chapter 23
23 – The hero obtained divine power. (2)
I carefully opened the golden book.
[Aucklea’s Spring]
[There was once a time in Aucklea where golden autumn fields were spread out.
Those who have not forgotten that brilliant era have passed down the heyday of Aucklia to their children through word of mouth.
The residents of Aucklia are waiting for a golden age that has already become legendary.
A superman who will come along with the spring breeze that will melt the frozen earth.]
“Ow….”
The moment I caught the words in my eyes, the book that had felt the weight until just now was scattered like a mirage.
ㅡ Do you know what kind of ability it is?
“The ability to read information from the Akashic Records on a limited basis.”
When an ordinary human reads the information contained in the Cradle of Stars, his brain explodes.
The holy sword provided a way to read information, albeit limitedly, for me, who still lacked the ability.
That was just that golden shiny book.
The condition is to use the power of the holy sword while remembering the specific and limited information I want.
I asked for information about a simple idiom that has been mentioned many times before: ‘Aucklea’s Spring’.
Aucklea’s Spring.
It was a brilliant period that Aucklia lost.
And it was an idiom waiting for a savior who would one day melt this frozen land.
This expression is also used for a welcome guest, but at Aucklia this expression seems to be the highest level of praise.
I think it’s just a matter of judging that it’s at the level of ‘I’m glad the Savior has come’.
Aww, I think that’s an exaggerated expression for me.
If you show me like this, I’ll have to repay you.
ㅡ What are you doing?
I’m thinking of revising Volume 3 a bit.
ㅡ Have you finished writing?
I need to add the power of PPL for Oklea.
I need to describe the clothes and accessories of Romeo and Juliet in a little more detail, which I described a little briefly.
Then it will help sell goods even a little bit.
ㅡ Do it in moderation.
I know.
Even in Korea, if there were too many PPLs in a drama, I would get kicked out.
I revised the 3rd volume and prepared the 4th volume.
At the same time, I prepared a play to be presented to Viscount Leonard, who for some reason seems to be meeting again in the near future.
Unlike before, there was no pressure.
Even if the manuscript is a little messy, the scribes A (Aidan) and B (Breed) introduced by Jason will transcribe it for you to recognize.
There was even a divine power.
It was unintentional, but it is said that an environment where canning is possible voluntarily has been established.
I frantically wrote the story.
Of course, I didn’t forget to visit Reina when the story got stuck.
“You seem to be faster than before.”
Reina made a surprised expression as she saw the manuscript, which had increased enormously in a short time.
“Because I leveled up. Voila!”
I reached out to Reina and unleashed her divine power.
“Jin, you are a hero….”
No, so what did you think so far?
ㅡ That’s….
I didn’t ask Helena.
“There will come a day when the scenery seen here will change.”
Reina, who was reading the manuscript I had written, looked out the window blankly.
The place Raina was looking at was the site where the theme park for ‘Oh My Lady’ was under construction.
“Is there really a place called the academy where people go?”
“Yes. It will be used as an educational institution.”
In Lady’s background, only aristocrats attend the academy.
Originally, the rule of the country in academies was a way for commoners and aristocrats to go together, which caused friction, but this was a world with a class system, so it was impossible to portray such a challenge.
Still, the door of learning is open to anyone.
It seems that Prince Albert was also quite aware of the importance of learning, and he even prepared an academy for commoners to attend.
Of course, it doesn’t seem that easy.
Students attending the academy are at an age when they will begin their economic activities in full swing by the standards of this world.
There aren’t that many commoners who would send such valuable talent to an unknown educational institution.
“Do you know when you start accepting students?”
“I think the construction will be finished within this year, but it should probably start next spring.”
Even if the site is prepared and the building is built, there must be people to go back.
We need to gather faculty members to teach students, and we need to publicize the opening of the academy.
“At this point, I think we can add an Academy ad when we release Lady.”
When I said that, Reina stared blankly out of her window.
It felt like I was feeling a little drowsy.
“Me, the warrior.”
“I’m going to leave for today. Good night.”
“Yes… Have a good day.”
I finished the manuscript and left the room.
ㅡ It must be complicated.
… Also, right?
Girls of the same age attend the academy and live a happy school life.
But Reina, who loves Lady more than anyone else, can’t attend.
Maybe it’s a more complicated feeling than I thought.
I decided to go back to my room.
I was going back to my room like that, but for some reason the castle was more noisy than usual.
What is it?
I decided to grab a servant who was passing by and ask what was going on.
“We are preparing for an expedition to subdue monsters.”
