Episode 234. New Mission (3)
Although it is called the Land of Death, the town of Luzeto is rich in numerous mineral resources.
After a deeper conversation with the village chief, it turned out that this village was originally an area governed by another noble.
Lucia Breedman, head of the Breedman Counts family.
It is said that he was a nobleman close to the imperial family who enjoyed the great trust of Emperor Carmine, but suddenly disappeared.
It is said that the Byold family is trying to fill the void left by his disappearance.
As if it was a promise.
-That elf guy was seen at the nobles’ meeting surrounding the royal family this time. Spryke, disguised as Enviel, detected him but lost track of him in the end.
Before leaving on a mission, Shaikhar relayed to us what he had received reports from his subordinate spirits.
It was good that we were able to stop Machia’s plot and protect the Academy.
However, as a result, the highest vested position of the emperor was vacated, and the fight surrounding it caused another bloody war.
The original dirty history was distorted, and another dirty history was created to fill in the gaps.
It seems that other places may end up seeing blood instead of the Academy, which has turned a blind eye to seeing blood.
-I heard that elf guy is one of the seven Doomsday executives? We can’t just leave the roots of that damn group alone. And it’s also suspicious that he suddenly showed up during the royal meeting.
So, at Shaikhar’s recommendation, we settled in this village of Luzeto.
To a place that was once the Elven Forest and can be called the home of Grisha High End.
The other guys, aside from the four of us, are said to be investigating other areas.
Although his strength has been drained, Lyman is not done yet and will not sit still to wipe out any traces of Doomsday.
‘Yeah, there’s no next chapter.’
Maquia, the mastermind behind this game, has already fallen.
In the end, we can assume that the God of Destruction, the source of Chapter 6, will never be resurrected… but we still can’t let go of the tension.
Another bloody battle is brewing over the Emperor’s throne.
The comfort of the subordinates caught up in it only becomes food for their evil desires.
It wouldn’t be strange if I were caught in the middle of this.
So we need to destroy this new chapter they’ve created.
For that, I gritted my teeth and accepted the ritual of flashes of light and dressed up as a woman(?)… .
“Radon Crowler? Who is that?”
“yes?”
Ruska and I stand in front of the entrance to the ruins guarded by the knights of Biold.
I clearly accepted the flash ritual to deceive the knights’ eyes. I had no choice for the mission.
But let’s think about it. The villagers, including the village chief, don’t know about my existence.
Wouldn’t that also apply to the knights stationed here?
Even if they are directly affiliated with the Bayold family, if the villagers don’t know, they have no way of knowing.
The Harkel family head, who recently came to see the village chief, simply handed the chief my photo.
He just passed by without even meeting the reporters.
Because the village chief will take care of spreading the word.
“Whose name is that?”
“Is this someone we should know?”
So, it was inevitable that such reactions would come out of the knights’ mouths.
My hair was longer than usual now, and it was fluttering shiny with just a slight breeze.
To anyone who saw her, she looked like a pure and innocent girl.
“I did it for nothing…! F**k.”
Moreover, the voice coming out of Muto’s mouth was also a woman’s.
I felt a huge sense of loss because I had done cross-dressing again, which I never wanted to do again, and it was all in vain.
The anger that followed was also beyond imagination. I felt like grabbing the hair of Ruska standing next to me and fighting with her right now…
‘If it were a physical fight, I’d definitely lose, right?’
Even though it’s frustrating, you have to look at the situation and make a decision.
And Ruska also looked very confused and embarrassed, as if her conscience was pricked by this.
Yeah, it’s not all your fault. It’s also my fault for misjudging the situation.
‘Ugh~’
He met the knights’ eyes with a heartbroken expression.
The knights who saw that sight suddenly turned on their lights and spoke.
“By the way…, what is your name?”
“If there’s anything you want, just tell us. We’ll help you.”
They looked at me and began to wriggle their bodies with a pleased smile.
It was an appearance reminiscent of club men who, upon seeing someone they clearly like, are unable to contain their excitement and rush towards them.
Then, he approaches me with an increasingly brighter expression.
“You, don’t look at me so strangely.”
“Yeah, you don’t have to make a weird face. It’s just… because you’re pretty.”
Ah… I wish I hadn’t heard that.
“Ugh!!”
I immediately screamed and banged my head against a nearby tree.
A loud bang echoed through the air, and a huge tree fell down like a stick.
As a result, I ended up with a large scar on my forehead… but I had no reason to notice the pain.
“Zenjaaaaang!!”
When I screamed like a pterosaur, the knights were greatly embarrassed and tried to calm me down.
“Oh, Miss, what’s wrong!”
“Did we act rude? Then we apologize.”
Their faces turned pale, perhaps thinking that it was their fault.
This is just a treatment given to me because I am ultimately considered a pitiful lady.
This time, I just wanted to cut my long hair and show off the symbol of my proud manhood.
But it was Ruska who stopped me from going wild like that.
“Sorry, sorry! We just wanted to pass through this forest. Something bad has happened to my sister recently, and I’m really upset!”
As expected, she was the only one who could subdue the rampaging man.
