Swordmaster Healer

Chapter 46 The Runaway Mado Scholar (2)

The handsome middle-aged blonde with blue eyes who spoke fluent Korean was not only Seong-jun but also Lischevalt.

- Obviously the Maddox Zeros.

Ryshwald said that the Madodologist Zeros was a competent mathematician who stood beside him in his former life as Seung Jun's name.

I thought I would be purged of course, but I was lucky enough to escape.

He had deep knowledge of dimensional theory, so it was not too strange for him to reveal himself to another dimension of the Earth.

“You speak Korean well? Can you tell me your name first?"

Knowing Zeros was not the current Seongjun, but the former Rowkel, so he did not pretend to know him first.

“Ah-ha-ha… a knife……. ”

“Don't rush me, I'll tell you who I am. ”

Seong-jun did not remove the sword he was aiming at. I knew about him, but I couldn't slow down.

Zeros slowly pulls the necklace out of his clothes, expressing in his whole body that he has no intention to fight.

“Interpreting tools…… They're called items here. Anyway, thanks to this, I was able to speak freely here. And my name is Zeros. ”

He said his name. Although a little older than I remember, the mathematician Zeros was right, as expected.

“Why were you following me? ”

“Have you not heard my story from your mentor, Lord Rowkel? ”

At Zeros' words, Seongjun later remembered the convenient setting of 'Rowkel's disciple’.

The setting ‘Rowkel's apprentice’ allowed him to omit a complicated explanation of his rebirth. After clearing his mind, he opens his mouth with a calm expression.

“I think I heard it. ”

“This is not the time for this! Where is Lord Rowkel? You're alive, aren't you? ”

“That……. ”

Seong-jun explained the situation appropriately. He explained that Rowkel had died in the Great Plain of Lidonia. And Seong-jun became a disciple raised before that.

- That's a great description.

It was almost a sharp setting, but Lischevald was impressively dense.

“Th-that's it. ”

A glimmering hope fades from Zereth's eyes. However, soon after clearing his mind, he looked straight at Seongjun.

I have been reaffirmed by the death of Rowkel my whole life, but isn't there a disciple who has been given everything in front of me?

Then it was a matter of loyalty to him.

“What's your name? ”

“Kang Sung-joon.”

“I will be loyal to Lord Kang, as I was to Lord Rowkel in the past. Will you accept me?”

“Of course. Welcome. ”

Seong-jun happily nodded. If he joins us with deep knowledge of dimensional theory, it would be a great help.

In addition to the Awakening Dungeon, Seong-jun thought that there might be an option to attack the Empire.

He was a mathematician, but he was good with magic and magic tools, so he remembered that he had a class A Hunter level of combat power in the past.

“I swear it won't be a hitch. ”

“Yes, I believe you. ”

Because I have been under Zeros in the past, it keeps coming out naturally. Zeros seemed to take it for granted, so he decided to stop fixing it.

“I thought Master died and was executed... How did you escape? ”

“I was researching a gateway to a different dimension. When Lord Rowkel was branded a traitor and thought the Emperor's movements were suspicious, I was able to bring the experimental dimensional gateway to Earth. ”

Zeros explains. He is fortunate to have dodged the body, but the Emperor's Purge was, as expected.

“Unfortunately, we haven't been able to get rid of the data we studied on dimensional gateways and leaps. Perhaps they have helped to advance the bilateral invasion plan of the Empire and the Alliance of Races. ”

There was a dungeon raid on Earth, and the Hunters' era was accompanied by research that Zeros had not yet destroyed.

“But how did you know about me? ”

Seong-jun asked me the most curious thing. Based on Zeros' answer, it seems we can deduce how the pursuers of the Knights Brigade found him.

“I was listening to information from the Knights Brigade through Imperial aides to survive. Then I stumbled onto Sir Kang Seong-jun's" Fair Defense "video on Hunter .com. In the video, Kang Sung-joon's sword was not perfect, but it resembled Lord Rowkel's. ”

Zeros replied excitedly. It seemed to be talking about fighting Class S Hunter Chagyu.

There were many people around at the time. I knew some people used the video recording feature of their smartphones.

There are tracers of the Knight Brigade who have raided beyond dimension not long ago. They were also more likely to have seen the video on Hunter .com. They were disguised as contemporary clothing at first. I could see that I had some knowledge of this place.

“I knew it...? ”

“I take it you had other visitors? ”

Zeros asks a sharp question. Seong-jun lifted his mouth.

“I put him to sleep because he's an uninvited guest. ”

The corpses of the Knight Brigade pursuers were taken care of by the train. They're probably rotting in the ground somewhere no one knows.

