Episode 254. Call it a legend (1)
Antonium, the capital of the empire.
Nash William, the imperial palace wizard, looked up at the sky.
The rain had stopped and the sun was shining, but my body was still shivering.
No matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t help it.
“It seems that the younger brother who is lacking cannot imitate his older brother….”
The appearance of the dragon.
I knew that I couldn’t even hit a rock with an egg.
But it was something I couldn’t let go of.
So Nash moved quickly.
To prepare for an unexpected dragon attack.
But the moment you face the dragon.
Nash froze.
The title of the Imperial Palace Mage put the title to shame, and she was engulfed in fear.
Only then will I have the face to face the emperor
. Brother
.
Even in front of the dragon.
That fiery momentum would not have subsided.
Of course, that fire dragon wasn’t a real dragon.
Even if someone points that out.
There was no consolation for the discouraged Nash.
“What are you thinking so hard about?”
“!”
What awakened Nash, who had been blaming himself.
was his master emperor.
At the emperor’s voice, Nash hurriedly lowered his head.
“I have no face, Your Majesty.”
“What do you mean you have no face at all?”
“Unfortunately, the young man could not fulfill his responsibilities as an imperial palace mage. I was intimidated by the dragon and forgot my duty.”
The emperor approached Nash in silence.
“…?”
Then he tapped the bewildered Nash on the shoulder.
“Isn’t that obvious, Nash? Being unable to even raise your head properly in front of the true king. There’s no need to ask for forgiveness from me Even from the beginning, I couldn’t look straight up at the sky.”
The emperor’s gaze shifts from Nash to the panoramic view of Antonium outside the window.
A capital city that stopped even the rebels following the devil.
Thanks to that, the vibrancy that had sprung was colorless.
Antonium was as quiet as a dead mouse.
The emperor raised the corner of his mouth bitterly.
“Therefore, there is no need to ask for forgiveness or blame yourself. I’m just thankful for now. I don’t know why… but I’m glad they’re back.”
“…I will honor your order, Your Majesty.”
Of course I know it won’t be easy.
The reason why Antonium is quiet at this moment must be because of ‘him’.
The reason why the dragon disappeared.
Because anyone could have guessed that.
‘Dark Dark Dragon.’
Stories about dragons have been handed down even in the empire. However, most of them are only books that have been handed down from mouth to mouth.
So, the only thing that can be called the truth…
‘As expected, there is only the Dragon Demon War.’
War between the magic tower and the dragon.
The few records left in the imperial palace were the only return gifts that the previous emperors had received while establishing a friendly relationship with the Magic Tower.
I gave hundreds of magic tools to the Mage Tower and received only a few pieces of paper.
Some might say that Imperial face is not a joke.
‘Even I’ve thought so before.’
However, now that I have confirmed the dragon’s existence with my own two eyes.
The record of the few pages of the Great War of the Dragon Demon would serve as a valuable indicator for the empire. Thinking so, he himself had been looking at those records a little while ago.
however.
‘It’s an existence that even the Magic Tower doesn’t know about.’
Even in the record of the Great War of the Dragon Demon, the Dark Dragon did not exist.
The emperor was in agony.
It is a dark dragon that did not appear in the Dragon Demon War in the distant past.
How could such an existence have such an effect on dragons…
“It’s very questionable.”
Suddenly, the emperor looked at the floor of the imperial palace.
exactly.
I looked over the floor and into the basement of the imperial palace. There is it in the basement of
the 『Archive of Warlords』
.
If the answer to the question exists on the Arcana continent, there is the 『Archive of Warlords』 that tells the answer. If you ask what the existence of the dark dragon is, you will be able to answer the question right away.
However.
“…”
the emperor asked himself.
‘Is it really the right time to use it?’
There are many people who are aware of the existence of 『The War Emperor’s Library』.
Nash and other ministers, as well as Harkon, who is now in the world of adventurers, should know about its existence.
However, only the emperor himself knew that a ‘price’ was needed in order to hear that answer.
