People’s screams could be heard within Ethan’s range of hearing.
Ethan’s brow wrinkled.
Ethan sensed that it was unusual and immediately ran out of the bedroom.
Kung!
Fenrir also got up from his seat and tried to follow Ethan.
However.
turn it off?
Fenrir was unable to move from the spot.
Fenrir, puzzled, looked back.
Cynthia unconsciously grabbed Fenrir’s bountiful tail.
Fenrir gave a blank expression as if a hammer had been struck in the back of the head.
At the sound of laughter from somewhere, Fenrir quickly turned his head.
Ethan looked at Fenrir and smiled.
“You’re just sitting here quietly and being treated like a gentleman.”
It was funny to see Shinsu being treated as a pet dog.
Ethan gave Fenrir a shot and left the bedroom.
Crumble!
Leaving behind Fenrir’s cries full of injustice.
* * *
bang!
Cynthia struggled to open her eyes at the sudden roar.
I looked around and saw someone walking out of the bedroom.
There was something like a red handprint on the man’s hand.
It was like a trace left by someone holding it tightly.
But it was an instant.
Cynthia got up from her bed in a dream.
“Sir, are you awake?”
The maids, startled by the explosion, hurriedly supported her.
Cynthia felt a strange sensation as she tried to touch her forehead and looked at my hand.
He was holding something like a tuft of silver wool.
“What is this?”
Cynthia was bewildered and put it down.
A bundle of silver hairs slipped out of her hand.
With him Fenrir laid his face on the bed.
ok.
Cynthia realized that she was crying as if she was somehow embarrassed.
‘Am I holding Fenrir’s tail?!’
Cynthia was bewildered and asked Fenrir.
“Fenrir, I’m sorry. Have you ever been in a lot of pain?”
Kung!
Fenrir barked once and then wags his tail.
The tail greeted her as if he didn’t mind.
“Oh, maybe.”
She realized the true nature of the warmth she had unconsciously felt.
“It was you who embraced me. thank you.”
Then the maids helped out.
“That’s right, my lord. It is said that Shinsu saved the princess.”
“Like last time, Shinsu-nim is really amazing.”
Cynthia smiled and looked at Fenrir.
“right. Fenrir is really great. You’ve already saved my life twice.”
But strangely, Fenrir was sullen.
When he saved himself from the assailant, it was completely different from the triumphant one.
Cynthia tilted her head.
“weird. Why is Fenrir doing this today?”
However, there was no way that Cynthia could understand Fenrir’s heart.
Of course, Fenrir also did something to save Cynthia’s life.
But it wasn’t his job from start to finish.
So I couldn’t fully enjoy Cynthia’s compliments.
Kook!
Then another explosion was heard.
Cynthia remembered the roar she had completely forgotten.
“Did anything happen in between? What is this sound?”
“It happened right after your Majesty woke up, so we don’t know yet. I’ll go find out soon.”
Then one of the maids left the bedroom.
Cynthia looked at the black smoke through the window with a worried face.
“It shouldn’t be a big deal… … .”
* * *
Kook!
Despite the explosions that occurred in front of her, the girl did not blink an eye.
“under.”
Rather, he just snorted in surprise.
Girl, Riley said, looking back.
“Why are you making such a fuss?”
Riley’s eyes turned to a middle-aged man.
A middle-aged man, Martin, ridiculed Riley in a sharp accusation.
“It was because you were watching too much. And in the end, didn’t that priest hit you?”
“… … .”
Riley burst out laughing, not knowing what to say.
The dark followers in Velium were now being pulled out of the water and purged.
It was the regent who ordered the large-scale investigation, but Ethan was behind it.
In the end, she made a big mistake by failing to read the numbers with Ethan.
Martin smiled confidently.
“That is probably the reason why above sent me here. Your method is so frustrating.”
The superior held Riley accountable.
Martin decided to take her place of Bellium.
It was a de facto wave.
Martin seemed to be enamored with the spectacle of hell he had created.
He stepped forward, spread his arms, and looked down at Velium.
“If they hit us, we must avenge blood accordingly. This is my way.”
“Aha, so you’re making a big deal?”
“okay. There’s an explosion in the capital, can you ignore it? I’ll be busy trying to sort things out, so in the meantime I’ll be carrying out other plans.”
Martin boasted that my operation would be successful.
But Riley wasn’t discouraged.
‘Will the priest be able to move as you think?’
Instead, Riley faced Martin with a meaningful smile.
“okay? Then I’ll leave, so take care.”
Riley turned back and waved her hand.
The good granddaughter play ended today.
So it was time to clean up the game and leave.
* * *
The first explosion was the beginning.
The red flames erupted with a huge impact sound and shook the Velium.
The knights and guards were quickly dispatched.
It was not as good as before, but as it was the capital of the empire that kept the glory of the past, the knights and guards were being managed with strict discipline.
They clearly knew what they had to do, even in unexpected circumstances.
However.
“Ahhh!”
“help me!”
“Damn!”
It was very difficult to control the people who were scattered in all directions to avoid the threat of life.
A large piece of stone fell from the cracked building in the explosion.
Cuckoo!
People hit the ground and ran away from the strong debris.
The driver who was helping people evacuate shouted loudly.
“Call in more guards!”
“Choi, we delivered it as soon as possible, but it seems it will take some time to get here from the nearest South Gate.”
“Now is the time to question that?! If I don’t deal with it properly, my hair will be cut off! But do you think you’ll be okay too? Hurry up and go somewhere else!”
