Episode 20
Byron looked at the count’s second Confucius with eyes full of emotion.
“Arrest the lord!”
“Yes! All right.”
“You must immediately catch the bureaucrats who ran away and bring them here.”
“Yes!”
He said that he came to solve a case of disappearance in Gabia’s neighborhood.
“Have you secured all the corruption you found?”
“Yes! After moving everything, we are keeping it safe.”
He not only killed all the necromancers who were the cause of the disappearance, but also became the savior who freed Gavia from the lord who had been tyrannical for a long time.
The soldiers are moving fast.
A man, who had been covered in dirt as if he had rolled to the ground, was dragged between them.
The opportunists who followed corruption and tyranny took a break and ran away, and to relieve their resentment, the villagers took their feet off their feet and helped the soldiers.
All kinds of shouts and noises were filled with the commotion that occurred because of it.
“Julius-sama! We succeeded in catching the runaway treasurer.”
“okay? Make sure you get the testimony that you cheated on the ledger. and… . Well?”
After calming his trembling heart, Byron turned to him, who was at the center of everything.
Julius greeted him as if it was all right as he approached.
“Lord Byron.”
“Prince Julius. Thank you so much for freeing Gavia from a long agony.”
Until yesterday, the permanent residents had no choice but to endure persecution. But what about now? Looking around, there was no one without a smile on their face.
“Sir Byron, don’t say that. This was what I, the son of the countess, had to do.”
Byron shook his head.
How many evil nobles are there in the world? Even aristocrats who do not view commoners as equals are overflowing.
Because of that, he didn’t even expect Julius at first.
The nobles who rule Gavia are like that, is it different from the nobles who rule this land?
Byron thought so.
That’s no different.
it’s all the same
Add to that the notoriety of being a fool, so you can’t have any expectations.
‘It was different.’
Hearing the summary of the incident, he immediately revealed the truth of the incident, and did not cover up the lord of Gavia as the same nobleman.
His image of him staring into the air for a moment and immersed in thought was already famous among those around him.
‘Yes, this is him.’
He recalled his convictions.
‘I was going to become a knight.’
Using prana, I didn’t become a real knight, so I tried to make my actions real.
In general, using either magic or prana can be recognized as a knight, but recognition is not.
So, even though he used magic, he tried to become a true knight.
A true follower has appeared, is it right to stand still?
‘I can’t believe the rumors. To demean such a person as an idiot… .’
People can only know when they really meet, and the bad rumors in the territory must have been someone’s conspiracy.
Byron had already bowed her head to Julius.
“Thanks to Confucius, many people have been able to envision the future.”
At first, I was worried that little Confucius would help the city.
However, I saw the spirit of his progress in defeating the necromancer, and he saw a strong force that was not worthy of his age as he entered the battle.
And now.
“Is it okay if I dare take Confucius Julius as my lord?”
I saw his sincere consideration for the young people.
Julius replied with a happy face as if he had waited.
He struggled to hold back his laughter with a solemn face, but he smiled as he couldn’t hold back the excitement that followed.
finally.
‘Byron has been recruited.’
Knight of Order Byron.
The only person who entered the Berserk Knights, the most prestigious knights on the continent, said that only knights with prana can enter despite the use of magical powers.
I was giving up because my past was not clear, so I guess I was here.
“Byron, allow me to be your knight.”
A lot of effort went into recruiting him.
He played a figure that suited his ideals, and gave an answer he would like to ask a question that was slyly asked.
Among them, he also solved the quests, raised his reputation by catching the evil lord, and succeeded in setting up a huge ball.
Julius laughed out loud at the situation where everything was going smoothly.
“I wish you all the best in the future.”
without knowing anything.
Allen escaped the cave and reunited with the party they had separated from.
They were waiting in front of the cave with a few soldiers.
“Confucius!”
“Prince Allen.”
Linbell and Enelia seemed to have escaped the cave safely. It must have been easy to get out of the cave since everything you could see from the moment you entered the cave was destroyed.
