The Baby Raising A Devil

Chapter 340

TL: Zimmings

The book had a bookmark made by drying violets.

The bookmarked pages were visible.

[Emperor Fred, the founder of the empire, sent messengers to each country to prove his belief in the god Neliard and built temples. The location is as follows.

Kingdom of Waynes: Callain, Teram, Rottiwood.

Gahong: Wangyeong, Soganggo, Bakrang.

72 temple was built around there…]

Proof of faith.

72 temple.

While thinking about the location, I took a deep breath.

‘In ancient times, it was the 72 pioneers who ruled.’

There must be a reason why Fred built a temple here.

‘If we destroy this place, which is a proof of faith for Neliard… … .’

I looked at the light coming down from above the temple.

A god who loses faith loses his power.

In other words, if this place, which is a proof of faith, is destroyed, Neliard may lose his power completely.

Then he won’t be able to destroy the world.….

‘This is it!’

“Your Majesty! Send envoys to each country. We must destroy the temple of Neliard built in 72 areas!”

“What?”

“If we destroy a temple built by the founding emperor Fred I, we can completely eliminate the power of Neliard.”

“Will the royal family of another country readily accept my orders?”

“Neliard is trying to destroy the world, not only this empire. If the empire collapses, then it’s another country’s turn.”

“The royal family of other countries will not easily believe that word. If the empire collapses, it will be a good opportunity for them. Fear can’t beat desire.”

“You have to convince them somehow. There’s no other way.”

When the emperor was silent, some nobles shouted.

“The collapse of the world is just a guess by Lady Dubblede. But if you believe in her words and make unreasonable demands to other countries, there will be a big crisis in diplomacy in the future, Your Majesty.”

“I don’t know what they will demand from us next time.”

“It is true that the situation of the capital is serious, so it is sufficient to surrender first, and discuss the dispatch of envoys…”

“Stop-!!”

When I shouted, they stopped talking for a moment.

The nobles, who were surprised for a moment, shouted with excitement until their faces turned red.

“Lady, apologize immediately.”

“Just because you were the center of the battle, that doesn’t mean you’ve reached the top of the empire!”

I stared at the nobles who raised their voices with hardened faces.

“The lords spent a lot of money on buying teleportation scrolls, so you can easily run away. How can we trust people like you?”

“…….”

“When the poor give up all their luggage and run away, it will be difficult to endure day by day. Unlike the lords that will pack up and move with the scroll.”

“…….”

“Running away is just a means to buy time! If you can’t get rid of the chest, even if you run away, you can’t last long!”

Those who participated in the battle against the temple with me stared at the nobles. However, the nobles were noisy, saying that I’m rude.

‘It’s no use. They are all hard-headed.’

If this happens, everything will be reversed.

I tried so hard, but I still lost to Neliard.

It felt like my insides were going to explode.

But then…

“Shut that mouth!”

A middle-aged woman in a shabby shirt threw trash at a running nobleman.

“Hey, what is this…!”

The nobleman, who was hit by the trash, was surprised.

The people talked to criticize the nobles.

“Those who were silent as if they were mute when the Allied Forces fought against the pope finally opened their mouths. What nonsense!

“Wha- what?!”

An old man with a bent back, a skinny boy, and a middle-aged man with spots said.

The people nearby also raised their voices.

“When the people jumped into the battlefield to live, when the soldiers were dying to protect this empire, what did the nobles do?!”

“What, what?!”

“Now, the people who have only watched and hid in the barriers created by Dubblede are saying that the solution is to waste time!”

“How rude…!”

“Now you’re talking nonsense using the lives of the people as a hostage, so I feel uncomfortable!”

“This person……!”

The nobles were surprised when the people criticized them.

Those who had only been pouting shouted.

“Catch those who dare mock the nobles!”

“Stop.”

The emperor said.

The nobles flinched, and everyone looked at the emperor.

“Envoys will be sent to each country, and everyone in the capital will all evacuate.”

“Your Majesty!”

The emperor ignored the words of the nobles and looked at me and my father.

“We don’t know if sending envoys will be enough. It will also take time to decide on the destruction of the temple. Will you be able to endure it until then?

“I’ll figure out a way.”

“Okay.”

The emperor looked around and shouted.

“Listen! All the imperial palace teleportation scroll will be released to move the people to the border. Use it every hour so that all the people of the capital can move until the afternoon three days later!”

Administrative officials, including nobles, bent their knees in front of the emperor.

The emperor continued to speak.

“The sick and the elderly will be moved first, followed by the nobles who settled near the central temple.”

“…….”

“Those who violate the order set by me will be punished. Hurry up!”

The people began to move. The emperor led the people.

In the midst of the fuss, nobles who participated in the battle gathered to share their opinions.

“Who do you have in mind as an envoy?”

“How many countries is it?”

I said.

“Twenty-one in total.”

