The Great Mage Returns After 4000 Years

123/156

Hector coughed in vain and said,

“Hmmm! These precious figures are lined up. On the 11th horse tower, moreover · · · · · ·. ”

His last gaze was on Frey. Hector paused.

“Uh, so. ”

I didn't forget my face. Fray didn't even mention his name.

“It's called Frey Blake. ”

“Oh, I see. Frey, are you here to find something? But it's too soon. Don't you have time until the deadline? Well, that doesn't mean I was lazy. ”

I'm so distracted by the words pouring out like a quickie. Last time I felt it, Hector destroyed the image of the dragon that Frey had.

Frey shakes his head slowly.

“I'm not here for the Golem. ”

“So?”

I look at Cairo without answering. Then Hector narrows his eyes.

“Hm · · · · ·. ”

I've come to save you. Cairo certainly said so.

At the end of the day, Ali comes back with a red tea, but Hector smiles softly and bites her.

“Get out of my way for a second. Ali.”

“Yes, my lord. ”

Hector was silent until Ali's back was completely gone. Then I twisted my hair out of the straw hat and opened my mouth.

“What do you mean, you're here to save me? Is it related to the recent weakening of the road's influence? ”

“Has Rod's influence weakened? ”

“Yes.”

This was new information. Maybe we can save other dragons besides Hector. Frey opened his mouth with that thought.

“Then we'll have a quick conversation. To be brief: · · · · ·. ”

Frey told us that the current road is not an easy one to move, and that Demigod has been in a crisis for thousands of years.

As the conversation progressed, Hector's face, which at first was a joke, became more serious, and at the end of the day, it became a serious face without before. He pondered for a moment without answering immediately after Frey's talk, and then slowly opened his mouth.

“I see. But there are many loopholes in your story. ”

“ · · · · · ·. ”

“Above all, Apocalypse Three is too blunt about why he was fatally injured. You have something to hide. ”

Of course.

No matter what else, it was impossible to cover that part of Fray's side.

The power possessed by an Apocalypse individual is ridiculous. Those here know better than anyone else. There was no such thing, and he suffered three fatal injuries.

This was not a story that could be turned into a lie.

“Mmm. ”

Cairo also shed a drool.

When Frey explained a similar story by asking him to join the force, perhaps he also felt disguised.

And yet, the reason I didn't go beyond that is because I thought about myself.

“Whoo.”

I finally sighed.

If you hide any more, you can't avoid their suspicions. Unbelief will sprout and we will not trust each other in the worst possible circumstances. That is a situation that should be avoided as much as possible with Frey.

‘I can't help it. ’

Frey looked at the faces of those on the left. Diablo, who succeeded in subjugating Hector, a former dragon, as well as after a bloody struggle with Cairo and Demigad, who founded Paragon.

They can be trusted. Unlike the corrupt in the circles, they have a clear identity and a clear motive.

Frey made up his mind.

“I'll talk to you briefly. Demigod had a traitor. ”

“Traitor? To demigad? ”

“Yes, Ricky, the demigod with the power of the sword. He was a traitor.”

“Apocalypse!! ”

“If it's Ricky, it's Ricky. ”

[Umm!]

All three of them flinched. The former circle master, Cairo, may have known, but he didn't know Diablo and Hector.

No. Isn't that weird? One is a dragon who fought with Demigad for thousands of years, and the other is an acrobat who has lived a thousand years.

“You never even imagined a traitor coming out of Demigad. ”

[It is clear that this has never happened in at least the last hundred years]

“Now, wait a minute. So what happened to the demigod? ”

Neither was Hector urgently asked. If the treacherous demigod gives us strength over here, there will be no stronger army than that. Besides, he's a monster who's been critically wounded by three apocalypses.

But Frey couldn't tell them the answer they wanted.

“Dead.”

“Ah. ”

“· · · · · · · Such. ”

[· · · · · ·]

Immediately, the atmosphere of the left side subsided and the hue of the infiltrator hovered.

Frey shifted his head.

“Even so, it doesn't change the fact that Ricky created a tremendous opportunity. ”

“Certainly.”

Hector shines his eyes.

Three critically wounded Apocalypses, Rod dedicated to their treatment. This is the perfect chance not to come again.

“The last remaining apocalypse, Raylin's Apostle, is also dead. She'll be in hibernation soon. ”

“Hmm? What is hibernation? ”

And most people don't even know about Demigod's hibernation.

It was Hector who solved Cairo's question.

“If you kill Apostle, that demigod will fall into hibernation. You can't even wake up that long sleeper. There's a difference between individuals, but roughly a hundred years will just sleep quietly. ”

“Ah! That's right! If you kill Apostle, that's why Demigod hid himself! ”

Cairo nods loudly. Frey looked at him and said,

“That's not all. Ricky gave me one more hint. ”

“Hint?”

