Volume 1 Expulsion and Situation Confirmation

Chapter 3 – Status

[TL: By Mr Max]◇[PR:By ACE]

I have no choice but to die.

　There is no other way.

　I can only think that.

　-Even if it is.

“I haven’t decided to give up completely …”

　I was left behind somewhere in Makyo, Purgatory Forest, and while I was at a loss, I suddenly returned to myself and muttered.

　It is a human.

　I thought that if I muttered such a thing in such a forest, a monster with a good ear would hear me, as I couldn’t keep my mental balance in check unless I speak something.

　After all, I was left alone in a super-dangerous zone where dangerous monsters who can even give a well trained army a cold feet are present.

　I can’t think of anything other than that I’m dead.

　But I don’t want to die.

　Then I have to do my best to decide what to do in order to not die …

　…… First of all, checking my luggage.

　Speaking of which, he said that he left the food, and as the word says, there is a cloth bag of a certain size in the empty place where the carriage left.

　It’s about half the size of my body.

　A fourteen-year-old boy’s half-sized bag … it’s not that big, but it’s certainly big enough to hold a few days’ worth of food.

　When I actually check the inside …

“Dried meat, salt, bread … well, are there any vegetables or fruits … oh, only one apple … well, I wonder if this is all because it won’t last long. Others are all preserved foods … there isn’t much water. Do you want to say that I should procure locally? In this forest? You’re joking right … “

　To be honest, water is my lifeline.

　I wanted it to take precedence over other things.

　If I don’t find a water source today tomorrow, I’ll surely die.

　There is only that much.

　Food is … for a few days you can survive without it, but if you have water, you can live for about a week.

　Preserved food is really the wisdom of our predecessors.

　The salt contained in the rock salt is of a reasonable size, so if I hunt for prey myself, I can live without getting tired of the taste … I am hunting for prey in the first place?

　To some extent, I’ve done hunting rabbits in managed forests with human hands, but more than that … I haven’t even experienced fighting monsters yet.

　I learned swordsmanship to the extent that I could feel a good response in interpersonal battles, but I have only a skill that is hard to say at as trained .

　Thinking so far, I remember.

“That’s right, the card was … oh, there was.”

　When I touched the clothes, I found it in the right pocket of the linen trousers.

　It was taken away once when I was kicked out, so I thought it might not have come back, but as I expected, my father wouldn’t do that much.

　I mean, it’s already optimized for me, so it’s useless if someone else has it, or it’s just about the cost of the material.

　It’s still expensive for a commoner , but for the Duke’s family, it’s a scrap.

　It’s a silver material … so-calledMagic silverMithrilIt was a card made of a material called “status card”, which was generally called “status card”.

　It is a collection of advanced magic techniques, so-called <<God’s brainAkashic RecordsThere have been various explanations about the function of displaying various information that the person does not know by connecting to >>, but honestly, I do not know the exact point.

　I mean, I didn’t really understand the mage who explained it to me.

　This is because it was originally an ancient technology, and it was only used to make it possible to use its functions in a limited way.

　It can be said that the analysis has not been completed, and the explanation of the mage may be significantly wrong.

　So you don’t have to worry about it.

　However, the reason I was looking for this is that it gives me very important information for me now.

　I try to pour magical power into the status card.

　Then, the characters began to appear vaguely there.

　This was written there.

　Name: Noah

　Race:Ordinary peopleHuman

　Title: Former Prince of the Duke of Olipiage, Apostate “Astral”, Person with a mission

　Root Skill: 《Sacred King》

　Derivative skills: None

　General skills: 《Swordsmanship 3》, 《Wind Attribute Magic 2》, 《Fire Attribute Magic 2》 ……

“… It’s changed so much … No, what’s this. << The one who bears the mission >>? It wasn’t there before such a baptism …”

　I wonder and try to push that part.

　This is because the card has a function that when you press an item, the details of that part appear to some extent in the form of a description.

　Who is explaining it isGod’s brainAkashic Records》 Is it doing itself … I don’t believe it because I doubt if it’s such a kind person.

　Then who?

　To be honest, I don’t know, but it’s an ancient technology. Isn’t there anything? I also sometimes think about it.

　However, unfortunately, no matter how much I pressed the “Missionable” part, there was no reaction.

　It seems that this is the case when it is impossible to explain any more.

　In particular, the title part is common, and the reason is explained that the gods may not be interested in the titles given by humans in Ichii.

　If so, I really want you to be indifferent to my Apostasy, but when I sigh and push it,

“Apostate: Apostate. For Noah, possession of the Holy King was the cause … Damn, f***!”

[ONLY READ AT nightowlwalker.wordpress.com]

　It was written that way.

　Yes, it’s all from there.

　It all started when I was baptized and given the root skill “Holy King”.

[TL: Holy king = Sacred King]

　Because of that, I was left behind in a place like this.

“… But now I can’t help saying that … I’m looking for a water for the time being … If I can do that, well … I’ll think about various things later …”

　While muttering to myself, I proceed toward the forest, where I can feel the slight smell of water.

Survival strategy for weak territories! ~ My territory will be destroyed no matter how many times it is repeated. How can this be saved? ~

Chapter 1.5 Survival Strategy

Behind the scenes of the second engagement drama

[TL: By Mr Max]◇[PR: By ACE]

[TL:This is our quick Chapter close to MTL fully edited Chapter will be shown on our new site N.O.W Translations]

“Oh, that’s good. That’s pretty much it.”

　There are no special products in Asgard territory.

　However, it is a key point of transportation.

　Although it is a gateway connecting the eastern part of the kingdom and the center, I earned from tolls.

　It’s not that big.

　I wanted to get some money to prepare for the attack on the Marquis of Laguna.

“But don’t take the plunge again, Mr. Klein.”

“Isn’t it okay because the marriage is organized?”

　Of course, a new industry is needed.

　What Klein wants most right now is the Yotun familyfield・That’s right.

“Kukuku … There are signs of a cold summer this year. We will grow the cold-weather seeds we purchase from the north at our parents’ home and sell them at a high price.”

　The Yotun territory, which is in the process of marriage, has the highest food production in the country. It is a major production area that supports the food of the kingdom.

　It has a vast breadbasket.

　It was a very rich territory where various vegetables and livestock were grown on a large scale.

“Haha … hurrying to get married to rent a field. I’m sure the predecessor will be surprised by that.”

“Not only that … well, if you grow a lot of crops that are resistant to cold damage, you can definitely sell them.”

　Klein says this year will be a cool summerI know・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・..

　In the fall, the crops are poor and there is a shortage of food.

　However, Asgard territory tends to be mountainous, so it is not suitable for mass production of food.

　So I decided to rent a field and a farmhouse.

“I tried to proceed this discussion in parallel with the engagement discussion, but I’m glad you were willing to forgive me for that.”

　Because the price of food is soaring. Even Crane, who is not very familiar with business, will be able to make enough money.

(Only read at https://nightowlwalker.wordpress.com/)

　Instead of having the specified variety of crops produced.

　A contract has already been signed to pay the wages paid to the farmers from the Viscount family.

“But Crane-sama. The northern species have a bad taste … If the cold summer doesn’t come, it’s probably in the red, right?”

“It’s okay, believe me.”

　It costs a lot of money to buy food that has risen in price, so it is true that more homes will suffer from kitchen problems.

　How about selling it a little cheaper?

　In addition to selling food and making money, you can also sell your favor to the surrounding houses.

　Even if you sell it at a price that is not so different from the usual year, many homes will feel the benefit.

　I had such a plan.

“I asked Tom and his friends to buy it in April. No, I’m glad I didn’t waste it …. Is it about to come back?”

“That’s right.”

　In order to make it in time for this summer, he started buying seed potatoes before the marriage was established.

　If the marriage failed, it was a gambling with a large number of seedlings that had nowhere to go.

　But things have improved anyway.

　The butler was also concerned about the lord’s marriage partner, so one shoulder was unloaded.

　I feel that a bright future has come into view as Klein.

　So.

　They were laughing gently in the early summer sunshine.

　However, I was doing so.

“Klein-sama hah hah!”

　Captain of the Guard Hans flew in front of Crane in a hurry.

　I’ve been prostrating with a sliding momentum.

“Please note! I would like to report something!”

“What is it, you are so noisy about ?”

　The polite and noisy deacon looked sullen, but Hans wasn’t listening to the deacon’s quibble.

　In a hurry, he presents the letter he just received to Crane.

” the Count of Vanaut in the east has declared war on us!”

　The Vanaut family is a big man across several territories.

　Since it is the Count of the East, it is called the Count of the East.

“… What? Tohaku? What do you mean !?”

