“Outside… … Is the damage too severe?”
Lennok, who was powerlessly putting his arm on Su-ryun’s shoulder and moving forward, asked.
Su-ryun replied with a stiff face.
“It is nonsense. The downtown area in the center of the citadel was completely reduced to ashes.”
“… … .”
“Thanks to your warning in advance, we were able to rescue all those who had not yet escaped, but the residents of the fortress and the remaining family members are working hard to extinguish them.”
“… … Right.”
Lennok, who had a rough idea of what Walter would do at the end, asked the others to clean up in advance.
The battle of the 7th level Aspect Wizard. If it was a series of battles against the bishop of the Church of Guido and the head of the 8 families, it would not be possible to prevent the aftermath from spreading in all directions.
Rather than that, there was a judgment that it was better to use hands around it in advance before developing the territory.
“Chen and a psychopath named Manson are also helping out now. If only you and Asui escape, I plan to isolate the entire block here.”
As soon as you realize that the heukyeom doesn’t go out well, are you planning to wait for the fire to go out by designating a section at all?
It was a bold decision considering the assets that would be left in the downtown area, but Lennok nodded, knowing that Su-ryun’s judgment was not wrong.
It is impossible even for Lennox to easily predict how long the flames in his heart will burn.
Rather, it was desirable to minimize the damage by slowly examining its nature over a period of time.
“Anyway, a disaster of a level that is really unbelievable… … . How could a mere human do such a thing? Is the battle of monsters that have completed the hierarchy like this?”
Soo-ryun, who supported Lennok, looked around and muttered with a stiff expression.
A curtain of black flame that burns fiercely as high as the height of a high-rise building.
Even though the damage hadn’t been done to this point yet, the heat alone made my whole body feel hot.
At her words, Asui shook her head with a frightened expression.
“Not all Aspect Wizards can cause such a disaster. It’s just that Van-nim has ridiculous power.”
“… … .”
“Could you single-handedly crush the power of the Lee family and subdue even the bishop of the church… … If this is known to the outside world, it will be impossible to even cover the truth.”
“… … It just mixed with the Bishop’s power and something unexpected happened.”
Sensing the rapid rise in the ratings of the two, Lennok turned around slightly.
“Don’t you understand when you see that I can’t completely control it with my magical power in the first place?”
“Is it necessary to rise to this level and look down on the world in order to deal with the bishops of the denomination? We still have a long way to go.”
“To protect the fortress, everyone will have to work hard from now on. I will do my best.”
“… … .”
At the reaction that didn’t even get eaten, Lenok quietly kept his mouth shut.
Right after that, a large shadow rose from the other side of the street and in an instant embraced the three of them and began to clear the way.
At the reverberation of that familiar magical power, Lennok raised his head.
“This magic power… … .”
“Looks like Samyoung’s family has opened their eyes. To come to her aid as soon as she came to her senses… … .”
Su-ryun laughed and put Lennok on the shoulder.
“Looks like we didn’t choose Chae-ju the wrong way.”
* * *
Heukyeom, which burned down Yvon’s home, disappeared after one more night.
This is because Oren, who took over the ruler’s authority, focused on isolating the flames in the center by transforming the outer boundary of the fortress.
Even with the strength and durability enough to contain the flames caused by the Black Sea Shinrak, and yet being able to transform so freely, the barrier that the ascendant directly touched was definitely different.
Comparing to that level, it can easily be compared to the barriers attached to the lighthouse that the Blue Eyes use as their base.
The city council’s refusal to invade the territory of Palgoong Fortress would also be a lie if the power of the barriers manipulated by the ruler’s authority did not work.
“… … .”
Lennok, who was wrapped in bandages all over his body, looked out the window and turned his head away.
After the proxy war ended, the atmosphere inside the citadel was not so bright even though the family of Samyeong was newly crowned as the owner of the castle.
As a result, of the three families that boasted the strongest prestige in Palgoong Fortress, the two families, Wonwon and Ibon, were completely cut off.
Even Ilwon was shocked by the truth that the head of the family killed himself by giving his family members as food for the church, and Yvon joined hands with the church and tried to sacrifice the entire fortress.
If it wasn’t for the actions of the Samyoung family at the end of the proxy war, it wouldn’t have been strange if an irreversible rift broke out between the 8 families and the residents of the fortress.
It was clear who was responsible for preventing the disaster called the Advent of the Apostles and preventing the end of the collapse of the Fortress as a whole.
“So, I guess there will be no rebuilding of Ilwon and Ibon.”
