Episode 95 Clean Up (2)
Rey flinched at that and lay down on the bed.
He relied on the dream he had just had.
‘It’s a dream in modern times… When was the last time you had it?’
Ever since I came here, I’ve cheated occasionally, but that was until I was young.
It’s quite awkward to have a dream now that I haven’t had in over ten years.
Eucliwood woke Ray, who was lost in thought.
“Saint.”
“huh?”
“If it is not rude, may I dare to ask what the inscription you have engraved on his left arm?”
“Oh this?”
Ray raised his left arm with a short sound.
There, along with the black left arm, a pattern like a drawn bow was peeped out.
Come to think of it, there were also patterns like this.
The pattern itself was white, so it was difficult to see because it was covered by the white skin, but when the left arm turned black, the pattern became noticeable.
But when I try to explain this, nothing comes to mind.
The identity of this mark is not even guessed.
Apparently, Ira called this a ‘gift’ and said it was steamed.
Ray tilted his head with a complicated expression and said.
“gift……? steamed?”
Eucliwood asked him back.
“yes?”
“In my left hand… a black flame dragon… no, a high elf dwells.”
“Haa… If you’re going to say nonsense, you seem to be in good shape. Then, leave for the lecture hall right now.”
Ray got up from the bed at Eucliwood’s sighed words.
There is something to be guessed at. Come to the lecture hall? Why is it a lecture hall?
“I can’t believe… I just wanted you to catch the necromancer, and you didn’t mean to explain it, right?”
“you’re right. The people of the other kingdoms do not trust the words of the Holy Kingdom, so you need to explain.”
Ray frowned at Eucliwood’s words.
“These are the real… Eucliwood.”
“Tell me.”
“You still have the dragon’s heart, right? Bring it to the lecture hall.”
“…All right.”
Ray pulled himself up from the bed and put on his clothes.
It’s a very restless life.
I caught the necromancer and stopped the rebels.
After stopping the rebels, the Bone Dragon appears. After that, Zeke’s heart surgery! Besides, don’t you do surgery even in your dreams after you collapse!
Now it’s time for the briefing session!
“Ah, the saint is really dirty, so I can’t eat it.”
Ray grumbled and left the room.
* * *
Quite a few people were seated in the huge auditorium.
The fact that each armor is different and the pattern of the country engraved on it shows that they are people of another country.
Despite the gathering of commander-level figures from each country, the inside of the auditorium was in a commotion.
Klein, who came from the Kingdom of Gleiman, opened his mouth.
“So… Seongguk is claiming that the Holy Son captured the necromancer alone?”
“That’s right. Isn’t the imprisoned necromancer proof of that?”
“No matter how much it is… How can a saint who is still young defeat a necromancer alone?”
“You may not believe it, but it is true.”
“…”
With a sigh, the hall was once again surrounded by noise.
The other kingdoms were quite irritable.
Seong-guk continues to talk nonsense and has asked the saint to appear, but he does not think that the saint will come for an hour.
Therefore, it was not unreasonable for the other kingdoms to become noisy.
Filia, the same as Klein, is the leader of the Glaman Kingdom’s magic corps.
“From what I heard straight away from the battlefield, I heard that the saint captured the necromancer with magic. Do you also agree with Seongguk?”
At her words, Eclay, the representative of the Holy Nation in the auditorium, opened his mouth.
“Even we do not know how a saint who has been endowed with divine power can handle mana. According to the testimonies of the leaders at the site, that is also true.”
“Does the high priest think that makes sense? It’s not enough to catch the undead, the natural enemy of magic, so the saint uses mana.”
One of Eclay’s eyebrows twitched.
There were also people from the Lessian Empire in this place. It knows that it is not good for other kingdoms or castles to reveal a disheveled appearance in front of them.
That’s why not everyone thinks of crossing a certain line.
It was the same with Eclair.
No matter how she felt, she was in a position where she shouldn’t do anything that would harm the kingdom.
“…we don’t know the details either.”
“Isn’t it the role of the Holy Kingdom to find out about that and explain the support to the other kingdoms!”
A loud sound echoed through the auditorium and it started to become noisy.
Inside the auditorium where the noise had been maintained, a young man opened the door and came in.
Anyone could tell that he was a saint by the appearance of his white hair and his robes.
As soon as Eclay saw Ray, he bowed his head slightly and offered a seat.
“thank you.”
Ray also greeted each other, sat down, and looked around the hall.
There are so many unseen faces. Besides, there were a few people who didn’t like themselves because they were so annoyed by it.
Ray opened his mouth.
“So… what are you so curious about?”
At his words, a fat man dressed in a suit opened his mouth.
“I am Count Slaine from Baybon Kingdom. It’s an honor to meet you, my saint.”
“Nice to meet you, Count Slaine.”
“We heard from the Holy Land that the Holy Son captured the Necromancer alone. Is this story true?”
All eyes were on him at his words.
