280fury. lucky accident (2)

The royal wizard Cesare di Bergamo.

Originally, he was a gold digger who lived a prosperous life..

The prestigious Marquis of Bergamo, who produced the royal wizards for generations..

He was born as the proud fifth son of that family..

From a young age, I grew up receiving all sorts of privileges..

As a son of a prestigious family who will lead the country in the future,.

As someone who will live with countless people at his feet,.

Without any shortcomings.

receiving an elite education.

I grew up enjoying all the privileges..

Thanks to this, I learned most of the basic theories of magic by the time I was ten years old..

Master was indeed praised as a genius..

Then I realized.

That you are a special being.

That he is an extremely noble and important person..

So, I think I deserve to be treated better and live like a special person..

I felt it and engraved it in my heart..

It was from then on..

The subordinates did not seem human..

Just become your own limbs and beg for help.

Bugs that will gladly lick your shoes at every word you say..

I grew up thinking that.

entered the academy.

I was treated well there too..

He is the 5th son of a prestigious family, a family that has produced the royal family's chief wizards for generations..

Because he is a member of a family that is even distantly related to the royal family..

Because his 6th great-grandmother was a royal princess..

Therefore, he also inherits some of the noble blood of the royal family..

No one in the academy could treat him poorly..

Other students had no problem.

The housemaster and professor did the same..

Even the dean was a classmate of his father at the academy and had a close relationship with him..

He made all kinds of conveniences for me..

That's how he ruled the academy..

With just one word, everything is done.

Grades, treatment, everything was up to me..

Thanks to you, I was confident again.

Even in this place where children of nobles gather, he says he is a special person..

Those of a lower level than you have good reason to be treated like bugs..

That's why.

He frequently harassed the children of low-ranking nobles..

There was no grand reason.

Seeing them pleading in front of him.

It was fun to watch it in itself..

Especially Julien Frontera..

I had the most fun when I was tormenting a small guy from a country estate in the eastern corner..

He was different from other guys..

Unlike other guys who can't even make eye contact after being bullied once or twice, my gaze never died..

No matter what kind of bullying he suffered, the next day he would look at himself with clear eyes..

Then, I got high grades every time, as if I had never been bullied..

He was a guy who had a taste for bullying..

He was a guy worth destroying..

So it bothered me even more.

They mobilized their subordinates and harassed me again..

I can't bear it at all, let's torture him until he dies..

A country bumpkin with no fundamentals like that shouldn't just get good grades..

It would be better to just give in, bow down, and lick your own shoes..

I deliberately harassed you.

Then something happened.

‘Lloyd Frontera…….’

Cesare still couldn't forget that name..

Julien, that damn older brother, whom he took the lead in tormenting intensively..

That man ruined everything..

I thought they were taking Julien out of the academy..

I thought they might gain the king's trust by building a strange suspension bridge in the royal capital..

There was an accident at the completion ceremony of the suspension bridge..

I told everything to the king..

tattle.

He said that such-and-such guys were harassing his younger brother..

It has tarnished the fair spirit and honor of the Academy..

told everything.

That's how he fell.

Lloyd Frontera told me about such and such guys.

It was because he was their representative..

The consequences of tattling were harsh..

It earned the king's wrath..

was expelled from the academy.

2I had to stay at home for a year..

The word was imprisonment, but it was the same as being imprisoned in a prison without bars..

But the real pain was different.

Loss of honor in aristocratic society.

It became a shame to the family..

He is the fifth son of the prestigious Marquis of Bergamo..

Thanks to this, greater punishment or torture was avoided..

So I was able to take care of my life and health, but.

I had to lose all other honor and future..

Out of sight of the king.

The path to government office is blocked..

It was openly ridiculed even in social circles..

Even at home, I became ignored..

Since that incident, my parents have not spoken to me until now..

My brothers and sisters had no problem.

Every time he saw me, he said it was a shame to the family and gave him a bug-like look..

Even the servants and maids in the mansion seemed to be bowing to him from behind.!

‘dare! On the subject of scum!’

He was truly angry..

He felt that his treatment was unfair..

His father went to the king and knelt down and begged him.

So even though it was difficult to select himself as the royal royal wizard,.

I thought it was extremely unfair..

Because he was special.

‘of course! My skills are much better than other wizards. A more noble bloodline! But I am at the end?’

This is ridiculous..

If your status and skills are.

Of course, from the time of selection, I thought it was necessary to create a position for the royal family's deputy wizard..

It was unfair.

On the other hand, Lloyd Frontera?

The guy who dared to snitch on him?

The one who ruined his life?

