Chapter 85 – Caesar Orphan
The beastly female character representing Heroes Chronicle 2 was not Cordelia.
The original Cordelia was a pure and delicate girl who had nothing to do with words like beast or wild.
Caesar Orphan.
The true beast woman of Heroes Chronicle 2.
Wild horses of the South.
Wolf of the sea.
The beheading witch.
The monster of Ofund.
The title of “the daughter of a noble family” was a harsh word for a teenage girl, but those around her, and even Kaisa herself, could not deny these nicknames. No, they were more like accepting them and enjoying them.
“It’s all true.”
The Orphans, one of the Seven Southern Houses, have sacred blood flowing through them, just like the royal family and the Twelve Northern Houses, that comes from ancient beings.
The problem, however, was that the being that started the blood was not an ordinary angel or god, but a beast.
The greedy Fenrir.
An ancient being originally a demon born in hell, but was reborn as a divine beast after being inspired by the nobility of the sun god Solari.
The divine beast Fenrir shared a love that transcended race with Saint Sophia Orphan, who belonged to the Solari Order, and had many children. The current Orphan family can be said to be Fenrir’s descendants.
Of course, Fenrir was not just a simple wolf, as he was an ancient being, and a divine beast at that.
Lycanslope Road.
The King of the Werewolves.
In any case, in the Orphan family, which has inherited the blood of the divine beast, there are times when, thanks to the atavistic inheritance that occurs, beings born with powers or abilities that are unimaginable to ordinary humans are born.
“This time, the story is that it was Caesar.”
Caesar’s abilities were very simple and straightforward.
Strong body.
Physical abilities that transcend human limits.
Among the eleven playable characters in Heroes of War 2, Kai’Sa was the strongest, and also the most agile.
“Because your body is so strong, you won’t get sick, and even poison won’t work on you.”
A body of steel, indeed.
Of course, that doesn’t mean that his skin was made of iron or that he could block swords with his hands and feet like Uther, but it was true that he had incredible detoxification abilities and zombie-like durability.
“Kaisa’s only weakness is her stamina.”
The reason why Kaisa was called a three-minute cook or a precook in the biographies of heroes was simple.
This is because the body, unable to handle the explosive physical ability, quickly collapsed.
“It feels like a sports car with incredible engine output but poor cost-effectiveness?”
Once she started to rampage, she was a beast in and of herself, but her energy drain was so great that Kai’Sa could only fight at full strength for about three minutes at most.
If anything went too far, Kaisa would literally become incapacitated from fighting due to intense hunger.
“Of course, if you fight sparingly and without giving it your all, you can last longer.”
In any case, as a trained warrior with great physical abilities, Kaisa had good basic physical strength.
“It just has incredibly poor fuel economy.”
Anyway, that’s Caesar.
The beast woman in charge of the wild in Heroes Chronicles 2.
A hunting dog of the Orphan family that hunts pirates with its black hair fluttering.
Now it was time to face her.
&
Two days after leaving the Abbey of St. Croix.
Cordelia had a sullen expression on her face.
‘it’s annoying.’
It wasn’t that I was tired from riding a horse for a long time.
Despite being a high-level wizard, Cordelia had stamina that was superior to that of ordinary knights.
‘it’s annoying.’
Homelessness wasn’t that hard.
After I regained my memories of my past life, the number of days I slept on the street was similar to the number of days I slept in bed.
Compared to the wilderness where people had to sleep in snowy fields or in narrow crevices between rocks during blizzards, today’s sleeping outdoors is no different from staying in a five-star hotel.
‘it’s annoying.’
Still, I was annoyed.
I could tolerate Manuel’s endless babbling next to me. If I just listened quietly, it was actually kind of fun.
Carmen’s bragging about her daughter and husband was no problem either.
This was also satisfying because I could naturally brag about my talents.
meal?
Whether you make two servings or eleven, a yandere is a yandere.
The quality of the food was also satisfactory.
‘it’s annoying.’
Bed, meals, and companions.
Of the three elements of the trip, there was not a single one that I was dissatisfied with.
But despite that, Cordelia just kept grumbling with her lips sticking out.
Because I didn’t have time.
Because there was no such thing as time alone with Yuder!
‘Mr. Woo.’
For now, the group was heading south in a hurry.
That is, there was almost no time to relax in between.
Of course, they stopped several times a day to rest their horses, but since it was more like a short break during the march, the group always stayed together in one place.
‘Ugh.’
Two, Manuel and Carmen were oblivious.
There was no consideration to create time for just the two of them like Dahlia and Maia did.
Manuel was always chasing Cordelia around, calling her an angel, and Carmen, unlike most women, was not very interested in Cordelia’s love life with Uder.
No, he just really liked bragging about his daughter.
‘Eek.’
It was difficult to even plan a night watch time.
The number of members sent by the Holy Cross Guardians on this mission is, as always, nine.
Because it was nine, the night watch order didn’t come around properly.
In the first place, I didn’t even intend to give night watch to Uderna or Cordelia.
‘Ugh.’
In fact, it wasn’t necessarily necessary to have time for just the two of them.
It wasn’t like there was anything special that had to be done just the two of us.
But what should I say?
But what should I say?
‘Ugh.’
It’s embarrassing to even imagine, let alone say it out loud.
Anyway, what should I say?
Should I say that I want to do that?
There’s that, that.
When I do that, my heart starts pounding and I feel good and my mind gets warm!
“Whoa.”
It would be nice if we could ride together.
Why did the Holy Cross Guardians prepare one person, one word? Are there so many words? Was it really necessary to do so?
But it was at that very moment.
[Cordelia.]
[Huh? Huh! Yeah!]
Cordelia, who was blushing at the magic of Uther’s message, coughed in vain and then pretended to calm down.
