86 Lesson 82: The Phantom (1)

Head of the Order of the Holy Knights of Renéa, High Knight Fjord-Weistark.

The knight, who had been bestowed with the highest honor and authority in the former Southern Province of Qualia, had listened to the reports from his knights with a terrible disdain, contrary to his former majestic and domineering expression.

"This is No. 4 in the third district, the general resident area." The junior Holy Knight Beak and his cadet Franco are out of touch. "

The location is the headquarters of the Knights. This is a temporary command post in the Great Hall prepared for the Knights' serial killings.

Documents containing various information are stuck to the walls and floors, and the information is scrutinized by knights and clergy with a sneaky expression.

Knights and slave soldiers and clergy in the Southern Province. Their prestigious battle is happening right here.

At the forefront, a man who does not aggregate all the information and turns into a sleepless keeper clenches his teeth hard against the tragedy that has happened again despite the efforts of death.

"Well... do you have any information on their bodies?" What does a Caymanian medical priest say? "

"Yes, it is still burnt down by flames." However, no blasphemous behavior such as facial damage was confirmed before. According to the priest, it is probably purely for the purpose of killing. "

The killing of the Knights is not over. The opponent is still taking the lives of the Divine Warriors in an unknown way, moving from darkness to darkness.

Contrary to the lofty declarations to the saints, the Knights' current situation was that only the damage would increase to mischief.

"Are you trying to kill us... by cutting our numbers?" But when it comes to eyewitnesses, even if you let multiple people hit you, you can still do this one-sidedly? "

The young holy knight of the questioned year quietly shakes his head. Instead, he added a word of "just," and drew his attention to the report at hand and confirmed its contents.

“I asked the neighbors and they said they heard a man fighting in the middle of the night. I thought maybe this was the time of the murder."

Identifying the time of killing is relatively easy. That's what happens every time.

But only witnesses can confirm why. It can be said to be a vivid skill so far, but it is too creepy to have any warning.

Is there anything strange about this time of day?

"Unfortunately, and there are rumors spreading among the people of a phantom that is harmful to the Knights." Sometimes district priests issue their own restraining orders, and there may be little more information on this than there is on other matters. ”

More than a dozen people, including well-known and powerful Paladins, had already suffered.

The killing of Knightsmen, which is sometimes carried out grandly during the day, should be some kind of a harbinger.

There was no trace before or after the murder. No matter how much the Paladin might say, it would be extremely difficult to grab the opponent's tail.

It acted as if it weren't a person, so it was named after no one else...

"Renéa's Phantom..." The Glorious Order of the Holy Knight is unglorious, isn't it? "

Feeling stuck, the fjord sighed tinyly.

I've grown old around this time.

It is more spiritual than physical.

I sighed again.

You can't leverage the power of the saints here now that you've broken that much.

The fjord is an innocent and religious priestly record.

However, the body is not made of stone, nor is the mind made of pottery.

He is a man, a weeping, a laughing, anger, a joyful being, just like somebody else, whose name is unknown.

That's why you can't wipe away the shame that everyone has, and you can only watch things slip and fall worse.

Originally, this kind of law of your own weakness is what is required of the Paladin.

However, there is no man who does not make mistakes.

Words and deeds such as perfect perfection are the domain of God like no other.

Fjord-Weistark was just a human being with a stronger heart than others.

"Dear Fjord..."

Seeing the distressed fjord, the Holy Knight, who was reporting, also gave a sad expression.

The members of the Order were also human beings.

They understand that the judgment of the fjord is wrong, but they cannot deny it to him.

In addition to a strong sense of companionship to support the respected Commander of the Knights, there was a fear and defense of being pressured by the eyes and responsibilities of the people around him when making the propaganda.

That's why they couldn't say anything because they just looked each other in the eye, and they came here cheating again.

Originally, there is a system of confession and remorse to avoid such problems and to correct the trajectory...

Unfortunately, there were no priests who were not serious and free from the work of hearing the confessions of those sins until now, and there were no priests who had a hobby to cover up their own disfigurement and guarantee that their glory would be unaffected.

The corpse is lying at their feet.

The dead say nothing. Therefore there was no one anymore to tell them the role they were indeed in.

After all, their investigation has not progressed at all.

I just dug a hole without a clue and filled it back with disappointment.

Many times we interact with such seemingly meaningless tortures, and the time that can be said to be valuable is only mischievously consumed.

Even though we clearly know that there are hostiles.

The answer was wrapped in a dim veil, and I would never show myself.

Meanwhile, my companions were burned one after the other.

"...... Is it fire?"

The fjord, which was dull-headed and had been refuting the contents of the report for some time, crushed unnoticed.

All the Knights were killed by fire.

Of course, everyone in the group knew that fact, and they also prepared sacred defenses against the demonic fire.

In addition, multiple alerts may increase safety, but above all, it is assumed that you will escape and notify your people.

In this case, the Paladin Peak fought the Renair Phantom, while the Cavalier Peak ran away and summoned his allies.

Of course, everyone is aware of this, and there is no one who disputes that the collection of information is the first.

