CH 83

After confirming that Aquarins processed in a special way is as good as the Scroll.

I called Vikram and asked him to do it.

[“Vikram. Please cast attack magic, defense magic, capture the magic, and movement magic on each of these Aquarins.”]

[“No… Aren’t you tired after processing so many jewels for the Sacred Tower?”]

[“It’s not difficult at all to make jewelry for children.”]

I made a small necklace for my children and put various self-defense magic in it.

‘Because being a transcendent is something that will be discovered someday.’

There is a possibility that Lydia will reveal the children’s identities.

Gelon or the people of the Magic Tower may investigate and reveal the children’s extraordinariness.

Whatever the case, I didn’t want anything bad to happen to Damon and Arsene. So, even if the enemy tries to harm them, I made self-defense items so that they can protect themselves at any time.

‘is it strong for self-defense?’

However, even if I had been prepared, I was nervous that someone might disturb the children.

“Wiz. It’s time for children’s ability training soon, right? Can I watch it?”

When I asked, Wiz responded.

“If anyone hears, they will know that I have driven out my master. The children always want you to come and watch them practice, really.”

“haha…It’s because I’ve been busy. Now that I have time, I need to go see the children’s skills.”

I slipped away and glossed over why I hadn’t gone to see my children practice.

Being busy wasn’t just an excuse. During the construction of 50 sacred towers, there was no time to breathe except for reading books. But the fundamental reason is…

“Oh! Lady Frey!”

bang-!

Yes. It was because of this.

As I learned from Wiz, I swallowed dry saliva while watching Damon use his ability. Arsene, who was training next to him, was also delighted to find me.

“Ahaha…they are really strong.”

Saying that, I tried to wave my hand, but why? My body was stiff and it was not easy to move.

It was because my eyes overlapped with the scenes I had seen in my previous life, where the children were making the world go wild.

Even when I first saw Damon and Arsene’s abilities, I had nightmares for several days.

‘How hard did Wiz teach the children?’

Arsene’s ability was to read the opponent’s mind, but as a transcendent, his ability to use normal magic was extraordinary.

Bang-!

Not to mention the physical strength of Damon that splits the floor.

“Lady Frey! What do you think?”

“I just thought you did a little better.”

I thought a lot when I saw the children who showed off their transcendental aspects to the point where my mouths were wide open, and ran to me like cute puppies and asked for praise.

This… I don’t think I’m worried about the children being attacked, but I think I have to worry about things getting bigger by crushing the enemy.’

When I checked their skills with my own eyes, I felt like I could see how these kids lightly mocked the world. If you have this level of skill, you won’t be beaten anywhere, so you need other knowledge.

“Damon, Arsene. Shall we talk about something important for a second?”

“Do we eat cookies too?”

“Okay. Let’s drink milk and talk.”

Soon Emma brought snacks. I started by wiping the children’s hands thoroughly with a wet towel.

“Damon, Arsene, do you know who you are?”

Then, the two twinkled their eyes like mischievous people trying to show off what they had learned well.

“I am a transcendentalist.”

“I was born on the day of the prophecy, so I have special powers.”

‘Oh!’

I handed each of them a cookie.

“That’s right. you are transcendent do you know what that means?”

Perhaps this question was a bit difficult, the children tilted their heads while eating the cookies.

I remembered what I had read in books when I was little, not long after Lydia was born.

“Since long ago, Transcendents have periodically appeared in the Empire. People called the Transcendentalists messengers of God.”

“Hmm”

Unlike Arsene, who showed signs of knowing, Damon seemed to have no idea what he was talking about.

“Arsene, what do you mean?”

“It means that we are God’s Roar.”

‘Huh?’

“Wow! Lion!”

I was a little sorry for Damon’s joy as if he had the whole world, but I corrected their misunderstanding.

“Damon, Arsene. It’s not a lion that does.”

“Huh…”

Both of them quickly became sullen. Wiz couldn’t hide his laughter at the word “God’s messengers”.

I comforted the two of them and continued the story.

“A lion means an errand boy.”

“But it said he was the king of animals…”

“It has nothing to do with the lion who speaks. In other words, people call transcendentalists the messengers of God.”

It is a legend that has been handed down since the founding of the country, and at the same time, the main setting of <Abandoned World> is as follows.

God gives a prophecy through the temple when Obelir is in crisis. Through prophecy, only three of the children born on the day set by God will be born with this ability, and people call them transcendental.

“But it’s not just your ability that makes you special.”

