STGB Chapter 385

Episode 385 Us (4)

Quaaaaang!

A group of knights who burst through the door while taking a nap on the sofa like lightning in the dry sky.

Even in the middle of waking up, the words of the article stuck in my ears.

“Leechen Scheuitzner is arrested for colluding with Noark.”

Allegations of intrigue…….

This is most likely an excuse to arrest me. The intention is to start an investigation in earnest after arresting him on any charges.

No matter how you look at it, there must have been a lot of suspicious things.

‘Still, it came sooner than I thought.’

In fact, I was mentally prepared to some extent.

It was a situation where he attracted attention by hanging out with Erwen and became more prominent after getting entangled with Raven on the battlefield.

I thought it wouldn’t be strange when this happened.

Chuck-.

The knights who occupied the living room in an instant and surrounded me aimed their swords at once.

There is no sign of belittling me.

The knights fixed their eyes on me at a distance.

“Abandon the Lichen Shuitz weapon.”

Soon, a knight who seemed to be the commander notified me.

and in that situation.

‘Well then…’

I glanced around.

‘What shall I do from now on?’

For once, the wizard is invisible.

It means that all the knights came to catch me.

Considering the status of the knights in PVP, this would be too much power, but it was good news for me. You mean it’s possible to hit them all and run away if necessary.

‘The problem is that at that moment, I will not be able to live in this city…’

This is an option that can only be chosen in the worst situation.

More than anything else, it would conflict with my ultimate goal of reclaiming the name Bjorn Yandel.

‘It’s about time to enter the tiger’s den.’

In the end, in order to regain his name, he has no choice but to contact the royal family.

Of course, if I had been able to find out what their intentions were first, the anxiety factor would have been reduced a lot…

But it’s not like I didn’t find out anything at all.

[…Wanga already knows the identity of the GM.]

The GM is the mental support of the players.

According to the information that Soul Queens spit out at the round table, Wanga knew his identity.

No, where did you know?

Rather, it controlled the information so that its identity was not exposed outside.

In other words, the royal family does not indiscriminately kill evil spirits.

Even in the worst case where Bjorn Yandel is exposed and even the evil spirit is revealed, there is room for negotiation.

But…

‘I guess I’ll have to try to figure out how far they’ve come.’

As soon as I finished my brief thought, I opened my mouth.

“There will be an investigation into suspicion, but please wait a while and let me go after talking to my colleague.”

The reason for this request is very simple.

The other side must of course know that the colleague I am talking about is Erwen.

If you refuse, you have more room to interpret the situation more positively.

This means that he was deliberately targeting Erwen when he was out, and it is also in line with the saying that he doesn’t know enough about me to notice Erwen – “If you’re talking about the blood

spirit, it doesn’t have to be that way. If we go together, we can meet. Tenni.”

At the commander’s words, my head went blank.

“…….”

What? Did Erwen get caught too?

Then what about Amelia who was there?

No, let’s check if this statement is true.

“What proof is there that Erwen is there?”

The commander answered my question without hesitation.

“I swear by the name of the Lapdonia royal family.”

Hey, this isn’t even a lie…….

The situation is not good.

Arresting even Erwen, whom she cherishes from the fairies?

It is said that the royal family has prepared enough justification and grounds to arrest Erwen.

‘Nimiral…….’

The feeling of wanting to stand out and not respond to the arrest right away.

However, since Erwen is captured, that can’t be the case.

“I say one last thing. Lay down your weapon, or I will consider it treason against the royal family.”

At the same time as the commander issued an ultimatum, high-density magic that could be clearly sensed even by the body of a barbarian who was dull to magic vibrated outside the mansion.

Now that I see it, it’s not like there weren’t any wizards.

It was just waiting in an invisible place.

‘Meticulous bastards.’

Soon, I lowered the hammer I was holding weakly.

Swoop.

Right now, there was no other choice.

I have no choice but to stay alert in the future.

***

After the weapon was lowered, the situation developed quickly.

According to the commander’s instructions, the weapon was placed in the subspace, and the knights came and collected the subspace ring.

And…

“Don’t worry, the above items will be returned in their entirety once the charges are cleared.”

The commander’s voice, which had been overbearing, changed to polite.

No, in fact, not only the voice, but the treatment received afterwards was far from treating a criminal.

“I have prepared a wagon.”

A carriage that was waiting as soon as it left surrounded by knights.

It was clearly different from the one used when escorting prisoners.

It wasn’t like a wagon with iron bars, but a luxurious wagon that could only be used by great nobles.

“Tashio. I’m going to the ecliptic Karnon.”

Even the companion was only one commander.

The rest of the knights followed as if escorting the carriage on horseback.

The hospitality he had never received even when he was Baron Yandel.

Drizzle drag.

Soon, the wagon started to run smoothly through the hard Guandu, and I carefully watched the commander sitting across from me.

“Anything uncomfortable?”

no, then there won’t be

I think it’s an absurd question, but it wouldn’t be right to take that attitude here.

I asked cautiously.

“What are my charges really?”

“As I said before—”

“Don’t say you’re accused of cheating. I know you wouldn’t be treated like this if it was.”

“…….”

The commander shut his mouth and put on a troubled expression.

But did he judge that I would continue to bother him by just being silent?

“There’s not much I can tell you right now.”

“But—”

“You’ll find out soon when you get to the ecliptic.”

