Episode 714: The Day of Prophecy (1)
The Rescue Committee punished all the aristocrats who behaved indecently in the Great War.
Even after severe torture, there was no evidence because he was restored with an expensive potion.
In addition, there is no worry that his identity will be revealed because he is wearing a mask and a night gown.
It seems that the enraged nobles hired the Assassins Guild and the Information Guild to search for them overnight, but of course, there was no way they could be caught without any information.
Thanks to this, the Assassins Guild and the Information Guild were scattered all over the place outside the castle.
Soyoung, who had received a lot of snacks from the lady-in-waiting, asked while eating snacks.
“What are you going to do now?”
“…I have to wait in the royal castle.”
Zeke seemed to agree with Hongyoung’s words.
“What, if I try to move here, the road will only get twisted?”
“huh. That’s right. No matter what happens, the saint will come back.”
They said lightly, not knowing the details of the Gleiman royal family.
Currently, the Heukbang and the Demonic Cult were severely divided.
And it’s a pretty sensitive issue even for the royal family.
Aristocrats who were on good terms with the Demonic Church are stepping up to form an army to support the Demonic Church, and the nobles who oppose it are in a confrontation with a fierce opposition.
No matter how much the king had been appointed as a substitute, it was not a situation that a foreigner, Ray, could intervene and resolve.
The receiving committee, which did not know such a reality, was peaceful under heaven.
“I’ll be gathering information that might be useful in the neighborhood.”
“Then everyone scatters. Let’s meet again in the evening.”
Hongyoung nodded at Heukyoung’s words.
“Let it be.”
As soon as her permission was given, the new type of receptionists disappeared in an instant.
The only people left now were Zeke and Hongyoung.
Zeke, who was scratching the back of his head, asked her.
“What are you going to do?”
“I will wait for everyone to come back.”
It is an answer without hesitation.
“Why don’t you do whatever you want sometimes?”
She shook her head at him.
“I am the center of reception. We have to be prepared for emergencies.”
“Hey, with all our strength, the decent Knights of the Kingdom are no match. There’s no way you wouldn’t be able to prepare for an emergency, right?”
“…”
I heard and saw that.
A swordsman who goes beyond being a sword master and pioneers his own realm.
And there are seven high-level Assassins who handle Aura freely.
It was no task to overthrow even a small kingdom if you set your mind to it.
Hongyoung was worried.
“But what should I do…”
“First of all, why don’t you wander around as you please? You might find something to your liking.”
Although it seemed irresponsible at first glance, she readily agreed.
“all right. Then let’s meet in the evening.”
“okay.”
say hello a little
The last two remaining people also left the castle.
* * *
Jerking away –
Hongyoung, who was leaving the road alone, tilted her head at the strange pounding.
‘A strange feeling.’
Even though I am just walking, I am confident that I am excited.
He frowned in the sunlight, but the corners of his mouth were slightly raised.
When I left the castle and went down to the village, I saw a scene full of activity in the huge plaza.
Guards patrolling flirting with stalls selling various fruits.
Even adventurers who receive a request from a nearby adventurer’s guild and seek a party.
The bard’s song softly heard from afar tickled his ears, and he seemed to feel better as well.
‘It would have been nice if So-Young was here too.’
She likes noisy places, so if she sees the current scenery, she will surely be delighted.
As I walked down the street in light clothes that I wouldn’t normally wear, several people started talking to me.
“Pretty girl! Get me an apple!”
“…yes?”
“Sleep without reservations.”
An impressive stall selling fruit handed over an apple.
Isn’t it a smile when he suddenly accepts it?
“Seeing her smile made me feel better. For some reason, business seems to be going well today. ha ha ha.”
At the merchant’s words, Hongyoung touched her face.
As he said, a soft smile formed on his lips.
‘I… must have been laughing.’
why were you laughing
without even knowing why.
she nodded goodbye.
“thank you.”
warms the heart
It felt as if a small amount of warmth was emanating from the cold hands that had killed so many people in the past.
However, in the corner of her heart, she had the confidence to reject the favor.
If you have feelings, hesitation will be at the tip of a knife.
Therefore, the reception committee had to become a weapon that could think but not feel.
‘I’m grateful though.’
When Hong-young tries to throw away the apples around the alley selling fruit.
Suddenly, someone’s voice came to mind.
– Don’t be crooked. You are a human being before you are a receptionist. From now on, let’s live by helping each other.
Their owner and the first person to tell them to live their own life and not live for someone else.
At that voice, Hongyoung grabbed the apple she was about to throw away.
