Episode 192
Allen and Iliana walked through a hidden passage deep in the mansion. Illyana didn’t open her mouth, as if she was thinking about what Allen had said.
He thought as he crossed the dimly lit pathway.
‘A hero, a hero… :
There have been quite a few people called heroes historically.
From afar, the first hero could be called a hero, and closer, the Eight Rivers could also be called a hero of the people.
‘Am I a hero?’
Allen laughed silently. He didn’t even think of it as a name that didn’t suit him. He shook his head.
he is not a hero
That was what he knew best.
Gan-woong could be said to be Gan-woong, but the thought that one could sacrifice everyone else for the sake of one did not fit the hero’s bowl.
However, he had to be a hero.
‘What will happen in the future is clear.’
The Demon King will be summoned.
Even if you want to stop it, you can’t stop it.
For years, Allen was preparing what he had planned, comparing what he knew about the original with reality, predicting what would happen.
It wasn’t that difficult with the help of the Shady Queen, including Squall, and the contents of the sealed black book that still remained in my mind.
It is only a matter of time before the Demon King is summoned.
It was a speculation based on the fact that Estedor’s movements stopped after the academy’s attack was unsuccessful.
If their plans had completely gone to waste, they would have again had an accident comparable to the academy raid.
But after that incident, they hid as if they had promised.
Currently, those who cause incidents and accidents are nothing more than chaff, compared to the power they have attacked the academy.
‘That alone was enough to undermine the various powers of the continent.’
As you can see from the exponentially increasing number of refugees and slaves, the continent has not yet fully healed the wounds of three years ago.
I’m just shutting it down.
However, in the midst of the chaos, there was no news of the vampires or Euger that he had seen before.
This meant that despite their failed attack on the academy, their separately prepared plan succeeded.
Therefore, it was clear that the Demon King would come, and in order to escape from the ending we saw in the Black Book.
‘You must stop the Demon King and defeat him.’
However, if you only wished for that, there was no need to go through such a cumbersome process.
What if you don’t have enough power?
It was enough to simply reveal her mother’s origin and the relationship between herself and Lupinus.
If personal fame was lacking, it didn’t matter if you increased your strength and challenged a new Eight River.
This was also part of the plan that was made after recognizing the first regression.
However, Allen designed the city in a style that is hard to find anywhere on the continent, and he has built a reputation for doing good deeds for several years.
In the process, he subjugated monsters and showed the force worthy of the name of a disciple of the beast king, and invested a lot of resources in the city as if ridiculing the thought that he would rule for a while and then leave.
‘Because it doesn’t end with the Demon King.
The only sound of footsteps echoed through the walls of the passage • wall; The purpose of Tahgli is because the sound gradually increases
It was clear that the ground was getting closer
In the first place, Allen’s purpose was not to destroy the Demon King or the world, but to save Yuliu X; that was the only thing.
But now we’ve come too far to just look at it.
There were people who believed and followed only themselves.’ Even if it was close to luxury, I had to think after everything was done for others other than ‘self’. and… .
The black god and the white god.
Yes, Allen alone was not enough to throw the Transcendentals into the mud, who would have designed everything above.
No, it was not enough to combine all the forces including Squall’s forces and the Ring Bridge.
However, if a giant power on the continent like Matoap City helps him, if not only the Matoap City but also the leading powers on the continent such as the Empire and the Beast Alliance unite with one mind.
Can’t fangs even reach such a transcendent?
‘•••It might be impossible. However.’
Allen distracted the thoughts that followed. As for the next plan, he had only vaguely conceived it himself, but he was not even sure if it would succeed.
But you can’t give up before you try.
That was the reason he wanted to go to the eternal battlefield, the paradise of the undead, and the plains of Nastrond, where the entire region was full of dead things.
Partly because it had something to do with Bestla, but if not for that reason, Allen would have been there.
It is a magyeong that is second to the great magyeong to decorate the first chapter of the hero’s epic. If you ‘purify’ the place, there will be no shortage of achievements.
At the same time, the background wasn’t bad because the Demon King had descended.
With that thought, he stopped walking.
One of those plans was Allen’s taking Iliana to the location.
tukne
Illyana slammed her head on the back of Allen, who stopped while walking, dazed in thought. She looked around her, fiddling with her forehead for nothing.
Over Allen’s shoulder was a steel door that seemed to be strictly managed.
The wall covered with dozens of layers of locks and chains seemed to exceed 10cm in thickness, and it looked as if a magic circle had been engraved as it was drawn with geometric patterns.
A sight where anyone can guess that there is something secret behind the door.
