Chapter 90: Their Respective Directions (End of Volume 2)
The day after Emperor Kodev III's proclamation, the Republic of All Nations welcomed three emissaries from the Holy Church of Yae. γFengyun Reading Network. γ
Since Kilgaru did not have a palace of his own, in order not to make the first inter-state conversation after the establishment of the kingdom look too shabby, the place for receiving the envoys was chosen in the main palace of the Duchy of Basol.
Kirgaru wore a gorgeous costume that had been improvised by the royal tailor, and due to the tight time, some details were not handled perfectly, but the majesty of the king was already roughly presented.
Behind Kilgaru stood Skeletron, who served as the king's bodyguard, and on the right stood the four men of Sack, Ethreth, Geaus, and Marosas, while on the left were Kodev III, Ossaith, and Lanka. Since Kodev III was also a king, a seat was arranged for him on the side of the throne.
As the palace door was opened, the three messengers of the Church slowly walked in as if they were walking.
"This is the Emperor of the Republic of All Races - His Majesty Kilgaru!"
Kordev III pointed to the throne that belonged to him and introduced it to the three people who had come to meet him.
Since the Duchy of Basol had joined the Republic of All Nations and became a vassal state, King Kodev III became a vassal in front of Kilgaru. Although he didn't feel any awkwardness from Kodev III's expression and tone, he must have felt quite uncomfortable in his heart at the moment.
"Emperor?"
The old man among the three showed a puzzled expression, judging from the position of the three, he should be the highest status among the three. Of course, sharp-eyed people will also see this from the costumes of the three people, although all three are wearing the same style of white and green uniforms, but there are obvious differences in the patterns on them. The two people standing in the back had a pattern of eight wings on their clothes, while the pattern on the old man's clothes was eleven wings.
"'Emperor' means ruler, and in order to distinguish it from the kings of the member countries, the kings of the republics of all nations are called 'emperors.'"
Kodev III explained with a smile.
The term Emperor was coined by Kilgaru, and there was no such term in the original name of this world, so it is understandable that it would be confusing.
"I'm sorry to excuse me, I'm the Fifth Bishop of the Holy Sect of Jesus!"
The old man saluted a little perfunctorily and said in an extremely arrogant tone. Although he seems to be the same age as Prime Minister Ossais, he speaks more like a young man with strong blood, without the calmness and indifference of an old man. His hair and beard were meticulously braided, and his ten fingers wore rings that exuded different magical aura, all of which were supposed to be quite powerful magical equipment.
The Holy Church of Jesus is divided into six classes: the pope, the bishop, the deacon, the clergy, the monk, and the faithful. There are eight bishops, each in charge of different affairs, and is second only to the pope in a high position.
Kordev III, who had some knowledge of the system of the Church, had a look of respect on his face after hearing about the identity of the other party.
"Then what is the reason why Your Excellency Bishop has come to our kingdom of the Republic of All Races?"
"I'm here to meet the rumored King of Monsters, and on the other hand, I want to inform you in advance that the fleet of the Cult will arrive in five days, and we will take away those who are willing to leave this country, and I hope you will not stop you."
Although it was hopeful, Gisketon's tone was more like a warning.
If all the human beings in the country leave, the so-called Republic of All Races will become a monster kingdom in essence, and this practice of the Church Kingdom is obviously a mockery of the idea of the coexistence of various races.
"Your Excellency! This may seriously affect the relationship between the two countries, so please think about it! β
The undisguised and blatant statement of this malicious act made Kodev III feel very angry.
"Young man, I don't think so, the church country does not recognize any republic kingdom in the first place, where does the relationship between the two countries come from?"
Giskton let out an arrogant laugh as he looked at the King of Monsters, who had not spoken a word until now. This act has obviously gone beyond the realm of impudence to the point of blatant provocation, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is even a letter of war issued by the Church against the republican kingdom.
"You!"
Kodev III's face flushed with anger, and he looked up at Kilgaru to confirm his reaction, but his skeletal cheeks didn't change, so he couldn't pick up any information from his facial expressions.
What exactly is in Kilgaru's heart? Kodev III became anxious. Before the meeting began, Kilgaru patted himself on the shoulder and said, "You'll be able to answer for me later." β
Although this sentence may sound like a great trust in Kodev III, it is not so simple to the thoughtful Kodev III.
This sentence is actually a temptation for oneself.
If you are really stupid enough to talk to the audience exactly what you want, then you have fallen for Kilgaru's plan. The reason why Kilgaru wants to let himself speak in his place is to see if his heart really agrees with his ideas, to see if he really agrees with his thoughts.
If it were an ordinary human, Kodev III would naturally be confident that he would be able to accurately grasp his heart through the subtle changes in his expression, but Kirgaru had no expression at all, this monster was simply too cunning, and he had to be very careful with every word he said, so that Kilgaru could not see any flaws.
This monster's cunning may not be below him.
Sweat oozed from the forehead of Kodev III, who judged it in this way.
However, the truth of the matter is not the case, the reason why Kilgaru asked Kodev III to speak in his place is simply because he does not know the world very well, and is afraid that as the head of a country, he will make a low-level mistake in the conversation.
"Your sect is inevitably too deceitful!"
Kodev III stood up angrily, unsure if Kilgaru was still going to talk, and thought it would be better to simply show his anger at this point.
