The exam period is over and the weekend is back.
I plan to go on a healing trip over the weekend to organize some information about the confusing situations that have happened recently.
Since it’s a trip, my heart is already starting to thump.
“May I go?”
asked carefully.
The librarian in charge of the Central Library’s banned book storage room was a middle-aged man with a stern and solemn expression.
“I got a call from the president the other day.”
“So, you can go?! Because I have an insignia!”
“That’s right.”
“Is that right? Because I have an insignia! insignia!”
“… … yes. You can use the 3rd to 6th Index of Prohibited Books.”
Then, when I put my hand on the heavy iron door, countless magic squares were revealed on the surface, and it started to rotate like a saw tooth.
– Recognition of suitability, admission approved.
When the door opened, an amazing world unfolded, and a pleasant scent wafted out.
The smell of dust accumulated over a long period of time and the decaying paper… … The unique breath of the library with a long history.
Just smelling this smell makes me feel great.
‘If this isn’t a trip, what is it? maybe it’s the drugs The only drug allowed by the Emperor’s Office.’
It was a two-story structure with a height of three stories, and bookshelves were placed everywhere as far as the eye could see, cherishing thousands of old books.
A grin broke out.
Even if I didn’t just read the book, I felt good just looking at the countless books piled up. Looking at the heavy weight of it, a smile is built on its own.
‘Looking after Kasena Paige was worth the effort.’
Now, let’s cool down a bit.
I’m here to sort out some pretty serious information today. Wandering through the collection of historical books, I soon found the book I was looking for.
『History of the Tersian B.C.』
Since the history of B.C. was also the history of the abyss, detailed information was not disclosed to the public.
That’s why I heard most of the information from Lista and Friede even in my lean days… … .
The reason is that as soon as you open the head of the book, the book tells you.
[It is taboo to call the Lords of the Abyss by their true names. That is why they are now called ＜Forgotten Kings＞.]
It’s because just reciting the true name of ＜Forgotten Kings＞ weakens the power of the seal… … It’s hard to believe, but it is.
[index.]
1. BC, Age of the Abyss.
– Who are ＜Forgotten Kings＞?
ㆍ1.1 Lord of the Deep, Talking Madness.
ㆍ1.2 Worm Lord, Wriggling Chaos.
ㆍ1.3 Spider Lord, the mystery of disrespect.
ㆍ1.4 Lizard Lord, Howling Doom.
ㆍ1.5 hour lord, deluded harassing.
It is possible to grasp the alternative information by the tinnitus indicated in the book.
For example, in the case of ‘Shouting Madness’, we can know that the area of activity was the sea, and in the case of ‘Wriggling Chaos’, we can know that its followers are worms.
It was the lizards of the ‘Crying Ruin’ that appeared 300 years ago. We headed to Antarctica to prevent the seal from being broken.
[2. Appearance of the gods.]
– Who are ＜Things That Came＞?
ㆍ2.1 Terbel, the sun of the blue sky.
ㆍ2.2 Bloody Sun, Shurigan.
ㆍ2.3 Black Sun, Karenden.
ㆍ2.4 Pale Moon, Maxentia.
ㆍ2.5 The noble moon, Jiannir.
ㆍ2.6 The sad moon, Tersia.
ㆍ2.7 Creation Moon, Meian.
[3. The war between ＜Forgotten Kings＞ and ＜Things to Come＞.]
ㆍ3.1 Blade of the Gods, Elmine Knights.
… …
… …
(…syncopation…)
… …
… …
ㆍ3.10 Tarhye Rondel Battle.
It is said that they came from another world, so the gods called ＜those who came＞ came as light to this world of darkness, cleared the abyss, and presented peace and freedom to mankind.
＜The Forgotten Kings＞ were sealed all over the continent by ＜Things That Came＞.
The spider lord is in the north pole of the ＜Snow Great Wall＞, the insect lord is in the fairy land of the Idea Peninsula, the deep sea lord is in the Mediterranean Sea, the lizard lord is in the south pole where the ＜Flame Manli＞ is built, and the time lord is the blade where the Emperor’s Office is located. on the peninsula.
For reference, the three suns and four moons that illuminate the day and night were all surprisingly created by the power of ＜those who came＞.
