Episode 280: A chance in a game turns into reality

60. Age of Adventure (3)

'Management of the World.'

The reason this possibility suddenly came to mind was because of a comment made by Lord Exceed.

The fact that he came to Rondel, that he became a great wizard revered in Rondel, and that he died leaving behind a legacy was all the goddess's plan, and the reason these plans were made was because of me.

That's why Road Exceed made this judgment about me.

'Perhaps you are a descendant or reincarnation of Caius (the creator of Earth).'

What exactly is the identity of the people of Earth, raised by a goddess who took so much effort to annihilate even the Heavenly and Demon Kings of Earth?

So, I started to think that Lord Exceed might have something to do with Caius.

If his guess is correct, it may be a big picture that starts from the beginning and continues to the current situation.

'The goddess plans to make me, a member of her lineage, an even more special being.'

But this is just a guess.

This means that it is a story of possibility, but not certainty.

However, the power was concentrated on me to the point where I had no choice but to think like this.

To the point where I felt as if a goddess was giving me power.

There was no one in power comparable to me anymore, so much so that even the emperor of the mighty Brigham Empire had to keep an eye on me.

"Is it too much to speculate?"

"Only the goddess herself knows the answer. To be honest, I have no choice but to doubt it. "Why not go to a sacred place sometime and ask for a meeting with the goddess?"

It's just as Arcia said.

No matter how much I complain here, nothing is clear, so it would be better to ask the goddess herself for an answer.

But I had to look reluctant.

"hmm… . "I'm reluctant to meet the goddess."

"why?"

"I have a feeling that I will encounter some unwanted situation."

Why isn't it there?

It feels like they're planning to turn me into a god, or to pass on even more troublesome tasks to me.

Arcia looked like she understood my reaction.

"That's true too."

Enjoy maximum power with minimum effort.

That's the life I want.

However, if greater power and power were given than this, it would become impossible.

That's why I'm reluctant.

"But, I still have to go and see."

"Are you sure you don't mind?"

"If the goddess tells you to do something, you won't be able to avoid it anyway."

Since it is not something that can be avoided by avoiding it, I decided that it would be easier to feel better and prepare for the future if I took this opportunity to clearly address it.

"After this meeting, I will go straight to the Holy Land."

"I will accompany you."

"thank you."

When we were talking about various things like that.

Before we knew it, the vehicle had arrived at the 'Lawrence Magic Academy', where the second day of the summit would be held.

The most spectacular building in the Duchy of Lawrence is of course the Dukedom Castle, but the most historic building is the Lawrence Academy of Magic.

The reason is that when the capital of the principality was the Crimson Duchy of the Croesen Empire, the building used as a lord's castle was now the Magic Academy.

Although the old castle had to be moved to the outskirts of the city as a new castle was built in the place of the castle, it retained its original appearance because I moved it myself using magic.

"Your Majesty the King!"

"Long live His Royal Highness Prince Lawrence!"

Just as the first day's summit was held at COEX rather than the Blue House, I also chose a general area that is easily accessible to citizens instead of Gongwangseong as the conference venue.

Maybe that's why there were so many people that loud cheering could be heard even though the car doors were not open.

Countless citizens and journalists gathered at the entrance to the academy.

The only difference from Earth is that most of the citizens welcome me?

Thinking back on all the boos and curses coming from Earth, I felt like this was my home ground.

"let's go."

"yes."

We got up from our seats.

Then the maids sitting across from us got up and straightened Arsia's and I's clothes.

The interior of the vehicle we boarded was spacious enough to allow jumping rope inside, so there was no inconvenience in doing so.

After the maids were finished organizing, Arcia and I checked each other's outfits and nodded.

The two were set in gorgeous outfits with the royal emblem of the Duchy of Lawrence embroidered with gold thread on a white background.

The only difference is that I am wearing a robe-shaped coat, and Arcia is wearing a knightly uniform with boots that reach up to her knees.

For reference, Arsia's ship was hidden by magic.

So, even when wearing a tight-fitting uniform, it did not feel awkward and fit very well.

I reached out my hand to Arcia.

-Sureuk.

She folded her hands over mine, and then the car door opened smoothly without a single mechanical noise and we walked along the red carpeted road.

-Wow!

As soon as Arcia and I got out of the vehicle, enthusiastic cheers from the citizens rang out.

It is no longer difficult to see clashes in the principality between people from the Croisen Empire and people from the Reinharts Empire.

Now everyone can live richly and proudly just by being a citizen of Lawrence.

Thanks to this, the media people from Earth were so shocked and covered their ears.

The length of the road leading to the inside of the conference hall is about 50 meters.

The reason for the long entrance ceremony is to provide photo time to be considerate of the media.

However, filming was difficult thanks to the enthusiastic citizens.

"Adrian! "Arsia!"

"Milk-colored Adrian!"

"Sister Arcia!"

In addition, the passionate shouts of those who volunteered to join the fan club were enough to break down the prejudice against feudalism among the people of Earth.

In the first place, you shouldn't view a place with powered suits that protect the entire body and floating rideable giant robots and UFOs as an ordinary medieval fantasy world, but when you think of a feudal country, you tend to think of exploitation and oppression of the people, so the bright appearance of the people will feel amazing. .

