Episode 186. It is the empire that is engraved in history
.
Numerous talented people gather in the capital city of Antonium. But not as much as a wizard. Because those with the best talent on the continent headed for the Mage Tower.
It meant that it was true that if you were a skilled wizard in the Mage Tower, you could be revered as a high-ranking mage outside the Mage Tower.
Nash William, the highest ranking wizard in the Empire.
Nash bit his nails in the corner.
He remembered his one and only brother, Bensh William.
‘Brother….’
When I was young.
He was an older brother who was evaluated as having a talent comparable to that of a fire dragon.
A brother who never felt intimidated no matter where he went, regardless of his talent.
Benshi hyung-nim, who always showed a dignified figure unlike his age.
Although he wasn’t talented enough to enter the Mage Tower like his older brother, Nash did his best.
He read magic books day and night and accumulated knowledge about magic in various fields.
And in recognition of his ability, he rose to the highest rank in the empire.
But exhaling today.
I was aware of my own limitations.
‘What should I do, older brother…!’
I missed my older brother so much today.
It had to be.
In front of the Emperor’s throne room.
Ministers came to the corner and whispered.
“Sir Nash, can you guess?”
no.
I don’t know.
Nash’s irresponsible words rose up in his throat.
how!
What is that spirit that is in an audience with His Majesty?
elegance itself.
The elegance that flows from the exterior is enough to be called the King of Spirits.
Let’s imagine that after giving in dozens of times, the Spirit King made an unusual appearance.
The problem is, including himself.
It was visible to all!
One of the basics of spirit magic.
Spirit magic is the magic of the chosen ones.
In order to witness the spirits in their natural state, they had to meet difficult conditions.
‘But what everyone can see is…’
It was a contract spirit that made a contract with someone.
Nash seemed to be collapsing.
‘Signing a contract with the King of Spirits!’
What wizard in the world could do that?
Do you know if it’s Banshee?
I can’t even imagine this ugly brother.
Nash, who had been shivering, came to his senses.
Anyway, this was good news.
Nash coughed heavily and said.
“It seems that God has not forsaken the Empire.”
The substitutes whispered.
“…I asked about spirits. What do you mean?”
Brother Banshee!
Unlike my older brother, I think I still lack the power….
Nash swallowed a sigh and added.
“What the spirit brought was a banner given to Lord Harkon by His Majesty before he left for the Northern Expedition. Perhaps that spirit came to Your Majesty with news of Lord Harkon and the Knights of the Lionheart.”
The faces of the ministers brightened only then.
“Was that flag really that important?”
“Does that mean Lord Harkon is alive?”
“Then you should have told me sooner, Sir Nash!”
The voices of ministers who pierce your ears.
Nash’s eyes darkened.
‘Where did you disappear with Banshee’s mage tower? Apparently, I am not a bureaucrat. If only you would accept my ugly younger brother Nash as an apprentice wizard…’
It was at that time that Nash was pessimistic about his situation.
The door to the audience room was
wide open.
The emperor’s voice came out.
“It’s fine if everyone comes in.”
“…!!!”
The generals and finally Nash entered the audience room.
There was still a spirit floating in the air in an elegant posture.
The emperor opened his mouth.
“The spirit’s name is Hayel…”
…Hayel?
Apparently, there was no spirit king with that name in the books.
Even as Nash was thinking, the words continued.
“…Crisiad Four Seasons Reef.”
Now hold on. your majesty?
I’m disrespectful, but did you hear me correctly?
Is that really the spirit’s name?
It was not possible to judge the spirit’s status by name, but it was an unusual appearance and name no matter who saw or heard it. Thoughts began to emerge.
Nash had no choice but to find his brother once again.
‘…is there a spirit emperor above the spirit king?’
I don’t know the younger brother who is lacking.
Nash lowered his head, but the emperor calmly continued. Of course, it wasn’t long before Nash raised his head in amazement at the words that followed.
“Mama Magic Tower?”
the magic tower.
