I was expecting
But I wasn’t sure.
This is because in the past, I did not have the opportunity to enter the imperial palace until I ascended the throne.
How could Deus, who did not easily allow even the princes to enter, let the crazy prince into the imperial palace?
The contents inside are known only to the Emperor.
The fruit of a thousand-year empire.
Among the treasures, only those with overwhelming value can enter the imperial palace.
‘In the past, everything was sold for war, but…’
Funding for the war was running low thanks to Prince Persephone’s collection of debts. He had no choice but to sell the treasures of the imperial palace to raise funds for the war.
However, when I took over the imperial palace, there were no visible treasures. There were empty places, as if only important treasures had been picked and taken out.
Deus had tried his hand beforehand.
To protect it from me or Archduke Carlos.
I expected it, but when I saw it in front of me, I was stunned.
‘The Three Gods, the bow of winter.’
A white bow, as if it were snowing, hangs proudly.
Weapons called trinity. One of them, Bow of Winter, is in the imperial palace.
Samshingi is a word that refers to three weapons made with technology that modern humans cannot create. A national treasure level treasure that cannot even be imitated because it is sophisticated and powerful enough to be incomparable to spirit weapons.
One of them, the winter bow, is the last bow among the ‘bows of the four seasons’, and only the winter bow is recognized as one of the three gods.
“her.”
I was full of spirits.
One of the three gods was in the Sacred Church, and the whereabouts of the other two were unknown.
I never thought that one of them would be in the imperial palace of the empire.
If I didn’t know, it means that Deus hid it.
It is horrifying to imagine that the Three Gods would flow to Archduke Carlos.
Samshingi is also symbolic, but it is also famous for endowing humans with transcendental power when used. Above all, the most influential theory was that this was also made by a ‘dwarf’, one of the missing mysteries.
A novelty created by a mystery. Even if you search the entire continent, there will be no better bow than this one.
‘It’s beautiful.’
It is a huge longbow. 1.5m is the length that seems to be. The pure white naked body looks as if it is not of this world.
But there is no bowstring.
‘According to the record, a bow in winter does not need a bowstring.’
The records of the Three Gods were quite detailed.
The bow of winter allows you to shoot mana at a long distance instead of having a bowstring, and it is difficult to learn and handle, but its destructive power is said to be excellent enough to pierce the sky and break mountains.
mana. So, the nanomachines in the body rapidly lose energy when they go outside. No matter how far it went, it was only a few hundred meters or so, and the same was true of the Archmage.
Even if magic is used, its effective range is only up to the point where the nanomachine loses energy. So, one of the ways to check the magician’s skill was to look at the ‘effective distance of magic’.
In any case, the winter bow multiplies its effective distance.
‘Did you say you hit an enemy 30 km away?’
think of the record.
To be honest, it’s a nonsense.
There must have been an exaggeration.
‘The range of the arrows shot by the Magungsa is at most 300m. Even the limited express magic archer is about 1km away.’
Accelerate with mana to hit enemies outside the area.
It was a skill that only a magician could do.
That being said, it doesn’t differ much from the realm of the archmage.
Even if it could shoot 30 km, it was a different level of difficulty to hit accurately. However, the bow of winter was called the Three Gods because it made even that possible.
‘light.’
I grabbed the hanging bow of winter.
Despite its huge size, it is light.
It’s an incredibly light material. It really felt like holding a feather.
said Zero.
[This is a sniper weapon with overtechnology.]
[It includes a device that maximizes the use of nanomachines with nanotube technology.]
[This object has been successfully reduced in weight by using superalloy.]
[Unknown producer. The unique code ‘Dwarf’ is engraved on it.]
Over technology?
It meant that a transcendent technology that far exceeded the average technology of this era and could not be matched was gathered in this one bow.
Unique code dwarf.
If so, did the disappeared Dwarves have technology far ahead of their time?
Why did it disappear even with such technology?
Perhaps they too were exterminated because they were chosen for their ‘great feat’.
The exact reason is unknown, but the best works they made still remain.
The bow of winter was one of them.
‘Dwarves know the existence of nanomachines.’
