Disciple of The Three Kings [EN]: Chapter 93

The Three Kings’ Disciple (94)

093

Einheart and Eun.

After a brief period of peace following the world’s invasion, they had been at war for a long time.

Their stated reasons were different, but what they truly wanted was clear.

‘Occupation.’

Eun, established in Asia.

Einheart, established in Europe.

They shared the commonality of surviving for a long time in the drifting world, and they shared the desire to find a way to live in the newly opened world.

What they wanted was complete occupation.

‘Eun in Asia, Einheart in the West.’

If they had tried to occupy from the beginning, the forces opposing them would have been fierce.

However, they started a war between themselves under the guise of a cause.

Two forces that expanded their influence through new borders that naturally formed and the justification created in the chaos of war.

The war had continued due to their conflicting interests.

However, a considerable amount of time had already passed since the war began.

During that time, many exchanges were cut off in the war that divided East and West.

Fortunately, there was a way to fill the gaps.

‘Dungeons.’

The resources within the dungeons and the resources from the constantly appearing gates.

With that, a self-sufficient system was established without the need to rely on others.

‘Sorcery and Magic.’

Eun with sorcery, Einheart with magic.

They developed new technologies and opened new paths.

Those were the days they endured, but there were limits.

The gates were gradually appearing less frequently.

The lives lost in the long war.

-We are entering into a peace treaty.

They decided that further war was meaningless and reached a peace agreement.

However, the inside story was known to anyone who knew.

“In fact….”

A bitter smile naturally appeared.

“The occupation war is over.”

Under the guise of war, Eun had completely established dominance over Asia, and Einheart had established dominance over the Western world, including Europe.

There was no longer any reason to continue the war.

As he had already heard, while Ro-woon was in Cheonman Mountain, Einheart’s envoys had visited several times and promised an agreement.

‘Last month.’

The agreement was announced.

-The blocked skyways will be opened.

The airport, which had not been functioning properly since the war, opened its doors.

Asia had strictly prohibited players and civilians from leaving the country, so the opening of the airport was a surprising fact.

-Sea routes will also be opened.

The world was changing, one by one.

And today.

“It seems they’ve arrived.”

This was the reason why Ro-woon and his group came to Incheon Airport.

Except for the envoys for the agreement, today was the day that Einheart, the forces of the West, officially visited Korea for the first time.

Ro-woon was also interested in them.

“Have you ever seen Einheart’s people, Guild Master?”

Kang Eun-ha asked Ro-woon.

“You know, Bondeno.”

“No. I mean those who are based in the West.”

Ro-woon shook his head.

“No.”

He had never encountered Einheart’s people.

In the past, during Dank’s time, Ro-woon’s main area of activity was Asia, especially Korea.

Since exchanges with the West were strictly prohibited, there were not many ways to see Einheart’s people.

However, there were those who had seen them.

‘Eurasia.’

Players or Murim [martial arts world] people who were deployed to the battlefields of the war.

According to them.

“They were called the demons of the battlefield.”

Einheart was not inferior to the Murim.

Also, they were more specialized in war than the Murim.

‘If they really wanted to end the war.’

Eun might have won the battles, but Einheart would have won the war.

Incheon Airport was filled with people.

Among them were civilians and players.

But.

Whoosh.

The majority were Murim people.

Murim people who came to see Einheart’s visitors.

In front of such a large crowd.

Whirr.

They arrived.

***

Flash! Flash! Flash!

The endless flash of cameras.

It was a natural occurrence as today was an important day for all of humanity.

The first visitors from Einheart, not just an envoy.

It was the day they set foot on Korean soil.

Murmur, murmur.

The crowd was noisy as the automatic doors opened.

“Who was it again?”

Ro-woon, who had been holed up in Cheonman Mountain and hadn’t heard any proper news, asked.

“That….”

Lee Yong-jin quickly answered.

“I heard it’s the Batella Knights.”

Batella.

“They said they’re from the Holy Theocracy.”

Eun in Asia was divided into the Nine Great Sects and the Five Great Families, but they could be considered one under the name of the Assembly.

However, Einheart’s situation was said to be a little different.

‘Two forces.’

They were in the form of an alliance.

First, the group that had taken control of the American continent.

‘The Empire.’

They ruled all of America and united it under the name of the Empire.

The once glorious United States of America was just a name, and it was practically a vassal state of the Empire.

And another.

‘The Holy Theocracy.’

The Holy Theocracy, which had taken control of Europe.

There were two such forces, and under them were numerous knight orders and magic towers.

“I know about the Batella Knights.”

Kang Eun-ha said.

“The Holy Theocracy… the Seven Great Knight Orders.”

The seven knight orders recognized and operated by the Theocracy.

“They’re one of them.”

Kang Eun-ha’s words were simple.

“So, they’re big shots.”

Indeed.

Whoosh.

An energy that ordinary people could not feel.

Most players and Murim people would not feel it either.

A sensation like being pricked by a needle.

‘The aura of a strong person.’

