Captain wakes up 100,000 year later

20. Metropolis metropolis

The white moon is filling the sky. The Bear Moon, the symbol of the wounded goddess, is the Lunar New Moon Iriya. The goddess wept for the dead and turned to stone. Finally, she was lifted up to heaven and wept again today.

As the sun was still setting, I was floating on the bright sky, just floating on the moon, filling the sky with sunsets far away.

“Huff! Huff! ”

Baselsto's anger subsides after a long run. A drop of blood was formed on the feet of a shoe that had been distracted for a long time. Beyond the cliff is the scent of the deep sea.

To the west, you see the sea far away.

At the end of the sea, the sunset sets the sea on fire. It was a mangrove sea at the edge of the Elves' forest. An Elf sailed into this continent by sea.

To the east you see the desolate plains of Illuvelas.

A deep earthly spider flows down from the Pyon Mountains. Soon, only darkness will descend on that poor and broken land.

Baselsto sits on a cliff and starts filtering the stone from the soles of his wounded feet.

“Mother · · · ·. ”

It was a small house, but I missed my mother who always shared a warm meal.

Baselsto's dinner today was so terrible that he had to run like this.

The appearance of a delightful dining table full of fascinating dishes was not an expression of wealth, but a desperate pretense of a dying family. And the dining area was a battlefield without knives.

A predecessor of the Rhythmic family of the Elf Republic. The Republic's regime of pre-eminent wives elected Führer was the pride of the Elven Nation. Windstarter is a declining family, rumor has it that they will soon be expelled from the podium.

So, at the head of the twelve grandchildren's table, the godmother, Bageria Windstarter, said to give a way to protect the family's wealth.

While listening to others' stories, she sometimes nodded and complimented, and still frowned before she could hear it as it was her turn as legal successor, Baselsto.

From the moment Baselstow opened her mouth, she began to scold, and from the moment she finished speaking, she cursed and cursed, and finally threw the bowl in her face without overcoming her temper.

As the bowl of pasta passes by the side of his head, he can no longer stand it and greets the godmother.

“Why are you doing this? Godmother, this is a viable business. ”

The godmother got up and walked ten paces further away from the table and responded with a thick palm of her hand. Baselsto can't help but slap him on the cheek and take a few steps back.

The sheep said that the retreat was a proof of weakness, but the godmother did not take her finger and shouted louder.

“What? Why are you doing this? You're such an idiot! A human hybrid! Is that what your human mother taught you? What do you want that ruined Illuvelas Territory to take back your loans to? You want me to lend a deputy to this battlefield that looks like Prince Noum has taken control of the North? Cash?”

Now Baselstow, who had heard the curse of his deceased mother Cerastian, kept his lips shut. Obviously, she was human. I looked around at the people he was dining with.

"Godmother! That's not true. Surely that land is worth more than that. This may sound like a gamble, but it's definitely a trend analysis!"

My face turned red. His nephews were laughing at him. No one was on his side.

"What?"

He was not a formal heir, but a child of a concubine. As his father died and his mistress became godmother and ruler of the commerce of Wind Starter, his standing was dwindling day by day. Besides, she's human. It will truly look like half of an elf nobleman's eye.

“Sister, don't be so angry. She's not a child yet. ”

“Scanda!”

It was my father's younger brother. He was aiming to become the successor of the Hochtam, who recently baked and boiled the godmother into an enemy of Baselsto.

“You know what this stupid kid says? ”

“Be patient, Lady Vageria. How long has it been since we lost all the merchant fleets that the young boy made fun of? ”

They stab the sick again. A month ago, all three of Baselsto's merchant fleets were burned down. We don't know if it was a pirate or someone, but we've seen some terrible property damage and the unsub hasn't caught a shadow yet. Thanks to you, all the naval routes have been lost to that scinda.

“It doesn't suit our fair bloodline to be mad at ChilChild who can't even keep his own ship. ”

I couldn't take it anymore, so Baselstow left, ignoring the godmother and Scanda. Early evening when the stars haven't risen yet. I ran for a long time and stood on this cliff.

“Hoo! Stupid old godmother! She doesn't understand at all. The captain not only defeated the dragons, he turned the Empire army! Even if we have a hundred times the power, we can still beat them, but we can't move them forward. Besides, the defeated empire won't even try to provoke me again. It means there's something on the ground that we don't know about. Dammit! If only I was a little older! ”

Kick the rocks hard. I wanted to become a legal adult quickly because I was one or two years older in a reality where it was difficult for me to stay in the heir competition.

