Marquis François Duheme was not the kind of person who looked at others.

Of course, that never made a man a disrespectful person.
In other words, François was quick to grasp the situation and had good eyesight, so that there was no need to look out for others.
He knew how to change the mood skillfully, and always took care of others one step ahead.
The absolute love of the Youngji people and the trust of the Lister imperial family was not something that could be achieved in a day or two.
In addition, there seemed to be nothing in the world that he couldn’t do, who raised his four younger brothers in good health.
The Marquis was always full of confidence and leisure.
Attracting people’s attention was his hobby and specialty.
“The castle is close. Isn’t that right, Sir Haines?”
“Yes.”
“·················ogue.”
‘Tump, tup-buk, tup-buk . . .’ However, Johann Haynes was an exception.
At least, that was the conclusion that François had drawn from his long watchful eye.
Are you still walking with such an indifferent attitude?
It was dark, so I couldn’t see much, but the Paladin was always looking everywhere.
The gray-haired cardinal showed no interest in anything but his only son and Juliet.
As much as his loyalty to His Majesty is sincere, it should be considered fortunate.
He had a lot of affection for his disciples, but he usually had a cold expression on his face.
François, who had lived his life as a great aristocrat, could recognize it at a glance.
The fact that men rarely put the sincerity in their actions.
He is a creature that moves exclusively for the beings he protects.
“It looks like a very old building. It is far from the imperial style.”
“Yes.”
“·················ogue.”
Even if he tried to talk, he stuck to a short answer, so there was no way for the conversation to continue.
It wasn’t that he hated me or rejected me.
I don’t know, dear Marquis Jesse, but the cardinal was born that way.

Originally, it was said that the air attribute is free alone.
François sighed and looked at the small speared wall.
A large spider was eating a ladybug entangled in a cobweb.
The fine brow furrowed.
“Five.”
“what happened?”
“······it’s nothing.”
If the opponent had been Erbe, he would have been terrified, but he was not in control.
Above all, François needed to look good to him.
So I closed my mouth with a smile.
John shook his head and looked forward again.
– Knock, Knock, Knock…
There was a sound of dripping water from somewhere.
The rock castle where the two of them infiltrated was as grand as Duhem Lord’s Castle, and it exuded a sense of threat that was not there.
The crest of the family that would have been attached to the entrance of the huge stone gate was horribly destroyed.
The portraits on the walls were all burned or torn by knives.
There were no soldiers patrolling the hallways, let alone sentries, and the decorations were all broken or robbed, making it difficult to find.
So I didn’t know whose saint this place was.
There was mold everywhere on the old carpet, and the completely broken chandelier looked difficult to repair.
An unpleasant odor emanated from the depths. It was a space that no one could see.
“It looks like an abandoned castle.”
“no. There is something.”
“·················ogue.”
A reply like the sword of the paladin came back.
He was now staring at each of the darkly lined doors.
Francois shrugged and followed him. If that’s the case, we’ll just have to cooperate!
What would a non-combat mage without training to kill know?
Instead of answering with a defense magic formula or unfolding quietly.

“Let’s go this way.”
But John stopped in front of the stairs. There was an earthquake in his pale pink eyes.
In the pitch-black darkness, I had the illusion of a magical spirit wriggling.
“Do you mean the basement? I have a bad feeling for some reason.”
Therese, who didn’t even notice it, was a genius who mastered all kinds of adventure novels on the continent.
The story the youngest had at mealtime was always the same.
‘Older brother, you must never go to the suspicious attic.’
‘Doubtful basements are also prohibited. I want my eldest brother to go to places that sparkle like eldest brother.’
‘Or the laboratory.’ ‘I wish it was on the first floor or the second floor.’
“If you’re scared, you can go back first.”
The paladin said calmly. François overreacted, like a man caught off guard.
He swung the mace–although he almost dropped it, but he managed to get it right for a bad body–and even got into a nice pose.
“Is that possible! There are often people who have preconceived notions because of my beauty, but I am very brave. Even the little master admires me like that.”
“·················ogue.”
“Herrit Haynes-kun.”
The Marquis spoke in a lower voice than before. Then came an unexpected answer.
“I know.”
“·················ogue.”
“The fact that the Marquis really cares for my son and the fact that Herit really likes you. I know it well.”
At first glance, a gentle look was reflected in the mint-colored eyes.
When François discovered this, his instincts began to scream.
It is now! You have to seize the opportunity…!
“So, sir, Haines. The master has another legal guardian…”
– Hey!
The two men looked at each other in surprise.
What could be heard from below the ground was definitely the scream of an animal.
It was a distinctly different tone from the gods outside, and it was a cry full of pain no matter who heard it.
‘Kwaang!’ Then there was the sound of a heavy door knocking.
It wasn’t a coincidence, it was only then that it was human.
Without hesitation, François walked down the stairs.
John was startled for a moment, but quickly moved behind him.
-Ttogak, Ttogak, Ttogak…
The broken stone stairs made a noise no matter how you stepped on them.
It was quite dark on the ground, but the basement was quite dark.
Fortunately, the Marquis’ defense magic formula gave off a slight red color.
The man did not forget the main point even on the way to rescue an animal in trouble.

