Chapter 387
It was intended that Louis Reyna would care only for his personality and be vigilant.
“Now!”
When Raychen shouted, the wizard nodded and left the seat.
It was because they understood that they had to stop her as completely as possible, but that they couldn\'t do it on their own.
Instead, the wizard escaped with only one of the grimoires.
With this, the plan can be prevented from happening right now.
As Raichen drew her sword, her body collapsed.
This is because the sword is inscribed with a powerful poison and an incantation that interferes with the rotation of the magician\'s circle.
I don\'t know where she got this, but even she can\'t easily decipher it right now.
It\'s such a complicated curse.
Ruireina sat down and glared at Raychen.
“Ernesia... why...?”
Raychen was silent.
Without a word, he just drew his sword and turned his back.
He seemed to disappear, but he stopped walking.
“...I can\'t let such an absurd wish come true.”
“Why can\'t you understand?”
“Because I don’t understand. What you are trying to achieve is not salvation. It\'s a disaster. You are about to do something terrible.”
he drew a line
“But I really want you to watch over time. The world will surely develop even if it is not your secret wish. That\'s all I want you to know.”
After that, Louis Rayna shouted something behind him as he retreated, but Raychen didn\'t listen.
I don\'t even know if it was a word of resentment or if it meant something else.
By the time he left the church\'s temple and rejoined the Ernesia Kingdom army, the warlocks also began to retreat in a panic, as if they had noticed the leader\'s circumstances.
The soldiers drew their spears and tried to pursue them.
“do not do that!”
Reichen restrained the soldiers.
“Allies are also exhausted. If you pursue more than this, your allies will also suffer.”
At those words, the soldiers also stopped pursuing, as if they were convinced in their hearts.
Of course that\'s an excuse.
Raychen just didn\'t want to pursue it.
I had already betrayed in a way that was tantamount to cheating.
Chasing after this is also harsh.
So he turned his back on the battlefield.
Confident that he would never face Ruireina, the head of the warlocks, ever again.
Me and my older brother Dia. The three of us stared at the trick for a while without saying a word.
There are only a few pages left.
However, I needed some time to think before I finished reading.
“First of all, there are only a few chapters left, so let’s read and talk until the end.”
It is a law to listen to people\'s words to the end and read letters or memoirs to the end.
that\'s common sense
“After that, I never saw her again. At first, I was wary of thinking that she might come back to find the stolen magic book, but she never showed up.
The Dark Church also seemed to have fled somewhere to avoid the eyes of other countries.
Accordingly, I tried to dispose of the magic book I had stolen from her, but it was impossible. That\'s why I decided to just hide it here.”
Turning the page, his sentence continued.
“Even now, I regret it.
If I had noticed it a little earlier, I might have tried to somehow reverse her twisted assertion.
I think it\'s my mistake and shame that I couldn\'t convince them.
But I also couldn\'t help it.
It\'s not an excuse, but I didn\'t have a choice then.
I too was crowded.
Therefore, I would like to ask a descendent or someone who will read this memoir one day.
She will definitely try to achieve her long-cherished wish that she couldn\'t achieve at this time someday.
And then it will surely be irreversible.
I couldn\'t change her mind. Rather, he betrayed them in the worst possible way.
So I beg you
I won\'t try to persuade you.
just stop her
The world she dreams of is nothing short of catastrophic.”
Nothing more is written.
I closed the manuscript and put it back on the bookshelf.
“…Remorse?”
The older brother first recited that sentiment.
“Although it is known in history as a simple subjugation. In fact, it seems to have been made under quite unavoidable circumstances.”
In fact, it is described with a nuance that I regret quite a bit in my handwriting.
If I had the time, I get the feeling that I wanted to convince her properly.
Maybe he really considered her a close friend?
“But why didn\'t His First Majesty tell us about this...?”
“Well, I guess, but even if he wanted to tell us this, he couldn’t afford it.”
I quietly recalled the fact that I was guessing.
“Because he passed away suddenly two years after the subjugation was over.”
“Right. It certainly was on the record.”
Since then, the kingdom has been ruled by Reichen\'s sister as a proxy.
Although Raychen has a son, it is because he was just born at the time of his sudden death.
It is said that the younger sister of the first king was also quite a master. After enduring the plague in the past and surviving, it seems that she has unexpectedly awakened her talent as a mage.
Did you manage to keep the country alive with that talent?
15 years after that. Raychen\'s son formally inherits the succession.
Unlike my father, he had a policy of thoroughly rejecting warlocks.
In particular, I know that he has given considerable support to the current Mage Tower.
“In addition, from that time on, the perception of warlocks began to run the worst. It must have been hidden in order to prioritize the stability of the kingdom.”
