Episode. 21 Song of Elves and Knights (3)
“god? Even if there is such a thing, it has nothing to do with Nawan.”
Upon hearing my story, Balak was stubborn.
Even after explaining it over and over again, it seemed like it had nothing to do with me.
“I have always achieved what I wanted to achieve. There is no room for anything else to interfere with my life and beliefs.”
“All right.”
I gave up without regret.
From the beginning, he never dreamed of becoming a believer.
Because Balak was such a man.
“Then, it’s a pity, but I can’t give you the castle wine.”
His eyes twitched.
The gaze stabbed my face asking if I had to do that.
“There is holy water. Would you like a drink of that?”
“joy! I have something to give you, but it’s difficult if it’s like this.”
will give
In a word, it was a call for exchange.
As I stared at Balak, he rummaged in his arms and opened his mouth.
“I expected you to pass the test of imprint. Because my senses shouted that.”
“… … yes.”
“But even if it was fast, it was too fast.”
charleuk-
He took out something and laid it out on the table.
It was a leather belt with six golden cross ornaments hanging from it.
“These six metals will serve you as useful tools.”
“What exactly is this?”
“You must have managed to keep the stars on top of your sword.”
He nodded.
It is extremely difficult to maintain the shape of the sword castle during battle.
If the real sword was not used as the central axis, mana consumption would become extreme, and even control was not easy.
“This is a ‘core’ smelted with dragon claws and a magical metal called Orichalcum. Put a star on it for once.”
Balak removed an ornament from his belt and handed it to him.
I took it and put a star over it.
coo woo-
“oh!”
“Oh oh!”
Ironically, it was both me and Balak who burst into exclamations.
I was because of the star that was much easier to handle, and Balak was because of the star that was burning white.
“It’s a white star… … ha ha! Let’s find out some robbers!”
Eventually, Balak also picked up a star.
I saved my strength at the action that seemed to come crashing into me at any moment.
“Do you have anything to do with the room?”
“Eh, you’re making steam leak.”
“More than that, this is a great thing.”
Leaving Ballack behind, he looked at his core.
When the difficulty of dealing with aura is 5, the swordsman converges to 8.
However, if you use this core, it is okay to say 3 or 4.
“There is only one blacksmith who can forge a core. I wasted all my time looking for that damn dwarf.”
“So are you here now?”
“okay. It is a tradition handed down from generation to generation to pass on a new core to the heir. Originally, you had to go find it as soon as you opened the seal, but you can’t go empty-handed.”
he continued.
“Anyway, you won’t be able to properly handle a single star yet. Even now, I will help you with your training.”
“That sounds nice.”
◈ ◈ ◈
A week has passed since the elves joined Rio Castle.
Also called the race of beauty, they gave off a mysterious atmosphere.
The skinny body regained its slender and beautiful curves, and the voice that came out from behind the wooden mask was similar to the sound of jade marbles.
“Why does the elf… … .”
“I heard Saint Richard asked for help.’
“You mean he had a relationship with an elf too!”
A knight, no, a human and an elf can never merge.
But that, too, was only true under normal circumstances.
“If the authors help us, we will be able to block it more easily.”
“A combination of sword and magic… … Isn’t this a scene from a childhood fairy tale?”
Because now we faced a common enemy.
The knights of the alliance whispered.
Some sniffed at the fragrant grass smell, and some imagined the battle ahead.
Elves moved.
To Richard, who is devoted to training for a long time.
“Meet the saint of the god Hor.”
“I’m here?”
Richard glanced at them and erased the two stars floating in the air.
“What happened to the coachman?”
“It looks like we will be able to completely break the seal soon.”
“good. Please work a little longer.”
“It was nothing.”
Ta’sar, the elven chieftain, bowed his head and said.
It was a respectful and discreet attitude, just like how he treated his mother, Adele.
“My great mother said that the name of the Holy Son is the name of God.”
dump-
As Tassar knelt, the other elves did the same.
It looked like he was begging for any orders.
‘It’s better than the knights.’
Richard looked at them while wiping his sweat.
The elves were told by Adele to become followers, and they became followers on the spot.
‘They’re the ones that Adele will take care of and trust as soon as it’s gold.’
Looking at her, she looked like a doll.
Because their blind loyalty to Adele was above their ego.
“Have you practiced all the hymns?”
“yes. Under Mary’s guidance, I learned all the hymns. Would you like to check?”
“No, that’s okay.”
until you have to listen
Richard reached out and bit them.
It’s nice to be polite, but it was too much, so it was burdensome to look at each other.
“Goddamn, you’ve grilled and boiled the dwarves well.”
“I am not like that.”
“Truck. Practice more.”
Balak had been helping Richard with his training for the past week.
From how to maintain the shape of a star more easily using a core, to how to freely control the star itself.
