The Novel's Villain

< 12. The subordinates are doing too well (5) >

Merlin opens his eyes and looks at the snow.

My body shrunk and my back bent automatically.

The Wizard says he recognizes the king when the time comes.

Merlin thought it was just a blunt sound, but only today did he realize the meaning.

Merlin takes a deep breath and tries to stop his body tremors.

He straightens himself up like a knight in front of the king. Attitude became self-respecting.

Hmm?

Jinwoo was a little embarrassed to look at a wizard suddenly trembling with his eyes wide open.

Apparently, it was the British royal side, but of course it was the first time. I had no relationship with the British in the first place.

Merlin politely stated his business.

“My name is William Merlin Kingston. I know it's rude, but I'd like to talk to Lee Jin-woo for a moment. ”

The General Manager tries to send it back, but he retreats after taking a gesture that Jinwoo is okay.

I had heard the name William Merlin Kingston before.

Merlin was only named after the original. It was mentioned that the artifact of fulfilling the wish was found and disappeared.

As he disappeared, his scholarship was divided, and the European Circle Wizards fell. The M school in the United States came to rule as the representative of all wizards.

‘Merlin.' I think it's named after a wizard. ’

As long as I could see the name, it had to be very important.

It seemed to have been set as an important figure, but there was only a mention that it was nothing special and that it was the cause of the fall of the British Wizard.

‘Sounds like a real wizard. ’

Anyway, he was likeable to Lee Min-woo. She seemed to be talking about Merlin. I felt like a wizard in the movie because I was very good with bright blondes and a deep impression.

Merlin approaches Jinwoo and bows politely.

“Hello? It's an honor to meet you, Lee Jin-woo. ”

“Yes, nice to meet you. Sir William Merlyn Kingston. ”

“Please, call me Merlin. It's just a wizard conforming to the flow. ”

Merlin was quite fluent in Korean.

There were quite a lot of Korean language articles because Korea was a powerful nation. The universal language was English, but it was comparable to that in the talented world.

There were many advantages.

In the case of JW Gates, only Korean language was written, and so were other Korean gates. The world's largest gate artifact auction house was in Korea and only in Korean.

It was a very floating element for Korea, but it was very comfortable because it was real.

“It was really good. I became lost because I was drunk with flavor and fragrance. Life has been so futile up until now. ”

“Thank you."

We had a formal conversation for a while.

It was mostly praise for Jinwoo. They were words he would never say.

William Merlyn Kingston was a man who never did anything like his father.

Rather, he was a man who gave sharp advice to dictators and senior figures.

That's why the public's support was great.

Merlin kissed very quietly.

I did not feel uncomfortable with the story that seemed so natural.

Even the general manager listened and nodded several times. The general manager admired the note.

There was also an emotion like telling a story in a fairy tale.

He was indeed the head of a major magical sect in Europe.

Finally got to the point.

“I know it's rude, but I wanted to ask you something. ”

“Yes, go ahead. ”

Merlin groans, making a serious face. It was like a bookkeeper in front of the central ambassador of the country.

“I'd like to ask you about that last piece of fruit called the golden apple. ”

“Yes, this is the fruit I found at JW Gate. ”

I wasn't lying.

I used to buy seeds at the Dimensional Shop, but I found them at the JW Gate, after all.

“Would you be willing to sell? ”

“Well, it's so rare. ”

It wasn't rare at all, but Jinwoo once said so.

‘It's delicious. ’

Did the Great Wizard of England come here for that?

I was curious about what he meant.

“The noble Great Wizard · · ·. ”

“That's the attitude of Sir William Merlin Kingston. ”

“Fantastic.”

Merlin looked very respectful in front of Jinwoo.

Merlin doesn't hesitate to bow. The other knights were very surprised and looked at the scene.

Merlin couldn't afford to pay attention. I was focusing on Jinwoo's words. His heart was filled with hope, mission, and desperation.

Jinwoo felt strange about his attitude and looked into the mindset of information.

The level was 75, and the Talent Rank was A for that reputation. Even though the rank of the competent is A, the wizards have actually been rated more than that.

It had great strategic value.

Anyway, it was a perfect match for England's greatest wizard.

Hmm?

Jinwoo blinks.

There was surprising information.

[-E] Merlin Scholar's Wig

A cutting-edge wig that spends a lot of time and money studying Merlin. It is milled with all sorts of high-level rituals.

* [-E] Natural Appearance

‘Mmm · · · · · · · · · ·. ’

Jin Woo quickly understood the situation.

I didn't care so far, but there was definitely a special function in the golden apple.

It was a fruit made by a strong and deep Golden Tree. It strengthened the roots and resurfaced the roots.

I haven't eaten it for a while, but it seemed to be effective immediately.

‘Hair loss medicine is a common material in modern fantasy · ·. ’

I often read the novel Jinwoo read. Hair loss pills, diet pills, skin care pills.

Jin Woo was the one who was worrying about it. It reminded me of a memory of hair loss that was overwhelmed by stress and male hair loss.

Can't a sorcerer avoid hair loss?

Jin Woo examines him in more detail.

