189

The day became very cold.

Around the time Johana, who had finished training today in the Frislan family fortress, was relaxing her muscles.

Alesia, who was walking around, came to the training room and greeted Johana.

“You always work hard!”

“Yeah, um… I have to work hard.”

There was also Rey’s advice, and I couldn’t be lazy because I was arguing with Spera right now.

Spera, whose self-esteem is pretty bad, was training hard and working hard, so if she was careless for a while, she would have been overtaken.

Johanna smiled slightly and asked Alesia.

“But what are you doing here?”

“I was just bored and came to see you!”

Alessia answered honestly.

There was no ray, and the range of action was very limited, so there was no entertainment.

Alessia looked around the training room and pointed to the training leather pants that Johana had taken off.

“Are you going to wash clothes these days?”

“…”

Johanna, with a wrinkled expression, brought her pants and held it to Alesia.

Alesia was so brave that she sniffed her pants at her and smiled broadly.

“It doesn’t smell like anything!”

I had to sweat a little. But it was a training uniform, so it was natural.

Yohana answered with a triumphant face.

“Thanks to Spera who received a few more training clothes, I wear them back and wash them often.”

“Didn’t you do that before…”

Johanna couldn’t even ask for more training clothes because she was noticing, but Alessia thought it was useless to worry about.

The artifacts Johanna received right away seemed to be the budget for a year in the Earl of Phillips. In Ernst’s eyes, Johanna was a worthwhile investment.

By the way, why did you pay attention to something like a training suit?

Alesia looked at Johana with envy, and Darren came to the training room.

“Sister, are you here?”

Yohana answered, putting her leather pants down on the floor.

“What’s up?”

“I have something to show you… Uh, Alesia-sama was here too?”

Darren smiled as he nodded to Alessia.

“It’s just fine. I wanted to show it to Alesia as well.”

Darren looked very excited.

While Johana and Alesia were waiting quietly, Darren drew the sword while spinning the mana of the core.

Soon, a blade of light that could be called a sword skill appeared on Darren’s sword.

“Look out.”

Having warned in advance, Darren fired his sword at a wooden target in the training room about 20 m away.

Kwagak!

The wooden target hit by the sword quickly became tattered.

Alessia gave her a round of applause.

“Oh…! That’s great…!!”

“Hehe…”

Darren, who had clearly proved that he had entered the state of an expert, couldn’t contain his joy and sighed.

Alesia, who looked up at Darren, whose mouth seemed to reach her ear, tried to calculate the date.

‘It’s only been a year since… Darren is now 18 years old.’

18 years old.

Alesia, who had been thinking up to that point, muttered involuntarily.

“I think Ray did that when he was 9 years old, but it took just twice as long!”

“…”

Darren’s expression softened.

Of course, the achievements of Darren deserved to be praised as a gifted or a genius wherever he went.

There weren’t many talented people in the world who were evaluated to be able to climb to the level of Grade 8, whether late or early.

However, even that Darren could not help but be humble compared to Rey.

In the first place, the madman who pulled out his sword at the age of 9 could not find it even though he searched the history books.

As Darren, who had just been excited, was feeling a little let down, Johana sprinted towards Alesia.

“Why are you killing Darren Ki?”

“Oh, that’s a misunderstanding. I didn’t mean to.”

“Alesia-sama, who says that, is still only in the 2nd circle!”

Alesia, who was beaten with facts, held onto her dizzying spirit and protested.

“Wait, the number of circles is not everything! And I will soon reach the level of the third circle!”

In response to Alesia’s protest, Yohana narrowed her eyes and raised the corners of her mouth.

“Wow! If you get to the 3rd circle, will Alesia-sama become as strong as Luna?”

“…”

Alesia, who had been silent for a while, declared her surrender while becoming soft.

“I was wrong…”

Even if you bring it and rub it, you bring Luna and rub it.

Alesia still couldn’t forget the humiliation she was brutally bullied by Luna in a mental arithmetic battle when she was young.

Alesia, who barely regained her energy, patted Yohana with her clenched fist and scolded him.

“Should I be so reprimanded for making one mistake?”

How much have I done for you!

You guys are eating and sleeping, but whoever got all the money!

When Alessia came out, even Johanna had nothing to say.

“I’m sorry. I was wrong.”

Alesia, who narrowed her eyes at the soulless Yohana’s apple, sighed deeply.

“I hope Rey comes back soon.”

Without Ray, there wasn’t much fun.

Karen was also very depressed.

Yohana nodded her head with a confused face.

“I want you to come back without getting hurt this time.”

“Well, I guess I don’t have to worry too much about that though.”

Because Luna is with me.

Alesia smiled broadly, thinking of Luna, who was joking around a whole mountain.

Ernst, who requested a solo session with the emperor, followed the Royal Guard’s guidance and entered the room after waiting.

Ernst first got down on his knees and tried to be polite, but then he stopped moving.

In a small room that would fill with a few tables, Prince Phoebus was waiting for Ernst.

“The Crown Prince?”

“Welcome. Marquis Frislan.”

“I see you, Crown Prince.”

After being polite, Ernst sat down in the prepared seat and asked carefully.

