Main Character Hides His Strength

Schnelmer raises his hand, revealing one or two of those who were hiding in the darkness.

Trained assassins like Kim Sung-cheol expected.

They appear, without a word, at the hands of Schnelmer and then vanish back into the woods.

I don't know any faces.

Kim Sung-cheol didn't memorize all the names of his men, but most of the faces who were living and crashing together remembered.

Looks like those assassins were hired or trained by Schnelmer on their own.

Kim Sung-cheol thought so and followed his old servant to the cave in a strange place.

Of course, I didn't forget to say a word to the loud comms before I went in.

“Go back, Stu. I have work to do personally. ”

Of course, if Stu had understood the words at once, he wouldn't be here.

[Yes..? What kind of work? What is it?]

Kim Sung-cheol gave communication stones to Marrakia to deal with.

Marakia, who received the communication stones, clapped her wings and shouted to the communication stones.

“Shut up! Humans! Before they eat their livers! ”

[Hee-hee!!]

Kim Sung-cheol left Maraki outside with the baron. We left Marrakia behind to protect the baron.

No matter how small it gets, there are very few people in the world who can beat Marrakia right now.

“You stay outside with the baron and keep an eye out. ”

“Hoho? Is it okay to free the King of Destruction? I don't know if I'm gonna jump. ”

Kim Sung-cheol silenced Marakia by bringing out Umbrook.

“Beep...”

Inside the cave, along Schnelmeeker, there are glittering pebbles that grow in the light of a torch.

Following the marquee columns, there were many forks.

Seeing that, Kim Sung-cheol felt like he knew why the Imperial knights knew the location of this cave and didn't mess with the Apocalypse.

This cave is a maze created by nature itself.

You can't even imagine the depth of it.

Schnelmer makes his choice without hesitation to walk ahead of several forks without a sign.

Even though the ordinary person was a few times confused and unique, he did not seem hesitant in his words.

Kim Sung-cheol who saw it reminded him that Fritz Schnelmer owns a brilliant brain.

It's been about 10 minutes since I've been at a dizzying crossroads.

Kim Sung-cheol was finally able to reach the abode of the Apocalypse, located in the vicinity of Eun Man's Tower.

There were many tents in the wide cavity, and the people of the church gathered around the light.

There are a lot of numbers.

Kim Sung-cheol found that the number of the Apocalypse groups gathered in the cave was satisfactory.

“This way.”

Schnelmer entered the tent in a particularly fancy and large place.

The warriors guarding the front of the tent saw Schnelmer, bowed down and moved out of the way.

But the warriors didn't show much respect for Kim Sung-cheol.

“Have a seat. Madam captain.”

Schnelmer continued to call Kim Sung-cheol the Brigade Chief.

In fact, he had remained in the military after Kim Sung-cheol took the position, but had not had the opportunity to be transferred to another unit's commander and be renamed, and had not left the military much longer after that.

Kim Sung-cheol stared at a sentence with a broken sword decorated in the center of the tent.

“What's this? ”

A sentence I've never seen before.

Schnelmer smiles and replies.

“This is the crest of my family. ”

“Ah. Is this the crest of Earl Schnelmer? I'm sorry I didn't recognize you. ”

“You're welcome. You should not remember this because it is a sentence made at my discretion and rarely written in Lagranze by a local aristocrat. ”

After a simple salutation, heavy silence came into the tent.

It is a natural outcome.

Schnelmer Kim has his own reasons.

Kim Sung-cheol stared at the objects inside the tent one by one.

There were decorative swords, bookshelves with thick books, and white bear fur on the floor, but what stood out the most was a large map of the table in the center of the tent and the whole world on top of it.

Schnelmer stands around the map, staring at the map with Izzie's gleaming eyes.

He seemed to be thinking of something.

It is the good and bad habits of Schnelmer that I think about several times before I speak.

