Chapter 66.2: Ergency Call (1)
Burkhorn, the capital of Enrock.
After a considerable amount of ti had passed, the carriage arrived at the castle.
Although I had returned after more than half a year, there was no particular feeling of returning ho.
It hadn’t been that long since I stayed here in the first place.
The first person to greet at the castle gate was Floto, the butler.
He, who had always maintained a good poker face, seed a little nervous.
Not only that, but the atmosphere of the knights standing in line were also the sa, and the reason was obvious.
“Who ca to the castle?”
“···Yes, the Knights of the Overlord’s Castle visited just recently.”
It seed that the news had already reached the Overlord.
There was no reason to think that the response was quick.
I didn’t act in a hurry, and the Overlord must have had enough ti to understand the situation.
I also brought Gulpiro and the siblings into the castle.
And I spent my ti casually.
Because if I wait, there would be a reaction from the other side soon, so there was nothing I could do.
In the anti, I could feel the eyes constantly watching from far away places around the castle.
I didn’t care because it was obvious that it was a watcher sent by the Overlord Castle. I might leave the castle, so they monitored .
Then after about a half an hour had passed.
Kkiiig!
I got up from my seat and looked out the window at the faint sound in the distance.
Three huge creatures flying towards the castle from the other side of the sky ca into view. It was a wyvern.
And the people who were on it…
They’re here.
I went out of the room and said to Asher, who was at the door.
“Take the siblings and Gulpiro and wait in the castle. And if you hear bad news, do as I said.”
She looked like she had a lot to say, but then nodded her head with a firm face.
“···All right.”
I left her and went downstairs to the atrium.
The butler imdiately approached in the cool atmosphere outside and spoke to .
“They said they ca to deliver the Overlord’s ssage.”
Soon after, three people appeared in the hall.
A dwarf, a man wearing a robe, and a knight.
I stood face to face with them and looked at them in turn.
There was a chilly atmosphere in the central hall.
【Lv. 96]
【Lv. 89]
The two were familiar faces.
The First Lord, the Wiseman and chief of staff, Dayphon.
【Lv. 95]
And the knight in black armor standing on the right is probably…
He’s the leader of the Black Star Order.
Their leader, Kradiel.
If the Chief of Staff was the Overlord’s left arm, he was the Overlord’s right arm and the most powerful knight in Calderic.
Unlike the Lords, the Knights of Black Star were loyal to the Overlord and only obeyed her orders.
“The Overlord has declared an ergency call, Seventh Lord.”
The Wiseman, ard with armor and a sword that emits a subtle five-color brilliance, spoke first.
“I don’t think you don’t know the reason, so I’ll start by checking the facts. Are you the Seventh Lord who fought the Sixth Lord in Mahea City and killed him in the end?”
There was no point in denying it, so I nodded my head.
“Yes.”
“Why did you kill the Sixth Lord?
“It doesn’t seem necessary to say that now.”
“Can I take that word as a aning of obediently complying with the summons?”
The Wiseman asked with sullen eyes. A force field roared like a haze around his armor.
The leader of Black Star also gently squeezed the hand that was on the hilt of the sword.
A chilly yet suffocating tension perated the hall.
I sat quietly facing them, then opened my mouth.
“Yes.”
If that wasn’t the case in the first place, would I even return here?
And that would have been well known to all three of them.
Then the chief of staff ca forward and said:
“I heard that you saved a human brother and sister from Actipol’s gladiator match. If it has anything to do with them….”
“I’m the only one going.”
I cut off the conversation adamantly.
He looked back at Wiseman with a stiff face, and the other nodded.
“Okay. Then we’ll go straight to Overlord Castle.”
Had all the other Lords gathered by now?
I was curious about that, but I didn’t have to ask, because I would find out soon anyway.
I looked at the chief of staff.
Returning to the castle right away, it was obvious that he would use his teleportation skill. As expected, he walked out first.
“Co to my side. I’ll teleport you.”
I walked over to the three of them and stood there.
Soon, with a huge flow of magical power, the surrounding field of vision was distorted.
