The name of the Minister of National Defense that flashed on the youngest child’s phone soon changed to another name.

[about 1,000 people]

It was truly a blatant signal. Dawn gently massaged her eyebrows and looked at her youngest child’s face with her eyes, hoping for an explanation.

“In addition to Minister Cho Woong-chan, did the Minister of National Defense also tie a string to you?”

Sith responded with actions, not words. So, she immediately pressed the shutdown button on her phone.

“No, wait… .”

Before Sethi could say anything after seeing the phone connection disconnected, his cell phone rang again and Minister Kim Kang-hyuk’s name came to mind.

Sis hung up the call again. Jiing, thump, chirping, thud again.

Did he repeat that about ten times? Sis said, placing the cell phone in Dawn’s hand.

“This is a contact phone given to me by Minister Cho Woong-chan, but it appears to have been hacked. or not… .”

“… .”

“It’s either a cell phone made like this from the beginning.”

Dawn quietly looked down at her phone. The phone flashes the names of Dawn and the Minister alternately, with all other functions stopped.

What is the reason for contacting yourself in this way?

Because of the fan news that beat up Shiina? Or because of the conflict between ministers?

Perhaps Minister Cho Woong-chan was preparing to leave him.

“… You’ve already created a line within the Patriots. “There is no need to receive this call.”

Seti, who had a similar thought in mind, said so. She nodded her head as if agreeing with what she said, but didn’t take her eyes off her phone.

A brief moment of silence, and even a brief moment of worry.

Dawn pressed the call button without hesitation. Seti was a little surprised, but he didn’t bother to stop him.

Soon, a heavy soldier’s voice was heard from the other side of the phone.

[Academy Airport Gate 2 luggage storage. Box 28. The password is 600228. Repeat. Academy Airport Gate 2 luggage storage… .]

… What is this again? She waited eagerly to see if Dawn had any more hidden stories.

However, the same content was repeated dozens of times, and nothing particularly different came out.

Yeo-myeong belatedly ended the call and tried to reconnect, but the youngest’s phone had already returned to normal.

This…

“… “It looks like the Minister of National Defense has something he wants to secretly deliver to his brother-in-law.”

It was just as Siri said. Her dawn, understanding her situation, looked at her Seti’s face, and then immediately covered her and her own face with a vision of her bloody tears.

“… “Let’s go right away?”

“Yes, I have to remove the ox horn as soon as possible. “Why, do you have anything urgent to do?”

“Urgent? Let’s find our sister’s divine name… I also need to check when the stupid dragon will repair all the tear pearls… The report on the shepherds to be sent to Minister Kim Kwan-hyung also has to be fabricated… You also need to understand public opinion trends… also… .”

Seti, who had been thinking about counting his hands, opened his palm wide and said.

“There is nothing urgent. let’s go.”

The youngest, who was watching from the side, slowly raised his hand and asked.

“Can I come with you too?”

“no.”

As Seti cut it off like a knife, the youngest grinned.

“Hmm… okay? “I understand why Nettie is siding with the saint.”

“… ?”

What does that mean again? As Dawn tilted her head, her youngest fled from Seti’s palm.

“See you again! Brother-in-law!”

***

As if to prove the excitement of Olympia, the Academy Airport was overflowing with people.

Reporters and officials from all over the world, as well as parents and students meeting their families for the first time in a long time.

After taking in the scenery of the airport for a moment, Yeo-myeong felt an ambiguous emotion as she saw the students meeting their families. Her feelings were closer to envy than jealousy.

What does it feel like to go to school and participate in the Olympia with the support of loved ones?

With a heavy heart, he unconsciously grabbed the disguised Seti’s hand. Seti held his hand tightly without saying anything, and the two headed towards their destination.

-Oh, I’m not close with the saint. I don’t accept interviews.

-About a thousand people? That’s a complete idiot! But this interview becomes a mosaic, right?

-No, mom, I don’t fight with him because we are in different grades. Finals? Uh, that’s… .

His story tickled my ears at times, but that was it.

Anyway, when Yeomyeong arrived at the luggage storage area at Gate 2 of the Academy Airport, she searched for the storage locker first.

“Number 28… “It’s here.”

Locker number 28 was no different from the surrounding lockers. She couldn’t feel any mana inside, and it didn’t seem like there were any bombs or poison gas inside.

But questions still remained. The question is who, when, and how placed the items in this storage unit?

First of all, they were not shepherds. Did the guards who followed Rep. Hong Yong-wan or the National Assembly members put it there?

It was highly likely, but the possibility that the Minister of Defense’s henchmen remained in the academy could not be ruled out…

The worries didn’t last long. You will find out if you check anyway.

After making his decision, he immediately entered the password.

600228.

As soon as I entered a number that I couldn’t tell if it was a date or a number with some meaning, the locker was unlocked with a click.

Dawn carefully opened the door and checked inside. Perhaps it was an explosive, but Seti had drawn up a lot of mana.

But… What was inside was a box, not a weapon or anything else. A box a little bigger than your fist at most.

“… “Isn’t it at least uranium in it?”

