Chapter 186: What's engraved in history
Empire.
In the capital, Antonium, there were a lot of talented people gathered. But not as much as the Mage Tower. The most talented people on the continent headed to the Mage Tower.
There was a common saying that if you were a skilled mage of the Mage Tower, you could be revered as a high-ranking mage outside of the Mage Tower.
The highest-ranking mage in the Empire, Nash William.
Nash was biting his nails in the corner.
He thought of his only older brother, Bensch William.
Hyungnim
When he was young.
Bensch was an older brother who was evaluated as having talent comparable to the Fire Dragon.
Regardless of his talent, his older brother didnt feel intimidated anywhere.
Bensch hyungnim always showed a dignified appearance befitting his age.
Although he wasnt as talented as his brother to enter the Mage Tower, Nash did his best.
He devoured magic books day and night to gain knowledge of magic in various fields.
And in recognition of his abilities, he rose to the position of the highest-ranking mage in the Empire.
But today.
Nash was realizing his own limit.
What should I do, hyungnim!
He missed his brother so much today.
He couldnt help it.
In front of the Emperors throne room.
The ministers came to the corner and whispered.
Sir Nash, can you measure it?
No.
I dont know.
Irresponsible words came up to Nashs throat.
What on earth?!
What was that spirit who was having an audience with His Majesty?
Elegant.
The elegance that radiated from her exterior made her worthy of being called the Spirit King.
Yes, lets concede a hundred times and think that the spirit king had made an unusual appearance.
The problem was.
She was visible to everyone, including to him!
The basics of spirit magic.
Spirit magic was the magic of the chosen ones.
You had to meet the strict conditions to witness the spirit in its natural state.
But if shes visible to everyone
That meant it was a contract spirit, a spirit that had made a contract with someone.
Nash felt like he was having a meltdown.
Someone made a contract with a spirit king!
What kind of mage could do that?
Would Bensch hyungnim know this?
His ugly self couldnt even fathom it.
Nash, who was in a state of despair, came to his senses.
Either way, this was good news.
Nash cleared his throat loudly and said.
It seems that God has not abandoned the Empire.
The ministers were whispering.
I was asking about the spirit, what are you saying?
Bensch hyungnim!
It seemed he still lacked power, unlike his big brother
Nash sighed and added.
What the spirit brought was the flag that Sir Harkon received from His Majesty before leaving for the northern expedition. Perhaps that spirit came to His Majesty with news of Sir Harkon and the Knights of Lionheart.
The ministers faces finally light up.
No, was the flag that important?
Does that mean Sir Harkon is alive?
Then you should have told me earlier, Sir Nash!
The voices of the minister pierced his ears.
Nashs eyes dimmed.
Bensch hyungnim, where did you disappear to with the Mage Tower? I dont think I am suited to being a bureaucrat. Please, if you would just accept your ugly brother Nash as an apprentice mage
Just as Nash was pessimistic about his situation.
Creak
The door to the throne room opened.
The Emperor said.
Everyone is welcome to come in.
!!!
The general, the ministers, and finally Nash entered the throne room.
The spirit was still there floating in the air with an elegant posture.
The Emperor opened his mouth.
The spirits name is Haiel.
Haiel?
Clearly, there was no spirit king with that name written in the book.
As Nash was thinking, the words continued.
Chrysiad Four Seasons Leaf.
Now, hold on a second. Your Majesty?
It might be blasphemous, but had His Majesty heard it correctly?
Was that really the name of the spirit?
Although it was impossible to determine the status of the spirit by its name, the name and appearance were definitely unusual.
Nash couldnt help but look up to his brother again.
Hyungnim, is there a spirit emperor above the spirit king?
He didnt know why the little brother was lacking.
Nash lowered his head, but the Emperor calmly continued his speech. At his next words, Nash naturally raised his head in surprise.
T-The Mage Tower?
The Mage Tower.
The Mage Tower where his hyungnim was safe.
Not only that.
The Knights of Lionheart, including Harkon?
Frost didnt disappear without a trace!
Thats right. There is no way the sacred place of the Goddess, Muon, will collapse!
The people who had disappeared from the continent without a trace were alive.
He said they were in a world different from the Arcana Continent.
They were alive and breathing.
The Emperor opened his mouth.
I dont know what you think of me.
The spirit, Haiel, had said.
The Arcana Continent and the world of adventurers.
There was a rupture between the two worlds.
They couldnt immediately understand it, but right now, it was enough.
Shamefully, I was relieved.
For failing to protect them as the emperor.
He should blame himself for not noticing.
His emotions boiled over and it was difficult to suppress.
But the Emperor didnt forget his job.
Also, the incredible story begins now.
Yes.
He had to tell them the heroic story that Haiel had told him.
It would be a shame if he kept it to himself.
Listen. Make sure you write down everything.
Brush
Soon, the Emperors words began to be engraved on parchment.
They saved Frost from the clutches of the demon? Adventurers who hide their identities on the Arcana Continent are risking their lives?
The Mage Tower, those arrogant mages have started to move. They didnt even follow His Majestys words, the orders of His Majestys predecessors, or anyone else!!
The dwarves are helping the Empire, the humanity?
All of the unbelievable news was becoming history recognized by the Emperor. That included what happened just yesterday.
The retreat of dozens of feudal lords under Duke Ymir who surrounded Antonium. And the Sword Saint and Grand Sword Master, Shegwin
Sss
While the feather pen was writing without hesitation.
One of the subjects said.
They didnt dare to doubt His Majestys words, but.
Your Majesty, these achievements are hard to believe.
Hmm.
The Emperor nodded.
Indeed, it could be seen that way.
But here was the greatest guarantee of all.
Flutter!
The Emperor unfurled the flag.
