    Chapter 124

    Episode 124

    “Are you worried about the Four Kings?”

    The Norse nodded.

    “Yes, if we start an all-out war with Gold Cross, the ones who will be the happiest are the dark bastards of the Four Kings Castle.”

    The vassals kept their mouths shut.

    “No, maybe this outbreak of the Black Plague itself is part of the Four Kings’ plot. They want our Dark Maga and Gold Cross to fight and bleed.”

    It was a sharp guess.

    However, the guess was half right and half wrong.

    It was true that the ‘Curse Mark’ of the Four Kings intervened in this incident.

    But they only provided assistance, and the real mastermind was somewhere else.

    A background that no one could have imagined.

    That’s why Chris had to solve this problem.

    “…….”

    The room became quiet.

    It was a difficult problem.

    A situation where it is difficult to remain still, but it is also difficult to raise an army.

    At that moment, an unexpected voice rang out in the conference room.

    “I have a way.”

    It was Christian.

    Everyone looked surprised.

    “What method?”

    “It’s simple. Just find out who’s really behind this Black Death.”

    Everyone, including Nordian, had a disappointed look on their face.

    “Who doesn’t know that? It’s realistically impossible. Those damned bastards never leave a trace of themselves. They’re not called ‘the reapers on the silver screen’ for nothing.”

    Chris nodded.

    He also knew very well how detailed the curse was.

    but.

    “It doesn’t matter. This incident wasn’t something that the cursed demon did alone.”

    “…What do you mean?”

    “There is a story that there is an internal corruptor who cooperated with the Curse Maga within the Gold Cross. Otherwise, even if it is the Curse Maga, it would be impossible to unleash such a large curse. We just need to catch that corruptor.”

    “!!”

    It was a plausible story.

    But the problem still remained.

    “How do we catch that pervert? The Gold Cross is out of reach of our Dark Maga.”

    This was the fundamental reason why Dark Maga could not uncover this incident.

    But Chris offered a simple solution.

    “I will go to Gold Cross as an envoy representing Dark Maga.”

    “…what?”

    “Before going to war, we need to investigate the truth of this incident. Since the Gold Cross guys made their absurd claims first, they will not be able to refuse our request to investigate the truth.”

    The conference room was plunged into silence.

    After a while.

    “That’s ridiculous!”

    “This is an impossible story!”

    Sending an envoy to the Union guys wasn’t really a big deal.

    It’s not like the two sides aren’t talking at all.

    Especially in the run-up to such a war, there were frequent exchanges of envoys.

    However, it is extremely dangerous.

    “You can’t trust those Union guys. There’s a high chance something bad will happen!”

    There were countless instances of the Union, Madona, and those who came as envoys being beheaded.

    Anyone who went as an envoy had to risk his life.

    “Especially if Prince Christian himself goes…!!”

    “It’s okay because I’m going there myself.”

    “yes?”

    Christian said calmly.

    “No matter how thoughtless the Union bastards are, they won’t dare to cut off the neck of this body, who is considered a strong candidate for the next Dark Maga. So, there’s no need to worry too much.”

    The vassals kept their mouths shut.

    It wasn’t a wrong story, but how can the world go on according to principles?

    When I actually went there, I didn’t know what would happen.

    At that, the Norseman frowned and said.

    “Isn’t there any guarantee that you can reveal the background if you go as an envoy?”

    Christian nodded in agreement.

    “Your Majesty’s words are correct. Even if I go, there is absolutely no guarantee that the case will be solved.”

    “But why would you do something so reckless?”

    “Because it is something that must be done for the Dark Maga.”

    “!!”

    Christian said with a strong look in his eyes.

    “If we don’t do that, our Dark Maga will be manipulated by an unknown mastermind. As a descendant of the Dark Maga’s bloodline, and as someone who aspires to become the sole master of the Dark Maga in the future, I absolutely cannot tolerate this.”

    In an instant, the room became quiet.

    I was overwhelmed by Christian’s momentum.

    Unbelievable.

    Among those present, none of the Dark Maga’s executives were inferior to Christian.

    But how could she be overwhelmed by Christian, a young boy in his mid to late teens?

    ‘Indeed, Prince Christian.’

    Some were impressed, and Christian continued calmly.

    “Also, there is a reason why I have to go myself.”

    “What is it?”

    “Because I am the best person to solve this problem. No, in the Dark Maga, only I can solve this problem.”

    The Norse made a strange face.

    “Have you thought about it?”

    “Yes, that’s right. I can’t go into detail here though.”

    Chris answered with confidence in his voice.

    “Not only will I reveal the mastermind behind this, but I will also make the Golden Cross’s Pope bow down to our Dark Maga and apologize for this incident. So please leave it to me.”

    A crazy story that almost feels absurd.

    The Norse let out a low laugh.

    “Ha ha. You speak well. The Dharma King bows his head to our Dark Maga. If it really comes to pass as you say, it will be something that will go down in the history of our Dark Maga.”

