Chapter 419
I was debating whether or not to tell him that I had decided to go to the Lich’s grave because Ellen had come to visit me.
The reason why Harriet decided to follow was because Ellen couldn’t be dragged in when she was already nervous. If I were to tell her, she would definitely have followed me.
I don’t know if Bertus would try to drag Ellen in, but I didn’t want Ellen to be there.
So I was thinking about how to evade it, but Ellen made a sudden move.
I wanted to say something, but I never imagined that we would suddenly kiss.
Why did you suddenly act like that? I wonder if there was some kind of change of heart, but Ellen didn’t properly explain or do anything, she just said sorry and left.
The unfamiliar touch on my lips, Ellen’s expression and eyes flickered in my head.
Even though it’s not the time to think about it.
I wondered what Ellen was thinking and why she had left without a word, but I couldn’t think of such a thing right now.
I immediately called Lucinil.
“Are you sure?”
When I explained the situation to Lucille as quickly as possible, Lucynil asked back with a serious expression.
“Lotus Dwin may not be Cantus Magna, but it’s certain that the elite of the Empire will head to the lich’s tomb.”
Even if it wasn’t Kantus Magna, it was certain that the Empire’s elite would enter the Lich’s tomb now. Quantum Maze might break through, and after that, the fight could become unmanageable.
“I also decided to join the Imperial forces and go to the lich’s tomb. In serious cases, you may have to decide to withdraw, and in some cases, you may have to fight. Because we need to secure at least one mage from Cantus Magna. We need to inform the order and the council quickly. Also, please pass the information on to Sarkegar and Royar.”
“okay.”
After Lucinil had said that, he reconciled and disappeared into the fog.
While trying to catch Cantus Magna, the best of the empire were coming along. It might be your only chance to catch the Cantus Magna, but should you withdraw?
If all of Kantus Magna is taken away by the Empire or if all of them die before securing information, the situation will become dirty.
And, if you make a mistake, there is a good chance that you will create an opportunity for them to complete Akasha.
Today at the earliest, tomorrow at the latest, I head for the lich’s tomb with the Imperial forces.
There is no such thing as something to prepare.
I felt like praying.
don’t believe in god
And if there is such a thing as a god, the real god in this world will be me, so I can’t pray to anyone.
I am the only body in this world that cannot pray to anyone.
I am a God.
And my power is the commandment.
“Everything will be fine.”
So, I pray to myself.
“Everything should be fine.”
In the end, I have to do well.

Saturday night.
An emergency meeting was called in a land ruled by eternal winter.
Originally, it was the principle that only the members of the Vampire Council would gather at the round table of the conference hall, but the nature of the council had changed a little, and because of the specificity of the current situation, people other than vampires were also gathered here.
Among the original members, the heads of the four families of Lord Vampires, excluding Antirianus, who is in charge of the Lich’s tomb.
Eleris, Lucinil, Lruen, Galarsch.
And even Sakkegar, Valie’s minion.
Epinhauser, a member of the Black Order, was also present.
In fact, most of them were gathered except for Rheinkan Slope Royal.
“Are you sure that Lotwin is a member of Cantus Magna?”
At Ellerith’s question, Lucinil narrowed his brows.
“I can’t be sure. Because it’s just the circumstances. However, seeing that he was able to escape after doing such a thing in the imperial palace, and seeing that he was blinded by a large amount of magic books, it would be strange if he wasn’t Kantus Magna. And if this is the will of Cantus Magna, it means that he decided to go all-out on this thing no matter what he’s been doing up until now. Apparently they’re focusing all their resources on the lich’s grave now. And even if it doesn’t, it’s possible that something bad will happen if he drools on the bait we set.”
At Lucinil’s words, Galarsh crossed his arms and nodded.
“That’s important, but even more important is the fact that the Empire’s all-out force is directed there. The tomb will be breached, and I doubt it will be possible for us to rescue the mages of Cantus Magna.”
Just as the banner of the temple was built under the goal of nurturing outstanding talents regardless of social status, Chanafell and the Royal Magician Order are places where such ‘nurtured’ talents are gathered.
It is the strongest group of mankind filled with those who have exceptional talent and intelligence as well as proven loyalty to mankind and the empire.
No matter how powerful the secret society is, no matter how powerful it is, the superhumans who filter and filter them concentrate their power in one place, and there is no way they can deal with it.
From there, they do not kill the key personnel of Cantus Magna, but take them out.
“It might be better to withdraw rather than rely on too low a chance. If you bleed to get a clue to the Cantus Magna, it might be irreversible, right?”
Lluen was of the opinion that it might be best to consider withdrawing.
