Chapter 175
Duke’s apprentice (2)
As the parallel lines of conversation come and go, you step aside to mediate.
Cailin, it’s not polite to ask for a free duel.
Nigel hit Cairin.
Student, Cairin is asking for a duel.
Raven looked at Sang-woo with the nuance, “Would you like to try it?”
What, are you trying to fight me? ’
Sang-woo understands what the master said just now.
‘I didn’t know why his face was stiff. ’
It wasn’t a greeting.
‘But fighting in the first place… Is there a grudge against me? Or a duel. ’
Sang-woo started to understand the nature of the situation.
He asked me himself.
“Do you want to fight me? ”
Cairin doesn’t understand Sang-woo’s words and looks at Nigel.
“Lord, I wonder what that disciple said. ”
He asks if you want to fight him.
“Yes, it is. ”
Cailin answers with confidence.
The message was conveyed, and Sang-woo asked.
“Then how will you fight? Right now?”
“I want to fight right now. ”
“You’ll regret this. ”
“I don’t regret it. ”
“I’m a little tough. ”
“He’s the heir to the Stormbringer Sword, of course. ”
“I don’t think it’s a woman. ”
“If you’ve only seen me as a woman, you’ve ignored me. ”
Cailin refuses to lose a word.
After speaking, Sang-woo felt that Cairin’s personality was not great.
‘Wow, you have a pretty face and a fiery personality. ’
But only if you want to.
Sang-woo nods.
“Okay, let’s do a duel. ”
His acceptance immediately passed, and Cairin smiled and replied with a meaningful smile.
“Very well, Lord. I would like to challenge this man here. May I use the training ground for a moment? ”
Too stiff for a granddaughter.
Nigel nods as if he’s in trouble.
Go ahead.
“Thank you. Come with me, then. ”
Cailin, turn around and leave the tangential room.
Sang-woo followed behind her at a late pace, listening to Nigel’s message.
“Come with me. ”
And Raven and Nigel saw that Cailin and Sang-woo.
The two eyes meet and shrug.
We should go, too, right?
Let’s go.
The two old brothers who stood up on the couch walked slowly and followed them.
* * *
Meanwhile, a few hours ago,
An imperial bedroom in the heart of the palace.
With the curtain down and all the windows closed, the room was illuminated with a sphere of Mana.
And a giant bed in the middle.
In the middle of that bed, the old Emperor of Urencia was sleeping like dead.
“ ……. ”
And Lucas is standing next to him in bed.
He glances at the blooming emperor’s face and avoids his position.
Pot!
Then he reappeared in a glamorous room.
There was a desk that looked like an office, and there were all kinds of books covered in gold on the wall.
It was small enough to be a library, and each of the books was so glamorous that it felt like an ornament.
And there was a man sitting in the office.
The frozen man with a neatly groomed beard lifts his head to his desk to see if he felt any Mana flow.
It’s Lucas in a nice suit.
The man who saw him smiled.
“Oh, how long has it been? Lucas.”
“Less than a few months. It’s been a long time.”
Lucas speaks fluent Eurencia.
The two of them, who were already quite close to each other, graciously shook hands on one side of the couch.
“Yes, what is it? You said you were busy on Earth. ”
“Now that I’ve settled things, I have less to worry about. But something happened. ”
“Work? What’s going on? ”
The man is surprised at Lucas’ slightly troubled expression and asks.
“Looks like the Tiberian portal’s been breached. ”
“Hmm? Does that make sense? ”
The man looked like he couldn’t believe it.
In fact, he hadn’t been there himself, but for decades, he knew Lucas’ ability to perfectly prevent Earthlings from entering and entering the Tiberian portal.
“I’m not sure. I didn’t see the breach through the portal. ”
“Hm, but this is how you got over the pain. ”
The man with the exact specs.
Lucas nods.
“You’re quick to notice. You’re the Grand Palace Wizard.”
Yes, it is.
The man in the Oval Office.
He was Duke Isaac Bismarck, the modern-day palace wizard and home of the Duke of Bismarck.
“It’s nothing. You’re meticulous and thorough, and you don’t visit without a reason. ”
Along with that, Duke Bismarck buries himself deep into the soft couch.
“Not a big deal. I thought it was something else. ”
His words seem to relax.
Lucas’ face changed.
“You need to be nervous. This may be the end of our control. ”
Yes, it is.
Those who have blocked the exchange of information by nature while monopolizing the portal between Tiben and the Earth.
Only in modern weapons engineering and managing technology exchanges, exchanges of supplies, resources, and talent have I benefited from.
Two people holding hands in the process.
No, it was entirely Lucas who held my hand.
He came to Duke Bismarck first, as if he knew.
Then, he was promised cooperation on the issue of handling supplies from the district through the Tiberian Portal, and the issue of finding talent.
Lucas and Bismarck have grown rapidly, sharing only the latest literature on both sides of the Earth and Taiwan.
Duke Bismarck was already a powerful family, but this made him one of the most powerful families in all of Urencia.
It was enough to enforce a government instead of a feeble emperor.
although, of course, the political struggle was escalating.
And to do that, it’s best to have control.
Bismarck also agreed with Lucas.
However, I didn’t feel it was very important.
The situation has already been greatly beneficial to them.
