84. There is no chance in the world. Just as expected.
A few days later.
Baron Herris sent the invitation as scheduled, and the seal was clearly Baron Herris’ seal.
Now I really have to go to Baron Herris.
‘There is still no contact from Exceed.’
Was it just my wish? I hope so.
France stroked her cheek as if these feelings were evident on her face.
“What are you thinking like that?”
“It’s so strange.”
“Did you receive an invitation?”
“Yes.”
With the wedding of the crown prince and the saint just around the corner, key executives from the continent’s strongest guild have entered the country illegally, and information has arrived that France may be in danger. Suddenly, an invitation from the baron?
‘It’s too obvious.’
However, there is no evidence to confirm that this is Mook’s trap. Even the letter from Exceed that promised to convey all of Chilseong’s movements did not arrive.
“Don’t worry too much. “Our business has been going well recently, so the Barony must have contacted us.”
As France said, it may really have been a coincidence. But her uncomfortable feelings cannot be erased.
‘Is everything really okay?’
Seldas was someone who would always contact me if there was anything important. He is sincere when it comes to public matters, so the fact that he doesn’t contact me means that there is no problem.
I can’t ask if this is safe because I don’t have time.
“I don’t have time. “Let’s go by carriage.”
“… Yes.”
I had no choice but to follow France and get into the carriage.
“To the Barony of Harris. You know the house I went to last time on the way? “I’ll stop by there.”
The driver said “Yay” And gave a signal. It rattled. The wheels started rolling.
“Are you saying you didn’t have to bring a driver?”
“What are you worried about when you’re here?”
That’s true, but…….
The opponent may launch a volume offensive.
“Nothing will happen. “Are you sure you would mess with the Descartes duchy of the Empire?”
If I say that, I don’t have anything else to say.
“… All right.”
“Okay, let’s not worry too much.”
France grinned and looked out her window. Maybe it’s because I’m by his side, but he really doesn’t seem to have any worries.
‘It’s safety insensitivity.’
It’s also the same as saying that he recently mastered black magic properly and not accompanying the duke’s knights. The only way to do this is to educate them properly later.
Not long after, we arrived at Kazar’s house. Cale and Kazar were waiting in front of the house in silence.
The two opened the carriage door and got in, as if they were familiar with each other, and Cale was next to me. Kazar sat next to France.
The carriage departs again.
France looked at Cale and Ka-Jar alternately with strange eyes, and then she quietly opened her mouth.
“… “You two come from the same house?”
Oh, now that I think about it, that’s right.
“Why?”
“A man and a woman live in the same house… ….”
France opened her eyes shallowly and stared at Ka-Jar.
“There is nothing strange that you think of, so stop imagining things.”
Cale clearly drew a line in the atmosphere of interrogation.
“So?”
“Yes, nothing special happened.”
France did not give up her doubts, as if she did not believe what Kazar and Cale said. I also kept watching them both. There’s nothing particularly strange…….
“It’s an official relationship, so keep your distance.”
I put a nail in my head telling me not to do anything strange.
“I have nothing to do with this wizard.”
“Yes. “I’m not interested in men?”
Hmm. Seeing the two of them talking makes me even more suspicious.
“Did I say something strange? “I just told you to keep your distance since it’s an official relationship, right?”
There was silence as France spoke. What really happened between you two? ?
But it doesn’t seem like the two will be connected. Kazar was obsessed with magic, and Kale didn’t seem that interested in women.
“Huh, princess, just think as you wish.”
Kale gave up. She made eye contact with Ka-Zar, just in case. She shook her head violently as if to say no.
‘It’s not right to see him do it like that.’
If there had been something really irritating between us, Kazar would have avoided my gaze.
“… ….”
“… ….”
“… ….”
The solemn atmosphere is very uncomfortable. I have to talk back here.
“Hmm, now is not the time to talk about this, so let’s move on. “Kazar, can you use surveillance magic or something like that?”
“Of course I can use it,” Kazar shrugged her shoulders.
“Then, we will brighten the surroundings with surveillance magic, and if we see anything strange, Kale and I will go out. “Kazar, you should focus on the princess’s safety.”
