Abandoned Priest at the Hero’s Party

Rayman and Geher

“Very fine. I feel like my body is 20 years younger. Even if Jim’s life doesn’t change, I hope we can live more comfortably until that day comes.”

The emperor, who had eaten the firefly crystal fruit in front of the people he had summoned, leaned back on the throne with a more relaxed face. The faces of the people who had left with surprise faces were all in awe and jealousy.

It is said that the emperor’s desire for the small fruit that he swallowed naturally overcame the fear of being ahead. Knowing that those who saw the greed would go to the priest, the emperor ordered the Spear Cheon Knights to guard Kyle carefully.

“Mr Madeleine. What do you think?”

The emperor did not dare to exalt himself in front of this man.

Because he deserved it.

“It is definitely the power of the Old Gods. I can be sure.”

“Did the darkness within you disappear?”

“No matter how hard I tried to drive it away, the dark river of Grimudo, which had been stagnant, melted like ice in the sun when it touched the light.”

A man called Mr. Madeleine looked at the beacon of the sanctuary and was engrossed in thought.

“The demon king, the power of Grimudo is not something that even the three gods can overcome. Except for the laws of the universe, nothing can overpower the power of the Demon King so unilaterally.”

“Madeleine… no, I’ll call you Sir Rayman now. kyung. Until now, I didn’t ask for the sake of honor, but I want you to answer me now.”

I haven’t asked for a while, but now I need to know.

When the emperor asked, an old man called Rayman was disgusted. It was not a difficult thing to answer, but it seemed difficult just to recall the incident at that time.

“How strong is Grimudo’s power, so a person like Sir couldn’t overcome even a fragment of that power and suffered so much?”

“His dark strength is the power to assimilate by swallowing all the magical powers of the world.”

An old man called Sir Rayman did not answer. Behind him, another old man slowly walked with his back.

The nobles would have been quite surprised to see this man. A treasure keeper who protects the Imperial Vigo. Why is this old man whose name is not even known?

Was this person high enough to face the emperor face to face?

“During the battle, his strong energy traveled through our magic circuit and spread throughout the body, then occupied all parts of the circuit and hardened to control the flow of magic. It sticks to the magic circuit like a leech and contaminates it.”

“I tried to push away with divine power, borrow magical energy, and swallow an elixir. Still, it was terribly clingy. Hundreds were invalid. It was only a fragment of his power, but there was no way for us to undo the contamination.”

“So neither me nor this friend could draw magic power from the world, and I couldn’t recover it naturally, so I haven’t been able to use my strength until now. Fortunately, it was us, so we ended up at this point. If even the Master was of a low level, the Dark River would have eroded and swallowed the magical powers of his body.”

It is true. This man’s name is Hermit Geher.

He is a contender from the previous era who faced the ancient demon lord together with the quiet Rayman. But the challenge was entirely possible because they didn’t know about Grimudo.

Master Rayman still trembled at their foolishness just thinking about that day.

“No other Master on the Continent could be our opponent, so we called ourselves Grand Masters. Not knowing that the name he gave was Heo Myung and the name that others called was not Heo Myung, he was enveloped in arrogance and challenged the Demon King of the Arctic.”

“Me and this friend were not even his opponents. After competing once, I knew only then. Why doesn’t he want to occupy the continent and rule as emperor?”

Would you believe it if his magical energy, which naturally flowed into his body during the battle, remained in the body of the two even decades later and was toxic?

At least the two of them were so desperate that they stopped at this level. If the weak had suffered the same thing, they would have already been devoured by the magic of their entire body and would have died horribly.

The gap with others is this large, and the power of the world cannot be seen.

If you already have authority and power, would you feel better if you had more titles like emperor?

“In my opinion,”

Sir Rayman sighed.

“To deal with Grimudo, he must return from five hundred years ago.”

Of course, he is not referring to the first emperor.

That person inherited the dragon’s bloodline, and as an individual, he rose to the status of a master. However, no matter how legendary the feat of the first emperor, it is all meaningless in front of the ancient demon king.

Even the emperor can’t do anything on his own without helpers by his side. If the current emperor had Raiman and Geher, then Taejo had similar people.

Masterless prosecutor. Master Heron. It was this man who put an end to the chaos of 500 years ago and established a new order represented by the Empire. Then it disappeared as suddenly as it appeared.

“It was only when we faced the sword he left us that we were able to dispel our name.”

The hermit Geher also admitted it. They thought of themselves as Grand Masters, but in reality they had to admit that they were just more powerful Masters.

What is a Grand Master? Even the Master is already called the pinnacle of human beings.

The concept of a grand master has not yet been properly established. So, if you think you are stronger than the other Masters, you are calling yourself a Grand Master.

But now I know. There is only one person who can truly be called a Grand Master.

That he was the only person from five hundred years ago.

That person did not visit the ancient demon king, and the demon king did not visit him either. So no one knows which one is superior.

But at least that person would not have been as ruthless as they were against Grimudo. Rayman and Geher could bet their entire fortune on that one point.

“Anyway, it’s really good that you two are well. Just in case, I ask you, aren’t you heading back to the North Pole to make a deal with Grimudo?”

The two old men laughed at the emperor’s joke.

A fight with Grimudo? How dare you? They had neither the qualifications nor the ability to do so.

If I have to visit the North Pole again, there will be no more revenge than two more corpses.

“If you’re going to stay by my side anyway, could you help me one more time?”

The emperor has now brought out the main point. The two masters agreed that it would be difficult.

It is this emperor who has been hiding the two who escaped to the Empire after a devastating defeat by Grimudo and helped them recover.

Although this grace was not large enough to repay them with their lives, it was evident that at least it deeply touched them.

“It is not difficult. tell me.”

“I want to test my son.”