　But of course Klein now.

　Even Klein of the previous life has no acquaintance at all.

“Well, wait, wait, what’s the reason for the start of this war!”

　The Laguna family is still known because of the territorial turmoil.

　However, he has nothing to do with the Vanaut family.

　Why does that happen?

　Klein snatched the letter that the messenger had arrived from Hans’s hand and opened it randomly.

　What is the wording written there?

“It’s an insult to our family that a lower noble house is robbing the bride I was going to have a marriage with. The crime for this can only be paid by blood. WOULD YOU DARE TO PAY THE PRICE.”

　that was the content.

　This is a handwritten letter from the current head of the Count family.

“… Is this from the Vanaut family? Tohaku?”

“………… Yes, definitely”

　I read all the letters, but Klein’s head refused to understand.

　Count Vanaut is a man who will be 43 years old this year.

　Trying to add an eleven-year-old girl to his wife Three years・ ・It seems that he was doing his best for a heir .

　That’s what the letter emphasizes.

　Like a torrent Not・ ・ ・ ・It seems that a serious grudge was felt from the letters.

“Ah … I see?”

　A man about 40 years old at that time. Seriously fell for a seven or eight year old girl and wanted a heir from her.

[TL: Man that’s sucks even from my standards]

　It seems that he fell in love with the child .

　Klein’s head processes that information.

　It took a lot of time for a dozen seconds.

　In other words, behind this super-speed engagement drama. He want to get engaged with a man who is close to my age in order to protect her beloved daughter from the pedophile’s devil’s hands.

　Klein suspects that there was also such a purpose.

“Haha, hey”

　As a result, Tohaku, whose honour were crushed, became furious and turned his anger toward Asgard territory.

　I’ll show it to a weak aristocrat who has kidnapped the count’s prey from the side.

　It seems to be his flow of thought.

“Can anyone predict such a thing …”

　A few days after receiving the letter-notice of destruction.

　The Count’s army made a rage, despite the fact that there were several territories in between.

　The Yotun marched out of Asgard territory without time to respond by intervening or sending reinforcements.

　All the messengers sent by Klein are also ignored. The two armies faced each other across a river that flows to the east of Asgard territory.

　About 20,000 enemy troops have appeared.

　The Count family has a main force.

　The soldiers are showing unwavering movement without complaining even in such a battle.

　The Viscount army, on the other hand, is 3,000 people who have been drafted to the limit.

　Tohaku’s proud cavalry, which has made a name for itself in the battle with different ethnic groups in the east, runs around the battlefield endlessly.

　An amateur defense unit cannot compete with such an elite unit, and the Asgard territory will fall easily.

　Kingdom history June 5, 500.

　On this day, the territory of Asgard was destroyed by the wrath of Tohaku.

Volume 1 Expulsion and Situation. Chapter 2 Left behind

[TL: By Mr Max]◇[PR: BY ACE]

“… Stop the carriage !”

　I heard such a voice coming from the outside .

　Escorts … Theses voices belong to the knights of the Olipiage family.

　I had been kicked out of my house a few days ago and was being sent by carriage to “a far away place”.

　I asked him where I would be taken, but he didn’t tell me anything about that.

　In the case of my father, when he would be asked by the church later about my whereabouts , he would be able to say, “I don’t know his current location because I told them to throw that thing away properly,” and it’s best not to say where I would be thrown it even if he was demanded by the church to gave detailed instructions.

　After all, there are magicians and psychics present in the forces of the church.

　The place I would be thrown ton … It’s possible that no one will be able to reproduce it’s location in detail from the conversation that took place in the office of the father of the Olipiage family a few days ago.

　It is whispered among the escorts that there is noone who can do that.

　I asked the soldiers, but they just kept silent to me.

　It’s a little saddening that these escorts are the same people with whom we had a friendly conversation when I was at my parents’ house, but they also have a family to look for and being friendly with an apostate will always lead to doom, and in the first place they have to continue to serve the Olipiage family and continue to work for the duke house .

　In other words, after leaving me somewhere in the wilderness, they have the task of returning to that house and answering the tough interrogation from the Astral Church.

　Even in that case, it is easy to imagine that the church is will try to use various ways to get my location and even the mind-reading spell may be used to read their minds.

　I do wonder Is there even a person with such special abilities who can do such a thing like mind reading?

　I feel like there isn’t, but … I’m sure there has been record that it was used once.

　A dignitary’s child, who was declared to never be lost by the dignitary, was rescued by cross-examinating only one man.

They didn’t speak a single word.

　Thinking about that, the hood of the carriage opens.

　After all there is no choice but to be vigilant add after knowing of such tactics employed by the church.

　A familiar face could be seem from outside .

　Bach Rogue, the leader of the escorts of this carriage and the knight leader of the Knights of the Duke of Olipiage.

　He is also a teacher who taught me swordsmanship.

　A serious look was their on his stern face .

　For some reason, I used to have a pretty good relationship with him …

“… Noah. Get out.”

　He ordered me in a stern voice to get out of the carriage.

　It wasn’t the first time he had told me something in a commanding tone, so I didn’t get flustered or sacred .

　When I was practising swordsmanship, he always had a strict command tone because he believed in being strict with his students

　However, he never missed my honorifics at other times, and his calling of my name without any honorific shows how the situation has changed but it still feel unsettleing for the least

　I should have accepted the whole situation before.

　But more than what I believe I could be accept in this way … it feels sad, isn’t it?

　No, it may be perhaps feeling ofn emptiness and loss …

　By eviction from that house, the minimum safety of my parents and younger brothers is protected.

　I’m glad I made this necessary sacrifice.

　But I can’t go back anymore.

　It seems that something has been sentenced …

　I can’t go back into the light and warmth and live a life that makes me smile and feel safe .

　Moreover, from now on, I will be left somewhere in the wilderness.

　It’s like being told to die, it’s just that.

　I feel sad and it’s frustrating …

　When I was pulled out by Bach and went out of the hood, it was in a deep forest where there were almost no roads connecting this place to other anymore.

　Only the ruts of the carriage I got on and the horseshoe marks of the horses Bach and his friends got on were carved on the ground, but other than that, the surroundings were covered with moss and the roots of the trees were running around all over the place .

　Perhaps it was a road in the old days rather than a recent road, but it was abandoned long ago and maintained with beasts and less complimented professions like hunters .

　Probably it’s such a place.

　Or rather, do they intend to throw me away in such a place?

　At least I wasn’t sure if the place I was going was a village or something like that, but I wasn’t expecting it to be brought to a place that wasn’t really populated at all.

　I’ve heard that the exiled aristocrats are at risk of being beating in the presence of people, but if they endure it and work hard for a while, they will be recognized as members of the village.

　That’s why I had a single hope around that area of working hard and becoming a villager … but it was completely wrong.

　What should I do?

　What will happen?

　Bach explains as such an idea goes too far in my head.

“… This is the western part of the kingdom … Strictly speaking, it’s a place that doesn’t belong to the Kingdom of Oracle, commonly known as the Purgatory Forest. Noah, do you know about that ?”

“Well, Purgatory Forest !? Seriously … If you leave me in a place like this, so you wanted me to die …”

　I was really surprised to hear “Purgatory Forest”.

　Even though I was brought to an unpopular forest, I expected it to be a small forest far from the center and a little crowded land.

　However, this is the famous Makyo*.

[TL: demon beast dwelling or simply wilderness]

　There is no doubt that there are no people in Makyo, and it is a land that is out of the map of the kingdom, and it is true that it is a remote area.

　But the problem isn’t there.

　The bad news is that this is a land where powerful monsters live, and it has been certified over the years that this is a place where humans cannot live.

　There are only warriors and magicians who are powerful at the top level, and humans who were exiled due to some dire crimes and live in such places.

　And yet … I’m here! ??

　I thought it would be bad for me, so I stumbled upon Bach and others who started preparing for their return.

“Wait a minute! Will you brings me back to the front of some village a which is somewhere close to here

　But Bach mercilessly pulled me off and said

“… Noah. This is the instruction of the mansion. I can’t go against it. Give up your useless resistance.”

　I just signed heavily.

　The method of peeling off was not vicious, and it was redemption that I felt such kindness that I could tell not going to church was a grace , but in reality, there is no salvation and my only choice is death.

　Then Bach

“… I’ll leave a few days’ worth of food for you and a dagger. This is the farewell gift from me … Noah … Don’t give up. Survive. You don’t want this to be our last meeting … … don’t you? “

　With that said, he led the carriage and left far away towards home.

　I was at a loss for a while.

　Do I give up?

　When I chose not to give up in this situation … Isn’t it just extending my life and dying after some days?