Everyone nodded as they followed my clear command system. France said.
“I feel anxious for no reason.”
“There is nothing we can do about it because it is the right time.”
“… Okay. “It’s for my safety.”
France said that and quietly rested her chin and looked out her window. I heightened my five senses to the extreme.
‘The opponents are the ones that Seldas and Kayle warned us about. ‘We must be on maximum alert.’
* * *
The wheels of the carriage continued to roll without stopping. It’s been a while since I left the duchy.
There were no people or buildings on the road leading to the barony and duchy. It was just full of trees, forming a rich forest.
“… ….”
France fell asleep soundly, leaning on Kazar’s shoulder. Kale was also dozing off, and Ka-Zar was reading her spellbook with surveillance magic activated.
Then at that moment.
From Noble mtl dot com
Doo doo doo doo!
With my five senses heightened to the extreme, I felt a huge rumble in the ground from far away. France must have felt this too, as his eyes brightened and he looked around.
“What’s going on? “It feels like the ground is shaking?”
“Uh, is there something like a storm coming from far away?”
“Storm?”
“Yes. “It’s a strange dust storm.”
Really?
“Kale! “Come outside now!”
“What, what? I get it!”
Cale, who had been dozing off, hurriedly grabbed his sword. We opened the carriage door and climbed up.
“Kazar! “Put the princess’s safety first!”
“Yes!”
I moved to the front of the carriage and shouted.
“Coach! Turn the wagon! “Go back to the duchy!”
“Yes, yes?”
“Listen to me!”
“Yes!”
The carriage stopped and started to turn. Kazar immediately closed the door, and Cale and I climbed onto the wagon and watched the approaching dust storm.
“What on earth is that?”
“It is the night of the corpse.”
“What?”
I feel it with all five senses. That’s not just a storm created by wind. It is a scattering of dust created by a huge amount of corpses running.
“The numbers are too big.”
“Do you see that?”
“I can see it.”
“What is the number?”
I opened my eyes shallowly and captured the aura in my vision. The veins between my eyebrows and temples rose unevenly, and my vision expanded as if I was looking through a telescope.
“I don’t know the numbers. Just know that there are too many to count.”
If I had brought a knight, I would have been killed. How would you move against numbers like that?
“Kale, deal with the shaman.”
“Do you know where the shaman is?”
“It’s there if you go northeast from here. “They’re practicing witchcraft on top of a cliff.”
Cale understood what I said right away and said, “I understand.” And got off the carriage.
“Once you take out the shaman, don’t forget to return straight to the princess.”
“Of course I know. Then let’s deal with it quickly and come back.”
With those last words, Cale ran out with a dark red aura on his lower body. Silent footsteps. The speed was so fast that she rivaled the speed of sound.
‘Okay, leave the most annoying shaman to Kayle.’
She turned her head and rolled her eyes. It’s strangely quiet. Are you planning to take advantage of the mess created when those corpses arrive and come in at once?
‘You’re giving me a headache unnecessarily.’
It would have been easier to attack without knowing anything like Zenbukoros. It seems like the other side has definitely prepared for me.
“Kazar! “Can’t anything be caught by the surveillance spell?!”
“It’s strange! “Something is blocking the flow of magical energy!”
Oh my. Are there people whose specialty is dealing with wizards?
‘If this happens, I’ll have to do everything by myself.’
I asked the coachman.
“How long does it take to return from here to the duchy?”
“It will take at least 3 hours!”
It turned out to be a lot more than I expected.
“Go as fast as possible!”
“Yes, yes!”
The coachman must have felt this huge ground rumbling and was so scared that he was breaking into a cold sweat.
“Whoa.”
Puzzle. It gives strength to the whole body and activates the muscles. Send aura there to strengthen your entire body.
Patter- Pound-
The sound of muscles growing was heard and the uniform he was wearing was pulled taut.
And.
Doo doo doo doo!
I started seeing corpses running towards this place all at once.
Although they each had the shape of a human, the sight of them running towards them, scattering melted skin and organs, evoked disgust, as if I was going to feel nauseous at any moment.
