51 – Episode 51. Its existence becomes known on the continent (2)

‘No way…….’

White colored hair.

You may not know this if you are an old person, but gray hair is not a common hair color among young people.

I don’t know if only the hair color was the same, but even the eye color of the man I met in my dream was gray.

A dream I had over and over again.

For some reason, every time I woke up from a dream, a part of my heart felt numb.

A nostalgic feeling that I had forgotten since I swore to live as the ruler of Serpina County, who inherited Eingart’s blood.

The person in that dream…… It just appeared in the real world?

The one who stopped her, who was understandably excited, was Jenna, Serpina-kun’s national bookkeeper, who was standing next to her.

“Master, calm down!”

“…….”

Only after Xena’s dissuasion did Serpina regain her calm and let go of her hand on Julian.

“Knock…Knock.”

Serpina sighed softly and then regained her composure and asked.

“…So, are you claiming that the man summoned a huge boulder from the sky?”

“Yes, that’s right. It’s true, my lord…”

Julian said, his body shaking as if he still couldn’t believe it.

“The man… Was not an ordinary person. It was like a god… A god had descended to earth. As soon as the man stretched out his hand and shouted… A stone… Fell from the sky… !!”

“…Whew.”

Serpina sighed briefly.

It was a ridiculous situation for a soldier to suddenly die, but the vanguard she sent away was spewing out even more absurd words.

But.

Although Julian was not a general with outstanding abilities – he was a general who performed an above-average role.

Not only Julian, but also a few soldiers who survived and returned were also saying the same thing.

So, he wasn’t just talking nonsense.

A huge stone suddenly fell from the sky.

And, the white-haired general of the enemy army who was performing a bizarre ritual…….

‘… ….’

If you think about it a little more calmly, there is absolutely no guarantee that he will match the person in your dream just because he has white hair and gray eyes.

Nevertheless, what Serpina was feeling now was a strong attraction.

It’s like a force of fate, a sensation I feel for the first time in my life.

‘I need to find out about that general.’

Serpina said as she looked at Julian, who was shaking in fear and half-frozen before her eyes.

“It is an unprecedented defeat, but if it was caused by a natural disaster, it cannot be helped. I will not specifically reprimand you, so please rest until new orders come. However, if you continue to lose your senses and rambling, “You’re going to be in a very difficult situation. Do you understand?”

“…Yeah, but…!”

“…….”

Instead of answering, Serpina raised her head slightly and looked down at Julian very coldly.

“Ah… Ah, I understand…”

“Let’s go now.”

Just like that, Julian leaves the throne room.

After taking a deep breath, Serpina asked Jenna next to her.

“What do you think?”

“Are you saying a rock fell from the sky?”

“Yes.”

Jenna said, lowering her head.

“I think that in itself is true. There are pieces scattered here and there in our territory that look like huge broken stones, and all the survivors testify in common. It’s not like they were fooled by something vain or illusory. It’s the same.”

“So, Jenna, are you also thinking that the white-haired man may have used magic?”

“I’m a little cautious, but yes.”

Jenna spoke in a calm tone.

“Things like magic only exist in legends. However… The few history books that have come down from the old empire contain a lot of mythical content whose authenticity is questionable, but there are several instances of similar incidents. I think I did.”

“What if it’s something similar?”

“Things that can only be seen as using magic. Of course, no one has ever used magic such as ‘summoning a rock from the sky and dropping it’ in any records, but what are the limits of magic itself in the first place? “No one knows.”

Jenna said that and continued speaking in a slightly ambiguous tone.

She was quite different from her usual self, who always spoke with a feeling close to her confidence.

“So… I guess that guy really is a wizard.”

“What is the basis?”

“That’s right, it’s a much more probable guess than having a natural disaster suddenly occur just because you hold a ancestral rite to heaven.”

Jenna took a breath and continued her story.

“In the first place, you won’t be able to control natural disasters just by holding a ancestral rite. I think it’s completely impossible. Then, the only answer left is ‘The man knew that a rock would fall on that day and at that time.’ However, in my personal opinion, I think that the ability to read everything that will happen in the future is much more unrealistic than that of wizards who exist only through mythological records. So….”

She gazed intensely into Serpina’s eyes.

“I still can’t believe it at all… But I wonder if he is a magician. Of course, the reason why he held a noisy sacrifice in a position where enemy soldiers and vanguards could confirm the existence of him was because ‘this whole situation was a sacrifice to heaven.’ I suspect that he intentionally did something he didn’t need to do in order to give the impression that it happened. The reason is-“

“Is it to hide the fact that he is a wizard?”

“Yes.”

Serpina was lost in her thoughts for a moment, then asked her again.

“Then Xena, is this what you are saying? The first wizard of this era has appeared in Brans County.”

“Excluding the impossible, what remains is the truth, no matter how absurd it may be.”

Excluding the impossible, what remains is the truth…….

“And if you check the history books, the existence of wizards usually appears during times of turbulence. I don’t think the timing is that strange either.”

