Talent-Swallowing Magician - Chapter 288
Episode
28:
Even though one of his arms was cut off.
Black was indifferent. From the beginning, I knew very well what kind of personality Cromhel had.
Rather, it was Cromhel’s reaction that stirred his emotions.
‘You’re definitely different from Zereitz, who seemed like an idiot.’
Black truly felt like he had met the right person who could lead this great empire.
purple.
The majesty is so great that it feels a shame to even compare it to Zereitz.
What if it was Crown Prince Lung?
I probably made an immediate emotional judgment without even listening to what was said properly.
However, Cromhel was listening calmly and calmly.
Also, he is generous enough to say that he will overlook anything that is acceptable to him.
‘The person who will become the next crown prince is, of course, this person. There is only this person.’
Black continued his explanation while reminding himself that no matter what happens, he will make sure that Cromhel becomes the next Bower.
“…even the Golden Lion came forward, but in the end he failed to subdue Hyulyuran.”
Of course, Holiday itself has become a ruin where people can no longer live.
The mission was judged to be a failure because key people like Trang were missed.
After finishing all the explanations, Black bowed his head heavily.
“Hmm…”
Then Cromhel’s once sinister eyes turned complicated.
“You mean Elric stopped Jajaja’s army all by himself?”
What kind of army is Jajaja Army?
They had rarely failed so far, and even if they had, they were the elite of the elite, leaving behind only Pyrrhic victories.
It seems that his friend has become much stronger than he expected.
“Plus, you even had a battle with your father-in-law…?”
“Of course, he was not worthy of being compared to the Golden Lion.”
“That’s nonsense. “It’s really amazing that my father-in-law is interested.”
It was just as Cromhel said.
If Elric hadn’t caught the Golden Lion’s interest, Elric’s head would have been blown off long ago.
“By the way…”
Cromhel continued, trailing off.
“It’s true that even though my father-in-law was born, I failed. After all, I am a friend, but I am a friend.”
Regardless of the Golden Lion’s recognition of Elric, Elric ultimately achieved most of what he wanted.
This was exactly the problem.
“I guess it has to be said that the board was made that way….”
Hehehe!
As Cromhel said that, he burst out laughing lightly.
Although he felt bad for blocking him, he still didn’t feel bad about his friend’s success.
Of course, that doesn’t mean you can just keep smiling.
Cromhel stopped laughing for a moment, lost in thought, and called Director 1.
“black.”
“yes. majesty.”
“For the time being, don’t act rashly and just stay still. For now… let’s see how he moves for now.”
Cromhell slowly removed the sword from Black’s neck.
He decided to forgive Black.
The master named Elric Mervinger was Cromhel’s only recognized friend and archenemy in this empire.
“Also, keep an eye on Mervinger and Neresta’s movements.”
“All right.”
With those words, Cromhel left the ballroom.
The place is empty except for Chrome Hell.
Jump and jump!
“Elric is my friend.”
Only the sound of Cromhel’s footsteps echoed in the quiet ballroom.
“It’s true that I like you a lot, but… if you show up like this next time, I don’t know how it will end.”
There was only a smile of unknown meaning on his lips.
* * *
Rattling.
The carriage was heading toward the ecliptic, not south.
If everything went according to plan, I was going to go to the ‘Jewel Forest’ located in the south after finishing my holiday work.
‘Because the dragons must grow to complete the arrangements for spring.’
In order to complete the spring arrangement, Shina’s seal must be made into the spring seal. This was because the three dragons were immediately connected to Shina’s seal.
The Jewel Forest, which is classified as a major production area for all kinds of minerals, especially gems, is a perfect place to raise dragons.
That’s why I chose that place as my destination.
‘I’m putting off my plans for now.’
First of all, we decided that it would be right to calm down the political repercussions that would arise from this incident.
‘Anyway, I’m not fully used to the winter seal right now. It might be better to completely master this and move on.’
Mia was right.
Even if I tried to be greedy without fully digesting what was given to me, it would be too much or too little.
So in order to do this, I had to meet the remaining two people from the six winter chapters.
After thinking that, Elric closed his eyes and began to meditate.
It was to enter the inner world.
Once again, I had to cross the abyssal swamp where Hargan was located.
Whoa!
The inner world I entered that way.
Elric dipped into the swamp like before.
Since I knew this place was dangerous, I thought this time would be different.
but.
“…Failure again.”
Just like before, I lost consciousness and fainted.
And from reality back to the swamp.
After failing, I went from reality to the swamp again.
also.
Even after that.
.
.
I did that a few times.
Elric tried to cross the swamp of the abyss several times, but he failed each time.
