Duke, Please Repent! chapter 299

53. Duke's Recruitment Offer (3)

Leaving my frustration behind, I handed the scrolls to Winston and got into the wagon. Serpence got on the carriage.

Eugenes, the patient, was already in the wagon, and Edna got on the wagon after loading the director and the monkey like cargo.

So, not under the seat, but under your feet

it means put

'If it's not cold outside, I'll ride next to a serpent... .'

Someone was stepping on them when they lowered their feet, so Yujis and I took off our shoes and put our feet on the seat.

Other than that, the inside of the carriage was comfortable.

The cushions on the hips and back are very soft. There was no cold wind from outside.

Me and Euges took off the coats we had been wearing at the most.

"Live and live, the Duke of the Empire

I didn't know I'd be riding in the carriage I was driving."

Edna murmured, as if sorry for not being able to thank you.

As a professional serpent rider, I wonder what is so special about this kind of thing.

'If you live, you can ride a carriage driven by Serpens, or ride a horse driven by him.'

I'm more concerned about Edna's natural step on the demon than that.

Eugene's gaze also looked at Edna's feet.

headed You seem to have the same thoughts as me.

When our eyes were focused on one place, Edna recognized it and opened her mouth implicitly.

"Are you concerned?"

"If anything, of course, I do care."

As if responding to my answer, Yujisu nodded eagerly next to him.

"Austin is trying to make me X..."

"To do it wrong."

"Oh, I'm sorry. I tried to do it wrong.

Using children as bait is unforgivable. But apart from that, I also feel sorry for him. It is also my fault that he has the qualifications... . But the interest is different, right?"

Edna applied my correction request immediately and continued the conversation.

"You used me to attract anima, and you used children to use me. If you hadn't come, my home would have been trampled and destroyed.

"It is."

"Those who do not see people as people. Those who try to trample the lives of others for their own purposes. There is no reason why I should treat them as people. None."

So it must mean that you are comfortably stepping on the devil.

The words were overflowing with persuasiveness, and somehow I got caught up in the feeling that I had to step on it too.

The moment when you think about whether you should lower your legs and take the correct posture.

"Ugh! Avoid!!"

"Kyaaa-!"

People screamed outside the wagon, followed by a bang.

Hee-hee, the horses were crying and the carriage swayed to and fro.

Edna, who was sitting in a stable position, could easily balance by just putting strength on her legs and placing her hands on the carriage ceiling and sides.

Eugenes quickly changed his posture and sat down with an elf's innate sense of balance.

And I .

Whoops!"

He slipped from his seat, and unintentionally tapped the manager with his knee and pressed it down. The manager, who had a gag in his mouth, screamed in pain.

In the midst of this, the carriage continued to run without stopping.

'Should a wagon be fitted with a seat belt?'

I put my hand on the empty front seat

after getting up. I opened a small window in front of the carriage.

I'm not trying to force Serpens to drive straight. Just to ask what happened.

By holding the window frame like a handle, the shaking became more bearable.

"Are you okay?"

"Is it okay now and it's time to go to sleep? What the hell is going on?"

"It's an assault."

As if in response to Serpense's words, a bang was heard again.

all.

It seems that even attack magic flew away. It seems that the identity of the binge I heard earlier was also magic.

The sudden change of direction had no direct effect except for the wagon to swerve. Serpence must have opened a barrier and blocked it.

Although a loud noise was heard from a distance, the horses did not run wild. He pounded the ground and kept moving forward.

It is generally impossible for non-trained jockeys to do that.

Serpens calmed down with divine power

it is clear

"Already?"

"The demon worshipers were watching us from a distance as we left the nursery. Not enough to say already."

"to?!"

"There were magic circles installed by Mr. Benevolen in the nursery, so I thought they would attack when the distance widened a bit."

Serpens answered in a calm voice.

The first magic that flew in was a surprise, twice

Could the magic that flew away be a test of the strength of the barrier? Attack magic no longer flew.

A brief stillness came, which was enough to calm me down.

"Why are you saying that now?"

"Yes? Did I mention that if they attack, they will attack us?"

The Serpensian interpreter ran quickly.

The very word that they would attack us, not the nursery, meant that they were watching us set off.

Knowing that, if you think about what Winston's importance was talking about... .

'It must mean that the conversation was not in the distance.'

It's obvious when it was discovered.

Before leaving, he wandered around to check the inside and outside of the nursery.

"Then attack right away!"

"I thought I would, but I thought I was a scout, so I quit."

I didn't touch it, but after we left, I left it because I was afraid the nursery would be attacked.

means

"Ummm... Still, I was hoping for an attack from a rare place..."

Serpens mumbled as he drooled.

I am being pursued by enemies. The guy's voice is unbelievably calm.

