Chapter 326 – Master #2

However, it was pointless to take off the master’s mask even if he flew over the balcony.
This was in Glemm’s dream, and if I took off the mask, there would only be an empty landscape reflected on the other side.
The scenery that Glem couldn’t observe was something I couldn’t observe either.

I blended into the crowd and calmly listened to the master’s speech.

―On this land, our compatriots, the devil worshipers, are oppressed. The hateful followers of Odin and followers of Baldur oppress our people! 500 years ago, we were defeated in a great war and were pushed into the dark underground. The Earth is owned by fools who do not follow Loki’s great will.

The Master spoke to everyone in a voice filled with anger.

―Then, my vassals! Don’t you think it’s time to take back the ground? Isn’t it time to drive out the followers of Odin and Baldur and establish our own paradise on the land!

Listening to the speech, I couldn’t help but feel an unusual atmosphere.
The followers of Odin and Baldur are not limited to the magicians of Nygard and the Church of the Light Star.
Strictly speaking, most of the people of the Northern Kingdom were close to Baldur’s followers.

Other countries were different, but the Northern Kingdom designated Gwangmyeongseonggyo as the state religion.
Almost all of the non-church-going people of the North believe in Baldur.

So, what does the Master mean now?

‘Are you trying to start a war against the Northern Kingdom?’

The Master was proudly declaring war in front of the crowd.
Realizing what he meant, the crowd reacted in amazement.
Far from being afraid of the word meaning war, they began to welcome it with open arms.

―Waaaaa!! That’s right!!
―Let’s kill those fucking Ningards!!
―We also want to live confidently on earth!!
―Use the church members as slaves and kill Odin’s followers!

Without any instigation, the crowd ardently agreed to the idea of ​​going to war.
The underground city of Paradise was Trinity’s headquarters.
In the first place, it must have been a gathering of demon worshipers who were deeply influenced by the Master’s thoughts.
All the people here were no different from demons born as humans.

‘This is a bit of an incredible piece of information!’

That the Wisemans in the Underground City were planning a war against the Northern Kingdom.
It means that Wiseman will no longer live in hiding, but will wage an all-out war.
If so, the wizards of Ninggard who were hiding will also join the war.
I will officially reveal the information about Wiseman to the Northern Kingdom side and ask them to support the troops.

Soon, information about Wiseman will be known to the Northerners.
In this era, the descendants of the demon king Loki are alive!

The world must be in chaos for a while.

Well, it’s me, I don’t have to worry too much.
Even if a war broke out, I had enough strength to protect myself and my lovers.
It was fortunate that he had spent his energy and developed his strength as a mage.

―I, the Master, declare as the head of the Wisemans. From now on, we devil worshipers will wage an all-out war against the Northern Kingdom. I promise to destroy the Northern and establish our paradise on that land.

– I will ask. Are you ready to fight until victory is won, unyielding, whatever fate awaits you?

-Yes!!!

―Do you believe in the victory of us devil worshipers?

-Yes!!!

-Do you guys want an all-out war? Do you want a second Ragnarok that will turn the world upside down!

-Yes!!!

It was when the speech was perfectly ripe and the mood of the crowd turned into a bomb about to explode.
The Master brought up a new story to the crowd.

―With Trinity’s full power, it can sufficiently destroy the Northern Kingdom. But there is only one stumbling block in war. It is said that a relic from the Age of Mythology was recently excavated in the city of Yoensuu. It is an artifact called ‘Bifrost’ that connects the earth and the heavens.

Yoensu?
I was surprised to see the name of a familiar city pop up.
You didn’t hear me wrong, Master was really referring to the city of Yoensuu where I live!

Since I even mentioned Bifrost, I can’t even take it out or beat it.
It was an ancient artifact excavated by me and my lovers in the underground labyrinth of Yoensu last year.
It was Bifrost, which was being steadily restored at Delia’s research center.

―You shouldn’t leave Bifrost alone. It is a transmitter that twists space-time and connects the Midgard continent and the Celestial World. They say that Ninggard’s wizards are building a laboratory in Joensuu and restoring Bifrost. If Bifrost is restored, the god of Asgard will be able to descend on the continent again. It means that Baldur is coming with a large army along with the celestial Valkyries.

Buzz buzz.

When Bifrost’s presence was revealed, the crowd reacted in horror.
It seems that the artifact called Bifrost is fearful enough to make even the devil worshipers tremble in fear.

