“My descendants.”
“He passed the difficult test with flying colors.”
The first emperor looked truly happy.
Luid and Victoria looked at each other.
“Are you completely mistaken?”
“I don’t think we should come in.”
I think this would be a terrible thing to do to someone who died a thousand years ago. Because it was closer to a bug than a fair procedure. However, neither Victoria nor Luid said to stop leaving. Well, because I’m curious.
‘If you look at the 5th magic, I think it will give you something amazing. I hope it’s a good one.’
The emperor chuckled.
“There is no need to be so surprised.”
The emperor paused for a moment, as if giving himself time to marvel.
Unfortunately, neither Victoria nor Lloyd were surprised.
‘Is this cold reading?’
The act of understanding and predicting a person’s psychology. Probably, if it weren’t for someone like Ruid who could see through all the tricks here, he would have been astonished at this timing. But unfortunately, Ruid was one of the few wizards who could use the 5th magic.
“I am welcome. However, it is real. “What you are seeing is just my appearance in the 13th year of the imperial calendar.”
‘By the way, it looks real.’
The colors, air, and smells around you. Everything seems real. However, all that Ruid sees, hears and feels right now is 13 years of the imperial calendar. This is a space from about 938 years ago.
As a test, Ruid went in front of the emperor and waved his hand.
The emperor, smiling softly, penetrated without touching it.
A device that allows a glimpse into the past from the future –
even if you know it, it is amazing magic.
How would Delrin, a person from a thousand years ago, do something like this?
“Now that I think about it, the descendants probably never saw Delrin. That’s definitely disappointing. Delrin is very beautiful. This is my little gift, so accept it gratefully. Hey Delrin. “Do these people see you?”
The emperor looked into space and spoke. It was exactly where Victoria was standing.
“mama.”
“huh.”
Victoria nodded slightly and came forward.
Where Victoria was standing, an unfamiliar woman appeared.
‘This is Archmage Delrin.’
My thoughts on seeing the greatest wizard and historical figure who established most of the current magic theories…
“He’s surprisingly young.”
“Mama, is this your first time seeing Delrin?”
“okay. “Unlike other great people, Delrin did not leave any portraits.”
I was young. She was also quite a pretty girl. In some ways, she seemed like an ordinary girl.
He had blue hair that reached down to his waist and the same eyes as the Windsors.
It sparkled strangely, as if it had stars embedded in it, and if you saw it even once, it was an appearance that would remain in your memory for a long time.
He was wearing a white robe that matched his white skin, and a wizard hat on his head.
…Maybe because it was a thousand years ago, the wizard hat was a bit old-fashioned. If you wear a big witch hat like that in the current system, you will be ridiculed and called a fool.
“Maybe – you can see all the figures here. “If your descendants excel.”
Delrin’s voice was so calm that I didn’t think I could hear it even if the surroundings were a little noisy.
“The inside of the wall is a feature that only our house has, right?”
“…That’s right. “Blond hair and long eyes are the characteristics and only characteristics that all Windsors of all time have had.”
“no way.”
Luid’s eyes opened wide.
“Great-grandmother?”
“….”
Victoria was dumbfounded and was massaging Ruid’s cheek. Ruid looked ahead with one eye open.
“Etch.”
Delrin sneezed and sniffled.
“hmm? “Have you caught a cold?”
“no. I don’t know. Rather, keep going. Even with the help of the Dragon Heart, it takes a lot of magical energy to maintain this magic. I don’t know how strong your descendants will be, but it will soon reach its limit. ”
“Louis. Are you consuming magical power?”
“Yes, but it’s only as small as a rat’s tail.”
“Right.”
Victoria answered indifferently.
The emperor listened to Delrin’s advice and nodded seriously.
“I would like to give you a better compliment, but I guess I don’t have much time. “Let me get straight to the point.”
“The blue heart next to my corpse is something called a dragon heart.”
“I don’t know if there are still dragons there… but probably not. “This heart is the heart of the last remaining dragon.”
“This dragon’s heart has two effects.”
“First, if you put this heart in a corpse, you can bring the dead back to life.”
‘Wow… there were dragons in this world too.’
Ruid couldn’t take his eyes off Dragon Heart. But I wasn’t really surprised when I heard that I could raise the dead. It exists in similar objects in the original work, and above all, it is a symbol of fantasy. If it’s Dragon Heart, shouldn’t that be enough? The emperor continued speaking.
“Second, if you transplant this heart, you can obtain ‘eternal life.’ To be exact, you can secure a lifespan of approximately 10,000 years, not eternal life. “I guess that’s it.”
The emperor laughed mischievously.
“As it is a tomb left by the first emperor, many goods would have been expected, but unfortunately, this is all. But this one heart will be worth more than any other goods.”
“You are free to use it however you choose. I, who died a thousand years ago, cannot interfere. But please.”
There was earnestness in the emperor’s eyes. It was an intense energy that I had never felt from any other human being.

“I want to see if my empire was successful.”
