Episode. 25 Lesser God (3)
Ten days have passed since the Union returned to Rio Castle.
In the meantime, Richard looked all over the continent in his spare time.
To describe that impression… … .
“It’s very upsetting.”
This was a very accurate expression.
Both the North and South continents.
It was all because of drinking.
The Demon King’s demonic energy that had not yet disappeared and the demonic energy emitted from Pauline’s Castle spread all over the continent.
Those with weak mentality became demons and went crazy, and low-level monsters were encroached on by demonic energy and became witches.
Demonic energy flowed out of their breath again, and it was a great chaos.
If it was originally like this, even the devil shouldn’t have appeared.
But now, isn’t God just a buzzword?
Magi had dug into the gap between people who had nothing to trust and rely on.
“For now, the problem isn’t the wizards.”
The other side is also busy turning its eyes to demons and demons.
In addition, it was after the ambitious magic union had been badly beaten.
I won’t have time to do nonsense right now.
What Richard had to look carefully at was the movement of Alan, Mine, and the Witchbeasts.
In particular, he watched Alan Marx every single day.
Shall we say that it is a mental strength worthy of the long and long modifier of ‘magic number one Marx’s all-time genius prodigy’?
Despite taking on the demonic energy of two high-ranking demons, he was still sane.
But that too was a sandcastle that would soon collapse.
Sooner or later, the inner violence will be revealed on the surface, and the cool-headed reason will be red hot.
It will turn into a terrible murderer with only anger and murderous intent remaining.
So Richard stepped in.
That was just yesterday.
“What kind of power can 200,000 escape at once!”
Recalling the events of the night before, Richard continued to grumble.
But his heart was a little different.
The ability of the authority ‘revelation’ was amazing even thinking about it again.
The power that had to be used in connection with ‘God’s eyes’ was an advent made using objects as a medium.
The godhood of Richard, who took off his human shell, was great in and of itself.
That arrogant Alan Marx had to kneel without hesitation.
Thanks to you, I thought things went smoothly.
However, the cost of that power was not just a few pennies of faith.
After finishing the revelation, the pain that seemed to tear my heart came.
Apparently, the act of taking out the divine power put a great strain on the body.
However, even with such a risk, the usefulness did not change.
“I tried my best to be dignified, but I don’t know if it was strange.”
Three revelations to Alan.
In fact, these were useless requests.
It didn’t even have to be a leaf to give a revelation.
Not to mention starving for three days and cultivating for ten days, and waiting anxiously for the right time was something that could only be said between lovers.
But it was right.
What Richard wanted was a push and pull with Alan.
To think of yourself one more time, to leave even a little deeper aftertaste.
It was because he did not know what action he would take when he saw Richard, who was called a saint, if he hastily made Alan a believer.
He’s a knight… … Among them, Battenberg was regarded as a crippled enemy.
Meanwhile, Richard realized a truth.
‘There’s a difference between dating and missionary work!’
If you approach your ideal type prematurely, you will often be beaten.
Likewise, Alan is not much different from him.
It was more stable to take the ball step by step and get in the way.
“Whoops… … .”
Richard smiled and showed confidence.
Come to think of it, I heard that I was quite the dating expert.
◈ ◈ ◈
“Wow! It’s a banquet-!”
The men jumped up and cheered.
It seemed like the banquet had just started, but that was a huge misunderstanding.
The banquet had already been going on for three days.
Even today, several hours have passed since the drinking scene took place.
The proof was that the drunken faces turned red.
“ha… … .”
I wasn’t drinking holy wine.
I never thought that the castle owner, who willingly made it to comfort the hardships so far, would be so popular.
When you drink, getting drunk is the same whether it’s just alcohol or castle wine.
However, the Seongju’s faith contained in it kept him moderately drunk.
It was enough to make the knights go crazy because they could pour in the already delicious liquor while they were just right drunk.
Thanks to that, the amount of faith poured into alcohol for the past three days was not small.
“drink! Drink it!”
“pour! Pour it!”
The knights clinked glasses with each other and screamed loudly.
He was holding a piece of meat the size of his own face in one hand, and he was eating so much that he couldn’t tell whether it was an orc or a knight.
What is Balak… … You’re putting your face in a barrel.
It was a pretty crazy sight.
“Chwiiik! I shouldn’t have to pick a song at this point!”
Rapture jumped forward and boasted of his yellow teeth.
In response, the knights who were drunk on the delicious castle wine responded by blowing whistles.
It seemed like I was the only one who lost my appetite at the thought of hearing his screams.
Rapture soon cleared his throat and started singing.
“Oh oh! Chwik! Mary, my goddess!”
oh my god.
It’s oh chwik. Mary, my goddess.
I just wanted to shut that hideous mouth.
“There is light in your eyes~”
“Wow!”
Adding courtship lyrics to a song with no pitch or beat or anything, it became the perfect pitch.
I stuck my finger in my ear hole and looked around.
I saw the knights laughing wildly at the rapture song.
However, Mary, the main character of the song, was secretly avoiding her gaze.
