188 – To be respected
“Smiley face… !”
The moment Ceylon took out the mask of a smiling face from his bosom.
The three knight commanders immediately tried to subdue Ceylon.
“This is his message.”
But Ceylon spoke first.
“What? Message… ?”
“Yes. They assumed this situation and left me a message with this mask.”
“… “
They kept their cool even when Ceylon took out the smiling mask, the symbol of a smiling face.
But at Ceylon’s words, they finally showed their bewilderment on their faces.
They. Right arm and smiling face.
They perfectly foresaw and arranged this situation?
In an instant, the three knight commanders felt as if they were playing on top of a giant palm.
On the palm of someone other than the patriarch.
“Are you asking us to believe it now?”
Kualin smiled gently. That mechanical smile reminded me of a metal full of cold that would freeze my skin if I touched it.
“Be honest! Ceylon. We’ve been suspecting that you’re the Right Hand or the Smiley Face! In that sense, ask! How do you think we will take this situation now!”
“At this point, I’ll stop playing, smiley face.”
“hahahaha, this is true.”
Ceylon looked at the leader of the three knights and scratched the back of his head.
“This is embarrassing.”
“Did they not expect this kind of reaction?”
Kualin made a sarcastic remark with a gentle face.
At that, Ceylon shook his head.
“No. No, that’s not what I mean.”
Ceylon let out a deep sigh.
Stuffiness. Disappointed. Those feelings came out.
“Guys, do you guys think this situation is right?”
“Suddenly?”
“Enough with pointless bullsh*t.”
“It’s not sudden, it’s not pointless. It’s a reasonable question, folks!”
Ceylon proudly appealed despite being shrunken by the prestige of the three knights.
“I dare ask. If the true Harasin hadn’t intervened, what would have happened to you students?”
“…”
“The daughters of the great families would have been kidnapped by warlocks. The other students would have strangled themselves. That’s it! If the real Harasin had intervened just a bit too late, this would have happened!”
“No, that wouldn’t have happened. We had already acted.”
Argon shook his head with a full expression.
Then Ceylon shook his head even more than that.
“No. No. You guys must have been late. When the right arm solved everything and broke the barrier. Weren’t you guys ready to break the barrier only then? Am I wrong?”
The kid in front of you doubts the Great Council and defends the Assassin.
It was an atrocity that the usual knight commanders would never have tolerated.
“…”
But the three knight commanders didn’t take any action.
I couldn’t get drunk.
What Ceylon said was certainly true.
Only the true Harasin is not late.
The true Harasin certainly saved the lives of countless students.
The three knight commanders were clearly aware of this fact.
But why are you wary of the true Harasin?
It was decided.
The true leader of Harasin.
The right arm.
Because he was an assassin.
The assassins known to the world were, without exception, terrible murderers.
The prejudice built up with countless blood was not something that could be destroyed with a single feat.
Just. Even so, the achievements of the true Harasin did not become false.
So they were confused.
However, the one who keeps the balance of the world must not fall into confusion.
To prevent confusion, they have tried to cover up their consideration of the true nature of Harasin.
But now Ceylon brought it up again.
“You don’t have to acknowledge us. However, you shouldn’t deny us. The more you deny us, the more you distance yourself from us. The harder it is for us to help you.”
“We never asked for your help!”
Argon insisted on dispelling the great confusion that shook his head.
“We never asked you for anything in return.”
“…”
“If there is anything we demand from you – it would be neglect or neglect. Is that too much of a demand?”
“You guys are… Too dangerous to leave unattended.”
“No. That’s wrong.”
“Are you saying you’re safe? Assassins, but with great power?”
“That’s not it… Folks, have you ever thought of it that way?”
Ceylon said, bringing the mask of a smiling face he had been tinkering with to his face.
“It’s not a dangerous thing to neglect, it’s a dangerous thing to oppose-“
“…!”
Creepy!
The three knight commanders trembled with indescribable emotions.
Ceylon did nothing.
Do not unlock hidden power.
The mood didn’t suddenly change either.
I just presented a possibility that they hadn’t dared to imagine.
It was a possibility that the power of the true Harasin could exceed the power of them – the Great Council.
“Bullsh*t!”
The three knight commanders protested convulsively.
Because it wasn’t bullsh*t.
The remarks made by Ceylon clearly contained the truth that penetrated their reality.
They did not consider the true Harasin to be cooperative.
To them, the true Harasin was the object of extermination or the object of use.
Can’t tell if the true Harasin, who has an assassin as the leader, is an enemy or an ally?
No.
Because they did not doubt that the true Harasin’s power was weaker than theirs.
It was absolute confidence.
But from another point of view, it was also an extremely defensive stance.
Absolute confidence that there is no force stronger than the Great Congress. Eager faith soon.
They feared that the peace of the continent established under their leadership would be disrupted by the appearance of a force similar to them.
So I completely ignored that possibility.
