: Finish (2)

"The battery tube has disappeared ."

King Friedmoor smiled faintly as he heard the hasty report from his servant.

"I mean, you really found a secret."

He headed to the library, which was reserved only for the king.

When the king arrived there, he walked to the deepest part of the library.

There was a small safe locked in front of him with all sorts of magical devices.

When the king brought his index finger to the safe, the magic engraved on the safe began to identify the king's fingerprints.

shudder-

Soon, the sound of the lock being released from inside was heard.

When I lifted my finger, the door to the safe opened on its own, and inside was a well-kept book.

The book seemed to have aged quite a bit, although it was well kept.

King Friedmoor carefully took out the book and opened it.

On the first page it was written:

[A demon who cannot hide his greed has come to me.]

This book is the record of a man who existed 500 years ago.

He was the founding king of this country, and he was a great wizard.

Yes.

The author of the book is King Friedmoor.

And this book was the first King Friedmoor's diary essay, 'Records with the Devil'.

A secret document handed down only to the king and penetrating the entire history of the Kingdom of Seldam.

[At that time, I was wandering the world. Because I wondered what the world was. In the process, I learned several secrets. A secret that can shake the whole world that cannot be told to anyone.]

[But the more secrets he learned, the more unbearable anger he became. On the one hand, I couldn't sleep every day because of the great fear. It was around that time that I began to gather forces.]

[Luckily, a rather large force was created. They were too many colleagues for me. That was it. The devil came.]

[The devil came to me after hearing the rumor that I had the greatest influence in the vicinity. Not knowing his true nature at the time, I joined hands with the devil.]

[The devil had special powers. Its power was terrifying, and it began to expand its power at a tremendous rate.]

[There was a country called Sodom. It was a small country, but the evil of the king and nobles went beyond the limit. The devil offered me to conquer it. Because it was a good thing, they gathered nearby forces and attacked Sodom.]

[Sodom was a weak country, so it was not difficult to conquer it. I built the present Kingdom of Seldam on the site of Sodom.]

[I became the king of a country, but I was not very happy. It was like knowing some of the secrets of the world. It was thought that a country alone could not stand up to the great power that would come one day.]

[It was then that the devil whispered. Somehow, the devil knew that I knew some of the secrets of the world.]

[He suggested. This is not enough. The darkness of the world is much darker than I thought, so let's make a deal.]

[The devil then said to me.]

'There is no answer anyway. Then let's bet on the future. You have a short life, but I can live a very long time. I will enter your crown. There I will pass on the information I know to the humans selected by you and your descendants. However, the real purpose of this work is not to disseminate my knowledge. I'm waiting for a human with a high level of sympathy with me to appear. If you are a human with a high level of sympathy with me, you must be gifted with the talent to remove the darkness of the world. How about my suggestion. Will you accept it, King Friedmoor?'

[It was a sensible suggestion. I didn't know the lifespan of the devil, but I knew that it would save several times the time of an ordinary human.]

[On the one hand, I could understand. That there's nothing good for the devil in that offer. Unless infinite altruism exists, being confined to a crown and enduring at least several decades or even hundreds of years would be like hell.]

[And, the demons I've seen weren't like that at all. It was then that I found out that the devil was a 'devil'.]

[But I couldn't resist his suggestion. Because he knew he was hiding his power. That's why I came up with this book, 'Records with the Devil'.]

[I declare that this book is only open to the heirs of the throne. The kings who will read this book command them to swear by this decree. Never take out the contents of a book. If you break the word, you will die on the spot.]

[And kings, if a person with a high degree of sympathy with the devil appears, be sure to trust him.]

[The fact that the devil does not know. The power he possesses is that it is a fragment of someone who existed a long time ago. And, a being with a high degree of sympathy that will appear someday is a character that even the devil can't control.]

[Kings must do their best to protect him until he grows up. That will be an important key to protect Seldam and the world.]

There was more content behind it, but it wasn't necessary to look at it.

King Friedmoor put the 'Records with the Devil' back into the vault and sealed it.

"In the end, your will is done."

battery tube.

The crown of the first king containing the devil has disappeared.

And Jamie Welton appeared with new powers.

"But you are also wrong."

King Friedmoor said, remembering the first King Friedmoor, whom he had only seen in portraits.

"I don't think he is something to be protected."

The Jamie Welton he saw was already complete.

And it was something to be perfected in the future.

I was personally curious.

How far will he grow?

How will you grow up?

The important thing is that he will have a profound influence on the national interest in the future.

"I look forward to the future."

The king smiled quietly, stood up, and stepped outside.

* * *

"I didn't know your Majesty would just pass by."

Rinmer sighed in relief.

No matter how Jamie was appointed as the Master, the coffin of the battery was the most valuable among Seldam's national treasures.

Even though such a thing has disappeared, it must be because there is a good reason why it was sent to the public domain.

"After all, there was something in the Friedmoor dynasty, as we expected."

Raymon said, sipping tea.

Siegfried, who was standing next to him, nodded and saw a small child sitting at the top, no, Jamie, too big to be called a child anymore.

"I did not know that the true identity of the coffin of the battery was the first king, Gav."

"It is shocking that such a thing has been hiding and deceiving the entire Kingdom of Seldam, but on the other hand, it seems that it is our mistake that we did not even find out.

Following Siegfried's words, Simon spoke with a slightly embarrassed expression.

Rinmer nodded with a serious expression on his face.

"I'm glad it's over now. Jamie's ball is great."

"It's even a ball. They just gave me back to target me."

Jamie said so and looked at the crowd.

Elder Linmer, Elder 4, Raymon Elder, Elder Siegfried, Elder Simon 8.

As the elders of the magic world, they had the same purpose and came to be gathered in one place.