“Your Majesty…”

“You’re very bad.”

“…”

Ernst took a deep breath.

Complexity was oozing from the breath of the Sword Master, who had always been sober.

Phoebus set the tone with a calm voice.

“This is the fate of the imperial family. There is nothing to be sad about, nothing to suffer.”

Phoebus’s eyes were noticeably deeper than before.

Phoibos faced Ernst with red eyes and entered the main body.

“What made you want to see your Majesty?”

“It is related to the search for Viscount Ult, who disappeared in the Kingdom of Alimo.”

“I understand that the matter was entrusted to the Marquis by His Majesty… I think there is a problem.”

Ernst took a piece of paper from his pocket and spread it out on the table.

It was a copy drawn from a copy of the drawing Luna had made.

Ernst reported speculation that the Underground City and its bosses, who have strong control over the Warlock hordes, may exist within the Forbidden Forest.

There was no physical evidence, but the circumstances were quite convincing.

After hearing all the reports, Phoebus murmured.

“If it’s true, that’s a big deal…”

“There are a lot of stuff smuggled into the Forbidden Forest. It’s probably three times more than what the Imperial Intelligence Agency figured out.”

“I understand that this is not a matter to be ignored.”

Phoebus, who looked at the copy of the drawing, asked just in case.

“Are you planning on bringing an espionage in here?”

“The additional crew I sent must have already entered.”

“…if the underground city existed, it would be difficult to come back alive.”

“…”

Ernst hesitated.

If the emperor insisted on moving his troops at an uncorrected time, it could appear as if he had impure intentions.

Ernst opened his mouth after contemplating.

“I believe they will return, but I think additional measures are needed to support them in case of an emergency.”

“…I’m not blaming the Marquis, but in the first place, didn’t he order too much of an operation? It’s not even the territory of the Empire.”

“It’s my mistake. But… when the related report came in, it was time to enter the underground city.”

“Is it because of resonance. It happens often. But, is it necessary to ‘rescue’?”

The spies were also expendables after all.

There was no end to each and every one of them taking care of their lives.

There was no way that Ernst was unaware of the group’s physiology.

Phoebus was asking why Ernst was obsessed with the crew who entered the underground city.

Ernst replied.

“…a talent worth losing in a foreign land took part in an underground city search operation.”

“If the Marquis expressed it that way, he wouldn’t be an ordinary talent.”

Moreover, to see Ernst bowing his head like this and making unreasonable requests like this meant that he really cared for him.

Erasing the debt to Ernst was something Phoebus liked too, so I thought about it.

It took a long time to secretly send additional troops into the kingdom right away.

If it wasn’t for advancing troops to the border and threatening to open the gates to the Kingdom of Alimo, quick support was near impossible.

“You can’t go to war with tyranny just to save a person…”

Phoebus laughed softly.

“Can I hear the opinion of the Marquis first?”

The final maintenance has been completed.

Two members of the Silver Cross and a mage mercenary hired by Leoni decided to remain in Rioshko to perform several missions, including monitoring the Earl of Gyllenhaal.

Except for them, all the Silver Cross Knights, two Paladins, and Rey and Luna headed to the Forbidden Forest.

The guide and mercenaries to protect them when they return were also hired by Gilland, which made the group quite large.

The newly hired guide guided us along a path similar to the one that Olda had guided Rey.

I couldn’t tell if it was because of the large number of people who stimulated the demons, or if it was because of the lack of skills of the guide that Gilland hired.

While traveling through the Forbidden Forest with the Silver Cross Knights, Rei encountered monsters very often.

The mercenaries were frightened, but for the knights, monsters were not a big problem.

Moreover, Rey and Luna were with them.

Using magic, even by slightly shaking the slope of the ground on which the demons set, the knights were able to deal with the demons much more easily.

👌👌👌👌👌

Gilland cut off the sharp nail, a monster in the shape of a monkey, without showing any swordsmanship.

The fifth group of monsters encountered was annihilated.

There were no casualties except for a few mercenaries who had been scratched.

Continuing through the Forbidden Forest, I heard a strange cry from above.

Ray looked up at the sky.

A winged monster was approaching.

It was the first monster I had ever seen, but I was able to find out its identity at once.

It was a wyvern.

The Wyvern was a fairly difficult monster to intercept by emitting swords due to its fast flight speed.

Of course, that was a story when there were only knights.

Whik!!

Luna summoned a wind spirit.

An upper-middle-class wind spirit flew through the air, disrupting the airflow around the Wyvern.

When the Wyvern, whose flight was interrupted, slowed down, Luna immediately displayed her magic.

As the air froze, frost was formed on the Wyvern’s wing membrane.

“Keek!!”

The Wyvern, whose wings were frozen, barely maintained an altitude and spun round and round in place.

The Silver Cross Knights did not miss the opportunity and released their sword at once.

quagga gag!!!!

The Wyvern, who was hit by the sword and turned into a mop at once, fell to the ground.

Excited, Leoni raised her hand that was clenched into a fist.

“Did you see? Our wizards, did you see the amazing magic? It would have been impossible if you hadn’t come with us!”

Rei looked at Leoni, who was shivering, with pitiful emotions .
