Chapter 380. How to face fate (2)
“It’s easy.”
It’s really easy.
In hindsight, it’s not that hard to come up with.
Thinking so, Lloyd grinned.
Xaviel and Sir Geolexius looked at him.
He raised one eyebrow at both of them.
“what. why. what. Why do they both look like that?”
“Because I was curious and worried about what crazy things he was going to do this time.”
Xaviel answered as if he had been waiting.
The silver-haired knight continued.
“But I don’t care if it’s crazy right now, so I guess there has to be a good countermeasure. I didn’t know that the black magician Lloyd-sama and I dealt with back then would be such a nuisance.”
“I know. I didn’t even know that he would use the King of Hell as his backing.”
“Then what is the easy way?”
“There is such a thing. You’ll understand once you get things settled here and go back to the manor. So Geo-Lek…Isn’t that Lexi?”
– Yes sir.
A Hell Knight who answers the call.
Lloyd asked him.
“First of all, we have to remove some barriers. I’ve been holding on to it since a while ago, but this is subtly biased. So, can you get rid of this barrier?”
– Of course, sir.
“Then get rid of it.”
– I will follow your orders.
It was the moment when Sir Geolexius nodded.
…hook?
It’s like a gas burner that has run out of butane gas.
Or, like the screen of a mobile phone that has been drained of battery, it goes dark.
The magic barrier built around the city disappeared in one cue.
It was such a simple process.
Big orders too.
Even evil witchcraft.
It didn’t even need a fancy move.
Lloyd’s head tilted to one side.
“hey?”
– Yes sir.
“What is so simple?”
– Originally a simple process.
“okay?”
– yes. Rather than removing the barrier, it is the concept of canceling the activation.
“Then why did you do it now when you can cancel the activation so easily?”
– That’s because the lord didn’t order it separately….
“really?”
– It really is, my lord.
“Actually, wasn’t it because it was convenient to activate that barrier?
– ….
“Wow, in case someone isn’t Satan’s friend, Hell Knight, you’ve been lying since the first day of work.”
– I’m not lying!
“Really?”
– Yes sir.
“Then, if you want, can you raise that magic barrier again?”
– That’s not it, sir. The barrier requires meticulous preparation every time it is activated.
“Then I’m glad.”
Lloyd shrugged and gestured to Xaviel and Sir Geolexius.
“Then let’s go, because there are many things to do.”
So, I took the two of them and left the public hall.
I left the city and went to a makeshift camp under a cliff.
Even at midnight, the camp was crowded.
numerous citizens.
No matter how high or low your status is or how small your wealth is.
You and I were all buzzing outside the makeshift tent.
It was like that too.
‘Because the magic barrier surged around Namaran and just disappeared.’
It must have been a splendid and overwhelming sight.
On the one hand, it must have been a scary and mysterious look.
Lloyd passed through a crowd of mumbling and whispering citizens.
Fortunately (?) No one paid attention to this side, thanks to both this side and Sir Xaviel Geolexius all wearing hoods.
So I went into Count Namaran’s makeshift tent.
“You have arrived safely.”
As soon as he saw this, Count Namara jumped up.
Then, when she sees Hell Knight walking in the hood, her shoulders stiffen.
Lloyd swallowed a bitter laugh and said quickly.
“it’s okay. Our Hell Knight doesn’t ask…No, it’s safe.”
“Is it safe?”
“yes. You just signed an employment contract with me and agreed to work for me.”
“….”
“You don’t have to look at me with such strange eyes. Hmmm! Well, anyway, things went well. You must have seen the barriers appear and then disappear.”
“Yes, I saw it. So, are both of you injured?”
“yes. Thanks for your concern.”
Lloyd grinned.
and said
“The wall thing worked out well. There will be no similar situation in the future. So you can safely let the citizens go home. And by the way, I think I need to go back to the Frontera estate right now.”
“The Frontera Territory? now?”
“yes. It’s difficult to go into detail.”
Lloyd swallowed a bitter laugh and said.
Count Namaran asked as if he knew what was going on here.
“If the facility supporting the slope is in a situation where it is quite damaged and you are going to return without fixing it…It seems that something urgent and big has happened there?”
