Chapter 431
Chapter 76. When I say yap, he yaps (6)
and it wasn’t the corn silk that I brought here for this purpose.
I looked at the young red energy in the long hand, with bone joints a little thicker than Planz’s, sticking out, reaching out towards Ren, Lemain’s escort knight.
“Brother Randel.”
“Talk to me.”
“Don’t overdo it and rest if you’re tired. Although the wound is deep, it’s not serious enough to put your life at risk right away.”
“It is done.”
I know that if I use aura or magical power with the power of the stone contained in my heart, my vitality will be worn down. Therefore, if Randel had been using a sword or magic, he would have been dissuaded from using that power.
But the healing power was different.
It uses the divine power of Serenti contained in a sacred object, not a stone. So, that light was just a sign that a stone was placed in the healer’s heart, so I left it alone with the thought that if it wasn’t for times like this, Brother Randel, when would you ever do such a good thing?
However, it was clear that two patients a day would be too much for Randel, who had only experienced healing someone once.
“Didn’t you see Lord Siegfried’s wounds?”
In the end, I spoke again with concern.
Randel, who did not have the young healing power in his hands, turned his head. And as always, he stared at Calian with deeply sunken eyes and answered.
“Fold the blade that is upright. It will be more difficult to withstand it.”
“…… ah.”
Calian laughed awkwardly, realizing that the deadly force he had put to sleep several times had already come out again without his knowledge. And after calming down my energy, which was sharper than the frost wind, as if erasing it, I spoke to Randel, who couldn’t even use a sword properly and felt only alive thanks to the stone in his heart.
“sorry.”
“It is done.”
“yes.”
Euria, who was sitting opposite Randel and closing her eyes, let out a small breath. This is because I was already out of breath from the life that was already filling the room.
Calian, who reflected on this over and over again, looked at Randel’s hand again.
A steady red light continues to seep into Ren’s body.
‘Now that I think about it, you surprisingly take care of your share.’
I didn’t ask you to treat Ren. Nevertheless, Landel took action on his own. The same was said about Slayman. There is no need to ask why they are so eager. Even if I didn’t follow the path of my own will, I don’t want to create ‘debt’ that becomes a burden to others.
Well, he acted as if he didn’t see Lemain’s wound at all, but neither Lemain nor Calian said anything about it. Isn’t it as natural as adding one to one to make two?
By the way, our warm Hina put her soft hand directly on the serious wound. It’s quite unfamiliar to see someone needing to remove their hands like that to treat the patient.
‘Are you afraid it won’t look like a rose if you touch it?’
I wonder if the object of treatment or attack is like a person. I wonder if, unlike roses, they are like people who breathe, move, and have body temperature. Perhaps they are reluctant to know the difference?
While thinking about that, I shook my head. I decided to just remove my hand and find it fascinating that he didn’t seem uncomfortable with the treatment. It looks like his arm doesn’t hurt because he worked hard with the scissors.
– Tick tock tick tock.
As he watched Ren’s wound, which had been pierced so deep that he could see through his stomach, improving little by little, Calian continued his thoughts without any theme or flow.
I know that there is nothing like thinking about something else to avoid focusing on something. So, while I was doing my best to live my life, I was thinking about other things. Just as Plantz, considering the seal of oath he had made with Evan, did not stop thinking about other things in order not to notice the circumstances surrounding the situation.
It felt like if I didn’t hold on to the end of my patience, I would dare throw a memorized weapon at the crown prince of a country and run out to find the guy who ran away. Because I couldn’t figure out what I would do to catch him and kill him.
– Tick tock tick tock.
The ticking sound of the pocket watch in my hand remained the same, but time passed slowly. Not even thirty minutes had passed since we entered the villa and Eila left immediately.
Calian looked at the hands of the clock, which had not moved much, and then looked at his wrist. Then he activated one of the thin bracelets hidden under his shirt sleeve.
– Ayla.
– I’m searching, but you’re hiding well. I haven’t found it yet.
The answer came right away, as if he knew what I was going to say.
– okay.
– Don’t come out.
– I’m not going out. How do I clear this place?
– I’m not saying this because I’m afraid someone will attack you again, but I’m telling you to stay calm because the prince is still a patient.
– I’m much better. He’s recovering much faster.
– But that doesn’t mean he’s fine. Listen to me.
