The Strategist Knows Everything

Chapter One: Thoughts 6

Night.

When Albion brought me here, I was given an elegant room by the measure of Albion.

Until a few years ago, Master Al was the son of Albion, but he was apparently expelled from the royal palace by his father, the King.

It is ironic because that is what is supposed to result in escape from the hands of Stratos' demons.

Eileen said that the reason for his expulsion from the royal palace was also because he was in conflict with his father, the Duke, who insisted that Velis, who had repeatedly invaded a small country, should be considered, and that Albion would not actively intervene in another country.

Was anyone in Albion still endangering Velis? If civil unrest had been a little longer, we might have really allowed other countries to intervene.

If you think so, Velis still survives the critical line.

Still sandwiched by Albion and the Empire, it is the country closest to annihilation in the five powers.

"Think about it now…………."

That's how I whine in a room where no one else is.

It's not about Velis that I should think about right now.

Leave Veris to the people in Veris, and I should do what I can here.

"But anyway, the purpose of this faction is to keep me secure, so I can take the lead... and there's nothing I can do until I make a move."

The purpose of Stratos is definitely to lure me, Sophia, and Velis.

If Velis is forced into the offensive, Velis' defensive line, which is made up of a dangerous balance, will collapse. And Master Kaguya won't be okay with that.

So Velis doesn't force him to send troops. I knew that, so I sent Knox to Velis.

But it's close to a bet if Knox comes to my rescue. It's also suspicious if Velis moves in the first place.

"It's unlikely that it won't move..."

In my absence, Master Kaguya gathered up Velis.

Now, Velis is not the country where I or Dio rebuilt Master Kaguya after the civil unrest. This is the country that Master Kaguya is putting together. Naturally, I don't have a place in that country.

You wouldn't want to rescue a person you don't need. For Velis, I am a man of the past, and a general unnecessarily captured by an enemy country.

What does Master Kaguya think of me?

Would you feel sorry for me, or wouldn't you mind?

What about Sophia?

"Sophia must be worried………"

I said I wouldn't be alone, but I left him alone again.

I never imagined when Sophia came to Velis to leave Sophia, go to the Empire, and get caught by Albion and go to Albion.

And I didn't even think I'd implement a plan that relied on that Sofia's “authority."

"Ha..."

I sighed heavily.

There is no one in the room. I just sighed, and there's no one to make me feel bad.

I thought so.

However.

"I sigh because I'm tired. Recommend resting."

A voice flew out of an open window.

Outside the window there is a wide veranda. Probably the voice from there.

"Who is it?

I stood up from the chair I was sitting in, put my right hand in my nostrils, and that's what I asked on guard.

You must be a man from your voice. He sounded young, but I can't judge him by his voice alone.

"I hope you're not so wary.“ Lelfa's right arm. "

The fact that you're going to use the word Lelfa's right arm means that you know Lelfa.

And there won't be many people I know in Lelfa who are human. It's like a man hiding in a forest.

"An ancient species?

"The elfin of the fairies."

It was a beautiful man who appeared from the veranda.

The gray hair is as far as the waist, and the dark green eyes give you a deep sense of intelligence.

My ears are long and pointed and my nose is sooo high. He's taller than me, but he's not taller than me. With the exception of its overly beautiful appearance and its ears, it looks no different than a human being.

It looks just like the elves that come in the novel.

Speaking of which, there were five races.

"Dragons, fairies, demons, beasts, and spirits. The same breeds that once flourished."

Elfin slowly walked in the room.

I didn't look away, and I didn't fail to be vigilant.

Relfa simply said “troublemaker” and did not tell us what ancient species were enemies of man.

There is no more vigilance than the possibility of the troublesome Elfin in front of him.

"Did Lelfa say anything about me?

"I was just saying that the troublemaker moved out. And he asked me to help him."

"I see. That sounds like a relfa explanation. Believe it or not, the troublemaker is not me. There is only one person I know who can be king of the Dragon Nation and who Lelfa, powerful enough to interfere with the world, calls" troublesome ”and so on."

