Episode 51

“You mean you know that?”

As Allen spoke in a dignified tone, he could feel the eyes of everyone in the room focusing on him.

Allen answered immediately, without delay.

“The present case is related to the Warlock.”

“How do you know that? No, wait… .”

Gaiel’s inorganic eyes had a distinctive look. The knight commander who opened his eyes without saying a word, and Gardel who was smiling with a kind face.

All sorts of emotions emanated from them.

Expectations, doubts, surprises.

This situation was clearly under his control.

“Yes, I happened to hear about it from a merchant when I was in Bergen the other day.”

In fact, Sonned wouldn’t know anything, but it didn’t matter if he did.

Now I just need to make it look plausible.

“He said, I’ve noticed that warlocks have started appearing near the forest of divine beasts from a long time ago.”

Recite things that happened in the past.

“It is said that the boundaries of the forest of Shinsui have become stricter because of that.”

“No, wait… okay. Did I say dyke top? It is famous that the top pole is in contact with an elf… .”

After thinking for a moment, he realized that Allen made sense and nodded.

“Yeah, that’s my opinion from now on… , perhaps the elves did not intend to ask our family for help in the first place.”

“I will. The fact that she has a bad relationship is a fact that even the children of the territory know.”

“And if it was a formal request from the elves, there wouldn’t have been just one. They must have sent a formal delegation.”

“Wait, that means… .”

Gaiel muttered to himself slowly at Allen’s words.

“The elf who asked for support was not alone from the beginning… ?”

“Yeah, if not, it would be correct to say that it was so blocked that it was difficult to get out on my own.”

Gardel recalled Eliza’s figure to Allen’s insight.

‘Is it that woman’s son?’

You’re guessing this far from the fact that one injured elf has arrived.

Of course, without the information on the top of Dyke, I would not have been able to guess up to this point, but even the fact that he had that connection was similar to that woman.

“Yeah, that makes sense.”

“Obviously, this is just my guess. However… .”

Allen closed his eyes and revived the feeling of friendliness he felt in the fountain of spirits to materialize the spirits around him.

– Huong

“There is another piece of evidence.”

A multicolored sphere appeared around him, constantly changing colors.

“that… Spirit, is it Ether?”

Gaiel’s expression broke for the first time.

Allen opened his mouth, looking at him with joy in his heart.

“Yeah, I haven’t signed a contract yet.”

“How are you… .”

He was well aware of Allen’s talent. Although his mana sensitivity and affinity may be different, he probably had no talent for spirits… .

“The last time I made progress in magic, there were some changes in my body.”

Gaiel made a face that it was difficult to understand his explanation, but he forcibly nodded his head as he did not know much about the spirits.

“Yeah, it’s surprising, but… , what does that have to do with what you mean?”

“I didn’t sign a contract, but I could hear what this spirit was saying to some extent.”

Allen looked at Gaiel’s expression, but he returned with an expressionless expression as if his expression had been broken.

“A lot of warlocks, battles, retreats, defeats, fires, monsters and… Fallen forest? Shinsoo? It’s something I’m not quite familiar with yet, so I can’t understand it.”

Returning the spirit that Allen had materialized with affinity again, he made eye contact with Gaiel.

“To conclude, it is clear that the elves are in peril, and we can use that to make a significant turning point in restoring our relationship with the elves.”

No one stopped him while he was speaking.

“Even if not, the fact that warlocks are near the estate is reason enough for us to subdue them. and… .”

Because there was no one here to object to his coherent arguments and the evidence supporting him.

“Even if we don’t really get anything, we have to go.”

Allen put the last advantage in his mouth as if this was the end of it.

“If we can regain our influence on the territorial boundaries with the elves, that alone can be seen from the outside as the beginning of the revival of the family.”

‘Of course, if you don’t show the changed image after this, that’s the end of it.’ However, considering the future achievements of Julius and Allen, that would not be the case.

‘It’s about saving the world.’

Allen was cynical and glanced at the future ‘hero’. Julius was looking at Allen with her blank eyes.

When he finished speaking, the inside of the conference room turned into silence.

Gaiel closed his eyes as if to organize his thoughts for a moment, then nodded slowly.

“okay. If you know who your enemies are and can use them… , well worth a try.”

Gaiel seemed to have predicted the enemy’s power by combining the clues of the elves’ attitude, the warlock, and the forest of divine beasts.

“Then I will give you a class of knights and 300 regular soldiers, Allen, you Julius will support you together… .”

“Come on, wait!”

Just when the meeting was about to end, Julius exclaimed late.

Gaiel’s curious gaze turned to him.

‘Is this going to end without anyone interrupting?’

I couldn’t.

It’s a great opportunity to make a snow stamp… !

‘If you follow the instructions of the quest, it is advantageous to proceed like this now… .’

If you do that, you will only be a bridesmaid.

Julius didn’t want that.

‘Because I,’

Because he was the chosen ‘protagonist’.

“Are you saying that this is how you decide to go out? No more objection or no… ?”

Julius, there was bewilderment in his eyes.

‘Why, did you say to go on the quest first?’

Or to help the elves at the expense of family opposition?

But, it’s already too late.

My father, who opposed the campaign, now agreed with Allen’s argument, and the Knights Commander and Gardel do not object.

