Episode 267. This is highly regarded by history (2)
[It materializes the legendary ‘Dark Dragon Lee Ho-yeol’.]
Antonium.
I see a dark dragon crossing the sky.
The exact effects and limitations of the legend system will need to be figured out in the future.
‘It looks impeccable.’
A legend grows stronger by how widely it resonates.
It is only natural that the effect would increase in the place where the legend started.
It was a legend that was approved and spread by the mouth of the emperor.
In Antonium, where the Emperor is staying, the power and size of the Dark Dragon have no choice but to grow. So, the Dark Dragon in the sky was bigger than when it materialized last time.
In particular, the fact that both wings are fluttering because they are unusually large…
It’s really like looking at this guy’s jacket draped over his shoulder, so I don’t feel comfortable. So, if you ask me why I activated the legend, the reason is simple.
‘Can there be a modest appearance in the Grand Fell dictionary?’
Of course, there is another reason.
I needed to kill the spirits of the demons around me.
Besides, the empire couldn’t remain crouched down forever.
“Keep on your stomach so that it doesn’t bother you.”
How grievous must Harkon be when he sees it?
Even for Harkon, who will find Antonium someday.
It means that it is necessary to discipline the demons in advance.
“Wait a minute!”
As they approached the gate, the guards who were distracted by the Dark Dragon hesitated.
I understand being upset.
For a traveler wandering the ruined continent of Arcana…
My outfit was so neat and flashy.
Maybe he thought of me as a noble.
Even though he is full of doubts, he speaks with respect.
“…Could you please reveal your affiliation and identity?”
But wouldn’t there be a need for a common name between us?
actually rather than that.
With my mouth, I am the dark dragon.
I just hoped that the situation of shouting would not come….
If I say this, someone with a lot of curiosity will ask again.
If you don’t want to reveal your identity, couldn’t you just open a portal inside the walls of Antonium? I can’t help but ask this question because I really don’t know about Grandfel’s love for procedures.
“I will kindly understand.”
I was the one who communicated with the emperor through Hiel and the chain walker.
It’s the first time we’ve actually met face to face.
Besides, the upright pride left the front door.
Would you be happy to enter Antonium by way of the portal?
This is also my unavoidable selling point.
Have you finally caught on to your spirit?
The complexion of the guards who looked at me properly began to change quickly.
“I can’t stand it…!!”
Yes.
No matter what it is.
Thanks to the brilliantly committed though.
I’m glad I could skip introducing myself.
It was at this moment that I breathed a sigh of relief.
Soon, a loud cry was heard.
“It’s a dark dragon!!”
Alas.
“The dark dragon came to visit Antonium!!”
I overlooked it.
that’s a legend.
Just because I kept my mouth shut didn’t mean it wouldn’t ring!!
.
.
.
That was just the beginning.
[You have entered the capital of the empire, Antonium.]
Even when Arcana was a game, it was unfamiliar to me. That should be the point of contact. Because on a fictitious day in Akkshan, which was tucked away in the corner of the continent, suffering from Nogada quests was all I could remember from those days.
So, again, I overlooked it.
big!
Since it was the capital of the Empire, it was only natural that it was much larger than Frost, and above all, Antonium was not captured by demons or rebels.
I can’t compare it to the past.
It was to the point where I had the illusion that I was in a game back then.
‘…Except for one thing.’
Again—
the gaze begins to focus on me as I advance under escort.
Yes, because the materialization of the Dark Dragon has been canceled.
It is only natural that the eyes that have lost their way will naturally turn to me.
Gossiping conversations are heard.
“Where are you from?”
“…Do you think he’s very tall?”
“Isn’t it the royal family?”
“You mean Grand Duke? But I’ve never seen a face like that…”
As expected, this guy’s outfit is a problem everywhere.
Nobles are not enough, so the royal family.
I can’t lift my face because it’s embarrassing.
I’m glad though
‘It doesn’t seem to have spread far.’