[D +] Curse of Circle Magic

‘All wizards are round. That's the circle.'

A phenomenon called the curse of circle magic.

The curse is all about gender. There is also an analysis that this is the cause of this phenomenon, which is that this wizard hides in the forest and becomes a witch. Circle wizards around the world have greatly weakened their power.

Jinwoo was stunned by the information.

It wasn't.

It was because he was a great wizard.

‘What kind of crazy setting is this? ’

It was a setting I had never even seen before. Why would an original writer do that?

The static settled for a moment.

It seemed that Jinwoo and Merlin were having a very deep conversation.

Jinwoo thought for a moment.

‘Maybe the reason Merlin's gone. ’

A wizard who has traveled a long way in search of a wishing artifact.

Although it was the cause of the fall, there was still a mysterious and romantic part. In fact, the original article said plainly.

But behind it, I was devastated.

Jinwoo could read his eagerness in Merlin's eyes.

‘It would be nice to have a good relationship. You tried to throw away too much anyway · · ·. ’

Merlin and his disciples would have been a great help against the monarch. It was the only business I had left because I could get help for the abundance of golden apples.

Jinwoo smiles at him.

It was a sales smile I had when I went to the company, but it was very attractive because the attractive stats were piercing the sky.

Hee-yeon was staring at Jin Woo for a while.

Seeing him speak at superiority, rather than at the same time, as that noble Great Wizard who is hard to even meet, Hee-yeon had a complicated thought. It was because he felt like he was in a very distant place today.

Jin Woo moved on to have a deeper conversation. When his gaze disappeared, Merlin was able to speak more comfortably.

Jinwoo decided to give it a color.

That way, I had the advantage of getting help later.

“You know, it's precious. ”

“Of course. Worth mentioning as the treasure of defeat. ”

Merlin nods and replies in Jin Woo's words.

I was agreeing very strongly.

“Lord Merlin asked me to, so I'll try. ”

“Are you sure? ”

“Yes, but I can't guarantee it's a special fruit. ”

“I understand. I'll pay you well. ”

Merlin was prepared to pay for everything.

By disposing of all the scholarly property. We need to collect the wealth again. But there are things in the world that can never be gathered again.

Jinwoo shakes his head with a slight smile.

“I don't get paid by the Grand Wizard who strives for world peace. It's okay.”

“Yes? Then · · · ·. ”

“But I want you to help me later when I need help. I'll give you what I have. ”

Jinwoo said so, taking out a box of golden apples from the sub-space and placing it on the floor.

The precious golden apples piled up in abundance.

Merlin's eyes widen.

Merlin looks at Jinwoo. Jinwoo didn't have a bad feeling at all. When any rich person or any honorable person gave something, it was a feeling of greed.

However, I could not read that color at all from Jinwoo.

Merlin felt it was so dark.

Maybe that's why the surroundings looked bright.

‘You can fulfill your wish in one step, so what are you hesitating about? ’

Merlin closes his eyes.

His concerns were not long.

“Jinwoo will support me and the circle wizard in my school, risking my life. ”

Merlin said something rather bold to reassure you.

I didn't have to say it like that, but Jinwoo decided to accept it.

I felt comfortable thinking I could get help later.

Of course, people had to help each other.

“Please take good care of it.” After Jinwoo asked for a handshake, Merlin held Jinwoo's hand tightly.

Merlin's head bows naturally.

The moment she held Jin Woo's hand, Merlin was overwhelmed by feelings for the first time in his life.

It was a very heavy emotion.

Profit!

Something pushed from Jinwoo filled his heart. From the bottom up, I went through my heart to the tip of my head.

It exploded soon after.

The golden light filled his world.

‘Ahh · ·! ’

Is it because he fulfilled his wish?

Is it because he was freed from a curse called a lifelong vendetta?

Merlin only felt free after the chains that had always bound him were lifted.

[Successful contract with William Merlyn Kingston.]

Hmm?

Suddenly, information came up. It was a very vivid sound.

Jinwoo tilts his head and looks closely at him.

[William Merlin Kingston swore an oath of soul to the Golden Monarch in return for his wish.]

[William Merlin Kingston became "The Wise One."]

[Merlin was influenced by the Golden Monarch and converted to Golden Wizard.]

[A +] Wise (Former)

The Golden Monarch granted his wish and opened up new possibilities. It wasn't until the Grand Wizard fulfilled his wish that he escaped his confinement and became a wise man.

Now all will praise him, calling him the Wise Man of the Sun.

* Increases circle magic by one level.

* His soul cannot escape the Golden Monarch.

* Magical power bites with a radiant light resembling the golden monarch.

Former Skills

[B +] Wise Time

It can be judged as a free thought in any adversity.

Increases leadership, persuasion, magical power, and casting speed by a large amount.

* 200% Leadership Increase

* 200% Increased Persuasion

* Casting Speed: 100% Increase

* Magic Power: +100%

Merlin was suddenly on the job. It seemed to be because of the influence of the Golden Monarch.

Merlin, who was an A rank, became an A + rank. It was a rank beyond the Great Wizard of the United States.

Is this okay? ’

Jinwoo just wanted to help later.

