Chapter 337 – Village (12)
While A.A. And Lucius were working hard on training on one side of the world, a strange phenomenon of unknown cause was occurring in the capital of the human kingdom in the center of the continent. A huge door had risen near the dungeon where the holy sword was enshrined near the capital.
Its length was equal to that of the castle wall, and its thickness was as thick as two people laid side by side, and the decorations in front of the door were so hideous. A total of four grooves were dug in the door, and each groove had a different picture drawn on it. In the picture at the top, the figure of a black dragon was drawn. The brutal and terrifying shape of the dragon that set the world on fire was realistically portrayed with pitch-black scales, making the soldiers tremble in fear.
On the left was a picture of a terrifying creature that even they could not understand. The monstrous creature immersed in the water appeared in the form of large tentacles. Numerous archaeologists and biologists at the Kingdom Academy have made various inferences about the monster’s identity, but no one has been able to figure out the monster’s identity.
In the groove on the right was a figure of a woman with horns on her head. Other than her long horns, she was so beautiful that people assumed she might be a demon. As beautiful as her appearance was, most of the opinion was that she was a very cunning demon who could deceive people.
In the groove at the bottom, a figure similar to that of a statue of a goddess was drawn. Tattooed all over her body her, her entire body her was sparkling yellow, but she was not wearing any clothes, and spheres were spinning around her body her. Scholars have deduced that this woman may be a goddess worshiped by her demons her, or a very fearsome equivalent.
When the door first appeared, the first thing people in the capital tried was to open it. The strongest knights in the kingdom, led by Felix Karin in charge of the Ministry of Public Security, rushed in and tried to open the door, but the door remained firmly closed and did not budge.
After some investigation, the kingdom’s conclusion was to break down the door. It was such a huge door, and the painting on it was horrific. Therefore, the logic was that it was right to destroy it before it became known to the public and caused anxiety.
In the middle of the blasting work under such logic, Felix Karin, who was in charge of the work, sighed deeply and sat down on the stone ruins. Her armor wrapped around her waist she made her stone scrape, but she didn’t mind.
“You are suffering! Seniors!”
Someone handed her a water bottle. For a long time, she directed her work under the scorching sun, and she was like her comforting touch her. Karin gave her a rare wide smile as she looked at the person who gave her her water bottle. He was a face Felix Karin knew well.
“Ah, Sir James. Long time no see.”
“It’s embarrassing to call you Sir James. There are still many shortcomings…”
James, who was recognized for his contribution to the subjugation of the cult of love, was building his career as a member of the Ministry of Public Security in the kingdom in preparation for entering the Knights of the 1st Kingdom. Today, he participated in the operation to blow up the unknown door and was receiving training from other knights. Felix Karin was looking at him, his successor his as a knight, with proud eyes.
“Congratulation on your marriage. I heard you’re getting married next month…”
“Ah, did you hear?”
James laughed shyly in surprise at the congratulatory news from Karin’s mouth his. Karin asked in a worried tone, as she did n’t look like the smile of her new bridegroom her.
“Why are you like that? You don’t look happy with your marriage.”
“I’m happy to be married… Well, I don’t have a family that wants to come as a guest… My father said that a wedding without guests is unacceptable in the Lionel family.. …”
“Since the current situation is the current situation, isn’t it inevitable?”
“That’s not why. That… Everyone said they didn’t like my bride.”
“I’m sorry you don’t like the bride. They seem to be willing to marry you in your place.”
Karin listened seriously to the worries of her junior, whom she cherished, and was angry again. James looked carefully at Karin and asked.
“That… Senior, don’t you know who my bride is?”
“It makes no sense if you don’t know the famous bride of Sir James in the kingdom. Was it Mrs. Lionel Millar? Certainly, she’s a bit older than a bride who usually marries an aristocratic young man, but that’s not too strange by my standards.”
“No, not that. That… Being a prisoner, people are refusing to attend.”
“Okay.”
Karin nodded her head. James was stunned by such a simple response.
“Are you okay, senior?”
“After meeting a priest who loved everything, I decided not to bother with that. He also married a prisoner.”
James seemed to know who the priest was. Karin said.
“Sir James. We are knights. Nothing but sin can judge us under heaven. It’s not a sin for you to love a beast. Open your chest proudly.”
Karin patted James on the shoulder. Seeing the trustworthy senior, James lowered his head. It was because somehow she felt like she was about to burst into tears. Karin’s voice came from above his head.
“And you shouldn’t hate too much people who won’t attend your wedding. Those people don’t mean anything to you. It’s just that I’m not ready.”
