Episode 219. Leading the Moonlight
“Nothing! I searched the entire castle, but there was not a single trace of it!”
“I also tracked Kai Felix’s unique aura, but he is not in the castle.”
“… … I’m sure you know the rules.”
The Ramsdale branch of the cattle ranch was deeply impressed. No matter how much I thought about it, this was not a normal situation.
Notice of class cancellation due to personal reasons of Legia.
And then Kai Felix suddenly disappeared.
“There’s no way I’d leave without saying anything.”
If something had happened, I would have told you in advance.
“There’s no way Kai Felix would break the rules and go out for no reason.”
Everyone nodded to Sogaju’s words.
Even if something urgent comes up that doesn’t allow for notification, there should be a trace left behind.
So where is Kai Felix now?
For a moment, the worst-case scenario occurred to Sogaju’s mind.
“There wouldn’t be any big shot who would dare do something like that within Ramsdale Territory.”
Someone broke into the castle and kidnapped Kai Felix.
There was no other way to explain this situation. But that was also impossible.
Sogaju gave up on speculating further about the situation.
This is something I can’t solve on my own.
I didn’t want to do it because it would prove my lack of ability, but I couldn’t rule out the possibility that something bigger could happen if I dragged it out like this.
“I have to report this to the Black Star. This is not something I can handle on my own.”
Sogaju went straight to find Geomseong. Geomseong happened to be with Legia.
“Calm down, Legia.”
“Geumseong, I don’t know if this is real or fake, but I have to go.”
“Your Majesty.”
As soon as Sogaju knocked, he went straight inside.
“We are having an urgent conversation right now, Sogaju.”
“I’m really sorry, but I think something more urgent has come up.”
“What? More urgent matters?”
“yes.”
Sogaju quickly explained the current situation.
After hearing the whole story, Geomseong grimaced.
“Did you find it well?”
“Yes, at least I don’t think there are any inside the castle.”
That really meant that Kai had gone outside the castle.
But it was strange.
Kai Felix has grown greatly in Kensei’s classes.
I was able to put down all the burdens I had been carrying, free myself from the burdens, and be reborn as my true self.
So Kai suddenly gave up on the training and went outside?
wherefore?
Geomseong watched Kai grow right before his eyes.
The head of the branch also thought that Kai Felix would break through his limits and become stronger by the end of the training camp after watching Kai spar with Ethan.
There is no way that Kai Felix would have given up on the training and left the castle on his own.
“I tried not to think too deeply about it, but my common sense tells me that there is no reason why Mr. Kai Felix would go to the training camp.”
“That’s strange. There’s no way I could just leave like Sogaju said.”
Geomseong understood why the head of the branch family had come to see him in such an urgent manner.
And at the same time, I was impressed by Legia.
“Isn’t it strange?”
“It’s strange. Certainly.”
Even Legia, who had been excited, regained her composure as if she sensed something strange.
“My son has been sick in bed for a long time. So I put a spell on him. It’s a very simple spell that will give him a signal when something unexpected happens.”
Even though my son’s illness had completely healed, the magic still remained.
Legia waited for her son to notice the magic inside him and release it. Then she would no longer have to worry about him.
But just before entering class, the signal suddenly rang.
It is unknown whether the son had an accident or whether a signal was received during the process of dispelling the magic.
But once the signal sounded, Legia had no choice but to go to her son immediately.
Because of this, Legia was completely focused on getting to her son as soon as possible, and when Legia suddenly said she was leaving, Geomseong came to see her in person to find out what was going on.
and.
“Kai Felix is missing.”
While the two strongest members of this training camp were distracted, Kai Felix disappeared.
“I got hit.”
The blacksmith let out a deep sigh. And then, in that moment, he emitted an aura so strong that it made everyone there flinch.
“dare……!”
“Your Majesty, I have one more thing to tell you.”
Sogaju mentioned one more thing that was concerning among the things reported.
“Teacher Ethan broke down the door and checked?”
“Yes, he seemed to know something.”
“Teacher Ethan right now… … .”
Before he could finish speaking, I felt a familiar aura along with the sound of footsteps.
And soon after, Ethan showed up.
“I said that because I thought you might be looking for me.”
* * *
“Did you feel something strange?”
“yes.”
Ethan first explained why he reacted so quickly, of course he mixed in some lies about the details.
“That can’t be true… … .”
“You were a follower of the moon… … You couldn’t possibly be one of their agents.”
As expected, the guards and members of the Ramsdale branch who were familiar with Ethan’s words disputed his words.
“That’s why I kept quiet. I heard from Mr. Shiron that you were the security chief, and I was an outsider.”
Ethan replied that he was staying still because he was not in a position to take immediate action just because he thought something was strange. Geomseong nodded at that.
“Bring the security chief right now.”
“yes!”
Not long after, the security chief appeared with a resentful look on his face.
“Why on earth are you doing this!”
“Tell me the truth.”
“Why would I do something like that! And if I did, I would have run away right away! It’s so unfair! How could I possibly kidnap someone like Mr. Kai Felix!”
It made sense. There was a huge skill gap between the security chief and Kai Felix.
Black Star examined the guard closely. If there was something he was hiding, he planned to see it through.
But I didn’t feel anything. It was just the level of a security guard. With that level, there’s no way he could subdue Kai Felix.
To subdue Kai Felix, who has grown to a higher level, you need a power that can literally overwhelm him.
Not only that, it is not easy to subdue Kai Felix without getting a scratch unless you are a very skilled fighter.
Black Swordsman looked through the guard’s toes, keeping all possibilities open.
“There isn’t a single scratch.”
