Chapter 324: Compensation (1)

Two elderly people visit a remote island in the sky.

Seeing them, Legritte immediately stepped forward and gave a brief bow.

“Are you here? Elder Len Balhag, Elder Sheorn.”

Two of the three elders of the ark.

Among them, Locke’s teacher, Len Balhag, said firmly with his hands behind his back.

“Yes, it came. you made us come Legritte, I thought your eccentricity was familiar… … . I never thought it was not enough to interrupt the Ark meeting midway and run away with the candidate.”

“It’s not an escape, it’s an exchange battle.”

“Hmm, it’s an exchange match… … .”

Ren Valhag looked around.

The blue sky that should have surrounded it everywhere is nowhere to be found.

A sky island eaten by the shadows.

The dark clouds that look like heavy rain will come any moment are slowly moving along with the wind. Parts of the island split apart as if an earthquake had struck.

It was full of scorched traces as if a lightning storm had fallen.

“It’s a pretty intense sign to say that. Fortunately, the island itself was not destroyed.”

“of course. We had no intention of killing each other.”

Verden and Legrit.

Both of them revealed their skills by opening magic, but they did not cause more destruction than necessary.

The situation would have been very different if he had sincerely wanted to destroy his opponent, if he had used all his power by rampaging indiscriminately.

No matter how hard the ground was, it would not have been able to withstand the strength of the two and the sky island would have collapsed in half.

If that happened, it would be an exchange war and a catastrophe.

Even if there were no people down there, the aftermath would be devastating.

They would have had to struggle desperately to keep the fragments of the collapsed island from falling to the ground.

“So what was the result?”

“I lost.”

Captain’s defeat.

Ren Balhag’s eyebrows twitched.

“You, the Warlord of the Empire?”

“Of course, I didn’t see the match properly. However, if the flow had continued, we would have lost in the end.”

“You clearly admit it.”

“Facts are facts.”

Legritte was confident.

Part of the golden armor was slightly damaged. But she had no regrets whatsoever, let alone her sense of defeat.

“Isn’t it sad though? If I had written ‘them’, it would have been different.”

“Isn’t this place an exchange match? Even if it’s me, I know how to control that much.”

It is true that he showed his skills as a Warlord.

He opened up magic, mastered arts, and even used one of his secret methods.

But that wasn’t all.

Because I didn’t use the season that reached the height of skill, nor the ancient artifact that was the last resort.

but.

“Even if I showed all my strength, I wonder if the win or loss would have changed… … I can’t be sure. It seems that Asher is hiding as much power as I did, or even more than that.”

It was an instinctive intuition.

Beyond the transparent and deep wall, I felt an unknown abyss.

“What do you mean by that much… … .”

Legritte and Len Balhaag.

The two looked sideways.

At the end of it was an ashen-haired mage and another elder, facing each other in conversation.

Verden lowered his head slightly.

“I didn’t know you were an elder.”

“Haha, it will. Because I didn’t bother to reveal it.

Librarian, Sheorn Kernoden.

The library keeper pulled his chin.

“I saw the exchange exhibition well. Not only did he incapacitate a large number of candidates for the ark with , which was different from the existing one, but he also engaged in an exchange battle with the explorer, Legrit. It marked a milestone in the history of the ark. You, too, tend to boil your blood just as much as Legritte.”

“Excuse me.”

“You don’t have to say that. It was very surprising, embarrassing, and impressive. Seeing that neither of them was seriously injured, it seems that the rules of the exchange match were properly followed.”

The exchange war is over.

“So let’s go back to Ark.”

Elder Shaorn raised a short staff.

Leisurely, concentrating his mana, he descended vertically.

Whoaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah

Mana flows and forms properties.

A purple light flashed, and soon the gap opened up.

‘This feeling… … .’

A powerful attack that stimulates the soul.

An overwhelming presence that makes mana sway without even realizing it.

no way.

