270 – The Beginning of the Golden Age
In the middle of the palace square.
Golden knights are rising.
One, two, no more.
The number that continued to increase in real time was already approaching ten, and each and every aspect was extremely brutal.
In particular, one of them, unlike the other Golden Knights, was wearing a helmet similar to the sharp-beaked mask that was said to have been worn by doctors hundreds of years ago when a plague broke out.
“That is…”
“…Blightheart King Kalax Geo Nostrum?”
The Habsburg Emperor muttered in disbelief.
“The King of Plague Heart…”
“The king who suppressed the Great Plague of Nostrum. The king from over 300 years ago. And the other golden slaves… Seem to be no different.”
“This is crazy.”
One by one, the golden slaves rise up.
They each held a golden sword, and on their heads they wore a golden crown similar to the symbol in the Scepter of the Sun.
“Is that really Nostrum’s…?”
Haha!!”
It’s so familiar, but today, a particularly crazy sound of laughter hits my ears.
“The spirits of Nostrum and the ancestors are protecting me! This b*stard, Crimson Gibraltar! How dare you try to kill me!!”
The person who bursts into light is none other than Saint Geo Nostrum.
He held a golden staff, lined up golden slaves in front of him and shouted evilly.
“There is no way!! Cancer!!”
The knight standing in front of St. Geo Nostrum looks somewhat familiar.
The traces left all over the body were traces I was familiar with – traces of cuts made by my sword.
“The thing in front of King Saint Geo…Is Zeros Barcel?”
“What on earth is this…? What on earth is happening now…?”
Both Naria and Carmen were confused.
Not everyone in the Hall of Sun could easily accept and understand the current situation.
“Grey.”
The emperor called my name quietly.
“What do you think is happening now?”
“…It seems that the Nostrum royal family has a great magic that only the king can use. It seems closer to black magic.”
“Necromancer. A man who controls corpses and souls. The great ruler of time, Chronostrum, seems to have left a special power to defy even the time of death for his descendants.”
The emperor smiled bitterly and shook his head.
“As time passes, heroes accumulate, and the king of the time can control those heroes through gold. Ha! It’s truly an arrangement worthy of a kingdom of magic and gold.”
The emperor’s sarcasm contained clear irritation and contempt.
“It’s so absurd.”
Rather than anger and disgust at magic itself, rather than the inexplicable miracle of the legacy left behind by the ancient golden dragon-
“Is Saint Geo Nostrum using that now?”
It seems that the fact that the miraculous lion-revival magic was used only to survive Crimson Gibraltar was what made the emperor most angry.
“Gray. Have you ever seen that?”
“No. This is my first time seeing the staff held by Saint Geo Nostrum, the golden slave in front of him, and the souls of past Nostrum heroes moving like slaves and dolls.”
I can’t help but see it for the first time.
“…It seems like you are getting angry.”
“Well, yes.”
Because it was my first time seeing it, I couldn’t help but feel more angry than the emperor.
‘Why didn’t you use it before regression?’
Necromancy that can infinitely summon heroes of advanced knight level or higher?
Whether it was alchemy, necromancy, or a miracle flowing through the Nostrum royal family, why did Saint Geo Nostrum escape from the royal castle when he had such power?
Isn’t this a technology that wasn’t used before the regression?
If the princess of the fallen nation had handed over or taught her that power before she lost her country, she would have used that power unconditionally to deal with the empire and the traitor Gibraltar.
‘I’m going crazy.’
The information before regression and the information after regression are too twisted and twisted.
Just worrying about the emperor gives me a headache, but now even the incompetent king is trying to make my head explode.
“Grey.”
“…Astasia.”
The anger fades away.
Her head, which had begun to feel dizzy, cleared, and I held Astasia’s hand lightly and hugged her.
“I’m sorry. I guess I grabbed it too hard without realizing it.”
“As usual, let’s stay calm. Let’s.”
“…Yes. As usual.”
Astasia was also embarrassed.
Everyone, including the Habsburg emperor, was confused or at least dumbfounded.
