The value of a 6th grade monster
The fifth-grade monster that resides in the royal domain is a pilbang. It looks like a crane, but has one leg. It has blue feathers with red spots and a white beak. It is said to be a descendant of a tree spirit, but there is no way to confirm this.
It breathes fire from its mouth and likes to burn dead trees. It does not attack people or animals unless they invade its territory. It is one of the few monsters that is not unconditionally hostile to humans. The problem is that when dead trees are gathered together, a large forest fire occurs.
When the trees are burned and disappear, the swarm moves to a new location. It attacks and kills or drives away humans and animals in its new territory. If it is in a forest with strong vitality, it can survive for a long time, but if there are many dead trees, it burns them all and changes its territory.
The Maple Dynasty requested the British Empire to deal with Pilbang, who had made the royal hunting grounds their territory. They spent a considerable amount of money to deal with Pilbang, but after a few months, a 6th-grade monster took Pilbang’s place.
A sixth-grade monster with a horse’s tail and a sheep’s body has a horn like a spear on its head. It is stronger than diamond and is used to make weapons. The corpse of this monster, called Humility, is used to make cosmetics. If you use it once, it will keep your baby’s skin for a long time. It is called cosmetics instead of medicine because it has an expiration date.
With just one application, it will keep your skin in its best condition for years, but after the expiration date, it will return to its original state. That is why the price of humility is enormous. The British Empire wants to hunt even if it means giving them money, but the Canadian royal family demands a much higher price.
If the Blue Dragon’s Heart had not disappeared, the British Empire would have accepted all of the Canadian Crown’s demands. The Maple Dynasty’s greed is great, but it is not enough to upset the British Empire. However, now that the Blue Dragon’s Heart is gone, they are secretly strengthening their defenses on the mainland. That is why they are in a secret relationship with the Maple Dynasty.
“If the Archmage were to give up his rights to the corpse and ask for the earrings, the royal family would naturally agree. I can’t even imagine how many resources and weapons could be obtained from the British and Korean Empires by using the cosmetics made from the corpse of Humble.”
It is a time when the luxury goods of the nobles are not many. It is a world where paintings and sculptures are sold at very high prices. Cosmetics that are practical are sold at even higher prices. To put it a little exaggeratedly, one corpse of modesty can double the national power of Canada.
“Then I will be a burden to the Marquis. Instead, I would like to ask you to negotiate.”
Shin-gi, who had eaten his fill of the meat of the metaphor, did not desire the corpse of the humble one at all. So he left the negotiation to the Marquis. He would probably figure out his share during the negotiation process.
### I am a sharp demarcation line ###
“Your Majesty, I have brought this great wizard from the Korean Empire with great difficulty. He is the great wizard who single-handedly defeated the 6th-grade monster Che, and it is said that Count Andre, a high-ranking wizard of the British Empire, personally watched over him.”
“Still, I don’t feel like giving up the royal treasure.”
“All they asked for in return was one earring and two of the monster’s horns. They said they would hand over the entire monster’s corpse to the royal family. Honestly, is there any way to stop a great wizard who can fight a 6th-grade monster alone from secretly going hunting?”
“How rude.”
The Marquis of Berkham frowned. The Queen, who was approaching her sixtieth birthday, lacked a sense of reality. If he had not seen the elegant suit made of che leather, the Marquis himself would not have believed that a wizard could single-handedly defeat a sixth-grade monster.
According to those who operate the engine carriages there, they are said to have used magic skillfully with only the magic name. Even in the British Empire, there are no great magicians who have reached the realm of the unconventional spellcasting. There are only a few great magicians who can simply cast spells.
‘It must be a combination of magic and sorcery. It would be a better choice to go to the Republic of Korea or the Korean Empire rather than the British Empire.’
Even the same spells of sorcerers are all different. In the end, sorcerers concluded that spells are just a tool to stimulate their imagination. The spells of sorcerers of each school are more worth studying than the spells of uniform sorcerers. By studying the similarities and differences, we began to study how to reduce or eliminate spells.
The Marquis of Berkam assumed that the research of the Korean Empire had shown results and that a great magician named Shingi had been born. The Marquis confirmed his guess after confirming that Shingi was in his early twenties. He heard from Andre that Shingi could not use basic magic, including detection magic. He judged that the use of all magic was impossible due to the conflict between sorcery and magic.
“Your Majesty, if a large number of wizards come from the British Empire, the treasury will be completely empty to accommodate them. If the transfer of the earrings is kept secret and a counterfeit is made, it will not damage the dignity of the royal family.”
The queen said she would think about it some more and then hung up. All the royal ministers are of royal blood. All the nobles live in their own lands, and few of them live in the capital. The Berkam nobles thought that the capital was becoming increasingly full of fools because of the royal family’s incestuous marriages.
‘The White Bear Dynasty is truly amazing. They even marry indigenous people and commoner women.’
The land of the White Bear Dynasty has the worst environment. They advocated the principle of meritocracy and, following the British Empire, very carefully opened the way for commoners to become nobles. They also created the concept of concessionary land and allowed the indigenous people to be landowners for a hundred years.
