The soldier shouted save (99)
Episode. 13
A day passed since I heard about Marie’s ambition to destroy the palace.
-Bam!
Marie suddenly opens the door and raises her voice with a determined expression.
“Allen, you can’t give the palace any time.”
“… … That’s right, that’s true.”
“We must hurry and prepare! Come with me quickly.”
“… … Okay, then go out.”
As Marie turns around with a smile, her eyes meet someone’s.
“… … .”
The maids looked back and forth between me and Marie, taking note of each other.
With a small sigh, I get up from my seat and close the door completely.
“Really, I know but I don’t know.”
Open your closet and find clothes suitable for going out.
‘I told you it was urgent.’
I put on Drago’s coat over my metal-lined leather clothes and leave the room.
Then, the maid whispers softly with wide eyes.
“Oh, Mr. Allen. I think it would be best for you to change.”
“… … Is this something that requires camouflage?”
“Yes? Yes, that’s right! It’s somewhat similar… … .”
Choose different clothes according to the maid’s advice.
What I touched was one of the clothes that was trending at Walker.
It was an otherworldly sweater and jeans made from woven wool.
“I changed my clothes, is it appropriate this time?”
“… Yes, yes! Perfect!”
“Where is the lord?”
“Okay, just wait a moment and he’ll come down soon!”
The maid, who had her head bowed as if something was urgent, hurriedly ran somewhere.
‘Youngjubang. Are you going to report to Marie?’
Wait a moment at the entrance to the mansion.
A different-looking Marie walks in from the end of the hallway.
“Oh, what a coincidence, Allen. We’re on the same page, aren’t we?”
A white cloth dress with jeans like mine.
At the similar-looking outfit, I turn around.
“It’s too obvious that we’re in a group. I’m wearing different clothes… … .”
“Oh, no! This is perfect! Let’s go quickly!”
Without giving me a chance to say anything, Marie grabs my arm and drags me into the street.
“…Yes, my lord?”
“hello.”
It was only natural that the villagers would stop every time we took a step.
Her maids and knights follow her.
And Marie’s appearance, wearing clothes of the same color as mine, definitely stood out.
“So, what’s the urgent matter?”
Marie raises the corners of her lips at my words.
“I’m choosing a gift!”
“A gift? … … Is that urgent?”
“Of course, Allen. What happens today will determine whether or not we can bring down the palace.”
When Marie speaks seriously, showing her lordly side, I find myself nodding in agreement.
“If that’s the case, I will actively cooperate.”
“It’s kimbap, Allen! I’ve only tried the sample, but it’s good. Let’s check it out!”
I was presented with an otherworldly dish I had never seen before, vegetables and rice wrapped in dried seaweed, but I wasn’t particularly surprised.
‘Because ramen has become extremely popular on the Gerard Continent.’
Honestly, I couldn’t believe it.
Who would have thought that one food from another world would expand the influence of the spirit world to this extent?
“What do you think, Allen? Do you think this will make any money?”
He said this while chewing on kimbap at Marie’s words.
“… It seems okay.”
“But this, even if I use preservation magic, doesn’t seem like it’ll work as a gift. Let’s go that way this time!”
As I traveled around the territory with Marie, I realized that many things had changed on the Gerard Continent.
‘Most of them are wearing otherworldly clothes.’
It wasn’t surprising.
Not only did their lord enjoy wearing otherworldly clothes, but the clothes were mass-produced in a factory using Sunlight’s technology, so they were cheap enough that even ordinary residents could afford to buy one.
“… … It’s not without risk, but it would be better to give clothes as gifts.”
As Marie gives instructions, the maids begin to buy clothes from another world.
‘There are more than 30 sets.’
At first, it was a strange behavior, but after looking at the clothes carefully, I could guess who the gift was for.
Classic otherworldly suits and dresses that aristocrats wouldn’t look out of place wearing to social gatherings.
“Are you going to meet the other lords?”
When I ask Marie in a small voice, she nods.
“That’s right. I’m going to go talk to the lords who share my purpose.”
Marie’s actions and intentions were understood.
But a big question remained.
“Why am I here?”
“Because I have to look at men’s clothes.”
“… …Can’t you just put it on the body of the escort knight?”
“That’s a good idea. I’ll take that into consideration when buying my next gift.”
It’s been two hours since Marie and Walker started wandering the streets.
“I think I need to take care of some work first. Shall we resume in 30 minutes?”
I pass by my room at the sound of a bolt from the blue and open the door to a corner room.
“Sir, what’s wrong? What’s the matter?”
Without responding to those words, I walk over and lie down on the bed.
Then Hye-rin grabs his arm with a startled expression.
“Ah, ah! What are you doing! Don’t lie down on my bed!”
“… … I’ll just take a breath and sleep.”
“Why don’t you just go to your room and sleep? Why are you sleeping here?”
“… …Because I don’t know when Marie will come barging in.”
After finally getting permission and keeping my eyes closed, Hye-rin speaks to me.
“Did you finish the Room of Destiny?”
“……okay.”
“What did you do for a living?”
“Black Mage 2nd.”
“What, I don’t have to do the inspection?”
“After reading the text in the Room of Fate, this seems more efficient. You can stack up the soul absorption you get from challenges, so choosing a warlock will increase your physical abilities and give you the benefits of both.”
“… … Wow, if someone saw you, they’d think you were one of our people.”
