#807. I have something to warn you about.
* * *
“I’ll ask you to confirm.”
“What do you mean?”
It’s old-fashioned for a building.
Too vivid to be relics.
A large circular space made of stones.
As soon as he appeared on the other side, he sat down on the bleachers and looked at the old man wearing a top hat who patted his waist.
Limon asked quietly.
“Your inspiration? The robbery of this violin that was buried in Tartarus.”
“Isn’t it?”
“No?”
“That’s right. I went out for a walk and just picked up something that someone had thrown away. Wouldn’t it be unfair to call it robbery with something like that?”
If you put it that way, even the old man who picks up waste paper as a pastime becomes a thief.
An old man who protests earnestly.
Limon looked with cold eyes.
This deep black violin was sealed in Tartarus by Muse after Shera committed suicide.
It is said that ordinary people entered the underground labyrinth, where they had to risk their lives just to enter, unsealed the god, and stole the divine object.
It was not light enough to be compared to simply picking up waste paper.
But Limon didn’t bother to point that out.
Instead, he just asked,
“Why did you just hand over the item you picked up to me?”
“Did I tell you? I want you to hear me play it someday when I can handle that violin perfectly.”
“Is that all the reason?”
“Isn’t that obvious?”
Do you need any more reasons than that?
Looking at the old man talking calmly.
Limon was sure.
I don’t know anything else about this old man, but to be brazen, he must be a hard-headed man who is hard to find a mate in the world.
Well, that’s why I was able to entrust the violin to Limon and Li Ching-yu naturally, not to anyone else.
So, Limon stopped looking at the liver and asked directly.
“Then I’d like to ask one last question… Why did you bring me to this situation?”
“Ho, did you notice?”
“I can’t help but know.”
Limon snorted.
After learning that the violin is a Seven Arcs.
Li Qingyu mobilized all the information power of the Black Dragon Clan to visit the old man.
It was because they thought that the old man with the deep-black violin might know information they didn’t know. Even so
, it was this old man who had not even seen his hair,
whether he had risen into the sky or had gone down to the ground .
It was absurd to be caught by the government that was far behind in terms of intelligence.
So, Limon asserted.
“Isn’t the fact that the Blue House found out that we were looking for you in the first place because you leaked information there yourself?”
“Hehehehe, you’re smart as expected.”
Limon frowned as he saw the old man affirming with an airy laugh.
After all, they didn’t find it.
I just accepted the old man’s invitation.
It was a shame for the Black Dragon clan.
However, there was another reason why Limon frowned.
“What I don’t understand is why you did this.”
“Why, strange chaff?”
“It’s not strange.”
I would have been able to understand if the old man had worked with the World Federation to set a trap.
Namajik muttered.
Add a word.
“Even though you know you’re going to die if you meet me.”
The reason why the old man was able to evade the pursuit of the Black Dragon Clan and deceive Li Mon himself and Li Qingyu’s eyes.
The secret that has occasionally appeared in the history of the past hundreds of years, and the reason that Li Mon kept staring at him sharply.
his true identity.
Limon put it in his mouth coldly.
“The Black Mage Man.”
* * *
The Dark Swordsman.
A black magician who has risen to the same level as the great witch saint.
they were special.
Whether it’s in terms of being able to use magic that’s easier and more powerful than a great witch or an adult.
Even so, in the end, it is in that it has never been able to become a true absolute in history.
It was unavoidable.
No matter how much magic they reach, they are warlocks.
It was because he was an existence that had no choice but to become an open enemy of the world, as much as he ate human sacrifices, using other humans as sacrifices for his magic.
That’s why warlocks had to be good at hiding their identity and running away more than anything else.
In particular, the black wizard who reached the peak was an existence that could become a ghost as much as he wanted.
Even Sergei, who was the head of the Revolutionary Army, didn’t even know that he was a dark wizard until he resurrected the demon.
“Heulheul, you speak so cruelly.”
“It’s not right for me to say things I don’t mean.”
So it was.
From the time we met until now.
The reason why Limon was holding the sword while looking at the old man with cold eyes.
