Hakai no Miko

Chapter 97: Chaos

"Listen, Soma, just because I'm not here, don't make a living without me."

Shemul said that with a dangerous expression in front of the pale horse.

It was the day when Zoan's warriors, who had finally finished forming their armies, marched to the Sorbian Plains to defend the reclaimed village.Even if not grandiose from the purpose of quelling domestic disturbances, the battle ceremony that was carried out to ease the anxiety of the people was also fulfilled. Finally, together with Garamu and the others, it was time for Shemul to call the King's capital.Shemul began to preach slowly when he caught the pale horse that had come to see him off.

"Just because I'm not here, you can't stay up late.You still have work to do, and you're sitting on your desk.If the sun goes down, go to bed immediately.And I can't eat snacks before going to bed.It's bad for your health. Yeah, make sure Eladia checks on you when you wake up.You'll be fine walking around with your bedtime habits on. And- "

"It's all right, Siemul."

Shemul's fangs peeled as the pale horse could not help but block his words.

"It's not okay, I'm telling you! Basically, you 're--"

It was a snake.

Shemul usually began to bounce around with a detailed example of how corrupt the pale horse was.

The pale horse could not even refute the point made by Namaji Shemul.It was Garam who stopped Seymour in place of such a pale horse.

"Leave that alone, [noble fangs]."Are you His Majesty's loud mother or something? "

"I don't remember having such a big child!"Besides, I'm a maiden in the first place! "

Shemul changed the tip of his spear from a pale horse to a galamsey and bit it.

But it's a long relationship with my real siblings.Garam slashed back.

"Then leave me alone for a moment."A child wolf can never stand on its own when it is fed by a parent wolf for ever.Or are you so incredible under your umbilical cord? "

Unable to find a word to return, Siemul groaned in remorse.

With such a sister in her butt, Garam said to the pale horse.

"[Noble Fangs] is a silly thing to say, but that's what I think of His Majesty."I hope you don't hate it too much. "

"There's nothing to hate about it."

Azure horses smile at Garam's worries.

"Shemul is right, first of all, she's my half-body."

In response to the words of the pale horse, Siemur was in a good mood.

"Hmm. I've said too much to worry about you under my umbilical cord."It's not like you don't believe in Soma. "

Behind them, Zug turned to his "mild", but without even noticing, Siemur was gladly moving his nose small and twitching, but his face immediately became cloudy.

"But I'm still worried." While I'm gone, I don't regret what happened to you.Besides, I have your security and my right pen job. "

Until recently, it was Siem Reap who was eager to make sure that the deputy under the umbilical cord would look good, but as it got closer, it seemed to be getting more and more uneasy.

"The [Fierce Fang] is a general."If I don't go with Soma, I'll leave it to him.After all, shouldn't I go? "

"That's why I can't do that."

Siemul's worries burst into laughter.

"I'm not worried. I'm not going anywhere.Besides, if I stayed in the royal palace of the capital, I wouldn't be in danger.Rather, it is Siemul who may be fighting the [Clan of Tails]. "

"That's right..."

Garam pushes Siemul's back without boiling.

"[Noble Fangs]. You can show your majesty's power as a half-bodied man and quickly quell the chaos in the plains."If you do that, you'll be able to come back sooner than you're doing it here. "

"Hmm. I know that.I know, but.... "

Still, for a while, it was Siem Reap, but she suddenly slapped her cheeks loudly.

"Alright! I'll go to the plains instead of Soma, solve the problem and hurry back!"That's it! "

"That's why I've been saying that to Shemul, who is renewing his determination," Garam, with a dazed face, said, "Well, well."

"I'm begging you, Siemul." I'm waiting for the good news in the capital. "

"Oh! Leave it to me!" --Come on, let's hurry up. [Fierce Fangs]! "

Where did you go when you were screaming?Shemul pulls Garam to the plains.As for Garam, he was silently pulled back by Shemul, who had lost his mind to say anything.

Soon, Zoan's warriors, led by both of us, will march together.The pale horses continued to see off the smoky soot and the earthquake-like sounds of Zoan marching.

Your Majesty, it's time to return to the Royal Palace.

When the Zoans were no longer visible at the end of the horizon, Eladia, standing behind, called out to the pale horses.

"That's right. Let's go back..."

Then the pale horse returns its heel.

At that time, a gust of wind blew through the back of the pale horse.

It is time for summer soon.

However, the wind that could not reach the pale horse because the person there was shielded from the wind felt very cold for some reason.

◆◇◆◇◆

A man sits on a small hill as Zoan's army begins to move to the plains.