“… … Were you a transcendent?”

Elder Sheorn.

The Transcendentalist of the Ark who pioneered the magic of space.

He smiled at Verden and said.

“library. Shouldn’t that be enough to protect the treasure trove of knowledge Ark possesses?”

It was expected that there would be a Transcendentalist as the scale was large. But I never thought the Librarian was a Transcendentalist.

‘Who the hell is the owner of the ark… … .’

It wasn’t even equal, so I put the transcendental person below.

I dared to predict it, but I couldn’t even imagine what it really was. His strength, his inner thoughts, whatever.

“Then let’s go.”

An entrance to a space connected by an arc.

Led by Elder Sheorn, the two elders, one captain, and Verden disappeared inside.

* * *

Ark’s citadel, Exordium.

The far-off summit where the current owner of the ark resides.

“Are there any problems?”

“There was none at all. When I arrived, the exchange was just over. Asher and Legritte both suffered minor injuries, but not far from serious. Even without the use of potions, natural healing was enough to quickly recover.”

“Right.”

At Elder Ren Balhag’s report, the owner of the ark nodded.

“The candidate said he won the exchange battle with the captain… … . Even if Legritte didn’t show his strength, it’s a power that surpasses expectations. Is he also someone who has overcome the ancient ordeal?”

“In that sense, there are things that we should seriously report and give.”

The elder, who was once part of the captain, said with a serious face.

“It is said that Asher used , the method of mana management of the King of Darkness.”

“… … !”

The owner of the ark responded.

The surprising news didn’t stop there.

“Not only that, but they said that it reproduced the magic derived from Legritte’s sorcery. Not exactly the same magic, but in your own way. Perhaps it is the same principle as using . Also, the robe he is wearing is presumed to be that of the King of Sorcery, no, it has been confirmed.”

“Is it clear?”

“There are only a handful of robes made from dragon material… … I am of the same opinion as Legritte.”

“Even though they are not of the king of sorcery, they are beings that handle the things of the king of sorcery.”

thoughts deepen

The silent master whispered to himself.

‘It wasn’t just something he picked up without an owner… Do you mean heir to something other than blood?’

I hope that’s the case…

‘No, I can’t decide yet.’

Unless you ask Asher directly, you won’t know.

However, he did not have the slightest intention of digging up something from the ancient ordeal. Because that was against the ideology of the ark.

That duty also extends to the owner of the ark.

Unnecessary interference with candidates only harms them.

The ark’s job is to help him walk on his own path.

It is the same now.

A reward for those who overcome the ordeal.

Rewards are also given to those who show significant results in exchange matches.

The role of the ark is not to help directly, but to help growth.

“It’s been decided what to give Asher.”

His gaze turned to Len Balhag.

“Elder Len Balhag.”

“Did you call?”

“Open the archives of the library.”

and.

“Call Elder Sheorn.”

* * *

After the exchange battle with Legrit, Verden entered the room provided for him.

It was a private space given to candidates who visited Ark, but it was the first time I saw it in person because I stayed up all night in the library.

‘It’s suitable for organizing my thoughts.’

quiet and spacious

It was suitable for contemplation and research on the magic control and elemental fusion obtained from Legritte.

But there was no time for that.

“Do you know how to drink?”

“I will take it if you give it to me.”

“What do you prefer?”

“I don’t choose anything, but I tend to enjoy neat things.”

“You know how to drink.”

table in the center.

Two plain wooden chairs.

Elder Len Balhaag, who was seated across from us, filled the glass himself.

Verden, who was handed over politely, simply made ice and placed it in a glass. Of course, not a single drop of alcohol was splashed.

The two people who swallowed him at once faced each other.

Suddenly, Len Balhag looked at Verden’s hand.

“The [Carmelios’ Leather Gloves] that the duchy gave you as a gift are missing. Is it broken?”

“It happened unintentionally.”

I couldn’t help it.

