Chapter 53 – 53. Strange Companion – City of Witches (8)

“…Now I understand.”

“I know, but please don’t talk too much about it. From what I’ve heard, he’s a shrewd and clever creature. If he knows he’s going to be taken advantage of, he won’t look twice.”

And without hesitation, he will pick up the hammer and try to break the pot.

Even the scary beings around him.

The existence of the ‘lamb’ that sealed Clark’s house and guarded it. I swear, with that alone, it was an incredibly powerful being to the point of being considered equal to myself.

If there were not just one but thousands of such beings, would it be possible to defeat them?

“Besides, there’s Aris.”

“…Aris, your highness?”

“…When I come back, I’ll have to tear off all of those scales, you damned kid.”

“…”

Looking at those burning eyes of Eris, I think Princess Aris will probably have her ass on fire when she returns. Carnetia thought so. As a bonus, Gawain’s expression as he dealt with his former colleague looked more relaxed than when she first came.

“Are you okay, Gukseo?”

“Please just call me Gawain. I am not worthy of being called that kind of honoree.”

“If a person who risked his life to fight against evil is not worthy of respect, then what on earth should be respected?”

“…Just now, I tried to kill a former colleague with my own hands. And, I sensed even more malice from that former colleague than Cassandra.”

The fact that among her companions there was a greater evil than what she thought was evil and killed. And as a result of confirming the reality, Gawain realized that good and evil are ultimately decided by the convenience of the world, and she was unable to protect Camelot.

King Arthur died in battle.

One of his old colleagues was also there.

…

There were many things I wanted to ask, but you never know until you face them in person.

Because the Alicia I met in person was still incompetent and trash.

“One thing I’ve noticed is that if you’re disappointed once, it’s very easy to get disappointed a second or third time. They say you don’t even get disappointed because you don’t even have expectations. Clark said this often, but… It’s so funny that I’m going to say it myself. “

“…You don’t have to worry, Gawain. We will guide you to him.”

“Then, please, Carnetia.”

“Please leave it to me.”

Carnetia takes the lead and traverses the forest.

The forest responds to her will and presence and begins to open a path.

They began to escape the forest that had been spinning around in circles like a lie, and Gawain and Eris finally escaped from the labyrinth of the great forest that had trapped them for so long.

Freesia.

Military powerhouse.

Naturally, if you ask why Uruk is called a military powerhouse, it is because it is truly a gangster country.

Well, they are expanding their ambitions, saying that they aim to liberate the people for a noble cause, but Uruk is right above them, Camelot is too far away, and in Draconia, the country of dragons, the dragons are bullies.

It’s really cold in Urus.

Perhaps because they are barbarians who live in such a cold place to begin with, they are also extremely large.

As the saying goes, the colder the place, the bigger you become so you can withstand the cold. Naturally, there are many people there who are over 180 and over 190.

Holy Empire, you fucking bastard, do you want to taste the excommunication, you unholy bastard? It’s enough to say this, and of course, being religiously excommunicated in this world where gods reign supreme is impossible unless you’re so strong as the Emperor of Uruk that you don’t even care about it.

Welcome to Elvenheim, the Great Forest~ Would you like to taste the arrow? And how to make a large army get lost in the forest.

The one that was more manageable was Magia.

Of course, there was a fight with Magia, but he said that his father was personally dispatched to talk to him, but he said he never had a fight with Magia again after that…

Recently, newspapers say that there is a movement towards Magia.

In many ways, this is a country that is acting like a brat.

And there…

Even though I clearly showed valid ID and documents, they blocked me from entering the country.

Surely Gilgamesh guaranteed my identity.

But blocking it like this?

Something that made me wonder if these bastards were crazy was unfolding before my eyes.

“I haven’t done anything wrong yet, but hey, is this really what you’re trying to do to stop me?”

“We don’t know that. We are only stopping you, following Margrave Edward’s orders.”

