A little old secret – 1 (This is the start of a paid serialization)
According to Neryl, the offense gave a small warning to Neryl who was trying to sneak up on him during the fight between me and Kyle.
He said:
“Anything to see?”
“what. go away. I’m busy right now.”
“You guys are too big. If you move out loud like that, Cald will find you.”
“I didn’t make a single sound. Besides, are you fighting like that?”
“One hundred percent. Even if you don’t know what it is, you better leave it to me.”
In the first place, Neryl did not know how to hide his presence, and Xenia was also a relatively weak field because he specialized in battles on the front.
The two of them consulted and quickly scribbled my message on a note and handed it over to Offense.
If all goes well, Lissel will come to you a little later at midnight.
“But can Lissel be able to sneak out? Kayle was very sensitive.”
It was a reasonable worry, but I leaned forward.
In fact, Lissel can disappear so much that I wonder if he was a super-special assassin rather than an elemental magician.
Before the return, neither me nor Kayle had missed her footing a couple of times.
‘Was that also using spirits?’
Well, anyway.
“It will be fine. Rather, it was a good decision to leave it to Offense. Good job.”
“yes. But if Offense hadn’t helped, would you really have found out?”
“If he said so, he would be right. Instead, I would have completely won the battle.”
I think that would have been an interesting picture as it is…
From a broad perspective, talking with Ressel is more important than such a trivial victory.
I check the time, it’s 11 o’clock.
Surely you told me to come at midnight, right?
“One hour left. It’s a bit of an ambiguous time.”
“It is. I can’t sleep, so what should I eat?”
“I didn’t know that there would be talk of eating there.”
Then Ardwin hurriedly rummaged through his bag.
Then he pulls out a small pocket of something.
“Then why don’t we play a card game?”
It was a game that was quite popular all over the continent.
Hey, This hue. hmm read rental boyfriend and ov if u not yet did
Me, Xenia, and Ardwin knew the rules.“Is this your first time seeing you?”
“Exactly exactly what I expected…”
“Jenia. Have you been annoyed since you said Grandma earlier?”
“Who did you notice?”
So, after explaining the rules to Neryl, we simply enjoyed the game.
For reference, there were a total of twelve rounds, and Neryl took first place in all of them.
“It’s a boring game.”
I don’t think you can beat sophistication.
smart.
A polite knock.
Xenia carefully opens the door.
Lissel was standing there.
The platinum-haired beauty rolled her eyes here and there as if she was a little dazed, and couldn’t come inside.
“Come on in. Mr. Richel.”
“Oh, no. there.”
She took a deep breath and then looked straight at us.
And he puts his hands on his waist.
Desperately making up ‘I’m mad.’
It is the scariest face she could make, who was always shy and unfamiliar even before her return.
‘I think I’m going to laugh because I’m so scared.’
[This guy. Excuse me.]
Russell said.
“everyone! When I went back to the inn, I had something like this in my pocket. This is what you sent!”
“yes. Didn’t you write your name down in the first place?”
“Why, why did you send this? I’m deceiving the party members.”
“·················ogue.”
“I am really mad. So I came to ask.”
“·················ogue.”
“Don’t ever do something like this again. Fuck!”
Neryl grabbed her by the neck and pulled her into the room.
Well done. neryl.
It wasn’t that big of a room, so when five people sat around it, it felt full.
Somehow, Lissel became surrounded by the four of us.
She trembled to the point of being pathetic and said,
“If you keep doing this, I get really angry. I will be angry.”
you can’t laugh you can’t laugh
I tried to make a serious expression on my face and said.
“Please sit down for a moment. I have something to tell you.”
“·················ogue.”
She glanced at me and draped her hips very slightly on the edge of the chair.
If you take off the chair, it looks like it will fall over.
“What do you mean?”
“As I wrote in the letter, Mr. Rissel is deceiving the party members, right?”
“no!”
“Then why did you come here?”
“You said it before. I’m here to protest.”
“·················ogue.”
