Chapter 1037

Episode 1037. Did the light fall only on my feet?

Magus Killian Duke of Hale looked at Elio with meaningful eyes.

The Duke of Escatos also gave information he did not know.

Withdrawal of the Corvo Magic Corps and re-activation of the Warlock.

If he had a mind, he would not be able to reject his offer.

Who would refuse career and safety?

But there was. such a person

“As I said, I will go when the crack problem is resolved.”

“That rift is not a problem that can be solved by hanging on for years. Even if it can’t be done, it will remain as the homework of the Northern Kingdoms for centuries, no, considering its vast scale.”

“Did you say the warlock would resume its activity in a month or four?”

“At least 7 circles, maybe 8 circles. In addition, if Terminus is installed in Hirhera, the 9th circle magic is also possible. To be honest, I’m no match for him either. Even if you are a sword master, it will be difficult to save your life.”

“If we don’t stop the warlocks from Hiruhera, the empire will be swept into chaos someday. Is that okay?”

“At that time, the entire continent will step in and find a solution. But if you stay here, you will most likely die.”

“Thank you for the offer for me, but I will stay.”

“Why? Isn’t the savage tribe lacking loyalty to the lord? In the yard where even your tribe was annihilated... what the hell are you going to stand up to the warlock for?”

Magus Killian Duke of Hale couldn’t understand Elio’s stubbornness.

If you want to succeed, you have to follow yourself.

It’s not like anyone knows.

There was no one to respect a barbarian nobleman.

Elio replied with a natural face.

“Peace in the world.”

For a moment, Magus Cillian Hale Duke burst into laughter.

“Heh heh heh.”

What is world peace?

Even young children don’t think like that.

But when I saw his serious face, it seemed that he was sincere.

Still, the answer was so absurd that I couldn’t help but ask for confirmation.

“Are you serious?”

“yes.”

“Honestly, I’ve never heard of such a story in my entire life.”

Duke Cillian Hale, the Magus, stared intently at Elio.

It’s obviously stupid and sounds like an idiot, but it wasn’t unpleasant for some reason.

If a sword beginner had said something like that, he would have laughed at it.

However, the opponent is an advanced sword expert.

Maybe it really contributes greatly to world peace.

no i hoped so

Wouldn’t the world be fun only if there was at least one person like that?

“If you change your mind later, come find me with the Corvo Magic Corps. His Majesty the Emperor doesn’t care about background, so he’ll welcome you.”

“thank you. I’ll see you as soon as the rift is sorted out.”

Duke Magus Killian Hale shook his head excitedly as if he had lost.

Will you come back as soon as things are sorted out?

I’m not sure if I accepted the offer or a polite refusal.

Alpha Company 1st Platoon Barracks.

It was time for the knights to fall asleep, so Elio silenced his footsteps and cautiously walked to his bed.

But that was his mistake.

“What does Duke Magus Killian Hale say?”

Starting with Fabian’s words, the knights stood up.

A bitter smile appeared on Elio’s lips.

Looking at the bright eyes, it seems that they have been waiting.

“It’s just as I expected.”

“Come to the Empire?”

“uh.”

“What do you think Elio will do?”

“He said he would come to see me when the problem with the rift was resolved. I’m putting off my revenge because of the rift, but ‘yes!’ I can’t follow you.”

“I forgot about that.”

The knights’ expressions brightened a little.

They thought it would be difficult with Elio alone, but it was worth trying with the Corvo Magic Corps.

Elio did not tell the hopeful knights that the Corvo Magic Corps would leave soon.

It’s because I don’t want to demoralize myself for something that isn’t certain yet.

***

Command barracks of Count Putocoa.

Tobias Putocoa sent everyone out except Viscount Colacio Keeper, leader of the Griffin Knights.

“The Duke of Escatos has sent a message that he has persuaded Elio. So tell your knights not to provoke or provoke Elio.”

“yes.”

“Have you heard of the failure of Duke Magus Killian Hale?”

“Yes, I heard.”

“What do you think His Highness Escatos IV will do?”

“I will ask for cooperation from the northern kingdoms.”

“What about the empire?”

“As it has been so far, it is highly likely to leave it to the northern kingdoms and fall back.”

“Some say that the cracks will eventually be replaced by walls. Is that possible?”

“Now that the magic has failed, there is no other way than to build a wall. Eventually, it will be converted to wall construction.”

“It’s a castle wall.... Will it be ten years?”

“Considering the coldness of the north and the size of the ice walls... it will take more than that.”

“Do you think Elio will wait until then?”

“...”

Viscount Colacio Keeper was silent.

Everyone in the garrison is aware of Elio’s vengeful spirit toward Count Putocoa.

“If the troops of the Northern Kingdom gather in Hirhera... the troops monitoring the rift will be able to breathe. At that time, if Elio wants to take revenge... Duke Escatos will pretend not to know. Am I wrong?”

“Keep it!”

A moan of pain flowed from Viscount Colacio Kiefer’s mouth.

right.

There is no doubt about the attitude of the Duke of Escatos and the Marquis Bernardo towards Putocoa.

“We must kill Elio before he draws his sword of vengeance. If he moves first, it’s too late. It will come right in front of us before we can do anything about it.”

At the word “slaughter,” Viscount Colacio Keeper raised his head.

“There is no knight in Putokoa that surpasses Helio. No matter how we manage to save the Champion, the nobles will laugh at us if we request a duel first.”

“Is there a Great Warrior?”

It’s kind of like sarcastic talk.

It was only then that Viscount Colacio Keeper realized that he had no great warrior in mind.

A warrior is a person who fights on behalf of the weak, such as children or elderly women, or those of high status.

‘You’re going to kill the enemy in a way other than the Great Warrior?’

It was like saying that he would use his hand secretly without revealing it.

‘Is it an assassination?’

According to Viscount Colacio Keeper’s throat, his dry saliva ‘gulp’ passed.

“Your lord, you can’t...”

“What are you trying to check when you know? Did the light fall only on my feet? I was the one who gave the order, but the one who put it into action is the knight commander. If you don’t want to die, you have no choice but to kill.”

“Of course I do, but... it was so sudden...”

“We don’t have much time. It’s too late when the Northern Kingdom’s army comes. There will be no organization in the kingdom that can take on such a request. Secretly send someone to the imperial capital to find it.”

When the story of ‘organization’ came out following the ‘request’, Viscount Colacio Keeper sighed.

I did it in case, but it’s still the same.

It was a call to ask the assassination squad of the system to kill Elio.

“All right.”

“And the three barons we were detaining should be sent back to Putokoa. It’s only going to eat food if you take it with you.”

“I will send it right away.”

“Viscount Kiefer.”

“yes?”

“It’s not my job, it’s our job. It’s a one-time opportunity that won’t happen again, so please act proactively.”

“yes!”

At the nagging of Tobias Putocoa, who was his son, Viscount Colacio Kiefer was a little hurt in his pride, but he did not show it.

It is also true that he was complacent compared to him, who could look ahead to the next few months.
