A Famous Traitor and Treacherous Genius

301 – The End of Incompetence (1)

The guardian dragon of the Kingdom of Nostrum, the Gold Dragon Chronostrum.

500 years ago, when Geo Nostrum, the founder of the kingdom, founded the Kingdom of Nostrum with the first Margrave of Gibraltar, the guardian dragon bestowed a blessing on Nostrum’s bloodline.

Regression.

The ability to go back to the past once in a lifetime.

The country is ruined? All you have to do is regress.

Was he poisoned to death? All you have to do is regress.

All humans are in danger of dying from a plague? All you have to do is regress.

When a national crisis emerged that could not be resolved at this point, the Gold Dragon created a miracle that rewinded the world.

The reason is probably because I love Nostrum.

Without love, no one would understand the reason for that action.

Because he loved the kingdom he protected, he gave away countless amounts of gold, created a canyon to prevent any enemy from entering, and made it possible for generations of his descendants to enjoy the happiness that gold provides.

Its history has been going on for quite some time, about 500 years.

But what about in reality?

In the time period that I, Gray Gibraltar, remember, there has been more than 510 years of history.

During that long history, how many people have returned?

When he was young, he played a game of piecing together pieces of paper.

It involves gluing long, vertically cut pieces of paper back to back. If you use glue to attach them, there will naturally be overlapping parts.

This overlapping part.

If you think of it as the flow of history, the overlapping and downward movement can be said to be history that has disappeared due to regression.

The world shown by false gold may be the overlapping side.

No one except the returner remembers it, but the gold, the traces of the golden dragon that created the power of return, may remember that history.

Maybe.

Although this is just speculation.

The great magic that rewinds the world may literally be rewinding everyone’s time.

It might be to record each moment of time somewhere and rewind everyone to the world of that time.

It is the gold beneath the land of Nostrum that creates the great magic, and that may be why the history of disappearance due to return is recorded in the gold.

Here is the memory of St. Geo Nostrum.

It records his failed history that Saint Geo Nostrum erased and eliminated.

Everyone wants to erase their failures, and they want to return to the past when they did not fail.

Everyone has regrets about the past, but since they cannot go back to the past, everyone lives in the present and moves toward the future, pondering those regrets.

This life.

Saint Geo Nostrum showed signs of regret, but there was no sign of him drawing a new future based on that.

So it was predictable.

Only me.

Only I, who had the same experience as Saint Geo Nostrum, could read Saint Geo Nostrum’s thoughts

Regression is not just a nostrum.

Gibraltar can also return, just as one of Gibraltar’s ancestors, Lord Cadian, did hundreds of years ago.

It may be the Golden Dragon’s arrangement for Gibraltar, which can protect Nostrum and condemn it at the same time.

A safety device may have been created so that when Nostrum is damaged, Gibraltar can return to revive Nostrum.

In fact, the right of return may be available not only to Gibraltar but also to others.

We can only infer the principle, but if we achieve the most desired goal based on it, that is enough.

Regression.

Not going back to the past.

Preventing regression and moving toward the future.

Preventing St. Geo Nostrum from rewinding time.

That’s why we analyzed St. Geo Nostrum, considered his tendencies and various variables, and dug a trap.

I’ve been waiting for 20 years, so it will definitely appear as soon as time passes.

It was as expected.

Saint Geo Nostrum attacked Naria and kidnapped her to the most likely location to turn back time.

Time ends.

Golden Temple.

A place where the golden dragon, Chronostrum, sleeps and at the same time guards the so-called ‘return device’.

Since I expected to go there, I asked Lia and her father to set a trap.

Did you think that only those with the blood of Nostrum could enter the Golden Temple?

Or maybe they didn’t think that we had already dug a trap in the Golden Temple and were waiting for it.

The moment I entered the Golden Temple.

“You came in just right, Gray.”

The father was protecting Naria and pointing his sword at Saint Geo Nostrum.

“I’ve just said my final goodbye.”

* * *

It looks like the timing was better than expected.

I wondered if the whole situation had already ended, but fortunately, I was able to appear in a situation where I could intervene.

‘It’s a superb view.’

Truly a superb view.

“This can’t be happening…? Uh, huh? Huh?”

Unlike his usual arrogant self his his his, Saint Geonostrum began tearing out his head in pain.

“Can’t you rewind? Why? Crimson, why? How did this happen…?”

“Are you curious?”

I stood next to my father.

From noble mtl dot come

Naria and my father looked at me for a moment, and I nodded slightly at them.

“You already turned back time. And you turned back time by using Naria as Nostrum’s bloodline.”

“…”

“I’m turning back time. It’s such an incredible miracle and it makes no sense, but there’s nothing I can’t talk about when I’ve come to this place.”

“…No way?”

Saint Geo Nostrum seemed to have realized something and looked at me as if he were looking at a ghost.

“You…?”

“I know that the man named Saint Geo Nostrum is not just incompetent. He is more capable than anyone else at destroying a country, but he is better than anyone else in his ability to use any means to achieve his own goals. “

I lightly tapped my temple.

“In this life, your goal was broken, so you must have searched for all kinds of ways to return. The power to explode gold, that unknown staff, and the ability to manipulate the dead.”

It wasn’t like that before ‘My Return’.

‘I guess he thought that since he had taken his mother, there was no need to go around to gain that kind of power.’

