Everyone has a story – 4
Awesome!
A dagger with a fairly strong energy flies.
widely.
As I caught it with my index and middle fingers, Xenia smiled slightly.
“I take it lightly. They didn’t come with a scabbard, so I just threw it, okay?”
“If I hadn’t thrown it towards the blade, it would have been fine.”
“I didn’t throw it to kill you. Like you did.”
“Well, in the first place, I did the provocation first. it’s okay.”
“Mr Maid Mohan. After all, the swordsmanship skill known to the public was underestimated.”
I nodded my head lightly in gratitude.
“Anyway, what’s going on today? Surely your name is Xenia Said, right?”
“You know. You must have heard it from the Witch of Cruelty.”
“……”
“What is your relationship with Neryl Slaine?”
“It’s a colleague.”
As expected, Xenia was not very surprised.
Instead, a slight contempt flashed across her face.
“I don’t think there’s any need to rant about his notoriety now. Especially if you’re a free mercenary like you, you’ll hear a tingling in your ears as you wander around.”
“Whatever it is.”
“Whoa. like. Anyway, as of today, break up with her.”
“……”
“For a talented person like you, there are so many better options than being with Neryl. I don’t know why they do mercenary work with that level of skill in the first place, but if you want, I’ll recommend it to the central capital.”
I kept my expressionless face.
Xenia looked at me carefully and continued.
“The Knights of Light must know how to use divine power, so it would be unreasonable, but for example, we can put a letter of recommendation in Alkahad.”
“I know the two organizations are not that close.”
“You know it pretty well. But it is enough to write a letter of recommendation.”
“It is a refusal. I intend to continue going with Neryl.”
The expression on Xenia’s face also begins to disappear.
“Why? Why?”
“……”
“I’m not talking about morality, I’m talking about reality. Witches have been a target the Knights of the Light have been aiming for for decades, and you will come face to face with us one day. As you have already met me.”
Needless to say, Zenia’s words are misunderstood.
As long as there is a contract with Dame, the Knights of Light will not be ‘truly’ against Neril.
[It comes out like that, wouldn’t it be better to just say it out loud? The other side of the contract.]
‘no. Let me reveal the greatest and best of the Light Paladins right now and here. Xenia will go back and argue with Dame. And Dame will be extremely wary of the existence of a country that has revealed its secret.’
[By the way?]
‘By the way, what is it? I am a body that should be a hero.’
The road ahead will not be smooth if you are hostile to the capital city…… especially the organization called the Knights of the Light.
Even if the oracle event is intercepted in any way with the help of Neryl, the oracle is a fake by the Order of the Holy Knights! If you insist, things can get weird.
At the very least, you shouldn’t be against them until you reach the ranks of impeccable warriors among the people of the Empire.
Not only the Knights of Light, but also those who fart in the Empire need to show it well.
[Huh. Don’t pretend that it’s true.]
‘What are you talking about.’
[It seemed that Dame didn’t like to burn Neryl’s precious things.]
‘under. I can’t see her like that.’
[Or not. Whoops.]
Instead of haggling with Trail, I told Xenia.
“I’m not very afraid.”
“……! Do you know what you are talking about now? Aren’t you afraid of the Knights of Light?”
“Their political power is frankly a bit scary, but I have the confidence to overwhelm them with pure force.”
“I said a while ago that the sword of immortality was a bit underrated. On the contrary, you seem to be overestimating yourself.”
“Hmm. I do not know. For reference, I am stronger than Neryl.”
Then, Jenia’s mouth shut tight.
I continued.
“Mr. Xenia must have found traces of the battle between me and Neryl in the Quark Territory. In that battle, I won.”
I feel a bit remorseful, but let me say this for now.
gulp.
From a distance, I could see Xenia swallowing saliva.
She protested slowly.
“But that alone cannot agree with what I said earlier. Right now, my father… the captain also defeated Neril.”
“that.”
“It’s a lie,” he just passed through his mouth.
Neryl just decided to ‘play with the lose’.
But if you said that to Zenia, who trusted and respected Dame infinitely, a knife would come flying right away.
I changed the topic.
“By the way, can I ask you one thing?”
“no. No. Until you answer my question first.”
“Looking at Xenia’s attitude, it’s not like she’s just performing official duties. Have you personally suffered any harm from the Witch of Cruelty?”
“…If that’s the case, what did you ask for?”
Xenia sighed and answered meekly.
“He was my friend.”
“You mean Neril killed your friend?”
“no. It just went missing.”
“……”
“My friend, like me, was a member of the Holy Knights. One day, while on a mission, he disappeared from the world. And in her final mission, the Witch of Witch’s mana was thick.”
Aha. It’s the fact that Neryl scatters mana on the mission site by contract.
So that the investigators can identify the culprit as themselves in the investigation.
“What’s your friend’s name?”
“Why are you asking that?”
“I’ll check with Neryl.”
Xenia’s eyebrows rose sharply.
She looked very angry, but once she answered my questions.
“huh. My name is Ophelia Mays. Did you ask me once? I don’t know if she’s going to answer.”
Ophelia Mays.
It’s a name that doesn’t exist in Neryl’s pigtails.
In other words, Neryl did not sin against his friend, but I may be confused because there are so many names in Neryl’s pigtails.
Besides, even if you haven’t committed any crimes, there may be secrets, so you should check it one more time.
‘Tell me the secret between Neryl and Ophelia.’
[Well.]
Soon the screen popped up.
