I am the Monarch

------------------------------------

Aaron stamped a large piece of paper with a huge stamp.

“It is a symbol of our family. If you show me this, I'll be able to enter the Brandt Library. ”

“Thank you."

Roan bows his head deeply and pays his respects.

“And take the spear and the prize. ”

“Yes?”

He looks surprised at Aaron's words.

“A visit to the Brandt Library is a military nonprofit. I was going to give it to you anyway, so take it. ”

Refreshing decision.

Roan graciously handed over the Spear and Silver Coin Pouch without repeating.

'I got more than I thought. ’

That was the end of the nonviolence.

After greeting Aaron and his chiefs at the headquarters, Roan leaves the assembly room.

Gail stayed with Aaron, saying he had other things to do.

Shall we go straight? ’

There was plenty of time until evening.

‘Let's get going. ’

I wanted to find that item as soon as possible.

Roan leaves Army headquarters and heads to the Brandt Library in the center of Ifen Castle.

A familiar street to be trampled on.

As I walked along the well-stretched road, I saw an old-fashioned building far away.

A library built before the death of local royal wizard Lewis Brant.

‘Where Brandt's ring sleeps. ’

Roan's eyes curl gently.

* * *

Louis Brandt.

Wizard from Ifen Castle in the Eastern Region of the Rhine Kingdom.

At the age of 57, he became the Royal Wizard of the Rhine Kingdom by climbing to the ranks of the Master of Six Circles. After ten years working for the kingdom and the kingdom, he returned to the city of Iphen, where he lived for five more years and died.

Prior to his death, he was sponsored by the Kingdom of Rhines to build the Brandt Library and donated his own books and collections.

After Lewis died, many wizards, nobles and scholars searched the library to read and study the books he left behind, but over time, it became less and less common.

< No egg blindness. >

< There are only close theories that can be seen everywhere. >

Ratings of people who visited the Brandt Library.

There are restrictions so that only nobles can enter when there are huge administrative costs incurred by visitors who are busy here.

Thanks to this, I have become a ghost library where no one can find me.

‘I can't believe you built it so well and didn't use it properly. ’

Roan stands at the entrance to the Brandt Library and gazes at the facade of the elegant building.

‘Ian Phillips actively used the library and academy. ’

The tax-exempt strategist Ian also excelled in his administration and politics.

Road maintenance and academy activation are the products of that ability.

‘Talent is important to attract, but it's more important to grow. ’

Ian believed so.

External recruitment alone would have pushed the envelope.

With the Academy active, many outstanding generals, military and scholars were recruited. ’

But that didn't lead to a very good outcome.

Ian also had an unexpected problem.

"If he hadn't caused such a rebellion..."

The one called the Blood Lord.

His appearance has left Ian's patriotic bookshelves all frozen.

‘By the way, I think I just turned ten. ’

Tastes bitter.

‘I need to see him before he goes crazy. ’

For the peace of the Rhine Kingdom, no, for the precious lives of the people of the kingdom.

“Hoo. Let's take care of it first. ”

Roan takes a step in front of the complex thoughts in his head.

I opened a tightly closed library door and walked inside, and the smell of crunchiness pierced my nose.

‘The smell of mold. ’

The management was worse than I thought.

The ceiling and walls were covered with beautiful symbols and were lined with cobwebs and wedged until they were black.

“Who are you?”

A young man who was guarding the entrance of the stand stood up.

Roan unfolds the paper he received from Aaron.

“I'm going into the storeroom. ”

“Ah....... the symbol of Baron Tate. ”

The young man stands smiling faintly and points to the entrance.

“You can go in that way. ”

“Thank you."

After a brief greeting, Roan stands and opens the door.

Queek.

The twisting of the tree rings unpleasantly.

Boom.

I closed the door and walked inside and saw twenty more bookshelves.

Smaller than I thought.

‘Where is Louis Brandt? ’

Roan looks through the books on the shelf.

When I passed the sixth bookshelf and reached the seventh bookshelf.

The tail of my mouth slipped up.

‘There you are. ’

Seventh bookshelf.

It's also the lowest place to kneel.

Louise Brandt is there.

More than twenty copies of Louis Brandt's journal contained the plots of Louis' birth and death.

‘A book full of useless stories. ’

Assessment of three levels.

Thanks to this, the person who read the entire book from start to finish was counted on his hand.

‘You have to pick from 1 to 20 volumes in order. ’

Roan draws a copy of Louis Brandt's first book and heads to the corner table.

A table with a thick venomous plate among the tables.

Roan places the book on the far right of the table, then picks it up again and heads to the bookshelf.

‘You have to repeat this up to 20 copies. ’

It's a very hard process.

‘That's why no one found the ring hidden on the table. ’

I smiled bitterly.

It was fortunate that Brant's ring was found hidden in the corner of the table.

In the next six years, there will be a fire in the mess managed Brant Library.

‘All the books were lost and the tables in the west were half burned. ’

In the process, while clearing out the half-burnt table, you discover Brandt's ring, which was hidden in the space in the top plate.

‘The ring immediately became the baron of Aron Tate. ’

It is well known that Brant's ring was a well-removed artifact.

