292

King of Wisdom Risinass.

Leader of the Great Heroes.

The dragon of wisdom who guided the world to salvation with his insight.

The one who selected and united the heroes as one.

Risinass, adorned with countless epithets, was the most praised Great Hero regardless of race.

Risinass’s existence was that special.

But setting everything else aside, there was one most special point about him to her.

‘The beginning of everything.’

Everyone in the world had given up and accepted the world’s destruction.

It was an era when all they could do was pray that each day would continue to exist.

Even the gods had given up on that world.

He believed without doubt in that world’s salvation and drew a grand blueprint.

Even when fools mocked him, he silently moved forward step by step.

Thus he gathered the Great Heroes together, created hope, and gifted it to the world.

That’s why everyone holds Risinass special even among the Great Heroes.

Truly a symbol of salvation.

Leo reached his hand toward the door of Risinass’s mansion.

Thud- Creak-!

The door opened with the sound of old hinges.

As Leo opened the door and entered inside, the scenery of Risinass’s mansion revealed itself once again.

As soon as he opened the door and went inside, he had returned to his original position.

Those who are not invited cannot enter Risinass’s mansion.

That was the same even for the Great Heroes.

There was only one way to enter.

Breaking through the illusion magic that Risinass created.

However, with Leo’s current magical power, dismantling the magic was impossible.

But Leo opened the door once more to enter Risinass’s mansion.

Leo knew.

The method to break this illusion magic protecting the mansion.

Risinass had taught the dismantling technique only to Kail.

‘Not even Luna, who was close like a best friend, but why did he tell only me?’

Leo stopped walking as this fact that had been puzzling him from before suddenly came to mind.

Risinass’s gaze when he would sometimes curse openly flashed through his head.

Naturally, he also recalled how Dweno would look at him as if he were truly pathetic.

Risinass’s mansion, which no one could enter carelessly without Risinass’s permission.

He could enter that mansion anytime he wanted to.

‘No. He said he’d kill me if I entered carelessly.’

Recalling his friend’s incredibly fierce appearance, Leo opened the mansion door again.

As the magic activated, he immediately used the dismantling technique.

Whooom-!

Creak- Thud-!

The door closed and the interior scenery of the mansion revealed itself.

‘It’s been a while here too.’

Leo, who had been briefly looking at the interior of Risinass’s house with its calm atmosphere, began walking.

His destination was decided.

‘Risinass’s study.’

The treasury of knowledge possessed by the King of Wisdom.

In the distant future after 5000 years had passed.

It was a space that had been passed down through generations of Dragon Lords to even Mellina.

Of course, the scale of Risinass’s study was greater than this small mansion.

But the study itself was a space that Risinass had created.

Leo walked through the mansion interior with familiar steps and reached the library.

Click-!

The door opened and the space of the study unfolded.

Thud-

Leo closed the door.

This study doesn’t simply contain only the documents and materials that Risinass collected.

‘Risinass stored one of the Spirit Jewels here.’

The Spirit Jewels.

They were a kind of proof that the Great Spirits, who could be called the kings of spirits of each attribute, possessed.

Among them, the Jewel of Light and the Jewel of Darkness did not exist in this world.

The Jewel of Darkness was destroyed during the Age of Calamity.

The Jewel of Light belonged to the Great Spirit of Light, who had faced the crisis of destruction long ago when Kail and Risinass defeated the Legion Commander, Gluttony King Jormungandr.

It was sealed together with Luminous and then obtained by Kail.

But the jewels of other Great Spirits have been passed down until now.

The jewels have no special power.

But their historical value and symbolism were very important.

And during the Age of Calamity.

The owner of those jewels was not the Great Spirits but Risinass.

‘More precisely, the Great Spirits entrusted them to Risinass.’

During the Age of Calamity.

The Great Spirits handed over the jewels to Risinass as proof of contract.

And Risinass sealed the Great Spirits within those jewels.

Of course, he didn’t imprison them but made the Great Spirits dwell within the jewels.

Sealing Great Spirits in jewels caused tremendous risks.

First. The Great Spirits’ range of action was drastically reduced.

The Great Spirits’ range of action was at most Gardstron.

Second. Even Risinass, the contractor, couldn’t use the Great Spirits’ power without the jewels.

Last. No one except Risinass could contract with the Great Spirits.

Literally, no matter how excellent one’s spirit magic talent was in this era, contracting with Great Spirits was impossible.

The reason for sealing the Great Spirits in jewels despite these risks was none other than to protect Gardstron.

The Age of Calamity.

Gardstron accepted many people as the world’s last bastion.

Although Reishar was called a refugee city, Gardstron’s population was much larger than even that Reishar.

And to maintain such a Gardstron, light and water, fertile earth and clean air were needed.

‘The Lake of Spirits where Cal, Ar, and Eiran fell. The Realm of Fire where Runia and Driana went. All of them are the core that helps maintain Gardstron.’

And at the center of all of them, Spirit Jewels were stored.

Jewels that only Risinass could touch.

‘And these jewels are the key to conquering this Heroes’ World.’

The Spirit Jewels were Risinass’s spiritual power and the Great Spirits’ power itself.

If he could use them, he could use Risinass’s power.

Of course, since no one except Risinass could absolutely use them, they could be called Risinass’s exclusive weapons in a sense.

But….

‘I inherited Risinass’s power.’

Although the power disappeared long ago.

But the proof of the covenant that Risinass had made existed within Leo.

‘If I can summon Katariou… it means I can also use the Spirit Jewels.’

Thud-

Leo stopped walking.

In the center of the study.