‘And this Elmine Knights… … .’
These are the first five warriors.
It is correct to speak of the strongest soldiers that mankind is currently imitating under the name of Paquerio.
Its origins are not certain, although opinions are divided as to whether it was originally a fairy, a human, or a creation of the gods.
[4. Dawn of Civilization.]
– The appearance of the departing gods, the Three Gods.
ㆍ4.1 The radiance that looks down, the light dragon Haraderiman.
ㆍ4.2 Wild Fury, Fire Dragon Bell’Dakidun.
ㆍ4.3 Penetrating eyes, the water dragon Jeriserica.
Lastly, ＜Things that came＞ created three divine dragons as administrators before leaving this world.
Guangryong, who leads the Yellow Dragon Corps, is famous for looking down on everything in the world while leading religion as the emperor of the Beophwangcheong.
The Fire Dragon, whom I have met in person during my Rin days, is leading the Red Dragon Corps to protect the civilized world from the abyss in ＜Fire Manli＞ in Antarctica.
It is said that the water dragon protects the world tree and the light of the gods along with the white dragon army in the fairy land, the Idea Peninsula, but there is not much information known to mankind.
‘I’ve finished reading here, there are two reasons I’m here today.’
1. Who sent me Lynn’s biography and diary?
2. Who is the ＜Forgotten King＞ served by Valencidis, Ribadin, and Liveni?
First of all, the answer to number 1 was vaguely guessed. It’s only the light dragon Haraderi with a high probability. There is no explanation other than that divine being.
Even the fact that it is the Imperial Court that manages Rin’s belongings greatly supports this sentiment.
Then I wonder why there is no direct contact… … Do you want to let me enjoy my new life like Friede?
‘Move on to the next point… … .’
If you can identify the ＜Forgotten King＞ they serve, you will be able to devise a countermeasure. Depending on who the monarch is, the authority also changes.
Livenny said that she was the vessel to contain Rin’s soul.
If that’s the case, it must be the mindset of how to use my body, but I can specify my goal with this.
‘The lizard lord’s other nickname is ‘Death Devourer’… … Are you going to swallow my death and resurrect me?’
If you’re not a lizard lord, you’re a time lord. The Queen of the Abyss, who interferes with the world line and changes the position of the world point, twisting the time line itself.
‘What if I’m thinking of taking my soul from a time period where I wasn’t dead and planting it in that body?’
I thought about it for a while, but I couldn’t come up with an answer. Shall we go to Haraderiman and tell the situation so far?
But what if only Haraderi doesn’t know me?
As a heretic who believes in reincarnation theory and a madman who insists on the reincarnation of Rin, wouldn’t he be tortured by the ‘Golden Children’?
“Oh man, I really don’t know.”
Just as I was scratching my head, the librarian who manages the Index of Forbidden Books approached me.
“What? Do you have daily use hours?”
“No, the President is looking for Confucius. There was an order to bring it right away.”
me? why me again Could it be that since you’ve seen all the benefits, you want to steal this insignia?
That’s not allowed!
I went to the president’s office with a bit of annoyance and anxiety, but the reason he called me was for a reason I never imagined.
“A party?”
Then, wondering why she was so busy, Madelia nodded as she hurriedly finished the paperwork.
“okay. I’ve said it before, but we were busy with each other, and the reward was very poor compared to what you did for our family.”
“yes? no. It’s okay to receive this badge.”
“There is nothing to be humble about. To congratulate you on becoming a senior cadet for the second year in a row, even if it’s not grand, we’ve prepared a party, so let’s go together right now.”
party… … As soon as I heard that word, goose bumps ran through my body.
I hated it since I was young. Hanging out loud with a lot of people you don’t even know, and having strict manners at the same time.
I was planning on taking a serene trip to the library this weekend, but I can’t be bothered.
“I also want to attend, but since my family is going back to Bellewin today, I feel like I have to send them off.”
“Hmm, really? You really want to attend, but is that why you can’t come?”
“That’s right. It’s too bad.”
that was my defeat
Scary to say that, a sly smile flashed from Madelia’s lips.
“Then there will be no problem! Brim also said he would bring your younger siblings to attend.”