　Only such a question was running around in my head.

Volume  1 Expulsion and Situation Confirmation

Episode 1 Expulsion

[TL: By Mr Max]◇[PR:By ACE]

[We have picked a Japanese novel to be translated by our Night Owl Walker Translation. 2 chapters will be released weekly, enjoy reading it.]

“… Noah Olipiage! You are hereby exiled from this house!”

　So this man standing here was my father, Seto Olipiage, the Duke of the Kingdom of Oracle, who shouted at me.

　I was his child … the eldest son of the Duke of Olipiage, and would normally take over this house in the future … that should have been the case if everything was normal.

　And yet, my dad sentenced me to be expelled from our house.

　From an objective point of view, this is a terrible story, and it can be said that there is almost no way to live once the aristocrats are evicted from their Nobel house in the Kingdom of Oracle.

　In this nation, aristocratic houses are so highly respected that they often receive what is called a blessing from the gods themselves, so being expelled from one’s own house is often a noble without a god’s blessing. This is because they are considered not capable or lucky enough to receive a blessing from God .

　I’ve even heard that some ex-nobles even die after being expelled … well, they are usually hated by the other nobles , and there are many other reasons. But….

　Anyway, even if there are no disturbances from your former house or other nobles, there are few ways to work to get food on the table from the start, and it is difficult for a former noble born in a life of luxury and commoner to live a life of a frugal commoner.

　That’s why there’s almost no eviction from the aristocratic family … but my dad still told me this .

　I’m trying to figure out what this order really means.

“Well, respected dad … if I do that, I’ll die! Please reconsider … give me a chance! What the hell wrong did I do !?”

　I try to speak in as if I’m desperate to save my life.

　There is no other way to do it.

All noble know that we can’t live without the support of our house , even if it’s unlikely this plea will work, but of there is even slight chance this will work.

　Like that I tried to plea .

　But my father says.

“… I was expecting much from you. I’m sure you were good at your studies and Nobel responsibilities from a young age …”

“So, then …”

“But you know. In this country, I can’t allow you to stay any longer at our house…….beacause you are named as an apostate by the Astral Church.”

[TL: Apostate means like heretic or traitor]

“……Well, that was……”

[ONLY READ AT https://nightowlwalker.wordpress.com/

　The other day, I was recognized as an “Apostate” by the Apostal Church, the state theology of this nation.

[TL: Theology= Religion]

　That was precisely what my father meant.

　Of course, I haven’t done anything wrong to be precise.

　The Astral Church has existed since the founding of the Kingdom of Oracle and is an institution that supports the kingship, but at the same time, it is a terrifying entity and is also known as an aggressive group that does not forgive any apostates.

　It is said that the armed forces that they have, such as the Order of the Holy Knights, It is said on the path from which they pass not even the grass will grow on it, and if they are sent to Noah’shouse, Olipiage which is a great aristocrat house which acts as the backbone of this country. Even the Duke’s family will not be safe from the holy order of the Astral Church.

　It is impossible for me to live at our house as the things stand, let alone to make me a successor to our house, who is the root cause that is almost certain to bring harm and downfall to my noble house.

　Somewhere in my heart I also know that too.

　I know … but that didn’t mean I could do anything else other than to complain to my dad.

　I’ve studied various subjects and trained a lot to become a Duke since I was little.

　They will surely be useful knowledge even if you go to somewhere else .

　However, even though I have received a high degree of education, I am just a mediocre person with average grades in every subject.

　My dad said he was excellent student , but in reality his grades we’re generally all mediocre.

　If I were a hero with the power of the century that excel in all areas , I might be able to manage to get rid of this house or get rid of the church’s army.

　But I know that there is no such power dwelling within me .

　So I want to stay here even if I cling to my dad’s leg for it.

　And I want my father to somehow convince the Astral Church and, at worst, put me in confinement which is better than being killed by them.

　I tried to express such a pitiful feeling, but anyone can understand that my father is not willing to do even that.

　However…….

“… I don’t mean it. But Noah. Think about me. I would be able to survive . But your mother Lean and your brother Zeldo …. I can’t let the whole clan be sacrificed to save an apostast from the Astral Church . I can’t protect all of them alone because you also know how terrible and powerful an organisation the church is … It seems ruthless, but if I should just expel you alone.

“… Father … No, I’m sorry. I … It was own fault …”

　Originally, I knew more about that more than anyone else .

　I just kneaded it a little bit until it was clearly spoken.

　In addition, this is also a necessary complaining .

　My father is not a bad person with this treatment .

　Rather, it was kind to me.

　The same is true for mothers and younger brothers.

　And yet, the reason I don’t have a mother and a younger brother here when such an important talk is going on is because they will definitely be taking my side.

　My father also knows that well.

　That’s why I’m probably trapped in this room.

　I didn’t want to blame him.

　I blame him … because it’s not fair.

　If they ask him, my father may choose a path that confronts the country, even if that means being cut off his from his own house.

　Because my father and I know that …

　In other words, it can be said that this discussion was a ritual whose ending al was already decided in the middle of the conversation.

　It was just a play to show the chamberlains and maidens watching a stupid son of a noble kneeling pleading to his father for his life.

　So to spread the words their mouths that the duke. completely stupid son have nothing to do with his house.

　It would be a good story if my father showed some kindness and, at the end, I showed a little extraordinary appearance of being grateful , as it would be easy for people to accept.

　At the end of such a series of performances, my dad declared to me once again.

　The voice was exhausted, but strong enough to reach the ears of all the people present in the room.

“Noah Olipiage … No, you’re just Noah from now on. Outside the house … there are wild territories, so as my mercy to someone who shares my own blood , I’ll send you to a place where there’s no danger … It’s the last gidy I can give you . You can also go anywhere . I’ll tell the church about that too. “

　In other words, I’m banished and I don’t know where I will go.

　He intends to insist on the church that what happens to me is irrelevant to the house.

　I hope he will at least show that much disobedience .

　That was enough for .

　As the church was such a terrifying existence .

　So I nodded, and said just one line ,

“… Thank you for your help.”

　I could say just that.

Dragon Maken War

Chapter 6 Azell Zestringer (6)

[TL:By Mr Max]◇[PR: By ACE]

‘He a weird person.’

The fact that he was still alive looking like that was amazing, but if one paid close attention, there were other strange things about him. His accent was weird. He sounded like he was from a far away place, and his inflection was a bit different. At times, he would use old-fashioned terminologies. Further, his reaction to spoken words were strangely slow as if he didn’t understand what was being said.

‘I don’t think his ear is wounded.’

Any ways, he was most definitely a practitioner of Spirit Order. He had a hard time believing it, while looking at his exterior, but he might be an expert who attained a relatively high mastery.

Giles asked his aide.

“How is he doing?”

“He hasn’t done anything out of the norm. After he ate, he went to rest. However, there was an unexpected occurrence.”

“What is it?”

“I was told he has rapidly changed after eating lunch and dinner. He used to be emaciated, but now he looks a bit scrawny.”

“What? Really?”

Yes. Everyone is gossiping about it. They think it’s some strange magic.”

“That is odd. Let’s go I should go meet him.”

“Should I go with you?”

“No, I’ll go by myself.”

After the conversation, Giles exited his office and he went towards the medical barracks, where Azell was staying.

“Army doctor Rick, it’s Centurion Giles. Do you mind if I enter?”

“Come in.”

After hearing Rick’s reply, Giles entered the barrack. However, unlike what he had expected, Rick didn’t greet him. He was distracted and he looking at the wrong place.

He followed the other’s gaze, and before he knew it, Giles’ eyes opened wide.

He saw the sight of Azell upside down with his shirt off. He was doing a handstand with one of his right fingers, while three small round stones were stacked beneath his finger. In this state, he was doing a pushup.

In a couple hours time, his body had unbelievably filled out, but his body didn’t show much muscle. Since he was so skinny before, his muscle tissues had died out.

It was shocking he was able to do this activity with that body. After reaching a certain level as a practitioner of Spirit Order, one develops superhuman strength and a sense of balance. Therefore, it wasn’t surprising to see him doing a push-up while doing a handstand with one finger. However, he had stacked 3 small round stones on top of each other, and a small shift in balance would make the stones slip. He had never thought about doing this.

‘I want to try it.’

When Giles came in, Azell stopped doing the push-ups, and he flicked the finger he was balanced on. This caused the 3 stones to scatter in different direction. His body turned in a circle and he was able to land his body lightly.

“Ooht-cha.”

[TL: the sound of exertion] Centurion Giles….. No, should I call you Sir Giles?”

