Regressor of the Fallen Family - Chapter 437
Episode 437
“…I just hope that I can build a magic tower in a sunny location and work proudly.”
It sounded plausible at first glance, but Logan immediately frowned.
If the goal of the Kassel Tower, with the Grand Mage at its head, was to come out to the sun, why did it provoke the empire and the Holy Kingdom? Even if there was a redemption with the imperial family, it would have been easy to resolve it somehow and build a magic tower.
“…I guess you don’t want to have a proper conversation.”
Logan still remembered. The devastation created by Emperor Baros in his previous life.
And after seeing Jibrick Kassel’s memories, I learned that it was the magic circle of the Kassel Magic Tower that required a large amount of sacrifices.
Judging from that, there was probably a Kassel Magic Tower behind Emperor Baros in his past life.
There must have been some purpose, and that purpose would most likely have been Zibrik Kassel’s life or a repetition of what he had done.
‘Either way is the worst, but it may be for a different purpose now.’
I asked this question out of curiosity, but I never thought I would get such an insincere answer.
But the expression on the old man’s face was calm.
“Is there a more difficult goal to pursue when you are wandering around, wanted by the two great powers of the continent?”
“Hmm, if you hadn’t done something like that in the first place, you wouldn’t have been wanted.”
“Hehe, Your Majesty is mistaken about that.”
hmm?
“The imperial family of the empire and the Holy Kingdom were groups that were hostile to the Magic Tower from their inception. This means that if we had just stayed quiet, they would have attacked us.”
The secret history of the imperial family, Zibrik Cassel, and the Nine Great Gods, descendants of the ancient great mage Taron Ares.
Those who didn’t know the inside story might have tilted their heads, but Logan understood it right away.
Of course, I couldn’t show it.
“…What does it mean?”
“…It is a story that belongs to secret history even in ancient times. How can I tell you this story so that you can form an alliance?”
Tapju’s slow tone of voice was annoying.
Should I listen to stories I already know in order to act?
No way.
“…I read in a ‘book’ that the magic saint Zibrik Cassel was attacked by the descending apostles of the Nine Great Gods and received serious, irreparable injuries. I guess that was true. Then, the imperial family was part of the ruled side. Is it?”
Words that spit out only part of the truth that is known and end ambiguously.
At those words, the tower owner’s eyes sparkled again.
“It seems like such a book really exists. However, let me correct one thing you already know, Your Majesty.”
With those words, a dark red energy rose like a haze from the tower owner’s body.
“The apostles of the false god were defeated by ‘him’ at that time. And their divinity was so greatly damaged that their owners were unable to send apostles for hundreds of years. However, they still gave an oracle and ordered the extermination of those who followed ‘him’. “That’s how much they fear ‘him.’”
A kind of madness was felt in the tone of the tower owner, who put special emphasis on the word “him.”
false god. them. Him.
His words revealed everything about what the Kassel Magic Tower thinks of the 9th Minister and Zibrik Kassel. It is similar, only the object is different….
‘…faith.’
Logan, who found a loophole in the Cassel Magic Tower in an unexpected place, smiled faintly.
“Hmm, I also saw the identity of the Nine Great Gods in a ‘book’, but honestly, it’s hard to believe. They say they are from a different race… and even if that were the case, why would they be afraid of people who are already dead?”
A bait I threw gently.
It must have worked, as the top owner’s face turned red for a moment.
However, he soon made eye contact with Logan, paused for a moment, and recovered his surging magic power with an expression that seemed as if nothing had happened.
“I guess I said a lot of unnecessary things. But let me say one thing again, Your Majesty.”
A smile and a calm voice.
“He is ‘immortal.’ And what he says is true. You had better take note of what is written in that book.”
Except for his eyes shining with greed for a book that didn’t exist, he looked the same as before. Of course, Logan had already gotten a lot of hints from just that momentary change.
‘I thought it might have changed as thousands of years have passed…’
As the ancient Sword God had worried, it seemed that the Kassel Magic Tower had not given up on its goal of reviving its progenitor.
So, is the reason why Lee Jae is so cooperative now is because he knows that he is descended from him?
To use yourself as a sacrifice for resurrection like the soul of that damned ancestor?
Just thinking about that thought made him want to stab the person in front of him, so Logan controlled his facial muscles that were about to stiffen and forced a smile.
“Well, this sounds too random to me. I think our conversation went astray a lot, Tapju.”
“Hmm… Well, if you don’t trust me, how about handing over that useless book first? Hehe.”
Logan tried to change the flow of the conversation, but Tapju’s obsession with books seemed to be worse than he thought, and the conversation went back to the beginning.
Am I just making up words that don’t exist for no reason?
Logan sighed inwardly, realizing that he was not very talented at improvisation.
“Why do you want the booklet so much? Even though it is a relic of the founder, I don’t think what is written in it is much different from what you already know…” “
Unfortunately, many of the traditions were lost due to the actions of the gods. The true savior of mankind. His great deeds were erased and only false gods prevailed, so those of us who followed him had no choice but to keep few records.”