“yes?”
“I couldn’t help it if you really didn’t want to come, but I can’t help it if you want to come like a chimney.”
I touched my forehead in a sigh.
No, how can this guy’s family not be of any help… … Then, desperately, he shook his head.
“Actually, I have that too, but when I came to school, I didn’t bring any banquet clothes. Unfortunately, I can’t attend like this—”
“—Kennis.”
Madelia snapped her fingers and called for the secretary, who soon brought in two ladies-in-waiting. Holding an armful of banquet dresses in her arms… … .
“Everything is ready. You just need to bring your body, Lane Ludwig.”
Madelia’s eyes brightened as if she had an excuse to do something else… … After such twists and turns, this is how I am now.
From noble mtl dot com
It was like being dragged into the Paige family’s mansion with her hair shiny and wearing a luxurious banquet dress that didn’t suit her.
It was an understandable sight for the pigs being led to the slaughterhouse. I quit eating meat for a while, I.
“Kennis, are you ready?”
“They say it’s over.”
“good.”
As soon as they arrived at the small banquet hall of the mansion, led by Madelia, exciting music was played by the band.
It was a small banquet hall, but it was big enough to be compared to Bellewin’s grand banquet hall.
“Congratulations, Lane Ludwig, second consecutive senior.”
When Madelia, who was walking ahead, looked back and smiled, applause poured in from all directions.
Although Lane didn’t know it well, he built up a great liking for all the members by fixing Cassena’s leg and making the mansion lively.
In a situation that he did not understand well, Lane tilted his head with a confused expression.
“Uh, well, uh, I don’t know. Why is this celebrated in the Page family… … .”
Then, a middle-aged man with a nervous impression walked out, quelling the commotion.
Cassena’s father, Yuren Page.
He strode closer and wanted to let out a big snort, then suddenly grabbed Lane’s shoulders and nodded.
“I heard from Madelia and Cassena. Is it all your achievements that allowed Cassena to perform so well in this test?”
“Achievment worthy of—”
“—Yuren, I was truly moved! That’s why I decided to acknowledge you with the utmost courtesy. Become a man who is good enough to be my son-in-law!”
In an instant, the headache struck again.
is this story again?
I don’t understand why these days all of a sudden people talk about marriage… … Just then, my trusty escorts stepped forward.
“Me, Your Highness? Anyway, I’d say this is too fast… … Maybe Rain still needs time to organize his thoughts.”
Mother too! I believed!
In addition, Sherry Ludwig also added an extra hit.
“No, that’s right! Above all, my older brother Lane decided to marry Se-ri later! So this can’t work!”
You just shut up… … .
Yuren shook his head as if he wouldn’t even listen to such a rebuttal, then clapped his hands and shouted at the same time.
“Casena, now deliver it yourself!”
just right… click… … Along with the sound of crutches brushing against the marble slabs, breathless exclamations flowed from here and there.
It was, indeed, the beauty of eclecticism.
To the point where Lane whistled for a moment.
Light purple hair, elegantly tied up, bounces off the light and flutters, and in the smooth curves forming the shape of the face, the clear features like a picture stimulate everyone’s heartstrings.
“How can you be so beautiful… … .”
“What is it, you were beautiful since childhood… … .”
The hem of the dress, a harmonious mixture of gold and light purple, slithered over the ankles where the muscles were gradually attaching.
It was the first time. Seeing Cassena Paige dressed up like this, seeing her face with aristocratic make-up… … .
Because of the unique hair color of the Page family, she was the only beauty in the world. It was a beauty that men longed for more because it was only one.
“Puuhahahaha… … .”
Then someone burst into laughter.
It was Lane Ludwig.
At first, everyone thought the boy was laughing because he was embarrassed, but it turned out that he was laughing because he was really funny.
“Maybe it’s because a lady who always trembles wears it like that, so it doesn’t suit her at all. It’s very funny.”
Yes. To Lane, who has no special interest in the opposite s*x, the lady was a bit cool for some reason, it was just this level… … .
“Sigh, noisy! My dad almost forced me to put it on too! Rain, you are really funny!”
“I was also forced to wear it by the president. This is what it means to be together.”
