196. Sangseong
It’s fun.
No, is it really fun? Isn’t that annoying?
Lavinia Akan, the princess of the kingdom, was not enough, and even the hero who represented the kingdom, Roselle Charntra, disappeared.
‘Even the two of them are equally destined to go to Erzest.’
Cain, the 5th Prince of Akan, smiled bitterly.
Is there a mark on Erzest?
‘Is there a Fail there?’
no matter how it is He appeared at once, said he was leaving for Erzest in search of Fail, and disappeared again.
If you’re going to say something like that, you have to make a formal report to the Matoap or the King.
Fortunately, the nobles who witnessed the journey and heard the purpose were not alone. Of course, it was a social scene.
‘By the way, where are you really?’
He disappeared in Erzest. However, it was doubtful whether he would be in Erzest.
It was not found even by the Allied Forces, who searched the whole mountain to find the Tower of Chloride. Even if not all mountains were searched.
‘no way···.’
it’s not dead
Cain struggled to suppress the subtle anxiety. I masturbated saying that I can’t.
That’s natural. What kind of human is Lavinia Akan? Would you just die of dog death in the mountains?
‘Sister, please be safe.’
Then, won’t the younger brother, who is greatly respected by his older sister, become the king?
The reason why he, who is only 5 princes, can confidently put out his business card in the battle for the succession to the throne, is because he has a strong friendship with Lavinia, who is supported by Matop. Because she seldom refuses Cain’s request.
“Sir Krein.”
“Yes, my lord.”
“Send someone to Matthew and His Majesty to inform Prince Roselle’s progress.”
“I take orders.”
The article disappeared. Cain clapped and evoked the chaotic atmosphere.
“Something unexpected happened. Now that it has been resolved, we will continue the banquet again.”
The bands started playing again.
The struggle of the 5th Prince to create a friendly force to support him had just begun.

“escape?”
“It is said that he left for Erzest to find a person called Fail, rather than the escape.”
“The reason is?”
“His blood is the purpose. It is said that the blood of a person named Fail is as pure as a spirit, and many wizards covet it.”
“Why didn’t I know?”
“That’s the kind of magicians. They try to monopolize what they know without revealing the good things.”
“It’s not a wizard, it’s the human race.”
“Great.”
The elder swallowed a moan.
The guild leader shrugged his chin and fell into thought.
“Then, I think Roselle Chartres is impossible to participate in.”
“Looking at Roselle Charter’s behavior so far, I think it would be right to think that way.”
“Meet Hillen Cargill and head to Erzest. Am I mistaken to ask if Hillen deliberately excluded him from Roselle?”
“Haona, it is said that Roselle Chartres was the first to visit Hillen. And it’s true that Pale and Hillen Cargill are friends.”
“I find that strange.”
Fail.
“It is only one human. Is the mana of such a person pure as a spirit? Can such a person exist?”
“I think I may have ate a young herb or an elixir.”
“Were there only one or two people who ate spirits or elixirs? As I said, Hillen has a connection with the Demon King. Maybe this is…”
“Are you saying it could be the Demon King’s scheme?”
“okay.”
“But as I said…”
“Yeah, Roselle Chartres went to him first.”
It was too speculative to say that it was induced to do so. Roselle Chartres was locked in the tower after the failure of the Bravery, and Hillen Cargill was busy preparing for the new Bravery.
However, I couldn’t go to catch the guy named Fail right away, so there was no clear answer.
After thinking for a while, the guild leader made a decision.
“Leave it alone, and just in case you don’t know, put a few guys behind Roselle Chartres. In case of an emergency, we must live.”
“Yes.”
“How many stars have said that they will participate in the real bravery?”
“Six.”
Ballaf Thissrod, Roselle Chartres, Ralph Schmidt, Aina Diafrin, and Wharton Coloé Pablo Barkat.
Considering Jessica Horton who never left the kingdom, Hillen Cargill who was deliberately excluded, Hollen Calaif, who disappeared decades ago like the guild leader, and a place in Gillian Eint that was still vacant, it was safe to say that all the stars agreed to participate. .
It was natural.
The hero is the hope of humans, and the star is the pride of the warriors.
The stars were obsessed with the confidence that they could catch demons, demons, as well as demon lords.
When it was completely shattered, it took a toll on my self-esteem. His honor had fallen, and his skepticism about the Hero’s Guild and the stars was coming out little by little.
They were sharpening their swords in order to dispel this and restore their broken self-esteem.
“Anyway, Pablo Barkat is surprising.”
