62 Episode 61: Royal Capital Raid

The dazzling moon was hitting the spire of the Royal Castle, and the House of the Duke of Dragnaut was still full of excitement.

Healing Claudia has recovered-a phenomenal recovery that can be called a level that night.

The resurrection of the second daughter, who had long been lying down, was enough to delight the Duke, his sister Astrid, and those who served the Duke family.

The beneficiary, however, accomplished the miracle but fell down, leaving the duke uneasy. thing.

When this was heard, both Dr. Dragnaut and Astrid, and Claudia, who had recovered, struck down the chest.

Later, a small feast was held at the Duke's House.

Even though it was a feast, I just made the usual dinner a bit luxurious, I did not even use noises in consideration of the sleeping Sora, but it was still enough to raise the excitement because Claudia was a duke It would have been a testimony of being loved.

Drag Note, who is always known for being honest, strict and generous, and his daughter, Astrid, do not usually take a mouth, or even if they do, take a bite or two mouthfuls of wine and chew their cheeks. It was dyed red.

For the two who have been wearing their mind and body due to the curse that suddenly hit Claudia over the past year, today is a miracle that literally turned into a dream.

The situation is no different for servants and knights who report directly to the Duke.

The banquet held at the residence of the leading aristocrat of the Kingdom of Canary did not reach the neighbors and the streets over the walls and gates, but the joy that must have been the best of the royal city of the night.

At the end of the day, this day would have been remembered as one of the best days in the duke's history.

But, however.

It was just this night that the evil swallowing the royal city looked into his face.

◆◆◆

"I'll tell you too!"

The moment he heard the voice, Astrid's consciousness, which had been sitting on the chair in a tipsy manner, awoke instantly.

Already late at night, Claudia has taken over in her room. Astrid was thinking about going to sleep soon, but when he saw the soldier's face in front of him, that thought broke away.

The voice and expression filled with a sense of danger seem to have been assaulted from directly behind on the battlefield, and Astrid's face naturally tightened.

"What is it?"

Astrid stands out of her chair, uttering a calm voice.

Unfortunately, one of the soldiers who served as the gatekeeper tonight looked at the faces of those who ran.

He knew it because, during the feast, Astrid handed in the beef.

The face of the soldier, who had blushed with gratitude and inspiration after receiving the submission of the Duke's daughter himself, has now turned dark like that of the dead.

The soldier reports in a pant voice.

Yoshi: "She is a raid! Undead monsters overflowing from the National Cemetery are attacking the houses in large numbers! It is likely that they will soon be here!"

"... Undead monster?"

Astrid frowns at the soldier's words. The bad news was predicted, but the content was unexpected.

Not only in the royal city of Horus, but also in the cemeteries of large towns, there is a temple barrier without exception.

Necromancy This is a measure to eliminate the turmoil.

Necromancers In particular, the barriers of the National Cemetery were built by the temple of the God of Law, mobilizing more than 100 priests and priests with their prestige. Breaking this would have required more than a hundred people.

A voice of another person flew from the side of Astrid who thought.

"Who did you see the undead?"

That was Pascal of Dragnaut. He seems to be an accustomed aristocrat, quickly getting drunk and asking soldiers for details.

"Hah! I heard from an old man who has fled from the cemetery and checked with my own eyes! There are already a great number of dead on the avenue!"

"The number of dead"

"It wasn't a hundred or two hundred. At least a thousand. If there were more than just a boulevard, the total number would probably be more than ten times!"

"Thank you for reporting, hurry back to the post and tell the soldiers to defend the gate. I will send you reinforcements immediately."

"Understood!"

The saluted soldier jumps out in a dash.

By this time, all members of the Duke's mansion were drunk and awaited Duke's orders.

Dragnaut left the mansion with them and his daughter.

Anyway, I thought it was the first thing to check outside.

The moment he stepped out of his home, Dragnot realized that something was wrong.

Awate: The skin of Dr. Drag Note was dull.

Roshi Intense chills and a strange smell. Even though the season is already in the summer, cold air rises from your feet as if you have returned to the winter.

Astrid frowned and approached his father.

"Father, this is ..."

Necromancer "It's a magical power that cools down, let's call it evil. And this death odor.

The face of Drag Note is so steep.

It's like playing with the dead. There is no doubt that it has a strange idea.

However, it is not an unusual partner to produce such a strong sign anyway. That conviction brought the duke's face toughness.

At that time, a call was made to call them from the direction of the mansion.

"Father, sister!"

"Crow !?"

Astrid raises a surprise voice.

As the words suggest, there was a figure of a younger sister who had been taken to the room.

Why his sister came here-Claudia's character makes it easy to predict.

Astrid reflexively opened his mouth.

"Crow, you are--"

"I don't want to retreat to my house! My father has to go to the royal palace right away, and even my sister may have to sortie to protect the city. Is it your role? "

Apparently, the maids in the house seemed to hear roughly, and Claudia was already aware of the situation.

