Episode 271. Promise (1)
An antique emperor’s space.
A dazzlingly gorgeous teacup.
And a green tea bag in a teacup that breaks the atmosphere.
Click—
Anyway, it’s a shocking story more than the sight in front of you.
I was taken aback, but put the teacup down without showing any expression.
Then he opened his mouth.
“There was such a situation.”
crack.
weird space.
It was a library of warlords with fraudulent effects like Gii.
After all, with great power comes great responsibility.
The cost of using the Emperor’s library was lifespan. Emperors of the empire exchanged answers to overcome their lifespan and crisis in the war library. It was to protect the empire.
“But I am not afraid. No, I wouldn’t do it because I’m afraid. The moment you get even the slightest bit scared, you won’t have the right to face your father and the previous emperors.”
It seems that the Emperor has never entered the War Emperor’s library yet.
You wouldn’t know what the inside of the Emperor’s Library is like even if you ask.
The emperor, who laughed bitterly, added a word to me.
“Could you keep this secret from others?”
Everyone seemed to know about the War Emperor’s library… but
they probably didn’t even know what the price was.
So I was able to say it insignificantly.
“When the time comes, I will reveal everything myself.”
That being said, I have to keep it a secret.
But that’s it.
Will there ever come a day when we can reveal that?
‘It was obviously a crack.’
Let’s think again.
The information of the warlord’s library.
[Library of war situation]
[Recommended level: Unmeasurable]
[Collapse progress: 92.7%]
Proper level for now.
According to the Emperor’s words, only those with the qualities of a ‘lord’ could enter the Emperor’s Library. It is said that the decision can be reversed the moment you enter, and the disappearance of your lifespan cannot be undone.
‘I must have said that I also received training for him.’
Human lifespan is limited.
This means that you cannot ask multiple questions.
Thanks to this, the emperor said that he had been trained to get the maximum number of answers with the minimum number of questions. It seems that you also learned the art of eloquence that spread the legend of the Dark Dragon at that time, right?
‘I can smell it here too.’
The disgusting smell of soybean flour…!
No matter how much I was born wearing a crown.
Being trained to use lifespan efficiently from an early age.
is it too much
Even I, who fell for odd tastes back then.
I don’t think I would have written this kind of setting down in the Cloudy family, really.
Anyway, even if it’s not as good as the world tree family, this one is also full of bean flour. Besides, the problem is not only that. Because I couldn’t overlook the fact that the warlord’s library was a rift.
‘What if it collapses?’
Guessing from the experience of the players accumulated over the years…
Every time you borrow that power, the collapse rate of the [Archive of War] will increase.
I declared it there.
“I’m not going to reveal that fact.”
“Thank you for understanding…”
“You will have nothing to reveal.”
“…What do you mean by that?”
“Because you won’t have to go in and out of the War Emperor’s library.”
“…yes?”
Rifts aren’t common on the Arcana continent, so you don’t seem to know.
The moment when the library of warlords collapsed.
No one can predict what will happen to Antonium?
‘I have to stop it right now.’
92.7 percent.
It’s not for nothing that there is a saying that when you think you’re late is the earliest. Let’s think positively. If you don’t use it even once in the future, it’s no different from 0 percent.
Actually, it’s like a heart.
‘How the rifts are treated in this world.’
I wanted to explain in great detail.
I had learned a lesson from talking about it at the pulpit in the Crystal Hall of the Mage Tower.
Let’s explain it a hundred times in words.
No one can understand the concept of a completely different world.
‘Because Grandfel is strange.’
Thanks to that, I had no choice but to come up with another reason now.
Of course, no matter how good this guy’s pride is.
Because I can’t spit out a sound I don’t like.
I had no choice but to declare it proudly as always.
“A situation that can be called a desperate crisis will no longer arrive on the Arcana continent beyond the empire.”
“…!”
“I will.”
Seriously, that level of self-confidence is staggering.
The emperor responds to my words.
…The corner of the mouth goes up secretly?
‘Am I laughing?’
Rather than being angry, I am deeply ashamed.
Yeah, I thought it was arrogant even after I said it.
How absurd must the emperor be to hear?
I thought so, but it didn’t seem like a mockery.
“How strange it is.”
A serious voice follows.
“It feels as if you are carrying the same burden as me… no, even heavier than I am. It truly touches my heart.”
is it?
