Episode 93
It is not known when or by whom it was created, but it is generally assumed that it was a popular fairy tale book in ancient times.
I looked into the book with my eyes open, but I couldn’t find any magical power above a certain level.
‘It’s so faint that it seems strangely weak.’
It would not be an exaggeration to say that everything in this world was made of magic. Magic was evenly distributed in the atmosphere, and the concentration of magic varied slightly depending on the region.
However, the
‘I don’t see anything particularly strange.’
I was due to return to Hebron tomorrow. I had no more books to read, and the royal court did not permit me to read any more. I decided to borrow four books that I thought might be related to the Trickster and take them to Hebron.
‘Can something that is not visible with the eyes be seen with the three-wheeled camera?’
It was something I tried with a hopeful mind. The moment I opened my third eye and looked at the
‘Ash? No, is it magic?’
I wondered where the diminished magical power had gone, and it was blooming like azaleas. They were swaying and forming shapes, and it was the same ancient language as written in the
‘Is this information something I can only access by killing Medusia and awakening the Three Ring Eyes? This was also the Trickster’s arrangement!’
I calmed my surprised mind and read the words that appeared before my eyes. Ancient languages were not made up of clear sentences like modern languages.
Since it was a combination of symbolic words, it was up to the reader to interpret it into sentences.
– In the beginning, there was chaos. The Trickster managed the chaos of chaos and disorder. The God Elliot built the world on chaos. The Trickster also helped the God to prevent the world from falling into chaos. Since the nature of the world was chaos, death was a natural consequence. In order to prevent the collision of chaos and the world, life had to end in death. The God created many gods to rule the world. The created gods shared the God’s power. They combined their power to seal the God and the Trickster. For the time being, the rule of the gods will be successful. However, the world built on chaos must be reduced to death. Stagnant power without circulation will explode. If you find signs of chaos, destroy the fake gods and welcome the God and Chaos.
I wondered what I was reading just now.
I have read countless ancient books, but there is no mention of the Lord Elliot and the Trickster who managed the chaos of the beginning. Such stories are not even told by word of mouth. They seem to have been completely erased over the eons. By the gods.
The sign of chaos seemed to refer to the brand on the monster’s forehead. It would become increasingly intense. The only way to resolve this rift was to ‘destroy the gods.’
There was no content about Eliot and the Trickster directly coming forward to destroy the gods. The Book of Wishes ordered those who read it to ‘destroy the false gods.’
dump!
As the three-wheeled eye was released, the strength left my lower body. I sat down and stared blankly into space. The letters that had appeared before my eyes disappeared, but I could vividly restore them and read them whenever I wanted.
Ancient language was floating before my eyes.
“Are you okay?”
The Constant Librarian supported me.
I nodded.
Beads of sweat fell from my chin and hair, soaking the marble floor.
I could barely open my mouth, feeling extremely thirsty.
“… … I figured it out.”
* * *
He recited to the king the passage he had found in the
He was a shadowy man. He kept his place silently without even rolling his eyes.
“… … Is that true?”
“How could I lie before the sun of Zeno?”
“The Count of Hebron is a loyal subject, Your Majesty.”
The king gestured as Gaius intervened.
It meant to tell me not to come out.
King Zeno asked me.
“Destroy the gods? Is that possible, Viscount Hebron?”
“I don’t know. I was just telling you what I found in the book.”
“According to the Royal Librarian of Constant, only the Viscount Hebron can see those letters?”
“Yes. These are letters that can only be seen when the Samryunan is open.”
It was a statement without evidence. Even if I were the king, I would have been suspicious. Furthermore, ‘Viscount Louis de Hebron’ was a man who had been a baron until recently and had suddenly been promoted.
“I heard that the three-wheeled eye is a symbol of Brecha, the god of truth. Isn’t Brecha a god that must be destroyed?”
“This trident was created after the hunt for Medusia. Medusia is believed to be the daughter of the Trickster.”
“Are you asking me to believe that ridiculous story?”
“I am sorry, Your Majesty.”
I was equally frustrated. Because the trickster had left a message using the trident, I couldn’t even prove this fact to others.
The emergence of Samryunan has at least increased the credibility of my words.
‘Is this all I have to do?’
The chaos caused by the sealing of the Trickster and the Gods would not stop. Not knowing how to destroy the gods, all I could do was increase my military power to stop the branded monsters.
“Haryan’s oracle has given a prophecy. He says there is a way to stop this chaos.”
