I went straight to the Rothstein family.
It was because of the word that the investigation of the blueprints inside the cube had ended.
The place where I was greeted and guided by Duke Leon was a confidential workshop where important work was done even within the family.
Inside, a skinny old man was waiting for me.
“Welcome, low.”
“Nice to meet you, master craftsman. This is our second meeting after the banquet.”
After exchanging brief greetings with him, I headed straight inside.
A warehouse like a safe that stores items that are considered important among the items entrusted to the confidential workshop.
Giying – clap, clap.
When I unlocked all the locks and went in, the blueprints I had entrusted were there.
There was also a cube returned from the diplomatic mission.
“First of all, it was impossible to interpret the contents of the blueprint. As I said before, this is not a modern text.”
He nodded his head in silence at the explanation of the craftsman.
I didn’t know what that meant at first.
It wasn’t like that now that I knew that this was one of the things the Resurrection Church was looking for.
‘It must be something from the ancient times.’
It is said that there are those who sealed Hubris that tried to destroy the world in the past.
They wanted to completely dissipate its powers, but they couldn’t.
So the next best thing to use was sealing.
It split the power into six parts and hid them on two continents.
‘Two of them came into my hands… … .’
In other words, if the powers of the two continents were gathered together, the power of the sealed Hubris would be completed.
“At first, I thought it was a blueprint for an underground temple. It was like a blueprint.”
But he added that it wasn’t.
“This is the summoning circle’s magic formula. If you adjust the underground temple according to this information, the summoning circle will be complete.”
“Are you drinking?”
“I don’t know what it summons, but I think it’s either a spirit or a phantom beast.”
It was a speculation that came about because there were generally only those two beings that humans could summon.
“According to this, I think we can prepare for the ceremony in the underground temple.”
“Then what is this cube? Is it a simple archiving tool?”
“It appears to be a device for invoking the summoning circle. To add my opinion, I think only you can use it.”
“Only me?”
“Because only you can open and close this cube.”
After getting the cube back.
Technicians, including the craftsman, tried to manipulate the cube, but all failed.
‘Now I understand why only I can manipulate the cube.’
It must be because of the heavenly spirit I wore.
The existence of this cube was also discovered through the reaction of the Heavenly Spirit.
‘Then, does that mean I can handle the one summoned from the underground temple?’
As Syke said, if this heavenly spirit is a vessel that collects fragments of Hubris’ sealed power, then it would be so.
“If you prepare the summoning circle according to the magic formula, how long do you think it will take?”
“In my opinion, it will take several months.”
“Several months… … Let me proceed.”
“Okay, low.”
After the conversation, after leaving the studio, I got into the maga to move.
It was to head to the Roman Mountains under construction.
In the meantime, I reviewed the information I had obtained from Psych.
‘Then this kind of power exists in the Feyer Continent as well… … Skadi, don’t you know something?’
[I’m guessing, what are you asking?]
‘Since you’re a spirit, you must have lived a long time.’
[I didn’t live that long either. So I don’t know.]
‘uh… … okay? Didn’t he become the Spirit King because he lived for a long time?’
[I’ve been a spirit king since I was born.]
According to Skadi, even spirits have a lifespan.
It’s just that the time is overwhelmingly longer than that of humans.
[There are cases where you can become the Spirit King after birth, but in most cases, it is determined from birth. I am also like that.]
‘Hmm, that’s right.’
For now, I decided to stop thinking about the sealed power.
No matter how much I think about it, I don’t have enough information.
[Shouldn’t we be looking for them? There is also information.]
‘That’s right.’
I couldn’t find out the base of the Resurrection Church from Psych.
Other than that, I got quite a bit of good information.
Starting from his usual route, the middle contacts he met to receive orders.
‘If you put your mind to it, you can find it right away. but… … .’
I had to move carefully.
I caught Psyke this time. It could have been a simple accident.
Will it be possible next time?
If this happens one after another, the Resurrection Church will be very wary.
I wouldn’t think that the information would have been leaked because of the motto’s magic, but… … .
‘Now is not the time to move. If I do, I’ll do it when I can deal with them even if they move.’
Sensing vigilance, the Resurrection Church would take one of two actions.
Move more stealthily, or make a decision and run into it.
Either way it was a headache.
‘Rather than moving blinded by greed, I need to move carefully.’
The important thing is to be acknowledged by the Queen for eradicating the Resurrection Church and doing the right thing.
I wasn’t confident that I could handle them perfectly with my current strength and manpower.
[How about informing the Queen and receiving official support?]
It made sense.
He was able to defeat Psych easily because he used darkness, heavenly spirits, and telekinesis.
If you can’t use these elements, the already unstable power will be lower.
Even with this, it was difficult to defeat a high-ranking wizard or warrior head-on.
It took quite a lot of troops for a strike there.
‘I’ll have to tell the queen once, as well as an interim report.’
By the time I finished thinking like that, I arrived at the Roman Mountains.
It was completely different from before.
The dense forests and lofty mountain ranges were laid with perfectly maintained railroad tracks as if they hadn’t existed in the first place.
It was impressive to see so many engineers busy moving and carrying out the construction.
“It’s so amazing to see it with my own eyes, to think that the mountain range would change like this.”
“It has to be completed in time for the New Year’s party. When it snows, the work inevitably slows down.”
It’s still November, so it’s not snowing.
It was a season that was not strange no matter when it came down.
“Since Her Majesty the Queen has announced that the road will be completed in person at the New Year’s party, everyone is excited.”
