The wrong transmigrator assigned by the system

Before the Dark Cursed One could unleash its death cloud of curses, Lu Ming forcefully inserted the Peheim Magic Staff into the Dark Cursed One's body. A rapid barrage of twelve Farron Short Arrows instantly blasted through the Dark Cursed One's internal organs, killing it before it could even unleash its death cloud!

The massive body of the Dark Curse One crashed to the ground, and Lu Ming collapsed instantly. A whole night of pursuit had left him utterly exhausted, both physically and mentally.

Fortunately, the screams and cries have now ceased throughout the city of Paris; only the cries for help from the citizens remain.

Although it's unknown whether the Dark Curse One has been killed, the fact that civilians have started to spontaneously rescue people suggests that there's nothing to worry about now.

Lu Ming, who had fallen to the ground and was almost asleep, was helped up by Sham, who had arrived at some unknown time.

With one of Lu Ming's arms draped over his shoulders, Sham helped Lu Ming back home step by step.

"You must be exhausted today." After helping Lu Ming lie down on the bed and taking off his coat, shoes, and socks, Sham brought a basin of hot water and wiped Lu Ming's face.

"Although I'm tired, I'm also a little happy."

"happy?"

"I'm about to catch up with you. I'm just a little bit away from becoming a real magician!"

"You're still a long way off! Not to mention I'm already at level three. And just considering age, I'm three years younger than you!"

Lu Ming closed his eyes, grabbed Sham's hand, pulled her into his arms, and said with a smile, "You've been practicing since you were little. I've only been practicing for a short time..."

"Goodnight, my fiancé..." Looking at Lu Ming who was already asleep, Sham smiled and fell asleep with him.

Neither of them noticed that Kanina was standing outside the room.

Watching Lu Ming and Sham talk about love and seem to have a good relationship, she, who had caused Lu Ming and Yusaha to break up completely because of some words, wondered why she hadn't disappeared, and also felt a little guilty towards Yusaha.

But she is, after all, Yusaha's daughter. To ruin her parents' relationship like this is really outrageous.

A long-awaited third update! We don't need to worry about Yusahar stealing things anymore, since I've made her the first boss. (*^__^*)

Chapter 40 - The Council of Nobles

After chasing the Dark Curse Master for over ten hours, Lu Ming, like everyone else, slept until noon before getting up.

Unlike the others who had been hunting down and eliminating the large number of Dark Cursed Ones who had suddenly appeared in the city yesterday, Lu Ming had to take a shower and change into a clean suit with the help of Sham and Lily because of an afternoon meeting.

Before leaving, Lu Ming put on his crest, the Franz Wolf with a sword, to prove his noble status.

Looking at Viscount Hatu, who was only six or seven years old and sitting upright in the living room, Lu Ming felt that besides thinking that Hatu's father was very powerful, he also felt that Hatu was a little too strict with his younger brother.

"Are you ready, Muka?" Putting on his new shoes and picking up Behem's magic wand, Lu Ming slowly found Viscount Hatu and asked.

“Yes, brother-in-law!” Muka Hatu, the current viscount of the Hatu family, nodded, and was then picked up by Lu Ming and taken out to attend a meeting to discuss who should be the new lord.

As the first generation of nobles in the Lu family, Lu Ming, who was only a baron, and Muka, who came from an ancient noble family but was only six years old, actually had no say. The reason they went to the meeting was merely to give the nobles face.

Sitting in the carriage, Muka only relaxed slightly when Sham was out of sight, which made Lu Ming find it somewhat amusing.

"Mukah, here you go." It was clear that the little guy was under a lot of pressure, so Lu Ming took out two cans of apple soda and a big bag of sandwich cookies from the parcel compartment to help the child relax.

Knowing that her sister now listened to her brother-in-law Lu Ming, Muka didn't hesitate and started eating and drinking. She was a far cry from the tense and almost fainting person she had been at Lu Ming's house earlier.

However, while Lu Ming and Muka were enjoying their meal and drinks, the servant sitting with them in the carriage was in for a lot of trouble.

Because Muka wanted cookies, he was the one holding Muka's portion of apple soda. If he accidentally spilled it on the Viscount or Baron, he would be hanged. Of course, he also got a few cookies, so it wasn't a complete waste of time.

While Lu Ming and Muka were enjoying their meal, several nobles from various factions were discussing something in their own small circles in the lord's manor's conference room. Only Countess Luianali's children sat there blankly, like lonely souls, unsure of what to do.

Apart from Hax, who knew a little about what was going to happen, both Yusaha and Fren were extremely nervous.

This meeting was organized because of the rampage caused by the Dark Cursed yesterday. The purpose is to elect a lord who can lead everyone and organize the extermination of the Dark Cursed in the Helen Forest outside the city.

As the children of the former lord, Yusaha and his two companions have an exceptionally high chance of becoming lords. However, the problem is that if more than half of the nobles disagree with making them lords, they will be enfeoffed as viscounts, left to live a life of idleness at home, and will never be able to think about owning a territory again.

