Chapter 147

Episode 147. The History of the Assembly and the Magician

“Are you talking about factions?”



Could it be that you waited for me?

But I couldn’t figure out why.

What am I waiting for to recruit you into the faction?

“is it so. I know you’re a necromancer. But cliques are a separate issue, right? You haven’t joined Morn’s clique yet, have you?”

“Factions seem like an early story to me.”

“no. doesn’t come Because now you have a ring, right?”

“ring?”

I looked at the ring that Hegel had given me.

In fact, it was an item that had no effect in the game, so it was just considered a decoration or souvenir. But does it actually have a different meaning?

“You don’t seem to know about the ring. May I explain?”

Aika looked at me like a child.

It was bizarre to feel the depth of age in his eyes, which was different from his appearance.

As I didn’t respond, just holding the ring, Aika started to explain.

“That ring was made together when the assembly was first formed. At that time, there were ten black magicians who founded the meeting. Ten rings were made with him.”

I didn’t know that.

There were 10 black magicians who created the gathering.

There are over 100 members now, so it has certainly grown.

“At first, it was just a ring for a sense of belonging to reveal membership in the assembly, but later, as the scale of the assembly increased and the original members died or retired one by one, the meaning changed. Soon, the rings became a symbol of the assembly’s power.”

Aika raised her hand and showed it.

There were many rings on her hand, one of which was a meeting ring.

“Since then, assemblies that have gone through various incidents and rises and falls, the meaning planted in this ring is strengthened. They officially set the rules.”

“rule?”

“It’s your rule. It was concluded that the assembly was basically oriented towards a horizontal status structure, but this was not conducive to the growth of the group. However, the previous assembly, which admitted that it could not be made into a vertical structure immediately, promised that the person who gathered all these rings would lead the assembly.”

“Does that mean that if you collect all ten rings, you will become the owner of the meeting?”

“that’s right. That’s what it says.”

I learned something I didn’t know about the meeting.

Then, could the faction have something to do with this ring?

It is difficult to protect the ring with one’s own strength.

However, if you form a faction, it will be easier to keep or steal the ring.

‘It was completely unexpected information, but it was helpful.’

It was not bad information because I was thinking of swallowing up the rally, and it seemed that a new method was presented.

But here a question arises.

‘The symbolic meaning is important, but it is not an exaggeration to say that a faction was formed because of this ring in practice. Did Hegel just give me that ring?’

What the hell does that mean?

What did you give me the ring for?

Don’t think you just gave it away.

The fact that he gave the ring to me was highly likely to be aimed at.

“Eika then you invited me to join the clique because of the ring.”

“that’s right. To be honest, I mean more to the ring than to Adrias Cromwell.”

It was fucking honest, so I didn’t even get angry.

“Can’t we just take it away?”

“I want your ring? I don’t want to fight Hegel yet.”

Seeing Eika talking with a hearty smile, it looked like she was looking at me funny, but I liked it.

I don’t know yet if it will become an enemy or an ally, but the more vigilant the opponent, the easier it will be to use it.

By the way, even though Hegel is neutral, does Aika not want to touch him?

I doubted he was that strong when I thought of the impression I had when I bumped into Hegel, but it seemed like he looked after me a lot.

“The word yet... ... .”

“I have a lot of greed. I intend to collect all the rings one day.”

It was natural.

If he wasn’t aiming for the ring in the first place, he wouldn’t have become the head of the faction.

Rather, my current situation was ambiguous.

Joining Eika’s faction is put on hold for now.

It was obvious that I would just hand over the ring and get no benefit back.

“What will happen to me if I don’t join the faction?”

“I’m sorry, but it doesn’t matter. But one thing you should know is that among those who have the ring right now, you are the most vulnerable. Everyone else will be targeting you anyway, so it wouldn’t be a bad idea to buy my favor before that, right?”

To be honest, saving the child was the best I could do, but I can’t guarantee that it will be possible.

‘I don’t know if I only aimed at the meeting, but now I know that the emperor is also aiming for sins.’

In the meantime, I thought the meeting was getting angry, so when the war between the empire and the barbarians broke out, I thought it was just a spark.

But now that I think about it, war was inevitable as long as the emperor was alive and Fury was the warchief’s child.

“That is amazing. So what did you decide to do?”

“We decided to hire mercenaries because our traces won’t be revealed. I know where it is and who it is anyway, so it’s easy to get my hands on the rage.”

Luna said with an excited face.

Looking at this, it was clear that the black magician was a black magician.

It’s just a miracle that a child is angry, but I didn’t worry about the child at all.

Does that mean I care?

‘I don’t really care either.’

Being a child is sympathetic enough.

But it’s funny how I sympathize with you.

I have killed quite a few innocent people in my previous life.

It’s all done for orders and missions, but that doesn’t make it an indulgence.

Maybe I was more suited to being a warlock than anyone else.

“When? If you bring the anger, the meeting will be held again, right?”

“huh. I decided to entrust everything to Hegel. Because Hegel prepared everything and found it. If Hagel brings his anger, we will call the meeting again.”

If so, that’s it.

Now that I am a warlock belonging to the coven, I will be able to intervene or influence it naturally when anger crosses over to this side.

Come to think of it, I was able to meddle in all episodes related to black magic that would happen later.

‘I might be able to control or eliminate the dark magic incidents involving the playables.’

Did you say to go into the tiger’s den to catch a tiger?

I’m not catching the tiger, I’m making it mine, but that’s it.

As my influence in the gathering grows and I form factions and powers, I will be able to handle nearly 30% of the episodes at will.

‘Thank you Hegel.’

It was all thanks to Hegel that he entered the meeting and accidentally obtained the ring.

To be honest, I still don’t know what’s on his mind, but right now it was only helping me.

“Ah, are you busy from now on?”

While I was lost in my thoughts for a while, Morne spoke to me.

I don’t know what happened, but I shook my head.

“no. It’s a weekend so it’s relaxing.”

“Then why don’t you go somewhere with the old man?”

After thinking about Morne’s offer for a while, he nodded.

“yes. Let’s go.”

I don’t know where he’s going, but I don’t think he’ll do anything to harm me.

Rather, I was looking forward to it again because I had only accepted it in the meantime.

“Heh, that’s good. It’s Luna. Do you want to cover it too?”

“huh. good!”

It’s safe to follow Luna.

“Then let’s go right now.”

“May I ask where you are going?”

“Dear child, have you ever heard of the ‘Magic Trawler’?”

“Trawler... ... . You mean the one who made the demonic sword?”

“Yes. He’s famous for making a demonic sword.”

and this is real... ... .

Trawler was the only blacksmith in the world of the game who produced the magic sword with the power of a human alone.

Bondi named-class weapons or equipment were not made by humans alone.

In other races, there are cases where they often make such excellent items alone, but it was all about the difference in lifespan.

With the technology of individual human beings who live only about 100 years at most, they could not create a named item.

“Let’s go see ‘Majang’ from now on.”

Morne took the lead with a flinch.

I didn’t know that Morne had been with Trawler.

Trawler had such a wanderlust, always wandering around, that even I had only run into it twice in game.

I said it all when I saw that I only happened to see it twice after playing games all day for two years in real time.

‘Magic Trawler.’

A new giyeon awaited.
