Blood Of Platinum
Chapter 273. Article: The History of Our Kingdom and the Mysteries Within It
A history in a country that does not know its name. There was an incident 50 years ago, where all the pure races of the Country were against the arrival of the half elf race and the beastman monster race.
This is because there is a legend of the Holy Book of Religion adopted by the population in the country.
In the legends that were the spear of history in the Country, the mixed blood of the elf race was a sign of disaster and the beastman monster race was the source of destruction.
In those days, the kingdom led by the king who came from the House of Bernkastel-Wiesbaden ordered his troops to hunt down and behead the mixed race and
beastman race.
There was a great war at that time due to the order of extermination of the royal family.
Along with the great war raging at that time, the two opposing races also managed to create a magic weapon.
The weapon was made from the blood of his fellow soldiers who died in an attempt to defend themselves and their racial equality. The weapon is called the Artifact.
So powerful was the weapon that in an instant it was able to suppress the resistance of the royal forces and give victory to the two opposing races. However, this did not last long.
The power of the kingdom returned as the magic knights of the six families helped. They belong to the Xelhanien, Vermillion, van Houdsen, Midford, Rottenburg and Kiel-Kassen families.
The six families are fighting to help the kingdom by still trying to find a middle ground so that the civil war does not spread.
After 12 years of war, they finally managed to stop the long war. A peace treaty was written and Artifact weapons made from the blood of the fallen troops were kept as the most powerful historical objects.
However, just one year after the signing of the peace treaty, the troops who call themselves the warriors of the two races are back with a dangerous magic.
It is an ancient magic long forgotten. The sacrifice of life is a condition of activating it.
Of all the magic there is called conditional summoning magic. The makhuk that will be summoned is a creature from the ancient magic book that is considered to be the most terrifying and cruel creature that has long been sealed.
The army used conditional summoning magic to suppress the kingdom.
The kingdom that is trying to stop the war is heating up again using the Artifact to stop it
war.
But when Artifact is activated, unexpected events occur.
The weapon that had been sealed after the first war was like life. The magic knight who used it could not control it and even then, the knight from the Midford family was seriously injured.
This was another matter for the royal party as only that weapon could stop the ancient beings summoned with forbidden magic. But when they want to be used, they just like being cursed themselves.
Only knights from the Xelhanien family could control the magic weapon at that time.
In order to support and suppress the enemy forces due to the lack of power from the kingdom, the royal family requested the help of the Master of the Magic School Academy who was then just an ordinary magic school.
Thanks to their support, the power to stop the war was gained and the enemy was successfully suppressed.
The Kingdom grants another supreme authority to the School Board to help maintain the security and balance of the State.
And as another form of homage to the knights of the six families, they were appointed as noble families.
The Xelhanien and Kiel-Kassel families even became part of the royal family thanks to matchmaking and it is still ongoing today.
The artifact that was considered dangerous was finally scrutinized more deeply by the Magic School Academy.
Since then, laws have been introduced to eliminate racial discrimination.
There are still many who oppose it including the insiders of the noble and royal families. But many learn from the past.
The Magic School Academy and the kingdom agreed to divide their territory in two to further increase strength and security with the same goal of preventing bad history from reoccurring.
The kingdom crowned Prince Lucario as the new king at the time, the stability of the kingdom grew stronger with the support of Master Dresden Heidelberg.
However, the peace of the new kingdom changed kings at that time did not last long.
I don't know what triggered it but some activists have returned to explore the past so that there is a split between people who support racial equality and people who reject both races.
This happened again until finally the Parliament of Magic decided to take decisive action by punishing the provocateur in the death penalty.
The act of the Parliament of Magic was at the behest of the then king, Lucario with the full support of Master Dresden Heidelberg.
As a result, there was a conflict on the parliamentary table that led to infighting and premeditated murder directed at the king's supporting nobles.
One of the victims was Marquis Vermillion and his wife and daughter.

“I love sandwich with mustard and lots of sauce. And most geniuses, a size of this size costs only 50 Penny Libra can be 3 pieces! How amazing!”
“You were right Ryou. It's delicious and cheap. Although not hungry but I always want to taste food in ‘world’ other. I still remember the French cuisine that we ate at the food stall at ‘world noon’ when we first met Kaito-san”, Kino said
“Yes right? The price is cheap anyway! Cheap and delicious is good! What the hell was in that office?! 1,000 Penny Libra for a can of drinks? He wants me to sell my kidney?! Quickly not sell! I'm sure it expired!” Ryou grumbled to himself
“Don't make me feel guilty” Kaito said
“I just want to wake you up. Well, ignore. At least you know the problem. No price tag does not mean free, remember it!”
“Yes, I understand”
Back to the third talk.
“So, I understand why Xenon-san said that the previous Marquis of Vermillion had an incident and we don't need to know why”
“Overnight talk gives us information and our search results today already show bright spot”
“The question is could the insider cooperate with the provocateur in question? Not much in that article discussed” Kino continued
“I'm sure there is something disguised there and not necessarily the contents can be trusted”
Kaito's remarks opened up another view of Kino.
“Kaito-san thinks so too?”
“I mean, could the article be a lie?” ryou asked as he chewed his bread
“Not all the information is accurate, that's what I mean. Maybe something was added or reduced. Or even there are modifications so that the actual happened is not disclosed to the public”
“Caused” Ryou justifies the word Kaito. “In addition, if there are activists who re-examine the past so that there is a division between the races, it is very likely that it comes from noble families as well”
Kino said his hypothesis.
“True. In addition, the culprit is likely we already know since the beginning of”
“.....” Ryou and Kaito look serious
“In the article it is said very clearly that the two races are races that are opposed based on the religious books that are held in this country. Although the current population does not dispute all the differences, it does not rule out the possibility of them returning”
“Half-elf and beastman..” Ryou muttered slowly.
“True. Remember the black magic user that Xenon-san killed when he first met us? There was a half elf girl and a beastman. Then the initial story of missing person cases in the eastern region as well, the perpetrator who was killed was beastman”
“Only those that make sense” Kaito nodded as a sign of agreement
“Asumkan that indeed those who demand revenge for the defeat of the war in the past” continued Kino again
“Then it is not explained whether they really lost in the article, but it is written clearly that their strength was successfully suppressed”
“Means I said earlier that they do have the potential to be a target. The most obvious past grudges” Ryou spoke confidently
After the bread in Kino's and Kaito's hands had run out, the three drank simultaneously and stopped at the same time as well.
“Aah~segar” they sigh and feel relieved together
Ryou started to reopen the conversation after drinking.
“Now, I wonder if a Magic Council party like Xenon doesn't realize any of that sooner? It's funny that they don't realize it”
“True too. Xenon-san said the motive and possible culprits are still unknown while all of this is clearly visible in our eyes although it is still not entirely. That's pretty weird”
“Do the Magic Council members not understand the history of their own Country until forgetting about it? Or have they forgotten it completely?”
“Which is clear, we will discuss this with Xenon-san. If the reason he still hasn't realized it is because of a cause, then we can help him with this information”
“And when we enter the academy later, we can get more other information connected with the information we have” Kaito smiled with full confidence
All three can be said to have advanced one step without the help of anyone. However, it may be just a small piece of information from the darkness in that place.
