A secret branch of Ouroboros that was once destroyed by Zion.
bum bum, bum bum.
A woman was walking into a building that had been left untouched since then and was almost in ruins.
A woman’s eyes that are sinking deep.
“ What happened?”
Soon after, a questionable voice came out of the woman’s mouth as she looked around the building.
Because I couldn’t understand the situation now.
Obviously, from the woman’s memory, the Ouroboros secret branch was intact during this time.
No, it was not revealed to the world.
In the first place, it was before Ouroboros even started their full-fledged activities.
But why is there no people and the building is half-collapsed?
“ Then the relic… … .”
The new model of the woman who muttered like that disappeared from the spot and appeared in the branch manager’s office on the top floor of the branch.
Again, in a room that was badly smashed.
Naturally, the relic of the Frost Queen, which the woman was trying to obtain, was also missing.
“… … .”
A woman stands still for a moment and looks at the broken glass box containing the original artifact.
Soon after, a cold voice came out of that woman’s mouth.
“ The future is changing.”
It wasn’t just this.
The Ruin city, which should have been destroyed in its original form, was maintained intact, the phantom army had disappeared, and the emperor, who should not have died yet, was now having a funeral.
Where did it come from and how did it get twisted?
And there was one thing that bothered her the most.
No, it was exactly one person.
‘The imprisoned Prince Zion Agnes.’
Originally, he was a person who should have died after getting caught up in a dark battle.
However, this time, it was not enough to be alive and well, and it had become the core of the storm in the present Hwangseong.
He is involved in most of the recent events and even killed the third prince, Enoch.
I had no idea how it had changed so much.
“ Clearly there are variables that I am not aware of.”
It was when the woman shook her head and muttered like that.
“ Do you think it has already been robbed? Will you be here more?”
Another voice came from behind the woman.
“ No, let’s go.”
A woman who turns her head toward the owner of the voice and speaks.
In that woman’s eyes, there was a reflection of Lane Dranir walking towards this side with a long spear draped over her shoulder.

“ Certainly, as Liam-nim said, Your Majesty is something different.”
The library of Chimseonggung.
There, the man sitting next to Liam Reiner spoke in a harsh voice to Shion in front of him.
The name of the man with a large scar on his face from his left eye to his lips is impressive is Girard Butner.
He was the current commander of the border corps.
“ I was honestly surprised. You care so much.”
In fact, Girard’s eyes were as young as his words of astonishment.
Because all the conditions that Zion suggested were exactly what the Vigilante Corps needed so much.
As if looking into his heart.
“ I have to do this to keep the front line with the Magician.”
Zion responded as if it was natural.
Zion knew.
To them, the things that ordinary people crave, such as power, wealth, and fame, are completely useless.
They only have one interest.
It was just killing monsters.
So, Sion was in a state of proposing the conditions by focusing on it thoroughly.
‘ Still, if it wasn’t for Liam Reiner, it would have been impossible to attract him.’
When Zion thought so and looked towards Liam,
“ But, my lord, are you really okay? Sending the corps we will receive this time to the border with the Demon Magic.”
From Liam’s mouth, a voice filled with wonder came out.
As he said, Shion had said that he would move a part of the corps of the Jeongroo Army, which he would receive from Utekan this time, to the border with the Devil.
Because of that, Girard also said that he was surprised.
“ Yes.”
Shion nodded.
Of course, if it was a corps belonging to the Jeongroo Army, it could be said that it was a great power as an elite among the elite, but it was not a power that could be used right away anyway.
Unlike the Knights and Wizards, as well as the original roles were fixed, bringing in a corps of at least tens of thousands of troops into the capital had to go through a very difficult procedure.
In addition, it was questionable whether the corps would properly listen to the changed commander-in-chief.
Nevertheless, there was a reason why Shion dared to ask Utekan for Jeongroo-kun.
‘ An incident that takes place at the border with the Magician within this year.’
It required at least a corps-level force to solve the case, the major branch of the Plosimar Chronicle.

More in addition to the troops that are now on the lookout.
In addition, it weakened Utekan’s power, so for Shion, it was as good as catching both rabbits.
“ More than that, when are you going to go back to the village?”
“ There is a guy I’m teaching these days, so I think we’re going to start right away this evening. Of course, if His Majesty Zion wishes, I will remain.”
It was when Liam answered Shion’s question that he remembered Ferna waiting for him in the village.
– Tit!
A blue feathered bird the size of a fist appeared from Shion’s right shoulder.
It was the original spirit of the Frost Queen relic.
Once upon a time, a spirit would appear like this regardless of Zion’s will, and after a few minutes of twittering, it would disappear.
It seemed to get stronger by absorbing the surrounding spirit little by little each time, so Zion was also left alone.
“ That… … Are you a spirit?”
At that moment, Liam and Girard’s expressions hardened when they discovered the spirit.
A very serious looking face.
In particular, Girard’s wide-eyed eyes could not even be separated from the spirit.
“ Right.”
Zion answered the reaction with questionable eyes.
“ Only once… … Can I stroke you just once?”
Girard asked Shion with a more serious expression.
His body was already half tilted toward the spirit.
“… … Do whatever you feel like.”
“ Thank you!”
Liam and Girard reached out to reach out to the spirit as soon as permission was given from Shion’s mouth.
– Tweet!
Embarrassed by the sight, the spirit spread its wings wide and threatened it, but it was not enough.
‘ You both must have liked cute things. It doesn’t suit me very well.’
