Episode 117
It was not intended that Allen had a relationship with Francisca.
Accident.
Originally, Allen took charge of the event that would have been the stage for Kim Woo-jin’s first public activities, and he became close with her.
Julius, who should have gone to Hibel, went to Gavia with Frindal.
As a result, the future where Julius and Julius, who hates naughty, quarreled and resolved the case disappeared.
But I didn’t pay special attention.
It was because back then, he was busy just thinking about his nightmares and future actions.
Because she rose to the 4th rank at a young age and opened up a new line of magic like Allen.
‘Is it worth making a direct relationship like Prince Eliza?’
Of course, she is a talented person.
In the future, among the talented people who were near Julius, he will be ranked at the top.
But if you ask me if I’m single, it’s not.
As of right now, there is Mariana, who has strong skills regardless of regression or possessiveness, and Elnix Dragias, who is inferior to that, but is the son of the third generation.
If she hadn’t had a chimera that seemed related to the devil, she wouldn’t have even gotten close enough to send and receive letters.
Especially if she had now disposed of the Chimera.
The same is true of meaningless prophecies and hidden stories.
What if it wasn’t for Grandel’s grandson, Whis Arona, who had something to do with her?
‘You must have maintained a certain distance.’
For Allen, she was just that.
It is necessary to watch, but it is ambiguous to engage deeply.
So, I was thinking of contacting them in advance and asking for cooperation after making an appointment… .
“Confucius, why are you looking at me like that?”
I’ll contact you and you’ll be back in no time.
Even on a dark night.
Allen couldn’t understand her behavior.
“Miss Francisco, I will be honest. It’s a little disconcerting.”
But she waved her hand with a brazen face as if asking why.
The window she came in was locked again, and the long tentacles disappeared like a mist.
“Why did you come here?”
“Didn’t Confucius call you first?”
right. But that was to schedule an appointment, not to break in at night like this.
Especially for a noble who cares about manners and manners.
“Are you sure you don’t know what I’m talking about?”
Allen opened her mouth in a subdued voice, and she paused for a moment.
Then he thought to stare at Allen for a moment, then sighed. As she straightened her expression of her wandering for a moment, she bowed her head.
“I’m sorry. It’s been a long time since we met, so I’m a little excited. Recently, the atmosphere in the tower has been a little suffocating.”
Allen could understand what she was talking about.
It wasn’t hard to guess what was going on in the tower, but is it okay to do that?
He paused after a few more words.
Her cooperation was essential in this case.
There was no need to disturb the relationship in the first place for nothing, as he had to ask for cooperation.
It wasn’t that she didn’t bow her head.
“All right. Next time, please contact me in advance. I also have privacy. What if I had already fallen asleep?”
When Allen calmly opened her mouth to calm the atmosphere and sat down, she smiled softly and sat across from her.
“Oh, are you really glad you arrived now?”
Allen organized his thoughts in his head.
‘I have already decided what to talk about.’
Using Whis Arona to find information on whether Grandel has acted like that on purpose in the past.
However, it was not easy to bring up the story because the reason she hated the nanny was related to the gnome.
“Is there any other reason you came here tonight? I’m trying to get information about Grandel and his grandson.”
So when we went into the full-fledged story after chatting for a while, there was no answer from her.
“I would like to get help from Miss Francisca in this regard. I’ll give you a solid reward, so can you help me?”
Allen felt strange. Is there any corner where you can’t answer these questions?
‘No, it could be because of her trauma.’
Allen closed her eyes and waited for an answer, so as not to burden her.
After three, five, and ten minutes passed, and there was no answer, Allen opened his eyes.
Francisca, she was looking at Allen with a curious look.
There were so many emotions in those eyes, such as anticipation, excitement, resentment, and obsession, it was difficult to even tell them apart.
“Miss Francisca… ?”
When Allen looked at her with a puzzled face, her expression returned in an instant, as if she had just come to her senses.
“no. But if it’s a burden… .”
She nodded her head without any hesitation as if the time she had pondered was insignificant.
“Are you really okay? I heard she hates bastards so much.”
She smiled broadly at Allen’s words, and responded with her usual face.
“It’s something I’ve always wanted to do. and… .”
She got up from her seat, suppressing the shaking emotions inside the mask.
You might be able to show your emotions.
Just one mistake was enough.
