As I nodded in agreement, Levanfell seemed unable to argue anymore and closed his mouth.
“But wait a moment. It’s not over yet.”
“…Yes?”
“What’s left, Your Majesty?”
I raised the hamster happily bloated with fullness on my palm, turned my body, and whispered so that no one could hear.
“Give me my holy relic right now.”
“…Squeak. Squeak. (…Truly a thoroughly calculating wise child.)”
The hamster, Mu, led me with tears to where it had hidden the holy relic.
In the basement of the temple.
Mu ran diligently in a place where not a single ray of light entered. I followed the hamster, bending over and following a narrow passage.
“Squeak. (Wait.)”
Leaving the words, Mu entered between the small cracks in the interlocking walls.
‘Who would hide a holy relic in such a place…’
I confirmed where Mu had disappeared with incredulous eyes.
And a moment later, Mu shouted from between the small cracks.
“Squeak! Squeak! (It’s hard to pull out with a hamster’s body! Hey! Help me!)”
“Why did you put it in such a place…”
I muttered absurdly and stuck my arm into the crack. Then, something given by Mu caught in my hand with a clinking sound.
“Squeak. (Done. Pull it out.)”
It felt nice in my hand. I carefully pulled the object from between the walls.
“…A wine glass?”
Then, a wine glass adorned with gold and all kinds of precious jewels revealed itself. Mu poked only its face from between the walls and spoke arrogantly.
“Squeak. (This is my gift.)”
“…”
“Squeak. Squeak. Squeak. (It is a holy relic imbued with the power of a god. It will be of great help if you want to keep a secret. I offer it with tears; please accept it gladly.)”
A few days later.
The Empress of the Leonhalta Empire was the first in the continent to have luckily, fortuitously! discovered the holy relic of God Semula. The news spread widely.
[Star Icon][Star Icon][Star Icon]In a town close to the capital.
The streets, always filled with gloom, were unusually noisy. The faces of the merchants, always angry, were filled with smiles, and children ran happily through the streets.
A man wearing a deeply pulleddown hat sat in the side seat of the coachman and looked around.
“It’s a pity, young man, that we have to leave the capital without witnessing the holy ritual. What’s the rush?”
The coachman chatted warmly with the man as he drove. Normally, he would not have conversed, but today was different.
“Did you hear about the holy ritual day a while ago? The temple was infected with a contagious disease, but the temple official Elihu used a huge divine power and cured all the contagion?”
“…Yes. I heard.”
The voice of the man with the deeply pulleddown hat subtly faltered. The coachman, oblivious to this, laughed happily.
“My cousin’s friend’s child’s friend’s parent went to the temple to attend the holy ritual, you know…”
“…What’s the relationship?”
“You youngsters! Listen well. …Ahem. My cousin’s friend’s child’s friend’s parent it is.”
“They’re total strangers, then.”
“They went to the temple to attend the holy ritual, but, well… the temple was closed due to the spread of contagion or something?”
Despite the shocking news, the man’s reaction was dull. As if he already knew a lot.
“The Emperor and the Empress were inside when the temple was closed. Everyone was trembling in fear that this might be the end. But then, you see…!”
The coachman increased the speed of the carriage and shivered in excitement.
Certainly! Here is the translation of the provided passage:
“Suddenly, in the imperial palace, a divine power was poured out, and didn’t it end all situations at once?”
“…You mean, poured out the divine power.”
“Right! It wasn’t just pouring; it was literally poured out by the Deputy Elihu!”
The coachman wore a happy smile.
“What does this mean? It means that Lord Simula has not abandoned us!”
“…Well, I don’t know about that.”
“Hey! This person is talking nonsense! It’s natural since Elihu used Lord Simula’s power! …But you know, this is between us.”
The coachman looked around and lowered his voice.
“I hear that a saint may have been born.”
“…A saint?”
“Right! They say the difference between Elihu’s usual divine power and this power was too great… so there are talks that a saint might have been born, but whatever.”
“…”
“If a saint is born, so what? If not, so what? The important thing is that Lord Simula has not abandoned us! Right? Hahaha!”
The coachman left the market street joyfully, his hat pulled down, his eyes wandering towards the capital and the palace.
“But to me, doesn’t the Empress look like the goddess of fortune for the empire? Have you heard the rumors that the Empress has discovered Lord Simula’s holy relic for the first time on the continent?”
“Yes. It’s noisy.”
