The Demon King's Reincarnation Starts a New Life From Zero

V2 Chapter 28 Cylus Empire

The Cylus Empire was a sacred place for blacksmiths, it was a country called the country of fire and iron.

The majority of the country's territory is mountainous districts, and most mountains feature mines.

Most of the citizens were Metalio, but other than them, various races like Humans, Sylphids, and Beastmen aiming to become blacksmiths also lived there.

Agriculture was not very prosperous, for this part they had to rely on imports from large foreign countries.

As for their military aspect, the tenacity of the Knights Order Cylus Empire, which was configured with Metalio who excelled in terms of endurance and strength compared to other races as its center, was notoriously reliable.

The Knight Order were rushing about the mountain district with baseless stamina and covering themselves in high-quality weaponry.

Because of that power came the saying "only a fool would commit theft in the Cylus Empire" was born.

Blacksmithing, which could be said to be the main industry of the country, worked on the merit system, and anyone from anywhere would be welcomed as long as they had that ability.

If viewed from another point of view, there was also the risk of quite a lot of blacksmith technology flowing abroad, but for the blacksmiths to the Cylus Empire who always kept moving a few steps forward, it was not the case, something like technology that will eventually flow is not at all their problem.

That was because if one were to stay in the Cylus Empire, they would reluctantly be able to understand that the advanced technology of blacksmiths could only be found here. Hence, the truly skilled blacksmith did not wish to leave the Cylus Empire.

In the Cylus Empire where such craftsmen gathered, although the war that could cover the entire Shutaia Continent was gathering momentum, it seemed like they were continuing business as usual.

The city was filled with the liveliness and sound of blacksmiths, and there were even countless people coming and going.

…… However, with the signs of imminent war, as expected, people were vaguely showing anxiety.

Refugees increased. Rumors that war is looming can be heard.

Naturally, even the palace of the Cylas Empire was trying to understand the situation and discuss how to handle it.

"……I get it. So Borkio is still missing .... yes.”.

“Yes, Emperor. We still do not know anything other than the news that they have left the port of the Kingdom of St. Altlis.”

The person called Emperor heard those words, and leaned his body into his throne.

Emperor of the Cylus Empire, Alfgard.

He is concerned about Borkio, the diplomat who vanished along with his state-of-the-art ship.

Being on a safe sea route where they wouldn't even meet bandits, why would Borkio have to cut off all contact.

Conspiracy theories by the Kingdom of St. Altlis, the theory of attacks by Monsters, the theory of the betrayal of Borkio, various rumors flowed forward, and each time, Alfgard would think.

Did something happen to Borkio? Is he alive, or is he dead?

The influx of refugees brought about the rise of Demi-Human rejection arguments in the Kingdom of St. Altlists.

At present, where citizens become sensitive to information, their time can hide the fact that Borkio has cut ties will not be long.

If the news were to spread, there would naturally be people who would link the situation of the St. Empire. Altlis with the problem of Borkio.

There is no benefit to the fellow members of mankind who go to war. But why does no one understand that?

"……why. What do people in the Kingdom of St. Altlis ...”.

The one looking down on the depressed emperor was a crow.

But of course, it was no ordinary crow.

His name is Fei. After infiltrating the Shutaia Continent on Sechste's orders, he was the same kind of Monster as Ei.

“……”

In fact, Fei was sympathetic to this Emperor Alfgard.

Being noble and kind, this man had his fair share of qualities as a leader.

It was Fei's evaluation of Alfgard.

If there is anything lacking, it will be power. Since he had no power, Alfgard was troubled like this even now.

Within the Cylus Empire, people were hesitant about how the country should move with respect to the signs of war floating among the St. Empire. Altlis and the Jiol Forest Kingdom.

People who declare that they should stand between them and mediate with them.

The ones who declared that they should ally with the Jiol Forest Kingdom.

People who claim that they should not be involved with them.

Since Alfgard was part of the mediation faction, he moved so that the country would become like that as well but.

Instead, recently, it was said that the envoy of the Cylus Empire had severed contact within the St. Empire. Altlists.

In regards to this fact, the supporters of the war faction strongly claimed that this was the deed of the St. Kingdom. Altlists.

The Royal Diplomat of St. The Altlis stationed in the Cylus Empire promised that they would conduct a thorough investigation, but there did not seem to be any clear information until now.

“...... This is a suspicious story. I might need to coordinate with Ei and gather evidence. “

Climbing onto the roof of the palace, Fei muttered that.

The fact that Ei and Fei, who specialized in espionage activities, were expressly sent out meant that Sechste had determined that the truth could not be found unless someone who dived deeply was hidden.

As a result of the information he had gathered from the palace over the past few days, Fei could not help feeling that there was someone operating behind the scenes.

He did not know who that person was, but most likely, something was moving with the St. Empire. Altlis as the center.

“. It seems that where you are is the jackpot, you know?”

As Fei muttered that, he looked deeply towards the St. Empire. Altlis.