He must have been locked up in the Confederates on the outskirts of the country and was desperate to strengthen his own power, but he had expressed his intention to participate in the emissary he sent without much thought.
“The Confederacy is said to be fairly stable. Even now, I think I want to make my name known to the center.”
“Well, it would be nice if the power increased.”
The guild leader shrugged his shoulders indifferently.
“If Roselle Charter doesn’t come back on time, maybe five.”
“The wealth to borrow from the Dwarves will be filled with all the warriors. In addition, the naval forces of Akan, Hessen, and Dormut and their ships will be equipped with additional elites from the Empire and other countries.”
“You don’t know about Hillen Cargill?”
“Yeah, the same goes for Hilderan.”
“It’s fun.”
The guildmaster laughed.
this time it is
‘You won’t be able to escape.’
It doesn’t matter if you run away. I won’t miss it this time.
The old man lowered his body even more because of his harsh life.
* * *
size device geek-
A black charcoal black beetle, who used to be a ‘monster’, burned his last life with a grotesque scream.
“It’s no joke.”
Hwareuk-
When the lights are turned off, a blizzard blows away the heat. Roselle nervously stepped on the white eyes.
“What the hell are you stuck with in this damn place?”
All there is is snow, blizzards, and monsters. It turns out that there is no Demon Lord, so the value disappears even more.
If her senses were not wrong, Fail was a fire wizard. It would be better to immerse yourself in a volcano rather than such a polarized environment.
Ironically, her thoughts were correct. After absorbing the power of the Phoenix, Berge becomes stronger in the volcano.
Fortunately, there were no monsters than I thought.
As the large Allied Forces went up the whole mountain range, she thought, the population had declined significantly.
Either way, it was good for her. No matter how she is, there is no business in numbers.
“Let’s see.”
I said this
She spreads mana and expands the feeling.
To live in a place infested with monsters, hiding her presence must be basic, but she was confident to find her.
For a while, she killed the monsters, moved forward, and spread mana repeatedly.
And I felt a very subtle sense of alienation. It was the warmth felt even in the cold frost.
Roselle glided and flew. At the final destination, there was only white snow.
‘Isn’t this here?’
no, here it is A strange sense of heterogeneity and warmth in the cold touches her nerves.
Hwareuk-
sparked and threw the snow melted There were no other changes.
But she was sure. Seeing that he could not look around mana in his eyes, he threw flames once more.
─!
cracks in small spaces.
She pushed mana in between. Went in and ripped it off.
───!
A huge spark engulfed the surroundings. And there were no more blizzards there. A door was visible through the half-melted snow.
profit-
There was a staircase leading down to the open door.
I went down the stairs slowly. The door closed by itself, but it was not dark because the mana lights around it lit up.
‘I can feel the heat.’
I feel the warmth.
30m? 50m? I didn’t know exactly how far it went down. But when I thought I had gone down so many stairs, the floor was revealed.
There was a laboratory full of beakers and magic materials. And in the center of the laboratory, a boiling furnace and a familiar back touching something.
“Roselle Chartres.”
Without looking back, he recognized the identity of the customer.
Her soft voice was exactly what she remembered.
Roselle rejoiced silently.
found.
“Why did you come to me?”
“It’s not as surprising as I thought. Did you know I was coming?”
“I heard from Hillen.”
“Oh, it was.”
“Should I ask twice?”
“I’m here to give you money.”
“money?”
“okay. Do you like money?”
“Do you want my blood?”
“The Kingdom of Akan made a pact with you. If you pay a fair price, I think you deserve a claim to your blood.”
“That’s an interesting idea.”
Fail half-turned. His hair and eyes were still red. But something was different. Could it be that the black light was mixed?
“…what happened?”
However, the mana felt was rather pure. The heat was even hotter. No matter how she looked, she couldn’t stop her greed.
“there was. A lot of work.”
“It seems like a positive direction.”
“You can do that.”
Fail completely turned around.
“But doesn’t that make me a reason to give you blood?”
“What?”
“I promised a deal. But it’s literally a deal, and if I refuse, it’s over.”
“why?”
“Because you don’t have to.”
“···no. I need your blood.”
“You look desperate. Why?”
“…that can’t be said.”
“What if I give you my blood in return?”
“·················ogue.”
Roselle bit her lip.
“no.”
“Did you even make an oath of mana?”
An oath made by wizards by putting their own imprints on them. If it is violated, mana is lost and they value more than their lives.
“Even if not, trust is important.”
“I cannot give you my blood.”
“…and I can give you anything else in return.”
“Are you sure you have the other payoff I want?”
