Knights, Let’s Smash Them - Knights, Let’s Smash Them chapter 104
104 – Inconvenient Daily Life (4)
“Ow, ow, ow…” … This is 100% boneless. It really hurts!!”
“So, who is dressed so suspiciously?”
“I will claim damages for this unconditionally. I will refer you to the imperial court!”
“Yes, no. What kind of motherf*cker is a grown-up child?”
“That’s right, Um-sal!”
As Pirhak murmured, Lucy chimed in from the side. My daughter also told me not to be overbearing, where.
The blue-haired adventurer looked at him like that and replied in a voice that he was tired of it.
“Hey~ I really have become a daughter-in-law now. My father and I get along really well.”
“My Lucy is like me, so she catches bluffs amazingly well.”
“The famous detective father and daughter were together.”
“Gorum Gorum.”
As I looked at Lucy with her arms wide open, Lucy jumped up and sat on my lap as if she had been waiting.
How come I can’t see it, it seems to be bigger. Last time, the top of the head was left even when the head was lowered, but now the top of the head is clearly visible even when the head is not lowered.
“So? What did you come for? Where do you leave your sister-in-law?”
“Come on. You woke up early from sleep last time too. He’s been complaining of a sleep disorder lately.”
Dragon has a sleep disorder.
That person, no, his use is so bizarre.
Although he was no ordinary dragon at the point of already falling in love with a human.
“Yes…… ? Since you came like this, get a prescription for a potion related to a good night’s sleep from the most famous alchemist in our territory.”
“When the time comes. Anyway, that’s not what’s important.”
Pirhak’s eyes flashed.
“Do you remember the swordsmanship textbook found in the Golden Dragon’s Lair in Tiffen Village last time?”
“Obviously.”
A secret document containing the essence of the dragon knight Orgius. It is a swordsmanship that Xianne has been practicing every single day since she first obtained it.
Of course, it seems that there is no progress so that the burning will is colorless…….
The legacy left by a great hero who made his name hundreds of years ago can’t be that easy to learn. If that were the case, dogs or cows would have become swordsmen.
“I received a request to find that secret book. That’s a diamond-level request.”
I couldn’t help but feel something strange about Pirhak’s words. The only story known to the public about the end of Orgius is that he entered the Ardaros Mountains and disappeared.
In other words, it means that no one knows that Orgius wrote a book containing the vision of the Heavenly Sword.
Pir Haq confirmed my expression and nodded.
“Did you feel something strange too?”
“Who is the client?”
“Anonymous. It looks like you paid quite a bit for silence.”
“Is it too suspicious to be suspicious?”
Even Orgius is actually a hero remembered only in and around Rupel. Even if he wrote a legend close to a myth, it will eventually be forgotten as time passes.
But at this timing, the legend of Orgius is suddenly being re-examined?
From the standpoint of knowing the truth, I could only think that there was some ulterior motive.
First of all, it was a question of how he noticed that there was a secret book.
“Did you come to tell me about that?”
“Yeah, it doesn’t feel too good. I didn’t even get a request.”
Pirhak is excellent at intuition. Because as an adventurer, in order to survive as a dangerous job, he had to have superior intuition than anything else.
If such a guy felt uneasy, he seemed to have something.
I thought about it for a while, but then I thought I should tell you about the recent events in Rupel Mansion.
“Actually… ….”
From the intermittent earthquakes in the northern regions to the Arachne Chimera.
When I told him about the events that had occurred over the course of half a year, Pirhak replied with a serious expression.
“Is that why you started off with a drop kick?”
“Of course not.”
“Let’s pretend there was no claim for damages. It is an acknowledgment.”
And you’re a dangerous bastard in the true sense of the word, dragonfilia bastard.
Of course, I don’t think he’s crazy enough to keep an eye on his friend’s daughter, but since he doesn’t know anything about people, it’s better to be vigilant.
“First of all, I knew very well that the northern part, including Rupel’s territory, was under threat. The situation is not serious.”
“He’s a kid who controls worms and even handles chimeras. Just by looking at it, the circle must be high.”
“Um.”
Warlocks are not subject to different standards than normal wizards. It was also common for them to express their strength as a ‘circle’.
“The calf you caught during the expedition was a 7th circle, right?”
“Yes, in fact, I was able to rub against the Demon King alone.”
“This must be at least 4 circles, then.”
“…… That’s why it hurts Just looking at it, it’s not an easy opponent.”
Pir Haq nodded his head wordlessly.
“First of all, it would be good for you to take Lucy with you. That Regius is an elven adventurer, so it will be much safer.”
Orgius Sky Sword and Lucy. These are two keywords that are entangled in a definite causal relationship. The situation, which was mere speculation, has now reached a level close to certainty.
