I Have Crossed Over, but You Are The Second Week?

However, compared to the obvious wrinkles and aging appearance, his eyes were surprisingly sharp. If he had to use metaphors, Subaru felt that there were sharp 'knives' hidden in the old man's eyes.

"That person is the representative of the Wise Men's Association. That is to say, at this time when the king is away, Lugnica has the greatest power. Even other members of the Wise Men's Association must refer to his Opinions act."

Roswaal who did not know when he appeared stood beside Subaru, and after noticing Subaru's gaze, he introduced the old man's background to Subaru with a smile.

"The name is Mike Rotford. It can be said that the opinion of that adult is very important for the investigation and choice among the five king|chosen."

"...that person, I understand. But..."

Subaru looked helplessly at Roswaal beside him, and sighed.

"Don't be so elusive next time, you scared me."

"Really? But I don't think Subaru-kun looks like you're scared~"

Roswaal smiled, and then talked about the wise men's association again as if to remind, and as if unintentionally.

"In today's absence of the king, the wise men will always govern the country in place of the king's duties."

"However, although it is a 'group' that assists the king in name, even when the members of the royal family are still alive, there is no difference from now."

"No difference?"

Subaru frowned, Roswaal's words were not without deep meaning.In Subaru's initial understanding of the Wise Men's Council, it was to replace the deceased royal family to temporarily govern the country until a new king was elected, and Roswaal's definition of the Wise Men's Council was also a group that assisted the royal family.

But according to what Roswaal just said, even when the members of the royal family are not dead, the country is actually governed and governed by the wise men, but if this is the case, then the royal family is just a facade. Are you putting on airs?

"It's like the relationship between the shogun and the emperor, and..."

"Wait a minute, Roswaal."

Subaru suddenly thought of a possibility. He still didn't know much about the country composition of this different world, but from Roswaal's words just now, he could hear that the king's actual power and role might not be as great as he imagined, or even very large. It may be similar to the shogun and the emperor, or even more serious.

And if that's the case...

"I remember that all the members of the royal family died of illness for no reason. Only Felut has nothing to do because he was lost outside since he was a child?"

In Subaru's play, I feel more and more that my guess seems to have sufficient possibilities. As a member of the royal family, Felut did not get sick, which means that it is not a genetic disease, and other members of the royal family are all short-lived in a period of time. If all died of illness within a certain period of time, it also shows that it is not a normal phenomenon.

Virus?curse?drug?Or something else unknown?Anyway, it is absolutely impossible to be just a simple disease.So, who will do it?

"Could it be related to the sage?"

Lowering his voice, Subaru asked Roswaal with a laugh.Subaru has always believed that Roswaal is thoughtful and hides a lot of secrets, so it is very likely that he will know the truth about the deaths of all members of the royal family.

As for the issue that Roswaal seemed to have inadvertently mentioned just now, the issue of the wise man having too much power, Subaru did not think that it was really a meaningless act.

No one would want their subordinates to put all their strength above themselves, just like in the past in the world he was in, the shogun and the emperor competed for full strength, the general pressed on the emperor, and the emperor wanted to resist.

Would the Lugnica of this world also have this possibility?Just like what Roswaal said, this country has always been managed by the Council of Wise Men, which means that the king's full strength may not be as good as that of the Council of Wise Men, but as the nominal boss, the king can really look at his own Are your subordinates stronger than your full strength?

So, will all the deaths of the so-called royal family members have something to do with the sages?The reason why all members of the royal family died was just a failure of all-out struggle, and because Felut was lost from the beginning, no one knew of her existence and escaped?

"Subaru-kun, your idea is really bold~"

Roswaal seemed a little surprised, as if surprised that Subaru would say such a conjecture, and said that he was completely unaware of the situation.

"However, you can't talk nonsense like this. After all, the adults of the Sage Association represent the country of Lugnica."

After Roswaal finished speaking, he didn't say anything, but just showed a weird smile to himself and urged Subaru to stand beside the knight.Now that the Council of Sages has entered the arena, everyone can no longer walk around at will, and there are regulations on who should stay where. At least for now, Subaru can't stand next to the Earl Roswaal.

'Roswaal, what the hell do you mean? '

After reaching the place where the knights serving the Dragon Priestess were, Subaru thought in confusion.

Roswaal did not respond positively to his question, but he did not deny his thoughts either.This kind of specious and ambiguous behavior made it difficult for Subaru to settle down.

