Episode 671 Winning Your Heart (15)
It was somehow strange.
The fact that the food was poisoned before the White Guard arrived, and the sloppy confrontation like this.
No matter how much the coalition is an emerging powerful force, it was nothing more than a puppy compared to the Heukbang.
“Aren’t these all idiots?”
If you’re going to imitate the black room, you should at least do it perfectly.
Did you look so confident that you were fooled by your acting?
Even if it looks like this, it has been more than five years since I lost my black room and chuck.
I hope you don’t look at the time in vain.
He kicked his chest with his toe.
Then, the expressions of the men in black, who had been beaten quietly, changed badly.
“Oooh!”
face turns black
Sensing something bad, Ray approached them.
“Why are you like this?”
Without a bird to prepare for anything.
Various magic circles appeared on their foreheads.
‘A nesting magic circle?’
The magic circle, which was said to be able to be double-stacked only at the level of a great wizard, was triple-stacked.
Ray quickly shook his hand.
It gradually emits resonance and softens one axis of the magic circle that condenses power with power.
Geuggeuk-!
The moment the magic circle was about to disappear with an inaudible roar.
A familiar pattern appeared on their foreheads.
“Cuck!”
“Keueoeouk…”
With a weak moan, the people in black died at once.
Seeing him coughing up blood through his mouth and nose, it seems that he was attacked by mana in his body.
The post-processing is clean without clutter.
In addition to that, there was no situation in my hand to the extent that I thought it was excessive.
‘It’s a black room.’
It is certain that they are allied, but it must be the Black Room that played a trick behind the scenes.
I never thought they would insert a triple overlapping magic circle without their knowledge.
‘Heukbang is aiming for the White Guard.’
It must be the intention to cut the buds in advance.
It is a group of the best people in the kingdom.
It was clear that if not now, it would be a difficult group to deal with in the next ten years.
So he must have thought of killing him before he grew up.
Dale and Freesia only touched it, but they kept their mouths shut as they watched the black people dying.
they saw clearly
Not one magic circle, but three at the same time.
“…I’m not familiar with magic, but I can understand it at a glance.”
“Four triple overlaps… Even for a prestigious duke of magic… It’s an impossible vision…”
They misunderstood.
Naturally, Ray, who tried to cut off the magic circle, placed his hand on the black righteous people’s foreheads.
At that time, the magic circle was created and the black people died, so it would have looked as if anyone had died by the triple stacking magic he created.
Freesia raised herself up and bowed.
“Freesia of the Countess of Dwest… Meets the Great Harbinger… It is an honor to discover the nesting magic circle.”
“What is glory? They know they’re dead.”
It was worse than poisoning.
Besides, the last letter that came to mind before they died.
It was undoubtedly the mark of the kingdom of Gaia.
What does it mean?
Ray, who looked down at the corpses of the black men, spoke.
“Can you send these guys to Celia’s royal family?”
Because it’s an odd request.
Dale and Freesia asked curiously.
“The royal family… you mean?”
“I think we should do some research.”
No matter how you look at it, it stinks.
In the worst case, Seongguk could have been involved in the current affair.
If at all possible the Seongguk intervened in the threat of Baekwidan, it was an international problem.
Most of the kingdoms will take this opportunity to criticize the Holy Kingdom.
After all, the power of the Holy Kingdom is no longer the same as before.
If the Holy Nation, which is about to announce the Holy War, would notice other countries, the Demonic Church would be that much easier to move around.
‘Maybe it has something to do with the plague that circulated in Celia.’
It is already a black room that can use triple stacked magic circles.
It wouldn’t be unreasonable to use great magic on the scale of the territory.
Deep in thought, Ray decided to hurry on his way to the manor.
Dale started talking to him when he got up from his seat after packing his things.
“Are you leaving already?”
“I have to go. When the guards arrive, hand them over to the royal family. If I have time, I also tell the king to take care of himself.”
If you are openly aiming for Baekwidan, it means that you have already poured as much as Ganttaengi will pour.
I wouldn’t be surprised if they aim for the royal family anytime.
Leaving only a final goodbye, Ray left the inn.

Ete, who had eaten five bowls of tasteless vegetable soup, climbed into the carriage.
Until now, I knew that Heukbang had been the first to use their hands, but now it was especially late.
If the guys who were active in the dark came up to the light, it means that they have finished their preparations to some extent.
