chapter 11
In commemoration of becoming a companion – 4
said Neryl.
“Would you like it?”
“what.”
“I can only hear your name from all directions. I think your own plan has failed. Originally, it must have been a courtroom to exalt his name.”
“It was a reflection of the Viscount’s usual behavior. If he managed the estate properly, at this time he would say, ‘It’s also the lord.’ It must have sounded once. It’s self-sufficient.”
“Ugh.”
Neryl snorted strangely and looked at the judgment seat.
There, Gray, with a face that had no more energy left, was looking up at the sky.
Neryl clicks his tongue.
“Isn’t that bastard going to die in prison?”
“Those people do not give up their lives so easily. Exactly in inverse proportion to taking the lives of others lightly, I regard my own life as gold.”
“……”
“don’t worry. It will last at least seven years.”
Neryl didn’t answer.
I continued.
“After 7 years, let’s deal with the Demon King and come back here with me.”
“……”
“I won’t dry it then. You can break into the prison and take that bastard off your own, but if it’s hard, I’ll help you.”
“I don’t understand. Why is it okay 7 years from now and not now?”
“Because you don’t have to commit atrocities anymore. Well, most of them must have been framed from the beginning.”
Neryl tilted her head and looked at me.
I crossed my arms and smiled.
“Now, you are becoming a party member of the hero who will save the continent. Did you think I would tolerate your cruelty more than this?”
“under. So… you’re saying don’t spit on my infamy on your shining path to becoming a hero?”
“Well. Exactly.”
before return.
At the inn’s table, Kayle said the same thing.
A story that can no longer be tolerated.
In retrospect, I am saying the same thing now.
Rather, Calde’s words at the time were much more serious than mine, and the atmosphere was warm.
But then, Neryl’s reaction was cold.
but now.
“Puha. Ahaha!”
We’re holding our boat and laughing.
Is it weird?
I think you said it a lot worse than Kayle, why do you like it so much?
Neryl laughed for a while, then wiped away her tears.
“You really have nothing to hide. you.”
“ok?”
“okay. It’s cool to talk so openly. okay. No more cruelty In the beginning, I was going to disappear as the last of the Gray children.”
She looked to Gray, who had reached the end of the trial.
Already it was hard to call it a trial any more.
It was because the gathered crowd was throwing stones, spitting, and shouting.
Originally, the lord would have to intervene, but he was silent as he thought he needed to get rid of the accumulated gas.
grasp.
Gray exclaimed with blood dripping from his forehead.
“Ugh. Jae, the judge. Someone just threw a stone at me.”
“Be quiet!”
“No, you have to dry it. I haven’t been convicted yet…”
“Confirms the guilt of Gray Farm.”
The judge stopped him and struck the hammer.
Gray sat blankly in his seat as if the sky had fallen.
“Uhhhh. uh huh let me live Now I will live a really good life. Please forgive me.”
“Shut up! You damn child.”
“It’s the devil. That guy is the second coming of the Demon King!”
“Burn them to death right now!”
“Give our daughter back!”
Gray’s mournful cry resounded in the midst of an indistinguishable up, down, left, and right.
Neryl crossed her arms and smiled contentedly.
“If I had just killed Gray, his other evil deeds would have been buried behind the surface. The victims of that bastard must have paid tribute to Gray as well.”
“Perhaps it was.”
“When I think about it, I get upset. It was good to hear from you.”
“……”
“Obviously this would have been the right answer. So that, um.”
Neryl scratched the cheek once and then turned slightly away from me.
“thank you.”
“OK.”
“It was a difficult conversation, but did you get an answer right away? Were you waiting?”
“ok. You’re not a great person to ignore the things you’re grateful for.”
“huh. You speak as if you have seen it for a long time.”
I just laughed.
Neryl said, furrowing his eyebrows, as if he was very dissatisfied with me.
“Are you really going to become a hero?”
“uh. By the way.”
“It won’t happen. The warriors who received the oracle are different in color. A mark of a warrior appears.”
Well. That’s it.
Before the return, I was suspicious and suspicious of Kyle, but that was the reason why I didn’t think until the end that he might not be a hero.
The hero who received the oracle has a mark of the warrior on his forehead.
said Neryl.
“First, you have to decorate the pattern.”
“I’ll have to find some good make-up artists. It will also be in the mercenary guild.”
“You can have that. It doesn’t matter if it’s ordinary people or a middle-aged nobleman, the higher you go, the more you’ll find out that it’s a fake.”
“……”
“I’ll make it for you. That proof.”
My eyes widened.
Neryl continues.
“With my magic, I can fool everyone. Well, the real hero will find out, but that’s up to you.”
“Neryl.”
“There’s a lot more to it than that. You must also be able to hold the sword of the warrior. You have to get approval from the spirits, and you have to overcome the trials of the heroes of the past, right?”
She continued, pretending to see a distant mountain.
“You won’t be able to do it all alone. I will help you.”
Moment.
Strangely, my heart was pounding.
I tried to think about why my heart was pounding.
But before that, the screen window came to mind.
<Tiring! You have earned 100 Fame Points.>
<Your name is ringing in Drucker’s estate. (All points have been collected!)>
<In the future, your name will be heard in the Quark Territory.>
<Required Reputation Points to the next level: 970/1,000>
<Total reputation points to be acquired in this case: 790>
<Neryl Slaine thinks of you as a ‘blind man’.>
uh
What is this.
