Genius Is Taught by Geniuses - Genius Is Taught by Geniuses chapter 99
099 – Morgoth (4)
Charlotte ran towards the Paladins.
The total number of paladins is 7.
The reason Irene and Linia were able to block those 7 people without raising their swords was because their movements were excellent, but the movements of the paladins were very monotonous and sluggish.
‘Strange.’
An hour ago, I thought it was possible because it was a surprise attack to subdue the three paladins at once in front of the Celtic Hotel.
But now, sharing the sword with these paladins, it was very strange.
tuk-
Irene clenched the paladin’s fist.
As a three-star knight, the paladin’s attack was heavy.
But it was too monotonous.
Rather, the forest keeper’s attack on the vines was more complicated.
Irene evaded the hands and feet that were reaching out from all directions like a loach, and put her fists in her stomach.
“Uh-huh!”
The paladin recalled all the food he ate this evening.
Irene’s fist was an attack that could withstand it if there was only one Auror ring.
However, this paladin seemed to be too difficult to utilize all three rings, so he was using three rings as one.
For example, when Irene just came to power, she invested a ring on her ankle to close the distance with the paladin in an instant, and the other one turned her sixth sense to guard against attacks pouring in from all directions, and the last one was a fist. invested in the government to overthrow
The split use of this ring would be a very basic skill that knights should possess, but these paladins simply believed in their fists and rushed like wild boars.
And even if you can’t handle a sword, having 2 or 3 rings means that you are confident in using your body to some extent.
However, these paladins, like goblins and gnolls, focused only on instinctive attack and defense, and moved ignorantly as if they had given up psychological warfare.
Even a simple attack like this could be avoided with eyes closed.
“Uh-huh!”
Linia also knocked out a high kick to the temple of the paladin he was facing.
It seemed that Linia did not know that this would be the case, and she seemed a little perplexed.
But now that I have been fighting the Paladins, I can be sure.
These paladins are very strange.
Then Charlotte joined in.
One of the paladins tried to draw a sword.
The reason why I haven’t drawn the sword so far is because I thought that if I pulled out the sword in this situation, I might not be able to go to the Gillion Kingdom and I might have to spend the rest of my life in a prison or a labor camp in the Lucet Empire.
However, one by one, his teammates were suppressed, and his hand went to the sword without him knowing.
However, Charlotte explosively charged in front of the paladin and thrust a fist into the man’s septum.
Wow-!
With the proud feeling of his ribs being crushed, he bounced and flew away.
“This bastard!”
The Paladins next to them reached out to grab Charlotte’s limbs and throw them away.
Again, only the speed was fast, but the direction of the attack was monotonous.
– A straight line corresponds to a curve.
As Tigris advised, Charlotte gently grabbed the hand reaching out from the right and covered it.
thud-!
The paladin was suffocated for a moment due to the impact that was strong enough to break the floor.
Charlotte stepped on the man’s chin, stunned.
Suddenly, Irene and Linia also knocked down all the paladins they were in charge of.
Linia said looking at the stunned paladins.
“Aren’t these people a little strange?”
“It wasn’t like those famous white lion knights.”
The Knights of the White Lion are knights who protect the king, royalty, and priests of the Gilion Kingdom.
If they had only this level of skill, I thought that the future of the Gillion Kingdom would be a little bleak.
When the situation was settled, Morgoth limped out of the Rainbow Bridge.
“······thank you.”
“no. Better get out of here than that.”
Because the commotion was so great, the police and the Paladins from the Kingdom of Gillion would all come.
In particular, if Lord Leopard, the deputy commander of the White Lion Knights, came, he had no choice but to hand over Morgoth.
At that moment, an ambulance rushed towards Charlotte.
“Step back.”
Charlotte, Irene, and Linia drew their swords and looked out for the carriage.
Ambulance wagons come before cops?
As Charlotte remembers, the only ones who can call an ambulance are the police and the guards who have a crystal orb with direct access to a nearby hospital.
According to the order, it is correct that the wagons the police are riding on come first, followed by the ambulance wagons.
The coachman driving the ambulance waved his hand.
“Charlotte! Come on ride!”
The coachman’s face was different, but his voice was very familiar.
It was Rakan.
The four of them got into the carriage and sighed in relief.
“I can breathe now.”
I don’t know how Rakan saved him in time, but thanks to him, he survived.
The wagon that Rakan had rescued was a wagon that transported emergency patients, so it passed right through without being checked by the police and security guards.
Rakan handed a small artifact inside the carriage.