A nanotube device that maximizes the utilization of nanomachines was inserted into the weapon. That is to say, he knew how to realize and utilize the nanomachines themselves.
Rather than using ‘mana’ in a general way like today’s wizards, they focused on the nanomachines themselves and developed highly advanced technology.
“Zero. Is Dr. Park Moon-shik a dwarf?”
Zero was said to have been created by Dr. Park Moon-sik of the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology.
However, the country of Korea and the name Park Moon-shik were unfamiliar to me.
For a tribe dealing with overtechnology, Korea is the name of a country of dwarves, and Park Moon-sik could be a dwarf.
[Insufficient data on the dwarf race. However, Dr. Park Moon-shik’s species is human and his biological name is ‘Homo sapiens sapiens’.]
“Homo sapiens sapiens?”
[Literally translated, it means a wise and wise person, Master. There are some differences from modern humans.]
“What difference does it make?”
[As a result of utilizing the ‘scanning’ function created by the upgrade of the administrator’s authority, modern humans have evolved biologically so that they can store and utilize nanomachines. The estimated time required for evolution by natural selection to show such an evolutionary process is at least 150,000 years.]
“… are you saying that Dr. Park Moon-shik is a human from 150,000 years ago?”
[Contrast is not possible with existing data alone. However, as a result of analyzing the dna of modern humans, it is only assumed that that amount of time has passed.]
So, Zero was created 150,000 years ago.
It was also 150,000 years at the minimum.
A thousand years had passed since the establishment of the empire, but 150 was a phenomenal number that had to be repeated.
But I couldn’t understand.
“If you were created 150,000 years ago, what data? I’m sure I wasn’t the first to wake up?”
[Previous memory data stored in the memory device does not exist. The first record stored is approximately 16 years ago, and the location is the master’s brain.]
“Is there a possibility that the memory device is broken or partially lost?”
[Impossible. If it is lost or deleted, the backup data related to it will inevitably remain.]
He gently stroked his chin.
Zero was convinced that his memory could not have gone wrong.
But 150,000 years.
Coincidence coincided with coincidence, and I couldn’t understand common sense that I woke up after 150,000 years in my head.
However, it was impossible to argue with this, so I focused on the winter bow first.
I’ve hardly ever handled a bow, but it’s a trinity.
I couldn’t take more than I saw.
“This?”
I was distracted by the bow of winter, so I didn’t see the one next to it.
This area was created exclusively for the storage of winter bows.
I thought there was only a winter bow, but when I took a closer look, there was another object on display next to it.
A round, black box.
It was also a very small ring box.
When I opened the ring box, there was actually a transparent ring placed there.
I tried putting it on, but there was no response.
“Hmm.”
It would be a tremendous thing to put together like a bow in winter, but isn’t this overtechnology?
As if representing my feelings, Zero spoke.
[It is locked.]
[The lock has been released.]
[This is a ring of subspace with overtechnology applied.]
[It has the function of storing and taking out things in a special space.]
[Unknown producer. The unique code ‘Dwarf’ is engraved on it.]
lock is on
If you don’t release it, you won’t know the contents.
But Zero released the lock at once.
I found out about the name and the use of the ring, but it’s a subspace.
Swoop.
When I dosed the ring with nanomachines, a black space appeared behind me.
‘Is that black space a sub-space?’
I put my hand in.
When I pulled it out again, nothing happened.
I grabbed some treasure from the imperial palace and put it in the subspace.
I tried again, but couldn’t catch it.
‘Does it disappear completely when I enter it?’
However, it was said that there was a function to take it out clearly.
That there is another way to get it out.
This time, I put my hand in with a clear purpose. As he stirred, recalling the items he had previously put in, he caught something in his hand.
“I guess you have to remember what’s inside to get it out.”
It means that if you put something in the subspace and forget it, you can’t get it out forever.
Maybe there were many things in it that I didn’t recognize.
But I can’t get it out because I don’t know.
“Zero. Can you tell what the objects in this dimension are?”
[This is a completely separate space. It is impossible unless it is technically dismantled.]
The function of technical deconstruction was something that Zero did not have.