Linbell approached him and bowed his head at the same time.
“Thank you, Confucius.”
Her eyes were swollen.
“Thank you for saving my mom.”
She bowed her head several times.
Allen did not hesitate to say thank you. That would be her own apology.
‘You look better.’
It was a little different from what he saw in the city, but it was better than the expression he had when he was with Francisca.
Looking back at Inellia, she smiled brightly and bowed her head in the same way.
“Thank you for saving our mother and daughter.”
She was smiling no different than Linbell. However, upon closer inspection, her eyes had also turned red.
Allen felt complex emotions, a mixture of the achievement of achieving the purpose of coming here and the bitterness of not being able to completely prevent the damage.
“okay. Please help me in the future.”
“Yes, for sure! I will work really hard!”
You need to correct your speech habits first, and learn manners.
Allen was terrified if she had heard of it, and asked the whereabouts of the party not present.
Few soldiers here meant the battle was over.
“Where are the other soldiers? How about Miss Francisca?”
“He… .”
Inelia smiled awkwardly and looked at the other side of the forest.
Allen’s expression hardened. What happened? Looking at the soldiers, their expressions were not good either.
“Isn’t the battle over yet?”
“No, the battle is over… . that,”
As Allen looked at Linbell as she was speechless, she looked upset, as if she had thought of something.
As Allen turned to the men, one of their senior soldiers quickly approached and spoke.
“Prince Allen, the other soldiers… .”
tried to open
– aa
Before the soldier could even explain the situation, screams began to resound from the forest. Allen hurriedly moved toward the sound, and the two followed reluctantly.
The soldiers didn’t have a good expression on their faces, but they hurriedly followed Allen’s back.
Allen was puzzled by the reaction and headed to the source of the sound. The screams grew louder as she got closer.
– I, please! aah!
-Stop, stop killing. human! me… . turn it off
Allen’s expression subtly changed at the sound he heard as he moved gradually.
When he finally got to the place, he could see.
A 3m tall chimera wriggling with arms and legs cut off. Unlike before, when he was not strong enough, his horns and even one of his eyes had been plucked out, and he had changed into a shabby figure.
And she who created the situation turned her head.
“Oh, Confucius, have you dealt with the Chimera Magician?”
She walked over to him, wiping the green blood from her cheek with her sleeve.
The remaining soldiers were waiting by the side just in case, but all of them had their faces turned blue.
“… Yes, but that… .”
“not! Master is not dead! master! If you can hear me, help this faithful servant… aah!”
When Allen stopped speaking, she frowned and slipped her hand into the man’s cracked stomach.
“Oh my, you stopped talking… I keep not listening. sorry. Confucius.”
Allen accepted her apology with a frown on her face.
Obviously, from what Allen remembered, that chimera called Legnol was quite arrogant.
But what is the view now?
“Stop, stop! Don’t show organs in front of my eyes! my master! please! I know you are alive! Please, please help me!”
“I haven’t come to my senses yet.”
Linbell looked sickly because he was not used to such a scene.
Enelia looked at the scene without emotion. It was a sight she had already seen many times. I don’t know about her daughter, but it didn’t affect her much.
Francisca, who had been tormenting Regnoll for a while, turned quiet, then wiped her hands and stood up.
Seeing this, the soldiers hurriedly took a few steps back.
“… Is there any reason you haven’t killed him yet?”
“One reason is because of its continuously regenerating nature, and the other is… .”
She pointed to the Chimera, giving a very magical reason.
“To study magic. There are a lot of similarities to the strain I’m studying, so there are things to know.”
She shrugged.
Allen could understand what she was saying.
What would be strange for a wizard to act to gain knowledge?
The magic line she uses is a line she will create herself in the future.
Therefore, unlike the future, she, who is not perfect, seemed to refine the system by devouring various knowledge. Allen smiled at her answer.
“Then I think this will help a lot.”
He saw the new flesh sprouting from the surface of his severed arm, and materialized one of the two lines connected to him.