After finishing the small talk with Hye-rin, the tension eases.
Then, the dark vision slowly changes.
‘What is this place?’
The scenery changed in an instant.
Black mud gushes out and a familiar doll speaks to me from the right.
“Is this the first time we’ve met face to face like this?”
The distinct voice of Lee Hyun-seong.
“I was worried when I entered the challenge dungeon, but I’m glad I got through it.”
I ask him directly, smiling.
“Are you my father?”
“I don’t want to be called that. When I think about the time we spent together, I feel like I’m no different from a stranger.”
“… … Then who on earth is the father who raised Croa and me?”
“A knight of the palace. He was my benefactor who helped me in both material and spiritual ways. I asked him for a favor.”
Lee Hyun-seong sat down on the seat with a mud-like appearance, as if telling him to ask more if he had any questions.
“Can I not finish speaking so hastily today?”
“I got a lot of achievement points thanks to the challenge dungeon. So, 5 minutes won’t be a waste.”
“… …Why didn’t you help me this time?”
“Park Ro-woon. I can’t let that guy catch me.”
“… … Park Ro-woon?”
“The priest you saw.”
A priest with the ‘Lord’ privilege.
Looking at Lee Hyeon-seong’s distorted face, he asks about the priest.
“What is your relationship with him?”
“He’s the guy I thought was my friend. But now he’s my enemy.”
“Why are you stuck to my body?”
“Even if you don’t call me father, I still have to fulfill my responsibilities. There’s no way that bastard would let my descendants live.”
“… … If you are engulfed in divine power, do you think it is right for your power to disappear for a moment?”
“Because the connection between your soul and mine is made up of black magic. If all the black magic in my body is blocked, all my power will disappear.”
I thought I would have a lot to ask Lee Hyun-seong if I met him face to face.
But since the seat was suddenly created, I couldn’t think of what else to ask.
“Can I give you some advice?”
“……okay.”
“Beware of those who can look at your action logs.”
“… … If it’s a behavior log, does that mean it’s a special privilege that allows you to know a person’s every move through text?”
“I didn’t say anything specifically, but I’ve blocked you from observing my actions several times.”
“… … You stopped it?”
“Because my soul, which is attached to the system and has escaped from it, is giving me mysterious properties.”
Mystery.
Mysterious.
Hyunseong Lee, who was explaining the characteristics that can hide one’s identity, suddenly stops talking.
“Why are you stopping talking?”
“… … It’s nothing. Let’s stop here for today. If you have any questions, think about them carefully. I’ll come back to see you again.”
-Foodduk.
As the mud that made up his body crumbles away, his eyes, which had been closed naturally, open.
“Sir, is Sister Marie here to see you?”
Fortunately, I didn’t come here to resume looking at clothes.
“It would be better to go early. Let’s get ready to leave soon.”
Following Marie’s advice, I pack several different clothes and head to the carriage.
A shabby-looking carriage without Walker’s emblem on it.
When spending time in a carriage that seems to emphasize practicality.
Marie points out the window and says.
“Allen, we’re here. We’re at the Diold Estate.”
Diold.
As I unconsciously smiled bitterly, Marie asked with a puzzled look on her face.
“What’s wrong? Have you ever been here before?”
“No. I only know it as the hometown of a comrade who shared life and death with me.”
A knight who awakened Death Knight’s memories from his lifetime with words crying out for revenge from the punitive force.
“Diavel. It was only after his death that I learned the name of the brave knight.”
These are the people who shared life and death with me more than anyone else, even though it was only for a short time.
The promise made to the punitive force that gathered at Walker a month ago and to come here naturally comes to mind.
“I’ve arrived. From now on, I’ll be Leah. Allen will be known as Rolen.”
He nods and tries to get out of the carriage, but Marie reaches out and stops him.
“Rolen, choose which one you like.”
Examine the three masks Marie holds out.
Eye-covering masks shaped like reindeer, wolf, and horse respectively.
“Let’s do this.”
He puts a wolf mask on his face and asks Marie.
“Do I have to hide my face already?”
“Rather than hiding your face, you disguise yourself as an ordinary Yeongji citizen.”
“……camouflage?”
“You will find out when you go inside the territory.”
He leaves the carriage with his luggage to the coachman and walks down the street following Marie.
‘I’m wearing a mask, but no one thinks it’s strange.’
People who glance at you briefly and then quickly look away.
After walking for about 5 minutes, I could see why.
‘… … There were quite a few people wearing masks.’
Even in the immediate field of vision, there were three people wearing masks.
The people of Yeongji are wearing masks that don’t look boring.
Marie, who had been glancing at my face, smiles and says.
“Do you know what the Diold Estate is called?”
“… … Well, I’m not sure.”
“The city of theater. That’s what they call Dieold.”
The identities of the masked people were predicted by Marie’s words.
‘Were they actors?’
The female character wearing the gorgeous floral mask is a noblewoman.
The man wearing the rag mask seemed to be playing the role of a beggar.
“I thought only minstrels did these kinds of plays?”
“This is where the minstrels pass through at least once. This is where the minstrels learn to perform.”
A city of theater known only to those in the know.
Even non-actors enjoy wearing masks and observe the spirit world, realizing Marie’s intentions.
‘It’s a perfect place to have a secret meeting.’
Those who harbor ill will toward the palace.
They were gathering in the city of theater.