The symbol of the Lionheart, a flag with a lion on it.
On the back, there were letters written in various handwriting.
Yesica Bright.
Enoch Lauren.
Kazet Unow.
The last knight commander, Harkon.
Those were the names of the knights of Lionheart.
The man who raised the question carefully looked at the names.
Soon, his eyes turned red.
He had been doubtful because he didnt want to be disappointed due to vain expectations.
This made it clear.
This handwriting
Kazet, my son. Youre safe.
It was definitely his sons.
I apologize, Your Majesty. I will clear my doubts.
The Emperor revisited the last phrase.
Please be safe, my lord.
How could he forget Harkons handwriting?
The Knights of Lionheart had embarked on an expedition to the north.
After they disappeared, the Emperor continued to blame himself.
I contemplated your participation and regretted it countless times.
The Emperor.
My concern has been a waste, but Im glad for that, Harkon.
Now he was smiling.
He continued speaking.
And all these achievements come from a single man, so make sure that you write his name correctly.
!!!
Gulp!
In a state of tension.
Savior of the Empire.
That name.
A ray of light in the infinitely deep darkness.
It echoed from the Emperors mouth.
Lee Hoyeol.
*
Indeed, I could feel that the time on the Arcana Continent was faster than in reality.
Clink
The moment I put down the teacup with the teabag in it, my vision flashed.
[Your relationship with the Capital City Antonium has increased significantly.]
[Your influence in the Capital City Antonium has increased significantly.]
The flag of Harkon and the Knights of Lionheart.
It seemed Haiel had safely delivered the news to the emperor.
By the way, Haiel
What kind of news did you deliver and how did you deliver it?
I had expected an increase in relationships and influence.
Even setting aside the circumstances.
I had succeeded in driving out the rebels, including Shegwin.
As if to prove that, the quest goal was also updated.
[Main quest: Warring States Period]
A time of upheaval.
Is it simple power that it is header for?
Is it the emperors incompetence?
Or is it a fate that cant be resisted?
The continents powerful people covet the throne.
Your choice will create a new flow.
Defend Antonium. (Successful)
As a result, I saved the Empire from crisis.
The quest reward was to be expected.
But wasnt this reward too much?!
[Your relationship with the Empire has reached the maximum.]
It was already at the maximum?!
I suddenly remembered Haiels track record.
Didnt the dwarves have misconceptions about me because of Haiels big mouth that closely resembled Grandfels?
You really spiced it up a lot this time too, Haiel.
Yeah, since things have already spilled, lets think positively.
It was simple.
Even if Diend didnt come forward, what happened now?
Their ugly plan has come to naught.
You can spit out the word misconception and not feel stung.
I see, your iron skin is getting thicker day by day. Grandfel.
But wasnt over yet.
There was another quest updated.
[Quest: Useless Act]
Shegwin regarded the demon hunt as useless.
Talk to Shegwin,
Get to know the truth of his actions.
Encounter Shegwin. (Successful)
-Find out the link between Shegwin and the demon. (Successful)
Hunt the demon of true name, Shegwin (In Progress)
Shegwin was not possessed by a demon.
He was corrupted and turned himself into a demon.
He seemed to think he simply regained his youth, but those pitch-black pupils were a thing of the demons. Above all, the [Natural Enemy Relationship] activated was the clear evidence.
Social gathering of time and space.
Because of its rule, I couldnt succeed in the quest.
I spoke.
Unreasonable rules need to be revised.
You may not know this, but I am completely against it, Grandfel.
Shegwin was a demon.
Even if I could have a chance of winning with [Natural Enemy Relationship].
Other transcendents were there too.
This guy had the personality of not being careful with what he said!
Above all, there was no reason for Grandfel to view the transcendents favorably.
Actually, even to my eyes, they seemed dishonorable.
They were so strong.
And yet they didnt take any action.
Until the Arcana Continent was destroyed by the demons.
They may have some circumstances like the Mage Tower.
Would Grandfel even consider their circumstances?!
This time, Shegwin was the goal.
But once this was over, what about next time?
Its terrible just to imagine.
The transcendents absolutely didnt have pride.
Just imagine rebuking them!
Once again, I was more grateful for the social gatherings procedures.
Of course, Shegwin, you are an exception.
He didnt get possessed and had his body taken away, he became a demon himself.
Besides, he didnt have any great purpose.
Just to get his youth back?
It cant get more foolish.
Who wanted that.
Just hearing the words eternal life.
It made me tremble from the fear of suffering the dark history for the rest of my life!!
Shegwin, you
Youre so lucky to have such a good life.
Even I couldnt forgive him.
There was no need to explain how Grandfel felt.
A strong man like Shegwin wouldnt lose his life to anyone.
That meant we would collide one day.
You shouldnt be so proud for freeing the circle.
The circle amplified magic manifestation by 1,000 percent.
But Shegwin was also a transcendent.
I didnt know what effect his swordsmanship and sword training would have. But it definitely would be as tremendous as the circle.
In the end, I have to be prepared.
In my own way.
I had to be fully prepared in all directions.
Naturally, that included swordsmanship.
Suddenly, I thought of Shegwins famed sword.
It looked really great.
Well, I didnt think my weapon would fall behind either.
I cant wait for the day to see you again, ethereal iron.
The best blacksmith among the dwarves, Worswyle, must be smelting the ego equipment! Therefore, what I needed was swordsmanship skills and a physical body that matched the equipment.
And I knew a great teacher who could pass that to me.
No, I wasnt close enough with them to call them teacher
I didnt waste time.
Sss
I immediately scribbled with the feather pen.
The recipient was the president of the League of Explorers, Fabian Delon.
My purpose was the magic tool of the League of Explorers, [Torch of Hell].
