Grandpa and Wild Rumors (7)
I struggled to stay calm.
I clenched my teeth and did my best not to shake too much.
“······Yes?”
But that’s impossible.
“Is there a man in the North with a prosthetic arm and a prosthetic leg?”
No matter how you think about it, it’s a story that doesn’t make any sense physically.
“Yes, Confucius. I swear to the brightest full moon… It’s all true. A very beautiful man, as pretty as a peacock…”
How do you live there?
Didn’t it go missing with the collapsed black market?
“Hey, his appearance was shabby like a squirrel, but his brown eyes were very special. The hair, the hair is light purple… Oh, and he had a luxurious tattoo around his eyes. It was noble no matter who looked at it.”
No, when did you get there alive? How can a human being without any superpowers?
“It’s gorgeous like a viper…. It was a face that was hard to forget. His voice was as restless as a snake.”
“·················ogue.”
“He pulls an empty chariot, blown by the wind… They have come all the way to our gates.”
The administrator’s torn lips trembled blue.
The eyes reminiscent of the near past were just wandering aimlessly in the air.
A horrifying silence engulfed the conference room.
I was speechless for a moment and looked at the woman.
The first among us to speak up was Ga-in, who was standing behind me.
“Do you know his name?”
“Boze, Bojena (Божена) . . . It was such a name. You’d only hear it in a neutral zone…”
“Do you see?”
what else is that? I blinked my eyes as I grew up sleeping Leah.
Even in the midst of confusion, his head was spinning quickly. So······.
Although this is a fantasy novel-based world line, in any case, by Korean standards, the continent belongs to the western world.
Roughly speaking, the western part of the continent including the Lister Empire (French) and the Principality of Corleone (Italian) belonged to the Roman language group, and the Penetian New Kingdom and its annexed islands in the Far East belonged to the Germanic branch (Dutch), and so on.
In the neutral zone, on the other hand, a variety of languages were spoken.
Monica, India, and Marion I met at Chaum Caravansaray were all English names.
Gonzalo, the ruler of Moreno Caravansaray, and Carme, who had an affair there, is presumably a Spanish name.
Gigolt Caravansaray’s founder, Ralph Giegolt, and manager Zeromin, assure you, are German names.
For reference, the honor of His Majesty Hanan Rumayyan is written in Arabic.
“What is your last name?”
“The last name was not disclosed. At least, I had no way of knowing.”
But the name ‘Bozena’ is unfamiliar. Is it Slavic like Ukrainian?
Then the name that would be used in the neutral zone was correct.
But, is there any reason for Berner Penetian, the national secretary of the country, to use such a pseudonym?
What are you thinking again this time? what are you doing there
“When and how did he come to your hometown?”
“That is······. Apparently it was December 2nd. It is the birthday of our Confucius, poor Confucius, so I remember it.”
The woman wept again and stuttered in reply. Just thinking about the person named ‘Confucius’ made my heart ache.
I looked back at the Crown Prince and Ga-in and quickly exchanged glances.
It was the dawn of November 25th when we broke down the black market and came up.
It was also that day that Loffy bit Werner’s invisible robe.
Then, a week later, Berner went to the northern part of the New Kingdom…
Is it possible without being detected? In reality?
The Yeri was already occupied by the Imperial Army.
“Administrator, where exactly did you say you were from?”
Sir John asked, swiping the rubbish with his fingertips. The woman bowed her head.
“Hey, we’re from Baarn. lily. It is the northernmost province of the New Kingdom, made up of islands. The main island is also very small.”
“How long did it take you to get here?”
“It took a little over a week. I barely slept at night and moved around.”
“I wonder what kind of transportation was used, and what was the health status and age of those who moved.”
“There are five or five wagons that can fit twenty people, the rest on old donkeys or ponies. Most of those who accompanied me… Children under 16, the sick, pregnant women and the elderly.”
The administrator answered with tears in his eyes.
When I think of the people I left behind, my heart breaks.
I hurriedly took out a handkerchief, wiped her face, and asked the soldiers to untie her body ropes.
As if waiting for Canael, he approached me and handed me a cup of hot tea. Thank you so much.
“that······. That’ll pass right away. Administrator, can I hear the story of ‘griffin’ and ‘corpse’ that you mentioned earlier?”
“Uhhh…”
I gently changed the subject.
Since the woman’s condition is not good, it would be better to hear the story as soon as possible and give her a rest with other refugees.
Either way, we had time.
As for how Berner was able to climb to the northernmost point, he and his friends later reasoned about it…
“Yes. Confucius. In our estate… Every winter, a herd of brute beasts come.”
“Is that a griffin?”
“There have been times, I say. It’s not very bullshit. When I was young, the village elders… He used to talk about the griffins he saw right in front of his eyes. But, at least, that was not the case during the reign of the lord at the time.”
That’s good. We swallowed a silent sigh and listened to what followed.
“The days are cold all year round and farming on the island is very difficult, so it is a province with little food in winter. Most of the upright people are engaged in fishing.”
When the season of blizzard came in earnest, Barun froze even the sea.
Then, Yeongji people locked the door double and tripled and refrained from going outside.
And he survived the winter forcibly by eating the fruits and food he had saved over the past year.

Occasionally, it was said that the wind was only available when merchants came in from neighboring estates on the shore, or when the sun was shining brightly.
Their solid roofs and chunky stone houses were their home and shelter.
It was because the beasts flying from the East Sea were waiting to attack private houses without mercy.
“They peck at the roof with their large beaks, turn overwintering vegetable silos, and even croak and eat people. And our lord is the one who devoted his whole life to eradicating that beast. He is truly a wonderful person.”
