How to Survive at the Academy-Chapter 226

To you who survived (1)

When the Princess of Persica came out of the Imperial Library, the soldiers standing guard at the entrance bowed their heads politely.

Like the soldiers guarding the Rose Palace, the angles were neatly alive. Even though the door suddenly opened and came out, there was no sign of embarrassment.

Persica looked out the window and realized that the sun was setting. By the way, the festival period was almost over.

The Persica princess, who had been stuck in the library throughout the festival, did not feel a particularly heated atmosphere. I am not the type to enjoy the heat of festivals like this, nor am I the type of person who wants to go out like that.

However, there are so many tiring affairs such as imperial power disputes and imperial meetings that I can’t stay stuck in the library… This festival period was a good opportunity to spend time surrounded by books. novelbuddy.cσ๓

It seemed that Selah took advantage of this opportunity and went on a tour with Emperor Chloel.

It is important to leave a good impression on Emperor Chlo?l, but it is also quite important to gather more power in the imperial family while all the important people are absent.

Persica was thinking of recruiting the Prime Minister and important escorts while Selahha was away.

Then, I got too engrossed in the books in the library. You should have come at least two days early.

“Shall we prepare a meal, Princess Persica?”

“No, it’s done. but…”

Looking out the window of the Rose Palace corridor, I saw a spire that stretched out to the side of the central palace.

Although it is a spire built for military purposes, its role has faded a lot after the succession of the Taepyeongseongdae. It was now used for private use by one of the members of the imperial family.

“No one is watching right now, so I want to stop by the spire.”

“…”

“Why are you doing something I shouldn’t be doing?”

Emperor Chloel was extremely reluctant to let anyone approach the spire. Because Hwang’s painful fingers are hidden there.

The three princesses were well aware of that fact, so they didn’t even come close.

Three princesses competing to succeed the Chlo?l imperial family with their own values. They are the pride of this dazzling imperial family. However, above these three shining princesses, there was an eldest son who was actually appointed as the next emperor.

Crown Prince Lindon Chloel.

At one time, he was at the side of Emperor Chloel and supported him, and he was the man who firmly defended the position of successor than anyone else.

The only male among the immediate descendants of the current Chloel imperial family, and a solid monarch who was actually appointed as the successor.

He was the older brother of the three princesses, and he was a man with the qualities of a saint who always looked down on the people with an intelligent head and sensible eyes.

In the days when the sound Lindon was firmly in the center, even such a story circulated among the courtiers.

You are an ideal monarch with only the strengths of the three princesses, each with a certain color…

This Chloel Empire, at least one generation will enjoy more peace…

It was also a symbol of hope.

The beginning of the imperial dispute over the three princesses was when, one day, Lindon Chloel suddenly abandoned all of his qualifications as heirs of the imperial power and was locked in the spire.

Since then, the seat of the heir to the imperial power has become vacant, and Emperor Chlo?l begins to hesitate as to which of the three princesses to appoint as the next heir… The long history of feuds begins.

By now, Lindon Chlo?l has become a scoundrel who does not come out of the room. It was such a tragic gloom that the eternity of those days was colorless.

The cause… surprisingly, no one knows.

Neither the aide, the imperial prime minister, the butler nor the guards, who were aide to Prince Lindon right next to him, could not figure out the cause.

One day, the man suddenly lost all motivation and purpose and locked himself in his room.

There were no foreshadowings, and there were no major incidents like this. No matter how much he asked, he didn’t even give an answer… A man who was helpless in everything and just became a human being who couldn’t die.

Lindon’s sudden downfall was a great wound to Emperor Chloel.

For the first few months, I waited and waited, thinking that I would definitely feel refreshed, but as time went on, Lindon’s condition only got worse.

Somehow, he’s just locked up in his room with a dry, sloppy look. Almost without even eating the food the servants brought… In the room on the top of the spire, in front of the fireplace, he was crying and laughing out loud.

When the heir of the imperial family became such a wretched man, the imperial rulers completely isolated him in the spire.