Karin drank some water and got up from her seat her. Again she was because she had to prepare for the blasting job. The operation she tried yesterday using magic stones and 300kg of gunpowder had failed, so today she planned to use twice that amount to break down the door.
The magic stone used for demolition is heavy and very unstable, so she had to work quickly. Looking at Karin’s back her as she receded, James thought that her sudden, clerical figure overlapped with her. After he left, the teachers at the academy said this in unison.
“Our love is stronger than hate.”
“Even beastmen and mermaids have the right to live.”
And today Felix Karin said.
“It is not a sin for you to love a prisoner.”
“You shouldn’t hate people so much that they won’t attend your wedding. Those people don’t mean anything to you. It’s just that I’m not ready.”
James then knew what he was doing. If people weren’t ready yet, he would have to put proper ‘common sense’ in people’s hearts. There were already many students at the academy who were campaigning for the human rights of beasts and mermaids.
These groups, along with their advisors, would discuss how to accept beastmen and mermaids as equal members of society. James thought he should meet them right now. You can’t go on a wedding with Mila without a guest. He wanted to make Mila happy.
I wanted to let them know that my rough life was over. I wanted to see her rejoice her in her happiness her amid her radiant laughter and her ardent applause her. Her Her Her empty Her Her Her empty wedding dress Her did not suit her.
“Our love is stronger than hate.”
James’ eyes were burning with enthusiasm. He couldn’t sit still. He jumped up and shouted.
“Even beastmen and mermaids have the right to live.”
James’ eyes turned to Karin, who had disappeared a moment ago to lead the blasting operation. In the middle of the day, magic stones and gunpowder were piling up in front of the door. James approached Karin with hasty steps.
“Seniors!”
“Yes. Keep it simple. This is a very important moment.”
“Excuse me, but can I withdraw from this mission now? I have a place to go urgently.”
Karin’s blue eyes stared at James. There were few people who could read the emotions from the straight-lined lips and unwavering eyes of her. James involuntarily shrugged his shoulders. Karin said.
“Sir James. Have you forgotten who you are now?’
James lowered his head at the cold voice. His greed his took precedence, so he seemed to hate Karin for no reason.
“Sorry.”
But what fell on him was not a harsh rebuke, but a warm voice.
“As a Knight of the Realm, he must not appear so daunted when he asked what he must do. Straighten his shoulders his and tell him your business proudly. A knight must not be servile.”
“Ah…”
“I have no time to lead this mission. Just say it briefly. What are you going to do and where are you going?”
James’ face his trembled. He couldn’t be rude in front of Karin. He inhaled. I put a strain on his shoulder and widened his eyes. Facing Karin, James exclaimed.
“I want to make the person I love happy! Send it!”
Karin smiled and nodded her head. James accepted her permission to her and put on a proud expression. He walked out of the barracks proudly. The knights who were watching the situation could hear laughter or bewilderment, but James was not ashamed. Because he would do anything for the one he loved.
****
“Ready to blast!”
A man’s cry was heard. Karin once again checked the design drawings and the layout of the powder kegs. Great effort was put into her design her, as she was supposed to cause minimal damage to nearby ruins. Another knight asked Karin.
“Can I prepare the wick right away?”
“Have you applied all the oil?”
“Yes.”
“What is the wick today?”
“These are the feeble-minded gang members who were beaten up last time.”
In the corner, tightly bound aphrodisiacs were covered in oil and fluttering like fish. They couldn’t say anything because their mouths were shut, but their bloodshot eyes showed that they understood their situation. Following Karin’s gesture, the oiled criminals continued from the gunpowder keg to Karin’s safe zone.
Because each other’s necks and ankles were tied with ropes embedded with iron rods, there was no way for them to escape from the ropes or escape to the wrong place. Karin took a torch and stood at the criminal’s bedside. The criminal was struggling in the dizzying heat.
“At the harvest festival, a ritual of burning the chaff is held in the sense of burning the old crop and accepting the new crop. By blowing away the evils of society with this door today, I hope that light will come even in these dark times.”
After a brief prayer, she unbridled the criminal.
“Live… !”
Then she stuck a torch into the criminal’s mouth her. The oiled body was covered with fire in an instant. Row after row of chained criminals began to struggle more desperately. However, the speed at which the flames were attacked was faster than they could move.
“Aaaaagh!”
“Aaaaagh!”
The gagged criminals started screaming. Before the screams had died down, they roared louder and louder with new power.
Karin and her knights her hurriedly hid in a safe area. An intense detonation rang out beyond the sight, drowning out screams. Green fireworks were shining beautifully in the sky. Karin suddenly had an idea that she wanted to see this fireworks with Lucius.
