My Disciples Know That I Am Strong

Episode 18. What other races think of (1)

“I got a call from the delegation.”

Duke Calus threw the papers onto the table. The way he looked at me with his chin up was very annoying.

No matter how old you are and how high your status is, you’re a little cocky. I’m afraid I’ll be stabbed by the warriors!

“…… What did you say?”

I asked, peeking through the papers on the table.

In the document, it was written ‘Memorandum for permission to enter the Aium Kingdom’. It should be written that if you do something useless in your own kingdom, you will pay the price accordingly.

“If you read it there, it should be there, but they said they want some proof that they can be trusted.”

It’s a credible proof…….

As I pondered for a moment, an ingenious thought passed through my head. I inadvertently snapped my fingers and told him.

“What about Princess Se-ri?”

“What?”

“Princess Se-ri is evaluated as incompetent, but she is definitely a child of the imperial family. I think if I can attract Princess Se-ri, she will gain the utmost trust.”

“No. Never!”

From noble mtl dot com

He slammed the table and rose from his seat in a fit of rage. I stared at Calus curiously.

“Why?”

“That, that…… ! Hua, the Huang family is the face of the empire. He does no good by letting foreign countries know who will tarnish the image of the great empire!”

No, no. You’re just afraid that Princess Se-ri will solidify her position through her public activities. He must have been afraid that Chris’ forces would collapse.

His true intentions were so obvious that I couldn’t even laugh. I nodded my head moderately a couple of times and rummaged through his inside pockets.

“Then, can this be enough?”

Waved a golden adventurer’s card in front of him.

“What…… ! An S-class mother, an adventurer? How to do that…….”

“Well, it’s not mine. It’s my disciples. You were officially recognized as an S-class a few days ago.”

At first, I hated the relationship like a teacher and disciple, but now I think I did well.

Every time I introduce myself, I can say that I am not a hero, but a disciple, and I have nothing to be afraid of introducing to others.

Above all, since he was a teacher with an S-class student, he was able to instill the perception that he must be strong. If you have the perception that you are strong, it is convenient in many ways.

“However, even if it is recognized as an S-class, it is not commonly used enough to gain trust in the Aium Kingdom at once.”

“You just have to prove that part with your skills. The S rank is not obtained in vain. Besides, what we are going to catch is the Demon’s Frakchi, but there is a possibility that we will have to deal with the Demon. If we catch the Prakchi and catch the demons, then we have no choice but to trust them.”

That’s what I said, but it’s not a possibility, but I’ll run into demons 100%. Since demons don’t trust humans, they must have planted demons around the nephew. I would have put it next to me so that I could kill it at any time.

In games, Commander Harbito often acts as a spy, so the demons scattered throughout the empire and kingdom seemed to belong to the 4th corps.

I’m sure there will be some that rank high in the Legion. Maybe he noticed something related to the Aium Kingdom, and Stella Forna might come.

“Fornara… ….”

She still feels uncomfortable about defeating her. At that time, it was frantic to save the hero, and other elements were completely excluded.

She felt guilty for deciding that Stella Forna could not be saved, and for ignoring her immediately.

So when I meet Stella Forna, the first thing I will ask is this.

「If I can make you a human, do you have any intention of quitting being a demon?」

Even if you couldn’t save someone, there was a way to turn demons into humans.

I’m sure your mental state is broken, so you won’t hear the proper story. But if it’s just ‘one word’, it’s possible.

If, as a condition of that question, she wants ‘the destruction of her kingdom’, then her side has no choice but to deal with her.

She couldn’t let all the humans in her kingdom and her other race die to save her.

In addition, if you get a big debt by protecting the kingdom from Stella, you may be able to realize the liberation of slaves of other races from the kingdom.

If he didn’t want to listen, then it was just a matter of putting a wedge in that there would be no protection from the demons at that time.

Because kingdoms are easier to use than empires.

“I admit that I have conceited skills, but wouldn’t it be easy to gain trust with just that?”

Since I was lost in my thoughts while looking at the documents, Calus made a sarcastic remark. Anyway, if you don’t look down on the nobility, where is it?

It’s like that because I’ve never come down from a high place in my life. These kids should be sent to hell.

“I would have told you. I will prove it with results.”

“…… What a great feat. It’s absurd, to the point of admiration.”

“Sure. I think I will be amazed too.”

I said as I closed the paper.

Does he know?

That the place where the first resistance appeared was his own territory.

The east side was not adjacent to the Pandemonium at all. This word means ‘peaceful’.

There is less threat from demons, and the difference in temperature between summer and winter is not too severe, so it is optimized for food production.