‘What the heck, Mr. Trail.’
[You are confused. The tone became strange.]
‘Hmmm. sorry.’
[no. just do it Are you a man who keeps your eyes peeled? is this what i think Is that so?]
You’re talking weird too.
I changed the topic.
‘More than that, try to open a map.’
[That would be good.]
‘Now, slowly come back to the tone.’
Continental conduction appeared on the screen.
The light that shone faintly only in Drucker’s estate not long ago became much brighter.
Also, the light was rising from the Quark Territory.
Overall, the area where my reputation exerts influence has expanded.
I quietly looked at the map.
‘How about Caled?’
[Let’s see. Ummm… I’m not kidding.]
Last time, Caled’s fame, that is, the black energy, was about the extent of reaching the four realms.
However, within two weeks, the territory increased by one more.
Now it is influencing the five realms.
‘What’s his total fame?’
[It is still difficult to confirm with an exact number. So let’s level up quickly. If you raise the level, you will be able to check it.]
I guess so.
I looked at the black energy once more.
A realm is simply a realm, but I wonder if it has a fairly high reputation because of its high brightness.
‘Trail. The empire can be divided into a total of forty provinces.’
[Suddenly is it geography class?]
‘listen. In the center of the empire lies the long and horizontal Coscart Mountains. It is safe to say that they are dividing the empire.’
I flipped the map.
‘And coincidentally, it can be seen that there are only twenty estates divided by this mountain range.’
[Hmm.]
‘I’ll have to take the top spot first. you have to hurry Kyle is going too far.’
[great. So what are you going to do now?]
“What are you going to do now?”
Then, at the right time, Neryl asked.
I pretended to be worried and opened my mouth.
“I need to blow my name a little bit more.”
“I know that. I don’t know if that has anything to do with being a hero.”
“First of all, I plan to go down slowly while going around the northern area, is there any suitable job?”
“Well. I’m not a wandering mercenary like anyone else, so I don’t have any information.”
“it’s okay. In fact, it has already been decided.”
“……You have a very annoying personality, aren’t you?”
I ignored it and took the map out of my backpack.
It was a treasure I cherished until I met the trail, but compared to the map that appeared on the screen a while ago, it is embarrassingly crude.
[Now do you understand? my dignity.]
“ruler. This is where we are now.”
[excuse me?]
“Next time I will go here. Leor estate.”
[Hey.]
Neryl tilts her head and asks.
“What is here?”
“It’s nothing. till now.”
“Toune speaks as if reading the future.”
I shrugged lightly.
“If everyone wants to eat, do they have to have some sort of secret means? So would you.”
Neryl flinched and rolled her eyes at me.
“I thought it would be strange to see you reciting the evil deeds of the Viscount or Gray’s children… but do you have the ability to find out people’s secrets?”
[Yes. Those are the eyes of my omniscience!]
“It would be great if there was such a thing, but please understand it as insight based on long experience.”
[no. Listen to me.]
“It’s fine. But if you try to uncover my secrets, you will die.”
[Hey, I’m sorry, but please respond slowly.]
“Be careful. I’m still very young compared to you, and I don’t want to die already.”
[……]
“Respect Kim for speaking out.”
“All right. Madame.”
“…just let it go.”
“I will.”
We started to leave the Quark Territory, chatting so useless.
You can feel the heat of the trial heating up from behind.
As we were about to get the wagon and completely leave the estate, we suddenly heard a sob on the trail.
[Laughs.]
‘What. are you crying why?’
[Sorry. I will always be humble in the future.]
he’s a weird guy
After Maid and Neryl left for the estate of Rio, Viscount Frank had a visitor.
Viscount Frank, who usually likes to help out, could not raise his voice in front of the guests in front of him.
One of the two swords of the present empire.
It was because the deputy commander of the Knights Templar of Light visited.
If the al-Qahad units, the swords of other empires, symbolize purely physical military power, the Light Paladins were responsible for investigating and solving anomalies and events within the empire.
Their investigative powers represent the authority of the emperor.
The lord of one realm was an existence that could not be touched.
‘How much less the deputy chief there.’
Viscount Frank took a sip of his tea and looked at the vice-captain, Xenia Said.
The blonde woman, who seemed to have just passed her twenties, was evaluated as one of the best talents since the founding of the Knights of Light.
said Viscount Frank.
“It is true that there was a series of commotion in my estate, but I didn’t know that the Light Paladin would investigate it. It was only a few days ago, but how did you come and go so quickly?”
Despite his slightly sarcastic remarks, Xenia responded indifferently.
“Let’s say we have the best horses in the empire.”
“…Anyway, why did you come so quickly? I never thought that the last trial would have attracted so much attention from the capital.”
“no. I am not interested in that.”
“yes? Wasn’t it for the Gray Gnome’s investigation?”
“Who is Gray? No, don’t answer. Like I said, I’m not interested in that.”
The Viscount’s eyebrows twitched at her indifferent tone.
‘Young people are cocky. To give such a young man an agent of God or such a grand nickname. The Light Paladins are too exaggerated.’
If Maid had been here and noticed the Viscount’s such thoughts, he would have laughed while holding his belly button.
The woman in front of me, Xenia Said.
Before her return, Maid’s colleague and a member of the hero’s party were a heroic talent.
