Level Up

Kwaw!

Huge pressure pushes through like a tidal wave. However, he did not back down.

I resisted pressure with all the force I could. A myriad of magical patterns emerged around the body of the stone.

At this rate, the feeling of death awakened the potential of the current situation.

The emperor, sitting still, sees it and slowly raises his body.

Then I reached out my hand.

Until then, the crazy pressure that had rushed to Hyundai disappeared in an instant.

- Come here.

Hyun-seok looked at the atmosphere for a while because he didn't know what was going on in English. However, I moved my mind as to where to go from here.

There was no more pressure. The stone stood in front of the emperor in a light step.

- You deserve to be in front of me.

At the emperor's words, the stone rolls its head. What the hell does that mean?

Do I have a title for that qualification? ’

Of what Hyundai possesses, the title of qualification is only the Master of Magical Power and the Dragon Man.

If it is related to the title, the weight will be on the owner's side of the magic.

The dragon rider is a man of courage. Can a brave man stand up to the Emperor? That's ridiculous.

All that was left was the Master of Magical Power, but I thought that might not be the case.

Then what the hell is it?

Hyun-seok turned away from such curiosity and curiosity and approached the emperor one more step.

Then the emperor raised his hand. It meant don't come any closer.

Not by threat, but by its natural majesty, it stopped walking.

Hyun-seok stared at the emperor with fresh eyes. I thought the emperor was the emperor.

What kind of life does it take for that kind of natural grandeur to get in your body?

- You have the Doubloons.

The emperor's words remind me of the Kandus Doubloons in the brain of a stone. A gold coin in honor of the coronation of Emperor Candus.

Hyun-seok quickly took it out.

The 17th of 23 gold coins was the gold coin of Hyundai. It was a gold coin with no other abilities and only complex magical patterns carved into it.

I have already analyzed the magic pattern once. But I concluded that it was useless.

To be honest, I didn't know what it meant.

The conclusion at that time was that it seemed to separate the middle of some huge magical pattern.

The emperor reaches out his hand. Hyun-seok places the gold coin on the palm of his hand.

The emperor's hands are as black as his face.

Hyun-seok looked at his hands and was sure. This is the shadow. This is what it would look like if it materialized.

As soon as the emperor receives the Doubloons, something suddenly descends from the ceiling.

The movement was quiet and discreet enough to come down without sound.

It was a broad plate. There are holes everywhere, but the size of them only makes Kandus doubloons.

The emperor placed a string of Doubloons in one of them.

Aaaaah!

An intense glow emanates from the panel. Then the stone gold coin settled down like it was melted into a plate.

It was as if there were no holes there from the beginning, and it just turned into a plate made just like that.

- Three more to go.

The emperor's words confirm the plate again, leaving three holes.

- The gold you brought means I'm 17 years old.

Hyun-seok was able to see why he had just made 23 Candus Doubloons. He was 23 years old at the coronation.

It was clear that each gold coin had meaning.

And there will be a prize hidden for each age.

Hyun-seok looked at the emperor with such expectations.

I received the Knights as a gift the year I turned 17.

“The Arphor Knights? ”

Suddenly, I thought that Black Emperor was smiling.

The emperor has not spoken for a while. It's like being locked up in repentance.

- You know my knights better than anyone.

Hearing that, Hyundai's purchase stumbled by itself. Then why are you locked in a dungeon? Such loyal knights.

- It's a political sacrifice.

That's all the emperor had to say and no more.

Hyun-seok stood still and looked at the emperor. Then something pops up from the floor.

It was not intimidating, but it was surprising because there was no sound, just like the one coming down from the top.

But I was not that surprised because I had been hit once.

The streak looks up at it and grabs it by the hand.

It was a rectangular gold pad. There was a special magical pattern engraved on it.

Hyun-seok caught it because he checked his name through his mind.

[Imperial decree]

I finally got the pardon order.

* * *

“Welcome.”

“Where are you?”

“This way.”

Carlson didn't get a proper greeting and took a quick walk. The man in charge leads Carlson on a wild goose chase.

“Is this it?”

“Yes, that's right. That's where we think the screen is. ”

“Hmm.”

Carlson carefully examined the air he pointed his finger at. But there was nothing he could know.

It was just air.

“What about players?”

“I'll wait over there for now. ”

“Nothing? ”

“Not only did the player use a magic detector... but I didn't find anything." ”

Carlson made a serious face.

“Too long? If I had moved the space, there would have been traces of it.... ”

The man who listened to Carlson swallowed his saliva, suppressing the shock.

That means there are people who can move space.

Or have skills like that.

Whether it was a player or an artifact, it was amazing.

‘Space travel……. ’

As the leader once again looks up at the air, Carson walks to where the players are gathered.

The players' gaze settles on Carlson.

None of them knew who Carlson was.

