“You want to catch the slaughter peacock?”
Fille said while following Lee Rowoon, who moved as if patrolling the territory of Petus.
I couldn’t speak on the spot because of the solemn atmosphere and seriousness.
“Are you serious?”
This is crazy.
It was Philae, who was determined to follow Rowoon’s words without hesitation.
For now, you should double check.
“What are you planning to do… .”
At last, Lee Rowoon stopped at the question she kept asking.
“The work of slaughter… .”
I waited for Lee Rowoon’s words.
“Catch it.”
After those words, Yi Rowoon started walking again.
“Please… .”
Filet was crying now.
“It’s a completely different matter than catching the Crimson Peacock!”
The Crimson Duke aims to assassinate.
As he hides his identity and exists secretly, it is not easy to think that someone will find him.
If you aim for that gap and assassinate for sure.
‘There is a possibility.’
But the slaughter duke is different.
It is different from the beginning.
He was not afraid of revealing himself, and was a subject of much resentment.
As the nickname slaughter, he lives in resentment.
I heard that he lives in preparation for every moment.
‘Assassination is impossible.’
“We need an all-out war.”
All-out warfare is the only answer.
Doesn’t this know?
No, you will.
“Are you okay, really?”
Fillet asked again.
Finally, Philet took a step back.
But I had to say this.
“Duke of Crimson, give up.”
If you decide to catch the Duke of Slaughter, then give up on the Duke of Crimson.
Iro-Woon stopped again and asked.
“Two peacocks.”
Crimson, slaughter.
Lee Rowoon is aiming for the duo’s duke.
It’s a bigger problem if he fails, but a bigger problem if he succeeds.
“If two of the Five Great Dukes collapsed in an instant, what would the Empire be like?”
It cannot be dismissed as a simple problem.
“It’s an imperial overthrow.”
A rare rebellion aimed at overthrowing the empire.
“In the first rebellion, the Empire will do everything it can to attack you. So give up the Crimson Duke.”
If you really want to catch the Duke of Slaughter, catch him.
She will be responsible for what happens when she fails to catch the Crimson Duke.
Everything.
‘It’s for you.’
Fille swallowed the words.
“You do it yourself.”
But Filet kept her mouth shut.
Fille made eye contact with Lee Rowoon for the first time since he said he would catch the slaughtering duke.
Two eyes that are just drowsy.
I could see something ingrained in it.
“Why are you doing this? It’s convenient if you follow the original plan.”
I wanted to hear the reason why it’s not drying anymore.
“Let’s call it a whim.”
Fickle.
“And also because it is necessary.”
I didn’t explain it in detail, but it explained quite a bit as a good thing.
Just then.
Filet agreed completely.
“I will do my best to help. Even if the end is ruin.”
It is almost impossible to dry this man.
‘I want to.’
I also want to obey this man’s will.
That’s enough.
“I will report the results of the investigation.”
Cainrich and Goliath are back.
They were surprised that Philae and Yi Run were at Count Petus, but reporting first was a priority.
“There was nothing suspicious about it.”
As a result of investigating the Count of Petus, I did not feel anything suspicious.
“Voices praising Count Petus are high.”
The people of Yeongji praise Count Petus and are concerned about him.
It could be said that such a thing was rare in Einhart’s territories.
Because the lord has always been the object of fear and the role of the ruler.
But Count Petus was different.
“It seems that the Petus family has been in control of the territory since the past. But I never made any special events.”
Fillet nodded at Cainrich’s words.
“However, what was awarded was… .”
Listen.
“A few decades ago, there was a visit from the Empire. It is said that many people died and were injured at that time.”
“I couldn’t figure out the details. Keeping your mouth shut, I think it has something to do with the Empire.”
I heard from Hamaye about the general circumstances of Count Petus.
-I think we were on the same boat.
Vengeance, anger.
The easiest thing to do with that was for the arrows of revenge to be stern.
Crazy people who are blinded by revenge and will do anything to get revenge.
If not, things like realizing that revenge is realistically impossible and releasing your anger to those around you.
Petus was neither.
‘It is straight.’
The direction of the revenge was straight.
It was a good thing that he couldn’t feel his emotions well, but if he had feelings too.
‘I understand.’
Because his choice was almost understandable.
“So, what happened?”
Now it was Cainrich’s turn to ask.
“The plan is… It has changed.”
“A plan?”
“Your original plan was to prove the treason of Count Petus and punish him, wasn’t it?”
“I did.”
Kainrich also seemed to be feeling ominous.
Filet smiles.
“Changed to catching the Duke of Slaughter.”
“Oh. yes… .”
Kainrich’s face begins to turn white.
“Yeah, eh?”
Kainrich, who usually did not lose his composure.
But it was not easy for him to pass on the words he had just heard.
