Chapter 131
Without the help of the Mercenary King, they would never have defeated Kimaris.
The count, after dealing with the egg, took charge of the cleanup operations.
Bercheff had not defended its territory with its own forces alone.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 131 by Indra Translations.
Even though the Empire had an emperor, in practice, the nobles were little less than kings over their own domains.
And, above all, without Fernan—who hired the Mercenary King and held the line with golems until reinforcements arrived—that hopeful outcome would never have been possible.
Without the reinforcements from the Cult of the Dragon God, the walls would have fallen.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 131 by Indra Translations.
The Cult of the Dragon God, which under normal conditions would have demanded an immense price, was content with taking half of the beast corpses scattered beyond the wall.
However, Bercheff’s situation wasn’t too bad.
Those who offered help had the right to demand it.
The Armian Empire was a mosaic of hundreds of states, and every favor received had to be repaid with appropriate compensation.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 131 by Indra Translations.
The priests of the cult left crying, but resigned.
“I have nothing to negotiate with you. aluminum You’re not my employer.”
“That the egg was destroyed…”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 131 by Indra Translations.
Thus, the only ones with whom Bercheff needed to settle accounts were Fernan and House Pellenberg.
The Mercenary King also demanded nothing. arctic He had no right to.

“Speak, Fernan Pellenberg.”
In the audience chamber of Bercheff’s castle, Fernan sat facing the count.
It was the count who opened the conversation. atomic Fernan took a sip of his hot coffee before speaking.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 131 by Indra Translations.
“First of all, we will provide the materials to repair the wall free of charge.”
“No. timber Free.”
“Free? timber I suppose you mean you’ll sell them.”
“Free…”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 131 by Indra Translations.
“What are you aiming to get with so much preamble?”
The count frowned. atlas An offer like that couldn’t be refused, but it could only mean that a massive request was coming.
“We don’t want much.”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 131 by Indra Translations.
In other circumstances, they would have fought over every detail in a tough negotiation. matrix But Bercheff had received too much.
“Then say it already. arcade As long as you don’t ask for half of Bercheff, I can accept almost anything.”
“Then I’ll be direct. abandon I want exclusive distribution rights for Bercheff’s weapons and armor across the continent.”
Still, he wasn’t willing to give everything away without hearing first.

“Then we’ll invest.” All translations belong to Indra Translations. You can find us online at indratranslations.com
Bercheff’s weapons were famous throughout the Empire, but they had always strictly controlled their exports. harbor The threat of monsters and demons didn’t allow them to divert resources, and they didn’t produce enough to sell surpluses anyway.
“Even if the number of monsters has decreased, there’s still danger. audit We don’t have the capacity to produce more.”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 131 by Indra Translations.
“You want to steal our technology?”
“Expand the workshops with Pellenberg money. harbor We’ll only take a share of the stocks and profits. wizard Everything else will remain Bercheff’s.”
“No. acid Just invest.”
At heart, Fernan did want to acquire their forging techniques, but he knew they would never hand them over.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 131 by Indra Translations.
“Pellenberg signing a deal where they don’t lose anything?”
“What do you really want?”
The count snorted.
“It’s not a loss.”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 131 by Indra Translations.
“…The wastelands?”
Fernan, who had already exchanged letters with his father, revealed the key proposal.
“The rights to exploit all the mines in the wastelands.”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 131 by Indra Translations.
An area as large as a small kingdom, with not a single village or mining operation.

