I said arrogantly, leaning back on the sofa with my legs crossed, just like Dazar.
“Are you saying you don’t believe me when I say that I visited the Eastern Continent?”
“No, before that, I was a public figure… “What is that?”
“there is. A relic of an old era. First of all, we need to talk about something important. “Eastern Continent.”
Then Dazar narrowed his eyes and looked at me.
“okay. The Eastern Continent. “I can’t believe it.”
I thought through the memories in my body, but it was clear that I had visited the Eastern Continent.
But Dazar was right.
It made no sense to travel to the East Continent using only the strength of this body.
It is an area where even transcendentalists cannot penetrate the barrier.
‘Hmm.’
The various problems occurring here on the Quisen continent are contradictory… … .
It used to happen because of that huge barrier that was put in place to protect our lives.
Including not being able to go outside the continent.
Dazar’s search for new food was also related to this. In the midst of a food crisis, we are unable to trade with other continents.
‘But how did you really get there?’
Although the unfamiliar clothing, the exotic-looking people, and the time I spent there came to mind at first glance.
In fact, my memories of heading to the East Continent were blurry, as if a fog had accumulated. He just remembered that he had been there.
There was no basis for claiming that Dazar’s words were true.
So I shrugged and said.
“Then let me correct it. I haven’t been to the Eastern Continent. “There is food.”
“what?”
“The problem is that you have been to the Eastern Continent, right? Let’s pretend I didn’t go. “What’s important is that I have crops to use as new food.”
“under!”
Dazar laughed.
He put his arm on the armrest and rested his chin on it.
The slanted face was cold and arrogant. It was a face that had thrown away all manners.
“She’s a real goal-scoring woman.”
“That side is very cowardly and annoying. “Everyone should know that Duke Siaster is such a dirty person.”
“I thought it was something out of the ordinary when I picked up the rattle yesterday.”
“I don’t think that’s something someone who just stabbed me with a sword would say.”
Dazar grinned.
He was looking at me as if he had discovered something very interesting.
He crossed his legs and said.
“It’s much more effective in stopping a baby’s crying than that rattle.”
“That must be great. You have a sword that is good for comforting babies. Where did you get it right? “I guess I should get one too.”
“Because it is a sacred instrument passed down from generation to generation. “I’m sorry, but I don’t know where I got it from.”
There was a lot of fruitless fighting going on.
As I watched the smile getting deeper, I felt like I was losing it.
I lowered my upper body and lightly hit the table.
bang.
“That’s it. They say we need new food. “I have it. Why are you talking so much?”
Then Dazar bent his upper body close, just like me.
The two bodies on the table became closer.
When he came so close that I wanted to step back, I closed my eyes.
The eye contact was a little strange.
That’s because his eyes were too deep for a violent and unlucky man to have.
He raised one eyebrow slightly and said softly.
“Then bring the food.”
“What if I bring it?”
“I’ll give you what you want.”
I looked straight into his golden eyes and smiled.
“call.”
It was only a moment, but it seemed like those eyes were sparkling.

“It was probably an order given by the Emperor, no, His Majesty.”
On the way back to Viscount Evanroir in the carriage, Elston, who was sitting across from me, spoke.
I tilted my head as I looked at the plants passing by quickly outside the window.
“Your Majesty?”
“yes.”
I had just asked him why the Duke of Siaster was looking for new food.
Elston seemed to be a little worried, but took out a coupon with the words ‘cute Axion 30-second hug ticket’ written on it, and answered with a puzzled expression.
“Scarlett, the current emperor of the Quizen Empire, is Lord Xuan. “Of all the emperors in history, he is probably the one who loves his people the most.”
“Hmm. Yes.”
Even looking at the information in this body’s memories, Scarlett, the current emperor of the Quizen Empire, loved and loved his people. If we were to find a similar figure in Korea before possession, it would be King Sejong.
They brought together talented people to create inventions for the people, and solved problems by understanding the hardships they faced in detail.
“Since you are King Seongun, there are loud voices of dissatisfaction among the nobles.”
“… … .”
Elston turned his head and looked out the window.
His eyes looked a little tired.
“Well, the food issue this time around is probably related to those things as well. “Miar is a staple food in this isolated continent, but the distribution is monopolized by nobles.”