It is a boy with a child's face like a boy's.He was sitting in a wheelchair, his eyes sharp as threads, watching Zoan and the pale horses as they headed to the plain.

Behind it, a voice calls out to the man.

Tutu-sama, we're ready to leave.

The boy-faced man-Tutu looked over his shoulder with his sleeves slightly shaken, and there was Damia, a red-haired warrior woman who was a squire and guard.

All right, let's hurry to the plains.

Damia reports as she pushes Tutu's wheelchair down the hill.

“Several Baljibor letters of comfort have been confirmed near the city of Bornis.With that, the movement of the "root" is becoming rushed. "

Tutu often turns a blind eye to his ideas.

After all, is King Cesar's aim the King?Do you have another target?No. Isn't that the real goal?

The more I think about it, the more I think about Tutu.

Tutu leaks a sigh and stops guessing.

"It's no use thinking about too little information."In any case, I was sure that [Root] was trying to plot something against the King.Let's hurry our people. "

Tutu, who ordered Damia to hurry, turned his face only to the north while sitting in a moving wheelchair.

All I could see was the horizon and the mountains beyond.

But there, Tutu thinks of a man.

"Viper. What the hell are you after...?"

◆◇◆◇◆

Huh. Did you send a trusted lieutenant to the plains on your behalf......

King Cesar, who was listening to the report read out by Delilah, the maid dressed as "Root", rushed alone.

It is the private room of King Cesar at the back of the royal palace of the Baljibo kingdom.

In a private room stacked with painting materials, King Cesar was listening with one hand to the glass cup containing the wine. This was the content that informed the formation of the Eldoret Army that had left for the Sorbian Plains on that day.

Among them, King Cesar, who recognized the name of Shemul, who led the army as the name of the pale horse, starts to laugh.

"I suppose so." I suppose so.It will be! "

Then King Cesar opened his mouth wide and laughed.

"Son of Destruction." Even though I couldn't get to it, I could still feel someone behind the chain of events that struck the country of El Door.Only then will you be able to leave the king's city.I can't leave the King's City for fear of being set up again when I'm absent.

However, the Sorbian Plain is where you first established your forces and is now the foundation of the nation of El Door.What are you going to do if you don't fix this mess soon?Now, what do we do? "

King Cesar spoke with excitement and joy.

"Yes! As the Son of the Beast God, I am a trump card with a stronger influence on Zoan than you!"You have no choice but to send your own half-body king! "

King Cesar lifted both ends of his lips and smiled like a reptile.

"And you've turned your last defense away from yourself!"

Once again, King Cesar laughed loudly.

"Romanian female wolves ravaging the east of the country.An exiled fool who rebels in the North.And the beasts that defy us in the West.The country of El Door, which must cope with these disturbances, is exactly like being held down with limbs and torso. "

King Cesar held a glass liquor cup high in his hand.

I wonder if my limbs and torso can be held down and my blade can be folded together. Son of Destruction, right?

The red wine poured into a clear glass liquor chamber was sunny and shining red as if it were fresh blood.

◆◇◆◇◆

There's a man here.

The man's name is not yet revealed.

However, for the inconvenience, I will call this man as follows.

The Avenger.

This man is called an avenger because what he is trying to do is avenge.

No, more accurately, we should say that we are trying to assume that it is revenge.He himself knows from within that what he is trying to do is merely perfection.

Still, he was trying to assume his actions were revenge.

Because if you don't, you have to face the reality that you are too ugly and miserable.

So the avenger was drunk on the vengeance of brewing his own fiction and dared to act away from reality.

Right now, this avenger is downtown Holmenia, the kingdom of Erdoğan.

The time was dusk.

It's time for the daily workers and craftsmen from the artisan town to grab a small daily allowance of copper and head out to the tavern where their favorite women are.

Therefore, the downtown area was full of people everywhere, and there was a strong call from the stores that were trying to bring in such people.

The avenger who walked relentlessly through the crowds of downtown suddenly turned his eyes to a tavern.

"...... this is the store you were told about."

The ally, the avenger, thinks so one way or another, says the target has been here a lot, and has visited the store again today.

Then, when I looked around the store where I had stepped in, I immediately noticed that the person in question was drinking alcohol on the table.

The Avenger moves his legs as he tries to get there.

But the avenger hesitated.

It is not from the reproach of conscience.

It was an irresistible humiliation to be seen as a fallen self by those who once knew themselves.

But if I had turned back here, I would have never had a child.What you've done so far isn't all in vain.If you don't do that, you'll be limited by the allies who support you.If that happens, there will only be a miserable life like begging or picking up scraps like before.

