No matter how luxurious and spacious a mansion or building is, it cannot be without flaws.
reason?
Because we can’t get rid of all the dust, flies, and things like that.
Especially in areas where light, such as sunlight, does not reach, dirty elements are bound to be prevalent.
That’s why you shouldn’t take cleaning lightly, and it’s not for nothing that you pay a lot of money to hire a cleaning company.
Even if you clean thoroughly, you don’t know where and how the dirty things come from.
In that sense… .
“I can’t believe it’s already been 13 years since I graduated from the Academy.”
“You, are you from the Academy?”
“I graduated at the top of my class from the Department of Swordsmanship.”
“… I guess there weren’t any people that year.”
“kyung!?”
“Nongilse.”
In the case of the academy, which is so vast, it is inevitable that there will be many ‘hidden, dirty’, so-called rat bastards.
The eastern section of the academy is reminiscent of a vast city.
It was an area covered in thick bushes, and was a place with many rare herbs and wood, so it was a place that only people from the Alchemy or Magic departments would visit.
Especially on a day like today when the entrance exam is being held, it is a place where even fewer people come, so it would be a good place for outsiders to hide.
… However, even if someone were to come into the forest, they would never notice that there was a person.
That makes sense.
“No one would notice the law, right?”
“The recovery room nuns are quite capable, but they won’t be able to detect our sacred methods.”
Woohoo.
The law of the sexes.
A sacred art that only those who serve the light of light, such as priests and nuns, can learn.
Some call it sacred magic, and there were many different types of sacred magic to warrant such a name.
And the fact that they use the Holy Law is nothing less than blatant evidence that they are figures of the temple.
[The Law of Darkness].
It was a spell that specialized in stealth, to the extreme extent of eliminating the caster’s appearance and presence.
Even though they were hiding in the forest, the fact that they used these methods showed how meticulously they prepared for any eventuality.
And there were only two places in the temple where these sacred laws were used so skillfully.
One is the Hound of the Temple, the heretic inquisitor who lives mostly in the shadows, and the other is the holy knights who operate mostly in the sunny part of the temple, wielding countless glories and honors more than any other knightly order, and wearing white armor.
So it was easy to determine their affiliation just by looking at the armor they were wearing.
Because the white armor and the swan symbol engraved on it told us who they were.
[Paladin].
They were none other than the knights of the temple who had mastered both the martial arts and the sacred arts.
“Chief, is it really necessary for us to do this?”
“Why are you like that? Are you hurting your pride?”
“… I’d be lying if I said it didn’t hurt.”
“Put your pride aside for now. Restoring the glory of the temple is more important than personal honor.”
“Is this really possible?”
“Do you think it won’t work?”
“I understand the plan itself. But isn’t the question whether we can fool Galahad?”
“Maybe, maybe, I will.”
“?”
“There is something like that.”
“Don’t you think you lack confidence? Why don’t you answer…?”
“…It’s noisy.”
The captain did not elaborate.
Even though you are a member of the group, you cannot tell them everything that is confidential.
… Well, I was careful not to say anything because I was annoyed by the backlash if I said everything.
However, as a member who does not know this content.
“You are too much, really.”
I have no choice but to express my disappointment.
Victor, a knight boasting a three-meter tall build, grumbled.
I respect the captain, but it seems like he feels frustrated and disappointed whenever he hides things like this.
“Victor, what’s your habit of talking to the captain?”
“Why do you only say things to me, senior? Tsk.”
“This guy…!”
The two knights were growling at each other, and the captain did nothing to stop them.
Even without saying anything, you probably don’t like the idea of a bunch of knights doing this to escort a woman.
Of course, he was also dissatisfied… .
‘If it weren’t for the master’s orders, I wouldn’t have followed them.’
It’s funny when you think about it.
‘The plan is to give birth to a saint…’
It’s funny.
Isn’t it a plan to artificially give birth to sacred beings called children of God by human hands?
Frankly, I find this ridiculous.
should…….
“-You were planning to bring a woman with Duke Blake’s genes close to the Duke, and then announce it on the temple level? ‘Hayes Roche is actually your daughter.’”
“… … .”
Erhin de Lohengrin, the leader of the Knights Templar, opened his eyes wide at the sound of a third voice echoing from the forest.
It was not surprising that a third party appeared.
The reason Erhin was so shocked was because he was shocked by the contents of the plan for the temple that was recited as if he was looking into his own mind.
But the owner of the voice continued speaking as if it wasn’t the end yet.
