124 – Tomb of the First Emperor (5)

“My descendants.”

“He passed the difficult test well.”

The first emperor had a genuinely happy expression.

Ruid and Victoria looked at each other.

“Are you completely mistaken?”

“I don’t think we should go in.”

I wonder if he is doing something bad to the deceased who died a thousand years ago.

Because it was more of a bug than a legitimate procedure.

However, neither Victoria nor Louis said to stop leaving.

Yeah, I’m curious.

‘Looking at the 5th magic installed, it looks like it will give you something amazing. I hope it’s something good.’

The emperor smiled.

“No need to be too surprised.”

The Emperor paused for a moment, as if to give him time to be amazed.

Unfortunately, neither Victoria nor Louis were surprised.

‘Is it a cold reading?’

Behavior that predicts by understanding human psychology.

Perhaps, if it weren’t for someone like Ruid who could see through all the tricks here, I would have been shocked at this timing.

Unfortunately, however, Ruid was one of the few wizards who could use the 5th magic.

“I am welcome. However, it is real. What you are seeing is just me in the 13th year of the Imperial calendar.”

‘By the way, it looks real.’

The colors, air and smells around you.

Everything looks real. However, what Ruid saw, heard, and felt right now was the 13th year of the Imperial calendar. It is a space about 938 years ago.

As a test, Louis went in front of the emperor and shook his hand.

The emperor with a soft smile penetrated without touching his hand.

A device that made it possible to glimpse the past from the future-

Even if you know it, it is a marvelous magic.

How did Delrin, a person from a thousand years ago, do such a thing?

“Come to think of it, her descendants must have never seen Delrin. That’s definitely disappointing Delrin is very beautiful. This is a small gift from me, so please accept it gratefully. Hey Delrin. Can they see you?”

The Emperor looked into the sky and said.

This was exactly where Victoria stood.

“Mama.”

“Yes.”

Victoria gave a small nod of her head and stepped in front of her.

Where Victoria was standing, she saw the figure of a completely unknown woman.

‘This is Archmage Delrin.’

My impressions of the greatest wizard and historical figure who established most of the current magic theory……

“You are surprisingly young.”

“Has Mama ever seen Delrin?”

“Yes. Unlike other great men, Delrin left no portraits.”

I was young.

She was also quite a pretty girl.

In a way, she seemed like an ordinary girl.

With her blue hair down to her waist, she had the same flair as the Windsors.

She shone strangely, as if studded with stars, a look that would remain in her memory for a long time if you saw her once.

She wore a white robe that matched her white skin, and a wizard’s hat on her head.

… Maybe it was a thousand years ago, so the wizard’s hat was a bit old-fashioned. If you wore a big witch hat like that in the current system, you would be teased as an idiot.

“Probably- you can see all the figures here. If your descendants excel.”

Delrin’s voice was so calm that she couldn’t hear it even if there was a little bit of noise around her.

“Byeokan is a unique feature of our house, isn’t it?”

“… That’s right. Blonde hair and dark skin are the characteristics and unique characteristics that all Windsors have had.”

“No way.”

Ruid’s eyes widened.

“Great-grandmother?”

“… ….”

Victoria was dumbfounded and rubbed Louis’ cheek.

Ruid looked in front of her with one eye in her eyes.

“Etch.”

Delrin sniffed her nose as she sneezed.

“Hmm? Did you catch a cold?”

“No. I don’t know. Rather, go ahead. Even with the help of the dragon heart, it takes a lot of magical power to maintain this magic. I don’t know how strong your offspring will be, but it will soon be the limit. “

“Louis. Are you consuming mana?”

“Yes, but it’s like a rat’s tail.”

“I see.”

Victoria replied nonchalantly.

The Emperor listened to Delrin’s advice and nodded her head earnestly.

“I’d like to give you a better compliment, but it seems like I don’t have much time. Let’s get straight to the point.”

“The blue heart next to my corpse is a thing called a dragon heart.”

“I don’t know if there are still dragons there… Probably not. Because this heart is the heart of the last remaining dragon.”

“This dragon’s heart has two effects.”

“First, putting this heart into a corpse can bring the dead back to life.”

‘Wow… There were dragons in this world too.’

Ruid couldn’t take her eyes off the dragon heart.

But when she was told that she could raise the dead, she wasn’t surprised.

It also exists in similar objects in the original work, and above all, it is a symbol of fantasy. If it was Dragon Heart, wouldn’t that be enough?

The Emperor continued.

“Second, if you transplant this heart, you can get ‘eternal life’ in your hands. It’s not exactly eternal life, but it can secure a lifespan of about 10,000 years. That would be it.”

The emperor laughed mischievously.

“Since it was the tomb left by the first emperor, you would have expected various goods, but unfortunately this is all. But this one heart will be worth more than any other commodity.”

“You are free to use it however you like. I, who died a thousand years ago, cannot interfere. But please.”

There was earnestness in the emperor’s eyes.

It was an intense energy that I had never felt from any other human being.

“I want to see if my empire has been successful.”

