Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Day After Tomorrow (Pseudo)

(Thanks to Bandaru for your tips and support)

Marked by the complete defeat of Didos, the monster disaster and the lethargy event ended here.

The county of Holm, which was the center of the vortex, should have been condemned by various forces, but because of a man who called himself "Sky Sword Saint", "Mage's Apex" by professionals, and "Dragon God" by ignorant people, he was actually only lively for a few days before gradually returning to order.

The Duchy of Nes was in a situation where the lord was weak and the servant was strong, and the civil war was a foregone conclusion because the Grand Duke had become a deposed person, the son of the Grand Duke had chosen the wrong camp, the Grand Duke's grandson was still young, and the capital troops had been severely damaged. There are many voices proposing that Lyle take over the power of the Duchy, but Lyle is not interested in this and is considering whether to take the opportunity to become independent.

The neighboring country decisively fell into the well, and the three princesses led the army to bite down a piece of territory, but the presence of Lyle brought more anxiety than the joy of victory in the war. It is unclear what the Three Princesses themselves have in mind, but the king has sent an envoy to try to persuade the Count to agree to her political marriage to Lyle.

The high-level of the religious country took a wait-and-see attitude, and the high priest of Balu divided the Holy Cult Army into two, one to assist the Holm army to clear the night seeds that had gone to the ground, and the other to enter the ruins to sweep away the remaining monsters, and everyone was very grateful for their efforts.

Under Lyle's arrangement, the elves moved to the forests near the lake to the west, and the dwarves moved to the mountains to the north to live in the real world. As for the tomb keepers, who have monsters in their entire group due to close relatives, it is really difficult to find a suitable place for them to survive on the ground, so they can only move from the royal tomb to the forest where the elves once lived to improve their living environment.

When everything is over, Ben finally accepts his origins and is determined to become a bridge between the grave keepers and humans, and by the way, he is looking for a way to eliminate the physical mutation of the descendants of his clan, and Nilou, a childhood sweetheart, expresses his willingness to work with him.

Paris and Autumna open a souvenir shop called "Prophecy Child", and the business is decent, at least they don't need to live in the attic. However, most of the tourists who come here say that they have never heard of the legend of Ban and want a souvenir of the "Dragon God".

After the incident, Rabon drifted away, continuing his wandering life with no end in sight. Maybe one day he will suddenly remember the fun of exploring with his juniors and return to this interesting place of Holm.

Fran naturally continued her original job, and Kiria did not mention that she had exceeded the agreed working hours, and continued to be a tsundere maid...... Ahem, the two were pulled into the room by Lyle in the middle of the night and performed an indescribable exercise. Regardless of whether there is a political marriage or not, true love must be a maid anyway.

Inlyre used the power of the dragon king to fight Dedos, and dragons from all over the world came to Holm to inquire about the situation, and Ida was excited to see her people, but in the end she did not choose to follow them. As for whether it was because of feelings for Lyle, or because Lyle had a sense of belonging because of the power that originally belonged to her, no one knows.

- A month later.

"Can't you really swap it? I can exchange the last lapis lazuli - Feia with you, and when I die, the temple will send someone to recover it, and it will not be inherited by my descendants. Lyle stared at the unsheathed holy sword in the hand of the Grand Priest of Balu, and said reluctantly.

Incidentally, Lyle fused six dragonstones into a dragonking stone and returned them to the original owner, Ada, leaving only one of the four secret stones with curse-like power, and the other three were given to Rabang, Ban, and Barusmus for safekeeping.

Ignoring a certain purebred mage's inexplicable interest in 'slashing people with cold weapons', Grand Priest Balu shook his head and said, "No...... Such a dangerous thing should have been kept by Lord Lyle. ”

According to the "Chronicle of the God Emperor" obtained from the mausoleum, Didos was only a genius in the ordinary sense before he met his wife, and only after obtaining the secret stone did he have the signs of becoming the first emperor of the unified world.

In other words, if someone learns the magic of the stars from the Secret Stone again, and has a way to use the energy in the Secret Stone directly like the Didos family, it is possible to give birth to the next Didos.

Lyle, who had learned the magic of the stars and proved that he had surpassed the power of the secret stones, was supposed to keep the four secret stones, but after consulting with the envoys sent by the temple higher-ups who didn't know if it was for selfish reasons or to spread the risk, he decided to take one by one.

"It's not dangerous, if you don't feel like you're ruining the sky, you can actually consider releasing the power of the secret stone slowly...... Wrong! Lyle suddenly reacted and frowned, "The point is this holy sword, I have already thought of making a display cabinet that continuously discharges, and the holy sword will be put inside to repeatedly cut off the thunder light, showing the fierce sword technique I used at that time!" ”

"............" The magician is either a fool or a madman, and the identification is complete.

Grand Priest Balu could only say dryly, "I'm sorry, but the Holy Sword is one of the most important treasures of the Temple. ”

“…… Well, it looks like you can only build a copycat holy sword yourself. "Lyle is not a strong man, and self-reliance has always been his good character.

Glancing at the equipment on the bodies of Fran and Kiria, who were standing behind Lyle on the left and right, Grand Priest Balu would not take this as a joke: "Your Excellency Lyle, now that the crisis has passed, can you consider slowing down a little?" ”

The Religious Nation is not against the use of magic, and the High Priest of Baru, who is himself a magical swordsman, only opposes magic that is considered 'evil' and 'too dangerous', and Lyle's actions are enough to wary them.

"I told you...... If it weren't for the information about Didos, I would be on Teoro's side. I intend to use magic technology to make the county of Holm the richest territory in the world, and it is impossible to slow down, it depends on whether you can catch up with it yourself. Lyle shook his head and laughed.

In fact, in the process of exploring the ruins, he received countless inspirations, but the situation forced him to turn them into physical objects.

"............" This is not the answer that Grand Priest Balu wants.

Fortunately, Lyle's words were a little more pleasant than Teoro's, at least it was not 'reaching the realm of gods', but just for the sake of territorial wealth.

Lyle added, "Please rest assured, I will not study any immortal magic, the secret art of sealing children in stones, the curse of turning children into their own puppets, I have always pursued a life of [being able to die with my chest up]. ”

"Very good faith." Grand Priest Balu nodded heavily, for the first time he was on the same page as Lyle.

"If Didos knew that, it wouldn't have been that much...... Needless to say, Grand Priest Balu, I wish you all the best in your return, and if there is any big trouble in the temple in the future, I can help you. With a wave of his hand, Lyle turned and led the maids into the city gate.

“…… Remember this promise, which is worth more than the holy sword in my hand. "The High Priest of Balu gave a word of advice to his men, and then led the glorious Holy Cult army westward, leaving the land of hope. (Recommended reading: Reading Files 2013)
