“Tell me more.”
The girl’s face hardened and her voice became cold.
Then, the man in the dark tensed stiffly.
“The healer, who had been visiting the regent, stopped for a while now.”
“This is going strange without us knowing.”
“What should I do?”
“Well.”
Riley looked into the mansion again through the small window.
Riley pondered for a while before opening her mouth after a long silence.
“Is that priest going to do something funny?”
His voice was surprisingly playful.
But to the man in the dark who knew the girl’s identity, it felt only eerie.
“I know what you are thinking. But that is impossible.”
“Why do you think so?”
“It is poison made with the blood of the Demon King. It is difficult to decipher it.”
“The priest detoxified the poison made from real blood. It would have been easier with the fake I just imitated.”
The man in the dark let out a sigh.
I realized that I couldn’t draw any other conclusions than that.
That was then.
Riley suddenly reached out to the man in the dark.
bubbling bubbling.
A large amount of blood flowed from the back of the girl’s hand, and it was boiling.
That blood was eventually reborn as a sword with a shape similar to that of the demon sword Velashtan.
“This?”
The man in the dark asked Riley in a trembling voice, holding the blood sword that Riley had held out.
“You should check it out.”
“… … .”
“why? Are you afraid that you might die?”
“That’s not it. I was just concerned that it would interfere with other plans that I had been working on quietly in this position so far.”
“It’s okay if you don’t die. Be careful and come back.”
“All right.”
The man in the dark stared at the blood sword in his hand.
blood sword.
It was a sword made of blood that could be made by the contractors of the Demon Sword Velashtan.
Depending on his abilities, he could make dozens of sacks.
And this blood sword greatly improved the user’s abilities.
Instead, users had to sacrifice their own lives.
“The fact that you entrusted this sword to me means that you want me to fight the priest?”
“You don’t have to make a life-and-death decision. You just need to check the bottom of the priest uncle before you come.”
“I will keep that in mind.”
The man in the dark nodded and left.
The girl who was left gazed again at the mansion where the splendid banquet was held with sunken eyes.
* * *
It was a dark alley.
The shadow of a man appeared in an alley that was not popular because it was such a shady place.
The man’s shadow had his back bent.
Wow!
Then a strange thing happened.
“Ugh!”
An entire moan was heard at the man’s pain, and the shadow slowly opened its back.
How much time has passed?
A man with a perfectly straight back came out from the back alley.
“It’s been so long since I’ve seen this look I’m not used to it.”
the man muttered
It was a shocking sight for other people to see.
He was none other than the old graveyard Gary.
Gary took the blood sword in his hand and headed to the back of the regent’s mansion.
Whoops.
Gary looked left and right to see if there was anyone else.
No one showed up, even after being vigilant for a while.
He jumped lightly over the wall.
Gary entered the mansion and acted cautiously.
‘First of all, I’ll have to go to the room where Baron Shearland was assigned and look for traces.’
Baron Sheerland was still in treatment.
Although he attended the banquet, he said that he had not fully recovered and had been assigned a separate room by the Regent.
Gary was thinking of going there.
“When does the banquet end?”
“I don’t know. I’m really tired now, so I can’t move.”
The voices of resting servants could be heard.
The dissatisfied voices of the coaches waiting in the wagon were also occasionally heard.
Gary avoided them and headed inside the mansion.
And I arrived at the room that Baron Sheerland had delivered to me.
squeaky.
As if a door that had been previously opened was opened by the wind, Gary opened the door without a sound or a measure of popularity.
At that moment, a voice that Gary had not expected was heard in the room.
“I didn’t know you would come.”
It was a voice that greeted him.
And it was a voice that should never be heard here.
“Well, back then, I straightened my bent back, so it’s new.”
Ethan was smiling in the empty room.
Gary frowned.
Ethan was in the room waiting for him to come.
Of course, he wouldn’t have known that Gary was coming.
I was just expecting a dark follower to come if Baron Sheerland lost contact.
“You are a fun person, as he said.”
Gary faced Ethan and responded calmly.
The door closed quietly.
Without running away, Gary approached Ethan and said,
“I have seen so many priests, but I have never seen a priest as cunning as you.”
Gary revealed his true nature.
It had never been seen by anyone in the capital until now.
“I thought they were all idiots, but looking at you, it seems that the Priests of the Pars Church are not just fanatics.”
That was the moment I said it.
Gary, revealing his true nature, attacked him.
It happened suddenly in a dark room, so it was difficult to catch it with the naked eye.
But Ethan tilted his head and avoided it.
‘ね!’
There was a big difference in skill from the remnants of the Dark Followers that he had dealt with so far.
Above all, there was a huge difference in experience.
Ethan lived as a dark wizard in his previous life, and was also a priest in his present life.
Mutu lacked exceptional talent.
Of course, there were self-defense techniques learned in a previous life and a body that was strengthened with jet-black eyes.
But this time, it was an opponent that could not be easily defeated by only that advantage.
Therefore, it could not be suppressed as easily as before.
Pot!
Ethan soon noticed something strange in Gary’s movements.
The body movements were very large.
Kwajik!
The furniture installed in the room shattered as if they were shattered due to punches or kicks.
Obviously, Gary’s skill would have been able to target Edan more neatly and accurately than this.
But Gary didn’t seem interested in it.
“Are you going to ruin the banquet by making a fuss?”
Ethan laughed and said.
Gary’s eyes widened at the words he asked.
It was Ethan who nailed it.
“Besides, I’m struggling to see my powers.”
There were only a few workshops.
But that alone made Ethan aware of Gary’s cunning scheme.
Gary couldn’t understand Ethan’s true intentions.
But Ethan was waiting for Gary here.
Considering this situation alone, of course, we could see that some kind of plan was going on in the banquet hall.
So he was trying to ruin the banquet.
There was no time to figure out the plan, so instead of untying the knots one by one, he decided to cut them at once.
“You roll your head quite a bit.”
Ethan praised Gary.
But that was all.
Since his clumsy hair had been grasped, there was no way he could get on with Ethan.
So, Ethan was confused by Gary who was nervous.
“Let’s get hit first.”
* * *
Pot!
A blood-red sword cut through the air.
The sword that Gary suddenly pulled out was menacing.
Ethan’s eyes widened as he looked at the sword.
blood sword.
It was at once that he recognized the sword that the contractor of the magical sword Velashtan could make.
The blood sword that consumes the user’s life force and gives great power was infamous even a hundred years ago.
There was no way Ethan could not recognize it.
“If you want to kill me, you should have made a fight right away.”
Pot!
Ethan smashed the ground.
The leg muscles that had endured the enormous load screamed, but the divine power immediately restored it.
Ethan swung his fist with all his might.
“You stupid thing!”
Gary laughed and swung his blood sword at Ethan.
fist and sword.
The winner of the match was almost certain.
But that was an exception for Ethan, who had great experience with the Blood Sword.
Whew!
A powerful divine power radiated from Ethan’s fists in all directions.
The divine power radiated in all directions engulfed the surroundings, and the blood sword’s blade was shortened in an instant.
As if shrugging off the divine power.
“This!”
Gary’s voice was a little startled.
It was natural.
The sword of unbelievable blood was shortened to avoid divine power.
Because of this, Ethan’s attack could not be stopped.
Whoops!
Ethan’s fist hit Gary’s chin.
“Uh-huh!”
Gary’s new model stalled.
A dizzying shock pierced his body.
However, Ethan’s attack did not end there.
Ethan continued to beat Gary.
He grabbed Gary as he was about to fall over and hit the boat.
It hit the heart exactly where it was anatomically, leaving no room for breathing.
“It’s a lot more cheeky than when I first saw it.”
Having said that, Ethan forcibly folded Gary’s waist.
Gary groaned in pain in vain and bowed his back.
“Now I like it.”

