Chapter 598
No, it would be chapter 3 by my standards, but anyway.
The conditions for clearing this chapter are simple.
After rescuing Erwen and I, all we have to do is stay in this city until night and that’s it.
By the way, this information was learned through the navigation function of the wizard Gahyun Besilus…
“…I can just know it intuitively. “Can you explain in more detail?”
“Hehe, I’d like to, too… but I can’t express it any further than that with my literary skills.”
“Then answer the question without expressing it. Yes or no only. “You can do that, right?”
“Well, we have to wait until night anyway. “Try it.”
“Are you hearing voices in your head or something?”
“Well, not really.”
“Then you have to look at something to remember it?”
“Not that either. “Every time the location changes, it’s almost like I immediately feel like I know what to do… Of course, sometimes I get that feeling when I get a clue or information.”
“Right.”
Afterwards, as I continued to ask questions as if I was asking twenty questions, I began to understand that this old man could only express it as intuition.
‘It looks like the sixth sense stat is close to being maximized only when attacking cracks.’
If I had to explain it, I think this would be my limit.
Of course, there is no disagreement that it is a convenient ability.
However, my overall opinion was that if you rely only on this, you could end up in a big trouble.
“Anyway… Baron Yandel has a very inquisitive mind, doesn’t he? I was truly surprised. Hehehe….”
Gahyun Besilus said that to me with a kind smile.
To put it literally, it could have been shortened.
‘Will you stop bothering me now?’
Why do people from aristocratic backgrounds like to turn things around like this?
“One last question.”
“…What are you curious about?”
“Do you know what happens if you go out of the city without waiting until night?”
“I don’t think there’s any need to answer yes or no on this one. “Because you can’t go out of the city in the first place.”
“You can’t go out?”
“High-level magic that cannot be seen as ordinary barrier magic surrounds this city. “Others just passed by, but we couldn’t.”
“I see… As promised, this is the end of the questions. thanks. “Now rest.”
“Heh heh…” Maybe
that was what Gahyun wanted to say, but she went to the corner and took a seat without saying anything.
Watching him squat down carefully while holding his waist, I found it a little funny but also questionable.
‘Why does this old man look the same?’
Because of that, even if I try to immerse myself in it, it doesn’t work.
Erwen, who plays the younger sister, has become a child, but why is this grandfather still the same?
‘How did you get to the academy like that in the first place?’
There was an old man in a school uniform among the young students. Didn’t everyone look at him strangely?
I was curious about the first chapter about what happened to Gahyun Besilus, but I decided to ask about this later when I had time.
If I ask you now, I think they’ll be embarrassed… and
it’s not like I don’t have anyone to talk to.
“Archbishop Hesteia.”
“…Yes, Baron. “What’s going on?”
“I just wanted to talk for a moment.”
When he goes to sit next to the archbishop and collapses, the archbishop moves to the side and increases the distance as if he is feeling burdened.
“I don’t have anything more to say about my abilities other than what I said earlier…”
“It doesn’t matter. “I didn’t come here to ask you that.”
“Then…?”
The archbishop glances at me with a questioning look.
I guess he thought he would bother me like I did to Gahyun earlier…
Actually, that’s not what I want to ask.
“There is one thing I would like to ask about the internal affairs of the Leatlas Church.”
“What happens inside our school… “What do you mean?”
As he hinted, the archbishop’s expression immediately hardened.
If I had been the kind old man next door a while ago, now I feel pressured as if I were facing a business partner sitting at the negotiating table.
“First of all… “Just tell me.”
An ambiguous answer, neither a clear acceptance nor a rejection.
Therefore, I started by taking a quick look.
“I am curious about Sven Farab’s position within the church.”
“It is Lord Parav’s position… “
The archbishop, who was speechless for a moment, stared at me.
“It’s hard to understand. “Can you tell me exactly what you meant?”
A look in his eyes that is too ferocious to be called a religious person.
The archbishop didn’t seem to have any intention of answering such a simple question.
So now there is only one way left.
“It seems like other church members, including you, Archbishop, hate and harass Sven Farab. so-.”
“Did Lord Parav say that to the Baron?”
“I didn’t say it, I just meant that’s how it seemed to me.”
“Hmm, is that so?”
The Archbishop seemed to be lost in thought, but then he focused his eyes again, looked at me, and answered,
“It must be an illusion.”
“mistaken…?”
“exactly.”
“But I think—.”
“Even if it seemed that way to the Baron, it was just an illusion. So, I think it would be better for the Baron to focus only on what he has to do.”
“Uh…”
“Either way, it’s an internal matter within the church. “Isn’t that right?”
Although my tone and expression were displeased, I didn’t show it too much and took a step back.
“…Sure.”
The first reason was that I was quite embarrassed because I did not expect the archbishop to react so strongly.
And the second thing is….
‘It’s even more suspicious because they act like it’s disgusting.’
Just seeing that reaction was harvest enough.
If they were just trying to use it as a throwaway card because it was an evil spirit, they wouldn’t have shown such a reaction. ‘
So there was another reason…’
Hmm, then What do you mean?
As I was thinking about it, I saw Gahyun leaning against the wall and glancing at me. It seems he was concerned about the conversation between me and the archbishop.
“Hmm.”
When their eyes meet, Gahyun turns her head with an embarrassed expression and closes her eyes.
‘…Let me get some rest too.’
After that, I went to Erwen’s side and spent some time relaxing.
And how long has it been?
“Lord Vesilus, it’s been a while since the sun set. How much longer must I wait?”