It boasted a pleasant environment to the extent that there was no chance of running out of food unless there was a tolerable disaster.

It was such a paradise-like environment, but to other races it was like hell. It’s really ironic.

The masters who bought other races as slaves treated the slaves mercilessly only for their own profit.

Taking advantage of the fact that other races are stronger than humans, not providing proper sleep, and eating one meal a day because it was a waste of money, it was normal for them to collapse and even get sick. In the worst case, it was even s*xual exploitation.

Even so, Calus, who rules this territory, was ignoring it.

In the end, to him, slavery was just ‘money’ and ‘a means to earn money’.

Todia and Rexton’s situation was similar to that of the Calus estate in the past, but it was relatively better because it was revised to allow slaves to be handled under the ‘guarantee of the right to live’ by Tori Auss’ persuasion to the emperor.

However, the slavery amendment was not enforced, so it did not apply to all territories.

Typically, the amendment was not applied to the Calus estate. Therefore, what I put forward was the strengthening of the right to live. It means to ‘enforce’ what they were rejecting.

“…… What do you mean?”

“What do you think of other races?”

“It’s a good manpower to use.”

“Is that all?”

“Then? Are you trying to sympathize with them?”

Kalus leans back on the back of his chair and crosses his arms. From his attitude, he was a nobleman with a very bad attitude.

Since he was an aristocrat who was more interested in money than politics, I thought he would be easy to exploit, but personally facing him, he seems much more inflexible than Rexton.

Moreover, this guy is Chris’ loyalist. There will never be anything that turns my body into my power. As long as the resistance doesn’t happen.

“You better be careful with your words.”

“What?”

“If my disciples were here, with those words you just said, your teeth would have been knocked out.”

“Ha…… ! Are you warning the duke?”

“Right?”

I picked up the papers and stood up.

“You don’t have ‘three’ competent S-class like the emperor, and you don’t have a stronger knights than the imperial knights.”

“Are you insulting our Knights?”

He clenches his fist. It seemed that I was angry at the appearance.

“I am not saying that your knights are easygoing. However, I wonder if you can defeat the high-ranking demons with your knights.”

“People and demons are different. People don’t have demons, and there’s no difficulty in killing them! If you don’t apologize right away, you will be held accountable for threatening the duke!”

As I was watching Calus, who was pointing and kicking, I unknowingly snorted him. Hey, are you getting a little more rude than you thought?

“This, you son of a b*tch! Are you laughing now?! Aren’t you afraid in front of the duke?”

“Fear? Are you scared? I know. They kill some high-ranking demons, so I’m not very impressed with that kind of threat.”

“What…… ?”

“And the real threat is doing this.”

The moment he tightened his eyes, his entire body trembled uncontrollably. Fear is encroaching on his eyes, who have received the death penalty.

I looked down at him for a while and then turned around.

This was enough to instill fear. If you do this, you won’t do anything stupid.

No, on the contrary, if you do it, you can use that justification to fight back against the crown prince.

I could go either way at my own pace. Of course, the fight is done by our warriors!

“…… That’s just what i heard You don’t have to be too scared. A colleague who has to deal with the same thing, at least for now.”

I patted the paper and relaxed my eyes.

“Oh, and keep your promise. My request is to strengthen the survival rights of other races. If the empire is able to monopolize resources, if other races die for reasons other than accidents such as natural disasters, then I won’t let it go. Got it?”

“… ….”

Shivering. Couldn’t say anything

Well, Calus isn’t as strong as Glare, and there aren’t some people like Rexton who don’t lose their temper even when frightened.

Even if he’s a duke, in the end he’s just an ordinary human being. It was only the position and position that created his image.

In the end, the more you cling to an illusionary position, the more you will tighten your ankles.

“Answer me.”

“…… That, yes, I get it.”

You reluctantly answer my sidelong glance. He took a deep breath and swallowed dry saliva.

“The wizard will come the next morning. Let’s move together then. Don’t forget to hand in those papers before you go.”

“Not like that.”

“Be quiet when you go to Aium Kingdom. Never think about buying and hitting. The moment you make an accident, a war could break out immediately.”

“I am not that alert.”

I took the papers and ran out of his room.

I headed straight to the drawing room where the party was. As soon as I opened the parlor door and entered, the party stood up as if they had waited.

“Welcome, Master.”

“Yes. I made you wait. Leaving is the next morning. I hope you have some free time until then, but I would like you to do me one favor.”

At this point, should I spend some money on image management?

Because they say they remember helping them the longest when they are in trouble.