“Mi, are you crazy?”
Things you wouldn’t normally say.
That much Cainrich was real.
“The Duke of the Empire, the Duke of Slaughter. If you don’t know what it is… .”
Filled.
The commander of Batella’s knights.
He doesn’t know?
Did he change his plans without knowing it?
Cainrich thought with his mouth shut.
Cainrich serves as an advisor to the Knights of Batella.
It was his role to advise Philet when she couldn’t find an answer.
When Cainrich thought like that.
‘You won’t know.’
I haven’t seen many good ones.
But there was something that I felt just after seeing it a few times.
I still don’t know his end, his true nature, or what he has.
When you think this is the end, there is always more to it, and when you define this as that, you break through that definition.
“It may be possible… .”
I understand.
“It would be impossible for the general manager to stop him anyway.”
Filet smiled bitterly and nodded.
“Then that would be a good thing.”
Fillet’s expression brightened slightly at Cainrich’s words.
“The duke of slaughter is also the enemy of the Church.”
“The slaughter he committed and traces of demon summoning rituals, etc., were already being investigated and suspected of slaughter in the Kingdom of God. but… .”
“No progress was made because he was a duke.”
If you touched him wrongly, an all-out war between the Empire and the State could unfold.
“But isn’t it obvious?”
The sin of the slaughtering duke.
That is absolutely unacceptable.
“If he goes out and kills the duke of slaughter, he won’t have to kill the duke of crimson.”
Why didn’t I think of that?
The problem was that the depth of thought was shallow because of the huge name of the slaughtering duke.
“Cainrich… .”
As always.
Kainrich was the focus when Philett couldn’t find an answer.
“Goliath, what about you?”
Fille asks Goliath for an opinion.
“According to the will of the leader.”
He answered briefly.
“What do other members think?”
Cainrich and Goliath laugh.
And this time Goliath, not Cainrich, spoke first.
“I will be waiting for the manager.”
I need to help Yi-woon.
I did my best, too.
Fille started moving quickly.
The deep underground of Count Petus.
“This is it.”
Count Petus guided Yi Woon to that place.
Deep underground, small marbles floated in numerous magic circles.
“This is the core of Count Petus.”
The nucleus that sustains this world.
Count Petus spread his hands and began chanting a spell.
Tung! Tung!
Something bounced loudly and started to make a cracking sound.
The color of the magic circle begins to fade.
The magic circle eventually disappeared.
Lee Rowoon approached the core of Count Fetus and reached out his hand.
[You have touched the core of Count Fetus, the fragment of Einheart.]
A system message that appears again.
[Warning: Count Petus is already part of the Damian Empire.]
The first message you see.
[When the Count of Petus is annexed, this news will be delivered to the owner of the Damian Empire.]
Lee Rowoon’s eyes twitched.
This meant that the moment he annexed the Count of Petus, hostility with the Empire was declared.
As Philet said, killing the two dukes would do the same, but it’s too early now.
“I can’t.”
Not yet.
Benefits of letting go.
But he seems to have thought of something.
I gripped the core of Count Fetus again.
Perhaps he recognized the threat, the nucleus began to tremble.
Lee Rowoon closed his eyes and rotated the ring of kings.
[Temporarily, Count Petus gains independence.]
A system message pops up in my closed eyes.
[The power of beings belonging to Count Fetus will be strengthened.]
[This will remain for thirty days, after which it will return to original ownership.]
[The lord of the empire will not know this.]
[Do you want to set up a keeper?]
What you want appears.
“Blandro Petus, make him the keeper.”
The moment Lee Rowoon finished his words.
A bright beam of light poured from the core of Count Petus and began to fill the basement.
Count Petus hesitated for a moment, as if surprised, but then closed his eyes as he looked at the peaceful Benedictine.
The glow of the nucleus begins to be absorbed into his body.
‘Setting up a keeper is my own privilege.’
The Empire seems to have found a way to unify the powers of the world, but they also don’t have the power to set up a Keeper.
Keeper is a being who protects the nucleus.
Petus.
It will become stronger.
“Mana… .”
Petus was sitting down, and red mana was flowing around his body.
Now, one thing has been completed.
“You can’t be satisfied with that.”
Now what they had to hunt was the duke of the Empire.
Especially the work of slaughter.
– Ultimate Master.
It’s beyond the grand, and it’s on a higher level.
-Peaks have special abilities.
It has special abilities that only peacocks have.
-I’m even receiving the protection of the guardian dragon.
It is said to be protected by a guardian dragon.
When he heard that, Lee Ron thought.
‘So?’
Just that he could have something more than that.
-The Duke of Slaughter never moves alone.
That he’s not alone.
-Knights of Slaughter.
We need people to deal with the knights.
“You want to complete that power, don’t you?”
This is their role.