“Let’s stay calm. Like that person over there.”
Although it is not this place, the person who should be the most embarrassed is standing still with the most calm face.
“Like my father.”
Crimson Gibraltar.
Only he has maintained peace from the moment the Golden Slaves emerged until now.
“Lord Grey. We must go help immediately.”
The Duke of Winchester pulled out a flagpole hanging on the wall of the Hall of the Sun and pointed out the window.
“If I remember correctly, among those ‘heroes of the past’, only Master is… “
“Twelve.”
The Habsburg Emperor answered.
“In addition to the nine disasters that have occurred in the Kingdom of Nostrum, among those who have solved curses and problems unknown to the outside world, there are as many as twelve with master-level skills. The rest are at least at the level of advanced knights.”
Master Twelve.
And the remaining dozens are all senior knights or higher.
“The same goes for the golden knights who are rising outside this barrier, but most of them are…”
“Kill the person who tries to kill me—!!”
“…I try to swing my sword with that kind of intention.”
Under the command of Saint Geo Nostrum, the golden heroes all rushed towards their father.
“Gray! If you won’t come forward, I will…!”
“Calm down, Prince Winchester.”
I grabbed hold of the Duke of Winchester’s arm as he tried to jump out the window.
“If we leave here now, the Auror barrier that the Habsburg Emperor has set up will be immediately broken. Although it is solid on the outside, it would not have been assumed that a master-level person would escape from the inside.”
If the Archduke’s magic and the Habsburg Emperor’s magic collide, the barrier will be broken immediately.
In the first place, this barrier was put in place in a hurry, and the magic power of Prince Winchester is enough to break this barrier.
“Please protect the royal family. Together with the Black Rose Knights.”
“Tsk… !”
The problem is that this is a barrier that protects Nariana Carmen and the Black Rose Knights.
If you break the barrier to go help your father, those in the Hall of the Sun will end up in danger.
“Your Majesty. Is the barrier adjustable?”
“It can be adjusted. It will take at least a minute to adjust.”
The emperor stretched out his hand toward the glass window.
“But Gray, you seem to have decided that it’s unnecessary. Seeing as you won’t run away right away, do you plan on watching?”
“It’s not like that.”
I gave Astasia a brief pat, grabbed her staff, and stepped forward.
“No matter how strong your father is, you still need at least one person to watch your back. I’ll go.”
“Hmm…?”
The emperor raises his eyebrows and grins.
I guess he thought I would be next to Astasia.
“You… !”
“The Duke of Winchester, please protect this place. As soon as I escape, the Golden Knights will see inside as the barrier shakes from the inside.”
“…”
The Duke of Winchester glanced back and forth between the Emperor and Astasia.
Astasia looked at me as if asking who would protect me if I disappeared.
“Your Majesty.”
“Hmm.”
“Astasia is the woman who will be the mother of my child.”
“That, Gray!”
“I understand. Hehe.”
The emperor released his magic power from his outstretched hand toward the glass window.
“I’ll come back. Be safe, if possible—”
Wow!
Run forward and break the glass.
The broken glass shards are repelled by the mana that protects the body, and jump towards the square.
The height is almost 50m.
However, for the Master, it is just jumping out of the second floor window.
Even that is no problem if you have trained regularly and have the power of ‘mana’.
Suddenly.
The sound of the sword heard as soon as it landed.
I rolled on the floor once, swung my sword forward, and then lightly stood up.
“I came to help.”
“It’s still two years too early for you to help me.”
My father laughed lightly while holding the sword that created a red aura horizontally.
Puhwa——————-
At the same time, the golden heroes in front of my father split apart in an instant, bursting into a fountain of golden blood, and a hero coming from behind my father also split diagonally.
“Father. They say these are the souls of past kings.”
“I know. I’ve seen it in history books.”
“…Is it okay to cut it?”
“He is a dead person. He is a ghost controlled by Saint Geo. He is an enemy.”
“It seems like a good enough reason to cut him to death.”
