Episode 213. It’s scary
to be away
scared.
After all, are people the scariest?
Sussuk-
On the desk.
The heap of work of the chief.
Even as I scrawled with my quill pen, I could hardly calm my startled heart. It has to be. I never imagined that everything would be acting from the beginning.
‘So to put it simply.’
The smoke of the pagoda dwells in the conical hat.
It was an act to deceive the previous generation of archmages…!
In that sense, the pagoda was not a pagoda for nothing.
Just like Top Owner looked through Jesse’s memories.
Archmages should also be able to look at the memories of talking with the tower lord.
‘If you look at what the top owner said…’
There was no room for doubt.
That’s why it came out so rough.
Thanks to the method acting, you won’t be able to notice.
Even from me, who was face to face in the first place.
– Stop the conspiracy of the archmages. (In progress)
If the quest window hadn’t been blinking.
You wouldn’t have noticed the hidden meaning behind those words.
That doesn’t mean I’m clueless.
Become an accomplice!
Anyone can’t help but misunderstand that, right?
‘It’s no wonder that Marcelo isn’t someone I admire.’
The system window that is the exclusive property of the player.
Because of this, the former great mages couldn’t notice it.
I thought you would use the system window, a blind spot, to tell me the details of the incident.
‘That must mean he understands the system.’
Just as players do not easily understand 『Magic』, [System] was a concept that Arcana people did not easily accept.
As you can see from the fact that the world’s Marcelo is struggling with oddities.
I said calmly.
“I didn’t rise to the top position for nothing.”
I don’t think it’s something the person who took the top spot with a parachute would say… But, I think it’s enough to give a little strength to the shoulders when it comes to Gii.
‘by the way.’
In the end, it seemed that the tower owner had judged me until the end.
whether you can trust me or not.
Considering the contents of the quest, I think it is inevitable.
‘How many serpents do I have to deal with?’
It’s not even the archmage’s conspiracy.
A quest to stop the conspiracy of the archmage ‘s’.
It was because the tower owner was carrying out this extremely difficult quest alone. Even while sharing every sense with those enemies.
‘I’m starting to understand.’
Why did the tower lord let Jesse enter the Mage Tower?
Top owner must have chosen Jesse.
As an ally to stop the Archmage’s conspiracy together.
Speaking of the days when Arcana was just a game.
That would be the storyline of the archmage class quest.
-“Teacher and disciple…. I don’t know if there were one or two people who thought that way. Well, most of them, including me, probably weren’t.”
How can you say that even though you are a teacher?
After all, it must have been an act that even the person himself had to fool.
This is not the time to catch the top owner for lying.
The most important thing is what the archmage’s conspiracy is.
What kind of conspiracy did the top lord find out?
Did he forcibly separate his body and consciousness, go into the tiger’s den, and throw a gamble to give Jessie the position of the archmage…?
‘After all, is the truth of that bastard the problem?’
Speaking of truth, there was one person that naturally came to mind.
‘Karimzeba.’
Under the mage tower.
Unlike the two elder mages who collapsed in the middle of nowhere.
Karimzeba did not give up her desire for the true truth until she was frozen at absolute zero.
What Karimzeba did to reach the true truth was the resurrection of a high-ranking demon king…
.
It was me who encountered Gamigin, one of the top demon lords, at the end of the demon king battle.
Thanks to that, I was able to directly confirm the unusualness of the high-ranking demon king.
First of all, I couldn’t communicate with the top demon king.
-“□□.”
But let’s assume.
The ‘true truth’ that Karimzeba spoke of.
And if we equate the ‘extreme limit of magic’, the destination of the great wizards…
‘Does strangeness become the true truth?’
Through the conversation I had with the tower lord, I figured out that the limit of magic is gi. No, beyond what I understood, I proudly boasted that I was the founder of Kii.
‘Cause I spit it out of my mouth
Not just top lords.
The other archmages must have noticed that too.
‘As expected, they earn hawks with their mouths.’
If the personality of another archmage, not the tower owner, would come out, it would be quite troublesome. Hopefully Jesse won’t suffer from magical exhaustion.