After committing all sorts of wicked things, the black magician who brought demons down and devastated Europe was more than the Seven Dragons, an existence incompatible with him.
Especially after he defeated the Dark Dawn.
In that sense, this moment.
The act of the old man who appeared in front of Limon was tantamount to sticking his head into the jaws of a tiger.
Still, the old man wasn’t particularly nervous.
I just grinned.
“Hee hee, don’t be so sharp. I called you because I wanted to talk to you.”
“Then answer my question first.”
“If you talk about it from the beginning, it’s very complicated.”
“Don’t be silly, old man. It’s the same for you and me, the only thing left is time.”
“Hmm, then I can’t help it.”
As if thinking about where to start talking.
The old man scratching his chin opened his mouth a moment later.
“As you may have guessed, I am originally from the Dark Dawn.”
“Because cockroaches tend to gather in garbage cans.”
“Don’t misunderstand me. I’ve lived a good life.”
“Warlock? Nice?”
It was as if I had heard that pigs were flying in the sky.
Seeing Limon, who was blatantly ridiculing him, the old man was serious.
“Uh huh, is that true? Unlike the other kids, he only chose death row inmates or vicious criminals for sacrifices.”
“Are you afraid you will go to hell when you die?”
“No, it’s because I don’t want to die.”
“…”
“Cause and effect go round and round, and nothing is as expensive as free.”
Warlocks can easily and quickly become stronger up to a certain level by using sacrifices, but bad karma accumulates that much.
The more you commit evil.
Enemies and foes multiply.
No matter how strong you become, you will one day be subjugated by someone who surpasses even that power.
Even the Dark Dawn Society, which had just completed the magic of the Demon God, couldn’t overcome the wall of an absolute being named Limon.
That’s why he said he lived a long and thin life.
Listen to what the old man said with a smirk.
Limon spoke after silence.
“That’s why you’re so dirty a warlock.”
“Heulheul, the most important thing for a warlock is his own desire.”
Perhaps, if it hadn’t happened, he would have lived so quietly that even after hundreds and thousands of years passed, he wouldn’t even know Limon existed.
After saying it like a joke.
The old man added a word.
“It’s thanks to him that I was able to find this violin.”
32 years, no 33 years ago.
The Iron Age opens.
When dungeons and constellations appeared.
The old man, who happened to be traveling in the Holy League, saw a star falling from the sky.
And to satisfy his own curiosity, he searched the place where the stars fell and found the Violin of Darkness in Tartarus.
It was possible because he was a black wizard who had reached the peak of magic, but he had plenty of time.
“But things got messy from then on.”
“Twisted?”
“Yeah, I guess I’m being chased by kids who are aiming for this violin.”
I lived a quiet life without making enemies for a long time with the motto of being thin and long.
The old man let out a big smile as he recalled the past, when he was systematically pursued out of nowhere like lightning in a dry sky.
“I can’t even remember how many times I almost died thanks to that.”
“A nobleman like you?”
“That’s how persistent they were.”
I’ve been in more dangers in the past 33 years than in my entire life.
Looking at the old man shaking his head.
Limon narrowed his eyes.
“Why did you run away without handing over the violin?
“I wanted to do that like a chimney, but… while being chased by them, I figured out what kind of stuff it was.”
Just what kind of thing is this violin, why the unknown guys are aiming for it so persistently.
Examining the violin.
Capturing and interrogating pursuers.
After diligent investigation, he finally found out.
He said that the power of the stars resided within them, and that if he were deprived of it, terrible tribulation would come.
“Even though this is all about living, if the world collapses because of constellations, won’t I die in the end too?”
“…You managed to figure that out.”
“There’s no way the proper guys would move stealthily behind the scenes like that.”
You can tell by looking at the dirty things behind.
Without even hearing about the constellation from the Fairy Queen.
The black wizard, who was able to reach the truth on his own because he was used to doubting everything, using it, and plotting bad things, said with a smirk.
“I told you above all, nothing is free in this world.”
“What did you say?”
“Even the gods get paid for their faith, and the Constellations that give out skills and all for free cannot be proper beings.”
