Academy’s Weapon Replicator

Chapter 147 Nastrond (6)

A meeting was held in the Terst Empire.

A meeting convening all the Zodiacs, promising professionals, and high-ranking nobles.

The scale of this was comparable to the last Mangot War,

One person is not here.

Frontier de Roach.

The man who gave strategy and deployment orders to everyone in front of the conference room. He was not here.

Instead, another person entered the conference room.

“My name is Elodie de Inies Richaera.”

The person who entered spoke in front of everyone. Long ago, at the very spot where Frontier stood.

“Your Majesty, Her Highness the Empress, and everyone here who has been the light of the empire. “I’m here because I have something to tell you.”

Everyone gathered in the conference room sees Elodie.

However, the gaze is not pretty.

‘Inies.’

A child loved by the five gods.

A girl who was once a promising star comparable to Aster and the light of the empire more than anyone else.

However, he is a traitor who left this continent following the demon Frontier.

“The gods will come.”

Elodie said, meeting their gazes.

“God regards humans as enemies, and wants to come down to this earth and ravage the empire.”

“… … .”

Everyone is silent at those words.

Elodie’s remarks are not pleasant, but they are not shocking either.

because.

“Why should we believe that?”

One of the pros says:

They are suspicious of Elodie from the beginning.

Elodie lowered her eyes.

‘You believe it, don’t you?’

Elodie was a mage with great expectations from the empire. No, it is no exaggeration to say that he receives all the expectations of a wizard.

The fact that she suddenly left the empire and came back suddenly was an attack from God.

She is a colleague of Frontier who is suspected of being a demon. It is difficult to be trusted.

However.

“You know, Elodie.”

Zodiac, Daisy Foster opened her mouth.

“Where is Ludovic?”

“… … yes?”

“He left the empire and went to the continent you were on. “Have we not met?”

“… … Ah, I met him. “We found accommodation near our house and are staying together.”

Daisy grinned and looked at Zodiac Monty.

“Look, I won.”

“joy.”

With a jingle, several coins flew through the air, and Daisy deftly caught them with her hand.

Monty said dissatisfied.

“I saw him wrong. I thought I would return straight to the empire after work was over. “Aren’t you a corpse if you don’t have loyalty?”

“I heard the sea was unusual. Even if you wanted to come, you wouldn’t have been able to.”

Daisy was right.

At that time, Poseidon was very sensitive. The reason Elodie was able to get here was because she knew Poseidon.

Although Poseidon has been used by Frondier, he still thinks that Frondier is on his side.

On the contrary, Aster threw a spear and wounded Poseidon’s cheek, and Ludovic is the person who carried Aster. It is best for both of them to never be noticed by Poseidon.

“Right. “God is coming.”

Daisy sighed and raised her head. The facial expressions of the other zodiacs were similar.

Elodie was so puzzled by that appearance that she asked without thinking.

“… … “Do you believe me?”

“huh?”

“I thought you wouldn’t trust what I said.”

Daisy laughed bitterly at Elodie’s words.

“Elodie, do you know what the Empire was like after you and Frondier left?”

“… … well.”

“It was a mess.”

Daisy sighed.

“The crime rate is rising to an unprecedented level, demons that were dispirited are coming back to life and attacking the walls, and people’s anxiety is increasing. “Especially Ludovic, he was the biggest problem.”

“… … ah.”

I heard it from Frontier.

Ludovic says he feels extreme guilt.

The only worry the Frontier had, who chose to leave, was to ensure that the empire remained untroubled. Frontier spoke as if it were all his fault.

“Is Ludovic healthy? Was this the Zodiac you knew?”

“… … In my eyes, it was.”

“okay.”

Daisy’s eyes softened.

“That’s it then.”

The moment Elodie saw Daisy’s expression, she understood a lot.

That’s a face that Elodie herself has made before.

“If Ludovic is back to normal, it is clear what is right.”

“… … ! “You can’t just talk like that!”

One of the Zodiacs who was listening opened his mouth in a strong tone.

“We are still unable to dispel our suspicions that Frondier is the devil! Unless there’s proof he’s not the devil… … !”

“Yes! “If Frondier is a demon, I can’t trust anything you say as a former colleague!”

Another zodiac agrees with him, and the imperial palace becomes commotion.

Emperor Terst and Empress Fili become deep at the sight.

Doesn’t the confusion stop even in this situation?

‘Clear evidence to stop this chaos… … . ‘Is there really such a thing?’

Fili’s head hurts.

But then.

“… … still,”

A pure white voice flies through the commotion.

“Do we still have to fight each other?”

The words are not loud, so listen carefully, and they will sink into your heart.

Everyone saw her.

Aten Terst.

Only she stands in this dark place, pure white as always.

“Osprit.”

“… … “Yes, sir.”

Ospreet bows his head deeply.

“You told me at the scene of the incident where Mr. Ajie died. “I entrusted a request to Mr. Ajie.”

Ospreet opens his eyes wide at that. Answer straight away.

“That’s right.”

Those who gathered at the site of Atjie’s body at Frontier’s request.

There were Aten, one of the three empresses, and Ospreet, the chancellor.

Ospreet spoke as if recalling memories with Atjie at the time.