Led by Crepin Rothtailer, who was still on active duty, he decided to take care of the Crown Prince and avoid exposing him to outsiders as much as possible until he came to his senses. Because there was nothing good to publicize the fact that the Crown Prince of a country had gone crazy.

Prince Lindon renounced the position of heir himself.

Only that fact… was publicized.

Since then, many of his servants have speculated on why Prince Lindon became strange, but no one came up with the correct answer. I’m just saying that the excessive stress accumulated and then one day, it put a lot of mental pressure on me and my head went crazy.

On the one hand, conspiracy theories also circulated.

It was the actions of some of the princesses who had the will of the emperor to make Prince Lindon like that.

Selah, Persica, Penia.

There is someone who made Prince Lindon to give up the imperial power, so he thought of taking over it.

And it was the Princess of Persica who raised the most suspicion.

Before Lindon became strange, it was the Princess of Persica who was closest to Prince Lindon.

This is because, in his spare time, he went to the library to chat with Persica, drank tea together, and discussed various situations.

As the Princess of Persica who spent the longest time with Prince Lindon, she is said to be the most easy-to-use person with the Crown Prince.

Of course, if you gossip about such rumors in the presence of the imperial family, it’s just right to be sentenced to death.

However… there is no way that the rumors among the servants would not have reached Persica’s ears.

‘It’s a funny story.’

As she climbed the stairs of the spire, Princess Persica snorted.

Beyond a few servants who liked conspiracy theories, in recent years even Selaha used to look at Persica with a suspicious look.

As if he had really done anything to Prince Lindon.

When the pieces of truth cannot be seen at all, the crowd begins to roughly fit the truth as it is.

What made Prince Lindon strange is the Princess of Persica.

There are truths that seem easy to put together at first glance, and there are bound to be people who fall for it.

However, Princess of Persica also doesn’t know why Prince Lindon was locked up in her room.

He only dealt with Prince Lindon, who came to the library because he communicated best with Persica.

She knows a lot more than expected and has deep insight, so Persica also has fond memories of dealing with Lindon.

Having tea on the terrace and deep discussions about current issues, or recommending books to each other in the corner of the library… It wasn’t a bad memory.

Even if it was Lindon, even if he ascended to the position of emperor, he thought that he was a convincing saint.

It’s only now that it’s like this, though.

– smart.

Persica knocked and opened the door.

When Emperor Chloel was in the Imperial Household, it was a room that he couldn’t even go to because he was noticing.

Foll𝑜w current novℯls on ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm.

It is the perfect time to meet Prince Lindon when everyone’s eyes are turned outward on the occasion of the festival.

I have met Lindon many times, but every time there is no difference.

Still, it was a habit to go to the spire whenever there was an opportunity, even if it was just in case.

Thinking that there would be no special harvest this time, I entered the dimly lit room.

I blinked a few times as I entered a room with several curtains and only dark candles lit.

Then, the eyes darken to the darkness… A shocking scenery fills the pupils.

“Lee, brother Lindon!”

Persica screamed and ran into the room.

As this is a spire that even the guards cannot enter without permission, he had to attack directly with his dwarf body.

Because it was the moment Lindon was about to put her neck in the rope hanging from the ceiling.

The moment he was about to end his life, as Persica took hold of his exhausted stomach and pushed him away, he fell from his chair and rolled helplessly on the floor.

“Heh, heh, heh… heck, heck…”

“Brother Lindon. What the hell are you thinking?!”

“Damn… Shit…! Again, I couldn’t die… Again…!”

Lindon clenched her teeth and swallowed the tears.

“You’re a pathetic human who doesn’t even have the courage to die… I’ve been staring at the rope for hours, but I can’t find the courage to endure the pain of death… the courage… the courage… !”

“Calm down, brother Lindon! Why are you trying to die!”

“Persica… Persica… Now, no more… I don’t have time… Now I really have to make a decision…”

Lyndon, who was lying on the floor, pulled out a small dagger from a nearby armor-shaped ornament, and held out the handle toward Persica. There was a sense of urgency in his trembling hands.

