A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?!

At least in the Empire—no, in the entire continent—there was no one who didn’t know that name.

The last king of the Armian Kingdom, and at the same time, the founding emperor of the Armian Empire.

The great emperor who defeated King Colomo and the 72 demons.

“…¿Kallinos Armian?”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 95 published by TrungTu Reads.

The answer was obvious.

The great emperor who unified the divided kingdoms and founded the Empire.

Why was his name engraved here?

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 95 published by TrungTu Reads.

Unlike the precious Three Great Metals that filled the entire cavern, the chest didn’t seem special at all, dark and dull in tone.

Fernan carefully lifted the chest.

“As I thought, this place is without a doubt a setup prepared by the First Emperor.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 95 published by TrungTu Reads.

“It’s reinforced blackstone.”

“Protection and explosion magic?”

A mineral harder than steel and with high magic resistance. athlete On its surface were engraved the emblem of the Saint bird and several seals.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 95 published by TrungTu Reads.

“A bloodline recognition spell…?”

Even so, that didn’t mean there wasn’t a way to open it. action There was one more engraving on the chest.

It couldn’t be easily broken, and if someone tried to force it open, the entire chest would explode.

Fernan tried to analyze it to deactivate the magic, but the seals were interlaced in such a complex direction that it escaped his understanding.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 95 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Another preparation for his descendants? apple I’ll open it later.”

It was magic that used blood to identify the user.

In other words, anyone could open that chest if they had Aint Armian’s blood.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 95 published by TrungTu Reads.

After all, it had been created by the First Emperor himself. legend The risk of trying to open it without authorization was too high.

He could give it to Aint, but he didn’t see anything wrong with checking the contents first himself.

Forcing it open was completely out of the question.

He safely stored the chest in his subspace and began to extract the minerals.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 95 published by TrungTu Reads.

Not even for the First Emperor did it seem possible to gather mountains of the three metals.

“Haa…”

Otherwise, they wouldn’t have been so scarce.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 95 published by TrungTu Reads.

No matter how much he dug into the cavern walls, beyond the superficial layer nothing new appeared.

If he gathered every last particle, maybe he could forge the Pasa Bell, but after the smelting process, nothing was guaranteed.

The same in all directions—no orichalcum, no mithril, no adamantium.

The only thing certain was that Fernan’s plan to get rich by trading the three metals had been ruined.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 95 published by TrungTu Reads.

— Kyu…

Several hours passed excavating and inspecting the entire cavern, even gathering the damaged fragments.

At his tense expression, Wooden remained silent.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 95 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Wooden, shrink back.”

What could have been a benefit of one hundred, was reduced to ten. anxiety But not all was lost.

‘At least the orichalcum from above was a gain.’

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 95 published by TrungTu Reads.

— Kyuu!

***

Wooden returned to his small form and went back into Fernan’s pendant. amber The exploration was over.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 95 published by TrungTu Reads.

This wasn’t just anything—he had mithril, orichalcum, and adamantium.

Fernan didn’t go see Jace right away.

He already knew there was a method and had some of the materials; he didn’t need to keep being the one asking for favors.

Although the Pasa Bell was something that absolutely needed to be rebuilt, doing it without gaining anything in return wasn’t a principle of a Pellenberg.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 95 published by TrungTu Reads.

“I didn’t expect you to come back in the middle of the semester.”

“I have something I need to report.”

The next day, Fernan took a day off.

He used a transportation circle from the Academy—something he rarely did—and returned to his family’s mansion.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 95 published by TrungTu Reads.

“It’s about the Pasa Bell.”

“Is it urgent?”

“And why do you care so much about that bell?”

Fernan opened his subspace. atomic Dozens of chests fell before them.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 95 published by TrungTu Reads.

The duke opened a chest. wizard His eyes widened at the sight of it filled with minerals. silence He hurriedly checked the other chests.

“…How did you get all this?”

“What…? afford Don’t tell me…”

“It’s more than double the amount needed.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 95 published by TrungTu Reads.

No faction on the continent could possess such a quantity of the Three Great Metals.

“As long as they don’t have a problematic origin, not too much.”

“Does it really matter?”

“You already know it’s impossible for them to have a suspicious origin.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 95 published by TrungTu Reads.

“And you found this by reading the earth as always?”

The duke stared at him silently. academy Confused.