Something keeps going in a different direction than he intended.

“You have been greatly rewarded. I have a duty to deliver this enlightenment and blessing to all Circle Wizards. We'll be seeing you soon. ”

“Ahh · · ·. Yes.”

Merlin kept the golden apple in the sub-space.

Once again, I thanked Jin Woo and stopped by the bathroom for a moment before returning to the position of the British knights.

‘Hmm · · · ·. I'm a little tired.’

Jinwoo looks back at Merlin, who is getting away.

It's been a long time since I felt tired.

Jinwoo really came at a strong time. Merlin's face was filled with confidence.

Strength was completely different from before.

I was amazed at how hard my eyes were just watching. It was the true image of the Sun Wizard William Merlin Kingston.

A British knight looks at Merlin and cautiously steps out.

“May I ask what you said to Lee Jin-woo? ”

“A story for the future. ”

“The future?”

“Yes, a hopeful future awaits. ”

The knight tilts his head.

Merlin turns his head to look at the knight.

“Sir Alex. ”

“Yes!”

“Don't just call your honor that you're not here. Knights should always learn to respect. ”

“Yes! I'm sorry! I'll keep that in mind!”

Merlin taps his shoulder and nods.

“Bright.”

He once again saw a miracle.

There was a bright future coming up.

The future was really bright.

‘And it's dark. ’

However, the darker the head and the broader the forehead, the better.

It was a glorious darkness.

It was also why the Wizard of the Circle fell into dark magic.

I had a lot of work to do.

I had to convince her faction of dark magic and unify all of Europe.

In many ways, the informal event was successfully completed.

Everyone came out of the JW gate thinking differently. No one could predict exactly what would happen next.

* * *

Ryuway was unable to control his anger.

My whole body trembled with humiliation and shame.

He had never been born as the son of a high official of the party and bowed his head easily to others. There was nothing to be afraid of as a warrior of the People of China, being a knight and joining the Third Knight and the Child Dragon Society with different skills.

He did not doubt that he would soon become a master and, furthermore, a great ruler of the inferior people.

It's forbidden for a competent man to enter politics, but does the hero of the People's Republic care about that?

“Damn it!”

Even the ambassador shook his head, and his close business associates, who had always been kind to him, had not been contacted. All to continue our relationship with that vicious Lee Jin-woo.

He was about to be banished from the Seven Dragons. I was lucky if I got kicked out.

I don't know what Lee Jin-woo did, but I was about to be disqualified as a knight.

Ryuway was unable to return to his home country. I had to do something.

I had to aim for a reversal.

I couldn't have fallen like this.

“Yuck!”

Ryuway contacted someone. It was the oath plague of the Snake Shield Guild Alliance.

[Have you decided?]

“Did I mention desperation does miracles? ”

[Yes, that's correct.]

“What's the plan?"

Ryuway's question heard a grim laugh over his cell phone. Ryuway heard his plan. Japan was not even mentioned at the JW Gate informal event.

It was an absolutely blatant overview.

It was all because of Lee Jin-woo.

The more she heard about the plague, the more confident she was that she could succeed. We didn't have enough men and power, but we could if we had the support of the Seven Dragons.

[Think, the value of decomposition and decoding skills! It's worth the work. It may be difficult at first, but it's a clear way to escape the influence of the frontline group and Lee Jin-woo. Until when should China and Japan notice the first-line group?]

“Hmm · · · ·. ”

[Our intel says it's a high-level artifact that prevents decomposition and decoding. We also have information on the researcher analyzing the artifact.]

“Was there an informant? I can't believe you planted that in G&P. ”

[You were lucky.]

Ryuway thought for a moment.

At JW Gate, it was okay to say that the technology was a miracle.

Decomposition Prevention and Detoxification!

What if we could take that technology back to the mainland?

I might reform international politics

Furthermore, all countries could have participated in the 'neutralization ridge’.

“I'll be in touch.”

Ryuway nods.

He seemed to be pictured returning home as a hero of the people. Ryuway carefully contacted the Child Dragon Society. I vomited and explained all the information with desperation.

[I'll take a look. Wait.]

It was the answer of the Child Dragon Council.

A week has passed since.

Ryuway chewed his nails, waiting nervously. Ryuway had to live a miserable life without permission from the Child Dragon Society. I was disqualified and couldn't afford more than 200 billion won.

Perhaps I could be dragged to the Hall of Abilities to work for the rest of my life. Lee Jin-woo was the only one left after committing such an evil act.

I was contacted in secret while he was trembling.

[Whatever happens, succeed. I will support the league guild with kites on our side.]

“Go, thank you. ”

[From now on, you are a traitor until you return home. However, if you succeed, you will become an executive of the Seven Dragons.]

“It's an honor!”

From the point of view of the Child Dragon Society, it was enough or not. I've already completed the eviction process for Ryuway.

It was only because of personal grudges.

‘You can hit and leave before the first group moves. ’

It was a chance to avenge Lee Jin-woo.

I could sleep well if I could see his furious expression just once.

The dice have already been thrown.

You only have to succeed once.

Just once!

That one time will change your fate!