“The Pagoong Fort will be renamed the Heukbang Fortress and will continue to exist. There will be a lot of outside intervention in the process.”
Chen, who was standing behind Lennok, answered.
He stood still, arms folded, watching Lennok’s work.
“Considering what goes on outside the city, Ba Guang Citadel will probably step down from the position of the Three Heads.”
Chen, who was wandering around the shadows of the Balkans trying to start a business, would know more about the recent situation in megacities than Lennok.
Chen continued without waiting for Lennok’s reply.
“It is not surprising. It was difficult to know the actual situation because it was isolated from the outside world, but the fortress’ power itself had been deteriorating for a long time… … . Oren must have guessed that too.”
The power and status of the crumbling fortress. Can it be said that the desperate struggle of Lee Bon-ga-joo was also a struggle to avoid falling out together?
“It’s going to be noisy outside again.”
It is only natural that the back alleys of the Balkans would be in an uproar over the Palgoong Fortress, which had descended from the position of the Three Heads, and the newly vacant seat of the shadowy leader.
Chen laughed at Lennok’s murmur.
“Always. Just because one problem is solved doesn’t bring everyone to a happy ending.”
“… … .”
“Rather, a harsher time than now will be waiting for Oren and the residents of the fortress. Compared to the power of the stronghold, the privileges they held are too many, and there are probably not one or two people who are dissatisfied with that fact.”
Three giants who reign in the shadows of the Balkans. The title of the Three Heads is not just a grandiose nameplate.
Instead of managing and controlling the nearby commercial districts and being responsible for the safety of the residents, they maintain the size and manpower of the organization while receiving a shadowy tax.
This series of transactions itself maximizes the influence in the vicinity of the organization, and gradually widens the status among other organizations.
On this floor, even such notoriety is a power and a qualification.
It is obvious how far the strife will spread between those who want to eat the citadel that puts down such authority and those who want to climb to the top of the shadows.
In the process, if the talented people of the organization who were holding their breath start using their strength, the streets will soon become a mess.
But Lennok nodded his head softly even as he clearly guessed that fact.
“Right. Oren will take care of himself.”
It’s obvious, but I don’t intend to use my strength for the fortress that far.
Being entangled with Palgoong Fortress would have been impossible if the ruins had not been discovered in the process of tracking the traces of the Guido Church.
Killing the missionary Walter and preventing the advent of the Apostles alone was enough for Lennok to fill the gap.
Rather, from now on, Lennok had no room to interfere, and it was nothing more than a pure castle affair.
Chen laughed as if he had expected Lennok’s reaction.
“Ha ha ha!! I thought so. If you’re a neat guy like you, you won’t want to use your hands any more here.”
“… … .”
“But I decided not to pass it any further.”
“what?”
Only then did Lennok turn his head and look at Chen’s face.
“The business I decided to do with my friends. We intend to establish the company here.”
Chen replied.
“Thanks to being with you, my status within the fort has risen a lot. I got Oren’s promise that if I do business here, I’ll give you a bunch of privileges, plus tax exemption. There are still quite a few well-trained warriors left in the stronghold… … It’s a pretty decent business foundation for me.”
“… … .”
“It’s nothing to worry about for you, with a resourceful broker named Jenny, as your manager, but I’m about to get in the game, so there are some thorny issues.”
When he said that, he smiled and crossed his arms.
“I plan to take care of this and that while solving the problem of the fortress little by little. If it goes well, it will be on a scale that is not envied by most mid-level players.”
“Right.”
Lennok nodded, and Chen secretly took out a business card from his bosom.
“So, do you think you would like to invest in us?”
“… … .”
“The beginning will be similar to the manpower station, but in the end, I plan to move toward construction and facility management that can use the manpower of magic users most efficiently. In particular, the method of collecting fees in exchange for restoring and managing the ruins that collapsed in the shadows is incomparably more efficient… … .”
Lennok smiled as he stared at Chen, who had gone from being a trustworthy colleague to a merchant in an instant.
Even if it was grandiose like that, Chen, who took care of himself wherever he was, wouldn’t throw himself into a business that would fail.
If you want to continue not only your relationship with Chen, but also the relationship with the fortress, it wouldn’t be bad to own some of his company’s shares.
“I know roughly what you want.”
“… … really?”
“okay. I will give you a suitable answer soon, so wait for it.”
Lenok’s contribution to the existence of the Fortress this time was at a level that could not be compared even with all the people in the Fortress.
At the moment when others were moaning from their injuries and trying to figure out the situation, he went alone into Yvon’s home and finished the work before coming out.
