It Is Legal for an NPC Who Is Being Oppressed To Run Away

81 – Intervening NPC. (One)

“Prime Minister, what on earth is going on? What has fallen on our imperial palace?”

“…It’s just as your Majesty expected.”

“Are you saying that a person fell from the sky and ended up like that?!”

“I’m sorry, but it is.”

imperial palace.

Ragni’s father, the emperor of the empire, suddenly heard a sound like an artillery bombardment early this morning, got up on his socks, summoned the knight captain and escort knights, and waited for a report in the throne room.

And the chancellor appeared at the imperial palace at the order given by the emperor at dawn and personally checked the site.

“Heh heh! How could something like that happen!! You mean that a celestial man had fallen from the heavenly realm that exists only in legends?!”

“That is…”

The guards and escorts had already checked, but the chancellor checked all the tests there in the shortest time to know everything the emperor wanted, and most of the facts were confirmed now that the sun had fallen.

okay. The two corpses that fell over there were assassins sent by himself with the permission of the emperor.

“What the hell does that mean? The assassin sent to deal with ‘it’ fell from the sky?”

“Yes. I don’t understand, but I’m sure.”

“……”

The Emperor is only afraid. His own daughter, Ragni Bluemoon Oatman.

[Monster] had already established his identity at the age of 3, acted perfectly as a ‘royal family member’ at the age of 4, and was already exerting a great influence on national affairs at the age of 5. Now that it is said to be doing something so bizarre that it is making people fall from the sky, the thoughts of ‘ordinary’ people are simply filled with fear.

And a few weeks after that incident.

“…What?”

“Your Majesty. Anyone who stands near it, the mountain ranger, is truly a ‘monster’!! They must never touch it any further than this!!!”

Just two people. Of the two assassins who returned, one reported to them, and one was receiving treatment at the imperial palace clinic.

Hearing that he lightly killed everything Jack caused, even the head of the assassination, the emperor truly begins to tremble in fear.

“How, how did such a monster get entangled next to a monster?! This is, this is…!!”

“Your Majesty. Calm down.”

“Prime Minister!! Is this something to calm down?!”

The chancellor kneels in front of the emperor, who has started to go mad, and starts talking.

Because he judged that he was relatively calmer in the current situation.

“Your Majesty. I’m sorry, but the current situation. No matter how much you think about it, don’t you think it’s too artificial?”

“…what?”

“The first man it encountered after it ran away was a man named Jack, the mountain ranger of Ponia. But do you really think that the possibility that it was just a ‘monster’ is just a coincidence?”

“……”

The Emperor listens quietly to the Prime Minister’s monotonous and firm words.

“My brief opinion is this. Or, perhaps, ‘it’ was connected to Ponia from the beginning.”

“…What? Are you saying the princess sold out the country?”

“Yes. Coincidentally, the timing of its escape, the situation in which the monster parade took place in Ponia, and the actions of the ‘Empire’ to provide aid to Ponia. Don’t they fit together perfectly?”

“Yeah, but. Didn’t it tell you to wait and see what happened in Fonia?”

“What if it was said that even that was a paving stone to make us move in the opposite way?”

They deliberately made inhuman decisions to induce their movements. Through it, the empire through the aid of the monster parade ‘gained rather than gain, and suffered a loss’. The emperor who had heard such an explanation was still an emperor.

“No, but isn’t that too much of a leap? If Ponia hadn’t stopped the monster parade, wouldn’t Ponia have suffered tremendous damage, losing half of the land?”

“Even that didn’t matter to him. If that happened, there would come a time when the empire would look at you in the process of acquiring land. Moreover, the empire thought that the monster parade would not be blocked, so if you move the army, only that amount of budget will cause losses. You’ll see. Didn’t she move under such calculations? And considering that even Ponia was used as a chess horse, her actions were all calculated.”

It’s just a delusion with the leap of the leap. However, the emperor, unable to properly think in fear, could no longer ignore the chancellor’s story.

“Send a letter of protest to Ponia!! Make that mountain ranger Jack pay compensation for what he did to us and for ‘illegal’ kidnapping of ‘our’ princess!”

“Furthermore, regarding this incident, if it is revealed that Ponia itself has interfered in the internal affairs of the empire, they will even be willing to go to war. If you want to make sure that is not the case, tell them to capture that mountain ranger Jack himself and send him tied up in front of me!! !”

A declaration of war thrown by Gor. And Jack’s actions were driving the emperor and the empire, who were afraid of Ragni, increasingly crazy.

Time to move the story forward a little.

“…What kind of bullsh*t is the Empire talking about?”

“Well, I read this too. I couldn’t understand at all how delusions could lead to such stupid conclusions, so I thought a lot about whether or not I should deliver it to His Majesty.”

Nevertheless, it was reported because it was the empire, one of the continent’s hegemons. Prime Minister Ponia’s words had such a meaning.

“It has been said that it has not been restored for almost a year, with only the Poria territory left. They say that they are writing a novel on their table without being able to help.

