“Oh, come on. president!”
Upon entering the room used as the waiting room at the time of the guild invitation ceremony, Evangeline Lohengrin, who was sitting on a chair as if waiting, got up and bowed her head.
In a moment of panic, Yoo Ji-hyuk stopped.
Aside from the fact that she greeted a smiling adult, it was because she looked similar to her in appearance.
“What the hell is that look?”
“Oh, this?”
Evangeline Lohengrin, who was nearly ten years younger, swept through her dazzling blonde hair.
“I’m not bragging, but I’m a little famous, right? If I ever sell my face, I’m sure there’ll be a commotion… So I came to look like a student like this. Look, I wore a school uniform, doesn’t it remind me of that?”
Yoo Ji-hyuk nodded slightly at her words.
Come to think of it, the first Evangeline Lohengrin I met was young and even wearing a school uniform.
And now she smiles playfully, grabs the hem of her skirt and releases it in the air, making fun of him by anyone who sees it.
“… just gossip It’s uncomfortable.”
“Oh, is that okay, sir?”
“Yes. Please, please.”
“Hmm, then what… .”
She shrugged and picked up the bag she had left behind.

Of course, it was enough to tell that it was not an ordinary object just by looking at the appearance and the subtly flowing magical energy.
“These are the things I asked for.”
The bag opened with a click.
A total of 14 rings were placed in a circle in the bag.
Yoo Ji-hyuk picked up the ring in the middle.
Dragon Ring (Rare)
It is a ring that melts the scales of a black dragon and covers it with several magic spells engraved on the inside.
It is an object that can be called a masterpiece rather than a masterpiece in which many spells are intricately engraved by an excellent wizard on a ring that is not lacking even if it is called a god by itself.
― Increases stamina and magic power.
― Physical resistance increases.
― Magic resistance increases.
― Protection and protection are engraved, so when the wearer is in danger, the field of protection automatically unfolds.
― You can receive the protection of the Black Dragon once a day.
― (Hidden) The energy of dragons, world trees, spirits, and seven evil species is imbued.
“Five… .”
Yoo Ji-hyuk briefly exclaimed at the superior performance than expected.
The most amazing thing was that the performance of each ring was different.
From the beginning, he asked Evangeline Lohengrin to raise the necessary stats for those who would wear it, but he did not know that he would do it so perfectly, so he could not hide his satisfaction.
“How are you?”
“Yeah, that’s great. It was good that I left it to Evangeline.”
“Ahaha, I didn’t gamble on the title of the Great Witch and the hierarchy of the tower.”
As if satisfied with Yoo Ji-hyuk’s reaction, Evangeline Lohengrin burst into laughter.
Then he pointed his finger at the three rings.
“Now, these are the things you asked for separately.”
Yoo Ji-hyuk immediately picked up three rings.
He put two in his bosom and held one to Evangeline.
At that moment, she opened her eyes and looked at him.
“… uh? What, are you really going to give it to me?”
“Yes.”
“really?”
“Then you thought I was joking?”
Evangeline, who had a slightly startled expression on her face, nodded her head.
When she said that she thought it was really a joke, Yoo Ji-hyuk asked, “Why are you making such a useless joke?”, and she didn’t say anything.
“Uh, um… Nope. Then I will be grateful.”
Saying so, Evangeline carefully took the ring from him.
Then he stared at it and tucked it into the middle finger of his right hand.
“Uh, but why do you need so much? to give to… ?”
“Friends.”
Yoo Ji-hyuk answered in a plain tone because he had nothing to hide.
Because it actually was.
Including herself, Han Soo-young, Choi Hyun-woo, Jin Ye-seul, Lee Ye-eun, Lee Yu-na, Ivan Hunt, and Cass Lyle and Ahn Do-hoon also had their share.
It was because it was prepared with the idea that in the first place, everyone who was born as a playable character should have at least one means to fight against the Seven Evils.
The other two were for Minerva and Laune.
“Oh, and here.”
Yoo Ji-hyeok pulled out a flask of Yoon Seul-hye’s blood from his arms and handed it to her.
And as he began to elaborate on what to do with this, Evangeline listened to him with a serious expression.
“… You just have to do it.”
Eventually, when his story was over, Evangeline nodded and uttered her sentiments in just two words.
“Totally crazy.”
“… … .”
“And I like crazy people like that.”
She giggled and nodded her head.
“Okay, as you said, I’ll try hard once more. You’re going to be a great grandson, so can’t you do one of these things?”