It can't be better when there is enough time, but slowing down even in a situation where you can't look forward to it is a matter of being deceived by my supervisor.

Fortunately, we have plenty of time now.

Schnelmer slowly clears his mind and breaks the long silence.

He opens his mouth, shaking his fingers at the long horse that sits on a large map in the middle of the tent.

“I knew the captain would be here. ”

Kim Sung-cheol indifferently stared at his old servant.

“I heard you've visited the Tower of Silver before. probably after the first disaster was resolved. I thought you met Miss Artuzius Ong at the time. ”

“Yes.”

Kim Sung-cheol looked for them, reminiscent of an unexpected reunion near Eun's Tower.

“Where are Sarah and Artuzius? ”

“They're in Lagranje. He's doing an important job in Lagrange. ”

“Important work? ”

“Photography or something. But even if they were, I was going to come. I wanted to meet him in person. ”

Tuck.

Schnelmer drops his horse on a part of the map.

Kim Sung-cheol discovered that the long term horse in Schnelmer's hand had the shape of a lion.

Schnelmer places the lion in the marked section of the Silver Tower.

“You came to see me? ”

Kim Sung-cheol asked in a calm tone.

Schnelmer nods.

“That's right.”

“Tell me why. ”

Kim Sung-cheol twisted his legs, leaning against the backrest, and looked toward Schnelmer.

Schnelmer starts the map slowly turning around the table.

“Do you know what the Apocalypse is? ”

It started with a question.

“They say they worship me. ”

Kim Sung-cheol replied.

And he added.

“Fritz. I hear you played a vital role in the organization of this group. ”

As I said in a bold tone, there is a bone.

Fritz Schnelmerker's eyes are crossed with this.

“Looks like the commander's been doing his own research on us. ”

“They're selling my name, and you should know what they are. ”

Kim Sung-cheol sat down and replied.

Another silence fell.

Schnelmer looks at the map with a thin smile and rethinks his thoughts.

After a long time, he opens his mouth again.

“I played an important role in the organization of the Apocalypse, yes. especially in the financial sector. Of course, all of these actions stemmed from the loyalty of the Vice Dean. ”

“Tell me why. Short.”

Kim Sung-cheol didn't see any loose ends.

Fritz Schnelmer, who knows more than anyone that Kim Sung-cheol doesn't like to talk long, took a deep breath and opened his mouth again.

“Our old commander. William Quinton Marlborough is an unqualified figure for the Emperor. ”

A shocking word. Kim Sung-cheol felt a strong curiosity in his heart, but he asked the question in a bold tone without giving out.

“Why? ”

“He's just a puppet of the Ruettignia Kingdom. ”

I remembered the face of the emperor who was reciting it to Kim Sung-cheol with a dark face.

At that time, the emperor told Sung-cheol Kim:

“The reign of Ruettignia is not over yet. ”

However, Kim Sung-cheol ignored the words and stared at Schnelmer indifferently.

“Any evidence?”

“Nothing.”

Schnelmer said with confidence.

Kim Sung-cheol's mouth burst open.

It's a rare expression of emotion.

Bertelkia in his arms is stunned.

Kim Sung-cheol smiled and told Schnelmer.

“You haven't changed a bit. ”

“I'll take that as a compliment. ”

After a brief laugh, Schnelmer opens his mouth again.

“There is no conclusive evidence. You can take as much as you want. ”

“Tell me.”

“Rumor has it that there are criminals in Rutheginia in the old city of Lagrein who are now banned from the city. Admiral Arcubus, the last day of last year's death, is also rumored to be the enemy of the infamous Gandarba family. ”

“The Gandarvas? Are those scumbags still here? ”

Seong-chul Kim's mouth popped open with profanity.

It was because Kim Sung-cheol experienced the cruelty of the Gandarba family.

At the Arena, Kim Sung-cheol was almost killed several times by numerous monsters and gladiators in the unilateral disadvantage of the Gandarba family.

