Chapter 1530 – 12. Faced With Crisis.

Talk talk talk

A slender finger tapped her red lips like a cherry.

Hehe.”

A bright smile began to flow from between her straight teeth.

“Daughter, what are you laughing at?”

At that time, the middle-aged man next to him, Chief Hudson, asked curiously.

“Because something like that happened.”

Her daughter, Leila, had a bright smile like a spring flower.

“Hmm… It’s unexpected, I thought you’d be sullen because that Death Knight was leaving.”

It was unexpected.

I thought he would be sullen at the news that he had left, but he was smiling so much.

‘That’s also by touching the lips for no reason… On the lips… Something… Ah!’

In an instant, the worst assumptions flashed through my mind.

This is the worst family that a father can’t tolerate.

“..Layla…Sol…Couldn’t…You..Are you not?”

Hudson asked her in her quivering tone.

“What?”

“Didn’t something happen with that Death Knight? Please say no.”

“Father, the Death Knight guy, to the hero who saved the village.”

“I am deeply grateful for the grace that saved the village, but this father has no intention of handing over his lovely daughter!”

Hudson raised his voice in protest.

She was a lovely daughter who wouldn’t hurt to put it in her eyes.

She’s not a Death Knight, but even a Death Knight’s widow can’t pass it up.

“Ah, it’s too early. I’ve tried hard, but it hasn’t come over yet?”

“What are you missing? Why don’t you come over to my daughter? What’s wrong with my daughter! You son of a bitch!”

“Gojaranyo! Everything about our warrior is perfect! He’s good at night!”

“How do you know that! I can’t… I can’t… I actually checked… Ahh!”

Hudson couldn’t finish his words and let out a scream.

It was because I suddenly felt an excruciating pain in my shin.

“What are you talking to your daughter! You stupid daddy!”

The one responsible for kicking her in the shin, Leila, raised her voice, blushing.

“…Ugh… I’m worried about you…”

“Worry for nothing! You’re too overprotective!”

“What’s wrong with being overprotective of your beloved daughter!”

“It’s a problem! It’s so extreme! I’m already 22!”

“It’s okay to have polar opposites! No matter how old you are, you’re a small and cute baby bird to me!”

“I don’t want to live as Daddy’s baby bird! I want to be a mother bird with my own nest!”

“Uh…Mother bird!? As expected, there’s something! There is!”

“Yes, there is! Totally there!”

“Don’t lie! My daughter can’t do that!”

“Why did you ask if you wouldn’t believe it in the first place!”

“That’s what a father’s love is!”

“I don’t need a pot-bellied bald man’s sloppy love!”

“This guy! Making fun of his physical flaws is a personal attack! How could he say something like that! Besides, I didn’t tell anyone! He’s not bald, his forehead is wider and his hair is thinner than when he was younger!”

“That’s what baldness is all about.”

“You bastard!!!”

Hudson let out a furious roar.

“What!”

Leila stood up as if she would not lose.

So the two women began to quarrel as usual.

Jump

Then, suddenly, the door burst open.

The two women who were arguing immediately turned their heads.

And could see

“Heh uh uh… Uh uh… Uh uh uh… Uh uh…”

I can see Donovan, the youth president who is breathing heavily.

“…Somehow…I think you’ve been through situations like this before?”

“Me too…It feels like déjà vu…But I’m not in a good mood…I think something unsettling is about to happen.”

Leila made an anxious expression.

It was because the bad feeling had passed.

“Couldn’t it be that, weren’t you already unhappy enough? No, no, no.”

Hudson waved his hand and tried to deny it.

However, his expression was not bright.

He, too, feels insecure, just like Leila.

“It’s a big deal!!! The Holy Ten Knights of the Holy Empire have appeared in town!”

Donovan, who took a deep breath, raised his voice as if shouting.

“…Why do bad premonitions always come true?”

“…Yes, damn it.”

Hudson raised his eyebrows and cursed.

