Overpowered Archmage Doesn’t Hide His Talent - Overpowered Archmage Doesn’t Hide His Talent chapter 201

201 – Faith

The aide frowned slightly.

“Kneel down and beg? “To me?”

I nodded calmly.

Of course, I don’t think the aide lied to me. The blood demons have tremendous power, and it seems that they have actually been secretly controlling this continent.

However, because the opponent was strong, he could not be further entangled.

If you change the direction of a crisis, it becomes a powerful force. So, I was going to try psychological warfare with my aide first. The goal is to find out the information you want and gain allies at the same time.

“Is this a difficult request?”

“Regardless of plan and difficulty, this is impossible in the first place. It is only in front of the princess that I bow down. And one more thing.”

The aide continues speaking calmly.

Asymmetrically trimmed dark blue hair. One exposed eye was glowing red.

“There are only four ancient runes that we have not deciphered. “Don’t underestimate us.”

It was truly an amazing achievement to have completed all of the research except for four. But even so, I was able to snort.

In the end, it is like acknowledging that the proposition that ‘there exists an ancient rune language that cannot be interpreted’ is true.

If there was even one ancient rune language that had not been researched, I was fully qualified to take the lead.

“My evaluation is always accurate. Also, what do you plan to do with the four ancient rune words that we have not currently been able to research?”

“Flan, that’s why I’m asking you. I don’t want to choose between means and methods….”

I finally decided.

I decided to mix 99 truths with just 1 lie.

“It will have to be covered. “I know those four for sure, so you have no choice but to comply with my request.”

Actually, I don’t know what the four ancient runes are.

However.

I was confident that I would understand it if I started researching it in earnest. So, in order to start the ‘research’, observation must be done first, so a clever lie was mixed in.

Is there a power as great as information and knowledge?

Although there was no battle magic exchanged between me and my aide, it was more intense than that situation.

Attitude, judgment, given information…. This is because the superiority is determined after careful competition based on various factors. I repeatedly struggled to get the information I wanted.

The opponents are the guys who control the continent. The fate of the entire continent could have changed depending on this conversation.

I finally opened my mouth.

“The story is spinning in circles. “I’ll talk to you again later.”

“When are you referring to? “Flan, once you step here, you can’t leave until you tie the knot.”

“Ten minutes is enough.”

“Ten minutes… ?”

The aide tilted his head.

“What difference can just ten minutes make?”

“A lot of things will change.”

I raised my mana with all my might. Since my goal was not to fight, I also watched my aide first.

The first apparition rearranges the bookshelves, the second apparition gathers all the books together and spreads them out like a fan, and the third apparition adds mana to the corneas to aid understanding.

Preparations were completed with only three apparitions.

The eyes, aided by magic, quickly scan the contents. It was quick because the goal was observation, not learning.

“It’s done.”

After exactly 10 minutes, I checked all the contents of the books except for the ancient runes.

After arranging the space as it was when I first saw it, the conversation between my aide and I began again.

“Flan, what did you find out in 10 minutes?”

“You have studied human magic deeply. But beastmen, elves…. “The magic used by other species is disastrous.”

I continued speaking while quietly rubbing my chin.

“They make it seem like everything went according to plan, but in reality it doesn’t seem to have been the case. Was I wrong? In particular, it seems like the elves’ magic research has been completely abandoned.”

The look of displeasure cleared from the aide’s face.

And the feeling that soon overtook me was something very distant from discomfort, something similar to joy.

When she releases her lips, her mysterious tone flows out.

“Flan, were you able to judge the magic of elves and beastmen? You can even check the progress of your research…. It’s significant. “It’s significant.”

Her eyes widen a little. But it seemed like he was happy about something.

“You lived for just over twenty years, and even spent half of that time swinging a sword. How on earth did you master all the magic on the continent? .”

The aide was constantly muttering something, as if talking to himself. For a while, at some point, he burst into laughter with a loud, awkward accent.

The reason why the accent was awkward was obvious. The act of smiling must have been very unfamiliar to the aide.

“Flan, you have some credibility. Emotions other than anger began to arise. “This is the first time I’ve met someone of the same level.”

