Harold struggled for a moment.
I couldn’t ignore Ethan’s words here.
If you do, your relationship with the New York State will become strained.
Harold gave the knight a chin.
“Prize him in a dungeon for now.”
The soldiers who watched Ethan and Harold’s nerve battle were bewildered.
“Oh, I see.”
As the captives disappeared with the soldiers, Harold clicked his tongue in disapproval.
He warns Ethan.
“This time it goes like this, but there is no next time.”
Then he left the interrogation room.
In fact, I’ve never seen a decent guy for the next one.
Ethan ignored it and smiled instead.
‘As expected.’
In fact, Ethan knew Vivian would not heed the warning.
Rather, it was a warning to provoke Vivian.
Unsurprisingly, Vivian, who had been triggered by the Ogi, became more and more talkative about the Dark Followers.
However, due to their hasty move, their existence was exposed, and the Dark Followers framed them.
And Harold was completely deceived by this.
He believed there were other forces besides the Dark Followers seeking to overthrow the fledgling empire, and he took them on a massive scale.
‘I didn’t even know that my daughter was part of that group.’
Looking at the faces of the people who were dragged in, Vivian didn’t seem to have been caught.
It was then that Ethan was pensive.
“Priest Ethan!”
Someone ran towards Ethan.
Ethan recognized him immediately.
‘Have you already arrived in the Empire?’
It was Ben.
Ben climbed up to the top of his head in anger and walked boldly.
“Your Majesty is in the midst of death, what are you doing here? They are surrounded by those who threaten the Empire!”
On the way to this place, it seemed that he heard the situation.
Ethan said firmly.
“There is no evidence that they are the culprits yet.”
“under! Is there any other evidence? Having magical powers is proof of that!”
Ethan burst out laughing.
“According to that logic, even Her Majesty the Crown Princess is a threat to the Empire.”
“… That, that!”
Ben couldn’t resist.
What would happen to Cynthia’s position if it was concluded that all those with magical powers were evil?
That was then.
“Ethan is right.”
It was Jacob’s voice.
Rejoining Ben, Jacob and Knicks followed him to the interrogation room.
But it was quiet, and when Ethan was swept away, he left.
Jacob separated Ethan and Ben.
“Besides, Ethan is a saint candidate. It was only when I escaped from Nouvel that the situation was urgent, so I just let it go, but please treat me with respect from now on.”
Ben bit his lip in dismay.
Meanwhile, Nyx alone nodded in agreement.
“I also had a prejudice against those with magical powers, but this incident gave me an opportunity. You have to be careful that there are people who develop magical powers.”
Then Jacob said.
“Well, I understand what Priest Nyx didn’t know. It is a phenomenon that only happens in the Empire, and among the people of the Empire, only a handful of people know about it.”
“Nevertheless, it means that Ethan was not biased. It’s amazing.”
Nyx’s eyes twinkled with embarrassment.
Ethan stepped back with a tired face.
‘What else are you mistaken for?’
Ethan was just trying to get his plan in order.
The reason they were framed, called dregs, was because Ethan knew better than anyone else.
“Then I will help Ethan with his work! I also don’t want the Holy Tribunal to be abused. I’ll go to jail and ask people what’s going on!”
Nyx exited the interrogation chamber with enthusiasm.
Ethan didn’t even have time to dry it.
Meanwhile, Ben and Jacob were still growling at each other.
‘There is no other mess.’
Ethan clicked his tongue in annoyance.
But I had no intention of interfering with them.
Because I have a place to go right now.
* * *
-Your Majesty is in the midst of death. What are you doing here?
Ethan suddenly remembered what Ben had said.
he muttered to himself.
‘That’s why I came here to solve it.’
hey hey.
A high wind blew past Ethan’s hair.
Ethan’s gaze turned downward.
There was a panoramic view of the new empire’s capital, Velium.
Dean.
The paper rang.
It was such a loud noise that my ears were numb.
