The Great Mage Returns After 4000 Years

50/156

Frey raises his head. It looks like a circle under the name Basilisk Tail, because the look on their mouths was so bitter that they could burst into tears right away.

Besides, what about the Antiquity Battle?

“Frey, I'm sorry. I think the circles are more cluttered than I thought. I think we need to figure out the situation. ”

“I'm fine. ”

“I don't think there's any place to stay around here. ”

The sun was already setting. Looking at the conflicting Beniant, Frey said:

“Can I come with you? ”

“It doesn't matter, but you can get caught up. ”

When Frey says he's okay, Benien nods. And the three ran to the forest at the same time.

When he jumped, Gisellan looked at himself and said, "I think I'm complacent.

“You're Frey Blake. I wanted to make the minimum arrangements to meet you. ”

“ · · · · · ·. ”

“Anyway, nice to meet you. ”

The shields were five layers stacked and each was very solid. It was a misuse to fit into the Circle's home in the past.

‘If you step the wrong foot even a little bit, you will be thrown out naturally. ’

However, the trees gradually disappeared, and the plot revealed was so shabby. Buildings are built, and people seem to be living well, but they are making small villages more vulnerable than the Circle's home.

When Beniang came, the people in the village approached.

“Master Beniang. I apologize for not being polite. ”

“It's okay. Where's Basilisk Tail more than that? ”

The man bites his lips like a fury.

“I think I'm leaving now. ”

“What artifact did we take this time? ”

“The red ring. ”

Red ring.

Frey frowns. Are you referring to one of the seven rings you made?

‘Then I left it somewhere. ’

Unlike Fray's unthinkable thoughts, Benien's expression hardened. She hurriedly looked around and looked for basil-risk tails.

At that time, I saw a herd of people walking.

“Oh, Master Beniang. Are you here?”

“ · · · · · ·. ”

A middle-aged man respectfully bowed with a bright face. It was impeccably polite, but the look on Trowman Rings' face, including Beniant, was not good.

Frey realizes they're basilisk tails.

“Rounder Antoine. You come to the circles a lot these days. ”

“My dear Trowman Rings, I want to relieve you of the heavy burden. Didn't I tell you? ”

“You said you'd only be grateful. ”

Despite Beniang's cold words, the man called Antoine did not lose his smile.

“I can't do that. Aren't we the only ones who have maintained alliances for decades? ”

“ · · · · · ·. ”

At that time, Beniant, of course, was furious at the expression of the members of Trowman Rings' circle. Frey did not know the situation in detail, but he knew that there was not a single person who thought well of their existence.

Antoine opens his mouth as he sweeps.

“I like to talk to Master Beniang closely, but we're a little busy. ”

“ · · · · · ·. ”

“I'll be going. I'll see you soon. ”

Beniang bites his lips. Antoine retreated from the village, still smiling.

1.

Beniang said he had something to think about and returned to his residence, and Freydo was escorted to his room. I rented the entire small house outside the village.

When I washed and changed, I heard a knock.

It was a man named Gisellan, the Force Aner of the Circle.

“Are you okay for a second? ”

“Yes.”

“Thank you.”

Giselan came inside and sat in a chair nearby. It's shabby to see if you've done it backwards. He looked down at his body and laughed bitterly.

“I couldn't even wash because I was in a hurry. ”

“It's okay.”

“Well, thank goodness. I was ashamed of you. ”

You're talking about what happened before. Frey didn't really think about it.

“I want to ask you a few questions. ”

“Tell me.”

“What is a Relic Capture Battle? ”

I held my gaze in the air for a moment. He hesitated for a moment, then slowly opened his mouth.

“The literal meaning. A duel where you fight with the relic of a hero and the winning side takes it all. It was originally an event designed to promote friendship between the circles, but now the meaning has changed a lot. ”

“Can't you say no? ”

“There are a few tricks, but they are now. ”

At this moment, Frey realizes that the circles are really not getting together in one place. Horses are circles, close to being forced together by individual forces who are busy restraining each other.

‘ · · · · · ·. ’

His eyes subsided, but Giselan laughed unawares.

“Approximately. So a circle called Basilisk Tail is after the relic of the Trowman Rings. ”

“That's · · · · ”

Gisellan stumbles, but soon Beniant's advice comes to mind.

‘You said it would be better to tell the whole story than to hide it clumsily. ’

He came to see Trowman Rings in a desperate situation. It was better to be honest than to lie and hold mistrust.

Gisellan nods.

