Chapter 302 - Episode Two - A Certain Fixer's Fate (1) (SIde: Peter)

Peter, the ex-Emperor, Peltaire, and his subordinate, Myunhi, were walking in the territory of the Raingrum Frontier Counts in the Dinrat Kingdom.

The Raingrum family is a n.o.ble family that has been a.s.sisting Peter for generations, and this territory was one of Peter’s bases.

“It’s been so long, I thought I was going to die a few times ……”

As he looked at the building in the distance, Peter let out a weak voice.

His eyes were hidden by a cracked mask, but even so, his lips were twisted in a way that showed his fatigue.

Peter’s subordinate, Myunhi, who was walking beside him, saw his face and frowned.

Peter looked sideways at her face and chuckled.

“But …… even though the schedule has fallen apart, I’m pretty sure we were able to revive the patron G.o.d of the Dinrat Kingdom. I thought it was a more dangerous spirit weapon, so I was going to bind it and control it no matter what, but …… if it looks like that, there’s nothing more I can do. I’ve seen it firsthand, and I don’t think there’s anything in this world that can do anything about it.”

Originally, Peter’s goal was to revive Kudor in preparation for the coming disaster.

The only reason he wanted to keep it under control was that he was unsure of its true nature.

It was for this reason that he had abandoned his position and repeatedly prolonged his life through forbidden magic.

“I would have liked to have nipped the uncertainty in the bud, but …… It’s not up to me to make that decision either, since I couldn’t control the G.o.d Kudor. I’ve done all I can. I’ve prolonged my life for forty years…”

“That, that’s right…… Peter-sama, thank you for your hard work.”

“You’ve been through a lot, but you’ve cooperated well, Zolomonia.”

Peter looked next to him and stopped speaking.

He then let out a weak sigh.

“I’ve been annoyed by her presence, but I’m going to miss her when she’s gone.”

Zolomonia has already been unsealed and released.

She has left her summoning crest to Abel, and her body is now free.

It’s not safe to leave her out in the open, but she risked her life in the end to fight Kudor, as Peter said, and Peter didn’t feel like capturing her right away.

If it was really dangerous, Kudor, who should be around Abel as well as Zolomonia, would do whatever he could, so there was no need for Peter to worry about it.

“…… Peter-sama, are you sure that one of your objectives, the religious unification of the Dinrat Kingdom through war against other countries, was correct?”

Peter shook his head at Myunhi’s question.

“That would be impossible without the cooperation of the G.o.d Kudor. Besides, Kudor is too powerful. Originally, the unification of religions was intended to prevent him from making a move …… but now that Kudor is here, it is not something that should be allowed to pa.s.s, even if it creates danger and misfortune. I guess that means I’m retired for good.”

“You’ve mentioned him often, but who is he, ……?”

“Well, I guess it’s safe to say. I once faked my death and left the Pope’s body forty years ago,……, and shortly before that, I met him.”

“Well, which one is ……?”

“The monster, Count Julem.”

“Count Julem ……?”

Myunhi was puzzled.

Count Julem is half a fairy tale.

He is said to have been an earl in the Dinrat Kingdom about 600 years ago, and one day he disappeared.

However, more than a hundred years later, people began to see a person who resembled Count Julem not only in the Dinrat Kingdom, but also in various parts of the world.

It was said that he would be present at major events that would go down in history, but would be laughing by himself far away from his surroundings.

It was a famous story that 90% of the people in the Dinrat Kingdom knew.

However, there are few people who really believe it.

Every once in a while, a new rumor would appear, but it would only be an afterthought, a misunderstanding, or an outright lie.

Every year, there are a few people who claim to be Count Julem, and at the annual Lomarn masquerade festival, there are always people dressed up as Julem.

In case you were wondering, this year’s Lomarn masquerade festival was a rare event where the majority of the partic.i.p.ants dressed up as Gaston, but that’s not important.

Myunhi looks at Peter with suspicion.

Even someone as loyal to Peter as Myunhi was, she couldn’t decide if it was true or not.