During a desperate battle with Leonil the Flame in the kingdom of Estyria, he could not withstand the heat of flame magic and melted away.

“Good job. Equipment has meaning only when it is properly used. You shouldn’t regret or be afraid of being broken. By the way, compared to when you defeated Gluttony’s Tooth, you’ve changed a lot. Even though it hasn’t been that long… … .”

It meant that he lived a passionate life.

The greater the result in hand, the more difficult the process to acquire it must have been.

“Thanks to that, the exchange battle ended early.”

It was literally.

The exchange war ended just like that.

Most of the participants have lost their minds, so how can they continue? The six candidates who had endured also refused to participate in the exchange war.

Above all, until Legritte, who was in charge of the guide, escaped.

Although her fault was the most responsible for this situation, Verden’s share was also significant.

Aside from anything else, he didn’t resist even though he could have rejected Legrit’s artificially caused spatial movement.

Today will go down in the history of the ark as the day of the exchange war that ended the earliest.

“And you will be handed down as the candidate who defeated the most candidates and the mage who won the exchange battle with the captain. I don’t know if that record will be broken later.”

“… … .”

Verden had nothing to say.

Even so, I didn’t even reflect, let alone regret it.

I’ve gained so much from my magical warfare with the Warlords of the Empire. Even if I went back, it would be more, not less.

“Anyway, let’s stop the small talk here. The reason I’m tipping my glass right here is because I have something to give you. Have you heard about the trials and exchange battles and the rewards given there?”

“I did hear about it beforehand.”

“So I came to deliver it myself. First of all, about the exchange war.”

What Len Balhag saw was a white book with magical patterns on the front cover.

‘no way… … .’

I’ve never seen it myself, but I’ve come across it through knowledge.

I have seen pictures of the same type in books listing man-made artifacts.

“Is it [Spell Book of Divinity] by any chance?”

“You can see it at a glance.”

A magic book is a magical item that has the ability to consume magic stones to register specific magic and enhance the user’s magical capabilities.

Verden also owns one of them.

The unopened magic book stolen from the treasure chest of the Bohemirn Magic Tower was made into a magic book of the earth, and then it was stored in subspace after connecting the magic circle.

As I’ve felt so far, the strengthening effect of the spell book is powerful.

As much as any magician would covet.

The only downside is that a wizard can only use one spellbook.

‘But this is different.’

First of all, there is no need to register magic in the Magic Book of Dawon.

Like the Orb, which was one of Orient’s materials, it strengthens all magic related to the elemental properties themselves.

Even unlike existing magic books, it is not limited to any one element.

To sum it up… … Can it be said that it is a collection of magic books that encompasses all the elements?

The only thing that can create magic books is Artesyn’s Magic Tower.

Among them, there are only a few artificial artifacts like the multi-wonder mage in this world.

But you can’t use it like this.

“As you know, the Magic Book of Dawon is meaningless by itself. This is an artifact that absorbs and uses other elemental spellbooks. And the only thing that satisfies him is the magic book that was opened by the wizard registered in the magic book of Dawon.”

Magic books that have been touched by someone else’s magical power are not allowed.

Only the magic book opened by himself is possible.

It’s simple, but it’s a very demanding condition.

“Do you have such a magic book?”

“I just have one.”

“That’s good. You can try it right now.”

There is no reason to refuse.

Verden drew a dagger from his waist.

‘The magic book of Dawon is registered as blood and magic.’

Activated the magic circuit.

At the same time, he cut his palm a little deeply and squeezed it out with all his might, and drops of magical blood fell onto the cover of the magic book.

Tuk, dududuk.

The magic book of Dawon flickers red.

It greedily sucked blood and mana and regained its original white color.

“… … !”

A sense of clear connection.

It felt similar to the engraving of an artifact.

“Congratulations, you have become one of the few masters who owns the Magic Book of Dawon. Now it’s your next turn.”

Verden nodded and opened the magic book of Dawon.

