A genius gamer is reincarnated into a famous hero episode 150

Frozen Castle (1)

Harang didn’t have much expectations.

When he headed to the branch of Glaisagar with Bilede’s supplies, he had no expectation that they would welcome his return or praise him for successfully passing the false mission.

Mercenary card. I just wanted to receive a mercenary badge, but the response was cold.

‘He dared to hit the head of the Eagle unit commander! They must be captured and locked up immediately!’

Although it was clearly Billed who attacked first, most of the mercenaries were making absurd arguments to capture Harang first because Glaisa was a mercenary with a fairly high reputation within the group.

Harang said he was attacked first, but the mercenaries argued that there was no way Billed went to the mission site and stabbed another mercenary.

Of course, there was no way the mercenaries’ camaraderie would be that strong.

They just wanted to somehow arrest Harang and imprison him, regardless of whether Billed died or not.

“ha… … .”

So in conclusion, Harang was trapped in the chain tower of Gaorn Castle.

It would have been better to say that I was captured on purpose. It’s obvious that if you fight in a place where mercenaries are gathered, it will become more troublesome.

‘It would be easier to be caught briefly and then escape.’

His arms were tightly tied behind his back with restraints that suppressed aurors, and a leash was even tied around his neck. If you are stamped like this, you will inevitably become a slave.

‘The restraint ball is… … ‘Totally old-fashioned.’

Harang felt the restraints tightly tied behind his back.

I thought I wouldn’t be able to do anything since I couldn’t use mana anyway, so I didn’t take any other equipment except weapons and armor, but thanks to that, I was able to use the subspace of my watch.

If you use subspace well, it is not only possible to absorb the shackles.

Slam!

‘It’s easy to solve, too.’

Thanks to the fact that I learned many unique techniques, such as removing the handcuffs and cutting off the opponent’s neck in case I was taken prisoner in the White Night Castle, I was able to remove the flimsy shackles of the North with great ease.

Crunch!

After completely removing the restraints, Harang thought as he relaxed his sore muscles.

‘If a strong person I can’t handle comes along, it will be bothersome. We must escape before we are escorted to the guild headquarters.’

The top of the chain tower was a large, round room with a cage-like grill made of special metal placed in the center.

‘Getting out of the cage is… … it is not diffcult. But it might be difficult to break down the wall.’

Since the wall was made of metal that was difficult to break down even for a highly trained auror, I had to head downstairs.

‘If you take the stairs to the lower floor one by one, you will be caught. I noticed that there was a small glass window a few floors down. An adult might not be able to pass through, but my small body… … ‘You’ll be able to jump.’

I’m glad it’s a tower and not a basement.

The high-rise towers in the central continent are equipped with magic, so if you jump or fly near them, you will immediately be bombarded with magic bullets, but there is no need to worry about that here. All you had to do was watch out for the archers in the watchtower.

“Whoa… … .”

Harang gathered his hands neatly in the shape of an inverted triangle and summoned Mitiel.

The plan was simple.

After installing the ‘Memorize’ spell on the entire rooftop in advance, destroy the iron bars.

After using magic to subdue the mercenaries who came to check, he goes down a few floors and escapes through the glass window he checked earlier.

Woooo!!

Blue light leaked from the cage on the top floor of the Chain Tower, and the space began to gradually become colored with a magic circle… … .

* * *

Frozen northern lands. The Freezing Palace, the heart of the Grand Duke Racial Lord, who dominates nearly half of the frigid land.

The royal people living in the Freezing Palace had a unique rule.

First, those who have not mastered the Aura cannot withstand the cold, so they should not come near the ‘spire tower’ where the Archduke resides.

Second, if something happens that requires you to go to the Spire Tower, be sure to receive a ‘blessing’ from the wizard.

Third, never show signs of feeling cold in front of the Archduke, no matter how cold it is.

All of them were unique conditions.

To begin with, the harshly cold land maintains temperatures below zero all year round, so anyone who lives here will be accustomed to the cold, so there is no need to impose such conditions.

Nevertheless, it seemed quite unusual that there were as many as three conditions related to cold hanging on the spire, which is the most important place in the Freezing Palace.

Damn… !

The buildings near the spire and the Grand Duke’s office are not only frozen, but also filled with frost, so you can hear the sound of ice breaking every time you step.

Saaaa… … !!

“… … .”

Blah, blah!

Grand Duke Baella Raciallord slowly walked through the corridors of the spire tower, which was dyed pure white.

The subjects bowed their heads to him, trying hard to endure their shivering bodies from the cold.

The sight of the already frozen space becoming increasingly covered with ice as he walked was quite magical, but since no wizard who came here could find the cause of this phenomenon, it must have been a truly mysterious phenomenon.

Jutalan, a follower of the Grand Duke and the head of the royal guard of the Freezing Palace, lowered his head as if he felt sorry.

‘Your Majesty’s condition has worsened… … .’

His complexion went beyond being pale, and his dark circles became so dark that they covered half of his face.

His sculptural appearance, which was known to mesmerize anyone who made eye contact, became increasingly decadent, and his talent, which was so outstanding that it was once said that he could reach the level of a 10-star star, could not be revealed to the world due to his illness.

