Anna, who had lived in the tower for more than a hundred years, didn't understand at all. However, since the command was in Semele, he stepped down for the time being.
"...Well, we'll see if it works."
Half a day passed.
"Theoran. Huxley... This is the stronghold of the Power Generator. The top leaders... a large-scale device with stealth magic."
Those who were worried shared the information. Doubtful Anna formed a team with the wizards and the Knights of Semele and infiltrated one by one.
"Huh, gasp!"
"How could you be here, uhhh!!"
Boom!
The Black Wolves' base was broken one by one from the center. The horrible machi
nes that took life and squeezed it into magic were destroyed. Those who were kidnapped as scapegoats were released.
Soon, the black wolves, who had been scattered across the continent and were closely connected, began to scurry back and forth.
"Oh, my God."
The Queen's words really work, right? Anna was surprised but spurred by the sweetness.
The Black Wolves had a civil war when their de facto leader was killed and destroyed.
Moreover, as Julia suggested, the two black wolves who surrendered to Semele first were pacified and changed. The enemy camp began to collapse from the bottom floor, which is the absolute majority.
The next thing she did was to find Cheryl.
Some of the mages sent to the Tower went to Ametrine to investigate. As a result, it was revealed that the black wolves had cultivated Cheryl in large quantities in Ametrine, centered on Killian.
Originally, Cheryl itself did not cause the drought. However, the Black Wolves raised Cheryl normally in Ametrine and cast a devastation spell when they smuggled it across the continent.
In particular, the attack was concentrated on Semele, and the drought was even more severe.
The dark forces, which had been growing in power for nearly 15 years, began to show signs. It was a spider's web of forces that could not be eradicated at once, but it was a race against time anyway.
Those who grasped the situation quickly surrendered one by one. Some destroyed the base themselves and fled.
Thanks to that, the location of the hidden base of the top leadership was finally identified.
"Now, we only need to destroy the layers of defensive magic. It's not difficult. You just have to take your time and weave together the contradictory formulas!"
Anna was excited and swung her pen with the mages under her. Before she knew it, Boris and Adele were selected to help Anna.
"It went really well. Oh, and I'm done talking to Pal. From now on, wizards will train in the tower for three years, be educated to live the life they want, and go out into society."
Julia, who was watching the work, smiled and said. Everyone was surprised.
"Oh... That's how it ended up."
Anna dropped her pen, but she quickly agreed. She felt a lot from the Queen's determination to eradicate the black wolves with a single stroke.
"The tower will be very busy in the future. Well, if a new wind comes in instead of the old rules, it will also be a magical development."
The decision made in a couple of weeks was quick. But everyone felt the same way as Anna, and everyone was excited by the wind of change.
"Then we, too?"
"I'm excited. I'll go back to my hometown when I leave the tower!"
When the excited wizards finished their work for the day, they went to the cup of celebration with dinner. Julia helped Anna while she was cleaning up with a smile.
"Ah, Queen. I'll finish it off, so go back. In the morning, His Majesty told me not to make the Queen suffer."
Anna laughed and stopped. Julia folded her eyes and laughed along.
"It will be rumored that I live with His Majesty."
"Rumors have already spread in the Tower, right?"
Anna teased. She was a high-ranking wizard who had never been married, but she was teased for a long time, and she was happy to see her lover tickled like this.
"His Majesty will be waiting for you, so please go. During this week, I could see the King complaining that the Queen was going in and out of the lab more often than in the bedroom."
It's just that she doesn't like sparks.
Anna jokingly pushed Julia on her back.
It also seemed that Endymion had shown his unflinching temperament. Don't do that to others!
Julia, her cheeks reddened, coughed and smoked, and hurriedly grabbed Anna before being pushed out the door.
"Well, actually. I have a question for you!"
"To me? What is it?"
Anna tilted her head.
The Queen had just awakened as a mage, but she was a high-ranking mage.
She was naturally smart and could absorb and apply knowledge, so she didn't have anything to teach. It was the first time in two weeks that there was a question that was not a discussion.
"Hmm. I've been wondering all this time... I think the situation is more relaxed now."
The Queen snapped the door shut and made a fortune. Anna listened, wondering.
"Do you know anything about the wizard's pregnancy?"
"Yes? Are you pregnant?!"
Anna shouted, her eyes flashing. Surprised by this, Julia rushed over and covered Anna's mouth, shaking her head urgently.
"No... no! No, I don't!"
The fastball was Endymion-level.
Fortunately. It was quiet to see if anyone was listening outside. Julia brushed her chest and sat down across from Anna.
"Then why are you suddenly asking?"
"Oh, that's right... I think it's time to hear the news, but it's not there."
Julia averted her gaze. Her voice became smaller because she was embarrassed, but her attitude was quite serious.
Anna muffled and tapped her fingers over her arm.
"I see you're worried. But they're not ordinary."