– huh. I will do that.
Calian laughed slightly.
– I’m busy again now. I can’t play with the prince for long.
– okay. Take care, Aila.
– …… It would be nice to worry about yourself as much as you worry about others. Anyway, I got it. See you later.
– huh.
After finishing talking with Aela, Kalian looked down at his palms.
Yes, the wound healed.
Next, I found something to think about.
The wounds from holding Plantz’s sword and the wounds from holding the sword were all completely healed except for the scars that had already appeared.
It was a small wound, barely scratched thanks to the aura surrounding it, but it wasn’t big enough to heal that quickly. But suddenly my healing power increased. The same goes for the speed at which it was cut off. Not everything was better, but I could clearly feel the difference in the speed at which my insides healed.
Tick tock tick tock.
As I was trying hard to think of other thoughts, a conversation we had a while ago came to mind.
‘Did you arrive safely in Shurinz?’
‘Master!’
‘Are you so happy to see the old man?’
‘Of course it’s nice to meet you. I was worried. Are you hurt anywhere? ‘Didn’t they do something?’
‘It’s okay now. And as for those who attacked, Sispanian personally came and chased them all away. Your Majesty is said to be safely returning to the palace, so please tell him not to worry.’
‘yes. I’ll tell you the story. But has the Cispanian come?’
‘It would be better to meet and share the details. ‘I have a lot to tell you and it’s late.’
Sispanian said he had come.
So the faster recovery was clearly a gift from Sispanian.
‘Don’t worry about anything else here and get a good rest.’
‘I can’t wait to see you.’
‘… I guess so too. Take care and come back.’
‘Father, be careful too.’
‘I won’t do that.’
I couldn’t hold on to Alan for long as he was busy organizing the palace. So, I ended the conversation after being briefed on the situation. Neither the story about the disappearance of the Margrave of Schurinz nor the story about someone trying to stick a strong handle into the top of a pea, which had become quite soft because there had been a lot of things to boil since yesterday, was not reported.
“Ha…”
After another thought, I finally thought about the attacker coming again, and a long sigh escaped me as I calmed down the thick murderous feeling that was rising again. Plantz, who felt this, slightly opened his closed eyes and said.
“why.”
“no.”
“ruler.”
From being creepy to being disturbing, from being creepy to being disturbing. If you’re going to keep harassing the people next to you like that, the room is so big that you should just curl up in a corner and sleep.
“I can’t sleep.”
Plantz frowned.
but.
He had a great time sleeping on my back all the way down the mountain. There’s no way I can sleep again without Kirie.
Plantz let out a short breath and held out his hand to Calian. Calian, who was looking down at it blankly, opened his mouth.
“I have nothing to eat.”
“Bark.”
“Then what can I get you?”
“clock.”
“Are you asking for your watch this time? I heard you don’t like taking it away.”
“Speak informally.”
“That… Brother.”
“why.”
“Why don’t you try talking using at least three words?”
“For what?”
“…… yes.”
I’d say it’s more than four letters.
After thinking about this regret for a moment, Plantz extended his outstretched hand a little more and said,
“Ask for it.”
With three or more letters.
“Why the clock?”
“I keep watching the time and losing my life. I keep watching the time and losing my life. My brother keeps doing that.”
“Do you think I’ll be okay if I don’t look at the clock?”
“Because I’m fine.”
After saying this, Planz hit the table.
To be precise, I touched the memorization that was placed on top of it.
“Because you’re not dead or injured. Don’t fret and ask for it. I’ll give it back to you.”
He’s not dead or injured, so stop being angry and just ask for a watch.
“What do I…”
“Clock.”
ah.
Where on earth did you learn to be stubborn?
“yes.”
In the end, Calian, who could not win, handed over to Plantz ‘my very expensive and precious watch’, which had twelve rubies encrusted on a black mother-of-pearl plate and a rim and cover inlaid with platinum and onyx. The black chain connected to the watch was placed on Plantz’s hand, making a rattling sound.
Aside from the Kyris royal emblem engraved on the back, it is a watch that even has its own seal ostentatiously crafted on the cover. Who else but me can use it and refuse to give it to them?
After raising the crown of the watch to prevent the sound of the second hand from being heard, Plantz put it in his pocket and closed his eyes again.
“ruler.”