He looked back at Yuder with an indifferent face.
[Why? What’s going on?]
[Strangely welcoming?]
[No? It’s just the same as usual? It’s not like you’re welcoming me?]
Uther narrowed his eyes at Cordelia’s protest, but soon nodded.
[I guess we can take more acting lessons later.]
[hey?]
[Anyway, I think it’s time to split up now.]
[Go, split?]
[Oh, because our goals are different anyway. Carmen and Manuel are going to go find Kamael, and our goals are different, right?]
Cordelia, who was startled for a moment by the words “let’s break up,” sighed in relief and nodded.
[Yes, our goal is the emblem of the Seven Southern Clans.]
The seven southern families.
Seven clans that, like the twelve clans in the North, hold sway in the South.
However, there was a big difference between the seven southern families and the twelve northern families.
While the twelve northern families competed with each other but never went to the extent of bloodshed, the seven southern families found it even stranger if they met each other and did not shed blood.
A fight once a month, a duel once a year.
Of course, they didn’t really fight that often, but the Southern Seven Clans were known to fight each other so much that such rumors would spread.
Surprisingly, these seven southern clans were once united under one flag.
Dragon Slayer Carlos.
A great hero of the South who stands shoulder to shoulder with Lion D. Seilun, the founding king of the Seilun Kingdom and an unparalleled hero.
In the past, he unified the South and had seven vassals, and these are the seven southern families of today.
Even though they were under the rule of the Kingdom of Cailun, the people of the South still considered Dragon Slayer Carlos to be their true king, and the Seven Southern Clans were no exception.
“Whoever inherits my holy water will be your master.”
Dragon Slayer Carlos, who was on the verge of death, suddenly disappeared after saying those words, and from then on, the seven southern families began a bloody fight over Carlos’ successor.
[As you know, Carlos left clues for each of the seven Southern Families, right?]
[Yeah! So if we collect all seven clues, we’ll find the hidden location of the sacred item Carlos left behind?]
[That’s right, but the seven southern families were too busy fighting each other to share information… and so for nearly three hundred years, no successor to Carlos emerged.]
I could tell just from what I said up to here.
In fact, this was a conversation that had already been had in the royal capital.
The reason Scarlett was sent to the South.
[Is this when the Pink Bomb thief comes out?]
[That’s right.]
Collect clues by raiding the seven southern houses with Scarlett.
If it’s a match where the Log Master position is at stake, Scarlett will work hard too.
[You are a really good friend.]
[I know.]
Uther and Cordelia looked at each other and laughed, and Uther continued speaking.
[To fight the black dragon Malekith, we must unite the power of the South. To do that, we need absolute authority.]
[Three hundred years have passed, but will the Seven Southern Houses still obey just because they have Carlos’s sign?]
[I will. In the South, Carlos is a god-like being.]
Moreover, if there is a specific threat like Malekith, then they will join hands for now.
[Anyway, there’s a place we should stop by for some prep work. Do you know where it is?]
[Wait, wait. Let me think about it.]
Cordelia quickly raised her hand to stop Uther, then began to groan, then clapped her hands together so loudly that she sent a message magic.
[Okay! You mean Caesar?]
[Correct answer.]
In any case, there had to be at least one hill to climb in the south.
Moreover, since Kaisa was a playable character, it was necessary to become friendly with her.
[To begin with, we know very little about the South. The only playable character in the South is Kai’Sa, and even that was a scenario where she escaped from the South to avoid Malekith’s attack not long after the game started.]
In other words, in order to properly raid the Southern Seven Clans, the presence of local collaborators who knew the other Southern Seven Clans well was absolutely necessary.
[Yeah, okay. Okay. So, since I have to go meet Caesar, I have to leave Carmen, Manuel, and the members of the Holy Cross Defenders?]
[Oh, that’s it. But you look strangely happy?]
[No? It’s just ordinary? Rather, it’s a pity?]
As Cordelia spoke excitedly, Uther narrowed his eyes again, but did not press the question further.
[Anyway, I think I’ll get ripped off at the next fork in the road. By now, Caesar will be using Squirrel as a base to hunt pirates.]
Daram, one of the port cities in the south.
Carmen’s party was currently heading to Vardos, the largest trading port in the south and a royal territory, so they had to split up here, as Yuder had said.
[Ha, I can’t help it. I have to leave here. Yeah, really. I can’t help it. I can’t help it.]
Cordelia surprisingly used message magic to read the Korean language book, and Uder tried to suppress his laughter before speaking.
“Everyone is here. Let me talk.”
“huh!”
And about 10 minutes later.
Uther spoke to Cordelia with narrowed eyes.
“Excuse me, Count.”
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
“Why are we silent?”
“Because I returned it to Carmen?”
“Why?”
“Well, there is a strong horse here.”
Cordelia tilted her head as if she didn’t know, and Uther ended up laughing.
“If you carry me and run, I’ll be really noticeable.”
“Do what you want. You’re good at that.”
“Yes, yes, I understand.”
If you really want to get carried away.
After handing over his luggage to Cordelia, Uther turned around, and Cordelia, who was excited, quickly put her luggage on her back and climbed onto Uther’s back.
“The smell of milk.”
“huh?”
“Oh, no. Yeah. Let’s go quickly.”
Cordelia, who had been bashfully mumbling, buried her face in the nape of Uther’s neck and smiled silently.
“Anyway, let’s go. Hold on tight.”
“yes.”
Cordelia, who answered nicely, sniffed once and hugged Uther’s body a little tighter. Uther picked Cordelia up and kicked the ground.
And two hours later.
What awaited Uther and Cordelia upon their arrival at the port city of Squirrel was not Caesar, but an unexpected event.
