I see your code (124)
A month has passed since I returned to the city with Rivera.
The sporadic monster wave almost stopped, and among the stationed knights, there was a lot of talk about how long they had to stay here.
Originally, this is the time to be most nervous, but it is also harsh to demand vigilance from knights who do not know anything.
They still think they’re here simply because of the Monster Wave.
The Balrog alone would have been enough to surprise you, but it was clear that he could not have imagined a disaster like Baphomet.
Personally, I would just like to say it, but Vincent refused. It’s a state secret.
After looking all over, I tried to see if confidentiality was that important, but I held back.
It’s nothing to argue with Vincent, and it wouldn’t change much if the knights said they knew anyway.
In fact, if it was the power that would have prevented me from being prepared, there would be no reason for me to be here in the first place.
Anyway, due to such circumstances, there is not much left for me to do. For example, staying at home and practicing.
“It’s finally today.”
I muttered quietly as I stared at the barrel in the corner. It’s a magic drink I made a month ago. As if ripening was over just in time, magical energy that seemed to explode outside was pouring out. Even though he was clearly trapped inside a barrel with the magic cut-off.
I don’t know how much energy I have. There has never been anything like that in the game.
“If I hadn’t eaten the giant’s heart and the gooseberry plant last time, my body might not have been able to stand it.”
Whoa!
As I swallowed my saliva and opened the lid, the magical energy that had been condensed inside the barrel became smoke and spewed out.
It is clearly an invisible, intangible energy, but it has taken on a form because the amount is so large.
I did not miss any of it and absorbed it all into my body.
I just collected what I was trying to scatter like that, but with that alone, I had to suffer for several months and build up the amount of magic that I had to train.
“… … Even if I ate it, I might not be able to stand it.”
It seemed that some of the ingredients in it had an abnormal reaction with each other. Otherwise, the energy would not have been amplified this far.
I think this is the most powerful elixir in the history of Velia.
He pulled out a small glass from a nearby storage box and filled it with magic wine. And he wiggled his fingers.
At the same time, a light flashed from the back of his right hand, bursting with excitement! There was a slight spark in the hand holding the glass. It is Rivera’s ability that is now in her tattoo.
When the contents inside are moderately heated. I snapped my fingers again. The flames that had been forming all over his hand disappeared as if they had ever existed.
As a token of my gratitude, I stroked the tattoo a little, and poured the glass into my mouth. and after some time.
“Ugh… … .”
Immediately, my body began to tremble. Suddenly, too much magical power comes in, causing a rejection reaction.
How come these days, it seems like this is happening all the time. I shook my head to shake off my thoughts, sat down and calmly entered the fortune.
* * *
Dike didn’t really like the vibe of the city these days. All of them are busy hanging out together as if everything is over, but if it’s really over, there’s no way they’re still here.
Five hundred knights are a powerful force that cannot be teased blindly even from the kingdom’s point of view.
Still, if you leave it alone, even if you don’t know about the disaster, it’s right to guess what’s going to happen.
‘Is this the limit of knight academy education?’
Dike thought of that as he looked at his comrades who didn’t move without orders. As I felt in Balrog’s Nest, these humans are too used to being passive.
For a simple soldier, that may be sufficient, but knights often engage in outdoor activities like this. This means that there are many things that we have to make decisions and move on our own.
But what did the knights look like in such a situation?
It’s like who has the authority to give orders, or just sending out 5th graders to take the time. Didn’t he just keep saying absurd things over and over again? Had it not been for Sir Dante, Argon would have suffered a lot of damage there.
‘Right now, Commander Vincent and Sir Dante are the only people in the city thinking and moving properly.’
They are also people who know about disaster.
‘It can’t be like this either. At least if you don’t plan something.’
However, the commander, no matter how promising Drake, was not an easy person to meet and consult with. Then there is only one left.
Dick nodded firmly and moved forward. This is the high-end inn where Dante is staying.
‘Come to think of it, I haven’t seen him for almost a month.’
He went to the capital as soon as the Balrog nest job was over, and after returning, he never stayed in the room.
I don’t know if I was even practicing training.
No, it certainly will.
Dike had never seen a single person who could be called a model for a knight as much as Dante.
‘It would not be possible to achieve great results in just one month of training, but even in this kind of situation, such passion… … .’
Although I hadn’t seen it in person yet, the evaluation of Dante in Duke went up endlessly. It was around the time that he was gradually developing his inner fantasies.
‘… … what?’
Duke suddenly stopped walking. It was because there was an unbelievable amount of energy flowing out of the inn where Dante was staying.
There are usually two such cases.
That the knights are getting promoted, or that a powerful being is emitting power.