She looked at it with curious eyes and then hurriedly approached it.
“no way.”
“This is a contract that led to that Chimera and Jin name. Perhaps because of his low spirituality, he had a close adoration of the Chimera Magician.”
It’s the same as calling for Deber, who had died before. Allen’s eyes stared at him wriggling like worms.
“Perhaps that’s why the chimera sorcerer thinks he’s alive.”
Francisca, whose eyes lit up at his explanation, spoke quickly.
“Confucius, could you possibly give me that chimera? A reasonable price… .”
“Yes, I will.”
Perhaps she was surprised that she was willing to allow it more than she thought, and she blinked quickly.
“You helped me for free, what could you not give me?”
From the moment I got this, I thought so.
There were many places to use that chimera. It can be used as an escort, or if that doesn’t work, it can also be used for shooting arrows or solving traps.
But if this could pay off the debt I owe her.
‘A price well worth paying.’
And it wasn’t that useful to him.
With a hideous appearance, the essence is evil… .
‘Devil?’
Allen came up with one of the hypotheses that led to his regression.
The possibility that the regression is related to the devil.
‘Hmm… , but it doesn’t have the characteristic sticky feeling of the devil… .’
Before returning, Allen paused for a moment because of the sense of alienation that was different from the one he felt while facing the devil himself at the end.
“Confucius?”
“ah. it’s nothing.”
Allen stopped thinking before she felt strange, and connected her with one of the two lines that connected him.
‘I’ll ask her later to check it out.’
What was different and where did you feel the difference?
It was something to check.
The moment Allen drew the line to her, the droopy body began to convulse like crazy.
“no! Can not be done! this, this… . No way, no, no, no, no! master! Please help! please! please!”
Francisca came to her senses as Regnoll went mad, and stared blankly at the line that followed her.
“For now, I will temporarily fulfill the contract. Frindal-sama is also well versed in the contracting system, so we can ask for adjustments later.”
He simply flicked his hand.
A complex string of strings shot out of Allen’s body instantly wrapped around the line connecting her and Legnol.
He gave a subtle expression to the effect of the contract felt in the line.
‘The restrictions are not very strong from the beginning.’
At the very least, is it all that prevents them from leaving a certain area?
Then, it was understandable why Inelia was able to stand against him with a real name contract.
“Wow… . That is magic.”
Linbell let out a blank exclamation with a pale face.
Perhaps it was the first time seeing magic in such detail, the soldiers were staring blankly at the scene as if possessed.
Allen continued his work regardless of the gaze.
As he scraped through the air as if writing something, the string wrapped around the line burst open and sucked into Regnol’s head.
Regnol raised her torso and slammed her head to the ground, purely from her belly button.
-bang! bang! bang!
Francisca, the string burst and was absorbed by her as well. She was nervous about her upcoming pain, but she didn’t suffer as much as she expected.
As she turned her head, Allen asked with a small smile.
“I can’t do any harm to Miss Francisca, can I?”
She quietly rolled her eyes.
“… Do you feel good about being deceived?”
“I’m sorry if you were offended. Because you seemed too nervous.”
Allen shrugged and Francisca sighed.
In fact, it was true that Regnol was hardened by his painful appearance. The soldiers, who had been dazed by his joke, came to their senses.
The magic worked smoothly as they chatted for a while, and after a few moments Regnol approached her with an unfeeling expression on her face.
To be precise, ‘gear’ came.
“I will give everything in the future. my new lord.”
She smiled happily as if she was quite satisfied with it.
“… After all, I am looking forward to the study period in the future.”
Regnoll eventually became Francisca’s servant, and Enelia was rescued safely.
“It’s over.”
The chimeras that attacked the city should have been dealt with by now, and all the chimeras that attacked them were also defeated, so all that was left was the post-processing.
Allen looked around the cave for a moment with unknown eyes, then woke up to the voice calling out in front of him.
A desolate wind blew from behind and quietly wrapped around him.
“Go back.”
