Episode 111. Come with me
“father. I am here.”
midnight. The office of Baron Odd Haken.
Outside the door, Aaron spoke in a quiet voice.
“Welcome.”
Upon answering, the door opened.
Aaron looked at Kane for a moment, who opened the door himself, then went inside.
“I think you know why I called you.”
Kane locked the door and came in and sat down on the sofa.
Aaron sat across from him and nodded.
“yes. I know.”
When the resident wizard and Kane were talking, he was right next to him, so he heard everything that was being discussed.
A call came from the Great Temple of the Sephiroth in the capital of the kingdom of Delore.
They held Aaron accountable for turning the agent of divine punishment into porridge, and asked Kane, his father and the owner of the land, to meet alone.
Kane was taken aback at the time, but he didn’t show it and ordered the group to go in and rest.
And as time passed and everyone was asleep, I called Aaron separately.
In my heart, I wanted to congratulate Aaron for achieving a historic feat by holding a large-scale banquet, but I couldn’t afford to because the content I heard through the crystal ball was unusual.
“Could you tell me what they said?”
Aaron asked, leaning forward.
Kane grunted and groaned, then stroked his chin and said.
“I saw you and said you were Azazel’s minion.”
The Church of Light confirmed the purification of Death Landing and the restoration of the forest in Blade Canyon through their investigations over the past few days.
But I didn’t make the judgment that it was a good phenomenon.
Death Landing is the territory of Azazel, where even the greatest heroes have not yet been purified.
The Church concluded that it was the man’s tricks that a territory that had not changed for a thousand years suddenly undergoes such a cataclysm.
“Probably because of the dark elves.”
Aaron smiled as if he knew that.
The biggest reason the church made this judgment was the Dark Elves.
Dark elves are beings created by the corruption of the most noble race of fairies.
The church used that fact to define the dark elves as the first servant of the devil and used it as a means to instill anti-death feelings in people.
I put it in the depths of Death Landing so that it would never come out again, but a kid broke the barrier, so from the point of view of the church, it was like a fire burning in the foot.
“You are right.”
Kane nodded.
As soon as Kane sat down in front of the crystal ball, Archbishop Vinkel of the Great Temple of Delor began a long speech about Aaron’s apostasy.
He talked for a while, and when Kane’s expression got worse and worse, he presented a kind of negotiation plan.
‘If you guide the recruits of the Dark Elves in the manor and tell them where they live, I will forgive you for your sins.’
As expected, what the church wanted was a dark elf.
The purification of Death Landing, the grove of Blade Canyon, and the water of life that appeared there did not matter.
Unless the Dark Elves issue was resolved, the Church would accuse all of it of Azazel’s work.
“As you know, Death Landing is my land. The Dark Elves who live in the Shadow Forest are also my people. Without them, subjugating Azazel would have been impossible.”
Aaron said, eyes widening.
Kane smiled bitterly and shook his head.
“Did you forget what I said earlier?”
‘Wherever I go, whatever pain I go through, Oddhaken will stand behind you.’
Everything he said on the way back to the lord’s castle was sincere.
It is a father’s responsibility to build a bridge if the road is cut off and to attach wings if there is a precipice.
It was not the duty of a father to block the path of his son who was carrying a heavy fate.
“Tomorrow afternoon, Count Arnin will visit the estate. He said he came and declared his support for you.”
“… … yes?”
Aaron widened his eyes.
Kane continued in a calm tone.
“Isn’t Death Landing a land that lost its owner a long time ago? When it is known that such a vast land has been purified, wildcats will come running here and there. However, if the count’s family becomes the sponsor, they won’t be able to help either.”
lately. Right after the conversation with the church was over, Kane asked Count Arnin for crystal ball communication.
And as soon as the communication was connected, he asked to be Aaron’s sponsor.
The Count seemed to be thinking for a while, but soon accepted the son-in-law’s request.
‘This is a bit unexpected.’
A blush came over Aaron’s face.
In order to respond to the protests of the church, it was essential to have the appropriate dignity.
The status of ‘the son of the baron’ and the ‘one who receives the patronage of the count’ is very different.
This meant that Count Arnin, the owner of the western border, officially recognized the credit for the purification of Death Landing, so it was much more difficult to deal with from the Church’s point of view.
‘For some reason, they do pretty things first.’
Even so, I was going to ask the Count for related information sooner or later, but to think of it like this first.
It was rewarding to have worked so hard.
“I understand the surprise. son Even I didn’t expect the count to accept that offer.”
Seeing Aaron’s face, Kane grinned.
With this, Oddhaken and the Arnin family got on the same boat.
A dwarf friend, an arch mage, and even a saint were holding Aaron’s hand, so no matter how much the church, they couldn’t move hastily.
“If the count comes tomorrow, let’s have a small banquet and put our heads together.”
“no.”
From noble mtl dot com
Aaron shook his head at Kane who smiled.
Kane tilted his head and waited for his next words.
Aaron paused for a moment and looked out the dark window.
“I want the banquet to be held as grandly as possible. So that all the people of the estate can enjoy it.”
* * *
next day.
As soon as the day dawned, Baron Oddhaken ordered the entire territory to rest and held a large-scale banquet to celebrate the birth of a hero.
The Yeongju Castle, which no one could enter, became a festival ground that anyone could come in and out, and the residents of the province enjoyed a break cheering for a week’s worth of tax relief and relaxation after a long time.
“Dark elves came to our estate?”
“The Bocchan said he subdued Azazel with them.”
“I heard that the Heretic Questioner came because of them.”
“Is it okay to play like this?”
However, there were also many who voiced their concerns.
