Infinite Mage - Chapter 968
Simultaneous Event (3)
Adolf XIII and the royal family escaped from the underground bunker.
The royal family was extremely displeased when the ceiling collapsed, but there was no time to complain.
“What happened? There’s a battle going on in the capital that the king doesn’t know about. “Please call the people involved in this matter right now.”
“But right now, resolving the situation is the priority…
“Uncle.” There was anger in Adolf XIII’s eyes.
“Yes, Your Highness.”
“I am the king. “What good is a nation if the royal authority is not restored no matter how much war there is?”
It was not unknown for the nervousness of someone who had just become king, but that made it difficult.
‘Everyone refused.’
The fact that he did not respond to the call even though he sent a high-ranking official was proof that Adolf XIII was not trusted.
Robbins, the younger brother of Adolf XIII and the first in line, said.
“Your Majesty, the people already think of you as a great king. If the people follow, politicians will follow, and eventually, it will be easy for the working-level officials of each organization to give in.”
“Hmm.”
Anyway, it was nice to hear.
“It is also a great opportunity that the jihadist army is stationed in Bashka. If we make Tormia the center of a world war, we will be able to receive huge amounts of support from other countries.”
The royal family agreed.
“you’re right. In particular, a large amount of money must be placed on the southern continent. “Aren’t we acting as a shield?”
Adolf XIII nodded.
“I think the same thing. Now that I think about it… they say someone from the Ivory Tower is here.”
“This is Oh Dae-seong Ariane Sirone of the Unified Space Management Department. “He is from his own country and plays a major role in the philanthropy and world war of our times.”
“What is fraternity?”
Adolf XIII did not believe in what he could not see.
“Anyway, please treat me with the utmost respect. “It doesn’t matter how much money it costs.”
In any case, if it was recognized by the Ivory Tower, it could be covered with subsidies from other countries.
“All right. But before that, there is one thing that needs to be resolved.”
“solve?”
Robbins narrowed his eyes and said.
“I am the 127th-ranked pony in the direct line.”
“Hmm.”
Anger also appeared on Adolf XIII’s face.
“Oh Dae-seong and Pony, who are currently here, studied together at the magic school. If she captures Sirone first…
the royal family, who had a terrifying imagination, shouted.
“You must kill him! Didn’t you see it before? I cast the spell without hesitation. The reason he gave up his throne was probably in order to survive immediately. “Now that the city is stable, they will definitely do something.”
Adolf XIII rested his chin.
“But is there anything else I can do? “It is difficult to recruit 1-star Ivory Tower residents, much less the Five Stars.”
“I don’t know, maybe they’ll use the beauty system at least.” It was a remark that lowered the authority of the royal family, but if the target was a pony, it was a different story.
“Have you had a feeling since long ago? This is a woman who even went to world beauty pageants to join the royal family. This is something you do when you know that your appearance is outstanding. This time too, I will not hesitate to do anything.”
Finally, the possibility of overthrowing the throne became realistic.
“…Can you do it? The Magic Association will not help us, and military command has now been taken over by the Crusade. “If we don’t kill him for sure, we’ll be the ones to suffer.”
Robbins said.
“I have a solution. “They are using criminals.”
“It’s a prison. But isn’t the Magic Association also managing camps for Class A and higher criminals?”
“We have the right person for you at Inferno, the western prison.”
I had no idea that the card I had prepared for because I might one day be in a situation where I would have to kill my father or brother would be used like this.
The royal family asked curiously.
“Inferno? “No matter how vicious it is, it would still be B-class, right?”
“That’s true… but
there’s no need to tell you that you’re not incarcerated because you committed a crime.
“I can guarantee your skills. He is the son of Gunzo Bedium, the world’s greatest hitman. “I also graduated from the same magic school as Shirone Pony.”
“If it’s Gunjo Bedium, it’s the black line?” It was a name that made royals tremble just by hearing it.
‘The son of such a person is trapped in the inferno? No, how did Robbins know him before that…
The royal family’s faces turned pale for a moment, but they soon regained their composure.
