“Remember them. “They are the ones who may have another necklace of warmth.”
They were all wizards who had a specific reaction to Atres’ announcement. To put it simply, ‘Oh, I have that relic too? Those who thought, ‘Was that something like that?’ were classified through facial expression changes.
If they tried to forcibly read their memories using mental magic such as mind reading, they would probably notice something, but if they only reflected their appearance and read their facial expressions from a distance like this, there would be no way for them to notice.
Tethron clicked his tongue as he remembered their names.
“The silver wise men are really troublesome.”
The thought of spying on each of these people and secretly stealing the Necklace of Warmth makes me tired already. Wouldn’t it be better to just kill them all?
Duke Iranad shook his head.
“Remember this. It’s easy to fool everyone for a while or a few forever, but it’s never easy to fool everyone forever. “Because we were so careful and careful, the world still doesn’t know about the existence of the Silver Sage.”
Duke Iranad spoke in a serious voice as he took the crystal version and the Spear of Truth.
“Humanity must not know the existence of the Silver Sage. The truth is that if people knew that someone was taking care of them, humanity would not be able to achieve proper development. “The Silver Sages are not the ones who protect from the shadows and lead and rule humanity.”
As soon as Atres’ presentation was over, the two left. There was no more business to see here. As he headed out of the venue, Tesron suddenly asked.
“But why on earth is the necklace of warmth a taboo item? To be honest, I don’t think it’s a very great performance… … .”
Of course, it is surprising that it is possible to improve one’s constitution, but all it does is make a person who is weak to cold stronger. Even if you wear a necklace of warmth for the rest of your life, it will not transform you into a transcendent body that is immune to cold itself.
Honestly, I wonder if this is an issue that requires such a sensitive response.
Duke Iranad nodded.
“Of course, I’m not that great on my own. However, magic that directly modifies the human body has never been permitted to mankind.”
For an instant, Duke Iranad’s eyes sank frighteningly.
“Because ultimately, it is connected to the path to immortality.”
Tesron’s complexion changed drastically.
“Was that possible? “Maybe among the silver sages?”
“Well, among the silver sages, there are quite a few who have limited immortal power. Immortality or eternity may be impossible. “If you’re lucky, you might be able to meet me too.”
‘Who is it?’
Duke Iranad looked wary for a moment as he looked at Tethron full of curiosity. He spoke in a stern, scolding voice.
“Don’t tell me any more than that. “It is beyond your authority.”
Tethron bowed his head silently. Duke Iranad gave instructions for what to do next and left the venue first. Tesron scratched his cheek while looking at the back.
“Actually, there’s one more thing I wanted to ask, but I don’t think I have the guts to tell you.”
In the meantime, various tasks have been handled according to the orders of the Sage of Silver. And there is something that puzzles me every time.
‘How on earth do the Silver Sages operate their information network?’
At first, I thought it was through the information networks of each country or the magic tower. Well, the Sages of Silver are actually high-ranking people from each continent, so they must be operating such an information network as well. It is true that that alone is a huge information network.
But there was something that couldn’t be explained by that. It was time to kill the wizard Hal in Freezeland.
‘Obviously, that wizard named Hal didn’t contact the Magic Tower on the way, and that doesn’t mean he knew what was in Salcana Dungeon in advance. But how on earth do you understand the dynamics of people with whom you have no contact?’
It is certain that the Silver Sage does not have omniscience. If they had been able to know everything that existed in the world, there was no way they would have been able to prevent Atres from announcing about the Necklace of Warmth.
‘Although it has tremendous information power, to the point of omniscience, there are some weak points. I don’t know how it is.’
Tethron crossed his arms and his expression hardened.
This is not the only secret that the Silver Sage hides from him. Although he received the title of wise man, Tethron was still treated as an outsider. They don’t tell you any really important secrets, and all they ask you to do is follow up with trivial details.
‘It’s difficult to keep it like this. Something needs to change… … .’
Even though he became one of their members, the Silver Sage surrounded himself with layers of secrets and never revealed his true nature to him.
‘The flesh of the silver sage? ‘It has become something of a subtle expression.’
After giggling for a moment, Tesron also walked out of the venue.

Below the huge pure white hall, tens of thousands of crystals covered the walls on all sides. Images of all kinds of human figures are reflected on the crystals that are tightly connected like a chessboard. There was a large silver pillar in the middle of the hall, and a desk was placed underneath it, and about a dozen men and women were working hard at the console.