Elfin stops and confronts me.

My dark green eyes just stare at me and I can't move as if I were in gold bondage.

My skills still don't seem to work for the ancient species and I don't see the status.

If this Elfin was a troublemaker, it would be completely over.

"……… What's his name?

"" Morse of the Spirit Clan ""

"Morse of the Spirit Clan? Are you that strong?

To my question, Elfin shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"The other way around. The Spirit Clan was the most powerful of the five races. That is why there were so many who had comparable powers to Lelfa. But Morse was the weakest of them all. There is no protection that the Spirit clan has, no tough flesh like the Beast clan, no magic like the Fairy clan, no special power like the Demon clan or the Dragon clan. Morse was weak and small enough to even bridge the differences between races"

"Why would a guy like that be a pain in the ass?

From different worlds, it was a relfa who broke away from bringing me here. Though I don't think I'd be wary of him like that.

"The Spirit Clan had a small number of individuals, but its power as an individual was the strongest in the world. Therefore, they did little to learn. Using all their power was their means and everything. Because I could fix it with that. The only thing they had was a push. But Morse is different."

"…… that you could have used your wisdom?

Elfin nodded and drew a square in the universe of nothing.

The squares spread wide after flashing a few times, big enough to cover me completely.

As Elfin played his finger, a map floated in the square. I know it's a map of Fortuna. But it's bigger than the continent I know.

"Once the continent was bigger than it is now. And there lived the ancient species. At that time there were some human beings, but the numbers were so small that they could not be compared to the present"

"Why is the continent in its present form?

"There was a war. It's enough war to even change the terrain. Many of the ancient species required immense magic to preserve the mirage. So it was a battle over a land of magic."

The continent in the square gradually changes shape.

Some places suddenly disappear, others take the time to disappear.

Eventually, it turned into something closer to the continent today.

"It was too late when I realized my mistake. The fairies only had a population left to the extent of keeping small settlements, and other races were similar things."

"So you put constraints on the ancient species so they couldn't attack each other?

"That's right. But it was Morse who mentioned the constraint. The Spirit Clan had left Morse to be wiped out, and we did not doubt Morse's words. And when that constraint was made, I knew the power of Morse"

Elfin plays his finger again.

It was a sight where the inside of the square turned gallery and watched the troops from above.

"This?

"The Morse army. Morse was exploring the secrets of each race while the war was going on, creating a forbidden technique."

"Forbidden technique?

"Yes. An area where you should never get your hands on.“ Resurrection of the dead. "

Resurrection of the dead.

I don't have to wonder if that's possible, but I know something similar.

It's me.

I did die once and then resurrected in such a way that I could share Dear Dio's soul.

There is no such thing as being unable to do.

"It was also Morse who was manipulating the war from behind. Morse sparked a war to complete the moratorium on resurrection of the dead, and to increase the number of resurrectors after completion."

"So this army is an ancient species that died in the war?

"That's right. However, the technique was in the process of development at this time. The resurrected dead had no self, and their power was much inferior to that of their lifetime. So somehow we were able to counter it. constraints prevented us from defeating Morse, but succeeded in sealing it"

"And the seal was unsealed."

Elfin nodded, playing his fingers, erasing the square screen.

The reason Relfa didn't explain it was because there was nothing I could do about it where I said it?

I just found out Morse is pulling threads in the back, and if he gets attacked, there's no way he won't fight. When it comes to not bringing extra stray into the fight, sometimes it's better not to know.

But I can't deal with it if I don't know. And if I know, I can deal with it, and I see different connections.

"Lelfa thought about using humans to kill Morse, and Morse thought the same thing. Is Stratos behind Morse's fingers?"

"You should think so. Yuri Stratos is a distant descendant of a human being whom I preached witchcraft. A" clan of betrayal "with a morse-like evil in its heart. It's no wonder they put it in."

