6th Candidate (3)
“Hey, who is this! It’s Naban! Is it Naban?”
A sudden uproar.
After Theo and Naban finished their conversation, they were about to return to the banquet hall when they heard a sound and stopped walking.
A man was walking towards here.
A handsome man with messy hair like a lion’s mane, but whose eyes shine with a noble glow.
‘Thorkel Ragnar… …!’
Theo clenched his fists at the unexpected encounter with a rival for the throne.
Naban greeted Thorkel with a trembling expression.
“Oh, yeah. Well, it’s been a while.”
“How long has it been? Since the opening ceremony, I’ve been begging and pleading to see you, but you haven’t even shown your face. Are you upset?”
“There are family circumstances, and I’m not feeling well either. It was like that, huh.”
“But you could have come to our class reunions once in a while. You know how much I wanted to take you to the Black Iron Age.”
“That’s right… me?
“By the way, how have you been? It’s nice to meet you here.”
I was always cynical when dealing with people.
I felt particularly awkward when dealing with Thorkell.
Should I say that it looks like the energy is going fast?
Since Thorkell was known for being very sociable, I felt like his personality didn’t work.
‘A cynic who treats super popular kids? Well, I guess so. It’s kind of funny, isn’t it?’
It was a side of Naban that he had never seen before, and Theo was also looking at it with curiosity.
“… … So, Ayan, that guy is now in our Black Iron Corps. Isn’t that funny?”
“Uh, um, uh. I guess so.”
“Oh, I was going to ask you how you’ve been living, but I ended up talking too much about myself. I’m sorry, dude.”
“Ah… … No. Nothing.”
“By the way, who’s that guy next to you? He seems to have a really famous friend.”
Thorkel’s gentle gaze turned to Theo.
‘You knew me as expected.’
Theo was initially convinced that it was he, and not Naban, that Thorkel was looking for.
The rumor that the new 6th candidate had received the Sword’s Bead must have been enough to make the 5th candidate, who had been sitting tight, shake their butts.
Theo greeted her politely and politely.
“I am Theo Ragnar. It is a pleasure to meet you, the renowned Black Iron Captain.”
Thorkel’s smile spread.
He put his hand forward.

“It’s Thorkel. You’re finally meeting the friend you’ve only heard rumors about? I heard he went to Baek Gap-yong’s base. What a shame. I wanted to bring him to our side, ugh!”
“Thank you for your kind suggestion. But the favor I received from you, Lord Marong, is so great.”
“Yes. It wasn’t meant to be. But can’t we maintain a good relationship? Our Black Iron Corps and White Armored Dragon Corps often carry out joint operations?”
“I would also be honored if I could maintain a good relationship with Lord Thorkel.”
“Hahaha. You’re a good talker, huh?”
Thorkel seemed to like Theo’s polite yet dignified attitude.
That’s why the regret didn’t leave my face.
“I’m still getting greedy. I wish I could make a better offer… … .”
Thorkel glanced towards the banquet hall and smiled bitterly.
“If that happens, there will be too many gentlemen who want to cook me right away, so it won’t work… … .”
“… … ?”
Theo could not understand what Thorkell meant, but soon he tried to shake his hand, thinking that there must be something else.
however,
Parrr-
My hands didn’t move at all.
Thorkel was looking at him with a mischievous face.
‘You seem to want to test me?’
It seemed like he wanted to see his own reaction process.
There is no reason to refuse.
Ragnar is a traditional northern warrior.
The basis of conversation was ultimately power.
Gooooo-
Theo’s magic quickly flowed, pushing away Thorkel’s hand.
“oh.”
There was a twinkle in Thorkel’s eyes.
It must have been a pressure that was difficult to relieve even for a practical examination, but who would have thought that it could be relieved so easily?
But what’s more surprising is,
‘I was released before I could even read the essence of magic.’
In fact, his purpose was to calmly observe Theo’s characteristics and temperament while assessing his magical power.
It was over before that, so there was nothing to figure out.
‘It seems like there are many other things hidden. It hasn’t been long since you received the Sword’s Beads, so there’s no way you’ve already digested them… … Our father must have been very excited.’
It was unfortunate, but there was a small price to pay for it.
‘Isn’t it fun?’
In the meantime, I only had to worry about the other candidates who were my older siblings, so I was just chasing them.
Now that I was in a position where I was being chased, the feeling was very strange.

