Main Character Hides His Strength

34. Iron Knights (1)

The change bag, Martin Bregas, was looking at the knights bowing before him with dark eyes.

The knights bow their heads and groan in disquieted tone.

“Our side's already collapsed. Most of the Mobility Forts were destroyed and thousands of knights lost. Without support, we won't last much longer. ”

They were Knights of the Iron Knights.

It was a long time ago that the Iron Knights began receiving the Focus of the Horses.

It is a long-standing tradition for the Horses not to be violent in winter, but this year they broke the tradition and kept the Iron Knights at bay in the middle of winter.

The Iron Knights, of course, requested reinforcements from Martin Bregas, who oversees the front lines of the market, but for some reason Martin Bregas did not send a crippling reinforcement.

And judging by his grim attitude, it was clear that reinforcements would not be sent this time.

The knights leave, clapping their mouths as Martin Bregas says nothing.

The eyes of the knights looking back at the door are filled with deep grudges and fury.

Martin Bregas yawns as he digs his ears.

The side guard standing next to him approaches and cautiously asks.

“Can I just send them back? In fact, the Iron Knights are in a very serious situation right now. ”

“How bad is it? ”

Martin Bregas stares at you with frowny eyes, his ears dug out.

“All but the Iron Crucible, the last of the Iron Knights' treasures, have been captured or abandoned. They won't last much longer in the spring. ”

“Really? That's a good thing. I didn't like the Iron Knights in the first place. Knights on the subject of Summoners. Wouldn't it be bad to see this opportunity go to waste? ”

Martin Bregas had a pleasant look and took a sip of milk from the cup.

“But Mr. Chang-baek. If the Iron Knights collapse, the forces of magic will come right at us. And the arrows of the Iron Knights' responsibility for collapse will be directed at us. ”

“You don't have to worry about that. Didn't you spend a lot of money on those guys to do this? ”

Martin Bregas rises from his seat and heads for the window.

Beyond the dazzling sunrise window, an army of thousands awaits orders in an orderly fashion.

After a while, the young man in fancy clothes stood on the stage and spoke to the soldiers in a cheerful voice.

Though the contents of the speech were not heard this far, Martin Bregas smiled gladly at the young man's back.

“If the Iron Knights fall, we'll let them replace us. ”

Martin Bregas has many stillborn children.

The leader of the Trowin vigilantes, Parrim Dagoth, whose change bag has been dedicated for a long time, is also one of his bastards.

Parim Dagot would be a true heir to Martin Bregas if he could overcome this evil attack that threatens the Iron Knights even though he hasn't used his father's castle yet because he left Muhee at the bar as his mother.

“Reinforcements are sent after the Iron Cross collapses. ”

Martin Bregas was prepared to make every effort for the child he had from the only woman he ever loved.

Meanwhile, the Iron Knights who heard the news were preparing to take out the last card they had chosen.

Cho Sung-taek, the Iron Knight.

A man who once was an unsung hero who dominated the entire continent, not just the north of the continent, but now collapses and falls to a position of a provincial lord.

Recently, even my biological son who had been brought to the Summon Plaza couldn't take care of him properly, so he suffered a horrible death and bought a lot of money.

He didn't like the surrounding situation very much.

“If you come out like that, I have an idea. ”

Cho Sung-taek ordered us to bring a guest who had been taken to the palace secretly in front of him.

The wings of the bat, the hooves of the goat, and the bizarre presence of the human head appeared in his throne room.

Surprisingly, its identity was the Devil.

“You finally made up your mind? ”

The demon grunts in a soft voice that is pleasant to hear.

There are deep wrinkles in Cho Seong-taek's eyes.

It can also be a one-off choice for fame and majors.

But if you think about it, what's the point?

‘The children born in this world died a curse, and Aram, who was called from the Summon Palace, died miserably by the other children. And that bastard Martin Bregas, who couldn't even look me in the eye, wants me dead. ’

Cho Seong-taek's concerns did not last long.

Soon, he raised his head, politely holding his hands together, and spoke in a low voice towards the Devil standing there.

“... I will cooperate with your king. But I want you to keep your promise. ”

Eight years ago, dozens of continents committed to delaying the coming disaster in the first phase of their control or control.

In the process, one vigorously revolted and fled, but over the past eight years the disaster has been well managed and the powerful have continued to enjoy a wealth film that is not much different from before.

But disaster cannot be averted.

The word "unstoppable" also included that it could not be delayed, but people separated the two and thought,

The disasters that they mistook for delays will be inflicted on the world in a larger and more violent form.

Meteorites falling from the sky strike the deep sea horse.

Meteorites fell in succession without having to make any additional inspiration.

The number of echoes grew naturally as the magical power became stronger.

Currently close to 500, Kim Sung-cheol added up to 2 additional echoes every time he completed an order.

In other words, if you cast the Meteor once, two Meteors will fall in succession.

“Grumgh...”

The deep hippocampus did not survive the fierce battle of Meteor.

Thanks to this, Kim Sung-cheol had to change his policy from beating the deep sea horse once a week to beating once a week.

Beat him harder or he'll die.

‘If I can get the Demon King to hit Meteor, he'll be fine to go to him now. ’

Meteor's power is excellent throughout all magic.

