Chapter 1098 – Prelude to War
Inside the grand mansion.
Gold, who became the head of the Hart family, met a man on business. I had just finished talking and was shaking hands with a man as I got up from my seat.
“Thank you again. Prince. My older brother also asked me to thank you for the directing you cared about.”
“It’s an infinite honor. It’s very unfortunate that the item was returned.”
A handsome man with light blue hair and striking narrow eyes. Barzak Haugina, Prince of Haugina and representative of Haugina commerce, grinned.
“But I’m a bit puzzled. Why did you suddenly accept a request from our teenage family?”
Haugina. ‘Nara’ has great skills and skills in directing.
Haugina only bows down compared to the teenage families. It had an influence that was recognized wherever it went, and also had a familiar image with citizens.
Commerce they run. Production. Events are loved not only by the common people but also by the aristocracy.
Those who won the hearts of the people.
It is a country that even a teenage family would like to get close to.
But the current king. Haugina, 44, was told that he was extremely reluctant to associate with his teenage family.
But now, when permission to take out goods is not enough, why is he sending the prince directly to Sers to make friends?
Gold was very suspicious of the man in front of him.
He had feelings of his own. More than anything, it was because that older brother had said this right before his love.
‘Remove the haugina items.’
Dre was in charge of directing the event with Mei-Chi. Of course, he also borrowed a lot of items from Haugina, a master of directing.
But Dre insisted on removing the item.
‘My older brother’s sense is so accurate that it gives goosebumps.’
There must be something about this man. He couldn’t get hold of anything.
I’ve never met the 44-year-old current king. The prince in front of me already had a dignity and atmosphere that exceeded that of a king.
What’s up with you?
Barzac replied calmly.
“Haha. I just thought I had to follow the trend of the times.”
“It’s time…”
But. Not to mention the teenage family, the name of the ‘next Prunar’, the sword of mad flames, is very high.
The forces known in this world are close to him, and those who are not familiar with him are crawling on their own.
I know how to do it.
Who would have thought that the mighty Calzabog Empire would perish at the hands of a single man?
As well as brute force, a unique Ryunar. And he is also a creator who will remain in the myth by making the ‘artifact’ that recently made the world go wild.
Haugina’s nature is more like a merchant like the Hart family.
Dre is a lump of money no matter how you look at it.
He would say that as a merchant, you cannot miss an opportunity to make money.
“Father’s opposition was fierce, but if you’re stubborn and fall behind the times, then it’s too late.”
“Hmm…”
Tiredness and trouble could be seen on the face of the man who came to Sers even in defiance of his stubborn father’s will.
‘Come to think of it, did the king say he didn’t like Prince Barzak?’
Perhaps. His current position may be unstable.
That’s why he might be trying to solidify his position by meeting Dre and forming a friendship.
If that’s the case, you’re probably in a hurry, but you’re not asking to meet your older brother right away, are you trying to prove your skills first?
The attitude was frankly likable.
On the other hand. I wonder if these likable actions are ‘directing’.
‘You’ll be able to judge later. First of all, the most important thing.’
The man in front of him acknowledged his brother.
Gold vigorously shook his hand again.
“I agree with what the prince said. Please take good care of me in the future.”
“I really appreciate you, my lord.”
Bar bent over his waist and saw Gold off to the front of the small door.
As the Hart family carriage disappeared into the distance, Barzak took out his handkerchief from his bosom and wiped his hands that had touched his gold.
“I see. He’s a man with good senses in many ways.”
He laughed, saying it was nice to meet him, and found a man standing awkwardly by the door.
“You are…”
A man with an uneasy face with an impressive sparse beard.
For sure. He is a ‘arrangement book’ and a man who has ‘recommended’ people.
But…
“…Hmm?”
He seemed to see something shimmering beside him.
That…
“Hey. Langpaewee.”
Swoop.
The shimmering space disappeared and a man appeared.
It was intangible.
“Do you really think that a man like this can kill eight days?”
“Oh. Ahahaha!”
Barzak clapped his hands and closed the distance to Intangible.
“Yaah. Mr. Langpaewee. Did you really conciliate him?”
Muhyeong glanced at Barzak, who had come closer, and saw Langpaewee.
Lang Fawey shrugged his shoulders and gestured to trust my eyes.
Muhyeong trusts Langpaewee, but. He was very curious this time.
This bastard. He might have been a guy who hid his skills, but no matter how you look at it, he was nothing more than a common man.
‘Did I have some strong subordinates?’
No matter how strong his men are, they’ll be as good as Dre?
The current Dre is strong.