“Thank you, Evangeline.”
“And I’ll try to convince the other Ten Rivers as well. The more power, the better, right?”
Evangeline said so and bowed her head as if in deep contemplation.
“Lee Myung-Jun is that guy. He has a younger sister job, and it’s something you ask for, so he’ll definitely come. I will be there as well… Maybe Laura and Ahn Joo-hyuk, both of them will come, right?”
“Laura-san and Ahn Joo-hyuk?”
“Yeah, Joo-hyuk will probably come running barefoot to see his nephew… Laura… what is he… .”
Evangeline made a small puff and a sound as if the wind was falling.
“Anyway, these four people are almost confirmed. But others don’t know. Li Wuwei, it would be nice if he could come, but unfortunately he’s still recovering. Richyard Ajay and Anastasia must be dating, saying they’re attacking the gate from the polar side, and Evans is already in charge of the bodyguard… Our Lady Fujiwara said that she had a hard time for several months because she had urgent work to do in her home country… .”
“Four minutes will suffice. No, there are too many garages.”
Myung-Jun Lee of Special Attack, Laura of Defense, Evangeline of Magic, Joo-Hyuk Ahn of Healing.
It was because it was clear that this well-balanced net would be an unexpected and big power if it was added.
Evangeline, who was looking at Yoo Ji-hyeok with a happy expression for some reason, nodded as if understanding.
“Then I will stop now. I’ve been up all night for a while, so I’m so sleepy… I’ll sleep in a day or two, so don’t call me. It will take a while to ask, so don’t worry too much.”
“Yes, you did a good job.”
“… … .”
At his answer, she licked her lips as if for some reason she didn’t like it this time as well.
“… Oh, right.”
Then, Evangeline Lohengrin nodded as if she had forgotten.
“Ivan, did you say that you were friends with him?”
“Ivan? If you are talking about Ivan Hunt, you are right.”
she said with a slight smile.
“What I was supposed to teach you, I’ll do it in four days, so can you tell me to set aside some time?”
“Oh, yes. Yes.”
“… … .”
“Then let me go, Evangeline. Thank you so much and you did a great job.”
With those words, Yoo Ji-hyuk took the bag containing the ring and left without any regrets.
Evangeline, who had been sitting there for a while, sniffed and sniffed slightly.
“… … .”
After a while, she muttered quietly.
“… Was it a little too mean?”
At his unexpected reaction, she mumbled in a slightly trembling voice.

Originally, she was not good at talking to herself, but for some reason she kept muttering to herself without realizing it.
“I’m embarrassed, huh.”
As she muttered, she glanced down at the ring on her right hand.
Then he looked at it for a while and then looked at the other hand.
“… … .”
For some reason, looking at her left hand with her slightly trembling eyes, she swallowed a small saliva.
And as he moved his hand to remove the ring, he suddenly saw his own reflection in the mirror.
In the mirror, he looked 10 years younger than his original age, wearing an academy uniform, carefully clutching the finger with the ring on.
Evangeline Lohengrin, who looked at him, felt like something was hooking her and hitting her head violently.
“Ah-oh… .”
Then, in shame, embarrassment and embarrassment, she grabbed her face and bowed her head.
“You weren’t in a position to tease Laura… .”

Now the preparations are almost complete.
First of all, I was able to come to the conclusion that I was walking with the idea of leaving my bag in the dormitory.
He promised to get Alice’s help, and prepared as much as he could in relation to the sacrifice.
In addition, he was able to receive not only the artifacts requested by Evangeline, but also the aid of the Ten Rivers.
In addition, I finished talking to Lydia and Yeeun Lee in advance, and thanks to that, preparations to weave them, including Junhyung Choi and Landsh, were almost at the final stage.
Lastly, I had to tell Shin Woo-seok and Yoon Seul-hye in advance to find out the schedule or plan for the day of the festival and make a detailed plan.
Everything is going smoothly.
Still, I couldn’t get rid of the feeling of uneasiness.
I was able to come to a conclusion after thinking about what the hell was going on.
Because the plan went so smoothly.
Margaux was completely unexpectedly attacked at the time.
Sbangali was also expected to some extent, but as a result, this place fell into a trap.
Minerva, when we were dealing with her, even if we had prepared in the first place, all of them were prepared to die, so that point was not emphasized.
But now… This is an advantage, and it was the first time that everything went smoothly as planned, so I thought it might be because I wasn’t used to it.
Thinking about it again, I couldn’t help but feel bitter.
‘… okay.’
