LIGHTNOVELWORLD chapter 75
75. Tribal Council (1)
In front of Yuma was Tisha. Tisha said to Yuma.
“I guess we can just pretend we’re traveling for a while.”
Last night, among the stories Yuma shared with Clone while walking on the sea at night, there was also a story about Tisha. She’s a pretty congenial magic student, so it’s fun to hang out with her.
That’s why Yuma asked as soon as morning came.
If it’s okay, would you be willing to move together as a group for a while?
It wasn’t a bad offer from Tisha’s perspective either.
There weren’t many opportunities to see the outside world in the Mullen tribe.
‘and.’
A new friend named Clone really liked me too.
In fact, the most important reason was that a connecting bridge between the Yuma side and the Mullen tribe was needed from the beginning.
A network that can move without suspicion when one side is in danger.
It is said that the Mullen tribe can send an urgent signal no matter how long a distance it is through the whales, their friends, as long as they are in the same ＜sea＞ ahead. It would also be possible through Silviria.
Tisha was planning to stay at Viscount Amon starting in December, when the Demon Army was scheduled to appear.
Yuma again sat in front of Yerkur, the king of the Mulen tribe.
Since we were on our way back as a group, I felt the need to say exactly what I had vaguely told them about preparing for dark clouds, but now that we were talking together.
“The dark clouds that will arrive on the continent in four months are probably the legions of the Demon Realm.”
Yerkur’s eyes widened.
“The Legion of Demon World, I see….”
Yuma was inwardly taken aback by Yerkur’s reaction of accepting what he said without even questioning it.
“Are you asking about the source of the information or not?”
“I trust you because you are the only person I trust. You saved the Great Sea.”
Yerkur paused for a moment and then continued.
“And the 800-year period of the invasion of the demon world coincides exactly with the time you mentioned.”
“A cycle of 800 years?”
It was only then that Yuma realized it.
The race before my eyes, the Fish-Man race, is a Jangsaeng race with a much deeper and more extensive historical record than humans.
Yerkur shook his head slowly.
“If it weren’t for your words, I wouldn’t have even thought of it. Because there was no invasion 800 years ago. They were quiet since the end 1600 years ago. The cycle has become meaningless. In fact, it may have been the end of the Demon World… All races on the continent are so relieved. He must have been doing it.”
After taking a sip of water, he continued speaking.
“Don’t worry. No matter what happens, I will fully compensate you for saving me from this crisis, my friend.”
Yuma nodded his head sharply at Yerkur’s words.
Three days have already passed by.
“Oh! I’ll come back when I’m a little stronger!”
Bell was saying goodbye to the Mullen men who had competed with him in martial arts.
“Tisha, are you sure? I’m going to be traveling for months.”
Tisha’s mother, who had light blue skin like Tisha, looked at her with a worried face.
“Well, since when did you worry so much about your daughter?”
Tisha chuckled and tied her navy blue hair tightly with a string.
“It comes back in four months anyway.”
“Four months is a long time, daughter.”
Tisha’s mother, Seine, looked at the clone behind Tisha.
“Take care of my daughter. Clone.”
Seine looked at Clone and said.
Clone smiled brightly and responded to her words.
“Yes, don’t worry, mother.”
***
All of Yuma’s group, including the Byakuya clan, stood in front of the dock.
Yerkur, the king of the Mulen tribe, saw off Yuma and his party.
“Please take good care of my daughter, Mushin.”
Tisha twisted the corner of her mouth.
“It sounds a little strange when you say that, Dad.”
“Tsk tsk tsk, it’s a joke.”
The father and daughter exchanged very affectionate farewells.
“Please return safely!”
The Mullen people, young and old, saw me and Yuma and the others off.
Sigh…
Viscount Amon’s ship, which was anchored, slowly moved to the Great Sea.
And so the 10-day journey began again.
Tisha, a mullen with light blue skin, was following along side by side on Silviria next to the Amon family ship.
Silviria’s speed did not lag behind the ship’s speed at all.
Rather than falling behind, Silviria was matching the speed of the ship.
Unlike when they departed, they returned with the addition of the White Night clan and Tisha.
And after spending a night at Amon House, he immediately returned to the Astes Imperial House.
Tisha’s clear blue eyes opened wide.
I was very surprised when I arrived in the capital city of Barnak, but the scenery of the imperial palace impressed me even more.
Golden walls that exude quiet majesty.
Marble neatly placed.
And a garden with numerous flowers.
It had a different kind of beauty than the Kingdom of Mulen in the deep sea.
In Yuma’s eyes, Emperor Brigitte came in to meet them at the gate of the imperial palace.
The 30 imperial guards standing side by side next to Brigitte knelt in unison.
“Meet His Excellency the Archduke Yuma.”
Yuma glanced at them and nodded slowly.