Marquis Berkham has not moved so far because he feels it is a pity to abandon the foundation he has built for the Maple Dynasty. However, after confirming that the structure of the Antlers Deer Dynasty is becoming increasingly deformed, he has decided to leave Canada altogether. He is increasingly determined to use Andre as an excuse to head to the British Empire or follow Shingi to South Korea.
After a few days, the royal family contacted him. They approved the deal. The Marquis of Berkham took his escort and headed to the capital with Singi and Andre. One of the two horns was Berkham’s.
After arriving at the capital, the royal family held banquets every day, saying that they were aware of the location of humility and kept Shin Gi and his party there. Surprisingly, Andre’s bikini was very popular in the capital. In addition, Shin Gi, who was not very perceptive, noticed that the exchange of glances between some of the women and Andre was unusual.
‘Damn, who dedicates themselves to the fate of the world, and who receives devotion from women?’
The twisted Shingi drank continuously, but did not get drunk at all. Marquis Berkham realized that Shingi had a mild personality and stopped lingering around him. He was busy receiving the ‘introduction fee’ while talking to the queen and the second princess who was designated as the next queen.
The divine being who has regained his magical powers exudes an air of inaccessibility to ordinary people. He is wearing a leopard-print suit made of leather, making him look even more intimidating. The timid noblewomen who have only lived in the capital do not dare to approach the divine being.
Shingi came out dressed up in a fancy dress in his desire to be an adult, but it was actually a mistake. Shingi had no idea what his problem was because Andre and Berkham were so jealous of Shingi’s suit.
Finally, when the location of the humility was discovered, the Royal Knights, Berkam’s guard, and the god and Andre set off in the engine carriage. In order to run in the cold, the engine carriage must be started in a warm place and kept running the engine all the time. If the engine stops, there is a high chance that it will not start again.
“In fact, it was Canada that invented the engine. The British Empire only succeeded in miniaturizing the engine.”
The engine was initially made large for use on ships. Canada had regular contact with the British Empire through ships using engines. The British Empire, which accepted Canada as part of the British Empire and managed it, succeeded in miniaturizing the engine and made Canada independent about 200 years ago.
As temperatures continue to rise, more monsters are heading north. Canada, once a stable source of resources, has become a burden. As Europe’s production of natural resources returns to normal, Canada has become completely useless.
This is the biggest difference between Russia and Canada. Russia protected its factories even during the civil war and the flight of scholars. Although its weapons are inferior to those of the British Empire or the Korean Empire, it still has its own production capacity.
However, Canada only mined its resources and sent them to the British Empire, and never thought of building factories on its own soil. After independence, it hurriedly built factories to produce weapons, but they were of little use. If it had built factories with the support of the British Empire, it would have been different, but if it had been built in a haphazard manner without the support of the British Empire, the efficiency would have been terrible.
Because there is no stable supply of resources, the factory has more days off than days in operation. Since they do not pay on days off, there are few people willing to work in the factory. Since there are few skilled workers, production efficiency is poor, so it is more economical to buy the resources from the British Empire.
But the factories cannot be stopped in case the route to the British Empire is cut off. Canada’s future is more bleak than that of Russia, which is in the midst of a civil war. Russia, which is forced to engage in a civil war due to a lack of food and other resources, will unite with each other whenever the opportunity to expand outward arises.
Before reaching the destination, the engines of several engine carriages were cut off, so some people had to walk. After dealing with Che once, Shingi was able to sense the presence of a sixth-grade monster, even if it was faint. The monster’s movements, which had a presence no less than Che’s, were caught by Shingi’s senses.
“Prepare for battle, the monster is approaching.”
A hero recognizes a hero, and a master senses a master. Humility raised its horns toward the divine spirit without warning. The speed of the charge was so fast that the tail, which was about 3 meters long and resembled a horse’s tail, was taut like a clothesline. The divine spirit, who had become anxious, hid and used magic without a word.
‘Ice fence, a thousand layers. Ice armor.’
The attack power of the humble sheep was stronger than that of the tiger-like Che. Che has good skin, so his fighting skills are not that great. He just takes the opponent’s attacks and attacks himself. That’s why he didn’t dodge and was helplessly trapped in the ice box. This is because he doesn’t understand the concept of evasion.
However, Humility does not have the same defensive power as Che. That is why it has good evasion skills and its attacks are fast and powerful. I was a bit dismissive of it because of its appearance, but in fact, among the 6th-grade monsters, Humility is the one that is the most skilled in fighting and has the strongest attack power.
A useless piece of knowledge came to mind. It was the knowledge that sounds are heard later when traveling faster than the speed of sound. It was in a book written by Kishin, and the Korean Academy of Magic received considerable support from the British Empire in exchange for translating Kishin’s book. Among the magic scholars of the British Empire, Kishin was known as a genius magic scholar comparable to Einstein, not a great magician.
The horn of humility shone brightly, smashing through the ice fence and breaking through the ice armor before striking the divine being in the chest. The divine being was caught by the horn of humility and flew backwards. At that time, the Canadian soldiers were barely able to raise their guns and were looking around to confirm the location of humility.
