Reader’S Regeneration Life [EN]: Chapter 279

279―――――

Seven Times Is Too Much

―···The exact reason is unknown, but it seems certain that the fairies were involved.

―

I’ve read that part over and over.

I’ve, a native of Nudia, knew that the royal palace, the heart of Hispania, had been attacked.

However, since little information was leaked to the outside, most people thought that those who were dissatisfied with the Spanish royal family had done it, or that demons or demon followers had done it, as they always had.

They never imagined that fairies would take the lead in doing such a thing, which could cause extreme chaos in the human world.

“···.”

I’ve put down the report on the attack on the Spanish royal palace and looked at a man kneeling before her.

To be exact, she was looking at a male fairy.

“Kkeueuk···.”

At first glance, it seemed like he had been tortured a lot, but other than being emaciated, there were no signs of torture on his body.

His eyes were sunken and looked like rotten fish eyes, but I’ve knew very well that the pride of the fairies was too strong to be in such a state due to mere physical torture.

“Aren’t you a little embarrassed to see your great fairy like this?”

“Th, that’s··· a little bit.”

“This guy is part of the force that released monsters behind Klausen and incited your Nudia to attack Klausen again before.

And then he lied that it was the work of the beastmen to cause confusion.”

“Is that true?”

“Yes.

If you’re suspicious of just listening to me, let’s listen to this friend.”

Sion approached the male fairy, Novasi.

Then, without hesitation, he stomped on his head and slammed him into the ground.

“Keoeuk!”

“Glorious seed of light, Novasi.

I humbly ask this lowly human a question.

Will you answer?”

“Keoeueu! S, save me, please.

Please, please, not that···.”

“The friend who is good at that is not here yet.

But if our noble Novasi doesn’t answer properly, we’ll have to bring that friend.”

“N, no!

No!

Kkyaaaaak!”

It was a scream so desperate that it was hard to believe that he was a noble and proud race.

To put it without exaggeration, it was similar to a pig squealing.

Looking at the scene, I’ve was able to accidentally learn that ‘Ah, fairies are also a race that makes such stupid screams.’

“Novasi.

Please shut your mouth.”

Peoeok!

Sion’s kick hit his side, and Novasi finally groaned and stopped making pig-slaughtering noises.

“Thank you, Novasi.

You listen to me very well.

In that sense, I’m going to ask you a few questions, is that okay?”

“Kkeueueu···.”

“I’ll take that as a yes.

Why were you caught by me, Novasi?”

“To target··· Klausen’s back.”

“Be more specific.

Before I bring my friend.”

“Euaaak!

I released the monster behind Klausen!

The comrades in Nudia attacked Klausen at the same time to destroy him from the front and back!

Euaaa!

Don’t bring that human!

Euaaak!”

“You did a good job, Novasi.”

Sion said that and stepped on his head again.

Meanwhile, I’ve was blinking her eyes, trying hard to accept what she was hearing and seeing in her brain.

“S, so··· the fairies were central to the attack on the Spanish royal palace, then targeted Klausen, and secretly released their own people in Nudia to make Nudia attack, is that right?”

“Why are you so slow to understand?

Hey, Novasi.

If you don’t speak properly, the human won’t understand.

If you keep doing this, I’ll have to harass you a little.”

As Sion made a ‘Tss!’ sound with his mouth, Novasi was shocked.

If Kim Yu-hyeon’s method gave more pain than any other torture in the world, Sion’s method drove all living beings crazy.

If Kim Yu-hyeon had a truth room in the Murim Mountains [martial arts world] called ‘Bungeun Chakgol’ [a painful acupuncture point], Sion had a truth room in capitalism called ‘Carbonic Acid in the Nose’!

“How can this be···.”

“The fairies say that themselves.

When they don’t want to open their mouths, they won’t open their mouths to any persuasion or torture, and when they open their mouths, they only tell the truth.

In that case, I don’t think that Novasi is lying to me or you.”

I’ve listened to Sion’s words and began to organize her thoughts like crazy.

The fairies, for some reason, are hostile to Hispania and keep plotting something.

They even used their comrades in Nudia to target Klausen.

After that, Nudia claimed that there were demon followers in Hispania, citing the events in their country, and insisted on starting their own holy war.

At first, the nobles thought, ‘What nonsense is this?’ but at some point, they started shouting for war as if they were being manipulated by someone.

Even the royal family remained silent, implying that they agreed with the nobles’ wishes.

‘Is it too much of a prediction?’

No, it’s not.

Rather, it is a very reasonable prediction and suspicion.

If they are involved in everything that happened in Nudia, then everything is explained.

The nobles, who were expected to express their opposition, all agreed, and the unexplained fire in Nudia’s territory before.

Everything fits together as if it were planned, as if they had made a promise.

“But···.”

However, if you suspect that, there is one question left.

Those who call themselves the seeds of the descendants of light and follow them so much.

Why do they cause chaos on the continent and make each other see blood and cry out in pain?

That’s not what’s written in the teachings of light, that’s not what the descendants of light want!

“Maybe it’s one of two things.”

Sion asked Rishikida to clean up this trash again and continued.

“Those who thought they were followers of the descendants of light forever have fallen.

If not.”

“If not···?”

“There’s a saying among the northern warriors.

The upper stream must be clear for the lower stream to be clear.

If the lower stream is muddy, I wonder if the upper stream is clean.”

Then I’ve stared at Sion with a surprised look.

Perhaps it was because of the atmosphere Sion had shown so far, but it was quite shocking to I’ve that such cold words came out of his mouth and that he was suspicious of the descendants of light, not anyone else.

“What on earth··· what on earth, Young Master Sion Klausen, you.

How much do you know, how far do you look and move?

To have grasped all of that.

