Sang-woo woke up and tilted his head as he found the Marquis Verschael next to Raven and Nigel.
-But who is he?
-Greetings. He is the Marquis of Verschael.
-iced coffee. You seem to be a tall person. hello.
Sang-woo bowed his head and said hello.
– …Nice to meet you. Marquis of Verschael.
The Marquis of Berschael looks at Sang-woo, who is greeted with a smile.
‘…strong?’
He was feeling a surprise inside.
His magic level is a 9th class user.
The overwhelming mana in Sang-woo’s body, caught by the feeling he spread, was truly ignorant.
‘…At least Grand Sword Master.’
It seemed that the disciple of the imperial sword that was said to be in Raven’s territory was that man.
And his guess was right.
-It seems like a first meeting. This is my disciple Jeong Sang-woo.
Raven formally introduced Sang-woo to Marquis Bershael.
-As expected… I felt strong, but he was a disciple of the Empire’s guardian sword.
-exactly. It’s a blessing I got in my later years.
– Ugh. Master, why are you so gross?
Sang-woo trembled and was fed up with Raven’s strange words.
‘…but it’s more sensible than I thought. Is he a weak-willed person?’
That disrespectful appearance made the Marquis of Berschael ponder whether he should lower his evaluation of Sang-woo.
However, in the conversation that followed, the Marquis of Verschael had to completely revise this judgment.
-By the way, I heard you came to investigate something. Did the solution go well?
When Sang-woo asked, Nigel answered.
– Hmm, I don’t know. It seems that I escaped the situation, but it seems that a bigger evil has hit me, and it seems that it does not.
Then he looked at Raven.
It was the same with the Marquis of Berschael.
Because he too is now in a position to board the same boat.
And Raven opened her mouth to Nigel’s gaze.
– Don’t worry, it’s worked out. house owner.
Because it was in front of the Marquis of Berschael, an outsider, Raven called Nigel up and said.
-Is there a way, bro?
-The way… It’s not here.
Raven looked at Sang-woo and said.
Then everyone looked at him.
Sang-woo is slightly taken aback when their eyes gather.
-Me? Why am I?
-That’s what I mean…
Raven told me everything.
That he had a conversation with the emperor.
In the process, the sin of treason was not asked.
Instead, they had to carry out the orders requested by the emperor.
That order is to retrieve the lost Frost Star.
And that the point where the Frost Star disappeared was outside the barrier.
-…So you’re asking me to find the Frost Star that was lost outside the barrier back in the day? The sword is probably near the damned sentinel.
-yes.
– Wow, that’s great.
Sang-woo grinned.
-Just go and bring George and you’re done.
Sangwoo’s confident words.
Raven laughed at the disciple’s words.
Nigel felt relieved at that.
But the Marquis of Verschael thought to himself.
‘…Am I crazy?’
It wasn’t long before he confirmed Sang-woo’s confidence.

The secret workshop at the Visual Heritage Headquarters.
Dubert was working hard on the machine while wearing strange glasses.
Tadak, tadak-
Whenever his hands flashed back and forth on the hologram keyboard, the numbers and log details floating on the hologram display floating in the air changed rapidly.
At that time, Sang-woo’s alter ego stood still next to Duvert.
The clone’s eyes came into focus.
Sang-woo was connected.
‘Let’s see. How old is it?’
He had seen Duvert working and disconnected while leaving his alter ego behind.
Apparently, there were a lot of things to pay attention to in Odin’s Tower and Raven’s Territory, and there was a limit on the number of clones that could be connected at the same time.
So, I was checking in from time to time to check the progress of the work.
‘to. It’s still like that.’
Sang-woo was slightly disappointed.
In fact, I was working the same way before I disconnected a few hours ago.
‘It takes a very long time.’
He held back a yawn from beside him.
In fact, the work environment was not very fun.
It was not at all like the Dwarf he had imagined, Deuber, holding a dragon heart in his hand and finishing processing in an instant.
On the contrary, Dubert was working with all his might and meticulously, as if he needed extreme caution.
‘What did he say? Mecha Mana Technology and so on and so on. I can’t even remember the name.’
The dragon heart was in a state of being inside a huge mechanical device, and it was being processed here and there by a mechanical device that fired lasers inside a transparent case that looked like a glass tube.
From Sang-woo’s eyes, it seemed that something like runes were engraved on the surface of a super-fine size that was invisible to the naked eye.
‘I don’t know if those runes are correct.’
Anyway, metaphysical characters are engraved on micro-sized units.
Something like a strange raw material was injected into the case through mechanical devices.
Then, the outer surface of the dragon heart seemed to become soft.
It changed from a hard jewel to a jelly-like form.
“Oh, it has changed.”
When Sang-woo admired it, Deubert, who was absorbed in the work, said a word.
“You just broke the bonding structure. The dragon heart itself has a perfect structure and is difficult to process. That’s why they are loosening the bonding structure with a special method.”
“Aha…”
Sangwoo nodded, though he didn’t understand what he was talking about.
Pretending to understand, I asked a question.
“So, are you almost done?”
“No. I’m going to mix the mithril undiluted solution into that combined structure to increase mana conductivity and apply heat treatment to liquefy the structure a bit more. Then, after using the mana compression method to increase the mana content…”
Dubert pours out alien terms.
Sang-woo heard it with one ear and let it out with the other.
