Episode 723 God’s Witness (1)
Around the time Seventy-three died quietly.
Outside the temple, Klein and the royal knights were drooling.
“This is what the hell…”
“It seems like there was an attack.”
Bodies strewn about.
Seeing that he collapsed after being hit by memorization in an area that could be called a vital point, I wonder if he had a problem with the Assassin’s Guild.
“What should I do?”
“Mmmmm…”
Klein looked around at his son-in-law with a rather serious face.
‘It’s too sloppy.’
Looking at the ground splattered with blood and flesh, I could roughly imagine what the situation would be like.
Perhaps they engaged in a hand-to-hand combat.
Otherwise, there would be no way there would be such a crazy bloodstain.
A royal knight approached the corpse.
“…it doesn’t seem old.”
The corpse didn’t smell at all.
must have been dead not too long ago
Klein turned to the knights and gave instructions.
“There is no time to collect the body. We prioritize the safety of the priest.”
I don’t know what the heck happened, but if this number of people attacked the temple, there must be something.
Besides, the huge halo of light that had happened the day before.
I thought about it a few times, but it was too big to make with mana in a human body.
‘There’s no way I could make something like that by myself, no matter how much I’m a prince.’
The cluster of light emitted from the unknown sphere was quite bright and huge.
He moved his subordinate knights without knowing that the magic that terrorized the capital of Glaman overnight was only Circle 1 Light magic.
After finishing the maintenance at the entrance of the temple, they stepped forward.
rattle-!
The floor seemed to sink in an instant, but soon a memory flew from the back of the head.
“Huh!”
The young knight at the forefront sighed and swung his sword.
Kagaga River-!
My palms are all tingling at the formidable career of memorizing the sword.
he shouted behind him.
“Ma Mana has faded!”
From the moment he entered the temple, mana in his body was not responding well.
Because of that, when the memorization flew, the response was slow.
Klein exclaimed urgently.
“Keep in a three-man formation! Break through head-on!”
“yes!”
In an instant, the royal knights in formation moved into the temple.
Roaring-!
A fire bubbling up right in front of your eyes.
The electric shock penetrating the plate armor enchanted with protective magic was a nightmare itself.
The knights trembled at the terrible trap they were experiencing for the first time.
One thing that can be said fortunately is that they didn’t encounter many traps because they didn’t use the black room’s footwork.
It’s just that we run into each other once or twice.
However, that was enough to take out the spirits of the knights.
Paji Jiji-!
I was struck by lightning several times, and my whole body ached.
Klein took the lead and cleared the way.
“Stay close and follow me!”
“yes!”
“Follow the captain!”
Let’s deflect the flying memory and run through the hallways through the fog.
At some point, the traps stopped triggering.
‘Now is my chance!’
Klein sped up even more.
The royal knights went through the temple at a terrifying speed.
* * *
Belatedly, Ray noticed that the royal knights had arrived at the temple.
Wanting to be sorry, he quickly stopped using the magic tool.
It was difficult to stop a magic tool that once started to hold mana.
That’s why there was no choice but to break the magic tool that delivers mana on the way.
Puppy-!
The mana supply was cut off, so the trap wouldn’t activate.
not long after that
Royal knights in dazzling armor stormed into the cabinet.
Remedy-!
chuck-!
Forming formation in line, they surrounded the priestess, who had lost her soul.
The most welcome face I saw spoke to me.
“Meet His Majesty the Prince.”
Klein bowed lightly and said hello.
The priestess, who came to her senses for a moment, stuttered.
“You mean the late King His Majesty? This person must be the royal knight, Sir Clein…”
Klein glanced at Ray once, as if he knew what to expect from her reaction.
“I thought you didn’t know. This is the Majesty of Soleil, the ruler of the Principality of Soleil. Royal Knight Klein is my name. I apologize for belatedly.”
The things that had happened so far passed through the priestess’ mind like a kaleidoscope.
Munjeonbakdae in the temple.
From the way he spoke to his actions, there was no rudeness like this.
The white priestess fell to her knees at once.
“Meet His Majesty the late Prince. I don’t know how to apologize for the rudeness in the past… Please forgive me…”
“I will forgive you, so please stand up.”
Now that he’s used to drawing like this, Ray said quietly.
Hana Priestess saw that appearance as that of a king full of dignity.
She lowered her head even deeper and shouted again.
“Forgive me! I don’t care what happens, but even if it’s just the children here…”
Suddenly, all the children in the orphanage were executed.
Ray let out a sigh.
“Then I will forgive you.”
“Are you really me?”
“Who would I like to lie to in this situation?”
Looking around the crowd, the royal knights were already looking at him with bizarre eyes.
He must have thought of it as a diabolical tyrant who wanted to punish the priest for cheating on his identity.
When the royal knights openly changed their gaze, Ray was upset inside.