A silver, round gemstone the size of a thumbnail was carefully preserved.

‘Wind Jewel.’

The jewel in which Silesta, the Great Spirit of Wind, was sealed.

Leo approached where the jewel was and reached out his hand.

Woom-!

The jewel reacted as Leo’s touch reached it.

However, the sleeping Silesta did not open her eyes or anything.

‘Three more to go.’

Leo carefully stored the jewel in his chest.

‘The Giant King’s invasion is in one week.’

Leo took a deep breath while checking his past memories and the current timeline.

‘I easily obtained the Wind Jewel, but the other jewels won’t be so simple.’

The Lake of Spirits and the Realm of Fire.

And the Temple of the Earth are heavily guarded.

Breaking through that and obtaining the jewels would not be easy for Leo in his current state.

‘But I have to do it.’

Leo, who was leaving the study, stopped in his tracks.

He had discovered a desk not far from the entrance.

Leo approached the desk and reached for a familiar book.

‘Risinass’s journal.’

Leo, who had been looking at the journal for a moment, burst into laughter.

***

Runia, Driana, and Cal looked around with extremely tense eyes.

The room was filled with all kinds of weapons.

‘This is the Divine Blacksmith… Dweno’s Workshop.’

‘All of these are divine weapons, aren’t they?’

With that thought, they involuntarily swallowed their dry saliva.

The three calmed their trembling bodies and looked at Dweno, who was sitting at the table drawing something.

“Um… Dweno.”

Runia carefully opened her mouth.

Dweno, who had stopped the movement of his hand, looked at Runia.

“Why do you call?”

“Um… you said you would teach us something…”

“That’s right. I have something to teach you all.”

Dweno stopped his hand.

Looking at such Dweno, Driana asked with a curious voice.

“What are you drawing?”

Runia and Cal looked at Driana with incredulous eyes.

“Why are you looking at me with such eyes?”

Driana furrowed her brow.

“Hey, could you just use one way of speaking? When you switch from solemn speech to suddenly cute girl speech, it’s really hard to adapt.”

At Cal’s question, Driana crossed her arms.

This way of speaking is also a sign of respect toward Dweno. So I absolutely cannot change it!”

“What’s the need to imitate the speech of a stuffy old dwarf? Use your original way of speaking.”

“Yes! I understand!”

“Really no backbone.”

“Exactly.”

Watching Driana quickly use age-appropriate speech, Runia shook her head and Cal agreed.

Dweno, who smiled slightly at that sight, said.

“What I’m drawing is designing the appearance of the weapon I’m going to make.”

Flap-

Dweno held up the paper and said.

“Would you like to take a look?”

At Dweno’s question, the three people’s eyes lit up as they approached Dweno’s desk.

“Wow- it’s beautiful.”

“This is totally a work of art, isn’t it?”

“As expected of Dweno!”

Watching the three people admiring, Dweno laughed with a “hoot-“.

“Beauty is like the truth of this world.”

“That’s right! I think art is the driving force that maintains this world.”

“Oh, you’re a dwarf who knows something.”

Dweno nodded his head as if satisfied.

“In that sense.”

Dweno glanced at Runia.

“Was it Runia? I have a favor to ask of you.”

“Yes? What do you want from me.”

Runia made a tense expression.

“You are a very beautiful elf. As much as Luna.”

“Yes? How could someone like me be compared to Luna? Oh my.”

Runia blushed and didn’t know what to do.

Even so, since the great hero Dweno directly said she was as beautiful as Luna, she couldn’t help but smile.

“Your temperament seems completely different from Luna though.”

“Want to say that again?”

“I mean, just because you quit being a model student doesn’t mean you need to become a delinquent! Why are you so extreme!”

Watching Runia grab his collar and clench her fist, Cal let out a scream.

Watching that scene, Dweno laughed heartily.

“It’s nice to see such liveliness.”

Dweno, who had been laughing pleasantly, looked at Runia.

“Anyway, what I want to ask of you is.”

Runia made a tense expression.

“Would you consider being a model for my work?”

“A model for your work?”

Runia smiled shyly.

“If you would use me, it would be an honor…”

“As a nude model to pass down your beauty to future generations.”

At the words added afterward, Runia’s face turned bright red.

“A, a nude model?”

Watching Runia panic while covering her body with her arms, Driana said.

“Should I strip her?”

“Strip what! You pervert!”

Runia, with wide eyes, directly smacked the back of Driana’s head.

Cal laughed mischievously.

“I’m in favor.”

“What did you say?”

“I misspoke. I’m against it.”

Watching Runia’s eyes turn murderous enough to make flesh tremble, Cal quickly said.

“Well, I can’t force someone to do something they don’t want to do.”

Dweno clicked his tongue slightly.

Watching that, Runia let out a sigh of relief.

“Then let’s get to the main point.”

Dweno wore a serious expression.

“Cal. I’ll pass on my alchemy to you.”

“What?”

Cal showed a surprised expression.

“Driana. I’ll teach you how to make weapons.”

Driana wore a bewildered expression.

“And Runia, to you.”

Slam-!

“What’s going on. Perverted dwarf. If you spout another rude thing like nude modeling, I’ll really burn you this time.”

A woman with white hair in gorgeous attire entered.

‘Phoenix…?’

Runia, whose family had made contracts with Phoenix for generations, immediately saw through the identity of the being that appeared before her eyes.

And she felt herself trembling.

‘Royal bloodline…!’

“Hmm? An elf who handles Phoenix flames. How interesting.”

Katariou looked at Runia as if finding it amusing.

Seeing this, Dweno said.

“To you, I’ll teach the essence of flames.”
