What Happens When the Second Male Lead Powers Up - What Happens When the Second Male Lead Powers Up chapter 537

Aftermath (3)

the next evening. Bareun Viscount, the northernmost point of Penetian.

The dungeon of the lord’s castle.

– Kaaan!

“No, the guard Nari! What’s the matter, you’ve been imprisoning people without food for three days, huh?”

A prisoner threw his whole body into a cage and shouted.

The black bars, as old as the lord’s castle, creaked and made an unpleasant noise.

The smell of mold and the smell of water There was no sunlight in the thick soil.

The two soldiers who were passing by stopped for a moment.

Then he looked back at the prisoners with familiar faces and sighed.

It was so embarrassing that I even scratched the back of my head or the bridge of my nose.

I didn’t want to starve like this for those I’ve known for at least a few months or at least 10 years.

But the situation was really serious.

No, maybe the whole continent was a serious plate.

“Now upstairs…. It looks like there’s a problem and you can’t get food, grandma. I also ate soybean porridge for four meals in a row.”

“I can’t tell you in detail. It’s not very fussy. What kind of God’s curse is this…”

The soldier with such added comments took out a piece of rough bread from his arms and put it through the grate.

Seeing that it was roughly wrapped in a dry cloth, it seemed that the ration was stolen today.

However, there was, of course, a limit for the two guards to secretly feed the hundreds of prisoners.

A sour smell came up right before it went bad, but the old man who received the bread gave it to the young man who was sitting in the corner.

Wouldn’t it be more beneficial for a young man to eat than himself, who is about to die?

“Come on, chew, swallow, come on. Eat it before it goes bad so you don’t get a stomach ache.”

“·················ogue.”

“You said you were a mercenary? Mercenaries must eat a lot. My son was also a mercenary, but if he starved, his legs would lose strength and he could not use it.”

“·················ogue.”

However, the woman could not put the bread in her mouth and dropped her head.

After being captured by Confucius Shem outside the castle last month, she believed this was her deathbed.

I didn’t expect this kind of death, but anyway, if this was fate, I was willing to accept it.

The mercenary quickly shook his head and handed the bread to the grandmother again.

As a bonus, he also handed over a canteen that was rationed to him.

“Grandmother, you hear this often.”

“Gosh. young people······.”

– Kaang!

‘Chaengrang!’ The silence broke again and anger erupted.

This time it was a cry from the other side of the hallway.

“The curse is to freeze to death, we look like we are just going to die without the curse!”

“We are prisoners, but we are not beasts! Yes?”

“Because of what happened to the large joint…”

“Are you going to starve to death because you don’t have the money to execute?”

“Does that make sense? I wasn’t even on death row in the first place!”

“Thank you, guard Nari. Where is this…”

Another old man was also heard thanking him for the bread.

The soldiers patrolled the underground corridor, grunting with a dark expression all the time.

They were starving too, so they weren’t in a good condition, but they couldn’t even explain properly, and they felt even worse when they ate and ate.

That was then.

“Look, guard.”

A powerful voice rang out, unsuitable for the musty dungeon.

The yellow eyes of the two soldiers rolled into the corner of Degururu.

Then, at the same time, it rotated and popped up.

The woman who occupied the largest prison in Yeongjuseong was looking at them while holding on to the two grates.

The guards reflexively straightened their backs and stood upright in front of her. ‘Chuck, chuck!’

“My, Sir Jeilstra!”

“Sir.”

“You don’t have to be so polite. Now I am neither a priest nor a nobleman.”

The worn-out etheric restraints were wrapped around Martier’s neck as he comforted the two of them.

It was the item that the guards searched the warehouse for more than half a day after being ordered by the superior officer to search the whole lord’s castle and bring it.

The battle priest looked at the two guards in turn, and quickly lowered his voice.

Vanilla-colored eyes were emitting an unusual light in the darkness.

“What’s going on?”

“·················ogue.”

“that······.”

