#682. don’t pretend you don’t know

the silver age of the past.

A god who descended to earth.

In other words, the incarnations ruled the world with miracles.

And gave humans the power to defend themselves and prosper.

That power is magic.

It was a mystery that required a price, but if the price was sufficient, anything could be accomplished.

Instead, the gods set a taboo.

Anything that can be done with magic.

something you should never do.

The two are strictly separated and regulated.

Because I knew how dangerous it was that anything was possible.

But humans are stupid.

even though it is forbidden. Or rather, that’s why the enchanted broke the promise with the gods and willingly touched the taboo.

human sacrifice.

lion’s life.

Research on immortality, etc.

The most brutal mysterious black magic that goes against the providence of the world was born that way.

The Silver Age, of course.

Even after that, black magic was suppressed.

Even so, the warlock did not disappear and even created an association called the Dark Dawn.

Not only was the taboo alluring, but it was also because it made it much easier to obtain more powerful power than ordinary magic.

That’s why the witch’s magic that walks the border of taboo was created by referring to black magic.

But black magic is also magic.

Even if you can easily become stronger than a priest or a witch, you still need talent.

committing any taboo.

No matter how much magic you study.

Only a handful of geniuses could reach the level of a dark wizard.

So they were sure.

“Are you saying that the reason Brother Dmitri became the Dark Wizard was because he discovered the legacy of the Dark Dawn in this Gulag?”

“Because there is no other way to explain it.”

Lynn just said it.

Of course, it is clear that Dmitri had a talent.

However, none of the dark wizards were not geniuses, and even they needed years to decades of discipline.

No matter how gifted a genius is, the wall of the absolute class is not low enough to become a talent alone.

Even monarchs with absolute skills had to spend years clearing dungeons to reach level 100.

Of course, there wasn’t anything special about it.

What if Dmitri, who had only been in Gulag for a few months, had reached the level of a dark wizard during that time?

With a long life experience.

Lynn could say.

The only thing that can do that is black magic that goes against the providence.

Among them, only the legacy of the Dark Dawn, the essence of all dark magic.

“…that makes sense.”

“Is that what the revolutionary older brother thinks?”

“Gulag would have been the best place for Master Sergei to hide the legacy of the Dark Dawn.”

Bachemensky smiled bitterly.

Sergei hid his black magic until the very end.

If it became known that he was a black magician, he wouldn’t have received absolute support from the Revolutionary Army.

That’s why they must have needed a place where they could completely avoid the eyes of the government and the secret police as well as other revolutionary forces.

In that sense, Gulag was the perfect place.

“Because all facilities in Gulag are automated, there are many places that prisoners as well as prison guards do not know or cannot go to.”

“It’s the best place to catch the secret police or revolutionaries off guard, just like the counter-revolutionaries did.”

“The security is as thorough as that, but…”

Bachemensky’s words blurted out.

Lynn took it instead.

“The absolute class isn’t even strong enough to stop a determined dark wizard.”

As much as they were oppressed

not only in the light but also in the dark.

Warlocks developed a method of hiding themselves more thoroughly than anyone else, and that is why they survived the age of heroes.

Even more so, it was possible for a black mage to play tricks on Gulag.

Given all that.

It was clear that the legacy of the Dark Dawn was hidden in this Gulag.

One problem.

“…the question is how long will we find the legacy of the Dark Dawn in this expansive place?”

More than 100,000 prisoners alone.

Hundreds of labor factories.

Even various facilities such as prisons, warehouses, living quarters, and entertainment rooms.

How to find the artifacts of the Dark Dawn in this huge space the size of a city.

Lynn clicked her tongue.

“What kind of prison did you build so full?”

“It wasn’t me who built the Gulag.”

“Instead, you did a lot of expansion, didn’t you?”

“Yeah, admit it.”

Yekathrice smiled and nodded.

At least, it was true that the size of the gulag increased dramatically as she reigned as a dictator.

“At this point, should we transfer all the prisoners and push all the buildings and sights away? Then you will be able to find it wherever you hide it.”

“The World Federation guys will wait and see.”

“Ah, well, I’d like to do more than just make this place a battlefield.”

“First of all, remember that the worst is at the point of war.”

A swordsman following Rin.

Geomrang and Swordsman somewhere else.

Even those three sword masters were more than enough to overthrow the Russian Khanate.

Additional help may come.

In that case, the Russian Khanate would be devastated, and the whole world would be in chaos due to the war between the World Federation and the Seven Dragons.

“Well then, in the end, we have no choice but to find the traces of the little warlock.”

“Shouldn’t that normally be the first thing that comes to your mind?”

“That’s no fun.”

“done. As for the water, I am the backbone.”

When Limon sighs, humbly admitting that he had been mistaken in expecting this clever madman.

Yekathrice gave a strange smile.

“By the way, sister, do you really need to hurry?”

“Are you asking because you don’t know that?”

“huh. I don’t know.”

