Episode 1037. Did the light fall only on my feet?
Magus Killian Duke of Hale looked at Elio with aningful eyes.
The Duke of Escatos also gave information he did not know.
Withdrawal of the Corvo Magic Corps and re-activation of the Warlock.
If he had a mind, he would not be able to reject his offer.
Who would refuse career and safety?
But there was. such a person
“As I said, I will go when the crack problem is resolved.”
“That rift is not a problem that can be solved by hanging on for years. Even if it can’t be done, it will remain as the howork of the Northern Kingdoms for centuries, no, considering its vast scale.”
“Did you say the warlock would resu its activity in a month or four?”
“At least 7 circles, maybe 8 circles. In addition, if Terminus is installed in Hirhera, the 9th circle magic is also possible. To be honest, I’m no match for him either. Even if you are a sword master, it will be difficult to save your life.”
“If we don’t stop the warlocks from Hiruhera, the empire will be swept into chaos soday. Is that okay?”
“At that ti, the entire continent will step in and find a solution. But if you stay here, you will most likely die.”
“Thank you for the offer for , but I will stay.”
“Why? Isn’t the savage tribe lacking loyalty to the lord? In the yard where even your tribe was annihilated… what the hell are you going to stand up to the warlock for?”
Magus Killian Duke of Hale couldn’t understand Elio’s stubbornness.
If you want to succeed, you have to follow yourself.
It’s not like anyone knows.
There was no one to respect a barbarian nobleman.
Elio replied with a natural face.
“Peace in the world.”
For a mont, Magus Cillian Hale Duke burst into laughter.
“Heh heh heh.”
What is world peace?
Even young children don’t think like that.
But when I saw his serious face, it seed that he was sincere.
Still, the answer was so absurd that I couldn’t help but ask for confirmation.
“Are you serious?”
“yes.”
“Honestly, I’ve never heard of such a story in my entire life.”
Duke Cillian Hale, the Magus, stared intently at Elio.
It’s obviously stupid and sounds like an idiot, but it wasn’t unpleasant for so reason.
If a sword beginner had said sothing like that, he would have laughed at it.
However, the opponent is an advanced sword expert.
Maybe it really contributes greatly to world peace.
no i hoped so
Wouldn’t the world be fun only if there was at least one person like that?
“If you change your mind later, co find with the Corvo Magic Corps. His Majesty the Emperor doesn’t care about background, so he’ll welco you.”
“thank you. I’ll see you as soon as the rift is sorted out.”
Duke Magus Killian Hale shook his head excitedly as if he had lost.
Will you co back as soon as things are sorted out?
I’m not sure if I accepted the offer or a polite refusal.

Alpha Company 1st Platoon Barracks.
It was ti for the knights to fall asleep, so Elio silenced his footsteps and cautiously walked to his bed.
But that was his mistake.
“What does Duke Magus Killian Hale say?”
Starting with Fabian’s words, the knights stood up.
A bitter smile appeared on Elio’s lips.
Looking at the bright eyes, it seems that they have been waiting.
“It’s just as I expected.”
“Co to the Empire?”
“uh.”
“What do you think Elio will do?”
“He said he would co to see when the problem with the rift was resolved. I’m putting off my revenge because of the rift, but ‘yes!’ I can’t follow you.”
The faces of the knights, including Fabian, brightened.
“Good job.”
“You must not leave us.”
“I thought Elio-sama would refuse.”
Elio, who had been listening quietly, corrected Qunut’s words at the end.
“I didn’t refuse.”
“Then are you following Duke Magus Cillian Hale?”
“I told you. I will go when the rift problem is resolved.”
“Ah…”
Kunute nodded and said to himself.
“They say cracks aren’t a problem that can be easily resolved… I don’t know if the day will co when they will be resolved?”
“You must co. You can’t live in this snowfield for the rest of your life, can you?”
However, the knights seldom responded to Elio’s words.
They also knew how serious Hirhera’s situation was.
Even the court mage and the magic corps of the empire were put in, but the repair of the rift failed.
Then all that was left was to build the walls.
Even the 7th Circle’s ‘ga Ice Wall’ is made of cracks and wall construction… It’s
bleak just thinking about it.
Considering that the cracks grow a little bit every day, the construction of the wall is ten years? No, it might have taken a hundred years.
Cale, the eldest, spoke cautiously to Elio’s boast.
“Other knights say they don’t know how long it will take to repair the rift. The imperial mage also failed… Do you have any good moves?”
“It is if you stick to the payoff.”
“Is there anything more important than repairing a rift?”
“In fact, repairing cracks is not difficult once the cause is removed.”
“The cause?”
“They say the warlock created the rift. If you beat that warlock, repairing the rift won’t be difficult.”
“ah!”
Cale nodded at the simple yet clear solution.
Although, if he knew how dangerous the warlock was, his reaction would have been different.
Fabian sneaked in.
“Elio-sama, is the black magician we saw last ti in Tamion the culprit of the Hirhera Rift?”
“maybe?”
“Oh, I see.”
Fabian was about to say sothing, but looked around and shut his mouth.
It was because I rembered the report that I had ‘witnessed the black magicians’ belatedly.
