149 Statue of Yeo-nan
Years ago, Rudy’s phoenix killed a crow.
They say they’ve killed quite a few, but this crow, who seems to be the leader, doesn’t seem to care.
The crow sat on Rudy’s shoulder and rubbed its beak against Rudy’s cheek.
‘Sorry. By killing your colleagues.’
As Rudy muttered to himself, the crow, as if understanding his words, pushed his cheek with her head. It’s okay, it seems to say.
Rudy turned to the Witch of the West.
She was groping on the floor and crawling in the wrong direction.
If you see him paddling in the air sometimes, he might be looking for a crow.
She was crying without making a sound.
The crow flinched as if it noticed that it had forgotten her, then flapped its wings and flew through the air.
“ah!”
Hearing the sound of wings, the West Witch hurriedly stretched out her hand.
A crow climbs on the back of your hand and flaps its wings. It seems to be trying not to overwhelm the owner because of its own weight.
With a tap, the crow touched the witch’s arm with its beak as if to soothe it, then climbed back onto her shoulder.
Imperial soldiers are still pursuing enemy soldiers. Loud footsteps and clashing weapons could be heard from all directions.
Amidst the noise, the Witch of the West groped for her shoes and stood up.
Still, it didn’t seem like all the pain the necklace had caused was gone. Still, she shuddered in pain and her face was distorted.
Anyway, I think he thought he had to run away too. The Witch of the West began to walk slowly, waving her hands in the air.
“…”
The magic detection ring inherited from the previous emperor did not respond to her. From the first time I saw it, there was no reaction at all.
‘It’s not like he doesn’t have magic.’
Perhaps the inability to detect magic power is the reason why the slave necklace was worn.
The Witch of the West walked a little and then stopped and turned again.
Imperial soldiers stand around her.
It wasn’t too close, but it was far enough to catch the Witch of the West if it made a sudden move.
The Witch of the West, perhaps aware that soldiers were surrounding her, continued to struggle from one side to the other in a bewildered look.
Imperial soldiers who had been watching her in silence built a human fence to prevent her from going anywhere.
Whether she knows it or not, the Witch of the West is diligently groping the air. He looked like a frightened child lost in a strange place.
Rudy approached the witch. I deliberately make some footsteps so as not to startle her too much.
After standing at an appropriate distance, they spoke in Korean.
[I am Jung Jinyoung. I’m the one you summoned from Earth. In the current world, it is the position of the emperor of the empire.]
The Witch of the West stopped moving.
eyes widened
[Jung…Jinyoung? father?]
The Witch of the West stood blankly, staring intently at Rudy, who couldn’t be seen.
The color seems to disappear from her face, body, everything. It was like a black-and-white movie star standing on a color TV.
The color suddenly revived on the witch’s face after standing there for a long time. As the cheeks turn red, vitality returns as if a flower blooms all at once.
[Jinyoung.]
After muttering in her mouth once, the Witch of the West took a step closer to Rudy.
At the same time, the sound of weapon movement echoed here and there.
The soldiers aimed their weapons at the Witch of the West who was getting closer to Rudi.
A few soldiers close by put their irons on the neck of the West Witch.
It was only then that he seemed to realize that he was standing here as an enemy. The blood drained from the Witch of the West’s face.
[Uh, I, I, I have no idea, I’m sorry. Sorry, uh, Sijo, Mr. Jinyoung, I didn’t know. I just thought I had called someone else, I didn’t mean to be hostile to you.]
The Witch of the West distorted her face. She must be a witch who has been reincarnated over and over again, but she looks like a child. He looked like a child scolded by his parents and at a loss for what to do.
Somehow I let out a sigh.
He is the culprit who brought himself to this world, who was living a peaceful life. Besides, he tried to kill me. Even though we had a relationship before, I thought that if we met, we would definitely hate each other.
However, when I saw his face, the hatred disappeared in a single sigh. Well, it’s already happened and it can’t be helped. I thought so.