Even though they did not raise their voices or show momentum, the soldiers opened their mouths for a moment, unable to find anything to say.

It was nothing more than a cold sweat that was not appropriate for the season as he moved his eyeballs around.

I heard that the battle priest in front of you is a very good person.

I don’t know the details of his activities because he is a far-fetched rook, but the modifier ‘Right arm of His Majesty Crown Princess Elissa Penetian’ was not something that could be easily forgotten in my mind.

One of the guards barely spoke.

“Hey, it’s no big deal…”

“It’s not a big deal. In this harsh north, the winter cold and swarms of brute beasts would be the biggest headaches, but you didn’t mention both of them.”

“ah······.”

“Tell me the truth. For some reason, the distribution was cut off out of nowhere, and even the soldiers of the Lord’s Castle only eat bean porridge. Did the right Viscount have any misfortunes?”

As she pushed her with a serious gaze, the soldiers gulped dry saliva and looked at each other.

Among them, the one who was a few years younger patted his colleague on the side.

I couldn’t afford to confess to myself, so I meant that the senior should try to solve it.

Immediately, Martier’s gaze fell on him, and in the end, the senior soldier exhaled as the ground went off.

He looked around and whispered in a hoarse voice.

“That is······. It’s all dark outside, priest. Yeongjuseong is also all black.”

“······What?”

The priest frowned. The junior standing next to him hurriedly clasped his tail.

“The sun never rises, priest.”

“What does that mean? Does the sun not rise?”

Martier now had a puzzled expression on his face. The soldiers were equally embarrassed.

The two went closer to the iron bars and explained.

“We haven’t even heard of what exactly happened… It seems that something has happened on the Atsuma side.”

“Yes. In the middle of the night, fireworks suddenly spread across the sky. I couldn’t see it because I was sleeping at the time, but half of my classmates said they saw it with their own eyes. It was so big and terrifying, I literally thought the whole sky was on fire.”

“when?”

“It happened last night.”

The guards now give and take, and are telling her secrets.

Martier rubbed his bare hair and frowned.

If what the two of them said was true, it was clearly a matter of ‘extraordinary’.

Besides, no matter how you look at them, they weren’t the kind of people who could tell such vain lies.

she asked carefully.

“Is it common in the North? Isn’t the lack of the sun a simple climatic phenomenon?”

“Ouch, no. Southerners sometimes know that, but absolutely not.”

“There has been no ‘polar night’ in the North since Penetian was established. On the contrary, it got longer as the days got longer. The village elders say that it is the grace of God.”

“········Then, the sky was really on fire… it’s been Let’s get this over with.”

The priest said with a dry face.

There was no sun under the ground anyway, so there was nothing she could see right now.

There was another thing I didn’t understand.

“It is the third day today that the distribution of the dungeon has been cut off. But that was last night? So, the sun does not rise and the food problem has nothing to do with it?”

“Umm…”

“that······.”

“Come on and tell me. If I need to know the situation, can’t you guys get help from Her Majesty the Crown Princess if necessary?”

Martier usually hated selling Elisser’s name, but there was no other way right now.

The priest was a prisoner of the right Viscount.

She was caught up in her whims and did not know when she would lose her life.

To be precise, the mysterious ‘guest’ sitting next to the Viscount was very suspicious.

The sharp eyes looking down at her while sitting on the top of the table beyond her.

“Is this the work of ‘Vozena’?”

Startle. The soldiers trembled as if they had been baptized with cold water.

Martier stared at them as if they were going to eat them and was silent.

Then, this time, the younger soldier could not bear the pressure and confided the secret.

“······That’s right. He, he locks the gates of the permanent residence, and brings the remaining residents of the province to their sins and arm them. Most of them are old people who can’t even draw a sword…”

“Shh! How far are you talking!”

“Keep talking. You too. If you really want to save the Youngji people.”

“ah······.”

The priest gave a solemn warning, and the senior soldier eventually buried his damp forehead in the palm of his hand.

His fingertips covered in breadcrumbs were trembling.

