Inside the column was a young man who had just taken off his shirt.

“The merchant lord... I heard Doran was a boy... But is the man inside really Doran? ”

“That child... is Doran. I don't know why he's grown so fast, but he's definitely Doran. ”

There is no grief in Doren's dry answer.

“ · · · ”

Just looking at Doren looking at her son with a grave gaze.

‘You have devoted so much of your feelings to your son... that you can't even shed a tear of emotion, even the joy of meeting him.'

Cayron clenches his tongue in sorrow.

“Then why didn't you save Doran? ”

Even though the son I've been looking for is within reach.

Doreen does not take any action.

“I've tried a lot already. But I couldn't break the crystal that was tied to my son in any way. ”

“What the...”

Doren has already escaped the Human category by gaining the power of the Emperor of the Desert.

You can't break a crystal?

The crowd was utterly unable to understand.

[Look. I told you, even if you put your best foot in front of him, eventually you won't be able to touch a finger.]

A clear voice echoes through Doreen's head.

The voice of a man who feels playful somewhere.

It was the Emperor's.

“ · · · ”

Doren remained silent to him.

His voice continues to speak.

[It's useless. Whatever you think you're doing, it's just a vain step. Wouldn't it be better to find the rest of the ruins than just think about it?]

“I'll decide how. ”

You know the drill, right? The fact that I have to gather all my strength in the ruins to save your son.]

Doreen continues to be silent in her smiling voice.

[What happened after you took your decision? It's just a meaningless war, isn't it?]

“.. this war was never in vain. ”

[It wasn't in vain?]

There's nothing to gain from war.

What do you mean, it wasn't for nothing?

“I found my son, and just by confirming he's still alive, I saw hope. And this flame of hope will never go out. ”

[Oh, really?]

Like I heard a joke.

Interesting things come out of your voice.

[You don't remember giving up your anger just a moment ago to get your competitors' powers. There are only two feelings left for you now. But if the remaining emotions disappear from you, will you still be able to look like you are now?]

“ · · · ”

The Emperor's words were not wrong.

Haven't you already felt a big change in you by giving you emotions?

‘If I give up the remaining emotions... then maybe I won't be able to keep my heart and my figure exactly as the Emperor has said. ’

But, um...

“Even if I were a puppet without a heart, my love for Doran would last forever. ”

[Oh, that would be so much fun.]

I wonder if I liked Doren's answer.

I hear his clear laugh in my head.

[Keep me entertained until the end. We'll see if it's what you say it is or what I expect it to be.]

“ · · · ”

And at the end of it, I no longer heard the voice of the Emperor.

“Doren! Doren!! ”

Instead, I noticed Sazanne shaking him strongly.

“Are you okay? Is he talking to you again? ”

Unlike his worries.

Doren shakes her head and says,

“It's all right. More than that...”

Doreen connects the two eyes with her son, who is trapped in a crystal.

“Now that I've found Doran, I need to wake my son up quickly. ”

“I couldn't even wake up with the power of the Merchant Guild... Is there a good way? ”

When Cayron asks, Doren nods slowly.

“The rest of the ruins and the emperor's strength will be in my hands. I'm sure we can wake Doren up if we do that. ”

“That's...”

Just as I knew Doren would lose another set of feelings over it.

Cayron didn't say anything.

Seizan looks closely at Doren and says,

“I don't know what's at the end of your path, but I'll walk with you to the end. That's what the Great Tang Khan would have wanted. ”

“Thank you, Sazanne. ”

Soon, the warriors abandoned Doran.

At the same time as leaving the dungeon.

Zec

JooJoon recognizes that his vision has returned to its original location.

“ · · · ”

Help me think about the situation a while ago.

We meet again, Doran.

However, the process would never have been comfortable.

‘It must have been a difficult road to wage many emotions and war against the kingdom...' And a way forward.

I'll have to walk the path of thorns.

‘But you won't give up. ’

Doreen came all this way with one will to save her son.

"Yes, go all the way to the end. I'll decide if it's the right path or not. ’

I was thinking of Doreen's journey ahead.

Clears Warrior Doren's Quarterly Achievement.

The warrior Doren has triumphed greatly in the war against the Kingdom of Afghanistan.

Outside Achievements: Warrior Doren, supported by numerous mercenaries, rules over the kingdom of mercenaries, the Agape.

The Mercenary King's Sword will be rewarded as a reward.

"I never thought Doreen would make king..."

She smiles faintly as she looks at the message.

‘Have you not stopped occupying the kingdom of Afghanistan and built a kingdom of mercenaries on top of it? ’

Followed by the Tang Kan Heim built by Baikal.

It was at that moment that another kingdom created by his warrior was built on that other side.

Oh, my God.

I was smiling as I imagined Doren would rise to the throne.

Tuk

Suddenly, jewels are embedded in his feet and a shining sword falls.

Mercenary King's Sword

Description: Doren, commander of all mercenaries. A sword crafted to celebrate his ascent to the throne.

Ability: I think I can make a lot of money selling rough jewelry made of main ingredients in the desert.

