The military city of Barhams had a very special significance in the Varendal interethnic war.

This is because it was the city where the ‘Red Revolutionary Alliance’, a group of humans representing the Crocodile Tribe, Miao Tribe, and Yazer Tribe, fighting against more than 7 different races, was first formed.

Barhams City was an independent place from other countries because its military power was so strong that it could be called a nation in itself. Twenty years ago, on that day, two kingdoms and a republic gathered around this place and declared war on different races. Since then, this place has completely become a strategic and tactical point.

In other words, being a ‘councilman’ in Barhams City means that it is a position that can give some weight to the shoulders of the forces in the battlefield.

There would be very few nobles who could command the city’s military and treat a city council member who was directly connected to the ‘Red Revolution Allied Forces’ carelessly.

Therefore, Karims thought that the boy would not refuse his offer to go to the council.

“No, I’m busy so I don’t think I need recognition. “I have to go and see.”

“… … .”

The boy’s reaction was a little different than expected. Karims nodded with a slight frown on his face. Then the soldiers waiting behind slowly approached and surrounded Harang.

“This train you took was not supposed to arrive at Irels Station. However, it crash-landed due to hijacking. Do you know what kind of place this is? It’s a battlefield. “There may be dangerous people on the train, but we can’t let them go until their identities are confirmed.”

Karims said this and looked at the Deadrang mercenaries who were being dragged away with a frown on their faces.

“… … If a person is strong enough to take down a mercenary like that, an even more thorough investigation will be needed. Isn’t it? “Considering that this is a conflict area, we ask for your cooperation.”

In fact, even as I speak, I still have doubts.

Did that little boy really defeat Red Rock, the leader of the Deadrang mercenaries?

He was a 6-star powerhouse and was showing tremendous performance on the battlefield.

‘Black hair and black eyes.’

Karims figured out that Harang was a nobleman based on his appearance, but decided that he was not from a great noble family.

Although black eyes are not that common, they are still seen quite often among noble families.

Since he did not have a special eye color and did not proudly display the family emblem, he must have come from an unremarkable family.

There were often cases of changing the eye color with lenses, but eyes with a special color were extremely rare even among upper-class nobles, so they would not hide them but would rather proudly display them.

“ha… … .”

Harang closed his eyes tightly and placed one hand on his forehead.

It was quite outrageous that a city council member from just one city was acting abusively.

I endured it for a long time.

Why have you been hiding your identity all this time?

If I were to make an excuse simply for a superficial reason, it was because I had been performing my duties in Arniel for a long time.

Additionally, most of Caladern’s Foldon Knights kept their identities secret while carrying out missions.

This was because if you revealed your identity from the beginning, the mission would often get complicated due to the heavy weight of the name Caladorn.

however.

I wasn’t on a mission right now.

The mission given to him to infiltrate Arniel was successfully completed, but wasn’t he now on his way to return?

When Caladern’s Foldon Knight returned from a mission, he would wear Caladern’s uniform and cape and proudly display his silver eyes… … .

But why did they try so desperately to hide their identity?

Isn’t it obvious?

Harang could tell himself, ‘It’s because I was scared.’

He overcame a situation where he almost died in an attack by an 8-star mercenary, and a group called ‘Del Fael’ wearing a white spider web mask openly declared that they would target him… … .

However, that also had its limits.

Harang remembered what Avalanche said just before.

‘It looks like you really have magic.’

Even though he said it as a joke, his words, as a spirit, had weight, so Harang somehow felt like it was true.

The more you get scared and try to run away, the more things get complicated and time gets delayed. What awaits at the end?

‘Harang Paul Calladun declared dead.’

At first, I thought I was too complacent.

But at this point, I figured it out.

That some unknown influence is twisting one’s life in one way or another.

If it were the 21st century, I would not have believed it, but after experiencing one death due to the gods’ conspiracy, I have come to believe it now.

In fact, we have come to know that in this world, ‘divinity’, which means god, exists, that there are religious groups that worship them, and that divinity is directly involved in the world through believers.

Haven’t you actually experienced the outstretched hands of the divine before? Even though Calanthatis kicked everything… … .

‘I think I understand now.’

‘Someone’ whom Harang does not know well is watching him somewhere in this world, and that someone’s purpose is to prevent him from returning to his home in time.

This was not mere speculation or delusion of grandeur.

A feeling, intuition, or experience.

Having experienced death once due to divinity, I was able to know what they wanted.

‘Stay scared forever and don’t reveal your name. Because you won’t be able to picture the future as Caladorn.’

If so, the story becomes easier.

In the end, they were called ‘sacred’, which meant that they could only change the situation indirectly in this way.

‘I got it for sure.’

Just as I didn’t forget them, they didn’t forget me either.

“great. let’s go.”

Harang took off his lenses, took out a coat from the backpack he had on his waist, put it on, and spoke to Karims.

Karims, who saw this, opened his eyes wide and took a step back. Even with the soldiers surrounding him, he wasn’t much different.

“Now, wait a minute, you… no way… … ?”

“I tried to pass by quietly out of consideration for you all… … .”

He slowly approached Karims, one step at a time.

“It can’t be helped unless you like it loud.”

Contrary to his words, the once noisy platform at Irels Station became quiet.

Everyone was speechless when they recognized the pattern on the cloak Harang was wearing.

‘… … ‘Fucked.’

Only then did Karims realize that he had messed with a high-ranking nobleman by mistake, but it was too late.

The higher-ups also clearly warned them not to touch the high-ranking nobles of the Central Continent, and that the moment they intervened in the Northern War, all balance would be shattered.

I can’t believe I made a mistake at a time like this.

Harang stayed very close to Karims and whispered quietly.

“As far as I know… … “I heard that there is no agreement to end the war between the two races for mutual benefit.”

