Episode 82

Usually, the knights only accept quests related to witchcraft, and when they finish safely, they receive a reward.

Of course, since the Witchbeast was an enemy of the Allain Kingdom, it should have been seen as a common enemy for the knights.

However, even in the midst of this, the knights were weighing their own interests, and there were times when they quarreled with each other over the beast.

In order to prevent such conflicts and maximize profits, the knights formed an alliance.

‘I don’t need a harness.’

If Harnette is dead before the beginning of the story, you don’t have to intervene with the main character.

It meant that even if you didn’t have a harness, you could do well on your own.

‘Surprisingly, it may not have anything to do with the magic sword.’

At first, I was sure that the sign Hanette had shown would lead to communion with the demonic sword.

However, the rapport did not come true, and Hannett was getting stronger and stronger.

Maybe that sign should be seen as a characteristic that only Hannett has.

‘I just keep Hanette next to me and watch the main character.’

As a perfect bystander and facilitator, you just need to strike a balance.

It was enough just to form an alliance with the protagonist’s knights.

I’ll lead the knights without much trouble, and depending on the situation, I’ll be able to step up whenever needed.

In the process, his knights would also make achievements little by little.

‘Even if there is a variable… I can solve it with the white apostle.’

Enrite had to observe the main character and induce growth, so he did not directly go into battle.

In addition, in order to hide the fact that he was a demonic sword, he had no choice but to concentrate on treatment as a paladin.

Of course, when the main character was in danger, he would reveal his identity and actively fight.

‘Will they move according to the original contents?’

They were powerful and menacing beings, but they had been treated as neutral beasts because they did not cross over the kingdom of Alain.

The Immortal King, one of the three great demon kings, was reluctant to even fight demon beasts, let alone humans.

The Shadow Dragon, one of the four major disasters, was just collecting treasures and hiding them in the world of shadows.

‘Perhaps the Shadow Dragon will appear first… … .’

Five of the seven demonic swords appeared in this world.

He had a demonic sword of darkness, Enrite had a demonic sword of light, and the protagonist had a demonic sword of lightning.

The Narak King has been using the demonic sword of the earth as a weapon, and the Shadow Dragon has been keeping the demonic sword of the wind as a treasure.

‘I can’t bring the demonic sword of the earth, so I have no choice but to aim for another demonic sword.’

Even the Shadow Dragon couldn’t get the upper hand against the Narak King.

As a result, they turn their eyes to the weaker humans and target the protagonist and Enrite.

In addition, if he joined temporarily, he would become even more obsessed with the gathering of the three demonic swords.

‘What can I do with acid rain? How it will affect the shadow dragon… … .’

“No, why don’t we just go?”

“… He said he was going.”

“that person… No, I don’t think I’ll be able to say anything if I meet Cettinos Quasar.”

“Then don’t go as I said… … .”

“Can I still go? Didn’t you tell me to come?”

“… … .”

Shion kept her mouth shut and stared blankly at Hanette.

Hannette couldn’t make a decision and was repeating the same thoughts.

He must have taken the mistake he made with Enrite too seriously.

“Should I not go? no, can i go? ugh… … .”

“Your sister is having a hard time too. Can I go or not?”

“You think I’m doing this because I don’t know? It happened because of you!”

“Yeah, I have to blame myself. This is how you would be like a sister.”

Shion accepts it calmly and shakes his head.

It was time to start blaming others and getting annoyed.

Now, whatever he said would be his fault, and if he had to argue, it would only lead to an argument.

“I just wanted you to tell me and leave! Why did the white apostle cover his face?”

“Now they’re even mentioning other people.”

“Do you know how I feel? I told Cettinos Quasar that she was!”

“You thought you were an aristocrat or a commoner? The royal family can’t come all the way here. It is impossible for the Cetinos Quasar to hide its identity.”

“Sigh… … .”

Harnette stood up in deep resignation.

I couldn’t turn back now, and only a confused mind swirls.

No matter how many times he blamed others, his own faults did not disappear.

But it was so confusing that even the words were jumping out of their own way.

“Why don’t you think about it again tomorrow? You will feel better after sleeping.”

“… Is that so?”

“Aren’t we in a foreign country right now? The environment has changed a lot, and you never know when a battle will happen. My body couldn’t adapt, so I might have become a little sensitive.”

“It could be.”

Hannette is puzzled and lays down again.

Zion lightly gets up from her seat and heads toward the lampstand.

“Turn off the lights, good night.”

“uh… Sleep well too.”

Shion turned off the lamp and lay down on the bed.

I didn’t really sleep, and I wondered if I was becoming conscious of Hannett.

“sister.”

“… Why are you calling me?”

“Just sleep. Don’t think about anything else.”

“How do you know what I think?”

“I can’t know. Sleep comfortably because I will take care of it.”

“How are you going to take responsibility?”

“You have to get down on your knees and beg.”

“Huh! Are you saying that now?”

“I have to carry everything. Because it is my partner.”

“If you can’t speak… … .”