“You're right. It's happened a few times already, and it's not over yet. Not even a matchmaker like that has a basil-risk tail. ”

“What does that mean? ”

“Relic Capture between circles is only possible once a month. The small and medium-sized circles around us are already united. They go back one month at a time and wage a Relic Capture. Whenever Master Benien or other executives leave their seats. ”

Gisellan bitterly looked at Frey, who had lost his words.

A 1: 1 fight can win, but it was no wonder they were all united. As there are no alliance circles to do this, Trowman Rings is now completely isolated.

“You know the situation in Trowman Rings is not good enough, right? ”

“Yes.”

“Actually, it's much worse than it's known externally. At the scale of less than a tenth of the peak, talented people are on long-term missions to build their performance. If you don't, it'll either be airborne or absorbed by other circles. ”

Frey was also surprised. I didn't know they were going to tell me this desperate situation. He was well aware that Trowman Rings was thirsty for talent. Even if they put a lie in their mouth, they would want to attract themselves.

Gisellan, who saw the look on his face and guessed how he felt, said:

“There was a Master Beniang who told you to be honest. ”

“· · · · · · Master Beniang. ”

“Early in the Seven Star horizon, a young hero who succeeded in defeating Apostle there. All the major forces in the circle are watching you. I heard you got a scout proposal from everyone in the Three Rivers. Is that true? ”

Dugenzar didn't come here for that, but he nodded because he had received an offer from Michael of Pisfinder Amritt in the past.

“Yes.”

“Huhu.”

Gisellan's attitude was forced to become superfluous. I wanted to somehow attract Frey because I felt like it. However, after a little coolness, I realized that it was meaningless.

Even if you lure him in with a lie for a while, it's not a good idea for Frey to leave the circle once he's satisfied. Gisellan knew that better than anyone.

Ossel Argento, the forerunner of the circle, died and felt stubborn when he left the Trowman Rings as far as most Forces Anors and trusted circle rounders.

It's a lie if you didn't expect it at all. If Frey had defeated Apostle, Trowman Rings would not have found an enemy.

If he enters the circle, the small and medium-sized circles around him will no longer be as active as they seem. Everyone knows how powerful the Seven Star Wizard is.

But it was literally a miracle.

‘There's no way things could have gone that well. ’

Fray has no merit for entering the collapsing Trowman Rings. With a little conversation, Gisellan realized that the young man in front of his eyes was a reasonable man worthy of the name Wizard.

A man like this doesn't blink an eyebrow even if he complains. That's not wrong. Rather wise.

Who's going to load up on that sinking ship?

“This is all I have to ask. ”

“Oh, yeah. Excuse me. Rest easy. ”

“If you don't mind, I'd like to take a tour of the town. ”

Gisellan nods.

“I don't care. Just don't snore around Master Beniang's house on the west end. I can live with my doubts. If you have anything to see of him, come to the house opposite. That's where I live. ”

“I'll keep that in mind.”

Gisellan leaves the room, and after a while Frey follows.

It's the home of the circle, but Frey feels like a small town. Frey slowly walks the street and looks around. Then I stopped and stopped walking.

“ · · · · · ·. ”

It was a statue.

A very large statue. It didn't even fit into this little town.

The man who had just entered the thirty was wearing an antique robe and was staring somewhere with a stubborn expression. Phoenix sits with a small figure on his left shoulder and a meandering old wooden staff in his right hand.

Underneath the statue was a letter.

[Luke Trowman]

Frey glances at the letter with his hands, without even knowing it.

“Do you like Lucas, too? ”

When I looked back at the voice I heard, I saw a young man. He was a beautiful man with a soft smile. When Frey stares, he respectfully bows his head.

“I'm sorry if you were surprised. ”

“It's okay, more than that. I wonder why you think I like Lucas. ”

“It looks like you're being sober. Well, it seemed like Lucas had a lot on his mind. ”

Frey turns his head again and looks up at Lucas' statue.

“I don't really like it. ”

“Ah. I see. I'm sorry. ”

I bowed my head once again with the face that he was excused.

“You're late for the introduction. This is Fianne. Not enough, but I'm in charge of Forces Aner in Trowman Rings. ”

Force Aner.

I never thought such a young man would be the executive of the Trowman Rings. Is that not enough talent? No. Frey looks at Fianne's skills. That was the same for Gisellan, who had just had a conversation.

‘It's not enough to lose to small circles. ’

Frey thought so and introduced himself.

“This is Frey Blake. ”

“I've been familiar with my mandate. That you defeated Apostle. It's a great achievement. I would like to express my sincere appreciation for Fray's achievements after listening to that story. ”

“Thank you.”