When Anna came to Semele two weeks ago, she shared all the information. Including the fact about the Black Wolves, the curse of Endymion, and the magic power of Julia.
"Yes, so I wondered if the analysis of the sample sent to the Magic Tower was completed."
Along with planning to wipe out the Black Wolves, Anna was also in charge of analyzing Julia and Endymion.
The focus was on the relationship between her magic and Endymion's curse. Anna was in charge of Pal, who couldn't leave the tower and couldn't intervene in the world.
"You know, I just got the news this morning. It was such an important issue, so I tried to put it together and report it to both of you at the same time."
"Really?!"
Julia's face lit up. Anna nodded and spoke thoughtfully
"As expected, His Majesty is safe thanks to the Queen's magical power. But there are some surprising results."
Julia's expression was full of relief, but she became nervous.
"What is hanging on His Majesty right now is not a curse. It's divine power."
"Divine power, this?"
Julia was puzzled by the first word she heard. Anna began to explain with a face of understanding.
"I don't know. It's different from the divine power of the priest. It's different from our magical power. It is a special temperament of a very small number of clans that have been called gods since ancient times. But you know, Semele was founded by those who are called descendants of Dunamis, who gave it."
"...What?"
Julia was stunned by the sudden story. Anna smiled and began to elaborate.
"I know you're embarrassed. In fact, the idea of being a descendant of God is exaggerated. However, as in the founding myth, certain characteristics only appear in the Semele royals. Divine power is the most representative and rare feature among them."
Julia puffed her mouth and nodded. She didn't understand it at all, but she thought she should listen to it more.
"So, it's known that His Majesty' curse is randomly manifested through generations. Those who have been cursed in history have taken many lives, and they have died in a runaway."
"I heard so."
"Actually, strictly speaking, the body did not overcome divine power. Strong divine power is too much for an ordinary person's body to contain. The point is that to save the body, the divine power in the body sucked out the life force of others. That's why it's called a curse."
Anna said that those who are endowed with "divine power" are like being born under a lucky star. He is superior to criminals in every aspect.
"His Majesty is much better in appearance and intelligence than others. It is a characteristic of those who possess divine power. However, even an exceptionally strong body could not withstand divine power, so it sucked the life around it from an early age. They want to strengthen their body so that they can contain divine power."
Julia covered the corners of her mouth with her hands as the clues were put together one by one.
"The more you grow, the more dangerous it becomes. It is not enough to take the lives around them, and they usually notice and isolate them at that point. Then you can't replenish your health, and it becomes dangerous. That's why all the apparitions in the past died in a runaway."
A long time ago, a wizard died when the demon tower tried to intervene. Anna said quietly.
After the wizard was murdered tragically, the demon tower took the measure of non-intervention and buried him forever.
"It happened before I was born, so it was a taboo that no one remembered. But this time it was a very serious special case, so I was allowed to access all the information in the tower, and I found it."
Anna brought the documents she had filled out herself and explained.
"Originally, His Majesty should not have lived long. But ironically, the black wolves twisted your fate."
In the end, it was as follows.
The black wolves impersonated God and issued an oracle to marry Julia and Endymion. When Endymion dies, they try to deceive Julia and claim Semele.
Julia had already overheard Killlan's conversation and knew him. However, the facts that were revealed by the investigation of the tower not long ago were much more Insidious than expected.
He brainwashed Milady.
Twelve years ago, they didn't know about curses or divine powers, and they only knew that Endymion was vulnerable to magical power and would die unexpectedly. So the oracle said that marriage would save the Crown Prince.
However, the black wolves were worried that their tails would be stepped on in the future, so they applied a powerful brainwashing spell.
The shrine should only be announced, "Princess Amethrin is the favorite child of the gods," and after the marriage takes place, the contents of the real oracle will gradually be forgotten.
"And they even used an additional curse to destroy the evidence. That has recently eaten into His Majesty's health. I found the formula this morning, so don't worry about that."
Anna reassured Julia that it would be solved quickly. She was indeed a high-ranking mage.
"Anyway. I have to say thanks to you. By accessing the forbidden records to uncover the intentions of the detestables, I found out why His Majesty's divine power was stable after marriage."
Anna winked at her softly. Julia, who had been thinking about it, asked incredulously.
"No way... Did His Majesty's body hold up because of my magical power?"
Anna's eyes lit up, saying that she was also Intelligent.
"The Queen's magic is characterized by life! The Queen's magic power supplied the vitality required by the Divine Power, the vitality that makes His Majesty's body strong. It was a trick by the black wolves, but in the end, yoy saved His Majesty!"
Anna was happy as if it were her job. Julia just looked down at her hands in an awkward mood.
"I was wearing a restraint ring... The overflowing magic went to His Majesty."
The questions she had been holding in her head became clear as if she had put the last piece of the puzzle together.
That's why Pal said that they were married and lived together.