She looked puzzled at Allen, who was still in front of the door, and as she was about to reach for the steel door, he grabbed her wrist.
“That’s a trap.”
“•••Yes? Is this this?”
She looked at Allen for a moment with puzzled eyes. Is this a trap? Then where is the real door… ?
“Yeah. There are many traps that even ogres will die in an instant.”
Perhaps the amount of resources and money invested to install this trap was enormous. It was said that it was equivalent to the annual income of a small estate.
Allen, too, would have delayed his departure by several months if Princess Maha had not secretly supported him. “
“So wait.••Okay now.”
But the place he was heading to was well worth the effort.
The space refracted as soon as Allen, who had been concentrating for a moment, finished speaking.
When the old woman closed her eyes once, she was again in the middle of the dark passage.
Allen stepped back down one of the forked passageways. We arrived at our destination only after moving through space like that three or four times.
Illyana looked at Allen with tired eyes and turned her head.
and… , the body stiffened.
“..•We checked up to Area 27 and confirmed the problems that occurred after operation. However, there is no problem in operation….”
“Rather than that, what we need to think about now is whether we can reproduce that again with the current technology…”
Numerous scholars, researchers, engineers, etc., were busy walking around and discussing, and various machines and tools were scattered around them.
There were some rare ones that might interest her, but… .
Her eyes were nailed to a single place from the moment the space was moved and did not know how to fall.
huge airship. The airship, one of the weapons said to have been used in the ancient empire, was filling the huge common space in its entirety.
“Are you surprised?”
Despite Allen’s question, she couldn’t think of an answer, and muttered to herself blankly.
“This, no, there was something intact? If you know this, then the Empire is, no, then why is it still quiet….”
Illyana couldn’t contain her curiosity and turned her head.
“Prince Allen. I think it’s rude to ask this, but I’ll ask your forgiveness in advance, nevertheless.”
Allen nodded willingly, as if he knew what she was going to ask.
“why”
She took a breath and looked up at him.
“What is the purpose of showing this to me? Confucius, do you have any real self-interest in me?”
“Why is the airship here… what?”
“Am I really selfish?”
Allen looked at her with a rare bewildered expression. She opened her mouth again with a serious face despite his bewildered eyes.
“A non-aircraft built in the ancient empire. Restoring it in the empire is still a dream come true, and if it is fully operational, you can’t even imagine its value.”
“•••It would be.”
Even if the Empire gave me a million dollars, I wanted to have it. If that is not the case, he will not hesitate to take it by force.
The value of the non-collinearity itself cannot be said to be enormous.
However, the airship was an object capable of transforming the development of the world while seizing the air supremacy of the sky.
Especially in a time of rapid development of vehicles like now.
“Before, I said that I was moving like that because I was trying to show something… If it was such a complete non-collinearity, it would be ok. But, why?”
She asked, standing up to her tail, as if expressing agitation of her emotions.
“You show me this? You don’t even explain it to me properly. You didn’t even write a contract magic to keep it secret.
Didn’t everyone over there write it by force? By the way… .”
Allen opened her mouth, but shut her mouth at the vigilance and anxiety in the depths of her eyes.
She wasn’t asking if she really liked him.
I turned around and asked if it really meant anything else.
If you accidentally disclose information about this to the outside, it will cause a stir in the area. What would she think of bringing her to this place with such information without a word?
‘exactly… I was impatient:
In order not to count the number of words as much as possible, and she has a great interest in engineering, I thought that she would only be interested in it when she saw the non-collinearity that was the product of that engineering.
However, it would not be strange for her to show a deep secret that should not be leaked out, and forcibly commit something using that as an excuse.
Because she trusts him, it must have been her own consideration for making a joke like that.
“Illiana, this was my mistake. I admit it. But that’s why
Just as Allen was about to explain and correct her misunderstanding, a strange man’s voice interrupted.
“Gee… I think I came too early. How can I spare you?”
As they turned their heads, a man with a long mustache looked at them with a playful smile. Illyana flinched at his soft smile.
“Or why not bring it up again from inside the room?”
The chief executive officer of the empire.
Among them, one of the most powerful people in the three fingers, and not the Crown Prince, but the one holding the ropes of Princess Maha.
In the face-to-face battles, the dark shadow of the Empire’s strongest, Pierre Bernaf, is said to show a cleaner job.
And he is also the man who informed Princess Maha of the information Allen had shed on Johann.
Kant Laswell.
“Just in time, the message from the princess has arrived.”
He lifted the black fedora cap with the tip of his index finger and smiled coolly.
