I Can See Your Code

I see your code (217)

Later anyway, that’s something to think about only after solving the immediate problem. It wouldn’t be really funny to say that it was destroyed in such a way for nothing.

So, as we were going to start a later discussion, a man came in with a knock. It was the staff in charge of the underground liaison. He said hello and smirked, then left the report without a word and hurriedly disappeared.

You seem to be very busy. He was a yangban who was usually respectful.

I didn’t really care and looked at it right away. And after a while, Tair Terberotz spoke as if he couldn’t contain his curiosity.

“Are there any changes?”

“yes. It is said that the barrier that was prepared by requesting the Magic Tower to apply to the ‘door’ is working to some extent. I think we bought some time before it fully opened.”

At my words, Thaere Terberotz lit up.

“That’s good news after a while. So, how much can you hold back?”

“Ten days.”

If it’s short, it’s a short time. It cost hundreds of thousands of gold, but I only made 10 nights.

However, in any case, early response is the most important law. Anyone can know that these ten days are like gold.

Thayer Terberots nodded satisfactorily as if he had also thought of him.

“That’s fine. At least that’s enough to draw up the city’s power.”

“yes. And maybe the academy graduates who fought with me this time.”

“If they are, don’t worry. The treatment has already been completed, so we can go to the battlefield right away.”

I didn’t mean to ask that.

I shrugged and continued.

“No, they were just talking about getting rid of this target.”

“… … Hundreds of 5th-level knights and 4th-star mages?”

“yes.”

When I answered calmly, Teiyer Terberoz shook his head as if absurd.

“That is absurd. They seem to ignore them by chance, but in fact, that’s a good enough power. Besides, if the support of the three kingdoms arrives, there will certainly be protests over the matter. They came to help, but they said they were withdrawing their feet.”

It was the right thing to say. Except I ignore them.

In fact, I tend to hit them high. No matter how much I was learning before entering the academy, the fact that I reached this level within a few years means that I have that much talent.

2nd grade, 3rd grade. It was judged that it was a waste to waste such talents who might even rise to the first rank.

The problem is the protests of the three kingdoms, as Tair Terberots said… … This part was prepared in advance.

“I’m calling for help. And the support from the three kingdoms is so strong that you will never be able to protest anything about it.”

“If that’s the case, it must be as strong as the three kingdoms, but where is such a group other than the three kingdoms?”

“It is not a group. It’s personal.”

“… … individual?”

Thayer Terberodz looked at me in a bewildered way when he said that, but I just shrugged and added a word.

“yes. There is only one support I can call.”

Ten days passed in an instant. Gather the available power and lead them to the deepest part of the basement.

The forces gathered in the final battlefield were all the 1st Knights and the Magician of the Layton Tower. and priests of some temples.

The number is small, but each of them is easily capable of about a thousand elites per day.

It may not be enough for war, but it is an optimized configuration to endure.

Anyway, there have been reports that the barrier has almost been pushed, so now all we have to do is place them at each entrance… … .

“… … .”

For some reason, everyone is looking at me with bright eyes.

It seems like they think I’m going to give a speech or something, but the problem is that I don’t have anything prepared.

Originally, it was important to boost morale before the war started, but as I have already confirmed, the people here are so veterans that there is no need for that.

But I don’t think there’s anything special about them. Or maybe it’s just because they’re nervous about being attached to something they’re experiencing for the first time.

Anyway, in the end, I couldn’t win my eyes and went forward.

But not for speeches. There is a greater chance that if you say something vague and hasty here, it will only adversely affect your morale.

So all I can show you is action.

When I pulled out the sword without saying a word, people’s eyes were fixed on that place, not me. It was because he immediately put all of his psychic power into it.

Although it is still level 2, it has a tremendous amount of purity and energy that can overwhelm even level 1.

At least in terms of performance, there won’t be anything else like this.

Reading the eyes with more trust than before, I followed the commands I had originally planned in a low voice.

There are three entrances to the maze. Naturally, the troops were divided into three.

Among them, in the midst of the biggest battle expected, only the best in the group were gathered, and their faces, who were not easily excited, were reminded of each other today.

“Did you just see that aura? I was surprised when I just detected what was inside, but when I took it out, it was more than that.”

“That’s it. How the hell did you get such a skill at that age? … . Isn’t it even just practice?”

Those with whom I spoke were not those who knew Rihanna well. Because there were very few second-class knights who were staying in Layton.

In fact, they were guards planted by Argon in the form of residence, but once they were ordered to support the site, they were out.

