Episode 286
EPILOGUE
【Just like that, the Demon King fell, and peace was restored to the world.】
It was an ending that can often be found in fairy tales and old folk tales of warriors.
but… … Will the world truly regain peace?
Without even thinking about such a question, Hubert snorted lightly.
‘It’s an unrealistic ending, fit for a children’s fairy tale.’
Although it was not the Demon Lord that was defeated, the current world best shows what happened after that.
Tap, tap, tap-.
As I move my gaze, leaving behind the sound of horses’ hooves, the main road of Endymion’s royal capital appears beyond the carriage window.
‘No, now we should call it the imperial capital.’
It’s been a year since we defeated the cultist who called himself Vlad Draculea and the foreigners who tried to invade the world from outside.
Despite being free from all threats, the world was still in chaos.
It has to be that way.
Because the memories of that time still remain vivid in the minds of people on the continent.
The sun and moon do not rise, day and night disappear… … .
The sky was only purple, and the story of a hero who went to the open sea to restore daily life with the rising sun and moon… … .
Hubert smiled slightly as he recalled his past about his youngest priest, Russell.
‘Not only that, but he is also the master of all dragons, right? Just looking at the story, he seems like a character straight out of a heroic tale among adventurers.’
Isn’t a life more like a novel than the protagonist of a novel?
Of course, the memory of that time was not the only reason why the world was still in chaos.
Although the demons and undead were destroyed at once by defeating the evil spirit that was trying to descend from the outside world, other problems remained.
‘The fall of the empire and refugees… … Even down to the nobles who surrendered.’
The war with spears and swords was over, but the battle to the death with pen nibs and ink remained.
A year was too short a time to solve such problems.
Of course, in the meantime, people continued to move forward.
The event you are attending today could be said to be one of those aspects.
It was then.
“Whoa, whoa—.”
The driver’s voice was heard calming the horse.
Dagdaukdak, hiiiiing-.
The moving carriage stops in place with a long sound.
“Im here.”
“Good job. “This is a tip.”
Hubert then handed two silver coins to the coachman who opened the door, then slowly moved his eyes.
I looked at my reflection in the carriage window and adjusted my clothes.
“Hmm.”
It was a completely different outfit from the well-ironed tailcoat and sloppy robe he usually wore.
It has to be that way.
Although he had been immersed in personal research for a while, today was a formal occasion.
After dressing appropriately and sending the carriage away, I turn around and the view of the huge building comes into clear view.
A luxurious building, all white, as if it were carved from marble.
It was a wedding hall.
It is also one of the five largest in the royal capital… … .
‘It’s because the name imperial capital has not yet been mentioned.’
Hubert laughed bitterly before continuing his thoughts and corrected his choice of words.
It was a kingdom until a year ago, but now that the empire has fallen, Endymion has become the only hegemony in name and reality on the continent.
The country’s system also changed from a monarchy to an imperial state.
As I went inside, I saw the guests who had arrived earlier chatting and scattered around the hallway of the hall.
They are taking advantage of the time before the ceremony begins to become friends with each other.
All famous faces.
Their faces reveal how great the protagonist of this ceremony is.
Hubert passed them while they were talking and headed straight to the groom’s waiting room.
I don’t know about others, but he was close to the groom and was one of the few people who could enter the groom’s waiting room.
smart-.
“Can I come in?”
I knocked and asked politely, and an answer came from inside.
“Please come in.”
When I opened the door, I saw a man big enough to fill the groom’s waiting room, wearing a groom’s tuxedo.
A tuxedo made by a craftsman stitch by stitch?
Perhaps because of the groom’s muscles, which were not only strong but also magnificent, the stitches looked as if they were screaming, giving him a bizarre appearance.
“… … .”
Hubert, who had forgotten what to say at the sight, paused, and Vermillion chuckled.
“Are you here? Priests. Even if it wasn’t, I was waiting to see when it would come.”
“uh… … hmm. yes.”
He, who was rarely taken aback by a sight he could not get used to no matter how many times he saw it, nodded his head appropriately.
As can be seen from the conversation between the two, the host of this wedding was none other than Vermilion.
“I never thought that my brother-in-law would get married before the priest.”

“It just happened to be like that.”
Vermillion scratched his head in embarrassment. Is his marriage partner the female knight commander of the Naze Alliance?
It was a relationship that was formed after he saved her and her knights during a battle with monsters.
“Shouldn’t priests also start getting married now?”
“I’m still a little more comfortable alone, but… … “First of all, there has to be a good person, right?”
“So, instead of just staying in your room and studying, you should go outside or exercise more vigorously.”
I am doing enough exercise and training for my health—Hubert, who was about to answer, quickly closed his mouth.
I wondered who would take this person who was crazy about exercise and muscles, but after meeting him once before, it seemed like he would be a better match than I thought since he also had a similar body type.
It was then.
“It’s the same for the priest and the youngest priest, but how are you feeling, Master?”
Vermillion suddenly changed the subject.
“If you are Master… … .”
“You seem quite happy these days as you often eat with the Lord of the Window Tower and drink until late at night. I was wondering if you might hear news from the Master before the priest.”
Just as he finished speaking and was about to smile, showing off his bright white teeth and gums, an angry answer was heard from outside the groom’s waiting room.
“joy. What kind of news is this? “This.”
“Master!”
It was Daria.
“You have to touch your palms to make a sound. If you’re that skilled… … “How did we come up with the idea of going to eat dessert together!”
