57-057-Contraindications for the Frost Kingdom

"The Yellow Moon, 5th of July, early morning.

＜Front Gate of the Royal Castle of the Kingdom of Frost.

Hey. Welcome home, Lord Uranus!

Yeah, good job, Carlos.

After exchanging greetings with a familiar gatekeeper, Uranus led us straight into the castle.

We walked through the hall and upstairs to the back of the building, where we walked down a red-carpeted corridor that looked expensive.

Then we opened the most magnificent door and saw King Frost and his ministers standing on their thrones.

'How was the result, O Uranus?

'Yes, sir. I have climbed to the top floor of the Tower of the Gods to rebuild the wards.

Great, that's Uranus the Brave!

The king claps his hands happily as he receives the good news.

But this happy smile was short-lived as the king turned his eyes to the back of Uranus with a quizzical look on his face.

I'm not sure what to make of it.

And what are these people...?

It's a good idea to be able to have a good idea of what you're looking for when you're in the marketplace.

It's a good idea to be able to have a good idea of what you're looking for.

''The Tower of the Gods is full of more formidable monsters than I imagined, and as a result, I decided that it would be difficult for Krull and I to move on alone, so we had to fight with them temporarily.

Hearing Uranus' words, the king's eyebrows twitched for a moment.

Then, after a few moments of silence, the minister who was next to him connected the words instead.

''As I recall, I heard that Uranus-dono is on the principle of not teaming up with anyone other than Krull-dono, but...?

''Ah, Minister-dono. It's a good thing that you're able to have a great deal of fun with your friends. They are also the same as their partner, Elena-dono, whose powerful water-attribute magic is such that the vicious monsters flee at once. There is no reason not to partner with them.

My God!

Relief appeared on the king's face when he heard the words 'awesome sifu' and 'powerful water attribute magic' coming out of Uranus' mouth.

Uranus, who was convinced that our predictions were correct by the way he looked, fluttered his hands in a deliberately mischievous manner.

''........But King-sama. I'm in a bit of a pickle.''

We have a problem, huh?

In response to the king's question, Satsuki stepped forward in place of Uranus and bowed his head in a pecking order.

''Mm?　Your daughter, as I recall, is the girl who asked me questions in the Great Hall?

Okay.

''So what's wrong with this girl?''

"The King may not know it, but the tower wards were cursed with a curse that removes all magic and renders all skills useless."

'Oh, yeah...'

Then Uranus began to tell the rest of the story with a rueful look in his eyes.

'In the face of a serious matter of progress and regression, they and I quarreled over who would go. But she was so distressed by the dispute that she gave her own body to the wards!

!

When the king and the minister were immensely disappointed and their expressions intensified, Satsuki turned around while biting her lip, covered her face with her hands and shook her shoulders.

........But I know.

That this guy saw the king and minister's surprised faces and couldn't help but laugh.

''Oh, what's wrong?　You look very pale, sir.

The king swims his eyes at Uranus' question, but somehow manages to twist the words out of his mouth.

'No, no, I just took pity on that girl...'

'Yes, that's right. And I have even more trouble.

There's more?

Then Krull, who was next to Uranus this time, begins to explain the situation.

He said, "I heard that Satsuki-sama here is also close to the royal family of the eastern kingdom of the Holy City of Platena. In fact, he was planning to report this trip to Princess Priscia after coming here as a sneak attacker, but I'm not sure what to do about this situation...

"What a surprise! I didn't know she was a foreign maiden, but she was playing a country girl!

"Guffaw!

I thought Jupiter made a funny sound, but then she ran to Satsuki and started crying, "Hey, hey, hey.

........but I know.

I'm sure the king's reaction hit the nail on the head and he couldn't help but laugh.

"Is that the boy...?

Well he is Satsuki-sama's ... fiancée. He is saddened and saddened that the woman he loved so much has become like this.

Finally, Hupiter is engaged to be married to your daughter!

Following Krull's abrupt ad-libbing, I gritted my back teeth.

........Of course, I'm not frustrated or sad, I'm just fighting my own mind to maintain my normalcy.

However, the king and the minister who saw that seemed to mistake me for trembling in anger, so the result was okay.

''........I wonder if our methods were still against God's will?

The minister looked at the king, who was muttering in dismay, and panicked, but it was already too late.

Taking a chance, Uranus entered into a final closure.

''If the king is not hiding something, is he not hiding something?　We need you to tell us everything we need to know so that we can continue to protect this country and the future of our country........!

Yeah.

And then the king began to tell the whole story....

~ A long time ago...

The Kingdom of Frost was once a green paradise nurtured by nature's abundant bounty.

However, repeated attacks by the devil have left the land desolate and transformed it into a raging, barren land of blizzards.

"God, please have mercy on us...!

Perhaps the saint's prayers were answered, for when God descended from heaven, with a wave of his right hand, he erected a huge tower to the south of the island and said

'He who is brave, pray at the top. Then this country will be protected by my blessing.

For a long time afterwards, the people of the kingdom sent their warriors to the tower, and in exchange for their power, they kept warding off the threat of the invaders by keeping the island warded.

Sometimes for years, sometimes for months....

Each time the warding disappeared, someone's power was lost one by one.

Although the warding of the Tower of the Gods prevents the country from being attacked by demons, the people are still in agony as they lose their power one by one.

But one by one, the people suffer as they lose their power.

--If you devote the power of a brave man, can you create a very strong ward?

The king thought that the brave man's power, which was supposed to be used to defeat the demon king, was useful in maintaining the warding, so he instructed the brave man of the time to climb the tower.

The brave poured all of his power into the warding, just as the king wanted.

As a result, the warding was so strong that it protected the country for about 20 years.

Moreover, during those twenty years, a new brave was born in the Temple of the Divine Vocation, and the power of the lost brave returned again.

........In other words, it turned out that just by continuing to offer the power of the heroes to the Tower of the Gods, they would always receive powerful divine blessings.

...

interchangeable

Since then, the role of the brave men in the Frost Kingdom has changed from 'the one who defeats the Demon King' to 'the human pillar' who sacrifices on behalf of the people.

Was this the intention of the gods, or...?
