Even Derek passed away, and Ebisu, left alone, looked around.
She is at the scene where all 10 of her favorite confidants have turned into corpses. It was a scene that clearly showed that his plan had been shattered.
And the person who created that scene was a man standing in front of him.
Ebisu asked the man who could take his life at any time.
“Is it such a big sin that I tried to become a lord? Do you really mean that I have to live my whole life according to the way I was born?”
Her voice, wet from crying, trembled pitifully. His hands and body, shaking as if they would collapse at any moment, clearly reflected his mind.
The despair of someone who lost everything in an instant. Faced with that, Siwoo sighed slightly.
Siwoo didn’t think he had done anything wrong. Because he had read at least a little bit of the original work. Because we saw what would happen when Ebisu sat in the lord’s seat.
But at this moment, I couldn’t help but feel an unpleasant aftertaste.
“It’s not a sin.”
Siwoo answered without hesitation. There was no high or low in that tone.
Ebisu felt absolute confidence in that calm tone. Ebisu’s eyes were fixed on Siwoo at those words, which seemed to be telling the very clear truth.
And Siwoo added the last word.
“It’s just that you dreamed of a different world.”
Ebisu, who immediately understood what Siu meant, tilted his head back and lost consciousness. The smile on the hideout’s face was stained with self-reproach and frustration.
Ebisu was by no means an incompetent man. He probably could have been a good monarch or leader if he had been born in another world.
But this was a world where everything was decided by marriage.
Just like a basketball player plays a soccer game. Like a wizard fighting a sword fight.
It was a fight that was impossible from the beginning.
Perhaps Ebisu in the original also realized this after sitting on the lord’s throne.
I realized that the Caucasian soul, which I thought was just a baron, was much more serious than I thought. His clothes, life, and banquets, which he thought were extravagant, were all work and investments to maintain and strengthen his marriage. The pressure from surrounding territories is faster and more threatening than expected.
What is the ‘ability’ required from a lord in this world?
It is not about rational and efficient governance, but the ability to manage and expand the soul.
It was unknown whether Ebisu would have readily acknowledged this fact in the original work. Because that was something that wasn’t described in the novel.
What Siu knows is that, some time after the rebellion, Messalina came to Adriana and asked for help while hiding the true identity behind it.
And Adriana decided that her request was right, and all she did was turn the Baron of Caucasus back into a lord after annihilating her thugs.
hahahaha. Yes, it was really just me who dreamed of a different world.”
Ebisu looked up at the ceiling.
The thoughts I had when I first built this hideout came back to me. And now all plans have collapsed. Ebisu was able to look at those thoughts more objectively.
There were many loopholes in his plan. Of course, he knew that all along. These threeThere are so many variables in the world, how can you make a perfect plan?
However, Ebisu only viewed the gap too optimistically.
Even though it is a plan that can collapse due to an accident or the intervention of others.
“In the end, I also… “He was just an idealist.”
Ebisu smiled reassuringly. There were scars left by grief on that face, but the scars did not continue to increase.
Since then, Ebisu has been restored several more times. He edited it a few times and asked Siwoo for advice a few times. At the end of completing his plan from start to finish.
He completely let go of his regrets.
“Now kill me. “I have no reason to live anymore.”
Ebisu sat up straight in the chair and slowly closed his eyes.
The pain of death pictured in the dark had an intensity proportional to the ups and downs of the life he had lived.
Ebisu waited in silence, imagining such pain. But even after a while, the pain did not come.
When he opened his eyes in puzzlement, there was Si-woo in front of him, fiddling with the hilt of his sword for a while.
“Under… This is it. The human heart is so weak…”
Siwoo quietly mocked himself. He didn’t know if it was his own feelings or the ten people he had just killed.
He glanced out of the corner of his eye and then back at Ebisu.
Siwoo’s focus was distant, like that of a dreamer.
“Ebisu.”
Siwoo thought for a while longer after calling Ebisu.
Is it right to tell this story? Was it just an impulsive decision driven by emotion?
However, Siwoo eventually threw the story out of his throat.
“I am… No, ‘we’ always wanted to go home.”
As Siwoo said that, a nostalgic scene still appeared in his eyes.
A peaceful place. Clean place. Beautiful place. A place of abundance.
A place where you can let go of all the worries, doubts, and boundaries you have in this world.
“Well, some people don’t want to go home. There are people who have made connections in their respective worlds, and there are also many who have made up their minds. “Because ‘we’ don’t always have the same meaning.”
And then, the moment Siwoo smiles slightly.
Si-Woo stood there in confusion, looking like a traveler from a far away world.
The word ‘we’ had such a distant resonance.
“But everyone is trying. There are many people who are curious about their own world… There are many people who desperately need help from others. That’s why I’m working hard on dimensional travel.”
In fact, it is embarrassing to even call it research.
Because it’s still just a fantasy.
Ma Top Siu said that the minimum requirement to enter the study would be 8 circles.
It was a faraway state that Siwoo couldn’t even realize yet.
“It might not be easy. It may not come out until the story of this world ends, or it may not come out even then. Even if it does come out, it’s unclear whether other people will be able to use it. In fact, I haven’t even found a clue right now.”
Ebisu, who listened quietly, did not even understand half of what Siu said.
But oneI knew that much for sure.
That Siwoo is trying to give him a chance.
“But just in case ‘we’ succeed someday. If all stories end successfully. I can take you with me then. “Not a world like this, but a world where you can freely express your will.”
What Siwoo said was like a dream to Ebisu.
A word that is more magical than magic, more religious than religion.
However, Ebisu could not ignore those words.
“So live. Refine your plans, forge your ambitions, and live a normal life. Then one day, when we succeed, I will come get you. “How is it?”