She entered the groom’s waiting room with a grunting voice.
An old archmage who only had eyes for one woman his whole life. Naturally, since Hemingway had no dating experience, Daria felt frustrated by his behavior.
Maybe I can be like that too.
Hubert frowned at that thought, and it was right after that that someone’s voice came between the three of them.
“Oh my, I guess I was the last one.”
“Priests!”
“Priests!”
Hubert and Vermilion, who recognized the owner of the voice, reacted immediately, and Daria giggled and said to him who shyly entered the waiting room.
“The youngest one is the slowest on his feet. “He has such amazing magic skills, but what does he intend to use them for?”
“sorry. It was a little late as I was finishing the last work… … .”
“Last task?”
yes. After she nodded, Russell took out a pair of rings for Vermilion.
A ring shaped using platinum and decorated with red diamonds.
“It’s a wedding gift. execution.”
9th circle wizard.
It was a ring gifted by the only transcendent person existing in this era. It must not be an ordinary object that can feel a strange flow of magic power.
“Genga made by the priest himself.”
“yes. “It took some time to get the materials and craft the magic.”
“You received a precious gift. Thank you. however… … .”
Vermilion took the ring with careful hands and muttered with a puzzled expression.
“Can this fit on my finger?”
The ring, which was made in a normal size, didn’t seem like it would fit his thick fingers at all.
Russell responded to that question as if telling him not to worry.
“There will be no problem since there is a size adjustment spell.”
As I said, when I put it on my finger, the size of the ring increased.
“haha. This is it. I received this gift, but I don’t know what to do… … .”
“If you have a happy married life, that is enough.”
“haha.”
It was none other than Daria who changed the topic immediately after hearing the laughter that sounded like she was moved.
“So, you guy. How long are you going to keep Her Highness waiting?”
“You’re making me wait. I’m just putting it off a little because I’m busy with government affairs… … .”
“So, did you propose?”
“… … .”
Russell closed his mouth at the sound of Daria’s voice suddenly cutting off excuses that were not excuses.
“Eh. What a frustrating guy. No matter how busy you are with government affairs, don’t you think you can take the initiative and at least propose? How can men called wizards be so frustrating? “Tsk, tsk.”
Daria just pounded her chest, as if the sight of Russell reminded her of someone and made her heart explode.
.
.
It was about thirty minutes later that the ceremony began.
The officiant was Hemingway Melville, the owner of the Window Tower. The reason he was selected as the officiant was simple.
Endymion is the biggest adult in the magic world, and at the same time, she has a personality that is much more suitable for an officiant than Daria, who doesn’t know what to say.
“joy. If I can’t even take care of my own love life properly, what’s wrong with officiating for someone else? … .”
Of course, Daria, who was watching Hemingway officiating, grumbled like this with her arms crossed.
Russell was watching Vermilion’s wedding from the back of the guest room, a little distance away.
With someone hiding their face using a wide-brimmed hat.
“It’s Lord Vermilion’s wedding… … .”
Naturally, the woman’s identity was Hecate.
Even though he was busy with government affairs, he took advantage of the news about Vermilion’s wedding and came out for a while.
“After all, Lord Vermilion is getting married too. “My dear.”
Was it because I received a scolding rather than a scolding from my teacher, Daria? Today, I felt like I could feel a subtle encouragement from Hecate’s voice.
Meanwhile, the ceremony continues until the moment when the bouquet is thrown.
A pure white bouquet crosses the wedding hall, drawing a parabola.
“Uh, huh?”
“Hmm?”
Confused voices came out from among the guests who were waiting to grab the bouquet with him.
As expected, the bouquet flew toward the back of the ceremony hall in a much larger parabola than expected.
It was the result of the strength of a woman who rose to the position of knight commander, not an ordinary woman.
“… … !?”
Thanks to this, Hecate’s face was reflected in the pupil of Russell, who was confused after receiving the bouquet in a haphazard manner.
“My dear.”
Her face was smiling as brightly as a bride attending a ceremony.
─Complete.
Author’s words.
This is how the story of the wizard who swallowed the dragon, or ‘Dragonsamma’ for short, ended.
There were many things that happened in the process of serializing… … In some ways, I think it is a ending that is both refreshing and disappointing.
As readers may have noticed, Yongsamma is a post in which I tried many things to change my existing writing.
Not only is it my first fantasy, my first time writing a wizard… … We published about 50 more episodes than we had previously written.
The development of multiple female characters was also one of the stories I tried because I had never done it before.
There was a lot to learn during this process, but the reason I was disappointed was probably because I wasn’t able to fully draw the picture I had in my head.
In any case, Yongsamma’s story has come to an end, and I would like to thank all the readers who read until the end.
Currently, Yongsamma is planning a spin-off series of between half and one volume, but as of now, it is not possible to give a definitive answer on when the spin-off serialization will begin.
Perhaps only when another news about the ongoing use of Dragonsamma is confirmed will the plan for a spin-off series be revealed.
Well, I don’t know if it will be a spinoff or a new work, but I will try my best to come back in writing as soon as possible.
StoryTunes executives and staff who helped bring the wizard who swallowed the dragon to the world.
The person in charge who read the post.
Many other fellow writers who write together… … .
Lastly, I would like to thank all the readers once again for reading The Wizard Who Swallowed the Dragon, and I will take my leave.
I am sincerely grateful so far.
