Record of a Thousand Lives

The Empress Kisifran and her two escort knights have entered the Imperial residence.

The Emperor's bedroom was over there.

The three stopped acting.

“My wrist hurts. I was forced to hide the terminal. ”

The user tried to remove the handset that had been crumpled into the sleeve.

Travellers had no choice but to hide the device in their sleeves.

“I'm sorry about Kisifran. ”

Iris picked up her fingertips.

Princess Kisipran's robes were both plain and old-fashioned.

“Don't worry, I dressed you up. ”

“May I? ”

“Of course. With his mouth closed, his arms and legs tied tightly with rope. ”

Yuxi said, giggling.

They tied Princess Kisifran up and hid her in the corner of the flower garden.

If found out by the Imperial Court, he will be executed immediately.

“Only if they don't find out. I'm glad the princess didn't see our faces. ”

Yuseo put on the angel mask again.

Kang Yoon-soo wore a mask without saying anything and stepped forward.

When I went to the bedroom, I saw the sleeping emperor.

The emperor was truly a magnificent basket fit for power.

“How can you poison an emperor when he's asleep? ”

Yooseo whispered and Kang Yoon-soo shook his head.

“This is not the emperor. ”

“Excuse me?”

“It's a stunt.”

Yuxi looked at the old man with white hair.

He was breathing evenly, but it looked strangely awkward.

There was no shadow on the sleeping emperor.

“Isn't this welcome? ”

“Touch it and the magic will work. ”

Yuseo chewed his finger while feeling uncomfortable that he had been deceived.

“You put a stunt on the spot? What emperor? ”

“We're not the only assassins after the Emperor's life. ”

Yuxi showed a curious color.

“Then where is the real emperor? ”

“Here.”

Kang Yoon-soo pointed to a gorgeous wardrobe.

They tilted their heads.

He goes to the wardrobe and opens the skylight.

It was full of gorgeous sweets and dresses.

“That's a lot of clothes. There's a hidden space behind the closet, too, isn't there? ”

“That's right."

“Damn, I'm bored. What the hell is Narnia? ”

Yuxi's voice sounded disgusting.

Kang Yoon-soo found a small groove among the piles of clothes.

It was a keyhole.

“I'll do it again when you unlock it! ”

Yuxi walks out of the sleeve.

However, Kang Yoon-soo shook his head.

“I need royal blood to open this closet. ”

“What? You can't open it. ”

Kang Yoon-soo pointed to Iris with the tip of his chin.

Yuseo clapped his hands.

“That's the way it is. ”

Yuxi bites the red jewel in her forearm.

Then his hair becomes white and his fangs become sharp.

Yuxi suddenly grabbed Iris by the wrist and asked.

“Well, it's delicious. ”

Iris looks at him with surprised eyes.

“Yuxi is free to change her species. ”

“That's the nature of my job. You can insert a special gem into your body to create a race trait. Ah, the blood of a beautiful woman is so delicious. ”

“But how long will you drink my blood? ”

“Hmmm, until my erection goes away? ”

“What is it? ”

“Don't you know that? What it is... ”

Qajik!

Yuseo avoided the crisis that almost destroyed both fangs.

Iris covers her red cheeks with her palm.

“…… Oh my God. I'm so, so ashamed. My face is burning. I can't even lift my head. ”

“Hey, is that all you got? ”

“That's it. ”

Kang Yoon-soo intervened.

She reaches out the back of her bloodied hand.

“Kang Yoon-soo, what should we do now? ”

“Put your bloody fingers in the hole. ”

Iris had blood on her index finger and put it in a keyhole.

The rattling of the cogs rings faintly, even though they don't fit.

A new space was revealed as it opened beyond the large wardrobe.

“Smells like an old book. ”

It was a library.

There were all kinds of books and parchments along the narrow path.

Yuxi found an old book rolling on the floor.

“Isn't this a book about the Logmaster's Hall? ”

"I've got a clue about the Priory Logmaster Hall.

Collect 77 Map Fragments that have been scattered across the continent to begin the trials left by the Logmaster.

You have qualified for additional compensation above the Crime Index of 500.

“These aren't just books. It's all valuable information. There's no place like here to wield the power of the continent. All right! Let's burn this place down! ”

Both of them silenced Yuxi's crazy remarks.

Kang Yoon-soo went deep into the library.

You see a faint lamp light beyond the dark space.

You hear someone's tired voice.

“The meeting hasn't started yet. Can't you just give me a little break? ”

A little deeper, the lamp glows.

An old man was working at the table.

He looked just like the emperor who was lying in bed.

However, it looked much more awkward because of the dark shadows and the jagged cheeks.

The old man glanced at Iris and continued to write.

“Kisifran, I told you not to tire your father. Like I said, I can't give you what you want. And why did you bring a man in a silly mask? ”

“Are you the Emperor? ”

He asked as if he was curious.

The old man frowned.

“What's with the accent? Be polite.”

“Ranford Leorcan. ”

Kang Yoon-soo said in a low voice.

“I am not your servant. ”

He sent out a terminal.

The emperor drops his weapon and stops.

“What brings you here from another world? ”

“I'm here to kill you. ”

* * *

Helkins and Lenox scour the area around the broken window.

The two knights find and track strange footprints, but are cut off from a dead wall.

You open up all nearby visits, but there are no signs of intruders.

“I looked through the Imperial Cage or the vault, but I couldn't find any trace of it. It does not appear to be intended as an asset or information breach. ”

“Damn, did these guys dig a tunnel somewhere. Ghosts will mourn. ”

Unfortunately, the two knights were utterly lacking in detective skills.