After hearing Azell’s words, Giles was surprised again. Wasn’t he entirely different from his morning appearance? His voice was different, but his blue eyes and the burning red color of his hair was the same. If these physical attributes didn’t match then he wouldn’t have thought it was the same person.

Giles spoke, while hiding his unrest.

“Call me as you prefer. You aren’t my subordinate.”

“Then I will call you Sir Giles. It’s shorter.”

“That’s fine. Anyways, that’s a pretty fun workout technique.”

“I had a memory of training this way. My body is in a rough shape, so it’s difficult.”

Azell complained, while he looked at his body with discontent.

“How were you able to recover you body in couple hours?”

“I ate and drank a lot. If one provides what the body needs then the body recovers quickly.”

“It is hard for me to believe that is the only reason. When a person is weakened, one cannot accept a lot of food at one time. They would probably have to eat slowly and gradually recover their body?”

“Of course, one has to have enough digestive ability, and control over the state of one’s body. Sir Giles, you haven’t experienced an extreme situation like me, but if you did, wouldn’t you be able to do the same thing? Fundamentally, Spirit Order practitioners learn to control the rhythm of the heart. If so, wouldn’t you be able to control the circulation of the blood or your sleep state?”

Spirit order uses the pulsation of the heart as the source of power. Every time the heart pulses, it vibrates the spirit ring and the resonance causes the magical forces to move.

If one learned the Spirit Order then he will have a technique that’ll manipulate the beat of his heart. While standing still, if he wanted to, he could make his heart beat crazily fast or beat slow as if he is asleep.

Giles asked a question, while being amused.

“Do you mean to say you are able to extend the technique to manipulate your body to that degree?”

“Of course. If you can manipulate your heart’s rhythm then you should be able to manipulate every part of your body. Unlike regular people, as a Cord-rope master, you should be able to use this method to control your body.”

“You are right.”

Giles nodded his head.

Even though he accepted it, the transformation of Azell was miraculous. He couldn’t believe a human could change so drastically. Even if he was a practitioner of Spirit Order, wasn’t this simply too amazing?

It had been a long time since his heart beat rapidly. Giles looked directly into Azell’s eyes and spoke.

“Hmmm. Azell Zestringer, would you spar with me?”

From behind, they heard an intake of breath. Rick’s face stiffened.

‘Is he out of his mind? Just this morning, he was about to die and now a knight is requesting a spar?’

He only thought this. As a healing expert, it would be unforgivable for him to say this out loud.

However, Azell smiled.

“Sure. If I face off against another Spirit Order practitioner then it might help me regain my memories. However, my condition is a bit of a mess so I might not be able to be a proper sparring partner?

It’s been 220 years since the period he was active, and he was curious as to how much the knights had changed. In what ways did the Spirit Order and sword techniques improve? Also, he wanted to know what level of standards this period’s knights had?

Therefore, in Azell’s perspective, he wholeheartedly welcomed the sparring request by Giles.

“Of course, I’m not going to ask for an intense sparring session from someone who just got out from the sickbed. Instead of using the body, let us spar through showing appropriate techniques as a Spirit Order practitioner. Would that be ok?”

“If that is Sir Giles’ intent then I’m fine with it.”

Sparring didn’t mean they had to fight with swords. There were other ways to battle. Spirit Order had various ways to spar.

Giles spoke.

“Then let us meet again tomorrow after lunch.”

After Giles left, the frowning Rick asked Azell.

“You are really going to spar against Sir Giles?”

“Yes. I can move my body well, so there should be any problems?”

“Sir Giles is young, but his skills aren’t ordinary. No one really knows about it, but he isn’t a joke. I’m warning you….”

“I already know about it. That is why I chose a sparring technique where we can’t hurt each other. So please stop worrying.”

“Jeez. You are a patient, but you are being boastful in front of a healing expert.”

“Do I still look like a patient?”

Azell curled both his arms to bunch his muscles, and he took a pose. However, his flesh was full of water so it didn’t bulge at all. [TL: Not enough Gym]

“…….”

Rick started staring at him, so Azell looked away in embarrassment.

“Shit. Wait a few days. I’ll show you some wonderful abs!”

“If gaining muscles were that easy, then all the men in the world will be muscular.”

Rick snorted. Azell volleyed back.

“Do you think another person could gain this much flesh in one day?”

“No one… probably.”

“I was able to do it. Within couple days, I’ll be able to bulk up.”

“…….”

Rick was loss for words when he looked at Azell’s attitude, which was full of confidence without any basis.

Azell smiled smugly while asking a question.

“So how old is Sir Giles?”

“He should be 19 this year?”

“He’s only that old? Ah, he does look very young, but still.”

“It hasn’t even been half a year since he joined our outfit. Still everyone acknowledges his skill.”

During that time, even though Giles was a Centurion, he participated in patrolling the Balan forest to learn about the troop’s work. He displayed himself to be an earnest person.

Then he showed excellent skills dispatching monsters, and his fellow soldiers were impressed by his actions. At first, they weren’t thrilled to have a rookie knight as a superior officer. However, they all had accepted him and followed him now.

“Our troops fight against monsters quite frequently so skill is valued. He was earnest and skilled, so he was immediately acknowledged.”

“So that’s how it is. He has achieved a lot for a 19 year old. How is his skills compared to the other knights?”

“I’m not too sure about that. He should be around the middle. If he is able to act as the Centurion for our troops then he can’t be average. The other knights aren’t normal.”

Of course, they are like that. The troops constantly get threatened by monsters, and fight against them.

Azell slightly narrowed his eyes.

‘I want to see the other knights… For his age, it is a great accomplishment to become a Cord-rope master, but I have no idea about this period’s appraisal standard.’

In Azell’s time, Cord-rope masters weren’t rare.

The Dragon Demon king Atein and his army was a disaster that threatened the very existence of mankind. In front of them, the humans had to struggle desperately. Numerous warriors died daily, and only the strong survived.

The lack of military strength forced many to share the secret techniques they had had hoarded. If someone looked like he had some aptitude, then they freely shared the secret techniques.

The quality of knights became noticeably better than before the Dragon Demon War.

However, even in his time period it was rare to see a 19 year old surpass the level of Cord-rope master. According to Azell’s memory, there were less than 10 people.

That one year difference made an enormous difference.

‘However, if I add one more year then the number doubles.’

[TL: 19 becomes 20]

‘Hmm. I guess I’ll have to find out about it slowly. ‘

He put away the question he was thinking about for a moment and he started exercising again. He used his other arm. Of course, he stacked three stones and while doing handstand with one finger, he started doing pushups.

Rick was struck dumb by this sight, so he started mumbling to himself.

“Jeez. You are doing some amazing things, but… Why can I only think of you as a weird guy?”

Azell could only laugh at his words. He resumed exercising without saying a word.

Dragon Maken War

Chapter 5 Azell Zestringer (5)

[TL: By Mr Max]◇[PR:By ACE]

Giles spoke.

“I heard the approximate account from army doctor Rick. He said your memories are obscured….”

“Yes. It might seem like a lie, but I have no memories as to why I was there. I’m not even sure who I am…..”

Unlike Rick, Azell spoke respectfully towards Giles. He had heard from Rick that Giles was a noble that had received the title of knight. It was a situation where he couldn’t convey his identity, so he had to be polite towards the noble.

“Truthfully, I have a hard time believing it. However, the problem is every time I look at you the story becomes more likely.”

When Azell was found, his appearance was very grave. Even now he was still in somewhat of a vital state. The only way a human could have such an appearance and still be alive was for him to have been subjected to evil magical experimentation.

“At the very least, it doesn’t seem like you are a spy from a different country. I have decided to just let you go. However…..”

“However?”

“It isn’t a problem where I can make the decision. I’ll have to report to my Lieutenant and receive permission.”

The matter was a bit too sensitive for him to make a decision instead of his lieutenant.

Azell spoke.

“Mmm. Then let’s go meet the lieutenant right now and continue the story?”

“Unfortunately, it’s impossible right now.

“Why?”

“We came out of our fort to excavate the ruins. Moreover, the lieutenant returned to the fort to receive an important person. After couple days, he’ll return back here.”

“Then I have to wait until then?”

“Until you receive the lieutenant’s permission, you’ll have to stay in our camp without leaving it. I won’t imprison you, but it would be best if you don’t wander around. In your circumstance, this isn’t such a bad measure.”

Azell wasn’t healthy enough to wander around freely. Therefore, Giles told him it would be best to wait here, while being under their protection.

Azell realized his consideration, so he nodded his head.

“I’ll do that.”

“Then please go back. While you are standby, stay at the medical barracks.”

“I understand. Ah. By the way, may I ask you one question?”

Azell asked as if he just thought it up, so Giles answered back.

“What is it?”