If you want to go back to living like that, you'd be better off doing something bigger and scattering it.

The Avenger who decided to do so calls out to the target.

"Hey, can I have a seat?"

◆◇◆◇◆

"Oh, ma'am!" I'll ask for the usual! "

After finishing his service at the Royal Palace, the man who entered the tavern sat down at the empty table and raised his voice.

At first, she was the admiral who looked at us with a rough expression, but when she noticed the Guardian's emblem on the man's chest, she was disfigured.

"Was he a guardsman?"- Yeah, it's the usual. "

A better-paid Guardian than any other soldier, the man is also better paid, and has never been a guest before.

The man who suddenly realized that the lady admiral, who had become more affectionate, had not noticed him immediately, moaned exaggeratedly.

"Come on, just remember me."

I knew it was a joke, so the Lady General returned it with a bitter smile.

"Because you're a customer, you're good at remembering faces."But please don't do this to me. "

The man replied with a laugh, "That's right."

Shortly after the Lady General entered the cooking area, a wooden jock poured with ale on the men's table and a large steaming fish dish were carried.

The man clenched his tongue, shook a whole vanilla and rock salt, and grabbed the head and tail of the baked fish.The delicious flavor of the herbs, the irritation of the rock salt, and the deliciousness and fat of the fish that bites the more you chew it, spread throughout your mouth.

Then the man grabbed the jock and grabbed the brew at once.The fat of the fish that can be felt persistently is washed away, and the bitterness of the ale enhances the deliciousness of the fish that is slightly left in the mouth.

It's good.

The man thought so from the bottom of his heart.

When you are eating good wine and food like this, the emotion that comes to mind is that your life has changed a lot.

Until just a few decades ago, we had no choice but to survive in small villages, worrying about tomorrow's meals.

But how about now? This is an environment where you can eat good liquor and food as you like, or you can't even think about it from a long time ago because it is called a guardsman and it is placed at a glance from the surroundings.

After thinking that far, the man suddenly smiled bitterly.

It wasn't that he bought a sword arm, let alone a very noble bloodline, that allowed him to become a Guardian.It just happened that I was more talented in language than others.

Previously, you'd have said that even if you knew you had such talent, no one around you, including yourself, would be of any use.

But not in this country of El Door.

Naturally, a wide variety of races can be found in the vicinity of Aohora, the king of Erdoğan, who stands for a mixed nation.In it, being familiar with the languages of a wide variety of races is a great power.That's why a man who was only a warrior of all abundance was disproportionately abducted by the Guard.

There is no doubt that the man was exorcised after being evaluated other than his skill as a warrior.

But it was given a big role.In addition, in response to the recent rebellions in various places, our people have been uprooted.The man told himself that he had to work hard at a time like this.

"Hey, can I have a seat?"

Suddenly there was a voice coming from behind.

This bar is a mass pub used by ordinary people and travelers alike.It's only natural that if the shop gets crowded, you can ask for a seat.

However, if you look around quickly, there were still empty seats in the store.

I enjoy drinking slowly by myself.The man looks back, thinking that he won't have to sit down because there are vacant seats.

And the man opened his eyes in amazement.

The avenger was the first man to look back.

The words of refusal that the man was about to utter in that figure turned into exhalations that did not make sense, and after that they were not words.

Hey, it's been a while.

The avenger shouted in relief at the man who lost his words.And the man finally returns to me.

Oh, you! ─ ─

The man said a name.

And the Avenger nods like that.

"You! Why? Why, why?" Where is it? "

The avenger calms down with a gesture to the man who lists the confusing and disruptive words.

Anyway, can I have a seat?

"Ah! Ah. That's good. Sit down!"

The avenger sits in the chair in front of him, and the man tells him to eat it.

"Where have you been since you jumped out of the village?! What have you been doing?"I thought you were dripping and dying somewhere! "

"Well, it's a boring story, but will you listen to me?"

While drinking and eating for a while, the man listened to the avenger.

The Avenger only deserved it when he jumped out of the village.Still, the avenger's tough story was one of compassion.

"With a body like this, you can't even carry the load satisfactorily.Now it seems like you're trying to eat it by imitating someone else's begging.- Well, smile. "

With that said, the man keeps rinsing his nose and then says tears to the avenger who strokes his right shoulder with his left hand.

"You idiot. You and I are close in blood and we grew up together as brothers."Is that funny about your situation? "

"I'd be glad to hear that."Actually, I came to see you today because I wanted to ask you a favor. "

The man who was deeply sympathetic to the Avenger asked him to "tell me anything I can."

