Episode 28
A prophet of my age.
There are not many prophets themselves, but among them, there is only one prophet of my age at this time.
Unbelievable Prophet Cassandra.
“…What bullshit!”
That was the moment.
Swoop.
A sneaky blow quickly targeted the man with whom she had a quarrel.
“Tsk < shield >.”
Caang!
He narrowly deflected the blow.
The man who saw the sword ricocheted out in front of him sighed and took a backward step.
“Hee hee hee…?!”
“Are you crazy to wield a sword in the middle of the Imperial Capital?”
I bluntly said to the knight who stood in front of Cassandra.
The armor was so ordinary that they didn’t even know he was a paladin, but he could feel the divine power faintly.
‘Is that the paladin?’
The one who followed Cassandra.
I didn’t know exactly what it was, but I definitely realized that the blow I had just taken was never easy.
Just blocking that blow, 3 circles’ worth of mana drained.
That’s about it even though it’s as efficient as possible using the orb.
‘…It doesn’t even look like they’ve done their best.’
A paladin like this would have been quite well known.
It wasn’t easy to see right away because he was covering his face with a helmet.
Whatever.
“Put the sword in. If you don’t want to make a big deal out of it.”
“…Why should I? The one who tried to attack Casa first was over there.”
“What if I cut it? Are you going to live as a criminal for the rest of your life? Wake. This is the imperial capital.”
“….”
At my words, the paladin quietly glared at me.
His eyes were glaring fiercely as if he would slash me immediately if he got caught between the helmets.
‘How familiar.’
The aggression that runs at it like a mad dog without thinking like that.
get used to something
I must have known someone similar…
“Stop it, Sir Arain.”
“…Casa.”
“are you okay. I can explain everything, so you don’t have to overreact.”
At those words, the paladin quietly lowered his head and stepped back.
Her gaze turned towards me.
Black hair like jet black and golden eyes.
Seeing this, I was sure.
Yes, this girl is definitely the prophet I was looking for.
Then she grabbed the tip of her skirt and politely greeted me.
“nice to see you.”
“Is it a first meeting?”
“It would be nice to see that for now.”
A completely unsurprised look.
‘Have you seen it already?’
Not a few things have changed since I came back from the future.
Even this situation right now would not have happened originally.
But what I expected….
‘Interesting.’
Maybe ‘prophecy’ shows even the changed future?
It was then.
“Stop making such crazy introductions and wake up, won’t you?”
Lian suddenly interrupted and said.
“Look around. Everyone is watching us now.”
“hmm.”
Looking around, I was sure it was as Ryan said.
However, the fact that the opponent who was in a dispute secretly took a step backwards was an honorable mention.
“< hold >.”
“…?!”
The man stiffened and collapsed to the floor.
“Rian. Look into that bosom.”
Lian looked into the man’s arms with a puzzled expression.
and after a while
“huh? This…”
Lian pulled out a luxurious material pouch from the man’s body.
“What are you doing! Why are you rummaging through other people’s arms?!”
“What to do? I’m trying to find the owner of the stolen item. If there’s nothing special, I won’t say anything…I
said, waving the pouch I received from Lian in front of the man.
“…Are you there?”
“That’s mine!”
“It doesn’t look like Priest Heo, but he has a sign that only those belonging to the religious state have it?”
“…what?”
At my words, the man broke into a cold sweat and glared at Cassandra.
I laughed at him rather shamelessly.
“Don’t make foolish tricks. Even if you hold out for nothing, you will be at a disadvantage.”
“What are you saying…!”
Before I could say anything more, I grabbed his face.
“If you have a little head, think about it, you asshole.”
“…?!”
I looked at him and said in a low voice.
“All of them have already been caught, but the more you hold on, the more disadvantageous it is. Where do you want to go?”
“…?!”
A pickpocket who rolls his eyes at my words and worries.
However, he asked me if I had managed to organize my thoughts.
“Are you going to send me a report?”
“Instead, there is one condition.”
I tapped the pattern on the nape of the pickpocket’s neck and told him.
“Tell it to the rat. Walpurgis is looking for you. If he’s a guy, he’ll figure it out.”
“Babalpur…!”
“stop.”
“…?!”
Blocking the pickpocket’s mouth with magic, I woke up as if nothing had happened.
“Okay, it’s over! It happened because of a mutual misunderstanding, so don’t pay attention to it!”
In the meantime, the pickpocket took a step back with a pale face, and then disappeared completely.
Then the crowd of passers-by left one by one.
And when the surroundings are quiet.
“Is it a first meeting?”
At my words, she smiled bitterly.
“…About half of it.”
We moved right away.
Since there were still quite a few people watching, he decided that it would be better to have a conversation in a more secluded place.
“For now, yours.”
“thank you. Were you all watching?”
“It’s not like that.”
Haven’t you seen it there?
“I’m used to the atmosphere of a guy confronting you, so I just intervened.”
“Uh um….”
Well, I snatched the pocket from Cassandra, but rather, she caught him, so it must have gone strong in reverse.
It’s a fairly common tactic.
“Anyway, thank you. Well, it’s a pity that I couldn’t prevent that person’s fate just now, but I can’t help it.”