Above all, he hid this fact because her secret wish was so outrageous.
“Even if it was reported to other countries, it was unknown how they would come out.”
“Hmm, that’s right.”
Even without a detailed explanation, my older brother understood.
If the woman\'s goal is to immortalize all mankind by fire, there is a high possibility that a madman who agrees with it will come out.
If that happens, a conflict will arise between the kingdoms before the black magician is checked.
So it would have been best to hide it.
However... even after reading this manuscript, there are a few suspicious corners... but let\'s assume that\'s the case.
“Instead, it seems to have been hidden like this in case you don’t know.
Hmm... I\'m sure...
I groped the walls in the room trying to find something.
“Arel, what are you looking for?”
“Obviously, in the memoir, he said he left it here. Then it must be somewhere. Look for Dia.”
“yes.”
Dia, who had been silent, searched around the room.
There are no other items here.
If so, there must be another place.
“It is under the bed.”
“under?”
She says there is a separate space under the bed.
“The bed itself is stuck to the floor.
I can\'t do it. Take it off.”
“yes.”
The bed itself was smashed open, revealing an entrance further downwards.
I can feel the intention to seal something strictly because it was openly covered with all kinds of magic barriers.
There won\'t be a chance to leak a single mana.
Still, since it was sealed 500 years ago, it didn\'t take a few minutes for Dia, who was fluent in the latest magic, to unlock it.
Under the judgment that there was no problem, we went down there.
“???”
?This.”
The oldest brother who looked into the room muttered.
Inside, it was a simple room made of plain stone structures.
But there is only one thick book in the middle.
“It\'s a magic book.”
Dia, the wizard, was the first to notice it besides me.
“It\'s a magic book...
I picked it up, touched the cover here and there, and opened it thinking it was better.
Then, countless magic circles unfold above our heads.
“okay! It seems that this is one of the artifacts created by the leader of the Dark Church mentioned in that note!”
It is one of the “Book of Eternity” or something.
“…is this what you mean?”
“Yes, it must be.”
I couldn\'t speak at this point, but when I looked at the composition of the magic circle with my own eyes, I could guess its purpose.
It\'s only half a picture, but I have a rough idea of what the woman wants to draw.
Really... was this what you were aiming for?
“I understand now. Why is the fort facing this way?”
“I see… Is it to find this? Wouldn\'t it be better to destroy it? Mage there, can you destroy this?”
“…It seems difficult.”
However, Dia quietly replied that it was difficult.
I guess so.
I gave a supplementary explanation as to why.
“This magic book itself has a fairly solid magic attached to it. Even after 500 years, not a single page will be discolored.”
And even in the handwriting, it is mentioned that it was not destroyed.
Perhaps the first king at the time also tried to destroy it.
Still, it was impossible, so it must have been hidden in a place like this in the end.
“For now, destruction is the most desirable, so I will try it, but I think it is better not to expect it.”
Hmm...
Jeil Hyung-nim\'s expression hardened.
Destruction is probably impossible.
And now the head of those madmen is coming to get this.
You will be disturbed in many ways.
“Your Majesty, destruction is not the only way. If we analyze this, we might be able to find a way to interrupt the priest\'s magic.”
“I see!”
Hearing that suggestion, his older brother\'s complexion brightened a little.
“okay! Just send this to the magic tower...”
My older brother, who was about to say ‘Let\'s analyze it!\', was speechless.
Yes, you blinked for a second.
I understand why he hesitated.
“...Now, the Mage Tower would be impossible.”
The magic tower has stretched out.
Many of them have become general wards instead of magic towers due to their current injuries.
However, entrusting this to a foreign mage tower is nonsense.
The potential for abuse is high.
I also skimmed through it, but if you analyze this, there are plenty of corners to use.
“So I’ll leave this to you.”
I decided to entrust the book to the most suitable person I could think of.
I slipped the book over to Dia.
“...is that what I\'m doing?”
“It won\'t be impossible. yes?”
Who do you think has taught you over the past few years?
“You’re a bit blocked by a wall these days, aren’t you?”
oops
Dia\'s eyes trembled.
Currently, Dia is a 7th class master.
However, there was still no sign of breaking through the wall beyond that.
From my point of view, I see that I have already achieved the condition to exceed that, but something is still lacking.
Originally, I was going to watch more leisurely.
I thought it was good for this Kim.
“Then, it would be helpful to see magic on a completely different level at this time. Including that, you do it.”
I\'m not going to let go of anything.
Of course I will help too.
And it\'s not a reluctant transfer.
Even if the top lord was fine, I would have given it to Dia for any excuse.
Even if you think about it coldly, it\'s because she is the most suitable talent.
“Can you?”
“I will try.”
She accepted the book as if she was determined.