‘Is that so when you think about it? When Bifrost is restored, Baldur can descend directly to the continent. For the devil worshipers, the day of destruction is approaching.’

In the past, when Bifrost was operating normally, it is said that the gods of Asgard descended freely on the continent.
It is great to spread the influence indirectly by sprinkling the power of ‘divine power’ now, but there was a time when the gods could directly come to the continent.

Of course, the past is different from now.

Due to the Great War, Baldur is the only surviving god in Heaven.
But even if he was the one and only God of Light, God was God.
Baldur had the power to slaughter demon worshipers.

―Ba, are you saying that Baldur could descend into the present world?!
―That much has to be stopped!!

The urgent voices of the crowd echoed from all sides.

In fact, Odin was alive and well besides Baldur, but for some reason, it seemed that he had no intention of actively punishing the demon worshipers.
Even though Odin knew that the Wiseman existed from a long time ago, he was ignoring them.

He is an old god who never knows what he is thinking.
It’s better not to think that Odin will help in the event of a war.
The only thing the demon worshipers had to be wary of was Baldur, who would ride Bifrost.

The Master explained the goal of the war to the crowd.

-We must destroy Bifrost. He will soon send the army of Emperor Thunder against Yoensu. Armed with the relics of the Thunder God, he will be able to defeat the wizards of the Nine Gards. We will gladly shed Wiseman’s blood for the victory of the war.

―Let Fixer infiltrate the city and scout the surroundings of Bifrost in advance. It would be nice to use hallucination magic to cause the people of the Northern Kingdom to riot. Wouldn’t it be nice if you could instill fear and easily get the city lord to surrender?

-Now is the time for a revolution, my vassals!

The Master’s speech ended with that.
Receiving enthusiastic applause, the Master entered the palace with the attendants. If the Master’s words were true, Trinity’s army was aiming for Joensu somewhere right now.

It was understandable why Fixer Glem was causing terror in Yoensu.

‘I thought I was going to scare Count Harold with indiscriminate terror using hallucination magic! It was a plan to bring an army and easily capture the city that was in chaos due to the riots.’

Terror using magic was actually an effective strategy in war in another world.
It is to frighten the lord and civilians with magic that they cannot cope with, and then get them to surrender.

However, because I was there, the fixer in charge of the terrorist mission was captured.
For the Wisemans, an unexpected variable occurred.

‘Delia! Now that I’ve read most of my important memories, speed up the flow of time again!’
[Yes!]

I asked Delia, who was manipulating the artifact, to speed up the time.
Soon, the speed of memory reproduction accelerated, and the scenery around him changed rapidly.

Of course, it was Fixer Glem who was entrusted with the terrorist mission in the war that Trinity would cause.
Fixer sneaked into Yoensuu with a bell artifact enchanted with hallucination magic.
When he was a student at the Magic Tower, he was a fixer who had lived in Yoensu, so he was given a special mission.

Kwakkwakkwa!!

At last the passage of time has arrived just recently.
I saw Glem, who had passed out after being hit by the frozen orb while fighting with me on the theater road.
With that, the regeneration of memories was over.
When Glem passed out, the surroundings turned black and he could not see anything.

‘I can’t see anything anymore?’
[It means that Fixer’s memory regeneration has ended. I’ll get you out now. He must feel dizzy as he has to work on separating his brother’s soul again.]

After a while, my soul was freed from Glemm and returned to her original body.

Squeeze!

The landscape has completely changed, and I return to Ninggard’s lab.
I could see Delia and her lab staff all around with faces full of anticipation.

“Luke oppa, what did you see in Fixer’s memory? Did you find out where Trinity’s headquarters is? Even if you just find out that, it’s great!”
“Now with your word, we may be able to fulfill our Ninggard’s long-cherished wish! It is to punish the Wiseman.”

It’s not just that I’ve found out where Trinity’s headquarters is.
I found out much more important information than that.

“Ugh…”

The moment the dizziness caused by the out-of-body subsided, I explained to Delia what I had seen in Glem’s memories.
Of course, I couldn’t leave out the Master’s speech that I witnessed in the underground city.

“Uh… Where do I start talking…? Yes, first of all, the leader of Wiseman has declared war against the Northern Kingdom. An army of demon worshipers will soon invade Joensuu. It’s the army of the guy who handles the relics of the God of Thunder. I heard you.”
