I knew it from the social setting.
As the heir of a great family. In the past, Grandfels presence in social circles was like an oasis or mirage in the desert. Since he didnt enjoy social events, he didnt show up often. The day he unexpectedly appeared, he caught everyones attention
Those days.
What on earth did I think was cool
A greatness that was not revealed.
An influence that couldnt be hidden even if it wasnt revealed.
Used to be criticized even for donating.
It was absolute bullshit that had no rit in the modern society.
But you nad it the Four Heavenly Kings?!
In addition, the contradictory naming sense was a bonus.
I looked at the four living statues.
Three n and a woman.
I recalled their nas.
[Golden Maxima family]
[Forest Yugrik family]
[Cansel family of Valor]
[Acamond family of Fervor]
Living up to the title of the Four Heavenly Kings, they had a very grand na.
The statues that represented the four families bowed to .
They called their master!
Feeling burdened or embarrassed.
As a person, you couldnt help but feel either one of those two.
My iron skin was beyond normal.
I talked calmly.
I accept your greetings.
The way I spoke was very dignified, like a family head.
I swallowed a sigh for a mont.
There was no way that this personality that lived and died by procedures would remain still.
Raise your head.
Raise your head.
The reason I said that was simple.
Four Heavenly Kings
The fact that the stone statues didnt raise their heads.
It wasnt just about the greeting.
What could be the reason for the stone statues to tower near the mansion?
It was to protect the Lord Claude.
But the statues collapsed.
That ant they didnt fulfill their duties.
As if to confess the fact, the stone statue of Maxima said.
We dont have the right.
They dont have the right.
If you guys dont have the right, then what about ?
A person is struggling so hard to make up for his lack of qualification.
How could you guys be less energized than ?
So raise your head.
Because of this prickly nature, Im not going to tell you three tis.
Its not your responsibility.
?
This is also just the weight I have to bear.
!!!!
It was my fault.
Those words were truly spoken with pure aning. The facial expressions of the statues that raised their heads at my words seed unusually rich for stone statues. They looked like they were about to shed tears.
Well, it was a good thing.
[Hidden peace, Claudies Estate]
Now that the primordial evil knew where the estate was, I didnt know when or with what tricks it would try to devour Claudies estate again. Of course, as long as I existed in Claudies estate. My command in Claudies estate was absolute.
Well, it was thanks to the setting that no one could go against it.
The problem is that I cant stay here.
I needed a watchman to fill my absence.
From dwarves to dragons, and now elves.
There were many forces on the Arcana Continent who would step forward and take on my request.
But the problem was, of course, this guys pride.
Could this noble pride leave housework to other people?
So, the status of the Four Heavenly Kings
No, the status of the four families, the fact that I could reverse them was a great harvest.
Of course, there was magic in it.
Unlike the badly damaged mansion.
It must have been because their remains were completely spread out on the floor.
Anyway, I have more things to do.
Make Claudie great again.
In order to make that big goal co true.
Claudies estate would need to regain its forr flory.
Just like the laborious training class quest that I always carried. It beca necessary to frequently go to the Arcana Continent and manage Claudies estate.
By the way, regarding estate managent.
Its actually not my first ti.
I had enabled the [authority] function in the Yusra Kingdom and Frost. The problem was that I lacked experience because Id left most of the work to Hakuna and Harkon respectively.
If I am unsure, I can ask for advice, but
Would that ever happen?
Grandfel was chosen as the successor to the great Claudie family at the age of seven. In other words, Grandfel had been taught various successor classes since he was seven years old.
Its familiar to .
For Grandfel, who received education for gifted children, the reconstruction of Claudies estate might be easy.
Especially considering that Grandfel had a brilliant mind, unlike .
More importantly.
The four families.
Lets think about the grand setting again.
I wasnt sure, but.
Even if the Arcana Continent was devastated, they would probably be fine. Considering that I hadnt heard from them so far They seed to exist faithfully in the setting, just like Claudie.
But I am not happy at all.
I just didnt want to et them.
The reason was simple.
I didnt want to be called the Master of the Four Heavenly Kings!
This was enough for now.
I was worried about my imdiate destination.
But I have no choice but to go.
Visit Sisley and Claudies estate.
It didnt end perfectly, but it was a new beginning
Since both purposes had co to an end.
It was ti to stop by Antonium according to the procedure.
I have to et Kitch.
Indeed.
The capital of the Empire.
Where the legend of Dark Dragon Lee Hoyeol was reverberating.
To that Antonium!
Reality and the Arcana Continent were different.
Thanks to Eunaxus roaring out the Dragon Fear, the Emperor and other Arcanains must have known. The fact that I, Lee Hoyeol, was the survivor of Akshan. Even the fact that I was the legendary Dark Dragon!
Therefore.
I will co back soon.
I was sent off by the stone statues.
From the first step of leaving Claudies estate.
I couldnt help but feel concerned.
What kind of humiliation awaited this ti?
*
The news ca.
Your Majesty, expeditionary forces have found survivors!
Holdemwood has been restored!
I heard the Demon Kings Castle in the East collapsed last night!
It was a complete turnaround.
The legend floating around the continent saved the Empire from falling into the abyss of despair. The Dark Dragon that the dragons cried out. It was thanks to the unbelievable news that the Dark Dragon was the last survivor of Akshan.
The Emperor laughed.
Can I feel rewarded a little with this?
Back when he was a prince.
He hated learning the art of speech so much.
He never thought he would see the light in this way.
Antonium.
It could never be said to be peaceful.
Even the soldiers who had just returned had injuries, both large and small. However, unlike before, the faces of the people were full of life. It was the first ti he had seen it since the demons of the Demon World appeared on the continent.