******

Haha, nice to meet you~, I am Hudson, the chief of this peaceful little town, Heltant~ To be able to welcome the heroes of the empire that shakes the continent… It’s an honor… It’s an honor again~”

Hudson said hello with a friendly smile.

“Nice to meet you, Commander of the Holy Cross, I am Agnes.”

The leader of the Knights of the Holy Cross, Agnes, opened his mouth in a polite tone.

“Oh, I was surprised, I thought that the leader of the Order of the Holy Cross, full of prestige, would be such a young and beautiful woman.”

Contrary to the expectation that she would be sweaty and rambunctious, the commander of the Holy Cross, Agnes, was a very young and beautiful woman.

I couldn’t help but feel a sense of surprise.

“The word ‘female’ surprised me sounds quite discriminatory. It’s as if the knight commander must be a man.”

Agnes twitched her eyebrows and opened her mouth.

The nuance that the leader of the knights must be a man, of course, went against the planting.

“I’m sorry…I’m sorry…I didn’t learn the original and I’m ignorant…I didn’t think too much…I just spit it out…”

Hudson bowed his head and apologized.

“Well, it’s okay, it’s not your fault that you didn’t learn, it’s your birth. How can I blame you? I’ll move on.”

“Aigoo, the Knight Commander is indeed a very merciful person.”

Hudson opened his mouth in a tone that seemed thrilled.

‘…A bitchy bitch.’

Of course, on the inside, I cursed endlessly.

“I have a few more questions to ask you.”

“Oh, ask me anything! I’ll do my best to answer what I know.

“Thank you for your cooperation, Chief.”

Agnes continued her words in a calm tone.

“Then I ask, where is Inquisitor Zaeloth?”

Her eyes shone sharply.

Wince

Her body trembled and trembled at the sight of her fierce eyes.

‘Let’s calm down..Really…If you show it…No…If you show it…’

But she suppressed her agitation as best she could.

This is a very important turning point.

Depending on the answer, the fate of the village will be decided.

You have to keep your composure.

To protect the beloved Hellent

“..Zaelos…He is not currently in town.”

“You’re not in the village…Does that mean you’ve returned to the Holy Land?”

“No, it isn’t.”

Hudson shook his head.

“Then where the hell did you go?”

Agnes made a suspicious expression.

In general, the Heretic Questioner stays in the village until the temple is built after a heresy judgment is made, spreads the doctrine, and if it is not a heresy, immediately returns to the Holy Land.

That’s why I couldn’t help but wonder.

Since the helmet did not apply in either case,

“Currently, Mr. Zaelos is chasing after a ferociously powerful being of the reverse sky.”

“The existence of reverse heaven?”

In an instant, Agnes’s pupils expanded infinitely.

He felt puzzled by the unexpected remark.

“Whoa… The story seems to be getting longer… Is that okay?”

Hudson let out a light sigh and opened his mouth.

“I will listen.”

Agnes shook his head and stared straight at him.

As if to tell me more

“So… This is… How it happened…”

Soon after, Hudson began to recite in a calm tone.

The optimal scenario that Layra and I reviewed and put together many times.
.
.
.

“…That’s how it happened.”

After the explanation, Hudson began to notice.

This was the reason why I wondered if the scenario I put together would have worked.

“There are a few things I’m curious about.”

“Tell me, I will do my best to answer to the best of my knowledge.”

“For now, I can’t believe that they’re tracking down a single Death Knight without being able to annihilate it. Zaeloth’s Turn Undead should be enough to oxidize it to dust.”

Although it was a powerful high-ranking undead, it was a very inferior being compared to the Heretic Questioner, Zaelos.

I had doubts that he was chasing him without being able to destroy it all at once.

“About that, Zaelos-sama himself said… That he’s a different being from a normal Death Knight, and maybe he’s the new Four Heavenly Kings who have inherited the power of the Demon King.”

