248. A wild beast wearing a rabbit mask (2)
It is almost midnight.
Most of the stores on Shaman’s Street had their lights turned off.
Only the blue full moon illuminates the darkened streets.
Two court shamans running above it.
Obviously they split up at first, but they rejoined after crossing the bridge.
“Didn’t you decide to join us outside the city?”
“No one was chasing me. “I learned that in times like this, it’s best to join in and escape quickly.”
Emil, a short shaman, spoke calmly to his senior Baal.
In response, the senior stomped his feet even faster and scolded his successor for letting his guard down.
“That’s stupid. “Do you think that just because you can’t see it right away, it’s completely gone?”
Baal, the elite shaman of the Southern Alliance of Nations.
When he realized the name of the man he had seen earlier, his expression did not look good.
“You don’t know the Grandmaster.”
The man remembered one thing while running.
His steady breathing became increasingly rough due to the nightmare of that day.
“Twenty years ago, Leonhard, the emperor of this empire, participated in a war at the forefront. “He was in his early 40s at the time.”
“I heard that humans are already aging and becoming weaker when they are in their 40s.”
Emil’s long ears were slightly visible under his robe.
He also seemed to be one of the few mixed elves on the continent.
“No, the person who became a grandmaster was completely different.”
As I drove down the infinitely long road, I began to see entertainment districts with lights on even at night.
You can escape Cornell by just climbing over the castle wall.
In addition, it is crowded with floating population and tourists.
I think it would be a good idea to hide yourself if you go that far.
Only after Baal reached there was he able to continue his explanation to the young half-elf.
“One sword master destroyed 100 of our troops. The grandmaster above him was like… “
On a street full of tourists, he slowly looked back the way he came.
And then, he muttered to his teacher, Rize, with worried eyes.
“He was like a god.”
Leonhardt swings a thunderbolt around a huge golden spear.
When he let out a thunderbolt, the ground trembled and reduced many of the elite knights he had trained his entire life to ashes.
“Yeah, but I didn’t feel any energy from that guy earlier… ?”
“That’s why it’s scarier.”
Baal, the best disciple who served Rize all his life.
He, who had just turned 30, swallowed deeply.
“To be able to become a grandmaster at the age of 20 and hide your overwhelming power….”
When he turned 30, he started having stiff neck and back pain.
But the fact that the 40-year-old Grandmaster was so strong, and that a 20-year-old Grandmaster was just born….
It was like a ‘disaster’ for the Southern Alliance of Nations, which was the enemy.

“This must be reported to the South…. They say we should never go to war… !!”
“….”
Seeing his senior look so frightened, his successor Emil also started to get nervous.
His long ears hidden under his robe were also downcast and drooped like a puppy.
“Was this the reason why Bakal formed an alliance with Leon? .”
Emil was muttering to himself.
He was startled to see his senior grabbing his arm and hiding in the shadows.
“Wasn’t there one there?”
“Yes, Captain Allen.”
“Always be alert. If Lord Bale says so, we will definitely pass through here.”
The Verdant Knights wearing white uniforms.
For some reason, they who were supposed to be at the imperial court were on guard against Connell.
“What…?” ? I clearly said that there would be no troops at Cornell… ?”
Baal hid in the dark shadows and secretly watched the patrolling imperial knights.
Even the blond-haired man who appears to be the head of the knights is at the level of a sword master.
As unusual characters appeared one after another, he became increasingly worried about his teacher, Rize.
“Emil, first of all, climb over the wall before the sun rises.”
“What about your senior?”
His blue eyes flashed in the shadow of his dark robe.
He showed confidence as one of the men who reached the pinnacle of witchcraft at the age of 30.
“I will take Master with me and find another way to escape.”
“Yes….”
The young half-elf nodded his head.
Then, he headed to a busy alley close to the castle wall.
“Behind the wall, the secret units that had been infiltrated into the empire will have gathered in advance. “Let them guide you.”
Baal shouted to his junior who was walking away and then turned his head.
And then, he headed towards a dark alley.
「―――――」
In front of the city’s outer wall.
Emil peeked his head out from hiding in the shadows.
“This is the Knights of Light. Was there anything unusual about the Eastern Knights?”
“Yes, it’s still nothing.”
A situation where two imperial knights share information with each other and systematically search for strange people.
Whoever sees this, it looks like they have been discovered here.
“It’s a big deal…. They’re already sieging all the walls… !!”
The boy was nervous, biting his thumb.
Then, he was looking around, looking for a place to hide for a while.
The back door of the casino located closest to the castle wall caught my eye.
Just looking at it, it looks like it’s crowded with customers and there are no drivers inside.
Charmed by this, he decided to hide nearby for a while and wait for the knights to show an opening.
―――.
“Oh my, are you a guest…?” ?”
“You can’t come through the back door.”
As he quickly headed to the back door, he made eye contact with the host women waiting inside.
The boy was so startled by their outfits that his ears perked up.
Cute bunny ears worn on the head.
However, contrary to the ears, the leopard material clothes clearly reveal the obscene body.
The curve of her belly button was visible, and her breasts were dizzyingly covered by clothes without bra straps.
The pubic bone and inner thighs were visible, and dark black stockings only covered the legs.
“Well, the empire is quite open….”
It was quite provocative for someone who had just turned 20.
According to a half-elf, he was only a 15-year-old adolescent boy.
“Hmm. I would like to get a seat with a window view….”
Still, the boy is a court shaman and demands a position where he can inspect the gaps in the castle walls.
He took out a beautiful ruby from his back pocket and handed it to them.
“Wow….”
The women looked at each other, nodded, and guided him to the second floor window.
“Would you like to come this way?”