There was a high possibility that he was imagining things or that he was just joking.

Peter responded to Myunhi’s suspicion with a smile.

“We’ve also talked, you know. We met in the throne room on the top floor …… of what was then the Grand Palace of Dinrat. He had the guards crucified against the wall and was sitting on the throne waiting for me.”

“Count Julem is ……?”

Myunhi’s face was bewildered.

The concept of good and evil was unclear to Count Julem.

There is no record of him ever going on a raid on the palace.

“He said. “Lord Peltaire, I will eventually turn the other four powers against Dinrat at the same time. Poor Pope, by that time you will be too old to be in this world ……” “

Myunhi’s puzzled face turns to astonishment.

“Ohhhh …… so, so that’s why ……!”

The Four Great Kingdoms are the countries that the four great creator G.o.ds are said to have founded in the past.

And If it were to happen at the same time, they bare their fangs at the Dinrat Kingdom, the Dinrat Kingdom would certainly be destroyed.

In order to prevent this from happening, Peter had to abandon his ident.i.ty and put his faith in mythology to continue his pursuit of Kudor.

The religious unification of the other four kingdoms was also a preemptive strike to protect the country in antic.i.p.ation of the attack that Count Julem would eventually launch.

“As if in a fairy tale …… he can conjure up magical phenomena that don’t involve spirits at all. I fought him, but …… fufu, he gave me a bad time. No one ever mentioned that Count Julem was talking, so I didn’t expect him to be that talkative. At that rate …… he’s not just a bystander, he’s intervened in history many times. If he’s able to do that, it might not be impossible to inspire four nations that have a religious grudge against the Dinrat kingdom to attack it, even if they don’t show it.”

“Oh, no ……”

“I still see Count Julem in my dreams, but after seeing …… the G.o.d Kudor, I seem to have stopped seeing him altogether. Count Julem was a formidable opponent, but I don’t think he could do anything against G.o.d Kudor and Abel.”

Peter laughs.

As a result of abandoning his ident.i.ty and bending his beliefs to stay alive, he had finally succeeded in reviving the power to destroy the monsters of history.

Myunhi laughs as well.

While they were talking, they had arrived at the mansion where they were based.

Myunhi opened the door and stepped out of the way, letting Peter pa.s.s first.

“Now that we’ve served our purpose, there’s no point in pointlessly disrupting the world and prolonging our lives.”

Peter muttered sadly.

“Peter-sama, that is ……!”

“Is what I would like to say …… but I’m sure that G.o.d Kudor will at least allow us to see the future of the Dinrat Kingdom and the end of the Count.”

Peter says, and Myunhi laughs.

“And …… I’m not sure what Abel-chan will do if I don’t keep an eye on him …… But if it’s me, I’m going to take advantage of me, and I can’t come on too strong, so maybe I’ll just die and change my name. I like this face, though ……”

Myunhi’s smile stopped.

She also covers her face with her hands and lets out a sad sigh.

“Will I be a savior or a G.o.d of destruction ……?”

“I think it’s most likely that you’ll achieve both.”

“That’s why it’s not in my nature. Baron Lark is amazing. He can have that monster and still be able to hold it at that level. I thought he was a timid softy, but if he’s controlling it deliberately, he’s doing a h.e.l.l of a job.”

Myunhi wiped Peter’s cold sweat with a cloth.

Peter’s mouth twisted in suspicion as he walked up the stairs.

“There’s no one welcoming us……? I knew something was wrong when I saw the door. I wonder if anyone’s home.”

Peter tilted his head as he said this.

Myunhi put his hand on the door at the back of the fourth floor, the top level.

“What the ……!”

Myunhi exclaimed.

The room was stained with blood, and more than a dozen of Peter’s men and servants were lying in a pool of blood.

At the back of the room, in the chair where Peter was sitting, sat a stout, greenish-white haired man of advanced years.

“It’s been a long time, Lord Peltaire. What do you think, it’s just like the old days, isn’t it? I’m embarra.s.sed to admit it, but I’m a bit more sophisticated than I’d like to admit.”
