Chapter 51. You may say it’s puberty (4), but
a wizard’s faith is quite strong.
If a knight’s loyalty is something like one-sided affection for his master, the blind attitude of not having the slightest doubt about the other person is the magician’s faith in God.
In some ways, breaking their trust is close to impossible.
In order to betray your trust in someone, you have to convince yourself that that person was not in fact trustworthy, but doesn’t that create a contradiction in that the premise itself is a betrayal of your trust? Knights or ordinary people would not know what a problem it was or would easily ignore it, but this was not the case for wizards. The minds of those who live by perfectly proving the effect of cause cannot understand such contradictions.
however.
There was one great person who made the impossible possible in an instant.
“They say all the mothers in the world are strong… I guess she became our little boy’s mother and wrapped her cowardice in mithril.”
Of course, this refers to Kalian’s crazy behavior that is truly extraordinary.
I never felt so betrayed even when I saw frozen french fries. Even when I gave him two beers and saw his proud face saying that he actually drank four beers, or even when Coco pulled out her webbed beak from the pure white egg that had been incubating for nearly a month, I never changed my mind about believing in Arsene.
Ever since the day she crossed the border of Kyris to catch the barbarians and encountered a wizard with blue hair, Euria trusted Arsene.
There was no special reason for belief.
As if there was no particular reason to believe that morning would come.
“Or did you transport Gandaeng to another dimension by giving him flowers?”
The whole time she was talking to herself, the fluffy peer kept circling around Euria.
“I guess you got flowers.”
Rachel, who remained calm even with the peer who cooled her to her bones, answered. Only then did Euria stop talking to herself and nodded as she put the pier in her hand.
“Yes. For some reason, I gave him flowers that I didn’t get tired of, so I thought it was quite nice, but I didn’t know that he was a guy who got tired of living.”
“… Is there anything that isn’t boring at all?”
“If I go back and see your face, I’m afraid I’ll put you to sleep forever. Coco has grown quite a bit too.”
“Don’t be like that, just look at him. Even if he had been on alert, he wouldn’t have fallen asleep so quickly. It’s also our fault that he fell asleep right away after being relaxed. They say it was the prince who told him to do it, so what can we do?”
“Prince Calian probably just told us to stop the two of us from going anywhere. It’s obvious that the little boy let him sleep as he pleases.”
Euria smiled while saying these words and looked around for a moment.
‘I think there are some among the Secretia nobles who are targeting my brother, so I’m thinking of going out with my brother for a while.’
‘Are you saying that you are targeting Prince Calian, not Prince Planz?’
‘My brother.’
‘Ah… I’m sorry. I told you this because I am not someone you would easily consider an attack target. Do you have any idea why Secretia is trying to attack Prince Calian? The wizards here were showing a friendly attitude towards Prince Calian.’
‘Because of his public relations personality.’
‘yes?’
There was only one reason to take the risk and target Calian.
In the eyes of the Secretian nobles, it would have seemed easier to join hands with Planz than Calian. Because it would have seemed like Plantz had lost a lot to Kalian.
Even Evan, whom Plants held hands with until the end, was cut off by Calian, and Gray, who had met Randel several times at the time, took over from Brisen. Therefore, to others, it would only have appeared that Calian had completely taken away the power of ‘Brisen’ from Plantz.
In contrast, even if Calian did not join hands with the nobles of Secretia, his position as crown prince was confirmed anyway. To them, Kalian is a useless card.
Allen, who cares so much about Calian, has rarely gone out of his way to help Calian externally. Therefore, there would have been no worries at all about Alan, who ‘did not take much revenge even after losing his own son.’
In addition, it was not known to the outside world that on the day Calian came here, he covered Chase with a cloak and declared war on Devlan. Rather, what was known was that Devlan had taken Calian out of the breakfast that Chase had invited. It was known that Chase met Plantz several times at the Kyris palace, but the details of how he helped Calian in Kyris were not made public even to the nobles.
Therefore, in the eyes of the nobles of Secretia, a strange picture was drawn between Devlan, Calian Chase, and Plantz.
‘It seems like the Secretia nobles have come up with a plan to drive out Devlan without blood on their hands.’
‘Are you saying you are trying to use Kairis’ power? Instead of getting rid of Prince Calian, I plan to drive out Devlan with the full force of Kairis.’
‘maybe.’
