Episode 45

Before leaving, Allen summoned Inellia and gave her a few orders.

“… This is an important matter, so please be very careful.”

“Leave it to me. Confucius.”

“Yes, believe me.”

She had secretly circulated rumors that slowly overshadowed Julius’s reputation.

To make it feel natural for Allen to be higher than Julius one day.

Rumors that Confucius Allen had come to solve the root cause of the curse, and that he was not enough to pay all the money to heal the sick.

A rumor that was true, but cleverly made him compare Allen and Julius.

‘It’s just a small piece for now, but if it comes together later.’

It will be a great force that cannot be ignored.

Even for him, Enelia had to stay here.

“Confucius, can’t I follow you?”

“Linbell, you said Confucius. But again… .”

When Enelia raised her hand with stern eyes, she said with an impatient look.

“Confucius, as you have seen before, I will not be a burden. You said I was talented. So again… .”

Allen thought about her request for a moment, and then opened up her senses.

‘Are the muscles already established? The posture is stable and the balance is the same. However… .’

Is prana still there?

As I dug deeper with my senses, I could feel the bare swollen area to see if there was still muscle pain.

‘You trained hard. It’s also a recent thing. If it wasn’t for this, I would have thought about whether to take it or not.’

He seemed to be able to protect himself enough to fight a witch if he was confident.

However, there was no need to forcefully restore her body with potions.

Allen intervened between mother and daughter in a tense atmosphere and opened her mouth.

“You have work to do, so I put it here. I will definitely take you next time. Stay here this time.”

Linbell bowed her head with a blank expression on her face. Inelia pushed Linbell into her arms, and she bowed her head to Allen.

“I will be taking Linbell, so I hope you have a good trip.”

“… Even a porter.”

She opened her mouth in a small voice, but before Allen could answer, Enelia suppressed it.

“Don’t say anything strange, Linbell.”

“Ugh, the head. … Good luck. Confucius.”

Allen smiled briefly and walked over to Sonned, who was waiting for him.

‘… You were too close.’

I couldn’t see Linbell’s face at the end, but it was clear what he said as a joke.

To vomit his words in front of other people, even if it’s a joke. I’ll have to pay attention to this later.

Sonned gave Allen a map of the witch’s location and looked at him with serious eyes.

“Confucius, I would like to invite you to dinner when you have settled this matter.”

“It’s your invitation… , looking forward to it.”

Allen smiled lightly and accepted the invitation.

“Do you really not need mercenary support?”

“A lot of numbers are meaningless against witches. A coachman to lead the wagon is enough.”

“If that’s the case… , I wish you good luck.”

“So are you. Well, see you in a few days.”

Soned sighed in relief and looked at the back of the carriage as it moved away.

‘What does Confucius want? .’

As he quietly shut his mouth, Karik, who was seeing him off next to him, opened his mouth.

“It is very respectful that Confucius Allen treats Young Ji-min like this.”

“Did you only notice that from the conversation we just had?”

“Yes? then… ?”

Sonned sighed, looking at the young merchant, who was still young and inexperienced.

Some parts are excellent, other parts are still immature.

“Huh, no, I must have told you right now.”

“What are you trying to say?”

He opened his mouth, looking at the carriage, which now only looked like dots.

“Do you know about the hostess of the Reinhardt family? no… .”

Soned blocked the sunlight and asked low.

“Do you know anything about the Lupines?”

“Confucius, this is the fifth place on the map.”

“Let’s check it out for a moment.”

The coachman trembled as he looked at the deep canyon in front of him with a fearful face.

The canyon was bottomless due to dark dark green moss and shadows.

‘There is also negative magic, but has there been a massacre in the past?’

Well, it doesn’t matter.

Allen spread his senses widely, scanning every nook and cranny of the canyon.

From the cave at the corner of the canyon to the bottom of the canyon surrounded by darkness.

For a while, he explored the canyon at such a speed that he could not receive the flood of information in his head, but the result of his return was disappointing.

“… Not here either.”

After a few more years, even the undead may spontaneously arise, but not now.

Allen re-opened the map he had opened several times and checked.

‘In the next eleven places, five days have already passed. The remaining deadline… .’

up to 2 weeks.

Meanwhile, the witch had to be killed.

‘I can’t take more time.’

Including the cleanup of the incident and the time to return to the estate, I only had 2 weeks of time to use.