“We already have a new generation. That means we have enough room to push when new challengers show up for the right to vote. ”
“Yes. But our control will be weaker. ”
“No. Rather, we can make more progress by competing. Look how far the Eurencia Empire has progressed despite no competition. The combination of rifles and Manasik, and the creation of Martan, allowed one soldier to carry out dozens of soldiers’ missions during the Great Invasion. ”
Yes, it is.
The Eurencia Empire is only a relatively small region on the giant planet of Tiben.
They are trapped in a giant barrier, and they live only in that tiny lump of land.
Originally, dead water rots.
The Uruncian Empire, which did not acquire new resources from the outside, was not so strange as to have already perished during decades of war.
Why they were able to endure it.
It was because it constantly evolved in itself and maximized efficiency by raising the strength of one soldier by replacing outdated weapons.
And in the process, Duke Bismarck, who led all of this on the surface, was strongly supported by the people of the Eurensian Empire.
With this support, I was sweeping through enormous wealth to form an entrepreneurial merchant alliance based on global capitalism.
Of course, all this was because of Lucas’ help.
“And magic has made great progress in the algorithms of the Earth, and in the genetically modified crops of the Earth, we’re solving food resources by growing magic. I’m still like this, but I’m looking forward to the Empire of Urencia growing more gloriously in the future. ”
Bismarck was truly an anticipated face.
Although he had a strong appetite for power, he couldn’t help but want to see his home improve.
In addition, Tyburn is a much larger planet than Earth.
And there are no other countries here.
There is only one Empire in Urencia.
What if I could become the owner of this empire…?
‘God wouldn’t be jealous either. Even him.’
He was his father’s disciple, but he had already surpassed him and become almost a god.
Even if I couldn’t reach him with my skills, I wanted to beat him to the top from the other side.
That’s why he hoped that the Tiberian portal, as Lucas said, would be breached.
I wanted more connections between Taiwan and Earth.
And he was prepared and confident to take over the world at the center of that exchange.
‘Greedy fellow. Now get rid of your greed. ’
The Duke of Bismarck was not worthy of his inner Lucas.
He smiles brighter as if he didn’t want to get caught.
‘You’re too big. ’
And likewise, Lucas has long been aware of Duke Bismarck’s vile insides.
He saves that he won’t make it to the end.
I felt like blowing my head off right now.
In fact, that kind of power could still be available to him now.
‘… Not now. ’
But Lucas endured it.
Because the death of Duke Bismarck becomes a variable.
‘That day was soon. Bismarck, stay put until then. ’
When that day came, this wicked man could also be wiped out.
The two people who stared at each other with contradictory thoughts.
Lucas gets up first.
“Anyway, I understand. However, I won’t ask you to deal with the occupier if he’s found. I just need you to share some information. ”
“Well, that’s about it. I see.”
“And by the way, the emperor is still alive. ”
It’s not that the Emperor’s condition is severe, but the question of “It’s strange that he’s still alive.”
Duke Bismarck nods.
“Still useful. ”
“… Got it. ”
Lucas asks Duke Bismarck to shake hands with a button on his loose suit shirt.
“See you next time, then. ”
“I see. Come again. ”
Shake hands and pod! Lucas disappears.
He appears momentarily near the gate near the Duke of Bismarck.
Whether Sang-woo was near the culmination or not, monsters were swarming.
From there, he simply clears the way and reappears right past the barrier in the woods of the Tiberian portal.
Pot!
Then Lucas looks back for a moment.
The direction of the Yurencia Empire.
‘Please don’t have variables…. ’
There may be an intruder, but his mind is firmly convinced.
There must be intruders.
However, he also had another agenda, so he couldn’t just wander around the planet Tyburn.
‘I envy normal people like this. I wish I had two bodies. ’
Lucas sighed.
He quietly crosses the portal to return to Earth.
And unlike Sang-woo’s heart, who was so eager to be discovered, Lucas didn’t notice his existence, and what he realized was later.
* * *
Duke Raven’s training ground.
It was located in the backyard of Duke Raven.
It was already full of knights who worked hard on the smoke.
“Hiya!”
“Hot!”
Amphitheater
Caraca
Two men struggling with a wooden sword after wearing heavy protective equipment to protect their body or costume.
However, the duel was quite spectacular because it was a colorful sword technique.
Awakened and physically competent.
“Oh my, aren’t you the Awakener here? Do you have Awakenings here, too? What do you call it? ’
When Sang-woo tilted his head while focusing on the wrong part.
The knights who discovered their appearance shout.
“The Lord!”
“Enough, everyone! Plunge!”
Knights that have been stuck in a few seconds after saying that.
The fever was perfect.
“Raven Knights has assembled a third squad. Greetings, Lord!”
“Greetings, Lord! ”
Everybody got down on their knees and behaved.
While everyone is amazed at the stealing appearance.
Nigel disbanded them.
I have to use the training ground for a while, so rest.
“Yes, I understand! ”
The knights quickly sweep the arena with their broomsticks, putting all the equipment they used in place.
The training ground was tidied up in no time.
The knights settle down, each sitting around the training ground, curious to look at the housekeepers.
Cairin moves first and climbs onto the training ground.
Jubbuck Jubbuck
The smokehouse was covered with stones, slightly higher than the plain, giving it a slightly more stage-like appearance.
And then she called Sang-woo.
“Come up.”
