My Summons Are Special

36. Traitor

After defeating the high-ranking demons and taking the by-products, the party continued to pursue the demons attacking the fortress wall.

Maybe he didn’t think that the higher class demons would die, and the demons that were attacked behind were struck by an unexpected blow and fell down one by one.

Even without Ian and his party, an opponent that could be solved with just the vassals of the Duke of Iritsu.

It didn’t take long to annihilate the demons when an environment was created where the four 3-star pets ran wildly.

Stella, who had climbed up the wall, approached the vassal who was in charge of the top of the wall and asked.

“What about casualties?”

“Three injuries, seven minor injuries.”

“Few.”

Now that all the main forces of the castle went out on an expedition, it was a huge achievement to block the attack of the demons with only one injured summoner and one or two summoners.

Even no deaths? It could be said that it was a great record that could be recorded in history.

“I want to hold a festival right now, but… … .”

“You cannot do that. I understand.”

What happened once may happen twice.

Just as important as stopping the attack was the follow-up.

I had to immediately form an investigation team to find the route the demons had infiltrated, and completely block the way.

“Take a little longer.”

“It’s not a big deal. miss.”

With that said, the vassal gathered the remaining summoners and organized a scouting party. They were mainly summoners with flying summons.

While they suffered so much, Stella turned to Ian.

“… … Ian.”

“yes.”

“Do you have anything to say?”

“okay.”

He smiled weakly as if he had no choice but to look at Stella.

“But, that’s not what we’re talking about here.”

“… … Let’s go back to the castle.”

With that said, Stella took the party and headed to the lord’s room.

* * *

The Yeongsil is the place where the most secrets come and go in the territory, and the place where the lord, the owner of the territory, spends the most time.

Thus, the security of the lord’s room is the highest in the territory, and the security protects the lord from all kinds of dangers such as soundproofing, sword-proofing, fireproofing, electric discharge, waterproofing, and gas-gassing.

“Come on, talk.”

Stella, who entered the Yeongsil room as a deputy governor of Gaju, looked at Ian and said so. Ian held out the back of his hand as if it was nothing.

From the pattern of the shujak on the back of his hand, flames rose and a woman appeared.

“Master, do you have any business?”

Theresia, who appeared, took a quick look inside the lord’s chamber, realized that there was no problem, and asked him.

And the other children who saw Theresia were astonished to realize that what they had seen was not a hallucination.

“… … It was real.”

“what?”

“You have a second pet.”

In the history of the continent, only two people have summoned more than two summoned beasts.

Emperor of the Empire and Noah.

Ian has been added here.

“how… … did you?”

Noah’s case is understandable. I just thought she had the same talents as an emperor, and there were a few people who saw her summoning summoning beasts in the temple.

But it wasn’t Ian. There is no temple here. Even if you ride a horse to the nearest temple, you only arrive after a few hours, so there is no way that Ian could have sneaked out.

There was no time for that.

In other words, he summoned a summoned beast without going through the temple.

This was absolutely incomprehensible.

“It’s kind of hard to say, though.”

“… … If you don’t want to talk, you don’t have to. We were the only ones who saw it.”

“No, you can believe it.”

Saying so, Ian began to roll his head. It was necessary to set up such a setting that they could not doubt and convince.

And quite coincidentally, he had a paladin of the gods.

“Do you know what the original arts Anna has?”

“How do I know that?”

“It’s a trust.”

The reason you can only summon a summoned beast from the temple is that the summoned beast is a god-given warrior.

In other words, all summoners were also priests who communicated with the gods.

“’Take my sword, Thou art. take my shield So defeat the enemy.’”

“… … What are you talking about?”

“It means that I am a warrior chosen by God.”

Of course, it was a lie.

But they can’t doubt it. In a world where God exists, mentioning the name of a god is not something that can be explained at the level of risking your life.

“Theresia is a summoned beast with a fortune-telling heirloom.”

“… … Summoning is only possible in the temple-.”

“There is no need to go to the temple and summon it because it is connected to the gods anytime, anywhere.”

“Are you going to believe that?”

“If you don’t want to believe it, you don’t have to believe it. I am not forcing you.”

At those words, Stella, Noah, and De Noir-senpai also kept their mouths shut.

Again, in a world where a god exists, those who are associated with that god are treated very seriously.

Thus, Ian became a saint who was commanded by the gods, the warrior who saved the world.

Of course, it was all a lie.

* * *

Time has passed.

The retainers of the Duke of Iritz traced back the route the demons entered and found the tunnel they had dug.

After tracing the burrows back, he learned that they had been preparing for this for at least several years, and then explored the area and found several similar tunnels.

Stella, who gathered all the information and received it, shed a sigh as she looked at the map.

“… … What else is this?”

“what’s the matter?”

“look.”

Without a word, she handed me the map. After checking the map handed to me, I followed her with a groan.

“Wow- what is this… … .”

The oysters were passing all the way down the Iritsu estate.

It was maintained to the point of being truly breathtaking, but it was so deep that even if the demons proceeded with even a little more construction, the territory itself would be completely submerged.

This was not possible after digging in for a day or two.

“At least it has been going on since I was born.”

“If I had waited a little longer, it would have been a disaster.”

“Yeah, it would have been a disaster if we weren’t here.”

“why?”

“Look, what would have happened if this raid had been successful?”

“Yeah… … Youngji must have been smashed.”

“Are you going to end there?”

Stella, who brought the chess pieces, placed white and black pieces on the map. The white horses that started from the territory, the black horses attacked from both sides.