“It’s a really funny plan. No matter what, Blake is not a pushover, and he’s not the kind of guy who would believe the temple’s evidence just because it’s presented. … However, if the woman claiming to be my daughter has the power of ‘dream horse,’ then this plan might work to some extent. [Mystery] powers, even if just a little, would work on him.”
Thud, thud.
He walked leisurely into the forest, not even wearing any armor, and was carrying only a sword at his side and an axe on his back.
Also, because of the blackout spell, it was normal for nothing to be visible, but I was looking straight in the direction they were, as if I could see them even though they were hiding.
“… From now on, this is just my guess, but I think there are three things that the temple kids need. One is for Haze Roche to successfully enter Galahad. The second is to gradually ‘hint’ at Duke Blake using the power of the dream horse so that he regards Haze Roche as his own daughter. The third is to use Galahad’s influence to make Haze Roche a ‘saint’. … Lastly, it would be great if they could also obtain the power of the magic sword.”
“… … .”
“What a ridiculous plan. … No. It’s closer to gambling than planning. But gambling and investing are only a hair’s breadth apart, so it’s right to approach it with the hope that ‘maybe it’ll work out!’ Now that I think about it, these guys at Shinjeon are natural-born gamblers, huh?”
“… are we visible?”
“But that’s the thing about gambling, right? Anything is a 50/50 chance. Swoop, when you think about it, it’s pretty amazing. Executing such an ignorant plan, and the fact that the people who execute it are elites… Are the people who run the world really crazy?”
“I guess you can’t see it.”
The man only kept talking and didn’t respond to Erhin’s questions.
Evidence that the sound-blocking blackout spell is working properly.
so….
“Victor, handle it.”
“Are you dead?”
“then?”
“… The captain is also very thorough.”
Victor, who had been complaining, took up the hammer without complaint the moment Erhin’s order was given.
Victor Volve, ‘The Paladin of the Hammer’.
In terms of power, the knight who could rival the best in the Knights Templar, no, even the best in the kingdom, used the holy law.
[The Magic of Superpower].
Kkwadduk!
A sacred technique that not only increases physical abilities by about ten to twenty times, but also grants instantaneous explosive strength.
Moreover, he is a knight who has mastered not only the sacred law but also the art of gambling.
In reality, it was safe to say that there was nothing that could stop his hammer, and in the past, he had even been able to subdue an ogre’s head in one blow.
Phew!
Thanks to the magic of the Darkness spell, his attacks are invisible and inaudible, so there is no way to block them.
Victor’s hammer flashed so brightly that it struck his opponent’s head hard… .
Fujik!
“… … ?”
For a moment, Victor couldn’t understand the situation.
That makes sense.
‘Hey, why is my arm broken?’
It was clear that he was the one who had attacked, but he couldn’t understand why his arm was dangling.
To him who had a questioning expression on his face.
“To put it in Taechang’s terms, this guy is someone who put all his effort into the strength stat and didn’t invest anything into the skills or intelligence stats.”
Ugh.
“Cough!”
Victor’s body flipped over.
“To put it simply, what you were hit with was more like your power being used in reverse to return the favor. How is that possible? You just need to know the law of action and reaction.”
“Kwaaaaak!”
“What’s the point of just using strength? Your head is just for decoration.”
Kwajijijik!
Victor probably didn’t want to know.
How could a giant of over three meters in height be so flashy and how could his back bend like a shrimp?
He was often criticized for lacking flexibility, but looking at him now, you wouldn’t hear anyone say that.
To that extent, Victor was thoroughly broken, and so-.
Kwajik!
…the spine and backbone were shattered.
So futile that there was absolutely no way to fix it.
Victor Volb.
It was a pointless defeat for the Paladin with the Iron Hammer, who had a reputation even among the Paladins, and it was the moment when he became paralyzed on one side of his body.
“Rain, Victor!”
“Fuck!”
“How dare you touch a knight…!”
The knights who had been dumbfounded by Victor’s futile defeat rushed forward in anger.
As if they would never let an author who dared to touch their colleagues go unchecked.
“Stop!”
However, Erhin felt uneasy and tried to stop the members.
It was an instinctive judgment that he shouldn’t move recklessly, and he thought that he needed to remain calm for now.
However, it was difficult to stop the excited members, and more than ten people rushed in, and so-.
“Why is there so much [trash]?”
Hwaaaaah!
Lee Han happened to have a 3 meter long ‘weapon’ in his hand, and he used it.
‘It’s very soft.’
He swung it very vigorously, like a whip.
That day, the knights found out even though they didn’t want to know.
The fact that the human body can be used as a weapon, and that it can be stronger than most weapons.
… … It was a fact I didn’t want to know at all.