“I can’t even dream of reclaiming the territory.”
He let out a lament and sped up the wagon.
Originally, it would have started by receiving Lacia’s potion and making the land fertile.
However, since heukbang hit the player, he could no longer live leisurely.
First of all, securing allies comes first.
I should go around the neighboring countries and make allies, whether they be humans, dwarves, or kobolds.
When he, who was usually leisurely, moved around busily, Ete pursed his lips.
Even if there are many things you want to ask, you should not ask.
In the long silence that passed between the two, only the sound of horses’ hooves echoed loudly.

Left in the dining room, Freesia and Dale looked back at each other.
Both were unscathed, but were in great shock.
“…if it was wrong, we would have just died.”
Dale nodded slowly at her words.
“It is a miracle to be alive. I was lucky to meet him on the way.”
Although his detailed appearance was hidden by the robe, his unobstructed and free movement was memorable.
Dale dismissed it as just luck, but Freesia thought differently.
She made a serious face and ran her messy hair through it.
“Was it just pure luck? Things fit so well for that.”
“…What do you mean by that?”
“Leaving aside those who tried to assassinate us, he appeared as if he had been waiting.”
Dale frowned at her words.
I heard it and it is true.
However, he, who had lived his whole life upright, did not want to doubt the benefactor who saved his life.
“The leap is serious. Besides, if he had a plan, he wouldn’t have saved us in the first place. There must have been a reason to keep him alive?”
“…that’s what it takes. In other words, there was no loyalty to save us. After all, it was us who started the fight first. I didn’t see him… he was so loyal.”
I was saved, but I feel bad.
That was her opinion.
Dale shook his head as if he didn’t even need to hear.
“I know that the young lady is usually very cautious, but excessive suspicion will lead to anger.”
“okay. Still, it’s better to be suspicious of others than to suffer as you are now.”
Freesia said in a sarcastic tone and gestured at the ruined surroundings.
“…”
The surrounding area was literally a mess.
The collapsed table and chairs reminded me of an abandoned house, and the beautiful decorations had long since become rags.
Wouldn’t this have happened if I had been a little suspicious as she said?
If only I hadn’t relaxed before eating.
Had that been the case, such an unfortunate incident could have been prevented.
I had a sudden thought.
By the time a subtle air current flows between the two of them.
The other White Guards who called the guards arrived at the inn.
“Is everyone okay?”
“I’ll save you right away!”
The guards holding spears and the person in charge entered the front, maintaining formation.
Remedy-!
chuck-!
Between the guards lined up with five, the members of the White Guard poke their heads out.
But contrary to expectations, the inn was quiet.
Freesia, who was resting against the wall, told her not to strain herself.
“It’s already over. Get ready because you have to go back.”
“Where are you going back?”
“To get revenge. I’ll show you what happens if you dare to touch the White Guard. I’ll report to His Majesty the King what just happened… and we’ll… improve our skills.”
Adduk!
I’m going this far, perhaps because I’m quite resentful.
I had never seen her angry before.
He must have been angry at the current situation.
Dale also had no objection.
“How on earth am I supposed to give a report with such an appearance…”
Speaking of the Baekwidan, it is a position where they are even revered as heroes.
Such people were easily poisoned and went to the brink of annihilation, so it was not difficult to report.
Failure to do so could incur the king’s wrath.
Did you notice that fact?
The expressions of the other members of the White Guard also darkened.
“Ha, but in the end, Dale and Freesia took care of it, didn’t they?”
“okay. Whatever the situation, we got through it. That’s it.”
At that, Freesia bit her lip.
“…a man we met in the woods helped us. Otherwise, Dale and I must have been dead.”
“…huh?”
“What is that…”
“…We couldn’t do anything until the end.”
coo-!
Unable to hold back her anger, she slammed the floor.
It’s called ‘Baekwidan’.
The days she was proud of as Celia’s young hero turned into shame.
On the subject of not doing anything, what kind of hero is a hero?
I am ashamed of myself for being terrified even for a moment as I watched those who drew their swords and spit out murder.
On the other hand, his leisurely movements while dealing with three or four people were not enough to be praised as a hero.
If there is really such a thing as a hero.
It must have had the same appearance as the man.
Wasn’t that different from other people’s thoughts?
Their heads, which had been upright like lofty cranes, somehow looked more bent than usual.