“First of all, I will investigate how the Orgius Cheongeomsik was leaked. If the Imperial Court and the imperial court inspectors also came, it would be easy to catch the black magician who had nested in Rupel’s estate.”
“That’s right.”
If you don’t catch it, the problem will get serious from then on. This is a position where even a saint was mobilized.
Rupel’s territory has already reached a level that alone can’t handle, but if it gets further twisted here, it will become a disaster that can shake the entire empire.
“Anyway…… My butt hurts. Suffer.”
Pirhak stood up from his seat and said. It’s been a long time since I’ve been here, so I told him to meet Bernard, but he coolly refused.
“Because that unnecessarily talented bastard will say all sorts of curse words only if you meet him.”
“…… Actually, you have accumulated a lot.”
It wasn’t a personality feud, but Bernard’s one-sided enthusiasm.
“Go.”
“Yes. Thanks for the news.”
To be honest, I was a bit impressed.
The nest where Persuscaron lives is never close to Rupel’s territory. As far as the Volibert Empire boasts a relatively long territory,
“Goodbye, handsome man!”
As Lucy shakes his hand, Pir Haq’s face instantly straightens and the corners of his mouth twitch.
“Hey, stop moving. Are you happy to be praised for your appearance, or are you happy to be praised by my daughter?”
Then, Pirhak replied with a grin, as if asking if he was asking something obvious.
“Both.”
Your taste is really the same, you crazy bastard.
From noble mtl dot com.

“Lucy!”
“Mom!”
Lucy, who also ran out of Odo, fell into Xianne’s arms. She must have been worried for a long time, with tears welling up in her eyes, and she let out a sigh of relief as she held Lucy in her arms.
“I’m glad you’re all right.”
“I think it would be better to keep going together for a while.”
“Unconditionally.”
“By the way, did you find anything else in that hideout?”
He jumped out just as he was about to start the search. Since the saintess and the Imperial Court had just arrived, I wonder if they found out something.
But Xianne just shook her head.
“No… ….”
“Hasn’t the whole library been filled with books? There was not a single clue in all those records?”
“Most of them were magic books that were commonly available. Of course, there were also forbidden books related to black magic, but the saintess said that these are forbidden books that can be easily found in the ‘Great Library of Trent.’”
“That means no singularity was found.”
“If there is one piece of information, though, it is theirs.”
Xianne took out a beautifully decorated badge from her pocket.
A green vine wrapped around a cross.
‘Blaukreuz’.
As soon as she saw the pattern, she almost reflexively cursed out of her mouth.
“Ha.”
“You knew that.”
“Of course. How much trouble she had with her during the great expedition.”
It was the worst secret society and magic group in history. At the time, I thought they subdued the roots, but in the end, they crawled out like cockroaches.
“Does the saintess know?”
“Yes, they said that they would immediately declare a state of emergency in Laterano and postpone the scheduled ‘Conclave’ later.”
If Blaukreuz was resurrected, that would be an emergency situation that even the Imperial Court could not easily overlook.
Even if the ceremony to elect the next emperor is important, the priority is to rule out the direct threat that is starting to emerge rapidly right now.
Anyway, it pops up just when you’re about to try a proper tycoon.
The timing couldn’t be this extreme.
With this in mind, virtually all the projects we were promoting had no choice but to become all-stop.
“Earl Rupel is also expressing serious concern about this incident. That’s why they seem to want to actively utilize the Snow Leopard Knights.”
Once you realize that you’ve been bullied in Monterto, there is no guarantee that other towns and villages in the territory will be safe.
Rather than concentrating troops on Monterto, where the Imperial Court and the Imperial Family have focused their attention, it would be more helpful to maintain local security if the Snow Leopard Knights were dispersed.
“I agree.”
According to the Count’s order, the Snow Leopard Knights were scattered throughout the territory from the next day.
This was possible thanks to the recent strengthening of the regular knights, including the Squire.
The result.
I was almost forced to stay in Monterto for the safe ‘protection’ of Lucy.
“…… Brother?”
“I’m sorry, saintess!! I wasn’t really in a good mood back then…….”
I was entrusted with the close assistant to the saintess, which I absolutely did not want to do.
“Wow, Dad, who is this? Big ass!”
“Lu, Lucy!!! What kind of habit is that to the saintess!?”
“Huh? Didn’t Dad just think so too?”
“Are you capable of mind reading now?”
Let’s not stop there, and let’s overlap with Lucy’s frankness, who has been stuck 24 hours a day.
“Wh, what!? Brother Alroy of Luberne!! Did you even tell your foster daughter such a strange thing!? You really…!”
I was almost out of breath.
I’d rather kill you…….
