Became the youngest disciple of God of War - Episode 126

‘It's a surprise.’
I was reasonably confident in my courage, but for a moment, a shiver ran down my spine..
He is also the owner of an appearance that cannot help but be like that..
The first thing I saw was jet black hair.
No matter how black your hair is, it will feel bright to some extent when it hits the light, but that hair seems to be absorbing all the light..
The hair was even incredibly long.
Even with the naked eye, it looks like it could easily go over several meters..
Naturally, the hair flowed down the body, spreading out like seaweed on slightly stagnant water..
Even my bangs weren't neatly trimmed, so I couldn't see my face properly, but my body shape at first glance was smaller than I thought..
I don't think he was a being that could be judged by his appearance, but he was a kid after all..
“Has it been nearly 40 years since a customer came?…….”
There was no sign of hostility in his slow tone, but.
My instincts have been ringing alarm bells ever since I encountered this wizard..
‘this… I think something's messed up.’
I rubbed my palms, damp with cold sweat, on my clothes..
The intimidating feeling of absolute power that Iron Blood Ball and Assad have,.
The feeling of awe felt when facing a divine being like the devil.
I felt a different kind of pressure from this wizard than from those two..
First, I bowed my head with courtesy..
“My name is Ruan Badniker..”
Despite my polite self-introduction, the wizard responded in an annoyed tone of voice..
“In that body... I know that Badniker's blood flows. There is one thing this body wants to know right now. How did you solve all the problems? It wasn't something you could guess just because you were smart..”
The tone itself isn't slurred, but it feels strangely unnatural..
Just like a person who hasn't had a conversation in a long time.
‘40Isn't it strange that he said he was a guest for the first time in years??’
For some reason, I thought that the customer who visited just before me was Sanghyeolgong..
In any case, it wasn't an overbearing attitude, and there was no sign of trying to intimidate, but you must not let down your guard..
I gathered my thoughts to some extent and answered slowly..
“I have always been interested in forgotten times and unrecorded history..”
“Hmm.”
The wizard tilted his head..
“Delak, when he brought up the story of his son, whom I had never heard of before, I thought he was finally crazy... … . okay. He must have the minimum level of competency..”
“…….”
I've met a few people who easily called me by Sanghyeolgong's name, but this is the first time I've ever met someone who criticized me so openly..
I asked cautiously.
“Excuse… Are you the librarian of the underground library??”
“I also hold that position..”
The wizard spoke in a calm voice, then sat down on the mountain of books and stretched out his hand..
A book floating on the water was sucked into a pale hand..
The wizard said while flipping through the book..
“You asked for access to the library first..”
“yes.”
“What are you looking for?.”
“This is information about the devil.”
The wizard who was reading the book seemed to have not heard this up to this point, but his eyes turned to me..
“Devil.”
“yes.”
“It doesn't seem like you're something to talk about with your skills..”
I guess so.
When I remained silent and did not respond, the wizard said.
“Even though I'm still young, does that mean I'm from a [great family]??”
Not really.
Of course, because of what happened at this retreat, I became angry at the devil and the religious order.…….
Separately, the reason I am currently trying to obtain information about the Demon King is because of the death sentence..
“There is nothing more dangerous than premature knowledge... You got a total of 35 points by solving the problems I prepared. This means that you can rent books worth 35 points here..”
‘aha.’
It unfolded like this..
It seems that the wizard in front of me did not prepare a difficult problem simply to ward off the intruder..
Of course, considering that I cried my eyes and fingers every time I got a question wrong, I can't say that I have a good personality even with empty words..
“35How many books in total can I rent??”
“It will depend on what book you are looking for. Because each book has a different value..”
The wizard said, extending one hand gracefully, as if in a play..
“This is the tomb of banned books. Of course, the books you are looking for related to the Demon Lord are also stored, but their risk is particularly high even among banned books. Even the least valuable book deserves at least 10 points..”
“…….”
“Child, if you had Badniker's blood, you would also be a warrior. Depending on how you use the points you have earned, you will be able to borrow as many as you need, such as practiced training methods or martial arts books with tremendous power. But do you still want the devil's book??”
“That's right.”
It was an enticing statement to any warrior, but I nodded without any particular agitation..
“Hmm… good night. What kind of devil are you looking for?.”
“He is a colorless devil..”
“The information you want is.”
“entire.”
Then the wizard immediately answered.
“lack.”
“yes?”
“Child, you haven't heard anything about this place..”
The moment the wizard waved his hand, a strange cluster of lights began to wander around..
It looked like a simple firefly, and it also felt like the will-o'-the-wisps I saw in Yeongsan..
Anyway, thanks to that unidentified light, the surroundings became brighter... I was finally able to confirm the reality of this space..
“The total number of books stored here is about 200,000 to 30,000..”
“ah…….”
I realized at once that this underground space was bigger than I thought..
The bluish rays of light falling gently on the slightly stagnant water looked just like a lake in the middle of the night under the moonlight..
“- It's not a small number. Among them, there are probably over 1,000 books about the Colorless Demon King. Even if you calculate the minimum 10 points, you need 10,000 points to rent, but your score is only 35 points. It means it's not enough..”
“hmm.”
It was a place where a lot more books were stored than I expected..
Here I had no choice but to gather my thoughts for a moment..
Ambassador type… … . What information should we ask for about the Colorless Demon King first??
Appearance, personality, characteristics, martial arts learned and weapons used…….
Coincidentally, I'm probably the person in this world who knows the most about the great punishment..
However, that doesn't mean you can ignore the information here..
What I know very well is Baek No-gwang's first disciple, the best swordsman, Haru, not the colorless demon lord..
I needed some time to think, so I changed the subject slightly..
