Chapter 193 – 193. Twisted Flow
“Hmm… Being the main character…”
In order to have an important conversation, the training of the Armitas Knights was temporarily suspended, and the three moved to the dungeon house and talked at the table in the living room.
The house inside the dungeon, where no one could interfere, was the best place to have a private conversation.
Eunhyeon muttered while chewing on the keyword YuRia suggested.
“Princess. By the main character, who do you mean?”
“What. Didn’t you come after hearing from the princess?”
Since Eunhyeon knew that Alex had gone to Pernin to pick up Yuria, she only thought that she had already figured out her circumstances.
“Because I know that it is you, not me, who can provide a concrete solution to the princess’s story in this matter. I was thinking of listening to it together without the princess having to explain it twice.”
“That again…”
A very realistic idea.
For Alex, who has private feelings for Princess Yuria to rely on him, it might be very difficult to clearly distinguish between her public and private affairs, but Eun-hyun made a surprised expression at the way she acted by drawing a line. .
“The main character…”
Yuria put on an expression contemplating whether to really release this information or not.
She soon realizes that she has nothing to gain from hiding from them, and she makes up her mind to open her mouth.
“The ‘future poetry’ I saw is the flow of a huge story.”
“Flow… Is it?”
YuRia nodded her head.
While doing so, she tells the story in a way that makes it as easy as possible to understand the knowledge of her web novels that she read on Earth in her previous life, or the flow of the great fate of this world.
“Yes. Like a story contained in a book, it is a large stem containing all the endings from the beginning to the end. In this story, there is a role of a ‘protagonist’ who leads the whole story.”
“… Who is the main character?”
“The name is ‘Cha Han-seong’. They are descendants of ancient people with black hair and black eyes.”
“Ancient…”
Alex glanced at Eun-hyeon, who was known to be a descendant of the same ancient people.
Come to think of it, a strangely unusual name that doesn’t seem like a continent of Arcena is a common part with Eunhyun.
It was correct to say that they were ancient people themselves rather than descendants of ancient people, but as long as it was not known externally that they were over 400 years old, they knew that Eun-hyeon was using the setting of being a descendant of ancient people to avoid trouble, so I was very concerned. Didn’t write
“But are you saying that the main character, the descendant of the ancients, has not been revealed until now?”
“… It’s pretty easy to believe. I am… I thought you would dismiss this absurd story as nonsense like a future poem.”
Yuria made a surprised expression at Alex’s reaction, which she believed so simply.
Alex smiled bitterly, thinking of himself for being able to easily believe such nonsense.
‘Stories about the existence of God are also coming and going, so what else can I not believe is a future poem?’
It was also part of what I was thinking about.
Besides, among the reasons why Alex wants to believe YuRia’s words, the reason mixed with his own selfishness has a bigger role.
“Didn’t I tell you before? No matter how absurd the story may be, I will not ridicule the princess’s words or dismiss them as lies.”
Just like before, Yuria slightly flinched at Alex’s gaze, who was showing her determination, and then avoided her gaze and blushed.
“Oh, thank you…”
“…”
Eun-hyeon put on a trembling expression and wondered for a moment whether she should break the atmosphere or throw it away.
He sighed and returned to the original flow of the story.
“To sum up, in the words of the princess, there is a person at the center of the flow of the world’s destiny, and the descendant of an ancient man named Cha Han-seong, who corresponds to the role of the main character, has not yet appeared. Are you saying this?”
“Yes.”
“I was curious before. What is the difference between the current situation on the continent and the future that the princess knows?”
“That’s kind of… There are many.”
“Try to explain everything, starting with one.”
“Ha… Therefore…”
The story in the web novel that YuRia originally read, ‘Merhen Pioneering Destiny’ is like this.
A typical story in which a young man named Cha Han-seong, who inherited the blood of an ancient man, with dark hair and black eyes, starts an adventurer, gradually gaining experience, growing up, and becoming a hero as he makes his name known to the continent.
“Little by little, I play an active part in the adventurer’s guild, solve big cases, and get acquainted with the nobles of Pernias, and after a while, ‘the incident’ happens.”
“That incident?”
“An incident in which Erin Hersha, who awakened the power of the divine beast, became a nine-tailed fox and turned the entire capital of Pernin into a sea of fire.”
“Ah.”
Alex let out a small sigh.
“As the protagonist accidentally encounters a nine-tailed fox that was attacking people, the protagonist gets caught up in the incident and receives a reward directly from the queen for making the greatest contribution to solving the case. At this point, the first noble to make a close friendship with the protagonist is none other than Alex, you.”
“… You mean that?”
“Yes. In this case, it was the duke’s family and Alex who greatly helped the main character defeat the nine-tailed fox.”
“I have a question for you. In the future poem that the princess knows, the duke’s family, does Ashton retain his position as a minor duke without being deprived of his position?”
Eunhyeon, who was suspicious, asked.
“No. Not only Ashton, but the ducal family itself will decline later.”
“… Please elaborate.”
Alex hardened his face at YuRia’s words and demanded a detailed explanation.
It was all the more important because it was a story that depended on the fate of the future of his family.
