The World After the Bad Ending - Chapter 218
Blue Magic Tower Lord.
Emperadion Sajaris.
Sharin's mother and the man who doesn't remember the woman he impregnated.
I had no choice but to be astonished by his incredible achievements.
Actually, it's not that I don't understand.
He slept with every woman who showed magical potential in order to pursue magical achievements.
It was only to give birth to children who would inherit his talent.
There is no love in it.
There was just the act of creating children.
Therefore, he didn't remember Sharin's mother at all.
He probably thought there was no need to keep unnecessary things in his brain.
"She is my mom."
And Sharin answered.
The Blue Magic Tower Lord raised one eyebrow and looked at Sharin's mother.
"I heard she was dead."
"I don't know either. That's why I brought her to find out."
It was a very bleak conversation for a father and daughter.
"Ah, uh, uhh."
At that time, Sharin's mother reacted to the Blue Magic Tower Lord.
She widened her eyes and ran to him.
"Em, Emperadion, Emperadion!"
She grabbed the Blue Magic Tower Lord's trouser leg and cried out his name.
The Blue Magic Tower Lord looked down at her without showing any particular reaction.
"I need to find out."
He only thought about how she came back to life.
Sharin also looked at her with calm eyes.
The Blue Magic Tower Lord, the only opportunity to improve her social standing, perfectly remembered her mother.
It seemed that her vacant eyes slowly began to regain their color.
It seemed that she would regain her sanity in the near future if she stayed in the Blue Magic Tower.
"So, what did you call me here to talk about?"
Sharin urged him to get to the point.
It seemed that she didn't want to see her mother's disgrace any longer.
"Hardein."
At his call, a wizard hurriedly came out.
"Yes, you called?"
"This is Sharin's mother. Take her and take care of her."
"Sha, Sharin's mother?"
He stared at Sharin's mother with wide eyes.
Then, he carefully took care of her.
A competent servant is one who takes care of things without asking what's going on.
As he took her away, the Blue Magic Tower Lord moved on without paying any more attention.
Sharin glanced at her mother for a moment before moving on.
The place the Blue Magic Tower Lord led them to was a private room.
It was a neatly organized room, but the Blue Magic Tower Lord's desk was piled high with documents.
The Blue Magic Tower Lord took out one of the documents and handed it to them.
"It will be easier to understand if you read it yourself."
As Sharin received the document, I leaned in from the side.
Then, Sharin sat me on the chair and sat on my lap as it was.
"Isn't it easier to see like this?"
Such blatant skinship even in front of the Blue Magic Tower Lord.
I glanced at the Blue Magic Tower Lord, but he didn't show any particular reaction.
He just had a strange look on his face, as if he remembered what I had said before.
I took my eyes off him and looked at the document.
Soon, my eyes began to narrow slowly.
"...Movements have been detected from the ancient dragons?"
"Yes, thanks to that, Lord Baekmok is working hard."
I had a bewildered look on my face after hearing the Blue Magic Tower Lord's answer.
Ancient dragons are always docile, even if they are a threat.
Why did such ancient dragons suddenly start moving?
Each ancient dragon is a national disaster.
The aftermath of their movement was not easily imaginable.
At that moment, I remembered the earth dragon that moved during the Vulcan War.
"Blue Magic Tower Lord, could the reason the ancient dragons are moving be..."
"It might be similar to the earth dragon incident."
As expected, the Blue Magic Tower Lord seemed to think so too.
Someone is intentionally moving the ancient dragons.
If so, who is the person moving the ancient dragons?
'Chunhyegong.'
It occurred to me that he might be using the remnants of the Mystic Society to move even the ancient dragons.
'Seriously.'
My face became complicated.
If I were to pick one reason why he is moving the ancient dragons, it would likely be to check Baekmokgong.
Baekmokgong has been actively working lately.
My influence is great.
She is running around because she directly feels the threats to the world, starting with the Mystic Society, through me.
Such Baekmokgong would have been a threat to Chunhyegong.
