Episode 190
There was no old-fashioned appearance as the time had not yet worn off, but the office space stood out as if it had just been built.
Allen was sitting there.
“…We have dealt with everything you said. Among the wandering refugees, those with criminal records and those with a bad heart were filtered out, and we bought as many temporary slaves as we could spare.”
“Isn’t there a shortage of food or shelter?”
“It’s quite acceptable because it was planned from the ground up to build a metropolis in mind.”
“Good job. Enelia.”
She smiled softly and bowed her head. Allen showed her maturity as if she had gotten used to her work. He opened his mouth as he handled the paperwork on the city’s problems.
“So, are Iliana and Francisca still there?”
“Considering the distance, it is likely to arrive today or tomorrow.”
“Any other talents?”
“Yes, as it is a new city, there were few people who volunteered to work here because they thought that the infrastructure was poor or there was a limit to the number of places they could go up. no see.”
There is only one city in Allen’s estate.
Of course, that didn’t mean there was literally only one. In his eyes, in the eyes of those who lived in Pertana and Elpis, the facilities were so outdated that it was embarrassing to call them a city except for the city of Vidar.
It was too small to be called a small town.
Therefore, it was safe to say that the city he founded, who became the new owner of the estate, was the only city in the area.
The new people in charge of city administration seemed to be ecstatic without knowing it, but… .
“It’s their choice, so there’s nothing we can do about it.”
“I’ve already signed a contract.”
Perhaps they will be fed up with the unimaginable amount of work they will receive upon placement. You will be secondarily frustrated that the contract date is a few more years away.
“Is there still no results from the Squall side? Apparently they said there was not much left…”
Skoll, which at first was only about the size of a city,’ has now grown so much that even Allen does not know about it.
They hid in each faction while the continent was in chaos.
This included the know-how of the ring bridge as well as the help of the shady queen, so it was no longer necessary to stop by the information guild to get information.
By the time it was created, the specific force of the organization was lacking, but it was getting better.
This was thanks to the shady queen.
The Queen of Shadows thought that it would take longer to recover the shade after staying like this, so she recruited talented people and trained them.
Not long ago, I heard that she was going out to deal with those who betrayed her, so results should come soon.
Allen didn’t bother to stop it.
This is because if you kill them and they settle in the shade of the area, they can naturally seep into the area.
The curious thing is that if he did that, Allen’s own power, Squall, would take over the next shadow, but she said nothing about it.
‘I’m sure there was a change of heart… :
I didn’t know what it was for.
It seems like something happened when the academy was raided in the flow of time… .
“I really don’t know.”
“•••Yes? What do you mean you don’t know?”
Enelia made a puzzled face at his sudden words. Allen shook her head, clearing her thoughts of Squall from her head. Because now I had to pay more attention to other things than that.
“Do you have anything to say about your mother?”
“That’s right, Eliza-sama is still fine, but I may need more circle members, so please send more…”
“Again…”
Allen pressed her forehead to her request. We’ve already sent out a hundred circles last week. But send it again.
“How many people have already gone?”
Three years before his mother mentioned the apostleship to him, he continued to send out circles at her request.
Of course, the apostle’s power was abused for that purpose.
“Didn’t the ring bridge say anything?”
“Yeah, I’d rather send them all if you want.”
“•••It’s because of the divine power.”
It was not unreasonable for them to act that way.
Until just two years ago, the ring bridge did not have much faith in the experiment that carried out dozens of ring members every month. It’s just that, because it was what the apostle was supposed to do, he didn’t have any complaints.
An experiment to artificially revive the divine power, does it make sense?
The situation changed when, unfortunately, people using the real divine power appeared.
brilliance school.
‘Perhaps those who were with Julius just before he died:
There was no doubt about their identities.
In any case, when expectations arose that the real divine power could be used in their appearance, the Ring Bridge began to fully invest in her mother’s experiments.
As a result, he did not care if some of his tasks had reached the point of being paralyzed. As with the existence of the Shining Church, saying that you can use your divine power is the same as saying that you can prove your faith and expand your church.
“After that, let me send you whatever you want…”
Allen looked at the papers she had handed over to him.
His power was now in a strange balance.
Squall, the Ring Bridge, and the Power of Mother.
However, although they were connected, they did not know about each other’s exact identities.
‘How many people are guessing.’
A way of helping only when needed, not with full cooperation, like a mother’s work.
That method was able to hide the existence of the upper layers by keeping secrets and not sharing each other’s information, but… , the efficiency was too low.
It may have been enough that way so far, but it will be difficult in the future.
However, it was difficult to openly reveal each other’s identities.
‘Can the forces created by Skoll and his mother, who have the purpose of opposing Julius, work together properly?’
In their situation, they kill the master’s son, but the squall’s owner is also the master’s son, a strange situation.
Another problem was the circular bridge.
A religion that is counted on five fingers as the name that will come out when the continent selects a representative cult.