“Persica… you… will you finish me…? The servants will never grant you such a request…”

“Would you like me to do such a bizarre request? Calm down, brother Lindon!”

The figure of Lindon slowly revealing itself in the dark. In other words, it is the lung itself.

The shiny blonde hair has become brittle and clings to her cheeks, and her lifeless eyes and thin body are like a scarecrow.

Persica took another breath as she saw the mourning.

“There’s no reason for this… it’s not…”

“I… I don’t have the courage to live any longer… What’s the use of Hwanggwon, and what’s the use of all peace…”

“Brother…”

“I am afraid of what lies ahead. Why did you know this Why did you imprison yourself in this swamp of fear, knowing the facts you don’t need to know…! Damn… I miss the times when I was ignorant. I miss myself who didn’t know anything…! If you dare to know, it makes you feel so dull that you are in pain…!”

“Really… it’s getting worse…”

It is impossible to find Persica and her appearance when she was sitting at the library desk in search of knowledge.

Persica first dragged Prince Lindon and put him on a chair. When he shoved the cold water that the servant had had brought into the lean man’s mouth, he gasped and began to drink the water.

“For now, calm down and start calming down.”

“Persica… Persica… Soon… Everything will be over… I’m afraid… I don’t want to suffer… I want to leave… Rather than surviving and struggling with pain, you I want to risk my life…”

Repeatedly making an unfamiliar sound, Lindon held back tears.

Still, it seemed to have calmed down for a moment, and Persica sat down on the other side of the sofa, wiping her sweat.

I’ve been here just in case, but I don’t think the words will work properly.

Still, if Persica had not come, a catastrophe would have occurred. It was a situation where the whole country almost fell into chaos when the Crown Prince of a country took his own life.

Taking a moment to catch her breath, Persica looked around the room.

It’s still a place that doesn’t feel like a human being at all.

Ordinarily, he was just sitting still like a corpse, or the bookshelves and furniture were piled up with dust.

It seems that the servants periodically come and clean it up, check Lindon’s condition and report it to Emperor Chloel… Now, even that cycle seems to be getting longer.

I wasn’t meant to be like this.

Persica let out a deep sigh, then suddenly turned her gaze to the ring with the imperial design on the table.

“Hey, this is…”

Upon closer inspection, it was a precious ring that was passed down only to the heirs of the imperial family.

Possession of this ring means that he has been promised the seat of the next emperor in this glorious family of Chlo?l.

“Still… your brother had it…”

It is not very good that the treasures of this imperial family, which have been passed down only to the Crown Prince since the founding of the country, are rolling on the table like this.

Anyway, Lindon gave up the throne. I completely lost the will to live in the first place. It was absurd to entrust him with such treasures of the imperial family.

It seemed right for Persica to retrieve it and deliver it to Emperor Chloel. It was a moment to organize my thoughts and reach out with the ring.

“No, Persica!”

– Kudangtang!

Lyndon, who had been constantly muttering to herself, abruptly stood up from her seat and grabbed the ring.

Lyndon, who fell to the floor again due to the recoil, sobbed uncontrollably, holding the ring tightly in her arms.

“No, no, no, no, no! Don’t touch the ring! Please, never touch the ring! Especially you never! Not like you, Persica!”

“Oh, bro…?”

“This can’t be…! When you know everything, you… maybe you…”

“What do you mean, brother? Please tell me straight.”

Persica put her hand on Lindon’s chin, which was pathetic on the floor, and stroked it once.

“So… you don’t have to suffer alone. What the hell, what did you know, what does that ring have to do with… Please tell me… Why do you keep talking…? There were many opportunities to talk…!”

“Persica… But… I…”

“Brother.”

Persica looked down at Lindon with a determined face.

Lindon looked up at Persica with a pathetic expression on her face, and then slowly relaxed her arms.

