Dark Fantasy Paladin Chapter 30

Episode 30

Siron took his gaze away from Tyrun and looked back at Aiden, smiling brightly.

Then he suddenly raised his halberd and dropped it on Tyrun’s head.

The action of standing facing Aiden and striking him down using only his arms without moving his upper body at all was quite high-quality.

Iden was a little embarrassed. Even at first glance, the weight of the halberd seemed very heavy.

The speed was very fast, but not so much that I couldn’t react.

Just before the halberd smashed Tyrun’s head, Iden blocked it by sticking the holy sword in between.

The metal collided and made a loud noise. Tyrun, who was so close, felt like his eardrums were about to burst. Also, I couldn’t understand Aiden’s actions at all. Blocking the Holy Spirit? It was difficult to understand why he put it aside and protected himself.

Siron looked at the holy sword in contact with the halberd and swallowed a low exclamation.

“There was no lie in the title. “It’s really amazing…”

“I don’t care if it’s a devil, but I really don’t want to see a human being turned to mush.”

Siron smiled slyly.

“I personally investigated the Grandel Great Tomb? “You made a scarf out of your tongue. Isn’t this proof that you don’t really care whether you are a human or a devil?”

Iden frowned.

“Tairun is not a demon cultist.”

“In some ways, my crime may be worse than theirs.”

Siron’s face was still bright, but there was something cold in the way he looked at Tyrun.

Iden was dumbfounded.

“I don’t know on what basis they make that decision. “If the decision is made with just a handwritten document without any investigation or procedures, it will work out very well.”

Regardless of whether Tyrun was guilty or not, the method of execution was very primitive. What if someone threatened you and forced you to write a document by hand? The theory completely ruled out such a possibility.

No matter how much illogic there is in this world, things are not handled this way. There was no way that the punishment unit directly under the Holy Council would be this lax.

Siron was still smiling despite Aiden’s harsh criticism. Iden had no idea why she was smiling. From the first words she spoke, she seemed to be half out of her mind, as she was talking about pain in her bones.

“I have already completed the handwriting analysis and checked the black blood. Above all, I judged the scriptures to be perfect evidence.”

Iden’s expression wrinkled.

“What do you mean?”

“From what I saw from a distance, I saw that the Lord was trying to subdue Tyrun and execute him. I thought there must be a reason for the noble hero’s decisions. is not it?”

If Siron’s words were sincere, Iden could definitely say that she was abnormal. What does it mean that you can trust someone with their life as collateral just because you saw it when?

Also, if Siron was playing with words, that just made me feel bad. Whatever it was, Iden was starting to get tired of this conversation.

I wanted to finish it quickly.

“If Tyrun is guilty, it is that he took advantage of you.”

She tilted her head as if puzzled. The remaining two people who had already arrived couldn’t quite understand Aiden’s words.

“Excuse me?”

Aiden decided to put an iron plate on his face.

“While performing his duty as a Holy Knight, Tyrun encountered an enemy he could not fight against. A mutant who is 150 years old. Of course we lost, and we didn’t have the strength to regain our strength. I believe you all know the reason. “The church is unable to support him, so he needs your help.”

A large man with a huge law book at his side opened his mouth. He looked like a holy wizard.

“······Do you mean to say that you invited us in and tried to use us to subdue mutants? “By sacrificing his own life.”

This is half right and half wrong. It mixed truth and lies.

It was difficult for Tyrun to keep track of what was going on. However, he was clearly aware that Iden was helping him.

Iden nodded at the large man.

“you’re right. “I don’t think that using the Holy Spirit is a serious crime, but it is not worthy of death.”

Siron intervened.

“Then, Lord Iden. “Is there any evidence to support your story?”

Aiden answered immediately.

“doesn’t exist.”

Siron was shocked. This was because I was a bit embarrassed by the bold yet decisive answer.

The holy wizard swallowed his sleep and opened his mouth.

“It sounds a bit forced. Of course, I don’t mean to doubt the Lord’s words, but if the goal was to subdue mutants, there must have been another way. “If it came out of Tyrun’s mouth that he was trying to take advantage of us, that heinous bastard may have deceived you.”

Iden nodded.

“So do your research. “Cutting off one’s head is not a solution.”

The big man thought for a moment and then nodded.

“There is definitely a need to hang it on a frame.”

Summary executions were prevented. Iden looked at Tyrun. His eyes were extremely fluctuating.

“Tairun, you were incompetent and took up the time of busy people. If the charges are proven, you will have to take off your clothes. If you feel the slightest bit of guilt, return to Iceland and serve God. “Even you weakling will definitely have something to do.”

I just hoped that Tyrun would understand the meaning behind the words. Beyond this, it was up to him.

Siron brightened the mood with a slightly excited expression.

“Well, about that. Jude?”

It seemed that the name of the holy wizard was Jude. He sighed and nodded.

“Okay, since I stopped by, let’s get this done quickly and come back.”

Siron couldn’t hide his excitement at the thought of crushing the devil’s butt, but unfortunately, the situation was already over.

Aiden said with a somewhat regretful look.

“I’m sorry Lord Siron, but I subdued them all.”

A look of sadness flashed across her face, then quickly turned into anticipation.

“Then can I at least take a look at your craftsmanship? “I will also help you clean up.”

“It’s all already been incinerated. “It was unfortunate.”