Tens of thousands of images are displayed on the crystal, and some of them continue to move toward the silver pillar and blink. A blond young man in his 30s who was watching the scene clicked his tongue and muttered.
“There are definitely a lot of people who are influenced by the king and want to make moves. “I guess I’ll be busy for a while.”
A man sitting at the desk spoke to the young man.
“I will classify the processed items, Guardian Arclight.”
“Please do so.”
As soon as the young man agreed, dozens of the flashing images moved under the pillar and disappeared. Among them, there was the image of a young man going to confession and the image of a female priest who was diligently writing something.
The blonde young man smiled bitterly.
“I feel sorry for those who sacrificed their lives without knowing anything.”
But all of this is just a small sacrifice for the good of all mankind. Guardian Arklight soon shook off his uncomfortable feelings and turned his attention back to the video.
A huge pure white hall that projected numerous images, this was the ‘Eye of Sayre’, one of the most powerful artifacts possessed by the Silver Sage.
Everything that all Sayre’s priests on the continent, and those who use sacred power in the name of Sayre, see and hear are conveyed to the Silver Sage through this artifact. Even ordinary believers who are not priests are connected to Sayer’s eyes as long as they pray to Sayer, and their eyes and ears become the silver sage’s information network.
This ‘Sayre’s Eye’ was one of the greatest powers that allowed the Silver Sage to rule the world in darkness. It was no exaggeration to say that it was truly the power of God, as Sayre’s priests and believers spread across the continent became informants without their knowledge and provided information on their every move.
‘But actually, there isn’t much information about King Reppenhardt. There are no people around who believe in Young Sayer… … ‘This guy, you don’t have very good feelings about the Sayre Church, do you?’
Guardian Arklight, a blond young man, looked at the images reflected in the silver pillar and looked dissatisfied.
It is true that this ‘Sayre’s Eye’ is an artifact with almost miraculous powers, but it clearly has limitations. It only exerts its influence on Sayer’s priests and believers, so those outside Sayer’s church cannot fully understand it.
‘Well, since he has such thoughts about the slave race, if he were a true priest of Sayre, there would be no way he would get close to him.’
The young man grumbled for a moment, but his expression soon calmed down.
In any case, ‘Sayre’s Eye’ is not the only information power that the Silver Sage possesses. There were high-ranking people from each country who belonged to the Silver Sage, and they also had their own information network, so it was a matter of taking advantage of it.
‘It’s not something I care about. ‘My job is only to prevent any influence from him.’
After paying attention to Reppenhardt, the young man continued to review the images of the silver pillar.
The amount of information that ‘Sayre’s Eyes’ grasps is enormous. There is no way that a few humans can review all the information. The silver pillar in the center, ‘Sayre’s Law’, was the one that automatically classified all that information.
Images continue to be projected onto the surface of the pillar. It was information that was filtered out by the ‘Law of Sayre’ and judged to be a threat to the protection of humanity. Looking at the video, the blonde young man dismissed some and placed others on the agenda.
It was in the meantime. A voice was heard calling to him from behind the young man.
“Guardian Arklight.”
The blonde young man looked back. A cute silver-haired girl who looked to be in her mid-teens was looking at him wearing a pure white robe.
“Guardian Sereline, why are you here?”
“I just stopped by for a moment.”

After replying in a blunt voice, the girl began to look closely at the silver pillar. He probably came to check on the situation for a moment while he had other business to attend to.
The young man shrugged his shoulders and asked the girl.
“Are you handling the matter regarding King Repenhardt well?”
The girl looked away from the video on the pillar and answered in a tone that it was no big deal.
“I sent your brother. No matter how strong he is, the King of Fist is only an Auror user, and he will not be a match for someone armed with ancient magic.”
With a cold expression, the girl disappeared into thin air again. The young man tilted his head as he looked at the person who had completely disappeared.
“huh? “He’s just an Auror user?”
The young man approached the desk in front of the pillar and touched the console. After a while, a video of a battle appeared above the pillar. It was a battle video of two men reflected in the vision of Sayre’s paladin, Christine.
Looking at that, the young man muttered blankly.
“… … “This guy uses magic?”

There was a huge stone chamber about 10 meters high, with an arch-shaped door in the center.
All doors function as a passageway between walls. In that sense, this arched door had a rather strange structure. There were no walls on either side, just a door that was left hanging.
Nevertheless, this was definitely a ‘door’. This arch was not just a door, but the Chloe Dymann Portal, a great Silver Age relic that connected space to space.