I would really hate it too.
that crazy guy
As a relationship expert, I can assure you that Rapture had no chance of connecting with Mary.
“young master.”
While I was clicking my tongue, Leo spoke to me next to me.
“As you said last time, really Battenberg… … .”
“Why, are you already sad?”
When asked quietly, Leo averted his gaze.
I giggled at him, and he seemed busy munching on meat.
“It depends on your father’s reaction, well. More than that, Sir Leo.”
“yes?”
“Whatever it is, it won’t be easy next time. Even Sir Leo.”
“… … .”
Leo never got hurt.
Even while the battle with the undead was repeated dozens of times.
Like wolves in a herd, they wouldn’t have felt a life crisis.
Because Leo was one of the few strongmen on the continent to fight against the undead.
Of course, just because he wasn’t hurt didn’t mean he fought recklessly.
However, it was only left to the knowledge of others that the coalition could overcome it.
As if trying to train the coalition.
To be precise, it should be called an alliance with me.
“I don’t know what your father gave you, but if you’re just trying to be a trainer from now on, you’d better quit.”
Leo didn’t answer.
He just looked at me with meaningless eyes.
I looked at him quietly and turned my head.
If you had done this, you would have figured it out.
◈ ◈ ◈
It was two days after the banquet that King Barentis visited Rio Castle.
In the eyes of the king came the magnificent figure of Rio Castle.
Numerous flags fluttering while hanging on the walls of the castle.
The guardians of the castle raise their salutes with rugged faces above them.
From noble mtl dot com
Rio Castle, which had been unable to sleep at night for fear of collapsing, greeted the king firmly like this.
“Ahh!”
With the castle in front of him, the king was so sincerely moved that it was difficult to keep his body straight.
Even with his body exhausted by the dark clouds that had descended on his country, he wanted to tap the knights’ shoulders again and again.
But before that, there was someone I had to talk to.
Richard Battenberg.
The fourth lineage of the Battenberg family, called the true royal family of the North Continent.
In the midst of blood and death.
How surprised he was to hear that he had knocked on the door of the royal capital saying he would head here.
Considering his status as Battenberg, he should have been treated luxuriously, but at that point Richard had already left for Rio Castle via the royal capital.
What can he really do in Rio Castle?
Regardless of how Battenberg was, a separate evaluation was added to Richard.
The nickname Battenberg’s disgrace was very famous in the North Continent.
But that assessment is completely wrong.
The king was surprised by the news that came along with the previous victory news.
‘He came with the light.’
‘He received a revelation from God and completely thwarted the enemy’s evil plans.’
‘Even an endless nightmare was just a dream in front of a saint.’
The king did not easily believe the stories.
it’s god a saint
I thought it was just a rhetoric to enhance the status of a great class.
But even that thought seemed wrong.
“Meet His Highness, King Barentis.”
A young man who greets you with a simple formality.
No, Richard Battenberg, a boy but with the appearance of a young man.
The king’s eyes widened as he saw him.
The only martial arts he had polished up were a few sword skills, but he was a king who prided himself on being as good as a knight.
The prayers felt by Richard were at least superlative.
Perhaps he was already on the verge of becoming a sword master.
Also, what does this atmosphere mean?
Brave knights unanimously praised him as a saint.
Even though he was still, the light emitted softly soothed the heart of the devastated king.
“On behalf of the kingdom of Varen, pay homage to the lineage of Battenberg. Truly, you have received a favor that cannot be repaid.”
There were so many things I wanted to say, but I couldn’t be bothered to keep my dignity.
At that time, Richard opened his mouth with a serious face.
“His Highness, King Barentis. I have something to tell you.”
◈ ◈ ◈
I quietly examined the king’s face.
I saw an old king with white hair.
Although he was a leader with a reputation for being kind and wise, he seemed to have no ‘class’ to overcome demons.
Of course, I didn’t want him to do something that the knights who say I’m long couldn’t do.
A king is simply a ruler.
“young master?”
Leo noticed me as I sat down with the king and the leadership to choose my words.
It seemed that if they were called, they would say something.
hmm.
I also have to say it bluntly.
I said to the old king.
“The war is not over.”
“… … .”
The air in the conference room froze.
In particular, the king’s face hardened to the point where it couldn’t be any harder than this.
“… … What does that mean?”
“It is literally. The leaders here will know.”
He cast his gaze on the other knights.
“You are referring to the curse the red giant spoke.”
“We also felt a strange feeling at Pauline Castle.”
All of them talk rudely.
They were already predicting the future.
However, he couldn’t bear to tell the happy knights that the war was over.
“Does the young master know the identity of the monster?”
“okay.”
I nodded my head at Abalt’s question.
“He’s a corps commander.”
“… … Whose corps commander lives somewhere?”
Tok, tok-
I tapped the table with my finger.
As much as this name, I am reluctant to take it out.
“The king of demons.”
But someday you should know.
“Another name is Skeleratus, the source of all plagues in the world.”
“… … !”
The air was heavy.
I only said one name, but the audience was filled with fear.