“He said he might be able to get help from a demigod named Elijah in the northern snowfield. ”

[Elia?]

Diablo makes a panicked voice. Cairo's gaze turned to him.

“Diablo. You spent hundreds of years in the North Snowfield. Do you know that demigad named Elijah? ”

[Aldama. It is because of her that the winter of the Northern Snowfield does not end. But I don't believe Frey.]

Diablo spoke in a confused voice.

“Why?”

[I know she's going around the world, but she doesn't care as much as she does.]

“Ricky said the same thing. ”

Frey murmured and thought about Ricky's words.

A freak who doesn't care about humans or demigads.

The only demigod who even gave up control of the road.

You shouldn't sing this word. It's not as friendly to humans as Ricky. It's not a plus factor that doesn't interest me. If you try to have a quick conversation, you may be attacked for answering questions.

“But the merit of attracting a demigod is immense. ”

[· · · · · ·]

Neither did Diablo deny it. He sighed heavily.

[100 years ago, Elijah contacted me. She offered me an apostle.]

Shake Diablo's head.

[I declined. The power of Mana is incompatible with divinity. I wanted to see the end of the epistemology, so I had no reason to accept it. And shortly after, I almost died on her.]

Cairo trembled.

[Critical injury near extinction. It took me 20 years to heal.]

“She's dangerous? ”

[Well, that would be a difference of opinion. The violence that Elijah wielded upon me was mere fury.]

Diablo sighs.

[· · · · · So I hate demigads. They don't have the qualities they deserve in their lifetime. He's just a kid who doesn't even know what's in his hand.]

Cairo is silent. He's been with Diablo for decades, but it's the first time he's heard of why he hates Demigod.

[Nevertheless, if you intend to attract Elijah, I will cooperate as best I can. Her power is at the top of the line, among the demigads. It is apocalypse class even if it is captured as a minimum. If you could attract them, you wouldn't be jealous of a thousand horses.]

And add a moment of silence.

[Of course, I don't know if things are going to go smoothly]

“That's enough. ”

Fray's gaze turned to Hector.

“Anyway, here's what we do. Have you been convicted?”

“Enough.”

“Fine. It's too late to ask. Hector, do you intend to be rescued? ”

Then Hector nods loudly as if he has something to think about.

“Of course! This place is hell for me. I was just waiting for this moment to come. ”

“ · · · · · ·. ”

At the end of the day, Fray and Cairo, as well as Diablo, had a strange gaze. Then Hector said unfairly.

“Gee, I'm serious. ”

“· · · · You don't mind if I take you out right now, do you? ”

“If you just break the shield at the grocery store. Diablo. It's not going to be that hard. ”

[There's a magic scroll on the stairs. It will take a long time with the power of the road.]

Diablo said that and walked towards the basement staircase.

Hector shrugs.

“That's gonna take a while. So, how do you want to go see the golem you asked for? ”

“Already made it? ”

“I held the skeleton and the dog. The insides are empty, but you can see what it feels like. You get feedback there, you coordinate it, and you get more completeness. ”

It made sense. I was curious about what it felt like to be made, even though I was outwitted about Golem.

“Good.”

Fray followed Hector's back. Cairo follows. It would be better than to stand there securely.

When I entered the grocery store, a large room appeared. This basement was much deeper and wider than Fray thought.

Drugs and iron smells. Frey could easily tell that this is the workshop where the alchemy process takes place. The maids who looked like golems were moving around and making something.

‘It's a well-made workshop. ’

There were potions and materials, as well as furnaces. Perhaps the floor level of the Horse Tower is much higher than the workshop.

It's a little too bad you're leaving. Thinking about it, after passing through the workshop, I enter a room. It was a very dark room.

“Wait a minute. I'll light a lamp soon. Here it is. ”

Bloom

At the same time as the burning of the lamp, the surroundings were brightened.

“ · · · · · ·. ”

And Fray and Cairo, in the unfolding of the spectacle, forgot the words of the moment.

Dozens of golems lay in delight. It's probably where the golems aren't working. Of course, if that's all it is, there's no reason to stop talking.

Golem was all looking like a girl. I'm wearing a maid's uniform there.

Frey became a serious face.

“Is this what the golem I asked you to do? ”

“Let's worry about selling. I'm a professional. It's amateur business to bring personal taste to work. ”

I was rather anxious to be so sure.

And finally, at the end of the room, there was a golem made by Hector.

It was a silver-haired girl.

“What's different? ”

“You're not a maid's outfit. ”

“ · · · · · ·. ”

“This is a huge concession. ”

Fray and Cairo exchanged views and concluded at the same time.

This guy is real.
