Omniscient First-Person’s Viewpoint

The moment he pretended to stab, the tip of the knife turned black and soon crumbled like dust. In an instant, the dagger made from the beast’s tusks disappeared leaving only a leather handle behind.

“How are you?”

My money in dust? Does Jannok’s power shatter beast teeth? What… How did such talented people come from all over the world?

I hurriedly retreated, throwing the leather handle in case something else would break. At that time, the regressor who had been watching this side gave a sharp warning.

“Jannok Hoeju. Don’t misuse your abilities. You could die.”

Seriously. Life is aiming at Peru’s throat. Since the angels of heaven and jizan do not rust with authority, even Peru will not be able to block the attack of the regressor.

However, Peru remained calm even before dying.

“…Kill. Anyway I… Coke. I can’t because I don’t have it.”

‘…If I use my strength, the material for the golden mirror will disappear… Even if a war breaks out, I won’t be able to wear it. The ability to only destroy is worthless…’

Even in the middle of enemy lines, he is stubborn. Rather than loyalty, it was a feeling closer to desperation, so it seemed more difficult to change.

The regressor clicked his tongue.

“Sheesh. Hughes. I can’t even threaten you with a knife.”

“Then can I threaten you with money? Peru If you cooperate with us, we will give you half of the nations. You will be rich.”

“… Coke! I do not need.”

Come to think of it, even if you have money, you can’t use it well because it’s broken? hmm hard People who have nothing are the scariest. Neither a knife nor money works for Peru, who practices acquired non-possession.

No matter how much I read my mind, there is no answer. If you are a human being, it is normal for your mind to be shaken by either the sword or the money. I grumbled.

“Not even a knife. Not even money. Why are you so loyal to the golden mirror? It looks like they don’t even pay a salary.”

“…it’s not a matter of good or bad. The food of this land. The truth of alchemy. All of the nations originated from the Golden Sutra. He is all of the nations… you will not understand.”

Hwang Hwang-gyeong herself seems to be living in a golden country, but anyway, including that country, it’s all countries. Faced with an impasse, I scratched my head.

Peru is not greedy. The problem is that this is a rationally rational result, unlike faith or belief.

The concept of owning is thin for Peru, which crushes everything. It is unconditionally advantageous to gain popularity by giving to others rather than what you have. If you use unique magic, everything you have will be a piece of toilet paper.

It is a valid and rational way of survival based on human sociality. Therefore, I cannot deny or correct that method. In other words, in the current situation, I have no ability to persuade Peru.

“What is the golden mirror?”

It was when I grumbled. There was a distinctly suspicious presence on the ground. We all kept our mouths shut as if we had promised, but the crowd walked around for no reason and headed towards the entrance.

The regressor grabbed the cherry tree and stood up.

“Sheesh! You must have been caught talking!”

“This is all because of Peru’s cough! Oh no way! On purpose to give clues that the cough is here too!”

“… Coke. The cough is because of you…”

“Didn’t all three of you raise your voice?”

Everyone chatted and glared at the hole leading to the ground. The entrance is covered with dirt and grass, but if you look closely, you won’t find anything. While exchanging opinions with stiff faces, a familiar voice leaked through the gap in the entrance.

“Smart smart~. Are you there? Peace messengers from military countries~?”

It was Hilde.

Well, I knew it because I read the thoughts.

Hilde naturally slipped through the gap at the entrance. Seeing that carefree face, the regressor asked disapprovingly.

“How did you know and find it?”

“The corn you plowed through was pointing here like a compass? Even with ‘my’ basic tracking technique, it’s obvious! It was so blatant that I was so nervous that it might be a fake trace!”

“He’s really good at catching stars.”

“I should have said it was great. Shay is disingenuous!”

“I never thought so!”

Hilde smiled and turned around and spoke in a theatrical style.

“More than that, you guys are in trouble. The golden gore is making weapons! It seems that he is seriously preparing for war!”

“weapon?”

“yes! For example, something like this!”