On the contrary, as the situation became tense, the words came out.
“Sir Johann Haines. If Sir and your son allow, I would like to be your son’s godfather. It’s not just a relationship, it’s a godly relationship.”
“What do you believe in?”
François looked at him with a dramatic expression.
“Oh my God, Ariane who has been blessed by the Lord. I’m sorry to say these things out of my mouth, but do you not trust me, the left arm of His Majesty His Majesty Frederick?”
“I know your Majesty is right-handed. I said it wrong. I don’t mean that.”
– Whoa!
“······ Eat, again! Get ready for the 34th injection! drug!”
The two stood tall at the landing. No matter who came first, he stood up against the wall and held his breath.
Two pairs of eyes shone brightly through the twilight.
It was not difficult to understand the meaning of the sentence I had just heard.
A ruined old castle and a deserted environment. The cry of a ripping beast.
34th, drugs, injections.
A secret experiment is being conducted here.
“I don’t know what it is, but I’m already nauseous.”
At the signal of François’ murmur, the two puppets accelerated and moved again.
When they reached the bottom where there were no more stairs, a long hallway greeted them.
Right now, there was no light or noise flowing in any direction. right left?
“Your Majesty is right-handed, so let’s go to the right first.”
“You have a back end.”
John responded a beat late, and the two quickly set their way.
François screamed in alarm.
“How can you believe it? By the way, my whole family cherishes you. Antoinette is already knitting the child’s winter clothes. It was limited to the first three people, so Maria didn’t get it last year.”
“There is a misunderstanding. It’s not the Marquis who can’t be trusted. Rather, you do not know my past.”
“François Mirlande Duheme.”
“Yes?”
The cardinal’s expression collapsed for the first time. It was a hopeful face.
However, the Marquis was a man who did if he had to. He had no interest in caring about his acquaintance’s past.
Because I can’t be proud of my past either.
“This is my middle name. You will know it through the master anyway.”
-Nyaaa-!
– Clap! 🥺🥺🥺
At that moment, a loud bang was heard from the room at the end of the hallway.
John immediately drew a translucent sword from the air.
‘Wow!’ François reduced the brightness of the defensive magic formula and narrowed his eyes.
From the gap in the dimly visible blue door, a thick liquid was flowing out.
Fortunately or unfortunately, it wasn’t blood. He quickly approached and pulled out a small glass bottle from his arms.
Holding it with gloved hands, he filled the liquid at once with the skill of a mage scientist and closed the lid.
It didn’t seem to be poisonous, but the strange grassy smell was terrifyingly familiar.
Meanwhile, John leaned against the door and counted the signs inside.
In the reconnaissance technique that only detects opponents by killing their own aether, there was no one as good as the ‘Certain of the Pope’s Office’.
It was a spacious room like a ballroom. Eight paladins alone, five general knights.
Soldiers and ordinary people are over 30. Surprisingly, it was a group that even included a wizard.
There were other auras, but I couldn’t properly sense the reason.
It felt like it was hidden by a thick barrier or veil.
…is it experimental animals and subjects?
– Kwadangtang! Woodang tang tang tang!
“You don’t listen to me dirty these days!”
“All the precious new drugs have been poured out. Shit.”
“hey! Bring a broom and clean the floor!”
“Yes!”
The interior quickly became noisy. John quietly waited for the time to attack.
His master must have done the same (you don’t know how lucky he was not to come), and the marquis who accompanied him also had a determined expression on his face.
“Hey, wait! If you use it with that, you won’t be able to use the drug. I need to get some.”
“You mean it? Are you already on the floor?”
“You don’t know the lord’s sanctuary? If you know you’ve wasted like this, I’m sorry. Separate, separate!”
“Anyway, can this be recycled? It is not put into the human body.”
“Wow! Knowing the unit price!”