“Allen-sama said that he would give you a definite reward, so you can’t help but look forward to it, right?”
she turned back
Allen felt strange when things went so easily without the need to use the many negotiating materials he had prepared, but his doubts quickly dissipated.
She deceives herself, and there’s nothing she can do to help that bastard.
“Then, it’s late, so I’ll see you again tomorrow.”
She disappeared, showing her back.
Shortly after she disappeared, Bestla staggered and flew in.
“… Ha-am, Allen, who’s here? Why are you so noisy?”
“Does kendo sleep? No, it’s okay, go back to sleep.”
Allen looked at Bestla with a pathetic gaze for a moment, then shook his head.
“What is it all of a sudden! You don’t even know how hard I’m trying!”
Accepting her words as if familiar, Allen looked out of the city for a moment.
‘… I don’t have much time.’
Within the next two weeks, you should find all the information.
before they attack.
A small residence located in the town of Matap.
In the house where he was originally living with his grandfather, she was left alone immediately after he returned to the estate.
Francisca, she scrambled into the room.
The door to the room slammed shut, and she was engulfed in a dark shadow.
within it.
“Ha ha.”
Her shoulders shook. The sound of suffocating laughter echoed through her room.
“Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.”
The sound of laughter, which had been heard small, was now loud enough to be heard by anyone in front of the door, and then ceased in an instant.
“The prophecy was right. Right, right?”
Francisca’s graceful smile broke and turned bright.
It was as if he had waited only for this moment, now.
Before she even opened her mouth, Allen asked for information about Grandel and Whis Arona.
If this is not proof that the prophecy was correct, what would it be?
“My grandfather told me to give up on my thoughts and everything, but… .”
If that was possible, I would have given up sooner.
But, what are the results?
Unlike him, who gave up on revenge or whatever, saying that he would live a peaceful old age, she waited, and the result is in front of her eyes.
will be successful
“Allen, Confucius Allen, Confucius.”
As if belatedly confessing, she murmured with strange aspirations, recalling old memories.
As a child, her family was quite wealthy.
A grandfather who reached the fifth rank at the age of middle age and his father who inherited his talents, or even more.
And a mother who had great potential to equal her father.
Born between the two, she couldn’t have been without talent.
It was around the age of seven that her family had problems.
13 years ago from now.
While her father was expected to rise to the 7th rank at a young age, Grandel, who had established itself as a new mate, invited the couple.
The place he invited was the Primitive Corridor.
The place where the strategic weapon Bifrost was discovered in the past, and a secret space that opens once every few years.
Some said that it was a place where space was twisted right after the Great Fall, and some said that it was a new type of ruin made by someone in the ancient empire.
The space was closed in one day at the earliest or three days at the latest, but the practice inside was dozens of times more effective than the outside.
To such a place, Grandel went with them saying that he wanted to make friends.
never came back
In a situation that could not be seen by anyone, Grandpa asked the horseman.
-… I’m sorry, but that space isn’t a place we all pioneered.
But all they get back is that the trap was triggered by the couple’s mistake.
– Grandpa, this is a trap. There’s no way you’re going to die suddenly!
-… let’s give up
Immediately after visiting the horse tower, Princeal did not say any more with his face darkened.
He just stopped his external activities with a step that seemed to have lost all his strength.
He gave up, but she didn’t.
– This doesn’t make sense. Even a proper investigation team should be dispatched!
I visited the tower every day.
The other wizards were sympathetic to the loss of their parents and said nothing, but they were not children like her.
Whis Arona.
Where did that bastard pig hear that?
At such a young age, he was a man who led a gang as if he knew his power and was involved in all sorts of accidents.
-Stop coming here, you bitch without a mother. Because of you, my grandfather almost got hurt, and that’s not enough. Why do you keep coming back when her grandfather covered up his mistake?
He tormented her every time he came, and even provoked her with abusive language and violence when no one was watching.
If it hadn’t been for the help of a passing wizard, her circle would have been shattered by him.
That was the moment that led her to hate the mongrel to death.
Acting at will, swearing and violence became her most hated race.
– Kid, can I tell you a prophecy?
Then a woman approached her.
A woman who introduced herself as Kasha. She offered her a prophecy that no ordinary wizard would ever hear of her.
Feeling desperate, the little boy nodded his head slightly.
-Take me to the Reinhardt estate in 12 years, where there will be a boy about the same age as you. That kid… .
I will get your revenge.
She engraved the prophecy as if possessed, and by the time she woke up, the woman had already disappeared.