Hilde smiled lightly and stretched out her hand toward the entrance. He grabbed onto something he had left outside and pulled it down as hard as he could. The pile of dirt collapsed and the armor with a rough metal texture was dragged down.

Gaiters, helmets, breastplates, and even gauntlets. The armor made separately for each part was separated and rolled on the ground. A crackling sound was deafening.

“It’s plate armor.”

“yes! It’s full body armor! It was so hard that I could only crush it with ‘my’ power! Are there any more armors that are this amazing!”

In a fight between armor and bare hands, it is natural for the armor to win, but it is different if the opponent is a master of qigong. Wearing a pore makes the body as hard as steel, and there is also a technique to destroy iron by infiltrating the pore.

Therefore, if it is only to be distorted even under the attack of Yukjangseong, a master who has reached the state and the strongest power of the military, it would not be enough to call that armor the treasure of the century.

Still, armor like that couldn’t be common. Considering the high-quality alchemy steel and the smelting technology, it would cost a castle to make one suit… only.

“These armors are lined up like corn in a cornfield!”

To the golden goblet that drank from alchemy, it was nothing more than corn. Or maybe even easier than corn.

“It’s not just this. weapon mount. Every single one of them had nasty things lying on the floor. I think Golden Kyung intends to build a huge arsenal beyond this corn field. I guess… it must have been something to use a weapon for, right?”

Not to mention. Because Elric declared that he would start a war.

Hilde raised and dropped the gauntlet and interrogated the regressor.

“Didn’t ‘we’ go there to negotiate peace? How could this be? As the peace envoy of the military, can you briefly explain?”

“I will explain that.”

Since the regressor wasn’t together from the beginning, he probably wouldn’t know what happened. Instead, I briefly explained what had happened in the Golden Palace. Elric to continue the war. A golden mirror that agrees with him. The homunculus came out one after another. And even the last escape film.

After hearing all of this, Hilde scratched her head and smiled as if in trouble.

“Ahaha. After all, the truce was too much~. That’s a big deal. If Hwanggeumgyeong prepares for war from now on, will the planned strategy go awry?”

“Operations?”

“Yes. Mobile warfare using military signal soldiers. It was to break through and break the shallow ties of the lords, cause chaos, occupy each area, and eventually advance to Claudia~”

Hilde sighed imprisoned and twisted her hair in lamentation.

“It’s a big deal. If Hwanggeumgyeong collects hoeju, the posture of the nations will not be easy. If a war breaks out like this, it will be an all-out war. There will be huge losses on both sides of the army and the nations. ha. What should I do with this?”

Hilde’s words represented the position of the military. He was a peace envoy, so he missed the golden time. It was planted to the point of awareness. Hilde’s words are cute, but if you put these losses into numbers, they’ll be staggering.

The regressor, who suddenly became a victim of torture, slurred his words.

“Uh…that’s it.”

“are you okay. Don’t beat yourself up too much guys! Because you have a way to undo this great failure!”

As if she knew it would happen from the beginning, Hilde replied with a grin.

“If there is a war, it must end someday, right? Of course, it would be better to finish quickly with overwhelming power. That way you’ll die less and consume less. However, the power of the military was gradually reduced by Shay and everyone else. Mobility, one of my few strengths, was also lost because you pointed your sword at the headquarters and threatened me.”

The reason why the regressor attacked the military was to prevent a war that would be the starting point of chaos. However, if you fail to persuade the nations, you are on the side of the nations even if you don’t intend to.

This is clearly the fault of the regressor who threatened the military under the pretext of a ceasefire.

Hilde emphasized that point and continued.

“However, if everyone participates in the battle, the balance will be right!”

If you do something, take responsibility. Hilde pressed the regressor with a smile.

“Please join the war on the military side. You don’t have to do chores, just defeat the enemy commander! Isn’t that an unreasonable demand? You recruited the musketeers and defeated the soldiers even in the military, so it’s rather a fair act! In the language of the nations, it should be said that the eyes are on the scales!”

