Chapter 237 The Predator’s Way (1)
Chris’ behavior.
It was disrespectful.
This is the territory of the Empire.
In a situation where the emperor of the Valhalla Empire dared to look down, Chris first paid his respects to Roman Dmitri.
The atmosphere was chilly and frozen.
Even the people who had been cheering for Chris’ performance until just now kept their mouths shut while watching the Emperor of Valhalla.
at that time.
Roman Dmitry raised his hand.
Seeing Chris accept his loyalty, Chris finally shifted his gaze to the emperor.
I might get down on my knees
He didn’t even offer his sword.
got cocky
The faces of the high-ranking nobles who sat in the high table with the emperor were red, but they could not say anything until the emperor stepped forward.
Valhalla was the same as Cronus.
In this country, where the emperor wields unlimited power, he could not raise his voice recklessly in front of the emperor.
“Did you say your name was Chris?”
Finally.
The emperor opened his mouth.
If Emperor Cronus was violent and had a dry feeling, the Emperor of Valhalla spoke in a very languid voice, not befitting the reputation of ‘the country of warriors’.
The exterior was also very ugly. As if he hadn’t undergone any special physical training, his body was dry and his sunken eyes seemed to be covered in darkness.
“Yes, my name is Chris.”
“amazing. It’s not easy for a stranger from a foreign country to win on the eve stage, but to actively slash the warriors’ throats and remain as the final winner. I also expected a boring game where we looked at each other, but thanks to that, I watched the stage with excitement.”
“thank you.”
“It’s even something to be thankful for.”
The Valhalla Emperor grinned.
It was a strange feeling of madness.
Even though he didn’t show any special words and actions, the emperor of Valhalla gave off an atmosphere that made people nervous.
“by the way. Why did you just pay courtesy to Roman Dmitri in the first place? Ah, I don’t mean to reprimand you. I have no intention of enforcing the laws of the empire to people in other countries. just curious Even in front of me, people who act like you aren’t that common.”
It was a bit frivolous.
Chris said in a weightless, excited voice.
“… Because it is a stage for my lord. Just as the warriors of Valhalla gave their lives on the eve of the Emperor’s Majesty, I also risked my life for my lord. There is no other reason.”
“Hoo.”
The Emperor of Valhalla admired.
A little heat rose in his gaze as he looked at Chris.
“His outstanding skills at a young age and his blind loyalty towards his lord. He’s a really good talent. Valhalla is a country that treats talented people since ancient times. People say that this country doesn’t welcome ‘outsiders’, but in fact, it’s a rumor specifically targeting ‘outsiders without ability’. Valhalla can do anything to recruit talent like you. Money, money, honor, honor, women, women. Valhalla is truly a paradise for those with talent.”
The laughter deepened.
I didn’t ask for any more responsibility for my attitude, but the story flowed strangely.
“how is it? If you swear allegiance to me here, I’ll give you a reward that overwhelms whatever Dmitri promises you on the eve.”
The words of the Emperor of Valhalla.
that too.
completely crossed the line.
* * *
Swallowing moans could be heard from all directions.
In front of the country’s successor.
The statement that he would openly recruit his person was an act that went far beyond politeness to the extent that Chris’ behavior seemed to be nothing.
Unexpected sudden action.
If he hadn’t known what kind of person the Emperor of Valhalla was, Chris would have reacted with a bit of embarrassment at the situation that was facing him.
Emperor of Valhalla.
As the 14th son of the former emperor who gave birth to as many as 23 sons, he was a cruel figure who ascended to the position of emperor even ending the life of his youngest son in a bloody battle with his brothers.
a day in the dark
A bloody wind blew in the imperial family.
With the blood dripping sword, the Emperor of Valhalla killed all bloodlines of the imperial family except himself.
people said
Cronus’s only opponent is Valhalla.
Even knowing that fact, the reason why they couldn’t actively accept Valhalla was because of the mad rumors about the emperor of Valhalla, apart from their closed culture.
I just think it’s the worst because Cronus revealed his ambition to conquer the continent.
I couldn’t say that Valhalla, the lesser evil, was a good option.
Unlike Cronus, there were not many cases of invading the borders of other countries, so many people who did not know the situation of Valhalla fell into the illusion that it was a country of warriors and thought the Valhalla Empire unconditionally good.
the reality of evil.
It was more extreme than I thought.
In the world of the weak and the weak, where the strong dominate everything, the top was occupied by an abnormal person.
“Choose Chris.”
Even so.
People agreed that the Emperor of Valhalla’s offer was attractive.
His choice meant a rise in status.
It is a fact that everyone acknowledges that the Emperor of Valhalla was a cruel person, but the reason he was able to achieve his current power was because he thoroughly rewarded him according to his ability.
It is not a lie to say that heaven is for those who have the ability.
The reason why talent from the continent flows into Valhalla through the ranking system is that some few experience a daily life like a paradise in Valhalla.
conservatives and liberals.
The emperor followed the middle path.
At times, both sides raised their hands, but what is certain is that both forces were composed of talented people suitable for the empire.
The gaze was focused.
Everyone is.
I’m sure of Chris’ answer.
No matter what country Valhalla was, there was no reason for a being chosen by the emperor to refuse naturalization to Valhalla.
moment of acceptance.
Heaven will unfold.
Valhalla was a country where the winner takes all.
however.
Chris’ answer was different from what I expected.
“… I’m sorry, but I’ll decline.”