“I am curious about the words of the country that was founded by dedicating one’s life to my colleagues.”

“A thousand years would be enough time to know.”

“But at the same time I am afraid.”

This time, I became a human who seemed infinitely weak.

The Emperor trembled as if he was genuinely afraid of it.

Muttered as he looked at his trembling hands.

“The system I thought was the best, the structure…… Maybe it wasn’t the right answer.”

“So, I order you. Descendants.”

The emperor rose from his seat and waved his hand.

“If this empire has achieved peace and prosperity, use that heart for the well-being of the empire.”

“If you think that what I have achieved is not right in the slightest, with that heart, ‘Save me.'”

“The reason for saving me is simple. If it is my mistake, I will correct myself.”

“This is all I have to say. Descendants.”

‘Isn’t that just saying live?’

Ruid, who was personally dissatisfied with the system of the first emperor, had no choice but to think that way.

How frustrating and pissed off you have been all this time. However, I thought it was great that he, who would have been an ordinary citizen of the Republic of Korea, established an empire and realized various policies.

‘If it were me…… ‘

I got goosebumps because just thinking about it was difficult and annoying.

“This is it. More than this, if you are a ‘human’, magic cannot allow it.”

Delrin waved her magical hand in the air.

“That?”

“I forcibly disconnected just in case.”

But nothing happened to Ruid.

“Huh?”

“… It’s strange. That Delrin, he just sprayed mana into the air. I didn’t use any magic.”

Victoria raised the corners of her mouth.

“Isn’t that proof that Louis is a greater wizard than Delrin?”

“… ….”

It’s not like that. Really, Delrin didn’t use any magic. Didn’t even try to do that.

In other words, she was lying about cutting the connection.

But then-

“Phew- It was hard to hold the weight. Delrin. How was it? Was it a bit like an emperor?”

“… !”

The emperor’s tone changed.

Before, I still smelled of the ruler, but now I can’t see anything like that.

“… Not really.”

“I can’t be honest.”

The emperor ate and laughed.

He went to Delrin and stroked her hair.

“Rather than that, Delrin. Sooner or later, you too will have to leave a descendant.”

“… ….”

“Stop giving in now. Probably- I don’t think there’s much left.”

Delrin clenched her teeth.

‘What do you mean there’s not much left?’

There was a strange smell. Louis narrowed her eyes.

“Well, it’s true that you have to act like that to taste conquering. Don’t worry. Because I still say that I will not use the ‘ruling command’ to lay you on the bed.”

Victoria, who was observing the situation, said with a firm face.

“The command of command is the power of the first emperor. According to oral tradition, it is said to be a powerful force that can bring even the gods to their knees. Looking at the situation, it seems that Delrin is being ruled by the first emperor.”

‘…… There are all these scams.’

Ruid’s eyes trembled.

So, Delrin…….

“I want you to ‘want’ to be placed under me. That way, I think you’ll be satisfied.”

The emperor smiled sinisterly and brushed the nape of Delrin’s neck.

“Unpleasant, the truth.”

Victoria looked at the Emperor with her eyes, her eyes sunk low.

“It’s colder than usual, isn’t it? Ah, could it be because you killed your beloved dragon? But, is it your fault? Because he said he would save me if I quietly spread my legs. This is what you brought on yourself, Delrin.”

Red blood flowed from Delrin’s mouth.

The emperor laughed at Delrin for a long time, holding the dragon heart in his hand. Soon after, he left the place with the dragon heart in his arms.

“Woo-wook.”

“Louis.”

Louise vomited and covered her mouth. It was so dirty, it hurt my stomach.

Left alone, Delrin spoke clearly.

“There’s no way a descendant born with your petty talents will realize the 5th magic even for a moment. It’s self-consciousness. It is not your descendants who can come to this space.”

Delrin caressed her own stomach.

“A blessed child who inherited his and my blood.”

Delrin raised her head.

He looked exactly in the direction where Ruid and Victoria were.

As you can see, they approached without hesitation.

“The Duke of Windsor. It’s you guys.”

Ruid gave a blank look at Delrin’s unexpected words.

“You Windsor family settled in the north, and the empire must have enjoyed peace and prosperity for a thousand years under the protection of Windsor. That’s all I arranged.”

Ruid was extremely confused. She

She didn’t know. There was no mention of this in the original novel.

“Sometimes you must have thought it was harsh. Unlike the imperials under the warm sunlight, why do I have to suffer for an endless amount of time in this cold place?”

Delrin put on a sad expression. She whispered as she caressed her belly.

“I’m sorry. Because of my personal revenge, me who made this choice. If you can’t forgive me, so be it. Resent and hate it to the fullest. But if- if not.”

Delrin closed her eyes for a moment and opened them.

“The descendant of the blue dragon, and my descendant.”

“As your ancestor, I will ask you.”

Delrin said with strong disgust.

“Destroy the empire. Not even a drop of grass is left behind, everything. Let the legacy of that foolish and filthy man be wiped out without a trace in the world. If it is your power that I have inherited, it will be more than sufficient.”
