Level Up

It's just a war.

Since the Emperor's answer was too simple, Hyundai quickly asked a further question.

“Are all the skeletons out there because of the Horsemen? ”

- The Demon King's power. Contaminate and water the darkness. Kill, hate.

Suddenly, I thought that there were too few people in this city. Even when we were in the other cities, everyone thought we were on the run.

Then why is the emperor still here? You should have escaped before anyone else.

‘So... it's not a refuge? ’

It was the emperor who cleared the question of stone. He replied as if he knew that Hyundai had such a question again.

- My people haven't escaped. Do you think I'll leave first? I am the supreme being of all. I have a duty to protect everyone before that.

Hyun-seok silenced the emperor for a moment. Suddenly, my complicated thoughts disappeared.

If that horse is really...... isn't he a great man?

‘The skeletons left in the city...... are those who haven't escaped. And Skeleton who guarded the Imperial Palace...... was the knight who guarded the Emperor until the end. ’

The story finally seemed to fit perfectly.

So there's only one Emperor left in here?

This palace exists only for me, the Emperor. I was the only one who could use this imperial palace to destroy the Horsemen.

Hyun-seok asked urgently.

“So you stopped the invasion by yourself? ”

- It's the invasion of the Horses. We stopped them. It's just... It's just that it's the vanguard.

The emperor who spoke up to that point muttered in a wet voice.

- I'm the only one who knows that. Maybe...... they don't know. You're really worried.

That was it.

The attitude and atmosphere of the emperor suddenly changed. It was like the first time a string came in here.

- Time's up. Goodbye.

The emperor sits on the throne and waves his hand.

Suddenly, an enormous pressure came and pushed the stone backwards.

Hyundai could have resisted, but he didn't. It was because I knew there was nothing more to get here.

It would be better to meet the Great Wizard now.

Maybe he knows something more.

‘By the way... I thought the emperor said he was left alone in this palace.' ’

But a meeting with the Grand Wizard? Maybe... he chose a reward without it?

Hyun-seok pushes back with anxiety, leaving the hall.

Bang!

The hall door closes.

Then the pressure of the whole body disappeared as if it had been washed away.

He looked around. It wasn't the hallway that passed by earlier.

I came out of the same door, but I came to a completely different place.

“Is this where the Great Wizard lives? You don't think... there's a Wizard's corpse? ”

Hyun-seok muttered with a bloody smile. When I said it out loud, it also meant that I was nervous.

However, Hyun-seok believed his feelings.

The sensation that triggered that moment has saved his life many times over and allowed him to receive a special reward.

If there was a corridor leading to the door earlier, this time it was next to me.

The door leading into the hall was somewhere in the middle of the hall.

Hyun-seok suddenly wondered and opened the door to enter alone.

Yuck!

The door opens. As expected, it's in a completely different place.

It was a library full of books everywhere. It was much closer to the library than the library.

Hyun-seok went inside and looked around and picked out a book.

Nothing was written on the cover.

‘It's almost impossible to find and organize a book. ’

Hyun-seok opened the bookshelf thinking that way inside. It was a novel written in the imperial language.

It's not that I'm not interested, so I put it back in and pulled out another book.

I picked a few books like that, and all the books I picked were novels.

Everything around here seems to be a collection of novels.

“By the way... it's a different color? ”

The color of the cover was different. I looked at it and categorized it by color.

Hyun-seok quickly went and checked inside by pulling out a book of different colors.

And then I folded up again.

It was a book filled with filthy complex formulas. This was the shape of a mathematical book.

I pulled out a few more books and checked them, but so did I. It was filled with formulas I couldn't understand at all.

The stone leads to a bookshelf with another colorful book.

“Hmm?"

It was a book about magic. But the content was too difficult and complicated to understand.

It seemed like I had to read this dozens of times to understand it.

Hyun-seok shakes his head and sticks the book again.

Since then, I've checked all the colors in here. First, I checked what kind of books there are.

There were some things that might interest me quite a bit. Like swordsmanship.

Of course, there was nothing about advanced swordsmanship. However, once I checked the basics, it was okay.

Of course, there were no results. Swordsmanship must move through the body to achieve results.

Moreover, Hyundai has basically practiced and refined swordsmanship. If you put an absurd theory on it, you could regress.

Anyway, I checked all the books and came out of the library.

Hyun-seok, who came out of the library, suddenly tilted his head.

“But... there doesn't seem to be any history books. ”

Usually, if you have so many books, history books must be included in them.

Perhaps the greatest weight is usually the one.

