Episode 202 Wizard Calurien (1)

“Now, then it becomes important what the ‘despicable act’ is. At that time, the lighthouse keeper Ruad-Din gave orders to Elil, who was a famous angel. His orders were to kill a woman.”

“What kind of woman?”

“She was just an ordinary woman.”

If it were truly an ordinary being, there would be no way that Ruaddin would even order a bright angel to kill it.

Nimlot continued speaking, passing off the pun with a smile.

“okay. In fact, in Urbansus, Ruad-Din saw a vision of the future. I predicted a future where a powerful nation would be born and disrupt the great precepts of the Code of Light. Ruad-Din was not happy with that fact and wanted to correct history. So he wanted to eliminate the progenitor of that nation before he was even born.”

In other words, Ruad-Din ordered Elil to kill ordinary people who were still helpless for the sake of the great precepts of the Code of Light.

“Why did you do that to Elil?”

“Because she was Elil’s wife.”

Isaac closed his mouth.

They realized who the founder of the mighty nation that Nimlot was talking about was.

“She was the progenitor of a nation that would be born in the future. Ruad-Din knew that her daughter would become a god, murder Elil, and collaborate with the undead to become the greatest obstacle to the Great Plan of the Code of Light. “Once God is born, it will be more difficult to ‘correct’ it, so I wanted to deal with it before then.”

In the myth of Elil, the dancer who was Elil’s daughter is often mentioned, but Elil’s wife is rarely mentioned. This is because she is an ordinary human being, and she died shortly after giving birth to a dancer, so she never accomplished anything remarkable.

By killing that one ordinary person, Ruad-Din decided to annihilate tens of millions of new people who would be born in the future. And he took care to avoid Elil’s predicted death with his own hands.

However, that incident ultimately led to the birth of two gods.

Elil refused Ruad-Din’s orders and protected his wife.

And he gave birth to a daughter who was predicted to kill him one day.

Elil’s wife died from complications after giving birth, but he resolutely declared that he would protect his daughter. She will not condone Ru ad-Din’s despicable actions, even if it means her death.

Elil’s apostasy led to him gaining the status of a god with the help of Calurien. With the birth of Elil, a faith that had never existed in history, Ruad-Din’s plans were further shaken.

In the end, Ruad Din lost the opportunity to correct ‘history’.

Now, Elil can also intervene in Urbansus.

“Of course Ruad-Din warned Elil. You will surely regret your treason. Your daughter will kill you, your knights will be isolated, your angels will look down on you, and you will be plunged into eternal self-loathing… … .”

Nimlot muttered in a dull voice. Still, she continued her words.

“Elil decided to accept it all. It is better for you to suffer than to kill your daughter before she is born. “In exchange for shame and humiliation, he gained courage and honor.”

Isaac closed his mouth.

I felt ashamed of my shallow thoughts when I had teased Elil for being an incestuous relative.

“Then the story about him marrying his daughter is a despicable lie… … .”

“Oh, that’s true. “You two were a great pair.”

“… … .”

It was a just, but pitiful and sad incestuous relationship.

“However, it is true that the statement that he founded the Elil faction to marry his daughter is an ill-timed and malicious lie. “You can’t marry your unborn daughter.”

However, Isaac could not help but be astonished upon learning the inside story of the Elil faction. In the end, it was clear that ‘the birth of a nation that blocks the law of light’ refers to the Walaika kingdom.

It was said that the daughter born to Elil’s wife would become the progenitor of the nation.

‘It is true that the influence of the Red Grail is enormous, but… … How can we say that the Walaika Kingdom is a nation powerful enough to threaten the Code of Light?’

Headhunters are notorious, but that’s only because their actions are so vicious and cruel.

It was difficult to say that the national power of the Walaika Kingdom itself was very strong. It is only the largest of the common small countries in the East.

The Kingdom of Elil may seem like a mess, but its national power was objectively more than twice that of the Kingdom of Walaika.

“The people of the Walaika Kingdom don’t seem to be that strong… … .”

“hmm. As far as I know, I heard that it is the outstanding heroes born from a nation, rather than the nation itself, that awakens the nation. “It means that historical heroes like Ruad-Din and Elil are born.”