Nodding at Elfin's words, I remembered being hooked on Elfin's words.

I told her about the magic, Elfin said.

The five famous houses of Albion. That is what I call the three Grand Dukes' houses, the current Duke Royal Family and the five houses that have added another. And in so doing, the three Dukes and the Duke Royal Family are the ancestors of magic that lasted longer than they were when Albion was founded.

Those who taught them magic were said to be ancient species, and many called them "wise men of ancient species” to respect them.

"Are you talking about the wise man of the ancient species?

"That's what people have called me. A fool who did not rightly guide his disciples, even though he was described as a wise man."

"Is that the ancestor of Stratos?"

"That's right. He was not a child full of talent. However, he excelled in the application of witchcraft and had different ideas. That's why I thought of such stupid things as manipulating people."

Elfin lay her eyes down and groaned sadly.

But I'm sorry, but I'm not interested in Elfin's regrets.

"Why do you have offspring left? Didn't you kill him then?

"The judgment that a person makes to a person must be decided by the person. The only sentence handed down to him and his clan was expulsion from Albion. His sorcery was sealed by me, but I kept it only for him because the descendants had no sin"

"Don't do the right thing for me. Thanks to you, it's a disaster."

"Don't say that. I'm sorry, I bent the verse, I'm here to see you."

Elfin laughed bitterly after he left.

I appreciate it, but I don't feel like thanking you. If this man had dealt with it well, there would not have been Stratos in this day and age.

Someone who didn't have to suffer suffered. We need a lot of cooperation.

"After I taught witchcraft as a technique to protect myself from warcraft, I decided not to interfere with people. Knowledge and technology conveyed by ancient species easily drives people crazy. Because that's what I found out."

"But he came to see me. Because of my own decision not to involve people, I can't involve people in Albion. Naturally, Stratos cannot be eliminated either. That's why he came into contact with me, an associate of Lelfa's. To make you eliminate Stratos in your place."

"Exactly. I'm trying to use you."

When people say that they are trying to use it lightly, it is difficult to react.

Whether it is used or not, my purpose is consistent with that of Elfin.

Nothing changes what needs to be done.

However, they are used for free. Besides, the situation is tough. Without Elfin's help, you wouldn't be able to get to the results I want.

"In return?

"From time to time, let me give you some information. I can see everything about Albion. I know all the movements of Stratos and all the movements of your side."

"That's not bad. But can I defeat Stratos if I do just that?

If you analyze it calmly, my condition right now is a royal state called chess.

It's no different than having a sword stuck to your throat. Where some information was brought there, the situation remains unchanged.

It's a situation where you get stabbed before you think about it. It takes “strength” to break this.

"Admit your weakness…. Fine. I'll give you what you want. [M] What do you want? With what, you can save this country?

"Of my eyes... teach me how to control this magic. Originally, it made sense to get that knowledge, and I'm here in Albion."

"You're out big. That's what Lelfa didn't teach you. You think I'll teach you?

"Come on. I'll leave that to you. I'll do everything I can, but if that's not enough, I don't know, okay? I won't be in the world then."

Elfin meditated deeply on my words and eventually sighed like he'd given up.

"Fine. Anyway, I need your magic in fighting Morse. But I don't treat wizards like people. If anything drowns in power, I'll wipe you out of this world."

"I don't mind. I'll leave it to you to judge. What matters to me is" now. "

"I hope you won't drown in your power. I'm going now. Until this one makes contact, it won't move around much. Stratos can always take you back."

What Elfin's words would mean would be that they are also out of place.

The presence of Master Al may also be distorted.

Are you going to let me swim flat? I can afford it.

"Let's leave one complaint after the advice."

"What is it?"

"If you were to make a“ fake ”of my work, couldn't you make it a little better?

To Elfin's words, I gave a big face.

Was it just broken? I asked Charlotte to build it in Ferenol, so I can't help it.

Well, Elfin can't help it.

If only I could fool the others.
