Chapter 447: Crisis and Request of Warrior Country
【To the Stone Dungeon】
[Good brother, there have been some troubles in my base recently. Although it has been resolved now, I still need to stay here for a while to observe.]
[So the time for me to move to the Warrior Kingdom to accompany you will be postponed a little. Consider this pile of delicious rocks as a gift from me, brother. I hope you enjoy the meal. If you get too hungry, just ask me for more.]
【Godwin】
The altar flickered slightly, and the short letter was transmitted.
The turmoil caused by Eliphis was eventually named the "Black Hawk Rebellion" by the official kingdom. It was written into the history of the kingdom and became a highlight.
There was considerable attention paid to this matter within the kingdom. After all, the golden skyline created by the hero hung in the sky for three full days before dissipating. The entire kingdom and even its neighboring countries could see it, and everyone wanted to find out how this thing was created.
After careful investigation, people found that:
What? The Black Hawk Rebellion was officially considered to be a major disaster that could cause the destruction of the kingdom?
What? The Black Hawk Rebellion was resolved by a dungeon called Sean and the brave Elsa before it caused a major disaster?
What? The crisis of national destruction has become a thing of the past while we have been sleeping?
People who were not near the royal city and had the good fortune of not personally experiencing the disaster brought about by the turmoil felt a sense of fear, but also a sense of relief.
All cities in the kingdom were mobilizing personnel and materials to come to the royal city to support the reconstruction work. Those who were far away actually rushed to Bed City, because the Sean Underground City could facilitate transportation between the two places.
However, another major reason why many people choose to take a look at the Thane Dungeon is that the royal palace officially recognized the day after the Black Hawk Rebellion as "Thane Memorial Day" and generously gave a full day of holiday!
Anyway, this is a day off, and the Sean Dungeon played a very important role in resolving the Black Hawk Rebellion, and was even considered to have a contribution that surpassed that of the heroes. Therefore, many people came here with a pilgrimage mentality.
In just over ten days, while the reconstruction of the royal city was basically completed, the Sen Dungeon completed the coloring of the entire Kingdom of Anor!
Throughout the kingdom, the color of Sean’s representative green is everywhere, which is very eye-friendly!
Gong Qiying has been looking at the world map these days. He has seen his own stained area grow rapidly, and the city lords have been sending him congratulatory messages. He feels that his eyesight seems to have improved a lot.
In this regard, Gong Qiying only had one comment:
"Cool."
In addition to the reaction of the Kingdom of Anor itself, its neighbors, its neighbors' neighbors, and its neighbors' neighbors... In short, many countries have cast their eyes on the royal palace.
Of course, it is impossible that all greetings and support are well-intentioned. There are also many people with ulterior motives, and some countries are even ready to make moves.
However, the Black Hawk Rebellion only affected the royal city, and the army stationed on the border of the kingdom was not damaged at all. General Gabi, who had witnessed the battle between the Sword Saint Gapar and the descendants of the Demon King in the Great Rift Valley on the border, took on the heavy responsibility and actively responded to the restless moves from other countries, and his performance was very eye-catching.
In addition, Minister Oro, who is usually in charge of state affairs, has not been damaged, Princess Selene is gradually learning and improving, and King Ainz III is expected to wake up. The death of Liphith is like removing the biggest poisonous blood of the kingdom. In the long run, the Kingdom of Anor will be prosperous.
Of course, for the sake of national cohesion, Eliphis would probably be singled out as a typical example of evil and criticized every year, and would be forever engraved on the pillar of shame.
"Father, among all the letters sent from so many countries, the only one I can't understand is the one from the Warrior Country, so I can only send it to you for your review."
The Royal Palace, the bedroom of King Ainz III.
The interior of the palace is filled with rich magical power, and various magic circles related to spiritual defense are running here seriously, ready to resist the evil god Hidden Dim Star that may cause trouble from the sky at any time.
King Ainz III lay on a bed that was larger than before, with a blood transfusion bag hanging beside him, pumping healthy blood that had been magically processed to adapt to his body into his body, washing the beast blood that was constantly produced.
Thanks to the effect of the blood transfusion, he no longer looked like a beast at this moment. He looked like a completely amiable middle-aged man, except that he looked a little pale and weak.
More importantly, his weakness was caused by Eliphis squeezing blood from him in order to produce a large number of new beastmen. In order to extract blood better, he announced to the public that the king was critically ill, and wanted to use fake death to imprison the king and use him as a blood bag.
But he can totally bear this little weakness.
His midlife crisis has passed, and no matter where his future takes him, it will be an upward path for him.
At this moment, his daughter Selene was by his side, telling him softly what was happening in the kingdom, making him feel that all the hard work had paid off and it was finally his turn to enjoy family happiness.
Honestly, just thinking about it makes the corners of my mouth curl up.
"Is it the letter from the Warrior Kingdom? Was it written by the current king or the old king?" asked Ainz III.
He looked at his adopted daughter, Selene. Although he had only been in contact with her for a few days while she was conscious, he felt that she was more and more pleasing to the eye. She was simply the most perfect child in his imagination.
It was just that the other party's obsession with Sean made him a little jealous.
There was something that happened recently that made him want to praise Selene.
The other party claimed that she was protected by the Thane Dungeon by claiming that the weapon of the Lion Knight Ornstein had saved her life during the Black Hawk Rebellion. The two parties may have established some kind of connection. Those who want to make a move against the Kingdom of Anor should be careful not to mess with the Thane Dungeon, which is still shrouded in mystery.
