Grandpa and the North Sea blizzard (6)
The Yeongjuseong Fortress we arrived at was already Dotegi Market.
“Jesse Jesse, welcome!”
“Yes. thank you.”
The soldiers who were moving quickly found us and rushed over to take the horse’s reins.
I escorted Mr. Morhan and looked around busily.
Bakari-kun was busy wiping the dust and breadcrumbs off my robes.
Why is the atmosphere so crowded? It wasn’t like this a couple of hours ago…
“Come on, tell your Majesty your Majesty. Hurry up!”
“Yes!”
“Captain, the report is ready for you!”
“Duke Blanquere will review it first…”
“The monastery wards and tent village relief stations are full! What about new patients?”
“There is a temporary bed prepared in the guild building. Everything will be operational from now on.”
Are there any new patients? Have you ever seen a lot of additional survivors from the black market?

Other than that, there seemed to be no reason why everyone was so chaotic.
Around that time, the leader of Fleur de Lis summoned a wizard who was passing by.
“There you are.”
“Hey, boss! Prince!”
A woman in light armor raised her bow.
Although he was a battle wizard, he seemed to have been put into action along with the non-combat crews.
It means that the situation is getting more tense.
Cloudy steam came out of her mouth as she approached.
“What happened all of a sudden? Let me explain how things are going.”
“Yes, hundreds of refugees came in through the north gate of Lake Yeri a while ago!”
“Are you refugees?”
I blinked my eyes and raised my voice.
It is natural that refugees occur during war, but since this is the land of the new country, they must also be the people of the new country.
The imperial army can be scary, but at least it was surprising that he had come this way.
Am I simply going the wrong way?
The current Penetian base is located in the northwest of Lake Yeri, and if the refugees are coming from the east, it is geographically closer to the base of the New Republic of Korea Army than here.
However, no matter how much I thought about it, it was not easy to understand.
The eastern part, the heart of the new country, is an area where the imperial army has not yet advanced, but for some reason people…
Wait, not refugees, but ‘refugees’?
Besides, you came in through the north gate?
“They are said to have evacuated with permission from the lord near the North Sea. Their representative is now meeting the Duke of Blanquere.”
“If it is near the North Sea…”
Bakari-kun looked at me and blurted out his words.
Without further ado, I asked the battle wizard for Mr. Morhan.
“Magician, please take him to the room. We will go straight to the Prince.”
“I will take your orders, my lord. If not, your Majesty’s military meeting has been called. You should go to the conference room.”
“thank you. Morhan, see you later!”
“Have a hard time.”
The Minister of Information seemed to wave his fern hand.
I hurriedly followed Bakari-kun’s footsteps.
*
When we arrived at the conference room looking only at the back of the Prophet’s head, the atmosphere had already grown serious.
“You have come, my lord. Commander.”
“Thank you, Canael.”
After greeting Canael who received the robe at the entrance, he was guided by the soldiers to find a seat.
Bakari-kun headed to the other side of the table and I went straight ahead.
Ga-in, who was standing near the chair, saw me and took a few steps back.
As naturally as possible, he intervened between her and the Crown Prince.
Sedric in a shirt and a vest – apparently observing the soldiers’ training in the meantime – glanced at me and then turned his gaze back to the table.
Under the seat where Lofi was lying in a circle…
-Tok!
Sir John pointed to the northwest of the Continental Evangelism with the Black Horseman.
“As you know, this area is called the ‘Head of the Crescent’. It means the northern part of the new kingdom lying in the shape of a sickle on the western side of the continent. It is also the source of the Winite River. It’s cloudy and cold all year round.”
Demi, hanging from his shoulder, pricked his ears.
The other commanders were also paying attention to Sir John with serious expressions on their faces.
Fortunately, we seemed to have come in at the beginning of the explanation.
Leah approached and snickered that she was sleepy, so she hurriedly embraced her. shh, not nice.
– Ki-eung
“And the southern part of the New Kingdom is called ‘the tail of the crescent moon’. Especially in the southeast, where the sea of abundance lies, the weather is mild year-round and there is plenty of precipitation, so it is often called a paradise on earth.”
“Then, do refugees occur every year in the North?”
“I can say yes, but I have never seen such a number. Usually, it was a case of about ten or so people running away at night because they could not overcome the cold or fear.”
The man said softly, raising the corners of his eyes.
Lord Stanislas kicked his tongue with a heartbreaking expression.
Upon hearing the answer, His Majesty Frederick’s forehead wrinkled.
“As your father said. There must have been four moons in the north.”
“okay. I heard that the son of the lord gave the order to evacuate himself. I told you to leave because you can’t protect everything. Anyone who sees it would know that a civil war broke out.”
Caroline Rimless Marquee groaned, scratching her smooth hair.
As I listened to her words, I rolled the jjangdol hard in my own way.
Could it be that the lord of refugees is the lord Morhan spoke of?
‘I’ve heard rumors that a viscount there had a bad temper.’
‘They do everything they can to save their homeland.’
‘It is said that while raising an army to fight against Griffin, he prepares human sacrifices for him.’
Can the lord who sacrifices living people to monsters be able to drive them away in order to save Youngji-min at the same time?
If a leader desperate enough to raise an army to fight against a mythical beast, would all such actions be possible?
“What about ‘griffins’ that refugees testified about?”
Startle. I opened my mouth wide at His Majesty’s question.
I got goosebumps wondering if what I was only thinking about in my mind would turn out to be true.
Are you saying that they really ran away here because of the mythical beasts?
maybe not?
“It’s hard to give a definitive answer on that part.”
