Episode 167
Allen, who had entrusted the work to the shady queen, wandered the streets for a moment, contemplating.
It is good to immerse yourself in contemplation in a quiet room, but it is not bad to walk with a loud sound in the background.
A blacksmith who constantly knocks on iron, a solicitor who sells goods, a wizard and an assistant talk quietly, and the mercenaries make a loud noise.
“Did you hear the news this time?”
“Where, South?”
“Is it noisy only in the South? It’s everywhere.”
However, even in the usual atmosphere of Elpis, anxiety was easy to find.
What Estodor did this time was on a continental scale.
It will not be easy for a high-ranking member of a faction to die, like the attack on the matoap city, but it will not be easy for a large number of ordinary people under him to be harmed.
It was natural that
Elpis in the Great Desert of Galshudin felt like he had steered away from the continental chaos… I couldn’t see it as someone else’s business.
Because they all had their hometowns elsewhere.
Allen took the whole scene in his eyes and moved on.
‘There is no way to prevent Estodor in advance.’
The head of Estodor started preparing 137 years ago.
His strength could be said to be the only winner in both timelines, whether it was before he returned or the original Julius mentioned.
It is said that Allen interfered with some of his plans, but we cannot know all of his plans.
Guessing from this situation, the head of Estedor was a being who could flexibly modify the plan at any time and work.
The same is true for the non-airline construction of the circular bridge.
It is possible to touch it to the end, but for the sake of a perfect plan, without hesitation, I gave up on the ball I had put in so far.
So, what is he trying to achieve by doing this?
‘What they want is the summoning of the Demon King/
It worked only for that purpose.
Allen’s killing of the Chimera Shaman or hunting the witch is just the tip of the iceberg.
Judging by the eyes of the sky, how many witches were spread across the continent.
Raise a chimera magician to produce monsters.
Experiment with curses using witches.
Collect artifacts using a necromancer, and create gold chaos as a demon contractor.
So, again, the movement will have a purpose.
‘Those who can extend their power to the outside were silent for their own reasons, what did they suddenly move for?’
supply supply? It would suffice to do it on the outskirts of the continent.
That doesn’t mean we want to go to war blindly.
If you look at what happened, it must be a part of the preparations you have accumulated for a long time. They must have suffered heavy bleeding.
‘It is to gain by pouring out all that is worth.’
Allen made a guess based on memories of the past, the black book, and what he had seen so far, but he wasn’t sure because of the lack of information.
“Junior.”
The dry wave spoke as if the coming of the Demon King wasn’t everything.
“Sister Allen.”
In a little while, the Shady Queen will give you more information… .
“Son, please stop for a moment.”
Allen stopped at the woman standing in front of him.
I tried to pretend I didn’t hear it, but the other party didn’t seem to want it. I looked up and saw a woman with her magenta hair twisted.
One of the student council members and the senior leader of the relic practice group.
“Milred-senpai.”
Miled Pseudos blocked his way.
At her request, Allen walked to a nearby cafe.
“Is your hometown okay?”
“Once I hear the news, it’s fine, but I don’t know.”
“••. The Empire is recruiting people to gather for Mutuje, did you know?”
“Yes, the emperor is trying to expand his territory with the pretext of peace…”
Some people were talking about whether their family might have been hurt by this incident, while others were having a conversation about how the situation on the continent would go.
But Allen’s seat was quiet.

Allen looked at Milred-senpai.
She didn’t say a word when she brought him back.
‘Is this the first time since then?’
After undergoing a relic practice, he avoided meeting with her.
And she didn’t come to Allen either, and so time passed.
During that time, Allen went through training with the Beast King and changed through the events of Noah.
After countless contemplations, Allen changed to the way he is now after the final battle with Grandel in Matap City.
It is safe to say that he is different from when he first entered the academy in the past.
“••How have you been?”
It seemed she wasn’t.
After all, the first word that came out of her mouth was cliché.
“Yeah, good job.”
“.•.Yeah? Good luck.”
Her expression darkened again and quickly returned to normal. Then there was silence between the two of them, and she opened her mouth again.
“•••Ah, right. Did you hear that? The sudden disappearance of Elnix Dragias. Because we met often, but… did you know?”
“No, I didn’t know.”
The Dragias’s interest ceased after work at the harvest festival.
He would have been concerned about Elnix’s behavior, but when he realized the secret of what happened in the Reinhardt Territory, there was no need to pay attention to him.
‘But I’ll have to check it out later.’
It will be easier to deal with unexpected surprises to be prepared than not to be prepared.
“And you heard that there is no end-of-semester festival this year?”
“Now I know.”
“With the current situation, the professors are having different opinions as to what the academy should do.”
“Also, the number of students asking if they can return to their hometown just in case is increasing.”
“It can be.”
Allen looked at Milred as he spoke several stories as if afraid of silence again.
The laid-back and lively figure he remembered was busy pouring out words out of nowhere. Allen cut her off.
“What are you going to do next?
Milred kept his mouth shut as if he had been waiting for those words.
The reason I accepted her invitation was that when I met him, her expression caught my heart. There are past relationships.
But he didn’t need to be here any longer if he was going to waste time needlessly.
At Allen’s question, she spit out the words she wanted to say just then.
“Sorry.”
“What are you talking about?”
She frowned for a moment before continuing, avoiding his eyes.
“William, Evan, Ariel.”
“Why are you sorry for that?”
“I should have done better. I didn’t go all the way down just because you guys were good, I had to stop.”
Neither emotional excitement nor screaming in anger. But the way she opened her mouth pretending to be calm was like confessing her sins.
She shuddered at the sight.
While he overcame the task of relic training, she was still settling for the work of half a year ago.
“It was an accident that anyone could experience. It cannot be said that it was their fault.”
It’s Kim Woo-jin’s fault.
Allen had no regrets with her.
“•••still.”
“If there’s nothing more to say, I’ll leave.”
The young woman noticed whether his reaction was unexpected. Allen stood up, regardless of her attitude.
The psychological problem is unfortunate, but it is a problem that she has to solve on her own.
But she caught Allen.
“If it’s the same story, I’ll go…”
“student president.”
When he turned around to say something else, she quickly opened her mouth as if it was something else this time.
“The student council president told me to bring a junior.”
Maria was in a different place than the usual underground shelter or dormitory.
“Maria. Good job.”