If you don’t kill the witch inside, you won’t be able to time Julius’ arrival.

‘You can’t go around all the marked areas on the map.’

I looked at five places and three days had already passed.

It was close to a waste of time to look at the destinations listed here.

‘You have to use another method. look elsewhere. Wait, take a look… ?’

Allen blamed his stupidity and immediately took a marble out of his pocket.

Beads with gray to white spots starting to mix.

[Heavenly Eyes]

One of the five great new weapons of the First Heroes, and an item found in the family’s treasury.

‘I haven’t thought about using it yet… .’ Come to think of it, at this moment (in the moment) there was nothing more suitable than this.

‘It’s stupid.’

When I first took it out of the report, I thought I should take a look, but Julius and Dalian, the elixir recovered from the mountain, and the ideal of the white book were just kept quietly.

Using the beads was easy.

Since it was a hero’s spirit, simple information was widely spread, and I had seen Julius use it in a previous life.

Allen immediately grabbed the marble and focused.

The marbles immediately released suction power, and their minds were sucked into the marbles in an instant.

‘here is… , is it the sky?’

He quickly came to his senses and looked down to see himself standing with his eyes closed.

‘Is this the power of the divine… .’

I have no idea what the principle is.

Allen, who looked around for a while, concentrated quickly when the white part of the gray marble began to turn gray.

‘A place where witches who spread curses are located.’

Hundreds of places all over the world ran through my head at the same time as I was afraid to think.

this crazy

Allen hastily reduced the range for more headaches than when he had spread his senses.

‘The scope is the western Libre Kingdom.’

Even if the scope was reduced, more than ten places came to mind at the same time.

‘… Something similar is happening across the kingdom?’

Allen wanted to see more if he had had enough time, but had to stop paying attention when the white part of the marble quickly disappeared.

‘Are those who deserve this kind of thing the Warlocks belonging to ‘Estodor’?’

I guessed alone with Enelia, but they were the only ones who carried out a crazy plan to spread curses and corrupt the divine beast.

Allen knew three things that would be significant if they were to take place in the future.

They are all related to Julius.

Allen realized he had no more time and narrowed it down again.

When we reduced the scope to Count Reinhardt, we reduced it to two places, and let’s narrow it down completely to the vicinity of the city west of the Countess.

‘… found.’

An unnamed forest near the western city of Bergen, three days away from the city.

On one screen that came to mind, an old witch, like an old tree, was sitting among the magic circles adorned with the blood of animals.

She stared into the air as she gazed at her from somewhere.

“It’s a witch.”

The witch quickly raised her hand as if she had noticed something.

Allen looked at him and whispered softly.

“- Let’s go soon.”

“… !”

At the same time, all the white parts of the marble turned gray, and Allen’s consciousness immediately returned to the body.

– flash

“Ugh, ooh!”

As Allen stood still, the coachman, who had approached with concern, fell backwards when Allen’s eyes were suddenly opened.

“How much time has passed?”

“Yes, yes?”

“How long has it been since I closed my eyes?”

Allen calmly waited for his answer.

When Allen did not urge, the driver fumbled, counted his fingers, looked up at the sky, and answered in a tone of incredulity.

“maybe… , it seems like five minutes have passed.”

“Five minutes… .”

There seemed to be no time gap.

If so, it was said that the time for activating the divine was not long.

“Thank you. Then go to the next place.”

“Yeah, then go to the place on the map… .”

“No, the place we are going… .”

Allen smiled coolly, recalling the witch’s surprised expression.

“The forest located three days away from Bergen, I will go there.”

“Inelia-sama, are there any inconveniences?”

“yes. Thanks to you, I am doing well.”

“Fortunately, the. Confucius Allen has also made a proclamation, so if there is anything you would like me to do, please tell me.”

“All right. thank you.”

When the maid that Sonned had given her left the room after saying hello, Linbell, who was sitting next to her, quickly made an anxious face.

“Mom, am I useless?”

It has already been three days since Prince Allen left Bergen.

In the meantime, the only thing Enelia and Linbell did was have a conversation with Sonned, who asked if they had any discomfort in the morning and evening.

Contrary to what Confucius said that he would do something, she had no choice but to wait in the room provided.

Linbell bit her lips, compulsively gripping and releasing her clothes repeatedly.