“You wouldn’t have believed it anyway?”
“That’s right too.”
Smiling, the girl bowed her head to me.
“Thank you anyway.”
She looked at me and asked me in a relaxed voice.
“About me…Do I need to introduce myself?”
“Casa!”
At that time, the paladin urgently blocked her words, but she shook her head with a wry smile.
“It’s okay, because I saw everything.”
“…!”
At those words, the paladin’s shoulders trembled and he quickly stepped back.
“What the hell is this situation?”
“I’m a bit embarrassed too.”
Ryan and Aileen also looked at me and the girl alternately, with expressions that didn’t make sense.
It was then.
“…You are a prophet.”
The butler intervened.
A slightly bitter atmosphere, opposite to the usual light atmosphere.
With his hands behind his back, he looked at the girl and the paladin alternately.
“Are you from the church country? No, it looks a little different from that…”
“This is information that an old man like a snake does not need to know.”
“Hehe, to the butler serving the Mado family, being like a snake is no fault at all. Rather, could you answer my question?”
At that, the paladin reached for the sword at his waist. It doesn’t seem strange to pull it out right away.
It was around the time that such a strange confrontation ensued.
“that’s right.”
The girl who had been quiet until then stepped forward.
“As the old man said, I am a prophet. It doesn’t have much to do with the church, though.”
She then revealed her name.
“My name is Cassandra.”
also.
Was she that Cassandra?
And she looked at me and said.
“And I was waiting for you, Mikhail Walpurgis.”
“…!”
I didn’t expect this
* * *
“…what?”
Squeak.
Something wriggling in the dark asked with its eyes glowing.
“Walpurgis is looking for me? No, what is that noble family looking for me for?”
“That’s me too…”
The pickpocket man replied with his shoulders shaking.
If you lose your mind even for a moment in front of the person in front of you, that day will be the end.
The dark side of this vast imperial capital.
The monster rat that rules the eastern part of the dark district.
“Huh, little Walpurgis…I’ve heard that Walpurgis’s youth is pretty hopeless, but he came out like that?”
As he stroked his thin beard, the ‘Cyber Rat’ giggled and laughed.
‘Fuck fuck fuck…!’
The pickpocket man shuddered and tried to keep his composure.
“Sorry!”
He banged his head on the floor and screamed desperately.
“Uh, I tried to get my hands on that bag somehow, but it was because of him…!”
“Oh, the reason for the failure is because of the child of Walpurgis?”
“That’s right!”
In fact, the man thought so.
If it hadn’t been for that little thing, it would have been easy to get out.
“So, how was the paladin escorting the girl?”
“…?!”
“I wouldn’t have known that either. sick bastard. If that bastard hadn’t intervened, you’d have gone after him on the spot.”
The rat got up from its seat and slowly approached the man.
“What is the subject that came to me after failing so much that I couldn’t tell the difference? You said you could have succeeded if it wasn’t for that bastard?”
“Uh uh….”
The man screamed, but couldn’t move at all.
An aura I couldn’t quite figure out was entangling me.
Why?
last minute.
– I told you. At this rate, you might be in big trouble.
The girl’s ‘warning’ came to mind.
At the time, I thought it was bullshit to catch myself, but….
‘no way.’
The man closed his eyes in fear of death that filled his neck.
“Please have mercy on me…”
“Eat it.”
-Kigeek!
And as soon as he said that, the shadows moved and began tearing the man to shreds like mad.
“Buy and live…Kkekek?!”
The man struggled and tried to survive somehow, but to no avail.
In the place where the man had been for an instant, all that remained was a pure white bone.
“A sick bastard.”
Looking back at the spot with pitiful eyes, he soon lost his anger and sat down in his seat.
“It’s twisted…”
The original plan was simple.
To lure the bitch in by baiting the pouch.
I knew that the girl was a prophet, and I also knew that she was not treated badly in the church.
of course.
I also knew that it was worth using.
“But Walpurgis…?”
up
I gnashed my teeth at the rising irritation.
Why the hell did that insane magic family suddenly intervene?
‘How do I do it?’
The fact that he even brought up the word ‘sittle rat’ means that the kid in Walpurgis knows something about him.
‘It’s difficult at this rate…’
After thinking about it for a while, someone called.
“How did it go?”
“Oh you were there.”
The rat giggled and laughed.
“I forgot for a moment that I have a great sword master next to me. Oh, I’m sorry!”
“Stop messing around and tell me.”
The sharp tip of the sword was aimed at the end of the rat’s throat.
The rat grinned and looked at him.
The opponent had his face covered with an iron mask.
“If I die, you won’t find me forever, will you?”
“There are enough people other than you to ask for information.”
“no no. It’s hard to find anyone better than me when it comes to information. Isn’t that why you came?”
The rat grinned.
“I just had a good idea. Hey Sword Master Nari. If you solve this problem, I will definitely give you the information you want.”
“….”
She didn’t answer, but the rat continued.
“Did you hear that earlier? Walpurgis seems to have intervened.”
“…so?”
“Help me.”
He said with an ugly smile.
“I just thought of a good business.”
Great mage who transcends by regression