Elric went back to where they were, thinking that he should talk to Winter Chapter 6.
Mia approached me asking why I came so quickly.
“Hargan. Have you met already?”
“no.”
“…?”
Although Mia rarely expressed her emotions.
He seemed like he couldn’t understand at the moment.
‘That’s the look I want to make.’
Elric sighed deeply.
“The reason is?”
“I couldn’t cross the swamp.”
The other 6 members also had similar expressions to Mia.
This was because, although the Abyssal Swamp was difficult, it was judged not to be so difficult that Elric could not completely reject it.
“Did you think you didn’t qualify?”
“No way. “If that were the case, we wouldn’t have brought it up first.”
“Is the way I crossed wrong?”
“If you step on the swamp…”
There were many guesses, but they were all useless.
Even if I tried to unleash my magic power to the maximum and put on a self-defense device, I still lost consciousness before that, and when I tried to fly over the swamp, I lost consciousness on the way and landed my head in the swamp.
I even bowed and said, ‘I’d like to meet you,’ but…
“Whew…”
The result was still the same.
I didn’t understand at all.
“In the end, they are ‘rejecting’ access from the other side…”
Is there something going on with Hargan?
“Aren’t you talking about it separately?”
Damir smiled bitterly and shook his head.
“It has been difficult to guess Hargan’s intentions since long ago. “Except for my lover Arceus.”
Elric sighed deeply.
It seemed like crossing the swamp would be difficult for a while.
‘There must be some way. Or maybe there was a reason.’
It seemed like I had to look for that first.
Then, Elric realized too late that he could not see any familiar faces among the group.
“But where has King Yulho gone? Now that I think about it, I don’t think you can see anything.”
Mia nodded silently.
“He fought the golden lion and suddenly disappeared.”
“What if it disappeared…?”
“It means he went into hiding.”
Nahatram added an explanation from the side.
“He looked like he was thinking a lot about something. “I didn’t think I should catch it, so I left it alone.”
Elric nodded, feeling like he knew what King Yulho was thinking.
Obviously, the voice I heard before gave me mixed emotions for some reason.
It seemed like he had already been thinking about going into retirement since then.
‘Did you get something?’
If so, it would have been surprising.
For someone like King Yulho to pioneer new territory, it will be difficult to guess where he will reach.
Elric seemed to know where that place was.
Semi-god.
King Yulho was trying to escape the frame of a mortal.
and.
All that progress will help him a lot too.
‘For now… shall we stop here for today?’
Elric gathered his thoughts and returned to reality.

Elric began to organize the things he had to do in the future.
‘For now, the evil family has been resolved.’
Since he personally wrote a letter and gave it to me, there shouldn’t be any major problems in getting to the family’s territory.
‘The problem is with the imperial family.’
Elric had already assumed that his actions had been revealed.
‘We have to make a plan before we arrive at the ecliptic. A plan that Mervinger and Neresta can use as an opportunity rather than a crisis.’
Around the time Elric’s head started spinning quickly.
“How was your uncle?”
Tasha asked in a quiet voice.
It was a question about her uncle, Jassa Bel Bahamut.
Although I abandoned the surname Neresta.
The Belle that Tasha remembers was an uncle who was very kind to her.
But I haven’t seen him in public since he had a big fight with Guy and left home.
That’s because I couldn’t see him properly this time either.
The fact that I couldn’t watch over him until the end as my nephew left a burden on my heart.
“he is.”
Elric didn’t know what to answer for a moment, so he thought for a moment and spoke briefly.
“He was a warrior.”
There was a lot I wanted to say.
To be honest, my impression of him was that he was a murderer, no more or no less.
Still, the desire to hold something in his hands remained strong in Elric until the end.
Elric had a strong feeling that it was similar to what remained inside him.
‘There’s no need to say bad things about him because he doesn’t exist anymore.’
I didn’t want to see Tasha’s eyes turn to disappointment.
“…is that so.”
A subtle smile appears on Tasha’s lips as if she doesn’t know.
Shake!
Suddenly the carriage stopped.
I wondered what was going on, but a slightly trembling voice came from the coach seat.
“Ta Tasha…!”
Did something happen again?
Or were the inspector general agents who thought they had ostracized them coming after them again?
The moment Elric and Tasha looked outside, their expressions hardened again.
It did not give off a sinister atmosphere like the agents of the Inspector General. Everyone was greeting them with a restrained posture and elegant movements.
It looked as if they had welcomed a noble guest.
However, the energy radiating from them could never be ‘corrected’.
A magic energy that makes your skin tingle.
The demons were standing right in front of the carriage.