Not many would be able to feel the subtle aura of a strong person.

Ro-woon was also feeling that aura.

“But why did they come to Korea first?”

Ro-woon asked.

The first official visitors from Einheart.

Their value would be quite high.

However, they had set foot in Korea, not in China, which could be considered the headquarters of the Assembly.

“It’s not exact, but….”

Even Ha Se-min, who was the most knowledgeable about information, was not sure about this information.

It was inevitable since it was separate from Einheart.

“It seems the Theocracy is looking for something in Korea.”

“Looking for something?”

A strange word.

At that moment, the Batella Knights finally walked out into the crowd, breaking through the flash of cameras.

As expected of a visit, they were in casual clothes, unlike the expectation that they would come fully armed.

“Westerners….”

Blue eyes and blonde hair.

But it wasn’t that surprising.

Although exchanges with the West had been cut off for a long time, there were many foreigners who had entered Asia before that, and they could be easily found around.

However, what surprised them now was their aura.

“Indeed….”

The Seven Knight Orders.

“Are they on par with the Nine Great Sects?”

The energy they felt was different and foreign from what they felt from the Murim.

But that alone proved that they were strong.

“The Batella Knights….”

Ha Se-min said.

“I heard they are all Grandmasters.”

Grandmaster.

Ro-woon also knew about that term.

‘Mystic Realm.’

It meant an SS-class strong person.

At that moment, Ro-woon’s eyes narrowed.

“…….”

For some reason, he felt a familiar energy from one of them.

* * *

Inside the car, which was moving smoothly like a yacht.

“This is Asia. Korea.”

A huge man said, looking out the window like a child.

“It’s definitely different.”

The Batella Knights, their headquarters could be said to be in England.

Although the Holy Theocracy itself ruled Europe, their headquarters, the Theocracy, was in England, and the Batella Knights, who received direct orders from the Theocracy, resided in England.

“This is….”

Another man.

A handsome man with a slender figure said quietly with his eyes closed.

“The land of volcanoes.”

Korea.

To the people of Einheart, that name was more famous for the existence of volcanoes than anything else.

The Murim people of the volcanoes, who had clashed swords countless times on the battlefield.

It was said that their nest was right here, in Korea.

“I want to see it soon. Since it’s the land of volcanoes, there must be many strong people, right?”

The huge man said in an innocent voice.

“Goliath. Be quiet.”

The one who had been silent until now opened her mouth.

Radiant blonde hair.

However, her appearance was ambiguous, neither Western nor Eastern, as if she was on the border between the two.

But what was certain was that she was beautiful.

Not flamboyantly beautiful.

However, the strangely felt sacredness and dignity made her seem like an untouchable being.

“It hasn’t been long since the peace treaty was signed. If you cause unnecessary trouble, the Theocracy will punish you.”

“Tch. I understand.”

The huge man, Goliath, was dejected like a child.

“We are not official visitors, but we must not forget that the name of the Theocracy is behind us.”

The skyway had finally opened.

The first visitors to officially set foot on Asian soil through that path.

“And….”

The woman called the leader said, looking out the window.

“Don’t forget that we have a mission.”

They had come here with an unofficial mission.

Korea.

Although this place was called the land of volcanoes, there was no way that there was no reason for it to be the first place they visited.

A secret order from the Theocracy.

‘There was a prophecy.’

In fact, the Theocracy had influenced Einheart to rush the peace treaty with Eun.

There was a prophecy, and that prophecy pointed to Korea.

That was why they had to confirm it.

“Leader, personal matters aren’t first, are they?”

At Goliath’s words, the woman’s face seemed to blush for a moment.

“Shut up.”

Personal matters.

In fact, the leader of the Batella Knights.

Phile had not visited Korea for the first time.

Unofficially, without permission, she had visited before.

That was not a visit, but.

‘Infiltration.’

She had come to Korea with a certain mission.

“Then, are you not going to take care of your business?”

“…….”

There was a small connection she had made back then.

“Find out. Eun has an organization in charge of information, right?”

“There are two places.”

The slender man, Cainrich, said.

“The Gaebang [Beggar’s Sect] and the Black Market. But the Gaebang is one of the Nine Great Sects.”

“Then we should entrust it to the Black Market.”

“That would be better. They say they sell information to anyone as long as they get paid.”

“So, it’s like an information guild?”

“That’s right.”

Phile closed her mouth.

The corners of her lips were subtly raised.

“Then, make a request.”

“But, Leader.”

Cainrich said.

“If we contact the Black Market right after our visit, we might arouse Eun’s suspicion.”

Indeed, it was a valid point.

“That’s why.”

But Phile answered calmly.

“The request to the Black Market is my personal matter.”

A small connection she had made in Korea in the past.

“If we make such a request, we can rather divert Eun’s attention.”

“Indeed… I see.”

Cainrich also understood.

“Then, what should we request?”

They had arrived at the hotel.

Phile said as she got out of the door that the knight had opened.

“Ro-woon. Find out about that man.”