“I am not deceiving anything. But if you ever tell my colleagues such rumors, I’m in trouble too. I’m here to warn you not to do that.”
I also don’t open my mouth easily.
I can’t.
I recalled the secret of Resell, which I had seen through the eyes of Jeon Ji-yeon.
The secret of a barefoot little girl who stole bread and ran away in worn out clothes.
But the secret itself is not important.
What was important was the time when the secret occurred.
It was an absurd assumption, but my intuition was screaming that it was true.
“Aren’t you lying about your age? To the party members.”
“Wow, what are you talking about? I didn’t.”
“Then how old are you?”
“Now I’m twenty-two.”
I shook my head.
And I asked in a stern tone on purpose.
“Twenty-two. Is that a lie?”
“yes?”
“There are more than that.”
“Eh, ah. no.”
Neryl asks in an interesting voice.
“Little boy. Age is just a number. Don’t be fooled.”
“Right. Even if I only see Neryl noona here…”
“You stay quiet. so? How deceived About five years old?”
I shook my head.
“About 1,500 years.”
“···································································································
“Not long ago, there was a soul that Ardwin was exhausted and could not find. I thought I couldn’t find it because my soul was destroyed by the Demon King of Destruction, but it wasn’t. He just didn’t die.”
There was only one animist in history.
And I thought Lissel was the second animist.
But that wasn’t it.
Everyone’s complexion changes.
But not as much as Richell’s face.
“·················ogue.”
Her lips were almost pale blue.
I said it over and over again.
“The hero of the Imperial Invitational Hero Party. An elemental magician and also known as the emperor’s companion.”
“·················ogue.”
“Magna Neros. It is an honor to meet you.”
Trail exclaimed in a ruthless tone as always.
[Magna Neros. You’re the spirit magician of the first hero party!]
‘Why are you surprised? As I looked at the time zone of the screen that I saw through the eyes of the battery.’
[Because everyone is so quiet. It feels like it’s time for someone to be surprised.]
The time on the screen indicated 1,500 years ago.
And the first animists appeared at that time.
It’s strange that Lissel can’t connect these two with Magna.
It’s just too far out of common sense.
‘By the way… is your real name Rissel? Is Magna a pseudonym?’
Anyway, Lissel’s eyes fluttered mercilessly.
It feels like the great earthquake that will happen in Tetra’s estate has occurred in her pupils first.
I said.
“First of all, we must not inform Cale of this meeting. In fact, I don’t even need to tell you.”
“All, you.”
“I’m so sorry I’m threatening, but if you tell Kayle, I’ll let everyone in your party know that you’re Magna Neros. Are you hiding it because you don’t like it?”
“·················ogue.”
“ruler. Then, one by one, the story…”
That was then.
Richell showed a very unusual reaction.
She puckered her mouth like a crucian carp and jumped up from her seat.
and cried like this
“I will go! Have a good night everyone!”
In the meantime, have a good night?
Before I even asked that question.
whistle.
“uh?”
Ardwin makes a stupid voice.
Russell is gone.
This disappearance is not a metaphorical expression.
Literally, he disappeared like a lie in front of the opponent with his eyes open.
Neryl abruptly stood up.
“Magic? No, no. If it’s magic, there’s no way I wouldn’t know.”
“·················ogue.”
“Mana didn’t even move. Maid, how the hell did this happen?”
It’s as if I’m sure I know the answer.
So was Xenia.
She opened her mouth in a cold sweat.
“Maybe it’s magic. Was Lissel actually an assassin?”
“no. It’s a completely different feeling from Offense’s Shadow Hex.”
“Then what is it? How can you disappear so completely with all of us in front of you?”
Actually I don’t know either.
‘Certainly, even before the return, there were many times that I missed the presence of Resell.’
It’s the first time I’ve seen a moment like this disappear before my eyes.
Let’s set this issue aside for now.
“Whatever it is, to disappear like lightning like that means that I have reached the pinnacle.”
“okay. I also wanted to ask Lissel and Magna Neros. What do you mean?”
“It literally means.”
Neryl shakes her head.
