A Famous Traitor and Treacherous Genius

91 – Changes in 2 Years (1)

Lucid dream (lucid dream).

While a person is dreaming, he or she becomes aware that it is a dream, enters a metacognitive state, and moves freely through the dream.

To realize a lucid dream, superhuman patience and effort are required.

It does not happen simply by saying ‘I will do it’; It requires advanced training and mental concentration.

However, using ‘White Silver’, you can enter the dream world very easily.

You can even create your own dream world and achieve what you want through your dreams.

For example.

A method such as creating an imaginary opponent in a dream that one wishes to defeat and fight directly against that entity.

Bu-euung!

The sword passes through the face.

A few strands of hair fluttered around the blade, and I immediately took a step back and swung the weapon in my hand.

Kaaang!

The swinging pole is immediately blocked by the man’s fist.

Suddenly, the man grabs the sword with one hand, presses down on his long pole, and begins to attach the sword with his upper body.

Slurp.

The blade that rises along the long pole.

For a moment, my image is reflected in the sword body, and the blade flies towards my neck, pressing down on the pole with force.

Suddenly.

The throat is cut.

Although it was an illusion, the cool sensation passing through my neck clearly felt like my body was being cut.

The cut part is the neck.

However, if you have ever felt similar pain, it would be the pain when your side was cut wide by a sword.

“…Tsk.”

Unlike lucid dreaming through metacognition, this is why Lucifer dreams are dangerous.

“It hurts so bad.”

Phantom pain.

As the boundary between dreams and reality becomes blurred, all the sensations felt in a dream become conscious through the emergence of memories buried in oblivion.

If someone who has never been burned comes into contact with fire, it will feel the same as being immersed in boiling water.

I’ve never felt like I’ve had my throat cut before or after returning, but I’ve had other things cut off my neck many times, so I feel the pain in my neck.

“How could it not work out?”

“Of course not.”

From behind, a familiar playful vocally taunts me.

“The body is different, and the mana is different. I thought you could use the physical skills again just because you regressed?”

“Are you being harsh, princess?”

“But it’s reality. And have you forgotten?”

The princess walked leisurely next to me with her back to me.

“I am an illusion created by you. It is an illusion created so that you can look at the person you are now objectively.”

“It doesn’t matter if it’s a delusion. If you were created from my memories, you know my skills better than anyone else.”

I raised the baton again towards the man who cut off my head.

“A man who didn’t put in much effort became a master. Such a man returned to the past and has been training with all his might since he was 10 years old.”

“…”

“Now that we have a certain level of technology, all that remains is to store the skills in our memories in this body.”

Traitor Gray was the Margrave of Gibraltar.

The Margrave of Gibraltar is a position that only masters can ascend to.

In other words.

“Once you’ve done it once, there’s no way you can’t do it again.”

I was a master before.

“But will that make it easy?”

The princess shakes her head resolutely.

“Have you forgotten what made you a master?”

“No, I know very well.”

The man in front of me, traitor Gray, aimed his weapon directly at me.

Although he has the eyes of a ruined man who finds everything annoying and wants it to end quickly, the traitor’s ‘sword’ is shining sharply.

“After the fall of the kingdom of the famous swordsmanship family that produced the sword master, the first Margrave of Gibraltar who was attached to the empire was not a sword master…”

“Blade Master.”

The princess approaches traitor Gray and snatches his sword.

“There’s something you always said. When you were at the academy, if you had held a sword instead of a sword.”

Saaa.

“Students wouldn’t have been able to ignore him because he was just a senior knight.”

“Thinking of the kingdom’s students, I think they will curse the heir of Gibraltar for holding a sword instead of a sword.”

“Ah. In the first place, those people are all trash who say things like that, aren’t they?”

Traitor Gray naturally crumbles like fog and disappears, and the princess holds her sword in an upright position and points it at me.

“What’s important?”

“Someone who understands me, someone I have to protect, sees and believes in my true power.”

Throw away the long pole.

She concentrates mana on her fingertips, materializes her mana and grasps it.

“Oh my. Isn’t that a scam? In reality, you don’t even get a rank, let alone an Auror!”

