Episode 812 Danger in Baybon (8)
After dinner, Lady Simon started to doze off with a pleasant feeling of fullness.
“I feel sleepy?”
“Yes. Not sleepy.”
She answered with half-closed eyes.
“I put a blanket on it, so don’t be stubborn and go to sleep.”
“Men and women are unique, but sleeping together under the same sky…”
Even if you don’t know if it is one roof, you will be kicked out even under one sky.
Contrary to what she said, she staggered along like a zombie, and then lay quietly on the blanket and fell asleep.
“It’s like taking care of a single child.”
Well, it’s better than being noisy next door.
As the night fell, the members who had been struggling all day at the gymnasium were ready to sleep one by one.
Since the smell is so strong, they try to sleep far away from the pit, but even that seems difficult for those with a weak stomach.
The children of nobles had already returned to the village for a long time.
After all, there’s no way they’re proud of themselves to participate in such an ascetic practice.
I was warming up from sitting all day, but I felt a faint presence from far beyond the forest.
Judging by the pale appearance, is it a rabbit or a mouse?
Occasionally, wild beasts roamed nearby, so Ray quickly turned his attention away.
However, the number of signs gradually increased.
Few animals move in groups at night like this.
Moreover, even more so for Baybon, which must be at a fairly high altitude.
“Something has come.”
Ray, who naturally tried to follow the men in black, suddenly looked back.
There, he saw Lady Simon, who had fallen into trouble.
If she leaves, the Black Room will surely try to kill her.
Although it is said that Deungwoldan is stronger than its age, it is a term that is only used when they are of the same age.
It didn’t seem like they would be able to stop the Assassins of the Dark Room with their current skills.
Even in the case of forty-five, they used the magic of the 6th circle, so if they were numbers earlier than that, they would be treated as ephemera.
‘I can’t leave it alone.’
That’s why I can’t stand still to protect her.
After thinking for a while, Ray suddenly started digging.
Deep enough for one person to fit in.
He dug a tunnel so that only his face could stick out, and soon shook Lady Simon to wake her up.
“wake up.”
“Yes.”
“Oh well, wake up.”
“No….”
She tossed and turned a few times, but she never got up.
It seems that he fell into a deep sleep.
can’t do it
I have no choice but to put off the investigation and ask first.
Ray dragged her body and threw her into the tunnel.
At that point, Lady Simon also opened her eyes, perhaps sensing something strange.
“Umm…”
She was about to rub her eyes, but when her hands didn’t move, she looked around.
Vision is lower than usual.
A familiar face squatting and burying himself laughed humorously.
“Are you awake? It’s just fine.”
He, who was about to bury a person alive, said lightly, ‘I was going to wake him up anyway,’ as if he was saying good morning.
Embarrassed, she stammered to the end.
“Yes? Rather, why am I buried in a place like this?”
“I don’t have time to explain. Now, I’m asking for this.”
“Ugh.”
With a square piece of wood in his mouth, he continued.
“That will clear the mark. Even if it is, it is only to endure for a day, but it will be better than nothing.”
“Ugh!”
It looks like he has something more to say.
But unfortunately, now is not the time to have a leisurely conversation.
Ray casts a spell on her one last time.
“Hold.”
When she took the last step, fearing that she might escape from the hole, she was surprised and glared at him with an axe eye at the same time.
As expected, Ray turned his back, thinking that the more he saved the more he would receive resentment rather than gratitude.
“Aww!”
I hear sad screams of resentment and anger from behind, but I decided not to pay attention for now.
He hurried after the black men.
* * *
“Rise up everyone! It’s an enemy!”
People who were awakened by the cries of the guards looked outside.
A huge fire that soared to the height of a building.
Residents were being slaughtered by a group of knights in half-plate armor with blazing smoke.
“What is this all about!”
“First run away! It’s dangerous here!”
“Where the hell…”
“Go to the castle and tell the truth…”
The guards who were talking were hit by a crater flying from somewhere and burned roaringly.
“Aaaaaagh!”
People who couldn’t escape in time were trapped in the building as debris scattered and fire spread here and there.
But no one was there to rescue them.
This is because the guards were frantic in driving away the assailants, while others were scrambling to escape.
“Kill everyone you see.”
At the command of the leader, the knights followed the order and swung their swords regardless of age or gender.
There must have been bandits among them, and not only killing them, but plundering and harassing them frequently.
“Oh mom… I’m scared…”
“It’s okay… It’s okay, so hide here.”
