Chapter 860 – Hero’s Gaze Preliminary Skirmish.
The king of ghost monsters.
Even with that grandiose modifier, Lena was not frightened.
First of all, the spirit child I spoke to had excellent abilities as a spirit, but the intelligence was at the level of a child, and human words were on the weak side.
That’s why Lena judged the situation based on the emotions she felt from him rather than the spirit’s words.
Judging by that, either the mysterious woman in front of me was hostile, or she didn’t intend to do anything.
I just found Lena by chance and came to say hello to her.
Such a light impression was strong.
The spirit just felt the energy of the king of ghost monsters and told them to avoid it in case something happened.
‘But. King of ghost monsters. In other words, the monster king…’
Lena contrasted her with what Dre said of her, her impression of ‘the girl in the white dress’.
…A completely different person.
‘Who is it?’
A person related to the Kaiju.
Maybe. There was no doubt that he was a human belonging to the Demonic Demonstration.
‘…A monster.’
Then, reminding her of her deer, who belonged to the Hart family and was getting a lot of attention from the teacher these days, Lena openly asked who you were.
“Are you ignoring the Knights of the Holy Tree now?”
…I was going to ask.
The Commander of the Knights of the Sacred Tree glared at the unidentified woman.
“What are you guys up to?!”
Booming voice.
The woman in her traditional garb frowned at her in annoyance.
It wasn’t just her, but the two girls, including Lena.
The leader of the Knights of the Sacred Tree trembled at the eyes that seemed to be looking at an idiot who knew that if he had a loud voice, he would win.
In fact, the Holy Tree Knights weren’t usually this rude.
Although they were evaluated as having a high nose and arrogance because they were proud of their skills, they were not the ones who started a fight or did unfair things.
However, there was something that made them lose their reason, but it was Prince Athlone.
They felt that insulting the ‘genius’, their deeply infatuated lord, was even more repugnant than insulting themselves.
To the point where he threw everything away from the opposite sex and acted tough.
The girl responded calmly to the intimidation of the Knights, who radiated great anger.
“Ah. I’m a priest.”
“Priests…?”
If it was a priest, you could get a protest from the Holy Kingdom if you touched it for nothing.
I wouldn’t know normally, but I have to be careful now that Ka-woon warned me.
…As. The leader, whom Aslon had insulted, was now invisible.
“A priest. Tell me which kingdom you belong to as a priest.”
“Hmm.”
The woman looked at the sky as if she was taking her time off, and the knight commander’s anger only grew.
‘These damn things…!’
In the Suruta Empire, even a single word made the residents crawl on their own.
What kind of position are the Seven Knights of Suruta and their leader?
They are the pinnacle of the Knights Order that anyone who possesses a weapon can dream of joining.
The steps to becoming an ordinary knight in this knight order, which exists in only seven in the vast Suruta Empire, are very difficult.
Usually, the process to become a knight is a squire called apprenticeship, or an apprentice knight. And while promotion is made in the order of rank knight, Suruta went through a more difficult process than that.
Apprentice Squire〉 Squire〉 Apprentice Knight〉 Knight.
Not only are the grades more divided, but you have to prove your skills by accumulating countless hardships and experience, that is, you can only be promoted if you show your performance.
Among those recognized knights, the tens of seals, the centenary, etc., Which determine how many troops can be mobilized…
The culmination of all of them is the leader of the knights.
It took desperate effort and perseverance to reach this position.
Being in this position was worthwhile, and everyone feared and praised him.
‘I thought I was never in a position to be ignored by commoners, but are ordinary people and pseudo-believers ignoring me?’
It seemed that the leader of the knights was particularly grumpy, but it was only unusual around Dre, and most of the ranks corresponding to nobles were like this.
Nelf, who was watching him, also felt stuffy.
There was no way that this intelligent woman could not have known that the leader of Suruta’s knights was a very high position.
But, is the leader of the knights a great number?
Do you even know who you are touching and who is behind it?
Dreda.
That is Dre, the sword of madness.
The knights of Suruta and the swordsman who chews on everything are also Drey who laughs in order to be friendly.
A man without limits who annihilated the nobles of Sers, whom even the king had not touched.
What about Lena?
He is a rare elemental magician whose name will surely remain in history as he commands hundreds of millions and billions of spirits.
Originally, Lena intended to become her Empire, but she has become so strong that she is now seriously considering the Igula rank as well.
Although now she is not well-known for being overshadowed by Dre, this girl will surely become a tycoon later.
What if you’re not a giant?
If it was her spirit corps, she would be able to disassemble the Knights of Suruta just as ridiculously.
Unfortunately, Lena was only known as a beautiful and highly talented elementalist, but her name was not imprinted on the world.
