“Kiran… … ?!”
From noble mtl dot com
Seeing Cassena blink in disbelief, I looked at the young man’s face once more.
Hey, this person… … ?
Isn’t that the young wolf you saw at the cadre meeting earlier? He said he saw Cassena at the Sega Conference… … .
“Kiran, are you really Kiran?”
“I was really surprised. The tomboy who climbed the outside wall throughout the Sega meeting and made it impossible for the adults to even have a meeting appeared as a lady like this.”
Kiran smiled at Cassena and then looked at me and smiled sadly.
“You couldn’t even say your name earlier, Lane. I am Kiran Wolf Vlado.”
Vlado, Vlado Prince.
It was a clan with blood magic that amplified the power of magic using blood as a blood kinship limit.
There was one more interesting thing, the existence of a middle name called ‘Wolf’.
That was not an ordinary surname, but an honorary title given only to wizards who graduated from Winterhold, a magical university in the north.
“Actually, I said hello at the family meeting, but you ignored my greeting… … .”
“Oh that… … sorry. At the time, I was, like, adolescence.”
“No, it’s okay. I was very young back then, so it’s worth covering my face.”
I heard later that Kiran first met the five-year-old Cassena at a Sega meeting at our age.
It is also said that the adults became so riotous during the meeting that they entrusted Kiran with the role of babysitter… … .
That’s why they became special like siblings, but after that, Cassena injured her leg and Kiran enlisted in the Baekrangdae, so there was no need for them to see each other.
“however… … Do you believe in me? Earlier, other executives didn’t believe me.”
Instead of answering, Kiran took something out of his bosom.
Into the darkness, the wealth of the gods that illuminates the surroundings by scattering incomprehensible black light… … A pair of black sheep.
When I exchanged a dumbfounded glance with Cassena, Kiran grinned.
“How can anyone say it isn’t a page when you have this.”
“… … !”
“But being married to Cassena, did the two of you get engaged while I didn’t see it? Your ability to seduce the most beautiful girl in the empire is really good, Rain.”
There was an awkward silence for a while.
It’s really long to tell the story of receiving it, but how can I explain it in detail?
“A man whom His Excellency Madelia recognized as his son-in-law would be a very great wizard, right?”
“No, no, it’s not like that! It’s just me, huh? I gave it to you out of pity for Lane!”
Seeing Cassena screaming loudly and vehemently denying Kiran’s engagement rumors, it seemed that she didn’t like me.
Cassena denied it instead, so there’s no need for me to deny it either. Now was the time to talk about something more important than these trivial topics.
I asked, pressing my face close to the bar with a sense of urgency and welcome.
“But what did you just say? Alaqish is alive?”
“Yeah, there are three survivors who saw Alakish-sama move westward in the form of a dragon.”
In an instant, with a sigh of relief, all strength was released from his body, and he sat down on his knees as if he were slipping.
live… … .
Arakish is alive… … .
It was questionable why he had gone west instead of coming to the Wall, but considering that he had decided to protect Ravenfell from that monster, it wasn’t unconvincing.
“Now it is my turn to ask questions. No, honestly, it’s an urgent situation, so I’d like to release it right away, but there’s something I need to check.”
“… … ?”
“What did you do to the Commander-in-Chief? I know you didn’t mean to hurt me. But when you used your powers, you heard a strange voice.”
“Did you hear Kiran too?”
“Every time I hear it. It seems that the other executives didn’t hear it because of their low magical power sensitivity… … .”
In order not to repeat the same mistake as before, I calmly explained the hypothesis based on my experience in Harbadonia.
It is clear that something has plotted the relationship between humans and beastmen… … And what I got rid of earlier was the 5-star Spirit of Possession.
Kiran, who had calmly listened to the story without the need for Cassena’s help, finally wrinkled his forehead.
“As expected, I was right… … .”
“So, if we leave it as it is now, things will go as they planned. We have to open the barrier door somehow.”
“If the beastmen are on their way to the military base right now, as you said, the door closest to them is… … .”
Then Kiran nodded that way, and immediately another wolf came running and unlocked the prison door with the key.
“The situation is urgent, so let’s talk while moving. Alphonse, release their hands too.”
I couldn’t help but blink because the as-yet unknown plan had progressed so rapidly that Kiran handed me a basket of dragon eggs and a black sheep with both hands free.
“The fact that you were in charge of this must be proof that you have been trusted by Alakish-nim. So you can trust it.”
“… … ?”
“Actually, I had the same thoughts as you. It seems like you confirmed that to be true.”
“What do you mean, Kiran?”
“Actually, this commander-in-chief was friendly to the prisoners before he was elected, no, most commander-in-chiefs were like that if you look at the history of the wall.”
“… … !”
“But once he is elected to the position of Commander-in-Chief, he becomes seriously hostile… … No one really doubted that. I just thought I knew the reality and passed it on.”
Most commander-in-chief… … ?
Before he could even finish his words, his mind went cold.
“It’s him. It must have been the magician of the Spirit of Possession.”
“Oh, I was thinking that too.”
“So what are you going to do now? Why are you releasing us all of a sudden?”
“To send you west.”
“To the west?”
After leaving the prison, the two wolves who were watching nodded to Kiran.