He has an amazing composure, to the extent that he doubts whether he is the one who cried like a child this morning.

"Ah, okay, so you keep running like this? How come it doesn't even attack?"

"Leaving the village like this, no people

I'm thinking of stopping at the door. I know it's an inducement book, but... ."

"I can't fight here, so I can't help it."

I expected it to be uneven. But I don't know how long it's been since we started, what kind of chaos this is.

Fortunately, the demons didn't attack the villagers.

If it had been Humanus rather than Serpens driving the carriage, the indiscriminate massacre would have taken place.

The demons attack ordinary people at random, and the Holy Swords party kills people.

They were fighting to protect them. Such a scene appeared in [Master of the Holy Sword].

'It's good at times like this for the Demon King to know Serpence when he was [Master of the Holy Sword].'

Rather than attacking people for nothing, it seems that it is better to set a trap in front and lure them toward it.

"Uh, yup! Eup!"

Inside, I was feeling a feeling that I did not know whether it was relief or complicated.

If I make a loud noise, I get beaten up

I knew I was going to pass out, so even when I woke up at the nursery, I kept my eye on it quietly.

It seems that this stupid bastard knows that there is even an ally to his rescue.

It's very easy to make this guy shut up.

"The demons appear now, and I'm here to kill the demon you and Edna-san are treading on. Can I welcome you like that? It may be that demon, but extenuating circumstances might be possible if you claim that he was taken advantage of. ?Really just give up life?

If that's the case, why don't you just ask Edna to kill you right now? After all, you don't know anything about it, so you don't have any information to extract."

"town ."

Unable to understand that what I was saying was a lie, the stupid manager kept his mouth shut.

I don't know if it's Monam who fell after eating a brooch. The leader is without excuse, a helper and heresy of the evil forces.

But like a bastard who can't admit my faults, take hope from my words

shut your mouth

As a digression, the demon, who was trying to pretend to faint, was stunned by Eugeus slapped the back of his neck.

indeed. Even if he could not use his spirit power, the muscles and skills he had trained did not go anywhere.

Thanks to the horse's speed, we were quickly out of town. The carriage stopped.

"Aww-!"

A roar of an animal was heard from somewhere.

At the same time, the back of the head of Serpens that was visible through the small window disappeared.

He kicked off the coach and threw himself at the beast.

It is difficult to see the situation through a small window. I shifted my gaze to the large window on the side of the door.

A divine barrier that boasted a dazzling light surrounded the carriage. When I pulled out my neck slightly to check it, it was protected all the way to the end.

Serpens was aiming his sword at the giant beasts outside the barrier.

Between him and the five beasts, the earth was as if a piece of gold had been cut.

It was hollowed out in a straight line.

'Is Serpens holding his sword in check?'

Each of the black beasts resembling wolves boasted a size of 1.75 winstones. It is not the size you see in nature.

Not only that.

"= 己 le " - O

Each time the beast exhaled a tense breath, black smoke flowed out of its mouth instead of white breath.

That leads to one conclusion.

'Monster.'

If the barriers of the Volta Mountains had been broken and the time had come for the demons there to reach here, there would have been a commotion sooner or later.

In other words, it is a monster that was raised by artificially injecting black magic into ordinary animals.

It is impossible to even compare with the monsters of the Volta Mountains, who received the energy of a dense demon core at the time of their birth.

However, the demons are free to fill the gap.

Winston has been fighting in the arena

like it was with people. Or if you burn your life force in the same way that instant wizards were created.

It will cost a lot of money and time, but it is capable of creating powerful monsters.

Serpence didn't even show the slightest movement in front of such monsters. However, I know that he is spreading his senses and looking around.

The demons crawled and lowered their postures. As if they were running to Serpens at any moment, the muscles in their forelimbs swelled noticeably.

However, as if the monsters in the shape of a wolf were waiting for a signal. It was just waiting.

'That means where is the black magician who controls monsters... .'

That's why Serpens can't attack easily, so they're looking around. There's no way the guy who lured me here would have thrown away the monsters.

Hui-ying, a cold wind blew. A long sense of urgency raged.

Serpens, who was quietly staring at the monster, looked up at our heads.

all. His thin sword was swung towards it, and the silvery divine power flew away at high speed.

"Aaaah-!!"

One of the monsters rushed in to bite the open side of Serpens while swinging his sword.

The other four monsters were scattered across the front, back, left, and right of Serpens and launched an offensive.

It happened so quickly that if I had blinked even once, I would have missed it.

- Quarreung!

Belatedly, the divine power sent by Serpens and the magic of the demons collided, creating a huge noise.

Some kind of magic had been cast, white snowy feet landed on the barrier set by Serpens.