And everyone knew what happens when you look right at Carlson, and what happens when you look wrong.

That's why everyone focused and focused on what Carlson was going to say.

“What was the result of looking at the Magic Detector? ”

A player stood up to Carlson's question and handed him a few documents.

“It's a print of a magical distribution nearby. ”

The document was a photograph of the destination from multiple angles. I drew a graph with a pen, and that was the magical distribution.

“Does this mean... you have magic?" ”

“Yes, but it's not meaningful. within error range. ”

Even if you take a space with no magical force with a magic detector, this kind of graph will appear. That was the error range.

To be a truly meaningful result, a much more dramatic change must be made on the graph.

But that's not what Carlson saw.

“If it's meaningful and meaningless, I'll decide. There's definitely something here. ”

The reason Carlson was so neat was because of the shape of the graph.

I overlapped all the graphs in my head, and the horsepower concentration at that point was the darkest.

Of course, there was a picture that was not magical at all, and there were fewer pictures than anywhere else.

However, if I gathered all the photos and averaged them, I was definitely the most magical there was.

Carlson looked at the point with confidence.

‘If you look at the remaining magical distribution, it's not space travel. ’

The study of space travel was also ongoing a little.

There has not been any clear performance yet, but there is still a lot of data on how the residual horsepower distribution works and how the magic moves when space is moved.

Knowing that, I was able to determine that what is happening here now has nothing to do with space travel.

Of course, it could have been a different kind of spatial movement.

‘For example…… opening a gate. ’

Carlson's mind begins to spin as he recalls the gate.

‘A gate…… The entrance to the dungeon is also a gate. The entrance to the dungeon is like a new door in space. That means... ’

Carlson just looked back at it. His eyes were shining sharper than ever.

* * *

Hyundai, who held the imperial decree, examined its information in more detail.

[Imperial decree]

[Execution decree personally issued by Emperor Kandus. You have the right to pardon the Arphor Knights.]

It was the death sentence of only the Arphor Knights.

In fact, since gaining the Kandus Doubloons, Hyundai has been thinking about this. I wonder if I can get the Emperor's pardon by using this.

However, it was an item to obtain the death penalty of the Arphor Knights for the gold coins that Hyundai possessed, just as if they were faking a situation or a story.

- I want you to take that and release my loyal knights.

Hyundai suddenly thought that releasing the Arphor Knights was one of the Emperor's households.

Looking at the emperor with that thought, he said as if he had read the thoughts of Hyundai.

- Now that I have the key to my mastery, I'd like to reward you.

The word "prize" made my eyes glow. His name is Emperor, but he says he's different and won't give it to you. So it's worth it.

- Choose.

A large plate suddenly pops up in front of the stone, frightened by the emperor's words.

It was made of clear glass, and it had three words written on it.

[Emperor's Sword]

[Melee Sword Slash]

[Meet the Grand Wizard]

Of course, writing was imperial, but Hyundai was able to read it very naturally.

The stone saw three rewards and thought for a moment. I didn't have a long time to think. It was obvious that there was a time limit.

The glass was slowly going down.

Maybe you should press it before it disappears.

Once the Emperor's sword was excluded. I got a good sword, but I didn't have to get another one.

The rest of you encounter the Near-Crisis Sword and the Grand Wizard, and at a glance, you may have to choose it.

‘Is the value of each of the three rewards? ’

If the reward for choosing one of the three, wouldn't three be equal in value to the reward of the emperor?

Until then, Hyun-Seok put his palm to the meeting with the Great Wizard.

Immediately, the glass sheet sank down and infiltrated the floor, disappearing.

Turns out it wasn't surprising either.

The floor was covered in red strips, and a glass pane protruded from it. Same with the pardon order.

I didn't have the slightest crack, but I couldn't figure out where they came from.

‘That's a little frustrating. ’

They must have something to do with magical power. So analyzing the flow or patterns of magical power would give us something to replicate or study, but that was impossible.

After entering the imperial palace, the magic sensing ability of the stone is significantly reduced. No, that's not it. It would be fitting that the imperial palace's security against magical powers is immense.

It was completely hidden.

It wasn't that I didn't recognize it at all, but it was impossible to analyze.

At least I know this much because I have a good sense of the power of magic. If not, I could have mistaken it for no magic here.

- You chose the right reward. When you're done talking to me, you can go outside.

Hyun-seok nods at that. Perhaps the door out of the hall leads to the Grand Wizard's residence. Using magic, of course.

- Let me know if you have any questions.

I finally ran out of things to say. Hyun-seok instinctively realized that he could not ask a lot of questions.

So I asked a more comprehensive question. If I heard the answer, I was likely to look at the overall picture.

“What the hell is going on? ”

Hyun-seok stared at the emperor with a frenzied heart. The emperor's face still looks careless.

Of course, it's just a blur.

Finish