“Centurion Giles. You have 4 rings of life? At your age, you are already a Cord-Rope master and a knight of the army, so why are you a Centurion in the frontier?”

At his unexpected intelligence, Giles’ expression visibly hardened. At the same time, he emitted an offensive energy.

“How did you know that?”

For those who train in the Spirit Order, one gets a title of ‘Master’ once the ring of life reaches 4. The offensive energy emitted by those who reached the level of master was enough to flatten a normal person.

However, Azell didn’t show any signs of shrinking back even after he received the energy. He just shrugged his shoulder and replied back.

“I just asked about what I saw. I don’t understand how I can see it either.”

Of course, this was a lie. Azell had reached a higher level as a practitioner of the Spirit Order in the past than Giles. Whether it was magical detection ability or the ability to discern the opponent’s fighting power, he was able to see through Giles’ strength at one glance.

He decided to ask an antagonistic question towards Giles, because he wanted to learn information about this time period. If one was a Cord-Rope master 220 years ago, the person would be acknowledged as someone with great power. However, will it be the same in this time period?

After glaring at Azell for a moment, Giles retracted his offensive energy.

“…what army doctor Rick said about you being a Spirit Order practitioner was true.”

“It’s true.”

“You don’t have any rings of life, or magical force but… I’ve had a vague sense that I can’t ignore you.”

It wasn’t as much as Azell, but Giles, who was a Cord-Rope master, was considerably adept at sensing other’s strength with his developed sense. The moment he saw Azell, he received a sensation that indicated he couldn’t be ignored.

Giles spoke.

“Anyways, you don’t have to answer that question. You don’t have any reason to answer it.”

“It is a sensitive topic, so I apologize.”

“It’s fine. You can go now.”

Azell nodded his head then he turned his body and he walked out of Gile’s barrack.

At the Balan forest’s ruin excavation site, the chef in charge of the meals was looking at an unbelievable sight.

It was caused by the transformation of one person. When he saw the person accompanying army doctor Rick Boran for the first time, he was surprised. The person was so skinny that he looked like a walking corpse.

While looking like that, the person ate an enormous amount of food, so the chef was astonished. He had eaten about 5 servings of food and 2 liters of water . The army was overflowing with men with robust appetites, but it was a whole different level trying to eat like this skinny corpse-like man.

However, the truly baffling part was his transformation.

He came to the kitchen to eat both lunch and dinner.

When he showed up for dinner, there was a suspicion as to the fact that he was the same person who showed up earlier for lunch. No matter how he saw it he was suspicious, but his superficial characteristics were certainly same as before. For example, he still had long red hair, and blue eyes. But the skinny corpse-like person had suddenly gained weight so how were they they suppose to interpret this? How can a human change so much in just couple hours?

‘Maybe it’s magic?’

He could only consider this thought as his customer, Azell Zestringer, went through an extreme change.

“Ah, is it because I was starving? Everything tastes like honey. But the seasoning is a bit strong.”

“You really eat well. Are you sure you are ok?””

Rick was sitting across him and he was shocked by the change.

He was almost unrecognizable. His weight had increased suddenly, so he looked more like a human.

Truthfully, Rick spent a full minute trying to dissuade Azell from eating more than 1 serving. Even after seeing him being ok after eating one serving, Rick still decided that he shouldn’t eat more. However, Azell was stubborn and he ate 3 servings, which frightened Rick. Soon he rapidly recovered his human appearance.

Now he was continuously eating dinner, while he was receiving everyone’s stares.

“I’m fine. I’m eating this much because my body requires it. To tell you the truth, I have to eat more, but I don’t want to suddenly abuse the stomach and be sick. So I’m eating in moderation.”

‘This is eating in moderation?’

Rick was loss for words. Azell was already cleaning up his 6th serving. Moreover, he drank at least 3 liters of water.

“If you drink that much water then wouldn’t you develop a stomach ache?”

“Usually.”

“Then why are you drinking so much?”

“I am eating a large amount of food, so I have to drink enough water to digest it, and I need to rehydrate my body. Rick, do you know that most of the body is composed of water? My body was extremely weakened, so I have to eat and drink a lot to return to my normal state. ”

“…you seem to make sense for a moment, but the truth is you are talking nonsense. Even a healthy person cannot eat that much and be fine. You are in a weakened state. If you eat and drink this way then you could die….”

“I’m fine. Am I not ok?”

“…….”

Ah, is that right? The corner of Rick’s mouth twitched. He wanted to say a word as a healing expert with an education from the Medical Association, but he was overwhelmed after seeing Azell’s absurd change.

“Be that as it may, isn’t your rapid change absurd? After eating a lot, you just slept for couple hours?”

“Doesn’t it make sense if you considering the weakened stated I was in? Also, each person has different rate of digestion?”

“With all do respect, where in the world is a person with that kind of digestive ability? Are you a beast of endless starvation brought up from some demon world?”

“Eh-ee. Originally, if a person who was weakened from starvation was fed well, then wouldn’t he be able to return to a human-like appearance in about four days? My situation is similar to that, but since I am eating more, the speed of the change is a bit different. ”

“No matter how I think about it, it doesn’t make any sense….”

“Ah, really. I’m fine.”

“…….”

“Stop saying it doesn’t make sense to something that has already happened. It happened in reality so accept it and analyze it. If you deny everything that diverges from your logic, then how will you be able to deal with unexpected situations?”

After saying this, Azell chewed on a seasoned vegetable. He had eaten all the food on top of his food tray, so he stood up with the tray.

“Are you done eating?”

“No, I’m going to eat another serving. Six servings is a bit unlucky. I’ll have to eat 7 servings, since magicians favor that number.”

“…….”

“Mr. Chef is pretty skilled. It’s delicious.”

Without caring if he was flabbergasted or not, Azell started complimenting the chef, while he was scooping up the food. One of the chef approached Rick and asked a question.

“Who is that guy?”

“We were told to treat him as Sir Giles’ guest. Weren’t you all informed of this?”

“I had heard about him…”

“He must be a gluttonous monster captured by an evil magician. I’m sure of it.”

“What?”

“Just leave it at that.”

Azell was walking towards them while humming, so Rick pushed the chef forward.

The Centurion of the Rulain kingdom’s western border guard, Giles Vince, was deeply interested in the mysterious man named Azell Zestringer. Aside from how they initially found him, he was able to see through Giles’ strength, which he was hiding, with one glance. He did this without having any rings of life, so his interest was inevitable.

‘How did he do it?’

He had thought about it since he let Azell leave, but it was a question that he couldn’t solve.

He wasn’t able to enter into the famous knight squads for personal reasons, and he had to enter into the army. While he was appointed to these remote locations, there weren’t that many people who were able to recognize his true abilities. Most people assumed that he was a small fry who was promoted to Centurion-based on his family’s power. They assumed this without even getting to know him.

Even the knights in this place, who were strengthened by fighting against monsters, thought the same thing. This goes to show how well Giles had concealed his true skill.

‘What is he playing at?’

He didn’t believe a single word coming from Azell. The only thing that kept him from being skeptical was the state Azell was found in was too appalling, so he thought his story sounded believable.

Survival strategy for weak territories! ~ My territory will be destroyed no matter how many times it is repeated. How can this be saved? ~

Chapter 1.4. Survival Strategy Second time Yes, get married

[TL:By Mr Max]◇[PR:By ACE]

Klein changes into a full formal dress and welcomes guests with all his vassals.

　He was the first to start.

　Marriage bolstered relations with the surrounding area.

“Welcome “

“Thank you for your warm welcome”

　And who came to meet him ?

　The daughter of the Count Yotun located southwest of Asgard, which was Klein’s territory.

　It’s important because Klein’s family is welcoming a higher noble house.

[TL: Mc noble house rank is viscount and the guest Nobel house rank is Count.]

　Even Marie, who usually has a loose atmosphere, had a nervous expression today.

“This time, I received a sudden offer, so I would like to thank you.”

“No. Our predecessor was also concerned about the Asgard family.”

　Now, let’s talk about the terrain.

　The kingdom has at least one marquis and one count in the north, south, east and west.

　If it is the Marquis of the West, it is called the West Marquis.

　The count of the south is called the South Count .

　The Yotun family in Nanhaku is a large force with a large breadbasket in the plains.

　The territory is naturally large and the productivity is high.

　It has incomparable power to a territory such as the Viscount of Asgard led by Klein.

　――But even in his previous life, there was a marriage from the Yotun family to Klein.

　He was alarmed, “Is the Nanhaku planning to take over?”

　But instead of responding this time.

　On the contrary, he is approaching the marriage from his side

　In reality, they and Klein are distantly related.

