9th Circle Lord

The evil spirit calmed down when I promised not to extinguish it.

The evil spirit was so obsessed with being strong that it was because of its desire for survival.

He escaped Naksanor to survive, but was caught in Luther's hands.

So he wanted to build up his strength because he was afraid he might die.

But you don't have to worry about dying now.

Relievingly, the anxiety that had been mixed unintentionally subsided and regained its composure.

The evil spirit spoke with a relaxed face.

"To deal with the power of death, we must prepare thoroughly."

"Ready?"

"Yes, Luther. No, I'm your man, so I call you Captain. If the captain wants to deal with the power of darkness, it is important to understand the essence. Ask me a question. Do you know where the source of darkness started?"

"Source?"

"Darkness can be approached properly by understanding its essence. Do you know why black wizards are crazy? They can't handle the power of darkness properly, so they go crazy. We need to know the essence to deal with the darkness."

This is the explanation of evil spirits.

The creatures born in the darkness themselves deal with the darkness because they are born with the essence.

However, those who do not are mentally contaminated by the energy of death emitted by darkness.

Luther did not listen to the explanation of evil spirits. I did it recklessly, and there were many things I didn't know.

The power of darkness is essentially different from this world of runes.

This was why Luther did not understand the power of evil spirits properly, and why he himself was reluctant to approach the dark world.

However, there was nothing we could not do because the evil spirit, which deals with the power of darkness, actively cooperated.

Unlike before, Luther asked for advice.

"So. Where should I start?"

"Let's get acquainted."

"Do you want me to deal with black demonpower often?”

"Yes, but you have to prepare step by step, because the darkness is very secretive. Soon they will whisper. Long for blood and slaughter. So you have to endure it step by step."

"Who are they whispering?"

"Who's that? The dark guy, Zachage."

"What? Darkness is a conscious being?"

"No way. Just, it's a natural instinct. There are a lot of things that are stuck in human vocabulary.”

The evil spirit kicked his tongue and pointed to his chest.

You know the phrase, "As your heart tells you."”

"Yes."

"It's the same thing. Darkness controls the mind without knowing. It's not about being, it's about being."

"It's hard to understand.”

"That's why I advise you to take steps. Come on, boss, to be honest with you, I'm skeptical as well. It's hard for the boss to go crazy. So let's go safely."

Luther smirked.

"It turns out you're very cautious.”

Wisdom acquired to survive.

"Okay, I'll follow your advice."

Luther decided not to rush as the evil spirit said.

A day has passed like that.

The emperor's edict came down, and the evil spirit that turned into Austin became busy.

The attitude of evil spirits has changed, just as people are different yesterday and today.

Unlike yesterday, there was no sign of irritation.

Early in the morning. The evil spirit came with a new topic that we didn't talk about yesterday.

Everyone was together at the meal.

When the evil spirit appeared, most of them greeted with nervous eyes except for Kalua.

The evil spirit was weak against Luther, but not to others.

Cynical and wicked.

Therefore, they had to raise their guard.

Luther asked.

"What are you doing early in the morning?"

"Now we're officially subordinates, and we can have a meal together, right?”

It was a short time.

He brought up a story that the evil spirit couldn't finish.

"The princes are impatient.”

"The princes?"

"To get me in. To be exact, he's been poking around to get the owner of this shell. What should I do?"

Luther pondered over the words for a moment and made up his mind.

"Now it's time to act like Austin."

The emperor's edict has come down and the princes are eager to capture.

The time has come to block any more attention to evil spirits.

The evil spirit asked Luther.

"Is this the end of his behavior?"

"Yes, you must see the time and leave, so you must coax the prince's men away. Don't dig deep and cause trouble."

Since the situation in Malvin has been influenced by him, he will no longer intervene in the affairs of the human world.

The evil spirit nodded."I'll do that."

"Stay away from us until then. 'Cause you're the one who's gonna get my attention.'

"What's the harm in getting attention?"

"Enemies come."

Luther, who answered firmly, stood up.

"Let's go now."

It's time to start what Dolken and others planned yesterday.

Kallua asked.

"Where are you going?”

"The speculator. I'm going to help attract everyone's skills. Kalua, you and Barcoz go to the Tower of Sage. Now we have to get to our end."

"You'll soon have access to human knowledge."

"Yes, I have something to look into before I go."

"What is it?"

"Let's talk on our way."

He was a guest of Austin, the owner of the mansion, so the treatment was special.

When he announced his departure, he prepared a large carriage for all of his party.

After getting on the wagon, Luther talked to Kalua.

"What do you think of the myth that comes down to oral tradition?"

"Myth?"

"Yes, the dragon, the Elf, etc. myth. It was all untrue and unproven.”

"Well, it's a myth, but I think it's credible."

Mythology is literally a mysterious story. It was also a history that was unclear and unproven.

But Luther mentions mythology.

Luther's expression became serious when Kalua made his position clear.