It must be so.
so far.
Only the previous emperors had used it.
‘…What should I do, Harkon?’
It was the moment when the emperor hung his head in agony.
The warm sunlight that had been beating down on the imperial palace suddenly disappeared.
The moment I exhaled with the emperor, I was stunned.
“…?”
Maybe it’s going to rain?
Unless that’s it.
Did the dragon appear again?
It was natural to be surprised again.
But it was neither.
“…your majesty?”
Nash wiggles his horse’s tail.
It wasn’t a dragon or a dark cloud holding a shower that covered the sun.
A familiar flying boat.
It was the Dwarves’ Iron Castle.
That’s why a question appeared on the emperor’s face.
“How come the dwarves… again?”
I thought I wouldn’t be visiting Antonium for a while.
Did something urgent happen?
The Emperor commanded Nash.
“Nash to prepare to greet them.”
“I will obey your command, Your Majesty!”
Then, he soon encountered the Dwarf leader, Chainwalker.
The Emperor’s guess was about half right.
Because the Chain Walker hurriedly opened his mouth.
“I came back to the empire with urgent news.”
Yes, because the news was urgent in a different sense.
“Imperial you don’t even have enough time to be trembling in fear like this. Move as quickly as possible to restore the power of the Empire and restore its former glory!”
“…What does that mean, Dwarf? Didn’t you also see and know? A dragon has appeared How could the people say such a thing when they couldn’t escape the shock?”
“It’s not something to be shocked about.”
“…What?”
“It’s not something to be afraid of.”
“What do you mean it’s nothing to be afraid of?”
The chain walker continued to speak to the emperor who asked back.
“Dark Dark Dragon.”
.
.
.
Chain Walker had confidence.
“If you’re a gentleman, you wouldn’t want the continent to tremble in fear.”
Akkshan’s last survivor.
The fact that negative emotions give strength to demons.
Because he knows Ho-yeol better than anyone else.
Right now, both humans and demons are trembling in front of the dragon…
“The devil is a kind of people who don’t know what to do.”
Foolish demons are a race that forgets even fear.
This peace will never last long.
Chainwalker made a decision.
“Isn’t this what an oath is?”
He said he would use this as an opportunity to reverse the negative emotions on the continent.
It didn’t take much to make that possible.
Just one word was enough.
The emperor who appeared above Antonium’s main castle.
The people of Antonium look at the Emperor with concerned faces.
Chain Walker boarded the Iron Castle again and looked at their faces.
Wallsway asked.
“Chain Walker, did you convey it correctly?”
The dark dragon that the dragons howled.
He is Ho-yeol, the last survivor of Akkshan.
For those who have heard of such a fact…
the people, of course.
Isn’t the emperor’s expression too serious?
At that concern, the chain walker let out a small laugh.
It was a useless worry.
“Doesn’t Wallsweil know?”
“What do you mean all of a sudden?”
“How legends are handed down.”
“…?”
Wallsweil’s face wrinkled at the enigmatic words.
As much as he lived in front of a hot furnace, he was too impatient in front of other things, Wallsweil. Chain Walker said the point right away.
“No matter how legendary events and existences are, in the end, they cannot be called legends unless they pass through the human world. In the end, it is up to humans to elevate something to a legend.”
“…!”
It was.
No matter how great it is, if it is not widely known, it cannot be reborn as a legend. And it was only up to humans to publicize something.
“That’s right…”
Of course, the seclusion is their daily life.
Dragons or elves weren’t the ones to spread something widely.
The chain walker watches Antonium with a satisfied look.
“What our holy war allies need is a reversal. That’s a dramatic twist, Wallsweil. Let’s say you need a big shot that can overturn the fear-covered continent of Arcana.”
Wallsway asked.
“Is that what quenching is for?”
The Chain Walker nodded softly.
“Yes. It wouldn’t be a normal quenching process, either. Depending on whose mouth it begins, the weight of the legend will also change.”
