Episode 190
“So… I don’t think you need to worry about the Far East portal anymore.”
The old man bowed his head towards the man who was looking out the window with his hands behind his back. Behind the throne, the windows that seemed to be 10 meters tall were drawing out distant scenery.
As for how far away the scenery is, it should be said that the world seen through the arched gothic windows seems to be looking down from the sky.
But the sun-soaked man gazed at the world beneath the invisible window as if he were looking down at it, while silently lowering his gaze as if it were a fairly old hobby.
The fact that such an aspect of him showed even a hint of youth was probably enough to make those who knew this audience room have a lot of doubts.
Of course, this Constellation in the Sky is located at the innermost part of the Wall of Glory, the only innermost point that can only be reached after passing through the seven outer walls of Regendartyr, the capital of the Imperial Khan.
It was because even Hildebrigne de Garcia, the father of the empire and the crown prince, was not a place where he could come and go as he pleased, as if he were at his own house.
“You must have figured it out. Jim is not foolish enough to dare to disagree with the Father’s own initiative.”
“This is what you said to me.”
Nod!
When the blonde man turned around, Hilde Brynew bent her waist with her hands together. The interior of the wall, which seemed to be studded with blue sapphires, shone coldly behind the midday sun.
An old wizard who has lived for over 300 years and one of the five swords of the empire, he is the only one who bows down.
The undisputed master of the world who governs the Regendartyr and the Khan of the Empire, and sits on the throne in the sky.
Even though he was only 30 years old, he was the only man with the name and blood of Walcroft on the continent of Arcia, who had defeated numerous strife and political strife.
“Since the Leafre Merchant didn’t expand their business across the sea, all that remains is the South.”
“Yes, Your Majesty. Of course, even that is mostly being sorted out.”
Hildebrynne nodded while Adelecia, who had been looking endlessly out the window, sat on the throne.
The figure of the old man located under the dan (壇) looked like he was facing a saint or a god at first glance.
Of course, it was because it was a constellation in the sky that seemed to be closer to the sky than the ground.
It could be said that it was because the man of two legs, wrapped in silky white light, was emitting an aura that would not be outdone even by Sword Masters and Arch Mages.
Of course, the fact that he knelt at the foot of the altar and did not prostrate was the same as impossibility in this audience room.
Although this crystal hall boasted an external barrier strong enough to be able to look around with a smile even if Meteor were to fall.
It was because internally, there was a magic so powerful that it was impossible to endure without kneeling before the owner of the constellation.
“Thanks to that, the job was easy. It is encouraging that the North was quickly cleared up by the quick response of the six Churches, including Selenis… As soon as this matter is finished, I will congratulate you for your contributions. In any case, it is true that Aldeon Fortress has been able to breathe because of them.”
“It is true that this old man did not have to step.”
“They deserve congratulations for not being personally attended by the Father. The weight of the imperial sword is not light, even if it is the Selenis Church that serves Arya.”
As Hildebrinho straightened her bent back, Adelecia gathered her hands together and said.
Although his words were arrogant, the fact that they were not wrong was something that all the subjects of the empire could nod their heads at.
Although the Leafre Merchant Corps, which was expanding the establishment of warp gates across the continent, had to open a terrible gate of hell called the twisted dimension.
As a result, they had to bear the human loss of countless human casualties and half-destruction of ancient sites with history.
It was an open fact enough for everyone to know that it was done with the support of the Imperial Khan and Adelecia.
Even after the twisted dimensional gate was opened, world leaders and the countries that made up the main part of the international peace treaty did not even issue a statement.
It was a self-evident fact that it was not even worth discussing for those who could think a little.
It was a common logic of strong self-esteem.
Otherwise, there would be no way the Leafre Merchant Army would be able to set up warp gates all over the continent, and there would be no way that the countries of the world would be silent and move in unison to protect peace on the continent.
Of course, not only because the Empire behind it—or it would not be an exaggeration to say that it was a predecessor—the Leafre Merchant Corps decided to pay all the expenses to clear the twisted portal.
Adelezia also rarely expressed her strong will to close the dimensional gate by moving the five swords that protect the empire, so there was no feeling that she had been passed over.
Even if there was dissatisfaction, it would not be an exaggeration to say that virtually no place to point a sword at the Empire and Adelecia existed.
“Sir Isaac has suffered quite a bit this time. That friend is a friend who likes to be condescending rather than suffering, so I guess it wasn’t a bad choice in the end, as long as the words of Sir Isaac came out of Sir Isaac’s mouth.”
“That guy, isn’t he the one who pays for my meal on his own?”
“ha ha ha. Right?”