“Yes, sooner or later. I would like to make a promise.”
“What if it’s a promise?”
“After finishing the work in the manor, I will definitely come back and do the repair work.”
“Is it free?”
“It can’t be.”
“also. I knew it would.”
“also. The world is like that.”
Lloyd smiled and added a few words of advice.
I’m sorry for leaving so quickly now.
Fortunately, however, there are still quite a few intact stakes and anchors left.
As long as there is no additional large impact on the slope, the collapse will not proceed further.
So, for the time being, I think you can live in peace.
He said he would be back before the collapse started again.
I asked and promised Count Namaran.
And immediately left the camp.
I got on the Yongyong that was waiting nearby.
However, as soon as Yongyong saw Hell Knight, he started dancing.
It waggled its tail like a big puppy meeting a good friend.
“Why is he like that?”
Lloyd, who couldn’t see it, asked.
Hellknight Sir Geolexius shrugged his shoulder blades.
– You are warmly welcoming me.
“you? why? Did you know each other before?”
– That’s not it.
“then?”
– Uh…Thanks to me, I can finally escape from being the youngest member of the Goal Guard….
“aha.”
Now that I see it, our Sir Lexy suddenly became a recruit.
Hellnitra, the youngest member of the Goal Guard.
Lloyd held back the laughter that was about to leak out and climbed onto the top of Yongyong’s head.
Xaviel, who was seated next to him, asked.
“But Lloyd. There are other things that I am curious about and worried about.”
“huh? What.”
“The culprit who caused this barrier crisis. Aren’t you going to catch me?”
“Oh that?”
Lloyd raised an eyebrow.
He said, thinking that it was natural for Xaviel to be curious.
“You don’t have to catch it. Because there was no such thing as a criminal in the first place.”
“yes?”
“No. criminal.”
“then…Who the hell planted magic in the stake?”
“The Phenomenon of Restoration of Fate.”
“….”
Xaviel shuts up.
I looked back at him and said.
“The scattered mana was united by the restoration of destiny. in which place? In the place where I unearthed the Noctanium gem during the first Wall Crisis.”
“Does that mean that the strong stake near the place where the jewel was buried had magical powers?”
“uh. Exactly.”
Lloyd nodded.
It was an almost accurate summary.
It was also the information he confirmed through the appearance in the ending spoiler where he was killed by the Hell Knight.
“So there is no need for the mana to unite again. There won’t even be a situation where a barrier arises. Because this guy is alive and well.”
Lloyd pointed at Sir Geolexius with a wink.
Hell Knight nodded.
– You’re right. In the first place, that barrier was meant to awaken and summon me. Now that it has served its purpose, it will never be recreated.
“Did you hear?”
Receiving Hell Knight’s words, Lloyd shrugged.
Xaviel nodded slowly.
“but. I guess that’s what I heard.”
“Yeah, that’s it.”
It really is.
That’s what the restoration of fate is like.
An incident that should have happened like in the original work, but was canceled by this side.
It was a characteristic of the restoration phenomenon of fate that it was reproduced in a similar form here.
But now?
Hell Knight didn’t die.
Regardless of whether he became a subordinate of this side or not, he is alive and well.
That, Lloyd thought, was the most important.
‘of course. A magical barrier created in Namaran. It’s just a magic power supply device to wake up and summon the Hell Knight Geolexius. But now? The hell knight you summoned like that didn’t die. The role of the barrier has been completed.’
So what if Geolexius continues to operate normally?
At least in the meantime, the barrier won’t be recreated.
That’s how safe Namaran is.
‘That’s why I didn’t kill him.’
To keep alive and roll.
That’s how you make it a subordinate of this side.
That was the ultimate goal I wanted to achieve while solving this case.
‘Anyway, whoa. The goal is achieved.’
Lloyd let out a deep breath.
Will I be able to do it like this in the future?
On the one hand, I am afraid and anxious.
On the other hand, I thought it was worth a try.
“So, let’s go to the territory first!”
Kwaaang-!
A dragon flying off the ground.
That’s how we left Namaran.
It flew through the night.
The dawn of Dongcheon soon dawned.
I returned to the territory through the morning fog at the foot of the mountain.
