It’s been tens of thousands of years since this world came into being and life began to breathe.
Over that long period of time, the countless living creatures that emerged evolved into several species.
Each person lives in their own home with their own way of life, sometimes invading or opposing others,
The trend of the world has been to establish their own countries, conclude agreements, and avoid unnecessary conflicts.
Thanks to such a trend, unnecessary deaths and deficiencies slowly began to disappear,
Those who lived in this world were satisfied with it and moved for purposes other than survival.
After so many days, peace would slowly settle in.
But that peace was like glass, so thin and fragile.
The Demons, a race that looks like a devil and uses dark magic, broke the peace agreement and
He started a large-scale war to conquer everyone in the world and turn it into a world of demons.
The first country targeted by the demons was Licht, a country built mainly on humans.
The outstanding magic power and vast knowledge possessed by elves and fairies.
The strong stamina and strength that the dragons and dwarves have.
Humans had everything, but there was nothing they excelled at,
They had excellent eloquence and wisdom to persuade others.
Using that talent, he unites with countries of races other than demons to create the ‘Great Demon Union’.
They succeeded in annihilating the demons in a war that lasted over 100 years.
That must have been the case.
***
“Are you here? Other lords are waiting inside.”
“Thank you.”
Inside the huge gate guarded by guards, a large round table stands tall in the center.
The lords who rule the cities of the Licht Kingdom are seated in many seats surrounding the round table.
“You came. So, everyone who was supposed to gather at the lords’ meeting today attended.”
“So. What is the reason for gathering all these people in one place?”
A lord with an ugly appearance who cannot support his clothes even though he wears expensive and flashy clothes.
From the beginning, he was fiddling with his mustache and complaining in a voice full of dissatisfaction.
“Everyone will know that Freed and Stafon were recently attacked by unidentified monsters.
According to the testimony of the scouting party sent to the scene several times… they are calling themselves demons.”
“Asmodians? Demons?”
“What does that mean? Didn’t the demons become extinct hundreds of years ago?”
“Ha! By the way… did you ask me to take time out of my busy schedule to tell you something ridiculous?”
Various reactions erupted from the words of the lord who was sitting in his seat and leading the meeting.
Among them, the most common reactions were astonishment.
From complaints that they were wasting their time and energy with nonsense stories,
Out of nowhere, there were some surprised reactions asking what that really meant.
“I admit that this is a truly unbelievable story.
So I brought some material to show you.”
The lord with a handsome beard took a thick wad of paper from his servant,
He personally went around to the seats of the lords and handed out pieces of paper one by one.
“This… This is…”
“This is the appearance of monsters recorded on paper using projection magic.
It is similar to the scenes recorded during the demon war in the past.”
The paper he handed contained images of demons recorded using projection magic and warrior magic.
“This… only appears in history books that record past wars…”
“That’s right. It is similar to the monsters that demons created by modifying monsters.”
Pictures of naked women riding on top of spiders and raping men,
A man’s body crawling in a creepy manner with spider legs attached.
Their appearance was similar to those recorded as ‘monsters’ in human history books.
And another piece of paper handed out to them.
“This… This… is definitely a demon…!”
“This is truly terrible… I can see that traces of the projection magic remain, so it’s really true…”
Another piece of paper placed on their hands depicts a demon with pale skin and horns and a tail.
Among them, it contained the image of Empress Nyx Kaiserin, who leads the demons.
“With this, everyone has learned that it is a clear fact that demons have appeared again.
Of course, except that the person recorded on the transfer paper has the appearance of a demon…
We only have a few pieces of information.”
There is little information that modern humans know about beings who disappeared more than 200 years ago.
There was no way to know whether the demons of the past and the demons that appeared now were individuals with the same characteristics.
“Even though Fried was a small and poor place where it was difficult to maintain the city itself,
Isn’t Stafon quite large and even located near the cathedral?”
The lords who received a few pieces of information and saw it with their own eyes felt that it was not an appropriate problem.
Everyone began to express their opinions with serious expressions.
“Could you please explain what the characteristics of these demons and monsters are?”
“This friend who came back alive from the scouting party will explain it to you.”
A knight led by the hand of the lord leading the meeting.
The young knight, who has a youthful face and appears to have no age, begins to tell about what he saw.
“I grew up as a knight since I was young and have no knowledge of magic, so I know little.
I could feel that the strange and evil magic they used was not ordinary.
It spreads something like a black cloud in an instant, putting the knights in fear,
We attacked them mercilessly using the monsters printed on this paper.”
“Black cloud…? Does magic using black clouds exist?
hey. Haven’t you been working as a wizard for a long time?”
In response to the testimony of the knight who returned alive from the scouting party, the lord who was touching his mustache asked the lord who was a wizard.
“The magic that uses black clouds is magic that cannot be passed down to humans, elves or fairies.
I’ve learned a lot of magic over 30 years… but I’ve never heard of a magic that uses black clouds.”
The lord, a former wizard with a long white beard and flowing hair, sighed and answered.
“However… it is possible to guess the identity of the magic that feels black and evil.
Neither humans like us nor any other species can use it…
It is possible to guess that it is an evil and cruel magic used only by demons.”
“I see! Are there any records or magic books left about that evil magic?”
“There is nothing left for me. I’ll have to look for that from now on.”
Although it wasn’t exact, the white-haired lord seemed to have some sense of the demon’s black magic.
” As Lord Chrysen said, we must find all the information about the demons left behind.
Otherwise… the city of lords may also meet the same ending as Stafon.”
“That will never happen! Cancer!”
At first, there were many lords who complained and complained,
They were already concentrating on the meeting, thinking that their city would be attacked.
“I think there are old magic books and records left behind by our ancestors in each city…
If you collect them and investigate them, won’t you come up with some answer?”
“I think it would be desirable to collect and investigate historical sites in all cities.”
Several lords suggested that we collect and research old data related to demons.
“That is the opposite. How can we collect all that data?”
“I am also against it. We cannot carelessly pass over the precious legacies left behind by our ancestors.”
There is an opinion that it is realistically difficult to collect a lot of data,
The opinion of the investigation was conflicting with the claim that they did not want to pass on the precious legacy left behind by their predecessors to others.
Although it was the most efficient and quick way to quickly research a large amount of data,
The opposing lords’ comments were not an understandable reason.
“Then… how about having the investigators stay in that city and preserve the data as much as possible?”
“Hmm… Can you really guarantee that it won’t be damaged?”
The meeting, which continued to exchange opinions and find intersections, gradually came closer to a conclusion.
The lord who conducted the meeting summarized his opinions and asked the other lords in the meeting.
“In each city, select people with the ability to analyze ancient books or interpret magic books,
The first step is to organize them into a ‘special investigation team.’
The investigation team toured all the cities in the kingdom and organized the data collected in detail.
We would like to proceed with the goal of sharing it at the next lords’ meeting next month.”
Each city elects people to form an investigation team,
The plan was that they would travel to all regions of the kingdom and collect information related to demons.
“Do you plan to report this matter to Your Majesty, Lord Damon?”
“I don’t know about that. For now, I think it would be better to keep an eye on their situation.”
Lord Damon said that it was not enough to report to the king of the Kingdom of Richt yet.
With those last words, the lord’s meeting, which started early in the morning, ended only after the sun rose in the sky.
