The World: creating the peace

Fedfrosl: I see you've been listening, right? Since that's the case, Smer, cure me. Otherwise I won't be able to breathe anymore. Blood flows into the lungs.

"The Supreme Lich created a circle under the Fedfrost, summoning from where the tentacles appeared. They dug into Fedfros's body. The summoning circle appeared again, from where the dark fairies appeared. They were constantly laughing, although they didn't even have a mouth visible, only completely white eyes in the shape of a circle. They waved their chopsticks and pollen fell on Fedfros's body, almost immediately the body recovered. The fairies disappeared, and the tentacles dug into the body again and splashed the blood back out."

Belias: I understand what these tentacles are, but fairies. What's wrong with them?

Smer: Ha, I completely forgot. This is. Damn, I really forgot. Sir, remind me?

Fedfrosl: Kha.

"Blood flowed from Fedfros's mouth."

Fedfrosl: Ahem. The blood circulation seems to be normal. These are the fairies of darkness and the kingdom of time. They themselves are the spirits of time that have possessed the fairies of darkness. They're terribly angry until you feed them dark powder.

Belias: What kind of powder is this?

Fedfosl: Any dark powder. Gunpowder, coal, pepper. They draw energy from the powder, and it turns into something. We still haven't figured it out. In general, the by-product is used to fertilize the same pepper. By the way, Smer, are you monitoring the productivity of skeletons on the farm?

Smer: Of course, the body of that man is there now.

Fedfrosl: I see. What did you want to say to the Faceless One?

Smer: Lord rulers. I have already told Belias a little, but now I will tell you everything at once. Faceless, as we know, your cognitive abilities are not working. You can't talk, you can't see. At the same time, you have a lot of different mana. Don't you have any thoughts already at this point?

Belias: Use mana as a catalyst to speak and see. To read vibrations and...

Smer: No.

Fedfrosl: What's wrong? Isn't it normal the way it is?

Smer: I don't think so. Think for yourself. He has to touch someone to have a dialogue. Constantly feel the mana in order to see, albeit approximately. How can it be convenient?

Fedfrosl: It makes sense.

Smer: Okay, I'm telling you. Yes, we need a catalyst, but not what you meant, Belias. We need to sew or fuse those same catalysts with the body of the Faceless One. This is the only good idea that came to mind, but I do not know how to do it.

"The Faceless One got up and walked over to Smer, put his hand on his bald skull."

Faceless: I know some information on this topic. The next brother I'm going to is fully connected with technology. Also, I want to add that the insertion of implants is not a very good idea. My regeneration will be faster than your hands. If you make it in time, then my recovery will not allow you to connect the nerves with the catalyst itself.

Smer: It makes sense. Then what are your ideas?

Faceless: So that leaves fusion. We need to replace my bones with some metal.

Smer: What kind of metal?

Faceless: I'll talk about it with a Calm Madman and a Cursed Blacksmith. We will find a solution together.

Smer: Good. You wanted to go to Arfolia, will you go?

Faceless: Not if there is no portal to it.

Smer: The calm madman left the portal with her, but we don't have it.

Faceless: Not good. The calm madman is now defending the kingdom with which we have formed an alliance.

Smer: Wow, tell us.

Faceless>Smer: Recently, namely 5 years ago, my brother and I formed an alliance with the kingdom of Sunlight. Also, after that, I stood up for all five years. Later, when time had passed, a Calm Madman came to replace him. We exchanged only one piece of information, namely mine. By the way, I now have the same teleportation abilities as him.

Fedfrosl: Wait, wait. So you're saying that your faceless ability is too small for you. And that's why you got the ability to teleport through portals? And have you trained for all this, that not one creature from our mainland will be able to leave a scratch on you? Is it not enough for you?

Faceless>Smer: Yes, it may seem to you that I'm chasing power too much, but there is one thing. We realized that the progenitor was behind the restart of the universe, who restarted this universe for his own benefit. I need strength to kill him. The Calm Madman's ability was copied in order to accelerate progress. I did not copy the ability of the Cursed Blacksmith, since I already had it and improved it by practicing with him.

Fedfrosl: Okay, okay, okay. I get it, you want retribution and justice for those who have power.

"The Faceless One nodded."

Belias: In that case, what do you want to get from the next brother?

Faceless>Smer: I don't know yet, but since we're talking about my cognitive abilities, that's exactly the problem I'm going to solve as a copy of his abilities.

Belias: I see. By the way, if you copied the ability to create portals, and Arfolia has a portal, then can't you create a portal that leads to her?

Faceless>Smer: No, his brother has his own ways of creating, and I have mine.

Belias: I see.

Fedfrosl: In that case, since we have met and resolved some issues, can we separate?

Belias: Yes, of course.

Fedfrosl: Good. Smer, on your way back, call someone to fix the throne room. Don't let them touch the throne.