‘Well, it’s natural.’
Anyone in the top 10 in the immediate hierarchy had the potential to become king and each had a card of their own.
‘Let’s not show it. ‘Right now, getting rid of the pony comes first.’
No danger could compare to the crisis that she might capture Sirone.
Adolf XIII’s expression did not change.
Of course, as you know, he was a king.
“good night. Don’t leave the pony gun to you, Robbins. “But it’s something that needs to be dealt with clearly.”
“yes. “Don’t worry, Your Majesty.”
Just as Robbins was lowering his head, a sound was heard outside the door.
“The Great Master of the Ivory Tower requests an audience.”
It was an urgent voice, and the royal family was agitated.
‘Is it too fast?’
From Tormia’s point of view, it was exciting, but accidents always follow good things hidden behind them.
“Take it with you.”
As soon as the command was given, Robbins left through the back door and the front door opened.
Adolf XIII personally got up and welcomed Sirone.
“welcome. The first king sees the star in the ivory tower.”
Feeling sincerity in their actions and tone of voice meant that they were earnest.
“yes. “This is Sirone, the Five Saints of the Ivory Tower.”
“I’m sorry for being shabby. As you can see, there was no panic after experiencing a big commotion.”
‘What a fuss.’
Although he may not have known how many people had died, Sirone did not show it and sat down at the table.
The maids brought out a hastily transported luxury car.
“Of course we should have a banquet, but we don’t have time to prepare…
“That’s enough.”
I didn’t want to waste time.
“The reason I came is to hear a vision from the new king of Tormia. “Because humanity is currently in a precarious situation.”
“of course.”
As if something was coming, Adolf XIII immediately adjusted his posture.
“The Kingdom of Tormia achieved an unprecedented victory in today’s world war. They annihilated the demons and drove out the giants. “This is an achievement achieved through the combined efforts of the temple and the people of Tormia.”
Sirone passed on for now.
“We will announce this historic moment to the world. With Tormia as the central point, humanity will be revived. Star of the Ivory Tower, please leave that role to me.”
‘Adolf XIII.’ His real name is Adolf Thénard and he is 44 years old.
Sirone knows his activities until the age of 22 through Omega.
‘He has been ambitious since childhood, and his problem-solving style is, on average, quick, secret, and cruel.’
Adolf XIII hinted.
“Tormia will also do everything she can, that is, with all her heart and soul, to help Odaesung.” This could be said to be blatant, but Sirone recalled Guffin’s words.
-Listen to everyone’s story.
“I understand first.”
Adolf XIII sighed.
‘what? They say the people in the ivory tower are eccentric, but they’re actually hot guys, right?’
He said, hiding his heart.
“If you need anything, just let me know. “It doesn’t matter what.”
“no. Since I heard the vision, I will go. But where is the pony? “I don’t think it’s here.”
The royal family’s expressions hardened slightly, and Sirone did not miss that momentary change.
“Can I call you? “I have something to tell you personally.”
“Of course I have to follow it. Pony is truly a brave royal. You’re probably going out and doing your own work. As soon as I get back, I’ll meet Oh Dae-seong… Ugh!”
The moment I looked at Sirone’s face, electricity ran down my spine.
It feels like I’m being penetrated by gaze.
‘What’s happening all of a sudden?’
Regardless of political or social circles, poker faces are common, but this was the first time I felt observed to this extent.
Sirone asked.
“What are you hiding?” Adolf XIII, with a perfect smile, opened his mouth.
“You’re hiding it. How could I tell a lie to the stars of the ivory tower?”
Sirone said with a grin.
“I still haven’t broken that habit.”
“yes?”
“You have a unique smile when you lie.”
“It’s absurd. “Smile all the time.”
“But in certain situations, I close my eyes once and then open them. Because of memories imprinted in my childhood. “You once told a lie and got hit hard by your predecessor, right?”
While the hall was filled with silence, Adolf XIII’s uvula was swallowed.
