Episode 101
“what?”
I glanced around with a questioning expression.
However, there was only the remains of the smashed statue, and there was no one to talk to.
It was the moment when he tilted his head and turned his gaze to inspect the sword again.
Sping!
A flash of light flashed in front of my eyes, and it made me feel dizzy.
In addition, a tremendous sense of exhaustion reigned throughout his body, and it felt as if something was pressing down on his shoulders.
I almost fell to my knees in an instant, but I managed to straighten my collapsing body.
“Ugh!”
When I put my hand on the altar, my vision was restored to some extent.
I ended up watching the scene where a black figure escaped from the sword and climbed up on his right hand.
‘It looked just like a magic sword, did it really contain some kind of evil spirit?’
The black energy gradually began to take away control of my body.
My wrists were already moving wildly.
Before I knew it, the sword was aimed at my neck.
It’s just that the only thing I can control is my forearm, so I couldn’t stab it.
‘What if it came up to my shoulder?’
I didn’t know if I would have to struggle with my right arm.
At that time, this sword would be able to pierce the throat.
chin!
Grabbing my squirming right arm with my left hand, I quickly scanned my surroundings.
However, only ancient texts were engraved on the altar, and no hints could be found.
The helpless time passed, and the black energy encroached on her shoulders before she knew it.
“Damn it!”
– Hee hee! finally… … . It is liberation at last!
The moment I heard an evil laugh in my head, the stopped swordplay started shooting at my throat.
But that was just then.
chuck!
The sword that flew as if it would pierce the body stopped abruptly.
Due to the terrifying anticipation, a stream of blood flowed from Mokwooldae.
But in the end, the sword did not move.
―Uh, why… … !
“Keuugh! Get out of my body!”
When I went to work with my eyes wide open, the energy that had risen to my shoulders rapidly shrank.
It was because the dark aura exploded from inside his body like a raging sword and pushed away the black energy.
Eventually, I regained control of my right arm and dropped the sword to the floor.
With Tang!
The huge aura that had been pressuring her whole body finally disappeared as if she had washed it.
“after…….”
I let out a long sigh, closed my eyes and sat down on the floor.
Because in that short moment, he suffered considerable internal injuries.
I had to turn the rotation to calm the seething aura.
Eventually, after meditating, I looked down at the sword, which was still enveloped in dark aura.
‘It was dangerous. If it wasn’t for Mahon, he would have died.’
To be honest, I wondered if there would be anything like a magic sword in a world where magic engineering trains run.
I just thought it looked amazing, but that was an obvious miscalculation.
No, actually, I just threw it away without doing any calculations.
“Anyway, I survived. But what about this?”
Even though it was a dangerous thing, I couldn’t leave something like a treasured sword behind.
In the first place, such an option did not even exist.
However, the gloomy voice from just now echoed in my mind.
– hehehehe! do not worry. As long as you become a contractor, Caliph will not be separated from you.
“Calife? I think I’ve heard of it somewhere…”
―Even if you smoke, it’s useless. You can never get away from me anyway.
“Where is it? Ah! Did you learn about it in history class? Eyy, you should have studied properly.”
-Hey! men and horses!
When I ignored it until the end, the evil voice abandoned its solemnity and shouted out loud.
I wandered around the altar, picking my ears.
I was wondering if there was a letter I could recognize.
-Can’t you hear this? Even if you’re deaf, your thoughts will be conveyed?
“Oh! I can read this. Come to think of it, you just recorded it in various characters?”
I found the imperial language in the corner of the altar.
Even then, the mysterious voice resonated strongly in my head.
But who am I?
‘I’m a master of listening with one ear and letting it out with the other.’
I was able to act calmly no matter what this guy was talking about.
If I did this, I would get tired of myself and leave on my own.
Sure enough, I could hear the guy’s low-key murmur.
—… … her! I’ve been around for hundreds of thousands of years, but I’m new to this idiot.
“Yes. Because I have a temper? So be quiet.”
-what? could you hear it?
“Yeah. Shut up.”
Ignoring the voice completely, I dusted off the altar and read the intaglio.
“Caliph of Troy”
Embracing disaster and sleeping here
“her!”
It was something that couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
No matter how much I didn’t study history, I couldn’t forget this name.
Troike was the first emperor of the Bertos Empire, and he was a figure who had a legendary career.
‘I remember now. Calipe was the name of the sword Troyk used.’
There are numerous references to the caliphate in all ancient texts.
But until now, the truth has never been revealed.
It was because Troike did not leave behind only the sword he used.
“I can roughly understand why.”

