...Mystery academy hero...
Melheys was waiting for me when I arrived at the top floor.
"I've been waiting for you Arnos-sama."
Melhys knelt before me and lowered her head.
"What about Gaius and Idol?"
"They were successfully revived and like the others, someone attacked them 2000 years ago and took over their origin and body."
Just like Aivis back then. I think it's safe to say that the other demon emperor elders will be the same.
“From the seven older demon emperors, there are now three on our side. Do you want me to strengthen the unification faction with this? " (M)
It seems that Avos Dillheavia knew that Aivis was still alive, so only Melheys, Gaius, and Idol could move openly on the table as my subordinates. Each side now had three of the seven older demon emperors they could use.
In political terms, the unification faction now rivaled the royal faction so I should be able to put some of Avos Dillheavia's plans in checkmate.
Yet.
“You can let it be as it is. No matter how much you try to change it, Mazoku's thinking won't change easily. If we try to force it, Deiruheido will split in two. ”
As nobles and royal factions wielded immense power, the mixed race and unification faction remained humble. The power of nobles allowed people like Emilia to come out of the woodwork. If the unification faction found out that they had the power to oppose them now, they would act.
I can easily control Deiruheido again, but this is not about power. How many people do I have to kill to silence the nobles and bring them to the ranks?
Let's say I put my mazoku together and what about Avos Dillhevaia? He would probably hesitate and run away and then it was just another matter delayed later on.
Said that I doubt he had any intention of losing. He's been preparing for 2000 years.
For now, let's let the other party continue. If they believe things are going their way, they might appear before me and that's the time to kill them.
"certainly milord. I have one last question if I can? "
"Why are you the only one who didn't take over the origin?"
Melheys nodded with a serious expression on her face.
"Indeed. The other seven old demon emperors had their origins and their bodies taken over, but in my case, I was only pierced with the demon slavery sword. This difference is quite significant. "
"Maybe they think I won't be able to see through it or more likely they don't have enough subordinates."
"Are you sure they only have a handful of subordinates?"
"If you let them take over someone's body, you have to really trust them unless you throw them away then, in that case, you can have as many as you want, You can have as many as you want, but it would be hard to build a trusted following that does that."
If I follow that line of thought then they only have 3 trusted followers left in the remaining demon emperors.
"It could be that they want me to think they only have 3 pieces left to play."
At least Avos Dillheavia was not stupid and cautious either. They have placed double and triple traps and are probably waiting for me to get into the traps.
"I have a question for the leader of the unification faction but it doesn't seem to be you."
“……… .You see that too? As expected of Arnos-sama ……. ”
"Who is this?"
“............ I don't know ………. They might be a noble because they had gone to great lengths to hide their identity. If it was a demon emperor or someone close to that position and found out that they supported the unification faction then they would be expelled and the unification faction would collapse. ”
That's a good reason to hide your identity. Saying that, if you are not a demon emperor or a person close to someone then you can easily hide your identity. Avos Dillhevia fits that description.
“I checked and checked but they brilliantly hid their identity. Even their magic traces had been erased. I'm of the opinion that this is my mazoku from the mythical age like me. "
Logical conclusion. They could see what Deiruheido was like at the moment changing and forming a unification faction.
"However, if that's the case then now that Arnos-sama has reincarnated they will appear before you."
It makes sense to think that since it is difficult to imagine any mazoku from 2000 years ago ignoring the tyrannical demon king.
"That's a strong possibility, my lord."
Judging by the events of the tournament the masked man was not the leader either.
Another subordinate of Avos Dillheavia?
"Let me ask about something else, Melheys. Do you know anything about the hero academy? "
Melheys expression changed.
“…… .Did something happen?”
"I'll switch academies. It happened very quickly and was more than a little suspicious. "
"I don't know if the hero academy is under the protection of Avos Dillheavia or not, but I didn't find any trace of Mazoku's involvement when I investigated it."
Melheys voice turned heavy
“Despite that, please be careful around them. Since they were once our sworn enemies, I investigated the capital of the Gairadeite kingdom. Humans had certainly become peaceful and had barely experienced a war for many years, however, Gairadeite spent 10% of the entire Azeshions tax revenue in the hero academy. ”
10% of all your tax revenue in one institution? That's an incredible achievement.
"What does the hero academy do?"
“Officially this is to train the heroes in the use of magic and weapons as well as give them a high standard education. After they graduated, they showed the results of their work by contributing to the growth of the entire Azeshion. "
It sounded like they were taking on a role similar to the demon emperor here in Deiruheido.
“But it smells suspicious to me. In school, there was an elite class called [Jergakanon] and they were the ones who got a sizable amount of budget. The problem was that when I tried to investigate them, I was unable to find anything. "
Fumu's. The jergakanon? It was possible that they took the names of two legendary heroes.
“Hero is someone who fought in a great war. Unlike the demon lord who influenced my mazoku, a hero was not needed in times of peace. Of course, that's not to say that you can't use the power of a hero to advance the development of your country in peacetime …… "
"In other words, you don't believe it's a normal academy?"
Melheys nodded.
“Jergakanon seems to be the class where reincarnated heroes go. Even if it has nothing to do with Avos Dillheavia, you should still be careful. "
Humans are planning something.
Because they are inferior in magic, human plans are usually much more dangerous and evil than any plan my mazoku devises.
“Human lives short. The only reason humans should antagonize my madam 2000 years later is because reincarnated heroes are caught up in a past grudge. " (A)
Although I said that, when I made the wall, I completed a lot with Kanon and that person would definitely not leave any grudge for future generations against my mazoku.
I don't remember any other heroes I believed could be reincarnated with their old memories fully intact.
“I don't know the answer but maybe someone reincarnated from 2000 years ago with their memories fully intact. As you said, sir, humans lead short lives so if they have reincarnated with the memories of those who are 2000 years old, then, that meant they had successfully reincarnated many times before to get to this point. ” (M)
It depends on the situation, but in general Reincarnation depends on the user's magic and lifespan. Humans reincarnated relatively quickly but for a mazoku, it was not uncommon to need 2000 years like me.
"Deruzogedo has had limited interaction with Gairadeite and the Hero academy for quite some time now and humans don't seem to have any animosity towards the mazoku." (M)
If you're going to start a war, you're not going to declare it before you're ready.
"Fumu. Then I'll look for the academy while I'm there. It was highly unlikely they would believe that the tyrannical demon king would be there at the exchange academy. "
"Understand."
“Supervised the continued movement of 7 older demon emperors in Deiruheido. If anything happens, let me know right away and I'll be right back. "
"Surely."
I'm back in the tower.
A selection class called [Jergakanon]. If it's for the reincarnated hero then even if he doesn't have any memories I want to meet the hero of Kanon if he's there.
