can summon the power of the gods, but it takes lives in return.

I don’t know how Rapelt’s true power is.

Tiamata’s keyword is anger.

The keyword of Lament is sadness.

Alsbringer’s keyword is sacrifice.

Rappelt’s keyword is hatred.

If the chances of me surviving even by reaching the master class are slim.

Maybe I should arrange something different.

“I have something I want to ask you two.”

At my words, both Luna and Ronan look at me.

“Tell me.”

“Ask me.”

If the clue is in the relic.

“Do you know where the Holy Spear Alixion is?”

I know the shape because I saw it in the book.

The last relic in the form of a spear.

The holy relic of Ritter, the god of courage.

Where is Alixion and what is its true power?

Both of them seemed to know that.

As for Alixion, when I was looking for information on the holy relics including Tiamata, I only skimmed through it, but I didn’t really know anything.

It’s just that it’s a sacred object in the form of a spear.

Of course, just because it’s in my hand, I don’t know how well I can use it since I’ve only handled a sword.

But wouldn’t the true power of the sacred object be able to give me one chance at a time?

The answer to my question was simple.

“I do not know.”

In response to Ronan’s answer, Luna shook her head as if she was the same.

I wonder if the fact that Ilwoldang kept the lapelt was related to its name?

However, the words ‘I don’t know’ of the two seemed to be a little different from just saying that I didn’t know.

Luna said while carefully eating a spoonful of the meat soup.

“To be precise, no one can find Alixion.”

“then… … . Does it not exist in the world?”

“no.”

Luna shakes her head.

It was Ronan, not Luna, who answered.

“Alyxion is a visiting holy object.”

“You’re coming?”

“okay. Come to those who need it. That is why, even in its long history, Alixion has rarely appeared in the world.”

The concept of coming, not seeking.

It felt pretty strange.

And the story of the holy relic, which can be said to be one of the most important things in the world, is coming and going in a snowy mountain village.

“If you need me, I will come to you… … . Are you saying that Alixion will appear before me if I need it?”

“Then, anyone in the world would have been able to use Alixion. Alixion does not answer ordinary wishes.”

“That unusual wish… … . What is it?”

Luna accepts Ronan’s words.

“It’s a holy relic of Ritter. What do you need?”

ah.

“courage… … . Are you?”

“yes.”

Since it is the god of courage, does it mean that it is a sacred object that appears in response to the wishes of those who have courage?

be courageous

Isn’t that what you’re looking for?

Actually, the person who almost killed me came to me and asked me to do something.

Aren’t you qualified to be Alixion’s master?

I may be conceited, but I certainly think so.

When I seem to have a puzzled expression, Luna looks at me with a hard expression.

“What do you think is the most important thing about Reinhardt’s courage?”

“… … yes?”

I didn’t understand Luna’s words for a moment.

“The most important thing in courage is… … . What else do you have besides courage? bravery? confidence? what… … . Is it like that?”

When I didn’t seem to understand, Luna shook her head.

“Let’s say you have a terrifying enemy. For example, let’s say there is a dragon in the other world you mentioned. A fearsome foe you will never be able to face in a normal way.”

“… … yes.”

“Let’s say you’re going to do something about it and you’re blocking it. Even though you know you can’t deal with it. Imagine fighting against it with the mindset that somehow it will work out.”

“… … yes.”

“Do you think that is courage?”

If that’s not courage, what is it?

I was about to say that, but I held back because Luna seemed to have something to say.

It was Ronan, not Luna, who continued talking.

“That kind of thing is called bravery, not courage.”

At that, I was speechless.

“What does it take for bravery to become courageous?”

Luna quietly stares into my eyes.

bravery and courage.

the difference.

I think about the difference between the two concepts that I have never seriously thought about.

Bravery and courage are, strictly speaking, very similar words. Because the concept of trying to fight against or confront something is the same.

However, arrogance is basically a word that includes stupidity.

why are you stupid

It is foolish because it believes that it can stand against an unmatchable opponent and is arrogant.

What is the difference between courage and courage?

If Man-yong loses stupidity, it will become courage.

Desperation from which conceit and stupidity have been removed.

The bravery of those who are wise and have a good understanding of their dragon power.

“… … .”

Despite the fact that it cannot be countered, it is confronted despite knowing that it is difficult.

In other words, if the basis of courage is to confront the opponent even though you understand it properly.

I couldn’t help but realize what the most important thing in courage is.

“fear… … . That’s it.”

“okay.”

It is not bravery or pride fighting that makes courage into courage.

knowing the opponent.

to be afraid of opponents.

confronting nonetheless.

That was the condition of true courage.