The emperor spoke slowly. The two weren’t too surprised.

Do you see this once or twice while hiding in the Imperial Palace and recuperating? It’s like an annual event.

“Edmund, it’s not a big deal if the kid actually revolts. If you’re capable enough to usurp Jim’s place, you’ll recognize that ability and be willing to let him take off what’s above his head. But my son has joined hands with the temple. The temples are those who only care about the will of the god they worship, no matter what happens to the mountains and rivers of our empire.”

“If the Goddess wishes, would they see something like the interests of the Empire? There have been many quarrels for the throne, and Jim was not from the crown prince. However, although many people have taken the throne, none of them have ascended to the throne by selling the empire’s strong mountains to others. Jim really doesn’t want to break that precedent.”

Had the emperor been truly heartless, he would have set an example for Edmund without a second thought.

If he had been a little more compassionate than that, he would have taken control of the prince’s power by forcing him to withdraw from the struggle for the throne and giving him only a suitable position. Instead of giving him one more chance, after all, he was also a human being.

The emperor was not a bad monarch in many ways, but he wasn’t as good as the one related to his children. In fact, the reason things got so twisted was because he was a ruthless person to his children. It could be said that this was the biggest flaw he had as a king.

“I came up here to see blood, so I don’t want to see blood until now. I don’t know. It all depends on the kid.”

It’s not a big deal to rebel and become emperor. If you can prove that you have that much ability, you might be able to carry this heavy burden right away. Because the current empire definitely needed such a power.

However, the three princes not only joined hands with the Shinjin faction, but also began to sell the empire’s profits to the temple. The fact that he assassinated the prince by holding hands with the temple was an act that crossed the line. Therefore, the emperor did not adopt the third prince as his son, even though his medical condition worsened.

However, when it comes to passing the throne to someone else, there were no children that stood out to him, even though they were the children he gave birth to.

Even though it ended in trouble, I even thought of adopting an adopted son to succeed the throne. Now that Ardein has returned, the emperor’s options have increased by one.

“Now and I really don’t want to see any more blood. It’s enough when you’re young to see your family’s blood. It’s not something you should do at this age.”

But who is the emperor who sells the empire’s profits to other powers?

It’s not something you can look after just because you’re a son. So the emperor sincerely wanted Edmund to pass his test.

He wished his sons and daughters could at least forgive each other if they couldn’t, but he didn’t know if that would happen.

In fact, I knew in a corner of my heart that it wasn’t going to happen.

“That’s why I don’t know if I’m doing this even though I know the answer. Maybe I just want to comfort myself that much.”

“What is the plan?”

“Once it doesn’t show up, how do we get rid of it first?”

Without any rejuvenation after eating the firefly crystal fruit, his face looked like he had aged ten years again.

“If you push the child a little bit, all the answers will come out. I just hope Edmund doesn’t make the worst choice. Then Jim will have to.”

Family quarrels are difficult to observe.

The two old men deliberately looked to the other side and murmured as if they had not heard it. But inside, he was reflecting on the emperor’s plan in his head.

“Now then, let’s just get up. You two must be busy, so I won’t take too much time. Oh, Sir Rayman. Could you go and tell the imperial consul of Jim some words? I want to invite my daughter and the priest to Jim’s dinner.”

There was no need to ask which daughter he was talking about. Rayman nodded.

“Oh, and give the order to bring the child named Loka with you. Two or three, it makes no difference.”

If the child is truly the hero chosen by the God of Hope, then there is something the Emperor must convey to the child.

asked Geher the hermit. It was a very surprising expression.

“Are you going to give me a chance to grab that sword?”

“It’s not something you can pick up and take with you. It’s not from that black baggage in the first place.”

The swordsman without a teacher left his sword on the floor before leaving. Until now, many members of the royal family tried to hold the sword, but the sword did not respond at all. Because this sword was not left for the descendants of the Illumina.

Despite being in the imperial family, it is a sword reserved for people other than the imperial family.

Even Rayman and Geher were not chosen as masters of this sword. They just grabbed the sword and gained some enlightenment, but through that realization they were able to go further than before.

“Everything is up to the sword to decide. Jim only gives you a chance.”

Even the emperor once tried to unravel the secret of the sword when he was a young man full of blood. Because I thought there was a secret to gaining the strength of a swordsman without a teacher.

Now I understand. The sword is not his, it has been from the beginning, and he is just a keeper.

A swordsman without a teacher, like Rayman and Geher now, was not a servant of the first emperor, but more of a business partner. There is no record of how this person thought of the first emperor, but it was clear that he did not like the opportunity he had left to become the exclusive property of the royal family.

From that point alone, it was impossible not to deny that the imperial power of the empire was faced with great limitations from birth. Master-level powerful individuals, who can exert more power than a group, are in a somewhat horizontal relationship, where even the emperor asks for them, but cannot issue orders.

But what about Hwang Kwon? It’s the same everywhere in the world.

It is by no means unfavorable to the empire, and the emperor always felt sorry for his ancestors whenever he visited the empire’s rivers and mountains. Things haven’t been good since he took over the Empire, but being a monarch is not an excuse, it’s a position where you have to give an answer as a result.

Otherwise, this crown should not have been worn on the head in the first place. Who can the emperor of a country hold responsible for state affairs? In the end, he had only himself.

“I have made many mistakes throughout my life.”

The old man sighed as he looked at his reflection in the window.

“These mistakes have been twisted into knots that cannot be untied until one of them dies. Jim is a fool who tries to untie a knot by hand, even though he knows that a knot can be untied by striking it with a knife.”

So, the responsibility should not be passed on to the next generation. No matter what the end result, shouldn’t he have to make up for it while he’s still alive?

Even if the ending was to break his heart, he couldn’t help it. Because that would be his duty as an emperor.