─I asked you to prevent the division of the Zodiac. I can’t listen to you anymore.

Ospreet recited with deep sighs and sadness.

Ospreet’s eyes sank as if he remembered that time.

“… … split… … .”

Someone said quietly.

Ospreet was concerned about the division of the Zodiac that would occur at any time.

Likewise, Ajie accepted the request because he was aware of the concerns.

“He clearly said he would do it.”

Ospreet said in a sad voice.

Aten looked at that face for a moment.

Then he said.

“You know Agier’s father, Ampere.”

“… … ? of course.”

“He never once allowed monsters to invade, which is why he was called ‘the iron wall.’ Maybe it’s because he resembles that personality, but the same goes for Mr. Ajie. “I heard that since I became a professional, I have never failed a request.”

Ajie does not have a high professional ranking.

It’s been a while since I became a professional, and I haven’t received many requests.

He only accepts requests that he can complete.

“I am.”

Aten says:

“I think it’s the same this time too.”

With pure white eyes.

As if she believed that everyone’s eyes were the same as her own.

“I have no doubt that he fulfilled his request.”

“… … !”

The eyes of all Zodiacs changed.

Ajie is dead. It is now a well-known fact that this is what God did.

What does this mean?

Ajie, who deserved to be loved by God given his temperament and talent, was killed by God.

What do we need to know?

What did you learn?

“Do we still have to fight each other?”

“… … .”

“Hasn’t anyone waited too long for us to take the right path?”

Everyone fell silent at that. Some people avoided eye contact and lowered their heads.

Aten took a breath.

No one knows how deep that breath is.

“Mr. Frontier went to rescue Mr. Atzie.”

“… … “You left to rescue me?”

“yes. To retrieve Ajie’s soul. “I went to God’s world.”

Everyone murmured at Aten’s words. In their eyes, Ajie is already dead. Is it possible to bring him back to life?

The answer came right away.

“… … It’s reckless, it doesn’t make sense. “You’re walking out on a limb!”

someone shouted.

Aten slowly closed his eyes and opened them again.

I nodded.

“you’re right.”

“… … ah… … .”

“Frondier walked out on a limb. To save Atjie. God himself set out to rescue Ajie, who was killed. So the gods try to attack humans.”

“… … ? Why is God attacking humans?”

Ospreet raised his eyebrows and asked back.

“Are you sure you don’t know why?”

God is trying to attack humans.

Then you can stop Frontier.

Because when a human is attacked,

“Frondier will try to save you.”

“… … .”

“That’s why.”

Everyone opened their mouths in confusion.

Some people believe all of this, and some do not.

However, it was none other than Ospreet’s remarks. It is impossible to dismiss it as nonsense.

“… … nice.”

And this time, the man who had never opened his mouth raised the corner of his mouth.

“We are just as old as we are.”

Ridwi Urfa.

He looked at Ospreet.

I feel like I’ve finally escaped from that time when I drank too much and became a drunkard.

No, the current Ridwi Urfa has not simply returned.

he is.

“I can’t believe I’m lying in that girl’s arms, sucking her fingers. “Isn’t it really funny?”

Ridwi is smiling.

However, those eyes are filled with murder and anger.

That anger is clearly due to the inability to forgive oneself.

“yes.”

Ospreet agrees with him. The same goes for him.

“It’s very funny.”

Even his deep patience had reached its limit. Especially since he was the one who witnessed all the sights of Frontier.

Beside them, Daisy Foster quietly watched the two.

Two wizards who are said to be powerful in the empire. These two, both elderly, shared much of the empire’s history together.

Daisy grinned. She felt strange and asked Ridwi.

“You want to fight God? Would you lose your spiritual powers? “So you can’t become Zodiac?”

Although I am saying this in a teasing way.

Daisy herself already has the same facial expression as Lidwi.

“Whatever that is.”

Ridwi growled.

“When we fought the monsters, did we fight with any regard for our position as Zodiac?”

“No, it’s not.”

Daisy answers. As if I was waiting for those words.

“You can’t be the Zodiac. yes. “We are not the Zodiac.”

Monty said.

“Were we originally the Zodiac?”

“no. we are,”

That moment,

A word that people who don’t know how many people answer without thinking.

“We are dogs.”

At that time, the eyes of the entire Zodiac had already changed.

It will chew up and devour everything that comes into the empire.

With that heart, he trampled on monsters and built a wall to protect the empire.

Did you forget that?

Was it because I was a bit immersed in peace, but then I got scared and turned into a dog with a wagging tail?

No, you can’t.

What on earth are you afraid of?

Why are we here!

“Let’s save it.”

Aten’s short voice.

“We do what we do.”

The confusion subsides.

The blade that each of them had hidden for a long time slowly reveals itself.

And that scene.

‘… … .’

Elodie saw it in her eyes.

─Who will repay you?

─I cannot understand sacrifices that are not repaid.

─What did you receive? What did you get for doing all that work?

─Being branded a devil and expelled from the empire? Do you have to hide in Palma wearing a mask? Living under threats from both God and the devil? Is that what you get in return?

‘… … yet.’

Elodie held back with all her might.

So many things.

‘don’t cry.’

Nothing is okay yet.

Not one.
