Barbarian

"But to be on the safe side, it is still advisable for you to rest for a while. Avoid pursuing a career in law or getting involved with matters related to the firm. Instead, utilize this time to increase your knowledge," Bird Mustang advised, pointing towards the cluttered books on the desk. "Start learning from scratch, find another place to study close-quarters combat and shooting."

"Initially, it may seem challenging. You can wait until you become more experienced in close combat before delving deeper into your studies."

After agreeing, Rawls inquired, "Could you enlighten me about the abilities of a 'barbarian'?"

"The term 'barbarian' implies tremendous power, making your body stronger, endowing you with combat and recovery abilities beyond that of ordinary individuals, and strengthening your spirit. You can think of it as a more formidable and savage version of Feysac, or even envision yourself embodying such qualities when you role-play."

The Feysac Empire, situated in the north of the Northern Continent, is a formidable nation that reveres the god of war. They proudly claim that their citizens possess giant blood. Over 700 years ago, a war known as the 'Twenty Years War' took place between the Loen Kingdom and the Feysac Empire. Ultimately, the Loen Kingdom was defeated, leading to the concession of Sonya Island, which remains under Feysac's control to this day. The Feysac people are generally tall and fierce, earning them the label of 'savages' from the conservative Loen population.

However, it is worth noting that almost all Feysac individuals belong to the 'warrior' sequence. Thus, if I were to pursue this path, where could I possibly encounter Feysac people? I am currently in Loen, specifically the capital city of Backlund, and Feysac doesn't even have an embassy here!

The relationship between the Loen Kingdom and the Feysac Empire is strained, resulting in frequent clashes between the two nations. While both sides exercise restraint in the border regions, conflicts persist in the Loen colony, particularly along the eastern Balam coast of the southern continent.

Unless the ruins of Tudor at No. 8 Williams Street next door appear and Raft Pound, possessed by the 'Sauron Einhorn Medici Spirit,' brings people from the Feysac Empire and the Republic of Intis, it seems unlikely to encounter Feysac individuals. However, instead of waiting for that moment, Rawls could consider finding a reason to visit the Feysac Empire or embark on a sea adventure.

Rawls recalls that the only Feysac person he knows of is Bishop Utravsky from the Earth Mother Church, although he has been "domesticated" by Earth Mother . It is uncertain if scolding him would have any effect. Moreover, Bishop Utravsky is a favored individual, and Rawls wouldn't dare approach him without first understanding the situation.

Bird Mustang retrieves a golden pocket watch from his pocket, adorned with intricate engravings, and opens it:

"It's eight o'clock. I must leave as well."

"Ah? Won't you stay for a little longer?"

Bird Mustang waves his hand and replies, "I don't have the time. My original intention was just to take a peek. If you're fine, you should leave too. However, upon arriving here, I discovered that you had entered the secret room before I could meet you."

Pausing momentarily, he continues, "As for your inquiries regarding the construction of ironclad ships in the Loen Kingdom, you don't need to deliberately seek information about them."

When Rawls heard "Horror Viscount " mention the ironclad, his heart clenched with apprehension, but he quickly regained his composure and replied, "Okay."

"But there is another matter you should be mindful of. You should pay close attention to anything related to Emperor Roselle, especially his belongings. If you come across anything significant, contact me through Ken."

"No problem."

"Don't worry too much; this task was assigned a long time ago."

Nast should be searching for the "Dark Emperor" card, but unfortunately, it will take some time until the "Roselle Memorial Exhibition" is held at the Kingdom Museum. Should I retrieve it then, or wait for Klein to acquire it?

While pondering this, Rawls heard a "squeak" sound. He looked up and saw that "Horror Viscount " had vanished, the door to the secret room had opened, and the invisible seal that had closed it had dissipated.

Rawls descended the steep stairs from the secret room, finding himself alone.

"He left so quickly!"

As he gazed at the night sky, only a blood-red moon hung high, accompanied by a few scattered stars. Thinking about the horrors of the "Moon," Rawls shivered and hastened toward his bedroom.

Judging by the moon's phase, tomorrow and the day after would be a full moon, and the Moon Mass would be held at the Saint Samuel Cathedral of the Goddess. I'll inquire about it tomorrow, and I must attend.

The Church of the Evernight Goddess doesn't have many special occasions. The most important one is the Winter Ceremony, followed by the Mass during the full moon, known as the Moon Mass. Regular Mass and prayers are also held every Sunday. However, different dioceses and cathedrals may have their unique special occasions based on their guardian saints or angels.

...

After changing into his nightgown, Rawls lazily leaned against the railing at the head of his bed. This bed was imported from Intis, costing 130 pounds, plus shipping.

The bed's main structure resembled a boat, adorned with asymmetrical decorative details on the frame. It was supported by upright columns, bearing a heavy canopy adorned with pleats, fringes, and tassels. A long curtain hung from beneath it, trailing all the way to the floor. With its thick upholstery and velvet quilt, it offered Rawls a truly regal experience.

Rawls speculated that the asymmetrical decorations were likely influenced by Roselle. After all, becoming the "Dark Emperor" required strict adherence to complex rules contrary to normal conditions. Even architectural styles were part of the equation, so it was not surprising for the furniture to reflect that influence.

Although this style might be rare now, traces of its influence still remained. Even in the current republican Intis, he couldn't simply erase everything associated with Roselle, the "Dark Emperor." The impact of transmigrators couldn't be easily eliminated.

However, as a Beyonder on the "lawyer" path, what would be the future of his promotion? Should he change his path? Both the "Judge" and the "Dark Emperor" were linked to establishing order, and Rawls was neither royalty nor an aristocrat. What should he do? He could only hope that the promotion ceremony for Sequence 2 in both paths wouldn't be too challenging!

What were the Sequence 2 titles for both paths? It seemed to be the "Balancer" and the "Duke of Entropy." Just hearing the names indicated that completing the ceremonies would be extremely difficult!

"Grumbling."

Rawls felt hunger rumbling in his chest and abdomen. "Damn, I haven't eaten yet!"