If only he had time to train, he might have had time to train, but ever since his condition became known, every day has passed and the Gleisa guild has been using the land of the great lords as a stepping stone to invade the Great Dukedom, so he has no time to spare.

The office is hardly ever used anymore. Every day, I had to review strategies through strategy meetings in preparation for siege warfare, and even though I was sick, I had to force myself to take medicine and go to the battlefield.

Today again, Archduke Baella, who was heading to the command and control room where the generals were waiting, stopped when he sensed something.

“… … .”

As he turned his head and looked into space without saying a word, the quick-witted Yutalan guard captain made all the soldiers retreat.

“Let everyone return to their respective positions. “From now on, no one is to set foot here until the next order.”

The servants quickly left the castle with their heads down.

And, as some time passes.

A shadow appeared in a corner of the white castle, and a figure that looked like a person crept out from there.

Yutalan frowned.

Devil (惡魔).

They live in a dimension different from reality, the demon world, and are like parasites that crawl out of the world at any time and look for opportunities to absorb human souls.

I wanted to cut off the guy’s head right away, but there was only one reason why I couldn’t.

-His Royal Highness… … Have you made a decision today? His beautiful appearance has faded due to his long illness.

This is because the devil knew a way to cure the Archduke’s condition.

That guy, who is nothing more than a shadow, is not yet a very powerful demon.

A Yutalan can kill you at any time if it wants to. However, the Archduke turned a blind eye to the existence of that devil.

This is because if you die, this palace and the people that your ancestors protected will be swallowed up by your enemies.

When there really is nothing to do.

When you reach the end and decide there is no more hope, you may have to take the devil’s hand… … The Archduke thinks so.

“… … go away. “I don’t have time to argue with you right now.”

-Hehe, I see. I respect Your Majesty the Archduke, who has been enduring this pain for over several years. But, how long will that last… … .

The shape of the devil, swaying like a shadow, disappears. The Archduke closed his eyes tightly and touched his forehead.

Cold sweat ran down his cheeks, but no one would dare hand him a handkerchief.

“majesty. Are you okay?”

“… … .”

His condition seemed to have gotten worse recently, but he didn’t try to show it. After waiting for a while, the Archduke opened his eyes as if his headache had subsided slightly.

Jutalan looked at his master with worried eyes, and a story recently heard in the city suddenly came to mind.

“majesty. “It is said that a person with a similar appearance to the beautiful woman with mixed black and white hair that Your Majesty was looking for has appeared in Gaoren Castle.”

Suddenly, the expression of the Archduke, who had been walking with an indifferent expression until now, changed for the first time.

“… … “Is that really true?”

“yes. “But they said it wasn’t a woman, she was a young boy.”

“Because he’s a boy…” … .”

“Currently, it appears that Glaisaga has secretly released a pursuit party to enslave the boy, but strangely, it is said that all the mercenaries were defeated and killed.”

“Didn’t they only send low-level mercenaries?”

“well. that is… … It is said that even ‘Billed’, the so-called eagle commander, returned with his head cleanly cut off. When the boy returned holding his head, Glaisa’s headquarters was turned upside down. “Thanks to you, the news reached here.”

“… … “Billed was a 6-star warrior.”

“That’s right.”

At best, a boy can win against a 6-star mercenary? It doesn’t make sense.

“That boy is unusual in many ways. According to eyewitnesses, it had a mysterious atmosphere, as if it were removed from the world.”

“… … “It seems like it’s not just something out of the ordinary.”

When the Archduke seemed interested, Jutalan continued speaking.

“I heard that it uses very unique magic. The court wizards shook their heads and said that such magic could not exist in the world, but rumors do not exist for nothing, right?”

“… … “Where is the boy?”

“It is said that he is trapped atop the ‘Chain Tower’ of Gaorn Castle. An open chain tower is used when arresting important people or violent criminals. It seems like it was quite urgent. “It looks like one of the three great mercenary kings will probably head to Gaorn Castle soon.”

After those words were finished, the Archduke paused.

“Gaorun Castle… … .”

“yes. “Currently, it is a neutral area with half the control of the Grand Duke and the Guild.”

Then, after contemplating for a moment, the Archduke seemed to have made up his mind and moved in the opposite direction.

“Bring the ‘Cold Cloak’.”

“… … !!”

The cold wave cloak is a cloak that suppresses the cold chill that naturally leaks from the archduke’s body, and its use was quite limited as it only functioned for a short time when wizards infused it with mana.

Therefore, it was an artifact worn occasionally, such as when meeting with a great lord, going to an important event, or going out into the city as an individual.

Since I had rarely been to the city myself before, this was considered quite unusual.

‘Is Your Highness showing this much interest?’

He often talked about a mysterious person mixed with black and white who appeared in his dreams, but Yutalan, who had never expected him to act so sincerely, was quite surprised, but his actions were moving quickly.

In fact, it was the first time in several years that His Highness had acted so positively and proactively, except when he was on the battlefield.

However, there is one area of ​​concern.