“An artifact with clean magic. Just say ‘clean’ and it will automatically be clean.”
I knew who gave me to use it.
Morgotte was carefully articulated.
“thank you.”
Morgotte used the Clean Magic on the blanket, and the dirt on her hair fell down cleanly onto the blanket.
There was no refreshing feeling like taking a shower, but I was satisfied with the fact that there was no smell from the body.
Morgotte wrapped up a blanket of dirt on her own and nailed it in a corner.
“By the way, how did Rakan find out that we were at Rainbow Bridge?”
“I didn’t find out.”
“then?”
“You know there are golden knights who are secretly protecting the three of you, right? They called me on an emergency line.”
“ah. right. they were there uh? Wait a moment.”
Come to think of it, when I escaped from the Celtic Hotel, only the east side of the road was clean.
As if telling them to move east.
During those four months at the Rainbow Bridge, no additional troops from the Paladins came.
There was no stopping until Rakan brought an ambulance wagon.
“Did the Golden Knights already know where Prince Morgoth was located?”
“I was able to track it down easily thanks to a chance meeting with Charlotte.”
Morgotte said, remembering the police who took him to the Rainbow Bridge.
“Then the policeman must be…”
“no. The cop really met by chance. Originally, Agent Inquisitor was going to contact me, but things got a little messed up because the police took Prince Morgoth along the way. Well, it’s a consequential story, but it’s probably because the problem has been resolved.”
Charlotte said in a puzzled way.
“But how do you know all that? And why are you helping Prince Morgoth’s asylum?”
“Actually, my original mission was to closely observe Prince Morgoth. My role is to help them escape if something happens.”
“Then why are you doing that?”
“Because it’s something I can’t explain. To be precise, do you have no authority?”
Rakan stopped the carriage.
“Once we got to our destination, we’ll talk about this later. Sorry for not replying right away.”
“······no. If you are, then so be it.”
Charlotte felt uncomfortable with Rakan’s words.
And I knew the reason very well.
It was because he was so envious that Rakan was more needed by the Empire and Tigris than himself, regardless of being a noble or commoner.
“Thank you for your understanding.”
“Nope.”
Charlotte hid her feelings and opened the door.
It was a familiar front door.
It was the palace.
* * *
Morgotte headed to the hospital in the Imperial Palace for a medical check-up, and the three of them headed to the Palace of Spring at the Princess’s call.
The princess greeted the three of them on the terrace.
Charlotte paid her respects to Princess Rain Rover as the representative.
“I see the great golden clan.”
“Take an example. Charlotte. You worked really hard today.”
Rain Rover hugged Charlotte and the three of them tightly.
“If it weren’t for the three of us, something really bad would have happened. Sir Bergang and the Golden Knights were just about to leave, and suddenly this happened… I am so grateful.”
“Isn’t this exile not planned?”
“Originally, the exile operation was scheduled to take place the next day. The foreign minister, Michael Michael, noticed Prince Morgoth’s exile, so he had no choice but to try to asylum. If I missed today, Prince Morgoth would have teleported to the Kingdom of Gillion.”
For some reason, the entire exile operation seemed to be going strangely, but there was a story behind it.
If it had been a proper operation, there would have been no room for Charlotte and the three of them to intervene.
Rain Rover pointed to the terrace chair.
“Let’s sit down and talk for a bit. I have some questions, and the three of us will also have some questions.”
“Yes. Okay. majesty.”
The three sat down opposite the Rain Rover.
“But how did you come up with the idea of going to the Celtic Hotel?”
“On the way home, I stumbled upon Sir Leopard in plain clothes and the other paladins, urgently looking for something. We had a gut feeling that something was happening on the part of the Order of the Holy Knights, so we ‘headed to the Celtic Hotel’ to do a separate investigation.”
“But usually when you come across something like that, it just passes by, doesn’t it? Why did you want to investigate?”
“That is······.”
After Charlotte hesitated a bit, Irene spoke instead.
“We wanted to confirm whether we could be helpful to Master.”
Charlotte nodded and said.
“I have learned something from the Golden Knights for two months, and I don’t think my skills are falling behind compared to other knights of the same class. So I started investigating with curiosity.”
Linia wiggled her fingers and said.
“However, through this job, I learned that you can’t do big things simply with your skills. Prince Morgoth told us this. It is said that this may damage the honor of your brother and the family. Then, I hesitated for a moment. In fact, if the Kingdom of Gillion risked this and fell, it would be difficult for my brother and the family.”
“But why did you decide to help Prince Morgot until the end?”
Charlotte said, looking directly into Rain Rover’s eyes.