Arcia and I waved our hands and took our time, and after a while, a new vehicle entered the building and we entered the building.

"Is there a problem?"

But I soon had to close my eyes.

Because Gregory was waiting for me inside the building.

Since he was a close associate of mine, it would not be strange to say that he had been waiting in advance, but since I was wearing full glasses, I could immediately tell the change in his emotions, so I asked him a sharp question.

His current emotional state was tinged with embarrassment and absurdity.

"Master Berg and Master Marignan have disappeared."

"Eh?"

When I wondered if another accident had occurred, I expressed my bewilderment as I had not expected the two to run away from home.

Those two people are my close associates.

In particular, Berg is the closest of all close associates.

Those people disappeared?

Although I was embarrassed, I couldn't help but wonder.

"It's not kidnapping, is it?"

"Yes, I confirmed that you left the castle voluntarily. We even found out that he was mixed into the Chase Kingdom's Earth expedition team, but he has been completely missing since then. "I think he was headed to Earth."

Unlike Rondel, Blue Moon's information power does not exert much power on Earth.

I massaged my temples.

But soon I wondered if there was any need to worry too much.

Even though the two of them looked funny on the outside, they had a power that could not be ignored.

Won't it come back on its own when it gets hungry?

"But there is one peculiar thing."

"What is it?"

"Wasn't there a woman who conducted an investigation on suspicion of being an Elyos?"

there was.

Because its work and abilities were not threatening at all, I just placed surveillance on it and left it alone.

"The last time you two were seen talking to her."

A situation where other people might suspect Berg and Marignan's betrayal.

But not me.

Those two weren't such shrewd people.

I'm sure he just found something that caught his interest and approached it.

Because the mental age of those two was very young.

However, it seemed necessary to be careful because a person suspected of being an Elyos could do something foolish.

"Let's create a search team first. And if you find it, please let me know."

"All right."

Soon Goregori left and Arcia and I looked at each other and shrugged our shoulders.

I was worried about Marignan and Berg, but I believed that nothing would happen.

Now is the time to pay attention to the summit.

* * *

There are many dangers on Earth today.

Poisonous soil and poisonous insects within the poisonous soil that threaten people's right to survive.

Hunting grounds and dungeons were created by forcibly taking away people's activity areas.

If you use it well, you can gain benefits, but those who weigh the benefits amidst these risks are the ones with the luxury of time.

People who mostly enjoy peace under a sound government.

The problem is that there are many people who live in situations that feel more like a war zone every day than in peace.

To them, the changed Earth was like a disaster.

"Oh, this is where Earth's famous ancient civilization was located?"

The number of countries whose governments collapsed due to two major disasters amounts to as many as 100.

In particular, South America can be singled out as the area that suffered the most damage during the first great disaster. Many governments, including Brazil, which is considered the largest country in South America, as well as Peru, Bolivia, and Chile collapsed, turning into a lawless area.

South America, where the mafia was originally strong, turned into a crucible of chaos and became a land of complete hell.

"I heard there is a famous ancient ruin called Machu Picchu."

"Then let's go!"

Berg, Marignan, and Miel, an Elyos who accidentally formed a party, visited Peru, one of the collapsed countries in South America.

The only reason I visited this place was because it was a place out of sight of Adrian and Rondel.

When the countries of Rondel occupied the Earth, they made Asia, Europe, and Africa their bases, avoiding the surroundings of the United States, which was considered the most powerful nation.

Therefore, we decided that South America would be the perfect place for Adrian to enjoy adventure without being caught.

Thus, the three-member female party from Rondel set foot on a land infested with the mafia.

"What kind of rice cake is this?"

"So there are no separate angels."

"Let's take him to the boss."

Their beauty caused quite a few problems.

He was noticed wherever he went and had to face kidnapping attempts several times.

However, despite their appearance, they were a powerful party, so they knocked down those who rushed at them, and this attack and defense barely stopped after they hid in the dense forest.

"Wow, what a crazy land."

"The people of Earth are very aggressive."

Even though something unpleasant happened, their adventure did not stop.

Saying that if I could just pull out a knife, I would cut the radish, I went to a place called Machu Picchu of the Incan civilization, which had a mysterious atmosphere even from its name.

"Is that Machu Picchu?"

"Wow, what a mysterious light. "It feels like heaven and earth are connected."

"A city floating in the sky."

Flying through the sky and moving through space, the three reached Machu Picchu.

Even Elyos Miel, who unexpectedly joined the group, let out an exclamation of exclamation at the mysterious sight he was seeing for the first time.

But do they know?

The fact is that the real Machu Picchu does not emit a mysterious light or the city is floating in the air as it is portrayed in the story.

"Shall we come closer and take a look?"

"good."

If any other Earthling had been there, it would have been a sight that would have made them scream, but the Rondel people who did not know the actual Machu Picchu just loved it and said, 'That must be Machu Picchu.'

This incident, which would have been quickly known if the country had functioned properly, became unknown to the outside world as the government collapsed and it became a lawless area.

What they faced was by no means a normal scene.