It is none other than ‘Gaorn Castle’, which is currently a neutral area where the guild and the archduke’s control is held in half by Glaisa, and an implicit rule has been established that the heads of each faction do not visit or intervene directly in order to avoid friction with each other. am.

Therefore, none of the mercenary kings would visit or reside in Gaorn Castle unless it was important.

In the meantime, if His Highness goes to Gaorn Castle… … .

‘There will be great chaos, but we will be able to occupy the Chain Tower with a free pass.’

Yutalan’s eyes sparkled with joy.

After serving my lord for a long time, this was a unique experience.

* * *

The harsh cold of the evening sometimes created a beautiful spectacle where the sky was completely covered with aurora.

Ordinary people could only observe the green aurora, but superhumans with sensitive eyesight were able to observe light of various wavelengths and were able to see the colorful aurora.

“Please wait a moment…” … !”

“Are you trying to block His Highness’s path?”

“S-sorry!!”

When Grand Duke Baella came to Gaorn Castle, the city was turned upside down.

The lord of the castle came in person and followed him in a restless manner, and after that, countless lords followed him with their heads bowed while keeping an eye on him, but Yutalan chased them all away.

“Your Highness has some business to attend to at the Chain Tower, so everyone please return.”

“B, but since a great person has come, we should treat him well…” … .”

“Okay, go.”

Gaoren Seongju trembled with anxiety like a puppy caught in the rain. After all, the Archduke touched the Chain Tower himself! Recently, as Glaisa had come into contact with the guild, he had been wagging his tail at the mercenary kings. He was well aware of the fact that the mercenaries had kept a cherished slave at the top of the chain tower.

If they open their eyes and take it away, how angry the mercenaries will be!

However, there is nothing that Gaorn Seongju can do.

There was nothing he could do except close his eyes and step back.

As the castle lord retreated, even the Knights of the Chain Tower did not dare to stand in the way of the archduke.

Jeok-jeok-jeok… … !

When Archduke Baella, who had not yet worn the Cold Wave Cloak, took a step, the entire area froze.

He slowly climbed up the chain tower. I could hear the prisoners on each floor shivering from the cold, but I didn’t care about their well-being.

One floor, one floor. The Archduke climbed the stairs with a calm expression.

However, Yutalan was able to realize that his master was very excited right now.

‘You are looking forward to meeting… … .’

At the thought that the possibility of curing a long-standing illness was just around the corner, even the Grand Duke of Baella could not contain his excitement and was quickening his steps.

Archduke Baella finally reached the top floor and pushed the heavily closed iron door with his bare hands. Ugh… ! As the iron gate, which was beginning to freeze, was fully opened, Jutalan rushed inside before the Archduke, drew his sword and struck something.

Tsk-!

‘Guillotine?!’

A guillotine fell from the sky and flew straight at the Archduke’s neck. Jutalan, who easily cut it off, felt that the feeling of cutting was unique.

‘The guillotine… … ‘It’s turning into light and disappearing.’

He spoke to the Archduke with a hardened expression.

“majesty.”

“Yes, it’s made of magic.”

“… … “It’s hard to believe that something like this can be created with magic.”

Even though the frigid land was a wasteland of magic, there were still quite high-level wizards in the Freezing Palace. Even their magic wasn’t at this level.

“That makes me even more excited.”

“… … “I will take the lead.”

The top floor of the Chain Tower. This place, with only a cage in an empty space, was unnecessarily large and the distance to the center was quite long.

Jutalan had to swing his sword ahead of the archduke.

Jiiiing-!!

Sunlight poured in from nowhere in the sky, dizzying illusions that stretched and shrunk the space like a rubber band, shooting stars resembling constellations poured down, and purple butterflies flew around, dazzling the sight.

Each of them is a unique magic that has never been seen anywhere else in the world. Is it really okay to call that magic? It was almost like a recreation of a small myth.

“It is done.”

Grand Duke Baella finally reached the front of the cage and stretched out his hand into the air. Then, a beautiful sword resembling transparent ice was summoned and placed in his hand.

… … Suddenly!

Thousands of hexagonal ice crystals flew, cutting off the entire roof of the chain tower and blowing it away.

Gugugugugugung… … !!

The ceiling slides sideways, and the sky full of aurora is clearly revealed.

Now, the only thing taller than this Chain Tower was the cage. The boy sitting on it was silently looking down at the Archduke with his silver eyes.

‘… … Really, you look exactly like the woman in His Highness’s story.’

The mysterious boy with black and white hair had an emotionless expression on his face, but even that was mysterious and attractive.

The Archduke looked around for a moment, then raised his head and asked him.

“You could have run away, but you didn’t. “As expected, were you waiting for me?”

“… … !!”

Yutalan could see.

The corners of His Highness’s mouth turned up for the first time in several years. It was really only a slight change, so an ordinary person might not even notice the change, but Yutalan could.

The current Grand Duke was clearly enjoying himself!

“… … .”

After receiving the Archduke’s question, Harang parted his lips, then closed them again.

I had nothing to say.

‘No, you just attacked me right before I could escape… … .’

This was the person he wanted to meet anyway, but he had no idea they would meet like this and was extremely embarrassed by this situation.
