Episode 211
: Princess!
It was a word that made my heart race just by hearing it. I didn’t know how the East Continent was going, but I could smell an incident involving high-ranking people.
However, at the woman’s next words, X’s face quickly darkened.
“...yes?”
“The only one we can trust is Mr. X.”
“No, wait a minute. “Eat your head first.”
Despite X’s dissuasion, the woman did not even think about raising her head.
On the one hand, I could understand that kind of attitude.
This is not a request that anyone would accept unless they are crazy enough!
‘In other words, you want to become a traitor, right?’
Please help the princess and destroy the empire!
It was already X who had to rebel against the Kingdom of Arba. But that wasn’t enough, so he helped the princess, the lowest ranked princess, to become the emperor of the Eastern Continent.
X sighed inwardly.
‘It’s a mountain beyond a mountain.’
But history is written by the hands of the victors.
If you help the princess and succeed in the rebellion, wouldn’t you be able to make a big mark on the Eastern Continent?
As I thought about that, a dark feeling began to well up in my heart. To do that, collecting information should come first.
X began the conversation in earnest.
“My name is Seoji. As you can see, the princess is being attended to in an invisible place. “I trust you, X, and I will tell you the current situation of our Fire Empire.”
Woe Empire!
It is a country that unified the Eastern Continent after a long war. With the war gone, the people had enough to live on, but
the problem was always the superiors. In the case of the Hua Empire, the situation was so severe that the emperor himself was insane.
X, who had been listening quietly, opened his mouth in astonishment.
“No, let alone the fact that your wife is 20 and you have 30 children. “If you’ve given birth to that many people, you should be held accountable, but you’re actually instigating a fight?”
A war of succession!
From what I’ve heard, it wasn’t at the level of a fight. Even if they were from different ships, they would brutally kill their brothers and sisters!
Seo Ji-ha answered with a gloomy expression.
“The smell of blood began to be in the air for a moment before everyone began to question His Majesty’s decision. “Of course, the purge started from the lowest rank.”
It is said that the princess whom Seo Ji-ha served was 16 years old, making her 11th in rank.
The fact that such a princess was at the bottom of the hierarchy... meant that nearly ten princes and princesses had been purged!
X’s expression became serious.
“This is not normal.”
After listening to the story, I felt like I knew why they were planning a rebellion.
In short, the emperor was the source of all evil.
Because X had experienced it, he knew the insides of trash people well.
‘The struggle will continue until one person survives.’
There was no way for a writer who thought of life, and even the life of his children, as a game, to quietly pass on the throne of emperor.
Indeed, the princess seemed to have chosen the best method.
“So the princess is safe now?”
“Actually, I don’t know. I’m going crazy with worry. However, I want to protect the work that the princess has entrusted to me, even if it means risking my life.”
There was a solemn aura around Seo Ji-ha’s eyes. If you refuse the request, it feels like you will bite your tongue on the spot.
Anyway, there was something I was curious about.
“How did you meet that bastard, the Gourmet King?”
“He saved the princess’s life once.”
“Oh my.”
The Gourmet King, who currently has no contact with anyone, saved the princess’s life... Various speculations come to mind.
But one thing is certain: the Gourmet King made sure that his successor had no choice but to ask about this incident!
‘I don’t know what the intention is, though.’
X made a decision.
“great. “I will help the princess.”
I will help the lowest-ranking princess defeat the imperial family of the Fire Empire!
As the heir and greedy X, he simply could not refuse.
First of all, it is an incident related to the king of gourmets, the practice of encouraging good and punishing evil, and even the possibility of having a big place in the Eastern Continent!
A whisper arrived from X!
The only time X whispered first was when there was a request.
Actually, there were a lot of things I wanted to ask Asus too. Because the impact of the Fate highlight shown by X was so great.
“!”
However, this request was large enough to make me forget that curiosity.
And it piqued the interest of the crazy explorer to the fullest. The corners of Asus’ mouth went up as much as possible.
“Good, it’s my first adventure in a while.”
*
Sailing to the Eastern Continent!
Sailing has always been a gold-eating monster. The ships alone boasted a price of at least tens of thousands of gold or as many as hundreds of thousands of gold. There was no need to mention food or additional consumables.
‘It was worth earning money like a dog.’
Even when tears come to your eyes, you must write like a monk.
In particular, I planned to take care of Explorer, with whom I had a business relationship and an alliance, so that I would not be offended.
Asus said that at least 15 days would be needed.
‘Well, I guess I can finish it in 15 days, right?’
Let’s go straight to Liglian.
Before stopping by the East Continent, X planned to learn the gourmet king’s recipe from Ligrien.
An extravagant recipe made with the legendary animal phoenix as the main ingredient!
So, X decided to beat Phoenix in 15 days.
It was a goal that others would be shocked to hear, but X was full of confidence.
On the other hand, I also felt curious.
“Hmm, do you think you can withstand the javelin?”
X looks at the noble Phoenix like a chicken!
A man and a woman were following behind X. Needless to say, the women of Dallas and the East Continent were there.
Now that he had met X, whom he had been looking for so desperately, Seojiha had nothing better to do.
“I will protect X’s back!”
Seo Ji-ha, who was in a position to serve the princess in the shadows, seemed to have deep knowledge of martial arts.
X was able to sense the flow of energy she was emitting, as she was said to recite Pungwol every three years.
‘It’s a very sharp use of energy.’
Her fist felt like a sharp metal object.
New skills from the East Continent!
It was natural to be interested. Using fists as weapons seemed to have an excellent synergistic effect when combined with the fighting skills of the strong.
“If you have time later, please teach me properly.”
“It’s not a good idea, but I’ll do my best to let you know.”
Dallas, unable to feel energy, tilted his head.
‘Are you telling me how to make a fist?’
Dallas had a quest to complete, but he didn’t want to miss out on this adventure because of the quest.
Plus, there was a suggestion from X.
‘An excellent priest is always a great help.’
Especially in small-scale battles, the priest’s role becomes more important.
Even if a small amount of recovery magic is added to avoid a near-death situation, the situation of the war can change from time to time.
From the moment X made his decision, he had the battle on the Eastern Continent in mind.
According to Seo Ji-ha’s words, the princess’s troops were less than 500. There are about 30 people with special skills like Seo Ji-ha.
Even if he and the Explorer were added together, he was clearly outnumbered. The situation is desperate for a reliable power source like Asus.
Nevertheless, I was confident that I would win, but I was not allowed to be overconfident.
‘Overwhelming victory with minimal damage.’
And get maximum rewards!
That was the battle X pursued.
As I move my head forward, I slowly hear a loud noise. Whenever I hear sesame salt pouring out, it’s something I really hate to hear.
Asus said, scratching his head.
“X, isn’t this Lablina?”
What is there to do in a resort like this? Dallas and Seo Ji-ha give curious looks.
Leaving the two behind,
“Whether I like it or not, I have to catch the key to a hidden place.”
Munchkin that I eat all by myself