Smer: I'm listening.

Faceless>Smer: In that case, we'll say goodbye until the next meeting.

Fedfrosl: Yeah, bye.

"The faceless one took his hand off the skull and headed for the exit, followed by Belias."

Belias: Where will you go?

"The Faceless one took a step back to Belias and put his hand on his shoulder."

Faceless: I thought I would like to create a new union, but I can't do it without a Calm Madman. Therefore, I will go straight ahead, and you tell Kradr to deliver the Chlorine to me. She was at the meeting too. Oh, well, let him bring me the Growth, although no. Let him be a Rizzle if he is not busy mining materials. If you are busy, then you will grow.

Belias: All right, it will be done. Then I'm off. Have a good trip.

"The Faceless One took his hand off Belias and the moment they left the gate, Belias ran towards Kradar."

--- Some time later---

Belias: Kraadr! We're done!

"Kradr stood in the funnel and waited for Belias."

Belias: The Faceless One gave you a task!

Kradr: I'm listening.

Belias: You need to get Chlori and Rizl to him. If the Rizzle is busy, then the growth.

Kradr: OK, but where to?

Belias: He said he would move forward, so as I understand it, the first kingdom that comes his way is the destination.

Kradr: Good. So this is the Kingdom of the Mist.

Belias: Yes, I thought about that too. Only, I'm worried that he won't get a warm welcome.

Kradr: Yes, I think it will be.

--- Almost an hour later. The time is noon---

???: Mr. Pinot! We have an extraordinary news!

Pino: What happened in such a peaceful time? I don't know, but what might happen, I don't accept that. Yes, if there was peace, there would be no war. So if there was no war, there would be no massacre. Ah, carnage, as the power of the sword cuts through the flesh. Yes, that's it! It's blood. Ah, the river flowing down the hill, resembling a puddle. That's right, these are wars that do not accept peace. Yes, this is the world. It's a bastard who didn't accept my genocide!

???: I understand that there has not been a war for a long time, but this is what you wanted. The scouts said that either a huge warrior or a huge and cohesive horde is coming at us!

Pinot: What do you mean!? I don't know. What do you think? And I do not know! You are stupid! I understand that you are strong in other aspects, but isn't this a declaration of war! Ah, right, now I get it. Ha, and I realized this a long time ago, how could I not understand it?

???: What should I do?

Pino: Kill! Find out! To persuade to the slaughter!

???: Okay, we'll do that.

"??? He left the throne room and went to the sound amplifier."

???: All troops! Be on full alert! A possible attack from the third gate, from the mountains! If possible, do not attack!

"All the soldiers that were in the city and at the borders began to move to the third gate, where the Faceless One was going."

A voice from the top of the wall: Attention! People who have come to attack our peaceful country, urgently stop their actions, otherwise there will be protective measures!

Faceless:* Apparently, I am similar to the army. Yeah, if I had talked to the scouts, maybe this situation wouldn't have happened. Okay, let it be as it turned out.*

"The faceless one kept walking."

???: Attention! The enemy doesn't stop! The first level of threat, fire!

"Arrows rained down from the wall."

Faceless:*Is that what you want to stop me with?*

???: Attention! The enemy is not stopped! Mortars, fire!

"A huge boulder flew out from behind the wall, which hit the Faceless One and fell on his head and split."

???: The third level of threat! Magicians, let's move to the fourth level! A lightning spell!

"Due to the fact that the fog was all over the area, the lightning, hitting the Faceless One, dissipated. And again, and again. After another 26 hits on the Faceless One, the hail of lightning stopped."

???: The enemy is not stopped! Release universal warriors!

"A man as tall as an Orc came out of the gate, but he had a bag on his head that was held around his neck with shackles."

The man with the bag on his head: Please stop. If we fight and one of us wins, then I will be sent back to the dungeon to mine coal. Please!

"The faceless One has stopped."

A man with a bag on his head: I will approach you slowly for negotiations. Please don't attack or move.

"The faceless one continued to stand while the man approached him."

The man with the bag on his head: Commander-in-Chief! This is one person! Continue negotiations!?

Commander-in-Chief: Yes! We need a reason!

Man with a bag on his head: Hello, I am a slave of this kingdom.

Faceless:Yeah, he's going to have to wait a long time for my answer...*

Commander-in-Chief: I ask you to cooperate! Depending on the reason for your arrival here, we will take action!

The man with the bag on his head: Why are you silent?

"The faceless one raised his hand and pointed with his fingers, as if the fingers were his feet, that he needed to go and pointed at the man with the bag on his head."

The man with the bag on his head: Commander-in-Chief, he wants to come to me! What to do?

Commander-in-Chief: All right, let him go!

"The faceless One approached the man and put his hand on his leg."

