Battle with Shephir.
Facing him, Roman Dmitry witnessed the flow of mana.
'It's different from normal Zer Circle wizards. His magic, starting in the middle battle, is generating explosive power in the upper stage.'
It was strange.
People clearly said that they formed a circle in the heart before stopping, and the mana that erupted there was immediately expressed as a magic.
However, Shefir's method was not common.
When the mana that occurred in the middle battle reached the upper stage, the mana harmonized with nature and caused a tremendous explosion.
let go of prejudice
I didn't reject it because it was different from the previous one, but I thought about why Shefir did it.
'Shefir is an 8th circle wizard. People knew that the realm of the 8th circle existed, but Shefir is the only one who has proven that he has actually reached the 8th circle. Perhaps the existing wizards did not have the conditions to reach the 8th circle. The degree of completion of the circle has already been completed to form the 8th ring, but it must not have progressed beyond the 8th circle because I did not know how to use the upper-level battle.'
It was a hypothesis.
It wasn't a clear fact, but if you think that the top match is a clue to the 8th circle, the situation is plausible.
if so.
The top battle was a clue to the magic revolution.
Those who have trained for the upper level battle will open the way to the 8th circle, and at the same time, the wizards below that level have a high probability of becoming stronger than before through the upper level battle training.
For Roman Dmitry, it was a hypothesis worth trying.
The people of the Salamander Continent did not even know the concept of danjeon, but Jungwon Moorim subdivided and classified dandan and how to train for each danjeon was completed after numerous trials and errors.
The God of Yang (兩儀神功).
It was a way to train the upper half.
At one time, when Baek Jung-hyuk was studying martial arts, he created a new yangui shingong based on the shaman's yangui shingong.
training of the mind.
In the case of training Yangyangshingong, brain development goes beyond the limits of humans, but in the case of those who train the lower end, the flow of mana is scattered through the top of the head due to the opening of the upper end.
It was truly a gyereuk (鷄肋).
It was not a very good training method for the warriors, but if the development of the upper stage was a clue beyond the 8th circle wall, there was no better means for the wizards than the yangyangshingong.
so that.
Returning to Dmitry, he called for Felix.
He spoke of the conclusion he had been thinking about, and told him about the gods of Yang, and a few days later, Felix visited Roman Dmitry with a surprised face.
" Lord. What the hell is this technology?"
It was certain.
It was a revolution that would develop magic.
* * *
last month.
The wizards of Phoenix succeeded in grafting magic into the upper battle.
It can't be said that it's perfect yet, but the upper-level battles that were trained with Yang's Shingong showed clear effects.
Knox.
He was a living example.
The magic that exploded through the middle and upper level battles showed stronger destructive power than before, and the speed of processing magic became ridiculously fast due to the development of the brain.
That's why Edwin Hector felt that he had 'omitted the casting'.
He uses magic 2 to 3 times faster than common sense, so there was no way to stop Nox's magic even in the same state.
his defeat.
It was a natural result.
Edwin Hector could not have predicted that the magic revolution had already begun.
"I will ask you again. Why do I have to go through the trouble of telling Hector the secrets of the top battle?"
obvious refusal.
Edwin Hector felt helpless.
As Roman Dmitry said.
There was no reason for Dmitry to share the secret of the top battle.
Although the concept of danjeon was revealed through a swordsmanship presentation, Dmitry is not an idiot who unconditionally surrenders his own.
The swordsmanship presentation had a clear purpose.
At the time Dmitry defeated the Kronos Empire, he redefined the concept of the aura and usurped Alexander's reputation.
It had a huge ripple effect.
Even if other countries find out about danzian isn't going to lead to dramatic changes, Roman Dmitry formed the basis for his leap into the empire with a single announcement.
However.
The top game is different.
No matter how allies were, the benefits they gained from sharing the top battle were not so great.
Think about it.
Rather, if the 'secret of the top battle' was used as a bait to merge other horse towers, wizards who longed for brain development would inevitably flock to Dmitry.
But share it with Hector, and furthermore, the Tower of the Sky? The achievement of creating a magic revolution, unlike the swordsman revolution, was no longer needed.
It was bittersweet.
There was no reason to persuade.
'The Phoenix Horse Tower is already establishing a system by using the secrets of the top battle. If they go out as starters, we may have a chance at any moment. But then. If the Kronos Empire goes to war before that, the kingdom of Hector has no choice but to remain as a bystander as history repeats itself.'
It's not about being bystanders because you want to stand by.
Because they have no power, they just watch and lose their minds, so Hector's people will suffer meaningless sacrifices.
clenched his fist
himself.
a reasonable person
He wasn't the kind of person who appealed to emotions, but this time, he wanted to hold onto the one and only Dong-a line, even if he was a bit clumsy.
That was then.
"There is no reason for Dmitry to share the secret of the top battle. But only one. If the kingdom of Hector swears a master-slave relationship. Dmitry will take responsibility for Hector's future as a relationship that guarantees Hector's freedom.
at that word.
Edwin Hector raised his head in surprise.
* * *
Edwin Hector.
It was an attractive one.
He was the first enemy of a foreign country to be defeated by Roman Dmitry, but he recognized his value from the beginning.
surprise attack.
bold judgment.
And even the individual's ability to use magic.
Edwin Hector might have grown into a greater person than he is now if he hadn't come from a small country.
It was the same with the fight with Knox.
Edwin Hector felt helpless at the fact that he had lost, but his brief display of improvisation, despite Knox's overwhelming dominance, proved what Edwin Hector was.
Battlefield.
Edwin Hector was the leading commander.