“If it wasn’t so, it would be embarrassing to call it the sword of the empire. If…”
“No, no. Sometimes that friend should also have a day to pay respect. Wouldn’t it be cramped if you just squeezed it?”
So, when Adelezia waved her hand and smiled at Hildebrigne, who had a transparent gaze, it wasn’t just a bland gesture that was just a pretense.
Just as he said to Hildebrigne something like a joke.
So, as Damian predicted, the difficulty of the portal in the middle continent would be significantly lower than anywhere else.
The power of the empire turned the central portal, which boasts a much higher level of difficulty than the southern one, into a beginner dungeon.
“Tell me a little more about the East. It’s because I’m sick of staying here alone.”
smile!
Before long, the walls of Adelecia were buried in the narrowed eyes and disappeared.

“Please take a look.”
Hildebrynne came out of the constellation in the sky and walked toward the magic circle in the center of the hall. The knights in white armor stood on either side of the throne room’s gate and bowed their heads toward him, who was moving away without an inch of error.
However, it could be said that the reason why Hildebrinyu moved on without saying anything in spite of the Emperor Knights’ salute was because something that touched his heart was wriggling.
“…”
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
As Hildebrinho passed the warp magic circle in the center of the hall and went through several more magic circles again, the scenery around him changed rapidly every second, and it began to collapse to the point where it was impossible to recognize the shape.
It was like a landscape of colorful clay mixed at will.
However, soon after that landscape becomes a purple transparent sea of mirrors, and as soon as he steps on, the sea of mirrors piles up arbitrarily and composes the space.
It could be said that the place where Hildebrigne was standing turned into a huge hall reminiscent of the Cologne Cathedral in Germany was a momentary event that happened in the blink of an eye.
“That’s strange.”
And Hildebrynue’s dry voice echoed in the great hall.
“Those who know that place are no longer in this world. Even more so, the name and language also became a wind that has nowhere to go and no longer remains in this era. Who is there…?”
Woo woo woo!
When Hildebrinho spread out his hand like an old tree, the floor of the hall changed completely. The floor of the hall, transparent like a mirror, reflected various scenes according to his will.
As if watching a hologram, numerous fragments of images appear and disappear quickly, repeating themselves.
Even more so, considering that the subject of that gaze was not too general, at first glance, the image Hildebrigne looked down on seemed to project that of animals and plants spread across the entire continent.
Either way, it was by no means mediocre memorization.
“Hmm… an adventurer from another world. Was it like that?”
When Hildebrinho’s open palm was squeezed, the floor of the hall hid the light as if it had never been. It was at the same time that Nogu’s eyes closed with his hands behind his back.
However, the fact that the same kind of image as the floor of the hall is being quickly put together in Hildebrigne’s head is a level that is difficult to even guess unless the person in question.
“It’s not enough that the star that she is wary of, the black star, has reborn… Did the evil star that followed that progress obtain even the forgotten star? This is kind of interesting.”
Nod!
And at the same time, Hildebrinho realized what had been bothering him throughout the audience with the emperor.
Even though the star of a hero he had erased for hundreds of years fell into the hands of the evil spirit.
He ended his appreciation with just a nod of his head without even a change in his expression.
It was a bizarre, if bizarre, understanding.
It was natural for a normal person to vomit a response, whether it be anger or lamentation, the moment hundreds of years of painstaking work went to waste.
“Everything is as it should be.”
Woo woo woo!
Before long, the floor of the hall began to change completely again.
“The reverse of Heaven. The main body that shines the light changes its orbit and attracts the stars around it arbitrarily. The fact that the stars will be caught up in turbulence must be an irresistible fate unless you can escape from the stars.”
“However, it must be a self-inflicted pestilence that even the stars themselves are unaware that they will also be a great burden to the stars.”
“Even though the fate of the world was grasped from the Black Star…”
“Maybe it was from the old heart that the things of the past might repeat?”
Hildebrigne looked down at the floor of the hall and muttered to herself. The bottom of the transparent mirror suddenly contained the universe instead of numerous fragments.
However, even among the tens of millions of stars and star clusters that fill the universe, Hildebrigne’s gaze is just like a stone somewhere in the galaxy.
So Hildebrigne stares at the far-off sea of stars, which is unknown even what the culprit is looking at.
It was not difficult to read that its movement was the unnatural movement of the entire planetary system, emanating from the will of the stars.
Reversal of Heaven.
It was because of the abnormal movement that he called it a reversal when he saw the planetary system increasing its orbital speed.
“What are you so afraid of? Arya.”
widely!
Soon after, with Hildebrinyu’s words, the huge hall of mirrors swallowed the light in an instant.
