< Episode 315. The chaos has already begun >
There was silence for a moment.
But that was only for a moment, and Minus spoke again.
“The emperor sent me a letter.”
I listened in silence.
“We will soon be at war with the Southern Kingdom Alliance, so I requested 40% of the family’s assets and 70% of the troops. “Even if I had only asked for one of the two, people would have asked me if I was crazy, so I asked for both.”
Minus smiled wickedly.
“I’m asking you to take a look at this. “Hehe.”
“You started a fight for conditions and reasons that were more ridiculous than I thought.”
“Whatever the reason, our family cannot accept such conditions. The moment you accept that letter, you will become an asshole. Rather, thanks to that unreasonable demand, we had a justification to persuade other families in the West.”
A crushing sound was heard from Minus’ fist.
“It’s a little earlier than expected, but it’s war.”
“The Empire is strong.”
“okay. That’s what you’ve been saying for so long. So, I was quite prepared.”
He smiled leisurely, as if he was really confident.
“More than that, the emperor must already know that the letter he sent was an absurd request. Perhaps calling you urgently was part of the palace’s plan.”
“I already know that there is something hidden in the royal name that called me. But you can’t disobey the Emperor’s command without a reason.”
“If you go, you will definitely die. Do you think I’ve been pretending to be friends with you for no reason? “You’re already in the same boat as me, so you’ve become an advertisement for a local bar.”
It seems that my initial prediction was correct.
The Emperor was now preparing to proceed with an episode of great chaos.
And if the letter I sent to Minus is true, then my reason for calling me to the imperial palace would be as Minus guessed.
“it’s okay.”
“What do you mean it’s okay? “If I go, I’ll die?”
“I’m not dying.”
It was obvious that word would quickly spread through the students at the academy that I had already gone to the imperial palace to prove that I was a superhuman. So no matter how emperor he was, he couldn’t kill me outright.
“No, you will definitely die.”
“Your Highness Morhaime.”
I know what Minus is worried about.
Even if they don’t kill you outright, if they see that you were called to the imperial palace in a hurry, they will try to kill you by any means possible.
“I’m really fine. So please focus elsewhere rather than on me.”
“······If you say it that way, it means you have something in mind.”
I nodded and said quietly.
“Take your time by delaying responding to letters as much as possible. In the end, instead of responding, he exposed the contents of the letter to the entire empire to gain sympathy.”
“I still think so.”
“Besides, please check again what I said before.”
After saying that, I took out a piece of paper from my pocket and wrote something down. After taking some notes, I stood up.
“I’ll just go. Sir Xavier will be waiting.”
“If you ever get in trouble, come to my family.”
“Has confirmed.”
With those words, I left the teahouse alone.
Then Vivian, who had been waiting, approached me.
“Vivian, I have a favor to ask.”
“huh.”
“I am the only one who can enter the imperial palace anyway, so would you please follow this note?”
Vivian, who received the paper I handed her, just looked at me without checking the contents inside.
“Do not worry. “I’m fine.”
“huh.”
Only then did Vivian read what was written on the paper.
“this······.”
“It’s a way to save me. “Right now, the only person I can ask for is Vivian.”
Vivian’s eyes wavered.
After checking all the notes, she glanced at Xavier approaching to urge her and gritted her teeth.
“······It was a trap.”
“Please, Vivian.”
“If we really do this, Adrias will be safe, right?”
“Sure.”
Before I knew it, Xavier had come nearby.
“Is the story over?”
“yes. Thank you for waiting.”
“egg plant.”
I immediately followed Xavier, who was leading the way. But Vivian moved in a different direction.
“What about the escort driver?”
“I am the only one who can enter the imperial palace, so I told you to rest nearby.”
After hearing my answer, Xavier walked without any sign and immediately caught a carriage.
“To the imperial palace.”

The word superhuman was originally used in the Empire to refer to auror masters.
‘That’s why the event to test Auror Masters was called the Superhuman Proof.’

A type of event that all Auror Masters of the Empire must attend.
‘I thought it was just an event in the game, but now it’s turned into a trap trying to kill me.’
The Superhuman Certification is a test that only the Empire’s Auror Masters can take, and if you succeed in the certification, you can receive one of several benefits to choose from.
The benefit was not light, so I used it quite usefully, but now was not the time to think about such things.
“You can come in right away.”
As soon as I arrived at the imperial palace, I was immediately guided to the main hall where the emperor was.
When I entered Daejeon with Xavier, I walked while hiding my expression as much as possible.
Scream!
The emperor was sitting at the end of the daejeon, and the famous imperial guard knights were lined up around him.
“Adrias Cromwell, Earl of Cromwell.”
As I knelt down on one knee far away, the emperor opened his mouth.
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
“How old are you this year?”
“I’m turning twenty-five.”
The atmosphere was strange.
In the first place, the superhuman proof I experienced in the game was held in front of not only the emperor but also many ministers.
“That’s amazing. “To be an Auror master at that age.”
“That’s too much praise.”
“Can you demonstrate it now?”
“Yes, you can.”
I understood that permission had been given and immediately used my wings.
Whoaaaah–!
A pair of wings was created along with a dazzling light.