“Hero?”

Nimlot nodded.

“okay… … Was the name of the prepared hero Hezabel? “I guess so.”

“Heshabel?”

Isaac checked again. Nimlot nodded.

The gambling addicted vampire I subdued is actually an SSS-level hero of national salvation?! The same phrase flashed past him, but Isaac thought it couldn’t be so.

Although Hesabel appears in the game as the heir to the Gulmar duchy, she never becomes a hero of the nation’s salvation.

However, the being that appears when you succeed in ‘Crimson Tomb’, the Red Grail’s declaration of victory, is somewhat similar to the description… … .

Isaac suddenly felt a shiver run down his spine.

The declaration of victory of the Red Grail Club route, or the ending, ‘Crimson Tomb’, is a vampire who succeeds in the ultimate plot and assassination, devours the dancers of the Red Grail, countless angels, and even royal families, and becomes a new god who overwhelms other gods. It is an ending of rebirth.

In a game, the player is the very thing, but what if there is a world without players?

There will be a being who can do that and has the potential.

Is that Hezabel?

‘There’s no way a gambler in my house would do that. ‘Isn’t it the same name?’

What came to Isaac’s mind was something to deny for now, but since the name came out of the angel’s mouth, it couldn’t be considered a coincidence. Also, it was strange that there was a Red Grail believer named Hesabel among their group, but the Sword of May did not pay any attention to it.

‘Due to my appearance or changes in history, I am no longer important… … Maybe they decided it was better to stay alive. Or that the red chalice is protecting you?’

In that case, it is understandable that the mirror maid went out of her way to place Hesabel next to Isaac. It may be that the dancer wants to be eaten, but Hesabel is an important key to the Red Grail.

Nimlot continued speaking, not knowing that Isaac was preoccupied with other thoughts.

“Anyway, Elil has approved the split ceremony, so it is none of our business to know what happens in the Red Grail Club, which has now become South and South.”

Nimlot’s words were words that could have upset the Grail Knights, who had left to retrieve Elil’s stolen heart. However, it also meant that he was displeased with the intervention of the Code of Light.

“For the same reason, it is also unacceptable to try to intervene because we were once under the Code of Light. “Please convey this clearly to the Sword of May.”

“lady. I don’t dare to go against the lady’s wishes… … .”

Isaac wondered how he could logically persuade her.

“Let’s say the Sword of May has nothing to do with it. Then why did you allow the Immortal Church to access the sacred land of Elion? “Did you not know that the Immortal Church attempted to resurrect Elil in an unclean form?”

“Elil?”

Nimlot frowned as if wondering what he was talking about.

“Resurrect Elil as undead? By what means? “That can’t happen.”

Isaac was dumbfounded. He clearly saw it and knew that it was possible, but Nimlot said, ‘That’s impossible,’ so he had nothing to say.

“For that to be possible, Elil must accept it, but would he consent to being resurrected as an undead? “That makes a mockery of His will.”

“… … So, it is possible with Elil’s consent.”

However, Nimlot believed that this could never happen, so he allowed the invasion of the Buddhist Order.

Hoping that they will destroy Isaac and his group together.

However, within the game, Elil was resurrected in an unclean form, which led to the destruction of the Elil Kingdom.

Isaac added an assumption to that fact.

Now, Elil may not be sane enough to agree to being resurrected as an undead.

‘I’m slowly starting to become curious about the inside story of this incident.’

Originally, Isaac had planned to meet Elil in order to lead the Dawn Army of Elil Kingdom to participate in the war. However, Elil’s silence was behind the kingdom’s refusal to participate in the Dawn Army and repeated civil wars, and behind Elil’s silence was the suspicion of imprisonment of the bright angel Calurien.

And what if the reason for the confinement was not treason but a reason of its own?

‘Even so, I have to meet Elil. If we fail to attract Elil to the Dawning Army, the Baekje Empire’s Dawning Army will have no choice but to proceed at the worst level of difficulty.’

Anyway, the closer I got to Elil, the closer I got to the truth.

Since the Lady of the Lake also seemed to be passively cooperating with Kalurien, Isaac thought it would be better to approach the solution to the problem through her.