“Yeah… Anyway… it’s all over…”

“…”

“This ring is… a ring that is passed down only to the princes of the imperial family… but it is also a key… the only one who knows about it is me now. I found out by chance.”

As if resigning from something, Prince Lindon began pouring out the words that had been hidden in his heart.

“Great Sage Sylvania.”

A completely unexpected name came out of his mouth.

“Once upon a time, he was a great scholar who lived in this Chloel imperial court and studied Aspect Magic…”

“…Yes. But… you were exiled to Aken Island for hurting Prince Lienfeel at the time.”

After saying those words, Persica had no choice but to swallow her breath for a moment.

At the time when Sylvania was in its heyday, Lienfel was the heir and Crown Prince of the Chlo?l family.

He must have also carried this ring on his body. Because this historical treasure of the imperial family is only granted to the crown prince of a country.

“…”

“At that time, the Great Sage Sylvania… committed a great sin and apologized to Crown Prince Lienfel. And, as the least of the victims, I let him know what she was really working on.”

“How do you know… your brother?”

“I went into her secret lab. There, all the research she had accomplished while living in this imperial family was organized in an easy-to-understand manner. All the study journals and records remained intact.”

Persica took a deep breath, shaking her pupils.

“The laboratory where Sylvania originally stayed… is not in the Rose Palace, but in the Lily Palace…!”

“The records there are all superficial. Indeed, the records she hid and studied… lie beyond the deepest bookshelves of the Imperial Library…”

In fact, Persica’s voice did not come out.

Prince Lindon did not enjoy visiting the Imperial Library. I just came to see Princess Persica because she was always there.

Prince Lindon… While going in and out of the library to meet Persica, he accidentally discovered a secret laboratory in Sylvania.

And, maybe it’s a joke from heaven… He also had the key to enter there.

“Great Sage Sylvania engraved a magical imprint on this ring to enter her secret laboratory. Anytime… so that Prince Lienfel can access Sylvania’s research.”

“…”

“…and what happened to Prince Lienfel after that… Was it in the record?”

Historically, this is a famous fact.

Crown Prince Rienfell completely disappears from history from one day onwards.

According to the records, it is only said that he stayed away from the world and had no intention of the imperial power. It’s a sudden story, but it’s a historical fact, so everyone just accepted it that way.

“In the lab… what… did you see…?”

“It’s… it’s…”

Lindon began to tremble as her teeth clenched hard.

“Damn… If I’ve told you this far… Even if I shut up, you’ll go check it out yourself…”

“…”

“Listen up, Persica…! Don’t set your mind on Aspect Magic…! If you relate too deeply to the zodiac, if you try to get too close to the providence of the world…! It will be eaten as it is…! Something like a huge darkness, something like the providence guarded by God… I’m eaten whole and I’m out of my mind…!”

What the hell is this guy talking about?

I can’t quite understand it, but I’m talking about a strange truth.

“I tasted the piece. I felt like I was going to turn into a madman. Even a dull human like me could intuit it so easily…! It is probably the last line drawn by the god who protects the providence of the world…! A lowly human should not try to penetrate the providence of the world any further than this… As they say, this is the last critical point allowed by God’s mercy…!”

“…Brother…Brother…?”

“That fact… the intelligent great wise man… probably didn’t know…”

The Holy Spirit Magic is the magic that grasps the providence of the world and twists it.

It’s okay to simply analyze the system and take a little bit of its power.

However, if you are completely immersed in it and go to the realm where you want to completely control the laws of the world… Human reason will melt away in front of that enormous power. going to become a madman.

The Great Sage Sylvania was unaware of that fact.

Nevertheless, she did not stop her research.

What is the reason? Just because of a passion for learning? Is it just because of that simple curiosity of wanting to know the truth of the world?

Only the Great Sage Sylvania herself knows the reason.

“…Brother.”

“Please, please don’t do this. Persica.”

Lyndon appeals with tears in her eyes.