As Alan said, the high level of concentration was felt from the technicians.
He must have been very excited to announce it at the New Year’s Party, one of the biggest events in the kingdom.
“I’ll finally see you at the New Year’s party.”
“Who are you talking about?”
“I mean brother.”
Morgan, who is currently at Hasla Academy, is about to graduate.
In other words, it is said that it will start full-scale action from next year.
“that… … Are you okay? Even if you look at the deterioration of Morgan.”
I understood what Alan was trying to say.
Alan must have known about the past.
“Nothing to worry about, do you think I would mind that?”
Before I became possessed, the relationship between the 2nd Prince and Morgan was one-sided.
I don’t know if it’s because of the check on the crown prince’s position, or if it’s just nature.
Morgan was persistently harassing and pressuring the 2 princes.
When I was very young, I was suppressed with violence, and when I was a little older, I was suppressed with language.
Through several public sparrings, the relationship between the top and the bottom was strengthened.
As a result, the 2nd prince couldn’t budge from Morgan.
The bureaucrats had seen this firsthand, so they concluded that I would not be able to stand up to Morgan.
“If it was scary in the first place, I would not have thought of such a construction.”
“That’s right.”
“Lowering!”
I turned my attention to the voice I heard from behind.
He was one of the soldiers of the Rothstein family.
“A message has arrived from Ireland.”
… … a message?
Hasn’t it been a day since you came here?
“It is a message that Lord Hones has come to Ireland for a meeting.”
* * *
The next day, I went straight back to Ireland.
It was to meet Hones, who came out of nowhere.
‘I thought you’d find me someday, but… … .’
Most of those who supported Hones were located near the capital or in the south-central part of the kingdom.
Not a few of these were in a position to benefit from the road that ran between the Rothsteins and the Illamis.
‘I actually said that officials came to Rothstein for negotiations.’
As a result, the Duke of Leon rejected all inquiries.
It was because of my order to refuse everything unless Hones moved directly.
‘Due to the situation, Honess has no choice but to open her hand to me.’
Naturally, I had no intention of killing him by drying up his forces.
Right now, I’ve only built a foundation to fight Morgan, but I’m not on an equal level.
Against Morgan, it was necessary to unite forces and contain them.
profit.
In the parlor, a blonde man, Honess Alexander, was sitting waiting for me.
It was impressive that the boyish look still remained on his face.
Behind Honess stood two men who gave off a straight impression.
“It’s been a while since I’ve seen you, bro.”
“Yeah, I’ve been outside all these days.”
Then, in silence, turn your gaze to the men standing behind the horns.
They opened their mouths as if they had been waiting.
“Nice to meet you, poor Cruz. I am the eldest son of the Vecklen family, Elder Vecklen.”
“My name is Borjen Rubes, the eldest son of the Rubes family. It’s an honor to meet you, my lord.”
It’s the first time I’ve seen it, but it was a family that both knew.
It was a place in the south-central part of the kingdom that could greatly benefit from this road connection.
“Nice to meet you, both of you please sit down instead of standing.”
“Thank you for your consideration, my dear.”
This made the purpose clear.
He must be asking for a concession for the road connection.
‘Well, actually, other than that, there’s no reason to come here like this.’
Dalgrak.
Hornes still drank tea leisurely despite my presence, with a strangely confident attitude.
It didn’t look like someone who had come to humble himself for a favor.
“Actually, I came to tell you a story.”
“Yes, talk.”
“It’s a story about my older brother.”
I didn’t show it, but I was a little surprised that he brought up Morgan’s story first.
You’re saying you’re going to throw something helpful before you say what you need.
‘I looked pretty stubborn when I spoke in front of the two ministers, but this kind of head is spinning.’
I smiled slightly and waited for Hones to speak.
“I heard Duke Adric of the Olsen family sent people to the Schurz and Tofsen families.”
Schurz and Topsen were count families located near the royal capital.
Its influence was quite strong, and these were places that could be damaged by the construction of this road.
‘I was paying attention.’
Although we are focusing on raising the foundation.
I was also paying attention to Morgan’s movements.
That’s why I couldn’t help but be surprised that he moved through my information network so easily.
‘It’s unavoidable, but… … .’
It is said that it has grown in power recently, but it has not taken place that much.
The only place that can be said to be firm is around the northwest of the kingdom.
This kind of problem was bound to arise because it was a hectic situation and a region lacking a focal point.
“Did you hear anything other than this?”
“I heard that Duke Adric visited Carlsberg territory.”
“That is bad news. I went, but I heard that Duke Adriq is currently secretly going around the central and eastern parts of the kingdom.”
In addition, Hones gave us small information about Morgan supporters.
Among them, there were also things that could be used for trading purposes.
It was information derived from the solidity accumulated over a long time in confrontation with Morgan.
This confused me a bit.
‘There’s too much taste information for a deal… … ? Or are you hiding a more obvious hand?’
At this point, I wondered what kind of hand he was hiding.
Why are you putting out so much information?
percussion.
After talking like that, Honess emptied the car and said.
“… … Roughly it seems to be about this. I thought it was not long, but as we talked, it became a little longer.”
“They were quite helpful.”
“Then let’s go, since I’ve said everything.”
“… … ?”
I stared at Hornes, doubting my ears.
But he got up from his seat with a calm expression.
Elder and Borjen, who were sitting next to me, looked up at Hones with even more bewildered expressions than me.
‘… … What is it, boy?’
