Chapter 160

Episode 160. Taedong

“Good job, Sir Hegel.”

There was someone who arrogantly looked down on the entire continent.

A man with more power than anyone else in the world.

He was now welcoming Hegel on an artificial floating island floating in the sky above the imperial palace, in the garden outside the villa created exclusively for the emperor.

“As planned, we left traces. A response will come soon.”

“It was a free car, but it turned out well. After a long time, I will be able to taste the blood of savages.”

The emperor touched the sword tied to his waist and smiled.

There was a thick scent of blood in that smile.

Hegel silently watched the scene and waited for the emperor’s impression for a while before opening his mouth.

“Your Majesty, I have something to tell you.”

“Tell me.”

“I’ve been working with the warchief for a while, bringing in my wrath this time. And he confirmed that he is the Auror Master.”

“Oh, barbarian, but you mean master?”

“That’s right.”

The emperor with an intrigued expression suddenly stood up and drew his sword.

sereung.

A bewitching purple blade.

One of the sins, ‘arrogance’, was revealed.

Whiik!

Bubbeobuck!

The emperor just swung his sword at a nearby tree.

Then, purple sword energy poured down and destroyed not only the tree he was aiming for, but also the area.

“Aura Master... ... Aura Master! Ha ha ha ha ha!”

Seeing the madness of the emperor, Hegel just quietly lowered his head.

After indiscriminately cutting the surroundings for a while, the emperor soon put in his arrogance and sat down again.

“Sir Hegel.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

“How does it feel to be a superman? You’re also a Warlock, so I’d like to hear your opinion.”

“Feeling like a superman... ... Are you talking?”

“I can use this sword’s energy to create this kind of power, but you can’t casually use more power than this with your own ability.”

“I am not stronger than Your Majesty. Besides, Your Majesty is the supreme being who looks down on everyone. Even those who, like me, wear the humble title of Superman, are all in a position to be served by His Majesty. In the end, isn’t the one who can command superhumans the strongest?”

Despite Hegel’s words, the expressionless emperor’s face did not move.

The emperor nodded as if he had just heard the obvious, and soon quenched his neck with tea and shook his hand.

“Okay. After that, you don’t have to come in person, so just leave.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

As Hagel disappeared into the ground, the emperor muttered, tapping his sword as usual.

“A superman, a superman... ... .”

His eyes were filled with arrogance and a bewitching light.

After a while, Xavier Leonard, the leader of the Imperial Guard and one of the 10 Continental members, appeared with someone.

It was Hector Kazaf, the chancellor and right-hand man of the emperor.

“Meet Your Majesty.”

“Suddenly. What happened?”

“sorry. The news was so urgent that I ran to it myself.”

“Speak.”

“The North was caught in a commotion. The movements of the savages are unusual.”

“The signal is coming right away.”

At the Emperor’s words, Hector’s eyes widened.

“Ah, did you know?”

“It’s something Jim made up. Don’t worry. Better than that. Gather your troops now.”

“The troops... ... .”

Hector, who was speechless, made a flustered gesture, but soon felt the emperor’s cold gaze and swallowed.

“I take orders.”

“okay. Isn’t the time to go on an expedition to the north anyway? It’s just the right time.”

Hector struggled to manage his expression at his light tone, as if he were out for a walk.

The Northern Expedition is, in a word, war.

Although the scale was smaller than that of wars with other countries, it was an important national event.

As it was a war, each aristocratic family would borrow troops and collect the allocated taxes, which was the responsibility of the chancellor, Hector.

Extreme backlash was expected before the headache.

‘And now the international situation is not good. Even so, His Majesty cannot be stopped... ... .’

It was unknown how it would spread if such a military movement was shown while noise was coming out in various ways from neighboring countries.

‘I can’t believe His Majesty planned it.’

To be honest, the opposition or the international situation did not matter.

If it was the power of the emperor of the Laudelen Empire, all but the four dukes could bend it.

What was even more shocking was that he did not know this in advance.

‘He didn’t tell me in advance.’

It reminded me of Count Cromwell, who had been beaten up one day.

Of course, he was a duke and the emperor’s right-hand man, but he couldn’t stop Cromwell from rising.

‘His Majesty... ... What are you up to?’

It was an irreversible flow from that day ten years ago.

The wind of a new era was covering the continent like that.

* * *

The Apple Tree Mansion in Welton Manor was busier than ever.

