Episode 396. The Warlord’s Library (2)
The man manifested a teleport.
“Stop!”
Imperial Palace Wizard Nash William. He sensed the fluctuating mana and tried to hold on to the man, but it was not enough. The man dispersed through the smoke and left a single word.
“You will need me, little Ceric Rose.”
The swaying emperor’s focus.
The corner of the man’s bizarrely twisted mouth twitched for the last time.
“Don’t wait.”
When the man disappeared completely, the servants flocked to the emperor.
I thought he was a dangerous guy with his disrespectful behavior.
I never thought he would be a wizard with such skills.
Nash asked the Emperor.
“Are you okay, Your Majesty?”
“Okay.”
“It was my mistake in bringing that man into the imperial palace. When I imitated the appearance of Sir Ho-Yeol Lee, who was no one else, with his hair, I should have noticed the disquieting intentions…!”
If it was Benshi-nii-sama, he would have seen it through.
Nash resents his insight for not being able to see through such magic.
Despite the concerns of the subjects, the emperor spared his words.
-“Why did Seric Rose join Cloudy’s extinction? The reason is that it is recorded in the Emperor’s library. Stupid Seric Rose who knows nothing.”
It was because the words the man had left echoed constantly in his head.
The reaction of the servants talking around was correct.
I had to dismiss it as nonsensical nonsense.
‘It’s recorded in the War Emperor’s library…’
The man added so.
The emperor was well aware of the weight of the former emperor’s library. A treasure trove of wisdom that allowed insignificant Ceric Rose to maintain her position in the imperial family. Because that was the Emperor’s library.
but.
– “The moment you borrow the power of the Emperor’s library, your authority as an emperor ends that day. So, don’t borrow the power of the library until you choose your successor.”
My father said so.
And after the father himself was chosen as the next emperor. For the survival of the continent, he stepped into the war library.
After asking Seogo a question and hearing the answer, he died within a few days.
The Emperor opens his mouth.
“Listen instead.”
Shuk.
The servants bow their heads in unison.
“I intend to access the Emperor’s library.”
“…!”
Astonishment appeared on the faces of those who knew the weight of the library at that declaration.
In particular, the imperial palace mage Nash heard the truth directly from the emperor a while ago about the warlord’s library.
His servants, including Nash, dissuaded him.
“Your Majesty, why would you say such a thing? The prince is still too young to bear the weight of the throne.”
“Yes, Your Majesty! Moreover, it is safe to say that the present Arcana Continent is in the Age of Warring States. The Empire desperately needs Your Majesty’s care.”
“your majesty…!”
The emperor shook his head.
“I know your concerns. But don’t worry I intend to go in and out of the Emperor’s Library, I have no intention of asking questions to the Emperor’s Library.”
Why is it a library?
Seric Rose.
It was a library because the answers the ancestors sought from the library were fully recorded. The emperor was just thinking of looking back at the answers recorded by his ancestors.
‘I just want to check.’
It was always questionable.
Great family Cloudy.
One day, they suddenly disappeared without a trace on the Arcana continent.
denied in history.
In order to do that, he would have needed a lot of power.
There is only one such power on the Arcana continent.
‘…Empire.’
If it were the Empire, Cloudy’s traces could have been completely erased.
I could have dismissed it as bullshit.
It was a sense of responsibility that made the emperor move at this moment.
Lee Ho-yeol or Grand Fell Cloudy Arpheus Romeo.
He was the hero of the Empire and the Arcana continent.
It was to make eye contact with him.
Even if it was a lie, I wanted to confirm it.
The Empire says that Seric Rose has nothing to do with Cloudy’s extinction.
‘There can be no shame in front of him.’
Bubbly.
The emperor headed alone to the Emperor’s library in the basement of the imperial palace.
Suddenly, I remembered something that happened a while ago.
Sir Lee Ho-yeol had such a conversation with him around this time.
-“If you have any questions to ask the Emperor’s Library…”
If he wants.
It was the emperor who conceived the idea of using the emperor’s library at the cost of his own life. It was as if the empire, which was already more valuable than his own life, had been saved by him.
however.
