Episode 216. Kill the Dragon.
A place higher than anywhere else in the tower. Of course, it cannot be called the summit, but it is still a high and magnificent palace of God that other apostles can absolutely reach.
‘Urtgard’
Empress Frigg, who protects the throne there, showed off her nobility and raised a glass full of wine.
“This is my last chance, Verdandi. “If you are with Ordin even now, I will spare your life.”
Verdandi, wrapped in vines, responded to her suggestion.
“You don’t have to save my life. “If I were to live in a world without my loved ones, I would go to hell with them.”
“There is no hell. There is no place called heaven. “When you die, it just disappears like this.”
“There is a way to the afterlife you say. “If you have a lot of resentment, there is a high chance that you will become Bae Hu-ryeong.”
“Wise Frigg, if you really care about Ordin, please guide him to a good path.”
Frigg slowly turned the wine glass and brought it to the tip of his nose, took a deep breath and asked softly.
“Good road? “What kind of path is that?”
“I’m talking about the path that God wanted.”
“So tell me exactly what it is. “I believe that my husband, Ordin, is following along the same lines.”
“If that were the case, would the dragons have stayed still? “I’m sure you were trying to help your husband build a path to the top of the tower.”
“Our problem with the dragons is not Ordin’s fault. “It’s because of Bor, the god of the beginning.”
Although Verdandi was exhausted from the arduous torture, he answered with a stern expression, unwilling to give up his argument.
“I guess it’s also Bor’s fault that the World Tree and the Tower don’t get along well?”
“Then how come Ordin, Bor’s child, doesn’t try to solve the problem first, and only aims for the top of the tower to gain power?”
“If he really wants to become the owner of the tower, I think he should fulfill his duties as a child.”
Frigg set his wine glass down hard on the desk, looking displeased.
“He has done enough so far. Do you know how many times this world has already been repeated?”
“… I do not know.”
“Forty-three, no, forty-four times in total including this world. “It took at least several thousand years for one history to repeat itself.”
“Wasn’t that also God’s will?”
“Yes, yes, it happened because the great God couldn’t make a decision for such a long time.”
The two stopped talking for a moment and looked at each other. Even if we didn’t use each other’s language, it was enough to express opinions.
Frigg and Verdandi had an outstanding talent for reading each other’s emotions, to the extent that they could read each other’s intentions with just their eyes.
Verdandi, who had been holding his head stiffly for a while, looked away and answered.
“Please stop here. “There will be no further negotiations, so either kill me or let me go.”
Frigg answered, shrugging his eyebrows.
“Your stubbornness and stubbornness are amazing. “The fact that you can say these things even at the risk of your life is truly worthy of Ordin raising both hands and coming to me.”
“Let’s take it as a compliment.”
“… “Do you know that your older sisters, Skult and Urt, are with him?”
Verdandi hesitated for a moment and then nodded slightly.
“Then I understand why they are with Ordin.”
“I heard it was God’s will. “Bor conveyed the coming future to Ordin through Sister Skult.”
“I heard that Sister Ort helped me reflect on the past so I could look back on it.”
“you’re right! Then why do you think the future and past were entrusted to Ordin? “I think it’s to hand over God’s place.”
As seconds passed, Verdandi’s lips slowly opened and a voice filled with laughter was heard.
“Do you really think so?”
“Or maybe God had other intentions.”
“I regret my past sins through Sister Ort. “I thought it gave me an opportunity to prepare for the future with my sister Schoolt.”
“So, Bor, it seems like you are also seeing the same path in history repeating itself through the hourglass, but a different flow.”
Frigg rested his chin with an interesting expression.
“That makes some sense. But now I’m in a situation where I can’t stand on the other side of Ordin.”
“I understand. So, I’m asking you to just kill me.”
“… That can’t be possible. You are the most powerful of the three sisters who can change the fate of the world. “He is the one who can control the ‘present.’”
Verdandi’s expression hardened at her answer.
“I am not as great as Frigg thinks.”
“Depending on the time of day, that may be the case. But in my eyes, among the three sisters, you have the greatest strength.”
“The past and the future are interrelated, so if one of them changes, a big problem will arise.”
Frigg came down from the throne, lightly patted Verdandi’s shoulder and continued speaking.
“If we change the present, which is the predetermined fate of this world, we can go outside the flow of causality without affecting the past and future.”