The force has grown to the point that no one among humans can touch it.
There was no way there were guys who could kill Dre like that, but I came to see what kind of guys they were who still showed spirit…
‘It’s bland.’
Take a look at what kind of guys they are. I was thinking of testing my skills, but my mind went blank.
Muhyung thought about going back and having a drink.
Then Barzak held out his hand and asked for a handshake.
“Nice to meet you. Mage Killer. My name is Barzak from Haugina.”
“That’s right. Swear at me then.”
Muhyeong turned his back, and Lang Pawei was taken aback.
“Intangible…!”
“Langpaewei. Your eyes are rusty too. Let’s go get a drink…”
“Of course.”
At Barzak’s loud voice, the intangible turned around again.
“There’s no way someone like that could kill eight days. I know my way well.”
“…”
“I’m just an auxiliary agent.”
Barzak grinned and pointed his finger at the floor.
“Aren’t you curious? Something to kill the eighth that even brother-in-law wants to kill.”
“…”
The intangible silently stuck his hand into his pocket and gestured to guide him with a nod of his chin.
While Lang Pawee was restless at the sight of the prince, Barzak smiled rather happily and politely extended his arm to tell him to go inside the mansion.
“Come on. Please go in.”
The intangible moved his steps straight away without answering.
Barzak, who stopped Langpaewei from following him, followed in the intangible’s back.
Barzac’s steps were light.
He went down the stairs, not the cellar door at the end of the stairs, but tapping the wall opposite. To talk. He tapped at regular intervals.
Kurrureuk.
A crack in the wall revealed a hidden underground door.
“Ha ha. Isn’t that a good direction that makes your heart beat?”
“…”
It’s directing
It is not an easy word to use in everyday life.
Muhyeong knew at least that Haugina was a country that excelled in directing.
Since he is the prince of such a country, he must be proud of his directing.
“Go down.”
The basement was deep.
I walked slowly, but it took about 10 minutes.
“It’s filthy dark.”
“Haha.”
Mate.
Barzak clapped his hands.
Pod! Papapat! Papa papa papa!
Lights came on from all sides, and the dark basement became bright.
The intangible widened his eyes.
The cellar was very deep and wide.
And those that the lighting accentuates its appearance…
“Giant…?”
“Exactly, it’s an ancient golem. Do you know a stranger clan called the main branch?”
Can’t know
Because he was the one who contributed to the destruction.
“The head shop went bankrupt not too long ago. And that was one of the head office’s secret weapons. It’s a very powerful weapon, so the president of the head office tried to steal it secretly even while the clan was in ruin. But it failed and ‘wasted’… It was picked up by me.”
“…”
A gigantic giant golem indeed. It looked very powerful.
Even with just one of them, it is enough to deal with the armies of many countries.
‘It’s not enough.’
The intangible smiled secretly.
It’s a powerful golem, though. That alone can’t help Dre.
Also not with these guys.
It’s me who kills him.
“Come on. Go up.”
Barzac’s expression was full of composure and confidence.
He seemed to think that the intangible would be surprised to see this scene.
Intangible pretended to be slightly surprised.
Even after that, Barzak gathered in secret spaces hidden throughout the mansion, powerful magical weapons far beyond the legal limits. A poison that could be spread across a country. Bombs, etc. Several weapons were shown.
‘Hahang. He was full of confidence.’
But this prince is mistaken.
Of course, what we have shown so far is too much for a preparation to kill one person.
If the people Barzak was trying to kill were famous talented people, this level of preparation would have been enough.
However. It is absurdly insufficient for Yeodre.
‘He’s the one who misunderstood his power because he couldn’t see him in person.’
He only heard Dre’s rumors and didn’t fully realize the danger, so he felt that this was enough… Poor mistaken man.
Seeing that he had amassed this much strength, he was not incompetent, but he was overconfident.
At first, except for the giant golem in the vast basement, nothing seemed particularly dangerous.
‘Also. Is there anything dangerous He didn’t even have to come to check.’
The intangible, who had been thinking casually, hesitated and scratched his head nervously.
‘Shit. What are you going to see that’s dangerous? 나는 여드레 그 개새끼를 죽일 녀석들이 어떨지. If it’s a reasonable level, you’re here to cooperate? Didn’t that just look like I came here because I was worried about his back?’
Intangible reminded me again that I came here because I just wanted to kill eight people.
“How is it?”
Barzak smiled all over his face and said to the intangible.
He was even showing off his pride.
“Did you feel worth joining hands with me?”
“…Uh. Yeah. That’s great.”
The intangible answered roughly.