And that point is correct.

Dragnaut has the role of Secretary of State and Astrid has the role of Dragoon.

The father and eldest daughter inadvertently looked at each other, found the same answer on each other's faces, and sighed at the same time, unexpectedly.

Thus, when the Dukes of Dragnaut arrived at the front gate, the turmoil had already reached the ears of everyone.

The screams of people echoing in the wind and the roar of the dead. There seems to be a fire already, and red light scorching the night sky can be seen everywhere.

Fortunately, the scale of the fire is not large yet, but as the firefighting activities do not remain due to the death of the dead, the spread of sparks in the night wind could lead to a big fire that would burn down the royal capital.

Guru: "I have to hurry up and wipe out the dead who wandered around the city and calm down the fire. And it's the National Cemetery. It's very likely that the source of the dead is really over there. Nananu

As Dr. Dragnaut said, Astrit was in favor.

"Yes, but my soldiers alone are not enough. My father should go to the royal palace with a dragon, and get permission from the Majesty to send the guards. In the meantime, I will go to the cemetery with my dragon, Let's find out where he is. "

"Um. Be careful. It's a technique of this scale. There shouldn't be one or two enemies."

"I know. Klaus should stay away while I'm away."

"Yes!"

It was when Claudia nodded greatly at her sister's words.

A sudden laughter resounded and surprised those who were there.

"Hi-hi-hi! This voice, this sign. This is ... this is really recovering."

Looking back to a familiar voice, an old man holding a biwa sat there leaning on the wall of the Duke's mansion.

Looking at the old man laughing happily in this situation, Dr. Drag Note and Astrid frown suspiciously.

Only Claudia, who knew the old man's face, shouted suspiciously.

"Grandfather? Why here?"

"... Crow. Who is this?"

Kanade: "Um, they are playing songs for those who died at the National Cemetery."

"Song? Oh, maybe the old man who fled from the cemetery you mentioned earlier--"

"Baboon, good morning, this is my monk. Well, to be precise, he did not escape, but attacked him. Yo, Astrid Dragnaut "

Saying, the old man strums beven and biwa. At that moment, Astrid frowned with a strange noise running in his ear.

Some of the reasons for frowning include the slight discomfort of having abandoned the name by an unknown old man.

It was the duke soldiers around that who were more angry than Astrid. They change their blood and surround the old man.

But whether he was blind or did not perceive the soldiers as a threat at all, the attitude of the old man remained the same.

Astrid unconsciously puts his hand on his hip sword and reopens his mouth.

"I've been at least-have you attacked? Does that mean you've launched an attack, are you an old man?"

"Let's celebrate the violent deities with music and purify and purify evil spirits that harm others. The dead who overflowed into the city, this is all my job. "

Here, Dr. Dragnaut addressed the old man for the first time.

Raising: "Take care. No matter how much you are, it is impossible for you to break the barrier in the cemetery alone. For this reason, I sometimes speak out of silence: I know, but I know the time and place, and this time I will be punishable by punishment. "

The spell, "Hi-hi-hi-hi! Barrier, Barrier ?! Well, it's true that it was filled with simplicity, but the continent's surgeon prepared it. I ’m going to be able to block my priest ’s art!

"... Is it a madman?"

Birth hot water "hihihihihihihi! The sound of 'Raiko', Pascal Jim Dragnaut, wasn't the one in the well. I couldn't notice or acknowledge that there was a strong man in front of me. The man of the degree is the strongest, and the kingdom of Canary is truly slimy! "

It was the soldiers who served the public, not the public of Dragnaut, that furiously heard it.

Although he did not try to kill a dead old limb like a dead tree, several soldiers wielded their swords and swords if they had to do one of them.

On the other hand, the old man twisted his lips and strummed his biwa.

Immediately.

"Ah ah !?"

The soldiers screamed, held their ears, and fell on the spot.

When the old man pawls the biwa two or three more times, the body of the soldiers jumps, despite the ears being held down.

As a result, Drag Note and Astrid, who saw the old man as the enemy, move simultaneously.

The level of Astrid is thirty-seven. The two men seriously prevented their serious slashing, however.

That "" is a fallen-"

Sphere It is the earth magic that corresponds to the eighth.

Dragnote father and daughter slash on the black wall that appeared to protect the old man.

Astonishment leaked from the mouth of Dragnaught's father and daughter.

Area "What ... the eighth magic !?"

"That also means chanting ..."

"Baboon, did you say that the one who is in front of the nun is a strong man who surpasses the nun. Even if he brought the proud dragon, it would not be possible to hurt my monk. Known

The old man started playing violently.

Messy performance as if trying to tear off strings.

The old man told all who were there with a gentler sound.

Shinsogu "This is a requiem dedicated to Unura. It is a souvenir from my monk.

Death mound-cry,
