Episode 162 John! (One)
The hot summer sun rose.
tweet-.
The chirping of birds flowed into the room, adding vitality to it.
However, there was not a single trace of vitality on Elvis’ face inside.
‘How… … .’
His face was puffy, as if he hadn’t slept for several days.
The dark shadows under the eyes and cloudy eyes represented Elvis’ inner thoughts.
‘How did this happen?’
Elvis sat on the bed, screaming inwardly and holding his head.
Squeak-squeak-.
His one small movement made an old wooden bed break into pieces.
Elvis heard this and looked around the room.
A worn wooden floor that has become stained with age.
In addition, all the furniture in the room looked old.
At this, a heavy sigh flowed from Elvis’ mouth.
“under… Nonsense… … .”
When I first turned the hourglass and returned to the past.
I was relieved and happy that I had successfully returned.
But that joy didn’t last long.
His memory flashed back a few days.
* * *
Elvis, who had returned, stood up and looked at the unfamiliar ceiling.
“… “Where am I?”
The hourglass he used.
Even objects that could turn back time had their limits.
It would have been nice to turn back time to the point where the birth of the light dragon could be prevented, but this was impossible.
Therefore, Elvis went back in time as much as possible, and the point of return he calculated was before the family was swept away by the Gwangryong attack.
The attack of the light dragon had just begun and its aftermath was slowly reaching the Summer Continent.
‘Since the light dragon’s attack has not begun in earnest, the damage to the family can be reduced to a minimum!’
Elvis thought that was enough.
‘By that time… ‘It’s time for me to research mana accumulation theory in my family.’
Therefore, Elvis thought that the place where he would wake up would be somewhere within the family.
But, what?
When you open your eyes, you are greeted by an old, cobweb-covered ceiling.
It wasn’t just the ceiling that was old.
“What smell?!”
A musty smell came from the clothes, which had turned yellow with sweat.
Are you even wearing those clothes yourself?
Before returning, when she was living in the family, she had no memory of ever wearing clothes like this.
‘no way… Was the regression point calculated incorrectly?!’
If these were the days when people lost their families to the attack of a light dragon and wandered around the continent, it is understandable that they would be in such an environment.
In that case, I would have been grateful if I had just clothes to wear and a roof to shelter me from the rain.
“No way… “I guess my calculations were correct?”
While Elvis was confused, a sound came from outside the door.
Squeak-squeak-.
Jeopuk-Jeobbuk-.
The sound of old wooden boards twisting and footsteps.
Elvis’ face became sharp when he heard the sound of someone approaching.
A completely unexpected and unfamiliar environment.
In such a situation, mysterious footsteps approach.
Elvis raised his elemental power to prepare for any emergency.
At the same time, surprise appeared on his face.
‘… … ?!’
He was called a genius at a young age, and his attributes were built up with the full support of his family.
Although it was at a paltry level compared to his prime, the total amount of attribute power he possessed at the time was far superior to that of mages his age.
But, that attribute power… … .
‘Oh, there isn’t one?!’
I didn’t feel it at all.
At first, he thought he was mistaken because he was used to the enormous attribute power he had before returning, but no matter how many times he checked, he could not feel the attribute power in his body.
‘What happened to this?!’
While he was lost in the unexpected situation, the door suddenly opened.
The booming voice that came with him awakened Elvis’ spirit.
“The sun is in the sky! How long are you going to stay asleep!”
Elvis’ eyes widened when he saw the boy who opened the door and came in.
He muttered as if possessed.
“… Andrew?”
A young boy who appeared to be about fifteen years old appeared through the door.

How could I forget that face?
Elvis got up, ran to the boy, and hugged him.
“… Right, Andrew? yes?”
His younger brother died after being crushed by a collapsed ceiling when his family was swept away by an attack by Gwangryong.
Elvis was thrilled by the appearance of someone he thought he would never see again.
Andrew was actually horrified by his brother’s unexpected hug.
“W-what?! Come on? Disgusting?!”
“you… … ! Oh yeah… … .”
Elvis only came to his senses when his younger brother pushed him away.
‘but… For me, Andrew’s death may be in the past, but it hasn’t happened here yet.’
So it was natural for Andrew to react this way.
As a result, Elvis’ confusion deepened.
‘wait… If Andrew is alive now, does that mean the light dragon has not yet appeared on the Summer Continent?’
So what exactly happened to this situation?
A confused Elvis looked at Andrew with a straight face and shook him by the shoulder.
“What happened?”
“what?”
“Where am I? that… Why are your clothes… … ?”
Elvis’ eyes fell on Andrew’s clothes, which were as shabby as his own.
“What do you think about my clothes?”
“Uh, why are you and I dressed like this?”
“Why are you wearing it? “Then are you going to take it off?”
“why?”
“What are you saying, really? “Brother, where does it hurt?”
“No, I’m fine! Oh yeah. father! My father? “Where is your father now?”
“dad? “Dad, you went out to work in the fields early in the morning.”
“Ba, ba, field work?!”
Elvis blinked, not knowing what he had just heard.
He asked back urgently.
“Ji, did you say you’re working in the fields?”
“uh.”
“Field work? “The head of the Estevan family has gone out to work in the fields now?”
Andrew looked at Elvis’ question with a straight face.
“brother… Watch your mouth. “If you say Esteban’s ‘E’ in front of your father, you will be beaten with a stick that very day.”
“W-what is that?”
Andrew patted Elvis’ shoulder, who was covering his mouth in embarrassment.