Hannette cleared her mind and closed her eyes.

My troubled mind had suddenly calmed down.

‘The little boy is more mature than me. I feel like I’m 3 years younger… … .’

* * *

Nakmor Castle, the barracks of the Sillaz Knights.

Saeran dismissed all the knights and prepared a place with Enrite.

Secret stories would come and go, so I had to prepare in advance.

However, since he hadn’t told me about the purpose of summoning him yet, I wondered if he was a bit nervous.

“Have you both met?”

“We chatted for a while.”

“… How was it?”

“Shion Reggiard was still the same. Harnette Adelaira… … .”

Enritte recalls what happened yesterday and quickly shakes it off.

An unexpected situation occurred, and I was forced to reveal my identity.

Since they were twisted from the first meeting, it could be difficult to conclude an alliance.

“Did something bad happen?”

“There was a little misunderstanding.”

“uh… Did you finish well?”

“I’ve cleared up the misunderstanding… I don’t know what will happen.”

Saeran tried to ask more, but soon turned his head.

The Knights of Lihines have been attracting attention from many people.

He was from a different background, and his skills were quite outstanding.

Of course, because the Setinos Quasar was in his Knights, the Lihines Knights would also recognize its value.

“It will be fine. You said you revealed your identity?”

“That’s why I said I didn’t know. I can do something that didn’t exist, but the other side may not be able to do that. If you’re uncomfortable with each other, you can’t form an alliance.”

“You said you would come, didn’t you?”

“I can’t refuse even because of me.”

“ah… Yes. Setinos Quasar asked to meet, but I can’t refuse.”

Setinos Quasar was a title that only five people in the Alain Kingdom could have.

The current king was also a Setinos quasar, and he was also a being that he looked up to regardless of social status.

Considering the reputation that other Cetinos quasars have, even royalty could not carelessly ignore it.

“I tried to postpone it until later, but… It shouldn’t be. You may not get this opportunity later.”

“Well… Could it be delayed? Then we can go find it.”

“Now and then will not be the same. Think of your knights. It must have changed a lot from a few months ago.”

“… … .”

Saeran kept his mouth shut and understood the words belatedly.

Just as his Knights Templar was recognized within a short period of time, the Knights of Lihines could have gone through a similar process.

Of course, there were only two people, but it was composed of quite talented people, so it was expected that somehow the results would come out.

In addition, if the Knights were recruited later, wouldn’t the Lihines Knights naturally expand their position?

‘You must not miss it.’

Enrite was going to make an alliance with Shion Reggieard at all costs.

Because he was a human entangled in fate and was able to handle acid rain.

I thought that no one other than that human would be able to do it, but Shion Regiard did a miracle.

‘I see hope. You can annihilate demons and dragons… … .’

Knights in armor appear out of nowhere and approach the barracks.

Enrite and Seran recognized the two and rose from their seats.

“Did you sleep well last night?”

“Yes, thanks to your consideration, I was able to sleep comfortably.”

Zion left the knights and entered the barracks.

Hannette cautiously avoided Enrite’s gaze while politely bowing.

“I’m sorry I don’t have anything else to offer.”

“No, you can’t afford luxury on the front lines.”

As everyone sat down, there was silence for a moment.

Enrite pondered for a moment, then spoke first.

“Both of you are busy, so I’ll keep it brief. Now I’m joining the Sillays Knights. The person next to me is the leader of the Sillays Knights.”

“Hello, my name is Seran Sillays, who is in charge of the Sillays Knights.”

“… … .”

As soon as Hannette saw Saeran, she recalled the memory of that time.

It was the young man who encouraged him to join the Knights when he was in the capital.

It was so bold and impressive that I couldn’t forget it.

“Have you seen me?”

“Yes… Yo. At that time, you invited me to join the Knights… Yo?”

Hannette noticed and awkwardly respected her.

Shion quietly peeks at her while hiding her smile.

“Did something like that happen?”

“Yes, before I met the White Apostle, I invited him.”

“I heard about it from the deputy knight commander. I seem to remember something now.”

Enrite looks at Shion and Hanette alternately with doubts.

The three were bizarrely and vaguely intertwined.

Shouldn’t this also be seen as inevitable and fate?

“Do you know about the Sillays Knights?”

“I heard a little bit while I was in Terroden Castle. I know it’s quite famous around here.”

“There may be lies in what you hear, but most of them are close to the truth. In my name and title, I will tell you that the Sillays Knights will grow even more than they do now.”

From those words, Shion recognized Enrite’s intentions.

Apparently, Enrite seemed to be thinking the same thing as herself.

“Today, I would like to make a proposal to the Knights Commander of Lihines. Would you like to form an alliance with the Sillaz Knights?”

Enrite says her true purpose and meets Shion’s gaze.

Shion quickly organizes his thoughts and gives a calm answer.

“… First of all, I’ll have to see the Sillay Knights fighting. Just because Cardinal Selene is present, we cannot unconditionally form an alliance.”