He risked his life with the soldiers and lived a life that was not easy enough that the habit of a war mage had been ingrained in his body.
I like it.
So, I accepted an alliance with him.
'Magic and swordsmanship are different domains. As far as swordsmanship is concerned, I can handle everything, but it is just arrogance that I control even the unknown realm. If there's anything I lack. Receiving people to complement it will lead Dmitry in the right direction in the future.'
Cheonma Baek Jung-hyuk.
His strength wasn't just power.
the missing part.
filled with people
Count Fabius, who had been stuck here and there like a traitor, became Roman Dmitry's man, just as he embraced the monster to complement his uncompromising political power.
So did Edwin Hector.
Although Felix of the Phoenix Tower complements the magical part, it was impossible to cover the huge realm of magic with Phoenix alone.
finally.
I needed someone.
A reliable being who can help Felix and actively save the magical revolution that comes from the God of Yang.
Edwin Hector.
he was visible
The brilliant gemstone looked at Roman Dmitry and looked agitated.
"Choose. If you say you will follow Dmitry, I promise you a new future."
* * *
master-slave relationship.
It was an unexpected development.
No, it was something I never thought of.
different from allies.
The concept of union implies an equal relationship with Dmitry, but from the moment Roman Dmitry's proposal is accepted, the way of conversation will be different.
Roman Dmitry is a vassal, and himself is a hondae.
Roman Dmitry was demanding a relationship supported by Dmitry, who was still only a principality, and Hector.
It was disconcerting at first.
Strangely, however, the mention of the master-slave relationship did not sound offensive.
' What have I been living for all this time?'
heir to the royal family.
People looked up to Edwin Hector's life.
The appearance of a prince who served as servants in the royal family, guaranteed wealth and honor, was the life they thought of as a royal family.
But the reality of Edwin Hector was not so.
From an early age until he was known as the 'Star of Hector', Edwin Hector had to deal with many public appearances.
even for a moment.
There was no comfortable day.
Even when the Kronos Empire did not intentionally induce poor crops, the Hector Kingdom could not be said to be such a livable country.
Therefore, he suffered from work on behalf of his incompetent father.
He handled the piles of paperwork, learned magic in his spare time, and met the fame of being called Hector's Star.
why.
would you live like that
And even now, Edwin Hector seeks Roman Dmitry to take revenge on Kronos.
'Born as Prince of Hector, I was not allowed to dream. There was a time when I thought that such a life was unfair, but now the comfort and peace of the kingdom of Hector have become the meaning of my existence. That's enough. I don't want a life like that of me ascending the throne and enjoying wealth and glory, but I want Hector to find peace at the end of this damn reality by overthrowing the Kronos Empire.'
Oh yeah.
It was a sad life.
Edwin Hector has become such an existence that he cannot live for himself.
if so.
Is there any reason not to swear allegiance to Roman Dmitry?
Hector did not wish for great power.
Like Kronos and Valhalla, what they wanted was different from those who opened their eyes to devour the continent.
I just wish for Hector's peace.
I just wanted to give Hector's people a life where they wake up in the morning worry-free and don't grab their hungry stomach at every meal.
In the first place, there was no dispute over interests with those in power.
If they didn't covet Hector's bowl, what they were pursuing was completely different.
distant future.
drew a picture.
If Roman Dmitry conquers the continent, will Hector be happy next to him?
'You will be happy. Dmitry, at least as far as I know, does not sacrifice the happiness of those who follow him.'
Rumors were heard across the border.
When Henderson died and said that he would introduce a system such as a national merit system, people had vague envy of Dmitry.
Wouldn't it be nice to be protected by such a country?
How does it feel to have enough power and wealth to give like that?
Watching Dmitry's steps, Edwin Hector may have longed for a life with Roman Dmitry from a certain moment without knowing it.
so.
Roman Dmitry's relationship between master and servant didn't sound bad.
At the touch of recognizing his own worth and reaching out, Edwin Hector dreamed of a future with Dmitry.
And then.
convinced
Even if he couldn't surpass Roman Dmitry, Hector's people would be happy.
"I will follow."
At first, the voice was small.
Edwin Hector said again, looking at Roman Dmitry.
"If you promise Hector's future, I will give my life for Roman Dmitry."
that day.
Dmitry the kingdom of Hector.
No, I got a guy named Edwin Hector.
* * *
It was a busy day.
In the morning, he met Hoffman and his relationship with Golden Bank broke down, but at lunch he got Hector Kingdom and Edwin Hector.
oath of allegiance.
Edwin Hector fell to his knees.
Some people are constantly suspicious even after seeing such a figure, but Roman Dmitry provided funds for the rescue of the 'God of the Yang' and Hector's stability.
For Edwin Hector, blind faith felt embarrassed.
I wanted to ask him if he thought about the possibility that he would betray him, but he was told that everyone who followed Roman Dmitry was so engrossed.
It was Dmitry's way.
Trust begets trust, so Roman Dmitry solidified the relationship by first demonstrating trust.
Betrayal was not a concern.
As the spies followed Dmitry.
He didn't trust people, he trusted his own abilities.
It is not arrogance.
Arrogance accompanied by evidence was rightly expressed as confidence.
The sun went down.
As it was getting dark outside, Dmitry welcomed a third guest without notice.
The guest requested a solo session with Roman Dmitry.
When the meeting finally took place, he spoke with a face burning with impatience.
"No, I tried to be as patient as possible because I was afraid of looking like a strange person. When are you going to make a new sword?"
Valentino Marquis.
The collector's patience has reached its limit.
