A Narrow-Eyed Nobleman Is Always Misunderstood

Episode 88 – The United Investigation Team Heads to Unexplored Lands

The spirit is not a being with a physical substance, but a spiritual being made of energy.

So, those who did not have the ability to communicate with the spirits could not see them with their own eyes.

In that case, there must be some people who ask what the spirits that people can see are, but it could be said that the spirits used their spirit power to give the spirits physical reality.

In other words, a spirit could not appear in this world with a physical entity without a spirit spirit.

However, there are cases in which some spirits roam this land with a physical entity even without a spiritist, and that was a unique case for those spirits.

A spirit that can roam without a contract with a spiritist is absolutely not an ordinary spirit.

In case of going crazy for some reason and manifesting on this land with only one’s own power.

Or, if you were dispatched to this land on a certain mission.

Otherwise, if you weren’t born in the spirit realm from the beginning.

Except for the three cases mentioned above, no spirit could appear on this earth with a physical body without a spirit spirit.

So, the elemental sergeant had no choice but to be treated well compared to other professions.

Spiritual power wasn’t something that I wanted to grow, but it was something I had to be born with.

Of course, this was not the case for the elves living in the Great Forest.

Elves living in the Great Forest were born with spirit power, so they were often exposed to spirits from an early age.

So elves must learn how to deal with the spirits, and then walk the path they want to go.

For that reason, the elves’ ability to deal with spirits was superior to other people’s.

“The Earth Spirit says that those who killed people here have headed north.”

“North?”

“Now it is a forgotten and cursed land.”

The Elementalist stood up from his seat and announced the location of the assailant.

However, people expressed their doubts at the words of a forgotten cursed land that came out of his mouth, and the elves nodded their heads.

Seeing that the elves nodded, Anna looked at Seluna.

“Sir Seluna. What do you mean by the forgotten and cursed land?”

“Oh, sorry. The place of the Forgotten Curse is what you would call the Wildlands.”

It was only after Seluna’s explanation continued that the side of the Bregern Empire knew where the area the elementalist had mentioned was.

Because the unexplored area was literally a lawless area without the influence of any country.

Unless witnesses appeared, everything that happened in the unexplored lands was bound to be a secret that no one could know.

“Unexplored territory… …. Trouble has arisen.”

“Is something wrong?”

As Anna let go of her moans and a frown on her face, Seluna asked what was going on with her.

“In order to head to unexplored lands, you must have an order stamped with His Majesty’s seal. Without it, no one can go out into the wild.”

“Are orders absolutely necessary?”

Seluna told Anna in a tone as if she had to take care of everything.

Anna opened her mouth again to Seluna’s question.

“Yes. You need an order to enter the unexplored lands. Unless it’s a newly pioneered road, most of the roads leading to unexplored areas have imperial troops deployed. Plus, going out into the wilds without an order is going to be a headache.”

“What happens?”

“His Majesty’s orders are a kind of indulgences. The order contains a statement that we will not hold you accountable for anything that happens during the course of our mission.”

“I see… …. If so, I must take care of it.”

After Seluna listened to Anna’s explanation, she seemed convinced that she had to get the order.

But her true intentions lie elsewhere.

Hearing Alberto’s story from Anna in Alberto, she thought there was something about Alberto.

And then, there was Queen Rumio’s order given to her.

‘Seluna. Listen carefully. She was told by the Great Mother that something dangerous would emerge from the Forgotten and Cursed Lands. If, however, she senses evil spirits from him, she does not hesitate to cut him down. Only then, her mother said, will all worlds find peace.’

Seluna recalled what Queen Rumio said of her.

Great mother.

A divine being called the World Tree or the Goddess of Nature by humans.

Her Celluna respected her so much that she was willing to give her own life if she said she would.

From noble mtl dot com.

So, she made sure to keep the command of her great mother, which was delivered through the mouth of Queen Rumio.

If, in the process, she fell out with the Bregueren Empire to some extent, she was prepared to take all the responsibility herself.

Killing a commoner would be nothing, but killing a nobleman was a different matter.

However, when she heard Anna’s ‘indulgences’ item in her order, her ears perked up.

If what she said is true, wouldn’t she be able to claim her innocence based on that, even if she felt the power of evil spirits on a man named Alberto in the wilderness and killed him?

In addition, spirits can feel the energy of evil spirits sensitively, so what if the spirits feel the energy of evil spirits from Alberto?

At that time, all I had to do was insist on what my great mother had said.

She said that her Great Mother had given her an oracle, so she wanted to kill him because he was dangerous.

After finding out where the raiders were headed, the Alberium Kingdom investigation team and the Imperial Knights of the Bregern Empire headed north.

After moving for about a week, including sending a person to the capital in the middle to receive an order with the emperor’s seal stamped on it, they were able to arrive at a place where a huge fortress guarding the empire could be seen from afar from the unexplored region.

“The fortress you see over there plays the role of a shield to protect our country from the monsters of the unexplored region.”

“Really, this is a great piece of architecture.”

To protect the empire from the attack of the monsters, the fortress wall that could be seen in the distance was taller, stronger, and boasting an overwhelming appearance than any other wall Seluna had ever seen.

It is only a wall that forms the outer wall of a fortress, but it was truly remarkable in that such a simple wall exudes a sense of coercion.

These two groups of men, now called the Combined Investigators, having received orders from the Imperial Palace in Tintaluna, began to move towards the fortress in small increments.

As soon as we reached the entrance of the fortress, the guard greeted these people.

“Stop! Please reveal your identity and business!”

“I am Anna Ludmila Semiltern, vice-captain of the Imperial Knights! I have brought here an order with His Majesty’s seal stamped on it. We will head into the wilderness to pursue those who kidnapped the prisoner in escort!”

At Anna’s words, a guard cautiously approached and began to check the contents of her order.

At the top of the wall and inside the hole in the middle, soldiers were aiming bows and ballistas.

The ballista would pierce their bodies the moment Anna made one stupid move.

The guards took Anna’s handed orders and briefly entered the fort.

And not long after, a guard came out of the fort and handed Anna her orders.

“Confirmed. We’ll open the door right away. Hey! Open the door!”

As the words of the guard echoed, the huge iron door began to open slowly.

And the combined survey team was able to pass the fort guarding the wilderness.

Inside the iron gate, a long passage continued.

There was nothing but the passageway, and only a torch in the middle was lighting up the empty passageway.

“Sir Anna. Why is there nothing inside this fortress?”

“This fortress is literally a fortress built to prevent attacks by demons. So, if the entrance to the unexplored area is breached, only this passage will be destroyed to block the entry of monsters.”

“I see!”

As soon as Seluna heard Anna’s explanation, she understood how strategically this passage was made.

No matter how many monsters come, only a few end up climbing the walls.

Even if they break through the iron gate, if the passage is destroyed, they will eventually have to climb the wall.

If that happens, all that remains is the monsters that fall and die while climbing the walls.

Fortunately, the number of monsters flying in the sky is small, and even if they do appear, they will come to eat the monsters that died while climbing the castle wall, so they would not directly attack the fortress.

After passing through the straight passage made right under the fortress, the combined investigation team was finally able to step into the unexplored land.
