The New Era Arrives: Giant World

Chapter 25 The Forbearance of the Remnants of the Eldian Empire

So, after the incident where he was seriously injured, the child recalled the entire time he had spent there. He remembered that he had accidentally led another child into a key area of ​​Eldia where Marleyan troops were stationed. There, they met someone who told them to leave quickly. Before they left, they noticed the Marleyan soldiers looked extremely hostile, which led to their revenge. Thinking of this, he wept bitterly, remembering how he had caused the death of his playmate. From that moment on, he harbored deep resentment towards the Marleyan army and began to study even harder to improve himself. Over a decade later, he achieved excellence in all aspects, and his medical skills reached their pinnacle, leading to his rising status in Eldia and also within the Marleyan Empire. He was also renowned, and it was here that he met a blonde woman. From that moment on, they corresponded, and after several years, they came to know each other and that their names were Grisha Jaeger and Dana Fritz. Then, during a meeting, Dana Fritz led Grisha Jaeger to the hidden stronghold of the remnants of the ancient Eldian Empire, where they met an old man. Dana Fritz then thanked the old man, one of the Eldian Empire's confidants, for his trouble. Grisha Jaeger then asked the old man various questions, and the old man told him the true truth of the world and the reasons why things had become this way. The old man also said to him, "The sins we are suffering now are for the atonement of our ancestors, but we have left behind the words of the 145th ancient emperor of the Eldian Empire. When the people of the Eldian Empire face a world-ending crisis, the new ancient emperor of the Eldian Empire will appear to restore world order, and they should secretly accumulate strength and wait for the appearance of the new ancient emperor of the Eldian Empire." Thus, the remnants of the ancient Eldian Empire, who were secretly accumulating power, had been quietly helping the inferior citizens of the ancient Eldian Empire. At the same time, the nine leaders of the remnants of the ancient Eldian Empire, who had carefully crafted their identities and were guided and corrected by the confidants of the ancient Eldian Empire, could better conceal their accumulated strength. Over a decade later, the children of the nine leaders married and had children of their own. They were known by various names: Annie Kruger, Piggy Finger, Maggie Belial Galliad and Polank Galliad, Remy Brown and Jalley Brown, Willy Deba and Willa Deba, and Bertold Hoover. They also had public names: Annie Leonard, Piggy Finger, Maggie Belial Galliad and Polank Galliad, Reiner Brown and Jabi Brown, Willy Deba and Lala Deba, and Bertold Hoover. When they were old enough to run and jump, their parents entrusted them to the trusted confidants of the Eldian Empire. These confidants selected talented individuals and resources from the remnants of the Eldian Empire to fully nurture the children of the nine leaders, providing them with comprehensive education and resources to understand the true nature of the world. Meanwhile, Grisha Jaeger and Dana Fritz also had a child here who received education and various resources. This child, whose covert name was Jiri Jaeger and whose public name was Jik Jaeger, received the same education and upbringing as the children of the nine leaders. Their parents would also take time to accompany them on outings, providing them with food, drinks, and entertainment, while simultaneously correcting and improving their various aspects and independent thinking abilities. They were also exposed to the lifestyles and habits of people from different social strata, witnessing the hardships and tears of the lower classes, and understanding the impact of revised history on people around the world and on their descendants. They also witnessed how Eldia barely functioned because the Marley Empire recycled and reused some of its surplus resources. They understood that the small nation's daily life depended on the hard work and perseverance of its people, barely sustaining each family. They also saw the expressions and attitudes of the Marleyan soldiers stationed in Eldia, where the Marleyans held those considered inferior in arrogance and disdain. Therefore, they secretly learned various methods and strategies for dealing with problems, as well as techniques to enhance their strength, so they could realize their value, meaning, and potential in the future. Meanwhile, their parents were doing their best to improve their children's lives to ensure they wouldn't be so passive in the future. Through their parents' observations and the profound impact of this revised historical truth on future generations of people around the world, they felt a heavy responsibility and a need to learn knowledge and methods more quickly to significantly improve their abilities. So they began to diligently absorb knowledge and methods and techniques for enhancing their power. Then, the confidants of the ancient Eldian Empire imparted their life's insights and methods for enhancing power to the children of the nine leaders and Grisha's children, telling them that they were the future hope of the ancient Eldian Empire. As time went by, the children slowly absorbed the expectations of their elders and parents. With the passage of time and the addition of abundant resources, their abilities in all aspects reached an extremely terrifying level. Whether in terms of temperament, body, or even their inner selves, they possessed extremely strong willpower, perseverance, forbearance, and extremely cautious judgment.