The three wolves, who were probably the prison guards, were lying in a corner, unconscious, with their mouths and bodies bound with ropes.
In the twilight, the barrier shone golden and scattered a strange light on the world, and a strange uneasiness welled up there.
‘It’s already twilight… … .’
how much time has passed It’s only been half a day, right? It couldn’t have gone any further than that. It shouldn’t go past.
As I thought about that, Kiran magically opened a veil of mist and led us to a stone arch across from the guards.
It was a structure that led to the basement, and the wolf running in front picked up a lantern hanging on the outer wall and opened the large oak door.
“It is an underground road leading west. You can go to Seogyumun Gate. Because of Silver Horn, it will be cut off in the middle and have to go to the ground.”
It was a wide passageway that made me wonder if this was really underground, and it was even bright because of the regularly hung lanterns.
Moreover, there were five more wolves in front of the cellar, with ten ponies that were comfortable moving in such a space.
The situation was still incomprehensible, so I could only stare at Kiran, who was the last to enter the cellar, shut the door, and bolted it.
“There is nothing to be surprised about. It means that there are people among the white wolves who have the same thoughts as you. There are more wolves who have been helped by beastmen than I thought.”
Kiran smiled sadly as he climbed into the pony’s saddle while muttering that.
“So did I.”
Cassena, who climbed onto the saddle with my help, was interested in that attitude.
“What happened?”
“It’s a story when I was nineteen. I ran into a violent snowstorm on my first patrol and got separated from the main unit.”
“so? So how did it go?”
“But a beastman warrior helped me reach the barrier. He was a polar bear beast, but he was a very kind, strong, and fun friend.”
As I stepped on the stirrups and climbed into the pony’s saddle while listening to Cassena and Kiran’s conversation, I had to stop and raise my head.
white bear?
Are you a polar bear?
At that moment, I thought of Opus, a white bear who had been vomiting out his resentment that his son had been killed by a wolf he had helped.
“But the senior wolf who opened the door put a knife through the prisoner’s neck. Tried to trick me into entering the barrier? When I asked him what he was doing, he said thank you instead.”
Cassena and I exchanged glances blankly, then looked at Kiran with those gazes. Kiran shook his head to say nothing.
“This could be the apology of the day… … In the long run, it might be defending the wolf’s honor. What will be recorded in history later if I play along with the unknown guys’ plan?”
“… … !”
“Let’s go to Seogyumun. There are only 150 management troops and only three officers. Close to the military base. Bring the prisoners there. We’ll leave the door open.”

Shar’kas, the White Dolphin, quietly stepped barefoot across the snow and looked up at the structure he hadn’t seen before with an indifferent face.
Hmmm, is this ＜The Great Wall＞… … .
Servants of the God of Creation, how dare you build something like this in the King’s territory?
‘According to my selected memories, the keys to unlock the seal escaped over this barrier… … .’
The newly born Queen of Time also chased the little ones… … Karenden intervened there.
For the new millennium, we must capture those human children and look into their souls.
‘But this is blocking the way forward.’
It was the moment when I got closer and touched the ice wall of ＜Seolryeongjangseong＞.
A ray of light seemed to shimmer faintly from the outer wall, but it soon concentrated into a fierce flash and exploded, causing Shar’kath’s eyes to widen.
Suddenly, his left arm was cut off, and in the middle of the light, he was instantly burned to ashes and scattered fleetingly into the air.
‘What… … ?’
In that instant, if he hadn’t cut off his left shoulder with a spider’s web, that light would have spread all over his body like deadly poison, and he might have suffered a fatal injury.
Shar’kath’s eyebrows, which were examining his condition, furrowed slightly, which is rare.
‘Ultra high-speed playback does not work.’
Horrible cobwebs protruded from the amputated surface of his left arm.
The webs soon wove a new body up to the upper part of the elbow, but the lower part was barely able to make it.
The ultra-high-speed regeneration is the immortal authority that the transcendental bodies of the abyss received from the Lord of the Abyss, and the power to resist that immortal authority so powerfully… … .
‘Is it Karenden’s power? No, Tersia? It’s a nuisance anyway.’
There was no lingering about the arm.
Because he was mortally wounded in a fight with Asura’s clone, he should have made a new one. In a week or so, it will be made new anyway.
‘Did you mean to confine the king’s power with a wall like this?’
Heh, anyway… … The fact that they erected such a wall must prove that they have no power. Or leave this world.
I’ll take it down soon, once the king’s army has been rebuilt. Talents to be recruited were innumerable in this land.
Did they say that the name of the girl who wielded the unseemly weapon of the Holy Sword was Enuel? The descendants of those who followed the woman and invaded the king’s land.
“Let’s go to Ravenfel.”
The moment Shar’kath turned around, the gigantic Ascendant, standing behind him like a mountain, bent its legs so that the boy could climb comfortably on his back.
If someone had seen it from a distance, they would have probably recognized it as a red dragon.
The Yonglin, which once burned fiercely like flames, was covered with muddy cobwebs and gave off a stench, while the golden dragon’s eyes, which once gleamed noblely, were dyed dark blue and exuded terrifying thoughts.
Yes, before being devoured by the abyss, it is said that it was called Alrakish.
