“Are you saying that this newly created weapon destroyed that whole area?” Crown Prince asked in astonishment while pointing to the area specified in his question.“That is correct Your Highness.” Bea“And you’re saying that when the healers use that weapon, no explosion occurred?” This time the crown prince pointed the weapon.“No explosion occurred just a calming and brilliant light?” The crown prince continued.“Everything you said just now is all correct Your Highness.” BeaThe crown prince places his hand on his chin and ponders something.“I’ve never heard nor read any circumstances in the royal palace. Can anyone explain how it’s possible?”This time no one spoke but all of their gazes turns on me who silently enjoyed my cup of coffee.The crown prince, commander of the stronghold named Magnus, Bea, Robert, Elena, and I are currently inside the house prepared in advance for arriving crown prince.Luckily, the house is outside the radius of the explosion and is well prepared lik
“Selene is the spy who I formed a contract with. She already held the bargain on her end and it is my turn to help her and get her family from the empire.” Jin “Are you really going with her?” Crown Prince “Yes, besides it is an opportunity to know more about the empire. Do not worry, I will not dig deep and dwell there for too long. Just give me 4 days and I’ll be here again.” I told them and continue telling my plan The traveling from here to the empire will take two days and another 2 days to get back here to the stronghold. I will use the time needed by Selene in helping her family flee from the empire to gather intel. Good thing for us, the last supplies arrived during the war and the carriages of merchants were halted by the royal knights that accompanied Bea and Selene when they retrieve the cannon weapon. Once we finish our task in the empire, Selene and her family will stay and be on house arrest for the time being in Lithe City on Hayne’s Territory which everyone agreed
I just smiled and give her 1 gold coin and left the shop with the books. The next stop is the adventurer guild. I quickly left the book shop and proceed to Adventurer Guild.As expected, the establishment and guild itself are a bit the same as what the anime portrayed. They have a section for the cafeteria, a lounge area to relax, a waiting area for applicants, and a wide board where different missions are posted.I better sit and observe for now. After sitting in the secluded part I get myself a newspaper I noticed on the table.I pretend to read while eavesdropping on the nearby group of people talking.“Didn’t you hear the news? The empire is scheming with demons!”“Shhh! Lower your voice, someone from the empire might hear you, although we are safe inside the guild there is no assurance if we are outside.”“I heard the empire pretending to invade the Fyn Kingdom but their real goal is to conquer the Narva Kingdom.”“Every nation wants to conquer the Narva Kingdom so it’s not that
We quickly finish our lunch and headed to her bookshop. I told her in advance to get some books related to her family heirloom while I’m reading the page where the word “rune” is decoded. Those books are just preparation in case the hidden text or code is instructing us to look to different books for another clue. In my previous life, the history of secret writing is used in the middle twentieth century to convey or cascade the hidden message to the recipient. It is actually a spy thing and there are three different types of how to conceal messages which can be revealed by heat, chemical, and UV light. Since this world’s science and technology are underdeveloped, it is safe to say I can decipher the secret message using heat. As long as they use fruit or vegetable fluids, deciphering it is easy. But there is one thing I want to confirm first. Then I look at a girl currently collecting a book related to her family heirloom. She safely put all the books on the table and seated. “B
I do not know what came over me but to offer something to help them overthrow the current emperor is a big gamble. I may risk our life mostly Elena, if ever that girl named Celeste is secretly working in the empire and just pretending against them in front of me. Though it’s a gamble, I made sure to make a counter plan if she was indeed working secretly with the empire. Before I left, we prepared two copies of the rune page using the hidden text and burned the original and we both keep one copy. *Sigh What’s done is done. But there are things to be glad at. I learned a piece of very helpful information about the empire. The mayor openly opposed the emperor and how to make a weapon and armor endowed with rune magic. I get excited knowing that the steel I manufactured which is a thousand times stronger than iron can be improved again with rune magic. But since it is just a lesser type, it is safe to say the dwarves have different types of rune magic from weakest to strongest. I a
On a cold night, only the moonlight can provide illumination to the forest. Three spies are stealthily walking toward the two silhouettes resting on the shades of a tree. One of them throw two daggers with poison and the two followed it by plunging their sword into the chest of two silhouettes. But to their surprise, no blood comes out on their body. Confusion shrouded their mind but they become alert when they feel a distortion of mana on their back. They were about to jump to escape but they were cut by a halberd. One of the spies died instantly while the remaining two still breathing due to the cut on their necks was not deep. The man who cut them instantly stops them from moving by pointing the halberd at them. “Now talk. Who sent you?” The man asked who cut his allies. The spy let out a loud laugh. The man who has a halberd joined the laugh which confused the spies. But the confusion turns to fear when the man plunges the halberd into the neck of the spy. “You guys are fun
“Since everyone is here, this is a good thing to share the information you gathered.” Crown princeHis elegance returned and the atmosphere of seriousness shrouded us.“I learned two things. First about the person who openly opposed the emperor on his quest on invading the Fyn Kingdom and the Narva kingdom.”“That person is the current mayor in Auburn City. He let his subject citizen freely talk about it. I think he is planning to start the rebellion against the empire. I didn’t meet the mayor in person so I can’t say for sure if we can offer him a proposition to help us but I met her daughter which led to the second and most important information I learned.”I surveyed everyone’s reaction and continue. Some of them gulped and although the crown prince pretending not to care and yet his yes show anticipation.“I learned how to make weapon and shield endowed with rune magic.”That short sentence dropped like a powerful bomb that made them all stand up including the crown prince.I can’
In the middle of the night, two days before the planned infiltration of Jins’ Party to Auburn City. Three spies are currently running away from the girl named Celeste after she spotted them from a distance when she tried to look for her father at their residence. “Damn it! This woman is crazy! She already killed two of our comrades easily.” Spy “How she’s so strong? She already received more than ten cuts from our swords and yet she’s still chasing us.” Spy “Stop talking! Focus on retreating and try to stay alive. We must give the information to the headquarters that this girl can use mana strengthening perfectly.” Leader Tsk. How did this happen? Since the empire try to invade the Narva kingdom, our spy organization’s dead bodies keep increasing. This is the first time in 300 years. It’s just recently but weird things and people with unbelievable power start appearing. The young official who took down General Greith, the Emperor scheming with demons, the artificial core, and no
