Chapter 213. Aidan is back 2022.02.15.
In the early morning when the night had not yet gone, the son-in-law was dark. The atmosphere of the Devlin dawn in the north of the continent seemed strangely subdued in combination with the cool climate. The mane of the sun was creeping up beyond the jagged ridge like the fur of a nervous beast. In a small house on the outskirts of the dawn with a faint blue light, conversations were held in silence.
“Both of you, take care.”
There was a lot of deep trust in her eyes as she stared at her escort. worries and concerns at the same time. The outfits of the two contrasted greatly. Falling in love with Enrique, who was wearing a cape with a hat, Aidan revealed his face. A strange sense of tension hung over them ahead of a dangerous operation. The blue morning light through the window illuminated their profile faces.
“I follow Your Majesty’s orders.”
Watching Enrique bow her head and pay her respects to her lord, Mabel handed over the pouch she had prepared in advance.
“It’s a moving magic tool. This is an offensive magic tool. Use it when you are cornered.”
“thank you.”
“Of course, it would be better to escape safely without anything useful.”
“…haha. Iknow, right.”
The role of the bait to attract attention was not easy. Moreover, isn’t this place Devlin, a magical powerhouse? He did not know what kind of magic would put Enrique in danger. Mabel, who was still looking at Enrique with a worried face, turned to the side.
“Aidan.”
“yes.”
Mabel looked at his face and chose the words she wanted to say. But there were so many that I didn’t know what to say.
“You have to be careful.”
So I had no choice but to leave a brief concern.
“Both of you, come safely.”
“yes.”
The figures of the two disappeared as if they had permeated through the dark alleys in different directions. Yang Yang, who was sitting at the feet of Mabel standing by the door, muttered dissatisfiedly.
[Let’s finish this quickly and go back to Ermano. I hate it here.]
“Why?”
[The rice doesn’t taste good…. Uweek.]
Before Mabel returned to her original age, the three men took turns preparing meals, and each time Shinsoo cried out sadly. At least, when Mabel prepared a meal while waiting for her divine power to recover from her baby, she was thrilled and ate it.
“I should be able to go back tonight.”
Mabel tried to calm her anxiously quivering heart. Rather than worrying about an emergency that hadn’t happened yet, it was more important to safely realize the operation that was in front of us.
“Come here, Mabel.”
Mabel entered the room at Oscar’s beckoning and sat down on the bed. Aidan’s destination was the front gate of the Devlin Imperial Castle, and Enrique’s destination was the west gate a short distance from there. And Mabel had to infiltrate Veron’s lab on the east side.
“If Baron invades…”
Oscar was not relieved and gently stroked the head of Mabel, who was about to ask again.
“Don’t worry Mabel. I can do at least avoiding you while protecting you.”
[Me too!]
At the words Oscar and Yangi shouted at the same time, Mabel giggled and nodded.
“Because you’re really trustworthy.”
I was reassured by the fact that there were so many people I could trust by giving everything up again. Quaang! A tremendous roar that could be heard even in a private house far away from the imperial castle. It was the signal to start the operation.
“Are you ready Mabel?”
“of course.”
“Then be careful.”
“huh. I will be back!”
Mabel lay on the old bed and closed her eyes. After a while, the view reversed along with the floating sensation.
***
The sun rose slowly and began to completely dispel the blue dawn light. Part of the towering Devlin Imperial Castle collapsed with a single attack. coo-!
“Magical Knights, get ready to attack!”
“The walls are falling! Watch out for the big falling stones!”
“Oops!”
The unexpected battle in the middle of the ecliptic, Devlin’s soldiers were in a state of confusion.
‘What kind of people raided!’
Beyond the collapsed rubble, a single person stood in the empty lot in front of the imperial castle. Before I was surprised at the fact that there were only one person, not many people, the thick dust cleared and the faces of some of them turned white when they appeared.
“Aidan…?”