Of course, I didn’t hate it.
Struggle is the essence of Ragnar.
The moment you reject it and become annoyed by it, you are bound to be eliminated.
“Thank you for your consideration, Thorkel.”
“What is Thorkel between brothers, Thorkel? From now on, in private, just call me hyung.”
“Yes, I understand, brother.”
“I told you to call me comfortably, hyung.”
Theo did not miss the fact that Thorkell had acknowledged him.
Thorkel changed the subject, looking back and forth between Theo and Naban.
“By the way, how did you two meet? It’s not like you two would have anything in common.”
“I met you while investigating the upper part of Ceres.”
“Huh? At that time? Naban, why were you there? Oh, were you at the place where you were suspected of being involved?”
Thorkel seemed to be unaware of the full details of the situation.
Naban nodded indifferently.
“Yes. At that time, I came to serve this guy as my lord.”
“… … Huh?”
Thorkel tilted his head in momentary disbelief, and Theo’s gaze also hurriedly turned in that direction.
But even after making the bombshell announcement, Naban remained calm.
As expected, he had an unpredictable personality.
“It’s exactly as you heard. There’s nothing more to talk about, so I’ll leave now.”
Naban waved his hand as if he didn’t want to bother answering and left.
It was at that moment that Thorkel, startled, tried to grab his shoulder.
“Hey! Speak properly… …!”
Kwaaaaang!
Before he could finish speaking, an explosion was suddenly heard from the banquet hall.
Theo, Thorkel, and Naban, who was leaving, simultaneously turned their gazes in their direction.
At that moment, I saw it.
Gooooo!
A violent wave that shook not only the banquet hall, but also the sky above it and even the Suseon Palace.
-Gyaaaah!
-what’s the matter!
-Ma, Ma-ryong and Woo, Whoa, Won-ryong collided!
-It’s the fight of the nine dragons! The fight of the nine dragons!
The three of them quickly ran towards it without saying who would go first.

Crackle! Crackle!
Gooooo-
Two rough forces clashed repeatedly.
The tables and furniture surrounding the two had long since been smashed, and people looked at them with fearful eyes as they moved out of the attack range.
A natural disaster was imminent.
Just by creating momentum, this much is enough. Are they really the same person?
There were even some people who had such doubts.
But whatever.
Wolfgang and Julius, who had actually caused this trouble, seemed to not care at all.
“What… … did you say, Captain Baek Gap-yong? Hehehe. Is it because this old man is getting older? He must be hallucinating.”
“Oh. At that age, you should be sitting in the back room and shitting on the walls. Why did you come out here?”
“… … Now, are you saying that?”
“You said you didn’t hear me properly, so I’ll say it again.”
One corner of Julius’s mouth twisted sharply.
“I asked if you wanted to get beaten up.”
“How dare you!”
Gooooooo-
A gust of wind centered around Wolfgang swept across the area.
It seemed as if sparks were flying through his wrinkled eyes.
but,
Kukookung!
The powerful momentum that Wolfgang had created suddenly began to crumble under the enormous pressure that came down from above.
It was as if a giant dragon was glaring at us from beyond the barrier.
“… … !”
Wolfgang’s body froze stiffly.
It feels like all the alcohol I’ve been drinking has disappeared at once.
‘this!’
At that moment, Wolfgang remembered.
yesterday.
The sight of Julius storming into the Senate alone when the arrogant Baek Gap-yong-gi-dae’s senior inspector lost one of his arms.
At that time, more than half of the elders representing Ragnar had their limbs broken in the opposite direction.
Among them was myself!
“Did I tell you clearly?”
Julius no longer treated him with respect.
The low voice brought back vivid memories of that day that Wolfgang had barely managed to keep buried.