In fact, Hyun-seok wanted to see some history books. Then I thought I could learn some secrets about the world, and I could see what was stuffily blocked out.

But what if I don't? Hyun-seok folded the refinement neatly and checked the sides of the hallway alternately.

to see which way to go. Seems like it doesn't matter which way you go.

Seeing that the corridor is forming a smooth curve, it seems to use the edges of the large circular building as corridors.

Come to think of it, the library I just checked was also a structure that seemed to take apart a piece of a pie.

Maybe the other room is the same.

The stone walks to the right. After a while, it was just a corridor. If you look at this, the room that will come out this time was really big.

Maybe all the rest are one room, except for the library that just walked in.

Hyun-Seok remembered the idea and laughed.

“It can't be. ”

And after seeing the door I found, I thought that I might have been right a while ago.

The door was a wall of sight. Roughly by sensation, there was a library just opposite this door.

So, there was only one piece of cake in a large circular building, and the other part was this room.

And the Great Sage lives in this room.

Hyun-seok slowly pushed his hands against the door.

Yuck!

The door slowly opens screaming, proving that it's been a long time.

Standing in front of the wide open door, he looked inside, surprised. I didn't know that such a scene would unfold.

Inside, there were countless tall black-colored slates. I was standing on the ceiling, and the width of a slate was such that five adult men with open arms could stand next to each other.

One slate seemed to be about one meter thick.

Thousands of such slates stood well aligned so as not to invade each other's space.

The black slate is filled with golden symbols.

It seemed to have been exquisitely filled with golden metal after excavating the slate.

The golden metal was what Kellium was.

Kellium, which accounts for 50 percent of the candus gold coins, is the metal with the highest magical conductivity.

“Is it because of the Great Wizard? Something...... doesn't feel like a normal person. ”

I had to think about it when I saw it filled the room.

- Of course, I'm not a man, I'm a great wizard.

Hyun-seok looked around at the resounding voice. I didn't know exactly where it was coming from.

It was like all the slates in here were making a sound at the same time.

No, actually, it was. Focusing on the second word, I was sure.

- Everything you see is me.

Hyun-seok looked around the place with a silly look. Then I went inside.

It was an enormous room. There is a dark slate filled to the brim.

It was almost a circular room, so it was not neatly arranged side-by-side, and it was overlapped at an angle with each other, so there was no problem for people to pass by.

I just had to move around complicated.

Hyunseok went through the slates and went deeper.

In the end, I could only see that this huge room was full of slates.

Looking down at the floor, the floor was also filled with golden symbols. Looking at the ceiling, so did the ceiling.

The room itself was made up of golden crest.

- Are we clear on that?

Hyun-seok was just standing in the middle of the room. When I was there, I heard my voice more clearly.

It looks like the sound was designed to converge in the middle.

Hyun-seok nods, and the voice continues.

- Welcome to the Archmage's chambers.

“The Grand Wizard's Room? ”

- Everything magical is a written place. Gathered by the power of the imperial court, of course.

It was a magical database. Hyungseok shined his eyes.

- Now, why don't we talk calmly? What you're allowed now...... is not as much as I thought.

“I want to hear everything that's allowed. ”

- You don't have to listen. I'll carve it into your head.

The expression on his face was slightly stiff because he said it would be engraved on his head.

- You don't have to make that face. It's really no big deal. It's a simple memory spell using human subconscious, not just by touching the brain.

The golden symbol begins to glow on the stone tablets in front of the stone. But surprisingly, the pattern began to change gradually.

As the path engraved on the slate changes, the golden metal flows toward it, and the pattern itself changes.

Liquid?

That golden metal was surprisingly liquid, not solid.

However, a different pattern was emitted and glowing with glow.

Shya-ahh.

If you resist, you won't be able to remember.

Hyun-seok ponders for a moment, but then he nods. Then, the powder stuck together to the head of the stone.

I felt the magic seeping into my head. I was always ready to defend myself.

But I didn't have to. It is because the magical force did not flow directly into the brain, but only the outside.

Of course, that was a great stimulus.

The swirling magic suddenly disappeared like it was washed away.

At the same time, the eyes of the stone were slightly larger.

It's because I suddenly had a memory that wasn't there. Of course, this memory was very volatile. So if you don't think about it once, it will soon disappear.

The first part of the new memory that entered the head of the string was about the volatility of this memory.

So Hyun-seok started to put the accepted memories into his mind.

The knowledge that the Grand Wizard of the Imperial Palace gave to Hyundai was the foundation of magic. But it has become more powerful than anything else.

“Magic patterns...... were they magic? ”
