Episode 302: Crossroads of choice (4)
Deshan’s eyes widened.
When he spotted Fred, he shook off the soldier and ran out in a huff, grabbing Fred by the leg of his pants.
“Please, please. Please save me! I asked these people to help me… … evil!”
Sigh.
A soldier from behind pulled my clothes.
The soldier lowered his head and said he was sorry, then forcibly dragged the large, struggling figure past Fred.
I could hear constant screaming from behind.
When the image of Deshan, who revealed himself as a spy and escaped from Dmitry in the fourth test, came to mind, Fred could not calmly accept the situation that had just occurred.
“… … How did this happen? “Could it be that the promise made on Dmitry’s honor was a lie?”
Deshan is a spy.
There was no reason to keep a promise to a spy, but since Fred was also a spy, he felt embarrassed.
Chris said.
“We were planning to keep Deshan alive as promised. If only he had buried what he had seen and heard from Dmitry and lived with his mouth shut. Dshan left Dmitri and headed to Adelian. After reserving a warp itinerary to ‘Valhalla’ there, he contacted the person who requested the spy through magic communication. From then on, it’s just as you saw it. Dmitri’s Intelligence Guild was keeping a close eye on the spies’ movements, and upon determining that Deshan had broken his promise, they brought him here.”
Fred’s eyes wavered.
My mouth was dry.
Hearing Chris speak calmly, he felt a cold sensation.
‘… … Dmitry never once ignored the existence of spies. He was confident that it didn’t matter what variables were created by the spies, and he would have been prepared to destroy our existence at any time.’
I got goosebumps.
Chris obviously.
He said that he had completed the classification of information on those who passed the enlistment recruitment and that all preparations were made according to their selection.
At first, I thought it was a consideration for spies.
People whose families like his were held hostage would not be able to betray Kronos if they could not solve the fundamental problem.
however.
When I thought about it, the truth was different.
Full preparation according to the choice meant that negative situations were also included, and if he had stolen Dmitri’s information, the beings Chris had bribed might have harmed his family.
Let’s think about it there. The corners of my eyes were trembling.
The fact that Dmitry was scarier than I thought gave me complex emotions.
I was surprised at first.
Fear arose.
I was embarrassed and confused about how to accept this situation.
And then.
I was relieved.
If the work was handled this thoroughly, I believed that my decision to entrust the future to Dmitri was not wrong.
“Fred.”
I saw Chris.
Chris looked at Fred, as if he could clearly see what he was thinking.
“Remember this day. Dmitri, heaven is not just as good as it is naive.”
* * *
At a time when there was an uproar over the whereabouts of spies.
There was someone who was alone in the training ground, immersed in training.
Pot.
Crumbling.
The sword split the night sky.
Ares showed a look of sincere admiration at the aura that was scattered along with the beads of sweat.
“… … “The answer I was looking for was in Dmitry.”
Ares.
He was called a genius in swordsmanship, and after questioning Aleksandr’s methods, he created his own way.
An organized aura rather than a reckless outburst.
Rather than spreading mana throughout the body, I tried to find a way to somehow control it.
The incident in which he defeated Schneider, a member of the Twelve Swords of the Continent, was proof that his methods were correct, but Ares knew that he still had not found the right answer.
Decades.
I was crazy about the sword.
To him, who only thought about the sword from the time he opened his eyes to the time they closed, Dmitri’s teachings were bound to be shocking.
‘Sura’s mind law is the ideal I was looking for. Control of mana has always been a problem that has not been solved, but Sura Mindbeop creates a space to store mana and suggests hundreds of ways to expel mana from there. This is definitely not knowledge that can be completed in one or two years. But how on earth was Roman Dmitry able to create such a perfect theory?’
It was amazing.
While people like Scott took 3 hours to feel mana, Ares felt mana and induced it as soon as he followed the method of Sura Mind.
Only 1 hour.
When Ares felt a slight but definite accumulation of mana in his Danjeon, he could not help but exclaim in exclamation at the thrill rising from his toes.
I was shocked.
The sura meditation was a miracle, and based on this, it seemed like he could realize many of the things he had imagined.
the problem is.
‘Is it really true that Sura Simbeop is nothing more than a low-level martial arts skill?’
chuck.
I took up my sword.
The swordsmanship based on Sura’s mind technique was destructive, and he felt like he, who had been stuck in his tracks recently, was taking a step forward.
However, I could not accept the statement that this type of sura and mind dharma were only of a low level.
I saw a new world just by looking at the sura, but Chris said there was more.

‘If what Chris said is true. Roman Dmitry may have already occupied an overwhelming position in martial arts. People say that they cannot understand Roman Dmitry’s actions in publicly revealing the concept of dantian, but that may be nothing compared to Roman Dmitry’s achievements, such as teaching sura meditation to spies. Roman Dmitry. What exactly is your identity? ‘When you’re not even 30 yet, how can you create a highly complete system while denying the existing system?’
Ares’ way.
Although it was said to deny Alexander’s teachings, in the end it had no choice but to base itself on Alexander’s teachings.
But Roman Dmitry was different.
Roman Dmitry made a system that even he, who people call a genius, only vaguely imagined, becoming a perfect reality.
It is said that people only see what they know.
Since Ares was denying Alexander’s method and creating a new system, the teachings of the Sura mind laws were bound to be even more shocking.
actually.
Ares intended to leave Dmitri after receiving some instruction.
His honor as a prosecutor was not that important to him.
‘Roman Dmitry is now writing a new history. A great achievement that will push Alexander to the back of history.’
I was sure.
Roman Dmitry was different from Alexander.
We were creating a perfect system without any loopholes.
so that.