“Why?”
“I would not have grown as I am now if it were not for the teachings of my lord. blast furnace. The value the Emperor desires belongs to the lord, not to me. I cannot accept Your Majesty’s offer, as I only express my presence with Dmitri’s sword.”
chris.
The priority value for him was pure aspiration.
desire for strength.
Whatever Valhalla offered, he did not think it would make him stronger than Roman Dmitri.
And Roman Dmitry. It was an existence that made the subordinates under his command valuable.
The benefits and treatment received by his subordinates in Dmitri gave him unshakable faith in the name of Valhalla.
Chris’ answer was appropriate.
Despite politely refusing, the Emperor of Valhalla turned to Roman Dmitri for an answer that made his lord’s name shine.
It was fun.
The Emperor of Valhalla felt a strange sense of kinship with Roman Dmitri, who accepted Chris’ answer as if it were natural.
“I can’t help it if you say it that way. The eve stage will end with this. And to Chris, the winner, I will give you so much wealth that you will never be able to use it all in your life!”
Emperor’s cry.
The reward for the winner was certain.
At his cry, which excluded all minor emotions, the people of Valhalla shook off their tension and let out enthusiastic cheers.
this country
It was Valhalla.
* * *
The eve is over.
The time when everyone went back to their lodgings for tomorrow’s festival.
shit.
Viscount Jonathan’s head jerked.
The Marquis of Belfir vomited his anger at him with a very hot face.
“Such a fucking bastard. Your guy made it clear. There is no doubt about Gonzalez’s victory on stages other than rankers. But what are these results? A stranger from another country won the championship. And after boasting that I would deal with Roman Dmitri’s subordinates in front of everyone, I ended up degenerating into an incompetent being spouting nonsense in front of His Majesty the Emperor.”
“I’m sorry… Kuck!”
shit.
“shut up.”
blew his cheeks once again
last encounter.
At that time, the conversation proceeded in a more static atmosphere than now, but the situation was different in front of the result of failure.
Emperor of Valhalla.
He was thoroughly performance-oriented.
As the Marquis of Belfir, who led this plan, he could not avoid the responsibility.
“How much the conservative guys loved Chris as soon as he won. If we repeat today’s failure, His Majesty the Emperor will support the conservatives, not us. That is an unacceptable result. Valhalla’s future cannot be satisfied with repeating the savage history of the southern jungles.”
Current Valhalla is on the borderline.
Are you moving towards a new future?
Or should I just walk in place, talking about tradition?
Recently, the Marquis of Belfir has been drawing a cooperative relationship with the ‘Cronos Empire’, but the Emperor of Valhalla was such a person who could change his mind at any time.
That’s why they need results to prove that their advice is right.
If the defeat was repeated, there was no choice but to stimulate the emperor’s planting.
Valhalla was a unique country in many ways.
Even though the emperor possessed absolute power, the specific future of the country he thought did not exist.
Violence continued.
When the Marquis Belfir, who had been beating him for a long time, caught his breath, Viscount Jonathan hurriedly corrected his posture.
Get down on your knees.
said in a desperate voice.
“Marquis. Please give me one chance. I will somehow set the stage for Roman Dmitri to lose.”
It was the last chance.
The moment you get out of sight.
You can’t survive in Valhalla.
For those accustomed to failure, Valhalla is not a very friendly world.
“No, you don’t have to move.”
chilly voice.
The Marquis of Belfir was wiping the blood from his hand with a handkerchief, recalling the report he had just received.
“Barbossa moved in earnest. So you might as well wish him success. If even Barbossa fails. I guarantee you that you cannot survive in the realm of responsibility.”
the day before the festival.
There was still a chance to turn the tables.
* * *
Immediately after returning to the accommodation.
Roman Dmitry took a break.
Knowing that he usually enjoys hot tea, the servants served him something simple to eat and drink.
however.
One of the servants carrying the refreshments said in a cryptic voice.
“Don’t eat anything.”
Moment.
Roman Dmitry looked at the servant.
The servant said urgently to Roman Dmitri while the other servants went to get other things.
“Barbossa moved. I don’t know exactly what tricks he played, but from now on you need to be careful about everything you eat and drink. keep in mind Barbossa’s opponents always fell helpless to the unseen male and female. But don’t even raise your voice to prove ‘his sex’. Right now tomorrow is the festival stage. Even if there is poison in it, while you try to prove it, Barbossa will make you a coward who avoids the festival stage and finish the situation.”
I looked into my eyes.
Circumstances where the servants did not arrive.
he added.
“I am the one who admired Morales. We are ‘a force of one’ and I hope that you and others will not be crushed by cowardly tricks. We will not force you to trust us. However, if you are careful about everything in Valhalla, you can at least deal with Barbossa fairly.”
It was a heartfelt voice.
It had nothing to do with political power.
Following the tradition of Valhalla, he heard what kind of person Roman Dmitri was through Sanchez.
He was a being worthy of respect regardless of his nationality.
It seemed that he could not accept the fact that he was a member of Valhalla.
so.
moved people
I found out that Barbossa is moving today through people with similar thoughts.
His role is over.
At least to provide a platform for Roman Dmitri to face off squarely.
At the sight of the servants entering the room, the servant changed his expression and tried to leave.
That moment.
The servant’s expression was stained with shock.
“… ?!”
Roman Dmitry.
I was drinking tea as if to show off to everyone.