Unlike Seti, who thought of the worst possibility, Dawn infused mana into the box. She planned to first take ownership and place it in her inventory.

However, the inventory remained silent. This means that ownership cannot be obtained just by infusing mana.

In this case, it is a living creature, a magic tool, or… Arcane artifact?

Dawn carefully opened the box lid. As expected of her, there was an item oozing with mana in her box.

A shell casing that emits an ominous, numbing mana.

After checking the contents, Yeomyeong immediately closed the box. Seti said as he looked around to see if anyone had felt Mana.

“… “Isn’t that like a vision artifact?”

“Yes, that is also a fairly elaborate item.”

“It’s a vision relic sent by the minister… When do you think it was sent?”

Dawn answered while checking the dust accumulated in the box and the period of use of the storage box.

“I guess I put it there around the time Rep. Hong Yong-wan came.”

To be exact, it was probably placed there by the guards who followed Rep. Hong Yong-wan and the soldiers who had transplanted monster cells.

The question is, why was this revealed only now?

By simply shattering Shiina-senpai’s spine? No, I didn’t think so.

Rather, it’s bigger than that… For example, isn’t it because of the monster soldiers we saw in Seungman City and what happened with Hiraria?

Of course, I had to look to know for sure. Dawn stuffed her box into her pocket and took Seti’s hand.

“First, let’s go to a place where there are no people.”

“Shall we call the other kids too?”

“Well, since the saint and the sisters are busy, let’s leave them alone and only invite people with knowledge of magic. With Master, Miri, Salome… .”

As soon as Salome’s name was mentioned, Seti looked troubled.

“I guess Salome is meeting Auguste’s granddaughter?

“Alone?”

“huh.”

“Oh, then in advance… No, send Master to monitor. And no matter what happens in the future, don’t let the two of you be alone. got it?”

Suddenly, Dawn spoke with a straight face, and a question mark appeared above Seti’s head.

“why?”

“Well, Auguste’s granddaughter is from France. “How are you going to deal with Salome calling her a Nazi in front of him?”

“… .”

“Beyond Alsace-Lorraine to Brittany… ! Wow, it’s scary to even imagine.”

Instead of saying that you were probably the only one who knew such a trivial speech, Seti chuckled. Because she even liked this side of him.

Anyway, the two people who took the vision artifact gathered their colleagues and headed out of the airport.

The day when the second round of the Olympia preliminaries is held.

Countless people at the airport enjoyed this moment without knowing what was happening.

***

The first-year south faculty lounge has now become a hangout for the group.

“Did you call me?”

As soon as Soemiri arrived, Dawn opened the box of vision artifacts.

“Can you take a look at this in advance?”

“What is it? no way… ring?”

“uh? no no. It’s not like that… “It was sent by the Minister of National Defense of Korea.”

“Department of Defense? “Minister Kim Kang-hyuk?”

Soemiri’s reaction to encountering the bullet casing-shaped vision artifact was more than expected.

She had a more serious look on her face than when she heard the princess.

“this… It’s an arcane artifact, right? “It was also made in a fairly old-fashioned way.”

“The old way? “Are there any trendy things about vision artifacts?”

Instead of answering right away, Soemiri carefully lifted the shell casing and looked around.

“hmm… It’s a bit of a long story, but the first arcane artifacts were created by beings in the sky to convey information to humans on earth. In the process, it also tests the owner. A representative example is the comet sword vision artifact that Dawn possesses.”

“… .”

flinching, Dawn belatedly remembered the Comet Sword sleeping in her inventory. It seemed like Hye-seong’s voice was echoing in her head as she cried out that she wanted to return to the Holy Sword.

Anyway, Soemiri, who didn’t know that, continued talking.

“Our vision relics were created by some of the greatest wizards in this land with memories of them. However, until I learned about Earth’s brain science, I made it in a somewhat ignorant way.”

“If it’s an ignorant method… ?”

“At the time, I didn’t know anything about things like the cerebral cortex or the hippocampus, so I just stuck to certain parts of my memory. Why, isn’t there such a thing among humans? “Some vision artifacts are like moving pictures, and some are like falling into a dream.”

Dawn nodded. Certainly, Elder Jangman once gave a similar explanation.

“The one that falls into the dream is a vision artifact made in the old fashioned way. To give a simpler example… Well, would you say it’s the difference between an edited documentary and a full video that hasn’t been edited at all?”

After hearing the documentary analogy, Yeo Meng managed to understand what she said. It’s like a one-hour animal documentary made by compiling and editing over 100 hours of footage.

Soemiri put down the shell casing again and said.

“Anyway, this is a vision artifact that contains all the memories… “I recommend not using it.”

“why?”

“I don’t know how many years’ worth of memories I have stored there. Even if you just look at it, the amount of memory it contains is enormous… If you are unlucky, you may have to watch over memories that are more than 10 years old. In reality, it may not take 10 years, but it will still take more than a week.”

“… .”