“Isn’t it because Confucius didn’t take me with me because it was useless?”

For the first time, I admired the power of Confucius.

I realized the absurdity of being incapacitated.

I’ve come to realize that the world doesn’t always turn for the better.

so that.

“Why, why can’t I use prana? huh? Mom.”

In the goodwill of Confucius, he tried to live up to expectations.

In the favor given to an undeserved degree, in the face of his faith given as if confidently.

“… In fact, maybe I am nothing? Mom is a fairy… , but why, why… .”

I wanted to repay his trust in telling me that you are not a roadside weed, but a white flower blooming on a cliff.

“But why, I, huh? My mother is a fairy… , please, please, can you give me an answer?”

Confucius did not doubt that he had a different ability than others, but she herself could not believe it.

His expectations, which had been happily accepted, were now too overwhelming to hold on so that they would not collapse on their own.

“Mom, I’m really useless… .”

“No, absolutely not. Linbell.”

Inelia quickly took her crouched into her arms and denied her words.

“Rinbell, that’s not it. i know You can do it. It’s just a little tough right now.”

“really? It’s just my mother’s misunderstanding… .”

Enelia was heartbroken.

I wasn’t originally like this. He was a little shy, cute, and full of playfulness. How could such a child collapse on his own with no one else’s expectations?

‘… If it’s this hard.’

She opened her eyes resolutely and whispered in a friendly tone.

“then… , will you stop?”

Enelia patted her on the back and spoke in a somewhat faint voice.

“I think I’ve had a good few months… , do you want to go back to your original life? Mom hunts, you dig herbs.”

They have no worries, and sometimes sleep with each other when there is not enough firewood.

If you succeed in hunting, cook with a happy face, and if you fail, make your favorite mushroom stew.

“Would you like to go back to a life that was so peaceful and repeated over and over again?”

Linbell remained silent for a while, then answered in a calm voice.

“no… . I don’t want to.”

“Why do you think so? It’s too hard.”

Enelia asked softly without being irritated.

“… I hate that.”

“why?”

Linbell recalled the cause of this effort.

Although she is now struggling with Allen’s overflowing expectations, it is fundamentally the cause of her pursuit of strength.

“… Because I don’t want to experience that anymore.”

The image of her mother being abducted by herself because of her weakness is so deeply engraved that it still often appears in nightmares.

“Yeah, if you want to give up, just tell me. Mommy is on your side.”

Enelia moved Linbell to the bedroom and laid her on the bed together.

“Once you sleep, you will be fine. Understand?”

As if mentally tired, she quickly exhaled and fell asleep.

Inelia breathed a sigh of relief inwardly, and with a serious expression recalled what Allen had asked her to do.

“Before that, just a moment… .”

She immediately closed her eyes.

As she concentrated her mind, the wind blew around her and a bluish girl appeared.

“Sylphy.”

hahaha-

“Shh!”

What?

“My daughter is sleeping, so will you please be quiet?”

As Inellia patted her for a favor, Sylphy nodded softly and pressed it to her cheek.

“Sylphy, can you stop the sound from escaping?”

Sylphy nodded immediately, then turned into a wind and circled them, blocking them from the outside.

“I’m going out for a while, so please stay like that for a moment.”

Enelia felt the wind caressing her as if knowingly and cautiously got up from the bed.

As she bowed her head, Linbell let out a colorful breath and fell asleep.

Inelia carefully returned her body to the fairy’s true form.

After a while, a beautiful fairy with 14 pairs of wings with gray skin appeared.

“Linbell, I’m sorry. I want to be with you. I will be leaving soon.”

She apologized to her sleeping, and secretly used her powers.

It was the fairy’s ability to transform into another creature.

through-

Her body melted into a shadow in an instant, and her figure disappeared. Enelia quickly slipped through the gap in the door and disappeared in an instant.

To carry out the orders Confucius Allen asked for.

The moment Enelia disappeared, Linbell’s purple eyes opened.

Her gaze turned to the door where Enelia had disappeared.

“Liar.”

Linbell muttered with empty eyes, suppressing the ugly emotions that spread through her chest.

“… I was right, too.”

She quickly covered her face with a pillow.

Because I couldn’t really see what kind of expression I was making.

Days later, Allen’s name began to spread quietly beneath the waters of the city.

With the intention lurking behind it.