“Wizard, do you know anything about Shinsu??”
“why is that.”
“I asked the head of the family for advice on the new water contract. So you mentioned five divine beasts, and I chose a snake..”
“why did you choose a snake.”
“…I think it would suit me well..”
I turned slightly and the wizard fell silent..
I continued speaking after a short interval..
“From what I heard, the wizard knows about snakes. Can you arrange a contract??”
“…Tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk.”
At that moment, the wizard let out a dark laugh, and I clenched my fist discreetly..
Unlike the languid and transcendent atmosphere shown so far, there was a clear sense of malice in the smile now..
“Did Delac say that??”
“yes.”
“Other words added.”
I thought carefully about my conversation with Sanghyeolgong and answered..
“I heard that since the Black Fairy Kusset, no one has made a contract with a snake..”
“It's as they say. I have no intention of signing a contract with anyone..”
“…….”
I am?
At that moment, I suddenly came to my senses..
“Those words are…….”
“I guess Delac didn't tell me anything about me..”
Sooooo…….
The corner of the mouth, which was visible at first glance, was torn apart like a crescent moon, and the hair that had been floating like seaweed fluttered as if it had a will..
Wow-.
The hair soon turned into dozens of snakes.
Not a metaphor, really.
A group of snakes surrounded me, their long tongues lashing out..
Needless to say, it was an emergency situation, but…….
Ever since I was in the Jewel Mountains, I've had the strange idea that I've become terribly entangled with snake bastards..
“My name is Lyserradigos All High Mood. An evil dragon swimming in the deepest darkness, a mage of the black heavens who could not dye even the seven colors that crossed the sky..”
“…….”
I've heard the name Lycerradigos..
What I paid more attention to right now was this being's middle name..
all.
As far as I know, there is only one race on this wide continent that allows that middle name..
A race that has now disappeared from the continent and the ancestor of the Badniker..
“black fairy…….”
So the wizard in front of me is…….
Does this mean that he is a wizard, a divine beast, and a black fairy??
‘What a mixed breed-.’
Riceradigos said.
“That's enough about the contract, just ask about the devil again..”
This is somewhat of an attitude toward annoying uninvited guests..
I thought about digging into the contract a little more, but anyway, my goal was to be a demon lord rather than a divine beast, so I opened my mouth..
“Could it be possible for the wizard to tell you without renting the book??”
“What do you mean?.”
“I heard that a proper librarian's responsibilities begin with reading all the books in the library they manage. And I'm sure the wizard has read every book here..”
“Based on what.”
Since it looks like a place with nothing to do, you must have read a lot of books... Hiding my true intentions, I answered.
“Because none other than the head of the family said he was the [librarian of the underground library]. I don't know if you know, but the matriarch's standards are strict. Even if it is just a servant, if it does not meet the standards, it will never be acknowledged. That person said without a moment of hesitation that the wizard was a librarian..”
“Are you going to trust Delak’s insight?.”
“As far as I know, the head of the family is the most fair person in Badniker..”
Since I could have taken offense at this point, I spoke in a cautious tone..
“…So, could you please tell me the information about the books I need??”
“…….”
Lyserradigos, who was silent for a moment, laughed..
“He has a smooth tongue. Everyone who has visited this place so far has been preoccupied with banned books.…….”
“…….”
“You respect the profession of librarian, not me... … . It's not like Badknicker, but it's kind of fun..”
Wow…….
And the black snakes that were staring at me turned into hair again and sat down on the water..
The pressure I felt just now disappeared as if it had been washed away..
Only then did I sigh in relief..
“good night. Then, I will tell you the information about the Colorless Demon King based on my dogmatism and prejudice. Just 35 points worth of information..”
“If I have any questions while listening to you, can I ask you a more in-depth question??”
“So that.”
Lycerradigos said in a calm voice..
“first of all… The colorless Demon King is the most unique Demon King. No one has ever seen his face because of the jet-black armor that covers his entire body, but judging by his form and physique, he is the closest to a human..”
armor.
I didn't see you when I ran into you in hell, but is that what you usually wear?.
“I understand that even in hell, they do not form forces and move alone without any territory. Also, it is said that the faction that worships the Colorless Demon Lord no longer exists within the church..”
I asked slightly surprised..
“That means… Does this mean that it has become a completely separate force from the church??”
“Not really. Although there is little interaction between them, points of contact remain, and they show some signs of following the leader's orders... … . However, it is not as active as other factions..”
“hmm…….”
“The faction that follows the Colorless Demon Lord is the smallest and most secretive. They are hard to find beyond church members. The relationship with the Demon King is also one-sided, and even if you are a priest, you cannot communicate directly..”
More valuable and valuable information than I expected came out one after another..
‘First of all, it means that there are some religious denominations that follow the Grand Order, although they are small in number..’
To me, the big brother is still the big brother..
When I heard that there was an organization that worshiped such a person as a god, I had very complicated feelings..
‘…I want to meet you at least once.’
Of course, it is difficult to find ordinary church members, but it would be almost impossible to find the colorless church members who are the fewest in number and most secretive..
Somehow, I think I might encounter him at least once before I face him in earnest..
‘It's a premonition without any basis, but.’
After thinking about it carefully, I remembered the tantata I saw in hell and asked:.
“How is your relationship with other demon lords??”
“It's neither particularly good nor bad. The existence of the devil is generally like that, but.”
“Then, do you know the purpose of the colorless devil??”
“Nothing has been revealed as of now.”
“hmm…….”
“Lastly, the place where the colorless devil currently resides..”
I was surprised.
‘They even tell me this?’
Moreover, the wizard's next words gave an incomparable shock to the previous ones..
“The Colorless Demon King is currently at Yeongsan Mountain..”
