I Became God of War's Youngest Disciple - Episode 135
135fury
‘Wouldn't that be so??’
I don't know exactly where the king's tomb is, but I think the king's remains are generally buried in the islands..
It's even the remains of an unknown king..
He is the most recognized and respected king of all time..
There is a high possibility that he was buried in his hometown rather than in the system, but even the name of the Unknown King, let alone his origin, is still a mystery..
According to records, it appeared suddenly as if it had fallen during a time of war.…….
However, from the description of the size and appearance of the Nameless King's most famous weapons, the Seven Sins Sword and the Red King's Gap, it was possible to tell that he was a human..
The most famous thing was that it burned brightly like a sunset..
[If so, there must be a piece of Ichichu somewhere here..]
‘It is said to be a piece of autumn.…….’
[It's one of the seven pieces needed to restore the Seven Deadly Sins Sword..]
i closed my mouth.
Come to think of it, the Seven Deadly Sins Sword was now half destroyed. Even in this state, it was quite usable, so I forgot about it..
[That's good. I got it while I was here..]
‘Is it really necessary? I don't think there will be any advantage to me in restoring the Seven Deadly Sins Sword..’
[I know that Yeonja has a tendency not to rely on weapons. However, obtaining the Piece of Ilchu does not simply mean that the Sword of Seven Deadly Sins becomes stronger..]
‘Those words are?’
[The restoration of the Seven Deadly Sins Sword means the restoration of my existence. As I said before, there are limitations to simply conveying information in its current state, but as we obtain pieces and restore the Seven Deadly Sins Sword, those limitations will become lighter..]
‘Then can you tell me about Master??’
Then the warrior seemed to laugh bitterly and said:.
[That's still a long way off. Still, if you collect the pieces, you will definitely find out someday..]
‘hmm…….’
Actually, there are many directions where I can get information now..
Because there was Sanghyeolgong and Rise,.
but…….
Somehow, I thought that the person who knew the most about the forgotten era was the forgotten martial god..
In any case, he was the one who witnessed that era firsthand..
‘It is the Tomb of the Nameless King.…….’
I have a question to ask.
I got up from my seat, immediately opened the partition door, and went over to where Hector was..
There were only two people, Hector and Seren, who occupied this spacious compartment, and a rather funny scene unfolded inside..
These two guys were sitting end to end as if they didn't even know each other..
Seren was looking outside with a bored expression with her forehead against the window..
Hector seemed to be reading a book.
“I get motion sick when I read a book in a carriage..”
“…I’m not prone to motion sickness, so it’s okay..”
Hector closed the book and looked at me..
“Do I have something to do?.”
“I have something to ask.”
I immediately explained the situation to Hector..
Hector listened to my story, thought deeply, and then opened his mouth..
“I want to enter the Tomb of the Nameless King... … . It's not impossible, but it will be quite difficult..”
“why?”
“When it comes to the founding king of the empire, most people choose Xinus I, but some say that the unknown king is the true founding king. In any case, it was the nameless king's achievement to unite the seven races and establish an empire... … . Therefore, the Tomb of the Unknown King is located in the deepest part of the imperial palace manor..”
“That means…….”
“Basically, no one except the royal family can enter..”
You're hitting a goal.
I thought for a moment and then asked.
“Being basic doesn't mean there are exceptions.?”
“Yes. If you can accompany the royal family, you will be able to enter..”
Because of the royal family…….
To ordinary citizens, they may be like the moon above the clouds, but in times like this, their status as badniks came in handy..
Badniker is a family with great power, one of the most powerful in the empire..
Even if they are members of the royal family, they are not inferior in rank..
“Could you please let go of the strings??”
“I didn't know you were so interested in the Nameless King..”
Hector spoke in a slightly surprised tone, and added with an embarrassed face..
“It's not impossible, but... It's difficult right now. The only person I have a close relationship with in the imperial family is Lantus, but he won't be in the system right now..”
If it's Lantus, he's probably the 4th prince..
This is the guy who also participated in Badknicker’s blessing ceremony..
“Hmm…….”
As I was thinking, Hector said:.
“That doesn't mean there isn't a way. Our destination happens to be the academy..”
“what do you mean?”
“There are two members of the royal family currently attending the Academy..”
“oh… who?”
