Chapter 83. If Hina,
who has great knowledge (7), comes.
There was no content that started like this.
[Hina is coming. ]
That was it.
Plantz’s letter only contained instructions on how to arrest Whitlin when Hina did not come, what to watch out for if she was sent back without arrest, and what to do after that.
So what if.
“It’s unnecessary… Is that what you said right?”
If Hina comes.
According to Hina’s wishes. As Hina copes. It must have meant to leave it alone and not interfere.
“Yes, that’s right.”
However, in fact, Planz did not explain Freyr’s identity in the letter. Thanks to this, no one here knew who was currently taking on the form of Freyr.
In the first place, no one knows who Freya’s surname and territory called ‘Whitlin’ came from. Only Arsene and Euria, who saw Planz’s letter, said things like ‘Hina and Whitlin’s powers are similar’, so they made a miraculous guess by saying ‘I think Plantz wrote Freyr’s name as Whitlin’. I just did it.
So, it was natural that the driver who interpreted Hina’s words also had no idea what Hina was thinking when she said those words.
“Now that I’m here, that healer said he was unnecessary. Our healer just said.”
The article said it again as if to emphasize it.
In a calm tone without any other emotions.
– Ja-bak, jap-a-bak.
Hina took a step again.
I walked as if I was just going to pass by Whitlin, who asked the driver a question. As if he hadn’t heard anything, he went from behind Whitlin to the front towards where Euria was.
-…… Let’s go.
Then he soon stopped walking.
If Hina wants to meet Whitlin, I hope that the ‘mother’ Hina meets for the first time does not have the appearance of a sinner. I’m afraid that Hina will be heartbroken when she sees things like that.
Hina understood that for that reason, Calian and Planz had left Whitlin alone without first arresting him or revealing his true identity. He clearly understood that he had left Whitlin alone, knowing that he might run away or try to break into Plantz’s empty room.
It would have been fine to pretend not to have seen Whitlin, and there would have been no problem in meeting and talking with Whitlin separately for a while. In that way, even if Whitlin escapes again, Calian and Plantz are the ones who will take care of everything.
So, Hina, who had been wondering what to do after meeting Whitlin, looked at Whitlin, who was still in the form of Freyr.
– Jabak.
Then, after taking just one step towards Whitlin, he searched inside his robes and took out a wallet. I opened the wallet embroidered with two small cats and picked up a coin.
After that, also walk.
Hina moved a little closer to Whitlin and held out her hand. Whitlin, who, unlike Kirie, was looking at Hina, who looked a lot like her, as if she was unfamiliar, placed a coin she had just taken out in her hand.
A coin worth less than one hundredth of one florin. Money enough to buy five rye breads. I handed it to Whitlin
– that.
Hina’s hands draw words.
– It’s the price of my brother’s life. My brother risked his life every day to receive that one coin given every three days.
The driver next to me paused while interpreting Hina’s short story. Even though I didn’t understand what Hina meant, I cleared my throat for a moment and finished speaking.
– Jalang!
Another coin is placed in Whitlin’s hand.
– It’s the price of my life. I lied to my brother and said I could buy six loaves of rye bread with one coin. So I starved one day out of every three days.
The knight’s voice, which paused a little longer, is heard.
Whitlin lowered his gaze.
He looked down at what was placed on his hand.
Two coins.
I looked down at two small, thin coins that were nothing and had absolutely no value. I looked down at it for a while without saying another word.
– This is my reward for giving birth to me and my brother. It’s the price of two lives you forgot.
The interpreting voice cut off again. Each member of the team who saw Hina’s words held their breath.
But Hina’s face was calm. What kind of clouds were in the sky during the day, what kind of grass seeds came out of Anne’s fur yesterday, what clothes Lucy wore today, and what the scent of the tea she drank at lunch smelled like. His face looked like he was saying something like that.
I thought there was no need to be angry or resentful.
There was no way Whitlin, holding two coins, would regret it now, but Hina also didn’t want Whitlin to feel regret already. I didn’t want to think that Kirie and Hina had survived for just a coin because of the cheap choices of someone who would feel guilty for only a coin.
– I never imagined that you were worth only that much. When I think about it again, it’s just a coin. That’s all we wanted from you. So don’t think you’ve given up on something great. Don’t mistake yourself for giving up something precious and taking a better path.
Although she had not forgotten the beads that would transmit her voice, Hina moved her hands to convey her words. Because Whitlin had no right to hear Hina’s voice.