“Brother, where does it really hurt? Just rest in the morning and come out around lunch. “It looks like it’s in very bad condition.”
“… … .”
“I’ll tell my father.”
“… … .”
“Then rest.”
After consoling his older brother, the younger brother left the room.
Elvis just stared blankly at that.
* * *
After finishing reminiscing, Elvis washed his face dry.
“under… … .”
On the day of his return, Elvis barely came to his senses and began gathering information.
He organized the information he had gathered in his head.
First, the regression occurred normally and his point-in-time calculation was not wrong.
Second, the Republic of Einpold does not currently exist, and instead the Kingdom of France, the predecessor of the Republic, still maintains its existence.
People don’t even know the name Einfault.
Third, his family, which was a member of the Einfold Republic, now only has a ‘surname’ left, and is living the life of a commoner rather than a nobleman.
Even the father was extremely reluctant to let his children mention the cursed name ‘Esteban’.
They say that if you show off your superficial noble blood, you will starve to death.
While gathering this information over several days, Elvis had to be treated like a crazy person.
And the facts gathered like that were enough to take Elvis’s soul away.
‘Nonsense… ‘It’s a dream.’
While he was in a daze and denying reality, the door opened.
Squeak-.
A boy came in with the sound of old hinges.
“what? “Are you still doing that?”
Elvis opened his mouth as he looked at his younger brother who was giving him a pitiful look.
“Andrew… … .”
“why?”
“I’m asking again just in case… really… “Did the light dragon really not appear?”
“This person still says such nonsense.”
“It’s not nonsense…” By now, Gwangryong will have devastated the Spring Continent… … .”
“No, how old are you, but you are still the dragon from a fairy tale! “Please come to your senses!”
“… … .”
“At that time, go out and plow one more row of fields!”
“that… ah… ha… … .”
Elvis was at a loss for words.
All of the information I had gathered over the past few days was incomprehensible, but this was the one I didn’t understand the most.
Gwangryong.
There are no rumors about the Light Dragon and the Spring Continent that can be heard anywhere on the Summer Continent by now.
Instead, he treated himself as crazy for mentioning Gwangryong.
This was true not only for his younger brother, but also for his parents and everyone in the village.
No one knew of the existence of Gwangryong, and the world was said to be peaceful.
For Elvis, it was crazy and jumping around.
‘Something is wrong with this!’
That too was very wrong.
No matter how much I denied it, everything around me told me that the current situation was reality.
Still, Elvis could not admit it.
‘If the light dragon hadn’t appeared… ‘Why did my colleagues have to sacrifice themselves?’
Also, what did you return for?
Elvis could not easily adapt to the current situation, which was so different from the situation he experienced before returning.
Therefore, verification was necessary.
‘okay… I have to see it with my own eyes. ‘Light Dragon and Spring Continent!’
After making that decision, Elvis stood up.
Andrew asked, looking at his brother who seemed to be about to go out.
“Where are you going?”
“Andrew, I’m leaving.”
“ok? “What do you mean?”
“I guess I’ll have to check. Did the light dragon really not appear? “Is the world peaceful?”
“… … .”
Andrew was speechless as he looked at his brother with a serious face.
Instead, he retreated to a secret visit.
Andrew, who had blocked the door, suddenly shouted.
“mom! dad! My brother is crazy! “They say you’re running away from home!”
His booming voice extends beyond the door.
“Elvis! “Is it you again!”
“Are you still out of your mind? “How many days has this been going on?”
Elvis became depressed at the loud noise coming from outside the door.
He looked blankly at the cobweb-covered ceiling and let out a deep sigh.
“ha… … .”
If I wanted to go to the Spring Continent to confirm the existence of the light dragon, I thought the first thing I had to do was get out of my house.
It won’t be easy, but… … .
* * *
A quiet mountain village at the foot of the Nokchi Mountains.
A change occurred in the sky above the quiet village.
Tsupot!
Lois and the twins suddenly appeared out of thin air.
The twins asked as they floated in the sky and looked at the scenery of the village spread out below.
“Roy, is that the town you were talking about?”
“It’s bigger than I thought?”
Lois also answered their questions with an amused expression.
“I know. It wasn’t like this before, but it has grown quite a bit.”
In the mountain village where Lia’s family was located, the number of households had increased significantly while she had not seen it.
If there were about 60 households before, there are now about 100 households.
It is a village where at least 200 people live together, with only 2 people per household.
In reality, there will probably be more people than that.
It wasn’t on a scale that could be found in a mountainous area like this.
‘I can’t believe that a village that was originally lost to an ogre attack has grown so much.’
Lois felt proud that the village that survived because of her was so prosperous.
While Lois was happy, Carney came next to her.
“Anyway, your disciples are there, right?”
“uh.”
“where are you? Let’s go quickly!”
“Why are you excited when I say I’m meeting my students?”
“Because we are Roy’s students!”
It was an incomprehensible answer, but Lois ignored it.
Instead, I led the twins and got off in front of Lia’s house.
Standing in the front yard, Lois looked around.
A familiar type of house.
And a small wooden building built next to it.
‘It’s still there.’
Lois sighed as she looked at the school she had built to teach her children.
After briefly appreciating it, Lois walked home.
‘Thank goodness it looks like it’s inside.’
Lois sensed a presence inside the house and quietly knocked on the door.
Thump-thump-.
A loud sound spreads out.
“… who are you?”
The door opened with a sound.