Come to think of it, Svengali had a hard time with Milited, and before Minerva fell, he told me that Milited could be more annoying than he was.
In case you don’t know, it’d be good to hear from them in detail about Milited.
It was when I opened the dormitory door with that thought.
“~~~~~~~~!!!”
“Billion, Laune?”
As if Laune had been waiting, he ran to me and hugged me.
I suddenly hugged him and realized that his energy was shaking.
“Okay, don’t cry… Because it’s okay.”

Once I closed the door and went inside, I pulled out a branch of the world tree for him and gave it to him.
Then, as if he was drinking binge to relieve stress, he began to ask questions and suck my magic power with a terrifying force.
“therefore.”
After seeing him calm down for a while, I turned my head to stare at the intruder who was standing still.
“Why did you come here in person? Wasn’t it originally supposed to be delivered to Belluna-san?”
“Well.”
Yado’s blacksmith standing in the middle of the room scratched his chin at my question.
“I’ve come here personally because I have a few things to tell you.”
“You have something to say?”
“okay.”
He nodded and spread his fingers.
“Four, originally there were three, but since coming here, it has become four.”
“What is it?”
Without realizing it, I asked him in a sharp voice.
“First. You unintentionally hurt your compatriot. don’t apologize I didn’t expect that either. It was a really unfortunate accident.”
“… Did you apologize to Laune instead of me?”
He nodded.
Looking at Laune, the guy also nodded.
“That’s it. What are you going to say next?”
“The second is that you and Minerva’s weapons are complete.”
He pointed to the weapons placed in the corner of the room.
“… Everything was made at your request. Check it out later.”
“It’s very fast.”
“Because I am confident about this.”
He murmured, then shook his head and folded his third finger.
“third. To make sure you and I count.”
He looked back at his words with a skeptical look on his face.
“I know I paid more, but are you trying to tell me it’s not enough?”
“no. As you said, you paid more for me. Now it’s our turn to talk about the change.”
He spoke in a calm voice with a gloomy expression on his face.
“Two times, just twice, I will lend you my strength.”
“In this case, it would be unreasonable to ask for my life or a similar request. It’s unreasonable to become a slave or ask for more wishes. Let me help you with what I am most confident in.”
He still looked at me with a melancholy look, but with quietly burning eyes.
“I do not lie or deceive others.”
“Exactly, your request twice. I will do my best to help. With this, the transaction between you and me came to an end perfectly, with no loss to anyone.”
“… great. If you, the blacksmith of the Yado and the high spirit of fire, can help, it will definitely be of great help.”
He was a man who could be said to be on par with Belluna.
From what I heard, it would be unreasonable to ask for help in battle, but that did not change the fact that it would be of great help.
“Then what is the fourth and last?”
“The fourth is entirely your choice.”
Yado’s blacksmith exhaled once loudly and slowly.
“I have great intuition. Sometimes to the point of being close to foresight.”
“… … .”
If Belluna had said it, it would have sounded like a child’s pomp at her bragging, but somehow it sounded quite believable when he spoke.
“Maybe that’s why, sometimes things for that person, and things I need in the future that I don’t know when, sometimes come to mind.”
He certainly seemed to have heard such a story.
The Knights Templar, which became the forerunner of the Association, gathered heroes from hundreds of years ago.
I had definitely seen in the original story that the leader of the knighthood received a famous sword from the blacksmith of Yado when he was young, and paid the full price just before he died.
“And I saw such foresight in you. … Of course, it is entirely up to you whether or not to accept my proposal and entrust the production of the product.”
Unknowingly, I reflexively asked his unexpected suggestion.
“Of course, but isn’t it free?”
“okay. I will count as one of two requests.”
I couldn’t help but worry about his words.
If it had been someone else, he might have dismissed it by saying that he shouldn’t make a fuss, but for some reason his words couldn’t be taken lightly.
“Would it be okay if I thought about it for a bit and then answered it?”
“Does not matter. But also take into account that you never know when your foreknowledge will also come true. Extremely speaking… You may need it tomorrow, or you may need it in a few decades.”
He murmured in a quiet voice.
“… And I can’t even say that my foreknowledge fits perfectly. In any case, think carefully and return the answer.”
His words only deepened his concerns.
Then I could think of someone who would know him best.
“I’ll ask Belluna-san.”
“Do whatever you want.”
As I was getting ready to call her, I asked him half-impulsively.
“By the way, if I ask you, what the hell were you thinking of making?”
He answered right away.
“coffin.”