Originally, it was only one part, but after experiencing hell, it seemed like it had become more and more part of it.
“haha.”
The emperor looked interested, and although it was an unexpected reaction, he looked quite surprised at the mercy.
“Is that your Auror secret?”
“That’s right.”
“I only heard that there was one, but now I see they are a pair.”
“They were originally a pair.”
There is no need to say that I have grown.
Is this the end of the proof?
In fact, the certification of superhumanity itself was just a kind of event and not a place to determine the authenticity of the Auror secret.
It is a ritual to show one Auror secret and end it.
“What do you think, Sir Xavier?”
“I was surprised.”
Is it really that surprising? Come to think of it, Xavier told me I wasn’t an Auror Master.
“It’s surprising that even though it’s not an Auror secret, it has such special abilities.”
······what?
“Hmm, I guess so.”
The emperor turned his gaze to me.
“Is that magic, not Auror secret?”
“······Hwang Songhao, but I don’t understand what it means. “This is definitely not magic.”
“You might be embarrassed. “Jim will be happy to explain.”
Boom!
As if to focus the emperor’s attention, he stamped a mysteriously colored sword on the floor.
“Lord Xavier is an Auror Master. And imitating Lord Xavier’s Auror skills.”
Mimic?
As soon as I heard that, a hypothesis immediately came to mind.
The reason why Xavier was immediately convinced that I was not an Auror Master.
And the reason why they could say it wasn’t an Auror Biggie even after looking at my wings.
“Lord Xavier is strong and weak. This is because it becomes stronger or weaker depending on the opponent’s Aura strength.”
Xavier’s Auror Biggie.
If one were to guess what the Emperor was saying, it was clearly that he was using the same Auror secret as his opponent.
“Do you need further explanation, Earl Cromwell?”
“I understand.”
So, when you saw me, you immediately realized that I was not an Auror Master.
“Now, let’s talk about something else.”
Boom!
The emperor drew his sword again.
“Not to mention how dare you pretend to be an Auror Master. “Even though I was an Auror Master anyway, the reason I called you was for a different reason.”
Tension surrounded Daejeon.
The momentum of the lined up guards instantly focused on me.
“Adrias Cromwell.”
Madness flashed in the emperor’s eyes.
“Where is the original sin?”
**
sssss-
A black energy secretly crawled across the floor.
It wandered around the manor as people passed by, but no one noticed anything strange, as if it was invisible to the eye.
Soon, that energy went somewhere and was naturally absorbed by someone.
“There’s nothing wrong.”
It was Jester Levan, a person wearing a unique outfit that absorbed energy.
Sussseu-
There were shadows moving secretly around him.
They were his subordinates who belonged to Jester’s faction.
“The time has finally come to avenge the humiliation. “You even get paid.”
Jester let out a satisfied laugh.
A territory that was neither big nor small came into his field of vision.
“Cromwell.”
Terror against the territory of the empire.
It may have been considered crazy, but Jester had already received a promise of compensation from the imperial palace.
“There is talk that there may be Moron Dwalski and Luna Pendragon inside the territory, so if you encounter them, do not fight them and back off.”
“yes.”
“Those two have to hide their identities anyway, so they won’t be able to use black magic openly like us.”
I had already heard about the presence of Morn and Luna through Paisi.
But those two didn’t get in the way of the plan.
Rather, the moment either of them used black magic, they could have been accused of being the culprit of this terrorist attack.
“Our goal is the destruction of the estate and Amy Cromwell, Adrias Cromwell’s only blood relative.”
Jester, who was speaking, pointed to some of his subordinates.
“Amy Cromwell must be captured alive. “It’s part of the deal he made with the imperial palace.”
“I understand, master.”
Those that Jester pointed to.
They were none other than prisoners.
Their bodies, which were already superior to those of humans, were strengthened with black magic and the seal of slaves was engraved on their bodies.
“For the rest, just use magic from a distance. It doesn’t matter how many you kill. Rather, the more you kill, the better.”
As Jester continued speaking, the atmosphere became more intense. The destructive instincts of the warlocks that had been suppressed for so long began to flow out with madness.
“Now, take your seats. “I will cast the first spell.”
As soon as the words ended, the shadows dispersed.
“It’s finally time to use this guy.”
When everyone disappeared, Jester, who was left alone, took something out of his pocket.
A black cube in the shape of a regular hexagon.
It was the starting point of all these bad relationships.
“sloth.”
The use of sin required the consent of other chieftains, but Jester could not bear it.
“Adrias Cromwell, watch as everything you have built is destroyed due to the laziness you gave me.”
Thinking about what had happened to Adrias, it was difficult to endure.
“Salem Yedidiah, Hagel, Morn Dwalski, if it weren’t for their help, he would have died a long time ago.”
But that too is over now.
I don’t know exactly for what reason, but the Emperor was trying to sort out Cromwell.
I just put a little spoon on it.
“Before that, I will let you experience all the despair called despair.”
The sloth in Jester’s hand slowly began to move.
After already completing the owner engraving as a named item.
It was clear that other factions would say something later, but it didn’t matter.
Clap-clack-clack-clack-
The cube started making noise and moving.