Nelph wanted to tell Dre’s name and leave, but she couldn’t open her mouth because Lena had whispered through her spirit not to tell her teacher’s name.
The reason Lena said was that she didn’t want to bother the teacher with things like this.
Nelf had no choice but to use the next best option.
She glanced at Ixia and looked at the leader of her knights, sighing.
“I didn’t know he was the prince earlier. He admits that we were rude.”
The knight commander hesitated a little at the polite and dignified tone.
“But this is not Suruta, and the prince did not reveal his identity. There is no reason to comply with the captain’s coercive request.”
It made sense.
In the first place, what kind of influence are you trying to exert outside of Suruta?
The captain of the knights did not know the details of the situation, and hearing what he had just said made his head cool a bit.
However, the fact that Prince Athlone, the respected lord he knew or did not know, was insulted did not change.
“…I didn’t say anything to you.”
The leader also didn’t want to cause friction with the Prunar Academy students.
“Hey. I’m talking to that commoner.”
“I am also a commoner.”
Nelph narrowed his eyes in displeasure.
That coercive tone and sense of authority.
It reminded me of the person who gave birth to me, whom I hate very much but cannot forget.
The knight commander had a fishy smile on his lips.
‘He has dignity for a commoner.’
But that’s all.
Whether you were an academy student or not, you thought you no longer needed to be polite as long as you were a commoner.
“Hello… I can’t understand you when I say nice things?”
Nelf also put aside his respect and sighed openly.
“Whoa. Did the prince tell you to bring us?”
“…”
Never had that
In fact, the leader acted impulsively because he thought that the prince he respected had been humiliated in the face of various stresses, so there was no proper justification.
But authority is everything.
The captain decided to force himself.
The unfamiliar situation and emotions of ignorance and rebellion, which he experienced for the first time, made him like a child.
“The captain of the knights of the Great Suruta Empire said. Do you dare to ask why?”
A good voice naturally did not come out of Nelf’s mouth due to his ridiculously coercive attitude.
“Yes. Knight Commander. It’s a great position. But is it a position worthy of intimidating the heir of a teenage family?”
A teenage family?
The knight commander was taken aback.
Aside from the two girls who turned out to be commoners, all that was left was… That proud-looking girl.
“Heir to the Boyd family. This is Ixia Boyd.”
“…”
Even Boyd?
A demon in human form. Euclid Boyd. You mean the family with the head of the back world?
Ixia shut his mouth with a cold, stiff face and glared at the knight commander.
In reality, he stared in bewilderment at Nelf’s words, but his face was enough to embarrass the leader.
However, the fight has already begun.
The captain smiled bitterly and said.
“Hmph. What about the teenage family? The subject of begging from our Suruta.”
“I beg your pardon?”
Ixia flared up in anger.
Naturally, Nelf was also angry.
She has long been from the teenage family, Huai-Katsu, and she criticizes the teenage family for being old-fashioned, but it hurts her stomach when people curse at her.
“That’s a difficult statement to ignore. Wasn’t Suruta the one who suddenly intervened to support the teenage family’s attempt to hold a hero’s gaze on their own in the first place?”
“What? Are you insulting the Suruta Empire now?”
Sreung!
Chaeeng!
The knights next to them pulled out their swords as if responding to the leader’s anger.
The situation was different from usual in various ways, such as the commoners daring to open their eyes even though they were already tired from the expedition.
Anger that the respected prince was insulted hindered their judgment, and it was a natural behavior for them, who were in a position of absolute power on a daily basis.
Also, they absolutely believed that the actions of their leader, the Knight Commander, were right.
“Haaaaa…”
Nelf sighed.
The knight commander who keeps accusing me of insulting me.
Crowds begin to gather one by one.
His head began to throb, and Nelf pressed his forehead.
Even if it wasn’t so, there are many members of the royal family on this street right now.
Hearing this commotion, and knowing the identities of the nelps, he might approach them.
It was a specification to get involved in political affairs.
“In the first place, what a teenage family is like. A unique Ryunar? That’s nothing compared to our Suruta’s unique mana breathing method.”
It was right after he spit out words dripping with pride as he recalled the breathing techniques each of the seven knights had.
“Excuse me.”
A girl who has been forgotten.
King of ghost monsters.
She said that she felt the energy of her evil spirit.
Lena, who had been watching all along, stepped out.
“It’s getting annoying. Shall we clean it up and talk about it?”
“What…”
The moment Lena grimaces and yells at the captain of the knights for what he said to us.
Suddenly.
The girl was right in front of her.
That beautiful face was so close that her mouth could touch it…
“Come on. Look into my eyes.”
