057. The Three Great Leaders of Enka (2)

“I will not allow it.”

Although he spoke softly, it echoed in Garon’s head like thunder. He was so overwhelmed by fear that he didn’t even realize that he wasn’t breathing. The man glanced at Garon and then picked up the woman and walked away leisurely. With a pace that was neither slow nor fast…

Since the third captain, Garon, remained silent, no one tried to block the man’s path.

As the man moved away like a dot, Garon sat down in his seat, the pressure that had been weighing on his body disappearing as if it were a lie.

“Hehehe! Gulp! Huh, huh…….”

“Are you okay, sir?”

Garon’s gaze, still focused on the direction where the man had disappeared, was still gasping for breath.

‘Witchcraft? No. This is… … a natural power. W, where on earth… … did such a monster come from… …?’

Returning to the general store, Icarone heard the whole story from Reina and headed to the makeshift bedroom. It was a space that the three women had prepared inside the warehouse for him, who rarely came home. It had two thin partitions and a wooden bed, but it had a window and a cozy feel.

Icarone’s two hands are holding Kuo’s rice cake-like feet neatly together.

“Quo.”

“Meow!”

‘Why, Inma.’

-Ouch!

‘What is this? I feel like Kuo said something?’

Icarone shook his head sharply and looked Kuo straight in the eye again before continuing.

“Listen to me carefully. From now on, stay with Reina. This is my home too, so I will always come back here.”

“Niyang, Niyaang!”

‘No, why me!’

“Huh!”

This time, the sound resonated clearly in Icarone’s head, and he was so startled that he even swallowed the wind.

“What the…, what the heck? Am I crazy?”

As Icarone lowered her head in confusion, Kuo opened her mouth again.

“Meow, meow.”

‘My arm hurts, can you put this down?’

“Huh.”

Icarone let go of Kuo’s paw in shock. Kuo, who had been licking his paw, lifted his head slightly and saw Icarone’s surprised face, making himself flinch. This was the first time even Kuo had seen his master’s surprised expression.

“Hey, Niyaowong?”

‘What, what? Can you hear me?’

Icarone paused once more, then suddenly hugged Kuo and stood up.

Ottal. The name of a great wizard who was once called a sage. He was born with the ability to sense mana. A hundred years ago, when the Logar Empire was a kingdom, he lost his parents in a war between the Logar Kingdom and the Aegir Kingdom, became an orphan, and wandered.

Then, by chance, he met the elven race called the Mother of Magic in the Forgotten Forest, which turned out to be a curse disguised as a blessing. He learned magic from the elves in the Mother’s Tree and lived in close contact with Mana, and eventually lost his eyesight. This was because his immature human body could not handle the Mana he was receiving.

I was eighteen when I left the Forgotten Forest, cursing the elves in my youth.

“If you go to the human world, your abilities will eventually destroy you.”

These were the last words of his teacher, Resiel, the king of the elves.

When he came into the world, a great ripple occurred throughout the world of Eidos.

He could read all mana, and he shook the earth and caused typhoons. Many people died by his hand and feared him and worshiped him. The people feared him more than the king, and the king gave him the most beautiful princess in the world.

This is the background of the birth of the Roga Empire, which no kingdom can now disturb.

However, despite having taken over half of the world of Eidos with the power of Ottal, the emperor was always anxious. Every night, he suffered from nightmares in which Ottal suddenly changed his mind, pulled out his own head, and took the throne.

Too much ability causes trouble.

Ottal ended up getting stabbed in the heart by the undead cursed dagger, Crocea, which drained mana. And that too by the hand of his beloved wife… … .

However, the emperor, unable to shake off his fear, cuts off both his hands and both his feet, and finally, just before cutting off his head, his body disappears.

The elven king, Resiel, who was connected to his mind and mana, forcibly summoned him to the Mother Tree. Resiel consumed all of his mana, saving his heart, but his body could no longer hold mana.

The fear of not being able to kill him completely turned into rage, and the Empire of Logar scoured the world, and Othal fled to the criminal city of Shaar, fearing that he might harm the elves.

Yiel hesitated as he entered the emotional room. Two sharp-tongued mercenaries were standing on either side of the door, and one of them was wearing the insignia of the Enka Guild that Yiel had been involved in. He had already come here because of what had happened there, and he didn’t want to see blood again, so he pulled his hood down even lower and entered. Fortunately, no one stopped him, as if there had been no warrants or anything like that.

Inside, an old man was sitting, wearing a gray robe and his face covered by a hood so that it was hard to see. The appraisal room usually had two people sitting there, an item appraiser and a body appraiser, but since there was only one, EL had a slightly awkward expression on her face.

At that moment, the old appraiser opened his mouth, knowing her feelings.

“Whatever you see, please sit here.”

“Ah, yes…….”

There was a sense of gravity in his voice. As if being led, Yiel sat down quietly in front of the old man.

