As soon as I grasped all the information, my nervous nerves subsided.
The curse of the beast at the time of the Anti-Magic War was something that even Edan could not easily break.
In fact, the witch Scarlett also went out of curiosity, but in the end, she couldn’t do it and only wrinkled her pride.
The curse that originated from the ancient magic was that terrible.
Holy power, magic power, mana.
None of these three had anything to do with it.
Therefore, it was very difficult to find the area of the body that was cursed.
However, he could not pour out all of his divine power into his entire body to cast a terrible curse.
This is because, no matter how much divine power, there is a limit to the divine power that humans can accept.
Therefore, in order to remove the curse of the beast, it was necessary to pour the limit of divine power into a specific area precisely.
It is neither seen nor felt by ordinary people.
But it was clear in Ethan’s eyes.
Not exactly two eyes, but the left eye.
The jet-black eyes of the demon king, the enemy of the infidelity, accurately pointed to the traces of ancient magic.
‘It’s understandable that the Demon King was strong.’
Not that it wasn’t, but the jet-black eyes were really special.
It was the eyes of a hated opponent, but it was well worth it, so I couldn’t help but admire the jet-black eyes every time.
‘It’s here.’
The curse of the beast had penetrated Garrett’s neck.
Ethan raised his hand there and poured divine power over it.
“Since you’ve suffered a lot, I have to stand at the forefront on the battlefield.”
It was so cold that the knight behind him shuddered.
* * *
The loud roar and vibration ceased in an instant.
The regent and the knights looked around.
“Is the anomaly over?”
“It seems so. Now that the entrance has been cleared, we should be able to go check out the basement.”
With good timing, the soldiers had cleared the debris blocking the entrance.
“Okay!”
“Young tea!”
The soldiers joined forces and opened the door twisted into a strange shape.
“Don’t rush.”
The regent brought the knights and soldiers who had volunteered earlier into the building.
And it was when I found the stairs leading to the basement.
“uh? Who is there?”
A soldier made a stunned sound.
Ethan, who was exhausted, helped someone up the stairs.
“No, why are you here?”
The regent looked at Ethan and was bewildered.
Instead of answering, Ethan handed over the person he was supporting.
“Please take care of this.”
“Ouch!”
The regent suddenly supported the man.
It turned out that the man who had lost his mind was Garrett, the lord of Graytown.
“Why is this person here again? Priest Ethan, what the hell is this?”
“We’ll talk with Seongjoo for more details later. There are more people down below, so send your soldiers to help them.”
The more I listened to it, the more it just got better.
That was then.
As soon as Ethan finished speaking, someone appeared from behind Ethan.
The regent was astonished.
“Viv?!”
“Huh, Dad?”
The regent and Vivian had a daughter-in-law reunion in an unexpected place.
Surprised, Vivian lost the knight’s arm around him.
“Ugh!”
The knight Vivian was supporting fell to the floor.
It was the moment when the Regent’s face was distorted.
* * *
The Gray Town Knights in the basement escaped safely with the help of the Imperial Army.
Meanwhile, the regent rebuked Vivian.
“I told you to escape to a safe place, but you are in a place like this, what do you think?”
“I didn’t come all the way to Miles just to sit and watch. I want to be of some help… … .”

Vivian’s eyes as she answered, saw Ethan leaving the building.“Father, we’ll talk later!”
Not wanting to miss Ethan, Vivian quickly followed after him.
The remnant of what had happened in an instant was absurd.
“her? Heh heh heh heh heh… … .”
He was left alone and burst into laughter.
The knights who saw the scene muttered quietly.
“I can’t touch the regent’s planting for the time being.”
“Let’s all be careful.”
Meanwhile, Vivian quickly caught up behind Ethan.
“Where are you going? You’ve worked so hard, you need to rest now.”
“There is still work to be done. You are the one to go back and rest.”
Taken from n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲
Vivian pouted and pouted her mouth.“Are you going to see her? A woman with red hair.”
Ethan’s eyes lit up.
‘Did the witch meet Vivian?’
I wondered how they met, but I decided to ask that later.
The story could have been long for nothing, and there was no guarantee that Vivian was telling the truth.
“Are you going to meet after work? How do you know where you are and move around like this?”
“There is a place you can guess.”
“… Do you two know each other well?”
“It’s just a feeling.”
Ethan looked around and climbed the tallest tower in the fortress.

Vivian, who was constantly asking questions, became quiet while going up and down the stairs.“Ugh. Priest, are you still far away?”
“Now we are almost there.”
“It’s already the third time I’ve said that.”
The two finally climbed the tower.
Taken from n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲
Vivian grabbed her knees and took a deep breath.“Oh, it’s hard! You’ve come all the way here, aren’t you?”
“It doesn’t seem like that.”
There was a small room attached to the top of the tower, and the door was open and there were traces of dust swept away.
Ethan opened the old door and went inside.
I saw someone leaning against the window of a shabby room that no one was using.
‘As always, you like high places.’
Ethan found Scarlett at once thanks to memories from his previous life.
Even a hundred years ago Scarlett had exalted a high place.