“Whew. Humans can’t live for 1,500 years. Do I have to say this with a sore mouth?”
“The average human life expectancy is 200 years.”
“It’s not 200 years. …are you telling me to listen now?”
“I heard you.”
“hey! I’m just living a long life with some news.”
This time, Xenia wiggles her eyebrows.
“Did you say that you listen to me?”
“I heard it.”
“stop it. There will be no end.”
Xenia looks at me.
“Anyway, I can see why Mr. Maid put such a speculation in his mouth. It is said that there are no spirits of Magna in the underworld, and there has not been a single animist in the 1,500 years since Magna.”
“·················ogue.”
“Now, rather than saying that a new elemental magician has come out, would you think that Magna himself is Ressel is the right thing to do? But connecting the two right away is too much of a leap of thought.”
In fact, from a common sense point of view, Jenia’s opinion is justified.
To explain this, I think I need to know the inner story.
Then Xenia carefully opened her mouth.
“I said .
“Thank you for trusting me. Still, I’d like to know for sure.”
“how?”
Instead of answering, I looked at Ardwin.
“yes? Me?”
“Grade Van Handman.”
“·················ogue.”
“Call his soul.”
The first warrior on this continent.
He is the one who killed the first demon king, the demon king of destruction.
In addition, he was also the first emperor who founded this empire. He is a famous yangban in many ways.
Neryl claps lightly.
“I see. If Lissel is really Magna, there is nothing more certain than being confirmed by the first hero.”
“Well.”
“Answering the call must mean that Lissel is Magna. Conversely, if you ignore what you are saying, it is not.”
“okay. There, I have a question for that friend. We have to find out how Rissel lived so long.”
“······ Are you familiar with the first heroine?”
Then Ardwin said.
“I know. I will start.”
Ardwin closed his eyes.
Soon his sleeves flapped and his spells began to glow white.
We waited quietly with half excitement and half nervousness.
Then Ardwin opened his eyes.
no. It wasn’t Ardwin.
“Okay.”
The yangban who stretched out as if he had slept well is the first emperor and hero, Grade Van Handman.
Obviously, the body that Grade descended from was Ardwin, but a rumbling sound could be heard from that small body.
“After all, the taste of air is different from the underworld. It’s so boring there.”
“·················ogue.”
“Hey. you.”
“Me?”
“okay. You are the one who lied to say that you were a hero.”
Grade beckons me.
I straightened my posture and said.
“This is Made Mohan. By the way, I have never been lying.”
“Huh. Be grateful that I am setting myself up for a time when I was a warrior. If it was a time when you reigned as an emperor, you are already dead for that answer.”
“Why?”
“Because I said it was a lie. But if you deny it, wouldn’t I be wrong?”
He crossed his arms and spoke softly.
“The emperor cannot make mistakes.”
“There is also a record in Bissa that the first emperor was quite crazy and arrogant. The imperial family seems to be arguing that no, but in fact, that was the correct answer.”
Even though they are the same warrior, their personality is completely different from that of the 2nd generation Lephia.
In fact, Lephia was a commoner, and although Grade was a position he later stepped up to, he was still an emperor.
In terms of etiquette, I wondered if the roles of the two had changed.
Grade scratched his head and ate his mouth.
“Zeep. I’m too honest.”
“Anyway, you called me a while ago. Do you have anything you would like to say?”
“okay. I heard the necromancer here, but you’re trying to trick Lissel into something?”
“Thousands of words. I just want to ask for your cooperation.”
“Don’t even ask for help. It is better for him not to interfere with the affairs of the world anymore.”
I tilted my head at Grade’s sweet words.
But you can’t just get out of here.
“I’m sorry, but from my point of view, that’s not possible.”
“·················ogue.”
“But I promise you one thing. I will treat Mr. Rissel as a colleague as you did. Because I am good at that.”
Then everyone, including Neryl, drew small arcs around their lips.
Grade glanced over the faces of those fellows for a moment, then grinned.
“Still, you seem to have gained quite a bit of popularity.”
