I’m Going to Destroy this Country

Chapter 141 - The People of the Blue (5)



Everyone gulped at the family head’s words.

The head of the Eshua House.

What kind of position is that?

It’s the position of a Duke in the Empire, but the Five Major Families lead the Five Major Faiths.

The head of that, the Cardinal, is the leader of all priests and paladins who believe in the faith. In a sense, it means having military power superior to a country’s soldiers.

Moreover, if it’s the position of the head of Eshua, as those who exorcise demons, their value is even higher on the continent.

As soon as the word successor came out of the family head’s mouth, their eyes had to change.

The elders and council members had faces as if asking if he had finally decided.

“It took a long time.”

“You finally made up your mind!”

Originally, the position should have been succeeded several years ago.

However, Elai kept delaying the succession, saying ‘there is no one suitable’.

Noel let out a hollow laugh.

‘Well, he’s a great person, but it was reaching a limit.’

No matter how much Elai is said to be the strongest among the successive heads, he is old. It’s time to think about the family’s future.

That’s why Noel seemed to have inner expectations for the family head’s declaration. After all, there were only a limited number of people who could become the head of this family now.

As expected, the council members sent worried gazes.

“In the current state, the next head is actually Lilai or Noel.”

“Kaliya is outstanding in ability, but in that state…”

They clicked their tongues looking at Kaliya, who was dying.

Well, in the first place, Kaliya had no desire for the family head’s position.

In that sense, Lilai and Noel were the most likely, but Lilai suddenly changed his job from a rising priest to a paladin. The reason was to avenge his dead friend and chase the Skeleton King.

‘He’s so outstanding that it seems fine, but the difference between a priest and a paladin is too big…’

The difference in the divine techniques they learn is significant.

If a priest learns all divine techniques and pursues the extremes of divine techniques, a paladin only learns half of the divine techniques and devotes the rest to the sword.

He has been a paladin for 10 years, so can he perfectly learn the Cardinal’s vision?

In other words, it means the upper hand is with Noel.

Noel couldn’t help but laugh.

“This should have been done long ago! Because Father delayed the succession, the lower ones keep acting up, don’t they!”

“…!”

At Noel’s laughter, the council members narrowed their brows as if resentful.

‘I wished it wouldn’t continue with the Pope’s bloodline.’

‘Actually, Isaac would have been perfect.’

‘If only Isaac was born a little earlier.’

Noel seemed unable to hold back his laughter and covered his mouth.

“Well, it’s late, but it’s fine even now. I will properly discipline them.”

It goes without saying whose discipline he is talking about.

The other Eshua members had no choice but to frown.

‘Isaac, that guy is dead.’

As expected, Noel’s domineering gaze turned to Isaac.

“Well, thank you for your excellent decision, even if it’s late…”

But it was then.

“I never said I would give it to you.”

“…Pardon?”

For a moment, silence flowed.

Noel looked at the head with a startled face. The others also looked at the head as if puzzled.

“You’re not giving it to Noel…”

Soon, Noel’s sharp gaze, who noticed something, turned somewhere.

“Then, could it be that you’re saying you’ll give it to Lilai? To that guy who can’t even succeed in beating me?!”

At those words, the council members tried to tell him not to cross the line, but the one who took the lead was an unexpected person.

“Are you crazy, you bastard!”

“…?!”

“Who keeps calling your uncle impotent, you dog!”

Isaaaaac!

Everyone looked at Isaac as if shocked.

“Even if he’s impotent, there are proper things to say in front of people!”

Lilai actually fell silent and smiled brightly.

…Isaac? I appreciate it, but that’s not it.

And this uncle is not impotent, I said?

“Ah, I apologize. I got excited without knowing because Uncle was being insulted. I will reflect on it. And Uncle Noel, you bastard. If you keep insulting Uncle, next time I will make you the same.”

“…”

No, you bastard. It’s not a problem that can be solved by switching to honorifics?

Shuri trembled, and the others also looked at the family head with their mouths gaping, but Elai didn’t seem to care at all.

“Isaac, sit down.”

That’s it?!

“And fix your habit of speaking shortly.”

I don’t think that’s the problem right now!

Soon, the council members smiled.

“Master, you thought well. Lilai will also gladly accept the family head’s position…”

“No. It’s not Lilai either.”

What? It’s not him either?!

“Then who on earth are you giving the family head’s position to…”

Soon, the head’s eyes flashed.

“From today, I will abolish giving the successor’s authority only to the higher ranks.”

…What?

“In other words, the successor position includes even grandsons and granddaughters.”

What the hell?!

You’re ignoring the higher ranks and giving qualifications to the greenhorns too?

Noel urgently stood up.

“Of course, you mean they will go through us first, right? After going through us, the next…”

“No.”

“Pardon?”

The family head glanced at Isaac.

“Yes, to explain it simply, it means Isaac can directly become the next family head.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Isaac grinned.

Yes, as expected of Grandpa!

This is how it should be!

That’s because although he knew Grandpa acknowledged him, he couldn’t have high expectations since it was such a conservative position.

So the most realistic plan was for Lilai to become the next family head and for him to become his adopted son, but there were many uncertain factors.

But if it’s like this, it’s very ideal.

As expected, it was worth making a contract with the Supreme God!

[No, it wasn’t Master who made the contract.]

Haha, as expected, everything is according to my plan!

[No, it’s not according to your plan!!]

But there was no way there wouldn’t be opposition to the family head’s words.

“Father! That guy is 11 years old! How can the youngest one surpass the uncles!”

