Chapter 140
Silence fell in the library.
As if my brain had hardened at Mimir’s unexpected words, the accident stopped.
‘… … The first princess?’
Mimir Bell Bytenor.
You are Master’s daughter.
‘I knew that Mimir was a person who lived in Master’s era in the past, but I didn’t expect to be Master’s daughter… … .’
It was truly unimaginable.
“Seeing you be so surprised, you couldn’t have imagined it at all?”
Mimir smirked at my expression, as if it were amusing.
“… … uh. I never even thought about it.”
“okay? I’m surprised I wondered if he noticed it to some extent while training with Elena.”
“There was nothing to notice… … ?”
At the time of performing on the pages of the third test. The only new information I got is that Elena and Mimir are close friends, and that Mimir and Elena made a pact.
With that much information, it was unreasonable to predict Mimir’s true identity.
“I guess Elena really didn’t say anything at all?”
“Rather than saying anything, when the topic about you came up, he changed the topic like lightning. Hear about Mimir for yourself. while saying.”
“… … okay. It’s Elena. There was no need to hide it that much.”
Mimir gave a small smile.
What are you thinking? A bitter feeling oozes from your face.
“Anyway, I was the princess of the Bytenor Empire. how is it? Do you look different now?”
Mimir put his hand on his hip and raised his head arrogantly.
She looked like a cheeky and daring little girl.
But, if you ask me if I look different from the usual Mimir, that’s not the case.
“not really? Does it look the same as usual?”
The elegance of a princess was nowhere to be found. Mimir was just Mimir.
“… … okay. It’s the same.”
Mimir smiled bitterly with a mysterious expression.
You seem to be thinking a lot about something.
Mimir’s expression made my head complicated.
‘… … Am I pouting?’
Maybe Mimir wanted to show something like the dignity of a princess.
That’s why I’m feeling a bit sad about the answer that I’m the same as usual.
‘Should I have said it looked a little different?’
Senior Ma Jin-seok was like that.
When a woman says, ‘Isn’t there a difference today?’, you should always pay close attention and answer.
If this was a situation that fit those words, wouldn’t my nonchalant answer be a kind of landmine?
I glanced at Mimir’s complexion.
Now I’m keeping my head down.
It is certainly. I feel bad.
‘I’ll think about it before answering.’
With regret inside, I spoke to Mimir.
“Mimir. Looking back, more than usual… … .”
I need to get rid of the feeling first.
It was time to think and start talking.
“thank you.”
“… … huh?”
Mimir suddenly said thank you.
“It’s the first time.”
“first? what?”
“The heir is the first person who hasn’t changed his attitude after hearing that I’m the princess.”
Mimir raised his head and looked me straight in the eyes.
The mysterious expression from before is showing a bright smile.
“Everyone changed their attitude the moment they found out I was the princess. someone is trembling Some bowed their heads, and some begged for their lives to be saved… … .”
“… … What kind of evil did you usually do that makes you shudder?”
“what?”
Mimir sneered, as if it were absurd.
“Heir. i am a princess He is also the only direct descendant of the Bytenner Empire, the world’s greatest power, and the legitimate heir to the throne. How many people do you think would not tremble in front of me like that?”
“It’s more strange that there are people who shudder when they see you.”
Tremble at the sight of Mimir.
I can’t even imagine
“Just tell me. When she was young, she used her status as a princess to harass her vassals, right?”
“Because it is not! What do you see me as?”
Mimir turned his head.
The slightly swollen cheeks represented her sad feelings.
This time, if I go further, I’ll really get angry.
“sorry. just. Yeah, I couldn’t imagine someone trembling when I see your usual friendly side, so I exaggeratedly made a joke. I’m sorry if I offended you.”
“A friendly look… … .”
Mimir glanced at me slightly. The air quickly escapes from the puffy cheeks.
“Hmmmm. Well, I hope it was a joke.”
Mimir, instantly relieved, stared straight into my eyes again.
“Again, I was a very good princess, right? The maids even called me an angel. know?”
“… … uh. I think the maids would have liked it.”
Who would hate a boss with such a personality? No, there will be people who don’t like it, but there won’t be many of them.
“Do it. There’s no way you’re going to be corrupt.”
“I wish I knew. I wish I knew.”
Mimir crossed his arms and gave a bashful laugh.
“Eh. If he had known that the heir would react so casually, he should have revealed it from the beginning.”
“… … What are you talking about?”
What does my reaction have to do with Mimir not revealing his identity?
“it’s okay. You don’t have to worry about it.”
Mimir waved his hand and gestured not to mind.
“The heir can just do what he normally does.”
“… … uh. I’m going to do what I normally do.”
“huh. That’s it.”
My head tilted involuntarily. I couldn’t read the flow of the conversation. what. What’s the matter?
“ruler. then. Let’s talk about this here. We still have a lot to say, but we can’t just talk about this forever, can we?”
“ah. yes.”
I erased the questions that filled my head and focused on Mimir’s words.
“First of all, an enemy country that has been at war with the Bytenor Empire for decades. I’ll start by talking about the Veil Saguk.”
“veil… … Saguk?”
The proper noun is already a question.
First of all, the suffix is Saguk.
“Empire, kingdom, law… … I’ve heard of this. What is Saguk?”
“It is literally. Saguk by writing the country of death.”
“ah. That’s what it means.”
Death means death.
One question has been solved.
Then, one question remains.
“Then the veil… … .”
Bale Saguk, about the middle veil.
“Are you the veil of the veil stall?”
The beginning of the black magic that Mimir had alluded to in the past.
