Chapter 508

#508. Get to know the subject.

* * *

Maddo London.

One of the largest cities in the world.

But after the events of London.

London has lost its splendor.

This is because there was no intact place anywhere, from buildings to roads and parks, due to the rampage of over millions of shadow monsters.

after the London crisis.

The aftermath of the mess in London was as much a factor as the death of the magic lord, Carol, that shook the world stock market.

But that is also a story of the past.

The messy city has been remarkably rebuilt in just a few months.

There are three causes.

One was that there were few casualties.

The two are generously supported by the Blue Dragon clan.

The three were the cooperation of former Magus Guild members.

After Carol’s death, the Magus Guild was disbanded, but many of them remained in London to help restore it.

It wasn’t just because he coveted the enormous rewards of the Blue Dragon clan.

For they all had some degree of remorse for causing the London crisis.

Their cooperation using various magical skills was a great help.

Thanks to that, London was rebuilt so quickly that even the players were amazed, and now it has regained its placental original appearance.

one such building.

The British Museum was still empty.

The restoration of the building is over, but in the original museum, the content is more important than the building.

In particular, the British Museum, which boasts the world’s largest scale in terms of both quantity and quality of exhibits, was more like that.

“Ha-am…”

Sophie yawned and moved forward with a gun because of that.

The reason why the London crisis was a mess was that the exhibition items had not yet been sorted out.

Still, at this rate, within a month, the exhibition preparations could be finished and the museum could be reopened.

Clinging to that faint hope, she, like the other employees, was working hard day and night.

“…huh?”

while walking like that.

Sophie suddenly put on a puzzled expression.

I didn’t notice it because of the drowsiness I had from staying up all night last night, but it was because I felt something out of place.

‘Is it because of my mood?’

what’s weird

She tilted her head and walked down the hallway again, but stopped abruptly.

This is because a stranger was found in the exhibition hall, where outsiders are prohibited from entering as the exhibits are still being organized.

‘Who is it?’

Even though I’m just standing still

Sophie hesitated as she looked at the person who caught her attention with just that.

Normally, I would have asked who it was and warned that outsiders are not allowed to enter this place.

It was because just looking at the other person was so strangely frustrating that I couldn’t even open my mouth.

“Young man who sees me.”

It was at that moment that the opponent quietly opened his mouth.

“Ah yes?”

“Do you know the analogy of these objects?”

Hear that stupid question.

Sophie realized.

‘…This person is a noble.’

It wasn’t just the old-fashioned clothes and the formal tone that could have been used in the distant past that made it possible to notice that fact.

Dignity that comes naturally just by standing.

Above all, the attitude that seemed to take it for granted that anyone would answer a question he asked.

It made me know that the opponent was born with noble blue blood.

“Ah… these are exhibits brought in during the Demon God War.”

So, Sophie answered the question in good faith.

The British Empire is still a country of nobility.

Respect for the nobility was a basic thing for citizens of the British Empire to learn, even if there was no punishment for a wrong word like in the Middle Ages.

Especially for Londoners who know the aristocratic nobility more than anyone else, the Countess of Sea Serpent.

“Did you say it was a demon war?”

“yes. At that time, Europe was devastated and many cultural events flowed here.”

“…”

“Honestly, it’s a pity. It is said that the cultural systems stored here are not even a speck compared to those that were destroyed or disappeared at the time.”

Famous paintings and antiques, of course.

Even the keepsakes of historical great men.

During the Demon God War, 90% of European cultural festivals were destroyed.

Most of the remaining 10% also flowed to the black market, leaving no trace.

As a restoration expert, Sophie, who knows how fragile cultural festivals can be, naturally sighed.

It was obvious that anything that made its way onto the black market would have already been ruined or destroyed.

Listen to what Sophie said.

The other person asked quietly.

“Can you assume that the horse didn’t steal this, but just kept it forever?”

“What nonsense are you talking about stealing!”

said Sophie in a fit of rage.

The British Museum is the pride of England.

In particular, the exhibits, no matter how trivial, were purchased at a fair price.

This is because, in the first place, the shameful act of proudly displaying stolen goods was not tolerated by the Countess of Sea Serpent, the ruler of the British Empire.

“…I do understand what that means.”

as if thinking about something

Close your eyes for a while.

He nodded slowly and continued.

“If these things are intact thanks to you keeping them well, then I should also consider the young man as a benefactor rather than a thief.”

“yes?”

“In return, I won’t see any more blood today.”

Why is it a grace to keep the cultural festival?

To the confused Sophie.

He didn’t bother explaining.

It seemed natural that the other party would accept it as long as he notified it.

just went into action.

Chunk.

“…!”

Sophie’s eyes widened.

After the black cloak fluttered.

It wasn’t just because a bloody spear more than 2 meters long appeared in his hand.

Because I saw him aim the spear at the display case.

“sleep…?!”

squeak.

without any time to dry.

The blood-colored spear is swung.