“It is, too. He said that he founded a famous company on the continent and even politicized against our prime minister? I honestly doubt that the author is the reincarnation of the King of Liberation long ago. Otherwise, it doesn’t make sense.”

“Even the Liberation King wouldn’t have done that at that age. Even after a few years like that, do you think he will catch up with his heyday?”

“Well… … Maybe it is.”

The knight who had been muttering with a serious face suddenly grinned.

“More than that, I don’t know why we’re having this conversation. Anyway, it doesn’t change that the world we live in is different. What did you do at that age?”

“I was training in the family. I heard that he is a prodigy born in three generations.”

“What is your grade? No, just don’t say it. It must have been 4th grade anyway. Because I was the same.”

“… … .”

The stabbed man shut his mouth.

I never imagined that I would go anywhere and see my pride in this way. It was always the one who was admired for being full of talent, not the one who admired it.

That’s why I didn’t like this topic very much.

But it’s the same with your opponent.

We didn’t want the situation to be fatal just by rubbing each other, so the topic naturally moved to another place.

“It’s a world that has nothing to do with us anyway, there’s one more strange thing.”

“Are you talking about that Black Knight over there?”

The knight nodded his head at the man’s question.

“right. If you detect the energy, they are clearly above level 2 knights, but it doesn’t make much sense to say that so many of them fell from the sky, right?”

“Of course it doesn’t make sense. Besides, throwing those talented people into the academy instructors makes no sense anymore.”

“… … It’s like the Imperial 1st Knights, isn’t it?”

This time the man nodded.

“They are the only ones. If the 1st Knights, who went to the East Continent, joined, the items of the East Continent sold by Lian Sanghoe would be explained immediately.”

“… … Maybe it was that Rian who was obediently becoming academy instructors and hiding inside… … No, is it a saint’s order?”

It started to change the subject, but eventually it came to the party again.

The man shrugged and answered.

“You are the one who initially wanted to introduce them as academy instructors, but you have no choice but to think that way.”

“Wouldn’t it be a problem if we reported this to the kingdom?”

The article said cautiously.

From a young age when he just started raising his sword, the Imperial 1st Knights had a strong reputation.

The fact that they were the continent’s most powerful armed groups had already been proven, and the debate arose over whether they alone could end a kingdom. It is said that only one group was strong enough to be compared to the national power.

It’s a one-on-one match. Anyway, I didn’t want to fight them in a group vs. group.

But whether he knew his feelings or not, the man calmly opened his mouth, regardless of what he was feeling.

“Actually, I already reported it before I came in. I just met Layton’s allies, and they said they were probably the 1st Knights, whose whereabouts were unknown.”

“What?! So what?”

“Hey, calm down. I did it right before I came in. But where was the bird that would receive the answer?”

“… … So it is.”

The knight bowed his head with a shaky face, and the man continued speaking.

“But it probably won’t happen either way you think? It’s war.”

“How are you so sure of that?”

At that, the man pointed the other way.

“Look at them, they were called Black Knights because they were always wearing black armor that covered their body. How about now?”

“… … It’s plain attire. He didn’t even cover his face.”

“Is not it?”

The man shrugged once more and continued.

“Now there is no need to hide your identity. It would have been a problem if it had been revealed before that, but what would they do in the same situation now? It wasn’t really an attack on the kingdom.”

“Then the order to become an academy instructor was… … .”

“It was meant to take time until this happened. I don’t know if the main purpose was education or if the main purpose was to hide the identity.”

The knight did not hide his surprised expression at the man’s words.

Obviously, it was right before the opening speech of the academy that the saint learned about the beings of the other world.

It was hard to believe that I could have seen this far in such a short time.

“… … Maybe that’s a bit of an exaggeration? I’d rather say that I saw the future in advance—”

“If you like it more, then believe it. Even if you don’t tell me which one is more absurd, I believe you will know.”

The knight’s face was gloomy at the man’s remark as if it were annoying.

It’s strange that there are still surprises about the saint.

“… … Anyway, good luck. Anyway, now we’re not enemies, we’re on the same side. If I had met him, I would never have been as terrifying as I am.”

That was something men could relate to.

He speaks calmly now, but at the time when his thoughts reached that point, he was surprised and stood there blankly for a while.

Right now, I just don’t show it on the outside because of my pride.

Anyway, it was time for him to stop talking and take a break.

‘… … what?’

I certainly didn’t feel anything, but for a moment, goosebumps rose up my spine. It’s as if you’ve faced something you shouldn’t have faced.

The others seemed to feel the same way, so they got up and looked at the same place.

And there.

―Ahhh!

From the fully open door, terrible-looking monsters were slowly emerging.
