Episode 142
“Here, Hero.”
I followed Cariaman’s guidance and crossed the gate of the fort.
There were no mercenaries to catch us, probably because the vice-captain had said something beforehand.
“You’re a warrior… …”
“Huh, of course…I could feel the eyes of the
condor mercenaries looking at us.
Of course, those eyes were focused on me.
A hero is a celebrity that is harder to see than that ‘master’.
of course.
‘It’s not like he’s focusing on me simply for that reason.’
I didn’t know anything, and I just blindly believed in Caria.
Same goes for other couples.
It seemed that he hadn’t even thought about the idea that this place had already been halfway down to the devil’s den.
‘Sir Mylas.’
It should be somewhere in this fort.
In the first place, from their point of view, it would be a burden to have someone like Sir Mylus outside the condor.
‘…In order to erode a person of that level, it would be necessary to apply close and continuous pressure.’
Anyway, the important thing is that he is somewhere in this fortress.
“How are you?”
“Ah yes. surely…The prearranged conversation continues with Kariaman .
Even so, he looked inside the mercenary corps.
The gaze of the mercenaries, which he had felt before, was quite complicated.
It’s not just feelings like envy or awe of seeing a famous warrior in person.
Among them, the eyes of those who couldn’t stand my instincts, such as hostility and hatred, were also mixed.
Also, the number is not small.
They are so cleverly mixed that it would not be easy to cut them out one by one.
[…] …I don’t want to be here.]
Set frowned and waved his hands around.
It’s a natural reaction.
Enoch’s demonic energy was thickly permeated everywhere.
[It’s terrible. There are traces of forcibly twisted and broken children who were able to go on the right path.]
‘… …I guess so.’
There will be no one who will refuse to attach a name.
It was a simple condor tradition to name it until it degenerated.
but after being deformed.
Numerous mercenary members were forcibly twisted in their souls at the one thing they were ‘naming’.
Erosion is something that takes place only when the person’s consent is a premise.
In that respect, the condor tradition was naturally an excellent means to erode the innocent.
Truly suppression of freedom.
The freedom of the soul was robbed without even knowing it.
It couldn’t have been that terrible.
[I think we need to solve this quickly. this situation… …To be honest, it’s not strange when it explodes.]
Set was right.
A powder keg that wouldn’t be strange if it exploded at any time. That’s the condor now.
Following Kariaman’s guidance, we headed to the vice-captain’s office.
The vice-captain’s office was located at the top of the highest point in the castle.
‘There’s no one around here.’
The road to the place where the vice-captain’s office was located was quite long.
But in the process, I didn’t feel a single sign of a person.
“Vice-captain Condor, you’re a bit unusual even after filtering out everything else?”
“…I heard that I am a person with a little obsessive compulsive disorder in this way, but it is severe.”
Eileen replied to Lian’s words.
Cariaman said with a bitter smile.
“The vice-captain’s obsession was famous. I wondered if there was something else wrong in the past.”
“It was because of the devil.”
I replied carelessly.
There was no need to check further as evidence was scattered around.
the butler asked me
“What are you going to do?”
“What do you do? Nothing really changes. To catch the culprit and save the captive leader. That’s it.”
Saying that, I looked up at the vice-captain’s office up there.
“It’s enough for me and Cariaman-sama to talk to the vice-captain. therefore…Do you know roughly?”
“Okay, check it out. without being noticed. Can’t you come back here in time?”
“yes.”
At my words, Lian smiled and moved first. Almost at the same time, the others disappeared as well.
Except for one Caria.
I headed to the vice-captain’s office with him.
While walking with him, Kariaman cautiously called me.
“By the way, warrior.”
“You say yes.”
Cariaman hesitated for a moment, then asked in a low voice.
“That vice-captain. Is it possible that he was simply brainwashed by demons? Regardless of your will… …”
“No.”
An answer you don’t have to worry about.
The fact that the vice-captain was deeply involved with Enoch was already said by Cariaman himself.
Besides, he even used the expression ‘betrayal’.
“I understand that you don’t want to believe that the vice-captain has completely defected. However, it is a fact that cannot be denied that all of this is the vice-captain’s responsibility.”
“…Indeed, it is.”
Cariaman’s position toward the vice-captain was quite complicated.
The vice-captain is clearly a traitor to the mercenaries and the culprit behind the evil, but… ….
‘He was also the benefactor who saved him from the rat with Sir Mylus.’
Now that I’ve come this far, that past doesn’t mean much.
“I don’t need any other emotions. Cariaman-nim, stick to the present.”
“All right.”
The conflict that passed by was short-lived.
In fact, I would have sorted out my emotions almost immediately.
All that remains is very little remnant.
It’s only about enough to be able to shake it off with the conversation I just had.
Yes, the result has already been determined.
‘Vice-captain Kier.’
other people don’t know
However, one thing is clear: there is no room for relief, at least for interest.
* * *
“Welcome.”
When I entered the room, pure white light filled my eyes.
The vice-captain’s room was filled with light.
As if shouting with his whole body that he had nothing to do with the devil.
“under.”
It was so blatant that I couldn’t help but laugh.