“I see…”

She lowered her head with a sad face. After a while, he smiled bitterly, as if he had resigned himself.

“It can’t be helped. I guess today is not the day. I just want to have an in-depth conversation about art someday. Each race has a different taste. For example, in the case of Ain…”

“Do it alone.”

I didn’t want to listen anymore, so I climbed up to Petra. Siron had a hurt face.

A holy wizard called Jude stopped Iden who was about to leave.

“Lord Iden, are you very busy?”

“I have some business to attend to, but is there anything else you would like to say?”

“It’s nothing special. However, as you are touring the frontier, you seem to be in a dark position about the situation of the Holy Empire, so I thought I would tell you a few words. It’s not that big of a deal. “If you are busy, please leave quickly.”

It’s already been a month since I left the church. I had a rough idea of the circumstances, but I couldn’t know for sure.

Since Aiden has tampered with so many places, there must be something wrong.

“Please let me know. “There is enough time to have a conversation.”

Jude nodded.

“The most significant news is that the expedition is likely to be rejected. The stagnant manpower will soon be released. Thank you for your hard work so far. “It will get a little easier.”

It was fortunate. Tegain was clearly doing its job.

Aiden bowed his head and expressed his gratitude.

“Thank you. Then…”

“Oh and.”

Jude hesitated for a moment before opening his mouth.

“This is private, but I know that you and Xeras are very close friends.”

“Yes, this is someone I respect.”

I said that, but I didn’t really respect him. It was just that the negative perception I had towards Xerath was slightly erased.

“Haha, I feel the same way. The interrogators usually respect him. Anyway, Mr. Xerath has taken on the position of head of the Heresy Inquisition and staff member of the Holy Wisdom Order.”

That meant that Tegain was preparing for a purge. It will be implemented immediately as soon as the expedition discussion is completely rejected.

It seems that Tegain is filling key positions with his own people, and judging by the inclusion of Xerath, it seems like the two have decided to completely agree.

‘He said he didn’t like politics that much.’

I don’t know what prompted him to enter politics, but there was nothing bad about Aiden.

Xerath was definitely an ally.

Iden suddenly thought that Tyrun was very lucky.

If he was a staff member of the Holy Wisdom Order, he was a distant superior to the trio. If Iden gave Xerath a copy of the war chest, Tyrun might not have to hang on the scaffold.

Jude opened his mouth again, as if he had more to say.

“Finally, a promotion ceremony for the Lord is scheduled. From what I heard, I believe he is a Distinguished Paladin, but I am not sure.”

It was an unprecedented promotion. Distinguished Paladins received support from the church with over 100 new soldiers, and how they used those troops was under the Paladin’s authority.

It wasn’t bad, but it was a holdover for now. Not only was there no need to use new troops right now, but there was work to be done before stopping by the Imperial Palace.

“Thank you. “It might be a hassle, but please tell me this one by one.”

“no. Rather, I would be honored if it helped. Sir, with his endless devotion to God, is an example to everyone. “I personally have deep respect for you.”

Aiden responded with simple words and said goodbye.

One of the three had his face wrapped in bandages, and his mouth was also sealed, so he only looked down.

Aiden turned his horse’s head and headed towards the lord’s castle.

*

The report posted by Iden has arrived at the Holy Empire and the Empire.

Kill the snow leopard, detect an abnormality in the Perennial Snow War, discover the ruins of the Great Hero, pass Arhan’s trials, obtain the relic, subdue the mutants, and annihilate the demon farm.

It was a feat accomplished in about a month. Even some people who had dismissed his previous actions as mere luck now had no choice but to acknowledge Aiden.

Even at the Holy Synod meeting where discussions on the retaking of the Holy Land were the main topic, the topic of Aiden was the only topic on the day the report was posted.

There was even talk of upgrading his status to holy status.

It was Tegain’s proposal, but the old monsters, full of the spirit of being a chosen people, desperately opposed it, and the proposal was aborted.

Saint Uriel, who heard such news, was facing Aiden’s squire.

Euron delivered the war message to her.

The parchment was sealed with a seal so that no one could open it.

“Saint Lady Iden asked me to check right away.”

What does the paladin have to say to himself alone? Yuriel opened the seal with a slightly nervous expression.

Confusion appeared on her face as she read the words.

Uriel remembered what Iden said as he left Tegain’s office.

‘We will soon resolve the many questions you have. I will contact you separately, so please do not bring anyone with you and come to the location I will inform you of.’

The location was written in the war record. But they asked me to leave for 10 days. Due to her position as a saint, it was quite difficult to schedule a time away from the church for such a long period of time.

Yuriel sighed softly.

“This is really reckless.”

Euron glanced at her.

“That’s it…”

Yuriel tilted his head as if wondering.

“Why are you doing this?”

“So haha.”

Euron hesitated a lot to see if there was something he couldn’t say, and then he opened his mouth with difficulty.

“The saint asked me to tell you this if you were worried, but that’s exactly what I said…”

Judging from Euron’s mood, the saint could roughly guess what Aiden had said. He must have also said something that amounted to blasphemy.

Yuriel thought for a moment and spoke softly in a soft voice.

“You don’t have to. “I’ll try to make up an excuse somehow.”

Euron swallowed relief. She looked like an angel.

“Thank you. Really.”

It was a bit of a pity for Euron, but there was nothing I could do about it.

Because I had to lure the saint out in this way.

I really needed her mind’s eye.
