14 – Council of Lords (1)

“Whoa….”

Seina let out a short exclamation and looked at me.

“Does it suit you well?”

“Yes! They look good on each other?’

Before heading to the monarch meeting, I stopped by Seina and her clothing store.

Still, it’s a monarch meeting in name and color, so shouldn’t we dress up a bit?

“I’ll do it with this. I don’t need any money.”

“Thank you! Please listen again next time!”

We exited the clothing store greeted by the clerk.

As if Seina had been waiting, she opened her mouth.

“Gerard, can I relax like this? I think it will be a bit far from the overlord’s castle.”

“It doesn’t matter. We’re going to use the portal anyway.”

Portal.

It is a product of the Mage Tower that allows you to move anywhere in an instant by specifying coordinates.

Of course, it was not possible for anyone to use it at an exorbitantly high price, but it did not apply to me.

I am a rich man who earned over 100 gold yesterday alone.

We headed straight to the magic tower.

As the times developed, the Mage Tower, which was located on a high ground, was moved to the center of the Postia Islands.

“I want to use the portal.”

I spoke to the wizard blocking the entrance.

“Are there two people using it?”

“Yes.”

“Then, follow me.”

Following the wizard, we entered the entrance of the Mage Tower.

“The usage amount is 50 gold. Please let me know if there is a place you would like.”

“Does it work anywhere?”

“As long as it’s not ridiculously far, it’s all right.”

“Good. I will use it right away.”

“The cost of using the portal is 50 gold. Just in case, don’t even say nonsense like asking for a cut.”

‘It’s filthy expensive.’

50 Gold was the cost of living for a family of four in less than three years.

Most people wouldn’t have dared to do it.

I took out 50 gold from my money bag.

“Here it is.”

“Good. Please tell me where you are going.”

“Castle of Serdic Overlord.”

“!”

The wizard’s expression was tinged with astonishment.

Then he spoke urgently.

“I can’t go there, so please go back immediately. Is there anything I can do to make the magic tower shut?!”

“You have to listen to people until the end. Where I said… “

After my words, the wizard nodded his head.

“… Hmm, I’m pretty sure that’s possible, is that really okay? I would die.”

“It doesn’t matter. I’ll do it where I just said. I would like him to go to a place as close as possible to the Monarchy.”

I pointed at Seina next to me.

Then she is startled.

“Going separately? What does that mean?”

“I have a situation that I can’t talk about, so follow me slowly.”

Seina’s expression suddenly darkened.

“Gerard… Aren’t you abandoning me?”

“Why am I abandoning you? Don’t say anything strange.”

“Then why are you going separately?”

“I’ll tell you why later.”

Seina nodded her head.

‘I’m sorry for nothing.’

It is a place where only I can survive.

I wanted to be with Seina, but I couldn’t.

“The coordinates have been calculated. Get ready.”

‘… Already?’

The wizards in the Mage Tower seem to be really geniuses.

I stood in front of the portal feeling a new surprise.

-Wheein!

The device started spinning rapidly, making a loud noise.

“Well then, see you later.”

I threw myself into the portal without hesitation.

**

In front of the vast garden of Serdic Monarchy.

The monarchs are located on a vertically long rectangular table.

“What is the overlord thinking? The monarch’s meeting is held outdoors like this. I’m going to die.”

Rosalia, in human form, opened her mouth, blocking the sunlight with her hand.

She added her words as if the 4 Lords agreed.

“I agree. If anyone sees it, they’ll think it’s a banquet. It’s not like we got together for a good cause.”

Actually, on both sides of the table were luxurious food, wine and whiskey.

The atmosphere was too festive for a meeting to be held after the death of the Seven Lords.

“Why, I like it. The overlord seems to be preparing for a meeting after a long time.”

“You are so optimistic. 1 Monarch.”

“So, has anyone figured out the cause of the death of the Seven Lords?”

“If we knew the reason, we would have gathered sooner. 3 Lords.”

Listening to this, Rosaria smiled.

Her attention is drawn to her.

“You seem to know something. Rosaria?”

“Hmm, well.”

“If you know anything, tell me right away.”

“I’ll tell you when the overlord comes.”

The monarchs clicked their tongues at her words.

Most of them lacked patience.

“By the way, is the overlord still there?”