After arriving at the manor, Lloyd headed straight for the mansion.
However, the first target he visited was not the Countess and the Frontera couple.
“Hey, Dragon King? Are you there?”
smart?
He timidly knocked on the guest room door.
I pricked my ears and checked the signs inside.
But there was no sound or response.
‘also. Sleep.’
I can’t hear a single breath
Even though this one has the hearing of a sword master.
‘As expected, Dragon King Berkis. He’s the strongest sleeper I know.’
If you sleep so deeply, you won’t even hear the sound of your breathing.
Perhaps, only in the field of sleep, he has reached the level of fame.
Thinking so, Lloyd gently turned the doorknob.
Fortunately, the door was not locked.
‘good.’
I will sneak inside.
I will respectfully awaken the dragon king Berkis.
As much as possible without touching his temper.
Throwing a proposal that makes him attractive.
I’ll make that jamtang join the battle as a reinforcement for this side.
‘If that’s the case, the invasion of the Hell Corps? It’s an easy fix. No matter how strong the army of hell is, it will be no more than chewing gum to the dragon king Berkis.’
If the dragon king
If it’s that overwhelming power.
Perhaps even with the King of Hell, he might be able to compete for supremacy.
Lloyd thought so. I was sure Expected. desperately wanted With a sincere wish, he cast a peek into the guest room.
And I was bewildered.
‘uh?’
There was no
The Dragon King Berkis was nowhere to be seen in the guest room.
‘what? Could it be that he used magic?’
Could it be that she even hid her appearance and presence with invisibility magic for a more perfect sleep?
With that thought in mind, I quickly mobilized a shrewd mental method.
I turned all three circles.
He searched without missing the flow of mana around him.
didn’t feel the same.
‘doesn’t exist.’
Not a single breath of Berkis or even a trace of mana could be detected.
It was very embarrassing.
It was an unexpected situation.
‘Dragon King Berkis, he’s a sleeper who doesn’t bother tossing and turning while sleeping. But you left your bed and went somewhere? Does this make sense?’
Unless there is some strong motive.
It was something that was thought to be impossible to happen.
However, I saw an object proving that it was a true story (?).
It was a small note on the table next to the bed.
“….”
Lloyd picked up the note.
The contents of the note were too simple to be simple.
[go. ch j.]
“….”
At first I thought it was some kind of password.
But when I looked, it wasn’t.
‘I hope this…persimmon? find die? So this is me. Kill if found? Is that so?’
It seemed that the meaning was right.
Even as I write this short sentence.
I’m tired of writing just a few more letters.
Judging by the fact that he left a message like this.
‘That’s the note left by the Dragon King Berkis. That’s right. that you’re leaving If they come and bother you, they’ll kill you.’
Unknowingly, I laughed out loud.
On the one hand, I thought it was a waste.
‘Tsk. It’s a disaster that can be easily resolved with the support of the Dragon King Berkis.’
But it seemed like it was going through water.
It was because of the personality of Berkis, the Dragon King, that he had experienced and felt.
‘It’s basically arbitrary. I’m going to go to the middle of the day. That’s why I don’t listen to anyone other than my wife. Very selfish and impulsive. But that kind of guy dared to leave a note like this despite the annoyance?’
It should have been seen as a strong expression of will.
But what if you went to see him ignoring that expression of intention?
‘I’ll die. really.’
What is Yongwang Sponsorship Membership?
Very just one queue will fly.
The ugly hair will be stuck properly.
There may be a situation in which the dragon king dies before the hell king.
Lloyd, who had beaten the calculator up to that point, smiled bitterly.
‘…Whoa. The Dragon King’s support fire is gone for now.’
In fact, it was the most powerful card.
that’s gone
My appetite went sour.
But that wasn’t Lloyd to give up.
“If you say Lloyd-sama, what are you going to do now?”
“Well, I guess I’ll have to go with plan B.”
“Plan B…you mean?”
“uh.”
Lloyd nodded.
I turned to Xaviel, who was looking this way with a furrowed brow.
As if it wasn’t time to make a fuss yet, he asked calmly.
“Have you ever showered with 2 billion liters of holy water?”