From then on, the prophecy became her everything.
-Grandpa, let’s go to Reinhardt’s estate.
Frindahl did not believe the prophecy.
It was just that the granddaughter was feeling refreshed and that he didn’t want to be here anymore, so he followed her words.
This was the reason why Frindal of the 5th rank became the exclusive wizard in the declining Reinhardt estate.
“Grandel, Whis Arona.”
There was anticipation and coolness in his blood-red eyes.
“You want information to kill them, right?”
her eyebrows curled.
With a lively voice, she muttered to herself.
“Of course, of course, we have to help. Am I ready for that? So, Confucius too.”
With an incomprehensible fanaticism that Allen would certainly help.
“You need help.”
my revenge.
The next day, the Matoap exchange meeting officially started.
The exchange meeting lasts for a total of two weeks, during which discussions and presentations are made on various topics.
Some of the themes were prepared by Matop, and some were prepared by the academy students.
The first topic was about the magic of fire.
“Let’s start a discussion about whether fire magic is status magic or phenomenon magic.”
As soon as one of the Magic Tower’s wizards declared as the mediator, the academy’s announcement began.
“Fire has been treated as a kind of plasma, the fourth state such as liquid, solid and gas. However, this is incorrect. According to our own experiments… .”
The students on the Matopian side simply listened to the academy’s announcement with a cool face.
Because it was the Galshudin Academy, it shows respect.
But, of course, I knew that the level would be higher, so I didn’t feel nervous.
“Fire is just a ‘phenomena’ that occurs when combustibles ignite and burn at high temperatures. It’s a plasma state, so things like the element of fire are already outdated hypotheses.”
They presented and finished fire-based magic with evidence to back up.
“… That is all.”
As soon as the academy students finished, the disciples of the Tower of Fire slowly stood up.
“I heard the academy’s announcement. Now, please present the argument of Matop.”
At the mediator’s words, the disciples on the Matop side raised the objection they had prepared.
“Fire magic is state magic, not phenomena. Even if their claim is ‘partial’ and close to the current situation, it is a fact that does not change.”
The disciple of Matap continued to object with a calm face, as if telling the truth coldly.
“Fire was recognized as one of the four major elements in ancient times, and is the cause of the present-day human flourishing. This means that the ‘idea’ of fire itself has already been recognized as a state. But is it a phenomenon?”
Julius wasn’t even a wizard, but he was caught between them.
“Can dragon flames be made by burning combustibles? The devil’s cold flame? It’s ridiculous to think that you can change the notion of fire that has been around for thousands of years with just one cheesy result.”
This is because Anya, who will become a fire wizard in the future, was on the academy side.
She said she was nervous and asked me to stay by her side, so she was here, not a wizard.
‘It’s bloody, it’s bloody.’
The academy side and the horse tower side did not step back and confronted each other.
There were no loud voices or childish provocations that he expected, but it was already like a battle as he continued his objection by pointing out the arguments and evidence he announced one by one.
Julius could easily understand why they act like that because he had seen the original work.
‘It’s an opportunity to show off your excellence to other wizards. In the end, we will exchange opinions and complement each other, but momentum will be important in the beginning.’
Magic is not a science, but it is essential.
This is because, in order for a wizard to develop the phenomenon of magic, an understanding of the magic system is essential.
Of course, once you’ve developed your skills, you can twist it to make cold flames and make rain of fire fall, but only a few talented people can get there.
“Then I will present my argument. I… .”
Julius looked at Anya, who was making an announcement without trembling in his voice, and hardened his face when he saw Heisel sitting in the audience.
Exactly, looking at the woman sitting next to him.
Lilith.
‘In the end, I couldn’t stop it.’
The problem was that he couldn’t drop him from Dalian, which decides whether to participate in the Martial Tower Exchange Meeting.
Unfortunately, the groups were split, and both Allen and Heisel were accepted.
After that, I asked him why not summon him and go, but unlike when he first informed the demons and the gate, he seemed confident.
‘No, I’ll take care of it.’
Even if he mentioned the information of other demons, he also gave up because he looked unmoved.
‘Ha, that’s annoying.’
After all, can’t you change the ending of the original?
Lilith is tied to the new Demon Lord.
If the new demon king finds out about her relationship with Heisel and does the same thing again.
‘Maybe we need another way… .’
Julius bowed his head.
His face, which had fallen into the shadows, was obscured by darkness.
Even Julius himself.