　The predecessor Count Yotun, who was concerned about Klein who lost his parents, came to the marriage with concern for Klein.

　He heard that and thought is that’s the only reason?

　By that time, the bride’s groom. had been decided, so the story was over without finding any other relatives who were close in age.

　Recalling that, Klein offered a formal marriage, and the other party replied that they agree to the engagement.

　Before the final decision, we had to meet each other first.

　I wrote my first letter two weeks ago.

　And the meeting is today.

[Only read at https://nightowlwalker.wordpress.com/ ]

　At the same time as replying to the letter received from Klein, the young lady seems to have begun preparing to leave.

　Klein doesn’t think there’s any reason to hurry on the Yotun side but the matchmaking came true in a surprising little amount of time.

“I think our mansion is simpler than the other Count’s mansion. We don’t want to inconvenience you, so please excuse us.”

“Don’t be modest. I think it’s a respectable mansion with a long history.”

　In his previous life, Klein ended his life as a bachelor.

　He saw the girl who came to the marriage.

　From the bottom of my heart, I’m glad I made a survival strategy.

　The girl who came to the matchmaking was a pretty beautiful girl.

“Klein-sama?”

　Platinum blonde hair close to silver. The smooth and tight eyes are stunning.

　The facial parts are also terrifyingly gorgeous.

　Overall, it makes me feel the outstanding potential in her beauty.

[TL: Me too MC me too]

“I’m sorry. I was fascinated. I’ve heard the story about her beauty, but she’s much more beautiful than I’ve heard in the rumours.”

“Well, you’re good at it.”

　Klein wanted to put up with Nanhaku if he could connect with them, even if the daughter had some problems with her appearance and personality Klein was ready to sacrifice for the peace of his territory.

　However, a beautiful girl appeared before him in his mission that did not need to be flattered.

　At first glance, the personality does not seem to be problematic.

　If you’ve ever seen her.

　Even in the previous life, he would have proposed to her without worrying about plots.

　The age difference is four years-currently Klein is fifteen and she is eleven-but it is also acceptable for aristocrats.

[TL:😶]

[PR: Hello….FBI]

[TL: No officer it was a trap… what do you mean trap is also a offence….let me go]

[PR: I will be taking over]

“Well, we have a seat on the terrace. Let’s have some tea first.”

“Thank you for your hospitality, Mr Klein”

　Welcoming a beautiful wife and strengthening our relationship with the South.

　While increasing relatives with people other than Nanhaku, start trading and increase the income of the territory.

　Then strengthen the power and increase his troops.

　Make money and hire mercenaries.

　Join forces with the surroundings to prevent the invasion of the Marquis Laguna.

　That is Klein’s goal.

　Actually, it is not possible to win by inflating the force a little, and it is not likely that Nanhaku and his relatives will come to the rescue seriously when something happens to his territory.

　However, there was also a calculation that if Nanhaku was on his territory back*, the Marquis family would not be able to afford the sudden invasion .

[PR: He will have their support]

　Of course, the Count family also has a political intention.

　Nanhaku is probably moving mainly in good faith.

　Otherwise, the daughter would have been married to a count of the same rank.

　Klein, who guessed so, felt sorry.

　In any case, the matchmaking continues without a hitch.

“What are your hobbies?”

“A little tea and poetry”

　Making sure that the template discussion is held and that the compatibility is not particularly bad.

　After that, we spent a few days together, which seemed like nothing.

　The group of young ladies eventually returned to Yotun territory.

　Immediately after I returned to the other side, I received a letter saying that they would like to proceed with the marriage.

　If anything, with a request to have a wedding by the end of the year.

“… Hey, old man. Is it not too early to move from engagement to marriage?”

“No, the young lady is old enough though I feel like that she can wait for a few years.”

　he wondered why they were in hurry, and Klein was a little uncomfortable

　But He doesn’t want to miss this chance either.

“That’s right …. Well, if it’s quick there’s no problem.”

“How would you like your reply?”

“Yeah, well. I think there can only be consent here.”

　Perhaps this is the only opportunity for such an empty territory to marry into a superior noble house.

　Even if there is something mysterious, the answer can only be “I accept”.

“… I have a bad feeling, but it should be fine shouldn’t it be?”

　The Asgard side also accepted the proposal.

　It was decided to hold a wedding reception by the end of the year.

　The lord’s marriage was decided, and the territory was surrounded by a bright atmosphere.

　–However. It didn’t take long for Klein’s anxiety to become a reality.

Dragon Maken War

Chapter 4 Azell Zestringer (4).

[TL: By Mr Max]◇[PR:By ACE]

Magic and Spirit Order is a secret art that is not taught thoughtlessly to others, and no one trains in front of others. However, Azell knew about Rick’s presence. He reverberated with the mana without paying attention to him.

“Mmm.”

There was a faint ball of light that rose up in front of Azell as he continued to reverberate with the mana. After seeing this, Rick instantly realized what it was.

‘Is that a mana aggregate? He didn’t have a single ring of life, so how was he able to create such a dense aggregate of magical force?’

The rings of life of a person, who had mastered the Spirit Order, was a representation of how much strength the person could use. As the number of rings of life increases, one could release more stronger power.

However, when Rick observed him, Azell hadn’t properly activated his energy and he had no rings of life. So how was he able to make such a dense aggregate of magical force, which had materialized in a form of light?

If Azell had heard Rick’s question, then he would have answered like this.

‘Even if I do not have the rings of life, my control over the magical force is high and this allows me to freely manipulate the magical force.’

Azell had already perfected the Spirit Order, and he had reached the highest stage before. Of course, he was unrivalled in manipulating the magical force.

The other practitioners would only absorb a portion of the power they had raised through the mana resonance. However, Azell gathered all the power into one place, and he supported it with both hands.

Then he drank it.

Ricks eyes became round.

“He ate…the mana aggregate?”

He had never heard of such an event. Azell had drunk the mana aggregate he had made as if it was water!

“Hoo-ooh.”

This caused a considerable amount of magical energy to flow into his dried energy pulse.

Azell circulated the magical force throughout his whole body’s energy pulse. After it soaked in, he gathered the leftover power to draw a ring.

‘I won’t be able to do it in a day’

As expected, the job of forming the ring of life was tough. With this amount of magical force, he wasn’t even able to maintain the small origin that’ll become the ring of life’s circle.

Azell tried to raise the mana resonance again to form another mana aggregate, but suddenly the vision in front of his eyes spun.

“Oook…..”

He was sitting cross-legged, but he almost lost his balance. He was barely able to avoid from falling to the ground, and Azell realized his problem.

‘Shit. My body won’t be able to endure it.”

The condition of his body was so bad that he could only resonate the mana for a short period of time, and after receiving one magic aggregate he had reached his limit. Spirit order was a

secret art that strengthened the body through magical force. One had to train the body and magical force equally to see a synergistic effect. If one side is deficient then it’ll affect the other side similarly.

Rick spoke.

“Don’t overdo it. Where did you learn to make a mana aggregate and drink it? I know the basics of Spirit Order, but this is the first time I have seen that method.”

“….maybe?”

Azell turned his head in puzzlement.

His attitude indicated that he didn’t know either. Of course, he was acting, but he had laid down a cover story before. So Rick just let it go.

Azell spoke.

“I have a request, army doctor Rick.”

“Mmm?”

“The meals tomorrow… Could you give me the normal amount?”

Azell was able to speak properly now. His voice was extremely hoarse, but he was able to articulate clearly.

Rick shook his head.

“No. Do you think your body could digest a normal meal?”

“I’m only asking, because I believe I can.”

“You only feel like that. You might defecate bloody stools.” [TL: 🤢]

“No, really. I’m unsure about my memory, but… I’m able to control my body through Spirit Order. I only went to the restroom once today.”

‘His body is in such a state that it may not be able to absorb all the nutrients…. Still that shouldn’t be normal?’

Azell spoke to the dubious Rick.

“First, I’ll eat tomorrow’s breakfast and I’ll stop if it is a burden. Please let me at least attempt it?”

“Mmm. Ok. However….”

Rick spoke with an unsatisfied expression.

“You are very natural at speaking casually to me?” [TL: Respectful way of speaking in korea rather asia to one’s superior and elders]

“Did I? By the way, didn’t you, army doctor Rick, do the same thing?”

“I’m someone even the army’s Centurions respect?”

“In the past, I also got special treatments. Maybe. Since I can’t really remember it.”

“Jeez.”

Rick clicked his tongue, but he didn’t say anything. In the first place, he didn’t have the personality to tie his neck in a noose over someone not addressing him with honorific.

‘Also, this guys is oddly familiar?’