The magic tower where my brother is is safe.
That wasn’t all.
“The Lion Heart Knights, including Harkon, too…?”
“I thought Frost didn’t disappear without a trace!!”
“So it is. There is no way that the shrine of the goddess Muon will collapse!”
Those who disappeared without a trace on the continent are alive.
Even if it was in a world other than the Arcana continent.
They are alive and breathing.
The emperor opened his mouth.
“I don’t know what you will think of me.”
The Highel Spirit said so.
The continent of Arcana and the world of adventurers.
There is a ‘rift’ connecting the two worlds.
I couldn’t understand it right away, but it was enough for now.
“To my shame, I was relieved.”
For failing to protect them as the emperor.
I should have blamed myself for not noticing.
The overwhelming emotions boiled over and it was too much to suppress.
But the emperor did not forget what to do.
“Also, the unbelievable story begins now.”
okay.
Because I had to tell the story of heroism that Hiel had told me.
It was too much for me to know alone.
“Listen. Write down the scribe without omission.” The words of the emperor
soon
began to be engraved on the parchment.
“Are you saying that you saved Frost from the devil’s clutches? On the Arcana continent, adventurers who have hidden their identities risk their lives…?”
“To think that the high-nosed mages of the Mage Tower have started moving. They didn’t follow His Majesty’s words, their ancestors’ orders, or anyone’s orders…!!”
“Dwarves are helping the empire and mankind…?”
All of those unbelievable news were becoming history officially recognized by the emperor. It included only yesterday’s events.
“Dozens of princes under Grand Duke Ymir who besieged Antonium. And the fact that Shagwin, the swordsman and grand sword master, retreated…”
Ssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssuks
while writing down without hesitation.
one of the servants said
I didn’t dare to doubt the emperor’s words.
“Your Majesty, this is an incredible achievement.”
“hmm.”
The emperor nodded.
Can you really think that way?
However, there is a greater guarantee than anything else here.
flutter!
The emperor unfurled his flag.
Lionheart’s symbol is a flag with a lion on it.
On the back side, the letters were written in different handwriting.
“Yessica Bright.
Enoch Lauren.
Kazet owner…”
The last Knight Commander, Harkon.
These are the names of the Lion Heart knights.
The man who raised the question carefully examined the names.
Soon, his eyes turned red.
I doubted it because I didn’t want to be disappointed with vain expectations.
It was clear.
This handwriting…
“…Kazet my son. You are safe.”
It was his son’s for sure.
“I’m sorry, Your Majesty. I will dispel your doubts.”
The Emperor looked at the last phrase again.
『I hope you are safe, my lord.』
How could I forget your handwriting, Harkon.
The Knights of the Lion Heart on an expedition to the north.
After they disappeared, the emperor constantly blamed himself.
‘It’s because I regretted the number of times you raised the election ticket and regretted it.’
But such an emperor.
‘It was in vain, but I’m glad that’s the case, Harkon.’
He was smiling now.
The words flowed from his mouth.
“And since all these achievements originate from a single man, let the scribe write his name correctly.”
“…!!!”
gulp!
in tension.
“The savior of the empire.”
its name.
“A ray of light in the infinitely deep darkness.”
echoed through the emperor’s mouth.
“Lee Ho-yeol.”
*
Indeed, you will feel that the time on the Arcana continent is faster than reality.
Click——
the moment I put down the teacup filled with the tea bag, my vision flickered.
[Relationship with Capital City Antonium has increased significantly.]
[Influence in Capital City Antonium has increased significantly.]…
Flag of Harkon and Lion Heart Knights.
It seemed that Highel had safely delivered the news to the emperor.
By the way, Hiel…
How did you deliver the news?
Relationships were also expected to rise in influence.
Even setting aside the context.
In any case, I succeeded in driving out the rebels including Shagwin.
As if to prove him, the quest goal was also renewed.
[Main Quest: Warring States Period]
A time of upheaval.
Is it simple power to go to?
Is it the emperor’s incompetence?