The existence that I thought was the axis of evil was too weak. I thought that a witch who had been reincarnated for over a thousand years would be something great, but it was a completely different person than I expected. You are never weak to women.
“…”
Yes, yes, it may have been a good thing since I also learned about the situation of the demonic creature that lived alone after I was gone.
Now that I have learned about demon creatures, I have no intention of ignoring the demon creatures who would be lonely in a world without myself. I don’t think I can do such a cruel thing. Another long sigh came out.
Rudy calmed the vigilant soldiers with a wink and opened his mouth.
[I tell you in advance, I have no memory of you. When I was in middle school, I had an accident and was in a coma for several months. I must have been here at that time, but I have no idea. I don’t remember.]
[…]
The Witch of the West stood blankly with her eyes in the air, as if remembering the distant past.
[I was your wife.]
No, it sounds like the truth when you say it like that, but I know it’s a lie to some extent.
Rudy was about to say that, but shut his mouth.
The Witch of the West was crying as if her eyes were about to collapse.
I don’t think I was trying to force a relationship in the past.
I thought that the words just now might have been a word that gave her strength to continue living in this world.
Anyway, looking at it like this, it seems that I have no intention of fighting at all.
Just then, a loud voice came down from the sky.
[master! it’s a witch there is a witch Why is the witch here? Are you here to play?]
than points. In the air, Jumbo was flying round and round with his big ears flapping.
It seems that he faithfully followed what Rudy told him to chase after counting a lot. He arrived late in the sky.
It just went well.
Rudy forced the soldiers around him to retreat and called Jumbo down.
Excited, Jumbo came down as if crashing into the ground and jumped up and down.
I opened my eyes wide and circled around the witch.
[master! Why are witches crying? Is it time to cry? Shall I cry too?]
you don’t have to cry
Rudy looked at Jumbo’s face as if he had misunderstood something.
“Jumbo, I’ll give you an assignment, can you do it?”
[huh! huh! Jumbo can do it. You can do a lot.]
“You don’t need much. While I’m away for a while, watch the witch so she doesn’t harm anyone.”
[huh? Do witches hurt people? why? You can’t do that. You have to be careful not to kill people.]
As for the last words, she looked at the Witch of the West and spoke as if admonishing her.
“Yes, you’re right. Even a witch wouldn’t want to hurt anyone. But just in case.”
Rudy summoned the phoenix.
While traveling together, the phoenix was taking on the role of controlling Jumbo. Their personalities are so different that I didn’t think they would get along well, but surprisingly, the two fit well.
It’s okay if you stick the phoenix with jumbo. yes, it will probably be fine
Rudy whistled lightly and the black horse came closer.
[You don’t seem to have any hostile intentions, so let’s deal with urgent matters first and then talk. I’ll put a jumbo on you just in case. If you injure my soldier, you and I are enemies forever. I will not forgive you.]
The Witch of the West shook her head hastily.
[Never, never against you. I would not waste my life for you.]
[…]
Rudy jumped on his horse. He gave his eyes to the soldiers who were wary of witches.
“The witch won’t rebel. Just in case, I’ll keep Jumbo and the phoenix together. Keep the Witch of the West locked up in the castle until I return.”
After glanced at the Witch of the West, he continued.
“You’re a weak woman, don’t treat her too harshly. Don’t put her in prison. Then you’ll die.”
“All right.”
Seeing the soldiers reply, Rudy turned around.
Now we need to track down the fleeing enemy.
A soldier who is defeated and chased by the enemy is especially dangerous. There was a possibility that it would become more brutal without thinking about the back.
If you miss them, you will torment the people of this country all the way back to your own country.
Rudi accelerated his horse and joined the imperial army in pursuit of the enemy soldiers.
“If you miss them now, they will attack the private house. Catch them all and kill them. Don’t miss them!”
Although they lost their commander and ran away, the enemy’s power itself did not decrease that much.
Unlike the empire, the kingdom of Crete summons lords from all over the world to wage war. It was the lords who actually commanded and led the army.