‘It’s going to take a long time anyway.’
In case you didn’t know, Duvert’s words were recorded with smart goggles.
‘Because there might be something I can use later.’
Sang-woo disconnected after ordering his alter ego to carefully look at the work environment and memorize it.
Because there are so many things to worry about besides this place.
* * *
Downtown Seoul.
Representative office of JM Agency located in Gangnam.
There were three men in it.
“Now this is it.”
Kang Jun-mo handed over an envelope to the table.
Inside was a bracelet and several papers.
“This is the requested resident registration copy and identity bracelet.”
“Oh, that’s really fast.”
Sang-woo admired.
Previously, he had asked Kang Jun-mo for help to help Prince Hardin settle down on Earth.
As part of that, he initially asked to create an identity, but it was quickly processed.
“haha. It’s not really illegal.”
“Oh yeah? I thought it would be difficult.”
“You know. After the cataclysm, there were a lot of refugees, so we decided to just apply for refugee acceptance.”
“Oh, doesn’t that take a long review period? I heard that the fortress is tricky because there are many refugees who come in with impure intentions.”
“Ayy, this is all.”
Kang Jun-mo grinned and drew a circle with his thumb and index finger.
It meant that it was solved with money.
Sang-woo exclaimed with an expression of appreciation.
“You are also the representative. This is why I believe.”
“ha ha ha. What. By the way, you said your real name was Hardin Urencia, right? The name registration here was done as Hardin Urencia. My last name is Urensia, and my name is Hardin. Please check and sign.”
Kang Jun-mo handed over the documents.
However, there is no way Prince Hardin can check the documents in Korean.
Sang-woo explained each letter.
“This is a castle. This part is the name field. This is in English, but it says Hardin and Urencia well. And this place…”
After that explanation was over.
Prince Hardin, who had even signed the confirmation documents, had a somewhat flustered expression on his face.
‘Now I’m really living on Earth.’
that he had the identity of the earth.
It meant that from now on, he would live as an ordinary earthling, not as a prince of the Urentian Empire.
I couldn’t help but feel relieved, but on the other hand, my heart was heavy.
‘sorry. father.’
The emperor of Urencia, who was an ugly emperor.
But it was clear that the ugly man was also his father.
Hardin loved such a father.
I’ve never been able to express myself properly.
And he, who should continue the legitimacy of the Urencia Empire, was officially incorporated as an earthling.
Now, the path to the revival of the Urencia Empire was gone.
‘…if I give up.’
However, Prince Hardin made a promise.
I don’t know now, but someday in the future, I will definitely return to the planet Tibern.
Unlike now, when he was a fugitive, he said he would enter the country confidently then.
With that promise, Hardin lifted his identity bracelet and put it on his left wrist.
Clap –
An identity bracelet that is integrated with the wrist so that it fits tightly and does not feel like it is worn.
The feeling of the cold metal soon assimilated with the body temperature and quickly disappeared.
As if the existence of Prince Hardin melted into the earth.
And Sang-woo looking at Prince Hardin like that.
‘He’s unnecessarily serious.’
Looking at Hardin’s spleen expression, Sangwoo thought it was a bit funny.
-thank you.
“Ah what?”
Kang Jun-mo shakes his hand at Hardin’s thanks.
“Thank you for always. CEO.”
“no. I am truly grateful. Then, I will take this document and process it right away.”
“yep.”
“And the person in charge said that the identity bracelet may not be authenticated because there is time for documents to be received and registered on the server. Please refrain from entering places that require authentication for a few days.”
-all right.
“yes. all right. Thanks for your efforts. CEO.”
After greeting each other, the two returned to Sang-woo’s mansion in Yongsan through the space opened by Sang-woo.
Swoop-
The two arrived in Hardin’s room.
Sangwoo looked at Hardin and asked.
“Hey, Prince. No Mr. Hardin. Identification registration is over. Welcome to Earth.”
-…thank you.
Hardin smiled faintly as if he couldn’t be too happy.
“no way. don’t be too sad what is life Just having fun.”
-haha. is that so.
“Anyway, since I officially became a global citizen, or a Korean, let’s have a party. What do you want to eat?”
– Um… no.
“no? Oh you don’t know Then we grill meat in the yard.”
-If it’s meat… Are you referring to that Samgiyovsar?
“yes. Pork belly.”
“ah…. great.”
Hardin involuntarily swallowed his mouth and answered.
Seeing that, Sangwoo smiled.
‘It’s cute.’
It was Sang-woo who thought that he had a younger brother.
Although in reality Hardin was older.

The first floor of Odin’s Tower.
extreme zone.
An earthquake suddenly occurred there.
Ku-gu-gu-gu-gu-!!!
As the floor shook with the impact, Samas, the leader of the Alava raid, sounded a warning to everyone.
“Everyone gather!”
At her cry, the raiding party quickly gathered around her.
After confirming that everyone was gathered, Samath took out something like a marble from his bosom and threw it.
Swirling-
The marble quickly expanded and became a huge spherical tube.
“Go in!”
“yes!”
There was a hole in the tube, and the raiding party members went into it one by one.
After making sure that everyone is entering, Samas tries to close the opening of the hole in the tube.
But there was one person standing outside.
It was Sang-woo’s alter ego.
“Come in!”
Samath screamed.
However, the alter ego did not move.
Instead, I screamed at them.
“It’s okay! Come out!”
