Episode 142
The emperor’s last name.
Where the winner of a gladiatorial contest receives a favor from the Great Emperor of Oyota.
The first thing I felt upon entering this room, the highest in the Colosseum, was
“… … What is it, Theta? “Why are you here?”
It was embarrassing.
Theta Malkyri.
Why are you here?
But Seta Malkiri smiled, rubbing the bridge of her nose as if she knew what I was talking about.
“Isn’t that what I want to ask? If you came to Oyota, you should have looked for me right away. “Why did you go to the gladiator competition again?”
“huh? That’s right… …
As I paused for a moment, Seta came over and hugged me.
“Anyway, nice to meet you! And thank you!
Ruin!”
“uh? Uh, yeah… …
Nice to meet you, but… … .
What do you mean by thankful?
At that time, an Oyota driver behind me spoke to me in an overbearing voice.
“Outlander gladiator ogre lord. “Hurry up and show the utmost respect to the great emperor.”
I took off Seta and saw a man standing behind Seta Malkiri, looking at me intently.
He bowed his head towards Emperor Tenzin Murtak.
“For the first time, I would like to offer my greetings to the great emperor. “My name is Ruin Ardel, a wizard from the Kingdom of Rhedian.”
“This guy!”
However, the Oyota warrior seemed to be displeased with my manners and had a twinkle in his eye.
“Have you seen such a rude guy! What kind of arrogant way to greet the Emperor! “Get down right now and hit your head on the floor!”
Whenever this happens, I always feel embarrassed.
Lie down flat and hit your head on the floor?
I said while looking at the warrior.
“It’s not me who’s rude, it’s you.”
“what?”
“I am not from Oyota. Yet, you are forcing Oyota’s etiquette on me. As a wizard of the Kingdom of Rhedian, if I hit my head on the floor here, it would be disrespectful to my kingdom and my king. “Do you know?”
“This, this, this guy… … !”
I looked away from the angry warrior and politely greeted Tenzin Murtak again.
“I ask the great emperor to accept my inadequate etiquette with great generosity.”
“••••••Mmm.”
The corner of Emperor Tenzin Murtak’s mouth twitched as he looked at me with an expressionless face.
Then, he laughed heartily as if he couldn’t bear it any longer.
“Um, mmhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha! Theta! “You were right!”
huh? What kind of situation is this?
Apparently, they talked about Seta and me.
Seta proudly puffed out his chest and spoke proudly.
“Yes? I told you, I’m not a weak guy at all. “He has the courage to fight in front of the Flame King Theron and the crown prince of the Lynark Empire.”
“If he were the crown prince of an empire, his arrogance would reach the sky… … . You showed your guts in front of that guy? Yong Ke also survived.”
“I guess the crown prince’s tastes are a bit unique. She really liked Ruin. Of course, I was rejected until the end.”
“Now that I see it, I can understand the prince’s feelings. He is a man that any monarch would covet. Hahahaha!”
To describe the crown prince of an empire as an ‘arrogant brat’… … .
Well, the Great Emperor of Oyota is also a word that refers to the strongest desert warrior.
This is probably not just bravado.
I guess it’s confidence with a reason.
By the way, the relationship between the two also seems unusual.
Because they seemed too close to be just a king and a subject.
Apparently, what Seta said about being greatly favored by the Emperor was all true.
“Then, since Ruin won, does the promise made by the Emperor earlier be fulfilled?”
“We’ll consider it, but I’m not sure if citizens will accept it. Ruin Ardel’s ‘No Murder’
“A gladiatorial contest might actually be interesting.”
“You may think it is foreign at first, but wasting greater talent through senseless killings is rather a waste of national power. Citizens will definitely adapt. Do you see it over there?”
Theta is the lowest point in the Colosseum.
He pointed to the amphitheater.
“All the slave gladiators who survived by Ruin are having fun.”
It was true.
The slave gladiators below felt awkward about the situation in which they were still alive.
On the one hand, I was breathing a sigh of relief.
Some people put their hands together and prayed in gratitude, while others shed tears as the gladiators hugged each other.
Expecting death, he fought until the end and survived.
Who can criticize them?
Those who were once ready to die will now be able to accomplish anything.
Like the name Esperanaza
It will be a ‘land of hope’ for the lowest.

“It will definitely get better. As the Emperor intended, gladiatorial competitions are a long-standing tradition that cannot disappear from Oyota… … . Even if you don’t have to risk your life. Even if someone doesn’t die. We will be able to create a gladiatorial competition that everyone in Esperanaza can enjoy.”
This was it.
The reason why Seta thanked me as soon as he saw me.
This bastard.
I thought he was an ignorant and indifferent guy, but I didn’t know he could have such a cool side.
no… … .
As it turns out, Seta was originally like this.
Even in the last great festival, he was the guy who thought of Oyota more than anyone else.
Tenzin Muratak, the Great Emperor of Oyota, also seemed to feel Seta’s sincerity.
“tomorrow. “Let’s gather citizen representatives.”
“thank you!”
Anyway, I’m glad that the story ended well.
Although I didn’t mean to, I’m glad that it helped Seta.