Ares changed his mind.
‘As long as I have something to learn. Let’s stay with Dmitri for now.’
I made a decision.
Recognize Roman Dmitry.
I accepted that I had something to learn from him.
I had no intention of being loyal to Dmitri for the rest of my life, but at least for now it was worth devoting myself to him.
But did he even expect it?
There was a precedent named Chris who swore loyalty to Roman Dmitry for similar reasons.
Okay.
I took up my sword.
The night air was cold.
Ares turned around and headed toward his dorm, not anticipating his future.
* * *
Emperor Kronos.
No, Alexander received the report from the Marquis of Memphis while being ‘possessed’.
“… … All of the spies sent to Dmitry have not been able to contact us. At first, it was thought to be a communication problem, but seeing as it was reported that there was no particular problem with Dmitry, it seems we should consider the possibility of defection.”
The Marquis of Memphis bowed his head.
I did not dare to face the angry face of Emperor Kronos above my head.
“All those bastards chose Dmitry.”
Recruiting private soldiers.
Kronos sent hundreds of spies.
Most of them did not pass the fourth test, but many people, including Scott, were listed as successful candidates.
I thought it was only a matter of time before the martial arts were stolen.
However, no matter how much time passed, there was no return call, and the Marquis of Memphis had no choice but to mention his defection.
It was absurd.
Spies of the Kronos Empire.
I couldn’t believe that even though each of them had the risk of defection, they chose Dmitri.
furthermore.
‘The link between the pieces was broken.’
Pieces that penetrated Dmitry.
The connection with them was not smooth.
Alexander was confident that he would be able to steal the military even if all the spies failed, but the loss of communication between the pieces was embarrassing.
It was not clear whether they had defected.
But the fact that things did not go as expected made Aleksandr unable to suppress his boiling anger.
Kronos is an empire.
Because it was different from other countries, it was given the title of empire, and people looked up to the Kronos Empire.
land of power.
Rather than succeeding in a country like Cairo, Dmitri, Hector, etc., succeeding in the Kronos Empire is an achievement that would make you stand tall anywhere on the continent.
But recently the tide has been changing.
After suffering a series of defeats against Dmitry and paying a large sum of 500,000 gold as war compensation, people no longer considered the Kronos Empire to be an entity with ‘overwhelming power’.
A crack appeared.
The precedent that even Kronos was not perfect led to the tragic conclusion of the spies’ betrayal.
“Humans are animals of forgetfulness. “Stupid people do not remember what results the Kronos Empire brought about in the repeated history.”
Not yet.
It wasn’t the right time.
But in the not too distant future, the world will have to deal with its own anger.
“Marquis of Memphis.”
“yes.”
“All spies assigned to Dmitry are discarded. Bring in everyone who is associated with them and clearly show them what will happen if they betray Kronos. There is no room for Kronos to be shaken just because bastards leave Kronos. Kronos will always be at the top of the continent.”
“I follow your orders.”
The Marquis of Memphis retreated.
And a few days later.
The Marquis of Memphis, with a pale face, reported that the entire family of the spies had fled.
* * *
A gloomy space.
Alexandre took a step.
When we finally reached our destination, the moonlight coming through the hole in the ceiling illuminated the surrounding space.
It was a foundation.
Looking at the dark red shape, Alexandre laughed.
“One year from now. “In one year, the millennium plan will be completed.”
A long time ago.
When he took over Alexander’s body and ascended to the throne of emperor while receiving enthusiastic cheers from the people.
Alexander hoped for immortality.
Because I lived a life that I did not have in my previous life, I hoped it would last forever, and I thought that only a life that is domineering, not pitiful but eternal, gives life meaning.
Alexander embraced black magic.
Living as an immortal, Alexander created a tradition to control the descendants of the imperial family.
“The descendants of the imperial family must pray for the revival of the empire through a ceremony to honor the spirits of their ancestors on the day of their coming-of-age ceremony.”
Current Emperor Kronos.
It was the same with him.
He was considered to have a natural talent as an aura swordsman, but during his coming-of-age ceremony, he was swallowed up by his ancestor, Alexandre.
From then on, Emperor Kronos became one of many fragments.
In this way, Alexander remembered Emperor Kronos, his father, and his grandfather.
From the time that history recorded Alexander’s death, he had been under the control of those who were called emperors.
People didn’t know the truth.
As time goes by.
While humans, who only live for a hundred years, fell into the swamp of oblivion and repeated the mistakes of the past, blood and death piled up at this foundation.
Alexander’s plan also proceeded step by step.
The magic of darkness has become increasingly stronger, and as the power of the World Tree has been rapidly weakening recently, the day to realize the Millennium Plan is just around the corner.
Roman Dmitry.
Kingdom union.
It was meaningless.
One year from now, they will face the shocking truth that Alexandre, the so-called founder of Aura, has been leading the Salamander Continent.
“Roman Dmitry. Run wild to your heart’s content. No matter how hard you struggle, the future that has been planned for a long time will not change. In the near future. “I will complete the thousand-year plan with martial arts that will surpass you and a disaster that will destroy Dmitri.”
I laughed.
The wide smiling face was tinged with madness.
“Look forward to that day.”
Gurgling.
A magical power arose in the Foundation.
The darkness multiplied.
Before we knew it, it had engulfed Alexandre’s existence.
* * *
A few days after that.
Dmitry regained his composure.
Most of the spies’ issues were resolved, and Dmitry’s soldiers began training in earnest and settled down.
Around that time.
Three guests visited Dmitry.
A time when the sun has not fully risen yet.
The first guest to visit Dmitry was Hoffman, the president of Golden Bank.