And since the room was so large, I again told him not to be next to me, but to curl up in a corner and sleep.
Calian took another long, long breath and turned his head. Then I made eye contact with Euria.
The youngest prince, who was unable to control his temper properly and sat quietly waiting for a call from outside, and even had his watch stolen, brightened his eyes as if he had found the next topic to talk about. Euria, who was slightly startled by the bright red eyes that seemed to flash, quickly changed her expression.
“Lord Siren.”
“Yes, my prince.”
“I have a question to ask about your magic.”
“Please speak.”
Soon Kalian organized his questions and opened his mouth.
“I want to know how to fuse mana of different attributes.”
Euria made an embarrassed face at these words.
“It’s hard to explain that in words…”
Then he blurted out his words in an awkward way.
This is not because they do not want to reveal the source of the power they use, but because it is difficult to reveal. Because it’s literally really difficult.
‘If you say yap, yuk yuk.’
Would it be much different from Calian’s explanation of my magic?
Calian nodded, understanding that this was the reason. And let’s talk again later when we have some free time. As I was about to speak, Euria stood up. He approaches and tries to explain by showing things in person.
When Calian, who felt grateful for that sight, opened his mouth.
– Faaah!
– Ugh!
The figure of Euria, who was taking a step toward Calian, appeared behind Randel. As soon as he teleported towards Randel, Euria’s shield unfolded and surrounded Randel and Ren.
“Prince Calian!”
And that moment.
– Kwaaak!
– Ugh!
Calian had already grabbed Plantz, who was sitting next to him, lifted him up, pushed him towards the wall, and put a shield mixed with Aura on him.
– …… Cheer up!
The sound of a glass window as strong as the one in Arpia Palace being shattered was heard.
Even though they had turned on the lights in every room in the villa and drawn thick curtains to prevent Randel’s red light from being noticed, it was as if they knew exactly which room they were in.
– Tuk!
Something had broken the window and was rolling around on the floor.
Calian and Euria’s eyes widened when they saw this.
Calian’s red aura and the dark purple magic power of Euria spread out at the same time in such a way that it was difficult to tell the order. And then he hugged the thing that just flew in thickly. Right after that.
– Quaaaaaaaa!
A loud noise that shook the eardrums echoed throughout the room.
It exploded in a huge way while being trapped by the shield and aura.
It was a magic bullet.
“This is… how can I not get anxious?”
Calian let go of the pea’s shoulder that he was tightly holding and let out a soft voice.
After that, Euria placed a shield over the entire room and spread a water curtain. Ren, who could not wake up from a deep sleep, Randel, who started treatment again after finding out that nothing had happened. And as he had a good idea of how much his younger brother had gone through, there was no way to stop him further. Because he knew there was nothing, he closed his eyes for a moment and continued talking as he watched Planz open them.
“You’re scratching me like this.”
The red lips of the black beast whose territory had already been invaded twice curled up.
* * *
Either stupid Gray.
Rashid, who would never take the lead in something like this, changed his mind. Either they are the remaining members of Zeon who have not yet let go of their regrets. Otherwise, it could be Randel or Calian’s forces that want to use this opportunity to eliminate Plants.
or.
Or another guy I couldn’t imagine.
Who cares? All you have to do is catch it and kill it.
‘Once I get out, you can come barging in here again. ‘It might be a trap.’
‘yes. I will protect it well.’
‘If you’re having a hard time, don’t bother capturing him alive. If you’re having a hard time, call your teacher.’
‘I understand, prince.’
I handed the bracelet connected to Allen to Euria.
Since the situation at the palace has been resolved, if this is a trap to summon Calian and then send Carl back to Plantz, just call Alan. That’s what it said. And then I ran out that way.
– Taaat!
Thanks to Sispanian’s consideration, I stepped on the small carvings that decorated the outer wall of the villa’s pillars with my lighter feet and jumped upward. I lifted myself up by stepping on a small flower pot hanging outside the window, kicked off the railing of the upper terrace, and was on the roof of the villa in an instant.
From a distance, I saw a guy running quickly from the villa towards the center of Shurinz.
– Ayla.
– yes.
– Kirie is with me.
– yes. there is.
– There is a guy who started running from the villa towards Shurinz Castle.
It stands out so much.
So it’s not that guy. It’s a trick to divert attention.