There is only one thing Transcendentalists who are born with a crisis in Obelir have to do.

“A person who is recognized by all three transcendental beings born at the same time on the same day inevitably becomes the master of the empire. That person will become emperor.”

The reason Daniel didn’t tell me was that he was protecting two Transcendents. Gelon attempts to find and gather the Transcendentalists through the Magic Tower. 

It must be because of the inevitability that the one who is chosen by the chosen child becomes the emperor.

“I think it is difficult…”

Damon, who had been sullen since he found out that he was not a god’s roar, once again pouted his mouth.

But this time, it was natural that the children did not understand.

‘They wouldn’t know how great and dangerous it is for the person they chose to become the emperor.’

Isn’t it a perfect ability to get caught up in the schemes of those in power?

“To sum it up, some bad guy could be targeting our Damon and Arsene to become emperor himself. If that person was chosen, that person’s chances of becoming emperor increased.”

“Ummm then…”

Arsene, who was relatively quicker to understand than Damon, asked an unexpected question.

“Can my brother and I make Lady Frey the emperor?”

“What?”

While I was speechless for a moment, Damon also glared as if he had realized it.

“Really?”

“Well, according to legend…?”

But the moment I Was about to add that I shouldn’t be chosen as the emperor just because I gave them a lot of cookies and read them a fairy tale.

Damon and Arsene grabbed the hem of my clothes and said.

“Your Majesty, Frey.”

“Yes, yes.”

“Oh, thank you. I’m not going to make you stop eating carrots, though.”

I laughed softly, not knowing in a dream how their playhouse-like declaration would work.

* * *

“Your Highness, Duke of Gelon. The whereabouts of Anton Magic Tower Master is still unknown.”

“Tsk… he would only make a mistake trying to run away.”

“….”

The knight couldn’t even say anything.

Is there anyone other than Duke Gelon who can help his old friend regardless of whether the Holy Knights, the emperor, or the Grand Duke Prause run amok?

‘The reason why I ordered an investigation is probably just to reinforce the claim that the magic Tower lord fled at night.’

However, the reality was completely different from what the article expected.

After sending the Grand Duke Prause back, Duke Gelon moved to the hidden basement of the castle using a moving magic circle.

It was a place that could not even be noticed by non-owners of the castle.

“Eup, ugh….”

And in the middle of it, there was Anton, the owner of the magic tower tied to a chair and gagged.

“Anton, I’m sorry.”

“Eup, ugh.”

Duke Gelon looked at Anton.

Although the master of the magic tower was his subordinate, he was the one who shared the same purpose with Gelon for the longest time.

“Personally, there were many days when we drank together, but I never thought I would part with you like this… ”

Duke Gelon placed his hand on the top of Anton’s head.

Anton’s mouth was wet with blood in an instant.

“Argh, ugh–.”

His Heart was pounding like an electric shock. A feeling of cold blood in the body. Anton glared at Duke Gelon with bloody eyes.

It was a gaze that clearly contained a line of questions, ‘Why did you do this to me?’

Duke Gelon closed his still-living eyes with his hand and said.

“If you want to curse, curse the incompetent emperor and Frey with her Divine power and magical power of the goddamn imperial family.”

“Huh, uh…Ugh.”

“Don’t you know better than anyone? That Gelon is a family born only to stand on top of the imperial family.”

Takk!

Anton’s arm lost its strength and fell. There was no more painful breathing.

“Now, we have a foothold to show in front of everyone that divine power is worse than magical power.

Duke Gelon released Anton’s limbs. He remained expressionless even when he saw that body slammed to the floor with a clear wound.

“… … .”

Seeing the dead Anton, it was Crown Princess Garnet who was watching the scene from afar, turning pale and shivering.

And it was only Lydia who had been hiding behind her mother and closing her eyes.

“My daughter-in-law is more timid than she looks.”

Duke Gelon approached the two as if nothing had happened. Then he reached out his cold hand and stroked Lydia’s hair.

“As you can see, Anton doesn’t seem to be able to work anymore… For the time being, can my transcendental granddaughter listen to her grandfather’s request?”

Lydia, whose heart sank at the words, looked at her mother with eager eyes.

However, Garnet was in a situation where it was difficult to endure her share of fear.

“Yes yes… If you tell me, I will follow.”

“Oh my God…”

Lydia quietly let go of the hem of her mother’s clothes that she was holding onto.

For some reason, she remembered Frey, who was walking around the imperial palace holding the hands of her two children tightly.