“3The prince and the 4th princess. If you become friends with those two people, you will be able to enter the Tomb of the Nameless King..”
Hector spoke in a slightly embarrassed tone..
“Of course, it will not be easy to get to know them in the academy environment, transfer student status, and the limited time of three months..”
“Umm.”
“Personally, I recommend Glenn, the 3rd prince. Because she heard that Princess Ferist, the 4th princess, does not enjoy her interactions..”
“okay. thank you.”
“…okay.”
And Hector looked at me and suddenly cleared his throat and said:.
“Ma, I’m asking you to do this for the youngest, so I can do this as an older brother.-.”
“Hector? Wait, are you okay?.”
At that moment, the coachman slightly stuck his head out..
“What's going on?”
“You will soon arrive at the academy, but you will need Badniker's seal before entering..”
“hmm… i get it.”
Hector left first with a sad look on his face, and I was about to leave because I had nothing more to do..
“you.”
Suddenly Seren grabbed me..
“why?”
“What business are you going to the Tomb of the Nameless King??”
I responded while looking at Seren's unique glass bead-like eyes..
“I was originally a bit interested in the Unknown King. It was my dream to stop by once when I came to the islands..”
“That guy didn't even know where the Tomb of the Nameless King was.?”
…It's sharp?
As I kept my mouth shut because I had nothing to say in response, Seren hesitated for a moment and then spoke..
“Don't approach the royal family carelessly..”
“what?”
“anyway.”
Seren just said those words and closed her eyes..
“…….”
If someone else had said the same thing, I would have taken it as meaning not to act rashly in front of the noble blood of the royal family.…….
Seren's words are somehow meaningful..
‘…Is there something about the royal family??’
There was no time to continue my thoughts..
At that moment, the carriage stopped, and the coachman's voice was heard..
“Arrived at Cartel Academy!”
* * *
Among the 'Twilight Rivers' that cross the islands, the widest river is a whopping 5 kilometers wide..
The Cartel Academy was established on an island in the middle of the river..
The island was so large that it would have been a waste to use it only as an academy site, but it is said that it was not this size from the beginning..
The current size has been secured through continuous expansion construction..
Of course, the downstream flow of the river cannot be blocked, so it has become vertically elongated..
Anyway, after crossing the bridge that was the only entrance to the island, we finally stood at the entrance to the academy..
“Wow…….”
“crazy.”
The moment I saw Cartel Academy, gasps erupted from all directions again..
I'm also at a loss as to what kind of building to call this..
It looks like a castle, a tower, or a temple..
Usually, when there are many different feelings in one building, it tends to be chaotic, but I don't really feel that way right now..
As someone who has no knowledge of architecture, I could only say, ‘It’s amazing.’.
“Our precious guests have finally arrived..”
At that time, an old man appeared with a soft voice..
Beautiful wrinkles, belly-length beard, thin glasses, and a kind smile.…….
If I were to have him wear a wide-brimmed hat and a staff made of old wood, he would look exactly like the wizard based on my prejudices..
‘…Somehow I'm a bit touched.’
The tip of my nose feels slightly sore..
Since the wizards I met after the regression were so bad and evil, I feel relieved to see this classic appearance..
Hector and Barter bowed their heads politely..
“Hello, Dean. This is Hector Badniker..”
“This is Barter Good Spring..”
“haha. The two of us get to see the future of the empire together. It's an honor.”
Dean of Cartel Academy.
That means that the old man with a good smile is the 7th ranked purple archmage - Alderson Marvre..
Alderson said, looking at Hector..
“Assad, how are you??”
“You are correcting.”
“That's a good thing.”
Asad, the hermit and guardian of Badniker, is also a wizard of seven colors..
He is the green archmage who ranks 4th in rank..
Of course, there is some interaction with Alderson, the same wizard of seven colors..
“But there are more people than I thought. I'm a bit embarrassed because I didn't expect the number of people in Good Spring.…….”
As Alderson said, the number of people at the proof ceremony was more than twenty at a glance..
Including our 10 people, there are a total of about 30 people..
A total of 30 members is too large a number to be incorporated..
Alderson burst out laughing, stroked his beard, and spoke in a somewhat meaningful voice..
“Well, it will work out somehow. Just follow me.”
We rumbled after Alderson… I passed between well-paved roads and street lights and arrived at a tower-shaped building..
“This place……?”