Verdandi moved his shoulder greatly and shook off her hand.
“Please tell this to Ordin. “No matter what method is used, I will not be with you.”
“Even if your husband dies?”
“He would already be dead. No, I have already heard that he is dead.”
“… “Then what about children?”
“child?”
“There is a very cool swordsman named Verdin in Strange. “You say you are his mother?”
“he is… .”
“If you choose well, I will help Verdin not to die in this tower in the future. Not only that, but it can also allow me to spend eternity with you.”
Verdandi’s eyes trembled greatly. However, she immediately rejected Frigg’s offer and closed her eyes tightly.
“No need. Verdin is probably walking his own path. “I would have chosen the right path.”
“is it so? From what I heard, Verdin seems to be going even further down the path than my husband.”
“… “Verdin?”
“Yes, soon Dean will be dead along with your other hidden child, Jean.”

“They are now being chased by all the apostles in the tower. “It’s hard to say because there isn’t just one reason, but-.”
Frigg raised his eyebrows with a meaningful smile.
“The fact remains that it is difficult to survive from them.”
“Berdandi, there was not a single lie in what I said. And what I can tell you now is that if you want to save Verdin, the only way is to be with Ordin.”
Frigg, who was watching Verdandi, gave a signal to the guard and quietly left.
Then, Verdandi, who was left alone in the throne room, looked at the ground and gave a small monologue. He spoke in a voice so loud that no one could hear it but himself.
“Lois… .”
What should I do now? I heard that you and my children are in danger. But there’s nothing I can do.
She resented herself for being helpless and unable to do anything even in this situation.
It was a fantasy I had never dreamed of since I was born. Perhaps this was a result of the parents’ feelings that they might lose their child.
‘I beg you, God, please don’t let these painful things happen again.’
For the first time in his life, Verdandi had a very small feeling of ‘hate’ engraved in his mind. And this commitment made a difference to where she was.
“I finally found it.”
With a playful voice filled with laughter, the space split apart and black smoke began to seep out.
At this, Verdandi was frightened by an energy he had never felt before and took a step back.
At the same time, Frigg and her guardian knights, who sensed an alien power, hurriedly returned to the throne room.
In their eyes, there was an apostle who had come to carry out God’s will in a throne room already filled with black smoke.
“Long time no see? Frigg.”
His name is Apostle Baphomet.
The one who wants to send Bor’s will to the top of the tower once again.
“Baphomet… !”
“I never thought you would hide Verdandi in a place like this.”
“Why are you in my castle?”
“You should answer that yourself. “It’s like you’ve been asking us questions and waiting for answers.”
The black smoke gradually began to disappear along with the sound of the wind blowing. This was not just Baphomet’s presence, but also Verdandi, whose power was in reach.
Frigg and the Guardian Knights tried to stop Baphomet, but by the time they reached the black smoke, the two had already headed to a place they could not reach.
Saint Mary Theresa was attacked by the Apostle Amon. This fact reached Tristan, one of the commanders of the imperial corps, through Cynthia’s mouth.
‘How should I do this?’
Tristan was worried.
‘We must help Cynthia and Theresia, who guided the Imperial Army and the Legion’s people safely to the royal capital.’
However, now, before the battle for succession to the throne begins, he is under the gaze of the princes and cannot make any moves.
If it is discovered that he not only brought a woman from the Beopwangcheong to the royal capital, but also assigned a doctor to protect her, everything could go wrong.
‘Even Verdin’s request to delay the succession battle as much as possible to prevent the tower from overflowing.’
Is there a way to treat her without the princes’ eyes?
In an urgent situation, Tristan was unable to provide an answer. However, there was no way to solve this problem.
“Is there anyone with Strange’s name in the capital right now?”
Tristan asked his adjutant cautiously.
“I understand that Lord Verdin’s brothers Tony, Johnny, and Ronnie are here.”
“Verdin’s brothers?”
“Yes, I don’t know for what reason, but they say he’s been hanging out with underworld associates.”
“… How can I contact you?”
“I may not be able to confirm the location. “We will be able to convey the message through merchants.”
Tristan thought for a moment, then took out a piece of paper and started writing something down.
Not long after, the letter containing his intentions was sealed with candle wax and delivered to his adjutant.
“Send this letter to Tony or Johnny or Ronnie. “It doesn’t matter to anyone else, just pass it on to Sir Verdin’s brother.”