The tempered glass, which also deflects bullets, was cut at an angle and slipped, then fell to the ground and shattered.

how neatly it was cut.

In the midst of keeping silent even the alarm device that should be working.

he said softly.

“Let’s go together.”

Squeak.

like a loving lover.

Or like hugging a child.

He carefully picks up the exhibits.

Take a moment to watch in dismay as the exhibits get sucked into the cloak that wriggles as if it were alive.

“You’re a thief too!”

“Guard Guard!”

“Someone come and see! anybody there?!”

Sophie, who came to her senses only belatedly, shouted in a tearing voice.

And I was bewildered.

No matter how much I shout, of course no one comes.

It was because he also just looked at her with calm eyes as if he didn’t care what he said.

What is this strange atmosphere?

While searching for the reason.

Sophie soon realized.

‘…Where have the knights gone?’

After the crown of Richard the Sword King was stolen.

Knights of the Countess Sea Serpent, who patrolled the British Museum day and night.

The fact that he had never seen them today, even though he would have met them a few times normally, was the identity of the sense of incongruity he felt.

What does that mean?

The moment when she realized it belatedly and became blue, she swallowed her breath.

Phaging!

space splits

An old knight in a blue cloak protruded from the air and swung his sword at him.

Kaaang!

and was blocked

It seemed like he knew he would show up.

The spearhead he swung lightly deflected the old knight’s sword.

Even though the action is so light, the terrifying recoil is enough to tear the grip.

However, the old knight swung his sword more fiercely even as blood dripped from his hands.

“Are you the elder of the blue dragon clan? Indeed, it seems that the Demonic Cult’s sectarianism is still being passed down well.”

A quick and sharp sword attack.

On top of that, there is even the Yihyeonghwanwiryu, which crosses space and creates an alter ego whenever you step.

The skill of the Nogisa, who had been trained for a long time, was so great that even a large supply player could not handle it.

But he wasn’t nervous.

Like watching a child’s joke.

After waving a bloody spear with one hand and parrying all the attacks.

I just laughed and said.

“But get to know the subject.”

Booung!

That moment.

The old knight was startled.

This was the first time the man who had always been defensive was counterattacking.

Just lightly blow out the window.

A very plain and simple action.

That’s why the moment I crossed the space again to avoid that faster and strangely ominous attack.

Quaang!!!

“Gagging!”

The old knight broke the wall and bounced outside.

Obviously, I escaped by crossing the space.

The spear that penetrated the twist left in the air and chased it beyond the space blew the old knight away like a piece of paper.

The old knight, who was rolling on the floor, managed to stand up using his sword as a staff, but that was all.

Armor crushed like scrap metal.

Broken ribs like sorghum cans.

Even the blood that spilled out of his mouth.

The old knight, who had become a mess, did not appear to be able to fight any longer, even with empty words.

single blow.

It was also that a staff-class master was seriously injured by a lightly outstretched spear with one hand.

However, the man did not show any enthusiasm.

It seems like this is normal.

I just walked quietly.

Dang-.

but right after that.

He stopped.

The moment when you want a heavy bell to ring the air.

Fog rising from all directions covers the city, and a hazy black shadow surrounds him.

“Is this really the Great Barrier in London?”

When the demon war broke out.

Resurrected by witches of the 27 lineage of magic.

Looking at the distant ancient magic that had long since disappeared during his lifetime, he murmured quietly.

“Sorry.”

If this had remained in his lifetime, he would have been able to explore more possibilities.

It was a while to mumble quietly.

He immediately shook his head.

After all, the past is the past.

Even if I regret it, nothing will change.

Because now he had a better alternative.

“It wouldn’t be bad to test how far the martial arts of the Demonic Cult have developed over the past hundred years…” I had

already declared that I wouldn’t see any more blood today, and I didn’t want to get into a useless fight as I was just out for a walk. .

He ignored the old knight staring at him horribly and the signs gathering behind him.

After all, they make time.

It was because he knew that it was a bait that would tie his ankles until the Blue Dragon Princess appeared.

And it was difficult even for him not to see blood while dealing with the blue dragon princess in this dull barrier.

It was even more so when he thought of his old teacher, who might appear with the Blue Dragon Princess.

Although I’m not afraid of fighting him, I had a long-cherished wish that I had to fulfill before that.

just to get out of here.

For the first time holding a spear with both hands.

Silently aim at the empty space.

“Let’s go back quietly today.”

His stabbing skills are exceptionally good.

I took a spear instead of a sword.

As a result, he was the man that even Limon acknowledged as having reached the pinnacle of all sword masters in terms of piercing alone.

Sword Demon Vlad Chepes.

The moment he threw a bloody spear like that.

Thorns That Pierces Death

Sever.

????]

Quaaaaaaang!

The fog-covered city is being cut in two.

Countless souls are torn to shreds with screams.

The most powerful magic of the Silver Age that stopped even the Demon God who destroyed Europe.

London showdown.

It collapsed.
