94. You must listen to what people say to the end.

‘Borrowing troops from Earth…’

It wasn’t an entirely impossible story.

In the past, it was the Western powers that went through the trouble to secure their colonies.

What if you think of the Newpan continent as a new colony…?

‘If only the United States agrees, there will be many countries that will follow.’

Just thinking about it, it was a terrible thing.

Soon, there were many professors who looked serious at the Duke’s words.

Of course, there were some who were not.

However, most of the aristocratic faction followed the Duke’s words.

As soon as the duke sat down, everyone started expressing opposing opinions.

“Hmm, I guess I can’t trust the devil.”

“Correct. How dare you make a pact with the devil!”

But that was then.

Suddenly the dean looked at me.

And spoke to me.

“What do you think, Seongja?”

It was quite a random statement.

And I immediately knew the dean’s intentions.

‘I’m asking you to oppose the duke’s opinion.’

He didn’t call me an exaggeration, he called me a saint.

They had deliberately called me to a position where I could stand against the head of the noble faction.

‘Hmm, was the King of Aachen planning to make an agreement with the Demon King?’

If this continues, the entire population of Trier will die. Trier itself was disappearing.

Moreover, all of his children were here.

From the King of Aachen’s point of view, he had no choice but to lean in favor of the Demon King’s proposal.

but…

“I strongly oppose the devil’s proposal.”

“……!!”

I had no choice but to oppose the Demon King unconditionally.

It wasn’t because he belonged to a warrior party in the past and fought the Demon King.

This was because there was only one ticket to go to Earth. I had to get that ticket no matter what.

Anyway, the dean looked quite shocked at my words.

Actually, I took the side of the Geunwang faction last time. So it seemed like the dean also secretly thought of me as a modern-day royalist.

But I wasn’t particularly interested in such factional fighting.

All I cared about was getting back to Earth.

‘Besides, I’m a bit interested in the hero’s failure… and the prosperity of the people around me, too.’

But the Demon King’s proposal seriously hindered my goal. No, it went beyond interfering with it and was at the level of taking it away. Of course I couldn’t agree.

I continued speaking in a firm tone.

“I have experience directly fighting the Demon King in a former warrior party.”

Of course, I didn’t fight him one-on-one. That was impossible even for a hero. I just played Daguri (?) with the hero. Still, it didn’t mean we didn’t fight.

“So I know the devil very well. What he wants most is to conquer Newpan. This case is definitely related to this. So, you should never accept the devil’s offer.”

The atmosphere in the conference room changed with my words.

I wasn’t leading a large flock like a peacock. But the influence was not small.

In particular, the title of saint was even recognized directly by the church. Maybe that’s why everyone started to seriously consider what I said.

Of course, there could not be no backlash.

Soon I saw Serge Geis standing up from his seat.

“So, are you saying we should just be trapped like this and die?”

He was a representative Geunwang faction. Probably, he had received word from the King of Aachen in advance. That’s why they immediately objected to my words.

I shook my head at his words.

“No.”

“Then…! Can the saint heal all the people trapped in Trier?”

“Not even that.”

Again, I shook my head.

Then the atmosphere started to become noisy again.

“Ha…!”

“Aren’t you saying there is no solution?!”

Serge Geis spoke of the most important thing: survival. No one would want to die like this. So, I couldn’t help but be shaken by his words.

“Then, there is no solution now…! Did you just blindly say that we should oppose it because it was the devil’s suggestion?!”

In fact, there was a bit of disappointment hidden in his expression. It seemed like he really thought of me that way.

But there was no way I would have said something like this without any countermeasures.

Soon my mouth opened.

It was a fairly calm tone.

However, the content was not ordinary.

“I’m currently making a cure for the disease.”

“Hmm…!”

“Cure…?!”

Everyone looked slightly surprised at my words.

But that was all. There was no dramatic reaction.

Currently, all the wizards at the academy are making cures.

That was why Constantine and Professor Armel were not visible. Like great wizards, they were both working hard to create a cure.

Soon Serge Geis opened his mouth again.

“So? Do you mean to risk the lives of 100,000 people in Trier by trusting in a cure that may be created at any moment?

I nodded at his words.

“Yes.”

“Ha…!”