“…Warrior?”
“Ah no. just a little… …The light is bright, so it sounds like bullshit.”
I said that and looked at the vice-captain.
Dark black shadows were cast under the eyes, and the pupils were also dead black.
I don’t know who else.
At least in my eyes, this vice-captain Kier was already dead.
As soon as we sat down, he got straight to the point.
“So why did the hero come all the way here?”
“There was a revelation.”
“Hmm, are you talking about revelation?”
The vice-captain’s eyes narrowed.
His eyes didn’t stray from mine, as if he was sure to check my thoughts.
He winked at Cariaman, who was right behind him.
“Could you stay outside for a while?”
“All right.”
Cariaman lowered his head and immediately left the room.
There were only the two of us left in the room, the vice-captain.
“If you don’t mind, can I hear what kind of revelation it is?”
“There is nothing difficult about that. Previously…”
I asked him.
“Where is Sir Mylus, the captain, now? This is an agenda I want to deliver directly to him.”
“…He is absent for a while. If you tell me first, I will deliver it myself.”
“Because I am absent…I
touched the corner of my mouth with a deliberately serious expression.
The vice-captain reacted to my words.
“important…Is it work?”
“Yes, it is important. because you are Especially since it’s directly related to the captain, it’s shocking.”
“If it is a direct revelation…Rather, I, as a family member, need to know more.”
At those words, I opened my eyes wide as if I had known for the first time and asked.
“If it’s the Heo family… …?”
“Yeah, Sir Mylus, the current leader, is my older brother.”
“Ah, that’s right.”
Of course I know.
Before coming all the way here, I had checked all the information about the mercenaries from Kariaman.
real brother.
It is said that at one time the two were more friendly than anyone else.
In the first place, that’s why we made this kind of mercenary together.
‘Well, that doesn’t make any sense.’
I looked at the state of the vice-captain in front of me.
In terms of swordsmanship, he was not as good as his older brother Sir Mylus, but he still had the status of a master right in front of him.
If you borrow Enoch’s power… ….
‘I’ll go up to the master.’
It might not be an ordinary master, but a being that even Milium would not be easy to deal with.
Anyway.
[I checked Mikhail.]
Tuk-tuk.
I answered Seth’s words by knocking on the table.
“First of all, do you not know exactly where Sir Mylus is?”
“Unfortunately, yes.”
The vice-captain lowered his head with a sad expression.
An obvious fake.
He nodded his head, holding back his cynicism.
“great. Well, if Lord Mylus isn’t there, it’s only right to pass on the revelation to the vice-captain.”
“Haha thank you.”
Of course, I have no intention of giving the ‘revelation’ that the defector wants.
“Revelation is simple. It’s nothing special, but a huge hawk was picking the fluff.”
“…yes?”
“After being shaken off, they flew high into the sky. It must have taken off all the useless feathers.”
At my words, the vice-captain’s face hardened.
Without thinking deeply, he would have known that the ‘revelation’ I was talking about was completely different from what he thought.
“What is that…“
I don’t know. Doesn’t God speak very vaguely about the future? It’s all up to interpretation.”
“under.”
At those words, the vice-captain’s eyes twitched.
However, he responded with a soft smile.
“…It’s up to interpretation. Well, what the warrior said is right.”
Of course, there was a coldness hidden in those eyes.
“It’s not like you don’t know who the feather will be.”
“Iknow, right.”
I too laughed at him.
Which side will be the ‘fine hair’ that the eagle brushed off?
The conversation with the vice-captain was over.
That was enough.
* * *
After leaving the vice-captain’s office, I went to a secluded place and immediately called everyone together.
“So what are the results?”
“I hid everything cleverly, but I noticed that there are demonic marks all over the place.”
said the butler.
“Should I call it mind control? specific conditions… …So, it was a mark that seemed to affect those to whom it was named.”
“We also checked places with a lot of people deployed. For now, I guess that Sir Mylus is over there.”
Milium spoke again.
“I thought about approaching it once, but I stopped. It was hard to guess right away what kind of clever trick they might have played.”
“You made a wise decision.”
It’s a fact I was convinced of through the conversation with the former vice-captain, but the vice-captain ‘surely’ holds the lifeline to Sir Mylus.
To the point where he could easily decapitate Sir Mylus from anywhere.
When I said that, everyone’s faces hardened.
“…Do that to your brother.”
“It’s ruthless.”
A sigh from everyone’s mouth.
I waited a while and told everyone.
“I have good news and bad news, which one do you want to hear first?”
“…From the good news?”
I immediately responded to Ryan’s words.
“During my conversation with the vice-captain, I traced back the vice-captain’s mischief and roughly identified the place where Sir Mylas was imprisoned.”
“What’s the best? Then what’s the bad news?”
“Nothing’s wrong.”
bad news.
The old sage said.
The one who laughs when it’s hard is first class.
“Anyway, Enoch could come all the way here himself if he’s unlucky?”
“…huh?”
Silence fell in the middle.
and after a while
“What the fuck?”
The reaction of Lian, who did not become a first-class player, was truly mediocre.
Great mage who transcends by regression