Bercheff had always been besieged by monsters. acoustic Between its fortresses and cities stretched a vast undeveloped territory, reserved as a buffer zone and for evacuations.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 131 by Indra Translations.
“All of them?”
The count laughed bitterly.
But it wasn’t useless land. acquire Old research from the Golden Turtle Company revealed that it contained enormous reserves of resources untouched by human hands.
“Yes, all. aluminum And I believe we’ve earned it.”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 131 by Indra Translations.
And war devoured resources—food, horses, weapons.
War was inevitable. silence Kimaris wouldn’t be the last demon, and one day another horde would march across the continent.
The essential element was minerals to forge weapons.
“I’d never considered it, but that’s a shrewd request.”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 131 by Indra Translations.
The count understood.
‘Extract ore from the wastelands, forge weapons in Bercheff’s workshops, and distribute them with the Golden Turtle’s seal. palette Plus, with the reputation that Bercheff’s swords killed a demon.’
It was a guaranteed business that could only prosper.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 131 by Indra Translations.
“Then let’s negotiate.”
“Fine. atomic The demons will return, and there will be war. august It’s not bad for Bercheff to have a stake in it too.”
The important thing would be to define percentages—the workshop shares, the mine taxes.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 131 by Indra Translations.
***
When it ended, the count called for his daughter. Visit indratranslations.com for more free chapters and updates.
The discussion lasted two days.
“Luina.”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 131 by Indra Translations.
“Yes, Father.”
“I’ve handed over Bercheff’s foundation to that man.”
“Now it’s your turn to get it back.”
It wasn’t entirely true, but he had given more than he would have in any other situation.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 131 by Indra Translations.
“A marriage with the Pellenbergs…”
“…I’m not thinking about marriage yet. academy I want to become a Royal Knight.”
“Me? portal How…?”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 131 by Indra Translations.
“I see you’re not denying it.”
***
“I…”
Luina’s face flushed red.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 131 by Indra Translations.
Without him, the count wouldn’t have ended up negotiating—he’d have been beheaded by Kimaris’s sword.
In the end, hiring the Mercenary King had been the most decisive move.
‘I thought we could drag it out for at least a week, but it ended quickly.’
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 131 by Indra Translations.
“It was a satisfactory deal.”
They could have squeezed out even more, but maintaining good relations with the count and with Luina was better.
In any case, with this, Fernan and House Pellenberg had extracted everything they could from Bercheff.
And as for the Mercenary King—
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 131 by Indra Translations.
“I’m glad you think so.”
Claiming he had fought a demon, the Mercenary King tried to charge an outrageous sum.
Where there are gains, there are also losses.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 131 by Indra Translations.
Besides, for the future, it was worth accepting some loss.
He wasn’t just any mercenary; he was the Mercenary King, and he had killed a demon.
Fernan tried to lower it as much as possible, but cutting it down too much was impossible.
He called it a “standard price,” although there was no precedent—it was the first time anyone had accepted a demon-hunting job, so the standard was whatever he said it was.

“So now I want your answer.”
“Is it certain more demons will appear?”
“Not certain yet, but we judge it very likely.”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 131 by Indra Translations.
“And was it really necessary to involve me? portal This time there was no other choice, but House Pellenberg could have handled it alone.”
But there was no reason for them to shoulder all the burden alone.
Fernan knew that, after this, his house could defeat a demon on its own—especially with Aint’s help.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 131 by Indra Translations.
“If it were within Pellenberg’s territory, yes. august But outside…”
A demon had officially appeared for the first time in a thousand years.
“Right, you’re correct. adapt And after this, there’ll be fools who think two Royal Knights are enough to defeat a demon.”
The entire continent was on alert.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 131 by Indra Translations.
They said—
‘Humanity has progressed in a thousand years. acquire Maybe we can face the demons.’
But some were deluding themselves into thinking it wasn’t that serious, because Kimaris had fallen to just two Royal Knights.
Nonsense.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 131 by Indra Translations.
But there were plenty of such fools.
‘What happens with the other 62 if it takes two knights for just one?’
Only someone who had never seen one could believe that.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 131 by Indra Translations.
His authority in the guild was greater than ever. Read original high-quality translation at indratranslations.com.
Plus, his fame was skyrocketing—the Mercenary King who had slain a demon.
“But next time, don’t count on me if there are only two Royal Knights or one Archmage. harbor I won’t take that kind of risk again.”
“As for me, I have no complaints. accent It’s been a long time since a battle made my heart tremble. altitude And I was well paid. abandon I can’t ask for more as a mercenary.”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 131 by Indra Translations.
Fernan understood it wasn’t because they were two Royal Knights—it was because it was those two: the count and the Mercenary King.
“By the way, is Varus okay?”
“I know. arcade If they hadn’t trained together for years, they wouldn’t have managed it.”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 131 by Indra Translations.
In truth, that hadn’t happened.
“Yes. ability Someone made sure he had enough to cover the medical expenses.”
The Mercenary King hesitated for a moment before sneering.
It was just another way of saying “let’s forget about Varus.”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 131 by Indra Translations.
Fernan smiled contentedly as he saw him off.
Had he already returned from Frazia?
‘Now all that’s left is Aint.’
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 131 by Indra Translations.
Tap, tap. sphere Fernan tapped the table with his fingers.

【A demon invades Bercheff! antenna It’s no longer a thing of a thousand years ago!】
‘If not…’
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 131 by Indra Translations.
【The heroes who killed the demon: Count of Bercheff, Albinos Bercheff; Mercenary King, Garrett Schreiner; and Cardinal of the Cult of the Dragon God, Alby Gallian.】
【Bercheff withstood the assault—ten thousand monsters struck its walls, but they did not break through.】
【Aint Armian, the name that stands against the demons.】
【A giant black knight on horseback, identified as Demon Number 66, Kimaris…】
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 131 by Indra Translations.
From the front page to the last, it was all about the same thing.
“What a mess.”
Aria flipped through the newspapers as she returned from Frazia to the academy.
“No wonder Aint left so quickly after that letter.”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 131 by Indra Translations.
“Don’t ask me.”
“A demon… And it’s already the second. adjust Is this really okay?”
She hadn’t had time to explain anything to him, but there was no need—the whole world was shouting it.