“Tsk.”
Yes, indeed. It’s a dirty hobby.
Sreung! I pulled out my sword and held the hilt tightly. He sent the aura rising from his entire body to the sword and raised the blade horizontally.
“Hmph!”
The blade glowed like a supernova due to the blue burning aura. At the same time as the movement of the arm swinging the sword, the waist turned. I used all the strength I could muster.
Huh!
Kwagwagwagwa–!
The sound of the waves soared, and the aurors cut through the ground like a tsunami. The trees were cut into pieces and the leaves flew away. Weeds and bushes disappeared and the land became barren.
Once the gust passed, all remaining corpses were destroyed by the aura.
“I didn’t think it would be resolved all at once.”
I knew that the sword energy containing the aura was overwhelmingly strong, but I did not know that even things in the distance would be completely destroyed.
“Hey, is it really Jean Barenberg?”
Suddenly, a sound came from behind. I quickly turned around and raised the blade. I didn’t feel any presence at all.
‘I didn’t notice?’
Something is strange.
When I looked around, white smoke was rising.
“Oh my.”
Did the smoke that entered through the respiratory tract cause hallucinations and paralyze the senses?
“My name is Alexander. “Let’s take a look at the continent’s best sword.”
Tattoos engraved on his entire body, highlighting his brown skin. These are the same characteristics that Seldas wrote down on paper.
“hehehehe.”
Alexandro smiled excitedly while holding a large sword that looked to be about 2 meters long in both hands. His face was as vivid as raw meat.
“Don’t you have any pride? “You’re attacking me as a group.”
“Let’s call it a strategy.”
“hehehe” Again. Alexandro confronts me with nothing but laughter. I shouted to make sure France was safe.
“Kazar!”
There is no answer. Was it blocked by hallucinatory smoke? When I looked down, I realized that I was not on top of the carriage.
“… “What happened to the carriage?”
“Well. “Wouldn’t it all be broken by now?”
Puzzle. My teeth were grinding and my eyes were fluttering under my eyes.
“How dare you not even know the topic… ….”
Due to anger, the mouth opens slightly and heat leaks out. The five organs and six parts are distorted and the blood vessels of the whole body rise.
“Hey, the Continent First Sword is very angry!”
Huh! As soon as he spoke, a large sword rushed in front of his eyes. After avoiding him by bending his waist behind him, he used the recoil to do a somersault and retreat.
“Are you the only one dealing with me?”
“That can’t be possible.”
Ugh… ! Golden light enveloped Alexandro’s body.
“Khahahaha!”
Alexandro’s triceps brachii twitched. A great sword flying at a completely different speed than before. He raised the sword at an angle and swung diagonally, changing the trajectory of the great sword.
Chaang! There was a cold, light sound, and the greatsword hit the ground.
“Oh, can you easily block this?”
“… ….”
This is a power on a different level than before.
“There is Rahat too.”
“Did you know Rahat?”
“I received information in advance.”
“Khahahaha!”
Alexandro smiled cheerfully and raised his greatsword.
“Now, the continent’s best sword. “Let’s see if we can get away with it.”
After saying that, Alexandro’s body turned into smoke and dispersed.
Like a mountain path at dawn, the surrounding area is filled with pure white fog, making it impossible to see. You need to know the enemy’s location using only your senses, but even that is paralyzed.
“Tsk.”
It’s unnecessarily complicated.
“Whoa.”
I closed my eyes and concentrated on the image. No matter how numb your senses are, you won’t be able to paralyze the Aura.
‘First of all, the ones that have been confirmed so far are Rahat, Alexandro, and Haynil.’
Kale went to capture a shaman named Estupina.
‘There are three left.’
We need to quickly defeat these guys and go help Kazar.
Then at that moment. An Auror detected a figure behind him.
“Back!”
Huh! He turned his body around and swung his sword backwards. A white sword flashed and a gap appeared in the fog.
“hahahaha! “I never thought you would notice this too!”
“A child?”
“Goodbye!”
Crackling. A small spark flew out of my hand.
“… !”
Kwaaang! It soon led to a huge explosion that engulfed my body.