“As expected, you are Lord Rowkel's disciple. By the way, which was it? ”

“Of course it's the Empire. ”

Seong-jun looked around with an answer. Then he looks back at Zero and opens his mouth.

“Is there a Node in Korea? ”

“No, but we've solved the long-term stay problem. ”

“Then let's go to my Node. We can stay there from now on. ”

Seong-jun naturally said that he would accept Zero as a family member. I felt I could trust him because I had experience with him.

Rather, my previous life experience made me feel more reliable than Jeong Cheol, Shin-cheol, and Jang-hoon.

“Are you sure you want to do that? ”

Zeros, who didn't know that Seong-jun was Rowkel, looked at Seong-jun who easily believed in him and asked.

I did not doubt that I would accept you as my subordinate, but I did not expect to live with you at the Node.

“No problem. What about Jim? ”

“I put it in my dimensional pocket. ”

“Don't you have a lot of luggage? ”

Seong-jun asked, He was also wearing a dimensional pocket, but it was often not large. Zeros opened his mouth with a smile.

“My Dimensional Pouch has been modified and is large. ”

Although dimensional pockets are complex structures, Zeros could not have been impossible to modify because he was an authority with deep knowledge of dimensional mathematics.

“Let's get going. We have a lot to talk about. ”

Seong-jun urged Zero. I wanted to hear a lot from him. Seong-jun took the Hunter Sedan with Zeros to the mansion.

There was a checkpoint around the mansion, but since Seong-jun was holding the wheel, Zeros was able to pass without inspection.

“Sir! Are you here now? ”

Zhang Hun, who was walking around in his own garage, ran to greet him.

“You got it done fast again. You're my big brother!”

“It was a Class A dungeon, so it was nothing. I guess I'm not used to that, huh? This is Zero. I've known him for a long time. ”

“Really? Nice to meet you. ”

Zhang Hun said hello without a doubt. Seong-jun introduced him as a reliable person.

Jang Hoon continued walking and Seong-jun and Zero went into the closet inside the mansion.

“The mansion's defensive equipment is substantial. There are a lot of patrolmen. ”

Most of the defensive equipment was buried in the garden, but Zeros could tell thanks to the power of the tool.

“I thought we'd better be prepared, because we don't know when the Knights will attack. ”

Seong-jun replied.

“I recently heard that the Empire seems to be on the move as well. ”

Zeros told me that it was easy to guess that the Knights of the Knights Brigade were tracking him beyond dimensions and that the Empire was moving differently than it used to be.

“Empire?”

“The Knight Brigades and Dimensional Maneuvers' Training Hall were attacked and the Tactical Tower was burned down. It's no secret that Rowkel's apprentice has appeared. ”

Zeros leans on his back with a serious look. Seong-jun opened his mouth to see Zero.

“I heard from the teacher that you are also talented in the Magic Trap for Defense... is that true?" ”

“It's hard to be very high-quality. ”

“It doesn't matter. I don't know when the Imperium and the Alliance of Specialists will attack, so I need your help." ”

“I have already pledged my allegiance to Sir Kang Sung-joon. We'll use a defensive enchantment to keep the troops from attacking us. ”

Zeros spoke with a confident voice. He was a genius who was talented in magic as well as in mathematics. Seong-jun's past life, Rowkel didn't get along with him for no reason.

“You can stay in the main house. Choose the room you want, and I'll make the basement your workshop. ”

Workshop existence was essential for wizards and mathematicians. On the contrary, Zeros smiled at Seong-jun's words.

“Thank you very much. ”

“By the way... ”

“Ask me anything. ”

“First, I have to explain this. ”

Seong-jun explained about the Awakening Dungeon. Zeros, who heard the explanation to the end, opened his mouth calmly.

“First of all, the dungeons and the phenomena we call radar here are all interconnected. by artificially creating a dimensional gateway in the coalition of empires and races. ”

Zeros began to explain the underlying theory. Seong-jun nodded and listened.

“The longer a dimensional gate is open that connects to the dungeon or radar, the more unstable the dimension will be. ”

“Dungeons and Raids were meant to destabilize dimensions...? Why would you want to destabilize the dimension? ”

“The more unstable the dimension, the greater the portal. What happens when that happens? ”

Zeros asked Seong-jun. It was a very simple question. Seong-jun opened his mouth with a serious face.

“An army will fall. ”

“That will start a dimensional war. Even though the Hunters awakened with the magical power that flowed in as the dimension became unstable, this area is magically rich enough for even ordinary soldiers. ”

Seong-jun nodded. On Earth, killing an armed civilian had little magical power to absorb, but in this world, killing a soldier could absorb even the slightest magical power.

“If an army of empires and factions begins a real invasion, the Earth may be wiped out. ”