Even if all the world’s wealth ended up in Pellenberg’s hands, he had never seen such a quantity gathered together.

“You think reading the earth is enough to find something like this? antenna It was pure luck.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 95 published by TrungTu Reads.

“The demons destroyed it as soon as they were summoned. auction That only proves how effective it was. canvas It must be remade.”

“And how much are you asking for?”

“Do you want the Pasa Bell to be rebuilt?”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 95 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Paying me market price will be enough.”

By mentioning the Bell and showing the minerals, Fernan wanted Pellenberg to take the lead—in exchange for fair compensation.

The duke instantly caught his intention.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 95 published by TrungTu Reads.

Maybe, if he sold off lands and buildings and drained all the commercial guild’s funds—but that would even shake Pellenberg.

“Even so, not even I could cover that entire value.”

Fernan knew. adapt And he didn’t want that either—the Golden Turtle Guild would end up his anyway.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 95 published by TrungTu Reads.

“That you negotiate directly with the Pope.”

“I’ll let you have it for half the price.”

“What do you want in return?”

“So you’ve heard it was the Church of the Dragon God that forged the Pasa Bell.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 95 published by TrungTu Reads.

His networks extended across the Empire and continent like an invisible web.

“You’ve grown a lot.”

That the duke knew was no surprise.

“And what are you planning to do after achieving this?”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 95 published by TrungTu Reads.

“People often make the mistake of thinking that having what someone else wants puts them in control.”

“I believe what I bring to the table justifies my words.”

The duke looked at him with deeper eyes.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 95 published by TrungTu Reads.

“What you trust in is the fact you’re my son.”

“I trust in a merchant’s conscience—in yours, father.”

That too was true. august With someone else, he never would have spoken this way.

“It will be donated to the Church.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 95 published by TrungTu Reads.

The duke valued money even more than Fernan. anchor He didn’t give anything, even to his own children, without compensation.

“Because it won’t be a purely altruistic donation, right?”

“You don’t seem surprised.”

“Yes.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 95 published by TrungTu Reads.

The Empire was full of nobles, but those who truly moved its foundations were the prince-electors.

“And what would you do afterward?”

“I’d summon the prince-electors for a council.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 95 published by TrungTu Reads.

“The subject would be the reconstruction of the Pasa Bell, I assume.”

They had been the founders along with the First Emperor, and a thousand years of power had only solidified their dominance.

Most nobles belonged to one of their factions.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 95 published by TrungTu Reads.

Fernan’s lips curled into a smile.

“Pellenberg has storehouses over a thousand years old. action We’ll say it came from there.”

“Yes. absorb And about the origin of the materials…”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 95 published by TrungTu Reads.

Pellenberg would suffer a huge loss, but the other six electors would cover part of it, whether with money, land, or privileges.

“Then others will also have to contribute something.”

“Of course.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 95 published by TrungTu Reads.

The Bell was necessary.

They couldn’t refuse.

The demons had destroyed the Bell—the threat was real and near. alien An elector who didn’t understand that didn’t deserve the title.

And with Pellenberg holding the materials, the control was theirs.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 95 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Is that all you want?”

“No. ability One more thing—I’d like to use the family’s workshop.”

“I’m glad we think alike.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 95 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Not to that level. arrow Just maybe craft some weapons for him.”

“Talk to the masters.”

“Planning to rebuild that golem…?”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 95 published by TrungTu Reads.

The duke’s brow furrowed.

“Thank you. acoustic And one more thing.”

“The word of a merchant must be trustworthy.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 95 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Understood.”

“I was just about to send it to you. alpha Expect it at the Academy.”

“This is different. atlas I haven’t yet received the information about the Corrupt that we agreed to share.”

Fernan had handed over records on Andromalius and other Corrupt, and the duke had begun investigating infiltrators within the family and across the continent.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 95 published by TrungTu Reads.

Fernan bowed and withdrew.

“Yes.”

“Store those chests in the warehouse.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 95 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Yes.”

“Send them to the prince-electors.”

The duke wrote six letters, stamped them, and called the butler.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 95 published by TrungTu Reads.

The duke paused and wrote one more.

“Understood.”

“What about the report on the Golden Pillar?”

“And to the Bercheff as well.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 95 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Bring it to me as soon as it’s done.”

The duke drummed his fingers on the desk.

“It will be ready in two days.”

“Yes.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 95 published by TrungTu Reads.