This is probably because Saint Geo of the past was satisfied because he had his purpose.

This life was different.

I prevented my mother from entering the arms of St. Geo, and the author used the time he had molested his mother before his return to pursue his own growth and search for the miracle of Nostrum.

It’s not because I knew about the past, but it’s a kind of arrangement to make life easier in the future.

“I wasn’t able to deal with it because I didn’t know about it, but fortunately, I was able to deal with it in the end. Thank goodness.”

“…Is that you?”

Saint Geo pointed his staff at me, his evil eyes shining.

“Did you really take away the power?”

“Taking away authority? I don’t know. I wouldn’t know if it was handed over legally.”

Honestly, I was a little nervous.

No.

I was very nervous.

Revealing this is the same as revealing the most powerful weapon of my existence.

But.

‘With a weapon like that, it should be used where it can have the most powerful effect.’

If a secret that has been hidden for about 10 years can be used to destroy just one person, minor side effects can be easily overcome.

“That’s right. As you might expect, Naria has no authority. The Golden Dragon’s power was revealed to me.”

“You…!!”

“You can’t go back to the past. In a world where you already rewound once, dozens of years later, Naria rewound once.”

“…”

Naria looked at me intently.

There is not a single person in this golden temple who will not notice what I am saying.

“Let me introduce you. Gray Gibraltar. He is the fallen margrave who returned from the Kingdom of Nostrum, which was destroyed by Saint Geo Nostrum.”

As I leisurely placed my staff on the floor and greeted him, Saint Geo Nostrum’s expression hardened.

“This, this…!”

“It was a slightly different world from the world shown in False Gold. That world was before you went back to the past, and the time I originally experienced was the world where you returned to the past and ruined everything.”

Reveal the truth.

“That’s right. I am the margrave of the fallen nation who returned to the past after receiving the authority of the Golden Dragon from Queen Naria, from the country you destroyed.”

However, I only reveal information that is beneficial to me.

“I feel relieved now that I can finally talk about the restrictions that I couldn’t talk about with anyone here.”

There were no restrictions.

“I’m sorry, father. And to you, Queen Naria.”

“…Grey.”

My father closed his eyes for a moment and then looked at St. Geo Nostrum again.

“There’s no such thing as me having to treat you with respect, right?”

“…”

“How old are you?”

He is also my father.

Even in a short conversation, he understands the truth to some extent and immediately makes a joke.

“If I were older than my father, would I have spoken informally since I was young?”

“Ever since I was 10 years old, I’ve wondered if an adult was suddenly inside, but I never expected an old man to be there.”

“…He died at the age of 27, so he is not an old man.”

My father and Naria’s eyebrows twitch.

27 years old.

When my father was executed and Princess Astasia died.

Traitor Gray died that day.

After that, for a short period of time – I think it was about two or three years – even though the princess of the ruined country led me around, it was nothing more than a living corpse that lost the will to live.

“In my final moments, Queen Naria brought me to Gibraltar. We died there, but when we woke up it was ‘that day’.”

I pretended to lightly raise my glass towards my father, and my father nodded his head lightly.

“There is plenty of time here, and we can talk much more deeply than outside. But for that…”

“I don’t really want to talk about the past, but even if I do talk about some of them, there are people who don’t want to tell them.”

Take a light step forward.

“Saint Geo Nostrum. You are finished.”

“…Hehe, hehe, hehe.”

The incompetent king began to laugh strangely.

“The end? No, no. There is a way.”

The Incompetent King glared at Naria and smiled.

“You just have to breed Nostrum blood again. You just have to take any woman, raise her for 20 years, and then come back here.”

“…”

“All we need is someone who inherits Nostrum’s blood! The new one will be born with the miracle of the Golden Dragon!”

The incompetent king pointed her staff at Naria.

“Naria…! Since you inherited Geo Nostrum’s castle, take responsibility for giving birth to the child! And for me, you will offer up that miracle! Hehe, hehe!!”

The moment the wand sparkles.

“How long can I endure without having children? The day your child turns 20, I will appear again! Haha!!”

The body of the King of Incompetence glowed with gold, covering the golden temple with light.

“It will be different back then! We’ll meet again in 20 years! Haha!”

After the entire field of vision turns golden, the light slowly begins to disappear.

“…Huh?”

The incompetent king just stared at us blankly.

“…”

“Why?”

My father twitched the corner of his mouth.

“Whether it’s magic or a miracle, you can’t escape, right?”

“…”

The face of the incompetent king.

“…Now, wait a minute.”

I started to turn pale.

“There is no place to run to. From the moment I was here, I have spread my magic so that I can strike the barrier at any time.”

The Incompetent King may not have noticed, but the blood of Gibraltar was sprinkled throughout this golden temple.

A barrier of fresh blood to keep the incompetent king from escaping again.

“Now, Saint Geo Nostrum. It is time to end the long, bad relationship with our family… Our family.”

After my father sent Naria to me.

“There is nowhere to run. Now, what can you do?”

“Uh, uhh, now, wait a minute… This is definitely wrong… “

“Resist to your heart’s content. Do everything you can.”

Slowly, he grabbed his sword and approached the Incompetent King.

“Because you won’t be able to do anything.”

Suddenly.

The moment my father drew his sword in the air, the right arm of the King of Incompetence suddenly fell down.