Faceless: If you want to negotiate, you can't just talk like that. I don't have a mouth.

A man with a bag on his head: He says he can't communicate! As I understand it, only through telekinesis and physical at that!

Commander-in-Chief: * Rare... I want him to join the army. Ha-ha.* Speak up!

Faceless: What's your name?

A man with a bag on his head: Unfortunately, I've lost my name.

Faceless: Hmm, what was your name before you lost it?

The man with the bag on his head: I used to be an advisor to the Empire of giants. When I was at a diplomatic meeting with the dwarves, I was captured and made a slave.

Faceless: What's the name?

The man with the bag on his head: My name was Rangbein.

Faceless: Okay, Rangbein, what did you want to learn through negotiations?

Rangbein: What's the reason you're here? This is a protected area. The entire territory of the mist kingdom is a dangerous territory.

Faceless: I am looking for new kingdoms to form an alliance in my empire.

Rangbein: So you're the emperor and you came alone? Without an entourage?

Faceless: My translator and one of the loyalists should be delivered soon.

Rangbein: I'll tell you a secret. Now the only heir runs this kingdom, but he has schizophrenia. He wants peace, but not like this. His peace of mind is the peace that can only be achieved by slaughter.

Faceless: Then I'd like to talk to him, may I?

Rangbein: Commander-in-Chief! This is the Emperor and he wants an audience with the king!

Commander-in-Chief: Good! Take him to the gate!

Faceless: Don't worry, I can walk myself.

Rangbein: I understand, but I can't leave you alone.

Faceless: So be it, lead me.

"`Rangbein put his hand on the Faceless One's head, and the Faceless one took his hand off his head and after walking a couple of steps they were already at the gate."

Commander-in-Chief: Hello, could you introduce yourself first?

Faceless>Rangbein: Ahem, so. He says he doesn't have a name, but has a nickname since birth, 'Faceless'.

Commander-in-Chief: I see. Then we have to do an inspection. Please lay out all the weapons. Take off your armor and mask.

Faceless>Rangbein: He says he doesn't have a weapon, but he can't take off his armor and mask. Especially the armor.

Commander-in-Chief: It's sad. Could you talk to me? Otherwise, it is somehow not convenient to conduct a dialogue through someone.

"The faceless One approached the commander-in-chief and touched his shoulder with his shoulder."

Faceless: And so, greetings to you. I'd like to ask you something myself. What is the main reason for my stop. I could have just walked by.

Commander-in-Chief: Wow, it's weird when there's a voice in your head. Yes, I understand you, but because of the noise you created, I had to stop you. Then it's my turn to ask. The reason for your inability to remove the armor?

Faceless: Let's do this. Taking off the mask will make you feel very bad. After removing the armor, everyone will almost instantly die.

Commander-in-Chief: I wonder why?

Faceless: I will answer if you pass this information to the main ones.

Commander-in-Chief: I undertake to comply.

"The Commander-in-Chief saluted."

Faceless: Then, I explain. I am the son of the progenitor, I hope you know who this is. As a faceless person, I have no personality and because of this I have no restrictions. In this regard, I exude a colossal amount of divine mana that their concentration will kill everyone, but not instantly - 5 minutes. While waiting for my brother to bring me a mask to absorb all the mana, I made a crack in the barrier that prevented me from using the ancestor's mana. Gradually, the crack grew and the harm to the surrounding world increased. Once she gets the armor, she absorbs this mana. Due to these factors, I will be able to remove the mask for a couple of seconds at most.

Commander-in-Chief: Hmm. It's clear now, but we need to check it out. Yes, we believe you, because your armor is too heavy, but still. Take off the mask, please.

"The faceless one lowered his head and raised his right hand to the mask and began to take it off. Long rods began to come out of the face, and with them a multiple discharge of blood. Blood drenched the Faceless One's armor and trickled down to the ground. After that, the pressure around the entire city increased, as if gravity had doubled and was gradually increasing."

Commander-in-Chief: Kha.

"The commander-in-chief had blood pouring out of his mouth."

Commander-in-Chief: That's enough...

"The Faceless one put the mask back in. In the places where the blood fell to the ground, all the grass rotted and turned yellow next to it."

Faceless: Are you satisfied?

Commander-in-Chief: More than. Kha...

"Blood started flowing from the commander-in-chief's mouth again."

Rangbein: Apparently the Commander-in-Chief cannot speak. Please follow him. You will be taken to the ruler of these lands of the kingdom.

"The commander-in-chief moved away from the Faceless One and entered the gate, into the territory of the kingdom, went towards the king's palace. The Faceless One followed him."

--- After 15 minutes---

"After passing through a large number of houses and scaring everyone who was nearby, the Faceless One ended up at the entrance to the palace."

Commander-in-Chief: To you. Kha... Here...

"The Faceless One opened the door to the throne room and..."
