Chapter 182

Episode 182:

Eat, drink and talk.

The soldiers’ laughter filled the castle.

They were happy.

I lived every day in tension, not knowing when Kairos would strike.

There was no place to get help.

The Kingdom of Serion had many areas to be wary of.

Due to its location, it bordered the empire and other kingdoms.

In addition, the northern part was also attached to Easton, so it was impossible to concentrate the troops in one place.

By moving soldiers in the capital, they could become prey to other countries.

Therefore, the Marquis of Easton did not expect much help other than receiving supplies.

Even if they came to help, there was no guarantee that they would be helpful.

The barbarians were clearly different from the knights in the center.

It was difficult for them, who had always fought tough battles, to be active in a battle with barbarians that was no different from a fight.

It was to the point where I felt lucky if it didn’t become a burden.

However, this supply was different from usual in many ways.

First of all, Count Warrug, called Musin, who came down to the south and often helped by defeating barbarians, was the leader of the supply unit.

Just that alone shows the strength of a hundred knights.

I thought it was enough if I stopped without the other drivers helping me.

“I never thought I would experience such a miracle in my lifetime to make peace with the elves!”

“Sir Raymond! “Let’s have a drink with me!”

The actions of Raymond Millennium, who came with Count Warrug, distorted existing common sense.

They achieved peace with the elves who never accepted strangers.

I don’t know exactly how it was done.

But to be honest, it didn’t really matter.

What does it matter what method is used?

Thanks to this, the elves who use the power of spirits have become reliable allies.

It didn’t matter what method was used as long as it didn’t betray Serion.

No, rather, they wanted to use that method themselves.

Would they not have wanted to make peace with the elves?

A whopping fifty years.

During the fifty years that Easton settled in the South and began dealing with the barbarians, he sought help from the Elves and tried to give them help.

The elves hated Kairos as much as they did.

Knowing that, I thought they would be a reliable ally, but I failed every time due to their exclusionary tendencies.

Raymond did that all at once.

It was amazing and surprising.

And I was happy. If we can borrow the power of the elves, the burden of stopping Kairos will be reduced.

“Please tell me about your experience.”

“How on earth did you persuade those picky bastards?”

“Key! “The sun will rise in the west tomorrow because the elves are our allies!”

They shouted for joy and looked for Raymond.

After searching for Raymond for a while, they realized something was strange.

The main character of this feast, Raymond, was nowhere to be seen.

How did this happen?

Apparently, they were drinking wine together just a moment ago.

“Find it now!”

“How dare you run away from us?”

“I won’t let you sleep today!”

They weren’t offended.

Rather, they got up and started forming a search team as if everything was going well despite being bored.

And so an unintentional game of tag began.

***

The sky seen from the Millennium Estate and the night sky seen from the south had a different feel.

I returned to my room, avoiding the soldiers.

If I stayed there, I felt like I would be trapped in a party that would never end.

Their excitement was good, but unfortunately there was no time to enjoy it.

There was something more important than that now.

Although it looks like water, it is the water of the World Tree.

It was water like an elixir that cured diseases for ordinary people just by drinking it, and for Aura users, it slightly increased the amount of Aura.

There was no need to worry because the water was full of vitality.

In fact, hatchlings may become stronger through this.

I looked at the hatchling for a moment and then left the room.

Even if I watched, it wasn’t like I could get better faster, and more than anything, the temperature in the room was too hot due to the heat from the hatchlings.

If I stayed away, some people would be suspicious, so I decided to go back.

“Um... But you never know.”

I hung the cotton on the clasp.

To open the door, you have to unlock the lock, and if you do this, you have to take out the cotton to open the door.

There is no way to open the door without breaking it.

No one comes into my room anyway, but I don’t know what happens to people.

If I do it this way, no one will come into my room.

I left the building, checking the lock several times.

If the current state of your room is revealed to others, you are bound to be suspected in many ways.

So, we should block it like this, at least as a temporary measure.

“Raymond!”

“Find Raymond!”

“I’ll catch you first!”

As I came out, I kept my mouth shut at the sight that unfolded before my eyes.

For some reason, all the soldiers were going crazy, calling my name.

Although the executives might have tried to stop them, they were smiling and looking at the sight happily.

‘If you get in there...’

I thought about revealing that I was here, but then I shook my head.

I don’t know why you’re looking for me.

‘That’s dangerous.’

Even though their condition was strange, it was still too strange.

They ran around like crazy, determined to find me somehow.

I don’t think it will look good if I get caught by them.

“Hmm... I’m not good at enjoying the feast.”

I tried to eat meat in peace, but looking at that made me realize how futile my thoughts were.

I don’t know what will happen if they catch me, but I can’t believe I’m thinking of enjoying the feast comfortably.

It’s funny even when I think about it.

It was time to turn around and hide in a suitable place until the soldiers calmed down.

“It’s over there!”

“Raymond is over there!”

“Catch it!”

The soldiers who discovered me started running like crazy.

It was like seeing a horde of zombies in a horror movie, and I got goosebumps on my arms.

I reflexively turned and ran away.

Wouldn’t it have been necessary to run away?

Since he is a person with character, wouldn’t it be possible to resolve the issue through conversation?

“Run away!”

“Hold it now!”

I blamed myself for thinking such carelessly.

Their condition did not seem conducive to conversation.

Don’t get caught.

With only that thought in my mind, I ran.

“It’s here!”

“Drive it here!”

There’s a problem.

I don’t know the geography of this place very well.

It was my first time here and I had never really looked around.

So even if I ran away, I didn’t know where to run to.

Unlike me, the soldiers were people who had been living here for a long time.

These people have memorized the structure of castles so well that they can move around with their eyes closed.

Before I knew it, I felt like I was being hunted by them.