And in the center stood Brigitte.
“If the emperor were to appear like this according to his plan, it would not look good to his subjects.”
Brigitte grinned.
“Since when did I pay attention to my subjects like that?”
“Go in.”
Tisha was dumbfounded by the fact that the person she encountered three days after entering the empire was the emperor of the empire.
The annex to the left of the main palace of the imperial palace was where Yuma and his party temporarily stayed.
The 30 elite members of the Midnight Sun clan, except for five, began returning to the Land of Midnight Sun with Yuma’s message about the Demon Army.
Around the third month, an order was given to bring in all personnel capable of combat, so we would see each other again soon.
5 people who did not come down. One sword master and four expert swordsmen decided to remain as part of the empire’s workforce.
Yuma first talked alone with Brigitte.
Brigitte and Yuma’s blue eyes looked directly at each other.
Yuma again told Brigitte the conversation he had with Yerkur.
Brigitte opened her eyes wide and nodded at what Yerkur said.
“I see…the cycle of the invasion of the Demon World. I see. Longevity tribes like the Fishman tribe would be more knowledgeable in such records. However, that evil god Incrinyu said that it would definitely be the most powerful invasion in history.”
“Yes, I did.”
That is why Yuma is trying to form as many alliances as possible.
To minimize the damage to this continent.
“I think there are other races on land that could form an alliance.”
Lion tribe, Miao tribe, Lycanthrope.
Quite a few different races came into Yuma’s mind.
Brigitte relieved some of them.
“The Lion tribe is hostile to humans. And the Miao tribe used to be a friendly tribe, but now the tribes are so scattered that recruiting them won’t be easy… Lycanthropes or Zoin tribes might make sense.”
“Are there any other races?”
Brigitte thought about Yuma’s words for a moment and then opened her mouth again.
“Elves do not consider humans as equals. And dwarves follow the wishes of the elves. Most likely, they will not step forward until the elves take the lead in leading the situation.”
The story goes that the elves would lead the situation if they stepped forward, and would not respond to the calls of humans.
“Well, after some preparation time, I guess I’ll have to meet some lycanthropes and joiners.”
It is unknown how many Demon World demons and demonic beasts will pour down.
‘And there is a possibility that other races have unexpected information or power.’
I felt this even more when I encountered the Mullen tribe.
My body is already itching, but that doesn’t mean I can leave right away.
It’s been a long journey. I had to rest for at least 3 weeks and prepare slowly.
Tisha quickly adapted to life in the imperial palace.
Out of consideration for Tisha, fish dishes could no longer be found on the tables of the imperial palace.
Quality meat, vegetables, and fruits.
Thanks to this, Tisha opened her eyes to the taste of meat.
Tisha, a fishman with light blue skin, put a juicy steak in her mouth.
“This flavor…it’s delicious.”
Everyone in Yuma, including Brigitte, looked intently at the scene of the Mullen tribe member chewing and tearing at the meat.
“Yes, it’s delicious!”
The scarlet cat ears perked up.
Hestia, a Miao swordsman who is crazy about fish, approached the Mullen tribe, whom she had thought were incompatible, after confirming that they were unusual gourmets.
“This, this! Try it with vegetables and this sauce all at once!”
And then I started teaching people how to eat deliciously.
Tisha savored it as Hestia recommended.
“Mmm… I think the taste has gotten deeper, Hestia.”
“That’s right! That’s right!”
Hestia, who had achieved great success in sales, puffed out her cheeks with pride.
And there was Clone, who was looking at the scene with a faint smile as if it was amusing.
gymnasium.
In front of Yuma was none other than Bell.
Yuma held out a fairly large book.
“Is this the third sword technique?”
Belle raised her eyebrows and skimmed through the book.
It was a swordsmanship book written as quickly as possible with Balmung, ＜Meteor Sword＞.
The swordsmanship of Seeker Arachne, Balmung’s sixth swordsman.
-No one could surpass Arachne in terms of the strength of her slashes.
It starts with a slash, and ends with a slash. It was a swordsmanship book that was like the essence of all long-distance attacks that could be expressed with sword skills.
“Can you understand?”
“Yes, Yuma. The perfection is really high.”
Belle seemed very interested and quickly read the book.
Bell mastered another sword technique in such a short period of time.
It was one month since Yuma and his group returned to the empire.
“Yuma.”
Brigitte treated Yuma alone at her residence.
“There’s an elf in the reception room now.”
“Elf?”
Brigitte slowly nodded her head in response to Yuma’s question.
“Tribal conference. They say the elves are pushing for a tribal conference.”
“Have you met him in person?”
“No, not yet.”
“Then let’s go together.”
Brigitte smiled and nodded at Yuma’s words.
Yuma’s presence put Brigitte’s mind at ease.
Yuma and Brigitte walked slowly to the reception room.