One knight shouted, and his companions murmured like boiling pots.
The soldiers began to run busily to find the tools. It was now.
‘You must close your eyes, Marquis.’ The moment John swung his sword in such a whisper—
– Kwaang!
The door was smashed from the inside first.
“ah! It gurgled down the hallway.”
‘Sekkung!’ The paladin cut him off without hesitation.
At the same time as a waterfall-like vein of blood gushed out, the basement turned into a living hell.
‘aaah!’ ‘Ha ha ha!’ Every time John made one revolution, the human threenuts turned as red as autumn leaves.
He was moving so fast that no one could see his face.
Her white hair flew like a bird through the drops of blood, and cruel blood spattered across her scarless cheeks.
‘It’s an intruder! Damn it, wake him up!’ The knight who cried like that had his heart pierced in an instant.
‘Whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop!’ François bowed and moved into the laboratory while the sword of air passed through his body leisurely slaughtered others.
In the corner there was another space covered by a purple curtain.
It was a place where things that shouldn’t be done as a human took place.
Subjects had to be rescued at any cost.
‘Rumpy!’ Even though someone’s neck is broken from the back-
-Sureung! Sreung!
“Who are you guys!”
“Looking at her attire, she looks like she’s from the Empire.”
“Isn’t it, is it the royal court maiden?”
The knights with their swords blocked in front of the marquis.
He stood in the center of the ceremony and held the pale pink mace strongly.
Unfortunately, I’m not good at fighting.
However, if it was a disturbance using teleportation, he was confident.
There was not enough mana in the body, but it was not enough to be pushed by these youngsters.
While he was preparing his heart to dispel the magic ceremony—
– Dumpling!
From the other side, a soldier pulled a decorative string from the ceiling. All eyes were focused on him.
The boy, who looked seventeen or seventeen, had wet pants and a terrified face.
The pale purple liquor he held in his hand was loose.
For a moment, a lie-like silence passed. and,
“Aww!”
“Run away, come on!”
“S is thrown away! Even that guy can’t beat ‘Edam’ anyway!”
“If you get caught, you will only die! run!”
‘aaah!’ Everyone in the basement contemplated and ran towards the door.
The same was true of those who aimed their swords at François.
Feeling the ominous attack approaching, the Marquis slowly looked up at the ceiling.
It seems that his instincts were not wrong. A cold sweat broke out on his handsome forehead.
-Rulleung…
I felt the overwhelming ‘magi’.
*
– Aww!
We hurriedly got up from our seats to a tremendous roar.
I immediately deployed the Holy Land, and Christel and Prince Sedric took the front line.
Sir Elizabeth led the knights to the rear.
I don’t know what’s going on with the large joint, but the chances of it being good news are slim.
First, I was worried about François, then the prince in front of me.
Even with Sir John, it was difficult to shake off the anxiety. Both are in good condition-
– Whoa! woo…
“Ugh.”
I heard a familiar sound effect.
From afar, no. The ground was trembling from very deep.
Ga-in, who encouraged the storage of the headdress, really said, ‘Let’s do well, pretty girl’ – took out a whip and held it.
The prince pulled out his sword and glanced back at me.
– Whoa! Qaaang…!
“Be quiet.”
It is unfair.
“No, I think I am the most docile among us……”
“I feel a lot of mana, Marquis. It must be a hundred percent beast or a monster. There are many things we are sick of, so we will definitely be stimulated more.”
“Oh my gosh.”
Why are you here again? I was timid and took the Duke of Fabrice first.
He handed the water to him, who got tired of blue, said several times that he was going to be fine, and handed him the jerky he had brought in his bag.
Princess Marguerite Diop had a much better complexion than before.
Unfortunately, he had not yet regained consciousness. Carme is…
“Ah. Where are you?”
Wow, I woke up at the perfect time!
“Oh my gosh, it’s been a while… coat is nice Where did you buy it?”
“It’s not mine. Don’t go outside the Holy Land. I’ll explain later. It helps that you stay calm.”
– Aww!
It’s a surprise! The group’s eyes were fixed on the wall.
The heart of the magnificent stone castle was crumbling and flying like a wafer.
The little rocks looked like Lego pieces.
We found two dolls miraculously coming out of the gap.
François and Sir John were flying!
“I see you there!”
The moment Fabrice hurriedly points a finger, Clap! The heavy gates opened their mouths.
Then, when some blood-covered died, they ran out alive.
At the same time, huge feet appeared out of the citadel.
It was like watching a screen played in slow motion. Whoo…
“crazy!”
“Oh My God. What’s the size…”
– Whoops, whoops!
Exactly the size of that citadel, the biggest golem we had ever seen was moving.
Instinctively, I thought I couldn’t win.
I’m pretty sure that the myth-level beasts will win-
“What is it? I’m very good at being quiet.”
Carme whispered in a crawling voice. I glanced back at her.
His red eyes turned like a rabbit. I was wrong!
“Carme, you know how to control your golem!”