At first, he was slightly afraid of the person who didn’t look like a human then he felt pity.

Now that he had heard some of his story, he was oddly familiar. This caused him to treat him in a very relaxed manner even if his appearance was like that.

After Azell saw his reaction, he smiled inside.

‘Fortunately, I’m able to manipulate the energies pretty well.’

It was common for a person to feel a unique feeling when one sees another person. The feeling could be called a normal impression. Some people are comfortable, some are threatening and some people’s impression is so faint that one can’t tell if the person is there or not.

When the practitioner of Spirit Order reaches the highest, one is able to control the energy that is emitted, and in turn, one can change one’s impression. Earlier Giles was softly emitting an imposing feeling. This was the same principle. [TL: he gave Giles as an instance.]

Azell was able to utilize this technique. He intended to give off a friendly atmosphere with no pressure. Rick ate it up.

Rick complained.

“Sir Giles picked up a strange guy.”

He didn’t call Giles a Centurion, but he called him ‘Sir’, which was an honorific for knights.

Azell thought this was strange, but he started asking a different question.

“Ah. Do you think I could ask you couple question?”

“Do you realize that someone in your position shouldn’t talk like this?”

“I know I’m the one who should be questioned, but I can’t remember anything. ”

“I don’t know who you are but…. I bet you lived shamelessly.”

“I think so too.”

Azell laughed bitterly. If he wasn’t shameless, then he wouldn’t have invested an enormous amount of resources to save his own life by emulating the dragon’s hibernation. He wouldn’t have even attempted it.

‘Anyways, Carlos was chomping at the bits to do the experiment.’

Carlos did everything in his power to save his friend, Azell. However, as a magician, he probably felt ecstatic that he would be able to implement his methods. Originally, magicians are that kind of breed.

Azell asked a question.

“Where is this place?”

“We are with the Balan forest located in the Rulain kingdom’s western border.

“The Rulain kingdom….”

Now that he thought about it, Giles introduced himself as belonging to the Rulain kingdom’s western border guards. At the time, he didn’t have the presence of mind to pay attention to it, but now that he thought about it….

‘That country doesn’t exist.’

According to Azell’s knowledge, the country called the Rulain kingdom didn’t exist.

However, he did remember a figure called Rulain. Amongst the noble family of the Nadik kingdom, there was one called Duke Rulain.

Azell asked the most important question.

“By the way, what year is this according to the Atein calendar?”

Each country on the continent used the years since they were formed. However, there was a separate system called the Atein calendar. The magicians started counting the time since the Dragon Demon King Atein was destroyed and when the humans was freed from his threat. This method started being widely used.

Rick answered.

“It’s the year 222.”

“Year 222? Did you say year 222?”

“Yes. Also, today is the 4th month 8th days.”

“Huh… No, wait a moment.”

Azell put his hand on his forehead, while making a shocked expression. The shock was too large that he lost the ability to speak for a moment.

“220 years…..’

Azell had fallen asleep 2 years after he had slain the Dragon Demon King Atein. According to Rick, 220 years had passed.

‘I can’t believe this.’

He had already guessed that he had been asleep for a long time.

Unlike other animals, the dragons hibernate for at least couple decades. Since the time he was awake, he had somewhat accepted the fact that he had been asleep for a very long time.

However, he would have never imagined that such an enormous amount of time had passed.

‘That explains it.’

He was sure it was the same language, but words he didn’t know was mixed in with it. It wasn’t because he was in a region where he never visited, but neew words he didn’t know were formed after a vast amount of time had passed.

‘Everyone I knew… They are all dead.’

Azell was despairing when he heard a voice carefully asking him a question. This woke him up.

Rick was staring at him with a worried face.

Azell replied.

“Ah, I’m ok.”

“What’s wrong? Was it a memory related to the date?”

“A little bit.”

“What did you remember?”

“I think… I lost several years worth of memory.”

Azell lied about it.

The surprised Rick asked a question.

“How many years?”

“I’m not certain. However, the last date I remember was the year 218.”

Therefore, there was a 4 year gap in his memory. Azell decided to tell him this.

Of course, this was an event that would make one shocked.

Rick questioned.

“How old are you, Azell?”

“I don’t know. I don’t think I’m 30 yet…..”

“Yeah?”

Rick was surprised. Azell asked while frowning.

“Why are you reacting like that?”

“No, how should I say this. You don’t seem that old. When I look at your appearance, I can’t determine your age at all.”

“Mmm. That’s how it should be.”

Azell laughed bitterly.

After the conversation, Rick went to sleep, so he also went to lie down on his bunk. Even though his body required sleep, he was up all night, because of the confusion and shock.

‘Carlos…..’

He wanted to see his friend that he could never meet again. [TL: 🥺 sed life]

The next morning Azell called after a soldier and they went looking for Giles.

It was morning, but Giles appearance was impeccable. He looked delicate, but he seemed to try hard to act with discipline.

Giles asked him a question.

“Have you eaten?”

“Thanks to you.”

After getting Rick’s permission, Azell was able to have a normal meal as breakfast. Rick was surprised at seeing Azell eat all the of meal that the soldier brought.

“You look way better than yesterday.”

“That I do?”

He looked scary since he was still very skinny, but his appearance was way more human-like compared to yesterday.

Steel Armour City

Chapter 7

[TL: By Mr Max]◇[PR:By ACE]

The cold on the wound, the cool feeling relieved some pain and burning sensation, making Lin Xinyan very comfortable.

He opened his eyes again.

Wake up from the darkness, but it feels very strange. This feeling is different from waking up from a dream. Lin Xinyan felt that he never seemed to sleep, but penetrated into the real world from a closed space, and the darkness in front of him disappeared, because in the darkness, he could be independent. Thinking instead of dreaming uncontrollably.

What kind of machine is it that can make a person not sleepy or unconscious but can’t do anything, just like falling asleep, and can be like a normal person after unblocking?

Why never heard of such a machine?

What hospital is this?

The person in front of him is wearing a nurse’s uniform and is facing the injury on his leg. The nurses are all the same body. When I was injured a long time ago, I asked them to take good care of them, so I recovered. After more than eight years, seeing them again makes Lin Xinyan feel like seeing her long-lost relatives. Lin Xinyan’s heart moved and said: “Well, this medicine is much more comfortable, thank you!” He raised his hand and habitually wanted to pat the nurse on the back. This is what he often does at Base 766.

The palm of her hand was raised and landed on the nurse’s back, but the nurse was stung by a scorpion, and jumped away with a scream of “Ah”.

Oh, this nurse is not the last nurse. Lin Xinyan said in his heart.

“What are you doing!?” The nurse was holding three cotton swabs in her left hand, holding the medicine bottle in her right hand, panicking, and staring at her angrily.

Lin Xinyan stayed for a while, then smiled silly, and said: “I admit I had the wrong person, the wrong person. I…I just think you have worked hard,so I wanted to praise you just like my brothers.”

“brother?!” The nurse rolled the eyes, walked back and continued to take the medicine, and said silently: “You stinky soldiers, if you make a mistake, you will know that it sounds good. I am a female, but not you. What kind of brother!”

“Uh…that’s a sister.”

The nurse scolded: “Less glib tongue! Don’t come with this one!” Then he continued to apply the medicine. : “Is there a lot of people on the front line, I’m tired, my body hurts like a hornet’s nest, but there is still no seriousness, and I don’t know what’s going on with you.”

“Ah? Why is it not serious?” Lin Xinyan asked curiously.

The nurse was taken aback, looked at him, blushed, and then continued to apply the medicine without turning around, shutting up and ignoring him. It wasn’t until Lin Xinyan’s wound was smeared with ointment, her face slowly returned to the color of the stamens, and she said “hmph, you better be honest. I don’t want you to sleep here anymore. After so many days, you should wake up too.” Once you wake up, your body will recover faster. But if you are so violent, I will have to be as unkind as Tong Liya and keep you asleep!”

“Oh? She called Tong Liya?”

“en? Do you remember?” the little nurse asked.

Lin Xinyan struggled to sit up, affirmed: “Of course I remember. I woke up from a coma that day and hit a girl.”

“Lie down and lie down!” The little nurse pressed Lin Xinyan down and continued to apply the medicine.

“That…I was not careful that day.” Lin Xinyan said.

“Yes. Most stinky soldiers say that when they are awake.”

Lin Xinyan’s eyes widened.

“You soldiers, it is estimated that you have spent more time on the battlefield, and you are all mentally abnormal. When you were sent here, all of them were bloody, so you can understand if you are in a bad mood. , And, most of these things are a tune, first beat the person, then apologize, and then please, I have a bad heart. But I can tell you, don’t think about our nurses, here’s There are too many patients, and I’m afraid that I’m going to be besieged. By that time, don’t say I didn’t warn you!”

