Level Up

Hyun-seok looked at the old man lying flat in front of him and thought, "What the hell is going on?"

I was just trying to get out of the tower. That's why I thought I'd get to the first floor of the tower, but here I am.

“The humble servant Verdin meets the true owner of the tower. ”

Hyun-seok glances down at Verdin, lying facedown.

“First... I think I need an explanation." ”

At the words of the stone, the old man slowly got up. He then stood in a polite posture and held out his hands to one side and led him to the stone.

“Have a seat over here. ”

The stone was placed on a soft couch and table where Verdin's hands pointed.

It looked like Verdin had a sofa and a table for welcoming guests. Well-maintained

As he sits comfortably on the couch, Verdin sits carefully next to him.

It was much more uncomfortable to be so careful and respectful.

I thought maybe he did it on purpose, so I just decided to relax.

He stares at Verdin as if to explain. It was a bland look.

Verdin looks down at the stone wrist, admiring. And when I saw Barbell's token, I closed my eyes.

“Finally...! ”

Verdyn's expression is agitated and trembles. He seemed to be really impressed.

“I've waited countless years. ”

Of course, Verdin has only been waiting for decades. The rest of the wait was his ancestors'.

For many generations, I have waited for the day of prophecy to come, guarding the tower.

They defend the tower and solidify Berlin's position of influence.

Whenever the true owner of the tower appeared, I always moved with the preparation to hand everything over naturally and sequentially without undue effort.

Verdin is now the chief disciple of the Horse Tower, and his position was so great that he was within ten fingers of Berlin.

There were three families in Berlin, each claiming to be the descendants of the Holy Spirit, who controlled and guarded each other's power.

Verdin has been instrumental in balancing their center.

There was only one thing his family had longed for. The prophecy will be fulfilled.

And the prophecy was finally fulfilled.

Hyundai, who was listening quietly, suddenly wondered. Why did we wait for the prophecy to continue like this?

It has been guarded for decades, not one or two generations. Among them, several irreversible things must have happened.

But why couldn't I let go of it?

Hyun-seok was curious about that, but did not ask. There must have been a reason.

‘Somehow… I don't think that's a good reason……. ’

Maybe Barbell's up to something in their soul or bloodline.

It wouldn't have been enough to keep it that way anyway.

How much power and influence could I have exerted if I held the power of the Horse Tower on my back?

Perhaps the sweetness of that power also played a role.

“So what do I do now? ”

Verdyn shines his eyes.

“You have to take the seat of master of Berlin. ”

* * *

“Could this be wrong? ”

Kendrick says he can't hide his anxious expression. However, after realizing that no one could understand him and communicate, he sighed without even knowing it.

“Phew. What am I doing...?" ”

But there was one thing I believed in. It's the group that's currently with you.

According to Hyundai, they are all from different worlds. So you know the way back to that other world.

Even if one stone goes wrong, we can follow them to another world.

In the worst case, it would be broke, but it could save his life.

I felt pitiful about my time waiting for me to believe that.

Kendrick glances at the group.

Everyone was doing their job, mostly wrapped around their heads to learn the imperial language.

Kendrick cheers them on inside. They need to be good at Empire so they can communicate with themselves.

I'm a little sore. ’

Kendrick was frustrated to stay in a hotel like this. I felt like I should start digging around and digging up some information.

He said he would move separately. He also said he would make sure there was no connection between him and the group.

If we're going to believe that, shouldn't we start looking for something, getting ready for it?

I didn't have much to worry about. Kendrick's frustration is too deep to think about for a long time.

“I'll be out in a minute. ”

Kendrick speaks and everyone stares at him. As Kendrick was about to turn around, Ryu Hye-yeon said.

“Where?”

“Huh? Do you understand me? ”

Ryu Hye-yeon grinned with two fingers.

“A little.”

At that moment, Kendrick stares at her smile dazed. It was so beautiful that I couldn't take my eyes off it.

However, after I woke up and shaken my head, I looked at Ryu Hye-yeon with gleaming eyes.

“I'll see what's going on. ”

Ryu Hye-yeon nodded.

“Careful.”

Kendrick grins to see if she can reach you.

“Don't worry. There's no one on the floor who can outrun me. ”

Kendrick casually bows to the group and heads out.

After leaving the hotel, Kendrick wandered around the city. I didn't have to shoot everywhere.

All you have to do is check the points exactly as needed.

Kendrick's expression hardens as he notices things moving around a few places.

The last place he went was a tavern where informants would gather.

As soon as you enter, those who found Kendrick greet you loudly.

“Kendrick! It's been too long! Have you been out of business lately? ”

“No way. I was just resting. Have you had any fun lately, by the way? ”

Everyone looks at Kendrick curiously.