But the former doesn’t make sense. Considering Dante’s status a month ago, it’s impossible to be promoted at this point no matter what happens.
So now all that’s left is that a powerful being is emitting power… … Only the commander, Vincent, could radiate that kind of energy in the city right now.
‘Vincent-nim will never do that.’
Even though he has first-class skills, Vincent doesn’t enjoy solving problems with his own strength. Even if Dante had done something wrong, it was unlikely that he would use force to end it with a disciplinary level.
Didn’t Dante even set a huge ball? Any kind of thing will be a consideration.
‘… … Perhaps a disaster has come?’
Dake hardened his complexion at the possibility that suddenly appeared. And I started judging.
If it’s a disaster over there… … Nothing will change if he intervenes. Because he’s a monster that is estimated to be a first-class monster. If he said he would go, it would be like adding one more corpse.
So, rationally, he should step down and call for support.
‘However… … Before that, Sir Dante will die.’
Dike remembered debts he hadn’t yet paid off to Dante. From carrying knights in flying boats to helping get rid of Balrog’s nest.
Each one of them is large enough to have to be repaid at the kingdom level.
‘But, as a knight of the Argonne Kingdom, I cannot ignore Sir Dante’s danger.’
Thinking so, Duke firmly nodded his head. And without hesitation, he took out his sword and rotated the magic of his body. fault! At the same time as the foot slammed, the body immediately floated to the height of the third floor of the inn.
‘Compression.’
Instantaneous overload. But Dike ignored the pain with a slight frown.
‘… … It may be impossible to overcome disaster, but at this speed, it might be possible to run away with Sir Dante.’
With that in mind, he blew his sword towards the front with all his might.
Aww!
The third-floor wall of the inn was torn down like a sheet of paper. Dike ran once more and tucked himself into it.
‘shit! I can’t see anything because of the dust!’
Because he poured all his energy into the compression, there was no mana left to enhance the glow of his eyes. Finally he shouted out loud.
“Sir Dante! Where are you! You must run away now!”
No answer was heard. Are you already dead? The moment Dake’s expression turned into despair.
Whew!
A sudden wind blew from the center of the room, driving away all the dust. Duke turned his gaze towards it.
“… … I don’t know what the hell this is.”
There, Dante, with a bewildered face, was staring at him coldly.
“It would be better to explain now. Before I attack.”
At the slight but lively voice, Duke trembled.
* * *
“… … So I thought disaster was coming here, I mean. Without any fuss, they’re aiming for me who’s not even a commander.”
“… … Well, I don’t have time to think about that… … .”
“Is that all excuses?”
“… … sorry.”
Duke bowed his head with a sullen face. He seems to admit that it is an inference that makes no sense even if he thinks it is.
I felt the urge to shred the back of the head, sighing, and withdrew my hand.
okay. Although the ability is good, there is a setting that sometimes makes a big mistake. Now, who are you going to blame? To be honest, it’s the developer’s fault who wrote that.
Soon after, Dake bowed to the innkeeper who had come up with wide-eyed eyes, and I used wind and water to clean up the wreckage.
Rather, it was cut so neatly that it did not take too long to clean. Surprisingly, there were not many broken items. Well, the walls were a little flat, though.
“… … I’m really sorry.”
Dake, who was kneeling on the floor, apologized once again.
“I’m like this when I cursed other knights for being short-minded… … . I can’t think of anything to say. If there is even a mouse hole, I want to dig into it.”
Then he lowered his head to the point of almost touching the floor. It’s not like you’re trying to dig a real mouse hole. I said in a hoarse voice.
“The apology is now. If you really want to, do it to the innkeeper.”
“… … I also did something very sorry to him. Even my life if you need it… … .”
“no. It’s not going to happen.”
After that, I spent a lot of time soothing Dake. He said he would pull out his tongue if he said he was sorry one more time, but he asked me to do so, and he put out his real tongue and made me embarrassed.
Still, did my desperate efforts pay off? Dike finally calmed down. At least it stopped saying sorry. He looked around, still on his knees.
“… … By the way, is it okay if I ask you something?”
“Tell me.”
“If it weren’t for disaster, then what was that huge amount of magic wave?”
Oh, that’s what I was curious about.
I shrugged my shoulders slightly.
“You must have been through it a few times. If there was a magic wave in the knight’s house, there would be only one case.”
“… … no way.”
Dike’s eyes widened in a circle. I tried not to show my gloomy feelings, and spoke in a voice that was as calm as possible.
“okay. That’s right.”
He rotated his magical power and spit it out. An incomparable amount of energy filled the room. He spoke calmly to Dake, who looked at it with a blank face.
“I have just reached level 3,” he said.