“End my life. I’m a scumbag who doesn’t even have the courage to die… I mean, with your hands… Close my eyes. Turn your eyes away from the coming catastrophe… Allow me to close my eyes comfortably… Please… Please… Persica…”

Persica, somehow controlling her trembling body, slumped down on the sofa again.

The lower lip trembles, and the unstoppable vibration continues in the chest. The goosebumps rising from the spine are now natural.

Eventually, Persica picked up the dagger with trembling hands.

Lyndon also continued to sob and trembled, then loosened the arm that was holding the ring and opened it.

A wide chest that looks just right for stabbing is revealed.

– That’s right, Tang!

However, Persica threw the dagger on the floor and quickly picked up the ring.

Without even thinking to narrow the surprised pupil, he opened the door and ran out.

She rushes down the stairs of the steeple while lifting the hem of her dress with both hands.

Persica’s eyes… kept trembling.

* There was a user who used the name ‘Peperopepe’.

He was a user who used to talk about the bosses of ＜Sylvania’s Failed Swordsman> or write a boss battle strategy.

The first time he made a name for himself in the community was when he completely analyzed the first act boss Yenica Failover and left a detailed strategy on the day of release.

After that, he is the user who managed to defeat all of Act 2 boss ‘Glast’, Act 3 boss ‘Lucy Meiryl’, Act 4 boss ‘Crepin Ross Taylor’, and Act 5 boss ‘Sung Chang-ryong Velbrok’ in the shortest time.

In addition to the unbelievable attack speed, clean and perfect information organization, and even detailed back information that ordinary users are not aware of. Because of that, rumors were circulating.

In fact, it’s like being an employee of a developer, writing a screenplay, jokingly speaking… a human who came out of that world…

There were many other half-joking rumors, but the identity of the user was never revealed. No one was actively pursuing them.

Well, anyway, the high-quality strategy or information he left behind was important, but who he was was not really important.

From my point of view, who enjoyed ＜Failed Swordsman of Sylvania> quite impressively… Such strategies were also the subject of investigation.

Once, I searched for the nickname he used on overseas portals, and also searched for the e-mail address he wrote.

I was curious about how he knew all about the game so well… It was because he wanted to communicate personally.

Well, it’s nice to get in touch… or just do it if you want to.

As I was old enough to find and read various setting books, this person might know more about information I did not know.

However, there was no contact. There was no information to find out where the man named ‘Peperopepe’ was and what he was doing.

However, in a corner of a distant Internet site… I was able to find traces of the blog he used alone.

Surprisingly, there were pictures of characters that could be seen in ＜ Failed Sword Castle of Sylvania > as a backup file.

These are the pictures I saw in the set-up book.

The image of Yenica Palerover standing tall in the Student Union with Glaskan’s right arm in the background.

Glast the seeker looking up at the stars from the top of the magic tower.

A figure of Lucy Meryl wearing a witch hat with dozens of layers of magic circles at the top of the right mountain.

Crepin Rothtailer sits loftily amid the rubble of a burning building rooftop.

And even the appearance of Seongchangryong Velbrok, who floats solidly in the sky of Aken Island and contemplates the world.

The pictures of the bosses that decorate the end of each act… were arranged like a setting picture.

However, when I looked down the wheel of the mouse to the end, there was one more unknown picture.

I couldn’t figure out what it was just by looking at the picture, so I didn’t even remember it. Something like a dark, large magical door was opened, and in front of it, only the back of the person wearing the robe was visible. He is holding a large and colorful cane.

The place looks like a dark basement. It looks like the flow of magic is spreading.

As far as I know, there are no scenes or characters like that in ＜ Failing Swordsman of Sylvania >.

Unlike other paintings, is it a painting from another place? In any case, it was unclear whether the material was worth digging into deeply.

It was late. I had to get ready to go to sleep. I left the mouse alone for a while, so I went to wash myself.

If you place the mouse cursor over an image file, image information may pop up following the cursor after a while.

The name of the file that pops up and disappears for a while, and the man who was watching cannot see it.