The only problem is that it's hard to hit. Once hit, it can be a critical hit against the Demon King with its echo effect.

But Kim Sung-cheol is not in a hurry.

"Soon it will be 500 intuition. ’

His current intuition is 479.

It's been a month since I left the Demon Cult Tower, but my intuition has only gone up by two.

Without alchemy, his growth would have ceased.

And today, he has been on the verge of completing one of the Creator Quests for a long time.

“Just a little more! Just a little more!”

Kim Sung-cheol shakes his spatula vigorously as he senses a huge magical force draining from his body.

I thought there was a unique scent in Eckhart's portable alchemy kiln, but then a bright light appeared and produced a single finished item.

[Combination Success!]

Kim Sung-cheol looked at the message and raised a new Alchemy item inside the Alchemy Kiln.

It was a golden duck statue.

Kim Sung-cheol's alchemy has now grown beyond converting ordinary materials into other properties and into specific forms within the alchemy kiln.

Golden Duck

Level: 4

Grade: B

Properties: Gold ()

Classification: General General Goods

Effect: Add to bathtub to float.

“ ……. ”

This item is useless.

It was shiny and cute in golden light, and it floated in the metal theme. However, it could not be rated more than junk.

There were too many alchemical items that were not helpful in combat.

Nevertheless, Kim Sung-cheol continued to create these things in order to complete the pension scheme described in Bertelgia.

After a long effort, Kim Sung-cheol finally succeeded in producing all the recipes in the category called basic alchemy.

And that reward was about to be made.

“Hmmm. Well done. I think I've finally taken a serious step as a creator in the White March! ”

A strange light appeared from the body of Bertelkia, flying across the sky, and it flew towards Kim Sung-cheol and wrapped around him.

In Gwanghui, Kim Sung-cheol stared at the long-awaited message.

[You have succeeded in reproducing some of his great inventions along with the great footprints of your fellow hero Eckhart.]

[Normal bet complete!]

Reward: 1. Magic Power +20, Intuition +20

2. Eckhart's Gathering Notes

Kim Sung-cheol immediately raised his stats spear in front of his eyes.

[Stats]

Strength 999 + Agility 853 HP 801

Magic Power 494 Intuition 499 Magic Resistance 622

Will 502 Charm 18 Luck 18

“Well…”

Only one is missing.

One is not enough to reach 500.

Since the intuition gained three days ago through alchemy, it will take as little as three weeks and as long as a month, roughly every day, to increase another intuition.

“How's that? How's that for embracing the creator's knowledge? ”

Bertelkia is proud, saying.

“That's filthy.”

“What...? What did you just say? ”

“I don't mean to imply that we are a little short of shame. ”

Kim Sung-cheol sighed and looked up at the sky.

A heavy sadness is coming.

If it had been as planned, we would have solved the first disaster by killing Hassanius Max today.

Unexpectedly slow growth has led to a deviation.

Kim Sung-cheol took another reward that fell beneath his feet while holding his mind.

It was a little book.

Kim Sung-cheol opened the book.

Inside the book were several illustrations made of living ink and small writings.

Kim Sung-cheol read one of them.

[… Ogres in the Fog Mountains sleep on stone beds. In the human eye, this stone bed is one stone bed and that stone bed is another, but Ogres have their own stone bed standards. They attach stars to great stone beds, but the more stars you have, the better the bed will be. The best stone beds are stars….]

Kim Sung-cheol read up to that point and closed the book.

Although I wrote a long passage, Ekhardt's Gathering Notes seemed like a guide for locating rare alchemical materials.

The problem is there is an enormous time gap between the time of Ekhart's life and the time of Kim Sung-cheol's life.

“... I can't use this. ”

The age difference is evident only on the page I just read.

It is because Ogres no longer live in the Misty Mountains during the Kim Sung-cheol era.

Due to Humans' frequent subjugation and Orc enslavement, the Kingdom of Ogres has long since disappeared.

Kim Sung-cheol put the book into storage and left somewhere with the freshly made duck statue.

“Why don't you like my dad's book? Even though he's an ugly man, his knowledge is real. ”

Bertelkia followed and tried to shout, but Kim Sung-cheol didn't listen.

Soon, he arrived at a hot cloth with a faint scent of sulfur.

It is a hot spring that bathes occasionally.

Kim Sung-cheol threw off his clothes.

“Oh, my God!"

Bertelkia hurriedly hides behind the tree.

As I pushed my head outside the myrrh tree, I noticed the body of a strong man covered in cloudy fog beyond.

The numerous scars and burns engraved on his broad back looked like a medal for Kim Sung-cheol's uneasy life.

Kim Sung-cheol soaked himself in a hot spring and placed the golden duck statue he had just made next to him.

The golden duck statue made of metal was surprisingly floating around Kim Sung-cheol.

“It really floats. ”

A faint smile crossed Sung-cheol Kim's mouth.

The Devil's cry echoes in the distance, but it is a fine bath.

Kim Sung-cheol closed his eyes in the bath and let time pass.

How much time has passed.

Heavy noise comes from the southeast.

This is the direction of the storm front fortress.

I tried to move past it, but it sounded like a series of thunders and a faint drum.

‘There's been a battle. No way. I didn't see any movement of the Horses from the north. ’

I felt an unusual feeling.