However, the security captain was not injured at all, so Ethan’s opinion that the security captain was strange could not be proven.
In this case, the one who became suspicious was Ethan.
Skills that could overwhelm Kai Felix. And then, he even suddenly cuts down the door to the room Kai Felix was staying in.
Then Ethan opened his mouth.
“This is what’s scary about these moon followers.”
Ethan approached the security guard without hesitation.
“They hide their identity for a long time to avoid suspicion from the outside world. They only carry out the operation when they are sure that it will be successful. It looks like the real security chief has already left.”
“what?”
The blacksmith looked at Ethan. Ethan put his hand on the guard captain’s temple.
Then he moved his hands roughly as if he was tearing off her face.
“Kkaaaaaaah-!”
“Wh, what are you doing!”
The surprised Ramsdale branch tried to stop Ethan, but Ethan stomped away sooner than they could.
Kuung-!
The security guard, who had been in pain, fell forward.
Ethan grabbed the guard by the neck and lifted him up.
“!”
At that moment, everyone present was shocked.
“What, what is this!”
“I am not a security guard!”
“It’s a special artifact used by the followers of the moon.”
It was an artifact so unique that even the Sword Master and Legia couldn’t figure it out.
‘I never thought you’d use a face changer that uses your life force as collateral. You’re so loyal, aren’t you? You’re probably a second order at best.’
Ethan immediately destroyed the artifact. There were several types of this artifact called the Face Changer, but this one was a low-grade artifact that cost life, so it had no real value.
‘It’s mainly used by those who want to show their loyalty to the company.’
Everyone present looked at Ethan with a suspicious look, as if wondering how he had noticed that.
“As you all know, I learned a lot while working at the Inquisition.”
The follower of the moon, whose identity was revealed, looked at Ethan with a shocked expression.
“Uh, how, how… … .”
I couldn’t accept it. It was an artifact that had never been discovered before. And yet, to have detected it… .
Ethan glared at the moon follower.
For a moment, the moon follower felt extreme fear.
Interest knows everything. Everything, without exception!
“Mother Moon, please protect me. Mother Moon.”
He trembled and cried out the name of Mother Moon. He was so frightened that he had lost his senses.
With this, the kidnapper’s identity has been confirmed.
“Sogaju.”
“yes.”
The Sogaju took the Moon Follower with them. The intention was to extract some solid information before resolving this situation.
“Legia, I fully understand what you are worried about. However, since it seems likely that your worries are unfounded, would it be okay if I ask you to wrap up the lesson now?”
“I will check it myself, Geomseong.”
As Legia said this, she followed Sogaju.
“I’m sorry, Mr. Ethan. I never thought this would happen… … .”
Black Star bowed his head. If it weren’t for Ethan, it would have been difficult to properly grasp the situation.
“I will never forget this favor.”
-Your chances of survival increase!
“No. It was something that had to be done.”
“Just rest.
“Your Majesty, I’m sorry to say this, but now that I know about this situation, I can’t just sit back and do nothing. Could you help me find Mr. Kai?”
“… … .”
Ethan is a new teacher who attended the training session.
It was not right for the instructor, who was in charge of this training, to ask a new teacher for help with such an important matter.
Of course, Ethan also knew that, so he saved Geomseong’s face by doing what he asked.
In that case, there is no reason for Geomseong to refuse.
“Thank you so much.
“I will move separately. Like the special forces of the Sword Master.”
Geomseong opened his eyes wide. How far could he possibly be considered?
It was an incredible amount of worldly wisdom for a new teacher.
“You’re going to be really great. More than I could have imagined.”
The blacksmith immediately gave Ethan a permit.
It was a permit that allowed free entry and exit outside of Yeongju Castle during this training session.
“You have class tomorrow too. You just need to move with my special forces until tonight.”
“yes.”
* * *
Ethan set out to find traces of the Moon’s followers scattered throughout the castle.
In addition to the traces in the restaurant, there were traces here and there that only the followers of the moon could see.
‘I need to check it quickly.’
These traces disappear over time.
As if it had never been there in the first place.
Fortunately, there were many traces left, perhaps because it was right after the operation.
“You were a chef.”
Ethan was soon able to find other traces of the restaurant besides the ones he had first discovered.
“The food was poisoned. Kai Felix collapsed. The real security chief kidnapped Kai Felix.”
Ethan walked around the kitchen and sniffed. The smell of poison was still present among the heavy odor of food.
It wasn’t an ordinary poison. It had such a faint smell that someone who didn’t know about poison wouldn’t even be able to smell it.
However, Ethan had knowledge of numerous poisons, so he was able to quickly identify it.
‘I bet you made me fall asleep.’
Ethan headed towards the entrance of the castle.
“Open the door with the authority of the security chief.”
He just went out of the castle. This whole process unfolded very quickly.
‘This is more difficult than I thought.’
If they had attacked openly, it would have been much easier to deal with. I never thought they would kidnap us like this.
‘And it’s getting dark now.’
It was quite a difficult situation.
They even calculated the time thoroughly.
If it weren’t for Ethan right now, it wouldn’t have been easy to realize that Kai Felix was gone.
Even if I had noticed, it would have been completely dark by then.
If that happens, pursuit will be virtually impossible.
Ethan looked up at the sky. Time was running out.
“We need the power to track it.”
Ethan went straight into the new world and entered the keyword.
There were two keywords.
[Hunting], [Tracking]
-Search for keywords.
-The algorithm recommends a god that suits your current situation.
“It’s a very familiar name.”
-Artemis, the Goddess of Hunting Who Leads the Moonlight [Difficulty: High]