The boy followed the woman to the VIP room of the casino.
Emil turned his head as he saw the rabbit’s tail and butt fluttering every time he walked.
The VIP room was amazing.
Luxurious chandeliers and gaming tables.
Even comfortable leather chairs.
It was the perfect place for nobles to enjoy pleasure.
It is a playground for aristocrats that would have been unimaginable if it were the Cornell of the past.
“If you wait here, the ’employee’ in charge will come to you.”
“Isn’t that the one taking charge of it?”
Emil frowned when he heard that the woman he bribed with her jewels was not in charge of her.
She smiled and answered.
“Oh my, are you looking at me favorably? I’m sad too, but someone even more special is waiting for me.”
The rabbit woman held the door to her VIP room and waved her hand brightly.
And then, she disappeared with light steps like a rabbit.
“Whoa…” .”
When she disappeared, Emil lowered his sweat-soaked robe for a moment.
His long ears were finally free.
“For now, I’ll just have to wait here and figure out the right time to go over the castle wall….”
He took out the golden mushroom that was in a glass bottle.
He slowly checked the condition of the brilliant medicinal ingredients that glowed brighter than a candle.
“Okay, no problem.”
Then he took out the wand and put it down on the table.
It was an old elf tree wand handed down from ancestors.
“We have secured all the goods, so all we have to do is repatriate them to the south.”
With all these materials in his hand, he was full of thoughts of returning to the South.
What they are really trying to create is the elixir of eternal life.
However, there was no intention of giving the medicine to the crown prince.
As it is a difficult medicine to make, when they succeeded in manufacturing it, they planned to offer it to Eustis I, the king of the South.
He was the emperor who made it possible for the South to stand firm even against the Empire.
However, he was 73 years old, 10 years older than Leonhard.
No matter how powerful a king is, there is no business ahead of time.
His son was now 10 years old, and he planned to somehow extend his lifespan and hold out until the crown prince came of age.
“Please wait a moment, Your Majesty…” .”
Emil looked at the window with solemn eyes.
And, the knights patrolling in front of the castle walls watched to see when a gap would appear.
However, his firm belief soon collapsed.
While looking at the window….
Because an unexpected being appeared before my eyes.
A person who captivated even the grandmaster who had no interest in love or women….
――――――.
“You keep looking out the window.”
Calm and feminine voice.
However, the elf boy did not turn his head.
He just stares at the wall he has to overcome.
Anyway, the people who came here are probably employees of this place.
However, his long ears soon flashed at the powerful mana felt from behind him.
Because her power was so great that she felt alive in an instant.
“Who are you?” ?”
Emil hurriedly turned her head.
That moment.
A blonde woman wearing a plain shirt and skirt caught her eye.
Her blue eyes resembling the sea sparkled in the moonlight.
“Elf… ?”
The boy was almost relieved for a moment by those mysterious dragon eyes and beautiful curves.
However, when her silhouette approached right in front of me, I was startled.
What he saw was neither an elf nor a casino employee….
Because he was a lioness of the empire who inherited the blood of the emperor.
“It doesn’t feel bad to hear something like that from a half-elf.”
“How did you get this far while hiding that strong magical power…? ?”
Leah did not specifically answer the boy’s question.
She simply responded with a relaxed yet fierce look in her eyes, like a wild animal that has found its prey in the night.
“Well. “I just came in and you were all alone.”
The first princess of the empire smiled and took out her round bead from her back pocket.
And then, towards the elf boy who glances at the wand on her desk….
“Like this.”
She held out her beads as if to show off.
“… !!”
The moment Emil looked at the cross section of the crystal ball, he realized that it was dangerous.
However, by the time I realized it, it was already too late.
A mistake in failing to increase the distance between me and an opponent with such strong magical power.
I made the mistake of being caught off guard by an appearance comparable to that of an elf that appeared at night.
And….
Even her bunny headband stuck in Leah’s tight back pocket.
The moment when I dared to look at the princess’s jade body.
Because he was possessed by the hypnotic bead.
Soon Leah returned to her usual cold and noble tone.
And, like her mother, with her easy-going smile gone, she became the cool-headed face of a soldier.
“Tell your name and affiliation.”
The boy was not embarrassed by the princess’s sudden change.
He was already hypnotized by her and just stared blankly up at her with her unfocused eyes.
“My name is Emil Sieg, the youngest court shaman….”
“What is the purpose of coming here?”
Leah snapped her fingers.
Then, the knights of light who were waiting outside come in.
“Mushrooms are the main ingredient in the elixir of life. Me and Master went to the empire to save this….”
Leah crossed her voluptuous thighs and silently listened to the boy’s report.
She simultaneously waved his wand like a toy and then easily broke it.
“The performance of the beads is solid.”
The princess carelessly ordered her knights to surround the boy.
And, I drank tea elegantly while listening to the hypnotized boy’s confession like a classical melody.
“Well, it was a hassle, but this would also be a great harvest.”
Leah didn’t even pay attention to the knights dragging Emil away.
He just quietly closed his eyes, admiring the full moon outside his window.
“If it works on elves, it means it will definitely work on guys too.”
The brilliant moonlight poured down on the white shirt.
Then she went into her ordinary clothes….
A leopard dress with very obscene curves, like an hourglass, began to appear.
“I guess I can get compensation from that child.”
Leah took out her bunny headband that was hanging on her chair.
And she gently touched her head with a strange look in her eyes that she had never shown to anyone.
“But why did that child get bruised while I was approaching?”
The First Princess of the Empire looked out her window with an indifferent expression, putting her rabbit ears on her head.
She stared at her own reflection, then laughed and threw it on her table.