– Don’t expect me to keep remembering you by blaming you with more words. Anyway, I paid back everything my brother and I received from you.
Again and again. The driver put emphasis on each syllable and translated Hina’s words into sound.
– mother.
Even the last word.
Hina, who had been standing still waiting for the driver to finish interpreting, turned her head. And then he moved his hand towards Euria and the crew.
– Retrieve the necklace. If you need a reason to be arrested.
One of the wizards who saw these words looked at Euria. I opened my mouth to tell Euria, who was not familiar with sign language, the meaning of Hina’s words. But
– shoo!
Euria’s magic moved a little faster.
The magical power of water in the shape of a sickle extended towards Whitlin, who continued to look down at the light object in his palm. Then it swung wildly as if it was going to cut off Whitlin’s head.
– Sigh!
– …… Tuk!
But suddenly.
The only thing that broke and fell was a thin necklace.
“I understand that much.”
A dry voice follows.
Hina turned her head before Freyr’s hair turned silvery white and her eyes turned black.
– Ja-bak, jap-a-bak.
He turned his back on Whitlin before the numerous charges were revealed, such as the Crown Prince impersonating the Baron, impersonating a member of the Prince’s family, and trying to enter the Crown Prince’s room with a false face to fool the Prince’s eyes. And then he moved towards the crown prince’s room again.
The knights who had crowded around the door of the room made their way. They made a wide path so that their really needed healers, not the unnecessary healers, could enter the room of ‘our Vice Commander, who was falling asleep due to his drinking.’
Hina passed between them.
The driver inside quickly opened the door and let Hina in. And then closed it tightly again.
Whitlin watched it.
As I was thinking about Kirie, who had finished paying tribute to me while chasing after Hina, who had shown me her uselessness, I thought of Danu, who had not responded since last night.
‘mother.’
I called Danu once more.
No answer came back.
– Hwiik!
Euria used the second magic. A chain of water was stretched out to envelop Whitlin, who had silver-white hair and jet-black eyes.
[If you arrest Whitlin, Zeon’s soldiers will come. Because they’ve been attacking Whitlin all this time. Either get over Whitlin without fighting, or stop Zeon and investigate Whitlin. From there, it’s up to you, wizard, to decide. Don’t kill Whitlin yourself. ]
I tried my best to observe Planz’s last words, leaving all judgment about what would happen from now on to Arsene.
* * *
I thought a strong wind had passed.
I thought that a chilly energy was moving as if passing by, shaking all around and then receding.
– …… Boom!
– Slurp!
So the five warriors who had just fallen would only think of it that way. A strong wind and a chill filled him swept away. The red aura in their swords disappeared and their lives were taken away at the same time, so they must have met the end without knowing anything more.
– Kaaaang! Kagang!
But the remaining five were not.
In the blink of an eye, a pure white blade flew out. The moment I barely managed to push away the flesh that seemed to be cutting into my skin, light purple eyes that I couldn’t believe were human came right in front of my nose.
The warrior swung his sword.
He stretched out his auror to block the attack and try to block it.
– Whiing!
However, he only made a futile gesture and there was no one where the warrior’s sword landed.
“I’m curious.”
A whisper reaches the ears of the warrior who was alert to his surroundings after noticing that the person in front of him had disappeared. I quickly swung my sword in the direction of the sound, but there was nothing caught on the tip of the sword. This time too, only the sound of the wind tearing came back.
– Taaat!
– …… Kwasik!
One again.
Another warrior nearby lost his heart and fell.
A sound was heard in the ears of the yellow-haired warrior who had sent the first taunt. A sound was heard as if a ferocious beast, intoxicated by the sweet taste of hunting, was clearing its throat.
‘eighteen.’
That’s it.
“How does it feel when the power you gained without compensation disappears?”
The warrior, who clearly heard the expression of curiosity, put strength to his fingertips. I tried not to panic and relaxed my stiff shoulders.
‘It’s Kalian. ‘No one else did it.’
Although the appearance was different, it was clearly Kalian.
They said he was a confident guy who didn’t usually carry any other swords. So, I was told to steal the mana from his group. A wizard who couldn’t use magic, a swordsman who wasn’t a sword master to begin with, and the first prince who was born and raised in the royal palace wouldn’t even be at the level of feeling threatened.