“It’s late to say congratulations. Congratulations on winning the gladiatorial contest. Ogre••••••. no. Ruin Ardel, the wizard of Radian.”
“thank you.”
but.
“Then, tell me what you want.”
There is still something left for me to receive here.
The winner of Oyota’s gladiator competitions is rich and famous.
You get both.
Become a desert warrior, occupy an important military position, and receive gold and land.
However, strangers are an exception.
Because if you’re not an Oyotan, you can’t be a desert warrior.
So what will you receive?
“This is the first time a stranger has ever won a gladiatorial contest… … . It’s a little embarrassing. “Then, tell me what you want.”
“There is only one thing I want.”
“What is that?”
“When the lowest grain of sand becomes the hot sun. “I want what the stranger promised to receive if he won the gladiatorial contest in Oyota.”
“… … As expected, I participated in the sword fighting competition because I wanted something. “But you got it wrong.”
” yes?”
“Because it is nothing more than a useless piece of slate. Because it is a sculpture made of a unique material whose identity is unknown, there was a time when it was treated as precious. But not now
yes. “There’s no place I can use it.”
“Then why did such a useless item become a reward for a gladiatorial contest?”
“The reason is simple. “Because the stone slabs depict runaway slaves and strangers.”
The Emperor, Tenzin Murtak, beckons.
The servant placed a piece of slate on a soft cushion and came inside.
What the Emperor said was true.
The picture drawn on the piece of stone slab was of people running away in a hurry, scared by something.
Of course, in my eyes, they didn’t look like slaves or strangers.
To the proud people of Oyota, they may be seen as ‘runaway slaves.’
“Can I touch it?”
“Sure.”
I didn’t worry about what I would do if it wasn’t what I was looking for.
Because I was instinctively convinced that this was the piece of relic I was looking for.
am.
I suppressed my trembling heart and lifted the piece of slate.
Then, a system window that only my eyes could see appeared.
《Mythical Quest》
《Relic fragment of Draka, World Destroyer
I)
*This quest requires a minimum strength of 10,000 or more.
*World Destroyer Draka is destroyed, and you must collect 4 scattered artifact fragments.
is.
* When you combine the pieces, Draka’s artifact is reborn.
《Quest Completion 1/4>
《As a reward, spiritual power, one of Draka’s five powers, will be unlocked.》
《Would you like to attribute the relic fragment?》
Spiritual power… … ?
What does this mean?
There was no time to worry.
This is because Emperor Tenzin Murtak spoke.
“It looks a little precious, but it’s just a useless piece. You have done something valuable, but you can’t give me such trash. what do you want? Do you want gold? Or do you want land? “I will give you everything you want.”
I answered hastily.
“I want this.”
“huh? one••••••”
“This is enough. “You don’t need anything else.”
The Emperor looked at me blankly.
His eyes narrowed.
Surely you don’t doubt me?
♦ * *
“So, how much did you get paid?”
“10,000 gold.”
“… … “It’s a lot.”
“They told me to take it till the end. knife
They say you can’t give a shabby gift to the winner of the competition… …
The Emperor did not doubt me.
Instead of being suspicious, he even put 10,000 gold in my hand as if he couldn’t tolerate it.
I thought about rejecting it, but I thought I would get more suspicious if I kept rejecting it, so I just accepted it.
Thanks to this, I feel like my pockets are going to burst.
The gold coins are overflowing.
Even if you stay still, money comes in.
Strang asked.
“So, did you find what you wanted?”
U 0 W huh.
I took out the piece of stone slab from my pocket.
A piece of stone tablet a little larger than the palm of one’s hand depicting people running away.
Seeing that, Strang narrowed his eyes.
“… … “It’s been a long time since I last saw you.”
It’s an expression that reminds me of old times.
I asked.
“Do you know what this is? “They say that if you attribute it, ‘spiritual power’ will be unlocked.”
“know. I know, but like I said, it’s too dangerous a force… …
“What? tell me.”
Strang sighed softly.
“… … It’s one of Draka’s five powers. Physical power, spiritual power, gravity, divine power, and divine power. “There are five things.”
The ‘Power of God’ that can be obtained by collecting five relic fragments.
This was called Draka’s ‘five powers’.
Each of the five types means ‘different forces’.
Physical power is my prize now that the power is increasing
womb.
It means infinite strength.
Strang explains that the powers after that can only be unlocked using artifact fragments.
“Gravity was explained before, right? It’s a downward pulling force. If you use this, it will be no problem to level a city. Hyeryeok means the power of wisdom. It’s related to your magical abilities. Divine power refers to the powerful power that can challenge the gods when all five relic pieces are collected.
“now. “What spiritual power do I have?”
“Spiritual power means invisible power. “It is the power to see through lies and break illusions, barriers, and covenants.”
See through fakes and break barriers and covenants.
That’s a bit confusing.
“Is this the same ability you had when you saw through Flame King Theron, who used reverse magic, at once?”
“It’s similar. But your strength is higher. “I can’t break the oath.”
“What does it mean to break an oath?
ji?”
“It means that any contract can be broken. for example… … . Kinggram is imprisoned in the Academy due to a pact with the wizard Frojan Ignit. “It means that you can destroy his oath and change him back to his original form.”
what.
Is that possible?