It’s not like I’m trying to like myself right now, so what the hell is this treatment?
Ray said as if he wanted to hear everything.
“Certainly, it seems that the Kingdom of Gleiman is a great power. A royal knight looking straight into the eyes of the king.”
I muttered, ‘I wonder if even the king knows about this situation’, and they looked down in fright.
Including King Greyman, the commander of the magic corps and the leader of the royal knights.
Among the royalist aristocrats, those who were happy with him were the only ones with power.
If Ray really made up his mind and said a word, the royal knights would not be held accountable.
In addition, considering the ability to produce magic tools, the deterioration of the relationship could lead to a painful mistake in the future.
Klein folded it up to his waist and apologized instead.
“I’m sorry. We will correct the discipline as soon as we return.”
“Make sure to hold on.”
“I will thoroughly trample it. Please let go of my anger.”
“great. And…”
Ray looked back at the three lying unconscious.
“Can I ask you guys?”
“Do not worry. They are the ones who attacked the capital. I will rule strictly with the laws of the kingdom.”
They say that, but in reality, they know that they will not be treated according to the law of the kingdom.
They’ll probably be taken to the interrogator as soon as they return.
Whether or not you blow the information, you will face a miserable end.
Thanks to the troops Klein led, the situation was somewhat settled.
Fifty-five and fifty-nine ninety-one were taken to the royal knights in custody.
The priestess, who survived safely, expressed her gratitude over and over again.
“I don’t know how to thank you… Thank you so much.”
“It’s not over yet. I don’t know if the others will come.”
“What should I do? This isn’t an ordeal given by God.”
She smiled slightly.
I guess I won’t listen even if I dry it.
Well, the priest said he couldn’t leave the temple and left the temple in a situation where his life might run away, so it’s natural.
“You’d better avoid it.”
“Thank you for your words, but it’s okay. There is no greater honor than to offer one’s life to God as a priest.”
The value of life is determined by yourself.
But even so, I think it would be foolish to accept an avoidable death.
Ray ordered the royal knights.
“I’ll take the priest along as well.”
“yes?”
“All right.”
Royal knights escorted (?) the priestess.
She was caught by the knights and almost dragged along.
“What are you doing! Let go now! You will receive the wrath of the gods…!”
I don’t buy anger for this kind of thing.
Even when she almost destroyed the Gehel region of the holy kingdom, Gaia closed her eyes and moved on.
It is, so to speak, an experience.
Ray spoke behind the priestess as she was being dragged away.
“Live for one more second and dedicate that time to God. Because even God will like it.”
While the royal knights get a wagon nearby and prepare to head to the royal capital.
Klein came over and spoke to me.
“How did you know?”
“What?”
“I mean they’re coming. There must have been branches of the Demonic Church in other regions.”
To that question, Ray smiled and replied.
“No matter how many places there are, they will all be destroyed. I only kept one of them.”
The black room is a terrible bastard.
As long as the order is given, no matter what happens, it must be completed.
Ray, who understood their characteristics, said it in that sense, but Klein took it in a completely different meaning.
‘How can you be so humble?’
Despite a request for military support from the kingdom, it was rejected.
If he had been greatly rejected once in the face of the Prince, he could have been ignorant, but he moved alone and finally stopped the attack.
Even so, when I humble myself, I respect him not just as a position, but as a person.
Klein cast a burdened glance.
“I will be sure to pass on this thanks.”
“Give the King some respect. Because I had a hard time making this.”
He spoke and tapped on the hallway wall.
surely.
For something that was created in a short period of time, it was difficult to break through.
Klein laughed haha, not knowing how much the black room had broken through before.
“By the way… what should I do with that?”
At the place he pointed to, there was a seventy-three sitting still with their eyes closed.
‘Should I take it with you?’ Ray shook his head at Klein, who was talking.
“Leave it.”
“But…”
“He’s already dead.”
“yes?”
Not knowing that Klein was disrespectful, he asked back as if he had heard it wrong.
He put his hand to Seventy-three’s nose.
no breath
There was no sign of popularity, so I did it in case, but I never thought it was really a corpse.
“…really dead. But how the heck…”
Outwardly there was no trauma.
In addition, if it is said that he died of internal injuries, it is normal that his expression must have been distorted due to pain.
However, the complexion of the seventy-three was calm.
‘It’s ridiculous that there isn’t a single bloodline.’
Klein asked, prepared to be rebuked.
“Do you dare to ask how you died?”
“I cut it with a sword.”
“Sword…”
If he was killed with a knife, the wounds should be visible.
Seventy-three had no noticeable sword scars on their appearance.
The only thing there is a little bit of scar on the outside of the clothes.
Klein looked closely at him and soon noticed something resembling hair hanging around his neck.
‘This…’
It wasn’t just hair or a string.
A scar made by a sword.
It’s hard to believe, but it was the mark of a neck cut.