"Maybe, don't you think the myths are all true?"

Luther did not take myths simply after he learned of the records of High Elf Drexia.

He met a god-like creature like Georges and met evil spirits.

I even encountered a spirit.

So Luther tried to dig deeper into mythology.

Kalua asked with a serious face if he was infected with serious Luther's attitude.

"That could be true. There are all the unknown beings in the myth."

"Yes, so I want to go to the library with a repository of knowledge in the tower of the wise, and get some information about it."

"Well, you're talking about ancient records, aren't you?"

"In fact, there are many beings in mythology. For example, there are half gods like Urenos dealing with lightning, and there are stories of new species that live somewhere deep in the abyss."

In Luther's explanation, Kalua clearly realized what he had intended.

"You're thinking of finding out for yourself if they're real?”

"Right, it's not a losing business even if it's a vain business. So I'm going to give it a shot."

"Okay, Master, I'll go through all the books in the tower of the wise man here and get some information."

"Barcoz, if you need anything, ask me actively. I'll get you what you want."

When his name rose, Barcoz, who had been listening to it with concentration, said like a nail.

"You don't have to worry about that at all. The wise man's tower is rotten water, corrupt and cooperative in solicitation and bribery. I will give Miss Kalua access to the tower of the wise without any problems."

"Okay, then you two go to the tower of the wise. We'll be in the speculation market."

"Okay."

A group of people listening to their conversations were pondering and soon nodded.

Luther's idea made sense.

Dragons were directly mentioned and faced the reality of the spirit.

The beings in the myth are shown one by one.

Perhaps, as Luther said, the gods and other beings in mythology were actually somewhere on the continent.

The place where the party arrived was a speculation ground with a bet.

It was a place full of mercenaries and fighters without work, and as much as it took money, it was a place where all kinds of conspirators came and went.

Most of the speculation centers were circular stadiums, and so were Palkaram, the western part of the capital, where Luther's group arrived.

When I arrived, there was a loud roar outside the stadium.

Elena opened her mouth.

"I've never been to a speculation center before."

"Let's go."

Speaking incoherently, Luther arrived straight at the entrance of the speculation center.

At the entrance, trained craftsmen were watching tightly with their arms crossed.

Luther stood in front of them.

"Who's in charge?"

Jang-han frowned at the sudden question and looked over Luther.

Like a wizard, he is a young man who has no cane and looks young.

Still, it seems unusual to find the person in charge first.

asked Janghan.

"Who are you?"

"Guide me."

Luther's eyes were radiant at the command. At the moment, the expressions of the disabled people relaxed and spoke politely.

"Follow me."

After entering the inside at the guidance of a enchanted man, he headed to the office where the general manager of Palkaram was in charge."This is it."

"Good job."

After the funeral, Luther suddenly opened the office.

Inside was an old man with a serious face looking at the documents.

The old man frowned at Luther, who popped up without knocking.

"What's your guy?"

"Look at my eyes."

Luther had no intention of struggling.

However, I paid more attention to enchantment magic.

The old man, who was startled, soon pretended to know at Luther.

"Now you're here. Did you bring a good gladiator?"

The old man regarded Luther as a speculator.

Speculation dealers are those who introduce gladiators to gladiators, and Luther had the ability to use them in the old man's planted memories.

Luther nodded.

"Yes, see for yourself."

He introduced Dolken and others pointed behind him. The old man's gaze at the four people narrowed.

"It's kind of poor on the outside. How's everyone doing?”

"They're all intermediate at Expert."

"What?"

The surprised old man admired.

"It's been made up of really great people.”

"What do you think?"

"I'll let you in right now. But there's nothing to lose. We have to win no matter what.”

"What's the transfer fee?"

"Don't worry about that. If you win, you'll get paid more than usual."

The old man immediately made a formation.

Each party's opponent has been decided.

All of them were successive winners and talented players at the Intermediate level of Expert.

"Get ready."

The process is quick and fast.

The group, who had been watching with a puzzled look on their faces, had to move straight to prepare for the gladiatorial fight without saying anything.

The old man caught Luther trying to leave.

"We have to win. All the opponents are winning in a row, so the bets are on one side. I'm losing a lot of money thanks to you."

"Of course I'll win.”

"That's not enough. I'm telling you to put on an expression when you launch those gladiators."

"A facial expression?"

"Pretend to be weak on purpose. The gladiators you've brought must be capable. I'll bet you the money, and you'll win."

In other words, when it was first presented to the audience, pretend to be weak to raise the dividend rate.

Luther readily accepted.

"I'll do that."

"I trust you. There's not a lot of winning streaks these days, but there's a lot of financial losses."

Luther turned away from the old man's pain and headed straight to the speculation ground.

The group in the waiting room faced the eyes of gladiators staring fiercely as if they were going to eat.

I'm going to have a fight with them soon.

It was held suddenly, but as always, it was ready.