There are many different types of flying animals.
In one year, the higher-level beast Alkonost attacked the four marinas, and just last year, the lower-level beast, the ghost flamingos, came in droves and made a mess in the territory.
In such an environment, Viscount Anneter Barun, the lord, was a warrior who fought with all his might.
She is said to have dedicated her heart and soul to protect the land by supporting the maintenance of her ancestors.
“From a young age, he showed a talent for magic, and his predecessor, the Viscount, generously supported his daughter. If I go to the royal capital in the future and it is not true, what does it matter to others? High Archbishops point out that mana is a low power, but if it can save a precious life, it’s no longer a low power. I hope the lord will become the best wizard… He was trying to promote peace in the North.”
Djibril Dioff sharpened his teeth. However, the resistance of the lord did not last long.
At the age of only over forty, she became seriously ill.
Drops of water dripped down the administrator’s cheeks.
“Every day he bleeds from his mouth, and his mana is very weak . . . He had a heart to hand over the title to his still young and slender son. Recently, his condition had deteriorated so rapidly that even his closest subordinates could not recognize him.”
“Oh, what are you going to do?”
Ga-in, who was sitting next to him, groaned. Perry also looked very confused.
Soon, the woman’s face turned hard.
“It was then that Vojenna appeared before us.”
“·················ogue.”
The administrator’s voice grew a little faster.
“The head of the crescent is a closed land. There is no reason for foreigners to come. We are dark despite the rumors… There were no soldiers to call out to war to fight the beast. So I didn’t know who he was or what kind of family he belonged to.”
According to her explanation, ‘Noble Bozena’ arrived at the castle, escorted by several wizards and mercenaries.
However, for some reason, he said that he was pulling the wooden wagon himself.
He asked for an interview with the lord in a very authoritative tone, but no one dared to resist it because of his high-handedness and witty attitude.
So Bozena met the ailing lord.
And in just a few days, everything changed. Youngjoo has become a completely different person.
“I was not there, so I do not know exactly what he said to the lord. However, I have heard something from the chieftain and knights.”
“What is it?”
“It is said that Vozena incited the lord’s sense of crisis by telling the back story of the neighboring estate, Atsma.”
“Your neighbor?”
It’s a surprise.
Sedric, who approached without a stand, tilted his head in a noble posture.
The administrator quickly lowered his head.
“Yes. All special support from the royal family entering Barun must go through Atsuma, and Baron Atsuma… It means that more than half of it is stolen from the middle.”
“·················ogue.”
“Also, our territorial residents are often buried in Atsuma’s graveyard after they die. This is a long-standing promise between Baron Atsuma and Viscount Bareun. This is because Barun is an island-style estate, and there is no longer a place to bury it. But… In Vojenna’s words…”
no way. isn’t it?
“The body that went to Atsuma has never been buried. The baron is secretly using it for other things.”
“crazy.”
Ga-in widened her chin. I hurriedly covered my mouth with my sleeve.
To be honest, I would normally have ignored it, thinking it was Werner’s revamp, but we already had other possibilities in mind in the North.
Wilhelmina’s Human Laboratory. A ‘secret room’ for making paladins.
– Kicking, Kicking
“Lea, it’s okay. my brother is fine I am breathing.”
Could it be that Werner used her sister’s information on her own accord? What do you think?
“Then, the upright lord believes in that……”
“Yes. He’s not like that in the first place, but maybe he fell for Bozena’s alienation and flirtation… Your eyes have changed. He said that the important thing now is not the war with the beast, but the war with Baron Atsuma… He was angry enough to destroy half of the bedroom with his bare hands.”
“I’m sorry… So you’re saying you’re crazy right now?”
Gain muttered. The administrator shook his head sadly.
“Yes, Princess… The subordinates said they should also listen to Atsuma’s side. Even if there is a war, I think it would be better to pass this winter safely and think about it… However, no matter how much he pleaded, he did not listen. And he summoned all the soldiers to fight against the beasts to the lord’s castle. He didn’t leave a single person on the other islands…”
“Oh my God.”
David looked to God with his forehead on his forehead. The prince’s low voice echoed above his head.
“Then it must be the lord’s son who sent you, not the lord.”
“Yes, that’s right……. Confucius led us to a night escape. The knights of the territory help him, and they decide to evacuate only the elderly and infirm, and secretly open the gates… Now that I can’t protect you, heck, hurry up and run away…”
‘Uh-huh-heuk.’ The administrator’s suppressed cry broke out again.

Over time, her voice was getting closer to a scream.
“But this year, the north wind is not bad. Too early, too ferocious. I’m afraid it’s like the weather from a legend. Fortune tellers say that this time the Griffin will come!”
“Administrator, calm down.”
“I’d rather die fighting together! We have left poor Confucius and the village youth behind!”
‘aaa… The woman screamed and tried to hit her forehead on the floor.
I hurriedly opened the healing circle.
– Whoa!
[Take a piece of your dream as your food.]
“under······.”
dump! The woman collapsed and fell into a long sleep.
Blue grains of ether flowed up and down into her mouth.
I hurriedly checked the patient’s pulse and found His Majesty the Emperor.
The adult had the most disturbing expression I’ve ever seen.
“…Father was right.”
“Are you talking about the smell of blood?”
Grandpa asked in a hoarse voice. His Majesty gave a brief reply.
“no.”
“·················ogue.”
“It means that the fortunes of the new nation are on the decline.”
I couldn’t even add any words to that sentence.
The eyes of Sir John, who met at the end, were cold.