‘Hmm... You don't have any special abilities? ’

Seems like a sword crafted to celebrate Doren's ascension to the throne.

It seemed like a sword that chose glamour over power.

‘But how can this sword be obtained in this city? I don't have any more items. Thank you, Doreen. ’

JooJoon pushed the sword into the subspace with a see-ik smile.

‘Now, let's look at the expedition journal. ’

Turn your head to look at the exploration message.

‘Before, he met his mother in the White Tower. What could have happened... Could it have succeeded in regaining her memory? Or maybe they're still coming. ’

Thinking about the appearance of Deadon and his walks.

He slowly put his finger on the message.

Zec

The old man walking a small path through the street,

Deadon walks behind her from afar into her sights.

[Ow... This waist...]

Knock at the waist while the old man stops walking.

[Mother...]

Deadon extends his arm without me knowing it, then slowly lowers it.

I wanted to beat her crooked waist right away.

You'd be surprised.

There was no son in her memory.

‘But there must be a way to restore Mother's memory. No, I make them. ’

To do that, I left Deeks for a while.

You followed her here, didn't you?

(Knng)

Later, the old man will take his bot and move his feet again.

Jubbuck

Deadon also chases after her quietly.

Soon after, the old man arrived at a farmhouse in a small town.

"This place..."

I feel a deep emotion on Dedon's face when he sees a shabby house.

I never thought I'd see my old house again.

Before he became the Wizard of the White Tower.

His small, humble house, where he lived with his mother.

‘Nothing seems to have changed. ’

If only there was one difference.

(Knng)

From the day I started the fire, all I could think about was how my mother was doing all the household chores by herself.

I've been trying to observe for a while.

He was hurt when he saw his mother doing bad things.

Carefully step into the small courtyard.

[Me, Mother!]

[Who are you?]

The old woman slowly turns her head to his question.

Deadon smiles sweetly, swallowing the hard feelings.

[Hello, Mother? You were in the cafeteria during the day, right?]

[Ah, that young wizard. What brings you all the way to this dump?]

[That's...]

I can't say I came to see you.

Deadon quickly remembers his excuses.

[I came here because my colleague Wizard lives nearby, but I stumbled upon a familiar face and came to say hello.]

[Really? There must be all these coincidences.]

[I see, haha.]

Deadon smiling bitterly.

He waves his hand as if to ask you to come in.

[I was just about to have dinner. Drink up as long as you don't want to eat yet, young warlock.]

[Oops, no. I'm sorry. How did you...

[There's no need for that. I just feel like my own son when I look at young people like a young wizard.]

"I am your son, Mother."

Desdon tries to cool the eyes that are about to get hot because of his elder sister's recommendation.

You have a calm smile.

[Are you sure you want to do this? I'm sorry...]

[No need to be sorry. Come on in and have a drink.]

The old man suggested it again.

Deadon slowly enters his old house, pretending he can't win.

[· · ·]

When I walked into the house, Hangi, who was fighting, greeted him first.

[It's a little cold in here, isn't it? It's gonna get hot soon, so just wait a little bit longer.]

The old lady was about to leave the backyard as if she was sorry.

Deadon grabs her shoulder in a hurry.

[Mother, it's okay.]

[No, but...]

[So, can I help you?]

An old woman who opens her eyes to Deadon's question.

[You don't have to do that...]

[It's okay. Please let me help you.]

Deadon familiarizes himself with the backyard before his old lady drys him out.

Glug-ug

And a white flamethrower burns the firewood in his hand.

The room is filled with warmth.

I'm sorry.

The Wizard of the White Tower.

Maybe it was because he was a wizard who would receive precious treatment wherever he went.

The old woman bent at the waist.

[No, it was simple. You don't have to thank me like that.]

Deadon raises his old lady's hand.

[I'll prepare my meals soon, so wait a little longer.]

[Haha, of course! You can wait as long as you want.]

The old lady disappears into the little kitchen.

Dedon snooping around.

‘Let's do what I can with a line that is not burdensome to Mother. ’

He notices old farm tools first.

"Are you farming even though you work at the Horse Tower..."

A deadon smiling bitterly at old farm tools.

‘I need to take a look at this. ’

He looked in the kitchen.

Raise your magical hand to reach the farming implement.

"If I could just make a few improvements..."

Sassac

Wherever he touches.

The old farming equipment showed off its appearance like a glittering sword.

Deadon was not satisfied.

‘I didn't see any firewood earlier. I'd also like to get some firewood. ’

Tuk

A deadon that throws miniaturized golems into the backyard.

[The trees need to be used by the villagers, so bring them with branches.]

[Grunting]

Following his orders, the golems climbed the mountain in a hurry.

Meanwhile, Dedon's eyes turn toward the old house.

‘I think I'd like to see the house a little more... The house is too old now. ’

It's too small a place for an old lady to stay.

‘Okay, let me just touch it a little bit. Just a little... "

When Deadon turned the inside out.

[Preparing dinner... oh, my God...]

The old lady looks at him and the house that has changed with a blank eye.