When nothing much happened even after midnight, after some discussion, we left the basement and went up to the first floor.
It was because of Gahyun’s intuition that she needed to go up….
“You were hiding down here! “I’ “ve been looking for it for a while!”
A knight who was wandering alone in an empty house spots us… or, more accurately, Gahyun, and approaches us with open arms.
“Who are you…?”
“Haha! Who are you? “No matter how long it’s been since you’ve been gone, do you still not recognize your friend’s face?”
The knight approached with a voice full of joy and took off his helmet.
“….”
Judging by the expression on his face, Gahyun, who played the role of the older brother, still had no idea who the other person was.
But…
“Uncle. I’ve met that person before. The imperial knight who helped me escape from the village. “That’s the article.”
“Haha, I guess the little girl isn’t that much bigger than she was then?”
Erwen was an unknown knight and a nine-faced person.
And…
“Yandel, it seems like your situation is similar.”
Coincidentally, the spherical one also includes me.
[Escort a girl. [So that the girl can reach her destination.]
Although her face is covered with age, she is the knight who asked me to escort her in Chapter 1.
Of course, this isn’t much of a surprise.
Hiding Erwen in a cave and entrusting the escort service to me, a knight? It is quite possible. The same goes for being friends with Gahyun, who plays her older brother.
The really surprising thing happened next.
“Ah, since this is my first time meeting you, I guess I should introduce myself first.”
The name of the driver said with a cheerful smile.
“Ravision Commelby Lafdonia.”
As soon as the inhabitants of this world heard the name, which would never sound like a person’s name, deathly groans came from everywhere.
“Ah… ”
“Uh… ”
“Um…” ”
…This guy is the Immortal King?
***
Immortal King Labigion III.
He is the one who saved Lapdonia, which was just a territory, from the apocalypse and turned it into the last citadel on the continent.
The village chief belittles his achievements, saying it’s all just about having a ‘good friend’, but the truth that he is a historical figure does not change.
But…
“Everyone, please feel free to call me Ravigion. The enemy of my enemy is my friend. “Aren’t friends of friends also friends?”
On the contrary, this sly look feels very awkward.
That’s because the Immortal King in my head was a monster armed with charisma and giving off an intimidating atmosphere.
“Okay then—.”
“wait for a second! “Can we discuss this for a moment?”
First of all, Gahyun, who was acting as a ‘friend’, could not hide her confused feelings and cut him off. “
It’s a top… I’ll leave the room for a moment.”
“There’s no need for that. “You just have to use magic.”
“Do whatever you want. But it would be better to finish it as quickly as possible. “You never know when the imperial army might attack.”
“Don’t worry… “It will be over soon…”
After receiving the knight’s permission, Gahyun immediately used voice control magic and opened her mouth.
“Do you think it’s all real? “That very thing the author said.. .!”
The first to receive word was the archbishop.
“Maybe we just have the same name. Doesn’t Ravigion III mean that there were also II and I?”
“Ah ah… I did. That’s it…”
I guess it was only then that my head started to turn.
Gahyun muttered to herself as if she were trying to sort out her complicated thoughts.
“I heard that the 1st and 17th. lords of the castle used the name Labigion. Since it is an ancient lineage from before the final citadel was built, its middle name is unknown… but there is a possibility that it is one of those two….” Gahyun’s
words were somehow based on the basis for denying reality. The feeling of being pulled together was strong.
Of course, it was cut without any hesitation at the village chief’s level.
“Calm down Lord Vesilus. “This is an era where witches have already appeared. , so there’s no way it could be Labigion I or II, right?”
“Ah ah…”
“If you’re really curious, ask what your wife’s name is. Well, it wouldn’t mean anything if the author was impersonating the Immortal King.”
“Then, for now, I will disable the voice control magic.”
Just like that, Gahyun turned off the magic.
However, since he was trembling and unable to make eye contact, I opened his mouth on his behalf.
“Ravigion, what is your wife’s name?”
“Ah… Now that I see it, I guess I suspected it could be someone disguised as me?”
“Answer first.”
“Carnon. It’s my wife’s name. Currently, he is taking care of the estate in my place while I am away. “The work you asked for is also in progress.”
“A favor…?”
Gahyun tilted her head as if she had no idea, and the village chief cleared his throat and took notice.
‘Oh, by the way, in the previous chapter, you said that there was a case where things went awry after he showed behavior that was out of the ordinary…’
There was no need to give a sense of discomfort to the Immortal King, who was presumed to be a helper NPC.
“Anyway, let’s take this first.”
“What is this…?”
“Hmm… you are strange today. Isn’t this what you asked for? “Calling me all the way from here.”
“ah…! “That was it, right?”
Gahyun handed over the black jewel with a puzzled expression.
And immediately.
Soooooooo much!
A pitch-black mist begins to see out of the jewel.
I instinctively tried to take a step back due to the sudden phenomenon, but my body did not move.
‘What is this, betrayal?’
Such a possibility also passed through his mind, but fortunately, the Immortal King’s expression was filled with only sincere concern.
“Actually… “I’m still not sure.”
“…?”
“Even if the thing works properly, we arrive at the Great Demon World safely, and we even end up facing the evil spirit.”
A story that started suddenly.
Even without the navigation function given to wizards, I was able to understand it as soon as I heard it.
“There is no guarantee that that evil spirit will grant your wishes.”
This is the mission for the next chapter.
“I’m just going to go before the imperial army comes in. Then, I wish you luck.”
At the end of that voice, the world turned black.