Unfortunately, their mother, Countess Luianali Sachs, had left a very bad impression on all the nobles of Niflheim. This significantly reduced their chances of inheriting the lands!

Of course, if they are viewed favorably by other nobles, one of them may be allowed to inherit the territory.

"What should I do? What should I do? This situation is very unfavorable to me!" Yusaha was extremely anxious as he watched the meeting being organized because the Countess had not left a will, which was caused by his own impatience.

Having once again gone too far, she was completely unprepared for this sudden meeting and knew she might not have anyone to support her. She couldn't help but feel a pang of regret for her haste.

However, there's no going back in this world, so there's no point in regretting it now that things have come to this.

"Yusaha, are you alright?" Just as Yusaha was feeling somewhat desperate, Baron Medivh Arms, the culprit who caused her breakup with Lu Ming, and several other barons came over.

"I'm fine. What's going on with you guys?" Yusaha was a little puzzled by the barons who had come to her side, wondering what they wanted.

Medivh smiled and said, "For Lord Eldridge's sake, we're planning to nominate you!"

Upon hearing Medivh's words, Yusaha's pupils contracted sharply.

"You guys too..." she asked, looking at the group in disbelief.

“Yes! Otherwise, why would you ask us to acquire Moonlight Arrows from Irithyll?” Medivh smiled, opening his arms wide. “Isn’t it to minimize the number of people with Moonlight Arrows in Niflheim, so that the Church of the Deep can develop there?”

Yusaha fell silent. She had heard about Eldridge from Lu Ming.

According to Lu Ming, Eldridge was a priest who enjoyed eating people. Because he ate too many people, he was corrupted by a curse and turned into a lump of mud.

Unexpectedly, Eldridge now wants to make a move against Niflheim.

"Is that so? Then, how can you make me the new lord?" Eager for recognition, Yusahar cared little for the influence the Church of the Deep might have after its arrival in Niflheimza. Her only thought was to become lord and use the power of the Church of the Deep to establish a unique magic academy.

Seeing that Yusahar, though surprised that they were Eldritch's men, did not oppose the Church of the Deep, Medivh and the others couldn't help but laugh, feigning mystery by not revealing their thoughts to Yusahar.

Not far away, Furen saw that Yusahar had several barons, and his brother Hax had one or two viscounts, but he himself was all alone. Realizing he had no chance, he left the meeting room to find his fiancée, Mir.

Those who saw him leave also immediately removed him from the candidate list.

Viscount Saldallo, seated in the center, looked at the chaotic scene in the conference room with great annoyance. Because the Countess had been assassinated, there was no will. This meeting was merely a last resort. If possible, he would never want to convene a meeting that fostered the ambitions of various factions!

"Baron Lu, you were truly valiant yesterday! Out of 21 monsters, you took down 9. The combined strength of everyone else's team couldn't even compare to yours!"

"But my side also suffered the most casualties. Out of a hundred men, only 39 survived. It's really nothing to praise."

"But whether it's your 39 people or those people elsewhere, they wouldn't survive without the campfire you made. Wouldn't they?"

"Perhaps."

Just then, Lu Ming, Muka, and several other nobles who had arrived late entered the conference room.

Seeing that the Viscount was sitting at the middle table in the conference room while the Baron could only sit on the periphery, Lu Ming carried Muka to an empty Viscount's seat and sat down behind Muka.

Seeing this, anyone would know that Lu Ming had already befriended the Hatu family. Many nobles wanted to recruit this fiercely fighting wolf from yesterday, but unexpectedly, Muka, that wasp, beat them to it!

However, the nobles who hadn't had a chance to win over Lu Ming only felt regret. But Yusaha and Saldallo were extremely surprised by Lu Ming's friendship with the Hatu family. After all, Lu Ming and the Hatu family were enemies. In fact, Lu Ming could be considered the culprit behind the Hatu family's decline and being targeted by various forces.

But now, this once-friendly sword-biting wolf has bared its fangs and joined forces with the wasps in the hive. Both sides are now forced to be extremely cautious.

Lu Ming is the person who knows the undead, wandering spirits, and monsters in the forest best. And if Viscount Saldallo wants to investigate the undead, wandering spirits, and the conspiracies of the nobles, he is an indispensable person.

But now, even if he helps, he will cover up things about the Hatu family, which makes Saldallo very frustrated.

Yusaha, who was previously Lu Ming's fiancée, found it even more difficult to accept the alliance between Lu Ming and Hatu.

However, whether or not it is accepted has nothing to do with the meeting. A meeting that should start will not be held because of any person or event.

At Viscount Altah's prompting, Viscount Saldalho Hedist, son of Grand Duke Ramtes Hedist, stood up, cleared his throat slightly, and addressed all the nobles present: "Today, we will elect a new lord for the territory of Niflheim. Therefore, I ask all of you present to suggest a few suitable candidates!"

“I think we should respect Countess Luyana Sach’s will and elect Young Master Hax Sach to inherit Niflheim.”

