chapter 1007
27. I Have No Name
(The new book is still under review, and the old book will also update 3 chapters today. I feel so bad.)
——
For the Rodma Empire, which is composed mostly of fairies with various powers, today is a very special day for this empire.
Because the queen of the Rodma Empire, also the master of the fairies—Lady Nilu—has recently accomplished the great feat that every emperor has longed for and dreamed of: unifying the continent.
The fairy Rodma Empire has finally subdued almost all the surrounding cities and nations with absolute strength and power. After the queen sent out powerful, self-disciplined fairies who do not require a master, these places have completely become part of the Rodma Empire. Rodma Empire has finally become a vast empire known to all in this era, unparalleled in its grandeur.
Thus, as everything came to an end and the queen could finally reign like a true queen, she had a thought: the Rodma Empire needs someone by her side who is trustworthy, honest, and patient enough to record its history for the future, which is sure to become even more prosperous.
In simpler terms: the queen wanted to find someone to document her history.
As for the name… calling it something like “historian” would be too mundane and crude. The history that the Rodma Empire is about to begin is so prosperous that the entire empire is like a painting engraved on a stone slab called “the continent. ” Therefore, the person who records this painting for the Rodma Empire and the queen should naturally have a title that sounds more elegant.
Scroll Painter herself—this is the name the queen has chosen for the identity of the person who will record the glory of the Rodma Empire and. However, such a person, who must always stay by the queen’s side and be exceptionally talented, patient, and secure, is indeed a rare find.
Under the queen’s gaze, the fairies have already interviewed several candidates who could be considered “the best of the best,” yet still have not gained the queen’s approval. Rather, it could be said that the queen is starting to feel a bit impatient.
“Leave. You seem to need more experience.”
After sending away the current “interviewee,” Claudia couldn’t help but feel a bit anxious seeing her master’s growing impatience.
“Claudia, how many more are there?”
“One, just one.”
Claudia hurriedly replied, “If you are feeling tired, I can have him leave…”
Finding a Scroll Painter cannot be rushed, especially since it all depends on the queen’s wishes. However, just as Claudia was about to send away the last “interviewee” this time…
Accompanied by the sound of the door opening, this impolite human actually barged in!
Clearly not even a fairy, just being here is already considered “bold,” yet this man dares to intrude before the queen! Does he have a death wish!?
“Human! Who are you…”
“The last rejected candidate left, so I came in. Is there a problem?”
The male voice, devoid of any waves or emotions, made Claudia doubt whether he was serious about wanting to be a Scroll Painter. How on earth was he “selected”!? What kind of candidates were the fairies choosing in the city!?
However, in the next moment, the queen straightened her posture and, after inquiring, Claudilus could only step aside: her master was not angry; instead, she was curious, humph… it seems this human is quite lucky.
“You are the last one, what is your name?”
“Scroll Master.”
The answer from this man, who even had to hide his face in a hood, was equally suspicious. Coupled with his seemingly indifferent attitude, was he here to cause trouble!?
“Queen…”
“Silence, Claudilus.”
The queen interrupted Claudilus’s reminder, appearing somewhat intrigued, “I am asking for your name.”
“I… have no name. The Scroll Master who records the history of the Rodma Empire cannot possibly have a name.”
Could this be the answer the queen wanted? Claudilus realized that in the next moment, the queen had already stood up.
After carefully scrutinizing the man before her, she asked, “That is indeed the case, but… human, how were you chosen?”
“You do not need to know so much; all you need is a Scroll Master, and I am here to write down the history of the queen of the Rodma Empire with paper and pen, nothing more. We do not need to have excessive contact .”
“…”
“Even if you eventually grow old and die, or are assassinated, I will record it truthfully. Whether you seek my help or try to engage me in conversation, from the moment I become your Scroll Master, I will have no further reaction. Please do not consider my existence; I am merely the history walking beside you.”
Claudilus now wanted to slap this unruly man until his neck twisted like a twisty noodle!
Could such words come from a lowly human like him, having the qualification and courage to speak to the queen of the fairies!?
However, Claudilus found that her master seemed to be waiting for such a response, anticipating the appearance of such a person!
She didn’t even ask more about this man’s background, simply revealing a contented smile and agreeing!
“Very well, you are exactly the kind of person I want. You… come to the Rodma Empire, come to my side, and I will have you as my Scroll Master, recording my every move. I will not investigate your matters at all; consider it as if you do not exist. However, correspondingly… do not let me down.”
“Rest assured, I will not interfere with any of your actions.”
After a pause, the Scroll Master said, “I also… cannot…”
After all… if I didn’t come to “this era” with such a method, such a plan, and such a purpose, I would have no other way.
This is the appearance of the “Scroll Artist,” and this is my true “first” encounter with Nilu. I used a script to bring myself back to the “era” when the Rodmar Empire existed as the largest empire on the continent.
In this era, Nilu is indeed serving as her fairy queen. The way I approach her is by getting close under the identity of the “Scroll Artist,” to observe this “unique” era in which Nilu still exists.
“Thank you for choosing me. Without further ado, I will now begin as the Scroll Artist, recording your every move.”
“First, [The Queen of the Rodmar Empire chooses to record history.]”
“Huh? Why is there no…”
“I told you, I do not exist, Your Majesty.”
Writing words on a brand new page of the “script,” I did not pay attention to Nilu’s expression at this moment.
There is no need, it is meaningless, there is no time; what I need to do now is not to get close to Nilu and make her like me.
But rather, this time, in this era, to save her!
This is my last remaining chance!
