32 Agnes imperial council (1)
“ Master, I met that woman. that… … Is that Lane Dranir?”
These were the words of Riusina, who had arrived first, to Shion who had returned to Chimseonggung.
“ Was it on the outskirts of the capital? You were robbing the 4th Prince’s guys, but they suddenly appeared and ran to you?”
The witch’s voice saying that was very light, but the content was quite interesting to Sion.
“ Tell me more.”
According to the original chronicle, there was no way Rein Dranir was in the capital at this time.
It was time to join the hero after completing training with growing anger towards Riusina.
“ I wasn’t alone, I was with a girl with silver hair. Do you feel like you are much stronger than before? It’s hard to deal with without killing it. So I pretended to be a good person and then backed off, are you okay?”
According to her original personality, she would never have saved the existence that attacked her, but Riusina remembered what Sion had said about Lane Dranir in the past.
“ What kind of warrior’s comrade is that? That’s why the owner said it was useful.”
“ Right. Well done.”
Liu Sina smiles as if she is happy at the rare compliment that comes out of Shion’s mouth.
It was very attractive, but Shion thought of something as she looked at the teacup instead of that smile.
‘ A woman with silver hair… … .’
The probability of being a warrior was very high.
Even in the chronicles, the warrior Flosimar had silver hair, and hair of that color was not very common in the Empire.

Moreover, he even stayed by Lane Dranir’s side.
‘ Did the story change again?’
I couldn’t help but think that way.
Like Lane, the hero was originally not supposed to be in the capital at this time.
If you think about it, the original content was changed considerably due to Zion’s own intervention, so it was natural that it would affect other developments as well.
The problem is that it is not known whether the changed development is really for the better or for the worse.
‘You ‘ll see if you watch it.’
In fact, it hardly ever got worse.
Because the original development was the worst.
‘ I don’t think there’s any need to go and meet the hero right now.’
At first, I thought it would be better to attach only the eyes.
at that time,
“ Sir Zion.”
Thierry entered the study.
Seeing him as if he had something to say, Shion turned his head towards him.
“The movement of the 5 Princess side is strange. They seem to be aiming this way.”
“ Are you aiming this way?”
“ When Your Majesty was in Ascalonga, we received information that the 5th Princess was tracking the eyes of the moon. I’m probably going to do some tricks on that.”
Thierry speaks in a calm tone, as if going for a walk in the mountain behind, with information that would never normally be found.
He was also the head of the ‘Shadow of Eternity’ that existed at the peak of all the intelligence organizations of the Empire.
Once again, Shion thought that it was the right choice to get ‘Shadow of Eternity’ first.
Because there was no way to completely widen the gap as much as the dominance of information.
“ I expected it to move around this time.”
“ What would you like to do?”
Shion smiled softly at Thierry’s question.
“ Of course we have to move.”
“ Shall we send power to the moon’s eye in advance?”
“ No.”
Shion shook her head.
Although not reaching the shadows of eons, the Eye of the Moon was also one of the top intelligence organizations in the capital.
Therefore, the preparation for the attack must also be perfect.
Even without Zion’s own help, this kind of work could be solved enough.
“ I’m going to hit Diena.”
An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.
Zion liked to put these words into practice.
No, beyond that, he enjoyed pulling out the roots of enemies who touched his own.
‘ It would be good to cut out the eyes of Diena in moderation this time.’
Did he even expect Zion to say that?
“ Most of the information organizations on the side of the 5th Princess in the capital have been identified.”
Thierry responded with a smile to Shion.
“ Master, shall I go? No, I will go!”
A young, leaning voice came out of the mouth of Liusina, who was next to him.
He seemed to think that if he participated in this mission, he would be able to kill more people.
“ You should finish from the Utekan side first.”
But Shion shook his head.
“ Because there are guys who will move separately here.”
The Twilight Blade received from the Ascalon family.
Zion was planning to test their abilities at this point.
“ Hmm, okay, Master. Instead, you must take me with you the next time you go.”
At those words, Liu Shina quietly backed away.
Thierry looked at her from the side with a curious look.
He knew exactly who Riusina was.
Therefore, it was surprising to see how Shion was controlling her so perfectly.
“ Yes.”
After giving a brief reply to Liusina, Shion pushed the thought about him to one side in his head.
It seemed that Diena’s work would be enough, and now there is something else to be concerned about.
‘ I have to sort out the disasters soon.’
The highest level of harm in the empire that was originally called the 7th Plague, but has now become the 6th Plague by Zion.
Such disasters were very difficult and difficult to deal with individually, but they did not have a significant impact on the Empire compared to the value of its name so far.
‘ But not in the future.’
The vacancy of the throne due to the death of Urdios.
As the chaos of the empire that started from that deepens, the disasters also grow with a terrifying force.
And in the end, it becomes one of the main causes of eroding the power of the empire when fighting a war with the devil.
So Zion was planning to arrange all the disasters before that.
‘ There are things to be gained while dealing with disasters.’
One of the keys to hunting Utekan.
Of course, it was impossible for Zion to handle all six plagues alone.
But in Zion, there were people who could handle the disasters on his behalf.
“I have one thing to do.”
After thinking, Shion opens her mouth to Thierry.