“…Okay. I guess I need to check further.”

Serpina was lost in her thoughts, tapping her fingers on the armrest.

‘Is that the man in my dreams…… Or maybe he really is the first wizard…… ‘Someday, the moment will come when I have to face that face.’

She let out a short sigh.

Even the sight of her sighing was very alluring, and she had enough beauty to charm others.

“Jenna. Information about that man. Anything is fine, so can you collect as much as you can?”

“Master. It’s not ‘Can you give it?’ Just say ‘Give it.’ I will carry out any command.”

“…Um. Then, please.”

“Yes.”

If it is true that he is a wizard who has finally distinguished himself as Xena said.

In order to unify the world, she had no choice but to collect chess pieces called ‘Wizards’.

I was also able to check if he was the person who kept appearing in my dreams.

Serpina set a short-term goal.

It is ‘meeting a man with white hair’.

And at least until this moment, she had never failed to achieve the goal she had set.

* * *

Balharat Castle.

Although the glory of the old empire faded after it became a battlefield-

Nevertheless, it was still a large city located in the eastern part of the central continent with a large population.

The color on top of this castle is dark red.

A flag so red that it was reminiscent of the color of blood stains was dancing freely in the direction from which the wind blew.

Blood-red color, the color that symbolizes the Aceers Army.

The monarch, Baranga Uuriaecious, was a favorite color, saying it symbolized the blood bond between herself and her comrades.

And.

In the royal castle of Balharat Castle, Baranga Yuuri Acious – a woman called ‘Yuuri’ by her colleagues was talking to an old man with a long beard.

“Okay. Did I fail?”

“That’s right. I’m just sorry.”

Yuri, the absolute ruler of the Aishous army, sitting on the throne, said with a regretful smile.

“Epinel must have had a hard time trying to sort things out. By the way, there comes a time when your plan fails too.”

The long black hair gave a very elegant impression.

The costume was too simple to be considered that of a monarch. It would be safe to say that it is an ordinary general’s clothing.

The only thing that proved she was her lord was the fact that she was now sitting on her throne.

If there was something unique about her that was different from others, it was the color of her eyes.

One of her eyes was dark blue, and the other eye was a light sky color.

Eyes of two different colors gave her a strange charm that she could not feel in other people.

After encouraging the old man, Yuuri was lost in her thoughts.

After clearing out all the troops of Lacline Castle, located on the eastern border of Brans County, they immediately invaded Lacline Castle and advanced into the central region, while at the same time using Charam County and Alefel County as de facto satellite countries to form Brans County. The plan to somehow balance the situation was completely blown away.

“By the way, how on earth did you get caught? Did you know? Did the people of Charam County talk too much?”

“No. The plan was perfect. However… It seems like there was someone in Brans County who noticed our plan from the very beginning.”

“Are you talking about Farfalle? You said the same thing. Of all the people who studied under you, he was the smartest?”

The old man shook his head and said.

“Miss Farfalle is certainly intelligent… But I don’t think she has the ability to see through the plan from the beginning.”

Acous Army’s plan.

[Communicating with the Charam army and the Allepel army in advance to spread false rumors that they were planning to attack the Allepel army, and then to lure the Charam army into attacking the Brans army first].

This plan, which seemed perfect at first glance, seemed to have been accurately predicted by someone already during the execution stage.

“Then who else is there?”

“I’m not sure about that… But in the end, it was all a mistake in my judgment. I apologize once again.”

“It’s okay. You’ve done enough, right? I think it’s fortunate that you realized it when Brans didn’t move as expected. I think it’s a good thing.”

The reason we were able to successfully complete this plan without being caught up in the Brans army trying to counterattack was because of the great contribution of the old man in front of us.

Yes.

An old man with a long beard in front of his eyes.

A man buried in the wilderness and trying to spend his life raising his children.

In order to make this man his agent, Yuuri stayed at his residence for nearly a month and persuaded him again and again with his colleagues.

What is lacking in Aishous County. It is not the outstanding generals, the mysterious and strong bond that spreads among the generals, or the will to open a new sky rather than continuing the sky of the Eingart Empire – but to take the position of a counselor who will become their head. He was a person who would give.

A rumor that came to her while she was wandering around looking for her story.

The story goes that ‘[The person] Who once worked for the Eingart royal family is staying in a place not far from Balharat Castle.’

I don’t know why such a big man was hiding within his territory…… From Yuuri’s perspective, it could be said to be tremendous luck.

So.

From Yuuri’s perspective, it was okay if one or two of his plans failed.

In fact, at this level, the plan that was completely exposed was resolved well.

She encouraged the old man and mentioned his name.

“Don’t worry too much, and lend me your wisdom in the future as well….Zinor.”

“Yes, my lord. I, Jinor, will work with the sole intention of making you a unified monarch.”

Sage of the Empire · Jinor Nighthart.

Now, he was working as a state inspector for Eishers County.