Most lords are seasoned warriors. Most of the lords of this world were as cunning as raccoons, accustomed to hit-and-run combat.
If you do it wrong, you will be bitten by a rat driven into a corner. It’s a headache.
“Be vigilant. Don’t go too deep by yourself. Always move around making sure your teammates are around.”
As if the captains had inherited Rudy’s words, they shouted again.
However, the soldiers near Rudi were rather excited.
Maybe it was because the emperor was by his side.
If one person is ahead, the other one gets up and runs fast. Then another soldier went ahead to get past it.
Third-year soldiers are the most dangerous. Soldiers who have just begun to gain self-confidence, forgetting their initial fears and becoming reckless.
The seasoned soldiers kept pace with their surroundings, beating them with spear sticks if the hot-blooded soldiers got too far ahead.
“Hey, then the young one dies. Do it in moderation.”
“hahahaha. Your Majesty! Among the soldiers of the Empire, no one dies like this.”
The soldiers laughed loudly wahahahahaha.
Well, all humans will die if they get hit in the head. In fact, Rudy himself seems to have died on Earth as a result of falling down the stairs and hitting his head.
But the soldiers seemed to think that they would not actually die, and even the beaten one was laughing loudly.
Maybe the people in this world have thick skulls. There was obviously a loud noise earlier, but seeing that it looks fine, it might be true.
The pursuit of the enemy soldiers took place over several days.
At first, the kingdom army, which numbered in the tens of thousands, collided with the empire a few times and then scattered like pieces.
The kingdom army, which had been fought by several lords, was divided into small groups led by each lord, and the number was reduced by being pursued again.
If they had been close to the borders of Crete, some might have survived to return to their countries.
But this place is far from the border.
The Imperial Army had no intention of releasing them in Dicoquaria, not in another country.
After tracking and searching all the way, until the last one was caught and killed, the pursuit finally ended.
Some units headed for the lord’s castle of Montes, paired with heavy-duty magic units. Some of the Crete kingdom forces would be stationed there.
If only Montes is dealt with, there will be no more troops from Cania and Crete in Dicoquaria.
‘Is the war of decoquaria over now?’
I managed to finish it before summer. less than an hour
All that was left was to search out bandits and defeated soldiers hiding in private houses.
Those things will be taken care of by the officials placed in each territory and by the lords who will arrive at a later date.
“Okay, let’s go back now.”
Rudy led the imperial army and headed back to the witch’s castle. Now it’s time to go back and meet everyone.
“…”
but what
Even though they were enemies, witches had an extraterritorial jurisdiction in this world, and in most countries, there was an atmosphere where anything was tolerated.
Even in the Empire, there had been several instances of being stabbed in the back of the head by the Witch of the West, and I heard that such resentment passed by pretending to be forgotten like spilling water.
But that doesn’t mean you can’t just let go of the enemy you just rushed to kill.
Even if you’re a witch, you can’t go on like nothing.
“…”
I don’t think I’m going to go just because I let it go.
Unknowingly, I grunted and groaned. I’ve never been married yet, but thinking about my ex-wife gave me a headache.
Besides, maybe it’s good. If, by any chance, the Witch of the West says that I am everything…
‘Lilisha.’
Only then did Lilitha’s face come to mind. Hey, if this is known to Lilitha, wouldn’t it really be like crying and screaming?
In the corner of my head, my heart, which had been very slightly excited about being from the same earth, had cooled down.
Come to think of it, both the witch and Lilitha had a rather strong obsession with Rudy.
One of them screamed and cried whenever he left her side even for a moment from a young age, and the other was a woman who obsessed over a thousand years and eventually summoned herself.
‘When my mother went to see my fortune teller, she said she heard that there was a statue of Yeo Nan.’
At that time, the fortuneteller told her mother that she had to perform an exorcism for several million won. I was sweating with my father to stop my mother from doing an exorcism, but maybe the fortune teller was real. You should have done good.
Rudy drove the horse, clutching his aching head.