＜I used the Eye of the Battery.＞
＜The current battery’s eye level is 2. The secret level that can be read is C level.＞
＜The selection condition is ‘Secret between Neryl Slaine and Ophelia Mace.’＞
＜It is impossible to read because there is no related secret.＞
It’s still the same.
‘Before the return, how did Cald explain this to Xenia and how did he convince him?’
It’s a question with no answer when you think about it.
There’s no need to follow the way he did it in the first place.
I said.
“You do this. Ms. Xenia.”
“yes?”
“I will continue to travel with Neryl from now on. But I’ll make sure she doesn’t cause any more misery.”
“Do you think you can control that witch?”
“You wouldn’t believe it. So, come to the inn where I am staying in two days. And let’s get this done together.”
Xenia tilts her head.
“This day?”
“yes. And if you don’t think I can control Neryl after this is over, you can take me.”
“huh. What do you mean by permission? I think it would be quicker for me to arrest you now and take Neryl.”
Sreung.
Xenia draws her sword.
This is a weapon exclusive to Xenia that I haven’t seen in a long time.
The holy sword Kesar was forged by the gods when the second demon king descended.
He is more famous for the numerous holy magics contained in it, rather than the sharpness of the blade in the subject of the sword, but…
Of course, unlike Neryl, I had no intention of fighting her.
“Then I will run away.”
“yes?”
“I will greet you in advance. See you in two days.”
“under. bullshit. Do you think you can run away from me now?”
As soon as she finished speaking, I gave strength to her legs.
‘Run fast!’
[Ah-oh. name.]
next moment.
A tremendous backlash of air slapped my cheek.
I could see Xenia’s astonished face passing right next to me.
And in a moment that was too short to even measure in units, she swung her sword towards me.
Whee!
But I was already about 500 meters away from the spot.
“Whew.”
I sighed and thought.
‘After all, Kayle was an idiot.’
[okay. To agree. But what?]
‘Did you agree without knowing what it was?’
[If you’re going to crack that guy, you have to agree and see.]
‘Look at this.’
I looked up with my arms raised.
The hem of the dress had been cut off.
No one has reacted this much to my ‘running fast’ skill.
“Before the regression, I didn’t know that Xenia would be like this. Cald always only asked her to defend and move with Agril.”
[Hmm.]
“It must have been that he did not fully understand the capabilities of his party members. I didn’t know about the right place.”
[Or I thought it would be difficult if I played too big. Then, even in the battle with the Demon King, if you are smart, your strategy will be disrupted.]
I thought Trail’s words made sense.
widely.
When I returned to the inn, Neryl met me at a table on the first floor.
I sat across from her without saying a word.
“Didn’t you say you were sleeping?”
“I woke up I’m a little sensitive, so I wake up easily if the pillow isn’t soft.”
oh That’s why, before returning, even at homeless places, he used to heal himself.
I didn’t know she would wait.
I think I am surprised by Neryl many times today, and I said with a light smile.
“You have changed a lot too.”
“What are you talking about?”
“Anyway, it’s all over, so let’s go to sleep. Tomorrow Xenia will be here the day after tomorrow.”
“yes?”
“We decided to do this together.”
I simply relayed the conversations I had with Xenia.
Naturally, Neryl didn’t seem to know the name of Ophelia.
“Did Dame take care of his unit? Until you put it on me?”
“It is highly likely.”
“If you tell me this, it will turn over. Either Dame or Xenia herself.”
“So I’m going to keep it a secret for the time being. I might end up being hostile to the entire Order of the Light Paladin if I cause a riot for nothing.”
“I don’t think you’d be afraid of that.”
“afraid. It might have a huge impact on my reputation. They are geniuses at manipulating public opinion.”
“yes. That’s right. But, in my opinion, more than that…”
she stopped talking
And after a bit of hesitation he asks
“Is it because of me? Are you afraid Dame will burn ‘the thing’?”
This guy says the same thing with Trail.
I tried to answer no, but Neril’s mouth opened before that.
It was a sudden change of topic to the point where it was somewhat awkward.
“The sleeves are cut off. Do you think there are quite a few women named Xenia?”
“I’m sure it’s stronger than Dame.”
“It is natural. It’s because he’s weak.”
It’s been a while, but Dame became a little pitiful.
Sreung.
It was 30 minutes after Maid left that Xenia put the sword back in.
That immortal swordsman used some ingenious technique and swept past him with an astonishing speed.
He swung his sword over the afterimage, but of course he couldn’t cut it. It felt like something was rubbing against the tip of the sword.
And when he woke up, he was completely out of sight.
All the series of motions and reactions took place in 0.5 seconds.
And Xenia was repeating 0.5 seconds in her head for a whopping 30 minutes.
‘What if you reacted from the moment you started gathering energy in your legs? Then how far could I have been?’
It’s a question I’ve asked myself several times, but the answer is always ‘I don’t know.’ it was
Burr.
Realizing that her right hand was trembling, she grabbed it with her left.
But to no avail.
Hey, This hue. hmm read rental boyfriend and ov if u not yet did
My left hand was also trembling.For the first time, Xenia asked another question as a voiceover.
“Did your father be able to cut you?”
But the answer to this question came sooner.
I don’t know, it’s not
‘I can’t.’ came the answer.
In the first place, she already had the confidence to defeat her father.
How could a father cut someone who couldn’t even chase after the afterimage?
“Ugh.”
Xenia bit her lip.
You should check it out.
How did Maid become so deceptively strong?
And what the hell is he going to do in this manor?
Neril’s presence in her head had already disappeared cleanly.
