Among the great families, Western warriors were considered very difficult.
In terms of the number of troops, it was smaller than Rien, but the fact that he did not spare his life during battle was great.
‘Maybe it’s because I learned that the Resurrection Church was derived from the western warrior side, but it’s strangely similar.’
So if they move in line with this side’s strategy, it will be of great help.
So, I went there with the intention of talking in the best possible way… … .
“You, the traces of the filthy evil spirit remain.”
… … The western warrior’s words pierced me with considerable hostility.
As a result, the atmosphere of the meeting quickly turned grim.
Not only was the bodyguard spouting death, but Shardan and the people of the Lien family were also greatly embarrassed.
‘Looking at that reaction, I’m not saying that to just anyone.’
Swoop.
I sent a short hand gesture to calm my reaction, then looked at the man in front of me and said.
“That’s a bit sudden, we haven’t even introduced each other.”
“… … I am Langfwin, the supreme leader of Woolman de Gaulle.”
“I am the 2nd Prince of the Kingdom of Grandets, Cruz Alexander.”
Then he asked for a handshake, but Langfwin shook his head resolutely.
“You cannot hold hands with those who are full of traces of evil spirits.”
“What are those traces of evil spirits? It’s the first time I’ve ever heard that word.”
“Of course, because only those who have been chosen to serve Hastur can feel it.”
“Is Hastur-sama the name of that ancient god?”
“Yes.”
… … It was an unexpected situation, but I had some idea of what the energy of the evil spirit was.
‘Can I feel either the heavenly spirit or the power of chaos?’
It could be both, but I felt the need to check once.
“Perhaps, by the energy of the evil spirit, do you mean the power extracted from the Resurrection Church?”
“It is different from Wiryeongjin, and what you feel from you is the real thing itself.”
“… … I don’t understand, so I’ll add an explanation.”
While fighting the Resurrection Church, I accidentally absorbed the power they extracted.
I added that I was calling it that because its appearance reminded me of chaos.

Langfwin replied with an expressionless face.
“That is the spirit of the spirit. It is an imitation of the authority of the evil god who dared to stand up to Lord Hastur.”
“Did the Resurrection Church make it independently?”
“No, that’s wrong. Like attribute magic, it is a low method created by foolish people in ancient times.”
I’ve heard about that from Praxia.
Ancient humans developed civilization by learning how to train themselves with the help of the Spirit King.
But not satisfied with that, I subdued the spirit and analyzed it.
That was how attribute magic was born.
“But I’ve never extracted that energy myself like the Regeneration Church.”
“That’s right, your energy is different from that of the memorial camp. I am just saying what I feel.”
Judging from Langfwyn’s reaction, she didn’t sense the heavenly spirit.
It really seemed like there were traces of it.
“Then, is there anyone other than me who can feel the trace?”
“there is.”
At this, Langfwin stared at Alan and Hones, then continued.
“I feel it for those two men too. All three of you, including you, seem to have had that energy until recently.”
“I haven’t accepted it since then.”
“Hmph, the traces of the evil spirit are holding onto it. You guys must have felt this yourself.”
It was not difficult to understand what that meant.
It wasn’t just about raising the level with the memorial camp, but also about the fact that the rapid growth rate continued until recently.
‘It’s made clear with this.’
The traces of the evil spirit he spoke of were chaos accepted as a heavenly spirit.
It doesn’t end with simply raising the level, it’s the effect that has increased the growth rate until recently.
In other words, it must be related to Alan and Hones’s enlightenment.
but… … .
‘I’ve never been like that before?’
The rapid growth rate I experienced, but not enlightenment.
‘My mother’s help was great, but I didn’t feel that it was thanks to this power.’
… … Still, I thought it was not a bad meeting because there was a lot of information I got from this and that.
Although the problem was that the western warriors were more vigilant than expected.
“It’s a bit difficult to come out like this, I want to be close to you… … ?”
I had to stop talking halfway through.
It was because Langfwyn’s eyes were always on the SS.
He said, showing blatant displeasure on his face.
“… … I see now that all of you are like that.”
“What do you mean?”
“All of you are under the influence of evil spirits.”
I involuntarily crossed my arms at his words that seemed to lift the crane.
What do you mean?
Except for Alan and Hornes, I didn’t get it… … .
“Langpwyn, isn’t it your misunderstanding?”
“It’s hard to notice because it’s weak, but my senses are right. It’s like watching the return of an evil spirit.”
“Take it in moderation! Langfwyn, what disrespect is this to our ally, the kingdom!?”
Those were the words of Shardan, who couldn’t stand it.
However, Langfwin snorted and shook his head.
“Shardan, you are mistaken. We are not on the same side as Rien.”
“… … What do you mean?”
“It is literally. In the eyes of us who worship Hastur, there is no big difference between Rien and the great families.”
“… … .”
Shardan’s expression showed quite a bit of shock.
The only forces that helped the north for a long time in the invasion of the giant family were the western warriors.
So I must have felt a subtle inner intimacy.
Not only did the party deny it, but it was defined as being on the same level as the enemies of the great families.
Even I can’t understand what that means… … .
“I want to ask you something, Langfwin.”