Even if the empire is great, the guards cannot manifest telepathy. Thanks to that, even if they shouted, it seemed that the shouts of the guards were not completely transmitted to Antonium, which would have been tumultuous by the Dark Dragon.
But as I said before, this is just the beginning.
Took—
something fell to the floor.
Degurur—
a rolling sound was heard.
“Huh huh?”
Where the sound came from, there were people looking right at me. No matter how you look at those eyes, they are eyes that know my identity right away. As for those who might know me in Antonium…
I’m sure there are only ‘them’.
Yes Dredsen.
You must have heard enough about me from Hyel and Diend while staying in the Iron Castle. By the way… I guess you did a good job describing me.
‘If you see me recognizing me as soon as I see you.’
I opened my mouth.
“Have you gotten used to life in Antonium?”
“…?!”
“Survivors of Dredsen.”
“Yeah too…!!!”
When I said it, I felt like I was sure.
Tears well up in my eyes, unable to pick up the things I dropped on the floor.
In fact, in a way, I did save Dredsen as surely as I could.
So that kind of reaction is understandable…
“It’s an infinitely deep darkness!”
Of the many, many nicknames…?
There are so many people watching and listening here…!
It was a tinnitus that must have already resonated through the emperor.
The impact of hearing about it and hearing it in person cannot even be compared.
I looked at the Antonium nature towering in the distance.
‘Let’s see…’
in this huge interest and hospitality.
You will have to walk for several hours before you can reach your true nature.
seriously concerned.
Can I endure it without shame until then…?
*
Antonium is vast.
For that reason, wizards belonging to the Empire are keeping their seats at certain distances to deliver the news quickly. Because what was faster than a horse was a horse without legs, and what was faster than a horse without legs was telepathy.
but this moment.
The Imperial wizards were thrown into confusion.
It had to be.
– No, you know?!
He witnessed it clearly with his own two eyes.
Enough to completely cover Antonium.
A huge dragon flew across the sky and disappeared beyond the clouds.
It means that he noticed it even if he didn’t have to hear it telepathically.
-So there must be only a dragon of darkness! A dragon like that!
The day when heavy rain poured down on the Arcana continent.
They were wizards who had witnessed dozens of dragons.
I was sure because there was a comparison target.
Such a gigantic dragon.
That it was the dark dragon they howled for sure.
-That Dark Dragon appeared!
– No, did I see it too?
– Mr. Ha, it’s really frustrating, I’m going crazy!
– What’s the answer? I’m more frustrated!
Everyone in Antonium must have witnessed that dark dragon.
Even His Majesty must have known about it.
What was the use of mana for this unusual news?
However, the wizard’s doubts did not last long.
The street suddenly became noisy.
The wizard, who had been offended by telepathy, was taken aback.
A strangely unfamiliar outfit to be called an Arcana.
An overwhelming amount of magical power that touches the skin.
Such an existence appeared with the dark dragon…?
“Wait a minute…”
Didn’t you mean the dark dragon over there, but the dark dragon here!
“No, I have to explain properly!”
But it was no time to grumble. I had to inform His Majesty of this news as soon as possible. It would be great if I could send telepathy directly to Mage Nash in the imperial palace.
“You resent my lowly magic power.”
The power of expression was insufficient for that.
In the end, I sent telepathy to the magician closest to my nature.
why did you come back
It was a familiar question.
-What is the reason for telepathically conveying the obvious?
Yes.
There was such an unavoidable situation.
Because of that, Ho-yeol drove crowds, received all sorts of hospitality, and even walked through the streets of Antonium, and then came to his true nature… * Did you say that sometimes extreme experiences are rather
helpful
?
I was feeling the words.
No matter how disgraceful it is, people don’t die…!
‘Thank you for making me realize, everyone…’ I
thought I’d lose my energy a few more hours after stepping foot in Antonium rather than chatting with the primordial evil. I was prepared, but it was a really difficult journey.
But it’s not over yet.