It was as he said.
This was because the nobles had the monopoly on Miar divided into each piece of land.
The imperial family held less than 5% of it. This was because the imperial authority collapsed in the generation before the Scarlet Emperor, known as Seongun.
The imperial power that collapsed at that time not only ruined the imperial family but also the empire.
It was the Scarlet Emperor who managed to hold on to the imperial throne that had been torn to pieces and brought it up to this point.
Thanks to this, unlike in the past, today’s nobles follow the emperor’s orders without hesitation.
“Anyway, if new food is invented and managed directly by the imperial family, the people will not have to pay exorbitant prices for miar, they will not have to go hungry for lack of money, and the country will become wealthy. Isn’t it something like that?”
Elston, who discussed the situation in an unusually serious voice, looked like a magic tower owner.
However, Elston’s words were interpreted a little differently. The reason they were trying to develop new food now was obviously because Miar’s harvest had been disrupted.
Just like in the original.
I just nodded roughly.
“okay. “You are a wonderful person.”
While cooing quietly.
At that time, Elston looked at me and asked.
“But how did you get to the Eastern Continent?”
“The Eastern Continent? “Me?”
“yes. “You said you were there earlier.”
Elston tilted his head.
I looked at him blankly, asking what he was talking about.
“Are you sick? I told you that I visited the East Continent at some point. “When you go to the Magic Tower, start by measuring ten.”
“… … ?”
Ignoring the confusion in Elston’s brown eyes, I turned my head back out the window.
‘Well, anyway. It must be true that the food problem is serious.’
Actually, I took some rice with rice grains earlier.
But the reason I brought it back to Dazar without showing it to him was partly because he was that crazy guy yesterday, but also because he was very suspicious of me.
I felt like a crazy person like that would only be believed if I fed him directly.
The corners of his mouth curled up evilly.
* * *
“Goodbye, Elston! See you again soon!”
“Hmm, well, it’s not that I really want to see it. At least say hello to that kid while you’re here… … .”
Hwiik.
Elston scratched the back of his head as he looked at the back of Celia, who quickly disappeared as if she had teleported.
“… … “Has he gone?”
As Elston took a deep breath and drew the equation, the scenery in front of him suddenly changed.
A space movement spell was cast.
“Lord Magic Tower! “You must be so busy, why are you always away these days?”
“Lord Magic Tower! “You said you would look into the errors in the last golem operation study. When can you look at it?”
“Lord Magic Tower! “Lord of the Magic Tower!”
That damn magic tower lord.
As soon as he arrived at the Magic Tower, Elston’s eyes widened as he saw the wizards noisily looking for him.
As the owner of the only magic tower on the continent, he was a man with a lot of work to do.
In short, he is a very busy person.
Recently, he was obsessed with a woman, so he gave up his personal time to act as a doctor for an unborn baby.
“Now, everyone, stand in line one by one.”
Elston lined up the wizards who had business with him and quickly began processing their work reports.
Since he had been the leader of the Magic Tower for a long time, it was easy for him to get this much behind.
‘Celia Evanroir.’
As Elston worked mechanically, he thought of a woman he often encountered these days.
‘I mean, he’s a much more unusual person than the rumors say.’
She has strength beyond what you would expect from a noble daughter… … .
‘Take away the damn dragon heart that was stuck in this child’s heart right now!’
He has a rougher and more courageous personality than any other knight.
‘It’s also like the fact that I readily adopted a child I’ve never seen before.’
It certainly seemed like he was in trouble because of it. Elston remembered her fortress and the words she had muttered.
‘Money, money, money… … .’
It’s a secret that I was a little scared by the appearance as if he was reciting a curse spell.
‘It’s really scary sometimes.’
As I was completing my duties, there was no longer a wizard standing in front of me.
He headed to his room.
“It’s a new food. “Dazar is putting in quite an effort.”
Contrary to Celia’s thoughts, Elston had already realized that the food shortage had begun.
Arriving in a spacious room, Elston scratched his cheek and began drawing equations.
White light emanated from his hand, and a messenger in the shape of a small dove appeared.
“I guess I should go and tell the news. “That’s my role now.”
The pigeon seemed to understand the words and flew up cooing.
