105.

Beneath a huge round table that feels sacred.

The five men and women gathered again.

They stared at the one who called them to this place.

Hong Il-jeom enjoys his own tea time regardless of the gazes of those who have reached the stage.

Fenolino was sipping tea with his eyes closed.

“How about you say something? Not being late this time is commendable, but isn’t that a reason to be arrogant?”

It was Windor who broke the silence.

He touches the ring and crinkles his eyebrows.

The rest were busy examining each other’s faces and inferring the agenda for this meeting.

“What do you treasure so valuable information… ah! Shall I tell you something about me while we’re here?”

“Windor. This is not a place to gather for small talk.”

Aimor, the guardian of the empire, Londran, pointed out.

Regardless of that, he grinned.

“It’s been a while, but even though it’s the news that you’ve picked up a fairly proficient disciple?”

“hmm? Windor, have you already had an heir born? It’s a ramp! ha ha ha!”

“Delat, are you saying that while knowing my circumstances?”

“Why, since spirits can’t have human children, why didn’t they have surrogate mothers?”

“no it’s not! What do you see my innocence as? Not like that. I got a guy who has a similar situation to me. He said he was smart.”

“Oh, can you elaborate?”

As if curious, Delart leans in.

Windor frowned as he wriggled as if expressing emotion with his pectoralis major muscle.

“Ugh, it’s still burdensome.”

Wiping his eyes with a handkerchief, he went straight to boasting about his disciples.

The situation changed to a light atmosphere in an instant.

Amor gently closed his eyes.

The last meeting of heroes was not like this.

Lokram, the hero who punished the Archbishop of Amnesia.

With his participation, the meeting to eradicate the new evil went smoothly.

‘It’s because there is no central figure.’

This situation arises when the balance of strength and power is similar.

It is freewheeling because there is no central point.

That’s not a bad thing, but Amor wanted them to be serious at the meeting.

“The empire’s heroes should be free-spirited even in a place like this. Isn’t it?”

Eyeing Brat, he asked for consent.

He is the only man like himself who is serious about punishing the wicked.

He would help to control this atmosphere.

But why did he focus on Windor’s words with an interesting face?

“That’s when Lokram appeared. Do you know what he did? Have you entered the mental world of a disciple that I couldn’t enter and dragged you out by the collar?”

As if he couldn’t stand it, Brat opened his mouth while resting his chin.

“That is very interesting. I think he went there after finishing his mission with me, but he seems to have sent the child here after that.”

“Arnie? Is Lokram still in touch with you? I thought it would attract attention right away, but I was surprised.”

“Do you know how many corners fit me? Now, he is working as a heretic inquisitor for the White Church!”

“What did you say? teacher… Kehm, Lokram is the Heretic Inquisitor?”

This time, phenolino showed a strong reaction.

Where did he go when he was relaxing? His eyes are rarely wide open.

How can she be like that, who always felt bored with everything?

‘Amazing.’

Amor thought of Lokram, who drew the emotions of these heroes.

In his opinion, he was strong.

But that’s it.

I had never been through anything with him, so I couldn’t join that conversation.

I am so curious

They are heroes who are indifferent to any stimulus.

why be a hero

They are the ones who have gone through all kinds of battles.

Climbing into the cube of such people, eliciting various reactions.

‘I’m curious.’

Looking to the side, I saw Delart telling the story of meeting him in the wild forest.

In the meeting of heroes, everyone except Amor was busy talking about Lokram.

But that’s only an hour or two.

In the end, he couldn’t stand it and knocked on the round table.

Wow!

A heavy wave spreads.

The attention of the heroes was drawn to the deafening vibration.

“It is we who have to keep our place in our respective positions. You know you don’t have time for this, right?”

“Amor. Could it be that you feel left out when everyone is having fun with the story of Lokram?”

He always maintained the same spirit as Myung Kyung Ji Soo.

That was a little shaken by Windor’s prank.

However, he did not express it outwardly.

Amor calmly swept them away.

“We only come together when there is a big problem that requires a hero to intervene. That’s why Fenolino must have summoned us. Isn’t it?”

“yes? But it’s not particularly urgent. Because I have portal magic.”

“So, who isn’t so keen on bragging about who has been involved more diversely with the undefeated hero?”

“Have you turned up the heat? Please don’t treat me like the ignorant people who put Lokram in danger over there.”

“Huh, if you’ve done this, can’t we go back to the main topic for a moment?”

At his polite suggestion, Fenolino tapped my chin with his finger.

Then, I guess I made a decision and opened a subspace.

“Lokram sent me a letter.”

“yes? I thought you sent a letter only to me?”

Brat pulled out a letter with a dumbfounded expression.

It has the same seal as if it was sent by him.

Seeing this, Fenolino smiled.

“I got that letter from him and I sent it.”

“That, like that. I thought it was sent only to me who I can relate to… .”

Ignoring Brat’s shocked muttering.

Fenolino showed everyone the contents of the letter.

“Lokram found out the location of the Demon King’s Fragment. So you sent us a request for support, what do you think?”

The hall became quiet in an instant.

Where did the lighthearted atmosphere of the moment go?

A seriousness permeated their face.

“Did you just get the location? Wasn’t there a related case written down?”

At Delart’s question, Fenolino took care of the letter.

“It was written. magic kingdom. The magic water manager explosion case. As a result, the National Foundation Day was canceled. But that is not the truth.”

“ah! remembered Was it because of the doppelganger? I heard about it the other day when I met Marquis Gueren about a mineral trade.”