“There’s no law saying he can’t, right? There was also the youngest Cardinal at 16.”

Noel was dumbfounded.

You can’t treat that the same now!

“That’s because all the higher ranks d- no, there was no one to succeed, so it turned out that way!”

Above all, the head’s position goes to Isaac?

Do I have to take orders from that little kid?

“What’s the problem? I’m saying I will give an opportunity to those who are qualified.”

Opportunity? Is this really an opportunity?

“If you use the 9th level vision and are acknowledged by the Blue god first, you can become the family head even if you’re the youngest.”

Then Noel snorted even more indignantly.

“A mere 11-year-old kid reaches the 9th rank? Are you thinking of giving up the head’s position in maybe 20 years?!”

“There was also an 11-year-old Saint. It’s not impossible to become a Cardinal at 11?”

“What?!”

The family head looked at Isaac.

If his eyes weren’t mistaken, Isaac would definitely reach the 9th rank before becoming an adult.

“I can still go on for 5 more years.”

Noel, no, the faces of the adults who noticed Father’s intention were a sight to behold.

‘…This is actually saying he will make Isaac the family head!’

At Noel’s gaze, Isaac grinned as usual.

The kid will cry.

It’s frustrating, so do it a bit more.

* * *

“I didn’t expect the head to come out like that.”

Eshua was turned upside down.

“If it’s the grandchildren, their age is close to twenty, isn’t it?”

“Even if it seems a bit early considering the vision inheritance period, it’s appropriate. Because at worst, you can give it to the higher ranks.”

“Ah, so that’s why he deliberately mentioned the time of 5 years.”

However, only Benjamin denied people’s words. As Eshua’s top brain, he immediately grasped the family head’s intention.

‘Opportunity? No, Father actually said he would put Isaac up.’

The other adults present would have also grasped that intention.

‘Father means he will wait for Isaac, but…’

Nevertheless, the other Eshua members weren’t easy either.

First of all, the Pope’s bloodline side, who noticed the family head’s intention, couldn’t stay still, and if it came down to the grandchildren’s ranks, they were all outstanding.

There is no law saying a Saint can’t become the family head, so all the more so.

‘Well, for me, I have the highest expectations for Isaac.’

However, Benjamin didn’t particularly show it.

It was because he didn’t want the talented Isaac to become arrogant by interpreting the family head’s intention.

‘Isaac is still young.’

Of course, in reality, he is hundreds of times older than Benjamin and an old fogey.

‘Yes. A talented child shouldn’t go down the wrong path.’

He has already gone down the wrong path to the point of no return, the Skeleton Demon King.

“Anyway, being acknowledged by the Blue god is a condition to become the family head.”

At those words, Whisper clicked his tongue, saying Master, you’re in big trouble now.

[According to those words, Master is doomed.]

‘Why me?’

[Because the Blue gods only answer to those who are faithful… Even if you’re an Eshua person, Master is…]

‘So what? What’s wrong with me?’

[Haah. Anyway, to be acknowledged by the Blue god, you’ll have to be faithful to the Blue doctrine, so Master will also have to pray to the god… The family head used his brain a bit.]

But at those words, Isaac laughed.

‘Why do I need to learn the doctrine?’

[What?]

The acknowledgment of the Blue god?

Didn’t Kim Shuri make a contract with the Blue’s main god!

‘If I call the God of Light and make him submit, that measly head position!’

[As if the God of Light will acknowledge you…]

If you don’t want to see Eshua perish, tell them to acknowledge me as the head!

[…Isn’t that a threat?]

‘The God of Light is kind, so one request is fine.’

[No matter how I think about it, it’s a threat?!]

Well, I also have a debt to collect from the God of Light.

But it was then.

“To become the family head, you just need to be acknowledged by the ‘Blue god’, right?”

“…!”

At the unfamiliar voice, Isaac’s head turned fiercely.

There stood a silver-haired adult man.

For some reason, Shuri flinched at his appearance.

“Are you Isaac? The one who taught Shuri.”

“…?”

“Nice to meet you, I’m your cousin Joseph. Shuri has also grown a lot since I last saw him?”

“…”

Isaac looked at him with distaste at Shuri’s reaction of avoiding his gaze.

What the hell, what’s with this bastard?

What’s with Kim Shuri having this reaction?

Come to think of it, only this bastard was missing. When I blew away Noel.

“I’m so happy that Grandfather gave the successor authority to us as well. Right, Shuri?”

…Look at this bastard?

It’s somewhat ominous, but that wasn’t the important thing. Joseph put his arm around Shuri’s shoulder as if he had business with him.

“Shuri, you said you made a contract with the God of Light? Call your god. I need to be acknowledged by the Blue god.”

“What? But what Grandfather said…”

“You’re not trying to say it’s a trick, are you? If you’re a rolling stone, you should be helpful to Eshua on your own. Ah, come to think of it, it’s good for you too, being able to aim for Eshua’s family head position with brown hair.”

Shuri flinched.

Watching that, Isaac let out a long sigh.

Ha, some bastard who rolled in from who knows where is interfering.

At Isaac’s sign, Shuri, who was with Joseph, flinched.

That’s because Isaac was taking out the rattle from his arms… No. Stop! No more rattle!

At that, Isaac smiled brightly.

‘Yeah. Don’t worry, I’ve matured too. I should stop using the rattle now.’

He changed the shape of the rattle.

It was a viciously shaped whip.

“Ha, I tried to hold back.”

Blue bastards, I’ll train you.

“I’ll beat you until you come to your senses.”

Shuri’s face stiffened.

…No, the rattle would be better.