Bale Stall, the destroyer of the quest.
The enemy’s name was the same as his name.
“huh. that’s right. It is the veil.”
“Right.”
My prediction was correct.
“The country of the dead, led by the veil stall. That is the enemy of the Bytenor Empire and the enemy of the world. It’s a veil saguk.”
“Land of the dead… … Can I ask what you mean?”
“That’s the literal meaning. 99% of the people of the Veil State are dead. It was undead.”
“The country of the undead… … .”
Are the undead smart enough to create a nation?
“Actually, what do you call a country? Except for the fact that there were territories, there was nothing that had the structure of a country. You can just look at it as an undead army led by the veil. In fact, not a single person considered its army to be a real country.”
ah. It wasn’t a real country.
“But why is it called Saguk?”
Aside from the fact that no one acknowledged it as a country, the name ‘Saguk’ seemed universally standardized.
What is the reason?
“Simple. Bale Stoll’s forces. The undead’s army was to the extent that it exceeded the size of the country. In terms of the number and scale of troops, it was bigger than the Bytenor Empire, so I said that.”
“aha. That’s why it’s Saguk.”
“that’s right. Well, the title Saguk is a kind of mockery. bale stall. You are only the king of the realm of the dead. can’t beat us What does this mean?”
King of the dead only.
understood.
“Anyway, the main enemy of the Bytenor Empire was the Veil State Bureau led by Veil Stoll.”
“uh. I roughly understood what kind of relationship it was.”
I knew roughly what the angle was.
In short, it is a clash between good and evil.
Master, the creator of magic, is good, and Bale Stoll, the creator of black magic, is evil.
“The purpose of the Veil Saguk must have been something like world destruction or world domination. Master’s purpose was to prevent that. Is it roughly like this?”
“Exactly.”
“As expected.”
If it was obvious, it was obvious.
“Then, is the ending roughly like this?”
And the obvious story usually ends with an obvious ending.
“After a long war, they succeeded in defeating evil, but at the cost of good, they lost their lives.”
The veil stall was knocked down, and Master lost his life in return.
It must have been this ending.
“… … that’s right. Ray ended his life without being able to lift the curse that Veil Stoll had squeezed out.”
Mimir lowered his head with a sad expression. She looked like she was about to cry, as if she was remembering her father’s death.
“Was it such a powerful curse? To the extent that Master can’t do anything about it?”
“huh. It was a curse cast at the cost of the life of Bale Stoll, the founder of black magic. No matter how much Ray… … Even if it was Obama, it wasn’t a curse that could be done.”
Curse-type magic still exists in this era.
It is a black magic that literally puts a curse on the target by offering all kinds of offerings including living sacrifices.
The larger this ‘tribute’, the greater the effect.
‘A curse realized by a black magician of the size of a veil stall offering himself as a tribute… … .’
It’s a story from a very different world, so I can’t imagine it, but it must have been amazing.
It’s just that Master couldn’t do it.
“Like that, Ray only has one year left to live. okay. only one year… … .”
It was too short a time to enjoy the long-awaited peace.
Mimir paused for a moment with a sad expression on his face. It was as if something stirred inside him.
“And that year… … Ray decided to use it for his future successor.”
I remembered the past, when I first obtained the Book of Idred.
At that time, Master clearly said:
‘I left this book in order to find a successor who will continue my magic, even in the distant future.’
I mean.
“… … He didn’t want the bi-tenor expression to be forgotten even if he died.”
“That’s true, too, but a little different.”
Mimir shook his head slightly.
“It’s true that Ray didn’t want the bitenorism to disappear. But that’s not simply because I wanted to leave behind my achievements, honor, and glory.”
“… … then?”
“for the future.”
future.
It was a very loose word that could be interpreted in many ways.
“Precisely to prevent the veil stall that will be resurrected in the future. For that reason, Ray decided to leave his magic behind.”
“… … resurrection?”
My eyes widened.
“The veil stall will be resurrected?”
“huh.”
Mimir raised his head and stared into space with his blind eyes.
“The day Bale Stoll was defeated by Ray. He said this.”
Mimir said in a cold voice, as if imitating the voice of Bale Stoll.
“Now I lost. But this defeat will give me a flawless victory.”
I mean.
Mimir added so little.
“… … It sounds like you’re definitely coming back.”
I lost now, but in the end I will win.
This was the meaning of Bale Stoll’s words.
“however… … . Isn’t that just loser bullshit?”
It is unknown exactly how much time has passed since the era of the Bytenor Empire.
Because there are no accurate records left.
However, it is certain that an unusual amount of time has passed.
However, the veil stall did not resurrect for such a long time.
This meant that there was a high probability that the last words of the veil stall were mere lies, the absurd words of a loser.
“no. The veil stall will be resurrected.”
“… … How can you be so sure?”
“Because Ray did it. The veil stall will surely resurrect someday.”
Mimir narrowed his eyes.
“Ray did. One day, on the day when the stars of good and evil overlap again, the veil stall will appear on this earth again. He said he should be prepared for that time.”
“What does it mean when the stars of good and evil overlap?”
“I don’t know what that means. You didn’t even tell me.”
Mimir looked away again, staring into space with his blind eyes.
“Anyway, Ray said. The day when the stars of good and evil overlap. Bale Stoll will return. so… … .”
Mimir stared straight into my eyes.
“In preparation for that time, I must pass on my magic to the future.”
“… … .”
“The day when the stars of good and evil overlap. The day evil rises. For the sake of the future successor, the line that will be born together.”