He didn't care about the matters between the former members of the royal family and the Sage Society. No matter who was in power before that, he had nothing to do with any conspiracy.

But now it’s different, Subaru, Emilia, and Felt have a very good relationship, and Priscilla can be regarded as his friend, and the three of them are the dragon priestesses chosen by Shenlong, and the last one of them Will be king of Lugnica.

If the sages were really a 'group' that took power from the previous kings to control the country, could they really accept the reappearance of a king standing above them in Lugnica?

And neither Emilia, Felut, nor Priscilla is the kind of puppet king who will let other people manipulate him.

At that time, there will definitely be conflicts of political opinions and power, and if the death of the previous royal family is indeed inseparable from the sages, then no one who will become the king later can guarantee that he is absolutely safe.

No one would mind doing a second time for something that has been done once, especially if it still involves interests.

Subaru hated conspiracies, but since Emilia was indeed involved and was likely to be implicated, Subaru couldn't ignore it.

However, what purpose did Roswaal bring up this matter with him?Is this the truth, or is it deliberately misleading him to think in the direction of this conspiracy theory?

Subaru fell into confusion for a moment.

"Subaru, what's the matter? Is there something bothering you?"

Reinhardt, who was recognized by the Knights as a gentle and handsome man, asked Subaru with some concern.Seeing Subaru frowning in thought, he was a little worried.

"Ah, it's nothing, it's just... I don't understand something, it's not a big deal."

Subaru waved his hand pretending to be casual, indicating that nothing happened to him.After all, his speculation is just a fantasy without any evidence to support it. Although it is not that Reinhardt cannot be trusted, there are too many people here after all, and even if he talks to Reinhardt, there may be no results.

So Subaru was not going to share his thoughts with others.

However, what Subaru didn't notice was that Felice, who was a knight serving the Dragon Priestess like him and Reinhardt, looked at him thoughtfully, with an unknown meaning in his eyes, as if I noticed something in Subaru's animation and expression.

"It's fine, I was a little worried when I saw you just now."

Reinhardt smiled, as if realizing that Subaru didn't want to continue this topic, he turned sideways and introduced the person beside him.

"Let me introduce you. This is Phyllis Argyll, a rare female knight. Although I know that you don't underestimate Subaru because he is a woman, I still want to say something. Yes, Phyllis is very strong in magic, especially healing magic."

"No need for introduction, Subaru-sama and I have met each other before~"

Ferris blinked at Subaru with her lively clothes, and the cat ears on the top of her head moved very cutely.And Subaru nodded in confusion in response. He still didn't understand Felice. He was usually lively and cheerful, but when he was alone with him, he felt a little dull and withdrawn.

"Well, is it about the monster incident? It turns out that it was you, Felice, who helped Subaru heal. I just found out."

Reinhardt quickly figured out how Subaru and Ferris met, and he introduced another person to Subaru with a smile.

That person was wearing the same knight uniform as Reinhardt, with a slightly serious expression and resolute eyes under the purple hair. Just by looking at it, one would think, "This guy must be a very serious knight." 'This feeling.

"This is the first time I have met Your Highness Subaru. I am Julius, the knight serving Lord Anastasia. I have heard that you have protected Lord Emilia and the villagers in the territory. I am deeply impressed by it. And Lord Anastasia I also often mention you, it is a pleasure to meet you."

"Ah, ah... me too, just call me Subaru."

"So rude, Subaru."

Seeing Julius's earnest expression, Subaru smiled unaccustomed to it. As the saying goes, don't hit a smiling face, no matter what the situation, just smile.

However, he really felt that he might not be very good at dealing with Julius, because no matter how he looked at him, he was a bit too strict, which made Subaru, who had never cared too much about his interests and behavioral norms, a little uncomfortable. .

Subaru looked at Reinhardt, then at Julius.He felt that Felt must have misunderstood Reinhardt. If he really wanted to fit Felt's rigid and inflexible image, Subaru felt that Julius would be more suitable.

After getting to know each other, Subaru looked around, and suddenly found a problem, that is, the number of knights seemed to be a bit wrong.

"By the way, Julius serves Anastasia, Ferris is Crusch, Reinhardt, you are Felut, and I am Emilia..."

"Then what about Priscilla? Why didn't you see her knight?"

"Ah, speaking of which..."

