Does the mechanical girl dream of the Messiah?

Sprint, sprint, Lunicia was focused and just thrust forward with one arm, sprinting towards the city wall!

“…No no no no no no…”

Pure and flawless light wrapped around Lunicia's body, and the orange-red flames were not to be outdone. Together with the ever-expanding holy light, they surrounded Lunicia, her legs, her waist, her face, her only remaining right arm, and her silver-white sword "The Avenger".

It was as if someone's hand was placed together with Lunicia's, and they shouted out that syllable together.

"【Supreme Slash】."

"--No----------!!!!!!!"

Accompanied by roars, impacts and strong winds, Lunisia kept the tip of the sword leaning forward, and crashed into the Wall of Erumu together with the body of the Great Lich, allowing the exploding pure light to illuminate the entire chalk wall!

Chapter 36 The Final March

"Alexis, do you know what your name means?"

"No... Mother, I don't know."

"Well, then I'll tell you - listen carefully, Alexis is a famous hero in the history of the Kingdom of Nasaran. He quelled the civil strife in the north and restored the kingdom that was almost divided... I gave you this name so that you can inherit Alexis' spirit and reunite the Kingdom of Nasaran. Do you understand?"

"I……"

"I don't want to hear a hesitant answer."

"...Yes, I will definitely do it."

"That's right. How's your spell study going?"

"Mr. Moral has been teaching me."

"I don't want to hear about Mr. Morar. Listen carefully, Nasaland is a magical country, and everyone in Nasaland is a great wizard. Not only will you become a citizen of Nasaland in the future, but you will also be the one who will reunify the Kingdom of Nasaland. How can you do that if you can't even use magic well?"

"But, mother, magic is really difficult to learn..."

"Did I give you permission to speak?"

"..."

"You can't learn magic at the age of seven? If you were a citizen of Nasaran, you would have been a great wizard who could stand on your own at the age of seven! What's the situation now? Answer me quickly, how is your magic learning going? Don't make me ask for the third time."

"I... can now use first-level spells..."

"What about second-level spells?"

"Still...still teaching, for now..."

"Then you only have one tour left. When the next tour begins, which is six days from now..."

"..."

"If you still can't use a second level spell, I'll cut off one of your fingers."

"..."

"Don't worry, I will preserve the severed finger with an antiseptic potion, and when you have learned how to do it, I will reattach it to you. You can't keep delaying it. Each round will be counted as one. You understand what I mean."

"...Yes, I understand."

"very good."

……

"Alexis."

"Yes, father, I am listening."

"Do you know why?"

"..."

"Do you know why you can only eat the edges of bread, eat moldy wheat flour, and drink muddy water? Do you know why we can only eat these, no meat, no vegetables, no white bread?"

"……do not know."

"You should ask those who occupied the palace, ask those thieves named 'Ivanov', where the meat they ate, the red wine they drank, and the gold coins they scattered on prayer days came from. Listen carefully, Alexis, we should have lived a rich life, because we are the people of Nasarlan, our magic is omnipotent, we can make the frozen soil sprout, and make the stone walls bear fruits, so that no one will eat soil, mud, and garbage because of lack of food."

"Yes……"

"Alexis."

"Yes, father, I am listening."

"Do you know why your sister got sick and had a tumor in her intestines, but we couldn't do anything? She vomited blood and died. We have to sell her body like wild venison to exchange for a few days' food money? If she were still alive, she would definitely bring more benefits to 'Natya's Legacy'. Do you know why we have to do such a big loss?"

"do not know……"

"You should ask those who occupied the palace, ask those thieves with the surname 'Ivanov'. When they are sick, not only are there royal doctors to treat them, but they can also spend a lot of money to buy all kinds of potions from abroad. Even if they know nothing about potions, can't tell the difference between dragon bone vine and fish knot grass, can't stir or mix the medicine, they can still enjoy those potions, and those should be what we can enjoy too, because we are the people of Nasaran. Nasaran is rich in potions, and every wizard in Nasaran is also a potion master. Listen carefully, Alexis, you must learn how to make potions. That is the skill that a qualified Nasaran citizen should have."

"Yes, Father."

"Very good, very good, Alexis, have you completed the enlistment paperwork?"

"Not yet, Father."

"Then you will come with me tomorrow to meet your predecessors. They are all loyal subjects who care about their homeland and are also your good teachers. You must also become the pillar of 'Natya's Legacy'."

"Yes, father, I will definitely not let you down."

"Not disappointed I'm disappointed, Alexis."

"..."

"Everyone gets disappointed, Alexis."

……

"You must not be lenient with traitors, Alexis. The hero with the same name as you has personally executed more than a hundred traitors, and everyone cheered for him. Do you understand, Alexis?"

"Yes, Mother."

……

"You need to understand economics, Alexis. Economics, politics, and you also need to learn a lot of cultural courses. Alexis, the Kingdom of Nasaland has at least three official languages, as well as their minority languages. If you can't learn these, you are not a qualified Nasaland citizen and cannot inherit the 'legacy'."

"Yes, Father."

……

"You are a wizard, Alexis. Can you cast third-level spells?"

"I just learned it last tour."

"Well, you should understand now that a wizard cannot just cast spells. Do you understand, Alexis?"

"Yes, Mother."

……

"You slept for more than six hours yesterday."

"Yes, Father."

"too long."

"It's...father."

"A qualified Nasaran citizen would not slack off like this when things are not done."

"But...you drank yesterday and slept for twelve hours."

"I'm not like you. And I'm disappointed in you for talking like that, Alexis."

"..."

……

"To stab the enemy in the neck, you understand, Alexis."

"..."

……

"Not everyone can be trusted, Alexis."

"..."

……

"We need to recover the Nasaran Kingdom and achieve reunification. Do you hear me, Alexis?"

"..."

……

"Be a Nasaran citizen who will not let anyone down, Alexis. You won't let us down, right?"

"..."

……

Snapped--!

"…What are you…doing?"

"No... this... Alexis..."

"what……"

"What is this? A broken glass bottle... What's in it...?"

"Listen to me, Alexis, you..."

"'Avine Ida', 'Fairy Light', 'Gale'... a powerful hallucinogenic potion... addictive... tablets... liquid... what else... what else...? Refining furnace, pot... this is, an account book? Sold... profit..."

"Wait, wait, come on Alexis, these..."

"Ah...ah...oars...clack...moon?..."

"Hallucinogenic potions... are the result of the degradation of potion technology... are the product of the abuse of potion knowledge... are addicted to these things, and sell them in 'Natya's Legacy'... what is this? This is the court treasurer, the head chef... and the people around the traitor 'Ivanov', and they are also selling hallucinogenic drugs to them...?"

"No, Alexis—"

boom--!

"Ahh... the door--uh, uh... what's wrong...? Who?"

"The door is closed, wait a minute, I—"

Squeak——Ah————

“Is that so…Is that so…I see, you are…”

"Calm down, Alexis, why are you holding that thing—"

"You're lurking around me... Lurking around me, a person who has the hope of restoring my country... You want to corrupt me, you want me to betray you, right? Betray 'Nathya's legacy', betray 'Nathalan Kingdom', betray 'my identity as a citizen'... I see, you are..."

"Don't come over here...Don't come over here Alexis, can't you hear me! Don't come over here! Don't come any closer! Put down the sword!"

"Alexis! Child, you! ..."

puff--

"traitor!"

"ah----!!!"

puff----

"Traitor! Betrayer!"

puff------

"Die!"

"Die!!!"

“Die!!!!!”