It’s something they’ve all been curious about.
Ray nodded in affirmation at Count Slaine’s words.
“that’s right.”
Hugs and buzzes –
The sound of them whispering and talking to each other resonates throughout the hall.
Isn’t it salty with the Holy Kingdom? He was obviously lying to say he caught the necromancer alone.
A lot of things were said, but Ray didn’t pay much attention.
Filia from the Kingdom of Greyman intervened.
“It’s an honor to meet you, my lord. I am Marquis Filia, the commander of the 2nd Magic Corps of the Kingdom of Greyman.”
Ray looked at Filia, who was greeting her, as if she was surprised.
‘As a woman’s body, Marquis…’
“Nice to meet you too, Marquis Filia.”
“If it’s not rude, would it be all right if I ask you a question?”
“We are here to ask questions, right? Ask anything.”
“… I heard that the saint claimed that the saint captured the necromancer with magic.”
“That’s right too.”
“How the hell…!”
Philia, who was about to raise her voice at Ray’s calm affirmation, hurriedly covered her mouth.
In the midst of such a conversation, the Lessian Empire, which had been listening quietly until now, moved.
“I am Gregory of the Lessian Empire. Nice to meet you, saint.”
“I am Selena of the Lessian Empire. It is an honor to meet you, my saint.”
A stout man with a shaggy beard and a woman with long hair and a luxurious robe.
Looking at them taking an active stance, whether they were trying to participate in the conversation in earnest, the commanders of the other kingdoms kept their mouths shut.
There was no one who didn’t know them in this place.
A sword master called Gonggeom (恐劍) and a woman who entered the 6th circle as the youngest.
Even in the Lessian Empire, it was possible to see how big of a problem it was now that fewer than 10 sword masters came out as reinforcements.
Ray looked at them.
“nice to meet you.”
“ha ha ha. It seems that the saint does not like formal greetings very much.”
“I don’t hate it, but I don’t like it either.”
At Ray’s direct words, Gregory gave up talking back.
“The saint said he caught the necromancer alone. If so, can you show me the proof?”
“evidence?”
Ray tilted his head.
The conversation was received by Selena, who was standing next to Gregory.
“We have come here as reinforcements to block the dangers in the Holy Land and on all continents. This is not just a matter of the castle nation, but a threat to the entire continent. As with the Lessian Empire, wouldn’t the other kingdoms withdraw safely only when there is clear evidence?”
“You can see the proof of that by looking at the necromancer, right?”
“That doesn’t prove that the saint captured the necromancer alone.”
When Ray heard it, he was stunned.
He speaks plausibly in words, but in the end, isn’t it that he judges himself as a dangerous species for catching the necromancer alone?
Isn’t it the tone of saying that since I’m afraid of a saint who can catch a necromancer alone, I’ll make a clear decision here and consider eliminating it.
Ray looked at them and let out a cold laugh.
“Whether I caught the undead alone or together, what does that have to do with your country?”
“Getting accurate information is a matter not only for us but also for other kingdoms. Just because Seongguk said so, if you back down like this, you don’t know how this problem will come to you in the future.”
“So you want me to show you the proof?”
“That’s right.”
The Lessian Empire did not avert their eyes as they faced Ray, as if they had no intention of backing down.
It was the same with other kingdoms.
He seems to be careful not to spark sparks, but if Seong-guk tries to ignore this issue, he will turn on the light in his eyes and argue.
Ray narrowed his eyes.
After saving a drowning man, he is angry at me for giving me his bundle.
Anyway, if the Holy Kingdom perishes, the Lessian Empire perishes as well. The only difference is whether it is fast or slow.
Rather, from their point of view, saving the holy kingdom, the natural enemy of black magic, should be the top priority.
However, on the subject of not even arriving when the battle actually took place, don’t you feel the spirit of a war hero in the attitude you are showing now?
Ray got up from his seat.
“I want you to show me the evidence…”
He approached Gregory with a cold expression.
Ray immediately created a sword with mana and lunged at Gregory.
Gregory also quickly pulled out the sword from his waist, as if he had noticed the saint’s actions.
However, before Gregory’s sword could be drawn out, Ray’s sword touched Gregory’s neck.
The noisy hall quickly became quiet.
Ray said slowly putting away his sword.
“Is this evidence?”
Selena glared at Ray as Gregory looked up in disbelief.
“…Is this the official position the Holy Kingdom takes toward the Lessian Empire?”
At that, Ray laughed at her.
“Official position? Interesting, Eucliwood.”
At Ray’s call, the front door opened and Euclid brought something wrapped in cloth.
Ray took it and untied the cloth on the platform.
There, I saw a cold heart.
A muffled noise arose from several places.
It was because the fluttering demonic energy was gushing out of the heart, which was larger than the head of an adult.
“As you can see from Magi, this is the heart of the Bone Dragon.”
The murmur grew louder at Ray’s words.