This guy is almost certain to die from being reverse-toured by Dre. He had no intention of stopping it.
“Haha. That’s good. Shall we talk over a cup of tea then?”
Intangible suddenly became curious about why the man in front of him was trying to kill Dre.
Of course, because of his personality, he would have a grudge wherever he went, but…
“…Yes. Just one drink.”
Come to think of it. Before. Langpaewee’s expression was very pale.
Perhaps this man had some weakness.
‘I’ll solve that and go.’
Intangible, who was following Barzak while thinking about how to scare this confident man, decided to start by answering questions.
“By the way, Mr. Why are you trying to kill Eidere?”
“That’s right. Aren’t you the kind of person who deserves to be killed?”
The answer came right away.
Intangible blinked his eyes.
“Ok?”
“He is a tyrant who disrupts the existing order in the name of justice and oppresses the world with force.”
Teenage crest. Suruta Empire. Five kingdoms. A man bearing the name of a hero is a giant that the world should keep an eye on.
“A human being who had no name just a year ago has suddenly become a tycoon who controls the world. Haha. Aren’t those in power angry?”
Barzak laughed, surprised at how many people in power didn’t like the powerful forces that had formed the coalition.
‘There are collaborators all over the world.’
It’s going to rain again.
Muhyung laughed at the thought of eight days of revenge.
“Think about it even if you look at it without power. The royal family of Calzabog. Count Silmoney and other criminal organizations. And the rotten nobles. No matter how evil they were, he was a man who openly tortured and slaughtered them as if to warn the world. The future Aren’t you afraid of what else to do?”
“…Well. That’s right.”
Intangible smiled and nodded.
It felt like my stomach was boiling for some reason.
“…Actually, it’s all an excuse. I have my own intentions.”
“Yes?”
At the sudden voice, the intangible narrowed his eyes.
“I just want to direct.”
“Production…?”
A word I’ve never heard before.
“Yes. I am. I live in this world for directing. Seeing the world transformed by my directing is my greatest pleasure.”
At the end of his words, Barzak wriggled his hands and looked up at the ceiling.
“A man like that. Under the circumstances I staged… When I think of the miserable death like a worm, alas…”
Barzak stretched out his hands upward as if imagining the scene, and his body trembled and trembled.
“Really… That would be the greatest pleasure…!”
“…”
This bastard is also pervert. Immortal sighed inwardly.
But. If it wasn’t pervert, who would even think about playing with Dre?
“I’m still in a good mood after I succeeded in directing to you. How about eight days?”
“How is it? It’ll make me feel bad…”
Widely.
The intangible stopped.
And. I just felt a sense of incongruity in what I said.
“Now…?”
Barzac also stopped.
He continued without looking back.
“The weapons you’ve seen so far are prepared by me. Now it’s time to meet my ‘applicant’.”
At the end of his words, Barzak looked back and smiled.
“How is it? My rendition of an ignorant misunderstood prince?”
Papa papa papa pat.
The space inside the mansion is changing.
What is creepy. That the intangible did not know that the inside had changed.
The intangible, who opened his eyes wide, broke into a cold sweat.
‘What. This.’
The energy is so intense… Seven.
Each one of them. It was so powerful that the intangible had to fight it with all its might.
And the one in the middle.
It had the power to the point where even intangibles felt like there was no answer.
That aura was felt very close.
Squeak.
The head of a woman with a crying face.
A sense of intimidation radiated from the black long-haired man who poured alcohol down his neck and gulped down.
The man in the suit had pale skin unlike normal humans, and was said to be very large.
And above all. That mighty spirit.
More powerful than the six I can feel…
‘This…’
Have ever felt
During the previous subjugation of Askatlov. The demon lord I tasted as an appetizer before fighting Dre.
He called himself the Demon King of Jin Purgatory. Although he managed to get rid of it with the Proclamation of the Mind Realm… The intangible never forgot about its existence.
If he wasn’t vigilant, he’d be the one who got hit, because Twiga, the Demon Lord of Distortion, was strong.
This guy is the same as him.
But… The power you feel…
‘Several times that guy. Or ten times? How much stronger is it?’
I couldn’t guess.
The man smirked and spoke to the stiff intangible.
“Hey. I’ve heard a lot from Mr. Langpaewee that there’s a natural assassin who’s aspiration is to kill Yeo-dee.”
The demon king of purgatory continued to speak to the silent intangible.
“Should I introduce myself first?”
Wiping the alcohol from his lips, he said his name.
“I belong to Jin Purgatory. My name is Arras, the Demon King of War. Please take good care of me.”