“Sympathy? What is it?!”
“It means that patients suffering from the same disease feel sorry for each other.”
“what? Yeah, it’s just like Rain and me. Heh, heh, heh, heh… … !”
As the topic began to leak strangely, Madelia cleared her throat and called Cassena. Cassena nodded and cleared her throat.
“Hmm, hmmm! Forget the weird noises Daddy made. Why am I marrying you in the first place?”
“Isn’t that right?”
“I am Paige! The difference in status with Ludwig is heaven and earth!”
Then Yuren screamed.
“What do you mean, Cassena! Aren’t you talking too harshly to son-in-law Lane?”
“Dad, be quiet! That doesn’t help!”
Yuren, whose complexion was pale from shock, was quickly removed from the center of the conversation, perhaps because he had heard harsh words from his beloved daughter.
Cassena, who was blushing and blushing, straightened her expression again and said,
“The reason I called you, what is that, was to give you a thank-you gift. It was decided after discussions with Dad, Mom, and me.”
Then, leaning on one of her crutches, she took out from her bosom a wooden box engraved with the Page family’s seal in luxurious gold and silver treasures.
What else is this?
The moment I received it and opened it, I was lost in the wind, as the light that was not of this world soaked my whole body.
“I hope this… … .”
It was a gem. It’s a gem, but it’s not a gem. It’s not something you can put a price on in the first place.
How the hell am I supposed to explain this?
A sphere the size of a ring that can’t be imitated by any superpower in this world, shining jet-black.
Although it is such a small object, it twists, absorbs, purifies, and amplifies the flow of magical energy flowing through the air.
“Do you like it? I can’t help but listen!”
Cassena, who was carefully examining Lane’s eyes, shouted with a relieved expression.
“So, this is, uh, that, huh… … .”
When Lane couldn’t even speak properly due to the shudder that swept through his body, Madelia approached with a smile.
“What you are thinking right now is correct. It is black sheep.”
black sheep.
A treasure among treasures that must be mentioned in any book dealing with the history of magic. The utopia of all wizards.
The effect of this creation, which Karenden, the black sun, gave as a gift to Emissa Page, the founder of magic, when she left this world, was truly unique.
Not to mention effects such as magic amplification and magic power enhancement, the greatest thing was the magic recovery effect.
Originally, magicians must rest or meditate in order to recover their magical power.
However, this Black Sheep Lin stabilizes and reactivates the caster’s spirit by itself. To put it simply, magic is automatically restored at any time.
There is no magic crystal with this effect anywhere in the world. The problem is that there is only one pair of black sheep in the world.
[It has been a traditional custom to give a black sheep to a person married to the head of the Page family… … .]
Of course, it’s not just giving.
lending.
When the head of the household handed over the seat to the heir, the spouse also returned this to the page family. Brim, who knew that, opened his mouth.
“Senior, isn’t this a wedding present for the Paige family?!”
“right. But this case is a bit special. Lane, it’s okay to say that you don’t want to marry me. take it.”
I doubted my ears for a moment.
This, so you want me to receive Black Sun Karenden’s gift now?
“In the distant future, when Cassena’s child becomes the head of the family, all you have to do is return it. I want to give it to you as it is, but I have to protect the family tradition.”
“But senior… … Then, what about the person who will later marry Lady Cassena?”
“I want to get married like this, but I can’t help it if they don’t like it. Shouldn’t you explain the situation to the person you’re going to marry?”
who the hell would say
They say you’re the one who made the wife you see in front of you walk, and the one who made you smile like this again.
Madelia placed her hand in Lane’s hand, gently closed the wooden box as it was, and held it in Lane’s arms.
“You are my lifelong benefactor, no, our Paige family. I hope you will accept it.”
I really want to receive it. Want. I really want it, but no matter how much I think about it, it just doesn’t seem right.
This is an heirloom of the Page family.
A memento of the founder of magic, Emmitsa.
Maybe I won’t have any ties to the Page family after I graduate from college, so can I accept this? no. Thinking so, I raised my head.
“Take it, Lane.”
She smiled proudly and nodded her head, then said:
“It is one of the virtues of an adult to know how to receive the sincere sincerity of others with joy.”