When I looked closely, I saw that the old man had his eyes closed. No, it seemed as if they had not been open for a long time, as if they were sealed, and the place where his eyelids met his face looked solid. I wondered what he could see in that state, but I couldn’t say anything because of the old man’s unique mysterious aura.

“So, what did you want to know?”

The question was, what did you come here to feel? But somehow, it felt like he would tell you something just as the question was asked. El carefully took the dagger out of his bosom and placed it on the table.

“I would like to appraise this dagger.”

“Hmm, this is no ordinary item. Could you bring it a little closer?”

“yes?”

“near…….”

“Ah, yes…….”

Yiel wondered why he was being asked to do something like this when he could have just listened to it, but she quickly put this question aside and brought the dagger close to his face. Then the old man turned his head toward the dagger as if he was looking at it and then continued speaking.

“Hmm… I see you haven’t been eaten yet, so you’re really amazing, young lady.”

“Huh, what do you mean… Please explain in more detail.”

Yiel pressed for an answer, as it seemed like she could get a hint about this dagger for the first time. No matter where she went to the other emotional centers, they only told her about the dagger’s strength and sharpness, but they did not know about its hidden abilities or history.

The old man tilted his head slightly to the right, as if recalling an old memory… … Then he spoke in a relaxed voice, as if telling an old story to his granddaughter.

“This dagger already has a name. It’s called Caladbolg. It was about a hundred years ago… A demon came over. He foolishly fell in love with a human woman. Even though it wasn’t his world, so he couldn’t stay there for more than a few years. He wanted the woman to look at him and miss him even after he left. That’s why he gave her the sword Caladbolg. Caladbolg, filled with his magic, cut down all the men who approached her. In the end, she was branded a witch and burned at the stake. Who would have thought that I would see that sword here….”

The Demon Sword, Caladbolg… … . Although he had expected it, hearing it directly made Iel even more conflicted. Should he finally throw it away? However, he could not just throw it away because if a crisis came and he was struggling, this sword would be the solution. Just like when he first caught the orc… … The old man continued, furtively observing Iel’s expression.

“I have already chosen you as my master. This dagger is bound to me. It is connected to me by mana, so even if I throw it away, it will always come looking for you.”

“Then… what should I do?”

The old man, who had read the state of mind in Elle’s trembling voice, answered in a slightly annoyed voice.

“What, what can you do? You can’t blame the one who gave you strength because you desperately wanted it. All you can do is try hard not to let this guy eat you. However, you must keep in mind that since it is connected to the mana of the possessor, the stronger you become, the stronger this guy becomes. Even if you just have it, it will have an effect, but you have no choice but to use another one as much as possible. Even so, you will continue to test me……?”

At the word test, EL felt a sudden chill and remembered what had happened today. It was a feeling of intelligence that something else inside her was leading her to something that clearly shouldn’t have been that exciting. That was this guy…

Elle lowered her head and muttered something that was either a question or a conversation to herself.

“Is this how I have to live in the end?”

“It’s not like there’s no way at all…….”

Yiel’s head shot up. The old man smiled and continued speaking.

“There is only one way to perfectly control this demon sword. It is to have higher magical power than that demon. However, the problem is that it is virtually impossible to surpass a demon who is comparable to a dragon.”

“Better than the demons…….”

Yiel muttered with unfocused eyes. He had never experienced a dragon or a demon before, so he couldn’t even imagine or guess how strong he would have to be. But when he says something like that, he must be incredibly strong.

Anyway… … I know that I have to become stronger than anyone else. Not for power, or fame, or greed like everyone else, but to avoid being eaten by that monstrous dagger.

Elle looked at the old man with eyes that had sunk much deeper than when she had entered, and spoke.

“I see… Anyway, thank you. How much did the appraisal cost?”

“It’s been a long time since I’ve seen such a rare item, and what do you expect from someone who carries such a heavy burden? Go away. I hope you don’t get eaten by that thing.”

Elle was about to refuse the old man’s offer, but when she saw his serious expression, she closed her mouth. Her mind was too busy to worry about many things.

-Squeak.

“Huh.”

As Elle was about to bow her head slightly to the old man and leave the room, she saw a familiar man holding a familiar cat in his arms.

“You were here.”

“How… did you find me?”

Yiel’s voice rose slightly. But the man, Icarone’s answer was quick.

“I came to get your feelings.”

The man who answered while holding out Quo with a grumpy expression. Yiel’s head, which had been complicated by the overwhelming embarrassment that was coming, was emptied, and the only thought that came to her was that she had to get out of here quickly.

“Okay, okay. See you later then.”

“i get it.”

Iel ran out of the emotional center as if she was being chased. Icarone, who had been staring blankly at her, turned his head and stood in front of the old man.

“I want to feel this cat.”

“Heh……heh heh.”

The old man had his eyes fixed on Icarone since he came in. Icarone frowned slightly as he watched the old man ignore his words and just laugh in vain.

“I only appraise items…….”

“You, you don’t know your level?”