“… Originally, I was planning to go out to Atsuma today, but the sun didn’t rise… It looks like it has been delayed.”

“Lord, Lord.”

“He himself said that he would lead the army. There are wizards who follow him, so he told me not to worry. And I will surely accept Atsuma’s surrender… The Viscount, who was ill, said that he would go with him in a wagon.”

“gibberish!”

Martier snorted abruptly. The shoulders of the two soldiers jumped up as if struck by lightning.

“If anyone I guess is correct, he’s a chaff less adept at fighting than you. No matter what you do, you won’t be able to reach the Atsuma Lord’s Castle. In the process, only Youngji people will die!”

“Oh my gosh······.”

“Tell me. Have you seen Bozena’s face? what does it look like Don’t you have light purple hair?”

At the question that raged like a storm, the two soldiers shrugged their backs.

Of course, there was no confirmation anywhere that Bozena was Werner.

However, Martier did not want to lose sight of the present moment.

In last night’s dream, I kept thinking about the appearance of the deceased Prince Jesse.

“I, we are not in a position to go in and out of the lord’s guest room…”

“Have you not heard the rumors?”

“Hey, you always wear a robe…”

right then

– Chunkyung!

A loud noise was heard from the cell in the diagonal direction. Immediately, the eyes of the three men flew away.

A large woman was glaring at this side, flatly pressed to the iron bars.

The guards quickly recognized her.

It was a mercenary who refused and returned the bread he had received from the old man a while ago.

He was always stuck in a corner and hugging his knees, so I didn’t know he was that tall. What’s going on today…

“I have seen Vojenna’s face.”

“Ugh!”

It was a shocking statement. The priest’s eyes widened like a candlestick.

The soldiers opened their mouths in amazement.

“you you! Knowing who this person is and recklessly lying—”

“I am a mercenary escorting him from the Yeri black market.”

“What?”

“You know what he did to survive, and how he got to that point.”

“·················ogue.”

Martier gripped the iron bar hard as if to crush it.

Deep remorse hung in the mercenary’s empty eyes.

“…brown eyes, light purple hair. A man with flashing prosthetic arms and legs, and a blue cart.”

late at night.

Berner Penetian was in armor.

It was heavy, uncomfortable, and very disgusting, but he also needed supplies.

The ‘great thing’ of a noble person was like that.

“In the morning the sun will rise. Then go out with me.”

“Soo.

As he leaned back on the bed and whispered, Avelonor Barun, who was buried in the duvet, made a squeaky sound.

His slightly puffy eyes groped the ceiling, then repeated looking up at the man.

Her eyes, as beautiful as an angel, were engraved and spread all over her field of vision like a print.

“Sue…….”

“Well?”

Even so, as an incurable patient, she has been leaner since meeting Werner.

The pain was relieved by the painkiller he gave him, so his expression should have brightened, but the reality was the exact opposite.

The Viscount, who could no longer feel pain, became increasingly dependent on Guk-seo’s medicine.

Then reason quickly became blurred, and it became difficult to distinguish between dream and reality.

When he told me to stay awake, I was awake until late in the morning, and whatever he had been talking about was put into practice.

Technically, he gave him the power and authority to do so.

First, he gathered all the saints in the camp and organized an army.

He declared a state of emergency, requisitioned all winter food, and prepared for the invasion of Atsuma day and night.

He took his one and only son by hand and drove him away so that he would never set foot in Yeongju Castle again.

By doing so, without realizing it, my body was getting wet.

She now vomited blood more than five times a day.

“count······.”

“You don’t have to worry about anything. The preparation is perfect.”

‘Believe in me, the national official of this country.’ Werner whispered to the head of her pillow.

A thin drop of water flowed from the tip of Aveloner’s eyes.

That moment,

– Aww!

The door to the lord’s bedroom slammed open, and the knights poured in.

“What is this!”

“Lord, Bozena-sama! Treason!”

“There is a rebellion in the dungeon!”