The Chainwalker chuckled.
“In that sense, there is no better person than the emperor!”
.
.
.
the emperor says
“I know what you fear.”
Even though I spit it out, I think it’s shameless.
You’re spitting it out as if you weren’t scared at all.
before the devil.
in front of the rebels.
and before the dragon.
Because I was the one who was more afraid than anyone else.
“…”
So, the current silence was not at all harsh.
In the gaze of the people looking up at themselves.
To expect respect or awe.
Because he had nothing to prove as an emperor.
‘If I’m not ashamed, I’ll be the devil.’
The territory of the vast empire.
However, at this point, what can be called a territory is the capital city, Antonium.
And there was only Frost, which was rebuilt in the world of adventurers.
At the point of not looking at the rest of the territory and its people, he knows that he can no longer be called emperor.
Even so.
“So I report in the name of the emperor.”
He must desperately play the emperor himself.
Yes, even if it’s just an emperor in disguise.
Because his words had power.
Because I had to give that power to ‘him’.
“You guys, don’t be afraid of the dark dragon.”
In this case, the education he had received as a prince in his childhood was helpful.
After thorough practice, the vocalization and speech method that was spit out.
It seemed enough to awaken the fearful people.
But the emperor knew.
‘It’s not me who truly awakens them.’
That he is only a stepping stone role.
That’s why he spoke even more dignifiedly.
I would never have been able to do it if it was to elevate myself.
He spat out the majestic emperor’s voice.
“You already know who the Dark Dragon is.”
“…?”
“So are you.”
Where the Emperor’s gaze was directed were the survivors of Dredsen.
The first thing I noticed was the meaning of the word.
They were the survivors of the village of Dredsen.
Dredsen is at the edge of the Empire.
A mountain village where news from the Empire is out of reach.
Besides, they had not been settled in Antonium for a while.
But we already know the existence of the dark dragon…?
“…!”
Ransha muttered involuntarily.
“Can you stand?”
Yes.
It seems that the rumor is correct.
The Emperor’s remarks follow.
“The dark dragon, he is the savior of Dredsen.”
“At the same time, he is the hero of Antonium.”
“Infinitely deep darkness.”
It was the moment when the legend was proclaimed from the mouth of the emperor.
“Yes. Adventurer Lee Ho-yeol. He is the Dark Dark Dragon!”
“…!!!”

…my ears tickle.
Return to the Magic Tower.
My ears tickled as soon as I sat down at my office desk.
This is a bad sign.
However, in the formality of Grand Fell, the act of picking at the ear with the little finger.
Even if I died, I couldn’t accept it.
I try to ignore the itch and move my eyes to the desk.
The first thing that caught my eye was the application for the Mage Tower.
no, to be precise.
It was the cat’s paw stamped on the application form.
What Marcelo said.
Is the job that the tower owner replaced is the review of the application for the tower?
I muttered as I looked over the passed application form.
“I fully understand your sincerity.”
But that…
but there is a mana one consideration.
That was the favor of the tower owner.
It’s because I can’t live in debt to anyone.
‘That’s why I can’t say anything I don’t like.’
It’s really a cat job comparable to cat washing…!
No, no matter how annoying it is.
What are you going to do if you recklessly take permission to leave the tower like this?!
“But what needs to be set right must be set right.”
Guess I’ll never trust that cat again.
Of course, it was all because of Grandfel’s picky personality.
I muttered inwardly.
‘It’s best to give and take with this personality.’
In that sense, I want to ask everyone.
‘Everyone, please refrain from thinking about doing anything for me.’
If I feel sorry for me who will be suffering from the aftermath.
Anyway, let’s hurry up.
There are many things to be done before the end of today.
As I said, the goal of the class quest.
Because I was the one who had to faithfully perform physical training.
Let’s hurry up and revise the tower application.
‘so.’
I swung my feather pen.
Sussuk-
unfortunately.
This application will also be corrected as non-conforming.
Senior Bensh William.