“That’s what I think. But, as a result of my research. It is said that the mountain keeper Jack is currently working with the princess, Ragni Blue Moon Ortman.”

“Hoo.”

The blue-haired, beautiful princess, whom I saw only once during my visit to the Empire, who was intelligent, smart, and spoke as if she foresaw the future, was with the mountain keeper who had abandoned Ponia.

The king of Fonia, Grand Ponia, began to be genuinely curious. About the man named Jack, the mountain keeper.

“It’s really strange. Thanks to that man, it’s not enough that he discovered rare talents called [mountain keepers], and even living with this kind of influence, I really want to see him in person.”

“It looks like [Nate] is the next destination.”

“Hmm? Natty? No way, are you trying to gain knowledge? Heh heh, you said you’re not yet twenty, right?”

“Yes. I’m turning 19 this year.”

“It is truly admirable that you are trying to study while wandering around the country. How great it would have been if you had really stayed in our country.”

The story that Ponia’s monster parade was caused by a mountain ranger has long since disappeared. Rather, thanks to the excellent mountain keepers, they succeeded in regaining all the territories that had been pushed out in just half a year, and the people are praising the mountain keepers. Furthermore, the king did not leave the mountain keepers as mountain keepers, but made them a state position called [professional mountain keepers]. We were discovering talented people and recruiting more.

And we are strengthening such strong talent. Now all that’s left is Poria.

“Isn’t it? How are you, Johnson?”

“Yes, that young mountain ranger must have been a really strong and far-sighted ranger who was far superior to this old me.”

The man in his late 30s, who took over as leader of the [Sherpa squad], truly evaluates the young man named Jack, the mountain ranger.

Because of him, many people lived safely, and because many people were harsh on him, a third of the country’s territory was lost.

However, thanks to his actions, the lives of the mountain keepers changed, and many ‘professional’ workers who were persecuted and shunned began to find a normal life.

Perhaps, he was a true hero and a seer who single-handedly stopped the ‘demon world’ called Poria. The old mountain ranger, who served the emperor for nearly two years and only received meals, was impressed by the young man’s actions. Everyone just feels that the king’s magnanimity and his actions are amazing.

“Your Majesty. But you can’t just ignore the empire’s words like this. If the emperor of the empire is suffering from mania, he might actually take out his sword.”

“Hmm. I see. By the way, Prime Minister.”

The Emperor leisurely listens to the Prime Minister’s words, then strokes his beard and continues the story as if it is no big deal.

From noble mtl dot com

“We have the talented people we found this time, and we’re blocking that demonic realm. What if. Even if a war breaks out, if there’s [Guard Troops], do you think their strength will be able to cross the mountain on our border?”

“…Absolutely impossible. In fact, even Johnson here is on a par with the captain of our country’s knights.”

“That’s too much praise, Prime Minister.”

“No, that’s too much. I’m the Knight Commander, I’m listening, Johnson! Isn’t that too harsh?! You and I already have a record of 6 wins, 1 draw and 6 losses in 13 matches!!”

The expression of the knight commander who shouted in a fit of anger was a smile with the corner of his mouth raised.

Yes, seriously, he had already experienced first-hand the incredible power of the mountain rangers on the front lines.

And even Johnson here is the oldest among them, has a lot of experience, is high, and is not a captain because he is ‘strong’.

Seeing the knight captain’s seemingly irritated appearance, the King, the Prime Minister, and even Johnson, who had been dazed, burst into laughter, and eventually Grand Ponia opened his mouth.

“You said the money we had to give him was close to 20 million cans anyway, right?”

“Yes. If you look at the level of monsters in ‘Demon Lord’, you can say that it is actually closer to 30 million, not 20 million.”

“However, there is no sign that he will return to our country. It is said that there is a country that disapproves of his actions.”

“then.”

“30 million cans. Let’s support him at exactly that level. Pretend to listen to the empire’s conversation, but pass it on to other countries so that other countries can also find out. If you can get information to them, give it to them. They said it was headed toward Natty. “We could at least put someone from our intelligence department there.”

“If the Empire draws its sword…”

“Wouldn’t it be nice if we could tell you whose sword is stronger? Right, [Guardian] Captain?”

“If we have the opportunity to show our loyalty to our country, we will pledge again to become road-breakers (Sherpas).”

Poria’s monster level was too high.

That’s why Ponia is currently gathering strength and blocking only the monsters that flow from there with the mountain keepers and the army, and they are not putting their efforts into recapturing the territory yet.

And because of that, it is handed down there.

The legend of the 15-year-old mountain keeper who blocked this mountain, that demonic landscape, alone.

Mountain Keeper Jack. And the traces of his father who raised him. It was gradually growing within Phonia, which had not perished.

and present.

“…Is this Miho?”

“I’ll take responsibility and go to Natty and get it back to normal.”

“If I just wanted to have Miho, I’d sew it normally. What else would make a child look like a real dog?”

“I’m not really like that…”

The mountain keeper, who was about to become a legend in Ponia, bowed his head in front of the elves and made excuses.
