Episode 133
Vinchen asked.
“Among the humans who visited this place, they were only allowed to live when there were those who inherited the blood of the Hisley family?”
“Half right. To be precise, only those who inherited the blood of the Hisley family were spared.”
she chuckled.
“Sarvina. He also had Heathley blood.”
“…”
Vinchen was silent for a moment.
The fact that Sarvina inherited Heathley’s blood meant that Heathley’s blood also flowed through Vincen.
In other words, it also meant that the tax collector and himself were also distant blood relatives.
“I know people who are not of Heathley blood, but who are alive.”
Cannes.
Versa.
First-class cadets who were together at the time.
They came in here and came back alive and well.
“That’s because Sarvina, who inherited Heathley’s blood, took death instead.”
Vinchen recalled Versa’s words.
-We still don’t know what price Sarvina had to pay to get the fruit. Why did you lose your power? Why did he have to die so quickly? I don’t know anything. She didn’t tell me the details until after she died. We only knew that there was an unknown pattern on her back.
It seemed that Sarvina had chosen death herself.
In order to save the colleagues who were together at the time.
Vinchen asked cautiously.
“How about this time?”
He and Se-ri inherited Heathley’s blood.
But it wasn’t henna.
“well. I’m thinking about it. I should have killed him.”
Her eyes narrowed.
life amplified.
A magic circle was created under Henna’s feet.
Henna tried to resist, but she couldn’t.
‘Mana does not move.’
It was because the dragon had frozen mana.
It was the worst magic for a modern unmanned man.
It felt like death was right around the corner.
Then Vincen swung his sword.
‘Supernatural sword.’
It was true that the dragon’s magic was excellent.
It is not for nothing that it is said that half of all magic comes from dragons.
Fortunately, the dragon is not vigilant.
Thanks to this, the ‘road’ was visible, and Vinchen cut off the dragon’s ‘magic’ through the supernatural sword.
Dragon hahaha! burst out laughing
“what? How did you learn this sword?”
She seemed to already know about Vincen’s supernatural sword.
Vincen did not answer him.
He aimed at the dragon with red lotus.
“This is my sister.”
“Hmm.”
She stroked her chin.
“okay. I’ll save you for now So tell me how you learned that sword.”
“How much do you know about this sword?”
“well. It’s similar to the swordsmanship my older brother liked to use.”
“Who is your friend and who is your favorite older brother?”
“It’s a bit long, so to speak. First of all, let me introduce my name. My name is…”
Vinchen organized the words of the dragon in his head.
‘The dragon’s name is Anneline.’
He said that he was active at the same time as Aslan.
He said he was Aslan’s friend and colleague.
‘He was Aslan’s colleague?’
Anneline mentions four names in total.
Aslan.
Laenmgo.
Both are recorded in history.
-If it’s Raenmego, it’s the name of the Holy King, isn’t it?
He knew relatively well about Raenmego.
His remains were also left, and Vinchen had visited them himself.
I already knew that Aslan and Raenmgo had a special relationship.
The current Adenca and Gaia temples are also maintaining a pretty close relationship because they were born like that.
‘I thought there were more colleagues.’
There were two more.
Annelin.
Besatul.
Both were forgotten names.
-Iknow, right. I would have thought that the dragon was the first Lord’s colleague. That’s amazing. It’s amazing that that colleague is still alive and standing in front of me.
The dragon’s name is Anneline.
It was this woman in front of me.
Anneline’s eyes narrowed.
“Um, what is that reaction? Were you embarrassed by these great names?”
“For now, Anneline’s name has been forgotten.”
“Eh? really? A lie.”
“Why lie to me?”
“why? I blew a bit in my prime. I was a bit more famous than Aslan and Laenmgo? Don’t you know the Black Flame Dragon of end and destruction?”
She seemed to be quite proud of her nickname.
“…Is that so?”
“What’s wrong with your expression?”
“It seems to be a tinnitus with a little ambiguous corner to be proud of.”
“why? Aren’t you cool?”
Yulian hurriedly sighed.
– I mean it. That dragon is sincere.
Vincent answered.
“In some ways, I think it’s cool. There are some funny corners, too.”
“Have times changed? I don’t know what, but it was a cool name for me.”
“…Is that so?”
Even at that time, such a nickname was not cool.
Vincen thought only to himself.
There is no need to defy the dragon’s planting.
Instead, I said differently.
“It looks like you haven’t really taken one step out of here. Seeing that you don’t know anything.”
“I didn’t go out. I don’t care much about the world. I was going to go back to Mana 500 years ago anyway.”
Returning to mana meant eternal death.
It is said that dragons are not very afraid of death.
He said that most of them choose to return to mana on their own when the time comes.
“As I said before, I made an appointment with Besa’tul. I will protect the cheongwa here.”
Like Aneline, a name forgotten in history was Besa’tul.
He said that at the time, he was the head of the Hisley family and a colleague of Aslan.
-why? Do you know a man named Besatul?
‘know. He was an enemy of the Heathley family.’
Back when he was a one-armed Daven.
He had seen Besatul a few times.
He was the man Aslan called his older brother and followed.
Same age as Daven.
They dated a few times, but never developed a deep relationship.
It was because he was trapped in Samion’s dungeon before he could even become close with him.
I had only heard that he had become the head of the Heathley family after he was imprisoned.