Judging from what has just happened, wouldn’t the answer come soon?
It was probably to seal the guy who tried to take my body away.
However, one question still remains.
The word Contractor was spoken by an evil voice.
“I didn’t even stamp it, so what kind of contract is it? Where is the contract signed just by picking up a sword?”
-Why not? Obviously, I wrote everything down before this.
“where?”
―That’s because you ignored me and came up. look that way
I narrowed my brows and looked under the altar.
Then, in the space where the treasure chest was, there was indeed a smashed tombstone.
It must have been broken while fighting the statues.
“Ha…. This is a complete scam. Hold the sword handle instead of Jijang? Does this make sense?”
-Think carefully. Surrender yourself to Me and you will gain supreme power. Not too bad conditions.
“You’re sick. You tried to kill me, do you think it’s all if you change your words?”
―That’s just close to catering… … .
“I don’t need it. Ay, I said it’s good.”
Took.
I kicked the caliph and tried to throw him into a common corner.
But isn’t the sword that was kicked and flying changed direction and came back?
Whiririk! chuck.
Then, it slowed down near me, and was sucked into the scabbard by itself.
Soon, a mocking, suspicious voice filled my head.
―You have already become Caliph’s contractor. Which means you can’t get out of my grasp.
“Wait a minute, you’ve been talking like you’re different from Calipe? Then what are you?”
– I mean hehehe! yes. In order to make a proper contract, you must know my existence.
“Don’t weigh yourself for nothing, hurry up…”
―I am Alkhheim, the lord of darkness and the dark side of the spirit realm, the spirit king of darkness.
“Five!”
I rounded my lips and let out a small exclamation.
Then, Alkhheim, who dwelled in the sword, burst into a frenzy with a sense of pride.
―Ha ha ha ha! I guess you’ve heard of the king’s reputation. Then can we proceed with the contract?
But soon the boy’s voice stopped.
“No, this is the first time I’ve heard of it. You can’t make a spirit contract with something you’ve never heard of before.”
– What, what?
“Where is the dark spirit in the world?
-What are you talking about? You don’t know the dark spirit?
“Because there are only 4 elements in spirits? That kind of bitterness doesn’t work.”
I went down from the altar waving my hands.
There was nothing more to see here.
Gotta get the treasure chest and leave.
―Hey, wait a minute!
Alkhheim’s voice continued to be heard, but I calmly moved on.

Meanwhile, around the time Ray Carter is exploring the secret tomb of the imperial family.
Franz and Ellington were caught in a sharp confrontation.
“Who the hell gave you this information? There’s no way Boris would have revealed it.”
“Ah, is that your brother’s source of information? Did you really think that no one knew what you heard from the market floor?”
“This is yellow…”
The 2nd prince tried to speak, but realized his mistake and bit his lip.
Although he was disguised as a Korean-American family, Boris’s father was actually an executive of the Imperial Intelligence Agency.
It was an existence that could not be uttered carelessly.
In particular, it was a word that should never be leaked to the static third prince.
“Do you hear such information from an imperial spy?”
Ellington persistently dug into Franz’s mistakes.
With just one letter, the situation was roughly inferred and quickly passed over.
However, because the direction was slightly off, the second prince was able to avoid being caught in psychological warfare.
“Where did I plant a spy in the imperial family? I heard rumors that you hold on to the ladies-in-waiting. There is no such thing as a horny person.”
“Why are you doing this?
“Can’t you tell just by looking around you?”
“Let’s not spread sophistry. If that’s the case, there’s only rubbish around you, brother.
“This rot!”
At Ellington’s provocation, Franz almost instantly poured out sword strikes.
However, he soon realized the situation and hurriedly balanced himself.
Wheein!

Just in time, the wind blew and shook both of their bodies.
Currently, the princes were standing on top of the northeast wall of Benderford, on a protruding iron structure.
There was only space to step on, so if you moved wrongly, you would fall.
to the ground several tens of meters below.
It was a dizzying situation just thinking about it, Ellington and Franz were only continuing their confrontation.
“Damn it, why the hell did you hide it in a place like this?”
“By the way. Quite bad taste.”
“Do you have any intention of conceding? I guess I’m closer.”
“If I were to ask, I have a much better advantage, right?
The third prince shrugged and looked behind him.
However, no matter how hard he tried, it was extremely difficult to resolve this sharp confrontation.
It was because the hidden treasure of the imperial family was hanging from the edge of this structure.
All of a sudden, the second prince found it first and entered the structure.
As the 3rd prince hurriedly followed, he was faced with this situation.
Wheein!
As the gale blew in again, Franz and Ellington quickly lowered their stance.
If I didn’t do this, I could have been blown away by the wind pressure.
“Ugh!”
Seeing that it was relatively affected by the wind, the second prince let out a low moan.
The third prince, who was watching the scene, said with a fishy smile.
“Stop giving up. I’m tired of talking all the time.”
“Heung! That can’t be the case. No matter what happens, the treasure of the imperial family is mine.”
“Then he goes to the goal.”
“Then you’ll have the stigma of assassinating your brother. Do you think His Majesty will raise you up as the crown prince?”
Ellington briefly clicked his tongue at Franz’s bitter objection.
Perhaps, if it were Emperor Reynolds, he would banish himself for killing his brother with dirty water.
“Tsk! You’re right, so I can’t argue with you.”
It was a troublesome situation in many ways, so the 3rd prince only muttered and smacked his appetite.
But just then
An incident occurred that shook the confrontation between the two.
Whoops!
I heard a roar from the ground, and I wonder if someone was jumping up from the edge of the wall structure.
“Oh! What kind of windfall is this?”
The man clung to the end of the iron pole and tilted his head.
Suddenly, an antique-shaped box appeared in front of me.
“Oh! What kind of windfall is this?”
He picked up the small box and smiled whitely.
The two princes, who were watching the absurd scene, screamed at the same time.
“No, why are you eating it?”