That’s···.”

Sion approached I’ve and gently grabbed her face.

Then, he made her look in the direction where Novasi had disappeared and opened his mouth.

“What’s important now is not me.

You have to worry about Nudia right now.

There are those who tried to use Nudia to ruin Hispania, but if Nudia becomes dangerous, wouldn’t they try to abandon that card right away?

In that case, only Nudia will be stuck with the blame and will have to be ruined.”

“Ah···.”

“It’s true that I don’t have good feelings for Nudia.

But more than that, I want to catch and kill the guys who were hiding behind and doing nonsense.

So I’m going to go into Nudia.

I’m going to go and destroy everything related to those guys.”

“···.”

“The reason I’m letting you live, a warning.

Go back and warn the people of Nudia.

Those who are innocent should get out of the way, and those who are guilty should run away or fight back.

That way I can enjoy it a little more, right?

If I do that, I’ll be able to find out what the truth is.”

Sion paused for a moment and waited for I’ve’s reaction.

Perhaps by now, all kinds of information have entered her head and she herself is confused.

She knew that this war was fought with unreasonable justification, but the fact that it was not simply due to Nudia’s greed, but that something else was involved and fueled the fire.

And she learned that they had been preparing to do things for a long time.

It’s not just a fight between the two countries, but something much more complicated is intertwined.

Sion also acknowledged that fact, and this intelligent woman learned about it.

“···Are you creating an escape route for us?”

“Hmm?”

“Nudia was also deceived.

I can’t say that they are innocent, but rather than hating them as enemies, they are pitiful people who were used, so I don’t want you to hate them too much.

Are you asking if you want to show that to Hispania, Young Master Sion Klausen?”

“Well··· I guess you could say that.”

In fact, in order to use Nudia as a battlefield, it was necessary to turn the public sentiment there to this side.

And if I were to save the public sentiment there, I would make the nobles lean towards the pro-Hispania side to make things easier in Nudia.

‘If you fight in Hispania, the land price will drop, and if you fight in Nudia, the problem is that it’s not near my house and it’s inconvenient.

Then the problem is simple.

Just make Nudia like home.’

Now the relationship between Hispania and Nudia has become enemies, but originally the relationship between people and the relationship between countries easily happens and is unexpectedly easily recovered.

And the best way to lead to that path was to create a common enemy and draw a picture of uniting and fighting against each other.

‘Start with the fairies, and then make them wary of the Celestial Race.’

The Celestial Race is not God.

They are revered as sacred, but they are not considered inviolable.

They can be suspected at any time and can be hostile at any time.

However, until now, their belief in them was so strong that if they said such things carelessly, they would be branded as demon followers and the probability of having only enemies would be high, so they had been silent.

But once a crack goes into that belief, the gap widens in an instant.

On the outside, it looks solid, but inside, there are still many people who are not sure whether this is right or wrong, so if you just push their backs and whisper in their ears, ‘This doesn’t seem right,’ they will rise up on their own.

‘It’s too unfair for me to suffer alone, right?

We have to suffer together.

I can’t do it alone!’

There are people who need to take the negative feelings accumulated between Hispania and Nudia.

And Sion had already perfectly created those beings.

“I can never reach you.

I didn’t know you were thinking that far.”

“There’s one more thing.”

“Yes?”

“The reason I’m letting you live.

As you said, there is also a warning to tell you the escape route, and there is one more.”

“What is it?”

“We can’t live as enemies forever, right?

We were used and harassed by some bastards, but it’s just stupid to vent that anger on each other.

Don’t you think so?”

“You’re right.”

“So we have to build bridges to each other.

And I want you to be the one to persuade Nudia to build that bridge.”

Sion stood I’ve up.

Then, he called Rishikida, who had been waiting with a horse since a while ago, to his side.

“Warn them for sure.

And let them know for sure.

Don’t be fooled stupidly anymore, and use that great justification to attack Hispania and waste national power in vain, but use it as a weapon to attack those who are much easier and have much more loopholes.”

“···.”

“Of course, you don’t have to do that.

That’s your freedom.

Anyway, I’ve decided to let you live, and whatever happens as a result, I have to deal with it.

If you come at me again to win the game in a situation where you and I are tied, I’ll accept that game with a smile.”

“There won’t be the same kindness as today then.”

“I’m letting you go now because I think it’s better to be an ally than an enemy, but there won’t be a second time.

So think carefully, I’ve Gi Lestion.”

Meanwhile, Rishikida looks at Sion as if he is ready.

It was decided not only to give a horse and send her away, but also to release the Nudia knights who had been caught together.

“Ah, and.”

I’ve, with a thoughtful face, gets on the horse and looks at Sion at his words.

In response to that unspoken question of whether he had anything more to say, Sion pointed at her and continued.

“You were pretty good.”

“Yes?”

“You were great.

You may think you were completely defeated, but I still think you are smarter than any enemy I’ve ever met.

I think I would have planned a lot of fun things with you if you were a friend, but it’s a pity.”

“···.”

The person she thought she could never overcome suddenly praises her.

As most people do in such a situation, I’ve blinked her eyes and made a very embarrassed expression, ignoring the words and grabbing the reins of the horse.

“···Aren’t you really going to regret it?

If you’re the only daughter of Nudia’s prime minister, you could be used quite usefully at the negotiating table.”

“Do you think I can’t catch you again?”

“···.”

“That’s it.

So don’t worry and go quickly.

If you’re any later, you might not be able to arrive in time for your main force to retreat.”

“The main force is retreating?

What are you talking about?”

Ha, geez.

Maybe it’s because she’s smart, but she’s curious about a lot of things.

Sion was a little annoyed, but it was a bit much to tell her to shut up and get out now, so Sion decided to tell her only that far.