A new plan was emerging in Zion’s mind.
* * *
“ All… … All the news?”
“… … That’s right.”
To Utekan’s question with a trembling voice, the demons in front of them bowed their heads even more.
Utekan is silent for a moment.
His eyes were full of light that he could not believe the current situation.
“ What nonsense… … .”
I had no choice but to do so.
Even just a day ago, news from all the demons that had encroached on the Ascalon family was cut off at once.
This was information that Utekan himself would not have known if he had not felt unlucky and had not sent demons to the Ascalon family.
what the hell happened
I couldn’t even get a feel for it.
“ Obviously… … After the summons to California was issued, the news was cut off.”
If so, there is a high probability that the event occurred in a place where all members of the family were gathered by the summons order.
Plus, it must have something to do with Zion Agnes, who visited Ascalon.
Of course, there was no physical evidence about him, but his heart was certain.
Because, in the present empire, only Zion Agnes could do such a thing against demons.
‘ I hope it all happened… … .’
No, it couldn’t be.
I couldn’t.
Of the monsters that permeated Ascalon, there were hundreds of those that Utekan himself knew.
In addition, the number of advanced demons was also considerable.
‘ It’s impossible for even him to separate and deal with such monsters one by one.’
Although he shook his head so painstakingly, a slight uneasiness was rising in Utekan’s mind.
Wasn’t it similar to when Hanosral and his immediate units were defeated?
at that time,
“ Utekan-sama, we just received information from the Ascalon side.”
A new demon appeared urgently and opened his mouth to Utekan.
“ What? Tell me.”
“ The reason Sword King Ludwig issued the summons was to eliminate all the forces on our side that had permeated the family.”
Up to that point, Utekan’s expression did not change because it was something he had guessed from the beginning.
However, at the following demonic words, his face began to harden seriously.
“ And when all the people gathered, it is said that Zion Agnes who was there identified the disguised demons, and the extermination immediately followed!”
“… … !”
It was the moment when the anxiety that had risen in my heart a while ago turned into reality.
Of course, it may not be accurate because it was information from Ascalon, not directly obtained.
But that’s how it all worked out.
“ How… … How did you tell them apart?”
Utekan asks with burning eyes.
“ I haven’t been able to get it until now.”
As if it was difficult to look into his eyes, the demon lowered his head more and replied.
At that answer, Utekan’s face began to contort beyond hardening.
This was a big deal.
No, it was a crisis that was not enough to say that it was a big deal.
It was a crisis so great that it was nothing to the Ascalon family’s monsters.
‘ If there really was a way to identify the hidden monsters in Zion Agnes… … .’
If you make a mistake, the identity of all the monsters in the empire could be revealed.
As it has not been announced yet, it seems that the method is not perfect, but it must be a matter of time before it will be completed.
‘ Before that, you have to stop it somehow.’
The eyes of Utekan with young urgency.
Perhaps, the great line of magic that had spanned over a hundred years could have been shattered.
‘ Should I do it myself?’
It was at that time that a deep thought lingered in his mind.
Suck!
“ Sir.”
The two demons, feeling their popularity, disappeared, and at the same time, one of Utekan’s servants entered the room.
As if he had come in a hurry, Suha’s face was remembered.
“ What’s going on?”
Utekan asks Suha.
At Suha’s answer that followed immediately, his eyes began to turn suspicious this time.
“ Prince Zion held an imperial family meeting.”
* * *
The night just before sunrise is the darkest of the day.
In the middle of such a night, Lucas Ascalon was looking at a gigantic oval building that was slowly lit up.
Humil Art Museum.
It was quite famous in the capital because of its high-quality art work and opening hours from dawn.
However, Lucas, who had already received information from the shadows, knew.
That that place is one of the hidden intelligence organizations of the 5th Princess Diena.
“ His Majesty Zion gave the first instructions.”
The emotionless voice that came out of Lucas’ mouth.
His face was as cold as if he was about to freeze at any moment.
A completely different look than usual, overflowing with passion.
This was the true form of him leading the Twilight Blade, the hidden sword of Ascalon.
No, it was correct to say that it was one of the two aspects he had.
“ Erase all life there before sunrise.”
Lucas knew.
That this was a test that Prince Zion placed on himself and the Twilight Swordsman.
A test to prove how useful they are to him.
Lucas liked Prince Zion so much that he was determined to pass this test more perfectly than ever before.
“ There are no exceptions. Don’t let a single person breathe, regardless of gender or age.”
With that horse, Lucas was wearing the black mask he was holding in his hand.
The mask, engraved with a strange expression and engraved pattern, was nothing more than a symbol of the Twilight Swordsman.
Use to cover one’s face while at the same time intimidating others.
and the next moment,
self!
A new model of Lucas was shot towards the museum at great speed.
Behind him, the members of the Twilight Swordsman begin to follow while wearing the same mask.
The appearance of not a single footstep sound even though a large number of people were moving at once was more than shocking, but even strange.
Scratch!
Lucas and the Twilight Swordsman enter the museum while simultaneously cutting the heads of the guards guarding the outside at once.
So after they entered,
hook! hook! hook!
The lights of the museum started to go out one by one.