In fact, even if you look at it objectively, you are carrying too much.
I guess I felt the sincerity there.
“So all your words come to me as comfort.”
The emperor laughed lightly this time as well.
But maybe it was because I saw her laugh right before, so I could tell them apart.
This time, it was a bitter smile with bitter feelings.
‘Apart from trusting me.’
It must be that he can’t easily let go of his burden as an emperor.
Well, I’m not in a position to get angry if you don’t trust me.
Because that would be the emperor’s pride.
But you can trust this one.
『The feeling of humility did not exist in Grandfel. Proof of underestimation. I had to make the overestimation a reality.”
Even if it sounds like bluffing now.
I will make Grand Fell come true.
No, I’ll struggle until I realize it.
So you can watch it, Emperor.
If possible, live as long as possible.
*
The promised day has come.
The top floor of the Magic Tower.
Topju licked his fur with his tongue.
“Isn’t it very grandiose, Chief Marcelo?”
“What do you mean, Tower Lord?”
“It’s the promised day, so don’t you think you’ve been looking forward to this moment? It’s only one day. I am asking if this kind of hospitality is too much.”
A day in real time.
Even on the Arcana continent, it was only four days.
But look at the number of people gathered on the top floor of the Magic Tower.
Calling all the senior wizards to the chief elder of the tower.
“It’s more luxurious than when I came back.”
“Are you jealous?”
“What then?”
“My tail is wagging, Tower Lord. You’re not good at lying, after all.”
“Tsk. If only it wasn’t for this beast’s body.”
Marcelo smiled and continued.
“It’s not too much, though. Sir, this is not the first time you have entered the Arcana Continent, but isn’t there a companion this time? We need to be more careful than just celebrating the safe return.”
As if the magic tower was going all out.
The reason for waiting for Ho-yeol on the top floor is simple.
Except for Hoyeol, it can be said to be the first.
To commemorate the round trip between reality and the Arcana continent.
At the same time, it was to respond to an unexpected situation.
healing magic.
pure magic.
Black magic…
The 20 senior wizards were experts in their respective fields.
Even if something goes wrong with Kichi, who is traveling between reality and the Arcana continent, he can quickly respond in various ways.
The pure magic science senior bangrit whispered.
“…But do you really need us?”
Banshi, the senior in flame magic, replied without a whisper.
“Again again. Are you going to sound so confident?”
“It’s not like that… You know Chief Lee is there, right?”
“Tsk tsk. You know only one and don’t know the other, Senior Bangrit.”
“yes…?”
Banshee put strength on his shoulders after a long time.
It has to be.
In such a situation, the only opponent Banshee could open his chest proudly was Bangrit, who was younger than himself and had an immature personality. He whispered like when Banshee was giving his brother Nash a move.
“This is all about promoting friendship…!”
“…Are you making friends?”
“That’s right. In fact, everyone here knows! If there is any problem, I know that Chief Lee will solve it. However, visible sincerity is more important than intention.”
“Showing sincerity is important…?”
“Why in aristocratic society…”
Banshee tried to follow through, but added, sorry.
“Ah Bangrit, you’re not looking down on me for being a commoner, are you? I swear by the proud William family. It is just to help you understand.”
“…haha. of course.”
Banshee is often misunderstood for his light words and actions, but
Bangrit knows his true heart.
If you were thinking of discriminating because you were a commoner.
In the first place, he probably wouldn’t even have a conversation with himself, senior Bensh.
“Even the seemingly unnecessary and inefficient behaviors have meaning. For example, the tableware at the dinner table has an order of use!”
“iced coffee…!”
As soon as I heard your kind example, I understood.
“I had a hard time because I wasn’t used to it.”
You don’t know how much agony I had for a while after entering the Magic Tower.
At the mage’s tower banquet held every anniversary, the nobles asked if he had multiple hands, and that’s why he used multiple spoons and forks.
“It’s a situation similar to that, you mean?”
“That’s right! Isn’t this formal?”
“Mmmmm…”
Bangritt murmured.
Thanks to Banshee, I understood, but something strangely took hold.
Chief Lee emphasizes formality, but he doesn’t consider formality as important
.
‘I know that because I’ve experienced it.’
To buy favor with such Ho-yeol.