“Are you talking about just a Death Knight?”

“To be called a normal Death Knight… There were many strange things… He spoke fluently like a human… He summoned a strange chain… And restrained Lord Zaelos’ wings. .”

“Wings!? Are you saying that Zaeloth took out the wings?”

As if surprised, Agnes asked back with his eyes wide open.

“That’s right, you spread six pairs of large wings and pressed the Death Knight… So… The Death Knight, who felt a sense of crisis, let go of the line.”

“I can’t believe it… Even though Zaeloth… Even descended… It couldn’t be annihilated.”

“The priest also said that… I can’t believe it… He must be from the Demon King’s family.”

“…If even Zaelos, who had definitely descended, could not be helped, then… That would not be impossible.”

Agnes shook his head in agreement.

Advent is a great miracle that borrows some of the divine power.

There was no choice but to be the Four Heavenly Kings or the highest level monsters that could handle the miracle.

“It may be a serious matter that needs to be reported to the Holy Land right away.
Chief, if what you say is true.”

Agnes stared at Hudson with cold eyes, completely devoid of emotion, and opened his mouth.

“…Of course, there is no lie at all. Captain, how dare I tell a lie!?”

Hudson was appalled and claimed innocence.

I’m so good at lying

There was no awkwardness in that expression at all.

“I want to believe the chief too, but it’s a job because it’s a job… I can’t trust people’s words without solid evidence.”

Agnes continued in a calm tone.

“So I would like you to show me proof, even if Zaelos himself went in pursuit, he would have left a few black priests behind… So I would like you to guide them..”

“That’s… The black priests… All of them were in the Death Knight’s sword.. They had an eternal rest.”

“You mean everything?”

“Yes, everything.”

“I have my doubts, that a Death Knight would kill all the Black Priests in the presence of Zaeloth.”

“That… It was a situation that happened unconsciously… So it seems that I couldn’t properly deal with everything.”

“Are you saying that Advent was only used after all the Black Priests were dead?”

“…Yes…I certainly did.”

“I don’t understand, the Zaelos I know are arrogant, but not so stupid.”

Agnes stared at him suspiciously.

Gurgling gurgling

Cold sweat began to trickle down Hudson’s forehead.

It was because I knew it instinctively.

The fact that the woman in front of her does not believe in herself

“Will you show me the corpses of the priests? I need to read the memories they left behind.”

“…The…Memory…Of the corpse!?”

“Yes, the special spells I’ve learned can read the memory of a subject, even corpses.”

‘Damn it…’

Hudson sighed inwardly.

It was because it was completely unexpected that a woman named the head of the Holy Knights would know the tricks that a necromancer would learn.

“Show me, aren’t you in this town?”

Agnes urged.

‘What to do… What to do… What to do…’

But Hudson couldn’t bear to answer.

Can show the body

I can’t even show you

It has fallen into a quandary.

“I don’t know why there is no answer. Is there something wrong?”

Agnes’ cold eyes twinkled.

‘Caught..Caught.’

Hudson started sweating like rain.

If you go on like this, you will be caught without moving.

“It’s a difficult word.”

Just then, a soft voice began to echo from behind.

Hudson and Agnes’ eyes turned to the back.

And could see

Leila, a beautiful village girl who smiles and smiles.

“The bodies were all burned.”

“What!?”

In an instant, Agnes’s pupils grew wide.

‘Layra! What the hell are you talking about!!!!’

In addition, Hudson’s expression began to change infinitely dark.

Mentioning cremation in front of the knight commander of the Holy Kingdom, where burial is the doctrine!?

What the hell are you talking about!?

“You’ll need a good reason, unless you want to be executed for blasphemy.”

Agnes glared at her with her infinitely cold eyes.

“Of course, Knight Commander.”

Leila did not avoid that gaze.

Just stare straight

‘Oh…God…Please…’

And Hudson prayed fervently to an unbelieving god.

Please help me get through this situation safely