She raised her hands into the air and moved them as if conducting her melody. Then, the space was arranged differently than before, creating a good space for chatting.

In the human world, it was an environment similar to a teahouse.

The aide opened his mouth in a more docile tone.

“I haven’t given up on elf research. Plan, isn’t the reason predictable?”

“Is there a difference between long-lived species and short-lived species?”

“That’s it. Elves are a long-lived species. Because it is not oppressed by time, it is never in a hurry. “We have no choice but to plan for a very long period of time.”

She stared into my eyes. No, it seemed like he wanted to see something beyond the pupils.

“In that respect, humans are great. “Most blood demons despise humans because of their instincts, but in fact, from our perspective, there is no being more attractive than humans.”

“Attractive?”

“Danmyeongjong has a great obsession with leaving behind a legacy. This often leads to something shiny being born, so we divide the continent to preserve humans….”

At that time, the entire space shook.

Black shadows rushed towards the aide. Her many shadows cover her so much that she cannot be counted.

Strange whispers fill the space. The sound was as rustling as tree branches rustling in the wind.

Boom!

However, the aide removes it with one hand.

“It’s okay. Are you okay…. Void Guardians, calm down. Even the princess understood this. “It’s okay to talk about this much.”

Her index finger pointed towards the sky.

Suddenly, a very large purple eyeball was looking down at us. I was able to instinctively realize that these were the eyes of a princess.

“You know everything anyway. “I feel like I have to tell Flan everything in the first place for communication to work, so you guys don’t have to worry about anything.”

After calming down the so-called Guardians of the Void, the aide’s gaze turned to me again.

This time, I opened my mouth first.

“I guess what I was going to say was predictable. Human, beastman, elf…. “So you designated the area where each person lives?”

“Flan, that’s it.”

The aide continued speaking while spreading a map in the air.

“Plan, there was a problem with focusing on human research. “If all races stick together, humans cannot survive properly.”

“So the continent was divided?”

“Yes, we planted trees in the great forest and scattered the magic energy that the demonic beasts love in Berkel. “Everything is within our grasp.”

If you look at it from that perspective, it is a wonderful thing.

Of course, there were people who attempted this in previous worlds, but because the power structure between races was similar, they were never biased toward one side.

This is because there has never been a race that attempted to dominate others with such precision and scale. Also, no other race has succeeded in monopolizing profits to this degree.

The reason why these guys bother to compromise with me….

“I think I understand why you are looking for the ruler of the void.”

“Hmm?”

“Elf, beastman, demon beast. They all have big heads. “It would have been difficult to control the power structure as desired.”

It was simple.

“I want to hide the power of the blood demons as much as possible, but I am slowly losing power. “You will need four ancient runes to solve all your problems.”

My aide was slightly uncomfortable with my remarks.

“You’re putting too much effort into it, so be careful with such remarks.”

The aide quietly looked at the map.

Bang!

I hit the map with my palm until it made a loud noise. Then, an island pressed in the palm of my hand was slowly erased.

She looked at me and said.

“Flan, an entire island was erased right before your eyes. Fortunately, it was an uninhabited island, but if this was a strategic point, it would not be surprising if war broke out.”

A dark red thorn rises from the floor. The aide held it in his hand as if it were a cane.

“This is the end of my story. “Flan, I told you a lot and I didn’t lie.”

She points at me with the tip of her thorn.

“Now it’s your turn. “Have faith in me.”

“It is faith.”

“If it is true that you have studied the remaining four ancient runes, please show me at least a glimpse of the results.”

“After showing it.”

“I can’t kneel down and pray. But Plan, if I have faith in you, I will support you without any questions.”

Support from blood demons is quite meaningful. Because it meant that those who laid the foundation of the world, not anyone else, were cooperating with me.

So what will I present….

“Good.”

That was already decided.

There was something I had already tried, and it seemed like I could definitely succeed now.

“Flan, what should we do?”

Instead of answering, I closed my eyes and concentrated.

A door I had vaguely seen before while researching ancient runes. Only one passage connecting the previous world and the present world.

… Now, I was thinking of unfolding it.