When I talked to her separately, I always called her to a higher place.
“Did Yongke come too?”
Scarlett greeted Ethan.
And looking at Vivian next to him, he smiled brightly.
“Luckily, it appears that he is unharmed.”
“Let’s talk about that and I have a question for you. When I asked the lord, he said that he did not get paid for suppressing the curse. Then why did you save the knights?”
Scarlett shrugged.
“You said it before. I just don’t like the dark follower’s plans.”
“Well. Even if you are an ordinary person, you cannot do that.”
Scarlett made an exaggeratedly surprised face.
“Oh, we’ve only met a few times now. But aren’t you pretending to know me too well?”
Ethan broke the shichimi.
“There are people who can clearly see their personality just by looking at them a few times. People like you.”
“Ahahahaha!”
Scarlett burst out laughing.
I laughed so much that tears came to my eyes.
“right. As you might have guessed, if it’s my original personality, there’s no way I can do this kind of troublesome work without paying for it. However… … .”
“… … ?”
“I’m the type of person who can’t stand it when I see something interesting. So I was curious to see how you would react if you came to this fortress.”
Ethan’s eyebrows twitched.
He was familiar with Scarlett’s journey in search of interesting things.
‘Now I’m the interesting thing.’
It was a vicious prank, but this was the original nature of a witch.
Ethan was rather relieved.
‘This is better than the sudden change of a human being and doing a good deed.’
It’s better to be predictable than unpredictable.
Scarlett, who was resting, continued.
“And again… I also wanted to save people.”
“What?”
Ethan burst out laughing.
“What nonsense is that? It’s not funny if it’s a joke.”
Ethan’s cold reaction made Scarlett shy.
“what. Why is that reaction? Are you saying it’s not like me?”
“You say that.”
When the business was finished, Ethan immediately turned around.
This also made Scarlett’s behavior predictable.
Although he was said to have a fickle temperament, he knew that even his whims came from pursuing his interests, so it was easier to predict.
“Thank you so much.”
Taken from n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲
Vivian, who was taking turns looking at Ethan and Scarlett, greeted Scarlett and followed Ethan.Scarlett, who had become alone, said in a self-helpful voice.
“It was real.”
True, I wondered what it would be like to save someone.
Although the return from Ethan was ridiculed, it wasn’t a bad feeling.
* * *
A few days have passed since then.
The fortress has regained stability.
Garrett, the lord of the castle, and some knights were still asleep.
“It is because of the aftereffects of the curse being lifted, and there are no major abnormalities in the body.”
“The Lord will wake up soon.”
The therapists who examined them assured me that.
Most fortunately, there was no movement on the part of the rebels.
The princess, Cynthia, who heard the story from the regent, tilted her head.
“I thought they would attack me at any time, but it’s strange.”
“I am of the same opinion.”
According to Ethan’s report, it was the rebels who cursed the lord and knights of Graytown.
It didn’t go as the rebels had hoped for, but Fort Graytown was in a state of instability.
There has never been a second chance like this.
But the rebels were silent.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Imperial Army sought to stabilize the fortress.
We tried to restore the original appearance by supplying supplies and repairing the fortress that was damaged as soon as it was damaged.
As a result of overwork, Cynthia was in bed.
“Anyway, the fortress is gradually regaining stability. No movement on the side of the rebels has been detected at this time, so please rest for the time being.”
“Your uncle also suffered.”
The regent paused for a moment before answering.
“… My nephew also suffered.”
After the regent returned, Cynthia dug back into the blanket.
Originally, he had a weak body.
Because of this, he went through many hardships and eventually fell ill.
But I didn’t feel as helpless as before.
It was because of the sense of accomplishment that I did what I had to do.
‘My relationship with my uncle has improved a lot.’
It was a change that was brought about thanks to Ethan.
Thanks to this, Cynthia was happily enjoying her break.
But at the same time, there were also concerns.
‘You said that Vivian was in the basement of the fortress with Ethan at that time?’
What the hell happened between the two of you in the basement?
Of course, I heard that it wasn’t just the two of them, the lord and the knight were also there.
I was angry though.
Cynthia read Ethan’s report over and over again.
The content was about what happened under the fortress and the story behind the curse.
I could have recited lines without looking at how many times I had read them.
The report did not reveal anything special.
“Can’t you just believe that straight away?”
Cynthia took off the blanket and got up.
‘By the way, even if there was such a thing, it would be enough if I didn’t write it in the report.’
Come to think of it, didn’t Vivian come and go naturally in Ethan’s tent last time?
“What the hell are you two doing?”
Cynthia gradually spread her delusions.
Then, suddenly, I came to my senses.
“Oh, what a crazy idea… … .”
Cynthia shook her head to shake off the delusion.
‘I’ve been thinking too much.’
At least Ethan seemed to treat Vivian without much thought.
But there was no law that said it would continue to be the case in the future.
“I can’t stay still.”
Cynthia grabbed the blanket tightly.
It seems like he’s been just too quiet.
‘From now on, I’ll have to act like Vivian.’
An absurd misunderstanding led to a determined determination.
smart.
Then the escort knight Ben entered the room.