So, he used the ancient dragons to turn her eyes outside.
If so, what is Chunhyegong trying to do while Baekmokgong is outside?
This can be understood through the rumors recently spreading among the nobles.
'The power to save people.'
The power to save people, like Sharin's mother's resurrection, is clearly related to mystery.
So, he clearly moved even the ancient dragons to prevent Baekmokgong from intervening.
In addition, he must have a purpose to achieve through this.
'Is it to seize the political world?'
The proposal to save the dead for those who have lost precious people is an offer that can never be ignored.
There must be those among the nobles who have lost precious people.
He may be trying to take away such nobles from the First Prince's faction.
'No, no. The opponent is Chunhyegong. I have to think differently.'
There are definitely people who have lost precious people.
But that's only a minority.
Those who value the present do not look back on the dead.
Rather, there will be those who feel that the saying that they will save the dead is blasphemy.
'There are many present-oriented people among the nobles next to the First Prince's faction.'
Since the First Prince has such a personality, the nobles have no choice but to gather in the same category.
People gather together because they are alike.
So, no matter how much they offer to save precious people, the probability of refusal is high.
But.
What if they take away the most precious person from those who value the present?
Kidnapping involves time, resources, and risk.
But assassination is different.
Even if the culprit is found, they can definitely take away the most precious person from that person.
After taking away such a precious person, they whisper to the deprived person.
I have the power to revive the assassinated person.
If you want to revive your precious person, remember exactly what you have to do.
Can someone struggling with the pain of losing a precious person really pass up this offer?
Unless they lack emotions like me, it is impossible.
'Moreover, assassins can be found anywhere.'
There are those who beg to save their precious person instead of themselves dying.
This tendency becomes even stronger, especially in parent-child relationships.
If you set a condition to kill others in exchange for saving a precious person, there will definitely be someone who comes forward.
Some may say that it is a pessimistic thought.
But the opponent is Chunhyegong.
If it's Chunhyegong, he would do even worse than what I thought of, not less.
'I have to call Baekmokgong.'
I can't do anything about Chunhyegong as I am now.
He holds half of the empire in his hands.
If I carelessly attack him, I will only be branded as a traitor.
'There is only suspicion about the relationship with the Evil God.'
Chunhyegong has left no connection with the Evil God.
Even if I push forward with suspicion, there will only be an uproar, and Chunhyegong will cause a rebellion with his confidants.
And above all, there are dangerous guys under him.
The Echoing Heavens Brigade.
A group of monsters secretly raised by Chunhyegong.
Only the completed protagonist party in the final scenario could face them.
'It's not enough.'
Sharin would probably be the only one who wouldn't fall behind when facing the Echoing Heavens Brigade at the current level.
Sharin is already a complete wizard.
But even Sharin is doubtful whether she can hit them with magic.
Her firepower is already complete, but hitting them with magic is a separate story.
'It's up to me to create that opportunity.'
So, in order to check Chunhyegong now, the power of Baekmokgong and the First Prince is essential.
I should tell the First Prince's side the story and then immediately set out to find Baekmokgong.
'But even if I set out to find Baekmokgong.'
If they can't resolve the ancient dragons, it will lead to another threat to the world.
"Is this the reason you called me?"
"Sharin, you engraved the magic of the Fire Dragon on him."
Sharin shut her mouth.
The magic of the ancient dragons is taboo.
From the moment she engraved the magic of the ancient dragons on me, Sharin also broke the taboo.
"Do you know why Jerion of the past was called the Heavenly Dragon and was the most feared among the ancient dragons?"
The Blue Magic Tower Lord asked me this time.
And I finally realized why the Blue Magic Tower Lord called Sharin.
In addition, he probably expected that I would follow if he called Sharin because of the surrounding situation.
"Because the Heavenly Dragon's magic is the only magic that works on the ancient dragons."
The ancient dragons have a fraudulent body that is immune to all magic.
But the magic created by Jerion, the Heavenly Dragon's magic, is different.
This magic was the only magic that could kill the ancient dragons.