The knight grabbed the guard by the collar and threw him strongly.
The temper of the knight was stimulated in an urgent situation.
“Ugh, I see!”
The soldier lost his balance and staggered, then ran to another place to request a soldier.
“Who the hell did this?”
The knight, who had accumulated quite a lot of years, clenched his teeth and guessed the culprit.
My mind was complicated.
There were quite a few forces on the continent that had bad feelings for the new empire.
This is because not all resentment relations that had been sown as an evil empire in the past had not been completely liquidated.
‘Even so, who is the power to do such a thing in the middle of the capital?’
That didn’t come easily.
Meanwhile, the knight thought of what had just happened.
‘Didn’t you arrest the nobles a few days ago as a dark follower?’
It was also a topic of discussion in Velium, where numerous incidents and accidents occur.
Because of that, several noble families were completely destroyed.
The knight’s expression became serious.
‘Perhaps the Dark Followers did this in retaliation.’
That was then.
A guard ran from afar, panting.
The driver, who was directing the evacuation of citizens from the explosion site, turned to the guards.
“Heh, heh heh! I have delivered the words of the knight to the temple!”
“Good job. Did you say that the paladins are also coming?”
“First of all, at the temple, Huuk, from among the paladins who were waiting, only a few were selected and sent.”
“What? Only how many?”
“yes.”
The middle-aged knight clicked his tongue in disapproval.
“tt, the priests are so stinky.”
“… … !”
At the words of the middle-aged knight, the guards were stunned.
It was natural to openly insult the priests of the Pars Church.
However, in the position of repairing the site, it was inevitable that he would be annoyed.
There was a shortage of manpower.
Of course, the Pars Church also had such a circumstance.
When all the paladins are absent, the temple is empty.
Therefore, even paladins waiting in the temple could not all come out.
That was then.
“Priests are terrifying… … .”
Ethan suddenly appeared next to the middle-aged knight.
‘That’s not true.’
Agreeing with the middle-aged knight, Ethan burst into laughter.
‘Hey, why is the priest here already?’
On the other hand, the middle-aged knight who noticed that the priest had overheard his gossip became contemplative.
Although the priest’s face was young, the patterns engraved on his pure white clothes were clearly those of the Church of Pars.
Not knowing the speed of the middle-aged knight, Ethan nodded inwardly.
‘Can’t be wrong. Even if I think about it, the denominations are really stupid.’
Ethan’s donations so far have been substantial.
However, the treatment was disastrous.
I hoped at least the food would be better than before, but has anything changed?
Therefore, Ethan knew the poorness of the Pars Church better than anyone else.
But the middle-aged knight could not know it.
He swallowed dry saliva and looked at Ethan.
“Hmm, the explosions keep happening.”
Ethan frowned and checked the scene.
After the first explosion, large and small explosions were occurring in succession.
The middle-aged knight was restless and opened his mouth.
“Priest, forget the blasphemous words I said earlier… … .”
“Where did the first explosion happen?”
But Ethan didn’t care what the knight was saying.
It was because he had no consciousness of being a priest.
Ethan waved his hand and cut off the knight’s horse.
‘That’s right. Now is not the time.’
The middle-aged knight suddenly came to his senses.
“It was a residential area for the lower classes.”
“A residential area for the lower classes? why there… … .”
Ethan covered his mouth and fell into thought at the sincere answer of the middle-aged knight.
From the moment the first explosion occurred, Ethan was convinced the killer was a dark follower.
‘Since they have been swept away at once by the Knapweeds that have been planted for several decades.’
Some knapus may have been lucky enough to survive, but it didn’t make any sense.
Because the fact that he suffered fatal damage has not changed.
For this reason, Ethan thought there would be revenge from the Dark Followers.
‘You foolishly set the residential area as the first target?’
Ethan smirked inwardly.
Their insides were clearly visible.
There was no reason why the Dark Followers would make the lower-class settlements their first target.
That didn’t mean it could do a lot of damage to the new empire.
‘Isn’t this supposed to be similar to the old method used in the Anti-Magic War?’
Ethan was skeptical of the explosion in the lower-class residential area.
About a hundred years ago, the anti-ma warfare incident came to mind.
At that time, the Empire devised and executed several tactics to put the United Kingdom and the Seven Heroes in trouble.
Among them, there was an operation aimed at other destinations after spreading the chaos in the residential area.
The success rate of the operation was quite high.
This is because the Seven Heroes were swayed by cause and could not allow the death of innocent people.
said the middle-aged knight.
“The other priests will arrive in a little while. Until then, please help… … .”
“I leave it to them here.”
“yes?”
“I have something to check. Are you okay?”
The knight who tried to ask Ethan for help was stunned.
However, I swallowed dry saliva in Ethan’s eyes.
‘I thought all priests were weak, but… … .’
But this priest was not.
It was clear that he had not yet become an adult, but the tone of his speech gave me a sense of intimidation.
The middle-aged knight had no choice but to nod his head in the end.
‘Do you think it’s impossible to be alone?’
But the reaction was unavoidable.
Leave this place and go somewhere else?
I mean, it sounds plausible, but all I could do was roll my tail and run away.
But Ethan had a different idea.
‘If you go straight into it ignorantly, you will only suffer. I think getting testimonies from people is the most important thing.’
Ethan made plans for the future.
The words of the people at the explosion site would have been helpful enough.
Then you don’t have to go to the middle of an explosion.
That was the moment Ethan was about to go to the people who had fled from the explosion.
“You are truly my friend!”
An ominous and disgusting voice was heard.