Looking at Priscilla who was the most obvious among the king|chosen ones who were standing together not far away, Reinhardt got off the small helplessly.

"I heard that what Priscilla-sama said seems to be saying that no one in this world is qualified to be her knight. Although there are many people who want to follow her, they have never made any choices."

"Is that so..."

While listening to Reinhardt's explanation, Subaru looked at Priscilla not far away who looked like 'This place is so boring, those old men are so troublesome' and nodded in deep agreement.

"It does sound like something Priscilla would say, no... it should be said that this is what Priscilla would say."

After all, she is a person who keeps saying that she is the center of the world all day long, looks down on other people, and thinks that no one is qualified to follow her as a knight. It is also a normal thing.

But if this is the case, why did Priscilla fall in love with him, and it was love at first sight?

For this point, Subaru has never been able to understand, or is the so-called love really so unreasonable, can even a person's personality be changed?

Then, noticing that Priscilla was also looking at him, and winking at him, Subaru turned sideways and started talking to Reinhardt again. She promised Rem to be careful with the other King|Chosenters. the distance between.

End of this chapter

Then, it is recommended to add a skirt, so that the news about the book can be known in advance, and it can also avoid the embarrassing situation that if the book is GG, you will not be able to find me

Chapter 165 Phyllis Keeps Watching Subaru

Subaru wanted to continue chatting with Reinhardt about some useless things to pass the time, but time was obviously not allowed, and there was no need to pass the time, because a knight had already walked to the center of the hall.

"The elders of the Wise Men's Association and the elders of the candidates have already expired. Although there are some oversteps, please allow me, the head of the Knights of the Guards, Marcos to be the leader of this discussion. Task."

"Hmm... I'll leave it to you to take it."

The one who spoke was the one Subaru had paid attention to first, and he was also the representative of the Wise Men's Association introduced by Roswaal. He was an old man with an extremely sharp manner and demeanor even though he looked old.

but……

'What's umm...is such an old guy actually cute? Even if you have a mouth fetish, you should choose one that suits you. '

An old man with a mouth fetish that makes people feel a little cute, like Phyllis's "meow" mouth fetish has become Julius's mouth fetish, which can be said to be in line with his own momentum It doesn't fit at all, it's even conflicting.

"This convening is about the selection of the next king—that is, a major announcement for everyone related to the selection of the king. It is also for this purpose that I let everyone go to the king's capital and gather the adults of the Sage Association. "

The voice of the knight named Marcus was not very loud, but it was equally transmitted to the ears of all the members of the throne room. If it was the head of the knight order, this alone It can be said that there is no problem with the use of a voice like a leader.

Simultaneously with Subaru's wild thoughts, Marcos' words did not stop.

"The incident happened about half a year ago... since the previous king, the members of the royal family retired one by one."

"The absence of the king is the most deadly situation for a kingdom, especially for the Dragon Kingdom Lugunika. This is an issue deeply related to the 'covenant'."

The covenant refers to the contract with the dragon that once sealed the envious witch who destroyed half of the world together with the first generation of swordsmen and sages 400 years ago.

Although he didn't know the specific content of the contract, Subaru was able to confirm that there was a part in it to help the Kingdom of Lugnica overcome its difficulties and protect the Kingdom of Lugnica from foreign invasion.

In other words, although it is not clear what the kingdom paid, Shenlong's response was to protect Lugnica, and it is precisely because of this that Lugnica is called the Kingdom of Pro-Dragon, and even connected The king also has to make a choice among the shrine maidens chosen by Shenlong.

In fact, what Subaru learned and what the knight leader said next, "the relationship between the kingdom and the dragon, should go back hundreds of years. And, the covenant exchanged between the dragon Belukanika. Since then, the kingdom that was in desperate situation several times was rescued by the dragon and helped to prosper."

It didn’t make much difference if he said that. As for why he said it in such a general way, Subaru didn’t know whether it was because Marcos, the leader of the Knights, didn’t know the content of the covenant, or whether it was actually inconvenient to elaborate on the content on this occasion.

However, what Subaru really cared about was not the covenant, what he cared about was actually the part about the 'retirement' of the royal family members that the head of the knight order said.

Most of Subaru’s information about this world comes from Elsa who acts as an assassin, whether it’s about the contract between Lugnica and Shenlong or the death of a member of the royal family. Elsa had told him, and he hadn't asked anyone else about it since.