‘Ha… First of all, I understand. However, if there was anyone in Secretia who could harm Prince Calian, it would be Lord Castrin. Or is it really Xeon again?’
‘I need to check whether it’s a Xeon or not.’
‘If it weren’t for Xeon, how would you think of challenging Prince Calian?’
‘The Secretia nobles wouldn’t think that way. ‘They don’t know how much my brother eats and how well he fights.’
Even the nobles of Kairis do not know how much power Calian has.
When Zeon first attacked Calian, Calian lived and died. After that, on the day when members of Zeon attacked Euria and Arsene, Calian and Allen went together and saved them.
In addition, as to the reason why Calian was injured after fighting with Evan, it was rumored that he was seriously injured after being ‘attacked by Secretia’s three men’. This was because they believed that if the Kairis nobles truly knew about Calian’s strength, they would not sit quietly by and nominate Calian as the next king.
Therefore, people did not really know how strong Kalian was. Even if it was Zeon, he wouldn’t be fooled into thinking that Calian had really suffered that much damage from the Sejaks regarding Evan’s incident, but at least he wouldn’t think that he had a hole in his stomach because he thought of something else at the last minute while dealing with Evan easily. did.
‘I guess so. Then how can I help you?’
‘They told me that they would be looking for an opportunity to target my brother at any time, so if they are going to attack me someday anyway, I plan to leave today without giving them time to reinforce my strength. Come quietly and help me fight. ‘With the blue haired crazy wizard.’
Calian barked really well in front of Devlan. Thanks to this, Devlan made an attempt on Kalian’s life. So, Plantz thought that it would be better for Calian to confront one side right away and resolve the issue rather than be threatened by both the nobles and Devlan.
Isn’t Devlan the person who will immediately find out why the nobles are targeting Calian’s head? In that case, Devlan would try to deal with the nobles first before Calian.
‘Then what should Sir Grace do?’
‘I want you to wait and come with me when Prince Chase comes out.’
‘Wouldn’t it be dangerous to call the Crown Prince of Secretia outside?’
‘You can come here for a moment after the fight is over. Crown Prince Chase may not know who he will help between me and my brother, but by looking at the direction in which Devlan and the nobles are moving, I think we will be able to decide who we should keep in check first.’
After the conversation with Plants, Arsene came to visit us at night. As Plantz said, Euria, who had only intended to follow Calian and guard him with Arsene, let down her guard.
Thanks to you, I fell asleep and when I woke up, Aila was there.
And now, he was moving with Rachel to carry out Calian’s new request that Eila had conveyed.
Euria, who had been unconsciously looking for something familiar in the rapidly changing scenery thanks to Rachel’s ability, opened her mouth again.
“Are you sure you know where Bridget’s Forest is? It feels like we’ve been running in the same place since before.”
“Are you asking the travel wizard if he’s lost?”
“No. Cancel.”
Inside the magic school, Euria was the principal and Rachel was the vice principal, but since Rachel was older, they decided to just live as they were comfortable outside. Of course, this is what Rachel decided to do on her first day at the school, after spending all night giving Himolica to each other.
“I think there are a lot of Secretia soldiers near the forest, but it’s better for us to be less visible if we want to watch and prevent them from doing anything stupid in the elven forest. That’s why we’re heading down the side road that turns around now. I’m lost. “No, don’t worry.”
“Yes, I understand. But you even know the side road. Have you ever been here?”
Rachel nodded.
– I’m sorry Rachel. I guess it wasn’t this way. If you keep going, you’ll reach the forest, but you’ll have to go back a bit longer.
– Look. The person who told me this was the direction didn’t seem to know the route very well. When I asked him one more time and let me go, he said that you were right.
Rachel’s memory of a time when she had passed the same road came to her mind, and she continued to tell a story that she had rarely said before.
“Where the elves live, there are many strange plants and many things that can be used as medicine. So, before Veronica was born, I went to visit Ronil once, and that time we went this way. Not long ago, Crown Prince Secretia invited my father once, so I came here. “I even stopped by Kim’s for a while. Oh, that time, I went with Veronica instead of Ronil.”
“Ah… I heard you two traveled around a lot.”
“Yes. My father’s wanderlust was so extreme. I also liked wandering around, and so did Ronil, so we followed him around together. We had a great time.”