But what did you just say? Little sister? Did you eat your rice upside down?
As I was about to scream again, she whispered in my ear.
“Listen carefully. If we can get through here safely, we can reach those ruins safely. To do that, I need your help with the beauties.”
“Uh, beauty queen?”
I just felt a sudden stop in my mind.
Because in that split second, thousands and millions of curses came to mind and overloaded right before they came out of my mouth.
Of course, it is true that you have to pass through here. If the villagers tried to approach, they would have pointed their swords at you right away.
At least, I have to pass through here on foot, even if it’s only on the condition that I’m accompanied by knights.
So I had to try the most disgusting acting I’ve ever done.
First, take a deep breath… .
“Gentlemen…, can we pass by here for a bit?”
I clung to the knights and acted cute.
The knights’ cheeks turned red as they held hands, rubbed their bodies, and showed off their skills, and then some of them even started getting nosebleeds.
It was ridiculous.
X, I was speechless.
Still, I had to endure it.
“Oh, of course.”
“But, you’re coming with us.”
Although he succeeded, he was left with emotional scars in return.
If I had recorded that scene just now and played it back, I would have definitely frothed at the mouth and fainted.
In this way, many knights came to accompany me and Ruska.
Since Ruska and I weren’t well known by name, they seemed to have decided that it would be okay for us to enter this restricted area.
Jenny and Mary, excluding the two of us, are exploring the forest in a different direction with the help of the village chief.
Perhaps that’s the path that leads to the hidden passage in the mine.
“But ladies, are you a student of Alighieri?”
“Well, yeah.”
“Every time I see that uniform, I feel a little sorry. Our head of the household’s son was a student there, but he did something strange and got expelled.”
From my perspective, it was an incident that needed no further explanation.
It seemed that Ruska was the same, as she had a very calm expression on her face.
“Travel Bayold, he was a normal kid when he was at the mansion, but he changed a lot when he entered the academy.”
“….”
Having received a thorough education from his father, he was a nobleman with excellent manners.
But that education included false indoctrination about the Chainsilver family.
“What was that… lycanthrope? He played around with it and ended up being kicked out of the family and thrown in jail. And I heard he starved to death in prison recently.”
It was quite a surprising story, so Ruska opened her eyes wide, but I already knew what it was about.
I’m the one who made him like that. Of course, I have no regrets.
“Our lord is really strange. He didn’t shed a single tear even though his own child died.”
“….”
“I don’t understand how you can have the nerve to aim for the emperor’s seat. How can you… when you don’t even value your own family?”
Even knights had things they had to protect, including their families.
So, even though he became the target knight, the higher-ups controlling him seemed to have thoughts that insulted their goal.
It was actually exactly as it appeared in the background setting of Devil Aka.
So when numerous knights tried to move to Chainsilver… it is said that Harkel, who caught them, beheaded them.
The backlash from the knights of House Bield against this response was bound to be fierce.
There was no longer any reason to show a sense of duty to the family. Just like the knights who were accompanying me now.
“You guys actually came here to investigate those ruins, right?”
A man who appeared to be an executive asked us.
Since the words had come out like that, Ruska judged that he had been found out and immediately summoned his weapon.
But I stopped her, holding her hand.
“You were going to knock us out and force your way into those ruins, weren’t you?”
“….”
There was no room for excuses anymore.
That’s why Ruska tried to be wary of them with a sharp expression, but I kept stopping her.
It was natural for him to lose his temper.
“Why do you keep stopping me! I already found out.”
“It was something that didn’t matter even if it was found out in the first place.”
Ruska wondered what that meant, but she was only able to understand it after observing the knights’ actions in detail.
Even though they noticed our actions, they didn’t carry a single weapon.
He remained without drawing his sword, and his hands were crossed or at a loss.
“Don’t worry. We won’t fight you.”
These were knights who belonged to the Biold, but had no intention of devoting themselves to it.
Although Ruska had only just realized it, it was still difficult to understand.
“Aren’t you going to stop us?”
“Why should we stop you? Rather, it would be a blessing for us if the head of the household were to be overthrown.”
Despite such complaints, they could not easily change affiliations.
Whether their families were captured in the realm, or they had a lot of light, or they had a lot of things going on, there were various circumstances for them.
“Recently, the tyranny of the head of the household has become more severe as he tries to take the vacant throne of the emperor. If he were to ascend to the throne of the emperor….”
It will be a nightmare for them too.
This country would be hell if not for the vassals who were brainwashed by some of the lords.
“But I think it would be better to give up on going to that ruins.”
“Why? You guys too, surely…, gasp!”
At that moment, something attacked me from the front.
Ruska frowned, her nerves tense at the evil and unpleasant aura.
Of course, I also sensed that energy and my heart almost sank.
“Now that I’m here, I can sense ‘that guy’s’ presence.”
“That guy?”
“Do you know why we guard this road so that no one can pass?”
I didn’t realize it until now, but as I got closer to the ruins, I could feel a tremendous madness.
Since I was a shaman, I could tell what this absurd energy was.
“There’s a spirit living there. And he’s a very annoying guy.”
If you just look at the energy, it would be the best at a guess.