Edward…

So, is that the damned guy from the Pantalone duchy? The bastard who, along with Alicia, was inciting Elizabeth by openly leaving her in a state of death. Naturally, my identity is already certain, and I am so annoyed by this obnoxious stubbornness that even the emperor of Uruk himself has certified.

In fact, since Elizabeth was said to be a margrave, it was natural that Edward, who succeeded her, would become a margrave.

In effect, proxy.

And the heir to the dukedom.

Hmm-

Really. It’s a story-telling that’s almost like a joke.

Is this the author of the continent of Elcadia, is this how you write the story?

It is said that it is the Margrave’s authority to restrict the entry of those coming from the frontier and outsiders, but they blatantly block entry like this.

I want to at least enter legally, but they are mercilessly blocking us who came legally.

And my older sister also seems annoyed and mentions her identity…

“You guys have no fear, blocking the path of the witch of Gehenna.”

“You were expelled from Gehenna anyway. Mira – Dawn Bringer.”

They say my older sister was also expelled from Gehenna.

No, it’s natural.

That’s because you defeated the Great Devil.

I expected it to be like this.

But the fact that they know this means that there is someone who tells them that.

The time it takes for a command from above to reach the bottom.

That time is very long.

The frontier will be slower.

Well, of course. Are there enemies everywhere?

My sister took one look at me and said, why don’t you kill them? When I saw my older sister with that face, I felt nervous again.

We are walking a tightrope between what is legal and what is irrational, but it is a world that is difficult to blindly shatter and enter.

Why does it only unfold in front of me?

Other bastards just take advantage of me, but I really do.

That’s why obtaining Nia’s power is nothing short of a godsend.

Of course, I don’t want to expose Nia’s power from here, but what should I do?

And it’s not just my sister and I who are upset.

On the contrary, the most dangerous bastard when angry had his eyes flashing.

Dick, you’ve always been upset when you see things like this.

“Geumtaeyang, do you know what the hottest method is in situations like this?”

“Stop talking like shit and get out of here.”

Naturally, they are just following orders.

What’s the use of it if you just throw it away?

At least to Elizabeth, these are her own proud soldiers.

So I didn’t want to cause harm, but Dick is no slouch when it comes to things like this.

“…I’m telling you, they’re just too lazy to think about it, so they just criticize whatever they ask. Why? I just did as they were told. Why should I be punished?”

“Hey.”

“You’re the one who’s talking about chasing, you bastard. If it’s an order like that, you have to attack it so it doesn’t give you an order like that. Do you know what they call those bastards who do everything they tell you to do? They call them dogs. Edward’s bastard. Listen.”

“…Shut your mouth, Orientalist. If you flutter your snout one more time-“

“Nabul nabul~”

This crazy bastard really.

Naturally, Dick was already prepared to knock them all down.

“If you were thinking properly, someone would have jumped out of here by now. That’s right. If you don’t tell anyone that there is no reason for disqualification and you don’t tell them, then what’s the point? You’re just being a brat. So, you come out as a brat when you’re a brat…”

And Dick spoke with his purple eyes shining.

“If you don’t want to be left behind, come out now.”

“…The arrogant bastard from the East…Looks like he believes in the Golden Sun and is being picky about it, but no one here uses magic…”

Is it a magic nullification field? Naturally, it is a necessity that is naturally found in such border areas. And even if it is a necessity, it cannot interfere with my magic casting or Tio’s magic casting.

Of course, he tried to just quietly move on without making a fuss, but of course Dick didn’t seem to particularly like the behavior of these soldiers at all.

It’s been like this for a long time, and that’s why I said I would come forward and talk about it.

In particular, I used to have an extreme dislike for those who gave up thinking as soldiers and followed their superiors’ orders and did not feel any remorse.

“Hey, hey!! Stop it!”

I’m going to fall in love!!

In Dick’s hand, the spear of the sun is lifted.

“Clarke, I’m going to tell you something, so listen carefully. If you treat me like an idiot for no reason, make sure to give me a reason to act like an idiot.”

“Stop it.”

And before Dick lifted the Spear of the Sun and threw it, someone appeared inside the castle gate.