There are times when my father is frustrated because he cannot express himself in words, but when he holds a sword, he is as refreshing and clear as the blade of the sword.
“What did you do to end up like this?”
“I don’t know. As soon as Saint Geo saw me, he suddenly said this.”
“…Did you misunderstand and think I was going to kill you?”
“I was so upset because I was caught by a thief. I didn’t know it would be like this. More than that, son.”
My father pointed to the heroes who had been cut with a single sword.
“Although they are spirits, they are definitely heroes. Their skills are the same as when they were alive, so don’t let down your guard and get hurt. These people are dangerous.”
“…The one who cut down four heroes at the same time.”
“It’s okay if blood splatters on your body, but you wouldn’t know it if gold splattered on your body.”
“…”
Gold splatters.
Although it is puzzling, the most likely thing is-
“Father. That gold is the dragon’s legacy, right?”
“I guess so.”
Magic and miracles, the arrangement of the golden dragon.
“It’s a magic stone, but it’s golden. You can think of it like that, right? A magic stone turned into gold by the Gold Dragon.”
“It started to overflow underground in Barcelona, and now there is more gold coming out than iron ore or copper.”
“If it keeps coming-“
Puhwa – evil.
The golden slaves exploded all at once.
Unable to maintain its strength, gold began to flow like a torrent of water, like a water bag bursting.
“All people, listen!!”
Saint Geo Nostrum began to scream as he flew into the sky, riding an amorphous dragon shining with gold.
“Crimson Gibraltar tried to assassinate King Bonn—!!”
“…Is he crazy?”
My father’s self-talk did not reach the sky.
“Gibraltar used his son to lure the emperor to the capital, and now he’s trying to kill the king of Nostrum!!”
“No.”
“In the name of Saint Geo Nostrum, I command all Nostrums! Kill the traitor Gibraltar!!”
“Ha.”
Pa-ah.
With those words, Saint Geo Nostrum disappeared from the royal capital.
“Teleport scroll? No, I didn’t even see the scroll tearing.”
“Father.”
I couldn’t bear the irritation and anger boiling inside.
“He wants me to kill him, so how can he really do it?”
“…I didn’t know you would turn into a traitor like this.”
From noble mtl dot nete
“Yes. I too, Saint Geo Nostrum, had no idea that he would act like he was ‘behind the scenes’ like this.”
Like.
“I never thought he would act as if he could at least turn back time on his own, leave this world and go back to the past.”
Since this life was ruined, I didn’t know that he would make such an unreasonable move to ruin everything.
“And, father, we…I guess we should go to Gibraltar.”
“…Hmm.”
Instead of the gold that exploded, new golden knights slowly appeared from the land.
“The king’s command is…”
“It is not a command to the living. It is a command to the dead, to the ‘tradition and history’ of Nostrum.”
The golden slaves wrapped around the barrier in the Hall of the Sun also began crawling towards us.
“Father. Your younger brothers…?”
“It’s at Caroline Castle.”
All the gold is aiming for Gibraltar.
A being with the blood of Gibraltar.
“I will go straight to Castle Caroline. You…”
“I’ll take Noir with me. I’ll take it with me…”
My father and I also looked around before leaving the scene.
“…What should I do with this?”
“It’s not too late to think about it after safety is secured, but it keeps getting noticed.”
Golden liquid scattered like blood.
If it solidifies over time, it will probably become gold.
“…If the dead come back as gold, how will people act now?”
According to the orders of Saint Geo Nostrum, the corpse rises and turns into gold.
Only to kill Gibraltar.

July 8, 99, Imperial Calendar.
The engagement ceremony was made official in Toledo, the royal capital of the Kingdom of Nostrum.
The engagement of Gray Gibraltar, Governor of Barcelona, and Princess Astasia von Tersian.
The location is Orosol Academy in the Kingdom of Nostrum.
However.
Before the news spread, the content that graced the front pages of the imperial newspaper was a completely different topic.
[The Marquis of Gibraltar tries to kill the king.]
Not.
[Infinite gold. Is it a disaster or a miracle?]