“Because that’s the right thing to do.”
Rain Rover looked into Charlotte’s dignified eyes.
And I remembered the record of Charlotte mentioned by Tigris.
– An arrogant knight who thinks he can do anything for the sake of justice.
– But he is the most knightly knight.
Charlotte fought against Rota’s hand and the Chimeras alone to evacuate civilians during the Great Invasion of Victory, and eventually defended them.
Could it not have been that such an upright and just heart could become her sharp sword and kill Rota’s hand?
Rain Rover seemed to understand why Tigris was so upset the moment he saw Charlotte alive.
For the regretful Tigris, Charlotte’s straight eyes and conviction would have looked like the most beautiful and perfect knight in the world.
“It is the duty of a knight to do the right thing. And that’s the real value of the Empire. So don’t worry about this. Not me, the Empire will surely repay you for your courage.”
At Rain Rover’s words, the faces of the three men visibly brightened.
It was like seeing a fresh article, so Rain Rover laughed without knowing it.
“Ah, I have a question for you, can I ask you a question?”
“yes. ask.”
“Why was Rakan helping Prince Morgoth in exile?”
Rain Rover thought for a moment before opening his mouth.
“It’s a top secret, but I’ll tell you because you’ll have a lot to do with Rakan. Rakan is an Inquisitor agent.”
It seemed that all the puzzles had now been solved.
The reason Tigris often called Rakan was because Rakan was an Inquisitor agent.
It wasn’t because they didn’t believe in them, but because Rakan was an agent officially recognized for his abilities by the Empire, so he was carrying out various secret missions.
“When did Rakan become an Inquisitor agent?”
“I was accepted as an Inquisitor agent for my work in the Chimera Lab case and finding Viscount Kayle.”
“It was, too. But what does it mean to have a lot to do with Rakan?”
The princess took a sip of the cold water and said.
“Sir Tigris has always emphasized this to me. What the three of you need is swordsmanship education, but also experience. Like mercenaries, the three of you will be on a small mission with Rakan if you need a golden knight or an Inquisitor.”
“Is that true?”
“Of course, there must also be an official position. Let’s not hesitate over the subject of responsibility like this time Prince Morgoth’s exile operation.”
The three men’s faces brightened.
Its appearance is quite cute, and Princess Rain Rover brought out a smile.
“Are there any other questions?”
“Ah yes. What will happen to Prince Morgoth now?”
“The approval of His Majesty has already been lost, so after midnight today, the people will be officially under the protection of the Empire. Of course, depending on the level of information that Prince Morgoth can provide to the Empire, the rank will be determined and the amount of the settlement subsidy will vary.”
“okay. But the relationship with the Kingdom of Gillion will be irreversibly damaged, is it okay?”
Rain Rover said with a firm expression.
“The relationship between the Kingdom of Lucet and the Kingdom of Gillion has already become irreversible.”
“Is this because of the Lux Church incident?”
“yes. That’s right. This is a much bigger case than the three of you might think.”
At the request of Foreign Minister Michael, it was not announced that the paladins and priests were to drink human blood on a regular basis.
If even this was announced, the foundations of the Gillion Kingdom would be completely shaken.
Instead, he decided to release all the beasts in the kingdom of Gillion, kill all the poachers, and receive the recruits and research results of all researchers related to the Chimera Lab.
And in the first place, the information that the paladins and priests should drink blood was better not known from the Lucet Empire’s point of view.
Later, when war with the Kingdom of Gillion was imminent or when the Kingdom of Gillion began to wage a public opinion war against the Kingdom of Lucet, it was better to have at least one means of counterattacking.
“And if the news of Prince Morgoth’s exile spreads, it can shake the internal public opinion of the Gillion Kingdom, and it will be a good opportunity to unite the people of the Lucet Empire, so there is nothing wrong with the Empire.”
“ah······!”
Why couldn’t Charlotte think like this? Tak her forehead! hit
The Kingdom of Gillion and the Kingdom of Lucet are already in an irreversible state.
Meanwhile, if the news that the prince of Gillion tried to assassinate Prince Matthew, who was called the next king, tried to assassinate, spread throughout the continent, it would only be good for the Lucet Empire.
“Why didn’t we think of that?”
“If you can think of such political and diplomatic issues in that chaotic situation, the article would have already been completed. So, more experience is needed.”
Princess Rain Rover looked at her watch and opened her mouth.
“Now is the time to part ways. Because this operation was conducted like roasting beans in a lightning bolt, problems arose from all sides.”
“Oh, we took our time.”