“Looks like you really took your hands off her. How loud is it these days? Looking for something fun? ”

Kendrick grunts, but asks with a expressionless face.

“Loud? What's going on? ”

Those who were watching Kendrick chuckle.

“Another act that doesn't work for me. You look like you know something. What are you talking about? ”

“What kind of enemy is this? Just pretend you don't know. We should listen and move if we have anything to hear. ”

Kendrick's abilities were recognizable, and everyone showed a favorable and active attitude toward Kendrick because he had to return at least one.

“The owner of the tower has finally appeared. ”

“Master of the Tower? Verdin?”

Kendrick shakes his head as if to ask what all the fuss is about.

“Would that be funny? Verdin's true master has appeared! ”

Kendrick wakes up.

“Then……. ”

“It's going to be really fun. How will the three families that rule Berlin come to be? ”

There was a reason for everyone's excitement.

Once the power struggle starts like that, the world of informants will come. Of course, everyone will have to risk their lives.

But it will cost you that much and be sweet. Where you line up becomes very important from now on.

So everyone glares up at Kendrick.

At times like this, the opinion of the outstanding is important. Of course, I don't intend to rely on Kendrick alone, but he should be able to help.

Kendrick is anxious.

What happened to him? Did something happen to provoke the Horseman? ’

However, it's a little strange that a horse owner who has only been stimulated once has never been on the front line for so long.

“Kendrick, what about you? No, what do you think's gonna happen? ”

“What?”

“The legend of our descent to Berlin long ago. ”

“The legend that the Horsemen are the true owners of Berlin? ”

“You don't think so either, do you? ”

“Not you? Too old to believe, isn't it? ”

They all had similar ideas. But I couldn't ignore it.

“Perhaps... the three families would never think so. ”

“Of course. If they don't, they'll be trampled. ”

“But do you really think the Horse Master will try to suppress the three houses? ”

“I don't know. And what does it matter? ”

“Not really.”

Everyone nodded and accepted.

It doesn't matter where the horseman's will reaches. Three families won't believe that.

I wouldn't even think of having any anxiety at all.

I've been patient because the tower has been silent for a long time. I didn't have to touch that powerful organization.

Verdin was so well-balanced in the middle.

But this will change the story altogether.

The three families will have a power struggle with the tower in some way.

No matter what the outcome.

“So, Kendrick, what do you think the outcome will be? I'm sure you'll fit right in with four, right? ”

“Well... no one knows. I've never been.”

The majority predicted that the tower would grow to four places of dominance in Berlin with its own dominance.

Given the current situation, or the history of Berlin so far, it was most likely.

But Kendrick didn't seem to end up being so simple.

I was really nervous.

‘Maybe...... I'd better avoid it first? ’

Unlike what I expected, Kendrick was on his way to the Horse Tower.

* * *

Hyundai and Verdin were sitting in a magnificent reception room on the first floor of the tower.

The reception room has only been managed so far and has never been used.

This was the space that was prepared to be used first when the owner of the tower appeared.

Then, by the choice of Hyundai, the owner of the horse tower, he will write for another guest, or use the horse alone, or he will choose either path.

Or shut it down at all.

After all, everything was according to the heart of the stone.

That's what Hyun-seok felt when he spoke to Verdin.

This tower belonged entirely to Hyundai and was able to do whatever Hyundai wanted.

Even the wizards in the tower could kill themselves at the same time.

Only those who were so loyal to the tower and the tower survived.

In fact, the wizards here are like the work of the tower and Verdin.

They were wizards who were raised when they were orphans.

Of course, a lot fell away during that time, and only the elites who were the best were left.

Anyway, it's the matter of the tower, and now it's time to discuss the matter of Belloney.

“Do you like the reception room? ”

With Hyun-seok nodding, Verdin couldn't hide his joyful expression.

I thought I was good at preparing.

“What do we do now? ”

Verdin said with a serious look.

“The tower will be the first thing to do.... ”

Verdin takes a few moments, shining his eyes and speaking.

“You control all of Berlin's troops. ”

There was something that popped into his head. It was a new title this time.

“Was it the Berlin Knights, the infantry, the cavalry, the archers, the magicians? ”

Verdyn nods, smiling brightly.

“Yes, that's right. You have to take control of them. ”

Verdun, who quickly erased his laughter, said Najjik.

“The three families will take advantage of the Hospitam opportunity. Never be careless. ”

Of course, Verdin didn't worry much when he said that. If you are truly the descendant of Babel and the owner of the Horse Tower, his army will be entirely his.

That was the prophecy.

Verdin did not doubt that the prophecy would come true because he had lived by it alone.

The End