“I am Roselle Chartres. You can do anything if you put your mind to it.”
“Are you planning to take me down and take me by force?”
“···no.”
It wasn’t that I hadn’t thought of that. But the moment we started talking, that feeling disappeared.
It was the natural momentum that took over the space and put pressure on her.
strong. Fail is very strong.
An archmage who is confident that she will soon engrave eight engravings, she could not see the end of it.
‘how?’
As her doubts deepened, Fail’s smile grew stronger.
“Well, I can give you blood if you want.”
“really?”
“It will depend on what you can give me.”
“What do you want?”
“Well. What would be good?”
Fail scratched his chin as if thinking about it.
“Loyalty.”
“What?”
“I want your allegiance.”
“Are you crazy?”
Roselle chuckled.
“It’s up to here to match. Say the right thing.”
“No, I am serious. It won’t be bad for you either. Because I can give you an abundance of things you don’t want or dream of.”
“Don’t talk bullshit. Your blood, however valuable, is not enough to bind my freedom.”
Roselle quietly repeated the formula.
Instinct sounded the alarm in the deep ominousness.
“What if I give you my blood?”
“Only?”
“What about dragon blood?”
“…you have dragon blood? Don’t be silly!”
“You can see for yourself whether it’s nonsense or not.”
“what?”
“Balaf This Lord said he had killed a dragon, but he only carried a tail and one wing. Then where are the rest?”
“···that.”
In fact, it was the part that most people wondered about. But buried by the needs of those in power.
“…you have it?”
“I have been living here for quite some time.”
“Can’t you believe it?”
“It’s not just blood. What if you gave me scales, bones, muscles, tendons, and even eyes?”
gulp-
Roselle swallowed dry saliva. It wasn’t intentional, it was instinct.
‘No, don’t be fooled.’
It doesn’t make sense conceptually.
It’s a by-product of dragons. Where can I get it easily?
“Why take the heart out? If you promise a dragon, shouldn’t you give the most important heart first?”
“It’s not worth giving to you.”
“Is that part of a body that doesn’t even exist yet realistic?”
“The body is there. All the rest that Sippi Balaf Dislord couldn’t take.”
“···really?”
“okay.”
“Do you believe it?”
“What if you don’t believe it?”
Fail came one step closer. Roselle unknowingly took a step back.
“What the hell are you? The Fail I knew, right?”
“right. Oh, what if you could have the horns and tails of the Demon King there? Or is it the essence of magic.”
“What?”
This time it was more ridiculous than the dragon.
“Yeah, let’s say that we yielded a hundred times and got the dragon’s corpse.”
The fact that Balaf cut off the dragon’s tail and wings and that there was a battle is what the warriors claim in common.
If the dragon was injured and Failed to finish off the runaway, it would not have been understood.
It was hard to understand, but if you want to do something.
But the Demon King was a different story.
“How do you get the demon king’s by-products?”
“If possible? Like the wings and tail of a succubus queen, or the spirit of ice of a demon king in the cold.”
“You can get by-products from not just one, but two different demon kings? why? They say they give you the by-products of the Demon King of Chloride, the Demon King of Lies, and the Demon King of the Geum River?”
Roselle shrugged her shoulders as if she wanted to hear just one thing.
“It’s unreasonable to say that Geumgang is a lie, but I can give you scales of chloride if you want.”
“It’s very odd.”
great.
“If what you say is true, I will become your subordinate. If not, I have to keep drawing your blood as much as I want, whenever I want.”
“Can you swear as a hero?”
“However much. With the strength of a hero, if what you say is true, I will become your subordinate.”
“Don’t forget that promise.”
That moment-
“··········!”
Roselle got goosebumps at the deep smile on Fail’s lips.
“radish···!”
Hwareuk-
Little by little, the prepared magic appeared. The deterioration that melted everything was thrown out in a straight line.
Fail did not block.
But Roselle was astonished.
Because the flames didn’t hurt him even the tip of a hair.
“What is this?”
“If you think about it, it’s really unfortunate for you now.”
Fail laughed.
“Your power is strong enough to fight even a dragon for a short time, but your compatibility with me is the worst.”
He was originally a chlorinated demonic dragon that sharpens black flames.
He threw himself into the flames and ate the corpse of Phoenix, a reborn beast.
He ate the heart of a red dragon with the power of fire.
“Fire.”
never.
“You can’t touch me.”
“… uh.”
The wizard who lost the most powerful weapon panicked.
Qwajik-
A rough grip flew through the space.
Red flames resisted. But his hand touched her without hesitation.
And that’s it.
puck-
It was her last memory.