-“Because you won’t have to go in and out of the war library.”
He rejected even that with lofty pride.
Yes, because such a conversation was clear in my memory.
Even though the emperor dismissed it as nonsense.
I had no choice but to move.
Soon, the light pouring from the air tickled the emperor’s eyes.
[Library of war situation]
[Recommended level: Unmeasurable]
[Collapse progress: 92.7%]
Because I’m not a player.
The emperor did not see such a message.
All I can see is the brilliant light of the rift.
It was the library of the emperor holding his own life. Is that why? I instinctively hesitated.
Even if it was a library where the knowledge of our ancestors lay dormant, I didn’t want to get close to it if possible.
Because that light looked like a monster’s mouth.
Because I didn’t want to know the knowledge accumulated through the deaths of my ancestors. But things have changed. The emperor instinctively suppressed his desire to survive and entered the light.
and faced
Squeak.
One, two, three…
parchment being turned over.
Inside the countless answers engraved on that parchment.
Seogo’s answer in exchange for his father’s life.
Shuk.
The emperor picked up the parchment and read slowly.
“…!”
The emperor’s pupils began to shake violently.
because it was written.
Why did the Empire sympathize with Cloudy’s extinction?
The emperor opened his mouth in vain.
──────
Cloudy will lead the Arcana Continent to destruction.
──────
“…why why?!”
*
The Holy Land of the Goddess Church, Muon.
Talim Ever, the leader of the Holy Knights, looked at Saint Freyza, who was kneeling in front of the statue of the goddess. In fact, to Talim, Freyza was still a being that he could not be friendly with.
The saintess Fraza who was revived from the past timeline.
‘…They say she’s farther away than me.’
However, Fraza’s appearance was no different from that of a girl.
Talim awkwardly smoothed his beard.
Even so, Talim treated Freyza entirely as a saint.
Her divine power was the greatest proof of anything.
Fraza praying to the goddess.
A divine energy flowed from her body. After Muon landed on the Arcana continent. None of the paladins, priests, or church members received the answer from the goddess.
Fraza received the only response from the goddess. Freyza was praying, and Talim, who was protecting her, approached Frayza only after the prayer was over.
“Thank you as always, Sir Talim.”
“No, saintess.”
Talim studied Fraza’s expression as he lowered his head.
Again today, my face was dark.
‘What kind of revelation did the goddess give?’
Are facial expressions always bad?
Talim was curious and concerned at the same time.
Thoughtful, Talim mustered up the courage to open his mouth.
“Saintess, is there something on your mind?”
At Talim’s question, Freyza asked back.
“Sir Talim, do you have any questions about me?”
“Suddenly a question…”
As I said earlier, Talim had cleared his doubts about Freyza.
Because to doubt the divine power was to doubt the goddess.
But there were other questions.
Talim continued with a serious face.
“If you say so… I have a question for you. Why did the saintess mention the judgment of the goddess to Sir Lee Ho-yeol, commander of the allied temple? I still don’t understand.”
Even Talim himself was shocked by his remarks.
Was it like he was expecting a question?
Fraza replied calmly.
“I assumed you would have questions. Because I still can’t clear my doubts. Maybe that’s why I kneel down in front of the goddess every day and pray.”
“…!”
Talim hesitated.
Why did Freyza’s complexion not look good after praying?
Because the reason was guessed.
Fraza opens his mouth.
“That’s right. The Goddess’ revelation of the infinite depth of darkness has not changed from yesterday to the present and even just a moment ago. According to the revelation, that infinitely deep darkness will one day swallow the Arcana continent with deep sorrow.”
Hold on.
Fraza gripped the pendant.
He was the revealer of the goddess who must not betray the will of the saintess goddess.
But at this moment, Fraza was shaking.
“As a saint, I followed his steps in the infinitely deep darkness on this earth. And I ran into a contradiction. His deeds… were so noble that even the Goddess Church couldn’t dare pursue them.”
Lee Ho-yeol.
There was no need to search his tracks.