“Who else am I going to ask? anchor You’re here.”
“You’re not going back home now either?”
Verian, eating roasted meat, replied indifferently.
“It’s not like you came to sit with me. antenna You sat here on your own.”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 131 by Indra Translations.
If he went back now, what would people say?
Since receiving the letter from his father, he could have returned—but he hadn’t, because Aint was in Bercheff.
Verian frowned and fell silent.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 131 by Indra Translations.
He needed to wait for Aint, coordinate with him.
“And you? airport Why aren’t you going home?”
Of the students, only Aint had permission to use the transport circle to Bercheff.
“Why are you returning to your family while Aint Armian is gaining fame in Bercheff?”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 131 by Indra Translations.
The rest had stayed behind at the academy.
Aria and Verian remained at the academy.
Valoshi had already returned to Bienderk.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 131 by Indra Translations.
“So you’re afraid of boats.”
Varus was on leave.
“There’s still no direct circle to Fridian.”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 131 by Indra Translations.
“…I can travel by boat.”
“Well then, never mind.”
Elves’ weakness to the sea was well known.
Aria was quiet for a few seconds, then suddenly spoke.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 131 by Indra Translations.
“Fernan.”
“What?”
“Don’t you find it strange?”
She popped a candy in her mouth before continuing.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 131 by Indra Translations.
What was strange was that nearly all the incidents had direct or indirect ties to Fernan.
Surprising, yes. This novel translation is officially hosted on indratranslations.com. portal But not so much after Andromalius. admire They already knew that had only been the beginning.
“When I became corrupted, for example.”
“This demon appeared in Bercheff.”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 131 by Indra Translations.
“Shut up already.”
“That was your fault, not his.”
“When he brought the World Tree branch.”
“And the Andromalius incident.”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 131 by Indra Translations.
Aria kept talking without concern.
“As if it was just me.”
“That happened because you lost your mind.”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 131 by Indra Translations.
“That was an accident, and he reacted as best he could. acquire You were there.”
“And now, the Bercheff incident.”
“Also during the Academy Congress, when he helped Aint against the corrupted.”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 131 by Indra Translations.
“I heard Luina was the one who invited him…”
“I’m just telling the truth.”
“Since when are you Fernan’s fan?”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 131 by Indra Translations.
“Then?”
“Then what are you implying? accent That Fernan is a corrupted?”
“Don’t be ridiculous! arch He’s been eliminating corrupted. anxiety That’s impossible.”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 131 by Indra Translations.
“Fernan knows something about the demons. galaxy He has clues and has been preparing.”
Otherwise, how could he have created Wooden?

A golem like that would take years of preparation.
Verian shrugged.
“How did he know the demons would return?” Indra Translations protects the hard work of translators and authors.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 131 by Indra Translations.
That made him even more impressive.
“Hmm, maybe.”
“The corrupted are everywhere in the Empire. attic Hunting them is proof enough. atomic Pellenberg figured it out and prepared before anyone else.”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 131 by Indra Translations.
“In the end, is it just the Pellenbergs…?”
“…Not all prince-electors are the same. voyage Kalburdern never acknowledged me, even after ten years.”
“Again with your connections?”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 131 by Indra Translations.
“But they do in the future.”
Aria muttered bitterly.
“Among students, friendships don’t bear fruit right away.”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 131 by Indra Translations.
He wanted to take it from the Armians—but with Aint gaining fame and slaying demons, everything had gone sideways.
His father wanted that title more than anything.
‘Prince-elector…’
Verian sensed there was something more behind her words, but didn’t press further.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 131 by Indra Translations.
“And why are you telling me?”
Right now, his father was surely seething with rage.
“What I mean is, Fernan sees farther than I thought. alien So does Pellenberg. silence It’s best we stay close and take advantage of whatever drops.”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 131 by Indra Translations.
“Because you’re already officially on his side. acid If we do it together, it’s less suspicious.”
“Ah, there you are. shadow Where’s Valoshi?”
At that moment, the dining hall door opened.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 131 by Indra Translations.
“I went. ability And I’m going back.”
“What are you doing here? accent Weren’t you in Bercheff?”
“Aint?”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 131 by Indra Translations.
“To Bercheff?”
“Yes.”
“Again?”
“No. afford To Frazia.”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 131 by Indra Translations.
Aint nodded.
Fernan appeared behind him.
“Fernan?”
“And this time with Fernan.”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 131 by Indra Translations.
Aria jumped up and eagerly approached him.
“So happy to see you again.”
“Fernan!”
“I see you’ve been well.”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 131 by Indra Translations.
“That’s the same thing. aluminum I’m in. accent What about you, Verian? acoustic You’re not going to reject the man who saved us, are you?”
“It’s only been a month.”
“A month is a long time. matrix So you’re coming to Frazia with us?”
“Not just with you—all of you.”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 131 by Indra Translations.
Verian exploded, as if someone had shot an arrow at him.
“I didn’t say anything!”