Or is it an irreversible fate?
The strong men of the continent covet the throne.
Let your choices create a new flow.
—Capture Antonium. (Success)
As a result, it saved the empire from a crisis.
That level of quest reward was expected.
But isn’t this too much of a reward?!
[Friendship with the Empire has reached maximum.]
It’s already at maximum?!
Hiel’s criminal record comes to mind.
Wasn’t it me who had created a lot of bubbles without bubbles among the dwarves because of Highel’s cubic crystal that looked exactly like Grandfell? I could intuit.
‘This time too, it’s heavily seasoned, Hiel.’
…Yes, let’s think positively about the already spilled yard.
Keep it simple.
Even if Diend didn’t step out, where would it be?
“Finally, that ugly plan went awry.”
…Spitting out the word bubble and not being stabbed.
Indeed, the iron skin is getting thicker day by day. Grand Fel.
But it’s not over until it’s over.
Another updated quest.
[Quest: Futile]
Shagwin considered hunting demons futile.
Talk to Shagwin and
determine the truth of the action.
—Encounter with Shagwin. (Success)
─Find the link between Shagwin and the devil. (Success)
─Hunt the true name demon Shagwin. (In progress)
Shagwin wasn’t possessed by a demon.
He had become a demon himself.
He seemed to think that he had simply regained his youth, but those black pupils were those of the devil. Above all, there is probably no clear evidence as if [Natural Enemy Relations] had been activated.
The social space of space and time.
Because of that rule, it was impossible to succeed in the quest.
I chattered.
“The unreasonable rules need to be revised.”
Even if you don’t know, I’m against death-defying Grand Fel.
Because Shagwin is the devil.
[Natural enemy relationship] Even if you think you can rub it with your teeth.
Because other transcendental beings existed.
The personality of this guy who spits out all the things he can’t say!
Above all, there was no reason for Granfell to look favorably on the Transcendentalists.
In fact, even in my eyes, it looks sleepy.
while being so strong
So that the Arcana Continent is devastated by demons.
Didn’t take any action
‘There may be circumstances like the magic tower.’
How could Grandfel consider that?
Because this time, Shagwin was the target.
Even if it’s passed, next time…?
‘Just imagining it is terrifying.’
Transcendentalists have no pride at all.
If you imagine giving face to face…!
Once again, I am extremely grateful for the procedures of the social principal.
‘Of course, Shagwin, you are an exception.’
You didn’t get possessed and your body was taken away, but you became a demon yourself?
Besides, it doesn’t have any great purpose.
Just to get your youth back huh?!
“You are absolutely foolish.”
who is it
Even if you only hear the sound of eternal life.
I’m afraid I’ll suffer from the dark history for the rest of my life!!
Shagwin, you…
‘…You’re the best seller.’
Even I can’t forgive it.
There’s no need to explain Grandfel’s feelings.
A strong man like Shagwin would never lose his life to someone.
It was said that one day they would collide.
‘It’s not something I’m proud of because I liberated the Circle.’
A circle that amplifies magic power by 1000%.
However, Shagwin was also a transcendentalist.
It means that I don’t know what kind of effect the swordsmanship and sword steel will produce. What’s certain is that it has a tremendous effect that rivals that of Circle.
‘In the end, I have to prepare.’
Just my way.
You must be fully prepared in all aspects.
Of course, that includes swordsmanship.
Shagwin’s famous sword suddenly comes to mind.
I thought it looked pretty good.
Well, I don’t think my weapon will lag behind him either.
“I’m looking forward to the day we can meet again, dear.”
Ego equipment that Wallswail, the best blacksmith in the Dwarves, would be smelting!
And I know a great teacher who will pass it on.
No, they aren’t close enough to be called teachers…
but I didn’t delay.
Suseusuk—
I swung the feather pen straight away.
The recipient is Fabian Delon, the head of the Explorers’ League.
Its purpose is the magic tool [Hell’s Torch] of the Explorers’ League.