“In dreams, anything is possible. At least up to the limits of your own perception.”

Extend your index and middle fingers toward her handle.

“I have master-level skills in my memory, but there’s no way I can’t recall master-level mana.”

“And that goes for the other person too, right?”

“Of course.”

The princess also took the same posture as me, and the mana at the tips of each finger.

“Then-“

“Three stabs.”

The princess runs forward, clutching the sword with one hand.

The sword stabs at a speed that is no exaggeration to say almost simultaneously.

There is a difference in the order, but an attack that takes place in a split second will result in a fountain of blood pouring from three vital points at the same time in just one second.

“Head.”

Deflects the auror targeting the top of the head.

Since it is a slash that shoots the Auror like a bullet while stabbing the sword, it is not the end just because it is deflected.

“Ship.”

Throw the sword at an angle, aim for the exact center of the abdomen, and deflect the stabbing aura.

As Aura and Aura collide, a momentary mana collision occurs and my whole body shakes, but the princess’s Aura bounces away as if grazing my side

And last-

“No.”

Before blocking, I swung my sword downward widely.

“What are you doing now?”

“Attack a weak point?”

“It’s a weakness, but it’s only a sparing in a dream.”

The tip of the sword stretched vertically downward and stopped exactly between my thighs.

The tip of the sword the princess extended was also passing between my thighs.

“To put it the other way, doesn’t it mean that the Count can also attack the enemy like this?”

“…”

“An eye for an eye. A tooth for a tooth. Being able to suffer like this is no different from assuming that you can make the other person like this.”

The princess waved his hand as he retrieved the sword.

“Honestly, if you could kill the emperor by targeting here, would you cut him down?”

“You’ll chop it, chop it, cut it, and throw it away.”

“Phew.”

The princess smiles slightly and destroys the blade created by Aura.

“In the end, I am an illusion created by your ego, so I cannot help you other than to restore the skills in your memory.”

The world, which had been dyed entirely gray, begins to turn red.

“In the end, neither you nor I were able to reach him. So, it would be better to just refer to the skills you had before returning and sharpen them anew.”

“…”

“I don’t think this is the right answer. But Traitor Gray’s sword doesn’t suit you now.”

“Why?”

“That’s right.”

From noble mtl dot come

The princess giggled, approached me and raised her tiptoes.

“Because I’m already taller than that.”

“So you don’t like it?”

“How can you not like it? In fact, I like it…”

Grinning.

“It was quite big to begin with, but if it gets any bigger, I might not be able to handle it.”

“What dangerous words.”

“For now.”

The princess smiled, extending her hands toward me.

“I’m glad there’s one thing that surpasses traitor Gray.”

* * *

“…”

It’s always a pity to wake up from a dream through Baek Eun.

Because the experience in a dream is so vivid and enjoyable, waking up from it is not always easy.

But you have to wake up.

If you pursue happiness as a delusion only in your dreams, not in reality, you will eventually die without even being able to dream due to the threat that approaches in reality.

Sreuk.

Get up from bed.

There is only me in the room, and no one else is in the room.

Quiet dawn.

The time is approximately before 6 o’clock.

As soon as I woke up, I looked at the lamp on the nightstand next to the bed.

“I wrote it all down.”

Last night, I put quite a lot of it in, but only white hardened wax and ashes from the burned out wick remained in the bowl inside the lamp.

There was no trace of what was wrapped in the wick.

It all burned up and saw into my lungs while I was sleeping.

Click.

Open the drawer.

When I opened the lock with a number known only to my father and I, a fairly short candle greeted me inside.

“Ha…”

The center core is not a regular thread, but a paper core made of imperial paper rolled up as thinly as possible.

A suspicious white powder flowed out from inside, but there is no need to think strange.

This is just a powder made by mixing dried and ground Somnus petals with an alchemy ingredient.

“I have to go catch it again.”

I closed the drawer, then reached out for the red magic stone placed next to the silver scented candle.

The magic stone goes down with a clicking sound.

Like pressing a button – no, it’s the button itself.