Hilde proudly demanded it as if she were a debtor.

Even so, he was a regressor who aimed his sword at the heart of the headquarters. There was a greater purpose, but if there was no personal hostility to the military, I would not have chosen the method of attacking. The regressor felt a sense of rejection and replied.

“To become a soldier in the military?”

“I’m not asking you to commission me, just come in as a mercenary! If your strength and the military strategy are combined, you will be able to easily defeat the corps led by the golden mirror! Wouldn’t a quick end to the war achieved with overwhelming force be true peace?”

When he revealed his true colors, he was the best in clearing water. It was different from the passive attitude he had taken so far.

Hilde has been with us from the beginning to represent the interests of the military. I came to the peace talks because I was worried that the returnees would sign an armistice and only conclude an agreement unfavorable to the military. However, the person who should be more sensitive to the interests of the military than anyone else was taking the same attitude as a bystander.

The reason was revealed only now, when the armistice agreement had returned to nothing.

“Did you aim for that from the beginning?”

“It’s a little bit like I was aiming for it, right? If you’re a diplomatic envoy, you have to keep in mind the case of failure, right? ‘I’ just did ‘my duty’!”

‘Actually, I did! From the point of view of the military, a certain victory is better than an ambiguous peace! Furthermore, if you capture the human king, the vampire queen will follow you? It’s so trembling!’

The king of men is treated like trash. Well, since I lost all my strength, I’m just an ordinary citizen 1.

Although they are saying it around the corner, the underlying intention is explicit. Even the regressor now recognized Hilde’s true intentions.

“Do you know that I can move according to your will?”

“There is also a way to escape without taking responsibility! Even if tens of thousands die, I won’t know. I tried with a good heart, but it’s a shame because I failed. Do you know what to do next? If you confiscate your face and leave, stop!”

Words say it’s a method, but in fact, it’s an irresponsible and shameless person to criticize. Every time Hilde added something, the regressor’s expression crumpled.

Hilde, who had been sarcastic until she was about to make a mistake, narrowed her eyes and asked.

“But Shay, can I? Shouldn’t ‘you’ stop the war?”

Their eyes collide. The regressor glared at him fiercely, as if he was going to rush at it, but Hilde deflected his gaze with a sly smile.

‘No sane person would dare to stop a war. What kind of mission would Shay be on if he wasn’t a pure mad peace idiot? Just like the old ‘me’. If so, there’s no way you’re going to work and leave irresponsibly, right?’

That’s right, Hilde. Is it that you have to interpret the character first in order to play it?

look. Mind reading isn’t that useful? You can read other people’s minds to some extent just by spending a few days together.

If you stay with me a little longer, I’ll find out the other secrets of the regressor. Be careful.

‘Ego. What are you going to do? please tell me more Will you abandon your mission or come under the command of the military for the mission even if you don’t like it? Pretty curious!’

As Hilde watched with expectant eyes. The regressor pondered with his arms crossed.

‘I hate the military. I absolutely do not want to go under the command of the military and start a war. At least, it’s just massacring ordinary soldiers. The aftertaste is disgusting.’

‘Even so, I don’t want to throw everything away and run away like Yeong-Gwe said. You have to see this ending for the next episode. If we go all the way, how should we go?’

It is a characteristic of a regressor that the agony is not long. Once you’ve made your decision, move forward until it breaks. It’s possible because the next opportunity is given.

It was like that this time too. The regressor spoke before he could organize his thoughts.

“It’s not over yet.”

“yes?”

“Negotiating a truce. It’s not over yet.”

‘I know this is far-fetched. It won’t be easy. maybe die But… it might work. If I succeed, I will take one more step.’

All you need now is determination. The regressor said to himself, holding the Cheon-Ang and Ji-Zan tightly.

“As you did to the military, with a knife pointed at your throat.”

kya

There is nothing but admiration. I admire the fact that he calmly and wholeheartedly pursues that crazy thing. I admire him.