“what? 2 princes.”
“That sounds like you are the only one special, right?”
“I will not deny it.”
“The kingdom, Rien, the great family, and the Resurrection Church. To you, they are all the same.”
“right.”
“But it’s strange, aren’t you the roots of the Resurrection Church?”
“… … !”
At my words, the Royal Guard as well as the members of Rien, including Shardan, were greatly surprised.
Apparently Shardan didn’t know either… … .
The other western warriors standing behind were also making faces that were quite surprised.
“Since it dominates a continent, its information power is excellent.”
“Thank you for the compliment.”
“As expected, for Hastur-nim’s sake, we must prevent the lowly people from uniting.”
“Is that why you helped Rien?”
“Yes.”
We await Hastur’s return, and when that time comes, we will gladly give our lives.
In order to do this, the huge forces that dominate both continents must not appear.
“I just helped for that… … That’s it.”
“Yes.”
“What does the great power have to do with the return of the Old Gods?”
“Because you arrogant and foolish bastards may trample Hastur.”
… … I honestly didn’t understand what you meant.
But I could make a rough guess.
‘Can I summon that old god again?’
It can be summoned by some means, but it seemed to be concerned about the possibility of blocking it in advance instead of if there was an absolute.
You have gained absolute power, and if you see any sprouts that will interfere with it, it’s obvious that you will trample on it… … .
“Can you move us according to our wishes for that purpose?”
“refuse. Moreover, an alliance with you, who smell of evil spirits, is even more impossible.”
“Sorry. So you’re saying that you’re going to move arbitrarily like before?”
“Yes. We will move as we wish, as before.”
“i get it. Then I won’t offer anything more.”
drooling.
At the end of this, I got up from my seat.
At this, the SS and Shardan looked a little surprised.
They must have thought I gave up too easily.
“Judging from your words, even meeting us seems to have done us a great favor. Am I right?”
“… … Heh, go back now.”
As if there was nothing more to say, Langfwyn and the western warriors left as they were.
On the way back from the meeting, Shardan asked.
“Are you okay? Even if you leave like this.”
“Did you see their attitude? Anything more than that won’t change anything.”
On the contrary, there was a possibility that it would only make the impression worse.
Because of the energy of the evil spirit, he was reluctant to join me and the SS.
“It’s not that their attitude isn’t unpleasant. But now is not the time to act on your feelings.”

Like it or not, I had to work with them in the future.
In addition, we had to meet again later to obtain additional information.
‘Next time I’ll have to go deep enough to use the ceiling.’
Considering these things, it was my own way to suit my taste.
“I don’t know how effective it will be, but it’s still better than nothing.”
After returning to the base, he called the main members of the SS.
“What do you think of what Langfwin said today?”
“If it wasn’t for that position, I would have drawn my sword right away.”
“You are surprisingly calm, Miss Leah. I want to punch a hole in their foreheads even now.”
“I agree with Inari-sama. Even the heads of the great families did not treat Her Highness this way.”
“Right? Like Hella-sama said, I’m not overdoing it.”
… … I was a bit taken aback at the situation where a rough expression came out as if I was waiting for something.
I tried to fix this quickly, but… … .
“Compared to them, I felt that the immigrants of the Sigvarda continent are very cultured.”
“yes. What kind of childish and savage self-righteousness is this to say that only they are special?”
“It was the first time I had ever seen a being with such an inferior intellect. It was a refreshing shock.”
“I don’t mean to argue with their culture, but it went too far.”
… … The moment he tries to calm down the party in a situation where even Lahos, who is heavy-mouthed, is reacting that way.
“I agree with all of you, but Your Highness probably didn’t ask that.”
Thanks to Alan, I didn’t have to say anything.
“Is that so, Your Highness?”
“… … Alan is right. They were rude, but don’t take it to heart.”
“… … .”
It was like pouring cold water on the burning atmosphere.
I didn’t care about this and continued talking.
“Something Langfwin said bothered me.”
“Are you talking about the energy of evil spirits?”
“Yeah, that. Remember when I said I felt it in the entire SS, not just me, Alan and Hornes?”
They nodded at my question.
“I didn’t think he was lying.”
“Are you asking if we are affected by our skills like Mr. Hones and Mr. Alan?”
“Yeah, right.”
Everyone thought about this for a while.
It looked like he was rolling his head and looking back, but from this, it seemed that not everyone had experienced such a thing.
‘I said it’s insignificant, so it’s not like it’s big enough?’
It could be that Langfwin was talking nonsense.
In the first place, no one had shared their strength with anyone other than Alan and Hones.
“Actually, I recently experienced something similar.”
In the meantime, Hella raised her hand and said.
“Hella-nim, are you serious?”
“Yes, to be precise, it seems to have been about three months since I recognized this.”
Hela quickly reached the 7th level, but she said she had a hunch.
After that, no matter how much I train, I feel that I can’t get out of the current state.
“But about three months ago, I changed my mind.”
Her level was still 7-star advanced.
However, he said that he was definitely stronger than before and felt confident that he could grow beyond this.
“Of course, I think it could be a coincidence.”
[It’s not just a coincidence, Cruz.]
I listened to Skadi’s sudden words.
