The Return of Apocalypses Tyrant - Chapter 68
Episode 68
– Now wait a minute…! The World Tree’s Staff is a Noble Phantasm of the Fairies. But they raised the conditions further!
The queen shouted in embarrassment at Namgung’s words.
-It’s burdensome to give up a Noble Phantasm to get one contractor… but what more do you want?
“You have to do the calculation right away. One contractor? That’s not it. It is to find a way to escape from the crisis of extinction. Besides, I decided to return the wand after a year, so you don’t lose anything, right?”
-That’s….
“Then it wouldn’t be enough to give up all the treasures I have, let alone a single staff. is not it?”
The queen was unable to provide a rebuttal.
“Not only do you want to escape the crisis of extinction, but a wizard with the highest quality wants to join you. “It’s truly a blessing in disguise.”
-…What do you want?
As if she had acknowledged that she could no longer win the argument with Namgoong, she asked for a suggestion first.
“Don’t worry too much. I’m not going to ask you for a sword or weapon. In that case, other clans will rise up.”
-Thank you so much.
The queen sighed softly and shook her head.
“Dad, don’t push them too hard.”
It was then.
Somin, who had been sleeping, seemed to wake up and yawned lowly.
“It seems like my dad always tries to put me to sleep whenever something happens. In the end, I am the one who will make the contract, but I feel uncomfortable treating the queen like that, so what should I do?”
-under. Haha… no. You said it was Miss Somin, right? Nice to meet you. My name is Memel, Queen of the Fairies.
The queen noticed Namgung’s concern and hurriedly approached Somin, stopping him.
“hello.”
-Namgoong did nothing wrong. We are in a position where we should actually ask for a favor.
“Hmm… really?”
-sure. sure. So don’t misunderstand.
[Wow… I can’t believe you can roast and boil the Fairy Queen of the world this way. I really respect you, Namgung.]
Looking at her, Gyu Ryu gave Namgung a thumbs up and whispered to her.
“The villain is my role, and from now on, it’s Somin’s job.”
Namgung said, shaking off the sticky paper.
“Then that’s it. Now he talks to me. No matter what my father says, the bond between me and the fairy people is important. If you don’t like it, it’s okay to refuse. Like I said, I have no intention of leaving Korea.”
‘You were all listening.’
He smiled bitterly at his daughter’s words.
-Don’t say things like that. We are more than welcome. Not only do they have legendary magic qualities, but they also have thought magic… There is no race that is as good at manipulating the spirit body as the fairies.
The Queen took a quick look at Namgoong and then spoke to Somin.
At that moment, Namgoong stretched out his index and middle fingers, pointed to his eyes, and then pointed to her.
It means that you are watching.
Or it means to do it yourself.
The queen swallowed her saliva without realizing it at his gesture, which had many complex meanings.
-How about we talk calmly first? There are some clans whose first auction hasn’t ended yet… Ah! Okay, let’s go take a look at the cane. You’ll love it.
The queen clapped her hands and gestured to the three great nobles.
Ssssssssssssssss—!!
As the four fairies chanted a spell at the same time, the surrounding scenery changed once again.
“This is…”
The scenery of the lakeside disappeared and a cave made of tree roots appeared in a dense forest.
Somin looked around curiously.
[Wow… the queen herself invites humans to the fairy world. This really happened today.]
-Humans don’t care. I just don’t like the idea of a smelly yaksha coming here.
[Oh, is that so? What should I do? Did you come? Giggles.]
Gyu-ryu covered his mouth mischievously and smiled at Nelya.
Just-!!
[…Kek!!]
Namgung stuck a honey chestnut on the top of his head.
“Stay calm.”
-ĦĿغŦŊ… ϪØυ!!
While Gyu Ryu was watching him, the queen chanted a spell.
“Somin. “Can you understand that spell?”
“huh. There’s nothing special about calling it an order, right? “I’m just saying, open the door to the flower garden.”
-Nonsense. No matter how great your magical qualities are, do you understand the archaic language of the fairies?
Nelya, who was next to her, looked at Somin with a surprised face.
“Right? “You’re starting to like it more and more, right?”
-Ha haha… I see.
Nelya, who was the first to express her refusal, smiled awkwardly and answered Somin.
-Because being able to learn magic means being the person closest to the soul. In fact, I am lending you the staff not because of its magical qualities, but because of her thought arts.
It’s
a good ….
Squeak…
The wooden door inside crashed! With a sound, the lock was released and the door opened.
-Please come in.
Following the queen’s guidance, the southern palaces entered the palace.
“Wow…”
The entrance to the cave was small, but once inside, a huge cavity appeared, as if another world had unfolded.
Inside, everything from dried medicinal herbs and potions to various tools were on display.
However, there was something else that caught their eye beyond all the other items.
It is the Noble Phantasm of the fairies.
“World Tree Staff.”
Namgung spoke in a low voice.
The staff standing in the center of the cavity had two stems intertwined in a spiral, and a sapphire jade was encrusted at the end.
“It’s amazing…”
From the outside, it didn’t seem like anything special, but the moment they saw the information on the item, everyone was left speechless.
Numbering 6.
Name: World Tree Staff
Grade: Legendary (First)
▶ A Noble Phantasm of the Fairy tribe that builds the Fairy World.
▶ Amplifies the user’s magical power.
▶ When casting magic, magic power consumption is reduced.
▶ You can use level 1 shield magic.
▶ Limit: Once a day
▶ It is said that the magic of the fairy race is contained in the sapphire of the staff.
▶ There is a rumor that if you are recognized by the wand, you can meet a special fairy.
As expected from a legend, it was packed with various effects.
‘There are very few items that both amplify magic power and consume magic power at the same time… and it’s the magic of the fairy race.’
Namgung nodded with an expression of agreement.