“I am curious about the words of the nation that my colleagues and I dedicated our lives to founding.”
“A thousand years or so would be enough time to find out.”
“But at the same time, I’m scared.”
This time, he became a person who seemed infinitely weak. The emperor trembled as if he was genuinely afraid of it. He muttered while looking at his trembling hands.
“I think the system and structure that I thought was the best… might not have been the right answer.”
“So I command you. “Descendants.”
The emperor stood up and waved his hand.
“If this empire has achieved peace and prosperity, use your heart for its well-being.”
“If you think that what I have accomplished is not right even in the slightest, then with that heart, say, ‘Save me.’”
“The reason for saving me is simple. “If it is my mistake, I will correct it myself.”
“That’s all I have to say. “Descendants.”
‘You’re just telling me to live, right?’
Ruid, who was personally dissatisfied with the first emperor’s system, had no choice but to think that way.
How frustrated and angry have you been during this time? However, I thought it was amazing that he, an ordinary citizen of the Republic of Korea, established an empire and implemented various policies.
‘If it were me…’
Just thinking about it was so difficult and bothersome that I got goosebumps.
“So far. “More than this, the magic power of a ‘human’ cannot allow it.”
Delrin waved his magical hand in the air.
“that?”
“I forcibly disconnected it just in case.”
But nothing happened to Ruid.
“huh?”
“…It’s strange. Delrin, that guy just sprayed magic into the air. “No magic was used.”
Victoria raised the corners of her mouth.
“Isn’t this proof that Louis is a greater wizard than Delrin?”
“….”
That’s not it. Really, Delrin didn’t use any magic. I didn’t even try that.
In other words, it is a blatant lie to say that you tried to disconnect.
But then-
“Whew- it was hard to hold the weight. Delrin. How was it? Was he a bit like an emperor?”
“…!”
The emperor’s tone changed. Before, it still had the scent of a ruler, but now it was nowhere to be seen.
“…not really.”
“That’s not honest.”
The emperor sighed and laughed. I went to Delrin and stroked her head.
“More than that, Delrin. “You too must leave behind descendants.”
“….”
“Stop giving in now. I guess- I don’t think there’s much left.”
Delrin clenched his molars.
‘What do you mean there isn’t much left?’
There was a strange smell. Ruid narrowed his eyes.
“Well, it’s true that you have to act like that to conquer it. don’t worry. “I still say that I will not use ‘words of domination’ when I lay you on the bed.”
Victoria, who was watching the situation, said with a stern expression.
“The decree of domination is the power of the first emperor. According to oral tradition, it is said to be a powerful force that can bring even gods to their knees. Looking at the situation, it seems like Delrin is being ruled by the first emperor.”
‘…There are all kinds of scams like that.’
Luid’s eyes trembled.
That said, Delrin….
“I hope that you ‘will’ to be put under me. “That way, I think I’ll be satisfied.”
The emperor smiled sinisterly and rubbed the back of Delrin’s neck.
“It’s unpleasant, it’s the truth.”
Victoria looked at the Emperor with low-set eyes.
“It’s colder than usual? Oh, is it because you killed your favorite dragon? But, it’s your fault too, right? I said I would save my life if I opened my legs calmly. “You brought this on yourself, Delrin.”
Red blood flowed from the corner of Delrin’s mouth.
The Emperor held the Dragon Heart in his hand and laughed at Delrin for a long time. Soon he put the dragon heart in his arms and left this place.
“Wow.”
“Louis.”
Ruid covered his mouth, gagging. It was so dirty, it made me feel bad.
Delrin, who was left alone, spoke clearly.
“There is no way a descendant born with your measly talent could embody the fifth magic even for a moment. I’m overly self-conscious. “It is not your descendants who can come to this space.”
Delrin stroked his stomach.
“A blessed child who inherited his and my blood.”
Delrin raised his head. I looked exactly in the direction where Ruid and Victoria were.
As if he could see it, he approached without hesitation.
“The Duke of Windsor. “It’s you guys.”
At Delrin’s unexpected words, Ruid had a blank look in his eyes.
“Your House of Windsor would have established itself in the north, and the empire would have enjoyed peace and prosperity for a thousand years under Windsor’s protection. “It was all arranged by me.”
Ruid was beyond confused. I didn’t know. There was no mention of this in the original novel.
“I guess you thought it was harsh sometimes. Unlike the people of the empire under the warm sunlight, why do we have to suffer for endless hours in this cold place?”
Delrin looked sad. He whispered while caressing his stomach.
“Sorry. Because of my personal vendetta, I made this choice. If you can’t forgive me, then do so. Resent and hate as much as you want. But what if- if not.”
Delrin closed his eyes for a moment and opened them.
“The descendant of the blue dragon, and my descendant.”
“I ask you as your ancestor.”
Delrin spoke with strong disgust.
“Destroy the empire. Everything, not a single blade of grass left behind. Let the legacy of that foolish and dirty person be wiped out from this world without a trace. “The strength I have passed on to you will be more than enough.”
