I can see the Emperor's stats-Chapter 87

desert vision

Around the time Julius was preparing to leave for the desert, unexpected news came from far away on the Eastern Continent.

“Did the Demonic Cult rise in the West Continent?”

“It certainly does. The first lady, including the head of the foreign party, Jegal-geon, said that it was something she had confirmed with her own eyes.”

“Huh… … .”

Now, I thought I could move most of my base to the western continent, but what kind of lightning?

The middle-aged man stroking his beard and groaning was the head of the Jegal family.

“Let Sega call a meeting”

After a while, several figures entered the room he was in.

It is said to be a Sega meeting, but since it was a meeting attended only by the heads of each party, only five people were actually sitting around the house.

“The Demonic Cult?”

“… … .”

Some people doubted the authenticity, others just kept silent. That's why the name Demonic Cult had a lot of weight to them.

"Why don't you fight a battle on this continent, which is your home base?"

“I can’t turn back anymore. Half of Sega's power has already been moved to the West Continent.”

Because the matter was so important, there was no choice but to go back and forth between them.

“Can I say something?”

Ga-joo's expression was different. That person was a young man who looked less than 30 years old, and from the beginning he just watched quietly and did not give any particular opinion.

“Nebula, talk to me.”

“Once we gathered information about the West Continent in the Hyeonwol War, it seems that the West Continent is also a very dangerous place.”

"hmm… So, are you saying we should withdraw?”

Surprisingly, it was this young man who was in charge of Hyeonwoljeon, one of the best intelligence organizations in Huan.

youth. Zhuge Nebula shakes his head.

“There is not enough information to confirm yet. And I see helpers in the western continent as a big variable.

“You mean the first prince of that empire? I heard that he was a young man who had just turned 20. I heard martial arts are great, but... … .”

As befits a key figure in Sega, they didn't jump to conclusions about Julius. However, in general, there was a tendency to look down on the warriors of the western continent as a whole, and their age could never be ignored.

“So, wouldn’t it be fine to judge the person called the first prince?”

"hmm… So, do you have any specific plans?”

“No matter how brilliant a person is, people will never be able to look inside unless they see it in person.”

Zhuge Nebula quietly began to speak his mind.

Upon reaching the borders of Parthia, Julius was greeted enthusiastically.

“Your Highness the Prince! It is an honor to see you again.”

It was obvious who was greeting him with a fuss.

“Did you say Zamir? Long time no see. But a prince would have many things to do, but he managed to make it to the border in time.”

“Didn't I tell you before? He said that if you ever come to the desert, I will personally guide you.”

Zamir, who flattered Julius with a smile on his face, was in a very good mood.

'This is sure to be Heimdall's care! There were a lot of problems I was wondering how to deal with, but I'll take this opportunity to sort them out!'

'If this foolish-looking fellow has such a great influence in Parthia, then the power of the cult in Parthia must be unusual.'

[Al Zamir]

Occupation: Senior Priest (Heimdall Church)

Strength: C+ Quickness: C+ Intelligence: A+ Spirit: A+ Dark Power: A+

Alignment: Lively, Pure, Fanatic

[characteristic]

Dark Sorcery: Power granted to the priests of Heimdall. Depending on your skill level, you can use a variety of techniques.

'He must have been more talented than I thought. Although he's a priest, he doesn't seem to have any fighting skills, so he's a target of attention.'

After checking his stats, Julius smiled and opened his mouth again.

“Then take good care of the capital, Harun. You said you would treat me generously, but where should I take a look at your abilities?”

"haha! You won't have to worry about that.”

It seemed that Zamir had made thorough preparations to welcome him.

“The cities from the borders of the Empire to Harun are all scenic tourist destinations designed by me! You won't be bored while you go.”

“You mean you designed the tourist spot yourself?”

When Julius looked at him with a look of interest, Wallace also burst into laughter and helped.

“In fact, this prince played a big role in Parthia becoming the most prosperous of the desert kingdoms in recent years.”

* * *

The place has changed, and this is Harun, the capital of the Parthian kingdom.

“The first prince of the empire has arrived at the border?”

"yes! It looks like Prince Zamir went to meet him himself.”

"her… After all, there's no way that suspicious salesman would miss an opportunity like this.”

The man listening to the report was a middle-aged man in his forties. His fairly robust build and hard muscles visible through his tanned skin indicated that he was a well-trained warrior.

This is the second prince, Karim, who is said to be the most powerful person in the Parthian kingdom. At first glance, he had an overbearing physique that looked like a born warrior, but the gun in his eyes was also unusual.

“Did you say that the reason you came as an envoy was to ask for support to attack the Kalihara Kingdom?”

“It is absurd. Why should we shed blood for the Empire?”

As such, those who followed him were skeptical. In fact, Kalihara and them had a relationship like cows and chickens.

Kalihara treated the three kingdoms of the eastern desert as renegades who abandoned their traditional beliefs and traded with the infidels, but did not dare to touch them because of their main enemy, the Empire.

However, if you actively cooperate with the Empire, the story is different. Because they know how crazy the Kalihara fanatics are.

“It is an alliance that is not even worth accepting in common sense.”

"Isn't it suspicious enough that you're coming there with Prince Zamir?"

"stop!"

Karim restrained them and opened his mouth with a non-trivial expression.

“As you said, the conditions are absurd, so shouldn't we just refuse? Anyway, after hearing the news, I heard that he's been having fun with Zamir, so he might be just coming for a vacation.”

That's what he said, but Karim had a slightly different view of Julius.

'Wallace asked me to remove the first prince this time, right?'

Considering his power in the desert, it wasn't quite an impossible task. However, to assassinate the prince was too risky.