The longer the war drags on, the more the ‘Red Revolutionary Coalition’, including Barhams, and the ‘Interethnic Coalition’ inflate their fortunes.

Although civilians, small forces, and nations are dying out, they sell soldiers and mercenaries, treat military materials and weaponry as commodities, suck up interest on the frozen assets of warring countries, and take money from the surrendered forces, saying they will carry out reconstruction projects. Eating, etc.

Everyone knew that they were collecting blood money from a long war.

However, there was no benefit in touching them and there was no reason to interfere, so the great nobles of the central continent just left them alone.

but… … What if one of the great nobles of the Central Continent is involved?

Even that.

When ‘Caladun’, a group so powerful that large nobles form a force and pledge allegiance, becomes involved.

What happens?

The war that had lasted for over 20 years would end in less than a day, and there was a very high possibility that all the blood-stained money would be confiscated.

‘Well, that’s not possible!’

Karims said hurriedly.

“Well, if you’re really busy, I can’t help it. “How could I stand in the way of a precious person?”

Even as I said that, I kept checking the pattern engraved on Harang’s shoulder.

It was to check if it was real or not, but who in the world would dare impersonate Kaladan?

Harang smiled and said to Karims, who still seemed to be unconscious.

“no. Now that I’ve been invited, I’ll have to go to the city council meeting. Please guide me.”

“ah… … All right.”

Karims let out a short sigh and lowered his head with an expression as if he were about to die.

‘I have no intention of actually intervening, and I do not have the power to do so.’

Perhaps through this incident, the news of his survival will spread throughout the northern region. If that happens, the news will soon be delivered to the central continent.

Of course, the photo was not taken, and Kaladan was not a group of people whose ears were light enough to believe and move based on rumors coming from the northern battlefield. They’ll probably send someone here to check the facts, but by then it’s too late.

Being known indirectly has no meaning, so showing one’s face directly was the top priority.

* * *

A dark, huge cathedral.

A corner of the cathedral where candles are sparsely lit but there are hardly any people around.

A middle-aged man with a stylish beard and a gray suit was watching a woman.

She was wearing a mysteriously embroidered hood, neatly collecting necklaces in both hands, and praying toward a huge symbol hanging in a frame.

However, because he could not understand what was being said at all, the middle-aged man clenched his chin as if he was annoyed.

Archduke Alsov Emblitz.

He was the head of the legendary swordsman Emblitz and the Archduke of Alsov, who reached the level of the 10th Star and was given the nickname ‘Furrent Constellation’, but he lived his whole life unable to resolve the deep-seated resentment in his heart.

That was another nickname, ‘The Best in the World’.

It is a title given only to the strongest warrior of an era, and it was something that Archduke Alsov had been aiming for his whole life.

But that dream has now faded, and even passion no longer survives.

The era of Grand Duke Alsov was beginning to come to an end.

Since you are born as a human being, no matter how transcendental you reach, your prime will eventually end when you grow old and weak.

Kal-El Paul Calladorn has already taken over the title of ‘The Best in the World’ and has not let go of it for decades… … .

A few years ago, thinking he was old and weak, didn’t he challenge him to an unofficial duel and lose miserably?

Kal-el-Fol Caladorn was still in his prime, and Prince Alsov knew that his prime was over after he lost that duel.

In the end, it seemed like my dream of becoming the best in the world was in vain, but I wanted to pass on that dream to my children.

Although he was dissatisfied with his children because they were not as talented as he was, his granddaughter, who was born in the midst of all this, caught his heart.

‘Chorien Emblitz.’

Born about a year before Harang, she had a talent that only comes along once in hundreds of years.

Hasn’t she, who turned 16 this year, already achieved the 5-star level and is now running toward the 6-star level?

However, Archduke Alsov could intuitively know.

If Chorien’s talent is such that it only comes out once every hundred years… … .

Hello, Paul Calladun. That child’s talent is at an unprecedented level, something that appears only once in a thousand years.

There was even talk that Chorien’s talent alone might surpass that of the warrior Caladern, but how far will Harang grow?

Even so, it was unthinkable for him to harm Harang Paul Kaladan with his own hands.

That was not the duty of a knight, and it would only be dishonorable for Chorien to receive the title of ‘World’s Best’ in that way.

However, if we borrow the power of ‘divinity’… … .

Wouldn’t it be possible to narrow the gap between Chorien and Harang just a little bit?

Although he was born with talent, if the environment does not support him, wouldn’t he be unable to fully develop it?

“ha… … .”

dump!

When the woman who was praying collapsed, Archduke Alsov slowly approached her.

“What happened?”

“… … Yes, I did ask for it.”

“It’s sacred. That’s amazing. “You can manipulate a situation without using anyone.”

“It’s not manipulation. Just change the flow of fate by slightly connecting the circumstances… … .”

Archduke Alsov said it easily, but in fact, there are very few beings like that saint in the world.

The number of beings who can influence the world by asking divinity can be counted on one finger.

“I did as you asked, so you must keep your promise.”

“Sure.”

Archduke Alsov nodded and added.

“It’s a promise I made with the ‘Saint of Benedis’ and no one else, so I can’t break it.”

“… … Please don’t call me that. “I am no longer a saint of Benedice.”

“And you pray so well. Anyway, good job. “I guess I’ll do it next time if I don’t have anything to see again.”

As Archduke Alsov, who spoke so sarcastically, left the cathedral, the saintess sat down and covered her face with both hands.

Tears were flowing down her cheeks.

“I’m sorry, I’m sorry…” … .”

Who are you sobbing and apologizing to?

Shoot!

Rumbling… … !!

However, the cries were quickly drowned out by the rain and thunder falling outside the windows of the cathedral, so no one could hear them.

It was as if heaven did not allow her tears.
