"...... hmm. We will train new mercenaries by next spring. That's not a lot of time.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Is it too difficult even for Elvis, who is known as the devil of training?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

No, no, I am not an ogre at all. I was much tougher than Byte-sama's training. But, yes. I don't think we have enough time at all.

　In the Orient, we have obtained permission from Banagher to transform the village of Barca into a new Barca town.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Once I returned to Barka village to tell them about it, I also explained to them about the military exercises.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But when Elvis heard that, he said.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Time is running out by a long shot.

"It's not even fall yet. So, can't we just rush to get as many people as we can accept and train them now?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"That would be difficult, Master Alphonse. Perhaps we haven't gotten around to it. It takes time to train new recruits. And now we are using mercenaries for the construction of this village of Barca. They are making magic tools, earning money, and preparing to accept new immigrants. I don't have the time to deal with newcomers.

　Elvis gives me a good argument when I say, "Is it really so difficult?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I know, right?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Maybe we could have trained in a more respectable way if we had been prepared to accept them.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But now Elvis, who is even called the devil of training, is supervising the construction site.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It was obvious that he would not be able to handle it.

"But didn't Alphonse-sama know that much when he heard what Banagher-sama said?　Perhaps you have a plan?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Well, yeah. I have an idea. Just, you know, ......."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"...... Just, what do you mean?　What is it?"

"Hmmm. Well, I guess Elvis will do. I'm only saying this because I trust Elvis enough to follow me all the way out here. I've been thinking about doing something a little less impressive, something that's kind of hard to talk about.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Elvis is right, of course, and I know that time is short.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Right now, Barka village is undergoing construction in various places with the help of women and children as well as mercenaries.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Under such circumstances, it is difficult to accept new people and build up a coherent mercenary group under my leadership.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I was well aware of that.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But even so, I accepted it and said I could do it after discussing it with Banagher.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　That was because there was a way to make it happen.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The only problem was that this method was something that was difficult to tell people.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　When I said that in a difficult way, Elvis answered.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Don't worry. Since I was under Ars and Byte, I have been accustomed to the sudden outbursts of outrageous things by those who are called the Barka brothers. More than that, your word that you have such trust in me makes me feel as if I were in heaven. I am open to any thoughts you may have. Please feel free to share your thoughts with me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Thank you, Elvis. Okay, I'll say it. I'm thinking of setting up a system whereby the mercenaries, or rather all the inhabitants of the new Barca town we're building, will be forcibly punished if they don't abide by the rules.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Isn't ...... good?　That's about as normal as it gets. You mean like the law in this city?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"No, it's not. No. A rule might as well be a law. But the question is how to punish. If they don't follow the rules, I'm thinking of inflicting pain like having your heart grabbed at that very moment, or some other physical method.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Heart?　I'm not sure. How do you plan to do it?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I'm going to implant my blood in the bodies of immigrants in the new city."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"...... blood?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes. My blood is special. The Norns, the fresh-blooded soldiers, were created from my blood and operate independently. I am going to use this to my advantage. Specifically, I will put my blood in the bodies of immigrants and interfere with their heartbeat if they don't follow the rules."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Can you do that?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes, I can. In fact, I've tried it before with Mee's body."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He will lead the mercenaries in a short time.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The key to achieving this is to get them to listen to us, no matter what we say.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　And I have a way to do that.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The way I described to Elvis.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　In other words, to put the Norn inside the body of the immigrant.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The idea itself has been around for a while.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It started with the relationship between Mitya and Hannah.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Mitya is an ancestor of mixed blood with beastmen, and his blood has affected his body.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The solution to this problem was to replace Mitya's blood with Hannah's blood.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　As a result, Hannah was able to use flames, probably due to the influence of Mitya's blood.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　When I heard this story, I thought to myself.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I wondered what would happen if I put my blood into Hannah or Mitya.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I checked with Norn and he said that it is possible.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Apparently, my blood type does not clump easily when mixed with other people's blood, so it is possible to put my blood into a person's body.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　And I have actually tried it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　However, I can't replace all the blood in my body like Hannah and others.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I would put a little bit of my blood in Mitya's body.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　As a result, Mitya did not awaken to any new magic, but I discovered something new.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It turns out that my blood can interfere with other people's bodies.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Well, not quite.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It is not so much me, but rather the norns in my blood that affect the person whose blood has been put into my body.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Later on, with the help of Mitya, a magic trick was completed.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Blood Wedge.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It is a spell to implant my blood in the body of the opponent.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　My blood can then clamp down on the heart of the subject.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　In other words, there is a spell that can literally hold the heart of the opponent.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I see. I see. I didn't know such a thing existed until now.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Well, as expected. It's hard to say. Even Elvis wouldn't like it. Always having your heart in someone else's hand.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

No, it's not like that. A blood wedge, huh? That's good. This whole village of Barca belongs to Master Alphonse. It's only natural that we obey him. If you cannot accept the blood wedge, then you should not live here. By all means, let's use its power.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I don't know if that's a good idea.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　After all, I don't think this blood wedge is a very impressive magic.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But Elvis gave me his full approval.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I guess it's okay then.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Well, okay.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　As Elvis said, if I don't like it, I don't have to live here.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Thus, my worries disappeared after I talked to Elvis.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It was decided that from now on, everyone who would live in the new Barca town would be forced to have my blood implanted in them.