“A doppelganger?”

Brat shows curiosity.

Ignoring Fenolino, he continued.

“Lokram was deeply involved in preventing that incident. In the process, it seems that he came into contact with the fragments of the demon king behind him.”

They are now killing even the sound of their breath.

Memories associated with the fragments flashed through the heroes’ minds.

The pain of loss that I didn’t even want to know, the outright resentment, the emotions of passion that had to be poured out on one being.

“… What are the characteristics of fragments?”

At the words of Delart, who had sunk, Fenolino added his characteristics.

“A languid tone. A personality that seems to be boring. Did you show any hostile behavior?”

After hearing that, Delart and Windor washed their faces dry.

A look of regret was evident on their faces.

“no. If he had seen him, he would have tried to kill him right away.”

“sympathy.”

Windor, who had been leaning against the backrest and twitching his legs, responded in response.

Meanwhile, Brat, who had been silent all along, met Fenolino’s eyes.

“Where did you say you were going?”

“It’s one of the five golden regions. Gelea Volcano. Lokram says that the debris that settled there set up a doppelganger case to divert all attention and buy some time.”

“That makes sense. There is probably no event that would interest all humans on the continent as much as shaking up a country.”

Brat, who nodded, crossed his arms.

“So, who are the heroes on this agenda?”

“I’ll fall.”

He said he would not join and would withdraw immediately.

Brat stared at Windor with his brows together.

“Why?”

“It could be an inducement, right? I don’t know how he got in touch with Lokram the Champion, but who knows if it’s a trap or not? So I’ll be defending the empire.”

“It’s not the empire, it’s protecting your new lover, isn’t it?”

Despite Fenolino’s smirk, Windor deftly passed over.

He shrugs and looks at Delart and Amore.

The two of them were lost in thought, as if struggling.

“Uncles. precious time is passing Let’s make a decision and move on.”

Responds to Windor’s urging.

Their opinions were not much different from him.

“As Windor said, we need someone to protect the imperial capital. We cannot divert power to the southern edge.”

“I can’t help either. If it was him, he would have helped right away, but there are many suspicious corners just listening to Lord Lokram’s explanation.”

The three heroes showed reluctance.

Assuming that the fragments had different intentions, they decided to defend the empire in their respective positions.

“At this rate, only me and Fenolino-sama are left.”

Brat smiled brightly, his eyes shining.

Looking at him, she sighed.

“It would be nice to share the details of the joining operation separately. Won’t you come to the Tower of Truth in five days?”

“Why 5 days? This side is also busy with the Vatican.”

“Shouldn’t you be prepared? Earnestly.”

At one word from Fenolino, Brat swallowed his saliva.

What kind of conversation will come and go is already drawn in my head.

I will join her through her portal magic.

The number of reinforcements to overcome, their level, and even the quality of their weapons must be considered.

There was suddenly a lot to do.

‘Is it time to charge Slika for the meal?’

He is injecting teachings according to his taste.

I did it in the hope that when Lokram saw it later, he would recognize this hard work and get to know him better.

‘I guess the day will come when I can use it like this.’

She is the leader of the silver choir.

If you do this in alliance with the Holy Kingdom, you will be able to establish your own position as well as Lokram’s reputation.

How will Lokram, who became famous thanks to that and made all kinds of profits, come out?

I don’t want to throw off that blunt mask and shed tears of emotion.

“hahahaha, good! It’s good!”

Brat stood up from his seat with a smile on his face.

“Then let’s do our best in each position this time too!”

He left the conference room with Fenolino.

thud! As soon as the door closed, the two went straight ahead.

“Where is Lokram now?”

“There is a Pathfinder by his side who gives regular reports. I got a call just yesterday, but it seems to have arrived.”

“If it is at the beginning of Gelea Volcano… It must be a port town nearby.”

“Is it still called a port town?”

“is not it?”

Fenolino’s question reminded him of an old memory.

Sediment deposited by erupting lava.

The nearby coast, covered with volcanic ash and high heat, is transformed into a new land.

I remembered the time when I took the experimental materials there and imagined the city view.

It was also not a port city.

“It’s been a while since it turned into a miner’s village mainly digging for sulfur.”

“Is it? I didn’t know because I only stopped by 42 years ago. Wow, nature is great. It changes people’s living environment so quickly.”

“So I am worried. What if there is another big eruption like that at Gelea Volcano?”

“Iknow, right.”

Brat, who paused for a moment, expressed concern but smiled.

“But since it’s Lokram, can’t you get through it? Let’s put our worries aside for a while and get ready to help him.”

“Whoops, yes.”

The two let go of their worries, each thinking differently about Lokram.

A hero who is closest to God like himself.

He lost the memory of his relationship with the priest, but he is still his teacher.

After all, they are not the ones who will die if a volcanic eruption occurs, the two thought.

***

I’m dying.

If he dies here, the cause of death is probably because he couldn’t stand the heat.

I climbed the garden alone.

It was a few days ago that Seira was sent to explore the surroundings.

I was on my way after receiving information that there was a village near the volcano.

‘Does it make sense that it’ll become cool once I get over here?’

I couldn’t believe what Sarah said.

If it is this hot and the temperature changes just by crossing a hill, wouldn’t that be a miracle?

“and.”

This is a miracle.

it’s damn cool

Oh, I think I will live.

I went down looking at the scenery of the village spreading under the garden.

Entrance to Gelea Volcano.

Now I had to find a way to get in there safely and climb up there.