Monsters such as Zac and Skeletron also showed hostility, and the hall was filled with a sinister atmosphere of saber rattling.
As if waiting for this moment, Giskton moved his fingers and smiled insincerely, and the two men behind him flashed their weapons at the same time.
Just when everyone thought that a war was inevitable, Kilgaru let out a hearty laugh.
"Hahahaha, if that's all you're here for, then you can go back. It is their freedom to go wherever the people want, and I have no right to interfere. β
"What kind of king of monsters, it's just that, then we will take over your people!"
Giskton said in a tone of extreme contempt.
"Ah, thank you, Your Excellency, why don't you stay for lunch?"
However, Kilgaru did not show the slightest anger, and nodded in a relaxed tone.
"Hmph, no need, let's go!"
Giskton coldly dropped a sentence and turned and walked out.
"Your Majesty the Emperor, this is inevitably too indulgent for them."
After Giskton left, Kodev III said with a frown.
"Yes, Lord Kilgaru, we don't have to fear them at all!"
"If they dare to come, we will destroy them!"
The monsters also spoke angrily.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I understand everyone's feelings, but I think the Church Nation's actions have done us a great favor. What I need is someone who truly agrees with my philosophy, if those who do not agree with me are allowed to hide in the country, it will inevitably become a danger in the future, it is better to take this opportunity to let them go, it is undoubtedly a good thing for the Republic Kingdom. β
Kilgaru made a gesture to silence everyone and said in a pleasant tone.
"Lord Bishop, that monster king didn't even react to such a provocation, it seems that he was shocked by the name of our sect, and there is no need to worry at all."
After leaving the palace, one of the War Priests who followed behind Giskton said proudly.
"No, this Kirgaru is more calm than I thought, originally I wanted to provoke them, as long as they attacked, I could ask the Pope to conduct a holy war in the name of great danger, but he was not fooled at all, this Republic of All Races may become the biggest enemy of the Church in the future!"
Giskton stroked his beard and let out a heavy sigh.
Ilr sat on top of the ruined city walls, watching the children frolicking in the distance, while the nine-pointed star lay meekly beside him basking in the sun.
When the war began, he traveled to the fortress to protect those who had come to take refuge. The fortress city was attacked by the centaurs, and many of the militia died in the battle, and if it hadn't been for the Goblin troops led by Sack in time, they might have died in that battle.
He was sold as a commodity since he was a child, and was later taken with him as a reincarnation vessel for Vyside, and only when he met Kilgaru did he have a decent life.
Witnessing the cruelty of war and the suffering of people, especially the experience of the Seven Eagles, who had given him the warmth of his family, made him feel unprecedented sadness in his heart. The fighting here is over, but is the fighting just starting elsewhere? Such tragedies may be happening every day, but what should you do for this chaotic world?
Just as Il was deep in thought, a familiar voice sounded softly.
"Il, why are you sitting here alone?"
Dressed in gorgeous costumes, Kilgaru slowly descended from the sky and sat down beside him, and the nine-pointed star jumped up excitedly when he saw Kilgaru, rubbing his nine heads against him.
"Thank you, Lord Kilgaru, for your concern, my injuries are almost healed."
Il barely squeezed out a smile.
"Ah, it hurts! What are you doing, Lord Kirgaru! β
Kilgaru stretched out his finger and flicked it on Il's forehead without warning.
"Haven't you been like a fool all the time, why are you so deep today? Sick? β
"I'm an optimist, what do you mean by being like a fool, and Lord Kilgaru is too much!"
Il's cheeks puffed out, revealing an angry look.
"Hahahaha, but you shouldn't get sick, it's said that fools don't get sick."
Ignoring Il's protests, Kilgaru continued to joke.
"Lord Kilgaru!"
Il couldn't help but laugh after screaming.
After the laughter between the two stopped, Kilgaru seemed to think of something and let out a sound of surprise.
"Il, you shouldn't be in love!"
"How, how is it possible!"
Il shook his hand, his cheeks flushed instantly.
"Ah, it looks suspicious."
Kirgaru leaned his face in front of Il, scrutinizing it with his empty eyes.
"Lord Kilgaru, please don't get so close to me, you look really scary like this."
Il's expression of disgust turned grimacing, and then his expression turned serious.
"Well, Lord Kilgaru, if, I mean, if I want to go out and do a little bit of travel, will you allow it?"
Yir said cautiously.
"Il-kid, that's your freedom, without my permission at all."
"But, but I'm Lord Kilgaru's servant, I should ......"
Before Il could finish his sentence, he was blocked by an outstretched finger, perhaps a phalange.
"Il, you are not my servant, and neither are you my servants, but you are all my cherished companions. All life comes into this world to find love and freedom, so go if you want to travel, the doors of this country are always open for you. β
Kirgaru patted Il's shoulder and said softly.
"Lord Kilgaru, thank you!"
Kilgaru's words flowed through Il's heart like a warm current, and finally turned into tears in his eyes.
A few days later, Il was on his own, but it was this step that completely changed the existing adventurer mechanic, which of course would be many years later.
Let's end the second volume with this chapter.,Actually, Sack, Aceles, their battles with the jackals.γThe centaurs.,And the battle of Il's to defend the fortress city didn't have time to write.,Because I think it's too long to write these contents after the end of the ogre war.,So this part of the content will be shown to you in the form of a side story.γ