And they were the ones who knew Jamie's secret.

"By the way, you've grown so much that it's embarrassing."

Raymon looked at Jamie with a curious look.

"I'm still not used to it."

And Jamie contemplated his own body.

It was still awkward to move with sudden growth, but it was gradually getting better.

And he was constantly admiring the performance of his body.

A starlight born from the pole of black mana.

After fully absorbing it, Jamie met physical evolution on the spot.

As all impurities accumulated in the body were drained, the skeleton and muscles were rebuilt, and the mana cores were further strengthened to contain more mana with high purity.

Gimaek was also thickened to make the mana circulation smoother than before, which was not too far behind compared to the heyday.

Considering the potential for growth, if you grow more than you are now, you will easily surpass your heyday's body.

In fact, the biggest reason for this evolution was that it reabsorbed the holy light into darkness, but it was because of the synergy effect with the Life Orb.

Plus, he's just entering the growing season, so as the years go by, his growth will explode.

'The background is perfectly prepared.'

The body before evolution was great, but the body now will surpass even the limits of the previous life.

Swordsmanship will also increase to an incomparable extent.

Everything is running towards the best.

"What do you plan on doing now?"

To Rinmell's question, Jamie put her hands on the desk and answered.

"I plan to focus on training for the next few years."

"Closed?"

"It's not close to closing, but I think we need time to focus."

What is the most pressing thing right now?

Swords are important too, but now is the time to focus on magic.

"Five years. In five years, I will be in 9th class."

The four wizards only widened their eyes in spite of that whimsical declaration, and no one denied it.

I didn't know his past life.

"Five years ."

"In five years, I must be quite agitated, right?"

"It is the same. It is not easy to catch up."

"Heh heh heh, this old man has already been caught up, so we should have fun watching it."

The wizards threw one word at a time, and Jamie smiled in front of him.

It's the next 5 years.

'That way, you can stand on the true starting line.'

Slowly, the Zenith Church began to wriggle.

According to recent news, the countries of the Eastern Continent, where the Zenith Church had its headquarters, began to protect the Zenith Church.

At the same time, they were spreading false facts claiming that the work in Apton was an alienation and falsification of the Kingdom of Seldam.

Due to such conflicts, several small-scale battles took place on the border that overlapped the northern continent.

A full-fledged war could not be said, but Jamie thought it was only a matter of time.

'Jenice.'

No matter what anyone says, the first god to kill is none other than Zenith.

Jamie clenched his fists as if he was about to crumble at any moment.

The time to take revenge on that day is approaching.

Starting with Zenith, I will bring them down one by one.

'For sure in this life. I'll definitely finish it, you fakes.'

Jamie's eyes turned purple.

* * *

Dang- Dang- Dang-

Light poured down through the cracks in the windows with the sound of a bell.

There, a boy in a priest's robe was praying, facing the symbol of the Pyro goddess.

There was only a boy in the large parish.

The boy raised his bowed head and slowly got up from his seat.

Then, someone knocked on the door of the parish.

"Apostle. This is Lars."

Come on in.

The door opened and Lars, a familiar face, walked in.

The boy, Ricky, looked at him and smiled when he saw that the door was closed.

"What's going on, Lars?"

"It is in front of the Goddess."

"How are you? Goddess will understand. Is that right, Goddess?"

"I want."

Ricky looked at the symbol of the Pyro and waved his hand, and Lars shook his head as if he couldn't stop it.

It would have been blasphemy if anyone else had done it, but Ricky was the only apostle of the goddess Pyro.

Because he was closer to God than anyone else, God would pretend he didn't see his pranks.

"Are you praying today?"

"It always is. what's up bro? Do you have any interesting news?"

sure.

Ricky's eyes widened at those words.

There were, in fact, few news that Lars had personally come to deliver, and one of them was definitely from a close friend.

"It's news from Jamie!"

Lars smiled and nodded.

"What? What else did he do this time?"

The last news Ricky heard from Jamie was that he had defeated the Count of the Demon World who had descended into the magical realm.

When I heard that, a shiver ran through my whole body.

Lars looked at Ricky, full of anticipation, and spoke with a grin.

Ricky. We need to be a little more savvy."

"What do you mean all of a sudden?"

"I mean, Jamie. You have been appointed the Master of the Kingdom of Seldam."

" master?

Ricky didn't know exactly what Seldam's Master was, so Lars explained it in detail.

Ricky's eyes widened as he listened to the story, and his face became full of smiles.

"Child Jamie! I thought you were chasing after me, but you've been ahead of me again!

I thought he had been chasing me to some extent by working hard, but his friend widened the distance again.

But Ricky was not disappointed.

On the contrary, I was motivated.

"Like my brother said, I have to work hard."

okay. You will definitely have a good fight with Jamie."

"You can't just be protected by Jamie like you used to. I don't know when we'll see each other, but then I'll stand by Jamie and fight with him.

Ricky said so and raised his right hand.

The Pyro's divinity erupted out of his hand.

Seeing this, Lars' eyes trembled slightly.

'I'm already at this level .'

It has been less than a year since he came to the headquarters, but Ricky has acquired bishop-level divine power.

He also received daily swordsmanship training from the leader of the Holy Executioner, the highest armed group of the Pyro Church, so it wasn't too far off to qualify as an official paladin.

Ricky was struggling every day to somehow somehow stand alongside his friend.

"This is not the time to be like this. I need to go and unwind."

"It's already time for guidance."

Yeah. I feel re-energized. Jamie Guy. Next time we meet, I'll be very surprised and have to make you fall in love.

Ricky made up his mind and left the main hall.

Alone, Lars scratched his head and looked at the symbol of the goddess.

Then he put his hands together and prayed to the goddess.

"Let both children be safe."

So, five years have passed.