If you can’t even figure out zero, there’s nothing you can do.
I shrugged and smiled.
‘I got something great.’
Anyway, I got the winter bow and subspace.
There were no treasures beyond these two items in the imperial palace.
At least a few elemental weapons caught my eye, but they weren’t as strong as Caliburn.
‘Still, I’ve come this far, but it’s a pity to only take two of these.’
After all, the treasure here is no different from mine.
I have to sweep away as much as the treasure of numbers to remember by putting it in the subspace.
With the idea of spending a little before becoming emperor.
*
After that, he left the palace and continued some experiments.
First of all, life cannot live inside subspace.
I put a bug in it and it came out dead. It was alive for about 3 minutes, but after that, it was dead without a doubt.
There is no air inside the subspace.
Still, it is possible to survive, albeit for a short time.
So I ventured into the sub-space, but there was only darkness.
There was nothing inside. Repeatedly, only the things I thought of appeared and disappeared.
Also, there seemed to be no limit on weight or volume, as long as I could recall how much content was put into it.
‘I was vague about where to hide the bone dragon, but it worked out.’
The Bone Dragon was in the Lokari Mountains. If called, it would fly, but there was a restriction that it could not be used immediately when needed.
Since the bone dragon is not a living being, there would be no harm in putting it in the subspace.
“… that’s absurd.”
When I turned my head, a wizard with long hair caught my eye.
“What is the purpose of hiding me here? Crown Prince Reinhardt.”
This was my palace.
Unbeknownst to anyone, the wizard was moved from the special prison cell and imprisoned for a while.
“There is something I want to ask you.”
“You mean with the intention of using and killing me like a phantom thief?”
The thief who drew the map of the imperial palace.
To that thief, I promised freedom.
After curing his body to some extent with the potion, he immediately left the capital and disappeared.
“What are you talking about? He was treated well and escaped.”
“No way. He must have ordered them to be killed when they left the capital. If not, why can’t you see the knight who was always next to you now?”
I’m talking about the knight, Arell.
“You are quick-witted.”
I admitted lightly.
Arel was chasing the phantom thief.
This is because he ordered the thief to be killed as soon as he left the capital.
This was also to see Arell’s reaction.
Whether she was loyal to Prince Persephone or only to me.
If it were the former, I would inform Archduke Persephone of these facts.
A serious matter of trying to hide the royal palace wizard and rob the treasure of the secret palace.
If you are loyal to the Archduke of Persephone, this is information you must know.
However, if it was the latter, he would only kill the thief and return.
To this end, he hired the mercenary king Karbal.
I want you to keep an eye on Arell from as far away as possible so you don’t get caught.
Where do you go and who do you meet?
‘Croft doesn’t have the knack for hiding.’
Carbal is perfect.
The price is high, but the results are sure.
I opened my mouth while looking into Yujin’s eyes.
“The magician of nothingness, Eugene.”
“…!”
Eugene’s eyes widened infinitely.
He has thoroughly concealed that he is a ‘magician of futility’.
Even though he can use the magic of the chant, he dared to chant it and pretended to be an archmage.
there are no scammers
But it’s too early to be surprised.
“The crime of coveting the wealth of the imperial family while holding the honorable position of an imperial palace wizard. As a result, you will be sentenced to 120 years in the Special Convict Ward. Is that right?”
“······ hit.”
“But this is a lie. You were imprisoned on purpose. I’m afraid that the fact that I have the attribute of nothingness will be known. For fear of being hunted by someone.”
“What is that…”
“dragon.”
“·······!!!”
Hearing the name dragon, Eugene’s entire body convulsed.
I knew it.
I can understand why he laughed at me in the past.
Like himself, I also had the attribute of nothingness, so he laughed at me, assuming that I would be hunted by a dragon.
I knelt down, grabbed his hair, and brought his face closer.
He had a lot to find out.
It’s not just dragon-related information.
I recognized right away that I had the attribute of nothingness, that is, zero. I also learned what I could only know after returning, just by looking at it.
Eugene can recognize Epic. You may even know how to go further than that.
so.
“If you want to live, you will have to blow everything. Eugene.”