However, the reality is that all those measures have ended unexpectedly.

"The opponent is unknown and cannot escape." Burned to the ground, just like our eyes are out of sight of our surveillance and vigilance. How the hell is that? "

It's just...

There was something in the fjord that caught me a little bit.

I'm missing something. I feel something rather uncomfortable.

I don't know what that is.

In fact, he was secretly taught by Elakino the terrible possibility that the Doom King Ira-Tact was still in this world.

I was also informed that this series of incidents is likely to be the hands of Ira = Tact.

That's why the fjord received with impatience that the strange discomfort was getting stronger and stronger day by day.

Maybe they're making some fatal mistake. But I don't know what that is.

Even though the demonic hand came right in front of us, there was no way to see it for themselves.

The fact was that my fellow men's reluctance to avenge me was above all a matter of teeth.

“I'm going to take a break. I will also pray to God, so if you can, don't let anyone pass."

While rubbing his eyebrows, the fjord rises from its seat to change its mood.

I wanted to put my head in order. I thought that if I prayed to God, I might be able to wipe out this headache.

You might know the answer to such a strange feeling that you are not yourself.

The fjord had already had such low hopes several times.

"Understood, my great knight Fjord. In that case, after a while, the commander will take care of it....."

"I'm sorry, please."

Even the unwieldy followers of the younger Holy Knight of the year were unable to give a satisfactory return, and the Commander of the Holy Knight Order, Fjord, left the command post.

………

……

…

Patan and the door can be closed.

The back that I thought was so big looked small, and the remaining Paladin fell lightly on his head to the left and right, as if to shake his thoughts.

"Alright, let's wash the trend of the deceased again." You may have missed it. I will notify the soldiers to repeat the investigation with the citizens. Now I think it's necessary to tell you a little bit about our situation, but what do you think? "

To fill the fjord, the Holy Knight begins to confer with an indispensable energy.

Once again, we have fewer friends, so we need to follow them up.

In addition, new measures will be necessary. I can't leave everything to the fjord, at least I want to put together a plan for him to help.

Yes, it raises the airborne flame, but the door opens vigorously as if it was twitching its nose.

Excuse me!

It was the Knights' Generals who showed up.

From the clothes, it was thought that the main task was to send a message, etc., but I was very sad and I was in a panic.

A gaze gathers around the attitude.

The messenger's soldiers gazed at the holy knights, who were far superior to them, and squinted.

In that case, from the capital of the kingdom... an emissary has arrived.

It was now the turn of the Holy Knights to groan.

At the same time, the thought of finally arriving and the desire to be left alone still intersect.

The capital of the kingdom, or kingdom, is a messenger from Qualia.

The agenda would of course be the question of this departure and the founding of the country, that is, the closure of the Divine Guangguo Renair.

However, there were many problems in responding to Qualia in the current situation where the adversary was in the country, and there was a possibility of internal interference in the event that the internal affairs were known.

If that happens, the end of the legion of the Holy Knights, the so-called traitor, will be tragic.

They had to cover up this problem at all costs.

For this reason, the most important thing existed.

That is......

So, who's coming?

The Knights opened their eyes again in surprise.

There was the Knight Commander Fjord, who was supposed to have left the room earlier.

Dear Fjord! I was just on my way to my room, but that's all right now?

"Oh, it doesn't look like I'm resting." You there, I'll listen to you too. "

I couldn't deny the Knights' members, who in their hearts were unexpectedly saved.

They are not so experienced or brave as to be able to make some kind of decision independently in this situation.

Either way, you don't have the authority to do that, so it was definitely a matter of calling in the fjord.

In a way, I would have said it was a crossing ship.

The Knights quietly watched what was going on.

I can determine the extent to which Qualia is willing to intervene in this issue.

Depending on the other party, this connection may be possible.

If it seems to go under the sleeve, it is best.

However, contrary to the interest of the Knights, the man who preached seemed to be stubborn.

“What's the matter? We need to prepare ourselves for whoever's coming. I know you're in a panic because of the sudden, but you need to calm down."

--Mr., it's me.

"Hmm, I'm sorry, but please speak up a little louder."

It's a small voice. Although she has excellent physical abilities, she cannot hear the tired Knights' hearing.

When the fjord asked again, tilting its neck strangely, the man who was trembling and shivering finally decided to do so. This time, everyone in the Great Hall cried out in a clear voice.

"Likewise, I am the Diary Saintess Litrain-Nerim-Quartz!!"

All the holy knights and soldiers who were watching over the situation, a whisper occurs in the words.

The worst name I could have guessed was released.

In this situation, a contact from the Saintess of Qualia.

It was confirmed that they would be dragged further into the mud as they scratched the algae in the challenge.

Further difficult helmsmen will be required in the future.

If you make a mistake, you will not escape from your country. That's all I had to deal with.

While the Holy Knights showed a uniform expression as if they had crushed bitter insects in a new phase of the homeland, the senior Holy Knight Fjord-Weistark, who was deceived by the presence of this person in the Southern Province, likewise drew a wrinkle between his eyebrows...

I snorted quietly without anyone noticing.