This method of borrowing the power of a tiger to bully others is indeed quite effective and has indeed deterred some scoundrels.
"It was written by the old king who has already abdicated. The current young king also sent a letter and an envoy. But their intentions are very clear. They have been trying to find out about our country's situation in a roundabout way these days. It is obvious what they want to do."
"They can even do things like indirect attacks. Today's warrior nation has really lost its warrior spirit."
Ainz III sighed and said, "Give it to me. Let me see what old man Fred wrote. We haven't been in touch for many years. I don't know if he has Alzheimer's disease now."
His tone sounded unfriendly, but not fierce. Instead, it had a strange sense of mockery in it.
Celina handed the letter to her father, but her eyes changed slightly, and she thought:
Could it be that when my father secretly ran away to become an adventurer, one of his teammates was really the old King Fred of the Warrior Kingdom? Are the rumors true? What about the rumors about the identities of the other teammates?
So why have the Kingdom of Anor and the Warrior Kingdom been fighting each other over the years?
Ainz III unfolded the slightly crumpled letter that had obviously been read over and over again, glanced at it, and suddenly couldn't help but burst into a hearty laugh.
"Hahaha, this old guy, hahaha, interesting, his situation is no better than mine!"
The letter from Fred, the old king of the Warrior Kingdom, is a bit confusing both in terms of its appearance and its inner meaning.
This letter written by him personally has a very wild feeling of the older generation of soldiers - the handwriting is super, super, super ugly.
The meaning that Selene had painstakingly deciphered with her literacy magic can be summarized as:
Fred wants to send a large delegation to the Kingdom of Anor to learn the warrior spirit!
He also mentioned that he wanted to spend a large sum of money to ask the brave Elsa to go to the Warrior Kingdom to preach and tell how she fought under the pressure of Eliphis.
It seems that there is nothing wrong with these requirements. They are easy to understand, right?
But think about it carefully. The two countries had just fought a war not long ago, and their relationship was quite tense in history. Moreover, the Kingdom of Anor is suffering a great disaster now, and there are some unstable factors in the country. How can they safely let in the delegation mentioned in the letter, which may have thousands of people?
How dare Fred write such an outrageous request!
After receiving the letter, Selene wondered more than once whether King Fred was really suffering from Alzheimer's. Logically speaking, shouldn't the dragon's blood that their royal family often drank be able to strengthen the body?
However, Ainz III's letter showed a kind of gloating attitude, and even seemed to have a hint of a bad friend.
He knew why Fred was so anxious.
Because the Warrior Nation has truly lost the warrior spirit in its historical tradition!
A country of warriors that has always advocated martial virtues, a country blessed by the God of War, is famous for its bravery and generous character. Excellent warriors will really be blessed by the God of War and gain enough strength to fight against the devil, which is commonly known as a "hero"!
It has the inheritance of many masters of combat skills. Those inheritances claim that no matter what their stance is, as long as the learners are talented, they can receive the combat skills that best suit them. It can be said to be a paradise that every warrior yearns for. Various traditional cultures are intertwined to form a national treasure called the warrior spirit.
However, since when, this treasure was gradually lost by later generations.
Starting from a certain period of history, the number of newborns with excellent magical talents in the Warrior Kingdom increased sharply, while correspondingly, the number of people with talents in combat skills remained lukewarm, and even showed a downward trend. In addition, the neonatal mortality rate increased, and the inheritance of a large number of combat skills was shaken.
But the impact of this kind of thing is not that simple. The old motto "Swords and swords are the greatest glory" has been abandoned, and "Praise the omnipotent magic" has become people's catchphrase.
In recent years, something even more dangerous has happened.
Some young people claim that the great warriors, famous battles, etc. that were praised and promoted in the history of the Warrior Country were all things that were made up by those old stubborn people who rigidly worshipped the warrior spirit to confuse people. Their purpose was to make people continue to follow the old path of warriors and give up the convenient and omnipotent magic.
Some even began to deconstruct the legends that once inspired people to pass on the warrior spirit and did even more excessive things. Historical nihilism is rampant in the country of warriors.
To this day, the warrior spirit is in jeopardy, and no brave man has appeared, let alone one who is blessed by the God of War.
Even the traditional war festival was almost cancelled due to the domestic situation. It was only with the strong insistence of Fred and many surviving elderly people that it was prepared and will finally be held soon.
It can be said that this year's war festival is Fred's last gamble!
If the festival cannot awaken people's lost warrior spirit, the future of the Warrior Kingdom will truly be headed towards chaos!
By then, it might be renamed the Kingdom of Magic, losing the foundation of the country blessed by the God of War, and not even a brave man could be born!
“Hahahaha, hahaha.”
Wiping away the tears from laughing, Ainz III returned the letter to Celina, having already reached a conclusion in his mind.
"If it were me, I would have agreed to the poor old man's last request."
"Agree?"
Selene was still a little worried. After all, what kind of warrior spirit was worth learning from their country?
Are they the guys who are invading the Sen dungeon all day long? The more you learn, the more despicable you will become. If you really learn it, I'm afraid the warrior spirit will be alienated.
Ainz III saw the worry in Celine's tone and was about to say something to convince her that there was no harm in this matter.
But at this moment, there was a knock on the door of the bedroom. Ainz III looked at the clock and realized that the time had already come.
After getting permission, General Guillimanbo walked in and said:
"Your Majesty, it's time to go to Thane."
Ainz III nodded and said with emotion:
"I should also go and thank this dungeon that saved me."