– It looks like a girl with short brown hair, but it’s not exact, she’s wearing a black shirt and brown pants. He carried a black bag on his back. Since he’s running away in plain sight, tell him to find him and bring him back alive.
– Okay. If you can’t bear it and decide to go out, don’t worry. They probably don’t just have the means to attack Marquis Manasil.
– okay. I won’t forget. Ayla.
Calian smiled slightly as he said these words.
Then he turned in the opposite direction from where he was looking and continued speaking.
– See you later. I’m busy this time.
– all right.
Calian raised his head.
“I thought he would follow, but he doesn’t. I thought he was just a guy who uses a sword, but he also uses his head.”
“Oh, I am.”
A slightly familiar voice.
I couldn’t remember right away, but I heard a voice that seemed like I had heard it before. However, there was no sight of anyone other than Calian on the roof of the villa. Calian was still alone.
Calian looked at the empty surroundings for a moment and then opened his mouth.
“Use your face too.”
It doesn’t work as well as you might think.
Still, Kalian, who answered honestly because he was using it diligently, looked away. It was towards the direction where there was still no one, but where a clear voice had been heard.
“Anyway… I thought he was a kid who only knew how to use a sword because he used magic bullets to memorize it. I guess he also used magic. That’s interesting.”
It is a magic of invisibility. This means that he is at least one circle more wizard than Calian. In addition, he was a swordsman with enough skill to memorize and throw magical bullets that would fly nearby.
“You had a foul mouth.”
“Just a nice face.”
Kalian gave a light answer.
– Ugh!
Along with that, a red auror appeared in Calian’s hand. A strong wind blew across the surface of the red sword created in this way. Perhaps because he was watching, words came out from a direction that had been quiet for a while.
“It’s not that damn dagger anymore. Has your injury healed, Prince?”
“…… ah.”
The red eyes shone brightly.
“Who is it…”
Now I understand.
The guy I met across the bridge on the mountain near Schrinz.
The guy who recognized Calian’s injury and gathered his men together to buy time, followed up to the bridge without dying in Calian’s attack. It was that guy’s voice.
“That wolf. He didn’t die, he survived.”
“As you can see.”
“I can not see.”
A sound of laughter was heard.
– Ugh!
A warrior standing on the bridge that Kalian cut off.
A warrior who managed to teleport a long distance using the power of a stone planted in his heart just before falling to the ground. Because of this, there was a sound of the warrior, who had returned to Shurinz in good health, taking out an auror.
The red energy on Calian’s sword gave it a sharper edge. A faint sound spread quietly.
As if in response, a long red crack appeared where there was nothing. And then the gap widened and someone stepped out.
‘…… one more.’
It’s different from the magic Arsene uses.
It is a magic that expands one’s space and hides one’s body within it. So, one more thing than the 5th circle. It means a wizard of 6th circle or higher.
“That’s fun.”
Calian muttered quietly and looked ahead.
I saw his legs, his waist, his hands, and his upper body coming out of the gap in space. Unlike when I saw it from the mountain, I confirmed that even the head of the guy wearing the deep hood was sticking out of the gap.
“Actually, I don’t really like using this method. However, I have to make sure I catch at least one person before returning… so I hope you understand.”
The warrior of the great desert who came out raised his head. Then he lifted the hood that was covering his face.
– …… Flash.
The red eyes closed for a moment and then opened.
One more time and one more time.
The smile drawn beneath the red eyes became deeper.
“… I guess it was like this for my teacher too.”
A cold voice addressed the warrior. No, not exactly.
Blue-silver hair. And purple eyes.
Headed towards ‘Chase’.
Blink blink.
Calian held his breath for a moment and clenched his fists before tightly closing his eyes. And after a while, I remembered it again.
“It’s a shame.”
A voice that seemed to be whispering was heard.
“If you had come a few days earlier, I would have been very surprised.”
Calian raised his head.
The bright blood-colored sword moved briefly with its back to the dreary moon.
-Ssam!
He looked as if he had no curiosity whatsoever about why Chase was drunk or anything like that. Without the slightest hint of hesitation.
A red-colored sword rushed towards Chase to strike his heart.
Its purple eyes turn to Calian.
Calian’s red-hot eyes smile at him.
“…It doesn’t work anymore.”
A beautiful voice followed.