Tapju sighed for a moment and continued speaking in an exasperated tone.
“In fact, there is almost nothing left other than the identity of the Nine Great Gods and records of his dignity. There are so few records of the person who fought for humanity until his gray eyes and black hair turned red!”
‘what?’
Gray eyes and black hair…?
Logan’s eyes lit up as he realized a strange fact amidst the passionate speech the tower owner gave with his eyes fluttering.
In Gibrik Kassel’s memories, he usually looked exactly like his ancestor, with red eyes and red hair. However, during battle, it would cover its entire body with dark gray magical power and demonstrate terrifying power.
But….
‘Do you know the opposite? Or, has the record been altered at all?’
That thought soon led to a guess.
‘Could it be that you don’t know the relationship between me and Zibrik?’
If so, you probably don’t know about the power of desire. It seemed that the information that the Kassel Magic Tower possessed might be less than expected.
Logan, who was inwardly delighted with the unexpected situation, suddenly looked puzzled.
‘No, if that’s the case.’
Why on earth…?
“Why did you approach me?”
oh.
Logan flinched as he blurted out his inner thoughts without realizing it.
“Why…? It was Your Majesty who invited me?”
“Oh, I’m sorry, but my bad relationship with the Kassel Magic Tower started before I got my hands on those artifacts, right?”
“Ah… That’s right, heulheul.”
It was a fantastic improvisation.
Logan praises himself internally.
“…Because signs of prophecy appeared in McLane.”
Top owner said something meaningful again.
“A prophecy?”
“Yes. This is a prophecy he left behind. That there will come a time when the gods will leave.”
A time when the gods left?
“Now the false gods will gradually lose their power. The children being born in McLane in recent years who are impervious to divine power are proof of this. And he predicted that this will begin with the appearance of a hero like your Majesty… You did it.”
…is hiding something.
Logan narrowed his eyes and glared at Topju, but Topju, who had knowingly or unknowingly provided him with a lot of information, was only showing a suspicious smile.
‘Are you talking about a time returner and not a hero? No, I guess that’s not it?’
Now, Logan was slowly getting the hang of it. About the power of the soul, which is inherently superior to aura or mana, and about a power that is similar to the power of the soul but is on a higher level.
The will of the gods to kill Yurok of the Sword God and the source of power used by the gods through Victor’s brand became more clear when compared with the power of desire.
The gods use a power ‘similar’ to the power of wish.
Yes. It’s a similar force.
‘It is the power to imprint one’s ‘will’ into reality as if it were an absolute soul.’
The power of the gods was similar to, but clearly different from, the power of the wishes of hundreds of millions of souls, whose exact amount was unknown.
‘Because of the history I distorted, the thoughts of the gods that exist in other dimensions were also distorted.’
So, the children born as a result of his changing history would no longer be influenced by his thoughts, or divine power. It was understandable that the gods were anxious because they could not kill him.
However, time regression is caused by the power of wish.
And Gibrik Cassel’s soul could not bear the power of that wish and disappeared. Even though that’s only part of it.
That kind of guy predicted the changes that occurred with his appearance using the metaphorical expression ‘the era when the gods left’?
‘Does that make sense?’
How much does Gibrick Kassel know about the Kassel Magic Tower and how much does he not know?
As questions arose again in my mind, the culprit smiled again right in front of my eyes.
“There is no need to make it complicated. We are just trying to watch around His Majesty, who will lead the era when the gods have left, and wait for the day when the prophecy will come true.”
Waiting.
‘They must be actively trying to move forward.’
After hearing that sinister voice, I thought of at least one way to check.
“If we’re going to form an alliance, shouldn’t we check each other’s skills?”
“What do you think is the reason why the Western border was recently breached? With the pathetic military forces of the 10 Western countries…”
Sneak.
Cassel Matapju’s voice, which flowed leisurely, stopped the moment Logan pulled the sword from his waist.
“…What does this mean, Your Majesty?”
Logan grinned, looking at the subtly sparkling brown eyes.
“Didn’t I tell you that I wanted to check your skills? I’m more curious about the personal strength of the tower owner than his power. It wasn’t long ago that he was severely beaten by another great mage, the emperor…” “…I
hope you will endure at least the desire to win for the sake of the cause. “I thought you were someone who knew how to do things.”
“Please think of it as a process for rebellion.”
“Isn’t this a trap to catch me?”
“Of course.”
Logan responded with a smile to the words of the tower owner with a stern expression, and immediately raised his visible spiritual power.
At the same time.
[There will be a commotion in the training hall, but don’t worry about it for a while!!]
In the few days it took to recover from the injury, the more mature spirit was passed on to all the allies in the castle.
To the great mage in front of me.
“…It’s surprising. Does an Auror Master use spiritual power like this? Hehe.”
Are great mages different?
‘Well, I guess I can find out about that now.’
Logan tilted his head for a moment, then smiled confidently and pointed his sword at the tower owner.
“How can this be enough?”
“…Heulheul. Let me hang out with you for a while.”
After that conversation, black energy and golden energy began to become intensely intertwined.
