Episode 238. Cogwheel.
Clocks are very complicated.
Even if just one of the many, many gears inside it is out of alignment, it will not function properly.
If you cannot quickly find out which part is broken, and if you leave the broken part as is without fixing it.
It shows a completely different time to the point where you think it would have been better without a clock.
‘Where did it go wrong?’
Bergin was deep in thought.
1 second, 1 minute, 1 hour.
He thought that he had been living through the wrong time, as if he had been following a broken clock.
The causal cycle you created was fast when you thought it was slow, or it was slow when you thought it was fast.
Or there were times when I thought the process was right, but the results were wrong.
‘Could it be that the chart of history is wrong?’
So where is the time in this world fixed? And what was the part that made the diagram wrong?
Bergin held his head with a painful expression.
“Baphomet, I think we need to turn back time a little. If this continues, even if I reach the top of the tower, I will not be able to become your master.”
Baphomet noticed him and answered cautiously.
“I want to do that too, but… . “The Red Dragon took a different path from us.”
“Is there any way to change Howl’s mind again?”
“Let me try. However, I don’t think we can guarantee the results.”
Bergin sighed heavily and wrote the word ‘dragon’ in the air with his fingertips.
“I don’t know why the dragons made that decision. “If I just kill Verdandi, this world will have the peace they and I want.”
“Perhaps they also changed their minds during the hourglass cycle.”
“I don’t know that either. However, it seems clear that we want to leave humanity on this continent.”
“Don’t dragons hate humans?”
“It was the same for Bor. But now haven’t you rejected the destruction of humanity?”
Bergin had no answer.
Baphomet shrugged his eyebrows as if he noticed something, and then repeated the same question in a low tone.
In a slightly different way from the previous conversation.
“Is it possible that Master Vergin wanted the destruction of humanity?”
“Is that so? I thought not. Earlier, when talking to Verdin about the continuation of humanity, he spoke positively… .”
“yes. Because we have to say that in front of Dean so we can become one. Otherwise, he said that because it was obvious that he would reject it.”
“Are you saying you lied?”
“No, it’s not a lie. “I just said that we have similar thoughts about the continuation of humanity.”
Bergin continued speaking, looking uncomfortable.
“why? “You don’t like my answer.”
“no. “I like Bergin’s flexible response rather than stubborn dialogue.”
“Thank you for saying that. “I didn’t mean to deceive you, so don’t misunderstand.”
“Of course, of course.”
Baphomet clicked his tongue and slowly drew a space, pointing to the battle within the royal capital visible within it.
“Anyway, what should they do? “Now that Verdandi is gone, we can’t leave them alone.”
“… “Where is Dean now?”
“It’s in the royal capital. “It seemed like he was with Prince Loki, who was said to be the next emperor.”
“With Loki?”
“Yes, it seems like Ordin is trying to place Vileist on the throne. “Verdin saw this and did not sit still.”
“I guess so. “It must be his plan to bring the emperor Bae Hu-ryeong.”
“Did you know?”
“Yes, I had a vague guess, but I pretended not to know. “Because I also have the same goal as him.”
After finishing the conversation, Bergin asked, looking blankly at the royal road visible in space.
“It’s in the Legion.”
“Why are you there again?”
“It looks like they are trying to kill the remnants of Verdin. “It wasn’t as easy as I thought, so I was struggling.”
“As far as I know, there’s no one other than Verdin who can stop him?”
From here, Baphomet realized Vergin’s limitations. If the person who sets the causal law does not know about this. He said it would be better to stick to Verdin’s side rather than this wizard he was serving.
However, he did not plan to leave Bergin or abandon him. I just think about how to avoid this situation and what to do in the future.
“I thought so too, but there is one person who can stop Ordin.”
“Brunhild.”
“Brunhild?”
“… Yes, the first wizard on the continent I mentioned last time. “He is a unique person who lives in the human world with demonic blood.”
“Know. But I don’t know how she plans to stop Ordin. Now that she has reclaimed her body that was trapped in her hourglass, her contract with Verdin has already ended.”
“Isn’t it because of loyalty? “But she went with me for a while.”
“Dara gave up her life because of loyalty. “It doesn’t make sense to me.”
“So do i. However, there are cases like that in humans. “These are people who move for like-minded people even if they suffer losses.”
Bergin shrugged his shoulders.
“She’s not human.”
“It’s not human, but it’s close.”
“Is this a story about demons turning into humans?”
“I think I can’t deny it because that’s what’s happening to me too.”
“… That’s funny, then let’s do it this way. Anyway, Din promised to open the way to the top of the tower, so I will head to the royal capital to prevent Ordin from interfering with the plan.”