“no. I need time to talk to the three of you.”
Rain Rover stood up.
“Then be careful. Have a good rest until tomorrow.”
“yes. All right.”
The steps of the three were very light.
* * *
Michael threw the glass he was holding.
Clink!
“therefore! Did you miss Prince Morgoth right in front of you?!”
Leopard lowered his head and said.
“······sorry.”
“How can you educate eight people by just three people?! Do you think that makes sense?!”
Leopard had a lot to say.
The Paladins of the White Lion Knights are all descendants of Tempe.
Tempe’s clan can quickly increase the number of rings, but controlling Aurors is pure talent.
It can be made stronger by increasing the amount of Aurors and increasing the number of rings, but the skill to deal with them is inferior, so the overall weakness was inevitable.
Originally, this weakness was overcome with the Holy Restoration spell, but the disciples of Tigris beat them all down without giving them a chance to recover.
But he knew that these excuses could not quell Michael’s anger.
Leopard bowed his head more deeply.
“······sorry.”
“sorry. sorry! Can’t you just do this? If that’s the case, I’ll keep a parrot.”
Michael sat down on the chair with his head wrapped around him.
“shit! we are dead From the moment we set foot in the kingdom of Gillion, we will be in that terrible dungeon.”
It was a situation where the Lucet Empire already had a weakness, and even Prince Morgoth, who knew all the dark parts of Prince Matthew, had fled, so he was really mad and jumping.
Leopard opened his mouth carefully.
“But that doesn’t mean there isn’t a way.”
“What can I do?”
“Strictly speaking, Prince Morgoth is a criminal from the point of view of the Kingdom of Gillion. It is as if we were attacked by the disciples of Tigris while we were looking for the criminal.”
“But didn’t they foolishly touch the police first? They were trying to save the police, so if you open a public opinion battle, there is no answer.”
“Still, it’s not enough to kill a person’s life.”
“Are people dying? who? ah.”
Michael remembered Sir Scott, who had returned like a drowning mouse.
“greatness. okay. If one of the White Lion Knights was forced to die, what would you do?”
“Since a member of the Knights Templar who went out to pursue criminals in the Kingdom of Gillion died, I, as the deputy commander of the Knights of the White Lions, have an excuse to go out.”
“But they have Tigris. What if Tigris replaces him in the name of restoring the honor of his disciples?”
“Tigris is not currently in Victoria.”
Michael tilted his head.
“What do you mean? Do you know that Tigris is training the Golden Knights?”
“If there was Tigris, there would be no way he would not have assisted Prince Morgoth in this exile operation. And during the three days we stayed in Victorie, Tigris didn’t even see his nose.”
“Hmm… So, Tigris is not currently in Victoria?”
“Isn’t that a conceivable enough guess? And who would be great enough to kill the Marquis Baros? There is only 100% Tigris.”
After thinking for a moment, Michael opened his mouth.
“So you’re saying you’re going to a duel yourself?”
“It’s out of shape for me to go out on my own. However, among the Knights of the White Lion, there is one veteran knight who can defeat Charlotte enough. Even the same three-star knight as Charlotte.”
“Are there any chances that the Empire will intervene?”
“The Empire will intervene, but it has no right to prevent a duel. And there’s no reason for the Empire to stop him, even though he’s going to match him with someone of the right level.”
“What is the price of the duel?”
“It may not be a life-or-death decision, but wouldn’t it be possible to receive a sincere apology without one thumb?”
Charlotte bowing down to Michael in front of everyone.
It seemed like it would be fine.
“You are responsible.”
Leopard nodded.
“Yes. All right.”
* * *
The next day, in front of the Norbert Tower.
Sir Leopard’s hand trembled.
“So you mean to blame my disciple?”
“No, that’s….”
Tigris nodded.
“I see. I think my disciple is innocent, but you may think differently. The Paladin of the White Lion Knights died, and it is your honor to step down as it is.”
Tigris said as he drew his sword.
“Blood should be washed with blood. Are you going to do it life-and-death?”
“Until Lord Tigris came out on his own…”
“It is the duty of a teacher to restore the honor of a disciple. Since your knight is also dead, wouldn’t it be better for you to go out on your own?”
“·················ogue.”
Leopard was sweating.
“So what kind of duel are you going to do?”
Leopard looked around.
Not only the paladins under his command, but also reporters and citizens were all gathered.
Charlotte had deliberately raised the rumors loudly to avoid avoiding a duel, but she had no idea that this would hold her back.
“Please use fresh moisture.”
Leopard still wanted to live.