You can come and see what happens when ‘Calian’, who can’t use magic or aurors, loses his aurors and picks up a random sword and swings it. I came here after hearing that.
I never thought that we would end up in the opposite situation, with four warriors facing each other, as if it had become a spectacle, and watching out for a ghostly beast that could attack from any direction.
“I came to see Danu and I. Who sent you guys? You didn’t even ask who I was… It’s amazing.”
As if I had a lot of questions, the voice on the wind came again.
I can’t bear to live hanging on the end of my voice. One person, unable to handle it any longer, took a step forward. I extended my aura toward the sound of breathing that reached my ear.
– Ugh… Passut!
The same situation repeats itself.
The fake aura on the sword fades away. The red auror that gave the warriors strength was useless. It’s been a long time since I lost it.
-Ssam!
– Kwasik!
A long stab wound was left on the neck of the person who escaped. The warrior, bleeding profusely, rolled around on the dark floor.
nineteen.
I hear that murmur again.
-Nod.
The yellow-haired warrior sent a small gesture. The other two warriors, shoulder to shoulder and wary in all directions, saw it. Then he immediately kicked his foot.
– Taaaat!
– Taaat!
It was to attack the three other party members, other than Calian, who hid himself in the shadows like a ghost and did not appear, with his long blue-silver hair fluttering around.
The two warriors rushed out at the same time.
They each extended their swords towards the blue-haired wizard and the Calian knight, who were clearly the ‘crown prince who wields two swords’, standing in front of Randel. I jumped forward, expecting Calian to appear to block that attack.
However, instead of Calian, two gray swords cut through the darkness.
– Hwiik!
– Kaaang kaaaaang!
Kirie strongly countered the sword of the warrior who lunged forward and hit the warrior’s chin with the tip of the sword handle.
– Bah!
With a loud sound that made one suspect that the bones were crunching, the warrior hesitated and took two steps back. Kirie immediately approached and engaged in several battles with the warrior.
The same goes for Planz. Plantz, who blocked the warrior’s attack with the handle of the gray Synastar, swung the blue-silver Synastar. The warrior who pushed back the blocking sword blocked and deflected another attack.
A gray sword flew back in place of the sword on the side that had been thrown. As I dodged it, the bluish-silver sword blade that was right in front of my nose was aimed at my neck.
– Kaaaang kaang!
– Kagan kang!
Another person other than the warriors fighting in front of Plants and Kyrie. The yellow-haired warrior, who stayed until the end, looked around constantly. The purpose was to catch and attack Calian, who might appear from nowhere.
– Kagagang kaaaaang!
But Kalyan did not step forward.
He didn’t say any more or send the sword. It seemed as if it had disappeared somewhere in an instant, with no signs of life or presence completely hidden.
The warrior, unable to move his feet, was on guard as he checked the two fights taking place in the distance.
– Kwaduk!
– Kaaaang!
The warrior’s sword, blocked by Kyrie’s gray sword, made a crunching sound.
A pure fight that took place in a situation where neither party could display their aurors. A sword fight between the warriors of the Great Desert and the knights of Kairis. After enduring such a fight, it was unable to withstand the strong blade and made an overwhelming sound.
The warrior gritted his teeth and drew his sword. This is because it was clear that if left like this, the blade would break. Then, Kirie, who immediately caught the sign, extended his sword further.
– Card-duck ka-gak!
The gray sword was filled with power once again.
The sword, which was thought to be light, gained great power.
– …… Damn it!
And without fail, a large crack was created in the warrior’s sword.
The warrior, who barely managed to slip Kyrie’s sword as he relaxed his grip, was bitten by one foot. Then he took out a dagger from his pocket and charged at him once again.
– Hwiik!
– Kaaang… Wow!
Kyrie twisted her waist to avoid the dagger and launched herself towards the warrior’s side. He lightly knocked away the rushing dagger again and then struck the warrior’s side hard.
The warrior’s body sways with the deathly spell. A red light enveloped the body and began to heal the wound that had just appeared.
Since he had already seen this many times, Kirie didn’t pay any attention to it. He kicked his feet once again and sent his sword towards the warrior.
– Buuuuung!
The warrior’s sword blocks Kirie’s path.
Kirie held her sword with one hand and stretched out her arm. After blocking the warrior’s sword with the sword in his right hand, he reached out his left hand and grabbed the warrior’s wrist. Then, without even having time to counterattack, he twisted the warrior’s hand and snatched the handle of the dagger.