“Like you gave me this violin for free, like dropping a bomb, right?”
“Draw, like that.”
“…”
I didn’t want to say the right thing about the black magician, so I shot a word.
The old man grinned at Limon, who was at a loss for words at such an audacious answer.
“Honestly, I was able to live thanks to you. I was just thinking about what to do because running away was the limit.”
“I should have asked for help sooner than that.”
“Is there anyone who can help the warlock ask for help? Rather, it would be fortunate if he didn’t try to kill him.”
“…”
“Isn’t that the case with you right now?”
What the old man said with a smile.
He didn’t deny Limon.
Instead, he just asked softly
. If you’ve taken care of it thoroughly, why did
you reveal your identity now?” “There’s something I need to warn you about.”
“A warning?”
“Yes.” Limon made
a puzzled expression.
“Rani, it’s literally what a mouse thinks of a cat.
But the old man wasn’t too sad.
As if it was a natural reaction
. He just nodded . ”
I heard it.”
“…You were the one who organized the 5 Gulags in the west.” “Even
if it was a plan that had nothing to do with me, I had to at least take responsibility as a body that had a foot in the Dark Dawn.
” After
muttering quietly ,
the old man continued,
“The problem is that part of the legacy of the Dark Dawn passed to the World Federation
in the meantime .” Did you take it?”
Limon sneered.
The legacy of the Dark Dawn Society is obviously a vicious and dangerous thing, but the most dangerous thing is, after all, the magic of demons.
Having fought demons three times already, there is no reason to feel threatened even though he is wary. But
…
“It’s worse than that. What they took is data on the means to kill you.”
“What nonsense is that?”
“It’s not nonsense. Did you forget? The Dark Dawn Society is an organization that researched how to kill you as hard as the Seven Dragons.” “….” “Above all,
you
yourself know the best way, right?” At
that moment Limon’s face hardened,
as he had heard the old man’s meaningful words, and
something
came
to
his mind
. The old man erased his smile and looked at Limon with a very serious face.
The
old man
said heavily,
”
They’ve already started moving.”
Even as he watched the old man’s body slowly crumble, Limon wasn’t surprised.
Like a cunning black wizard, he knew from the beginning that the old man had never revealed his body. He
could have climbed over this doll and cut the body, but…
Limon didn’t dare. “I’ll tell you one last thing
,
you better be careful with the
Constellations
. ”
They are beings belonging to the providence of the world, but they are beings outside of the providence at all.”
The spirit obeys the providence.
The god creates the providence
. The dragon twists the providence.
The sword master cuts
the providence. They are beings that erode the world. The
more their power spreads throughout the world, the more dangerous the providence itself becomes.
As a black wizard who goes against the providence, he has studied the power of the stars contained in the Seven Arcs for decades, so he was able to find this advice. After
looking at the old man whose placenta had already disappeared with sunken eyes,
Limon opened his mouth,
“I want to ask you something instead of the price of life.” “What
do you mean?”
The moment he heard that question,
the old man fell silent.
Until
his arms, legs, and
torso were scattered in order, leaving only his head. .
“―Loqui ad Circen (Deliver to Circe).”
“….”
“I non oderunt eam.”
Crisp.
Even the sound of laughter in the wind.
Without the dialect of unknown nationality, which was born from learning all kinds of languages for a long time.
Unlike before, he left only a few words in clean, elegant, and archaic Latin.
Limon, who was silently looking at the empty seat of the old man who eventually disappeared into dust, nodded slowly.
“…I see, was that him?”
A person who has seen and experienced all the countless places and times spread out in this barrier centered on the Colosseum.
In return for gaining immortality.
deprived of one’s destiny
Instead, she obtained at least a portion of the fate of the half-human, half-god archwitch, and reached the pinnacle of black magic with that power.
For thousands of years from the Silver Age to the present day, it has never been revealed in the foreground of history.
Faust’s teacher.
As a member of the Dark Dawn.
A dark wizard who has lived in complete hiding.
Gaius Julius Caesar, first emperor of Rome.
No, seeing the vacancy of the old man who was destined to be called by that name, Limon couldn’t help but feel heavy.