There were no bookshelves in it.

There was only a small space exactly the size of the magic book.

I took out the magic book of the earth from subspace and put it inside.

When I closed the bookshelf without hesitation, a strong light of magical power came out.

Eventually, among the complex and magical patterns engraved on the cover of the Dawon Magic Book, the part corresponding to the stripe turned brown.

‘The connection to the Earth Spellbook has been disconnected.’

But there is no emptiness.

Rather, the power of magic has become more full.

‘I was about to run out of capacity to register in the magic book.’

Should I call this lucky?

Not only that, but in addition to the earth attribute, there was an external means to further strengthen the elemental magical power.

There was a need to obtain an unopened magic book.

‘Of course, it’s incredibly difficult to find.’

Even if you have a lot of money.

If you don’t get a chance, it will be difficult to even see it.

Still, there is no need to rush.

It was enough to set it as an additional goal that could be achieved along the way.

Satisfied, Verden took out the finest potion and immediately healed the wound.

“From the look on your face, you must have done well.”

“I received something very valuable. thank you.”

“I will pass that on to the owner of the ark. It was his decision to give this away. And it’s too early to react like that. Because I still have something left to give.”

What remains is an ancient ordeal, a reward for overcoming the Tomb of the Sorcerer King.

Dawon’s magic book alone was enough.

But I have something more to give… … . It seemed excessive, but considering the size of the ark, it wasn’t something that Verden was concerned about.

“But the reward is not from me.”

“then… … .”

“It’s about time, I’ll be back soon. I’ll let you go. So nice to meet you.”

Elder Len Balhaag hurriedly left the room, pouring a drink into his glass.

‘… … It’s quiet.’

Being alone, silence came.

There is only the sound of the clock’s second hand moving. Soon after, the minute and hour hands tilted together at the same time.

Whoaaaaaaaaaaaa!

Space twisted.

A familiar person appeared in the flow of waves of magic power.

Librarian of the library, Elder Sheorn.

He suddenly appeared, and before he had time to say hello, he sat down on the seat where Len Balhag was sitting, lay down, and drank.

“Neat. not bad.”

“See the elders———”

“I’d like you to call me Librarian instead of Elder. i prefer that one Well, if you’re as stubborn as Legritte, I don’t mind calling you anything.”

Verden listened.

“Yes, Librarian.”

“Good. So let’s get straight to the point. Elder Len Balhag must have said something beforehand.”

Elder Sheorn took out a book from his bosom and placed it on the table.

It was also a book.

However, it was not a magic item like a magic book.

It has no magic power whatsoever.

I can say for sure that the knowledge contained within it was by no means inferior to it.

“… … I heard that books on space magic are not open to candidates.”

“Obviously it was. But there are exceptional cases. Overcoming the Tomb of the King of Darkness, which was classified as an ancient ordeal, belongs to such a case.”

Swoop.

The elder gently pushed the book.

It seems like you can take it anytime, willingly.

But the words weren’t over yet.

“This book is your reward. As one of the only options.”

option?

So, is there anything else?

Verden tilted his head inwardly.

“Asher, they say your magic is very special. You can reproduce other people’s magic and the magic derived from it in your own way… … . Are you sure?”

“Similar.”

ask for magic

Verden did not try to hide it.

Because what the Librarian and Legritte were aware of was only a part of it.

“Right. So I am going to show you another option.”

Elder Sheorn moved his magic.

soft not rough The transcendental character gently wrapped around the space.

“I am Sheorn Kernoden. A magical transcendentalist who pioneered the magic of space.”

he held out his hand

The space twisted and purple fluorescence flickered.

“Should I take the space magic book or see my magic?”

Elder Sheorn twisted his lips.

It was a curious smile typical of a wizard.

“ruler. Take your pick, Asher.”

either one.

They are different, but the meaning is the same.

The space magic you’ve been longing for,

That power finally fell in front of Verden.