‘How do you know that?’
This is a fact that no one knows except his father and himself.
‘Even if my father were alive, would I still remember him?’
It wasn’t such a big deal that even I had forgotten about it, but how could Sirone know?
“I know you put in a lot of training to have the perfect smile. But there is just one thing I haven’t practiced. Well…
Sirone pointed at him.
“How many people would be able to feed the prince of Tormia honey chestnuts?”
Adolf XIII’s fist on his knee trembled.
‘Is Oh Dae-seong of the Integrated Space Management Department a ghost?’
It is not insight or analysis.
‘It’s such a trivial thing. Even a spirit-type wizard would have to wander in my depths for a month to find it.’
I felt as if my soul had been stripped bare.
“I’ll give you one last chance. “What are you hiding?”
Adolf took a gamble.
“haha. “I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
The eyes of Adolf XIII, who was smiling and sweating, closed again.
Inferno, a prison west of Baska.
Pony arrived after receiving an urgent telegram and handed the manager a document with the royal seal.
“This way.”
There is no subject under heaven whom a king cannot rule, and the king of every nation has the power to draw up an indulgence.
‘You took on an unpleasant task.’ Pony
, who was preparing to leave Basuka,
received an urgent call.
The message was to release the criminals from Inferno because the manpower necessary for the restoration of the country must be mobilized.
I complied obediently because I knew there was a shortage of manpower, but I felt skeptical as I was very disappointed in the authorities.
“You can go here.”
The gloomy underground facility of Building E, the deepest part of Inferno, welcomed her.
It was a place where special criminals were imprisoned, and they were all vicious people.
‘What kind of talent are you looking for in a place like this?’ She walked down the long hallway, promising herself that once this matter was taken care of, she would return to Al Feas Magic School without any regrets. A woman’s moans were heard from the room at the far end.
I know that sleeping together is impossible, but the man’s breath escaped through the woman’s irritated voice.
‘What kind of child are you?’
Since they say they are talented people, it is a self-evident fact that they are prisoners who receive special treatment.
But her voice, already filled with disgust, could not help but become cold.
“Prisoner number 3824. Designated for special probation. come out.”
The moaning suddenly stopped.
‘Special protection?’
It is one of the five keywords promised to Prince Robbins, and its meaning is… Kill whoever comes to you.
‘It’s time.’
The guard’s voice was heard from the ceiling.
“I will disable the magic control device in Building E for 30 seconds. “Anyone acting suspiciously while the siren is sounding will be immediately executed by royal order.”
Immediately I heard a siren and felt the magic control device turn off.
“Who else but my brother?”
Pony could no longer bear the harsh voice coming from the criminal camp.
“Me and you son of a bitch.”
The moment I turn the key given to me by the guard as if it might break and open the door.
“Oops!”
A hand flew out of the darkness and grabbed Pony’s neck.
bang! The pony was unable to resist even when it was thrown into the wall of the camp with a sound.
“Tsk! This bastard…!”
The moment I was about to cast the spell, an electric shock filled my entire body.
“Huh oh oh!”
“Shh.”
A familiar man with messy hair brought his face closer and put his index finger to his lips.
Pony’s eyes opened wide.
“you?”
Electric Monster Liken.
“what?”
Lycan also raised the corner of his drugged mouth as if he was interested.
“Pony? A long time?”
“You you bastard! “Let go of this!”
The woman waved the license without even hiding her naked body.
“brother! What is this girl? Could it be that you called another woman besides me? When is it just me… Wow!”
As soon as Lycan waved his hand, the woman’s face exploded with a loud popping sound.
‘A huge shock.’
“Well, you were royalty too. What a pity. Still, be proud. It means that you have grown to the point where you can become a threat.”
Lycan laughed, showing his rotten teeth.
“die.”
Pony’s eyes widened as electricity wrapped around the hand that was strangling her neck.
‘Is that??????
Behind Lycan’s back, the figure of someone familiar was shining golden light.
‘Sirone?’