Incongruously, he was on a roll.!

‘A public servant!’

Recently, he was even appointed as a servant by the king for his contribution in subduing the Bone Dragon..

I was speechless when I heard the news..

No, it was still the same now that I couldn't speak..

“Nothing special here today?”

“…….”

Cesare was silent. He had a straight face. He looked at Lloyd in front of him with cold eyes..

Lloyd smiled with one lip and shrugged his shoulders..

“I guess something bad happened this morning? Well, relax. Well then, have a good day today too..”

Is that shameless?.

Or is it just a good thing?.

Lloyd Frontera, that miserable bastard greeted me as if nothing had happened..

This place, where the heart of winter is operating, was about to leave after completing the inspection of the refrigerant injection room..

Was it because of that nonchalant appearance?.

“Hey, wait a minute..”

Cesare called Lloyd without realizing it..

And impulsively I asked a question.

“They don't know who I am?”

“I know.”

“know?”

“yes.”

Lloyd Frontera looked back and shook his head..

And I said it as if it was obvious.

“Aren't you a wizard from the royal family to operate and maintain the Heart of Winter, haha?.”

“…….”

“Thanks to this, the heart of winter is stably supplying refrigerant and construction is progressing well. Next time, when construction is finished, we will have a company dinner with the work crew. Well then, good luck today too..”

“…….”

Lloyd Frontera greeted me with an expression on his face and left the refrigerant injection room..

It was because of that guy’s attitude..

Cesare left in the refrigerant injection chamber.

His face had already turned red..

It was because of uncontrollable anger and humiliation..

‘How dare he... … You don't even recognize me?’

It was absurd..

Still, I thought you would at least remember this one..

I thought he was going to ask if he was the one who bullied his younger brother in the past..

That wasn't it.

‘You don't even remember me. Because my life is ruined. I'm living around like a low-level magician for the royal family. On the contrary, he is doing well as a public servant of the royal family. dare… … dare. dare! On the topic of trash!’

A guy who ruined his life and doesn't even remember it..

The guy who doesn't even recognize this side.

Even now, that guy has become a superior and is exploiting himself.!

‘That guy is trusted by the king enough to be the general manager of the castle repair work... … Am I rotting here listening to that guy’s orders? why? why?’

I didn't understand.

I am a special being.

He is such a noble person..

I'm not the type of person to rot in a place like this..

I was filled with thoughts that something was wrong with the world..

The more I thought about that, the more my heart filled with the feeling that my life was ruined..

As one, two, five days pass by.

Such feelings of resentment and despair grew bigger..

And the day the upward shaft excavation began..

The day I received contemptuous looks from my brothers early in the morning at the family mansion..

He came to the scene and made his decision..

‘let's die.’

But I won't die alone.

That scummy Lloyd Frontera.

I will make that guy my companion on the road to the afterlife too..

Also, it will ruin that guy's work..

It will tarnish that guy's reputation..

I came to the scene as usual with a dark promise in mind..

I looked for a special opportunity all morning..

And finally it moved.

“……town?”

A fellow wizard who managed and protected the Heart of Winter together..

I took advantage of the moment he turned around and took out a dagger..

He stabbed me from behind and covered my mouth..

Confirmed that the opponent fell.

‘I do not have time.’

Outside the closed door of the refrigerant injection room are guarded by six royal guards..

Of course, their strict guard is facing outwards..

Thanks to the incredibly thick door to the injection room, I don't think I heard the sound of someone falling here just now..

The royal knights will soon notice that the inside movement is suspicious..

‘Right Now.’

I'll kill you all like a scum..

Especially Lloyd Frontera, you must be.

Cesare, pondering his bitter promise, stood in front of the special control box where the Heart of Winter was stored..

He mobilized all his magical powers..

It was a talent that I was told was a genius since I was young..

Even though I stabbed my colleague in the back and became alone.

Originally, it was a control box that could only be adjusted by combining the magic powers of two outstanding royal wizards..

When he tried his best, he managed to interfere with the control box..

‘that… … That's it!’

Adjusted the output of the control box.

Raised it to maximum.

To go beyond the limit.

So much so that the control box is damaged..

The response came immediately..

Tsussssss-!

With an eerie sound, the outside of the control box was instantly covered with frost..

Cesare standing in front of the box was no exception..

“……!”

In an instant, his body was covered in a surge of cold..

He tried to endure the cold without even being able to scream..

The heart of winter begins to dissipate chills at maximum power.

The time he, a mere wizard, could endure in the face of the power of that divine creature was only a moment..

and finally.

A cool crack appeared in the control box that controlled the Heart of Winter..