Sion looked out the window and looked out the window, looking at the spirit being stroked while chirping between the two muscular men with scars.
‘ By the way, the time has come.’
With him, it was time for Shion to think of something in his head.
“ Sir Zion.”
Fredo, the old knight, entered the study and bowed his head toward Shion.
“A messenger from the 4th Prince’s side has arrived.”
“ Are you finally here?”
At Fredo’s words, Shion’s eyes lit up.
* * *
It was to be expected that Utekan would come into contact sooner or later.
Because there were stories to tell, including the transfer of Roo-Gun Jeong.
We expected to meet at the Baekseong Palace.
Because it was a kind of neutral zone, where we could prevent each other from playing tricks.
Boo Woong!
So, I was on my way to the People’s Palace by riding the horsepower car.
However, there was one situation that Zion did not expect.
“ This unshakable comfort is incomparable to the magic difference of the Order. What a grace of light!”
It was the 1st Prince Rubrios, who was admiring as he stroked the seat of the horsepower car right in front of his eyes.
The reason he was here was simple.
On the way to the People’s Palace, I ran into him by chance,
‘ Burn it. After all, I’m on the way to the people’s palace, so wouldn’t it be better to ride together?’
With the shameless remark, Rubrios was in the state of getting Zion’s car.
She had something to ask him anyway, so Zion did not hesitate to refuse.
‘ I didn’t expect to see you again like this.’
Shion thought so and looked at Rubrios.
“ To get rid of my own horse-drawn carriage after being away for a few years… … Aren’t the Hwangseong officials really overbearing?”
The unmanned attitude of not thinking of the other person was the same as when I first saw him, but unexpectedly, the first prince talked a lot.
It was to the extent that even if Shion himself didn’t say anything, there was no sound at all.
And with him, the strange kindness felt from Rubrios.
In fact, Zion already knew about this favor.
‘ Is it from the first time I saw you?’
To be precise, Rubrios had a favor from the moment he approached and spoke to Zion himself at the emperor’s funeral.
At that time, I didn’t notice it due to the content of the shocking words, but when I think about it again after a while, the emotions contained in those words were obviously good.
‘ Otherwise, he wouldn’t have said that he should return to the god of light he worships.’
The reason was unknown.
So Zion was going to ask him about it now.
“ Haha, if you think about it, going to the people’s palace in a car like this with you… … .”
“ What is the reason?”
The low question that flowed from Zion’s mouth interrupted Rubrios’ words.
“ If the reason is… … What reason were you asking?”
“ Why did you come to me and say that to me at the funeral, not the other members of the royal family?”
“ That’s because I wanted to save you.”
The first prince answered with a benevolent smile.
When Zion’s eyes were dyed with doubts at those unknown words,
“ Zion, do you know why I want to ascend to the throne again?”
1 The prince’s words continued.
“ No.”
“ It is to spread the light throughout the world. Of course, the Church of Light is still the most widespread in the world, but not to that extent. Because in the beginning there is only one god in this world, light.”
Such Lubrius’ eyes had suddenly changed, just like the day Zion first saw him.
“ It is absolutely unacceptable to serve other idols.”
eyes of fanaticism.
“ Therefore, I will become the emperor who is called the master of the world, and I will dedicate the whole world to the light.”
Simply put, he will rise to the throne and make the whole world a religion of only the Church of Light.
After all, it was the reason Lubrios was called a fanatic prince.
“ But once you get to the throne, you must first get rid of other competitors before that.”
The fact that the competitor was from other royal families was a fact that did not even have to be asked.
“ Shion, I didn’t want to kill you. That’s why I tried to bring it under me and return to the light.”
So in the end, Rubrios himself had to kill the rest of the imperial family to ascend to the throne or put him in a position suitable for that, so he didn’t want to do that, so he wanted to bring him under him.
The most expansive words that reveal his inclination as it is.
It was evident that there was no thought in Rubrios’ mind that he would die or that he would not ascend to the throne.
“ Then what if I keep fighting you?”
“ Well. I hope it doesn’t, but if it does… … I don’t know yet.”
Rubrios said with a slightly troubled expression on him.
Perhaps even in his head there is a clash between the first doctrine that the light should be spread throughout the world and the favor of the oracle.
Originally, fanaticism was a law with many contradictions.
So, he could have done enough to refute, but instead, Shion asked what he was more curious about.
“ Then what was the oracle you were talking about?”
The source of favor that Rubrios had toward Zion himself.
“ Um… … .”
The first prince, who frowned as if thinking about it for a moment, spoke slowly.
“ As a rule, you shouldn’t talk about trusts, but… … If it were you, it would be fine if you could tell me a part. Zion, do you know about the existence of a hero?”
“… … roughly.”
“ A hero appears to oppose the Demon King, the king of demons. It had already appeared once hundreds of years ago, and then the Light sent an oracle to foretell the arrival of the hero.”
“ Then, did the oracle for the hero come down again this time?”
At Shion’s words, Rubrios nodded with a surprised face.
“You speak as if you already know. Yes. Came down about a month ago. But there was something peculiar about the oracle.”
The contents of the trust itself were not unusual.
Just like before, he announced the existence of the hero and suggested what to do in the future.
What was unusual was the number of oracles.
“ There is only one oracle for warriors. It’s like a law that can never be changed. In the first place, there could be only one hero that the world could create using its deterrent power. However… … The oracle for this hero came down twice in a row.”
Lubrios’ eyes looking at Zion begin to emit a strange light.
“ The second is you, Zion.”
