Chapter 598 - Parliament and Black Tower 2 (2/2)

“I heard that you all went to Yemaek with Prince Jo Won-rak. Are you all doing fine? Hold on, how did you even contact me from the Southern Continent?”

From what she knew, for a magic communication to be initiated from the Southern Continent to the Northern one, a special item had to be there.

It would be impossible for a call to be done without an artifact such as an antenna, which Luke had.

-Well, Yemaek Royal family… Long-distance communication… A treasure made it possible… So.

According to Eli’s explanation, the treasure was made by the excellent craftsmen during the time of old Yemaek.

It was just a replica, but it was pretty much like an artifact from the ancient Abaron Empire.

It was called a treasure, and it had the function of amplifying magic communication.

‘Maybe, it was similar to the antenna that he made?’

However, it wasn’t such an important thing.

-A word with His Majesty… I need. Please, call him.

“Your Majesty is out of office. You will have to wait.”

Erwin immediately sent word to the parliament.

However, Luke appeared earlier than she thought.

It was because he was already back from his visit to the parliament.

And on his way back, he encountered the attendant sent by Erwin, and he walked quickly to speak to Eli.

“I heard the reports that Jo Won-gyun took control of Song Imperial family. So, you are in Yemaek now?”

-Yes, Your Majesty. Unfortunately, we failed… By the time we went, everything…

The representative of the fairies that were commissioned by Luke only chose the strongest from each race and sent them to the Southern Continent.

However, it was already late when the fairies got there.

Well, the result was rather worse. They felt bad for even being there.

Jo Won-gyun’s men, who grasped the contact between Jo Won-rak and the fairies, accused the 3rd crown prince of planning a revolt with goblins of the Northern Continent.

Eventually, the fairy warriors escaped with Jo Won-rak, who was framed, and evacuated him to Yemaek, the nation of his fiancé.

“That happened, huh? But why are you reporting this to me over such a long-distance device?”

If it was such a simple situation or report, all they had to do was inform him with the help of the trade lines.

However, they could only use the Yemaek Royal Family’s treasure to contact him, and there was a strong reason behind it.

-The Song Empire… declared war on Yemaek…

”What!?”

-There are already troops on the border… The movement isn’t that huge…

According to Eli’s explanation, the Song Empire revealed their intentions and then declared war on Yemaek.

The cause of the war being that Yemaek didn’t release the 3rd prince, the sinner of the empire.

However, considering the fact that large troops were being deployed on the borders, their intention to occupy Yemake was clear.

‘Tch, the Song Empire is trying to spill blood in the Southern Continent? If that happens, things will go according to Arsene’s will.’

Luke heard from Hwang Bo-sung the futures he had seen, and he knew what kind of world Arsene wanted to create.

Taking over the Southern Continent, he would use it as the outpost to invade the North.

Using the countless resources and humans in the Southern Continent, he would be able to create an Undead army.

‘The Rhodesia Continent was destroyed because of the Undead army that came from there. A future that doesn’t exist now…’

Eli was hesitant to speak since Luke was deep in his thoughts. However, she still decided to say what she had to say.

-The 3rd crown prince, Jo Won-rak, and the King of Yemaek, Biryu… from Your Majesty Luke… requested help… to stop those behind… to stop them.

‘Behind? They mean Arsene.’

He managed to defeat Arsene with his own hands in Anbury City.

He might not appear right away in the war.

Even if a Lich was immortal, restoring its body could take a lot of time especially if its power was lost.

‘But it is Arsene. If that monster appears there, no one will be able to stop him.’

Although there was Saint Nanda, his location was never known.

And even if Arsene didn’t appear, the situation was unfavorable to Yemaek.

The Song Empire was the strongest nation on the Southern Continent. It had troops as well as supplies.

In addition, with the help and support from Arsene, they might destroy the Royal Family of Yemaek.

‘It might be better for me to join the war.’

If Arsene appeared again, Luke could destroy him once again.

And it didn’t matter if he appeared or not.

He just couldn’t stand the fact that the Song Empire might take over the Southern Continent.

“Fine. I’ll come there.”

Fortunately, all the urgent work in Symphonia Kingdom and Holy Empire was done.

The rest of his tasks could be handed to his retainers and officials.

This was why Luke decided to go to the Southern Continent.

Eli went wide-eyed at his decision.

She thought that asking Luke to help them would be difficult. However, Luke agreed too easily.

-Your Majesty will… Is this possible?

“Of course. Would you like me to come quickly?”

The Song Empire had declared war.

It wouldn’t be strange if they started the battle right away.

Therefore, the faster Luke went, the better it would be for Yemaek.

-I will inform… the King of Yemaek… 3rd prince.

Once the magic communication with Eli was done, Luke summoned his aides in the royal palace.