Then I could see Serge Geis making a bewildered expression.

Murmur.

The rest of the professors did the same. Everyone gave me a look of disappointment. I thought that a saint would have a solution.

But I had to listen to what people had to say to the end.

“Don’t be disappointed. Already, about 80 percent has been completed.”

“Hmm…?!”

“80 percent?!”

“Really?!”

Everyone stood up at my words. And then he looked at me with eyes that changed in an instant. The eyes were full of earnestness.

Serge Geis was also the same.

In fact, if a cure existed, he wouldn’t necessarily want to make a pact with the devil.

When I saw that, I even confirmed and killed him.

“Yes. Take my word for it. I am a saint. I don’t lie or anything like that.”

What I just said was a lie.

But if no one knew it was a lie, it soon became the truth.

It was the same this time too.

I had the title of saint. The reliability had to be that high. No one ever thought I would lie.

Soon everyone’s eyes began to shine. It was because there was hope that he could survive.

I looked at the dean in that state.

“I guess there’s no need to vote.”

It was as I said.

“Oh…! I can finally live!”

“Cancer. I am sure it is what the saint said!”

“If this is the case, there is no need to take suggestions from the devil!”

“Of course! How dare you make a contract with the devil? Not even a hero.”

The trend was already in full swing. Now, no one can overturn this.

And there was no way the dean didn’t know that.

dump.

He sat down with a dark expression. It was a quite shocked face.

‘Maybe the dean will change.’

In fact, the Dean disappointed the King twice. If it was the King of Aachen’s personality, there was no way he would leave it alone.

Of course, it was none of my business.

I sat down slowly. Then I saw the saint and Lucien looking at me with bright eyes.

Perhaps, I thought my speech was cool in its own way.

They were both looking at me with flushed faces.

‘The more I look at them both, the cuter they look.’

I smiled softly. I felt strangely proud.

At that time, I felt another gaze. This time it was an unpleasant look.

As I slowly turned my head, I saw the Duke’s face looking at me.

He was looking at me with his usual face.

But my eyes couldn’t deceive me. His expression was full of hostility that could not be hidden.

And it was worse than usual.

‘Why? I definitely took the duke’s side this time, right?’

I quickly got lost in thought.

And I soon found out why.

‘Is it because I agree with his opinion…?’

Now that I think about it, it was strange that the duke continued to remain at the academy. Moreover, it was the same to oppose the Demon King’s proposal.

Obviously, someone of that status would have valued their own life the most.

But he wasn’t like that.

It seemed like there was a goal more important than life.

And that goal…

‘Are we going to Earth…?’

It seemed like the Duke in front of me was one of the few who realized the importance of the Earth, just like the Demon King.

That’s why he was showing such hostility now.

He realized that I, who also opposed him, was in the same category as him.

‘Anyway, even if the other person is very smart, it’s still tiring…’

But there was no need to worry too much.

‘Anyway, no one can touch it while I make the cure.’

He, too, would like me to normalize Trier for now.

That was certain.

Plus, there was something he didn’t know.

‘He doesn’t know the power of all battles. No, I don’t know about Manjinjeon itself.’

No one knew the power of the battle of all people. Even Master didn’t know. Only I knew.

And if we succeed in normalizing Trier…?

‘You will be adored by a huge number of people.’

And to that extent, the battle between all people will be strengthened.

‘The pure strength and firepower may surpass that of the warrior…?’

This does not mean that you will always be stronger than the warrior. I had to stick to it to find out.

This was because the strengthening of the battle of all people did not mean that the level of swordsmanship or magic would increase.

However, it was true that the gang stat itself was getting stronger.

In terms of the game, it could be said that the skills were the same but the stats had increased.

That’s why I said there was no need to worry.

This was because as long as he could not be surpassed by the warrior in terms of force, he would be able to make a big deal out of it.

of course…

‘I just need to make a cure. Only the cure…’

All of this was only if the cure was successfully created. If you couldn’t make it within the period, you were completely screwed.

That too will be completely ruined.

‘You may end up in an abyss worse than that of a hero…’

Ah, now that I think about it, that probably won’t happen.

Everyone in Trier will lose their lives.

‘Huh, you don’t have to worry about the rumor spreading…’
