A Dragonslayer’s Peerless Regression – 532



Episode 532

Zeke furrowed his brows as he listened to Baron’s words.

Because it was an unexpected report.

He looked at Baron and asked.

“There was some disturbing movement from Nirvana. What does that mean?”

Baron said as he handed the file he had brought to Zeke.

“This is a report written after observing Nirvana’s movements for six months on the black stage. Nirvana which had been quiet has been showing different movements in the past three months.”

Zeke quickly scanned the file Baron had handed over using the system to scan the entire contents.

Then the system analyzed the content and looked for any unusual points in recent trends.

In the meantime Zeke found one key word that would become the core of the file contents.

‘Golem.’

Zeke opened the file where the word appeared.

Then he read the contents carefully and tapped his knee with his finger.

After a while he raised his head and asked the Baron.

“Does that mean you’re making a battle golem in Nirvana?”

Baron nodded.

“In the past three months we have discovered that Nirvana has been purchasing large quantities of key materials that go into the core of the golem.”

Zeke understood what Baron meant when he said there had been disturbing movements on Nirvana’s part.

Nirvana which has a reputation as one of the three greatest transcendent families on the continent along with Drake Ishtar.

The Drakers have a knight stronger than any other family and Ishtar has a murderous mystic.

And Nirvana as a magical family is made up of numerous magicians and in fact it was the same with other kingdoms and magic towers.

However one of the reasons why Nirvana was able to become one of the three great transcendent families unlike other magic groups was the ‘golem production technology’.

Battle Mage holds the most strategically important position on the battlefield.

However in order for battle mages to fully exert their power they need knights to block enemy attacks.

That’s why in a normal kingdom or magic tower the knights and magicians are run together and help each other.

Even in Delphi known as the nation of wizards they operated a separate order of knights for defense so this method was almost standard.

But Nirvana chose a different approach.

The idea was to create a large number of golems to replace the knights.

Originally golems were not very efficient compared to the effort required to make them.

Because it was slow and had limited movement for use in battle it could only serve as a moving wall in battles against knights using aura.

As the power of knights grew stronger with the development of the Aura training method golems were naturally eliminated and the form of using both magicians and knights together became commonly used.

But the wizards of Nirvana could not tolerate this trend of the times.

They developed and developed the core of the golem.

Eventually they succeeded in improving efficiency and creating a golem core that could be mass-produced.

The golems of Nirvana first showed their true colors three hundred years ago when the kingdoms were divided after the fall of the Holy Empire and the era of warlords began.

The Nirvana family no different from a group of wizards were the target of every kingdom.

Among them there were those who tried to subdue Nirvana by force.

However all of those who did so without exception were defeated and had to return without even being able to properly set foot on the land of Aten.

This was because they could not break through the defense line created by Nirvana’s golems and battle wizards.

Unlike normal golems Nirvana’s golems were fast strong and had an efficient structure.

Each body part was assembled so that if something broke just the part in question could be removed and replaced allowing it to be used again immediately.

It was an improvement of the golem which had been discarded for its low efficiency into an excellent war weapon.

In this way Nirvana was able to protect her family even in times of chaos.

Three hundred years later Nirvana’s golem technology has become even more advanced.

Zeke also remembered seeing an automatic golem at the central branch of Nirvana.

It was clear that the power of golems which could judge the situation and move on their own without the wizard’s orders would be doubled if they were put on the battlefield.

This was why Baron sent Zeke a report on the situation stating that Nirvana had purchased a large quantity of parts to go into the Golem.

He said looking at the Baron.

“Do you think Nirvana is preparing for war?”

Baron nodded to Zeke’s question.

“It looks that way given the circumstances.”

“It could be that they are being made to build a defensive line against attacks by the Demon Tribe.”

“Of course that could be the case. However we must keep in mind the possibility that Nirvana could invade the continent with golems.”

Zeke said looking at Baron.

“Baron in conclusion just tell me what your opinion is.”

He slowly opened his mouth looking at Zeke with sunken eyes.

“The power of Nirvana must be disarmed.”

Zeke furrowed his brows at Baron’s words.

“Does this mean we should strike Nirvana first?”

Baron shook his head at Zeke’s answer.

“If it is revealed to the outside the damage to our side could be greater. Since the core of Nirvana is Golem it would be effective just to pressure the factories and companies that produce key materials to prevent them from making nukes.”

At Baron’s words Zeke fell silent for a moment lost in thought.

‘Is this Arthur Draker’s way?’

Not by waging direct war but by pressuring them from behind the scenes to cause them to self-destruct.

This is exactly how Arthur Draker ruled the Central Continent.

The Baron was the sword best suited to Arthur Draker’s dark and meticulous combat.

Now that he had decided to serve Zeke as his lord instead of Arthur it seemed he had come to offer him the methods he had been using.

Zeke looked up and asked Baron.

“Baron what do you think the previous lord would have done?”

Baron answered that without hesitation.

“As soon as you reviewed the report you would have ordered me to bring you a list of the companies involved.”

“…Yeah I guess so.”

Arthur Draker was such a man.

Zeke looked at Baron and slowly opened his mouth.

“My father may have been like that but I am not Baron. I will contact Nirvana myself so don’t make any hasty moves.”

At Zeke’s words Baron nodded his head steadily and spoke with an expression that remained completely unchanged.

“Understood my lord. Is there anything else you need?”