What Siwoo threw was even more flawed than Ebisu’s plan, and was a hopeless hope.
Ebisu could not refuse the offer.
“Okay. Let’s do that…”
After accepting his offer, Ebisu relaxed and leaned back in his chair. As if his business was over, Siwoo turned around and headed towards the passage he came from.
Ebisu looked at it and asked.
“What will you do now?”
“Well, what should I do…” …”
Siwoo thought for a moment and answered lightly.
“First of all, I have to leave the Caucasus with Adriana. “After that, I will go wherever my feet take me.”
“… “Do we really need to do that?”
Ebisu looked at Siwoo’s back with a questioning expression.
Siwoo’s force was quite strong. Of course, he may not yet be a proper wizard or priest, but he has come close to gaining power in a small fiefdom.
Why does a person who can make a living just by settling down in one place continue to go through the trouble of wandering around?
Siwoo answered the question with that implication in one sentence.
“I also want to be the main character.”
“… ?”
Siwoo, who left unintelligible words to the end, summoned a gnome and headed to the ground.
Ebisu looked at the back in confusion and thought about his plan again.
I wasn’t in a hurry to start.
There was still too long until Siwoo came back.
Ambition burned again in his heart.
A warm ambition that will last for a long time.

-Jeoktap Siwoo: I got stuck while learning magic.
-Jeoktap Siu: This place is closer to the Akashiu direction than Matapsiu, right? However, we do not use circles, but we create magic by piercing magic circuits in the body.
-Jeoktap Siu: Whenever I chant class 2 magic, it keeps getting blocked at the end.
-Akashiu: Class 2 is equivalent to Circle 2, right?
-Jeoktap Siu: Uh. It’s just at that level. Right now I can’t even use Ignite properly, so it’s blocked hahahaha.
-Akashiu: Then how do you build up the magic power structure?
From Noble mtl dot com
-Jeoktap Siu: Wait a minute. I’ll roughly draw it and show you.
-Jeoktap Siwoo: (photo)
-Akashiu: Hmm… I know what it feels like
-Akashiu: I don’t think I can give you any advice on this.
-Akashiu: It’s the same science field, but it seems like a different lineage. Feels like the difference between physics and chemistry?
-Jeoktap Siwoo: I roughly understand what you mean.
-Jeoktap Siu: Then there is no specific answer?
-Akashiu: ㅇㅇ Is it because the basic structure is different because it is magically molded with a magic circuit? If you apply this formula, the energy value comes out as an imaginary number.
-Akashiu: Isn’t this a shame that shouldn’t come out of Ignite? There is no answer to this magic system.
-Jeoktap Siu: Huh… So what should I do with this?
-Seonhyeop Siwoo: Shall I help you?
-Jeoktap Siu: … ? You are a martial artist
-Seonhyeop Siwoo: Looking at the magic circuit, it looks like a blood sword, so there might be something that can help.
-Seon Hyeop Si-woo: The route is completely different from the blood sword, but I have learned all the martial arts posted in the chat room and have used all the blood swords, so I am the expert in this area, so there may be some areas where I can help.
-Jeoktap Siwoo: ㅇㅋㅇㅋ Then, please teach me first.
– Seonhyeop Siwoo: So, in order to operate a blood vessel, it is important to control it in detail, but it is also important to establish a broad framework, right?
-Jeoktap Siwoo: Big picture?
– Seonhyeop Siwoo: Even if this is a blood path, it does not use the path that actually exists within the body, so the inner energy can easily escape from the blood path. So, the frame must be held firmly. So, if you learn deep drills, at some point you won’t be able to use other deep drills.
– Seonhyeop Siwoo: This is an effect that strengthens physical ability anyway, so it is not a big problem if it deviates, but if the magic deviates, it affects the magic structure as it deviates.
-Jeoktap Siwoo: Oh
-Jeoktap Siwoo: That’s right, I think it won’t work because of that.
– Seonhyeop Siwoo: Please refer to that part and plan it carefully. If you try to pierce the Imdogyang vein when your blood level is low, the deviation from your inner energy will only worsen. Since the magic circuit seems to be similar, try to minimize the technique.
-Jeoktap Siwoo: Oh
-Jeoktap Siwoo: Advice ㄱㅅㄱㅅ I think I will clear the blockage soon.
-Seonhyeop Siwoo: Good, good
-Nut Pan Siu: I came.
-Akashiu: Oh, it’s been a really long time.
-Akashiu: Are you doing well these days?
-Nut Pan Siu: Well, you won’t die.
-Nut Pan Siu: And I also learned magic here. Would you like to share it?
-Akashiu: ㅇㅇ The more data, the better.
-Nut Pan Siu: Wait a minute. This is the magic the main character uses, and how to do it…
.
.
-Akashiu: From what I heard, it’s good for combat.
-Akashiu: If I do this wrong, there will be a major accident, right?
-Akashiu: Isn’t stability too low? How do you use this? The risk is too big compared to the return you get?
-Nut Pan Siu: It’s a bit hard on the body.
-Nut Pan Siu: Well, what can we do… Should be used in urgent situations
-Akashiu: Oh… Anyway, that’s a bit like that.
-Nut Pan Siu: When you actually face the situation, you will think differently, right?
-Akashiu: Well, since you are me too… If you made that decision, there must be a reason.
-Dark Demon Siu: Oh, is there a new magic system?
-Akashiu: ㅇㅇ
-Akashiu: What does this look like to you? If you look at it from a warlock’s perspective, it might be different.
-Black Demon Siu: Hmm.
-Black Demon Siu: I read it…
-Black Magic Siu: Isn’t this just black magic?
-Black Demon Siu: The main character uses this? Really?
-Nut Pan Siu: … What?