-If you try to use this incident as an excuse to harm the child, or do something secretly. No! The day that tears flow from the child’s eyes again. Then.
“At the time, you had to save face so it was over, but I won’t let you off the hook a second time.”
-I’ll pull your arms out from your shoulders as well.
Why do the Julius of that time, when he issued a chilling warning that he would bring about the end, and the Julius of now seem to overlap?
“sleep……!”
Wolfgang shouted something in anxiety,
Quaddukduk-
Julius was already holding Wolfgang’s right wrist, pulling it to the other side.
Kwakwakwakwa!
A clash of tense momentum.
The clash of momentum between the two Laurel Inspectors was so intense that it seemed like it would bring down the palace in an instant.
Cold sweat ran down Wolfgang’s forehead.
But that match ended soon after.
Ugh-
With a terrible sound of bones breaking and crumbling,
Choaaaak!
My right arm was ripped off whole.
Phew-
“Ahhhhhhh!”
Wolfgang, who suddenly lost one of his arms, screamed.
Julius’s eyes were shining menacingly amid the blood spraying everywhere.
-Oh, Your Majesty the Senior!
-Protect the Chief Senator!
– Captain Baek Gap-yong hacked the senior leader!
The surrounding area became chaotic.
Choo choo choo choo!
In an instant, several inspectors descended from the sky and aimed their swords at Julius.
-It’s a legal test!
-The court of law has appeared… …!
“Captain Baek Gap-yong, we will arrest you as a criminal who injured the head of the Senate. Please come with us.”
The legal examiner who brought up the subject said so, but his face clearly showed a tense expression.
That was because Julius wasn’t even paying attention to them.
There wasn’t even an answer.
‘We need to isolate them quickly before things get any worse… …!’
The legal examiner gritted his teeth, anticipating the storm that was about to come.

“colon!”
“Don’t worry. I’ll take care of this.”
“That’s not what I mean… …!”
Evelyn couldn’t understand Julius.
I knew he cared for his men, but what he was doing now was a self-destructive act that could only lead to him being pushed into a political defensive position.
Because on the surface, there was no apparent damage to Evelyn.
The Julius she knew was a quirky and playful rascal, but he was a man of deep heart, just like Ed.
But now, there was no sign of that at all.
It’s so emotional.
As if it were his own work.
‘… … .’
Evelyn’s eyes tremble as she looks at Julius’s wide back.
“Ugh… …! You made me like this because of a woman? Captain Baek Gap-yong! You must be crazy!”
Wolfgang, who was being protected by the legal inspectors, straightened his back and shouted.
The right arm is the pride and life of an inspector.
Today he lost both his pride and his life.
“Shouldn’t you be thankful that you didn’t rip that thing off your shoulder?”
“This crazy guy is going to do it!”
The moment Wolfgang’s eyes widened at the arrogant remark,
“Captain Baek Gap-yong! You must explain this matter properly now!”
Parallel!
They appeared one by one in the sky, spraying powerful energy.
The expressions on the legal examiners’ faces hardened.
The situation we were worried about has finally come to pass.
Although the individual influence of the Senate’s elite may not have been as great as that of Julius, together they were enough to easily overwhelm the banquet hall.
Even though Wolfgang has become a kite with a broken string, he is still the head responsible for the Senate.
The humiliation of him was tantamount to a challenge to the Senate.
“That’s good timing. You, you, you, you, you.”
But Julius still didn’t blink an eye and marked each familiar face with his hand.
The elders’ faces crumpled as they wondered what was going on.
“You were in the Senate at that time, right? Then you remember what I said, right?”
The faces of the quick-witted elders quickly hardened.
“It’s annoying, so everyone, put out an arm. I’ll cut it really nicely.”
“… … !”
“… … !”
Advertisements
“… … !”
“Your arrogance is sky-high!”
Paaaaaaa-
Chachachang!
The elders’ momentum was now sharply mixed.
He pulled out his sword as if he couldn’t stand to see it any longer.
It was at that moment that Julius coldly drew his sword, saying that it was what he had hoped for.
“At my daughter’s birthday party, how dare you, what the-?”
Wow!
The murderous aura that filled the banquet hall shattered like a glass curtain in an instant.
The eyes of Julius, the elders, and the crowd were all focused on the roof of the palace.
there.
With her back to the moon, Princess Suseon, Bingryong Niel, was looking down at the banquet hall with a cold face.