Until Lin Xinyan reacted, the little nurse watched him grinding his teeth. He smiled and continued: “I say this, but it doesn’t mean that our nurses have no means to deal with you soldiers. We have tranquilizers in our hands.”

Two more wounds were applied, Lin Xinyan’s wounds. It’s all done. The little nurse relaxed, received the liquid medicine and cotton swabs and other things, looked at Lin Xinyan, who was ridiculously laughing, and said: “I know, what you want to know most now must be how nurse Tong is doing. I want to say sorry to her. No? I want to see her face, right? Well, I will answer you now, she will come tomorrow, and she will be on duty tomorrow. But you are ready, he may have to repair you, because of you, her nose will be broken! “

“Huh? Is it so serious?” Lin Xinyan said. His punch was indeed a bit heavier.

The little nurse nodded, frowned: “But don’t worry, our nurses generally don’t avenge personal revenge. You are just a little uncomfortable. Of course, this is actually good for you. You can leave the hospital as soon as possible, and then go to the battlefield to die!”

“Okay, today’s wounds are all treated. I want to Go to see other patients, think about it.” The little nurse picked up the medicine tray and turned around to leave.

“What’s your name?” Lin Xinyan thought this little nurse was funny, and asked casually.

The little nurse raised her head and said, “Sit down, don’t change your name, don’t change your surname, Mai!” Then she disappeared outside the ward.

When the little nurse left, Lin Xinyan did not fall asleep, which is a good thing. Lin Xinyan was very curious about what device he was being held hostage by, so he lifts the head and took a look around. There is an instrument on the right side of the bed with a lot of colorful detection lines on it, and there is a tube sticking out from it, which is connected to my head. Lin Xinyan touched his head, the tube is still invisible, it is connected to the position of the occipital bone behind his head.

I tried to pull, but it hurts a bit.

His grandfather, he wants to trap Lao Tzu like this?

Lin Xinyan’s heart is full, and he is not afraid of fighting mechanical beasts in the base, and he is not afraid of being injured. I am afraid of this pain?

So, he fiercely twitched–

It was dark.

Survival strategy for weak territories! ~ My territory will be destroyed no matter how many times it is repeated. How can this be saved? ~

Chapter 1.3 Survival Strategy. If it’s a dream for the second time, it’s a dream

[TL:By Mr Max]◇[PR:By ACE]

This is the month of April, the kingdom has been established for 500 years … this is about three years ago before the nightmare took place ?”

　I once died and my territory was destroyed.
　if I think about that as a reality.

Then looking at the newspaper.
　Today’s front-page article states that the cleanup of a major event in the royal capital has ended.

“Well, by the way, now・ ・ ・It was around the time when the purge was over. “

　Klein’s territory is not in the countryside, but it is not so urban.
　Due to the halfway position, the central information is transmitted with a slight delay.

　Even newspapers are not up to date.
　So there is a slight time lag with the actual date.

　But even if he didn’t know the exact date, he remembered the turmoil itself.

　About a month ago from today, the second prince and the first princess.
　In addition, several relatives of the king were poisoned.

“Oh, I know. The purge was over successfully-I think there’s another upheaval? I don’t know what happened.”

　The territory of Asgard was peaceful, even if there was a fuss up and down in the royal capital.
　Like Klein today, as he is spending the same peaceful days.

　Anyway, I learned about this incident at that time・ ・ ・All Klein did was order a tightening of security in his territory.

“In the distance, the people above the clouds are fighting.”*

[TL- Far from his reach or in the future people way stronger and higher than him are fighting]

　With that feeling, for Crane in the past, this was an incident that he didn’t even notice.
　So he won’t know the details.

　But now he knows that this has to do with the destruction of Asgard territory.

　this・ ・If that is the reality, the first thing to do is to sort out the current situation.
　With that in mind, Klein writes.

“Some noble houses have absorbed the land and interests of the purged noble houses. The problem should reignite after a year or so.”

　At the royal palace around this time, there was a muddy battle over who would be the next king.
　It seems that it was a daily occurrence such as an assassination plan.
　While saying such a fact, Klein organizes the information.

“I thought it was an attack from the first prince to the second prince, but it seems that the first prince was also poisoned and was in critical condition for a while.

　The situation is that the princes are annihilated.
　With the recovery of the First Prince, the battle for the throne had come to an end.

　However, problems still occur after this.

　Because the power struggle over the next king has been settled.
　In addition to confiscating property from those who seemed to be the main culprit in the royal assassination case.

　–Originally, he stole the property of the house that belonged to the Second Prince faction.

　With the blame. Although not large in scale, it has developed into a civil war.
　That is the story that Klein saw and heard in the future.

“So, the plan of the rebellion came to an end, and the second purge happened. When some houses gained more strength finally it will lead to that day.”

　The incident one month ago.
　And the next purge.
both cases made Marquis Laguna grow significantly.

　Their enemies were declining.
　Marquis swallowed the entire aristocratic territory and the interests of the merchants.

“Well, I wouldn’t dare to touch such a conspiracy.”

　In addition to the Laguna family, there are several other noble houses that have clearly benefited from the purge and civil war.
　It smelled like an outright conspiracy, as even Crane, who is not familiar with politics, could tell.

　He didn’t feel like sticking his head in it.
　All that matters is Klein’s territory.

“I’m not interested in the royal capital. The basic policy is …”

　Taking the pen, Klein writes down his thoughts.
　After a few minutes, the policy is decided.


“1. I will not die.

2. I will prevent the annihilation of my territory. 3. I will not destroy the territory.”


　Four, the Marquis of Laguna is bogged down. I tried to add.

　At present, there is tens of times difference in total troop strength, and it will be even wider in three years.
　I concluded that revenge is practically difficult because of the difference in the productivity of the territories.

　So roughly.
　Grab a happy future where no one will die.
　I made this policy.

“No, but this. Isn’t it clogged up anymore …?”

　There is too much difference in soil strength between the Viscounts and the Marquis.

　Where Klein did his best in domestic affairs.
　he couldn’t even see a future that could beat the Marquis of Laguna, let alone a future where Marquis could be stalled.

　Whether in commerce or agriculture.
　Whether it’s troops or status.
　I can’t think of anything where I can win.

“If you don’t do anything, you’re in a situation where I have to wait for the destruction …. Hmm, what to do?”

　Klein was worried because he couldn’t see a solution.
　Even if he groaned in front of my desk for tens of minutes, he couldn’t come up with a good idea.

　It’s about noon, and I’m clogged up with my thoughts and look out the window.
　On the table, Marie and several other maids were doing the laundry in the garden.

“Hey, Tom-san! Please stop!”
“Haha, Marie so nostalgic.”
“Wow, you are laughing at me… oh! Stop it!”

　When Tom, a merchant, is having a small talk with one of the maids.
　It seems that his horse was playing with Marie’s head poking his nose at her.

　Petite Marie was in trouble because she shook her body every time she was pushed by the tip of the horse’s nose.

“… It’s peaceful.”

　If you are a nobleman of the royal capital, you might be able to get rid of your servant if you see this scene.
　Surrounded by unexplored forests on the south side of the territory, it is a normal sight in the countryside atmosphere of Asgard territory.

　It seems that there were many leisurely shops from successive lords.
　It was a land pattern governed by a nobleman who was friendly to his people and friendly to his servants.

“No, Marie. I was angry at you slacking again.”
“What do you mean? I didn’t slack .”

　Apart from Klein, No one could blame her for slacking.
　he doesn’t care if she is chatting while washing.

　The only strict member of the Viscount family is Klaus, the head butler.[TL: The Buttler]

“Hmm … I’ll get fat moderately.”
“Rude!　That much・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・Then you won’t get fat! “

　The conversation heard from the front and the flowing air are peace itself.
　He was caught by it and laughed unintentionally.

“Marie is getting a scolding for slacking “.

　The territory will be destroyed three years later.
　No one would have even dreamed about that.

　Only Klein can do something.
　After reaffirming it, he stretched his hands and went to the desk again.

“I have to do something …. Well, what should I do?”

　Klein, who was involved in a sudden war and saw a shocking sight that made her memories jump.
　While relaxing in the exchange in the garden.

　It seems that it has finally settled down in the true sense of the word.

“If this is a dream, it can be a dream.That・ ・If that is the reality, you can be as happy as you are in your dreams. “

　Maybe it’s because I got rid of my thoughts and my head was refreshed.
　I was getting more ideas than before.

　And a few minutes later.

　Klein takes action as soon as he comes up with a good idea.


“Yes, let’s get married.”