“Did you forget that if you can’t find the Dark Dawn Legacy, I’ll have to marry you?”

“I’m saying this because I haven’t forgotten.”

who is it all for

Despite Rin’s cold gaze, Yekathrice did not erase her smile.

As always, he pointed it out with a single smile.

“Because you don’t have to win this bet.”

“…what does that mean?”

“Don’t pretend you don’t know, there’s no way that unnie couldn’t have noticed this obvious thing, right?”

“….”

Maybe it was because he was stabbed in the middle.

Looking at Rin, who frowned.

Yekathrice put on a meaningful smile.

“For the sake of mankind, it is the best option for my sister to become the bride of that psycho.”

* * *

“Priestess. How is life in prison?”

“Don’t pretend to be friendly, it’s disgusting.”

“Isn’t what you say to the brother-in-law who sneaked all the way to Gulag to visit you too heartless?”

“If you don’t like it, get out.”

Looking at the handsome boy who snorted as if he had nothing to regret.

Billy scratched the back of his head.

Even though they came from the Sword Tower with the same name.

Adolf’s gaze, as if he were looking at bugs, was quite disrespectful, rather than being polite with his fellow brothers and sisters.

But what can I do?

I just couldn’t go back.

Billy finally opened his mouth while grumbling.

“I’ve been looking into the legacy of the Dark Dawn with Brother Pascal and the priest, but I haven’t found any clues yet.”

“To not be able to do such an easy job is, after all, a shame, and it deserves the death penalty.”

“Is it easy? How hard is it to gather information in this country while avoiding the eyes of the Silver Dragon clan?”

“Isn’t it easier than seducing the Meister?”

“…You shouldn’t hit it with facts.”

Billy raised the white flag.

No matter how tricky the Seven Dragons are. Compared to Adolf, who is trying

to infiltrate the Gulag alone and

seduce Limon… no, Rin and make her his woman, it was tantamount to eating peanuts.

That’s why Billy asked shyly.

“Looking at the priest speaking so confidently, the temptation seems to be going well, right?”

“No at all.”

“….”

“Think about it and say it. There’s no way someone as arrogant as Meister would change his mind just by sticking with him for a few days.”

“…”

“That’s why it’s worth tempting more.”

If Rin had easily passed over, he would have been rather disappointed.

Seeing Adolph happily talking, Billy made a subtle expression.

Should I say this is great?

Or should I say crazy.

It’s because he couldn’t tell the difference.

In the end, Billy, who made a reasonable judgment that he was very crazy, asks the question again.

“I’ve been wondering for a while, why did you make such a useless bet with Master?”

“A useless bet? this?”

Billy pointed out.

I don’t know if others

It was because anyone from the Tower of Swords had no choice but to know that there was a fatal loophole in Adolf’s bet with Rin.

“aha.”

Even if you don’t know that fact.

Of course I made this bet.

Adolf, who had been seducing Rin almost risking his life, made a strange expression at Billy’s point.

“Do you think Meister will kill me if I lose the bet?”

“What will happen?”

“Ahahahahaha!”

“…Why are you laughing?”

“No, I’m sure it’s crazy, because I thought it was a garbage idea worthy of the death penalty.”

what’s so funny

After laughing like crazy.

Adolf nodded with a single smile.

“Surely you can think of it that way. Meister is someone who will do anything to protect humanity.”

Through a bet with Lin.

Adolf asked to be his woman.

However, he did not include any conditions such as not harming himself or doing whatever he was told to do.

Then, no matter how precarious the situation was, I wouldn’t have accepted a bet like this.

In other words, even if Rin loses the bet, he has the option of killing Adolf.

Even couples fight with each other.

break up for various reasons.

It’s like there’s even a knife fight.

There was no reason why Rin couldn’t kill Adolf just because she became Adolf’s woman.

Especially in that he is serving as the sword of the World Federation because of his drunkenness.

So, if you try to hug Rin just because you won the bet, you will end up leaving the world on the first night.

That’s why I’m trying to seduce Rin now.

In that sense, it was only natural that Billy would evaluate the bet as useless.

“But even if I lose the bet, Meister won’t kill me.”

despite knowing that

Adolf was not worried.

Rather, it was just a meaningful smile.

“You couldn’t exactly do that.”

“…What does that mean?”

“Literally the death penalty.”

If Adolf wins the bet.

No matter how terribly I hate it.

Rin didn’t kill herself.

that he would give himself up obediently.

The handsome boy, who said it clearly, continued with a happy face.

“Unlike the idiots and idiots, I am a good disciple who has never been excommunicated by Meister and will never be.”

“Only that?”

“Not just.”

Of course, if that’s all.

I wouldn’t have been able to say that.

As the protector of mankind, it was the monster named Limon who would do anything to protect the world.

I hadn’t committed any crimes, so I didn’t know when and how I would lose my life if I thought it would be okay.

Even so, the reason that can be asserted that it can’t be.

Adolf said lightly.

“Because this isn’t the first time I’ve made a bet with Meister.”