The quiet cubic crystal reminds us of that.
“It is harmonious.”
Don’t evaluate other people’s houses from the entrance, Grandfel.
The Emperor’s Imperial Palace!
Anyway, I want to think that this kind of day will come in my life.
Even if we put aside the insignificant class of demon hunters. When Arcana was just a game, the level of the players themselves was low. Contact with the Empire could not be made.
Even more so after the cataclysm.
I never even imagined that I would be able to go back and forth between Arcana continent and reality like this. I didn’t even think that I would be able to save the empire.
Thanks to you, I realized it belatedly.
“Was it true…”
The moment he saw me and the emperor rising from the throne.
that a real problem has arisen.
Yes, other players would have thought about it here.
‘I wondered how to get the first word out.’
Why did Jesse Heinness of the world say that?
– “I was very aware of it even then!”
He said he was worried that he might make a mistake in front of the emperor.
not as much as me
I think I know why Jesse, who doesn’t care about others, said that.
‘The feeling of intimidation is no joke.’
too flashy
The background of the emperor called the imperial palace was very grand.
Of course, it was a grandeur that I couldn’t even get enough of. Aside from Grandfell’s sense of aesthetics, if the Yusra Golden Palace was more grand than this, it was grand, but it was absolutely not inferior.
So my concerns were bound to be slightly different from those of the players.
So what should I call the emperor?
Because I was the one who naturally spoke to Yunaxus and Argentres, who were higher than the emperor. Of course, I did not expect that honorific words would come out naturally.
‘Above all, thinking about Cloudy settings…’
It’s not better to just keep your mouth shut.
But my worries were in vain.
It was because the emperor opened his mouth first.
“It is an honor to meet the legend.”
…Why are the servants more surprised than I am?
I didn’t know that the emperor would treat me so hospitably.
It was not strange that the servants hesitated.
It’s not something I can’t understand.
Even without Cloudy’s halo, the accumulated [reputation points] would not be normal. If the empire was intact, to the extent that you would be treated as an honored guest no matter what city you visit.
‘…Still, I can’t help but notice it.’
Now is the time to properly exercise the wisdom of a member of society.
Above all, I had no intention of becoming deeply involved with the Empire.
Like I said, are you already overwhelmed?
‘Even rebuilding Cloudy’s estate is disturbing.’
Thinking of taking over the Empire?
It may sound regrettable, but there is none!
Therefore, the authority of the empire must always belong to the emperor.
The emperor must maintain his dignity like an emperor.
That’s why I can’t break the pride of Grandfel and spit out honorific words…
‘At least when a lot of people are together.’
Let’s avoid situations where we treat the emperor casually.
In order to do that, it would be better to get straight to the point.
I was the one who grasped the surrounding situation while crossing the Arcana continent.
‘Enough time.’
I still have time until the day I promised to meet Kichi.
So I didn’t delay.
He spoke directly to the emperor.
“Saddam will share later.”
“Do you have any urgent business?”
“Don’t you know that too?”
If you were the emperor or the head of the empire, of course you would have been worried, right?
The cities near Antonium, recovered from the clutches of the devil.
How the hell am I supposed to recover it?
‘Thanks to eating raw with Cloudy’s halo unintentionally.’
It was just that I had enough magic power.
Besides, the object of the search is a mineral, right?
From the time when there was no such thing as a simple castle wall.
That is, I was able to skillfully set it right.
So no more worries.
Especially the nobleman who looks like a wizard there.
‘Why does it look like someone’s face…’
I’ll take care of the [Main Quest] as well.
Rest in peace for a while.
It means don’t even think about moving one step in the imperial palace.
*
Magic Tower.
“Eeeh!”
Banshee William, senior fire magician, sneezed.
…Who’s talking about me?
My ears have been itching ever since.
But let’s focus on Bensh William.
“From now on, it is a constant competition. Competing with adventurers…!”
The recent news from the Mage Tower was unusual.