“You must determine the location of Frigg, Ordin’s wife, who is wandering in the upper levels of the tower, and prevent her from intervening in this matter.”
The rebels gathered around Beleist rushed toward the palace, waving the Ancient Chimera flag loudly.
Currently, there was no one in the royal capital who could stop them as they raced through the darkness.
Adventurers who have walked a long way to pursue their dreams, residents who have lived here their entire lives, and gangsters who are famous for putting in a bit of effort in their respective areas.
Everyone just held their breath and watched them.
‘Who will be the winner of this fight?’
The people wanted Prince Loki, who was known to be wise and wise, to subdue the rebels.
The only rumors they heard about Belayst were stories of his violent personality and vicious actions.
‘Maybe this is why.’
This is why those who came out of the underground city also regarded Belayst as their enemy, not Loki, who had targeted them.
‘There is clearly someone’s plot or a misunderstanding that caused the relationship between the above and below ground to become strained.’
With this in mind, Veratir followed Verdin’s instructions and placed his entire army on standby near the palace.
“Then we just have to deal with the guy named Karol instead of Belayst?”
Verdin answered, taking off his cloak and holding out golden armor with Strange’s symbol engraved on it.
“Yes, I will also join you in this operation.”
“Where is that guy named Carol?”
“Soon we will reach the bridge that crosses the capital from the lower part of the river to the central part.”
“leg? “Are you talking about that big bridge covered in vines?”
“you’re right. Our operation is to block Karol from the other side when he comes over there.”
“You’re blocking me? You said earlier that you had to slit Carol’s head. To do that, it would be better to lie in wait and make a surprise attack.”
“There are too many enemies for that. It doesn’t matter if you succeed, but if you make a mistake and lose him. “It would be impossible to find him in such a large area.”
Veratir answered, digging his nostrils with his thick fingers.
“Are you saying we should go safely even in this situation?”
“It’s not about being safe, it’s about being sure. “If only Karol disappears, Vileist’s army will not be able to reach the palace.”
“I understand your intention, but there won’t be enough time to get to the bridge below the river from here now, right?”
“no. “If the advance team goes first and takes their time, there will be enough time for the second team to arrive.”
“Advance team?”
“Yes, they already sent it to the bridge.”
“Who is that?”
Verdin answered, sweeping the Strange symbol engraved on his chest.
“Tony, Johnny. “They are my brothers.”
“You sent those two? “Johnny can’t even walk properly.”
“It doesn’t matter. “Our Strange is always ready to fight, regardless of his physical condition.”
“Ha, I don’t understand you. “I always think about you, you are like a fighting people, born to fight and die.”
“I will take it as a compliment.”
“That’s not a compliment, you bastard.”
“Then I hear it as gossip.”
“… “You’re playing with me so much.”
Veratir smiled brightly and asked, putting the cloak that Verdin had dropped around his neck.
“Today we all become Strange, right?”
“Yes, we will take responsibility for any problems that arise from this.”
“The students of Ruines Academy who followed me here must never be harmed.”
“And we must not forget our promise to restore Ruines Academy to its original state when this is over.”
“Don’t worry about him. “Philip has already started restoration work.”
“You mean that general who came to kill us?”
“I am no longer a general. “At that time, I only briefly followed Albus’ orders and moved.”
“… “That unlucky bastard needs to get a kick out of it too.”
“Once this is all over, I’ll ask you to go get a smack.”
The two looked at each other, smiled brightly, then got on their horses and headed to the south of the royal capital.
The 4th Prince Carol headed to the palace with artillery supported by Ancient Chimera.
When those who set out first arrive at the entrance to the palace and form their formation, he begins firing threatening shots with the artillery.
This will turn the gaze to a distant place and at the same time inevitably force the soldiers to come out… .
‘If everything goes according to plan, my Red Rose Unit will be the first to take the lead.’
When that time comes, Carol takes advantage of the opportunity to contact his subordinate units. He quickly reverses the number of his troops and enters the palace at once.
Carol advanced with the word “victory” engraved in her mind even though the battle had not yet begun.
And soon he arrived at the vine bridge that goes from the lower part to the central part and gave orders to his soldiers.
“Let the 1st and 2nd platoons go over the bridge first and search the surrounding area. “The 3rd and 4th platoons will move the artillery with me.”
Enough to send scouts even though there was no sign of any presence on the other side of the bridge.
His plan didn’t go as planned. First, the 1st and 2nd platoons crossed the bridge and tried to check the bushes by lighting torches.
“huh? What is that.”
Berathir suddenly emerged from the darkness and swung a fist filled with aura at the knights.
“Well, it’s Strange.”