The Emperor did not waste the opportunity given to him.
No matter how great a legend was.
It was undeniable that it would fade over ti.
Moreover, the opponent was demons.
Considering their innate cruelty, it seed when they got tired of their fear, they would resu their activities.
Rebuilding the fallen walls must be the top priority. Listen to Nash William. I will grant him the command of the Imperial Mage. Use Antoniums mages to build walls in the recaptured area.
I will follow your orders, Your Majesty.
I will also grant access to the Imperial Palaces underground treasury.
!
Underground treasury
The eyes of the retainers who were listening widened.
The items stored in the underground treasury were the best treasures in the Empire.
As well as the Arcana Continent.
You may use as many potions and magic tools as you need while performing your mission.
It was a bastion of the Empire that must be saved until the very end.
Even when Antonium was in crisis, the underground treasury hadnt been opened.
The aning of opening the underground treasury was simple.
This ant that this was an opportunity that must be used even if it ant taking out funds they had saved up.
Nash said, suppressing his pounding heart.
I will surely accomplish my duty, Your Majesty!
Nash succeeded in leaving the palace before his respected brother.
But Nash didnt have the presence of mind to think of Bensch.
His legs just itched.
The mont Nash suppressed his impulse.
A cautious voice followed.
Your Majesty, I am sorry but.
Say it.
Please reconsider that judgnt.
!
Nashs face stiffened.
What kind of lightning bolt was this?
Were they trying to stop him from leaving?
Glare
Nash unconsciously glared.
However, it was a clear misunderstanding.
In the first place, why hadnt Antonium collapsed until now?
It was because everyone gave their lives for the Empire.
It also ant that it was an opinion from a different perspective for the sake of the Empire.
The man who spoke also guessed the Emperors intention.
But they had to remain calm.
The Empire was clearly inferior.
Your Majesty, comprehensive recapture and restoration is realistically impossible. At this mont, thanks to the legend of the Dark Dragon, the demons are not active at all, but As your Majesty knows, hasnt the magical eye opened its eyes again?
It was true.
The eyes of the demons that had disappeared from the night sky for a while began to appear one by one.
Unlike before, they didnt seem to be looking down on them in disdain.
From the way the eyes rolled around, they seed to be wary.
I feel the sa as Your Majesty. I also want to save the Empire and its people as quickly as possible. But the more you do, the more it puts Antonium in danger.
Antonium had already used up a lot of resources in the fierce battle. The number of soldiers was not even a tenth of what it used to be, and those who survived could not be called elite.
Even if you build a castle wall using magic, it would be useless if you dont have the troops to protect it. However, if Antoniums troops are deployed to the recaptured city, even the smallest attack would affect Antonium.
Hmm.
The Emperor smoothed his chin.
As Nash was restless.
A wedge was driven in.
Legends will always be just legends, Your Majesty.
The Emperors eyes narrowed.
He couldnt help it if the Empire was blad for its lack of competence.
But if Hoyeol, who was like the benefactor of the Empire, got criticized.
He couldnt just turn a blind eye to it.
The retainer bowed his head.
Adventurer Dark Dragon Lee Hoyeol, his greatness cannot be described in words. But he will always be a stranger. He is a being from a completely different world!
It wasnt ant to be deaning.
As he had said.
The man also knew that if it wasnt for Hoyeol, the Empire would have collapsed long ago. However, they had to look at reality with a cool head.
After the day they cried out the na of the Dark Dragon, the dragons never appeared on the Arcana Continent again. The demons overheard Your Majestys proclamation, so they are probably still thinking like that.
What do you an?
Look, arent legends ultimately just rumors?
!
Indeed
Dragons and dwarves professed it, and the Emperor himself declared it.
But if the entity itself wasnt here.
It would be just a circulating rumor.
As your Majesty knows, the ti that adventurer Sir Hoyeol can stay on the continent is extrely limited. That will also have a significant impact on the legend being forgotten.
Of course, the legend of the Dark Dragon was still the greatest legend.
However, the problem was that the opponent was the demons.
They were a race who forgot their fear because they couldnt understand their place.
Both Nash and the Emperor turned silent.
The man who was speaking made up his mind and clenched his fist.
Then he continued speaking in a firm voice.
I am not trying to deny the legend, nor am I saying we will not rebuild the Empire. I ask Your Majesty to take slow, but sure steps.
Nash swallowed a sigh.
It was unfortunate, but that was not without reason.
No, in a way, it was an extrely cool-headed decision.
At last, it was an opinion that would change the Emperors mind.
Your Majesty, just as you brought the residents of Dredsen into Antonium. Wouldnt there be a way to welco the rescued people into Antonium? These are people who have survived so far under extre circumstances, so they will quickly adapt to unfamiliar environnts.
The silence continued.
Indeed, was I too hasty?
The mont when the Emperor was about to break his silence and open his mouth.
All of a sudden.
?
Darkness fell over the Imperial Palace.
It was the middle of the day.
And considering the number of windows in the Imperial Place of Antonium.
This shouldnt have happened.
Nash murmured in surprise.
Is it them?
Was it the dwarves Iron Castle?
That was the first possibility he thought of.
But he soon realized that wasnt them.
No matter how big the dwarven ship was.
It wasnt big enough to cover the sun completely.
In that case, then
What could completely block the sun in the sky?
Soon, everyone found the answer to that question.
There was one.
A presence so great that you couldnt completely expose all of it even if you tried.
Even if it didnt ask you to know.
Even if it didnt shout.
It was a one-of-a-kind existence that everyone couldnt help but notice.
Your Majesty, thats!
Indeed.
A legend.
No, a living legend.
Unbelievable.
A dark dragon was crossing the skies over Antonium.