“Putting a star on top of a sword is a waste of a sword, and fighting with a star is a waste of hands.”
Whirly-!
Three stars roamed around Balak freely.
If something gets caught in that orbit, it will probably be torn to shreds.
“What matters to you right now is not the number of stars.”
“Yeah, even a single star would do it right. I have heard it several times already.”
“Eh, you cheeky bastard.”
It was then.
Whoop-!
The sound of the trumpet sounded painfully in my ears.
Rio Castle became noisy in an instant, and a lofty demon soared in the distance.
“It looks like it was an attack.”
A raid 17 days after the battle with Count Poir.
Richard’s brow furrowed.
I didn’t feel anything until the horn blew.
Magi that seemed to touch the sky, and the stench that began to pierce the nose.
Richard, who had faith, should have been able to notice it long ago.
“No way, you hid your presence?”
If it was a Death Knight, he could do that even with his twisted self.
However, if the waves of Magi that were approaching now were all Death Knights, it would be even worse.
“Let’s go.”
“So be it. I need to see the strength of the coalition.”
The two left the training ground and headed for the fortress wall.
The Knights of the Alliance climbed the stairs as if flying, and settled on top of the wall.
Other than that, the commanders also gave orders using a pickaxe.
Heaps of arrows began to pile up here and there, and some of the knights boiled water.
From noble mtl dot com
“we are!”
“The samurai knight!”
“we are!”
“The one who will be the light!”
thump, thump!
The expressions of the knights beating their chests were firm.
I was nervous but not afraid, confused but not sluggish.
“Hoo. A Magi like this would panic.”
“As long as faith has sprouted in their hearts, Magi will not despair easily.”
Watch –
Richard muttered, his eyes shining.
“Is anyone holding a lamp!”
“He wants to light up the darkness!”
“He wanted to make known his will!”
Hymns burst out of the knights’ mouths as if they had become work songs.
They prepared for battle by making fun of their mouths without rest.
“Hmm… … .”
Richard clung to the castle wall and looked out.
“Enemy estimated 10,000 troops.”
“One hundred Death Knights and five Liches have been confirmed.”
Leo reported next to him.
Watching the monsters approaching like dogs, Richard spat out a laugh.
“rich?”
“yes. Of course, I don’t see him as a lich who took control of Pauline Castle.”
Was it really like that?
His eyes darkened coldly.
“They’re the highest level liches, and those guys are just liches. Still, I can’t be careless.”
Those who practice magic will be able to hide their magic.
The magic energy emitted by ten thousand undead.
coo-!
Faith burst out of Richard’s body like an explosion.
[Hor] [Minimum Deity]
▶ [Cult Level – 1]
□ Number of followers – 264 □ Faith – 330,632
□ Power [Appoint a believer] [Receive prayer]
□ Unlocked positions – [Minimum Preacher] 5/5, [Minimum Paladin] 0/3 [Minimum Priest] 0/2
His current faith is about 330,000.
It was a feat accomplished in about 15 days.
Also, it wasn’t just what the eyes could see.
“Ready to fire!”
At the cry of the Lord of Ord, the knights staked their lives on the protest.
A bright light flickered from the arrows they held.
[May Hor come]
[Illuminate where my eyes reach]
The followers of Horgyo raised their feathers and sang.
The knights sang along with all their heart and soul.
gooh-
Sacred energy boiled over in Rio Castle.
It was then.
“Do not be afraid.”
“They shall not harm us.”
“Let today become history.”
A voice that could not be this beautiful even though it was bleak covered the song.
It was the voice of the elves.
Faith wrapped around the castle twisted its body as if it were dancing.
The surroundings were pitch-black, but the castle alone emitted light, so this place was a lantern.
“Chwiik, is this the sight you wanted?”
Rapture, who came to Richard’s side before he knew it, asked.
When he answered yes, there was a strange look in his eyes.
“As expected, I think it was a good thing to follow a great human warrior.”
“Why all of a sudden?”
“I cannot pay homage to something I have never seen, like a god. But I think I can give you my trust and respect.”
Because you made such a nice battlefield-
He grinned and grabbed the axe.
“… … .”
Richard looked around in silence.
All the knights on the wall were staring at him.
In those eyes, there was a look that was no different from the rapture.
A tribute to Richard for finally providing an environment to fight properly.
“stupid guys.”
They are very stupid and simple men.
He laughed and shook his head.
The enemy is coming.
number is only one.
In addition, there are five of them, including the mighty wizard Lich.
It was clear that it would not be an easy battle.
“I am not confident.”
quality yourself.
Faith surged from Richard’s body once again.
that was the signal
cheap-!
Arrows covered the sky.
It was an arrow coated with holy oil, the oil of faith.
“No, this is a real siege warfare.”