‘At that ti, since Elio defeated the warlocks, the problem of the rift might be resolved sooner than people expected.’
Ridley said as he nodded.
“But I know that even a sword master cannot break an ice wall. If you’re a black magician who can break it, you’ll have a considerable level of magic, right?”
Elio then told the story of Duke Cillian Hale, Magus.
“They said that a black mage of 7th or higher class used the barrier of Shaitin, the evil god, to break it.”
“The barrier of Shaitin, the evil god?”
“That stake Fabian and I saw. It makes it possible to use higher level magic within a certain range.”
“omg! So you’re saying that a warlock can also use 8th or 9th circle magic?”
“Well, in theory, yes.”
“Since the ice wall is broken, isn’t it a theory?”
“Oh, that’s right.”
Elio readily acknowledged it.
Where did only the ice wall break?
There was a strong possibility that it was the black magician who destroyed Hirhera with the teor shower magic beyond imagination.
“I know that the 8th and 9th circles are difficult even for sword masters, is that okay?”
“You’ll have to tell if it’s long or short.”
The knights kept their mouths shut at Elio’s calm words.
As the atmosphere cooled, Fabian stepped out.
“There is also the Empire’s Corvo Magic Corps in the garrison, so it should be fine. The combination of Elio-sama and the Corvo Magic Corps is invincible.”
“that’s right. There was a corvo magic corps.”
“What if Duke Magus Killian Hale helps?”
“I forgot about that.”
The knights’ expressions brightened a little.
They thought it would be difficult with Elio alone, but it was worth trying with the Corvo Magic Corps.
Elio did not tell the hopeful knights that the Corvo Magic Corps would leave soon.
It’s because I don’t want to demoralize myself for sothing that isn’t certain yet.
***
Command barracks of Count Putocoa.
Tobias Putocoa sent everyone out except Viscount Colacio Keeper, leader of the Griffin Knights.
“The Duke of Escatos has sent a ssage that he has persuaded Elio. So tell your knights not to provoke or provoke Elio.”
“yes.”
“Have you heard of the failure of Duke Magus Killian Hale?”
“Yes, I heard.”
“What do you think His Highness Escatos IV will do?”
“I will ask for cooperation from the northern kingdoms.”
“What about the empire?”
“As it has been so far, it is highly likely to leave it to the northern kingdoms and fall back.”
“So say that the cracks will eventually be replaced by walls. Is that possible?”
“Now that the magic has failed, there is no other way than to build a wall. Eventually, it will be converted to wall construction.”
“It’s a castle wall…. Will it be ten years?”
“Considering the coldness of the north and the size of the ice walls… it will take more than that.”
“Do you think Elio will wait until then?”
“…”
Viscount Colacio Keeper was silent.
Everyone in the garrison is aware of Elio’s vengeful spirit toward Count Putocoa.
“If the troops of the Northern Kingdom gather in Hirhera… the troops monitoring the rift will be able to breathe. At that ti, if Elio wants to take revenge… Duke Escatos will pretend not to know. Am I wrong?”
“Keep it!”
A moan of pain flowed from Viscount Colacio Kiefer’s mouth.
right.
There is no doubt about the attitude of the Duke of Escatos and the Marquis Bernardo towards Putocoa.
“We must kill Elio before he draws his sword of vengeance. If he moves first, it’s too late. It will co right in front of us before we can do anything about it.”
At the word “slaughter,” Viscount Colacio Keeper raised his head.
“There is no knight in Putokoa that surpasses Helio. No matter how we manage to save the Champion, the nobles will laugh at us if we request a duel first.”
“Is there a Great Warrior?”
It’s kind of like sarcastic talk.
It was only then that Viscount Colacio Keeper realized that he had no great warrior in mind.
A warrior is a person who fights on behalf of the weak, such as children or elderly won, or those of high status.
‘You’re going to kill the enemy in a way other than the Great Warrior?’
It was like saying that he would use his hand secretly without revealing it.
‘Is it an assassination?’
According to Viscount Colacio Keeper’s throat, his dry saliva ‘gulp’ passed.
“Your lord, you can’t…”
“What are you trying to check when you know? Did the light fall only on my feet? I was the one who gave the order, but the one who put it into action is the knight commander. If you don’t want to die, you have no choice but to kill.”
“Of course I do, but… it was so sudden…”
“We don’t have much ti. It’s too late when the Northern Kingdom’s army cos. There will be no organization in the kingdom that can take on such a request. Secretly send soone to the imperial capital to find it.”
When the story of ‘organization’ ca out following the ‘request’, Viscount Colacio Keeper sighed.
I did it in case, but it’s still the sa.
It was a call to ask the assassination squad of the system to kill Elio.
“All right.”
“And the three barons we were detaining should be sent back to Putokoa. It’s only going to eat food if you take it with you.”
“I will send it right away.”
“Viscount Kiefer.”
“yes?”
“It’s not my job, it’s our job. It’s a one-ti opportunity that won’t happen again, so please act proactively.”
“yes!”
At the nagging of Tobias Putocoa, who was his son, Viscount Colacio Kiefer was a little hurt in his pride, but he did not show it.
It is also true that he was complacent compared to him, who could look ahead to the next few months.