“I disagree! Everyone in Paris knows that young master Hax doesn’t have much ambition. Making such a person our lord will cause Niflheim to fall behind the other territories of Erebus!”

"And Baron Medivh Arms, who do you have in mind?"

"My choice is the Countess's daughter, Lady Yusahar Sachi!"

"Both are daughters of countesses, so how can you be so sure that young master Yusaha is more ambitious than young master Hax?"

"As you all know, Ms. Yusahar Sachi has always wanted to establish a magic academy in Niflheim. Isn't this ideal proof of Ms. Yusahar's ambition?"

Listening to the argument between Hax and Yusaha's men, Lu Ming felt extremely bored. But the next sentence from the viscount on Hax's side made it impossible for him to calm down.

"As far as I know, the lady you support, Yusaha Sachi, is the Countess's illegitimate daughter! She has no right to inheritance and is of lowly status! Not to mention, she is no longer a virgin!"

----------------------------------

Since you all made it sound so bad, I guess I'll have to revise the previous parts of the text.

Chapter 41 - The Alliance of Wolves and Wasps

"Watch your words, Viscount Hamman! If you insist on influencing our judgment with such unfounded accusations, I must conclude that you are trying to disrupt this meeting!"

Lu Ming's shout rescued Yusaha from his predicament. However, his rescue wasn't entirely for Yusaha's sake; rather, it was because if the viscount continued speaking, it would implicate him.

If Lu Ming was an obedient dog before, he is now a vicious wolf that bites its prey!

After yesterday's hunt for the Dark Curse, Lu Ming's aura had become incredibly terrifying, so his roar startled everyone present.

Despite being a magic apprentice, it was able to defeat a swordsman far beyond its level. If this sword-biting wolf were to get angry, most of the nobles present might have to kneel here.

Intimidated by Lu Ming's imposing aura, Viscount Hamman, unwilling to die, awkwardly sat back down, helplessly watching Medivh swaggering behind a viscount opposite him, unable to say anything.

"Besides the children of these two countesses, I wonder if everyone agrees with Viscount Yuri Wenger of the Wenger family? As a young powerhouse in an old noble family, he is already a great mage at just thirty years old! I'm sure he can lead us!"

"If Baron Mousse recommends Viscount Yuri Wenger, then I, Baron Simon Belmont, will also recommend a viscount. That viscount is Viscount Alucard Poragon! He is a disciple of the Archmage Sheimos Sal, and his future is absolutely bright!"

“Having strength and a promising future does not mean they are suitable to be lords! I, Viscount Haresan Urra, hereby recommend Count Nero Catolo, the nephew of the previous lord, Count Nero Catolo! He is the nephew of the previous Count, and the Countess is Count Nero’s wife, so Count Nero should have the right to inherit after the Countess’s death!”

Taking advantage of Lu Ming's reprimand of Viscount Aman, which silenced him from speaking out of turn, the two barons and the viscount immediately recommended the candidates they deemed suitable.

Lu Ming had no complaints about this, since neither he nor Muka wanted to support anyone. As long as it didn't concern him, he could just watch the show.

However, his thoughts were seen through by Viscount Saldallo at a glance.

"Damn it! Without a word, you've joined the Hatu family. How am I supposed to continue investigating Erebus's secrets?"

Seeing Lu Ming sitting there watching the spectacle with an air of amusement, Saldallo was furious that his plans had been disrupted. He stood up, looked at Lu Ming behind Muka, and asked, "I wonder, which one do Viscount Hatu and Baron Lu want to support as lord?"

Muka was taken aback when Saldallo asked her that question, and for a moment, she was speechless.

“We support Viscount Nero Catolo.” Lu Ming, who was sitting behind Muka, saw that Muka, who was only six or seven years old, had been stumped by Saldallo’s question, so he immediately stood up and answered Viscount Saldallo’s question for Muka.

However, his answer stunned Saldallo and Count Nero, who were completely unprepared for his response. Yusaha, who had once had a connection with Lu Ming, simply glared at him through gritted teeth.

"I don't understand, Baron Lu, why do you and Viscount Hatu support me, the nephew of the former lord? Compared to you, aren't both Hax and Yusaha better than me?" Count Nero, who was in his thirties, asked Lu Ming with some disbelief.

“It’s simple. We believe that you will be better suited to lead us in clearing out the monsters in the forest outside the city than either Hax or Yusahar. As far as I know, neither Hax nor Yusahar did anything to deal with those monsters during yesterday’s rampage. Yet you, Earl, have been helping out in the city with your servants and guards.”

"They are the daughters of a countess, and for whatever reason, they should be on the front lines. Yet, when their people need them most, they choose to remain inactive. I find it hard to believe that two people like them can truly lead everyone out of this period shrouded in the shadow of monsters."

"This is not the peaceful time we once knew. We need an ambitious lord to lead us in suppressing the other lords and their nobles in Erebus in every way—economically, agriculturally, and in terms of strength. Our city of Paris is currently being oppressed by the monsters of the Helen Forest. We must fight back. And their cowardice, as a member of Niflheim, makes me see the possibility of failure!"