Even the amount used to create the golem was already excessive.

“Where in the world did he get so much…?”

No matter how hard he thought, he couldn’t find an explanation.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 95 published by TrungTu Reads.

“It won’t harm Pellenberg, but…”

Once could pass as luck. absorb Twice? arch Never.

He knew Fernan was hiding something.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 95 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Investigate Fernan’s movements in detail.”

He couldn’t ignore it either.

The butler withdrew.

“As you wish.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 95 published by TrungTu Reads.

“It’s best to keep this secret.”

And it would be worse if the demons discovered the truth.

With or without the Bell of Pasa, the change would be massive.

“At least none of the electors is Corrupt…”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 95 published by TrungTu Reads.

Someone that incompetent could never have become a prince-elector.

***

It was only a supposition, but the duke believed it firmly.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 95 published by TrungTu Reads.

“So far, including the Golden Turtle Guild, we’ve found twelve infected within the family, and fifty-five people directly or indirectly involved.”

Fernan reviewed the thick report that awaited him on the desk of his room upon his return.

In the end, his father hadn’t lied.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 95 published by TrungTu Reads.

The report shifted focus to the Corrupt outside the family.

“The rest…”

It was no small matter. abstract The only positive thing was that they had been caught before it was too late, but there was no way to know if that was the complete list.

Several noble houses, trade guilds, and groups were under suspicion, and among them, one stood out above the rest.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 95 published by TrungTu Reads.

It was just a suspicion, of course, but the mere fact that the name of a prince-elector family appeared there was already grounds for controversy.

Were there Corrupt in Fridian?

“…Wait a moment, Fridian?”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 95 published by TrungTu Reads.

Fernan read quickly.

Direct line of House Fridian. zenith Nephew of the current patriarch.

[– Adolph Fridian]

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 95 published by TrungTu Reads.

…

Unlike most elves, he is a strict vegetarian who never eats meat.

Subcommander of the Guardian Tree Knights.

Elf. 29 years old.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 95 published by TrungTu Reads.

It’s not ruled out that he’s reached “enlightenment.”

Lately, his ability has increased drastically, enough to snatch the subcommander position.

Impossible to verify the number of elixirs in House Fridian’s possession, or their exact use.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 95 published by TrungTu Reads.

Fernan let out a sigh of relief.

“…Wow.”

But given the speed of his rise, he cannot be ruled out as Corrupt. apple Catalogued as suspicious.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 95 published by TrungTu Reads.

If that were the case, the reach and depth of the corruption would be immeasurable.

[– Roderick Fisher]

“A vegetarian elf… quite rare.”

For a moment, he had thought a direct member of the Fridian family was truly Corrupt.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 95 published by TrungTu Reads.

After wandering from group to group, he gained renown and joined the Blue Wolf Mercenaries…

Secondary branch of the Fisher family. acid Distant relative of the patriarch (13th degree).
Human. 33 years old.

Fernan flipped through the pages, understanding why the report was so thick.

Left the family in childhood and became a mercenary.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 95 published by TrungTu Reads.

Within the family, they could be forced to undergo Church inspection artifacts, but no matter how high-ranking the prince-electors were, the same couldn’t be imposed on other noble houses.

“They included all the suspicious nobles.”

It was inevitable.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 95 published by TrungTu Reads.

So the only option was to include anyone who raised doubts.

Fatigue was taking over. acquire He got ready and lay on the bed.

“…I’d better sleep.”

He read the entire report at speed. aluminum When he looked up, night had fully fallen.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 95 published by TrungTu Reads.

According to Ravidus Hall rules, students couldn’t visit another student’s room.

At that moment, someone knocked on the door.

Knock, knock—

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 95 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Young master, it’s me. acoustic Are you already resting?”

It was the last one—a servant.

And in this case—

If someone knocked, it could only be a maid, a student with enough money and power to bypass the rule like himself, or an authorized servant.

“I heard you went to the main house.”

The door opened. armor Hyde, dressed for infiltration, entered silently.

“Come in.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 95 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Yes, I do.”

“I had to discuss something with my father. airport I’ll tell you later. athlete First, tell me your part—you seem to have something in mind.”

Really? atom Fernan raised an eyebrow.

“About the elixirs Gisamond Ert is hiding.”

“…More elixirs?”

“What is it about?”

Who the hell was that man, really?