In the process, Walter’s original purpose, the Advent of the Apostles, was even stopped, so it was obvious what that fact would mean to those who knew the inside story.
After hearing about all of this, Oren also made the decision to pay a fair price in order to keep the connection with Lennok in the fortress.
Thanks to this, Lennok succeeded in taking over the land of the Ibon family that he had burned with his own hands, the mansion owned by the Ilwon family, and even the management rights of the historic sites that existed there.
Now, even in a fortress that has been reduced to a six-sided fortress, it is practically the same as becoming the owner of a new, unofficial family.
Since he received the remaining property of the Wonwon family and a part of the carapace remaining after burning the body of the apostle, the reward was more than enough.
Perhaps the ‘investment’ that Chen wants is to rent the site where Yvon’s ruined mansion existed in exchange for a share.
He didn’t need Lennok’s property or goods right away, and there was nothing he couldn’t do if he was at the level of asking for the loan of the land he had obtained for free.
“… … .”
After sending Chen waving with a bright complexion, Lennok immediately moved to the main building of the mansion.
After this incident, more than ten people, including the heads of the 8 families, came to Lennok, and Chen was the last of them.
After Manson said that the fort was cramped, he escaped outside with the permission of the owner of the castle.
But Lennok still had work to do inside the citadel.
The secret of the historic site that Walter had longed for. Faint cracks carved into the closed world.
Because there was one more opportunity left for Lennok in the Beecher that Wonwonga owned.
* * *
The deepest part of the three-story, one-story mansion.
If you walk along the dark corridor hidden behind the bathroom mirror, you will see a meadow spread out in a dimly lit room.
A ruin protected within a golden barrier. A worn-out coffin lay obliquely among the lightly covered bushes.
The inside of the coffin is empty, but inside it is a name written in unknown characters.
Lennok casually passed through the golden barrier and moved into the ruins.
After already opening the barrier through Oren.
From the moment you enter the historic site, you can feel the time passing slowly inside your body.
“hmm… … .”
As if moving in water, the slow-moving body slowly landed on the grass.
Lennok had already been accustomed to the phenomenon at the site through several experiences.
The speed of thought is still the same as this world, but the body is being influenced by another space.
To be precise, the effect of the world line that had already disappeared.
“… … .”
Lennok looked around in all directions with a sharp gaze, slowly generating magic.
Unlike the body, which moves infinitely slowly, the magic power itself spreads everywhere at a speed that is neither too slow nor normal.
That’s probably because the magician’s power source called magical power itself is a power that affects both the body and the mind.
With his mana spread throughout the ruins, Lennok closed his eyes and raised his concentration.
Whoops!
The magic sense developed to the limit becomes sensitive enough to read even a single grain of dust moving inside the ruins.
Lenok focused on identifying and interpreting the space of the historic site while maintaining that concentration for several tens of minutes.
Chara!!
I do not attach great importance to the characters written on the coffin that cannot be immediately interpreted and the existence of the coffin itself.
The important thing is that this space is the space-time of the old world that has now disappeared.
If this landscape must be the traces of WOLRD 1.0 and 2.0 that Lennok knew,
In the gap between the world lines, there must be a gap that Lennok can read.
‘Now I can understand the meaning of that message.’
A message left by the head of Pandemonium to Lennok. Did he say that if he looked for the secret wife of the Guido Church, he would be able to find the answer to the magic of time?
The true meaning of that word was not that the magic inherent in the time series was hidden in this beacon.
‘Wilter said that the very existence of this ruin is a rift in a closed world.’
Therefore, through this historic site, it is functioning as a communication channel that can send signals to the open sea and directly accept the power of the apocalypse floating in the dark sea.
The Guido Church was using these historic sites as consumables to awaken the missionaries as the apostles of the end.
But that’s not the only way to use the cracks that have occurred in this world.
cracks in the world. In other words, it meant that it would provide an opportunity to get a glimpse of the cross-section of the world through the cracks.
It is like an act of peeping through a damaged part of a machine’s component composition.
Although only localized and cross-sectional observation is possible, it is far from truly understanding the structure.
Even so, it is possible to look into some of the parts of the machine called the world.
‘Through the operating principle of the time and space of this world and the time and space of the old world, it identifies the gap and enables relative measurement. In other words… … .’
It was the same as meaning that specific actual measurement data of time and space systems would come into Lennok’s hands.
Lennok’s eyes shone sharply.
‘It means that I have obtained the most basic data to create space-time magic.’