With someone’s groaning murmur, Devlin’s soldiers were instantly engulfed in fear. Aidan. Devlin Emperor’s dog. Anyone who participated in the same border battle as him even once had seen it. A demon on the battlefield that cuts down both friends and enemies in an instant. There was no emotion in the little boy’s blood-soaked eyes. Like an existence that only lives for killing. Aidan is back. A young boy becomes a grown man. Before they were even shocked by the fact, Aidan made the first move. As soon as he took a step, the black energy that flew in split the wall.
“Barrier activated!”
The magic knights’ confrontation system, which unfolded at the right time, was activated and blocked Aidan’s attack. Kwagwawang-! Some of the barrier casters sat down vomiting blood at the tremendous attack.
“Fence! There is but one enemy!”
The corner of Aidan’s mouth went up at an angle at the commander’s cry.
“Only one.”
How pitiful it is to be an army that struggles with only one person. Aidan sneered and waited for the right time. Not long after, the one Aidan had been waiting for finally appeared.
“You are back at last. Devlin’s successor.”
Devlin’s Emperor Veron Arthur Devlica with both arms intact. The eyes of the two met for a long time. Aidan was surprised that he was not agitated again. It was calm enough to pass by. If it had been Aidan in the past, he wouldn’t have been able to overcome his excitement as soon as he saw Veron.
‘Even my vengeance can’t overcome the size of my feelings for Mabel.’
Aidan did not forget his duty. I had to take my time. Only then could Mabel safely infiltrate.
“Aidan Devlica. Have you finally returned to your homeland?”
“dog sound.”
“You’ve grown a lot. Prince.”
Aidan blew his energy towards Veron, pretending to be unable to hide his excitement. The flying energy dissipated helplessly at Veron’s gesture.
“You grew up a lot. Too much…”
Each time he was stabbed in the heart before he was even big enough to return to a child, so Veron felt new about Aidan as he grew up.
“It doesn’t matter anyway.”
The important thing is that Aidan walked on his own feet. Besides, I never thought he’d find Aidan when he needed him. Veron ordered Aidan.
“The resistance has been long. Come here, Aidan.”
“…”
As he commanded, Aidan took one step, two steps closer. above and below the walls. The distance between them was only high and low. It was the moment when Veron was relieved that he had finally secured Aidan. Shut up! A surprise attack flew by.
“this.”
Aidan’s attack grazed Veron’s left forearm. Bright red blood oozes from the cut skin.
“Sorry.”
Of course, Aidan, who had lost his temper and thought he was following my orders, was laughing at himself. The smile disappeared from Veron’s face. Aidan was the property of the Devlin royal family. Therefore, there was no way he could go against the will of Devlin’s bloodline. However, through Aidan’s actions over the years, Veron was able to know one thing. There was an exception.
‘Mabel Gardenia Ermano.’
that naughty bitch. Ever since he defected to Ermano, where the little girl was, Aidan escaped Veron’s control. Some of the restrictions were released, but far from hearing the news of the runaway, they raided Devlin’s border and even gave Ermano land on the border. The indignant Veron soon changed his mind. It is soon that Aidan is fine with his orders.
‘It must mean that bitch is not far away.’
Veron smiled and secretly called an aide.
“The emperor of Ermano must be around here. find it.”
“Yes, Your Majesty!”
Immediately, a search party was formed and began searching all over Devlin City. Before long, a report came in from Veron.
“A woman tried to infiltrate the western wall and is on the run.”
“A woman…”
Veron felt a strange sense of incongruity. Strangely enough, the situation fit perfectly. Aidan, who stormed the imperial castle at dawn when his attention was scattered, and the emperor of Ermano, who appeared right after. Breaking his contemplation, the aide asked.
“Should I capture him alive?”
“Until I dare to capture them alive.”
“I follow Your Majesty’s orders. I will hand it over to the search party.”
