Chapter 194

Episode 194

: Easton, the only city in the South.

The place, which was always quiet and full of tension, somehow became a bit busier than usual.

“Are you sure you’re not here yet?”

“yes. “I looked around the whole castle, but I couldn’t find it.”

“What do those on the border say?”

“They say they didn’t find a single hair.”

“Hmm...”

The knights wandered through the castle.

Looking for someone. Despite their noisy appearance, people did not complain even once.

Rather, he helped them and moved together.

Who on earth is the whole castle in such a commotion looking for?

“It’s already been 7 hours?”

“uh. Where on earth have you gone? “He usually came back in two or three hours.”

“That means it’s going to get even crazier. “What will the elves do if they find out he’s gone?”

“Ugh... it’s scary to even think about it.”

“Have you been captured by barbarians?”

“what? no way. no way. It’s not like he doesn’t know this place. I’ve been here for a week, so I guess I know the route to some extent. And how could they do something like that against the elves without the barbarians going crazy?”

“Well, that’s true. “I’ll be with the elves.”

“Ha... Where on earth did they disappear?”

“I know. I was going to ask you to spar with me this time, but... Where is Sir Raymond!”

What they were looking for was Raymond.

It’s already been 7 hours since I said I was going to the elves.

It was already too long before he came back, but he never thought about coming back.

Count Warrug was also embarrassed because this was his first time doing something like this.

If I had been worse, I would have run to the Marquis of Easton and told him that he should form a rescue team.

He was afraid of what would happen to him if Raymond went wrong and was afraid of Selina’s gaze, so he became restless.

“I’m going crazy. Even though he is a guy who doesn’t know where he might end up, he doesn’t go out like this...”

They didn’t know that Raymond was in the middle of a conversation with the World Tree.

That’s why I was anxious about whether something had happened to Raymond.

Because of Raymond, Easton brightened up a little.

Being able to borrow the power of the elves at any time was so great.

However, the fact that a problem arose with Raymond, who was the source of that power, was something that could never be taken lightly.

If done wrong, the peace agreement with the elves could be broken.

At least I needed to know what was going on and where I was going.

Wouldn’t that allow us to understand the situation and prepare for it?

But in the current situation, we can’t even properly understand what happened, let alone prepare for it.

“If it doesn’t work out, you can call Gerard...”

That was the worst and final move.

It happens at the end, when you can’t even handle it yourself, pretending to be the last.

And the moment you call him, the entire central magic tower will move and the royal family will have no choice but to move as well.

The central magic tower is neutral. A place where wizards from various countries who could not enter the Imperial Magic Tower gather.

Considering the power of the magic tower alone, it is comparable to the imperial magic tower.

Unofficially, they may surpass the royal family, but out of consideration for the royal family’s reputation, they may publicly be considered one level higher than the royal family.

In a way, it may be natural, as the magic tower owner is the Millennium Count.

In any case, the Central Magic Tower never goes out on personal matters.

That’s why Count Millennium doesn’t step forward unless it’s something serious.

When you step out, do so in the name of the Count, not the name of the Mage Tower owner.

‘In the first place, there’s no way those crazy people will stay still when the magic tower lord is moving.’

To the magic tower, the magic tower lord was God itself.

I could answer no to that question.

“Lord Bane remains at the castle. “It is impossible for you, our greatest force, to be left out.”

“but...!”

“Instead, Zeno. “I need you to move.”

Everyone’s eyes turned to one direction at the Marquis of Easton’s words.

A man with a faint presence stepped forward from the shadows next to the Marquis of Easton.

Zenon.

A knight and ranger who is also called the Marquis of Easton’s right hand man.

Wearing blackened iron armor, he is a high-level expert, but his strength is comparable to that of the highest level, and even the Warrug Count must be nervous in the forest.

“You must go to the elf village with two rangers and check on Sir Raymond’s safety. Since the situation is an emergency, we must move quickly. Is it possible?”

“If you just let me do it, I will reform myself.”

Zenon bows his head.

Count Warrug looks at him and nods.

“I’m sure you can trust him.”

Because they had sparred several times, Count Warrug did not insist any further and took a step back.

“okay. Because Zenon handles his duties reliably. I thought this matter was over. Let’s move on to the next matter.”

The meeting lasted about an hour.

After the meeting, as they left the command barracks one by one, Count Warrug called Zenon, who had just left the barracks.

“What do you have to do?”

Is it because Count Warrug is a sword master?

Zeno’s attitude towards him was as polite as that towards the marquis.

His eyes were even full of respect.

“I have a favor to ask.”

“Please... do you mean?”

Zenon tilted his head.

He looked puzzled that the Sword Master, who seemed to have nothing he couldn’t do, would ask him a favor.

“Raymond...”

“Ah...”

Zenon nodded as if he understood, but opened his mouth with a curious look on his face.

Even though they were all part of the group, it was surprising that the Sword Master took such personal care of them.

Unlike Raymond, he had no interest in the other party members.

“It’s embarrassing to ask you this, but... that guy came with me as a messenger. So please take care of me.”

“Please just leave it to me. “I will risk my life to make sure you are safe.”

“I wouldn’t risk my life, but anyway, thank you for saying that.”

“no.”

“okay. “Have a hard time.”

Count Warrug patted Zenon on the shoulder and walked away.

Zenon looked back and forth between his shoulder and the Warrug Count and smiled strangely.

And then I took a step and headed straight for the rangers’ accommodation.

“It’s time to move! Vater Ruth. “We’re moving right now, so get ready and come out the back door within 5 minutes!”

He just said what he had to say and moved on.

Dozens of daggers and daggers in preparation for battle. I took some poison and potions and headed to the back door of the castle wall with a sword.

“Are you here!”

“What is this mission? Leader?”

He nodded in satisfaction to the rangers who came first and were waiting, and briefly explained what they had to do.

“oh. Are we finally going there?”

“I’m curious. “What would a forest look like that doesn’t accept any living creatures except animals and elves?”

Seeing their slightly excited appearance, Zenon warns them not to relax.

“This mission requires us to move quickly. “Those who lag behind will come back and experience hell, so they move because they know that!”

The rangers nodded and followed Zenon out the back door.