In the first place, only Elleris, Lucinil, and Antirianus agreed to fully cooperate with the Council.
Galarche and Leroin agreed to cooperate as much as they could, but had no intention of giving their lives for Valier.
So, if the situation became too dangerous, I was ready to step out.
Dealing with Cantus Magna and the Empire at the same time in order to learn the truth about the mysterious artifact called Akasha is insane beyond the limit, so Lruen’s judgment is not that strange.
“I agree with Lruen. If it’s only Kantus Magna, it would be an excessively big risk to deal with the Empire.”
Those were Galarsh’s words.
At that, Sarkegar, in the form of an ordinary human male, opened his mouth with a worried voice.
“But, didn’t our lord say he was heading to that place?”
“that’s right.”
At Sarkegar’s words, Lucinil nodded.
“Valieh decided to join the Imperial forces and head for the tomb. So, Valier’s safety itself won’t be under too much of a threat. But we don’t know how much energy Kantus Magna will put into it. So he’s not entirely safe. And even if we went, we might not necessarily end up fighting in person. We can observe the situation from afar and intervene if we feel that this is what we need. And well, in the situation where we captured the magician of Cantus Magna, we could sneak a peek at the situation later.”
Lucinil stares at Sarkegar.
“Aren’t you good at that?”
Lucinil and Sarkegar met several times to make contact, so Lucinil already knew enough about Sarkegar’s power.
Sarkegar is good at camouflage and infiltration rather than direct combat.
“You deserve to be called an expert.”
At those confident words, Epinhauser stared at Sarkegar. However, Epinhauser said nothing in particular.
“The imperial family would rather capture them than kill them all. It’s not too late to find out why he did that and hang him. However, since Cantus Magna has decided to give his all, we must be prepared as well.”
“Lucinil, are you saying you want to go there?”
At Lucinil’s words, Lluen stared at the silver-haired girl in puzzlement.
“Yeah, will you?”
“I don’t quite understand. That Lucinil was so eager to take his side… … .”
At Lluen’s words, Lucinil crossed his arms.
“A pretty girl is originally something I want to give a rice cake to, and I think she’s pretty enough for our Bali.”
Lucinil smiled brightly, and Lluen sighed deeply as if he couldn’t understand.
It was a situation where Lucinel had somehow ended up presiding over the meeting.
There are a total of six people gathered here.
Lucinil, Elerys, Sarkegar, Epinhauser, Lruen, Galarsch.
In case of any emergency at Lich’s tomb, someone decided to observe the situation and intervene if necessary.
“Anyway, I will go. Raise your hand if you’re not going there.”
At those words, Lruen raised his hand.
“… … ?”
It was Lluen alone who raised his hand.
“… … Galarsch, are you too old to be deaf?”
At the words of the oldest vampire, who was seriously concerned about the aging of vampires, Galarsh replied plainly.
“I intend to go.”
“… … yes?”
Like Lluen, Galarche was not very willing to cooperate with Vallier. So, of course, I thought he would not attend, but he accompanies me.
Lluen silently watches Galarche’s ferocious expressionless expression.
Galarsh was staring at the grinning Lucinil. It’s clear he’s following because he’s worried about Lucinil.
“Ah, what a disingenuous monster… … .”
“Noisy you goblin.”
“What, what?! A goblin?”
“You were the one who called me a monster in the first place.”
Epinhauser just watched the fight between the elves and the orc vampires.
In the end, everyone except Lluen decided to go to the site.
“I’m not the kind of person who gets swept away like this… … . obviously not… … .”
When everyone said they were going, I started to think that something was wrong if I fell in love with myself, and even though it was not a decision like this, the thought that I didn’t want to leave was soaring.
“No, Lluen, you have a personality that gets swept away.”
Those were Lucynil’s words.
“Well, it definitely is.”
It was Ellerith’s comment.
“According to my judgment after seeing you for a long time, you have no backbone.”
And until Galarsh’s final words.
Because memories are reset every 200 years, the words of the Lord Vampires who have watched Lluen for a longer time than himself were more accurate.
Knowing that, the already pale complexion of the elf vampire turned even whiter.
“ji… … . Really?”
“Yeah, it’s always like this. This is always my reaction when I realized that you think you have strong opinions, but in fact you have a personality that can be swayed around without a backbone.”
At Lucinil’s words, Lruen opened his mouth.
“I… … . I don’t have any sense… … ?”
In fact, Lluen had no intention of cooperating with Valié, but when Galarche decided to side with Valié, he reluctantly agreed to cooperate.
at last.
Lluen, who had no backbone, finally decided to go to Richie’s grave together.