10 years. Dawn looked down at her shell casing with her gloomy eyes. Why did the Minister of National Defense send this item to himself? Is he simply going to trap him in an arcane artifact and fuck him? Considering the bad relations that had continued since Manchuria, it was quite possible, but at the same time, it was extremely inefficient.

Wouldn’t it be more efficient to send monster soldiers right away or to harass him politically than to create and send arcane artifacts with difficulty? This is better… It made more sense to think of it as some kind of test.

As the doubts continued to grow, Seti asked cautiously.

“Dawn, you’re not planning on using it, are you?”

“… .”

Dawn could not answer easily. Considering safety, I could have just passed it by, but looking at it another way, it was an opportunity to obtain internal information about the Korean government. Information from the Secretary of Defense and no one else.

Perhaps we could obtain information that would shake up the Korean government. Why doesn’t even the largest stone start from a small crack?

Moreover, thanks to the support given by our Olympia preliminaries, we had plenty of time.

“Seti, I think…” .”

“I am against it.”

“… .”

“Even the Comet Sword took five days. But this… Miri, how long will it take if you’re unlucky?”

“well. one month?”

“Did you hear? It’s been a month. one month. Of course, if you want, Dawn can stay by your side in your dreams for a month and do all sorts of things… “Are you okay?”

Sethi had a point. Although she had been more curious about what exactly it meant to do this or that for a month than that, she decided to put her curiosity aside for the rest of the day.

I was going to do that… When I saw Soemiri, this thought suddenly occurred to me.

“By any chance, are the memories seen in the vision artifact similar to the dream of the World Tree? “The comet in the comet sword was like a dream.”

“uh… Maybe? Dreams are basically based on images derived from memory… .”

Soemiri, who had said that far, closed her mouth and looked at Dawn and Seti alternately.

“… “You don’t want to go into the vision artifact together, do you?”

“Why not?”

“You’ll have to try, but it’s possible… I think I’ll do it… .”

Immediately after, Dawn spoke while holding the shell casing.

“let’s do it. “If I go with you, who can control dreams, even if a problem arises, it won’t take more than a month.”

Soemiri blinked, then said, ‘Aren’t you going to stop me?’ I looked at Seti with that meaning in mind. Then Seti shrugged his shoulders.

“I’m definitely on Dawn’s side. Honestly, I don’t think Dawn will lose to just a dream… Well, if there’s a problem, I’ll take care of this and that for a month.”

“… .”

Unlike Yeo-myeong, a man, Soe-miri, a woman, was able to fully anticipate what Seti said. She swallowed her breath and nodded her head.

“… Inside the vision relic sent from Korea. “It’s not a bad place for a date.”

“Speaking like that makes me feel like a bad guy.”

“That’s what I said. “If it’s not Minister Kim Kang-hyuk’s memory, it will come out right away, so you know that.”

After saying that, Soemiri immediately took out the wand with the World Tree crystal on it and held it tightly, holding the hand holding the shell casing with the other hand.

“Are you going to start right now?”

“huh.”

“I knew so. Let’s see… Way… After interacting with my mana, infuse it into the arcane artifact. “It’s easy, right?”

Dawn smiled and mixed her own mana with the mana of the World Tree she sent.

The mixed mana awakened the old magic imprinted within the arcane artifact.

Flashing.

A small light enveloped Dawn’s vision, and he closed his eyes and opened them again.

***

Squeak—

The moment the door of the prison-like cage was opened, the boy who had been carving a stone into the cold concrete wall to make an object, whether an awl or a dagger, stopped his hand.

A faint light flickered on and a long shadow was cast over the head of the boy holding the weapon. The boy hiding in the sparkling shadows dusted off his stone dagger.

Soon, Yeomyeong, holding Soemili’s hand tightly, entered the prison and looked at the back of the boy’s head.

The boy, wearing a cloth that looked more like rags than clothes, slowly turned his head to face Dawn.

“You’re here. “You really came.”

The boy’s voice was dry, as if he had not had water for a long time.

“Are you brave, or are you fearless?”

The boy looked Dawn up and down and laughed. He didn’t even give Soemiri a glance. Perhaps he didn’t see Soemi in his eyes, or he seemed to be intentionally not looking.

Anyway, Dawn answered towards the boy holding the stone weapon.

“It’s both. Minister Kim Kang-hyuk.”

“… Kanghyuk Kim. Oh, yes, that’s my name.”

The boy paused for a moment. And he added, licking the stone weapon with his tongue.

“My name given by His Excellency.”

dismissal. Dawn heard a hint of awe and immense fear in his voice, and she asked again.

“Why did you send me this arcane artifact?”

“It’s not that great of a reason. just… “I wanted to know.”

“… “Am I stupid enough to recklessly use an arcane artifact or not?”

“No, are you a patriot or not?”

Was it just an esoteric artifact to test patriotism? She said, holding back the dawning steam.

“Do you know it when you see it?”

“Yes, you can tell when you see it.”

The next moment, Dawn realized that what she meant by ‘seeing’ and what the minister said was ‘seeing’ had different meanings.

Just-! The moment the minister hit the stone weapon on the ground, the surrounding landscape distorted and a completely different scene unfolded.