Things were going as Allen had planned.

“Julius, do you oppose support?”

Gaiel opened his mouth with a puzzled face. Allen was silent the entire time he was talking, and then intervened just before breaking the meeting.

‘Maybe it has anything to do with that… .’

When Gaiel secretly made eye contact with Reina, she lowered her head as if she didn’t know.

“… That’s not it. It must have been dangerous, but I thought it would be a good idea to give it another thought.”

Julius seemed to go crazy in his embarrassment.

‘Do you want me to support you despite the opposition of your family?’

Apparently, it was written that way in the [quest window].

Weren’t you told to restore the relationship with the elves and go further to save the divine beast that was on the verge of corruption?

Julius also had plans to come into contact with that divine beast called the Hidden Boss in the original work, so he was going to follow along.

‘But why?’

Why is work proceeding without even having time to express the opinions that have been prepared?

“Didn’t you listen to Allen’s argument? Warlocks appear in the forest of divine beasts.”

“But you don’t know how powerful your enemies are.”

However, there was no need for him to assert the support of the elves, and the meeting had already proceeded without any interruption, and it was almost over without a word.

“If you narrow it down to the importance of the forest of divine beasts, the attitudes of the elves, and the enemy being a warlock, it’s not difficult to figure out the power.”

“The powers of the elves may not be lacking there, so I think it will be enough if we join forces.”

When his question was refuted, Julius forced the question.

“Even so, how can you be sure that there will be a stronger enemy than expected? For example, if even pagans intervened… .”

will you come out like that?

Allen asked with a hesitant look on his face.

“Julius, … Do you not trust your brother?”

When Allen played a calm but sad look, Julius had no choice but to clench his teeth and shake his head.

“… no. I trust your brother’s information. But if that happens… .”

When he said that, the knight leader, who had been silent until now, opened his mouth in a deep low tone.

“Our knights are not that weak.”

“No need to worry, I will go out on my own. Maybe Confucius doesn’t trust me?”

His firm but firm eyes turned to Julius.

“Basil Knight Commander is a rare strongman in the Western Kingdom, so it will be fine. Confucius Julius.”

After he followed him, the butler of Gardel opened his mouth appropriately, and Julius, who was trying to raise an objection somehow, had no choice but to answer with a twitching his lips.

“… no. I was too sensitive.”

When the situation was over, Gaiel continued what he had said before and concluded.

“Since it has been decided to support, I understand that 300 soldiers and half of the knights, including the knights commander, will participate with Allen and Julius.”

“Julius, do you have any other opinions?”

Allen looked at Julius with a dissatisfied face and swallowed a laugh.

“… There is not.”

Gaiel snorted briefly.

“It’s a contest.”

It signaled the end of the meeting that had begun abruptly.

After the meeting, they immediately prepared to go out.

Allen looked at the soldiers preparing in an orderly manner at the outdoor training ground.

In the meantime, the knights were busy moving and checking the equipment.

Allen’s expression frowned upon seeing them.

Allen put aside their expectations of them when they were silent about Julius’s idealism.

I just hope that one day I will be judged on him.

He looked at them with disappointment for a moment, then turned his head.

and found

A place a little far from other knights.

“Think about it. Could it be better to come under me?”

“Confucius, I have no intention of supporting anyone.”

“Isn’t that what you mean? I am discriminated against because you live here… .”

Julius was having a conversation with one of the knights.

No, it would be more accurate to say that Julius was squealing rather than having a conversation.

Allen’s eyes turned to the knight. A well-groomed appearance and dark black hair.

‘Camilla Carter.’

The knight who gave Linbell’s basic education, and a knight of the Knights Templar belonging to the family.

‘The only knights from commoners.’

Her father is one of the drivers of the mansion’s wagons.

By chance, the previous knight commander noticed her talent and joined the Knights Templar, thanks to that… .

‘I am being discriminated against.’

She wasn’t insulted or beaten, but she was being bullied by other knights.

Did you end up being Julius’ subordinate in your previous life?

‘I can’t remember.’

At some point she disappeared from his journey, so little was known about her.

Because Julius’s subordinates disappeared like that were countless.

“No, am I different? Do you know what my reputation is these days?”

“I know. However… , sorry.”

Allen thought for a moment to sign her, but then stopped.

‘not now.’

It was determined that the role was limited to recruit her, and the appropriate time to bring her under his control was still far away.

‘You don’t have to touch it yet.’

I had to mature it a little more.

Like ‘he’, who is already starting to color properly.

‘… I wish she could move as she expected.’

Allen did not interfere with their future set.

because it will be available

After another 30 minutes had passed, the soldier shouted loudly.

“Sir! All the Knights! Ready.”

When he turned his head, the knight commander had already finished preparing and got on his horse.

“older brother! welcome!”

Allen smiled brightly and got on the horse.

“Sorry for being late.”

The midday sunlight still warmed the earth, and the soldiers who had completed their preparations felt a strict discipline.

The knight commander exclaimed loudly.

“Then, it’s time to participate!”

“It’s a contest!”

After the knights sang, the troops began to leave the mansion.

‘Now is the beginning.’

Allen’s eyes turned to the forest of divine beasts beyond the mountain range.

It’s time to get a clue about your brother.