Frey lowered his head formally. And the conversation stopped. Fianne smiled embarrassingly at Frey's reaction, which was much colder than she thought, and said:

“I guess I interrupted. I'll be going.”

Then Frey grabbed him because he was about to leave.

“Wait, can I ask you one question? ”

“Oh, of course. ”

Fianne replied with a smile.

“I apologize for the disrespect beforehand. Aner Fianne. Why do you keep staying in this crumbling circle? ”

“Yes?”

Pienne's face was a little stiff. But Frey's eyes were serious. This was very important to him.

“Isn't that good enough for other circles? You're not the only one. Master Beniant or Aner Gisellan, all the members of the circle here. I don't know why I'm draining water from a sinking ship to the barge. ”

One day, Trowman Rings will disappear. Their actions are nothing more than slowing down that period a little.

“Fray is a reasonable man. That's the wizard's ear. ”

Fianne laughed bitterly and said, Frey knew it wasn't a compliment, but he didn't say anything.

“A sinking ship. That's an appropriate analogy. It's all true. And we also know the most realistic way

You know, taking the rest of the artifacts and scattering them into different circles. ”

Yes. The purpose of the circle is not the Tattoo of Demigod anyway. The collapse of a circle called Trowman Rings did not mean that someone had to lose their life or live miserably.

So I didn't understand.

“But we can't be that cold. ”

“Why?”

“That way, the Trowman Rings will be gone. ”

“What does that have to do with anything? ”

“Circles are an organization that connects the will of heroes. Fray, if we break down, Lucas' veins will also break. ”

“ · · · · · ·. ”

“I know it's foolish. I don't intend to force others to understand. But, Frey, in the first place, the origins of the circle began with respect for the great. ”

Fianne smiled faintly.

“Do you know why Lucas is the only cannabis in human history? ”

Frey didn't answer. Fianne continued to talk about what she thought was denial.

“Because he was the pioneer of all those who walked the path of the Mado. 4,000 years ago, it wasn't enough to say that the relationship between the Mademoiselle and the Wizard was the worst. Ignoring or despising each other, fighting for their lives took place a long time ago. So does the witch. I just treated them as heretics, and I didn't think of them as comrades on the same path. ”

“ · · · · · ·. ”

“Lucas didn't. As long as you use Mana, their essence is the same. He said he was a comrade with the goal of pursuing the end of the Mado. ”

Fianne smiled faintly.

“It was a small start. But somebody had to do it. It was Lucas who made his first move. It wasn't convincing at the time. A lot of people have been hostile to Lucas. Even the same wizard, but Lucas got over it. ”

“ · · · · · ·. ”

“Fray, I don't. Our circles. I admire Lucas more than anyone in the world for embracing those who have been aiming for their lives and for walking the same path. And if possible, I'd like to exemplify that noble spirit a little bit. I never want his trail to disappear from the world. ”

Frey was thinking of Shepherd and Feran.

Just by putting the names of their esteemed heroes in their mouths, their faces came to mind with a happy smile.

‘─ Ah. ’

Frey realized that moment. How they think of heroes. It was not simply to honour and pay tribute to the greatness that existed in the past.

For them, it was Lucas Trowman. It was a more important spiritual holding than life.

Fray truly understood their minds at this moment.

“Very well. ”

Frey turns away from Fianne, who scratches her cheeks with embarrassment.

“Lucas must be happy. ”

“Yes?”

“You will be very pleased that these successors have their own minds. ”

“Haha. I really hope so. ”

I thank them for respecting themselves. As much as they admired him, Frey also admired them.

I didn't mean to enter the Trowman Rings. However, Fray wanted to give a minimum return for the appreciation they had shown.

And the reward, it won't be that hard.

Fray's steps led to where Beniant was.

2.

Dialogue with Beniang did not last long. Frey asked only what he needed, and less than an hour later, he was able to leave Beniang's house.

I don't know if Gisellan, who was outside, looked at Frey's back and asked.

“Master Beniang. What did you talk to him about? ”

“I taught you something because I had questions. ”

“What if you're curious? ”

“Some of the disciplines that exist between the location of the basilisk tail and the circles. ”

“ · · · · · ·. ”

Gisellan's expression was a little stiff. I was worried that I might not be on their side when I asked where Basilisk Tail was located.

Benien's expression, on the other hand, was complex.

Frey's question came up.

One of the deepest impressions of it,

"Can I apply for a Relic Capture Battle in a circle as a wanderer? ’