“Kartel Academy’s specialty [Tower of Training] Ilse.”
raise to a great height.
‘Roughly… I think it's about 200 meters?’
At this scale, it would be worthy of being called a magic tower..
Alderson said with a grin..
“As I said, it looks like we need to reduce the number of people. It's like a transfer test... … . Only the fifteen who have risen to the highest level will be accepted into the academy..”
“hmm… What happens to the people who don't make it to the list??”
“I'm sorry, but I can't allow you to transfer. Please take me back.”
Immediately there was a groan from Goodspring..
“Well, it can't be.”
“Isn't that true??”
“How did we get here?…….”
On the other hand, our guys' attitude was calm, and that's because it's a somewhat familiar trend..
If you're going to quit in order of grades, that's something I've experienced several times at Badniker's retreat..
I saw the tower again.
Although it is extremely high, it doesn't seem that difficult to climb..
‘But something…….’
Even with the name ‘Pagoda of Training’, there is something strange about it..
I asked Hector if he felt the same discomfort..
“Is the standard not about climbing fast, but climbing high??”
“That's right.”
Alderson looked around and said.
“The height of this tower is approximately 217.1 meters and has 5 floors. There are stairs inside, so climbing them shouldn't be difficult..”
about 200 meters.
It's a high height, but it's a height that the guys here can climb without difficulty..
in other words.
“…Is there something inside??”
Alderson smiled kindly and said.
“Wouldn’t it be fun if I explained everything? There's no need to rush. Once you enter the tower, you will know everything..”
“hmm…….”
“The period is today. Oh, and any loot you get inside this tower is yours..”
“What do you mean by loot?……?”
“From simple gold coins to precious metals, books, and magic tools I made myself... … . Various rewards are available.”
“……!”
At those words, the leaders murmured again..
Alderson let out a good-natured laugh..
“Please think of it as a ride and have fun. Hehehe.”
At those words, the leaders rushed to the tower, and I was slightly impressed..
As expected, not all wizards are spoiled seeds..
Blaming myself for being prejudiced against wizards, I also followed in the footsteps of the leaders..
* * *
Immediately after the leaders left…….
A young man approached Alderson..
It was Morland, one of the professors at Cartel Academy..
“You're joking too much, Dean..”
“hmm?”
“Half of them won't even make it to the first floor..”
At those words, Alderson let out a characteristic guttural laugh..
“I don't know how it will turn out. Professor Morland, we must not underestimate the potential of young people..”
“I've never looked down on you…….”
Morland sighed..
At first glance, it appears that Alderson is placing high hopes on those young leaders, but that is not the case..
Every student at Cartel Academy knows this..
[What kind of place is that place called the ‘Pagoda of Training’?.
5In each section of the tower, which is composed of floors, there are various problems, puzzles, and traps prepared with great care by Alderson..
Of course, it is not so threatening that you will get seriously injured or lose your life.…….
Is this feeling enough to cause frustration and trauma for young people with dreams of fortune?.
“There's nothing wrong with each other in the first place, right? I am motivated by seeing the challenges of energetic young people, and they also have the opportunity to receive a reward commensurate with their great challenge... … . I always value equity.”
“…….”
It's not wrong..
Hidden in the tower are items that can be considered treasures..
It houses not only the magic tools that Alderson, the wizard of seven colors, made himself, but also various collectibles that he acquired after paying a high price..
Even Oland’s favorite ‘thing’.
but…….
‘If you like fairness so much, why did you put all the rewards on the 4th and 5th floor?…….’
Morland knows.
No matter how talented a person is in Yeongdo, it is impossible to rise higher than the third floor..
Of course.
4Most of the professors at the academy gave up halfway through the class..
Alderson said excitedly..
“now! There is no time for this. Quickly go to the control room. I want to drink Professor Betty's tea. There are some cookies left from the Etique refreshment shop, so it would be best to eat them together while looking around..”
Morland sighed again and followed suit..
‘It's pitiful, but I can't help it.…….’
Hoping that the number of frustrated leaders will be small, Morland followed Alderson's footsteps..
* * *
A sign greeted us as we entered the interior of the tower..
[Welcome to the rainbow floor!]
[※first rule※]
[Talking is prohibited on this floor..]
[If violated, penalty.]
…This is a trend that feels like déjà vu..
