Go straight for the dragon king! (6)
An envelope signed by the royal family?
Also in the right dictatorship?
“…are you sure you saw it correctly?”
Baron Edda Atsuma asked in a voice as cold as ice.
I swallowed dry saliva, thinking of only one possibility.
Berner Penetian.
He never forgot for a moment that he was in the right lord castle at the northern end.
But we have no idea what he will do in the future, what his specific goals are, or what he was thinking when he got there.
Unlike Wilhelmina Sneijder, who has a clear sense of purpose and moves deliberately, that bastard is an unpredictable madman.
Moreover, there was an even more ‘obvious’ danger for us as we ascended to the north.
A mythical beast clan that falls like a cannonball from the sky and kills innocent people.
A new creature that has been threatened by them for two thousand years.
Even the devil who stole the heart of the god and is conducting terrible biological experiments.
The threat in front of his nose was vivid and clear, as if he could grasp it in his hand.
We knew that Werner was blocking the eyes and ears of Viscount Barun, but too many things happened before we even got there.
“Yes, Baron. The knight commander personally confirmed it. In fact, the colleagues who received the emergency report didn’t even know what it meant. However, the oldest person recognizes it at once…”
A suffocating voice erupted from under the helmet.
Tess still looked confused. It was natural.
For me too, at a time like this, at least, it’s creepy to know that Berner sent a letter directly to Atsuma.
Judging by the reaction of the baron, she also seemed not to have expected it at all.
What did the murderer do to the Baron Viscount?
You didn’t steal the lord’s castle at all, did you?
According to Confucius Shem, there are many knights who are loyal to the Viscount.
I heard that Elissa’s subordinate, Sir Martier Jeilstra, was also held there.
Damn, we have a mission we need to succeed today. It’s like a human who can’t help in life!
“Bring it here. I will check it myself.”
At that moment, Rin Isenia, who was sitting across from me, spoke politely.
Everyone’s eyes were focused on her, and the knight hesitated and looked into the owner’s eyes.
The baron immediately looked up at his chin.
As soon as the armor moved, the paladin snatched the letter with a sharp movement.
-widely!
“If it is the sacred text of our royal family, I know exactly what it is.”
At those words, Tess’s expression became even more strange.
For her, the presence of the royal family and anyone who knew the royal family’s sacred text would have been too sudden.
I gently grabbed the back of the teacher’s arm under the table and released it.
I can’t reveal all the circumstances yet, but I wanted to tell you that it’s okay.
I know who the royal family who wrote the letter was. I don’t even know about the ‘Sacred sentence’ or its contents.
Just calm down.
“Aha, look at this. It is a neologism that only the royal family can use.”
“·················ogue.”
fluttering fluttering. Isenia grinned and waved the envelope in front of us.
Near her white cheeks, her side hair, cut as straight as a knife, swayed together.
The continent’s ‘divine language’ meant the language of the deity that was naturally awakened when a priest awakens as a cardinal.
As far as I am a reader, it’s just Latin, so in a nutshell, all the cardinals of this land are Latin-speaking.
However, it was not like an unknown language that even ordinary people could not access.
New language phrases often appear in old theological books and classics.
For example, the new word ‘DG REG.’ is engraved on the ruins of Chaum of His Majesty Hanan Rumayyan.
It means ‘the one who is king by the grace of God (Dei Gratia Regina)’, and it is a code left by the little archaeologist India.
“This sentence is a proof that only the nobles of the royal palace are allowed. It would be a disgrace for someone like me to use it carelessly.”
“Ugh······.”
The flagship Tess’ eyes widened. Also, I didn’t know the identity of Isenia.
I checked my watch, inserting new information between the folds of my brain.
8:58 p.m. 2 minutes left.
“Writing so proudly, it means that a noble royal family has traveled to the north, or there is a madman who sacrificed his life for the right vicarious order. Few people outside the royal capital know this verse. The baron’s knight commander seems to have learned a lot.”
The cardinal was sarcastic towards the Baron to the end.
The middle-aged man responded by completely ignoring her words.
Even at that moment, I opened my eyes and tried to read the letters on the envelope.
I know only a few famous phrases in Latin, but the pronunciation itself is easy.
I memorized it and later gave it to Sir John…….
“uh?”
And, I read a very strange letter.
For a moment, it felt like my head was hardened like cement.
“why? Is this a familiar sentence, Priest? If you are from a noble family near the royal capital of Hagiya, you might know it.”
“that······.”
I had to respond, but my jaw was blocked as if my tongue was broken and I didn’t even budge.
I had to react like someone who didn’t know anything, but I lost the timing for a moment.
I looked back to see if I had misunderstood something, but it seemed right.
I just stared blankly at the sentence.
“·················ogue.”
The holy and sacred words that were only allowed to the Penetian royal family staying in the royal castle.
‘Dĕa Ex Máchĭna’.
Dea Ex Machina. A machine-made god.
The hairs all over his body stood up.
“Ugh. It’s not fun.”
“Ah, sorry. I was surprised that it was signed by the royal family… It’s the first time I’ve actually seen it.”
I hurriedly picked up an excuse and served it. This was real.
Nowhere on the continent has I ever seen a god who is the creator and only god of this land, dare to talk about her as a ‘machine’.
In addition, ‘Deus ex Machina’, known as the prototype of the phrase, refers to the ancient Greek stage technique.
It is now commonly used in movies and literature, but…
“ah.”
literary work.
novel.
“What?”
Did I just say it out loud?
“no. it’s nothing. When I saw the signature of a noble person, my heart trembled.
I was now floundering with a dry wash, and Tess was back upright like a doll carved out of bamboo.