“…”
As the leader said, he looked into the woman’s eyes.
Eyes that seem to be sucked in.
I felt a strange sensation as if countless sprays of water were rising everywhere, and…
Quaang-!!
A five-color color that pushes away the girl.
The unidentified girl who was pushed aside slowly turned her back.
“I was trying to help.”
“What are you trying to do?”
Lena said fiercely.
I don’t know what she was trying to do now, but it was never normal.
The woman in front of me is more dangerous than all the knights put together.
Lena instinctively judged and raised her elemental power.
Her girl saw her blazing elemental power, which could only be seen in her own eyes, and her eyes lit up, then drew a curve in her mouth.
“Ahaha. Of course, the outside is fun. There are monsters like you.”
“Outside…?”
Increasingly dubious
A feeling of something unpleasant.
And…
Sereung!!
Wooooong!!
“These guys! They’re using witchcraft!”
When the knight commander came to his senses and pulled the sword steel out of the sword, there was a sound like an explosion.
A green sword that stretches like a tree branch.
Rena swallowed her breath at the majesty of the product of skill, which could be said to be the badge of the Knights of the Torch.
The knight commander smiled inwardly.
‘Cancer. By the way Whatever it is, it’s a young bitch after all’
As long as you show force, they will follow you on their own.
What.
Even so, I had no intention of behaving more harshly with such a child than was necessary.
She thought that all she could do was put pressure on her and drag her to the prince and make him commit a mortal sin.
But Lena’s gaze was not on him.
Her gaze is behind her back.
Far away…
“Hey.”
To that voice.
Nelf, Ixia. Lena.
And she even slightly stiffened her body to the unidentified girl.
“…Hey?”
Did you say it to me
The knight commander clicked his tongue in amazement.
The knights each drew their swords and spewed sword steel.
Except for just three.
Those three were apprentice servants who were severely injured and scolded.
Pale and shivering, they saw the man who had appeared before they knew it.
The clothes look expensive, but they are worn roughly, and the wrinkles are severe.
Black hair.
And ominous eyes, as if dead.
He was a strange man in many ways.
The leader of the knights narrowed his eyes… And sweat broke out all over his body.
This place. Before coming to Sers.
A face I knew from a long time ago.
A sword chosen by a god who goes beyond heroic tales of slaying dragons, slaying demon lords, and even subduing kaiju, and writing a true hero and myth.
‘Yeah, acne…!’
Instructor at Prunar Academy.
He stood in front of Lena with an expressionless face.
“What are you?”
It was a very disrespectful tone, but the captain couldn’t say anything.
Gariun’s words immediately came to mind.
A warning to be prepared if something goes wrong.
The Commander of the Knights of the Sacred Tree collected his thoughts and said.
“…The child behind you has disrespected our prince.”
“What is my seed?”
The whole knights flinched.
My seed…?
‘…Oops…!’
Why did you come to mind now?
Rumor has it that there is an elemental sage with ridiculous talent and beauty next to the sword of mad flame.
Then Nelf stepped out.
“Looks like there was a misunderstanding.”
It was meant to end well, and the general manager quickly caught it.
“Oops, I’m sorry. Mad flame. I didn’t even know that I was your servant and I was disrespectful.”
It was a very humble attitude for the fiery personality of the commander of the Holy Tree Knights.
I don’t know if it’s someone else, but I can’t get mad.
Gariun and the King of the Caulking Tree. He’s a man who shows interest in even the empress.
The pinnacle of one knightly order, he is a titan that even he cannot match.
If it was only him and the knights, it would surely be a nuisance to Prince Athlone.
More than anything. Strong.
He thought it was only a rumor, but when he had it in front of him, he realized what a monster he was.
The knight commander apologized, but felt uneasy.
‘They say he’s crazy.’
Rumors say that he has committed all sorts of disrespect to the King of the King, but how far are the rumors true?
Even so, he never thought he would do something in the presence of all the Knights of the Torch.
Sure enough, Dredo frowned at his opponent when he came out politely, but he said nothing more.
The leader said the momentum.
“I’m Cho, the leader of the Knights of the Holy Tree…”
The moment I heard the name of the Holy Tree Knights.
Before the leader even introduced their names, Dre’s eyes swept over the knights, to be exact, the three he saw yesterday.
And.
Poop!!
“Cool…”
The leader hesitated backwards with incomprehensible eyes.
Everyone around them had their mouths wide open.
Dre said, very slowly shaking off the hand he had swung at the commander’s stomach.
“You’re the leader of the Suruta Knights, what are you saying, you idiot.”
“…”
Cold sweat ran down the knight commander’s face.
It was a big deal.
‘You’re really crazy…!’