Ethan stood on the bell tower of the Temple of Pars, now built in Velium.
People passing by from below looked smaller than ants.
So no one paid attention to the tall bell tower.
“The prestige of the denomination is great.”
The bell tower of the temple was so high that it seemed to reach the sky.
It was a building built with the intention of conquering the Niilum Empire, which was a land of darkness, and to boast of the power of the Pars Church.
This temple was built after the end of the Anti-Ma War.
In other words, it was after Ethan’s death.
But Ethan had a reason to come here.
“Haha, now I can barely sense magic power.”
It was just to sense the magic.
Ethan remembered for a moment the days he struggled to make this board.
* * *
After coming to Velium, Ethan pondered how to detoxify Cynthia’s poison.
And what came to mind was the blood-eating demon sword, Velashtan.
‘Using that magic sword, I might be able to decipher it!’
It was a really ingenious idea.
Recalling this method, Ethan admired himself.
But there was a problem.
The Belashtan was the sword used by the Dark Knight during the Anti-Magic War.
Moreover, it was known that he disappeared after the battle with the Paladin.
Faced with difficulties, Ethan thought of one possibility as he tied his hair.
‘for a moment. The place they fought was in Velium, wasn’t it? Then Belashtan could be here!’
Ethan immediately came out of the Imperial Palace and pursued magical powers.
It was then that I stopped by the cemetery where the body of the Duchess was located.
But strangely, magical energy was detected all over the Velium.
It was unfortunate.
‘Are there so many hidden dark followers?’
He had such a question, but Ethan realized it with Vivian’s presence.
That there are people called the Remnants of the Empire all over the Velium.
Because of that, it was difficult to detect the magic.
‘Damn it. There is no easy way to go easily.’
In the end, Ethan came up with a trick.
There was no choice but to drive the distribution of magic power to one place or to hide the magic power as much as possible for those with magic power.
That is what motivated Vivian.
* * *
Ethan smiled contentedly as he remembered the hardships he had gone through.
‘Now there are no unnecessary obstacles.’
Then he closed his eyes and raised his senses as much as possible.
Magical power was felt on the side of the Imperial Palace, but these must have been the ones who were taken to the dungeon.
In addition, the magical response felt inside the Velium was significantly lower than the last time.
‘great. The operation worked.’
It was natural to catch people with magical powers like a mouse.
It didn’t matter if all the remnants of the empire were captured or not all hidden.
It was important to find a place where the magic response did not change at all compared to the last time.
‘Because that means that it is not human magic.’
And Ethan slowly opened his eyes.
There was a twinkle in his eyes.
“found.”
* * *
After a while, Ethan arrived at the outskirts of Velium.
It was a place far away from the center where the nobility mainly lived.
Therefore, it was an undeveloped area.
“Did this place still exist?”
Ethan muttered in surprise.
In front of him was a ruined temple.
But even though it was a ruin, it didn’t feel gloomy.
Ethan entered the temple.
The sun was streaming through the broken roof.
There was a small pond there, apparently made of rainwater from a hole in the roof.
Oddly enough, various flowers were blooming in the small pond.
Small butterflies fluttered over the flowers.
It was a ruined but strangely mysterious place.
Ethan looked around and soon realized why the temple had been neglected.
“The traces of the battle remain.”
A strange energy overflowed inside the temple.
Ethan tilted his head.
‘Isn’t it a little weird? It doesn’t seem like it’s an evil magic power, and it’s not even a divine divine power.’
It was an energy that was not biased in either direction.
But that rather convinced Ethan.
bum bum.
Ethan looked inside the temple full of flowers, and then headed to a place where no flowers had bloomed.
“This?”
Ethan’s eyes widened.
Some sword fragments were there.
‘no way.’
Ethan reached out and picked up a sword shard.
At that moment, Ethan’s left eye began to tingle.
“ね.”
Ethan’s dark eyes led Ethan back to the past.