    Dark Maga and Gold Cross fought countless times, but no one was able to make the Dharma King bow his head.

    “What do you think, Marquis? I think it’s not a bad idea.”

    “…….”

    “How about giving that kid some time? The military can be started later.”

    Whose opinion would disagree with that?

    The Marquis of Langham nodded and declared.

    “Christian, I appoint you as the representative of our Dark Maga. You have one month to reveal the masterminds behind those who insulted our Dark Maga. If you can do this, I will also recognize you as having passed your first test.”

    Conversely, if you fail, you will be considered to have failed the exam.

    Christian just nodded calmly.

    “all right.”

    like that.

    The first steps of Christian, who would later become an object of awe for all the Allied people, called ‘the light in the darkness’ and ‘the great darkness’, began.

    * ? ?* ? ?*

    Couldn’t set off right away.

    Since I was going as an envoy representing the Dark Maga, I needed to prepare.

    ‘This is the first break I’ve had in a while! I have a lot of hard work ahead of me, so I’m going to relax like the laziest person in the world for a few days!’

    As he was walking towards his room, holding on tight, an unexpected voice stopped him.

    “for a moment.”

    “Aunt?”

    “We have somewhere to go together. Come with me.”

    “…Are you perhaps the master of the house?”

    “Yes. I am waiting.”

    Christian frowned sharply.

    From the mood, it seemed like he was trying to teach something.

    ‘Damn. I just wanted to rest.’

    But it is impossible to reject the Norse teachings.

    ‘Ugh. When on earth will I ever get to rest?’

    I grumbled to myself, but it was pointless.

    “But didn’t you decide to receive instruction in the annex? Why in the main building?”

    “Today is not the day to teach, but rather there is some other business to attend to.”

    “??”

    We headed to the basement of the main mansion, and warehouses filled with treasures that the Dark Maga had accumulated over the generations appeared.

    But Marian didn’t stop walking.

    I stood before a huge mural depicting a battle between the devil and the constellations.

    ‘It’s not just a picture. It’s an artifact.’

    There were faint traces of magic throughout the painting.

    A clever cover-up that even Chris could notice if he looked closely.

    Dark magic stretched out from Marian’s hand and reacted with the spells on the mural.

    Woof.

    The painting rippled as if a drop of water had fallen on still water, and Marian stepped into the mural.

    “Follow me.”

    As we went in together, an amazing sight unfolded.

    A space shrouded in thick, dark fog appeared.

    Beyond the fog, there were eerie looking objects scattered all over the place.

    ‘The relics that the Dark Maga is keeping!!’

    It was a remark!

    At that moment, a loud laughter was heard from inside.

    [Are you here?]

    A young boy’s face.

    He was the Norse avatar.

    “I meet you, my lord.”

    Chris bowed his head.

    [Yes. Do you know why I called you here?]

    “if?”

    [Yes, that’s right. To give you a relic.]

    Chris looked slightly surprised.

    I was expecting to receive the relic reward soon.

    ‘But opening such a high-level relic warehouse?’

    Relics also have grades.

    Some artifacts are worse than human-made ones, while others disrupt the balance of the world simply by existing.

    At first glance, the artifacts in this warehouse were no ordinary items.

    These were high-level relics that would surely cause a storm if even one of them were to leak out.

    The greatest treasures that the Dark Maga has collected over hundreds of years of history.

    “…I am grateful for your kindness, my lord.”

    Chris bowed his head sincerely.

    If it weren’t for Nordian’s kindness, Chris would never have been able to set foot in the family’s highest office.

    [Enough of the useless tirade. Can you guess why I decided to open this secret to you?]

    Because I’m your only disciple?

    Norsemen were not the type to make such decisions for such personal reasons.

    “You want me to use the relics here to give the Union guys a piece of their mind?”

    The Norse let out a low laugh.

    [Yes, that’s right. Because you said you would bow the head of that unlucky bastard, the Pope. Are you really sure about that?]

    Chris nodded firmly.

    “Yes, please wait. I will bring you news that will satisfy your lord.”

    [Click, click. That guy is like a thunderbolt.]

    But the Norse now knows that Chris’s arrogant words and actions are not empty boasts.

    Chris has never failed to deliver on a story he has told.

    Not even once.

    ‘But I wonder what will happen this time.’

    The Norseman thought to himself.

    It was different from before.

    We’re going to the union.

    That too, in Mine’s body.

    There may be some difficulties.

    He will be subject to constant threats, and many will seek to take his life.

    Honestly, no matter how great Christian is, it’s impossible.

    If he didn’t come back dead, that would be lucky.

    ‘Actually, I was thinking about opposing it.’

    But still, I didn’t object, because I was Christian.

    I thought that Christian, who had performed so many miracles up until now, would do something great again this time.

    However, I am trying to bring along some relics that will be helpful in case of a crisis.

    [There is only one relic you can take from this warehouse. Choose carefully.]

    “thank you.”

    Chris lowered his head again and looked around at Vigo.