“there is.”

He looked straight at the Baron.

“Arthur Draker.”

Zeke continued speaking locking eyes with Baron.

“I want to know about the previous owner. And also about his relationship with his mother.”

The relationship between Arthur Draker and Laura Agamemnon.

Perhaps Baron would know what was going on between the two of them.

Zeke woke up with a start watching Baron’s reaction.

Surprisingly Baron was completely unmoved by Zeke’s questions.

Even Zeke who possessed the status of a transcendent being was unable to read Baron’s emotional changes.

Baron bowed his head directly towards Zeke.

“I will follow your orders my lord.”

“Report as soon as information is collected.”

Baron nodded at Zeke’s words bowed politely and left the room.

Zig left alone in the room stared at the spot where Baron had been with his hands clenched.

‘Baron Draker. I find this just as difficult to understand as Arthur.’

It seemed necessary to have Boris and Shadia conduct a separate investigation into Baron as well.

Zeke pushed away his thoughts about Baron and turned his thoughts towards the Golem of Nirvana.

‘Mass production of golems.’

Recently large-scale attacks by monsters and demons have become more frequent so it seems that Nirvana is also preparing defensive measures in preparation for attacks by demons.

But as Baron said I thought it would be necessary to find out in advance just in case.

‘I should try contacting Nirvana through Zeros.’

* * *

The next day Zeros came up to the office where Zeke was.

It was a direct answer to Zeke’s instructions to find out about golem production.

Zeros spoke to Zeke with a slightly worried expression.

“My lord I found out through my teacher that it is indeed a measure to prepare for monster attacks.”

Zeke noticed something subtle in Zeros’ answer.

“So then there’s something else going on here.”

Zeke furrowed his brows at the thought that perhaps Nirvana was producing battle golems to invade other territories as Baron had said.

But Zeros’ answer was completely unexpected.

“That is… the head of the household suddenly returned to the family and said he had seen the future and insisted on producing a thousand golems.”

Zeke frowned even more than before at Zeros’ answer.

“…I see Master Jorge has returned. But does that make sense? No matter how much you tell him to go things in the family won’t go that way.”

“Yes I know how that sounds. In other families it would be outrageous but in Nirvana it is possible.”

It is a Nirvana where one can become a member of a family through a qualification test not through a family tied by blood.

You might think that it was a family of bean curds filled with magic-crazed freaks but the reason that it was able to last for hundreds of years was because they listened to the head of the family’s words thoroughly.

Zeke recalled memories from his past life.

‘Come to think of it it seems like something happened when the Nirvana family reappeared.’

He calmly recalled the events of his past life and remembered one thing.

‘Master Jorge the head of Nirvana formed the 9th Circle.’

When you reach the 9th circle you are given the title of Grand Mage.

Although Hoshigar had surpassed the 9th circle and attained the status of a transcendent being he had already ascended to the level of a Uwahdengsen and in the phenomenal world a 9th circle magician was enough to be ranked among the strongest.

‘But isn’t it time for that yet?’

In his previous life Master Jorge reached the 9th Circle four years later.

I thought that since Zeke had regressed and history had changed the time he achieved the 9th Circle had also come earlier.

“The head of Nirvana said he would create a thousand golems to prepare for the future.”

“There is a heated reaction even within the family but since it is the head of the household’s decision everyone seems to be following it.”

Although it was not desirable the fact that he decided to create a thousand golems when told to do so was a demonstration of Nirvana’s power.

As he thought about it for a moment Zeros came closer to Zeke and whispered to him.

“My lord but the Master asked me separately if the Fairy Stone could be used a little better.”

“You’ve already used up all that?”

“For wizards the concept of quantity does not apply to fairy stones. There are only two outcomes: either there is one or there is not one.”

Zeros sighed and continued.

“Since the fairy stone is essential for the golem’s core it seems like everything I had was taken away. I was sweating profusely trying to stop the master from going wild.”

Zeke listened to Zeros’ words thought deeply and then opened his mouth.

“Tell Zeros Antonio that I will be giving you double the amount of fairy stones you were delivering before this quarter.”

Zeros cheered at Zeke’s words.

“There is just one condition.”

“What are the conditions?”

Zick said with a gleam in his eyes.

“Convey the request to Nirvana to also send a representative to attend this continental general meeting.”

Zeros rolled his eyes here and there in confusion at Zeke’s words.

“Attending the first general meeting…”

The only meeting attended by the magicians of Nirvana was the family head election ceremony held once every five years.

Since most of them are busy with their own research they would rather not go to other meetings than die.

Zeke snickered as he watched Zero looking embarrassed.

“Let it be known that the delegates attending Nirvana will be loaned a newly developed ultra-density magic analyzer free of charge for one year.”

The Ultra-Density Magic Analyzer was a magical experimental device created by Hades and Paynean Gelion through a joint effort.

It was officially announced to the Magic Society a while ago and since its performance is far superior to existing magic analyzers and the area in which it can be experimented is wide all magicians are coveting it.

The offer of one of only two precious experimental devices on the continent free of charge for a year was a very attractive offer to the wizard.

Zeros opened his eyes wide in surprise then nodded with a determined expression.

“I will definitely try to persuade you no matter what.”

“Yes Zeros. You’re strong.”

And the next day Zeke received news that Master Jorge the head of Nirvana was attending the Continental Congress.