Take a moment to swallow your sighs.
at the end of the thought.
I thought of a possibility.
‘Wait, if the high-level demon king is in the realm of strangeness.’
If you go with that premise.
There was one question that was immediately answered.
It was.
It’s like you’ve found the reason why Gamigin was able to resist [Giyi]!
Kiyi literally had a bizarre effect.
The reason why Karimzeba, who was called the Fire Dragon, was defeated by me in the past, who was incomparably weaker than now, was because I had no tolerance for oddities.
But Gamigin was the only one.
The battle with Gamigin that I recall. If it wasn’t for the help of Akshan seniors, I wouldn’t have been able to throw Gamigin into hell even if I had expressed my eccentricity.
If so, the conclusion has been drawn.
top lord.
That they, like me, are also beings who have entered the ‘territory of strangeness’.
When I thought that way, I understood why a high-ranking demon king had such an overwhelming ability. It was such a strange power that no one could resist it.
I muttered.
“is it.”
So it wasn’t just me and Marcel that were running towards Kii, was it? Not only the high-ranking demon kings, but also the archmages were moving toward Gii.
But that’s it.
everyone keep in mind
to figure out the subject.
“But don’t think of standing on the same level as me.”
As long as my dark history is awake.
Because I had the confidence to reach Kii before anyone else.
Not just words.
Now that Giie finds out that the top demon king is involved with the devil.
Grandfel has no choice but to be more sincere.
Sshasha shak—!
…No, you don’t have to be sincere like this.
For some reason, the speed at which he uses the feather pen becomes more and more rapid.
There, I was able to realize it once again.
Alas.
Rather than the road to Kii.
It seems that the hardships have been opened more clearly.
– Stop the conspiracy of the archmages. (In progress)
Face the tower owner’s body. (In progress)
But every road starts with one step.
If it was the body of the tower owner, it would be floating in the magical sphere on the top floor of the Mage Tower. always according to procedure. Finding the top floor comes after the chief’s work is over.
And as always.
“It is inconsistent. Bensh William.”
Ssuk-!
*
Kingdom of Yusra.
The new captain of the Golden Palace was Enoch Loren, the third member of the Knights of the Lionheart.
Enoch suddenly thought of Yeshika.
Why was Jessica so frightened?
“Huh–”
I had nothing to do to the point of yawning.
-“Captain, I want to join the zero mountain range expedition.”
Jessica’s Declaration.
I thought that Yesica would go on the dangerous Zero Mountains expedition instead of me. There was no reason to oppose Enoch.
It was today that Yeshika and Enoch exchanged duties with Harkon’s approval.
But that doesn’t mean defending the golden palace is an easy task.
but.
“…strangely puts my mind at ease.”
It had to be.
Who the hell could walk into a golden palace with an impure heart? In other words, it is a place that Commander-in-Chief Lee Ho-yeol visits every day.
Of course, the commander-in-chief is a very busy person. You don’t stay in your seat forever. So, aren’t there people who are aiming for that absence?
no i don’t know what
‘Another mountain is waiting beyond the mountain.’
Yes.
In the private room of the Golden Palace, there was Elsidore.
That the elf with no blood or tears was widening his eyes.
I don’t know how you managed to subdue such an elf, but…
Cancer Everything must be the ability of Commander Lee Ho-yeol.
“How long has this been honey?”
And yeska’s virtue of refusing this kind of honey is also added.
But Enoch was mistaken.
That the work of the golden palace guards hadn’t even started yet.
It was the moment when the sun rose in the middle of the sky and the hands of the clock passed exactly noon.
“…what what?”
Rush—
as if the sum had been matched.
People began to gather like clouds in front of the Golden Palace.
It was none other than the reporters who flocked to cover Ho-yeol.
random crowds.
Enoch reflexively shouted.
“stop. Captain Lee Ho-yeol has not returned yet!”
But a strange thing happened.
Aren’t the crowds so uncontrollable that they are neatly aligned with each other as if they were put together this time? It was not done by anyone, but voluntarily.