The woman, who gently brushed her daughter’s bangs, trembled while holding a knife.
Knock-!
A man in armor violently opened the door and entered.
“Ha ha ha! You were hiding in a place like this!”
“Don’t come any closer! I will stab you!”
The woman threatened with a knife that was about a handful wide.
“What a bold year. You mean you dare to point your sword at a knight of the kingdom?”
“A kingdom…”
He proudly showed off the pattern on his chest.
There was a golden marigold symbolizing the Baybon royal family.
“Why is the kingdom…”
“To think of plotting against a subject who was under His Majesty’s protection?”
At the knight’s words, the woman furiously hit the hammer.
“Woah, I don’t know if you’re a rebel! I am……!”
“Shut up! Did you intend to vomit at what is being done under the strict king’s command! I wouldn’t say I didn’t know that the end of treachery is death!”
The man raised his sword.
“We really don’t know! Help me!”
“If you have any regrets, solve them in the afterlife!”
The moment you drop the knife.
Cade, who ran in just in time, stopped him.
Kaaaang-!
When interrupted at the last moment, the knight clicked his tongue.
“Are you trying to meddle in the affairs of the kingdom that the Ascending Dan saw?”
“It is not right for the royal family to try to kill the people!”
“How can people from other countries talk about big things and small things in the kingdom! Get out of here!”
“I can’t do that!”
Quaang-! Kwaaaang-!
The two clashed their swords as if to kill each other.
The other members who arrived belatedly hearing the commotion recognized Cade.
“Cade! What the hell is this!”
“Baybon is trying to kill the people! It’s fine here, so help somewhere else!”
At Cade’s words, the children were shocked.
Did the royal family turn around overnight?
As screams poured in from all sides, they looked at each other without asking further.
“I’m going this way! Children, go somewhere else!”
“I will help too!”
“Then I will call the other members!”
“Please!”
they were scattered in all directions.
* * *
The members who had been sleeping in the Great Hall opened their eyes one by one.
“What kind of fuss is this?”
“Smoke from the capital….”
A similar thing happened when the outer fortress collapsed.
Somehow I don’t have a good feeling.
The noun who was watching the situation from afar on a rock also hardened his complexion, perhaps realizing that the situation was not serious.
“You guys stay here.”
“I can’t.”
“We will follow.”
At that, the old beggar shook his head.
“When you intervene, things get more complicated. First of all, I’ll look at the situation and if I think I need help, then I’ll call again.”
In other words, it means that the kingdom will take care of the affairs of the kingdom.
Deris had no choice but to accept it because he said it from their own point of view.
“…All right.”
Upon hearing the answer, the old man began chanting.
“The light is with me, and nothing can catch up. Blink.”
Enveloped in mana, he disappeared in an instant.
Deungwoldan, who had left the palace and was left at the gymnasium, talked among themselves.
“Shouldn’t we at least go find out what’s going on?”
“You cannot interfere in the affairs of the kingdom. It is clearly wrong for Baybon to step in without asking for help.”
“So you’re saying we’re just going to let go and watch? The smell of blood is wafting from here. Don’t you already know that it’s not a small thing?”
“Even so, we cannot move.”
Just because you’re against it doesn’t mean you don’t want to help.
However, as they were gathered as representatives of each kingdom, it was difficult to handle the aftermath if they were touched carelessly and things spread.
Deris comforted them.
“Calm down. Whatever the case, isn’t it true that there is no justification for us to step forward? If it’s a really big deal, Baybon will take care of it and reach out its hand.”
Deris is one of the few high-ranking nobles left in the gymnasium.
No one vomited at his words like that.
“If that’s exactly what Deris’ son wants.”
“But if things get any bigger than this, I’ll let you down.”
“I won’t stop you then.”
‘As long as we’re all right by then.’
Deris finally swallowed his words behind his back.
Before coming to Baybon Kingdom, he was attacked several times.
At the time, it was said that he was not harmed thanks to someone stepping up, but considering common sense, this was strange enough.
Unbeknownst to others, Deris constantly felt a threat to her life whenever she encountered assailants.
As such, they were so strong that they could not be considered simple bandits, and their momentum was extraordinary.
The one who destroyed them in one stroke existed within the Light Moon Altar.
‘Is it Simon’s daughter? Maybe it’s Cade.’
I don’t know what it is, but neither Simon nor Doton’s children are here.
If the black people of that time came again, would they be able to stop them?
Continuing his thoughts, Deris stroked the sword soldier and tried to ignore the dizzying image.