Euria was very good at drinking, threatening, fighting, and killing, but she was not very good at comforting her new friend, who was remembering her husband of the same age who left her before her. So, while I was trying hard to decide what more to say, I heard Rachel say something.
“So don’t say it so easily that I will kill you.”
Recalling how Euria got angry when Arsene carelessly cast a sleep spell and ran away, Rachel turned her head to see Euria staring at her without answering.
– I didn’t know you would tell me the way, even though I don’t know the way well.
– If you live your life trusting people like that and not checking them properly, you will regret it greatly.
– I’m sorry, Rachel. Instead, I will buy you flowers when I return. There was a flower shop on the way, and the secretia flowers were pretty.
– Where should I put the flowers? Buy me something delicious other than flowers.
– OK got it. I’ll buy you something delicious.
“Things said as a joke hurt a lot later.”
* * *
It’s quiet.
The sound of a horse’s hooves is constant and monotonous, so if you don’t pay attention to it, it will soon be forgotten.
I disliked cumbersome things and had no interest in the passage of time. So Plantz didn’t bring his watch. I had never learned how to tell time by looking at the sky and measuring the stars.
So Plantz was about to ask how much further he had to go, but he just quietly looked ahead and kept going.
– Multi-faceted, multi-faceted.
I listened to the sound of hooves that were forgotten, but then came back again, and before long, went away from my ears. It was better to focus on the sound of the horse’s hooves than on the smell of my brother’s blood, which was getting thicker and then disappearing as if washed away, and then slowly getting stronger.
I know that Kalian cannot overcome Plantz’s stubbornness.
However, Plantz did not break all of Calian’s stubbornness.
Even if the knights of Secretia see a drop of blood falling in this darkness, it doesn’t mean they can easily guess whether it is Calian or Plantz. That’s why I told him twice more to stop wasting his clean magic. And Kalyan didn’t listen.
The bandage, which was visible at first glance, became wet and blood pooled, and it was repeatedly cleaned. Planz, who remembered well how quickly the smell of blood oozing from inside became thicker, finally opened his mouth after a long time.
“… It doesn’t seem to be getting any better.”
A speed that neither gets faster nor slower.
If the wound was healing, the bleeding should have stopped little by little, but the blood seeped out and was erased by clean magic at the same rate.
“Because it’s moving. Even if you have the power of blessing, there’s nothing you can do if the wound continues to open.”
It’s a lie.
At the very least, if the horse Calian is riding is Estina, I will believe that horse. But Raven was a special horse. Isn’t he someone who knows how to watch his steps so that Calian’s wound doesn’t move? Even if a wound is opened by a person sitting on a horse walking so carefully on such a flat land, the speed of healing with the power of blessing should be faster.
Plantz looked at Calian without saying anything.
Once again, the magical power moved and the smell of blood disappeared.
“It’s either not being treated or it’s severe. Whichever.”
Calian let out a small laugh.
Before another word like ‘My brother is so smart’ came out of his mouth, Plantz opened his mouth again.
“say.”
“You don’t have to worry because the treatment is just delayed. You will get better soon after the detox is completed.”
decoding.
Plantz looked at Calian with a lost expression.
“… They say you can’t be affected by poison.”
“Rather than saying that it is immune to poison, it would be more correct to say that it is the body that protects the body. It seems to have seeped in through some of the wounds, but it is more poisonous if it enters the body directly than the side that is inhaled. Somehow, it changed the sword and rushed at me. “I think he meant to die.”
The gray-haired warrior suddenly threw away his sword during the fight. Then, he lifted the sword of the brown-haired warrior lying dead and cut down Calian. And then died.
A sword with a saw blade.
Rather than saying I was cut, I had a wound that should have been torn from the inside. Calian, who felt his senses slowly disappearing, spoke in a light tone.
“Anyway, when I get back, I’ll have to ask you to prepare strawberries, which you like. Your complexion doesn’t look good, probably because the food doesn’t suit you.”
My older brother is very sensitive, so Plantz frowned as he watched Calian add to his remarks.
“I don’t think it’s time to bark.”
“It’s not your fault, brother. I didn’t expect warriors to use such tactics. I guess I trusted them too much.”
Calian, who turned his head for a moment after saying something like a joke, smiled brightly and continued speaking.
“So this isn’t your fault right now.”
Before he could figure out what those words meant, a red glow appeared on Calian’s hands.
It was only then that I realized that there were not four people following me.