The leader of the three family reception committee under the command of the saint.
Little by little, her own life was emerging.
* * *
A group of black figures made their way through the grass.
Even though they were running at a fair speed, they didn’t make a single sound.
The man at the forefront opened his mouth.
“What happened to the seventy-three?”
“No news. The report that should have been posted in the evening has not been delivered.”
At the messenger’s reply, the man stroked his chin.
“Ugh. There’s no way I’d have neglected the report without them going crazy… I guess I got hit.”
At his words, the messenger said in a slightly surprised tone.
“I don’t know if it’s ninety days, but seventy-three is strong. Wouldn’t even a king like this be beaten in a corner?”
“It must have been a hidden ambush. No matter how strong he is than ninety days, he is also seventy in the end. If the royal castle had even sent a team of knights, it would be unreasonable to face them head-on, even if they were seventy-three.”
“Certainly it is.”
“You guys be careful too. If you don’t want to be dog-death like seventy-three and ninety-one.”
He said it as if he were giving advice, but there was no sign of concern on the man’s face.
No, on the contrary, he is twisting the corner of his mouth.
the herald asked.
“…How do I do this? Would you mind posting a report?”
“no.”
The man shook his head.
“It was just about time. We kill the priest by ourselves and go back.”
“But if you act as you please…”
“The upper management is also in a situation where the Demonic Church is regarded as a thorn in the eye. I don’t know if this will lead to a reward. Hehehe.”
“Oh, I see. Thoughts were short. Then, we’ll get rid of the remaining branches and go back.”
Those who left the royal road changed direction.
The messenger still did not know.
The people who followed the man sighed and thought.
‘It’s a start again.’
‘They’re the ones who killed the seventy-three and the ninety-one, so it’s not sewage. It’s an idea to compete for supremacy.’
‘I must be tired again today.’
Only the messenger was unaware of it, but the man was actually a born combat fanatic.
It can be said to be a perversion that kills opponents on the battlefield and drinks their blood to satisfy their desires instead.
However, no one could say anything to him face to face.
He is a person who has risen to the position of fifty-nine with his outstanding talent and cruel temper.
Fifty-nine ran his tongue over his lips.
‘It’s been a while since I’ve met people who have a taste for dealing with them.’
After the number was set, it was no longer possible to compete with those in the black room except on specific days.
For him, whose only pleasure in life was confrontation with the strong, the measures taken in the black room were like torture.
Three years to spend empty days.
As soon as they developed their skills, the Heukbang began to send themselves to the battlefield.
For fifty-nine, it felt like facing an oasis in the desert.
The pleasure of suppressing and trampling on an opponent with the power accumulated so far.
The joy that comes from destroying a person’s life did not let him go.
he exclaimed.
“They might have run away! Hurry up!”
He groaned and sped up.
At the same time, the figures who followed died.
Climbing mountains and crossing valleys, they finally reached the outskirts of the capital.
Woo-woo-!
Coming out of the dark forest, they had no choice but to stiffen as they saw the center where they could feel the tremendous waves.
Not only the messenger, but also the other figures, including fifty-nine, stopped with their mouths open.
“That’s…”
“…what the hell is that.”
Fifty-nine stared at the front as if it were dumbfounded.
Even though it was evening, the place they looked at was as bright as broad daylight.
White spheres float in the sky, and the light bursting from them illuminates the town.
They weren’t the only ones perplexed.
The people of the capital are staring blankly at the sky in bewilderment, and even the guards are confused about whether or not they are enemies.
The quick-witted merchants were doing business on a small scale, laying down stalls.
“The skewers are cheap!”
“Should I miss this rare sight? Eat some fruit and watch!”
One by one, the merchants raised their voices and engaged in solicitation.
People say that when people are too surprised, words don’t come out well, so I guess that’s true.
Fifty-nine also stood still, at a loss for words, and watched the spherical group of lights.
said the herald.
“I’m not sure, but that sounds like magic.”
Then all eyes turned to the messenger.
“Magic? Magic?”
“How can a person use such magic?”
“Maybe not even a person.”
“Does that make sense?”
The messenger cleared his throat and added, as if he was embarrassed to say it himself.
“It’s just my opinion.”
“….”
“….”
Only then did the figures shut their mouths.
One question still lingered.
Fifty-nine said ‘huh’ with a sigh.
“Then what does that mean?”
Luminous spheres floating high in the sky.
At first glance, it seems that the moon has come closer today.
For a while, he even forgot about the idea of attacking the shrine of the Demonic Cult.
The figures in the black room stared blankly at the sphere.