Thanks to my father's care for me, I didn't take all my property because of the high ranking merchants and the legal protection nets, but if it really was godmother and Scanda who set the merchant ship on fire, my life would be at stake. Insulting them might give them time to escape.

At that time, as the sun slowly sets, the sunset completely sinks from the western end. At this time, you will see countless stars, and endless darkness over the horizon.

This time when color disappeared and light and darkness were mixed, it was not just a city, forest, robbery, plains, a ruin that was swept away by war, but a dream. Time was running out, and the deep darkness was the only rest for Baselsto. No, I had to.

Strangely, the deep darkness of Illuvelas must be enveloped. In the middle of the plains was a huge castle lighthouse that had never been seen before. I've been coming here for a long time to lose my ship and work my ass off, but how can that change in such a short time?

There was no darkness on the walls of the tall castle. How would Baselstow know? Instead of raising torches to illuminate the darkness, the entire wall is shining a subtle, lemon-colored glow! Not only that, there was a blazing flame shining on the massively high lighthouse.

“What is that? It's as bright as daylight. ”

Baseltos hurriedly took out his magic glasses and looked at the lighthouse.

Oh, my God, the great fire spirit. A monarchy monster stands at the lighthouse. Every time he turns his head around, the light sweeps across the plain along his eyes, like a powerful search light from the lighthouse shining across the sea.

“Well, that's a ridiculous waste! ”

The Monarch Fire Spirit is a monster that summons a war chest with a strategic weapon. There was no need for that to be a lighthouse.

It's funny to build a lighthouse on the plains, but even if you have a reason for diarrhea, a Fire Lieutenant Spirit is enough. But you're a monarch? Baselsto decided.

“I'm sure. Illuvelas is different. All in. We must defeat Scander. ”

Unlike when he left, he took a bold step toward the Windstarters.

* * *

Lord of the undersea volcano, acting as a lighthouse!

It may be humiliating to the monarch, but the captain was stubborn. However, as Luna became able to dominate Lascala, Lascala became a symbol of Metropolis. Of course, not many people know about this yet.

A lighthouse has been erected over the gates of the great metropolis where a thousand may march at the same time. On the lighthouse was his body.

Above the arch of the archway, Lascala's incarnation holds the flail. The water and fire that flowed from his body wrapped around the arched door columns and lit up. A magic fire that is not hot, even if it is not hostile to you.

“Farewell, Spirit! ”

“Goodbye! Rascala!”

Children from nearby villages who did not choose to stay in the dormitory waved their hands and left Metropolis. At first, I was trembling, but after a while, I adapted to his appearance. While most students are getting their yellow shuttle bus home, children living in very small villages around Metropolis often walk home like this.

As I looked at the children, Lascala, who was like an ocean volcano in a puddle of water, waved her hands.

“Be careful! Humans!"

All students in Illuvelas receive mandatory training in Metropolis. The captain registers all DNA to find the most suitable super-soldiers for Waschut, and at the same time teaches advanced technology and how to handle Android synchronization. How plasma is formed, at least boiling water at some degree. Without this scientific knowledge, the world's students had a lot to learn.

Most students were training with magic, spirituality, and error swords. The advantages of synchronization were unimaginable, that nuclear power plants could use enormous magic. All of this was taught quickly through virtual reality systems.

The spirit lord sends the passing children and points fingers at the envoys coming in.

“All right! Who are you? ”

“Well, we are the ambassadors of the Republic."

“Fine! No fighting. Of course not. Be nice and behave yourself. I'm being watched by Rascala, the spirit lord of the underwater volcano! ”

His giant index finger is bigger than a human. Two humans nod with a shrugged look in front of the spirit of the underwater volcano, pointing their fingers at it.

He still doesn't listen to others. But deaf friends are better off if they're the same. Immediately, a puddle of water rises from the floor, sweeping through the people once and then disappearing.

“Not a problem. Let's go!”

After discussing all the information with the captain, he seemed to be satisfied with his role. It was certainly more fun to greet humans as they passed by than to sleep for 10,000 years in the belly of a monster.

“I can't believe it. It really is a monarchy spirit. But, Baselsto, the godmother has given us permission, but we will not meet. Maybe the Lord of Spirits is just bluffing. ”

Lord Birmy said. Baselsto was sitting on his chair tapping nervously, with two long-eared elves staring at Baselsto with deep eyes. It's a fight for a successor. The godmother wagered on the downfall of the business, and Baselsto had to succeed.

