Regressor Instruction Manual

Untitled Part 52

"This c... crazy..."

"I will change the question. If you've never seen the masked man and woman... Where is your clan master?"

Silence descended upon the entire room.

He still kept his face saying that he didn't know anything, but at the same time, I tried to speak up again. I heard the sound of a spell being cast.

"D... Die!"

Black and green spheres and arrows struck in an instant.

As I leaned over and swung my sword, the large orb that was approaching split in half.

'Poison.'

This was an uncommon magic.

When an unknown substance from the shrapnel splashed on my clothes, smoke rose with a squealing sound. I held my breath with magic and moved instantly.

As soon as the sword was pulled out and I rushed, a huge monster rose up from the summoner and struck me.

It was a low-grade demon I had seen before.

After I cleared it by putting magic into the sword and wielding it, the black wizard's arm in front of me was thrown, and the body of the black wizard who was chanting the curse was cut off.

'One devil summoner and one necromancer.'

Skeleton soldiers poured out from all sides, but I swung my sword, the soldiers collapsed, and the necromancer fell with blood.

This was the same as last time.

'Their level is low.'

It was not that I got too strong.

It felt like there was definitely a level difference from the ones I had seen in the first round.

It was hard to imagine it was the same Saladin that drove the entire continent into fear then. There was no demon summoner to summon named demons, and at best, low-grade demons and intermediate-grade demons were all that there was.

It was difficult to find those who completed the 4th class change in the first place.

'Was there a trigger?'

It was correct to think that the masked man, who had declared himself to be the head of these people a few years later, had done something.

'They haven't met yet.'

I didn't know exactly when he would be active, but it was not at this time.

When I saw that he was not moving, even when the struggle for the imperial power had been revealed, it meant that he'd be active a little later than now.

In the first place, this was not the time when the man would usually be active.

It wasn't too bad since I wasn't looking for the man from the beginning. However, it was a bit hard to understand that the woman wasn't showing up, either.

I remembered that the masked woman was clearly active in the Imperial Palace at this time.

Of course, I hadn't spent much time in the imperial city in the first round, but I think I had seen her move with the influential nobles of Charlotte's camp when I once entered the capital.

'Is she hiding? Or has the future changed? If she were active, she wouldn't have a reason to hide...'

Seeing that she didn't show up even when the Second Empress was politically threatened meant that the future might have changed for a certain reason.

Considering the fact that the woman in the mask spent a long time with the murderous brigade, including the demon swordsman Jung Jinho... perhaps, after Jung Jinho's death, she had lost her place.

If this speculation was really correct, the masked woman wouldn't be lured after driving the Second Princess to the brink. The masked woman would not show up in the second round.

I could think of this as a positive butterfly effect created by Jung Jin-ho's death in the tutorial dungeon.

As I slowly went down to the underground, I began to see Saladin's findings.

I could not recognize many things, but considering that the plague began based on these studies, these were objects that should not exist on the continent.

As expected, it was still in its early stage.

When I generated magic power from my hand, a small flame sprang up, and the flame that fell on the research data began to burn.

I kept thinking of the imperial people burning and screaming painfully and the face of Charlotte, who had gone mad while screaming, but I shook my head and erased the bad memories.

However, her voice continued to come to mind.

'I want to wake up in a quiet forest listening to the birds singing. It will be difficult, but I want to live without maids, too. I want to listen to a troubadour's song from a bar. Yes. I want to live like that. I think I liked you a little. It seems like that when I think about it now. I've never loved someone, so I'm not sure what my feelings are, but it's probably similar to what my mother talked about. Please be happy, Count. In the next life, let's run into each other a little more ordinary. Let's face each other while smiling.'

I bit my lips, and then I went back right away.

After going up the long basement, I saw the town with nothing different than usual.

'Huh?'

It was then that I found a very familiar face on one side of the town square.

'What the?'

He disguised himself poorly with magic, but he couldn't hide that big size—the original member of the Blue, whose face I long have seen.

'Deokgu?'

The reason why Park Deokgu was here on the outskirts of the continent, far from Lindel or the capital, was unknown, but Kiyoung-ssi must have sent him on an errand.

By now, he would be busy calming public opinion.

'Why is he here?'

Naturally, I was curious. I think he had already received orders from the fact that he was on the outskirts.

The crowd was nodding and cheering at the big man's speech. It was when I moved in curiosity and put magic into my ears.

The contents I heard from the strangely drawn voice completely overturned my expectations.

"Imperial people! By the imperial people! A country for the imperial people! The owner of the Empire is not the imperial family! It's the imperial people!!"

"W-what... is that...?"

This certainly didn't happen in the first round.

"With a burning thirst! With a burning thirst! Democracy! Hurray!"

"What is this...?"