Anastasia paid close attention to Maria’s transformation.
She and Allen sent her to retrieve the broken armor, one of the warrior’s gods, by dropping it.
Her cheeks had turned a little haggard after months of hardship, but her strength was stronger than she remembered.
‘now… 7th rank will win with an 80% chance.’
Her growth is smooth.
An artificial specimen created through the blood of a warrior.
Among the many decades of research and discarded specimens, she stands out. Excluding her personality flaws, she could have ripped out the talent of her first hero.
It is already hundreds of years.
I was trying to get back to heaven.
‘The preparations are almost finished.’
After the Great Fall, the soul of ‘Anastasia’ was created by gathering the remnants of the many gods who fell from the sky.
By stealing the body of the last surviving descendant of the ancient empire with its soul, it became the present-day Anastasia Pseudo.
What constitutes a god is not the same achievements as a hero, nor is it a multitude of riches.
just worship.
It needs the worship and faith of many.
Religion was the representative way to obtain it.
However, in the present era, the temple was destroyed without leaving a single pillar, and the statue was smashed and used as a material for making a house. ‘
If she tried to create a religion, it would only become one of many pagans, and it would be fortunate if it was treated as a cult and not subjugated.
so that… .
“I needed to be ready.”
to ascend to heaven again.
Maria looked at Anastasia, who was talking to herself without an expression.
“People don’t usually seek God. Always in crisis, when life is at stake, when the world is in chaos and the continent is dyed in despair.”
No matter how much the child cries, the mother never returns.
In an age when infested monsters and evil demons seek to prey on tender flesh, people seek God.
When we are immersed in despair and fear, anxiety and fear, and resignation and frustration, we turn to God.
Therefore, the present age was an appropriate time for people to depend on God.
“But I don’t believe it that easily.”
They are repeatedly suspicious and vigilant, and they feel distrust and rejection.
But if you go through all of that and you have real faith.
The temple will appear again.
She looked at Maria with a smile on her ecstatic face as if thinking of that time.
This child was her masterpiece.
Although he had no power to cause natural disasters on the earth and his eyes that penetrated the truth of the world, he mobilized all the knowledge he had gathered while establishing the academy.
The last clan of the ancient empire was able to untie the seals of some other ancient people.
“You’ve grown up really well, Maria.”
She will become a symbol of the new religion.
A descendant of a warrior and an apostle of a new religion.
With her angelic beauty and cold-blooded appearance, she will travel around the continent, subjugating the evil ones.
The chaos that will now arise will be the signal of the plan she has been waiting for.
‘If you make a portal to banish demons… .’
Insects to stop it will flock here.
She is a hero ready to appear then.
“Let’s wait long enough again this time. You know what I mean, right?”
Anastasia turned her head to the answer she had not heard for a while.
u OW • • • !■

“Did you just answer?”
“••••••I did it.”
For the first time, Maria spoke a lie.
Anastasia looked at her like that and turned her gaze away. ‘Not yet’ was fine. She didn’t even have time to make adjustments again.
“Then I’ll go back and wait. Now I…”
Anastasia’s appearance began to change.
Light purple hair and intelligent face.
The clothes that covered the body were changed to cadet uniforms, and the body was changed to match it.
“I think I’ll have to meet Allen Reinhardt.”
All of a sudden, her appearance had changed from a ‘common’ to a ‘genius’ from a high-profile student council president.
When Maria turned her head, thinking that she seemed to be slow to react again, she saw her turning around belatedly.
Once this was done, it looked like it would require a whole reorganization again.
After thinking about it for a while, I heard a knock on the door.
“Student President. I’ve brought Allen Reinhardt.” “Oh, Milred. let me in I was waiting.”
The door opened and Allen and Milred entered.
Allen met for the first time, the student council president, the real monster of the academy.