The 4 lords looked at the attendant next to them as if they were annoyed.

She lowered her head in surprise.

“Sorry. That is… We don’t even know for sure.”

“Then, you should play with it too. I’m bored and going crazy right now.”

“Hey, 4 lords, stop taking out your stern anger.”

“Shut up.”

The 4th monarch broke the wine glass in front of him with his hand.

“Overlords are always like this. They tell us to come and go while we are busy and always make us wait.”

“There is nothing else to do anyway. Let’s wait patiently.”

The brows of the 4 lords furrowed at the words of the lord of iron fist.

“Do I look like I have nothing to do like you?”

“That’s how it looks.”

“Really? Then, can you see me trying to kill you right here?”

“Whoa, why, but. Let’s calm down.”

The 2nd monarch stopped the two of them with a smile.

“Whether the two of you fight or fall in love, do it elsewhere. What would the overlord think?”

“You lucky one, think your life is spared because of the proud overlord.”

The 4th lord stared at the lord of Cheollong with her young eyes.

“That was what I meant to say.”

“What-?”

The two jumped up from their seats without anyone saying anything first.

“Ha, they are starting again.”

“I don’t think I get tired of it.”

“Huh? Look over there.”

It was when the two monarchs were fighting.

Rosaria pointed at a man walking from afar.

“Is that him? He said he might become the 7th Lord this time.”

“That’s right.”

“It certainly looks usable.”

The identity of the man was a demon who would fill the vacancy of the 7 Lords, and he was a perfect talent with strength for strength and even intelligence for intelligence.

As long as there are no major incidents, it was no exaggeration to say that it was only a matter of time before he became the 7th Lord through this meeting.

‘It’s quite a lot.’

‘He looks stronger than the iron lord.’

‘It’s not as bad as the 7 Lords, but it’s not bad.’

It was when the monarchs thought so.

“Look up there.”

“What is that?”

“—!”

Something suddenly flew from behind the monarchs.

It was going down at an outrageous speed.

The drop point was exactly the movement line of the next 7 Lords.

“I’m going to bump into that.”

“Aren’t you going to help me?”

“Why should I help?”

“I agree, it’s annoying.”

I said that, but in fact it was too late to use my hands.

Something unidentified was already right above the head of the next 7 Lords.

Like that.

-Kwaaang!!

The collision happened in an instant.

Intense shockwaves and smoke cover the inside of the garden.

The flowers and trees in the garden were uprooted, and the surrounding area turned into a muddy field.

Only the castle and the space where the monarchs were intact.

“What is this?”

“Everything is fine.”

“Isn’t that what the overlord did?”

In the thick fog, the monarchs talked to each other in laughing voices.

It was quite a refreshing shock to those who were bored.

“Who are you?”

“If he could do something like this, he might be a real overlord.”

A silhouette of a man could be seen along with the thick opening.

Each monarch watched the scene with interest.

And finally, the fog lifts.

“Hmm, isn’t that a human?”

“Human?”

“I am not afraid. Invading the overlord’s castle recklessly.”

The monarchs each narrowed their eyes and looked at the man.

**

After exiting the portal, all I could see was a blue sky and clouds.

Looking down, the buildings in each city appear as dots.

Yes.

I was falling from the sky at high speed.

The destination is Serdic Lord Castle.

Considering many things, falling from the sky was the most perfect picture.

Impact is also impact, and Serdic Monarchy was a place where you couldn’t enter without permission.

‘Anyway, it takes a long time.’

It seems like a lot of time has passed, but the buildings still look like dots.

This seemed like it would take all day.

‘Maximize.’

Finally I turned my body down.

Then I used maximization to accelerate as much as possible.

My body descends in an instant.

‘If it wasn’t for his boldness, it would never have happened.’

Not long after that, the Serdic Monarchy draws closer.

‘Oh, but what is that bastard?’

I opened my eyes wide.

There is a strange demon right below where I fall.

‘I have to turn my body.’

But it was already too late.

If you try to turn around because the speed is too fast, you will hit him directly.

‘Damn—!’

-Quaaang!

I had no choice but to bump into him.

Fortunately, he was a demon.

I hope you went to a good place.

As the thick fog lifted, all the lords were looking at me.

“Nice to meet you all.”

He pretended to be relaxed and said hello.
