“ha.”
Ethan sighed.
Christopher’s words were not even worth correcting.
I realized that ignoring me was the answer to dealing with such a human as I had an unwanted affair with Nyx and Blake.
“Priest, that man is strange. Aren’t we supposed to make a formal complaint to Miles?”
Surprisingly, Chloe seemed to have misunderstood.
Chloe took Ethan’s arm and waved it into contemplation.
Ethan lamented.
Why is that great wizard so poorly degenerate in intelligence in this kind of work?
“why! Why don’t you say anything? Are you saying what he said is true?”
“It was just a match.”
“… yes?”
“I did a match once a while ago, and I’ve been doing that ever since.”
It was clear that the misunderstanding would deepen if left alone.
Ethan told the truth, which was nothing.
“Ah, what is it? Was it like that? thank god.”
Chloe patted her chest, reassured.
“What do you see me as… … .”
Chloe just smiled with a mischievous face.
Ethan wanted to kill Christopher right away.
If it wasn’t for the priest, he would have taken action earlier.
“Priest Ethan.”
Christopher, with a firm determination, called Ethan.
He had an attitude as if he would get down on his knees and ask for a match at any moment.
That was then.
“Everyone, get out of the way!”
Pedestrians rushed out of the way.
A horse was running in the middle of the boulevard with a knight on its back.
The flag of the Miles Kingdom hung on the horse, and the destination was obvious.
‘Are you going to the central part?’
Ethan sensed an unusual energy.
“Why the messenger?”
Christopher was greatly astonished to see the messenger.
“Priest, I will see you again later!”
Then he hurriedly greeted Ethan and disappeared.
He was trying to follow the messenger.
Chloe looked at him and said.
“I heard that Miles is not in a good position, but it seems like something has happened.”
Ethan had never heard of it.
“Tell me more.”
“I don’t even know that well. The only thing I know is that the number of nobles joining the Miles’ rebels has recently increased, and the plague has been raging.”
“A plague?”
“yes. Have you ever heard of it? It’s called the green death.”
Ethan’s eyes lit up at those words.
* * *
Anti-Magic War.
At that time, there were five notorious powerful men in the Old Empire.
They are classified as ‘Five Deaths’, except for the Seven Heroes, they were capable enough to be called the strongest in the Graven Continent.
And among those five deaths, there was one unusual person.
He was a plague magician who brought death to the United Kingdom by spreading plagues on the battlefield.
His name is Kazix.
He was adept at dark magic, but also excelled in ancient magic.
And during the Anti-Magic War, he gained notoriety by killing many people with the plague.
The plague created by Kha’Zix’s ancient magic had one unique symptom.
And the people called the plague this way.
green death.
As the disease progressed, the infected person vomited green blood and died.
The infected person’s green blood or vomit passed the disease on to people.
‘It was a vicious epidemic.’
But now, a hundred years later, no one knew about the epidemic.
Because there were no records of the anti-ma war to be found anywhere.
So it was just strange that it was called the green death the same as ever.
Ethan opened his eyes as he finished reminiscing.
‘What happened in Miles must have been the work of the Plaguecaster.’
Of course, I wasn’t talking about Kha’Zix.
‘Because he’s already dead.’
Ethan watched Kha’Zix die at the hands of the Seven Heroes with his own eyes.
So I could assert.
‘But just because he’s dead doesn’t mean that knowledge has been cut off.’
What did you find in the southern swamps?
He was also analyzing the results of Ethan’s research, which he hates as a traitor to the Dark Followers.
Therefore, the speculation that he must have studied and studied the Plague Magician’s research was not in vain.
Most of all, the word ‘blood relative’ I heard from Riley touched my heart.
‘Maybe even the Plaguecaster… … .’
Bloodlines may have been deeply related to the Plaguecaster.
Dealing with the plague was not an ability that could be acquired by imitating a simple group of dark followers.
According to the information Ethan obtained, at least those called blood relatives could inherit the knowledge of the Plague Magician.
It was then that Ethan was lost in thought.
“Are you really going?”
Chloe asked worriedly.
“yes.”
Ethan decided to go to Miles Kingdom.
He had already finished reporting to the Pars Church.
The justification was enough.
-Since a terrible plague broke out in Miles, how can you ignore it in the position of serving Pars-sama?
As if he was a faithful priest, it would be over if he just brushed his mouth.
Above all, his performance at Central had a major impact.
Ethan’s position in the Pars Church had grown even bigger.
And Ethan was a saint candidate.
The Saint Candidate had to prove that he was qualified to become a saint.
Therefore, Ethan’s actions were as clear as the cause.
Even if Ethan decided his own destination, the denomination could no longer even interfere.
Chloe dissuaded Ethan.
“You were overworked a while ago.”
“I have to see what’s going on in Miles with my own eyes.”
Chloe sighed.
“We want to follow along, but we can’t do that this time. Uncle, no, I have a lot of work to do in Central by helping Count Cozy.”
In addition, the situation of Aurum had to be closely monitored.
If something goes wrong with Aurum, the twins have to go there.
Unlike before, his feet were tied.
“okay.”
Ethan nodded and packed his bags.
Then he thought of something and looked at Chloe.