A highly skilled female knight right next to me.

At the same time…

A girl with blue hair that reminded me of Elizabeth appeared.

Now she is a girl who seems to have just become an adult.

And the girl asks the guard captain.

“Something is wrong.”

“This is the Golden Sun, lady. This is a dangerous place. The Margrave told you not to come…”

“The Margrave is Countess Elisabeth Pantalone. She is following the orders of someone to whom she is not entitled. Sir, who are you following? Phrygia or Edward?”

“Please do not call the Margrave by his name in vain, young lady. Although it is unofficial, the current owner of this eastern border of Frisia is Earl Edward…”

“Why would you, a mere knight, arbitrarily judge the fact that her sister did not recognize her title and even acknowledged that she was her deputy? According to Phrygian national law, she has not committed any wrongdoing. Blocking her entry is a good way to prevent her from entering the country in the future. There may be friction. Will you and Edward take responsibility for it?”

“…”

It’s a natural thing. My identity is personally recognized by the Emperor of Uruk, but ignoring it is the same as ignoring Uruk.

“Look, isn’t it sticking out?”

Dick looks at me, retracts his sun lance and says:

As Dick said, I made a fuss and it came out right away…

Nevertheless, my true intention was that I did not want to shed blood. And Dick seemed to just want to attack, while I wanted to wait quietly.

Because it was so easy to push it away if it was irrational.

“In that case, you can assume that responsibility lies with you…”

“You’re arrogant, Knight Commander. Who on earth is it that makes you take responsibility for something that is ‘obvious’? You? Or Edward? Or that damned elf next to Edward! Are you the majestic figure of Phrygia? Are you putting them above the law of the land? Stop being presumptuous. You are a knight protecting Phrygia, and the margrave is a protector of the frontier, not a persecutor of those who have committed no crime.”

And here I am, scolding the knight in front of me in a voice similar to Elizabeth’s, but louder.

And looking at that, I was immersed in a faint memory.

Even back then, Elizabeth used to criticize Alicia for being such an idiot in such a loud voice.

And a voice and face similar to that.

She said that Elizabeth said she was really proud of her and that she had a loving sister, and she said that was this girl.

And of course, the guard driver tries to keep his mouth shut until the end, but instead, he just dumps it even further.

“The Margrave will not just let this go.”

“…You’re saying something funny. A man who can’t even step forward unless he’s a goddamn elf is holding me accountable? If that’s the case, then he should first hold the Emperor of Uruk responsible. The problem here is the Golden Sun. If he causes trouble, it means there is a problem with the insight of the emperor of Uruk who trusted him. If he causes trouble here, I will personally go to Uruk to protest.”

“You’d better remember that.”

“No, you must remember this too, Commander. You are nothing more than Edward’s dog. You are a nobleman, and a person with responsibilities, so of course you will be asked, and you must not back down from this. You will face the natural consequences. “He is a being who is in denial and is busy living by his own will. He cannot welcome the person who killed the Demon King and returns safely, but he blocks them… Then who on earth sacrifices himself to fight for everyone?”

“…”

And after she finished speaking – she turned to him and said:

“Shame on you, everyone.”

And soon after, the female knight with brown hair next to her approaches me.

“I will guide you. I hope you will not be offended by the rudeness of the checkpoint guards.”

“Thank you. What should I call you?”

“I only told you my real name, so please use ‘Bia’.”

“Thank you Via.”

And I looked at Dick.

And the sight of him glaring at that security guard.

I guess I really didn’t like it.

Bea, and Elizabeth’s younger sister.

The place they brought us was a bar or pub in Byeongang.

And it was a place with an inn, and as soon as I got there, waiting for me was an old gentleman washing dishes at the bar, along with Elizabeth’s younger sister.

Yes, the name is…

“…Nice to meet you. Clark – Dawn Bringer. The famous Archmage. It is an honor to meet the ‘Golden Sun’. I am Elizarote, Elizabeth’s younger sister.”

Elizarote.

…

She was Elizabeth’s younger sister.