“I don’t think the Sword of May, which receives orders from lighthouse keeper Ruaddin, will say ‘yes’ to just a few words from a paladin.”

Nimlot nodded. She seemed to hesitate for a moment and then spoke solemnly.

“Otherwise, to the Sword of May… … .”

“I heard it myself, and I think talking about cats is counterproductive.”

Isaac hit the ball just in case.

Nimlot frowned at those words.

It seems that Nimlot was the one who revealed Julrich’s identity to Lyanna.

“I also don’t want to touch the painful wound of the May Sword. “But isn’t there another way?”

“more… … How about a conciliatory approach?”

“Conciliatory method?”

Isaac nodded.

“The Sword of May seems to be ‘misunderstanding’ Kalurien. So, if Cal Lurien comes and persuades her well, she might be convinced and move on, right?”

Nimlot looked at Isaac with a doubtful expression.

“What you’re saying is that the assassin is approaching the target, and the target is to come in front of the assassin and persuade him by saying, ‘The reason you want to kill me is misunderstanding.’”

“The problem is that the assassin will get to his target no matter what. And given my situation, I also cannot defy the sword of May. So wouldn’t it be better for Calurien to step forward from the beginning instead of continuously sending monsters to interfere?”

Nimlot listened to Isaac and fell into thought for a moment.

It is unlikely that the wise Calurien will hear these words and step forward, saying, ‘Yes, I understand.’ But no matter how much time passes, we are destined to meet in the end.

Since angels of other faiths are causing trouble in heaven, this problem can ultimately be resolved only when the angels themselves come forward.

“good night. “I will do as you say.”

***

[So is this the result of your persuasion?]

Isaac looked away, ignoring the gaze of the Sword of May. However, it was difficult for him to avoid the gaze of the 10-meter-diameter eyes floating in the sky and looking at him.

Isaac confessed to Nimlot the night before and offered a compromise.

Nimlot also conveyed Isaac’s words clearly to Calurien, and it was clear that Calurien took his opinion seriously. He came to him as soon as the sun rose to welcome the sword of May.

With approximately 10,000 knights of Elil, all kinds of bizarre magical creatures, and golems whose every joint was constantly subject to a storm of magical energy.

That wasn’t the only problem.

On the right wing of this strange large army was Nimlot, the second great angel of Elil, and on the left wing was a knight wearing a light blue lion-shaped helmet. It was clear that the lion helmet belonged to the lion knight, the third famous angel of Elil.

And in the center back row, an old wizard floating in the air was watching them. Even at first glance, he looks like he’s a wizard, with a long beard, a conical hat, fluffy robes, and a long staff.

It was truly the prototype of a wizard.

That old man must be Kalurien, the first great angel of Elil.

Isaac didn’t know what to say when three bright angels appeared in front of him, making it difficult for him to breathe just by facing one.

Is this what it feels like to have a typhoon, volcanic eruption, and tsunami happening all at the same time right before your eyes? There are many angels that you only see once in your life, but Isaac was seeing too many.

‘But we also have talent who can generate angel-like power.’

Isaac glanced at Ethelred. Ethelred looked like she was going into cardiac arrest when she saw so many angels, but she stood anyway.

When he made eye contact with Isaac, he cautiously opened his mouth.

“Teacher, I respect you, but… … “I don’t respect you enough to judge it wise to fight three angels at the same time.”

“You are wise. your majesty.”

Since the king of Elil is not swayed by personal emotions, the future of Elil is bright.

Isaac turned his gaze to look at the SSS-class vampire Hesabel, a national hero who had been prophesied to stop the Great Reign of the Code of Light in the future. Surprisingly, Hesabel did not seem at all discouraged or afraid. Rather, she was laughing at the angels and raising the corners of her mouth.

“Those guys, they walked in on their own without knowing that all of this was actually Isaac’s trap and plot. “I heard those Elil guys are rusty from the bottom to their heads!”

“… … .”

“Come on, Isaac! “It’s time to ravage those guys!”

“… … .”

“Isaac?”

This one was running in the opposite direction from Ethelred. Walaika’s future was bleak.
