Chapter 346
TL: Zimmings
Jin whistled lightly.
“Wow, I’m scared.”
While saying that, he kept smiling all the time.
I looked at the devils and raised one hand. It meant not to attack.
Jin lightly added more.
“Listen to me.”
I kicked Jin’s calf. Jin grabbed his leg and made a fuss, so I pointed to his chest.
“Your master had a bad personality.”
He shrugged and nodded to the people behind him.
Those who seemed to be his soldiers were aiming at us.
The person who was at the front was very angry because Jin was kicked by me.
“They’re just a guest with bad personality. Go back.”
After Jin said so, they put down their bows.
“Then shall we go?”
“Where?”
Jin turned his back on his soldiers and smiled.
“I forgot to tell you in advance, but you don’t have a choice.”
“.......”
“I think you are cute, but the successor cannot love strangers who have invaded their territory.”
Then in my head, I heard Boone’s voice.
[Child, what should we do?]
I stared at Jin and slowly followed him.
‘Don’t attack. We’ll follow him.’
Because the communication device was out of service, we couldn’t contact Athar in advance.
From their point of view, we were someone who crossed the border without any permission,
but they didn’t directly use their sword is already too much hospitality.
I walked with Jin.
Jin took me to a nearby barracks, where a market was formed around the barracks.
“Come in.”
I sat in a chair in the barracks and looked outside.
When I was in Gahong or Waynes, I thought they were a country with strong characteristics, but the Athar Tribe was also a country like that.
Gahong, Waynes, the Athar Tribe, Mojas.
Among these four countries, Athar was the closest to the empire, and there were few areas where their clothes and cultures resembled ours.
The angled top worn by the men came down to the knees, and a colorful patterned fabric was attached to their chest diagonally, their trousers were wide and tied with a band-like hem.
Instead of a hat, a cloth was wrapped around the head, and instead of a jacket, they wore the skin of a beast.
Instead of heavy skirts, women wore plain skirts that make out their legs and long pants underneath, and like men, they were wearing diagonal colorful fabrics.
There were also many beasts like camels and leopards hanging out in one place.CHeCk for new stories on no/v/el/bin(.)c0m
‘There are so many jars.’
There was also large jars near the chair where I was sitting.
I opened the lid out of curiosity, and Jin quickly f interrupted me, saying, “Oh my gosh.”
“Snake......!”
A huge number of snakes quickly crawled out of the jar.
“Be careful. They don’t like strangers.”
“Isn’t that a poisonous snake?”
“Yes.”
“Why is this in a place where there are so many people...”
“I couldn’t tell ou my arrival because the communication tool was destroyed, but I was ordered by His Majesty, the emperor. Just as you were angry for your country’s honor, I was also displeased with your master, who damaged our country’s honor.”
“.......”
“I admit that I was rude because we had a connection on the academy. I apologize.”
Jin laughed, and Vipasha, who was listening to me quietly, bowed her head.
“It’s nice to meet you, polite, knowledgeable, envoy.”
“.......”
“Welcome to Nashalk.”
I got up, grabbed both ends of the skirt, and bent my knees slightly.
“Thank you for the hospitality.”
After that, Vipasha became noticeably gentle.
She left the barracks, saying she would bring a new tea.
Jin, who was looking at me with his arms in his chin, said.
“Thanks.”
“What?”
“Our tribe boasted the strongest power among the Athar Tribe in the past, but not now. Thanks to that, the people became very wary as they were being beaten around by other tribes. It’s like that for Vipasha.”
“Is the position of the Nashalk tribe weakened?”
“Nashalk is a tribe that succeeded God’s blood. We are the only tribe in Athar that is born with mana and divine power.”
“.......”
“In the past, it was different because of our magical power, but now, divine power is common in the continent. Above all, children are not born easily, so our population is the smallest among other tribe.”
“I see.”
Jin looked at the people of the Nashalk tribe outside the barracks with an expressionless face.
“The Athar Tribe elects a leader once every 50 years. This is the 50th year.”
“.......”
Now that our power has become so weak, what will happen to our tribe if our grandfather is pushed out of the candidates?”
“.......”
“There is a legend in Athar that the child who occupies the temple becomes a mage. We can never let go of it.”
“.......”
“My grandfather and father might not oppose it but all of Kakan (tribe leaders) except for the two are opposing it.”
“.......”
“The temple cannot be destroyed. Kakan don’t believe your emperor’s words that the world will end if they don’t destroy the temple.”
Just in time, Vipasha brought in the tea.
Her face was visibly sad, perhaps because she heard our story.
I was lost in thought as I touched the teacup that Vipasha had put down.
Jin smiled faintly at me.
“So I’m sorry. Athar will not destroy the temple.”
“So, if the leader become someone from Nashalk tribe, can you destroy the temple?”
“......What?”
“It’s not hard to understand. If someone from Nashalk wins this election, we can destroy the temple.”
“That... it’s true.”
I drank tea and said.
“Then it’s easy.”
“What?”
I looked down at the teacup and smiled.
‘Let’s solve it quickly and return to the empire.’
I’ll have to go back in the next two days.
Who am I to say that?