“… … It’s a bucket.”

“If you are attacked from all sides without a place to retreat, even a 4-star Summoner can’t stand it.”

And there was one thing I could tell from this information.

“Someone of our vassal has a traitor.”

“… … Why do you think so?”

“Look, how stupid are you going to end up doing a strategy you’ve been working on for at least 10 years?”

The demons succeeded in digging a tunnel without being detected for over ten years. If it had been a few more years, the Duke would have succeeded in destroying one with 100% certainty.

The lifeless demons gave up the number they could surely win and forced an uncertain invasion.

why?

“I have certain information. When the duke leaves his seat, when a hole in the territories begins.”

In fact, the demons dispatched high-ranking demons that could not be countered by only one or two 3-star summons.

If Stella had been alone, or if the children other than us had come to this estate with her.

The Duke of Iritz must have been brutally invaded, and the Duke of Iritz must have lost his life.

Humanity must have lost one 4-star summoned creature, and all heirlooms and by-products stored in the duke’s secret warehouse must have been passed on to the demons.

The demons must have used that heirloom to produce more powerful demons.

‘It’s really dark.’

Thinking about it that way, my stomach went numb. If the South is opened, what’s next? It meant that the West, East, and North could all be penetrated.

If the territorial area of mankind is reduced, it will be impossible to even feed the remaining population.

Humans must have dried up slowly and died.

“Then the important thing now is… … .”

“yes. We must find the traitor.”

“You are a traitor… … .”

I squeezed my head and tried to recall the story.

However, I don’t remember much of a character without impact.

The reason I remember Dinoir was because of her explosive looks and body, and if it hadn’t been for her distinctive features, I’d have forgotten about her too.

So, the traitor is a man.

“… … man.”

“What?”

“The traitor, it must be a man.”

“How do you… … .”

“I just thought so.”

“… … Oracle, is it the same?”

“maybe.”

After hearing what I said, Stella said that she would actively reflect it in the investigation, and started to bundle up her head with other things.

From the standpoint of her, who has not yet formally inherited the estate, running the estate would be hard enough to give her a headache.

I peek through the papers to help her.

‘Uh-huh.’

Then he immediately stepped back and turned his head, pretending not to know.

Like me, it was written with so much complicated content that I couldn’t understand it no matter how many times I looked at it.

It required political, military, and economic knowledge.

‘It’s a lot of trouble.’

Thinking not to disturb her, I cautiously left the lord’s room.

* * *

A few days later, the expedition led by the Duke of Iritz returned.

The duke, who returned to the lord’s office, was slightly suspicious of the fact that Stella was working on his behalf.

It’s because I took care of everything so that nothing happened while I was away.

When the duke heard that there was an attack by demons while they were away, he was extremely angry very rarely.

However, he did not express his anger externally.

“There is a traitor among the vassal… … .”

“Yes, Father. For sure.”

“Yeah, that’s right.”

But finding the traitor was very difficult.

Read at readwn.com

Most of the vassals of the Iritsu family are loyalists among the loyalists who have worked for the duke for more than ten years.

It was hard to believe that there was a traitor among them.

“Let the traitor be found slowly, rather than… … .”

The Duke found Ian and his party.

Shin Sang-pil-penalty.

If you set the ball, you definitely get a reward.

This was one of the secrets of Duke Iritz, who had many vassals and never heard any complaints.

“I heard that you were guarding the territory while I was away.”

“Obviously it had to be done.”

“There’s no law that says you shouldn’t get a reward just because you did something that was taken for granted.”

It is only natural for summoners to protect mankind.

Because their talents and the summons they summoned were all given by God.

However, summoners have too much money and power in the name of protecting mankind.

But no one complains about that.

Although it was a natural thing, he also took it for granted to receive an award.

“Don’t reward each of you with the heirloom of a two-star pet. Specifically, Ian Clark. I will award you the by-products of the higher-class demons you captured.”

“thank you.”

“thank you!”

“… … thank you.”

The three of them thanked and exited the Young Room.

Ian recalled the by-products he had received.

Where it was used, I can’t remember.

Returning to the room, Ian faced the maid waiting in front of the door.

The maid, who found Ian, immediately approached him, bowed his back, and opened his mouth.

“Master Ian.”

“Uh, huh?”

“The bath water is ready.”

“ah… … okay.”

The bathhouse of the Iritz family was unnecessarily large, and it took a considerable amount of time to prepare it.

Ian headed straight to the bathroom, took a light shower, and went into the bath.

The warm water wrapped around his body, and all of his fatigue and worries were blown away.

[Master, I want to take a bath too.]

“… … What?”

And then, the pattern shimmered at will and vomited a woman. Theresia took off her armor and revealed herself in her shabby clothes.

“Oh, the water is nice.”

“No, wait… you.”

[What, what are you doing!?]

And later, Anna also appeared.

In her armor, she grabbed Theresia and escaped Ian’s view.

“All, you! Don’t you know the saying that men and women are equal to seven generations!?”

“What, did you see the owner as a man? You are lascivious about being a paladin.”

“Wow, what are you talking about… !”

“If you haven’t been watching, what’s wrong with taking a bath together?”

Theresia, who persuaded Anna by saying that, immediately took off her clothes and threw them away.

Ian closed his eyes and tried not to look at him.

🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩

One person’s water ran out of the bathroom.

And later, there was a creaking sound.

“Bo, you can’t see it, Master… .”

Shoot it-.

Another person’s water escaped from the bath.

It was louder than before.