“With the capital burning down, the Kingdom of Pernias faces a very gloomy situation. Afterwards…”
Events such as the case of the necromancer attacking the people of the kingdom and creating chimera beasts, the case of Eleanor getting married to Priest Bark of the Temple of Vesta through an arranged marriage, etc. He felt responsible for failing to prevent the damage and voluntarily resigned from the post of military minister.
“As the kingdom’s national power itself weakens, the area that suffered the most damage is the military sector.”
It is the result that the nobility of the kingdom all blamed Abros, who was the commander of the military power, and avoided responsibility for causing great loss of life in the fight against the divine beast, the nine-tailed fox, and the war between the necromancer and the Chimera Demon Beast Corps. .
It is all the more incomprehensible that in the web novel that Yuria read, there was no mention of Ashton’s corruption of breach of trust.
“It really sucks. Won’t this country perish?”
Eun-hyeon smiled and asked at the behavior of the aristocrats, who did something tantamount to cutting and eating the flesh of their own country even though it had reached that point.
“I didn’t even see the future city I saw until the end of the story… Until then…”
After all, Eun-hyeon nodded her head, understanding that it meant that she hadn’t read the original web novel set on this continent to the end, even on Earth.
In the end, even if there were parts that could be referenced in Yuria’s future poem, it was regrettable that it wasn’t much help.
“So you came because you felt strange and wanted to consult.”
“Yes. In my future poetry… Eunhyun, because you didn’t exist.”
It was not the nine-tailed fox that saved Erin and attacked Pernin, but the devil.
He was able to detect the presence of the necromancer at a slightly earlier time and deal with the Chimera Demon Beasts.
Through an arranged marriage, Eleanor excommunicated a high-ranking official from the temple who was about to be sold.
All of them were a series of twisted events due to Eun-hyeon’s intervention, but there were also unscheduled events as a result.
Like the case where Eleanor was kidnapped and almost raped, or the case where the entire ducal family was almost destroyed due to Ashton’s rebellion.
In addition, the drug distribution incident that took place this time was also an incident that did not appear at all in Yuria’s future poetry.
Yuria secretly visited the dukedom to consult with Alex and Eunhyeon, feeling uneasy about the situation in her kingdom or the flow of her story not going according to the flow of the future she had seen.
“Hmm.”
After thinking about it for a while, Eun-hyeon went into the room, took out a crystal ball, and activated it using magic.
– What’s going on?
“Find one person. My name is Hansung Cha. Distinctive features are black hair and black eyes. I’m a man, my age…”
Glancing at Yuria, Yuria, who had a surprised expression at the existence of a communication artifact she had never seen before, hurriedly opened her mouth.
“2, early 20s.”
“You’re in your early 20s.”
– Are they descendants of ancient people like you?
“Okay. And there is a high probability that he is an adventurer.”
– … I get it.
As soon as she finished her business, with her telecommunications disconnecting, Yuria jumped up from her chair and asked her Eun-hyeon.
“What is that?”
“This is the communication artifact I made this time.”
“That’s completely wireless… Whoa, no…”
Yuria, who knew that she had been recreating various cultural artifacts of the Earth from showers to large public baths, she gave up asking questions because she was too lazy to say anything.
“Was the opponent Black Wand?”
“Uh.”
“Right.”
“The duke’s family… Aren’t you going to kill Black Wand? Anyway, it’s a guild that tried to bring down the duke’s family by cooperating with the nobles of the royal party faction… ?”
“I took my life, but I just hugged it. Now I think I am paying a fair price for it.”
Alex laughed bitterly and answered Yuria’s question.
In fact, Heilangdan, who had his teeth on the family, was treated under Eunhyeon, close to harsh labor exploitation.
The people of Heilangdan, who received only the minimum necessary expenses for information collection and did not receive a separate salary, were dedicating the information collected through almost free labor to Eun-hyeon.
That was the punishment that Eunhyeon and Abros came to a conclusion while thinking together.
In the first place, there was no reason for Abros to reject Eun-hyun’s proposal, as he was in a position to take responsibility for the divisions that started from not being able to cut off his son Ashton ruthlessly.
“Okay.”
She said that she was convinced by that, but YuRia didn’t speak any further.
“I will also investigate the man named Cha Han-seong that the princess mentioned.”
“Yes.”
“Princess. What are your plans for the future?”
“I plan to return to the palace in about three days. Until then, I want to meet Master after a long time and get advice on magic training.”
“Okay.”
When the conversation was over to some extent, Emilia came up the stairs leading downstairs.
“Master.”
“Huh?”
“I am ready.”
“Oh yeah?”
Eunhyun smiled and stood up from her seat.
“Well, since you’re just here, let’s take a look. Alex, come along. Because I was going to show it to you one day.”
“Hmm? I will.”
Yuria, who was listening to the conversation between the two, asked with a puzzled look on her face.
“What is finished?”
“Recently, it seems that Eunhyun has been making things here and there again.”
“What else… ?”
“Would you like to follow me?”
“…”
Seeing Yuria’s suspicious expression, Eunhyeon smiled and said,
“If you are the princess, you will probably find out what it is.”
“… What else did you make?”
I waited for Eunhyeon’s answer, thinking that I wouldn’t be surprised no matter what she brought, and finally Eunhyeon replied with an unusually happy expression.
“It’s a golem. Her name was ‘Optimus’. It’s one of the dreams of a man that I always wanted to make one day.”
“This Mi X guy?”
