Episode 155

EPISODE.78

25 magic towers located throughout the kingdom.

And dozens of large branches.

Endymion’s warp gates, which were as dense and organically connected as a spider’s web, were meticulously managed by their hands.

It has to be.

It was because the Warp Gate was a door that could jump through space with just a few leaps and reach all parts of the kingdom at once.

If it is passed on to an enemy spy or a person with a disquieting purpose, there is plenty of room for it to be used for terrorism or invasion beyond abuse.

That’s why the central government of Endymion also chose to manage the Warp Gates under the Mage Tower.

The one who caught Russell’s steps was the mage belonging to the Mage Tower that manages the warp gate.

“Sir Russell Raymond.”

Averral Tower.

The wizard in charge of the 1st floor of the Yellow Tower located near the Nadia Desert opened his mouth while checking Russell’s ID card, which stopped by to use the warp gate.

“This is a mission order from the royal capital and the lord of the tower.”

As a War Mage belonging to the Tower of Flames, it was only natural that he would have to leave if his mission fell.

However, it is a somewhat sudden mission. So Russell tilted his head.

‘Mission order?’

Those of the 5th and 6th circles, often called magicians, were even treated as weapons of war in one country.

As such, local warfare, escort, or assassination of key figures.

The difficulty of the mission was also much higher than that of other wizards.

But it’s a mission order.

‘During this time, was there anything that would have caused a 6th Circle mage to go on a mission?’

A wizard belonging to the Yellow Tower handed over an order to Russell, who was carefully searching for his memories before returning.

A written order with a Flaming Rose Gate and a Flare Rose clearly marked as a dedication.

The mage of the Yellow Tower, who handed over the order, added as if he had been waiting.

“This is an order from five days ago. The withdrawal order has not been issued otherwise, so it will still be in effect.”

Nod your head moderately.

Tuduk-.

Russell, who opened the dedication with his skillful hands, checked the contents of the order.

It was not difficult to find out the contents as it was written in a simple and clear order.

‘It’s a subjugation mission.’

A simple mission where all you have to do is head to a specific area, defeat the target written in the order, and return.

The problem is that the target to subdue is not easy.

‘A normal subjugation mission would be to subdue a village of monsters, bandits, or bandits, but-.’

As much as the 6th circle top master level mage had to move, the target of the subjugation was also of a different rank.

「Western part of the Kingdom, Earl Reinkel Swamp and Hydra.」

Summarize only the key words and see through the contents of the order. When I checked the contents, there was an incident that came to mind.

‘Come to think of it, it must have been around this time.’

Around the time when there was less than a year left until he returned.

I heard a rumor that a hydra appeared from the west of the kingdom and was subdued.

At that time, the wizard who made a name for himself by subjugating the Hydra was…

‘The death penalty was Vermillion.’

However, because the history has changed in small ways through the regression, the subjugation that Vermillion should have taken came to him.

If he had not received the order by the appointed date, it was likely that the mission would have gone back to Vermillion Ulsen as in history.

‘hmm.’

Russell muttered to himself, recalling the memories before returning.

‘Is there less than a year left?’

Since I regressed the time between about 7 and 8 years, if I calculate the time I spent back, it has already happened.

Leaving the thought of having lived a very busy life behind for a while, Russell checked the contents of the order again.

It is notable that several names are written below the brief summary of the mission.

Hydra.

As the formidable monster was the subject of subjugation, a list of those who would subdue together had been drawn up.

Russell’s eyes quickly scan the roster.

‘uh?’

Russell noticed the familiar name and let out a smile.

It is said that Alan Page was included in the list of wizards dispatched to assist him.

‘Alan Page, the 5th Circle Mage.’

If my memory serves me right, it was around this time that rumors began to spread that Alan Page had made it to the 6th Circle.

The time when he reached the 5th circle was faster than the future he knew.

That’s why I wondered if the 6th circle would go up faster than planned-.

‘But it’s still the 5th circle.’

Was there something that happened that I didn’t know about?

Thinking so, Russell asked.

I wondered why Alan hadn’t reached the 6th circle yet, but what I had to focus on now was the mission.

“Did you say this order came five days ago?”

“yes? Yes…”

The wizard of the Yellow Tower nodded in surprise at Russell’s sudden question.

If the mission started as soon as the

‘five days…’ order came down, the other wizards on the list would have already arrived at Count Reinkel.

‘I must move quickly.’

After finishing the letter, Russell moved towards the floor where the warp gate was located.

The destination was not the royal capital, but the magic tower closest to the Reinkel county.

* * *

Rain has been pouring down since dawn. A gloomy fog covered the walls of the castle in an eerie way.