It was the performance of the Gandarba family during the last battle with Crickfried on the Arena.

At last, Kim Sung-cheol almost sacrificed the heart of a lowly rebellion to become a virtuous choreography of Ruettignia's hero.

“Plus, there's an unknown group of geeks roaming underneath the capital. According to magical scholars, they resemble the cursed corpse golems that Rutheginia used in the Conquest War. ”

“Well...”

Kim Sung-cheol lowered his groaning, touching the tip of his chin. The mighty Salvation Soldier lurking in the basement of the archipelago Lagrein is confirmed by Kim Sung-cheol himself.

But that alone does not support Schnelmer's claim.

Kim Sung-cheol pointed out this part.

“Impressive story. But the evidence is still weak. ”

Schnelmer grins as confidently as he touches the long term horse on the map.

It was a crown-shaped organ.

The long term horse lifted by the delicate finger was soon placed on the south-west of the continent, on the capital of the Human Empire, Lagranze.

“There is something the emperor is secretly pursuing. Do you know what that is? ”

“You wouldn't even be here if you knew. ”

“As you know, the emperor commits himself to the welfare, justice, order, rule of law, and protector of the legitimate religion of all mankind. ”

“Was it?”

Kim Sung-cheol kept his mouth shut because it was a bit different from what Kim Sung-cheol knew, but it wasn't important.

“The important thing here is to be a guardian of a legitimate religion. As you know, there are the headquarters of the two most devoted churches on the continent. The Horacian Church and the Mura Church. ”

“I miss that name. ”

The two churches mentioned are also closely related to Kim Sung-cheol.

They interrogated Kim Sung-cheol closely, and the fact was engraved on the curse item in the status window.

“But can you believe it? That the emperor was carrying the support of the two churches and was gathering symbols and objections from the heretics behind? ”

“Heresy...”

The Humans of the Empire serve order among the five.

However, serving other gods does not make us heretics. They are also the Gods who govern this world and deserve to be worshipped.

Ethan refers to believing in something other than God.

The most representative is the one called Asin.

In Ixion, Kim Sung-cheol felt the damage of the worship of God more closely than anyone else.

“Are you saying the emperor reached out to the heretics? ”

Kim Sung-cheol asked with a different voice.

Schnelmer said with conviction.

“Yes. There is already a sacred chapel for Asin in the Vatican, and even now, emperor's swords, the hand of the emperor, are wandering the continents in search of the evil Ashin Monument." ”

“That's serious. ”

The five most solemn gods are so far away from humans that they do not respond well to any desperate prayer, but those who are neither gods nor men give immediate satisfaction if they pay the desired price.

Wealth, achievement of love, immortality, plague, natural disaster, or the death of a hated enemy.

“Even though the emperor has a powerful air fleet, he still wants to borrow the power of Ethan, which means he's at the top of the line. about the ghost of Ruettignia that remains everywhere. ”

“ ……. ”

Kim Sung-cheol has nothing to say about this.

I thought there was a chance.

But it's not a matter of making a quick decision.

Kim Sung-cheol rubbed his shoulders and said to Schnelmer, feeling a sudden rush of fatigue.

“So what's the conclusion? ”

Schnelmer must have been waiting for that.

The man who was telling a geographical story, with a bright face, brought out the words that had been hidden in his mind for a long time.

“It's simple. The emperor was disqualified from the beginning and abandoned the last dignity that remained. On the other hand, the commander of the Brigade, like the heroes of the age, quietly fought the disaster by himself and resolved two disasters already. So let's think about this. The treacherous Emperor and Savior of the World. Who would be better suited to a true king? ”

“ ……. ”

At that moment, Kim Sung-cheol felt a dangerous feeling.

It was because I could see the light of a faint frenzy in Schnelmer's blue eyes.

The old servant continues with an exhilarating tone.

“Your Excellency, Please be our king. to be the true king who will lead us into a single beam of light in this dying world. ”