Sir John tilted his head as if in trouble. There is another thing that the Taesa of Heaven doesn’t know!
“Until a few years ago, we received various requests and solved them, but it was rare to be dispatched to the north. Perhaps it means that there were no nobles who could be checked by those in power. As for myself, I only know roughly the ‘sea dragon and the griffin legend’, but I don’t know the other facts.”
“A sea dragon and a griffin legend?”
-Ah, if that’s the case…
His Majesty Hanan, who had been listening quietly, suddenly interrupted.
Everyone’s eyes moved towards her.
The king frowned lightly on Isabelle’s fine forehead.
– Oh my, it’s almost as if I’m losing my memory. I’m sorry.
“it’s okay.”
Sir Elizabeth comforted her by stroking her back.
Bakari-kun, who stood by me, immediately signaled me.
I raised my shiny hand. Just leave it to me!
“I know that, Your Majesty.”
“You?”
“Are you the lord?”
“Actually, I heard from Mr. Morhan a little while ago.”
The prince and Ga-in looked at me at the same time, so I quickly added a commentary.
Then His Majesty immediately tapped his chin.
François was already looking forward with great anticipation.
I patted Leah’s back and calmly told the story.
An ancient dragon with a blue sea in mind, and a griffin clan who fell for the dragon’s provocation while trying to dominate the sea.
Nightmare nights of the blizzard season.
Until the conclusion that the long battle between the two great monsters met the harsh environment and ferocious rumors unique to the North, and created the tale of today.
“It is a folk tale that is not well known unless you are a native of the North Sea region, and Mr. Morhan also said it was a story he had heard from the minstrels. Very few people really believe that Griffins actually appear there. Common sense can’t do that every year.”
“·················ogue.”
The Griffin we met on the occasion was a very special case.
Because he was a product of the ‘Reverse Dungeon’, which swallowed a beast and spewed out a stronger evolutionary form.
I don’t know how the golem ‘Armando’ blocking the entrance is doing these days.
Carme said even the fortress was muttering its name.
I pulled out the last sentence, trying not to leak into a side street.
“They said that it was probably an attack by another right-class demon. Personally, I think it might be a low-middle-class group that returns to the north like migratory birds…”
“By the way, the right Viscount, the lord of refugees, was referring to ‘griffin’ precisely. What do you think of that? Dr. Cheok-cheok.”
tuk. Djibril Dioff, opposite, asked with his cane on the table.
What is it, another arguing tone?
I wasn’t expecting it to suddenly get fatter, but nothing has changed since the last conversation.
I put pressure on my chin.
“I do not know. I’m not a doctor, so I don’t know.”
And slapped it back. Is it your first time seeing Dr.
– Quick profit!
“your majesty!”
At that moment, the door to the conference room opened and a knight rushed in.
All eyes fell on her in an instant.
Behind the knight, four soldiers followed, two of whom were carrying a woman who appeared to be a commoner with ropes.
Surprised, Perry jumped up on Ga-in’s back.
David, who was quietly waiting at the back of the table, was truly astonished!
“Oh my God, what are you doing? What safety brought him to Ye?”
“I have sinned to death, David. However, Iza is an administrator who is the representative of the refugees, and he gave a serious testimony under the trust a little while ago. Duke Blanquere confirmed this and gave the order to bring it up right here. You said that your Majesty, Your Highness, and the commanders of the conference room should know first.”
“… the Duke?”
The middle-aged man’s eyes widened.
Eva’s mother, the Duke of Blanquere, had a cautious personality that could be overstated.
No one was going to work like this. How the hell did you say such a great thing…
“Open your mouth.”
“Yes, my lord!”
The prince’s icy name fell, and the soldiers quickly knelt down on the woman. dump!
I carefully observed the one who was the administrator of the refugees.
At first glance, she seemed close to her sixtieth birthday.
Her skinny body was trembling with fear, and her fingertips caught in frostbite were dazzlingly blue.
No matter how foreign he was, he couldn’t leave him like that. He hurriedly raised his head and looked at the Most High.
“Your Majesty, please.”
“··········· Do what you like.”
“thank you!”
I hurriedly took off the coat I was wearing under my robe and approached.
Ga-in followed me coldly and protected me.
Before the magistrate noticed, a robe wrapped her back, pulled a can of hot water from her pocket and held it in her wrinkled hands.
Then, his sullen eyes trembled and rose upwards.
Seeing his slender cheeks and pale lips made his heart ache.
“Ahhh······. under······.”
Soon, a hoarse, cracking voice came out.
“it’s okay. no one hurts I just called because I wanted to know your story.”
“Hey, Griffin. Liver… corpse, corpse…”
“I am listening. Speak slowly, while breathing. It’s okay to be very slow.”
I smiled broadly and took a deep breath.
He exaggeratedly lifted both shoulders with a ‘hhh’ sound, then let out a long air and drooped again.
Then the woman who looked at me blankly began to catch her breath a few beats later.
The warmth of his body seemed to be clearing his expression. thank god.
“That’s it, that’s…”
“yes.”
“Oh, my lord. What kind of crooked stomach was attached… It’s been a while. He blinded his eyes with a terrible, very horrific story…”
“Are you a bastard?”
I thought there was going to be a Griffin story right away, but the human story comes first, right?
“Yes, Confucius. A man wearing such a gorgeous prosthetic like this… Heh, I have a prosthetic leg that goes up to my thigh…”
The smile slowly faded from my face. The administrator continued with tears in his eyes.
“He is controlling the lord. Please help our Confucius…!”
