132. Revelation
Upon entering the dean’s office, the dean stood respectfully wiping the sweat with a handkerchief.
Now, I’m not in the position of a professor under the dean, but the one and only black magician in Griffin Kingdom.
He was here as Deus Verdi, the memorial serviceman.
– Are you here?
His Majesty’s expression in the crystal ball placed on the desk was very dark. It was not visible at all from the face of a man who had firmly subdued the aristocrats and stood on a strong royal authority that was no different from an absolute monarchy.
“Meet your Highness, Deius Verdi, the memorial service.”
He immediately got down on one knee and tried to greet him formally, but Orpheus waved his hand.
– Isn’t it between us? You know I don’t like that very much.
At those words, I did not force myself and got up slowly.
The dean and Erika seemed quite shocked by His Majesty’s reaction, but they didn’t care.
“I heard the story as I came. The tribesmen of the Great Forest of Marias to the east have launched an air raid.”
– It’s a massacre. Massacre too. Nothing survives their passage.
Kill people, eat animals.
Those who were moving with only two thoughts in mind were no different from the locusts of disaster.
“I heard that it is to avenge the grudge between Warchief Catolaire and the people of Setima.”
– How many years has it been since the warchief died? It’s your father’s time.
I know about the warchief. It’s because he was among the souls forced to rise by Remegeton when he was fighting Sorcerer Tyrn at the Execution Ground.
I remember that his power to pour out lightning was considerable.
– The grudge of Setima residents… … I don’t know my details, but I heard you already solved it. The Geronia family took responsibility and even erected a memorial stone.
“I assure you, they will never welcome a massacre in their name.”
They are innocent people who tried to forgive even the Geronia family and the Griffin kingdom who brutally murdered them.
It made me very, very, very uncomfortable that the Marias were slaughtering in the name of Setima.
– okay. Something was off, so I did some research. Then, a rather irritating family name came out.
King Orpheus bites his teeth.
– Romerzan, Harrowin, Boman. There is an intelligence that a large number of the heads of families who were still against me have moved to the Great Forest of Marias.
“… … .”
– Those guys were not only colluding with the Zeerman Kingdom, but they were also preparing to commit treason if they did something wrong. They are very crazy.
However, since he was in danger of being caught, he ran away and brought in the Marias?
It was a duke where only malice was felt, but if so, there is no choice but to question it.
“I don’t think the Marias would have followed me just by saying a few words.”
– Yes, I think so too.
The nobles who passed over must have done something, but it wouldn’t have been easy for the tribes of the Great Forest of Marias to invade the powerful country called Griffin.
– So I sent soldiers. With the will of the royal family to thoroughly protect its citizens, some of the Royal Guards were hired and sent.
It was a fairly radical response, but it was felt that he was thinking about the safety of his subjects.
It’s no different than carrying the strongest sword that protects the royal family to the battlefield to slash the enemy.
In particular, Gloria Grace, the leader of the knights, is a strong person who is on equal footing with the sorcerer judge, Tairen.
Even though I thought I would have brought the news of victory soon.
“You lost.”
If so, King Orpheus wouldn’t be so worried.
– … … Yes, even the knight commander was defeated. I try to hide it as much as I can, but I can’t hide it completely.
The king’s knight was defeated by the tribesmen in the east.
That alone could bring great confusion to the entire kingdom and collapse the solid royal authority that had barely been built up.
– I need your help. I heard he deals with unique powers, not mana. Also, when it comes to mysterious cases, you’re the expert.
“… … .”
– Saint Lucia has already headed there. Knight Commander Gloria and the two of them have been friends since childhood.
It was information I knew.
After taking a few deep breaths, I lowered my head.
“I will follow your orders. We will set off right away.”
– Please.
The crystal ball went off, and I slowly raised my upper body and looked at the dean.
“As you have heard, I will be away for a while.”
The dean nodded his head as a substitute for an answer.

Preparation for departure itself did not take long. Since it was a dangerous battlefield, of course Illuania, a pregnant woman, was left behind.