‘It’s a success.’
Being able to obtain a legendary item at the end of the second door was an opportunity to immediately reverse the gap with the Revelators.
But it wasn’t simply to catch up with the revelators.
‘If it’s a level 1 shield spell, even Alek Traman won’t be able to penetrate it at this point.’
The shield magic of the [Goblin Lord’s Bracelet] that Somin was currently wearing was level 5.
You might not know it from small mobs, but in fact, level 5 shield magic was ridiculously weak to use in boss battles.
However, it is different if it is a level 1 shield.
Even though it was only once, being protected from a fatal crisis was like a cheat that guaranteed safety.
This applies not only to monsters, but also to people.
“What is a special fairy?”
However, unlike him, Somin seemed to pay more attention to the last option in the description of the cane.
-It is literally a special fairy. It’s a story passed down to the royal family who guarded the wand from generation to generation… but we’re not sure.
The queen answered her question.
-How do you feel? Do you like it? Like I first suggested, I’ll lend you the cane for a year. And if you find another way to replace the spirit tree, you can continue to use the wand thereafter.
It was a fairly unconventional proposal.
Because that meant almost the same thing as giving me a cane.
“There is no reason to turn down this level of compensation. “If it’s okay with me, I’d like to get help.”
-great.
In response to Somin’s answer, the queen was busy trying to make a contract with her.
Now that she had lost Jordi, she must have felt like grasping at straws.
Woouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
the queen waved her hand over the wand in the cavity with tears in her eyes and the wand slowly separated and gradually became smaller in size.
– Please handle it carefully….
Somin
grabbed the flying stick.
Hwaaaaa!!
Then a sharp wind began to rise around her.
“uh?”
The wind slowly began to take on color and form again.
-…!!!
At that sight, the queen looked at her with an expression of disbelief.
-Wig… Rasion?
I felt cautious just saying that name, as if it were noble.
“Who is that?”
-Fairy of the World Tree. She is the first fairy and the beginning of the fairy race.
Paaah—!!!
“Aye!!!”
However, the wind that seemed to take shape for a moment quickly dissipated with a loud noise, like a balloon bursting.
Hiccup –
Somin, whose hair was stretched out mercilessly and became a mess, looked at them with a puzzled face.
▶ We want the World Tree’s staff to be with the user.
▶ The abilities of the World Tree’s staff are adjusted downward according to the user’s capabilities.
“What was that just now?”
-It looks like the wand has accepted you.
“Is that so? “The appearance of the wand has changed.”
Somin looked a little glum in response to the queen’s answer. As expected, the cane, which had become smaller to fit her height, looked a bit flimsy compared to the first time.
-Don’t worry. It’s just that I can’t bring out all the power of the staff yet. I’ll have a chance to meet her someday.
Somin nodded at the queen’s words.
“how is it? Do you like the new contractor?”
Namgung asked.
-I’m not satisfied with it. Namgoong: I think what you said is correct.
The queen said without being able to take her eyes off Somin.
-We were in a situation where we had to grab your pants and ask for help.
Wooooow…!
It was then.
When the queen raised her hand, numerous fairies, led by three great nobles, began to surround Somin.
-If you are recognized by the Fairy of the World Tree, that means you have the qualifications to be recognized by the Fairy Tribe.
“This…?”
The sound of hundreds of fairies flapping their wings was enough to hurt my ears.
-We don’t know.
Good!!
The loud sound of wings stopping in an instant.
The little fairies knelt down on one knee and bowed their heads towards her.
-The fairies will be with you now.
said the queen.
* * *
[Now, the yakshas and fairies will be excluded from the proxy auction. Other clans will probably cause an uproar… Well, the queen can take care of that.]
– Don’t try to place the blame on others. I’m very greedy because I’m afraid someone might be Muhwi’s child.
[Clark. sorry. I keep forgetting that we were on the same boat until the Octagon War started.]
Gyu-ryu grinned at the queen’s words.
While Somin watched Nelya prepare the portal, Namgung met the queen separately.
-After you two pass away, I will notify other clans. Yaksa and fairies will probably have to give up a lot in return for being the first contractor.
“It will be worth it. Gyu-ryu, you too, go and help Nelya.”
[I understand what you said!!]
As Gyu-ryu left with a bow, the queen looked at Namgung.
-Is this the deal?
“then?”
-I thought you were a very thorough person, but you are surprisingly limited in some areas.
“What do you mean?”
The moment Namgung was about to leave, the queen caught him.
-Didn’t you say that one cane wasn’t enough?
Namgung smiled bitterly at her question.
“It was like that. But my daughter told me not to push you too hard. Let’s pretend it never happened.”
-That’s not bad, but… How about I give you one piece of information? I thought it would be a good idea to leave you in debt.
“Ode me? “I don’t think you have such great information that you would be indebted to me when you didn’t even know the future of extinction.”
At that moment, the queen smiled strangely.
-You know the future. But since we wouldn’t have been around in that future… maybe it’s information that will never be known in that future.
“What is that?”
She pointed to Namgung’s wrist.
-You met Woo.
“…?!!”
Namgung couldn’t hide his expression at her unexpected words. He turned his head, thinking he was going to miss it, but the queen had already read his emotions.
“You know Wu?”
-That’s right.
“This is hard to believe. I didn’t even know clearly about Woo (无). But you, the deputy clan below, know Wu?”
The queen nodded slowly.
-It is natural that the Aspects do not know. They are omnipotent, but not omniscient.
At that moment, Namgung felt strange.
This is because she was saying the same thing she had thought when she first returned.
The only loophole in the status.
Therefore, he was now using that part persistently.
-We follow orders from the Aspects, but that doesn’t mean we are under them.
“What do you mean?”
She said.
-The Dalija clan was born from Wu.