“after-.”

Count Reinkell sighed quietly as he checked the scene through the window on the spire.

Could it be because of the water droplets on the window? The distorted view of the city is projected onto his retina.

Even at dawn, it is a city that seems to have been abandoned with little sense of vitality.

It has to be.

It was after all the villagers near the wall were evacuated to the rear.

The only thing left is the knights who follow him and the soldiers to stop the Hydra.

Even from them, they were full of exhaustion-.

‘Even just a month ago, it was a place overflowing with life…’

Even though it’s a periphery, the Earl Reinkell was a fairly affluent city.

First of all, there was not only a wide grain belt, but also water flowed in from the nearby huge swamp, so there was no shortage of water.

Every fall, about three-thirds of the county was covered in gold, so there was no need to explain the yield.

In addition, a large city also existed within the Reinkel county.

Of course, it was not comparable to the big city located in the center of the kingdom, but it was still a city that had several good markets.

Out of the six nearby territories, there was only one big city.

‘I thought that such peace would last forever…’

It was only a month ago that the peace was broken.

At some point, the grains planted in the granary area began to rot and the people of the region began to suffer.

It didn’t take long to realize that the cause was the water flowing from the swamp.

‘A hydra built a nest in a swamp out of nowhere.’

The water source was polluted because of the venom from the hydra.

Hydra.

It was a monster often described as a dragon in mythology.

I don’t know if it’s still a young entity.

Hydra, which has grown to a certain extent, reigns as a tyrant and commands the monsters in the area.

Hydra was a monster with powerful power that could never be subdued with the power of the border counts.

So, it was only a few days ago that the wizards who received the subjugation mission arrived when they requested help from the royal capital to subdue the monsters.

Could the nearby human city have been an annoyance?

‘I never thought the Hydra side would launch a preemptive strike…’

It was the story of just two days ago that the Hydra rushed towards the castle wall with the army of monsters.

Some of the walls collapsed at the time have not yet been fully restored.

What if, in this situation, you get attacked by the hydra again?

It was clear that the walls would collapse. Through that gap, the army of monsters he commanded would pour in.

“Hydra… what about him?”

In response to the Count’s question, several knights recited reports they had received around dawn.

“Since returning to the swamp, it hasn’t shown any significant movement yet.”

“It’s probably because of the damage I received from Sir Alan at the time.”

The fortunate thing is that Hydra retreated due to the offensive of the magicians led by Alan Page.

“Should I call this fortunate out of misfortune?”

Receiving the report, the count muttered weakly. Then he continued sweeping the wall with a dark gaze and asked.

“How is Sir Alan’s condition?”

“Not good.”

The old driver who answered first dropped his gaze and shook his head.

“Because while blocking the hydra’s breath head-on, it covered its miasma considerably. Even suffering from a high fever, it is to the point of being able to endure it.”

“You must live.”

Chewing and spitting out the words, the Count clenched his fists tightly.

It wasn’t simply because he was a disciple of the window tower lord and the second son of the great lord, the Countess of Page.

Regardless of such political reasons, the lord definitely wanted to save Alan Page.

That would be true, too, because if Alan Page hadn’t stopped the hydra’s breath, its breath would have been directed to the territories who were evacuating intact.

“Isn’t Sir Alan the one who saved the lives of our people?”

If it wasn’t for him, hundreds of thousands of villagers would have melted away in the miasma!

“Even animals must know grace. However, if you pretend not to know even though you are blessed, how is it different from a monster that has been covered with a pharynx?”

The old knight replied with a firm expression to the words of the count who had been serving him for a long time.

“…I will do my best.”

Because he too was sincere in wanting to save Alan.

It was then.

Woo-woo-.

Suddenly, a horn sounded.

The sound of horns bursting through the still silence could be heard coming from the side of the broken gate.

“What is this?”

The Count was startled by the sudden sound and shouted.

I heard someone running quickly.

Jump up and down!

A soldier pushed open the door and jumped inside.

Then, not realizing that his breath was caught up to the tip of his chin, he shouted.

“They have arrived too!”

Seeing that, one of the knights next to the Count burst into a roar.

“How dare you know where you are and commit rudeness…?!”

But his cries didn’t go any further. It must have been because the report of the soldier who jumped out immediately blocked his mouth.

“Rel-Rel-Rell Russell Raymond has just arrived!”

Containing the meaning of morning star, he was given the title of Shin Seong-gong (晨星公) from the royal family.

The youngest 6th circle wizard in the kingdom.

Russell Raymond.

It was the moment he joined the Earl of Reinkel.