The emperor groaned as I hurriedly took out the book that had fallen from the fake Trigon and showed it to him.

“The 17 countries are under the influence of the empire, so it won’t be difficult, but the problem is…”

“Yes. Gahong across the sea, Waynes, a country of beasts, the Atar that have not allied with any other country, and the enemy Mojas are the problems.”

“Let the nobles above Count be sent to 17 countries first, and the four countries will be left to Duke of Amity, the Duke of Dubblede, and the Duke of Grimoire, respectively.”

“There is one place left.”

The emperor groaned.

“Duke Marche is trapped in prison… a person of similar status should go. If you do that, the empire……”

After muttering, Marquis Shuheil said.

“Aren’t Prince Andre also imprisoned in prison? Do you plan to send the prince away?”

“No, no, no…”

The emperor grabbed his forehead and said blankly, “I can’t do that… Why did you say you’d send the crown prince?….”

Gremory, who was hiding behind the emperor with the power of Glashalabolas, had a sad expression.

The emperor shook his head as if his head was pounding.

“I will send Archduke Locard to the one remaining place.”

“Yes.”

People moved in a hurry.

I stood far away.

“Kid?”

“Leblaine.”

After Isaac and Henry called, I said, “Oh.” and shook my head.

“Why?”

Johann asked but I shook my head.

“No, I keep feeling weird all the time.”

“How do you feel?”

My brothers looked at me with bewildered expressions.

“……Nothing.”

I shook my head and followed them.

***

It’s the second day since the people’s movement started.

It has also been two days since the envoys left for each country through the scroll.

In Dubblede’s greenhouse, I bit my lips.

‘I already know it was not an easy task, it would be hard to destroy the temple.’

I hold my forehead and groan……

Dahlia, Linda, and Yuni held out a cup to me with a worried face.

“Eat something. You didn’t even put a cup of tea in your mouth yesterday.….”

Yuni, who said so, lowered her eyebrows.

I laughed a little seeing the chocolate that was burned in milk in the cup.

“When I first came to Dubblede, I ate chocolate.”

I almost cried, thinking it was okay to regress.

As I was touching the cup, Chul-soo shouted in my head.

[Don’t say that!]

[Shut up please, you.]

Pur replied, but Chul-soo kept nagging.

[Don’t recall the past! Reminiscing the past is pla- Hmp! Hmpf!]

Chul-soo’s voice became smaller as if his mouth was held back by someone.

I shook off my head quickly.

‘I shouldn’t be emotional.’

Enough. I just need to take care of this.

My people sitting around me tapped my shoulder.

“If it doesn’t work out, let’s use the scroll to invade directly. We can break the temple with our own strength!

As Isaac spoke vigorously, Henry hit the back of his head with a book.

“Then when we’re all done, what happens to us? Do you want the first thing we’re going to do after being independent is a war with another country?”

“If that doesn’t work, there is something else we can do.”

“The emperors are not fools either. Don’t worry too much, Leblaine, because we won’t see the world be destroyed.”

Johann added, “Yes.”

And I nodded.

“Yes.”

Dad looked at me.

“Take a rest.”

“No.”

“Relax. You’ll fall first before we even get rid of Neliard.”

“…….”

My aunt, the chairman, and even Seria also looked at me, so I had no choice but to stand up.

“Then just a minute.”

They nodded their heads.

I left my people behind and went up to the room.

I lay down on the bed to close my eyes for a moment. Suddenly, someone called me in my head.

[…Blaine.]

I closed my eyes tightly and lay down. A fountain pen caught my eye on the side table.

Fountain pen mixed with brown and blue colors.

Did I have something like this?

I got up, hugged my blanket, and touched the fountain pen.

[Thanks.]

“Why are you doing this?”

I shook my head.

A strange voice keeps coming to mind. Whenever that happened, I couldn’t breathe well.

I bit my lips and shoved the fountain pen into the drawer.

‘I think it’s wrong to fall asleep.’

My family will be worried when I go back to the greenhouse, so I’ll kill some time and go back.

I sighed and left the bedroom.

When I entered a small study connected to the bedroom, I could see a map and parchment paper that I had left before the war.

I sat in a chair and touched the parchment.

The memory of when I planned to move was clear. I was nervous then too. I wondered if I could really beat the pope without etwal.

‘But I won. So this time too, I can do it.’

I thought so and touched the parchment paper, and strange letters caught my eye.

It’s definitely my handwriting…… A sentence that I’ve never written.

[I’m going to save you, Adr…]

At that moment, the letters shone and began to disappear.

And my etwal shone as well.

In my head, I heard the sound of something cracking and breaking.

I flinched and looked at the etwal hanging around my neck.

“What?”

A place in etwal, where the passage of the strategist was embedded, was filled with a new jewel that I did not know.

“Why didn’t I know this until now?”