A commander who cuts the line and ends the conversation.

In the end, there were only two things I found out from the conversation.

“Now what about me?”

“He will decide.”

That a very tall person is waiting for me.

And…

“Were there other people with you when you took Erwen?”

“It is said that she was alone.”

That there is nothing wrong with Amelia’s safety.

After that, they moved by carriage without much conversation, and the carriage that was running through Guando stopped in one place after about an hour.

A military platform in District 7.

The place where the teleportation magic circle connected to each area is located.

Originally, it was a facility prepared for rapid troop movement in case of emergency, but it is usually used as a means of transportation for nobles.

Oh, by the way, this is my first time here.

After receiving the title of baronet, he was eligible to use it, but the cost was prohibitive.

‘I get to ride this like this.’

Without having to get off the wagon, he rode the teleportation magic circle and immediately arrived at the military platform of the ecliptic.

And…

‘It’s not the royal castle.’

The wagon carrying me entered a large mansion located near the royal castle. Thanks to that, I was able to find out who the person who brought me was.

It was because there was a family pattern from the entrance.

A shield with a thorn tree on it.

It is a symbol of the Marquis of Tercerion, and it is safe to say that almost no one knows about it in this city.

For decades since the king rarely appeared in public, Lapdonia’s chancellor, the Marquis Tercerion, has performed most of the official duties on behalf of him.

‘He’s a second person in the kingdom…’

Since the commander wore the pattern of a royal family, not an aristocratic family, I wondered if that high-ranking person might be a member of the royal family.

‘It’s not bad though. The conversation partner is a person with power second only to the king.’

As I think about it, tension builds up in my body.

It feels like stepping into a tiger’s den.

Should I say high risk high return?

If I do well, my problems can be solved at once through a few words of conversation with him… but

if it’s the opposite, I could literally go to hell.

“Get off.”

When I got off the carriage, there were a lot of knights in front of me, and I entered the room while receiving their warm hospitality (?).

rattle.

A hospitality room that looks like a lot of money was spent.

“…Where is Erwen?”

After quickly checking the inside of the room, I asked, and the commander put on a confused expression.

“It was a lie to say you brought her.”

“………what?”

The back of my head was tingling.

No, this bastard must have sold the royal family name earlier?

When I shot those eyes, he averted my gaze as if it wasn’t his will.

“It was inevitable because I had to bring you here as quietly as possible.”

“If you get caught selling the king’s name, you won’t be safe, right?”

“If you don’t get caught, that doesn’t mean you’re safe.”

Huh… Have you ever seen such a flexible person?

Unknowingly, rave reviews came out of my mouth.

“If I had been an explorer rather than a knight, it would have suited me well.”

“It’s okay to be sarcastic. I just chose Silly for my lord’s command.”

He also makes me have nothing to say until the very end.

‘Nimiral……’

In a way, it was something I often did.

Should I say it’s in a similar vein to using the barbarian’s prejudice to swear falsely and deceive the other person?

As it was a method that worked well, it was quite effective.

Who would have imagined that a knight would even mention the king and swear.

‘That also looks like a member of the Royal Knights.’

However, I decided not to be buried too much in the fact that I was deceived.

What if it is not true that Erwen was captured?

If you think differently, there is room for a positive view.

At least it means that Erwen is safe.

‘Besides, it was something I had to go through at least once.’

The important thing is not what you did wrong, but what you will do in the future.

“Well then, what should I do now? Can I just wait again? Until the ‘him’ I mentioned earlier comes?”

“There’s no need to do that.”

The knight shook his head and set the crystal ball down on the table.

The meaning was clear without asking what it was.

Yes, somehow there were no escorts.

I guess you were planning to have a conversation with this from the beginning.

“Then, enough.”

Soon after, the knight said that he could activate the crystal ball after he left, and then left the room. That’s

how I was left alone in the room.

“…….”

Nearby While quickly looking around to see if anyone was hiding in the room, I found a foreign part and swiped the carpet aside

.

Underneath the carpet, colorful geometric magic circles were densely drawn, and

goose bumps

ran down my spine.

Is it because he is the second person in the kingdom?

The scale is no joke.

He said that the mansion itself, where he is currently located, is no different

from a gigantic execution device.

After a while, I pressed the button to activate the crystal ball as instructed by the knight. It was

n’t

long before the crystal ball began to glow and project a human figure. It

was a man with a face I remembered.

Lapdonia A great nobleman with the rank of prime minister and marquess,

Ageni Lorton Tercerion.

He was the one who supervised the event on behalf of the king during the conferment ceremony in the past. “Long time no

see .”

Belatedly, he suddenly stiffened.

‘………It’s been a while?’

As soon as I felt a sense of incongruity, my heart skipped a beat.

Is

it just psychological warfare?

How far does the Marquis know?

I forcibly swallowed the questions that were updated in real time.

There was something I had to come up with much earlier than that.

Now I.

What answer here ? Is it best to do it?

It didn’t take long to finish my thoughts and take action.

“Maybe……”

I politely and cautiously opened my mouth. “Are

you Marquis Tercerion?”

It was judged that such a reaction would be natural for an explorer who was dragged by the knights,

but…

[There’s no way you’ve forgotten my face already… You’re too clever like them, aren’t you?]

The Marquis laughed at me and said my name:

[Quartet Baron Bjorn Yandel.]

It was a full name I hadn’t heard in a very long time.