“Isn’t the Empress the fortune that Lord Simula has bestowed upon us?”
The man in the hat was deep in thought. The coachman stopped the carriage halfway up the mountain.
“But what’s here? Young man. There’s no village nearby.”
“Yes. The next carriage is scheduled to come.”
“The next carriage?”
The man in the hat got off the carriage and replied lightly.
“Yes. I have unavoidable circumstances, so it must not be known where I came from and where I am going.”
“You’re a merchant! Hahaha. But I’m more curious. Why can’t you tell me where you’re going?”
“…I’m going to Eteria Empire. I think I can’t stay here any longer.”
“You told me more easily than I thought! Eteria Empire, huh. Be careful, the road is dangerous.”
The man in the hat stopped replying and fumbled for money to pay for the ride. Seeing this, the coachman waved his hands.
“Never mind! I won’t take the fare today! I’ve been having a hard time getting customers lately. Today is a lucky day; I made a lot of money! I should share it on such a day. Maybe I’ll buy some meat for my wife and daughter.”
“…”
“Since you’re a merchant, you must have had a hard time, too. Keep the fare, but if you see someone struggling later, help them.”
The coachman’s kindness made the man in the hat hesitate for a moment, then he took out a small flask instead of money and offered it.
“What’s this?”
“Drink it.”
The coachman tilted his head but accepted the flask from the man. When he opened the lid, a fragrant aroma filled the air.
“Oh. Is this alcohol? You know something good! I’ll let the fare go!”
The coachman gulped down the liquid in the flask. Watching him, the man took off his hat.
His long silver hair fluttered in the wind, and the blue eyes hidden under the hat shone bright.
“It’s nice to see. People should live like this, giving and caring for each other. …To live like today, we need to create the World Tree quickly.”
“Cough! Ack!”
The coachman dropped the flask and clutched his throat in agony. Suddenly, the startled horse neighed and dashed forward.
“…Think of it as a sacrifice for the whole continent, so that I can create the World Tree.”
The man, the most wanted criminal on the continent, the leader of the Ferdia experiment.
Alchemist Generba slowly walked to the edge of the cliff where the carriage and coachman had fallen and looked down.
Below the cliff. A smashed carriage and horse.
And the coachman, dead, his body as pale as if all the color had drained from it, just like Ferdia’s test subject.
“Don’t worry. I will restore this world soon.”
With an indifferent expression, Generba offered her condolences to the dead coachman and turned away.
Her original goal was to infiltrate the capital by taking advantage of the weakened security, which was focused on containing an epidemic in the imperial palace.
Certainly, here is the translated passage:
But contrary to expectations, the resolution of the substitution incident did not lead to lax security; it only became more stringent.
“……A saint.”
Generba’s expression, as she looked at the palace, was as cold as a fierce north wind.
My Ex-Girlfriend Is The Regent In The Female-dominant World (Male lead transmigrates to the matriarchal world)
Two years ago, Gu Sui picked up a homeless woman in ancient costume from the street.
Apart from occasionally claiming to be a princess from a female-dominant country due to illness, her figure, appearance, intelligence, and martial arts skills were impeccable.
Naturally evolving from roommates to girlfriends, as time went on, Gu Sui found it increasingly difficult to tolerate her queen syndrome.
“Mu Jiulu, can you stop controlling me inside and out? Let’s break up.”
Gu Sui made a breakup call, and since then, he couldn’t find any trace of her.
A year later, Gu Sui, who was planning to move, woke up the next day and found himself in a different place.
“Young Master, today is the day you choose your Wife-master through martial arts competition at Jade Dew Pavilion. Please get up quickly.”
Gu Sui: Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing?
As the only son of a general’s mansion in a female-dominant dynasty, the young empress personally issued a decree allowing Gu Sui to select his Wife-master through martial arts competition. Whoever could defeat him could marry him.
Gu Sui: “……”
He didn’t inherit the original owner’s martial prowess, so anyone could defeat him! And what the hell is a Wife-master?
Forced to come to Jade Dew Pavilion, the densely packed women below made Gu Sui’s agoraphobia act up, and his face was full of resistance.
Until he saw the Regent sitting on the second floor, with a smile on the corner of her lips, her eyes wicked and nonchalant.
Hmm… she looked a little familiar.
It turned out that the Regent also found him a little familiar.
Mu Jiulu fiddled with her bone clasp, her deep gaze locked on the man who was out of place in this world.
“Finally, I found you.”