“Lord Birmy. I'm sure it's not. Who in the world would summon a Spirit Monarch as an exhibition? We have to get this done before others can open a deal. ”

“Baselstow, however, the entire Illuvelas Plain is truly infernal. Some of the people who resigned themselves after the invasion of the empire had never returned to their homes. Do you think ghouls will spread in droves? ”

Dead bodies that do not die well become ghouls if they receive the moonlight of Iriya for a long time. Some people abandoned their homes and came to the city of Illuvelas to disobey the captain's order to live. They died defending their homeland and became ghouls.

Among the survivors, the woman was pillaged, the man killed, and the dog that lost his house became a wild dog, filling the field. This grudge raises the corpse as a ghoul, dragging the abandoned dogs around and attacking unfortunate travelers. A land of filth and blood spilled from the guts of the dead and hunted. Illuvelas was a terrible wasteland.

The captain has still left the land. After clearing the area around the metropolitan area, he had to absorb and manage distant lands step by step. We had to weave a compartment and send the security robot down.

“But Lord Birmy, Baselsto was right, too. Look at this castle. I've never seen such a huge fortress in my life. ”

This castle was so tall that it had to turn its head all the way to the top, and in the center of it was a magnificent and huge castle that had never been seen before. Tyrant's masterpiece.

“They say it's Metropolis. Look at that shiny fortress up there. That castle, decorated with gold and silver, is a form I've never seen before. The towers are so tall and spectacular."

The things he said were the ion cannon launchers and CIWS facilities.

“Baselstow. I can see you're clearly more magnificent than the emperor. It must have been the warrior who caught the dragon and even robbed the Rare Dragon. It would have been the foundation of national governance. I don't know if they'll take a loan. Getting the deal first. ”

“Sebastian, you're right, but I find it difficult, to be honest. Baselsto, we can't afford to waste our last chance like this. This castle is so magnificent that the king will not take care of his people. You can build a castle like this with magic, but you can't feed your people with magic. ”

Baselsto shakes his head firmly to Birmy, who was about to change his mind to the end.

“It's too late. Birmi. Even if we do, we must make a deal with the Captain King. He took a lot of our shares. All the marine roots were in his hands. We need a new customer. ”

Birmy finally looks back at the spectacular fortress of Illuvelas with his insecure eyes, without saying a word.

Clearly, they broke through the desolation of Illuvelas and the metropolis they had reached was incredibly spectacular. The whole wall was covered in an unrecognizable material with a faint glow, and exotic weapons were plotted against the wall. The soldiers in fancy armor had LEDs attached to their shoulders and chest legs, giving off a subtle glow.

“But are these really all real? Are they being fooled by powerful illusions? ”

Sebastian's face rises red. It was because I saw the castle in a fairy tale.

It was built to be 'admired by everyone' as the captain asked.

“Hey, I'll check it out. ”

At that time, the spirit's finger bends in and opens the window. And the eyes of the great flame glance at the merchants.

The merchants look at you with enormous eyes and grin desperately.

"Haha..."

"Hmmm!"

Lascala looks inside. At the same time, clear water rises beneath the wagon, sweeping through the group. Lascala confirmed that there is nothing wrong.

“Three Elves. Four horses. Go inside!”

The door opens. The blue shield opens, and you see a path through it. As they passed, the barrier came down again and blocked the passage.

Immediately after entering, they were amazed. It was because a clean metropolis that had never been seen on this earth was opened before them.

Thoroughly compartmentalized city. Huge schools for raising students are available sectors, and houses with families of specially selected students are available on the streets.

Expensive crystals were being used as if it were natural for the shops around the entrance, and there was not a hint of metropolitan dirt. All the sections were perfectly organized, over 10 stories of buildings, and quiet little golems on the side of the road? It was a cleaning robot. It was wandering around cleaning. However, the quiet road was unusual because there was so many people.

“Ooh, will our vice minister be accepted? ”

Birmi was embarrassed and said in a different way. There seemed to be nothing missing in this castle. As soon as Sebastian walked through the entrance, he read one of the tortures that appeared to be floating on the giant screen.

"Will any of them who die of old age swear everlasting loyalty? I will give you a magical body and give you two hundred years of freedom after a hundred years of fighting with the king's knights."

Sebastian and Birmi look at each other's faces.

"Y-you don't think this is a commando?"

"This land just keeps getting weirder and weirder. Let's quickly learn about His Majesty."