At this rate, the intruder who entered the imperial palace could have been seen and missed.

“Sir Helkins. ”

Helkins turns his head.

A man with shiny hair stands next to him when he arrives.

“Lumiere, what are you doing here? ”

Helkins nervously asked.

I couldn't wait to talk to this grim alchemist in a hurry.

“I was on my way to my lab. But I think I'm very busy watching it. You're looking for those who broke into the Imperial Court? ”

“I see.”

“I saw them, actually. ”

“Is that true? ”

Lumiere nods and says:

“Follow me. It was hard to believe even when I saw it. ”

Lumiere led two knights.

It was a dead end.

Lumiere tapped his foot twice against a dead end and hammered the back of his hand five times.

Then the secret passageway opened.

“They went in here. ”

“Were you just looking at it? ”

“What good is a humble researcher like me involved with intruders? ”

Helkins glances at Lumiere and says to Lenox,

“Let's hurry. We can chase them now. ”

“I understand.”

Lumiere watches two knights vanish into a secret passageway.

He mutters low.

“I hope this goes well. Seriously.”

* * *

Yuxi was so excited that she was pinching in front of her eyes.

To the face of the most powerful man on the continent, and to kill you!

Kang Yoon-soo was even crazier than he thought.

The Emperor of the Empire, Landford Leorcan, chewed his lips.

“…… is my daughter a hostage? ”

“This woman is not your daughter. Doppelganger.”

The emperor sighed.

He scratches his temples with a quill.

“Why are you trying to kill me? Apparently, he doesn't have anything to do with royal succession. ”

“You grow old at the age of sixty. It would interfere with my plans. So I need you to die now. ”

“The cause of death is: ”

“Poison.”

Kang Yoon-soo took out a glass bottle containing a Borat petal.

The emperor smiled bitterly.

“You're a bad hobby. I can't believe they're crazy flowers. ”

At that time, Kang Yoon-soo said something unexpected.

“Don't eat it if you don't want to. ”

“What are you talking about? ”

“Literally. You don't have to eat if you don't want to die. The choice is yours. ”

Yuxi opened her eyes wide.

“What's that supposed to mean? If you're going to kill him, of course you're going to have to force him. Did you feel weak coming here? ”

However, Kang Yoon-soo only looked at the emperor quietly.

The emperor sighed, alternating between the petals and Kang Yoon-soo in a glass jar.

“What do you think of the life of the emperor? A life where you can sit on the throne of all men from the beginning. ”

Yuxi said sarcastically.

“I don't know. I've never heard anyone complain so much about a beast. ”

“Are you a traveler? It's hard to fully understand what you're saying, but I'm sure I'll be satisfied. ”

Emperor Landford wipes his face with both hands.

His voice was soaked in the tears that had accumulated as an emperor.

“I was determined to lead an empire to greatness. Do you know how much mental energy it took to overcome the gossip, distortion, flattery and defend the throne of those poor nobles? But the result was devastating. All my efforts have gone back to bulldozing, and I'm tired of it. ”

The voice of the emperor trembles.

His pupils falter in fear of someone invisible.

“I'm not in charge of the imperial palace right now. All the power of the Imperial Court belongs to someone else. Since when? I've just been playing his puppet. It's too late to turn back now. ”

The emperor carefully opened the glass bottle.

He picks out the sparkling petals.

“A man's death needs a trigger. Maybe I've been waiting a long time for this. Yeah, I don't know. Should I thank you or hate you? ”

The emperor took a petal and put it in his mouth.

After a brief convulsion, the emperor starts laughing madly.

The emperor laughed.

I kept laughing.

And I laughed again.

Is it because of the petals?

Or did he really want to smile?

It was a hard laugh to tell.

The emperor who laughed until the end fell.

“What the hell is going on? ”

Yuxi could not believe the sight in front of her eyes.

The continent's most powerful man chose suicide on his own.

“What? Why did the emperor kill himself? You can either rebel or just die without a pulse. ”

“The emperor was very suicidal in the first place. ”

Yoon-soo Kang, who had returned hundreds of times, knew.

Lately, Emperor Ranford has been feeling overwhelmed and frustrated by himself.

Such vases piled up and came to old age in the last year.

Kang Yoon-soo pushed the emperor's tears that had been piled up.

“Is he really dead? ”

Yuxi checked the Emperor's pulse as if he could not believe it.

The emperor was really dead.

Yuxi looked at Kang Yoon-soo with the eyes of bored.

“Well, you led the emperor to his death by his own hand? ”

“I gave him a chance to kill himself. ”

“The emperor was seduced by your suggestion? ”

“Huh."

Yuseo shouted in astonishment for the first time.

“I've never seen such an assassination. Where in the world is someone who kills people in such a weird way? ”

“Here.”

Kang Yoon-soo boldly turned away.

I killed the emperor as I had originally planned.

All I have to do is find the alchemist who made Iris.

He walked out of the library.

It was just then.

A fierce blade flew to Kang Yoon-soo.

Screech-!

A hair grazes the tip of the blade and blows into the air.

If he hadn't immediately retreated, he would have been devastated.

Kang Yoon-soo took his hand to the hilt.

What is it?

It was an old knight who appeared on the other side of the darkness.

When I saw the fallen emperor, blood gushed from Helkins' forehead.

“You! You're out of your mind! ”

Helkin draws his sword, his eyes wide open.

Kang Yoon-soo pulled out his sword reflexively.

A sword struck two men.

Chang-!