“Why did the head of the Hisley family ask the dragon to protect the fruit?”
“Because we staked our mission on the future?”
Anneline’s expression darkened for a moment.
“We couldn’t kill the Prime Evil. I just put it to sleep [where the light doesn’t reach].”
“…”
Vinchen’s body flinched.
“When you say the Prime Evil, do you mean Daven?”
“okay. Archdemon Daven. Still, the story seems to have been handed down.”
Vinchen’s body flinched once again.
Anneline is a generation that experienced the past 500 years ago.
The Anneline is clearly referred to as the Archdemon ‘Daven’.
‘What happened to this?’
Daven must have died a lonely death.
Why did Anneline refer to the Great Devil as ‘Daven’?
“Actually, I didn’t care what the Great Devil was like. I mean, my friends were so desperate.”
Aslan and Raenmgo.
and Besatul.
The three said they saw hope in the future.
“The great prophet foretold. One day, a ‘those who seek the truth’ will appear and be able to truly annihilate the Great Devil.”
Vinchen had heard from King Seong about ‘those who seek the truth’.
-Are you a person who seeks the truth?
– Has this day come?
“Well, I didn’t really trust the prophet or the mermaid, but the rest of them did.”
“Who was the Prophet?”
Anneline thought for a moment.
“What was that name… I can’t help but think of it. Wait a minute.”
Vincen was also lost in thought.
If the prophet was that famous, Vincen would have heard the name too.
Annelin, who had been thinking for a long time, opened her mouth.
“I’m not sure, but I think his name was Yul. Julian? I guess that was the name for it.”
* * *
Yulian said.
-It’s a big deal. I don’t know if that grandmother remembers her name correctly.
The dragon may be telling lies.
Anyway, Vincen organized Anneline’s words in his own way.
‘Daven is dead. However, the great demon Daven existed and was sealed away from light.’
History recorded two great men.
‘Aslan became the first head of Adenka. Raenmego became the Holy King and left behind the Holy King’s tomb.’
And history has forgotten the other two heroes.
‘Besatuul was the family head of the Hisley family, but was forgotten in the world along with the Hisley family. Annelin was a dragon, and at Besatul’s request, she guarded the celestial fruit here.’
Anneline gave a big yawn.
“I was so excited because I saw a guy who inherited Aslan’s blood and Heathley’s blood at the same time. It looks like you talked too much about old stories.”
“Thank you. You learned a lot.”
“Something seems very unlucky, but also very polite. Not like kids these days. so? You know you haven’t answered yet How do you know that sword?”
Vinchen skillfully mixes fact and truth.
“I think it was around the age of thirteen. I was able to use it from any moment. If you can see the path of the sword and swing it along the path of the sword, you will be able to cut through the supernatural ability.”
“Is that possible?”
“There is a dragon that has been guarding heaven and fruit here for 500 years. That dragon is like the Black Flame Dragon of destruction and end.”
“hey. You’re wrong.”
“yes?”
Anneline put on a serious expression.
“The Black Flame Dragon of the end and destruction.”
“…”
“The end is ahead. Destruction follows.”
“…that was the important thing.”
“of course. The apocalypse looks older. Don’t make mistakes in the future.”
Vincen thought for a moment before opening his mouth.
“Perhaps I am [the seeker of truth].”
“what? you? Fu puhahahahaha! It’s amazing to see a kid who listens to stories from the past that are more than 500 years old seriously like you, and believes them again for the first time. are you kidding me?”
“Otherwise, how can I explain my use of this sword?”
“You said with your own mouth that there are many mysterious and wonderful things in the world.”
Hmm,
Vinchen nodded and asked a question.
“And this sword was said to resemble the brother the Lord liked. What was your brother’s name?”
The older brother’s name is well known to Vinchen.
His name was ‘Daven’.
Daven died in Samion’s dungeon.
“That’s…”
Anneline smiled.
“I don’t remember.”
“Could the dragon not remember?”
“What kind of god is the dragon? remember everything.”
Anneline really didn’t seem to remember.
There seemed to be no point in asking further.
“Okay then. Now tell me a little bit about you Let’s talk a little bit about the outside world. Things seem to have changed a lot.”
“Simple or fast?”
“Aren’t they both similar?”
“Then I will keep it simple.”
Vinchen told me relatively briefly about what had happened.
Aslan, the first owner of Adenka, left something behind for posterity.
And Vincen himself was following in the footsteps of Aslan.
All the gateways passed by the successors of Adenca were like that.
The tomb of the King Seong, which passed through Vincen, was like that.
and here.
The same was true of the cave hidden in the Nile Falls.
“I think that’s why I ended up here. To obtain heavenly fruits.”
“Well, it is quite interesting, but there is no cloth. It will take several more decades to bear fruit again.”
“Is there any way to artificially produce fruit?”
Vinchen clearly remembers King Seong’s words.
– Aslan is right.
– Take this.
– In the future, it will guide you to heavenly fruits.
500 years ago.
If the four heroes bet something on their future.
If you had prepared this day so elaborately.
someone in the future.
In other words, if the ‘those who seek the truth’ prepared to obtain the fruit of heaven.
Maybe there was another way.
“Maybe there was a reason why you, the Black Flame Dragon of the end and destruction, had to protect the heavenly fruit. Isn’t it?”