Buzz buzz!
A faint noise arose from inside the quiet arch-shaped door, and then a dazzling light erupted.
After a while, a group of people walked out of the light. There was a sturdy green-skinned orc, a cute red-haired boy, and the scarred orcs that followed.
The orcs looked into the stone chamber and muttered with surprised faces.
“W-what is this place?”
“Unbelievable? Surely it was a different place just a little while ago?”
These were Orc gladiators who escaped from the western part of the Kingdom of Grime. Following the guidance of Tashid and Silan, he escaped the human city and fled to the Setelad Mountains, and then came here through the space portal of the Daiman Terminal to the Chloe Dungeon in the Gloten Mountains.
After forcing the orcs away from the door, the red-haired boy took out a small stone from his pocket. The boy muttered as he held the stone towards the light of the portal.
“User, Silan Phil Marsis. Certification number 352525. Lockdown.”
Runes emerged from the stone surface and radiated light into the space portal. The swirling cluster of lights soon faded away, turning into an ordinary arched door again. After putting the key stone back in his bosom, Cilan glanced at the orc gladiators.
Silan softly whispered to the green orc, Tashid.
“Shouldn’t this space portal be kept secret? “Is it okay for more people to know like this?”
Tashid frowned slightly and nodded.
“I think so too, but that doesn’t mean we can’t move them safely like this without using a space portal, right?”
Over the past two months, Leffenhardt and his colleagues have rescued numerous cross-species slaves and brought them to the Kingdom of Antares. Of course, people who lost their precious property could not sit still, so naturally, each time, a tracking party was organized to chase after the runaway slaves.
However, no one captured the runaway slaves. The traces of the escaped slaves all led towards a remote area infested with monsters.
The pursuers were perplexed.
A remote area is a remote area because people cannot live properly there. No matter how afraid you were of humans, heading to a rough place infested with monsters was just an act of suicide. So, although there were sometimes runaway slaves in the past, they never dared to run away to remote areas. They lived in hiding in the deserted mountains and made a living by robbing passers-by, but were eventually subjugated by the military. But this time, everyone ran away like that, as if they didn’t know they were precious about their lives.
Although they found it strange, the chasers gave up on the runaway slaves. There were too many dangers to chase them beyond remote areas. They weren’t going to live long anyway, so they all gave up and assumed they were dead. Unless they knew about the existence of space portals, it was natural for them to make that decision.
“As such, it would be difficult if the existence of the portal became known to the outside world… … Too many people know the existence of the portal to keep it a secret… … However, if you only allow a few people to use that portal to keep it secret, you are not utilizing a good transportation method properly… … .”
Tasid shrugged his shoulders while looking at Silan who was muttering. Then she patted Cilan on the back and told him not to worry.
“Your benefactor must have something in mind. “I believe in Him.”
“No, it’s not that I don’t believe it either… … Although Mr. Leffen seems meticulous, he is secretly sloppy in many ways… … .”
Tashid chuckled at the sight of Silan constantly babbling.
“Well, it’s not my place to worry about that. “I just believe in Him and follow Him.”
Then he looked back at the orc gladiators and shouted.
“ruler! Everyone, follow me!”
Tashid and Silan took the lead and came out of the stone chamber. The orcs began walking behind him with half-nervous and half-excited expressions.
☆ ☆ ☆
Chloe, a dungeon once infested with all kinds of monsters and demons.
But now Chloe Dungeon had been thoroughly cleaned. Since the Kingdom of Antares is an important base for communication with the outside world, it cannot continue to be infested with monsters.
The collapsed building that made up the entrance to the dungeon was repaired by the dwarves and had a clean appearance, and the passage leading to the space portal was also in an extremely safe condition. By clearing out all the surrounding monsters, the passage to Baekwangseong was also secured. Barracks and barracks were built around the entrance building leading to the ground and a high wall was built around it, so this was no longer a dungeon but a great fortress.
From within this rugged fortress named Chloe Guard, loud cries were coming out.
“Kaaah!”
“Kaoooo!”
Hundreds of Orcs were drenched in sweat and brandishing their weapons on the wide parade ground. There are only huge swords, axes, and hammers that are too big to handle. The orcs, who were swinging the weapons in their hands with difficulty, were out of breath and their arms were shaking. Even for those who had spent their entire lives fighting and training, these weapons were too large and heavy.
A loud shout fell on the heads of the struggling orcs.
“Can you become a true warrior if you cry like this?”