This is because the Baron revealed the Dark Elves from the Shadow Forest to the public.
He announced that the Dark Elf was the hidden hero who subdued Azazel with Aaron, and dismissed the bad rumors.
An unconventional remark that completely contradicts the words the church has been preaching about the Dark Elves.
It was only natural that there were voices of concern from all over the territory.
“Count Arnin eats it!”
Afternoon when the festival is in full swing.
The guard guarding the entrance to the Yeongju Hall shouted at the top of his voice.
Soon a large carriage with a scarlet shield on it entered the banquet hall.
“Meet Your Excellency the Count!”
“It is an honor to meet you! dismissal!”
“Have you been well!”
Numerous nobles in the banquet hall stopped what they were doing and bowed.
Count Arnin never personally attended a banquet no matter how large the nobles around him were.
Even when he held a banquet, he only invited those he was really close to or influential, so it was a golden opportunity for the nobles of this place to mix a word.
“At the height of this, the old man was a nuisance. It’s nice to see familiar faces too. Let’s talk about it later and enjoy.”
The count waved roughly at the nobles who were trying to catch his eye somehow and headed for the manor house.
“Are you here? dismissal.”
“See you again. grandfather.”
Kane and Aaron, who were at the entrance of the manor house, bowed their heads to him.
“Come on, nice to meet you, Baron. Aaron, you too.”
Barres looked down at Aaron with the utmost arrogance.
It was an act that could never be done when there were only two of us left, so we had to do it a lot even now.
“bruise! bruise!”
There was a barking sound from between Bares’ crotch, and then a black puppy appeared out of nowhere.
“This guy!”
Bares kicked with a sh*t-chewed expression, but he quickly jumped over his leg and ran to Aaron.
“Stay still. Celves.”
The puppy, called Cerves, floated into the air as it reached Aaron’s feet.
Levitate. Someone had cast levitation magic on him.
“Ki-ing… … .”
Celves floundered in the air for a moment before drooping his ears.
“Gaos.”
Aaron grinned at the kid who had come forward.
Fortunately, it seemed that he had succeeded in making a polymorph potion.
Gaos looked at him disapprovingly and then bowed his head to Kane.
“hello. Your Excellency Baron. My name is Gaos. I was captured by Azazel, and here, Master Aaron, rescued me.”
“Hmm, Aaron had more friends. Nice to meet you, Gaos. By the way, did you just use the magic?”
Kane looked at Gaos with bright eyes.
No matter how you looked at it, this kid didn’t look any older than ten years old.
Now I’m old enough to learn to write, but I’m already using magic.
I was wondering what kind of English it was.
“Gaos was a high-level wizard in the past. I was forced into this body because I refused to become Azazel’s minion. Even though they look like this, their magic skills are still the same, so it will be very helpful.”
Aaron introduced him instead.
Kane looked at Gaos with a puzzled expression.
“I made a mistake here. I know that I am just a child.”
“no. dismissal. Please treat me comfortably.”
“Sure. Treat yourself to your own home and be at ease.”
“yes. Thank you.”
Gaos smiled innocently and nodded.
‘To think I’d have to bow my head to Baron Baron.’
I didn’t like being polite to a young blue guy, but when I saw Aaron’s creepy smile next to me, I lowered my head.
He hadn’t forgotten the threat that he would have fun if he disrespected his father.
“Father, may I speak with Your Excellency the Count for a moment? I have something to tell you about what you said yesterday.”
After the greeting, Aaron looked at Kane and said.
“… … .”
The faces of the two wizards standing in front of them quickly hardened.
“good job. You did very well.”
After a while. The drawing room of Oddhaken Manor House.
Aaron said while stroking Kelves, who had become a puppy.
“What were you thinking when you said you would support me? A nobleman who is thinking about how to eat less of me.”
“Are you sure you didn’t intend to tear everything apart just to rebuild Death Landing? I was just looking into the future. I never did that because you were pretty.”
“Hmm, yes. It’s better to get it out first than to get caught and stripped of your hair.”
“… … .”
Barres glared at Aaron with a poop-chewed face.
This guy who didn’t even have blood on his head had a special talent for scratching people’s insides.
“By the way, do you have thoughts or not? Turning the Heretic Questioner into porridge and holding such a grand festival? Are you going to turn the power of the Church across the continent into an enemy?”
He beat his chest as if exasperated, and continued.
At a time when Baron Oddhaken should have quietly discussed a countermeasure, he held a fief-scale festival and announced that the Dark Elves were his friends.
The act of giving taffy to the church, which has been running rampant due to the appearance of the Dark Elves and the rise of the Heretic Questioner.
Bares was convinced that this was Aaron’s plan.
There was no way Kane, who was known for being prudent, would do something crazy like this.
“I killed Azazel, so I have to hold a festival like this.”
Aaron grinned and waved Azazel’s horn in front of his eyes.
Barres closed his eyes as if he didn’t want to see them.
“What are you going to do next? No matter how much the saintess is on our side, it is nothing compared to the power of the church.”
“To catch an ogre, you have to enter the ogre’s den.”
“… … Are you planning to go to the Great Temple of Delor?”
“no. deeper than that.”
“You’re crazy.”
Barres said with a puzzled face.
Aaron was planning to invade the headquarters of the Church of Light, the Church of Zeroth.
“Zeros is not a place you can go to if you want to. Only high-ranking nobles of counts or higher or envoys authorized by the king… … for a moment. I hope you.”
Bares, who had been talking while shaking his head, widened his eyes.
Aaron grinned and placed Azazel’s horn in his hand.
“Come with me. to Zero.”