It seems that there is a law of preserving coolness between us.
I was calm when Tess was embarrassed, but now she’s giving me a grim expression even for me.
Isenia pretended that she had seen a very funny sight, and quickly handed the envelope to the baron.
The middle-aged man who received the paper knife from the servant ripped the paper and said indifferently.
“Let’s take guests home. I’ll have to go back to the studio.”
“Yes, Baron.”
uh? Yeah? I was instantly blown away!
“I am sorry for ending the dinner so hastily. We will talk about the priest-sama’s settlement of Atsuma again later.”
“Baron?”
“There is an emergency, so it will be difficult to talk today.”
As she blinked at the knights and servants, several people rushed behind us.
It was a gesture to remove the chair and hand over the coat. I quickly checked the time.
at nine o’clock. There was still no news from outside.
We had to wait here until we got certain information.
The idea of going back to the ‘workroom’ instead of the office was a bit scruffy from the beginning.
Besides, I wanted to know the contents of that letter. must know!
“But I haven’t heard of Princess Francisca yet.”
What did the Werner cubs say!
“I’ll put it off until later.”
The baron’s gaze had already left me.
Isenia got up from her seat, brushing her long hair.
It was a face that had lost interest.
I felt the courage in my arms hugging me tightly with both wings.
I spoke bitterly. damn!
“What do you think of your daughter’s work?”
Crash! The paper fluttered wildly in the woman’s hand.
She raised her head and had an expression on her face as if she was going to stab me with her eyes at any moment.
I know that I was overreacting and rude by the standards of ordinary people.
But in order to catch anything, shouldn’t we have to pretend to throw a net?
“What did you just say?”
“Your daughter, Princess Francisca. He was stricken with the imperial flu a few years ago and was brought back to life.”
A girl passing by in the hallway. Unlike other servants, he was immature and busy running away after seeing his guests.
A large, dark red spot on one cheek.
A portrait of a nobleman hanging on the wall. Two children clinging to their father in black.
A newborn baby in a painting held alone in her mother’s arms.
Dark red spots painted over plump cheeks.
Is it all just a coincidence?
At first glance, is there a girl who doesn’t walk the same path as her mother?
“. I was curious about what you are doing these days and how you are doing.”
no. Such clues are usually given only to ‘us’.
Like the interference of a machine god.
“Now what the hell is that…”
The baron furrowed his brow fiercely.
I took the moment her hand went down and quickly scanned the letter.
It was difficult to read quickly because the letters looked upside down—
– Empty!
profit! At that moment, with a strong knock, the door opened again.
This time, he took off his helmet and put it on his side.
Even if I glanced at it, I could tell that it was a completely different atmosphere from before.
He looked around us with a dazed look on his face, bowed down to the baron, and reported like a rapid-fire gun.
“Lord, this is an emergency. It is said that three months were born in the spruce forest!”
“What?”
“Oh, that’s right. Did you catch me today?”
The baron’s face was now completely livid.

On the other hand, Isenia, who had her neck decapitated, was delighted by revealing her fangs.
Her eyes were already looking out the distant window.
Tess and I clenched our fists under the table, waiting for the next word.
“The low-level beasts of the forest are suddenly waking up from their winter slumber and rushing over here, and the number and momentum are incredible! The mercenaries are blocking the front lines, but at this rate…!”
“Leave it to me, and you will take care of the baron. workroom.”
“Yes! Princess!”
The knights immediately bowed their heads.
I tried to manage my expression with sad thoughts as much as possible, but I couldn’t stand the joy and shouts that erupted inside me.
Tess, sitting next to him, seemed to be in a similar situation.

Oops, I did it! Our friends did it!
The operation is running steadily!
“Excuse me for a second.”
– Spot!
Just then, Isenia was stinging at me like a wasp.
As I got up from my seat, I slumped in and accepted her approach.
Dark hair slid down the nape of my neck.
It looked like it was playing at 0.25x speed, but it actually happened in the blink of an eye.
At the same time, a creepy whisper haunted my ears. ‘Just one bite before you go.’
Yes?
“Because it looks delicious.”
“·······Huh?”
Huh, what’s that just touched your neck?
*
At that time, in the ground.
– Aww!
“Whoa!”
The North Gate of the Guild Chamber’s basement went out with a tremendous roar.
Young Ji-min, who was moving slowly as usual, turned their eyes in amazement.
Some of the dogs fell to the ground and fell on the floor.
The helmets of the supervisors who were monitoring and commanding them also returned at once.
-Woodangtongtang!
“evacuation! Evacuate out of power! Evacuate in an orderly fashion in three or ten columns!”
The man who appeared like a gale through the broken door gave an order in a loud and dignified voice.
A few white hairs were running down the outside of the meticulously pressed helmet.
The man who stood by his side pointed out the direction to go out with a scabbard.
He was so large that his armor was so small that his shoulders seemed to escape.
For a moment, Young Ji-min’s faces went blank. No one could move hastily, wondering what the situation was again.
“Hey, what’s going on!”
“A horde of beasts has appeared from the spruce forest and is approaching this place! The baron ordered all participants to evacuate to the hills!”
“What?”
As the man responded, the supervisors with whips turned to each other, perplexed.
I had no choice but to do so.
It was the season when the beasts hibernate, and even if they didn’t sleep, there was no reason for them to come here foolishly.
The dragon’s ‘Pysis’ was thoroughly protected.
“Repeat. This is the Lord’s order to move all commoners!”
The overseer, who had broken the door, raised his voice again, and the others nodded shakily.
“Hey, but aren’t you off duty tonight? Didn’t you say that your wife is giving birth!?”
…until someone shouts that out.