In the past, when the ancient dragons were rampant.
Jerion instilled deep fear by directly punishing them.
So that they would not dare to think of invading the human world in the future.
But as time passed, Jerion has now become a thing of the past for the ancient dragons as well.
They are only tacitly guarding the fear of the past.
In reality, they could rise up at any time and extend their threat to the human world.
"But with my current magic, it's impossible."
Jerion is a different level of strongman.
He wields a much higher output of power than the Heavenly Dragon Transformation I use.
I might be able to remind the ancient dragons of bad memories, but they won't see me as a threat.
"That's why I called Sharin and you to solve that."
The Blue Magic Tower Lord brought another document.
This time too, the document was handed to Sharin.
The document was densely filled with countless words.
All I can know is that this is some kind of magic formula.
I couldn't figure it out with my knowledge.
But Sharin was different.
She, who had been looking at the document indifferently at first, slowly lowered her body.
She read the document with such concentration that her body would have leaned forward if I hadn't held her.
After reading all the documents, Sharin frowned and raised her head.
"Father, are you crazy? I don't want my husband to die."
To kill me.
Hearing those words, I asked them both for an interpretation.
Then, Sharin threw the document on the table and said.
"This is a lightning magic formula with a much higher output than the lightning of the goddess that my husband uses. It has the power comparable to a Saint-level magic."
Power comparable to Saint-level magic.
What kind of magic did he create?
"The natural lightning handled by the goddess has a clear limit. In particular, the power of lightning striking the ground can only be reduced."
The Blue Magic Tower Lord continued his explanation to help them understand.
"In fact, the Heavenly Dragon Transformation that Jerion handled would not have been made up of ordinary lightning.
It is clear that the Saint-level magic he handled assisted in this."
"If you do this, my husband will be burned black. Even the current lightning is precarious."
Sharin denied the Blue Magic Tower Lord's opinion.
Looking at her, the Blue Magic Tower Lord's blue eyes shone.
"No, it can be done. Sharin, if you and I work together to create a vessel that can contain lightning by performing magic imprinting, nothing is impossible."
Sharin's eyes narrowed.
The Blue Magic Tower Lord glibly acted as if it was an unavoidable choice to stop the ancient dragons.
But the reality is different.
He was just hoping that Jerion's magic, the Heavenly Dragon Transformation, would be perfectly completed.
"Nonsense..."
"Let's do it."
I answered instead the moment Sharin tried to deny it.
She made her eyes round and looked back at me.
But I couldn't refuse this proposal either.
"However, let's assume that Sharin is in charge of everything properly."
"Honey!"
"Sharin, the ancient dragons' rampage is dangerous."
I gently wrapped Sharin's arms around me to persuade her.
"Besides, the situation in the imperial family is also what it is. No one knows when something will happen in this state."
I have to become stronger here.
The upcoming Act 6.
I had to defeat Chunhyegong and the Evil God's demons in this Act 6.
To do so, completing the Heavenly Dragon Transformation is also an answer.
"...It's not that easy. The more precisely you have to cut the magic of the ancient dragons, the higher the probability of the ancient dragons' remnants running wild."
"I have a genius wizard next to me."
When I smiled, Sharin stared at me intently.
Then, she let out a long breath and looked back at the Blue Magic Tower Lord.
"Since my husband says he will do it, I will do it for now. But I will stop it immediately if my husband is in danger."
"So be it."
The Blue Magic Tower Lord answered as if he didn't care.
He just wanted to perfectly complete the Heavenly Dragon Transformation.
He is a consistent person.
"Before that, I have to go to the imperial family. I think I have to see His Highness the First Prince because of this incident."
"I will prepare that for you."
Thankfully.
I don't have the authority to meet the First Prince on my own.
Sharin looked at me dissatisfied, but I stroked Sharin's head to calm her down.
She really grumbles like a fox.
The response to the ancient dragons is prepared.
All that's left is an audience with the First Prince.
And finding out why Iris can't be reached.
Those are the two things.