Me, Findenai, and Owen set off.
Seeing the lonely laboratory again, Professor Petra felt sorry for her, and Erica felt sorry for not being able to go with her.
Students like Arya and Eleanor were in practice right now, so they left without saying goodbye.
“Kiya, I said there was no place to write, but I immediately found a place to write.”
While driving the wagon, Findenai smirks while looking at the hand of the ancestor I gave him as a gift.
Since it is an item that requires blood to work, it was necessary to check its performance in actual combat.
“Owen, you’ll be in a safe place, so don’t worry too much.”
“Yes, I will watch the performance of the memorial service with my own two eyes!”
“Hey, are you just watching my sister fight so fast?”
Finden I enters with a simple prodding. I thought for a moment as I told Owen to just ignore it.
The words that the mountain army of the Northwedon Mountains told me when I went this time remained etched in my mind.
‘I heard that the guardian deity of Marias Forest abandoned the forest.’
If the guardian deity abandons its nest, it will lose a life close to eternity, and its mighty power will rapidly weaken.
I wondered if Horua was involved in this incident.
‘The Great Warrior Balksar.’
While using his unique power, not mana, he routed Gloria, one of the strongest men in the kingdom, the Guard Commander.
important thing.
‘He’s a character who doesn’t appear in the game.’
A name I’ve never heard of before.
A being whose name was not even mentioned in the game.
In the first place, there are no large-scale events like this in the game at this time, and there is no scenario where the Marias invade.
Perhaps the change I made became the butterfly effect and created this gust of wind.
‘Even so, it’s annoying.’
From committing a massacre in the name of the residents of Setima to the man called The Great Warrior exuding supernatural power.
It was full of things I didn’t know, and there were only problems that bothered me.
I took a deep breath, cleared my head, and looked out the window.

Mountain pass village to the east.
Strong smoke was rising from the devastated village where the Marias were based.
As they grilled and ate meat on a large scale, they had no choice but to light a large flame, and as a result, they were dancing around it.
ridge! ridge! ridge! ridge!
Inside a huge tent with the sound of a roaring drum.
The great warrior Valksar glared at the sorcerer and prophet Chon as he gnawed at the meat.
Chon knelt down in front of the map of the large griffin kingdom, waving his bell wand and muttering something.
As time passed, one of the pieces on the map began to move very minutely.
Seeing that, Chon suddenly stood up and pointed at the board with his staff.
“that. That is the one closest to the death that our ancestors spoke of.”
“hmm!”
“He is coming! There is still a distance, but judging by the speed, you rode a wagon! He is coming!”
“hmm!”
“Just avoid that guy! That was the revelation my ancestors spoke to me!”
Biting his thick lips, Balksar put on a dissatisfied expression, but Chon sounded like a bell again, as if telling him to come to his senses.
However, Balksar roughly emptied the glass next to him and shouted loudly.
“I have the souls of my ancestors on my shoulders! They light my way! He is leading me!”
Don’t belittle yourself. The Daejeonsa had a fighting spirit worthy of the name.
“My back is accompanied by Lord Horua’s wings of flame! The guardian spirit himself chose me to bring about the salvation of the Great Forest of Marias!”
“… … .”
“Is this me losing? Even the red knight, who was said to be the king’s greatest sword, couldn’t compete properly with me and lost?”
“… … It’s not about losing.”
Chon replied in a low voice as if warning.
“If you had a duel, who would beat you right now! But he is the judge of the dead.”
Chon pretends to and points to Valksar’s chest.
“The moment you see him, the ancestors will run away. The moment he beckons, Horua will fall to the ground. That was a revelation.”
“… … .”
“Please, do not let him become our terror.”
At Chon’s remonstrance, Balksar thought for a moment. It was the first time he had so earnestly demanded it, and it was also the first time he had been so fearful.
An existence that will incapacitate yourself with the power of your ancestors and the guardian god Horua?
To be honest, Balksar was interesting.
I wanted to go and fight one more time.
I wanted to feel with my skin how great it was.
The three former nobles of the Griffin Kingdom, standing respectfully next to them, opened their mouths.
“He is the one called the memorial service.”
“It’s just a dog guarded by the North.”
“He is a man who can’t even cover my own poop and urine. We will take care of it.”
It was Deius Verdi, the memorial serviceman, who provided the cause for the aristocrats to run away in the first place.
The three burned their fighting spirit and pledged revenge for the memorial service.
“Sniff, whatever you want.”
Balksar feels a little sad, but thinks that he won’t have to step forward if he’s only beaten by these nobles, so he drinks a cup of wine that he’s filled up again.
to be honest.
I don’t think that nobles like scarecrows will be able to do anything even if they move.
Confident that he would eventually meet the man, the Great Warrior enjoyed the dinner in anticipation of meeting the memorial service as if he were eating a meal.
What BS did those who committed treason spit out for them to believe 🤔