The night of the banquet was deepening.

Vivian couldn’t find Ethan in the end.“The speech will begin in a moment.”
“I know. Hmm, can I get to the front seat in advance? There’s nothing wrong with looking good.”
Taken from n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲
Vivian became nervous at the words she heard around her.Soon it was time for her father to give a speech at the banquet hall.
The topic of the speech was obvious.
‘How will you dispose of the remnants of the empire with magical powers?’
Whether or not they really attacked the nobility no longer mattered.
All he needed was a specific target to capture the anxieties and anger of the nobles.

Vivian ripped off the feathers of the fan in an anxious mind.If Anne had seen it, she would have fainted.
Nix watched it from the side and opened his mouth.
“Did you say you were looking for Ethan?”
After meeting by chance, the two have been looking for Ethan together.
Then we started talking to each other.
Taken from n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲
Vivian’s eyes turned to Nyx.“yes. I have a question for him.”
“What were you trying to ask? I am also a priest, so it will be of some help.”
Nyx burned with enthusiasm as a priest.
Hesitating, Vivian asked Nix.
“Why did you attend the banquet?”
“Ah, that… Ethan said he needed my help.”
“Help?”
“yes. But somehow, it left me alone and went somewhere. I don’t know English.”
“Didn’t you hear what’s going to happen here today?”
“I do not know. It didn’t seem like they were preparing anything.”
Nick just tilted his head.

Vivian sighed inwardly.‘Wrong. This priest knows nothing.’
Because of her father, Vivian was quite active in the social world.
So, he was good at reading people’s facial expressions.
However, no matter how much he looked at it, the Knicks didn’t seem to be trembling.
Not knowing the speed of people, Nyx comforted Vivian with a bright smile.
“Ethan will be here soon as the speeches are starting soon. Don’t worry too much.”
‘That’s the problem!’
At Nix’s words, Vivian became even more anxious.
There was only one thing that bothered me.
If something ominous was about to happen, there was always a sign.
But Vivian didn’t find anything odd in her conversation with the Nyx.
‘furthermore… That’s what my father said too.’
– No need to worry.
– You’re telling me that what you’re worried about isn’t going to happen.
Taken from n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲
Vivian frowned and frowned.‘Am I thinking too much?’
Whatever she thought was going to happen anyway.
‘The only thing I can do is to do my best to deal with any unpleasant things that happen at the banquet.’
Taken from n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲
Vivian made up her mind just then.“Priest Nyx, then I will excuse myself.”
Taken from n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲
Vivian bowed her head and hurriedly left.I had to go to the place where my father was going to speak.
“Ah, there!”
Nick called for Vivian, but she didn’t look back.
‘I was going to ask if I could eat the food on the table… … .’
In fact, it was a dish made for guests to eat.
However, the nobles were too busy talking, so the food was almost neglected.
gurgling.
There was a loud noise from the boat after dinner.
So Nick was left alone again.