It was self-evident that the moment the circular bridge was revealed, it would become difficult no matter how the two were harmonized.
Allen shook his head and opened his mouth.
It wasn’t something to think about right now. There will be time until the next one gets done.
“I’ve got something to think about, so I’ll call you when it’s time for dinner.”
“I’ll let you know as soon as Illyana and Francisco arrive. Oh, and…”
“Isn’t Linbell coming back?”
She had a gloomy face.
Linbell also went to Reinhardt’s estate at the request of her mother. And after she went there, there was no contact except for her letter.
I won’t come back until I have more power… •
“•••Okay. I’ll tell you when it’s too late, so don’t worry too much.”
Enelia moved silently and left the room.
Allen looked around for a moment. Now you’re used to going. Not only furniture specially ordered from the Great Forest, but also machine-made items that Illyana would have liked to see were adorned throughout.
A lot has happened in the last three years.
After leaving the academy, as a successor class and as part of a competition, he was awarded a manor… We did our best to prepare for the future.
It was the same as trying to make the city as big as the big city, and it was also the way Allen made Inelia and several others aware of the existence of the ring bridge.
If I had to pick the biggest one out of them, this was it.
“It’s already been three years.”
It gave him a lot of information.
Three books appeared one after another in front of him.
Black book, white book, gray book.
Among them, the black and white books were bound with intangible chains with a huge hole in the center.
The two books that had been pierced by the attack of Heisel could not be reopened as if they had been sealed.
Initially… I didn’t know what to do next.
The purpose was not different from the first.
He finds a way to get Julius back, and if it becomes difficult, he kills Kim Woo-jin.
They gathered information related to it, tried to find a way, and set up an organization.
But since I got so much information, I didn’t know what to do. It would be correct to say that I lost my mind.
I know I need to build up my strength.
‘But then what?’
Thanks to Bestla’s conversation, he learned that he and Julius had been chosen for a special purpose. The puppet Heisel was talking about meant moving without knowing their purpose, and books were also a benefit they gave him.
It’s probably part of his luck with what he does.
Of course, there were still many things we didn’t know.
How the hell do you end up being so restrictive?
What is the reason they do not have absolute power?
What is the secret of the family that exists independently of the one he has chosen?
But so?
What do you need to do?
Does it matter if I keep doing what I’ve been doing? Or, what should we do to prepare for the unpredictable end? Is the coming demon king different from that? Then the time is… .
Bestla was asleep, and there was no one she could tell this story to.
This was what appeared when I didn’t know which direction to go in.
Allen’s eyes turned to the one remaining book.
gray book.
A book that had previously been chained and could not be opened was now floating in front of him without any help.
‘Reincarnated/
Contrary to what was written with such a title, there was no reaction in front of Heisel, who could be called a true reincarnation.
That’s why I lost interest in Hygel.
Allen turned the bookshelf.
‘The Gray Book is fundamentally different from the other two books:
That was the impression Allen felt from the moment he was able to open the book for the first time. The gray book consisted of a blank sheet of paper. The back of the book had disappeared as if it had been torn.
It was pure coincidence that Allen found out how to use the book.
“Show me what you want…”
Giving clues to the information you want to know.
That was the effect of the gray book that Allen had grasped. Maybe it wasn’t, but he decided that after studying the book for three years.
His gaze turned to the picture in the book.
On the first page, a huge sword that seemed to pierce the sky and the giants gathered under it.
They surrounded the altar, above which a woman was depicted. There were corpses of dragons all around.
On the back page, a giant who had turned into an undead was sitting on a huge throne.
Thousands of undead forces were lined up in front of him.
The meaning of the picture drawn in the previous chapter became clear.
I can’t imagine why this picture came up. He needed someone to consult with the information he knew, and he wanted Bestla, who is still asleep.
So I thought that the painting might have something to do with Bestla.
‘Bestla and the giant must be inseparable.’
What came out in the previous chapter was clear.
There’s no way you can’t recognize your own sword just because the size has changed. The problem was the back cover. But that was three years ago.
“Is it a coincidence, or is this also a trick of the book?”
The Undead Palace is located in the center of Nastrond Plain.
Allen had hired several adventurers to find out. He spent a lot of money in the magical world where countless undead exist to collect information, and found the information within a month of placing the request.
It meant that we had to go to the Nastrond Plain, the center of the demonic landscape, which was overflowing with countless undead.
But Allen had more to do than just waking Bestla.
Skoll’s stronghold, which had limited movement, had to be moved to this place, and as it was the place to be his base, he had to develop the empty plain as much as possible.
The same is true for increasing personal power.
There was not much change in the swordsmanship side, but there was an unexpected achievement in the magic side.
You will be able to see what it will be like if you go into practice in the future.
“Now that I’m on track to a certain extent, it doesn’t matter if I leave the territory.”
Allen intended to head to the center of the Nastrond Plains.
alone.