* * *
A hundred years ago, who was Ethan most reluctant to be?
Among the many ill-fated ties with Ethan, there was one that stood out the most.
It was Saint Eileen.
She was the beginning of it all.
Before the kingdoms of the continent were united, the saint insisted on the unity of the heroes.
‘I understand everyone’s desire to promote their country’s honor. But now, regardless of nationality, we must unite against the Demon King!’
It was completely different from the usual heroic stories that started with a hero.
In this way, the journey of the Seven Heroes began with the saint.
The saint who received the oracle gathered heroes like that.
Therefore, most of the remaining six heroes respected and followed the saint.
So, they couldn’t see Ethan as good as they bump into the saint.
Besides, Ethan was the devil’s henchman.
Among the six heroes, the one who hated Ethan the most was the Paladin Radane.
If Saint Eileen was the spiritual support of the Seven Heroes, the Paladin Radane was the actual leader in battle.
Everyone respected him.
– Radane is handsome!
-right. Besides, you have a strong sense of justice!
– He was kind to ordinary soldiers too!
– And you don’t even flirt!
– Absolutely perfect!
He was, after all, an impeccable man.
When he saw Ethan, he wrinkled his face and muttered abusive language.
– It’s like a dirty demon king’s henchman.
It was a part that could tell how much Radane despised Ethan.
As he recalled that far, Ethan smirked.
It was like Nyx was like Laden.
He is young now, but if he matured a bit, he would have been able to become like Ladain.
And the reason why this story suddenly came up was because the paladin Ladain was standing right in front of Ethan.
“Even though it is just an illusion of the past.”
Even if Ethan muttered like this, Laden in front of him did not even recognize Ethan.
Ethan looked around.
Inside the temple, there was a sea of fire on all sides.
A huge building could be seen through a huge hole in the temple wall.
It was the imperial palace of the old empire.
This sight was familiar to Ethan’s eyes.
‘The last battle of the Anti-Magic War is in full swing.’
Wearing the armor of brilliance, Ladain was panting with her holy sword Akran on the floor.
Even during the fierce battle, the neat face of a paladin was not disturbed.
“Huh, huh!”
Meanwhile, on the other side, stood a man familiar with Ethan.
The owner of the blood-eating demon sword Velashtan.
A notorious knight who carried out numerous massacres while traveling around the continent.
It was the Dark Knight Keyhole.
He had a presence that no one would ever forget when he saw him.
“Wow!”
But even that keyhole was now severely damaged.
It was deeper than the wounds that Radeon had suffered.
The keyhole’s sword, Belashtan, was thrown out with its teeth missing.
At first glance, the scale of victory and defeat seemed tilted.
The two knights stared at each other.
Keyhole opened his mouth.
“Are you going to dump more?”
“… … .”
“Then all four soldiers in this area will have to die.”
Keyhole soon took Belashtan in his hand.
At that moment, a black light erupted from Belashtan.
Black light went to the corpses or wounded nearby and absorbed their blood.
Suddenly, something like black mist rose from Keyhole’s body.
Then, the deep cuts all over his body healed in an instant.
Keyhole smiled once and wiped the blood from his lips.
“damn.”
Radane clenched his teeth.
No matter how many times I saw it, it was an awkward sight.
If it goes like this, just as Keyhole warned, the soldiers around him would also be sacrificed.
Radane prayed while clutching the holy sword Akran.
“Great Pars, lead us to the light!”
Then, the holy light engulfed Laden’s surroundings.
Radein held the glowing holy sword in his hand and resisted the magic sword of the keyhole.
“Are you not giving up after all?”
Keyhole clicked his tongue and ran towards Ladain.
Black light and holy light collided with each other.

Quang!At the same time, the tangled light spread out in all directions.
Ethan’s vision was also obscured by the light.
Ethan frowned and raised his hand to cover his face.
The fragments of the past were there.