It was because I was a bangrit who was stopped at the front door while visiting the office.
Whether or not you know your own story.
Banshee even spat out a laugh.
“So I’ve been diligently looking through the books these days. Why do you know the book The Nobleman’s Writing? That page alone is thousands of pages…”
Bangritt was convinced there.
‘You tripped again, Mr. Bensh.’
It wasn’t because of the greeting that his application for the tower was rejected without fail. I wanted to tell you the point, but I couldn’t afford to do that to Bangrit.
-I’m sorry…!
For a moment, a telepathic message rang in my head.
It wasn’t just delivered to Bangrit.
Senior mages startled.
“…!”
We got to know each other the moment we exchanged glances.
This was telepathy passed on to all the senior mages.
Marcelo, the elder Yugwid, and the tower master also noticed.
Yugweed trembled.
“Looks like we don’t have something like this.”
Now that all wizards of senior rank or higher have gathered on the top floor of the Mage Tower.
The one who sent the telepathy must be a skilled wizard at best.
It is only natural that the senior mage would not dare to transmit telepathy to the chief elder tower owner.
The top lord said nonchalantly.
“So what’s going on?”
Telepathy from inside the Mage Tower to inside.
It’s rare.
Soon the senior wizards opened their mouths.
Because the news was so unbelievable.
I’m not sure, blurting the tail of the horse.
“…They say that an uninvited guest has entered the Magic Tower.”
“?”
Even before the cataclysm.
It was unprecedented after that.
Of course.
Arcana’s strongest armed group.
The majesty of the Mage Tower was even higher in the past than it is now.
Yugweed and Topju faced each other.
“Isn’t this interesting, Tower Lord?”
However, Marcelo blocked their curiosity in advance.
“Has the identity of the uninvited guest been identified?”
Matisse bowed his head.
“I will ask you right now.”
Even then, Marcelo did not take it seriously.
Unlike the past, the magic tower was opened. Reporters with cameras were resident in the lobby, and there were players constantly warping through the portal.
‘Even if he entered the upper floor.’
If you are a skilled mage, you will be able to organize the situation.
that he was not concerned
However, the moment Matisse frowned.
Marcelo had a hunch.
It seems that things are going differently than expected.
Matisse opened his mouth.
“Invaders break through the siege of skilled wizards.”
“…!!!”
“They say they are trying to enter the Crystal Hall.”
Marcelo asked without embarrassment.
“So what is it?”
“As an Arcana, not an adventurer…”
Matisse’s eyes sank.
“He is said to be one of the members of the Shadow Mercenary Corps.”
Shadow Mercenaries.
when the name comes out.
Yugweed was serious.
“Damn the shadow mercenaries…”
The gentle giant Yugweed.
The giant, who seldom shows emotion, was expressing his uncomfortable feelings as they were. It had to be. Yugwid had a small bad relationship with the Shadow Mercenaries.
Yugweed opened his mouth.
“I’ll take care of the uninvited guests.”
It is unknown for what reason they approached the Mage Tower.
But that was an obvious mistake.
Yugweed muttered softly.
“I didn’t think it could be rewritten in the first place.”
It was the moment I was about to take a step.
“…?”
Shoo-oo-!
top floor.
A cluster of brilliant magic lights floating in the air.
Everyone in the seat could see it.
“!!!”
That’s not a normal portal.
Only those who have reached the state can express it.
A portal that connects dimensions and dimensions.
Soon, a familiar sound came from within the group of lights in the portal.
Again—
the voice of the chief mage, Ho-yeol, was heard.
“I am not an uninvited guest.”
Hoyeol said so.
…What does it mean?
It was a moment everyone pondered over.
“I was expecting this too.”
…expected?
How could this chief, who was on the Arcana continent, predict the situation here? It took a while for everyone to fall into doubt, but they realized it only after the portal completely disappeared.
through connector.
The leader of the shadow mercenaries who headed to the Arcana continent with Ho-yeol.
Because I couldn’t see kitsch.
Ho-yeol opens his mouth while tidying up his clothes.
“Are you going to replace the leader who didn’t keep his promise?”
A cold voice addressed Yugweed.
“Will you give up your seat, Elder Yugweed Wizard?”
“You mean concessions, Chief Lee…?”
“Their pride, let me check ‘strictly’.”
