LIGHTNOVELWORLD chapter 77
77. Tribal Council (3)
Yuma selected people to take to the ＜Tribal Council＞.
First of all, the relationship between himself and Emperor Brigitte, the representative, had been decided.
‘I guess I’ll just have to take everyone with me the way I took them.’
Belle and Clone had a set routine.
Because Yuma considered the experience he would give these two to be the most important.
As a member of the royal family of Mulen, Tisha was unlikely to avoid encountering many races.
Yuma asked Tisha and Hestia directly.
As expected, both received positive answers.
Hestia was impressed by the lowly muttered answer.
“It’s been a while since I got to see some of my fellow countrymen.”
And instead of Belle, I decided to take with me a sword master from another Byakuya clan.
The group wasn’t just Yuma. The 30 members of Brigitte’s immediate personal guard were the personnel who must accompany Brigitte when she moved as emperor. Everyone is an expert level. And Michael, who commanded them, was a sword master.
Brigitte’s advisors felt anxious to this extent, but when they heard that Archduke Yuma was with them, their concerns were allayed.
That’s how the departure number was decided.
The next day, Yuma called his colleagues to the back gate of the imperial palace.
And next to him were nine elves standing side by side.
“See you at the pinnacle of the great Astes, Your Majesty Emperor Brigitte.”
The elves, including Isherua, who had already said hello yesterday, bowed to Brigitte. Mulius, the leader of the elf guard, and the guards showed courtesy toward Yuma.
“Meet His Excellency the Archduke Yuma.”
The elves’ eyes looking at Yuma were full of goodwill and interest.
And he greeted the rest of the group with a bright face.
The elf’s expression was clearly full of joy.
Clone also bowed his head and received greetings.
‘Ah, Hestia told me not to easily trust the kindness of the elves… ?’
Clone recalled the story about the elf mask that Hestia, who rarely gets serious, said with a very serious expression.
“nice to meet you.”
“nice to meet you.”
Tisha and Hestia also appropriately accepted the elves’ greetings.
Mulius, the leader of the guard group who had been looking at Tysha and Hestia, turned his attention to Brigitte.
“You also have the Fishman and Miao people in your party? That’s surprising.”
Brigitte nodded.
“They are all people who have reached a connection.”
The ambiguous gaze of the elves can be felt. But Tisha and Hestia didn’t pay much attention. Because I knew very well that elves were not as friendly to other races as they appeared.
Hestia organized her thoughts internally.
‘In the first place, those of us who have gathered around Yuma are unusual.’
It was not easy to become friendly with tribes that had no contact with one another.
Elves are the only beings famous for their bad temper.
I thought it would be okay as long as there were no problems between us.
“Shall we leave?”
Everyone nodded at Isherua’s words.
The group headed to Alfheim’s third sacred site.
All the elves were riding pure white horses. Yuma was riding the black warhorse Hector, a horse he had known since the war against Paineton.
The group moved forward without any hindrance.
Through the grass and forest.
Nine days passed like that.
After passing through the plains, we reached a lush forest.
The day was getting dark quickly.
What I saw in front of me was a huge circular terrain.
Numerous tents were lined up in a circular terrain.
Everyone in Yuma’s group looked at the different races in the circle with clear eyes.
Cat ears that were only seen on Hestia. There were also Miao people with various cat ears.
All right… Compact
The horse slowed down and entered the circular terrain.
The next thing I saw was a ＜Lycanthrope＞, which had the same overall appearance as a wolf, but had a strong abdomen reminiscent of a human and a leg skeletal structure that allowed it to step straight on the ground.
Purr…
The lycanthrope gritted his teeth and watched the entry of those who were half human and half elf.
Yuma looked at the other races while holding his head high on his warhorse.
Unity.
At least the atmosphere rising above this circular land seemed far from those hopeful words.
Darkness has completely fallen.
The eyes of the wolf pack and the cat pack pierced through the night and shined brightly.
Immediately.
Instead of harmony, a cold energy flowed across the round land.
The eyes of the two races were not the only ones shining brightly.
Elf.
Their eyes were not only bright during the day. Even at night, I could see the forest clearly. Elves emitting a green eye glow.
Oops!
Isher-Ah, who was responsible for making this meeting happen, applauded.
“It is too late at night today, so the distinguished guests of the Astes Empire who have just arrived at the Holy Land should also recover from their fatigue before starting the tribal meeting tomorrow, right? As planned.”