It is an imperial-made item that does not exist in the kingdom. It is an item that opens a connected device by simply pressing the magic stone.

The sound of the lock being opened followed by a clicking sound.

After stretching once, I looked at the full-length mirror next to the closet.

“Hmm…”

Definitely.

‘First of all, he’s definitely taller than his fingernails.’

Thanks to my efforts to increase my body size since I was 10 years old, I am already about 1cm taller than my pre-reversion height.

‘I wonder if there are about 1 in 10,000 people of this age and this height.’

There are some people whose growth is suspiciously fast, but I had no idea that they would become who I am today.

‘How did they grow up like that?’

I have tried all kinds of methods to increase my body size since I was 10 years old, so it is natural for me to become like this, but how did the articles say that I already exceeded 180cm in my first year at the academy (17 years old), and how did I grow to that height?

‘I wonder if I’ll hate it if I grow bigger than I am now.’

It would be good to be taller, but now it’s time to gradually add muscle to this body.

‘It wouldn’t be bad if it wasn’t as lumpy as Sir Carlos.’

Until now, I have been refraining from muscle training as much as possible for the sake of bone growth, but from now on, I feel like I can gradually incorporate muscle training into my physical strength training.

Knock knock.

A knocking sound ring.

“Come in.”

“Excuse me.”

The door opened, and a white-haired girl wearing a maid uniform came in carrying well-folded clothes.

“…”

And then it hardened.

“What’s going on? 45.”

“Oh, that, that…”

“…Hmm.”

I wondered where White 45’s eyes were directed, and it seemed like her eyes were shaking when she saw my body as soon as she came in.

“S-sorry. I was rude…”

“There is no need to apologize and there is no need to be rude. There is nothing wrong with this.”

“Well, that is…” ” .”

“It is one of the maid’s jobs to monitor and report on the health of the successor. There is no need to blame yourself.”

It’s nothing to be ashamed of.

Because the term “Physical beauty” Didn’t come up for nothing.

“It’s actually good. You can secretly spread the rumor later when you go to the ‘Iperia Outlet’ in the canyon to buy something.”

“Well, is that okay…” ” ?”

“Yes. You also have to report to the empire to accumulate achievements.”

“Ah, no matter what, Master’s muscles… Hmm, I can build my performance by selling my health…”

“It’s okay.”

I’m not selling something embarrassing, and I’m not selling actual photos.

“The Imperial Prince would be very happy if he heard that Gibraltar’s heir is growing up healthy and even has a promising future.”

“I don’t think the crown prince will be the only one who is happy…”

“Uh huh.”

I received clothes from No. 45 and headed to the bathroom in the room.

“If you know, follow the instructions calmly. As my shadow.”

“Yes, Master Gray. Ah, how did you like the remote unlocking device and call bell?”

“It occurred to me that the Empire’s magical engineering was ultimately the same.”

“Yes?”

“They say they pursue convenience, but in the end, that convenience makes it a good item to use for summoning servants.”

When I look at things like this, I don’t think there’s much difference between empires and kingdoms.

But.

“Isn’t it good to bring in the imperial culture?”

“…”

From the smallest point, the kingdom and the empire have already become uncontrollably different.

“You guys, until two years ago, you had to use boiled water to use warm water.”

“I am truly grateful for that.”

“That’s enough.”

Gray, 15 years old.

Approximately 2 years since the opening of Seirene Port-

“I’m going to the count’s castle as soon as I finish showering, so get ready.”

“Are you talking about the Countess Castle, which is being remodeled?”

“No.”

Correction.

“A newly built count’s mansion built in the imperial style.”

Approximately two years have passed since the start of brokerage trade with the Empire through the opening of the first gateway to the Gibraltar Gorge.

“What is it, a magic engineering machine that makes water warm?”

“In the imperial language, it is ‘Mado Hot Water Boiler.'”

“Yes, the boiler. Now I can’t live without it.”

Under the leadership of the Margrave of Gibraltar, everything in Gibraltar is changing rapidly, starting with the Earl’s Mansion.

“Now I feel like I’m living like a human being.”