Now, rather than just a simple mansion, the site of the mansion, which gives off an atmosphere like the head office of the guild, was visited by workers from other guilds to trade, and agents from other guilds were waiting in the parlor and chatting.

“Tell me if there is anything I can help with. It looks like I’ll be gone for a few days.”

“okay.”

Amy nodded and drank her tea.

When Maria stopped the car again and served it to Adrias, he tilted her head.

“Morheim tea? It couldn’t have been easily obtained.”

“ah! The duke of Morheim suddenly sent a letter and this car as a gift. But I have no connections to the duke’s family or the marquess’ family, right? Is it related to your brother?”

“Mohaime? It’s not unrelated.”

Amy and Maria felt a strange emotion when Adrias nodded calmly.

He is a duke, not another family.

It was also the only duchy of the four Laudelen Empires that held the title of ruler of the continent.

How many people in the world can say that they have a relationship with such a ducal family?

Adrias’ reaction was too plain compared to that.

“Is it really related to the Duke of Morheim?”

“uh. what are you so surprised With something you might know.”

Adrias looked at Amy, who was rather surprised, as if it were strange.

Then Amy looked at Maria next to her, wondering if she was weird, but their eyes met as if she was thinking the same thing.

“Sister Maria. Aren’t I weird?”

“Yes... ... . Wouldn’t it be an ordinary thing to be acquainted with the duchy?”

At the reaction of the two, Adrias shook his head.

“What is so great about it? You may have come face to face. If that’s the case, is it a great relationship with the Dukes of Alven or the Dukes of Cloche, who saved them from being demoted?”

“what?”

“You didn’t know what? Last year, at the nongong peddling, our family title was almost lost, but Alven and Cloche helped us to keep it. Didn’t I tell you?”

“I never said anything! Oppa, why are you talking about such an important thing... ... !”

Adrias scratched his temple as he looked at Amy, who seemed frustrated and couldn’t speak properly.

For him, things like titles were not very important, so he felt neglected.

As Amy blushed and hit her chest in frustration, Adrias quickly changed the topic.

“Oh, that Maria?”

“Yes sir.”

“I have something to say to you alone for a moment, would you mind stepping aside for a moment?”

“All right.”

As Maria exited, Amy finally exploded.

“brother!”

“My ears hurt.”

“Is that a problem now?”

“Rather than that, Amy, I have to go down to the basement right now, right?”

“underground? The place where your father hid it?”

Adrias nodded, and Amy sighed and nodded.

“okay. For now, the back story continues after going underground.”

“okay.”

“Because I’m going to pry everything out!”

“Yes, yes.”

Soon after, Adrias, who summoned the door to the basement through blood, opened the door and went down.

After he disappeared, the door slowly disappeared again.

“Haa, what are you really thinking about living?”

As I was thinking about Adrias, I heard a knock at the door.

“This is Maria, the boss.”

“What happen?”

“Urgent news. They say a guest is coming from the Duke of Morheim.”

“yes?”

Amy had a lot of surprises today.

* * *

There was no need to come all the way home.

Still, it had to be a place where I felt comfortable as I had my family, Amy, and Salem.

‘It’s still fine here.’

I went downstairs and looked around.

Time had passed, so I wondered if the fairy flower had withered a little, but the mana in the air was still overflowing.

As I descended the stairs, I saw the spectacle of fairy pollen glowing and swimming once again, and when I finally reached the floor, I immediately summoned Nickel.

right! right!

“I’ll check it now.”

Nickel lifted the box in his hand over his head and clashed his teeth.

Even after escaping Monet’s maze, I couldn’t check the box left by the Chaos Mimic because I was unconscious for a while.

However, if I took the time to look at it, I couldn’t even take it out because it would be difficult because of the unique wave if it contained a named-level item.

‘This is the perfect place to check the box.’

It was not a bad choice because I was planning on coming home anyway.

“Give me Let’s see what’s there.”

Chaos Mimic was a little strange.

I haven’t caught that many in the game, but I’ve never had an item duplicated.

I think it was a format where only a few randomly came out of the contents inside.

‘It’s a pity that I can’t have everything.’

I thought the amount was small for what I had collected since ancient times, but it seemed that there was no reason other than that.

“Is it a ‘lucky game’?”

Better than nothing.

It’s something I wasn’t expecting in the first place.

As Nickel watched, I put my arm inside the box.