A bitter smile formed on Cesare's lips as he sensed the end..

“Is there a problem!”

Did you notice something suspicious late?.

The security guards came in, kicking down the door to the infusion room..

At that moment, a devastating blast of cold emanated from the control box and swept everywhere..

♣

Kuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu-!

“……uh?”

Lloyd lifted his head..

The excavation of a vertical shaft was in full swing..

Unlike before, it is a bottom-up vertical shaft..

Because it is a construction project that requires digging and climbing up..

I was particularly nervous and was watching the progress of the work..

But suddenly, I heard an unfamiliar vibration..

‘what.’

It wasn't that far away..

Judging by the intensity of the vibration and the sound, the direction of the tunnel exit seemed to be the epicenter..

Lloyd inwardly tilted his head..

‘The vibration was quite strong. But there won't be any vibrations like this from over there. Sufficient support materials were also installed. The condition of the concrete placement was also carefully inspected. So what about the rock burst phenomenon? no. Considering the condition of the ground, there is no possibility of that happening..’

Lloyd shook his head..

The rock burst phenomenon was a phenomenon in which stones on the inner wall were suddenly 'shot out' as if they were popping out due to the pressure inside the tunnel..

‘For example, it's like a tiny bit of pimple popping out..’

In fact, this was a phenomenon that occurred during tunnel construction in the European Alps..

Did you say that among the rocks fired into the tunnel at the time, some were as large as 2㎥?.

‘but… … no. That can't happen here. So what is it then?.’

I was nervous.

I was more concerned because this was inside a tunnel..

Tunnels can collapse even with minor cracks or subsidence..

If something like that happens, the entire work crew here will be in great danger..

‘It was like that when we drilled a bituminous coal mine in the past. Although it was because of ants. I set off methane gas to destroy them, and I was isolated with Javiel..’

But today?

There is no Javiel.

The guy went to the royal castle after being summoned by the king, as he did every day recently..

By now, an extracurricular class called ‘Haviel’s Grand Master Swordsmanship Class’ is being held for the King’s special swordsmanship training..

‘It would be difficult if something happened without him right now..’

Should I go and check it out?.

Thinking so, Lloyd raised his hand..

Attempted to send a signal to the work team to stop work..

But that was then..

Tsussssss…….

through the tunnel.

This way from the exit direction.

I felt the cold wind creeping in..

‘uh?’

Lloyd was shocked..

It was strange.

‘what. Why is the cold wind blowing here?.’

It felt like the morning breeze just as early winter frost began to fall..

But the problem was that it was blowing from deep underground tunnels..

The deeper the underground space, the hotter it gets..

Because it’s a space where cold winds can’t blow.

“Everyone stop working! wait here!”

The moment I realized something was not normal about this cold wind..

Lloyd shouted to the work crew..

I hurried towards the tunnel towards the exit..

‘I guess it's really strange. I need to check it out.’

An unfamiliar vibration that I heard a little while ago.

A cold wind began to blow afterwards..

Somehow an ominous feeling crept in..

As the intensity of ominousness deepened, his steps also became faster..

The faster he walked, the colder the air around him became..

From the frosty morning wind of early winter to the cold midwinter wind.

From the bitter cold winds of midwinter to the harsh cold waves of the polar regions..

Lloyd was already running by then..

‘It looks like something happened to the heart of winter or the refrigerant supply pipe or something.?’

I don't want to admit it, but.

I want to deny it.

Frost formed on the inner walls of the tunnel on all sides..

The cold wave scratches the skin in real time..

All other senses and senses made the ominous prediction a certainty..

But he didn't stop walking.

Even if frost settles all over my body.

Even if your breath flows white.

Instead, I ran even faster towards the direction from which the cold was coming..

I think it's true that something happened to the heart of winter..

If we leave it like this, the workers inside will all freeze to death..

I need to do something right now.

So let's first understand the situation..

I made a promise, prepared, and ran..

‘What if something really happened to the Heart of Winter? So if the cold air is leaking out. If the situation arises, should we at least set off a volcanic eruption in the direction of the passageway? So, can we push out the cold with that heat storm? no. If you do that in a clumsy enclosed space, you could all die from the oppression..’

So, I came up with my own way to respond. ran.

Finally, the refrigerant injection room where the heart of winter is stored..

Arrived at a terrible scene where a cold explosion had scratched the surface..

That moment.

Tsuquaaaa-!

How can I not even have time to look at the situation?.

A cold storm from the Ice Age hit him..

At the same time, his praise effect was activated..

Ding dong!

[Accolades held, this takes effect.]