In the corner of the conference hall, next to the huge tree, dwarves and dwarves were turning their heads to look at each other.
A large lycanthrope sitting on a chair with his legs crossed, as if he were sitting in the master bedroom of his own home, opened his mouth.
“That’s right. We can’t twist a chapter created for harmony before it even begins.”
A ferocious energy flowed from the lycanthrope’s body.
It wasn’t living. A spray of presence.
That was his purpose.
Yuma cast ＜Search Eye＞ and stared at the lycanthrope.
[Lv.217] Berkan
Race: Lycanthrope
Alignment: Neutral
Level: Grand Master
Trait: Royal Blood
‘Ohh.’
Yuma was inwardly impressed.
King of the Giants, Adesna Black Dragon. And, except for non-standard beings like Leviathan who were born at the level of demigods, this was the first being that exceeded level 200.
Lycanthrope muscles writhing with gray fur.
The eyes of a wild beast.
Berkan’s golden eyes, so sharp that they could only be described as such, stared at Yuma.
“Dark gray hair and eyes like walls… Should I say it’s an honor to meet you, Musin?”
‘This guy knows me too.’
Berkan continued.
“Berkuos, the king of Baukalak, is not in good health, so Berkan, the legitimate heir to the throne, has decided to participate in the meeting. Please take care of him.”
Yuma thought.
‘What is this guy?’
The gravelly and heavy tone made Berkan’s voice sound quite threatening, but ironically, it contained a very friendly explanation as to why he had participated in this meeting.
“Okay, thank you.”
Yuma said so. And he gestured towards his companions.
“Please quickly designate a place for the imperial party to stay.”
At those words, Isherua nodded his head sharply.
“Of course, His Excellency the Archduke Yuma.”
Yuma and his group followed Isherua’s guidance and entered the tent, which was set up fairly well. There were various beds in the huge tent.
In this situation where other races were watching and watching each other, no one would make an unexpected move without thinking, but Yuma went into his sleeping bag while thinking about the number of such cases.
-oooh, it’s been a long time since I’ve seen so many races gathered together. Was it about 800 years ago?
This is because a trustworthy watchdog named Balmung was by Yuma’s side.
And a day passed.
The sun has risen.
Jeopuk
Yuma stretched and leisurely walked out of the tent.
And Hestia jumped out next to him and stretched out side by side.
“Yuma, don’t you think something will happen today?”
Why is the kid saying such unlucky things this morning?
“Nothing will happen.”
Yuma said so, put on a black coat and walked forward.
After eating bread and fruit prepared by the elves, everyone gathered at the round table in the center.
Yuma sat on the chair placed at the round table.
All eyes at the round table turned to Yuma for an instant.
There weren’t many people currently sitting at the round table.
Because only representative figures of each race came forward.
People who represent humans, Yuma and Brigitte.
The people who represented the elves were Isherua, a diplomat, and Ruinerif, a high elf.
[Lv.236] Ruinerif
High elf spiritist.
And Berkan, who can be said to be the crown prince of the Lycanthrope Kingdom.
Gar al-Kulan, the great warrior representing the dwarves.
[Lv.192] Garalkulan
Grand Master.
Elfer, the chieftain of the Twilight Tribe, the largest of the scattered Miao tribes.
[Lv.181] Elfer
Grand Sword Master.
And suddenly, Tisha sits here as the representative of the Fishman and Mulen tribe.
Yuma confirmed that the maximum level was updated again.
Yuma faced Ruineleaf, the protagonist of the renewal, who was staring at him intently.
“You are an amazing person in every way. Your Excellency the Grand Duke.”
Ruineleaf grinned while looking at Yuma.
An elf whose eyes and hair are green. And unlike Isherua and the other guards, the long ears seemed to be proof of a high elf.
Berkan knocked on the circular table.
Cracking─
“Stop talking nonsense and get on with the race meeting.”
Isherua nodded with a smile at Berkan’s words.
“First of all, the elves sent to you must have all explained it to you, but the World Tree read the heavenly energy. It gave you information that something was going to penetrate the sky and invade Middle-earth. And the high elf next to you, Ruinerif. “The result of your consideration.”
Ruinerif, who was next to him, received Isherua’s words.
“Perhaps the ones piercing the sky and invading are dragons or demons.”
Ruinerif glanced at the beings at the round table.
“The reason we have gathered you all is to minimize the damage that will be inflicted on the continent no matter what is invading.”
The tribal council has begun.