The corners of Kirie’s lips twitched slightly.
The moment when the smile was in the warrior’s eyes.
– Kaaaaaaaa!
The sound of the sword breaking into pieces, which could not be reversed, rang in my ears. Before he even had time to look at it, the dagger Kirie had taken pierced the warrior’s neck.
It was Calian who taught Plantz to use two swords, and it was Kirie who often helped him with his training. Kirie also knew well how to deal with two swords.
– Taaaat!
The moment the warrior, out of breath, fell to the floor, another sound was heard. It was Planz.
A different-colored Sinastar pushed under the warrior’s sword, which was blocked without any possibility. The warrior quickly pushed away his sword, twisted his body, and rushed back toward Plantz.
Plantz, who blocked the attack with a crossed synastar, bit down on one foot for a moment and then turned his body. After striking down the warrior’s sword that came between them with the blue-silver sword, he raised the gray sword and aimed for the warrior’s neck.
– Kaaang kaaaaang!
Plantz, who was blocking the warrior’s barrage of sword strikes with two swords, put his hands together. Then, with a metallic clanging sound, Sinastar merged into one.
Plantz, who had gained weight, struck a powerful downward attack aimed at the top of his head, then turned his body in the same direction as his sword was extending and slashed Sinasta horizontally. The warrior who saw this quickly lowered his sword and blocked the flying Sinasta.
A heavier hitting sound rings out.
The warrior gritted his teeth for a moment.
The power was completely different from the light stabbing attack with two swords. This is because he felt that his sword was pushed away by a force stronger than expected.
Plantz, who did not miss the opportunity, quickly moved his hand.
– Bang!
Sinastar’s metallic sound is heard again. The large sword that was connected as one split into two thin swords. The warrior’s sword, which had been pushed away, regains its balance and swings towards Planz’s waist. Plantz blocked it with a blue-silver sword with the handle turned upside down and held out a gray sword.
– Kaaaang!
– Kagak Kaaang!
The warrior’s armor touches the tip of Sinasta’s dark sword. It pierced through. After that, it continued to expand. The strong metal that lightly sliced through flesh and bone penetrated the innermost life.
– …… Kwasik!
You can hear the other person’s movements stopping.
Plantz, who removed the sword from the body, brushed off the blood on Sinastar. And then I turned my head.
The yellow-haired warrior saw a beam of blue-silver light rushing toward him.
The last remaining warrior urgently lowered his head. The pure white sword that passed over it moved again, leaving a long afterimage.
– Kang kaang kang!
I raised my sword towards the vaguely visible white blade. The warrior who was hastily blocking it continued to move his sword without even having time to catch his breath. I frantically stretched out my sword and swung it. I dealt with the endless sword, blocking, blocking, and letting go.
I tried to think of why the sword glowed so white and why Calian looked like that, to overcome the deathly threat that was threatening to grab and squeeze my heart, but in the end, I couldn’t come up with anything.
“I guess you thought that if you had this kind of power, you could overpower my teacher. I guess that’s why you acted so confident.”
A cold voice pierces my ears. A clear voice uttered without even trying to calm down one’s anger.
That voice as if it were whispering after sinking its fully erect claws into the other person’s neck. And those light purple eyes that seem to know nothing about defeat.
Because I heard it and saw it.
So, in the end, I became discouraged.
– Kagagak!
The attack that was sent out with the last of its strength was blocked by Calian’s sword.
“It’s no use.”
The voice telling the correct answer enters the warrior’s ears again. A pure white sword with many sharp edges catches the eyes of a warrior.
– Kwasik!
That was the last time.
The warrior closed his eyes as he felt the cool sensation of the sword piercing his neck.
– …… Tuk.
The warrior, kneeling helplessly, fell to the floor.
Drops of blood fall from the tip of the pure white sword.
Calian, who had been quietly looking at it, turned his head. I saw Kirie, who calmly finished the fight, and Randel, who had turned his back and was looking at the waterfall again. Next to him, a wizard with bright blue hair was seen hiding the sword he had holstered under the hem of his robe.
Calian’s red lips, who were watching ‘Arsene’ for a moment, draw a long line.
“Lord Hertz seems to have a knack for swords. How did you come to use a sword?”
“… It just so happened that it happened like that.”
“Yes.”
Eat and drink.
Calian laughed once more and sheathed his sword.
Long blue-silver hair was reflected on the pure white sword body for a moment and then disappeared.