It is known that sealed magic and functions can be used more depending on the amount of Mana that can be handled in particular.

Of course, the facts revealed by Aaron, the owner of the ring.

‘Not all facts can be stated. ’

However, it was clear that it was an outstanding artifact.

‘Glad you found Louis' letter with Brandt's ring. ’

The letter had instructions on how to open the table top.

For some reason, Aaron released the entire letter.

‘He will too, because once he wears the ring, he cannot take it out until his master is dead. ’

Thanks to this, Roan was able to clearly remember where Brandt's ring was hidden and how to find it.

He smiles faintly and takes the last 20 books to the table.

“Whew.”

Tense and energetic.

With a short exhale, Roan places the book to the right of the table.

Pot.

Suddenly, a faint glow emanates from the edge of the table.

"Oops."

I hurriedly stood in an unexpected situation and looked at the entrance.

Fortunately, the door was sealed.

It reminds me of the nervousness on Roan's face.

‘Get lost quickly. Hurry up.'

If I knew how urgent Roan was, the light that was shining faintly along the border soon faded.

Tuck.

At the same time, a solid line forms in the center of the table and slowly begins to unfold on both sides.

Thung.

A square box pops up between the cracks.

A box the size of a book.

Roan carefully picks up the box.

Tuck.

When I opened the lid, I saw a letter the size of a palm of my hand.

< My name is Louis Brandt. I leave a small gift for you to read to the end of my work. >

The letter that began with a short introduction was exactly what I knew.

To open the table, you had to place one to 20 books on Louis' favorite table, and the identity of a small gift.

< Please make it useful. >

A blunt finish.

Roan folds the letter gently and puts it in his arms.

“This is Brandt's ring. ”

An old ring with a chunk in it.

It was a crude ring with no patterns, as if it were made of a lump of iron.

Roan carefully picks up the ring.

“Whew.”

Take a short breath.

Ugh.

The ring was worn on the left hand index finger.

Jiaying.

With a brief vibration, the ring decreases and changes to fit the thickness of your finger.

Sparkle.

After the dull, unmarked crude ring fades, it returns to its original appearance.

A cheap, seemingly inexpensive ring.

‘Rather, thank goodness. ’

There was nothing good about attracting attention.

‘Many nobles are obsessed with jewelry. ’

At that time, a cool energy spread around the ring.

Oh, this is the thermostat. ’

Currently, Roan doesn't know how to deal with Mana.

Nevertheless, some of the basic functions of Brandt's ring could be used.

One of them was the thermostat.

‘It is now possible to maintain moderate temperatures throughout the spring, summer, autumn and winter four seasons. ’

It means that you will never die hot or cold.

Moreover, this thermostat included the ability to regulate body temperature.

Thanks to you, you will hardly sweat if you move because of training or combat.

However, there was another feature that I really liked about Roan.

‘This is amazing, but it also has the ability to kill skills. ’

The ability to kill wits.

It wasn't as deadly as a brilliant thief or assassin, but it was also effective in hiding and erasing some of your energy.

It was a much more useful function than I thought.

‘It makes my actions difficult to predict. ’

A person appears to be a sign before any action is taken.

In the battlefield, most of the signs were related to strength or circumstance.

‘I am moving without any sign or feeling of movement. ’

There is no greater strength in battle.

‘Moreover, when managing Mana, this function can be improved as well as used as hidden functions. ’

The abilities Aaron showed me in his past life.

Fireballs, magic arrows, blinks, shields, healing. ’

Thanks to this, Aaron, the Lord of the Local Military City, was able to gain the Ring of Brant and promote himself to the Commander of the Eastern Army of the Rhines, who is responsible for the Eastern Kingdom in general.

‘I'm sorry about Baron Aaron Tate. ’

You've taken away your chance to be Commander of the Eastern Army.

‘After all, the Mana method is required to take full advantage of the features of Brandt's ring. ’

Flame burns in both eyes.

We're going to Porter territory. ’

There were opportunities, no futures.

After clearing his mind, Roan picks up an empty box.

‘Let's get back to the troop camp. ’

You got what you wanted.

I no longer needed to stay at the Brandt Library.

He tucks the box inside the table.

Thung. Ugh.

With a cheerful sound, the table returns to its original appearance.

Roan steps toward the entrance with a polite expression.

"Ah!"

At that moment, you see 20 copies of Louis Brandt sitting round the table.

‘But he gave me a big gift.......’

Roan comes back, picks up the book and heads to the bookshelf.

“I'll use it well. ”

Short Greetings.

It was time to carefully insert the book and turn around.

Tuck!

A book that I had inserted smoothly bounces off the ground.

“Why did this bounce off.......”

Roan picks up the book, staring at the bookshelf without thinking, and then stiffens.

“What's this? ”

Must be empty.

"Box?"

There was a small box that had never been seen before.

"Was there another hidden treasure? ’

My heart is pounding.

I thought through the memories in my head.

However, no matter how much I thought about it, I couldn't remember anything.

Roan carefully picks up the box.

Click.

You open the lid of a box of palms, and you see a strange looking object.

"It's like..."