“Rock Paper Scissors!”
“Cheer up! Our VBC comes first.”
“No, Director Yoon. Did you just eat and practice rock-paper-scissors?”
Also, it seems that there is a procedure of its own to determine the order.
Enoch could sense it.
That this is also thanks to Lee Ho-yeol, commander-in-chief.
Why was it rumored even within the Lion Heart Knights?
-“I heard that when the commander-in-chief opened his mouth, the surroundings became quiet?”
-“Actually, I also heard something from the Mage Tower Wizard.”
– “What are you listening to in the Mage Tower?!”
-“According to rumors, the commander-in-chief seems to be a very noble blood relative in this world. It was to the point that the high-nosed Mage Tower wizards would say that.”
-“Even Homen. Didn’t you say there was such a prayer?”
Just Homen.
…is this the right way to do it?
It was in the midst of Enoch muttering to himself.
Suddenly—
the sound of horses hooves coming out of nowhere.
at the same time.
A sigh erupted from the reporters.
“Ehh.”
It was Skal who appeared riding his horse, Alexander.
Wasn’t it Skal who had been sticking to mysticism?
The reason why the reporters who should have been cheering for the appearance of such a Skaal were agitated was simple.
“No, come again. that?”
“Now it’s more boring than nice, really.”
“Isn’t Liuojunchun not worried? Is it a level 1 car?”
It takes a day or two to be surprised and start with the camera!
What the hell does Ho-yeol have to do?
Even the mysticism of the past is colorless.
In front of Ho-yeol, Skal was overly soggy.
Following Hoyeol, the Mage Tower and Yusra Kingdom.
And because I was running around the Zero Mountains.
“It’s really, really, really, really urgent this time.”
“What’s the scoop this time, Mr. Scal?”
“Of course, we will hold a formal press conference once this is resolved.”
Even that was not enough, it was Skaarl who secretly moved forward while making the same excuse every time. As always, Skal, who tried to appeal to Yesica by grabbing her, was startled.
“…Sir Jessica Bright?”
“She went on an expedition to the Zero Mountains. From today, I, Enoch Loren, will be the captain of the Golden Palace’s guards.”
“Oh, I see. Mr. Enoch.”
“…?”
Why is Yeshika a sir and herself a sir?
It was strangely intrusive, but it seemed too petty to argue with.
Moreover, the opponent was Skal.
‘Is it the dragon knight Skal?’
One of the few adventurers whose reputation has grown since before the cataclysm. Enoch was also a knight, so he couldn’t be unaware of the existence of the dragon knight Skal.
But such a great adventurer, Skal.
“no. It is more urgent than that, Enoch!”
restlessness.
I was hardly able to calm down.
“Unlike usual, there is a story that must be told!”
He said he had to meet Ho-yeol and was using a group.
It was only then that Enoch was able to understand Yeshika, who hated him.
That’s how she was tormented by Skal every day. Yesica…
Unlike the resolute Yeska, Enoch had a lot of affection.
“If Lord returns, I will deliver the message.”
Besides, Skal’s voice has to be very appealing.
But above all.
Because he said that Skal had a story that he must tell Ho-yeol.
“Your lines are a bit different from usual today?”
The buzzing reporters also helped catch the wind.
But unfortunately.
Skaarl could not achieve his goal this time either.
“But what time is it now?”
“Eh? Wait a minute, has it been too long?”
“No, Mr. Ho-yeol is not the kind of person to be like this, is he?”
“Maybe something happened?”
“…No way?! Oh no!”
Lee Ho-yeol, who never broke his daily routine.
he is unusual
After all, he didn’t show up at the Golden Palace today.
.
.
.
The top floor of the Magic Tower.
The wet floor is telling what happened.
He pauses——
the elder mage who witnessed the scene.
“… Chief Lee Ho-yeol?”
Yugweed barely spoke.
“May I ask how this happened?”
An orb of magical power that was horribly broken.
The essence of magical power poured down from within.
The top lord has disappeared.