Haryan must have been in a bad mood, too. I secretly hoped Haryan’s method was perfect. If there was a way to end this chaos, Hebron would only have to dream of a bright future and develop.
But I didn’t think the trickster had left such a grim message out of spite and mischief. Even if his words were false, I had to prepare for the possible end.
“I do not know the nature of this situation. The interpretation of the
I straightened my posture to show my determination.
“If the contents of the
Whatever the king decides, I will return to Hebron and raise an army. I will teach everyone the art of martial arts and training magicians and spiritists. I am determined to create an environment where at least one more person can survive.
“Victor Louis de Hebron.”
“I will serve Zeno.”
“I heard you have a way to cure me.”
I glanced at Gaius. He nodded. It meant that I should tell him everything. But I couldn’t shake Hebron’s future with a slip of the tongue. There had to be an escape route.
“It’s just an ancient aura massage therapy to relieve your fatigue.”
“Tell the truth.”
Gaius seemed to have told the king that he could cure him. That was not true. The truth was much colder than that.
I thought of Zeno’s future. I thought of the eldest or second son who would succeed King Zeno after his death. They were Gaius’s older brothers. They were better than Gaius, and they received harsh education from birth. They were raised to be the next king.
‘But it’s not enough.’
There was something that even those who were called geniuses could not dare to surpass. That was ‘experience’. Since I had lived as a genius, I knew this fact better than anyone else.

‘The king must be kept alive. Only by keeping his breath can Zeno’s chaos be contained and Hebron’s stability be maintained.’
“… … Your Majesty, it will be difficult for you to last more than half a year.”
A cold current pressed down on me.
Even without using the magic eye, it was easy to tell that it had come from the escort knight.
“What if you cure me?”
“Before I give you the answer, may I inject your aura into your body?”
“Inject aura?”
“It is the secret art of the ancient legislators, Your Majesty.”
The escort knight took a half step forward. That alone took my breath away.
‘Xenon’s sword was separate.’
It was an intimidating feeling that rivaled that of the Duke of Breyo.
As the King beckoned, the unprecedented pressure that had been weighing on me disappeared.
I approached the king and examined his body with my eyes. I examined the flow of aura flowing along the Aura Road and injected a little aura into him. The king flinched, and the knight guard did not take his eyes off me.
If anything went wrong, he was ready to cut me down with a single stroke of a sword.
“I will open the Samryunan, Your Majesty.”
“I permit it.”
As my forehead opened, I faced the truth. I had glanced at it before, but after a thorough examination, I could clearly see the King’s condition.
“… … Please stop the priest’s treatment.”
When the king was young, divine power and mana were his strength, but now they were poison. The king’s condition was similar to my previous life. I swallowed the great energy of the dragon’s breath all at once and became sick, but the king suffered from being exposed to strong energy throughout his life.
Although the process was different, the results could be seen as the same.
“Can you save me?”
“If Your Majesty is willing to endure the pain, you can endure five years, and there is a slim chance of a complete recovery. If you choose a painless method, I can guarantee you two years.”
“When I hear you say that, it seems like it is a pain that is hard to bear. But Hebron, you little child.”
The king’s upper body tilted.
Even that small movement seemed to cause him pain. His reptilian-yellow eyes stared at me.
“I will serve Zeno.”
“This throne is a place of suffering. I have not slept peacefully since I sat on this chair.”
“You must also remove the throne.”
The escort knight pulled out his spirits again. He was something I couldn’t handle.
‘If there was just one article like that, I wouldn’t have to worry about branded monsters.’
The king snapped his fingers to dissuade his knights.
As the pressure lifted, I found it much easier to breathe.
The king turned his head and looked at Gaius.
“Gaius, my son.”
“majesty!”
Gaius’s voice trembled as he prostrated himself. He looked moved.
“Give the teleportation bracelet to the Count of Hebron.”
“Ha, hao na, this is the royal treasure.”
“I’ll send you with me. You can take care of the bracelet, right?”
“I will obey your command, Your Majesty!”
Gaius smiled brightly like a child who had received the gift he wanted on his seventh birthday.
He was a simple man, so he was completely exploited by the king.
The king said to me.
“The conversation we shared must not be leaked to anyone. If you tell your family, I will cut off their heads. I will let you live until the end, but everyone else will die. Do you accept that?”
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
As soon as my answer fell, a light burst from the throne and engulfed me.
‘shit!’
King Zenon signed a ‘contract of magic’ with me through magic engraved on his throne.