“The grand duke assured me that he would take responsibility for the impact of the death of the prince! You shouldn't worry about that.”

When Wallace met him, he pounded his chest and confessed, but Karim thought it was very suspicious.

“How can you believe that? As far as I know, the emperor of the current empire loves the first prince very much, right?”

"that… … .”

“Give me a compelling reason. If you are offered more funding, I will refuse.”

Wallace, speechless, cursed inwardly.

'Damn it... I thought this man was simply an ambitious royal family, but he's not.'

* * *

Julius looked down at Wallace, who lowered his head with a pathetic expression.

"That's why I said it's better to join hands with Zamir."

"That's right. Actually, what can I say with my mouth, but am I not worth using yet?”

Wallace tried really hard to convince Julius. The Archduke's request was to move his connections and bury Julius in the desert.

But the problem was that Karim, whom I had to cooperate with, was surprisingly stubborn. Until then, secretly dispatching troops within the empire was also helping me, but why is this all of a sudden?

However, whether he killed or saved Julius, the fact of the raid had to be known before the archduke would consider him fulfilling his orders.

“So, take this opportunity to build power in the Desert Kingdom and help Zamir to overthrow Karim!”

Wallace was enthused.

It was argued that if Karim was destroyed, Wallace would naturally have something to make an excuse for to the Archduke, and that Julius would not have to worry about being attacked.

"majesty! Even if you see this old man, please… … .”

“For now, let's decide by looking at that Karim. Anyway, please explain again how the power structure between the two is.”

Julius paused and asked another question. Wallace began to explain with a teary face.

“You must have heard of the warriors of the desert. Karim himself is very brave and treats warriors preferentially, so tribes with many outstanding warriors swear loyalty to Karim.”

"It's no wonder I'm not the real power of Parthia."

"That's right. But Zamir's side is not easy either. He is the owner of abilities that cannot be compared to Karim, at least in terms of financial power.”

"hmm? What do you mean?”

“You know that Parthia has become the number one tourist attraction for the imperial nobility in recent years.”

"You mean that's his credit?"

"That's right!"

Wallace was eloquent here. It was quite interesting for Julius as well.

'You mean they're making huge profits from tourism by developing the cities along the trade route with the empire and the capital, Harun?'

In fact, how much would there be to trade with the empire in the desolate desert? However, in the past few years, the tourism business initiated by Zamir came as a fresh shock to the imperial aristocracy.

“I heard that the tour course of the desert kingdom is literally all the pleasures of the world can be enjoyed?”

“Is it such a nice place?”

In recent years, Parthia tourism has become fashionable enough to be considered an essential course for the aristocrats and wealthy classes in the empire.

Of course, the amount of money sprinkled was enormous as it was aimed at nobles. Originally a traditional desert power, the current Parthian kingdom was richer than ever.

The other two kingdoms of the eastern desert probably wouldn't be so much against the alliance if Parthia were in favor of it.

After hearing the explanation, Julius had no choice but to gorge himself again.

'You say it's a hidden church, but it's surprisingly active in the sun? He's a funny guy.'

* * *

Zamir smiled and guided the delegation to a city on the way to the capital.

“The soldiers have prepared a place to rest nearby. The prince just needs to follow me with the knights.”

'Certainly well decorated.'

The city was full of the exotic atmosphere unique to the desert kingdom. However, if it is just a unique building, is there any reason for nobles to flock to it?

“You can go in here. I guarantee it will be an unforgettable night!”

“… … !?”

After passing through a dark passage in the building and being guided to a secret room as bright as daylight, Julius finally knew what that unforgettable night was about.

'ah… Is this the harem of the desert kingdom that I've only heard about?'

In the secret room, women in see-through outfits were lined up with their backs bowed politely.

Jamir clapped his hands and opened his mouth with a bright expression.

“I can’t tell you exactly who I am today, but a very special guest has come. Serve with all your heart!”

Then he approached Julius and whispered in his ear.

“If you have a child you like, you can take him to the door over there. Please tell the knights too.”

'Tsk... Looking at the popularity, I thought it wasn't just tourism, but there was a reason for this?'

Julius laughed on the outside, but on the inside he kept clicking his tongue.

“I appreciate your kindness, but I don't think this kind of welcome is a little bit for the knights. Just guide me to the lodging.”

Julius flatly refused. Did you know how to play tricks on him and his knights in this mysterious secret room and have fun (?) in compliance?

'If I add it separately, there's another reason.'

“… … .”

Beatrice had a slightly bluish complexion, which was rare. Of course, Seongguk is a place where frugality and abstinence are virtues even for nobles. Growing up in such a place, I had no choice but to be immune to this decadent environment.

When Julius refused like a knife, as if he didn't even have to think about it, she conveyed her gratitude with a look of considerable relief.

"this… It is one of the biggest traditions of welcoming guests in our tribe, but when I think about it, it seems that the difference in culture is not taken into account. I'm really sorry."

Zamir also bowed his head as if he was sorry, but inside he was quite perplexed.

'How can a prince of that age be so plain with sex? This plan goes awry from the beginning?'

In fact, tradition was half right and half wrong.

Desert Harem!

It was literally just tourism, appropriately tinged with the fantasies the nobles of the Empire harbored of a desert realm where polygamy was permitted.

Not all deserts have such a tradition.

For example, the tribes supporting Karim, the second prince, acknowledged that Zamir's business was profitable, but looked at it with disapproval.

Zamir opened his mouth with a bright expression as soon as he came out as if to change the atmosphere.

“No matter what, I have to treat you as much as I said I welcomed you. I will hold another banquet that suits the formality of the empire.”

“It doesn't matter.”

Julius also readily accepts. This is because it is a good opportunity to observe the enemy if the location is not a suspicious secret room.