By the way, Ceylon has now taken that possibility and put it in front of their eyes.
“It’s too presumptuous. Now that statement is something you- you guys can’t handle.”
Argon-
The three knight commanders drove Ceylon with even more bloody momentum than the moment they tried to attack.
Despite the momentum that made even their allies stand on their toes, Ceylon couldn’t detect any change in attitude.
Is it because he is hiding his face with a mask of a smiling face?
He just said calmly.
“It’s a moment when I think a lot. Was the key to unity not flowers but guns? Did we think too optimistically?”
“This is your last chance. Ceylon-“
“Yes, this is your last chance.”
Ceylon intercepted Argon’s words.
“Will you listen to them? Will you listen to us?”
They stood at a crossroads of choice.
Will they recognize the true God Hara as their equal?
Will they admit the existence of a group with power comparable to the Great Council?
Do you doubt the absolute peace of the continent established under the leadership of the Great Council?
“The true Harassin. Nothing will change. You will head to the Great Council with us.”
That was their answer.
“Ha… My main character…”
Ceylon let out a deep sigh and muttered something incomprehensible.
“Put down the mask and follow the instructions.”
They did not listen to Ceylon.
“Suddenly, I’m reminded of something I picked up the other day.”
So Ceylon no longer listened to them.
“Ah. No. At this point, quoting a quote is too formal, so let’s just say it plainly.
“What does that mean?”
“Three days later. Ragen Plain, located to the east of Arien, a great evil is about to break out in the ancient ruins there. There will probably come a moment when you feel that it is too much to stop with your own strength- At that time, our true Harasin will step in and help you. At that point, will you listen to our story?”
Said Ceylon, putting down the mask he had held over his face.
“Okay. That’s all for my story. It’s time to say goodbye. What should I do? Personally, I think it would be great if we could shake hands and part ways with a smile.”
The three knight commanders started fighting instead of answering.
“Ah, spirit, spirit. My spirit is also true. Just before, you repeatedly emphasized that you prefer the rough way. In the meantime, you forgot that and said this stupid thing.”
Ceylon brought the mask to his face again.
He let go of the hand holding the mask.
The mask stuck to his face and did not come off.
Suddenly, Ceylon was wearing a black robe that seemed to have been cut out of jet black.
“Let’s find out the first reason why you should respect our true Harasin from now on?”
Ceylon slowly raised his right arm.
Then he snapped his fingers.
Just right.
A clear sound spread in all directions.
The moment the sound hits the wall.
The place has changed completely.
“This is…!”
The three knights could not hide their embarrassment.
It was a world of night where two full moons rose like the eyes of a reptile staring at its prey.
“Imagination world…!”
The warlock’s world of images engulfed them.
“This power is-“
“This is ridiculous…”
The density of mana that forms the world of images. Structure.
Kualin and Taran, who grasped that, muttered with stunned faces.
“What- what are you guys doing! Wasn’t he an assassin!?”
According to the will of Smiley Face, an 8-star assassin, the world of warlock’s image was manifested.
The profound world of images that can swallow the three knight commanders.
Kualin murmured dumbfounded.
“Argon. Are you sure he’s an assassin…?”
“That’s for sure! That power! It must have been assassination!”
“…Then, are you sure that the person in front of us right now is smiling?”
“What does that mean-…!”
Tar’an burst into laughter.
“If it is certain that the one who confronted Argon was an assassin, and if it is certain that the one in front of us is that assassin. The problem must be serious! Argon. That person is a warlock! A bishop at the same level – or even higher. A black magician!”
“That means-“
Spells and swords.
Walking two roads at the same time.
This is an impossible story with common sense.
However, from time to time, those who break that common sense appear.
A being gifted with both magic and swordsmanship. Sheep blood.
In the past, there was a hero called Twin Hearts.
Twin-minded Boltane.
Having achieved a 7-star level in swordsmanship, he was evaluated as the strongest among 7-star talents at the time.
Its power was even compared to those of 8 stars, or even more so that it was evaluated.
In addition to the swordsmanship that reached the seven-star level, the magic that reached the seven-star level made it possible.
Voltain was the greatest sheep blood recorded in history.
Numerous talented people gathered their mouths and insisted that it would be no wonder that such a talent did not appear for eternity in the future.
That’s why.
The three knight commanders doubted the identity of the being standing in front of them.
Is he really the same person as the smiling face they know?
At that time.
The smiling face said in a tone as if it were confessing what it had for breakfast.
“Actually, I have one other teacher besides my right arm.”
“…”
For those who couldn’t keep up with the situation, a smiling face said.
“The other day. A dear friend of mine told me this. You can kill someone, and you have a reason to kill him. If you don’t, that person owes you a life.”
The smiley face raised its index finger.
“It seems a bit selfish, but that’s the first reason why everyone should respect our true God Hara. Is it okay to say that?”
The world firmly established within the three knight commanders has cracked.