The reason why the world of adventurers can be so safe.
It was safe to say that it was entirely thanks to Lee Ho-yeol.
Moreover, the Goddess Church could be intact.
Didn’t you say that the huge donations also came from him?
But above all material evidence.
“However, what I believe in is not what I see. Sir Talim. Even the goddess who is our everything is invisible to me and Lord Talim. Maybe I…”
“….”
“I don’t know if I believe in the invisible.”
It was.
Fraza postponed the referee.
As if you dare to doubt the will of the goddess.
There were plenty of reasons to pray every day and check the revelation again.
Lee Ho-yeol He is not an infinitely deep darkness.
“Infinitely deep darkness.”
“…”
“The existence of a ray of light shining through it.”
Talim finally understood everything.
Is it thanks to
Now I can answer with confidence.
“I dare to assure you, saintess.”
“…?”
“That single ray of light will never fade.”
Fraza managed to fake a laugh.
“I hope your faith is not violated, Lord Talim.”

I threw a fishing rod with a large bait called bad omen.
‘I wish I could just ask.’
Rayman Sean.
The result of synthesizing the testimonies about the guy.
In the end, there was no one on this planet who had ever encountered his true form. Even if it were true, I wouldn’t be able to fully believe it. Because he was able to imitate people as much as he could with his prototype.
‘It’s at a level where I have to doubt whether he’s human in the first place.’
Now the situation is different.
I’m a fisherman and this is the fish that Raymon Shen needs to catch. I didn’t feel like he was going to bite the bait easily.
Maybe it’s because I don’t feel the slightest bit of humanity.
“There is no time for trifling thoughts.”
Of course, I’m the only one getting shit.
My body was carrying out its routine as always at this moment. First of all, congratulations on the victory were delivered through Highel.
“I will greatly commend you for your achievements.”
Now you’re a total commander.
But I won’t argue. Why is motivation important in any job? I mean, discus’ body didn’t pay for it?
‘…I know that feeling better than anyone else.’
Even if you hunt a demon possessed by someone, it will not give you any loot. It was to the point of swallowing tears because I still felt sorry for the spoils of greed of the Seven Deadly Sins that I had missed so much.
But I didn’t even give you a little experience.
‘Should I pay performance bonuses at my own expense?’
This victory meant a lot. In particular, the growth of Nam Tae-min Hisagi was dazzling. It might be because of the synergistic effect of the buffs that flooded the Arcana Continent.
“It’s just the result of hard work.”
…Yes, how are you?
Anyway, as the commander-in-chief, I have to lead by example.
If you skip even one day, thorns will grow on your body.
If you ask me if I’m going to do a strength training.
‘No, that wouldn’t be hard work by the standards of Grand Fel?’
I will show you the message that has come into view.
[Understanding of Darkness (Curse): Significantly increases appropriate magic affinity. However, he must face the past, which is the source of suitable magical power. – Currently suitable magic affinity: 10%]
Yes, at this level, it can be said that it is an effort by the standards of Grandfel.
either physically or mentally.
In fact, I wanted to turn away because it seemed like an honest feeling.
Have you tried it once?
The aftereffects of looking into Grandfell’s past ‘that day’.
But there were words that were spoken. I’m going to enter the world of demons. In order to enter the world of demons, I have to develop Na Lee Ho-yeol’s abilities instead of relying on Grandfel.
that there is nothing you can do
[Enter the curse ‘Understanding of Darkness’.]
Really, it’s always infinitely deep. This guy’s darkness…
.
.
.
So what is it this time?
The moment the sight disappears.
The burning heat irritates the skin.
And the world slowly brightens.
‘!’
I have witnessed
A burning nameless city.
Among them, Grandfel, who was holding the Scarlet Flower.
A series of memories passing through my mind at the moment.
The actions of Granfell after ‘that day’.
Grandfell’s feelings.
Finally, the newly discovered truth.
『Granfell is not merciful.』
‘No way.’
The screams of humans echo from all directions like hell.
Soon I came to a conclusion.
This…
‘…Is it all your fault, Grand Fell?’