Suddenly, imagining Esteban crying out for the loss of a child whom he cherished more than his own life made me feel better. Aidan looked at the sight and sent black energy again.
‘I have to make the most of my time.’
***
‘It’s been a while, this feeling.’
I surrendered to the sensation of a strong wind hitting my whole body. The first thing I assimilated was an eagle gliding across the vast sky. As I circled the top of the Devlin Imperial Castle, I could see at a glance how the situation was going.
‘Most of the troops are on the side of the main gate where Aidan is. Enrique is still there.’
Everything was as planned. The sight went round and round, and the next thing that was assimilated was the squeak of the Hwangseong Forest.
[Shoot.]
‘Please take good care of me.’
[Squeak!]
According to my will, Squeak began diligently running to Veron’s laboratory in the east. He finally stood in front of the black barrier, avoiding the servants of the imperial castle who were busy walking around.
‘I can’t just pass through.’
The opportunity came unexpectedly quickly. Veron and his aide had escaped the barrier. I succeeded in infiltrating the laboratory building by taking advantage of the opening of the barrier.
‘it’s okay!’
It is safe to say that about half of the operation was successful. The key was how quickly I found Veron’s lab in this large building. I didn’t have much time, but I suppressed my nervousness and started the search step by step.
‘Not in this room.’
‘It’s not even this room.’
The body of the Velcro was comfortable for infiltration, but it was not so easy for search. If the door wasn’t open, navigation would be impossible. I was about to go up the stairs after examining the entire floor when I ran into a servant coming down.
“Ahh. mouse!”
[Shoot!!]
Shocked by that shout, the jikki escaped from my control and started to run away. It was so fast that even my eyes were spinning. When I came to my senses after a while, it was after I had set foot in an unfamiliar place.
‘phew. thank god.’
I almost got caught. I let out a sigh of relief and then looked around carefully. I didn’t know how many floors I had climbed, but for some reason, it was a hallway where I couldn’t feel the traces of people’s hands. Also, what was unusual was that there was only one door at the end of the hallway. The door was just slightly open. Entering it as if drawn, I found objects scattered about in a mess.
‘It’s dirty.’
Then, suddenly realizing that the footsteps were hectic, I looked down. At first I thought it was graffiti, but it wasn’t graffiti.
‘The magic circle…?’
The entire floor of the vast space was made up of magic circles. I was sure This must be Veron’s laboratory.
‘Shoot it. Please drop all the books on that bookshelf to the floor.’
[Okay, take a picture.]
At my request, the Velcro climber climbed up the bookshelf and started dropping the books on the bookshelf to the floor one by one. Amongst the more messy things, I started researching the data.
‘Neither this nor that…’
I became more and more nervous as I couldn’t find the information I was looking for. Unable to know the situation outside, the anxiety grew out of control. Then, suddenly, I remembered what Aidan said when he first told me about the past.
“Veron is a suspicious person, so we came to the idea of putting important data in the circle of his life. So I opened the drawer of the study desk.”
‘okay. They said drawers!’
Velcro went up on the desk as I requested. It wasn’t easy to open the drawer with the body of a mouse, but I managed to do it somehow. There was indeed a book written in the ancient Devlin language.
‘I studied for this day. Devlin Archaic.’
It was impossible to get the book out of the drawer, so I had to read it in it. [Julius III acquired ‘it’. After naming ‘it’ ‘Aidan’, he took full possession of it with a ban on the cost of the lives of a thousand sinners.] The sentence he had heard from Aidan was written exactly as it was. I opened the front page. He quickly interpreted the densely written Devlin ancient language. Of course, the interpretation was not smooth in many ways. [The moment I faced ‘it’, many people’s eyes were blinded. ‘It’ was not human.]
‘What the hell is that?’
Turning to the next page, I finally found it. [‘That’ is right-.] The moment I read that sentence, the door to the drawer was closed.
‘…!’
I reflexively tried to release the assimilation power, but failed.