Chloe checked what was on her face.
“Why, why?”
“I’ll call you later when I get to Miles.”
Chloe’s face turned red at those words.
Chloe nodded knowingly and hurriedly left Ethan’s room.
“what. When are you stuck like a tick?”
It was better because it was easier to pack.
Ethan had no reason to say he would contact the twins.
‘They’re both very good at magic, so it will be helpful when tracking down the Plaguecaster later.’
So, it was predicated.
Ethan had no idea that Chloe had taken it differently.
* * *
Ethan calmly packed up the rest of his belongings and went outside.
There were Christopher and Knicks.
“Hello, Priest Ethan!”
Christopher greeted Central as it floated away.
Then he took Ethan’s luggage by himself.
“Thank you very much for your interest in Miles’ work. We will guide you along the way!”
“Where do you contact the reinforcements?”
“We decided to meet on the road to Miles. The horse is ready. Come this way.”
Nyx muttered as he looked at Christopher’s back.
“It’s the first time I’ve seen an article like that. It’s like a novice knight with a strong military standard.”
It couldn’t be.
If that had been the case, I wouldn’t have even asked to send troops against Count Cozy.
As he was about to say that, he saw something strange in Ethan’s eyes.
“what? Why did you bring it?”
“yes? Is that it?”
“The one you put on your back!”
Nyx then turned the bag on his back to the front.
“Ah, Fenrir-sama.”
bruise!
Fenrir, who shrunk to a smaller size, poked her face out of her bag.
It was as if he was saying, ‘Don’t forget me’.
“It’s too harsh to say that to Shin-soo. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen you so I understand your shyness, but it’s only because you’re speaking so harshly that Fenrir-sama misunderstands you.”
“Are you going to take it to Miles?”
“yes. Fenrir-sama said he wanted to go.”
Shinsu isn’t a doll, and follows him wherever he goes?
But we couldn’t argue here.
Ethan opened his ax eye and looked at Fenrir.
‘The real tick was here.’
There was another tick worse than Chloe.
“Tell him not to vomit out of his bag.”
Moments later, the three men and a beast on horseback rushed out of Central’s castle.

Taken from n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲
Velium, the capital of the fledgling Niilum Empire.The princess, Cynthia, was doing her final check while looking in the mirror.
It was more comfortable than usual for activities.
She said to the maids who brought trinkets.
“Oh, that’s okay. It’s not even a prom.”
“Yes, my lord.”
The maids were also very nervous.
After a while, the escort knight Ben came in.
“Your Majesty, the preparations for the launch ceremony are complete.”
“okay. I’m ready too.”
Cynthia took a deep breath.
It was to calm the tension.
It was because it was a big task after hiding behind his uncle and coming to the surface.
“Your Majesty, there is no need to feel too burdened.”
Cynthia laughed bitterly.
“As it is, since you became a new empire, you were given a chance to wash away your sins. So I’m a little nervous.”
“The commander of the army will be the regent anyway. So, your Majesty, all you have to do is perform well in the ceremony.”
“okay. Then let’s go see.”
Cynthia and her escort knight headed to the place where the campaign was held.

“Priest, get up.”
Ethan, who was in a deep sleep, was woken up by the voice.
thump thump.
When I woke up, the bonfire was still burning.
In front of him was a cotton bat made of some white fur.
It was as if he had stopped trying to hit Ethan in the face.
“What’s this?”
Ethan irritably pushed it away, and soon the sound of protests was heard.
bruise!
It was Fenrir’s feet.
‘Is that motherf*cker touching people since morning?’
Ethan stood up with a displeased face.
Fenrir bit Ethan’s blanket and ripped it open.
Nyx dried up Fenrir with a smirk.
“Fenrir-sama, you must not eat the blanket even if you are hungry! Eat this instead.”
“Priest Ethan, please start with your meal.”
Meanwhile, Christopher served soup and jerky warmed over a campfire.
Ethan warmed his body cold on the road with a hot soup.
After waking up, I chewed the jerky.
“Are you out of your mind?”
“Do you have anything to say?”
“yes. It seems that you have to go harder than you think to contact the reinforcements. So I woke up early inevitably.”
It wasn’t really a cruise, it was better to get to the destination quickly.
“I do not care.”
“I’m fine too.”
No one asked Knicks’ intentions, but Knicks intervened.
Ethan looked at Knicks and shook his head.
In the first place, in order to contact the reinforcements as quickly as possible, the number of people participating in the journey was greatly reduced, and the departure was hastily.
However.
-Ethan is now making a new mark in the history of the Pars Church. I’d like to see it with my own eyes and record it!
The Knicks insisted and followed this journey.
It was completely unexpected for Ethan.
‘In terms of the pros and cons, I have to say that it is a very subtle advantage.’
It was a thorny hump, but the Knicks were surprisingly useful for miscellaneous things.
So Ethan accepted the accompaniment of the Knicks.
‘Even if the ear canal is clogged, it doesn’t bother me, and it does the job of my limbs well enough.’
Compared to Blake or the twins, the Knicks were better.
After eating, the party got back on the horse.
Then Ethan asked what came to mind.
“By the way, the situation in other kingdoms must be difficult. Where do the reinforcements come from?”