“Subjugating monsters?”
“Yes. They are usually organized in the fall, but they said they are in a hurry to establish the academy.”
“Thank you.”
A monster subjugation?
Isn’t this an opportunity?
ㅡ Are you going to build up your karma?
Yes. So what can you do more than now?
ㅡ I guess so. But is it dangerous?
High risk, high return.
ㅡ I overlooked the most important point. Neither Angelica nor Albert will ever organize you into a punitive force.
… Could it be?
ㅡ Should I bet?
It’s really difficult when it comes out like this….
I decided to come up with a way to convince Sir Louis and Prince Albert.
***
The biggest reason I can’t participate in the punitive force is safety.
Then, as long as the safety issues are resolved, you can participate without any problems.
I decided to visit the saintess who is staying at the annex of the royal castle.
“God bless the saints.”
“God bless the saintess.”
“What are you doing here today?”
The Pope and the Saint are like that, and somehow they seem to be from Gyeongsang Province.
‘Simple business!’
“I need the power of the Holy Kingdom.”
“… Are you planning to attend the monster subjugation?”
You are quick-witted.
“Yes. I want to join the punitive force, but I think I will face opposition if I say I will go alone.”
“You are a clever man.”
The reaction is not very pleasant.
ㅡ Isn’t that half a threat?
Isn’t it?
I was worried about the safety of the warrior, so I made an excuse and came, but the warrior said he would crawl into his limbs on his own.
So if you don’t want to see the warrior die, give me a paladin.
Maybe it’s only natural that favorability plummeted.
“Paladins will like it.”
The saintess put a bitter smile on her lips.
“Saints should think a little more about where you are before moving.”
It sounded like a mild but somehow heartfelt scolding.
“… I will be careful in the future.”
“However, I think that the saints who stepped forward out of concern for the safety of the soldiers are, after all, God’s agents.”
I’m sorry.
I didn’t think that deep… !
After giving thanks to the saintess, I decided to visit Sir Louis.
Then I also brought up the idea of joining the monster subjugation team.
“No.”
I knew it would turn out like that.
“The Paladins said they would escort you if it was a matter of safety.”
“Are you kidding me?”
Sir Lewis’ accent was the same as usual.
However, I felt a vicious momentum that made me backtrack without even realizing it.
I was angry.
That too was beyond the critical point.
“Lord Bright, why are you doing this reckless thing?”
“I am a warrior… ,”
“This is no joke.”
Sir Lewis was adamant.
You sweet pumpkin-like person~
ㅡ Do you want to play a prank at a moment like this?
Wouldn’t it be okay to hit it in this situation?
“Sir Lewis, please watch over me.”
“Now say that!”
Sir Lewis tried to raise his voice, but then looked around and lowered his voice.
“Bright Ball needs a little more understanding of his position.”
“Location?”
“Spring has arrived in Oaklea. Can’t you see that scene?”
Looking at the direction Sir Lewis pointed, I saw residents sweating at the construction site.
There were children running around beside them, and women chatting in front of the door.
What they have in common is that they all have gorgeous flowers blooming around their mouths.
“You made it. I mean, Lord Bright is an indispensable and precious person in this country.”
“Sir Lewis.”
I looked at the direction Sir Lewis pointed and opened his mouth.
“I didn’t say that I would go because I had the courage of a legendary warrior.”
“Did you need a subject for a story?”
“No.”
“You don’t have to feel guilty.”
“Not even that. Just… Because I’m scared.”
“… Yes?”
“It’s scary. I’m afraid that the person I laughed with and chatted with until yesterday becomes someone who has no tomorrow.”
I feel like I’m going to get beaten up if I mention that I’m going to get a job.
So I decided to take the weight seriously.
“I know that you are being forced. Because I know where I am. So, I consulted with the saintess beforehand.”
“Even with the help of the Holy Kingdom, there may be an emergency.”
“I have a way to protect myself.”
Sir Lewis looked me in the eye, then shook his head with a sigh.
“I don’t think you are lying.”
Sir Lewis, first, second, and third, said that my life is the top priority, and he kept nagging me all the way back to the castle.
Are you a mother, you bastard?
Sir Lewis may unexpectedly become overprotective when he has children… ?
ㅡ Is it s*xual harassment?
Are you crazy?
Anyway, this is a very important opportunity for me.
If the academy is established, it will be impossible to accumulate karma by defeating monsters.
If the opportunity comes, don’t miss it!
I thanked Sir Louis and went to visit Prince Albert.