Will you take me to His Majesty?

Unexpectedly, however, the man's nose blew.

Azure horses are so unpretentious and easy-going that they are unlikely to be the kings of great nations, and men are also cheerfully called out to them.However, even in a position of being just a guardsman, I can't ask you to pick people up.

The avenger knew how confused such a man was.

"I know you're impossible.But I don't think I'm going to make it back.I did something like that.I'm sure others won't forgive me.But if the greatest Soma tells me to forgive me, the others will accept it, won't they? ”

So the avenger bowed his head.

"Please! You're the only one I can rely on anymore!!"

The pitiful plea of a former friend shook the man's heart.And the Avenger chases after them.

"I'm not asking you to pick me up all of a sudden."All I have to do is reflect deeply and tell them I want to go back.If you forgive me, I can go back to everyone.That's all I need. "

It is a well-known fact that Azure horses are fond enough to have a "big" on their head.Even if such a pale horse had some problems in the past, if he knew that the opponent was in need, he would be forgiven.

The man who knew it tends to say, "If that's all."

And more than that, the opponent who used to hold the head of his generation of young people in the past, was so obsessed with his appearance that he was tickled by his self-esteem.

"Alright! Alright. If that's what you're looking for, why don't you take a look at the plane and tell Soma about it?"

The man slapped himself in the chest and undertook.

The Avenger smiles with a smile on his face.

"Really?! Thank God!" I'm really grateful! "

Then the Avenger bowed his head deeper to the man again.

However, there was a dim smile on the shadowy face of the Avenger.

The poisonous snake's fangs were approaching the pale horse without Seymour.

◆◇◆◇◆

King César was trying to paint a picture of a grand scheme in the western part of the Serdeas continent.

However, at this time, unexpected colors that were not on the palette (palette) in his hand entered into the canvas.

It came with a ship that landed in the ocean trading city of Jeboa.

The ship is one of the westernmost trading ships in the western part of the Serdeas continent, connecting Shpamur and Jeboa.An unusual group disembarked from this trading ship.

Originally, the white thing was burned on the sun, and a hooded coat with a yellowish flavor was worn from the head, and a rough pencil coat was tied with a rough rope at the waist, and it was said that it was the sacred seal of the church that was lifted from the neck.

It was pilgrims of the Episcopal Western Church.

The Western Church, like the Central Church, makes the land of the end of the saints Innocent a holy place.However, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is difficult to make a pilgrimage to the center of the far continent.Therefore, the itinerary of the founder from the central church flowed from the center to Shpamur as a sacred road, and he made it a pilgrimage to the passage in the same disguise as that of that time.

However, this group of pilgrims boarded the carriage that was waiting for them in the port.If it is a pilgrimage imitated by the founder, it must be done on foot except by sea.Moreover, the carriage went not to the church of the Episcopal Church, but to the mansion of Mordecai, one of the ten members of the merchant guild of Jeboa.

Then, a group of pilgrims who entered through the back door of Mordecai's mansion in an eye-catching manner passed through the guest room to welcome the nobility near the deepest part of the mansion.

"Oh! I'm so glad you're okay!"

A group of pilgrims were greeted by Mordecai, a good middle-aged man with a turban around his head.Mordecai is also a follower of the Ecclesiastical Western Church, which makes a fortune mainly by trading with Shpamur.Therefore, it is usual to give alms to pilgrims regardless of their nobility, but it was impossible for them to welcome themselves in the VIP room in this way.

But when a woman came out of the group of pilgrims, Mordecai kneeled before her.

Then, the pilgrim woman also raised her right hand with a very natural technique.

"Bathing in the glory of worship, I am extremely frightened."

When Mordecai pushes his right hand, which is offered on his knees, he first lightly kisses the back of his hand, and then pushes his forehead against it.

It was a tribute to the ecclesiastical clergy.

"May the blessing of the human God be upon you."

When I cut the holy seal of the human god on the kneeling mordecai with my fingers, my long silver hair spilled out of the hood of the female pilgrim who bent forward.

Mordecai said, moistening his eyes with joy.

"We are fully prepared for your request.You can always leave for Holmenia, the kingdom of Erdoğan. ”

The woman takes her hand and raises Mordecai.

Mordecai-sama, I apologize for the inconvenience, but thank you very much.

Then Mordecai frowned anxiously.

"I'm afraid I can say that."Certainly, the Eldorian state has not even suppressed the central church, which is a stubborn advocate of subhuman exclusion.But the king of his kingdom, Soma, is an avowed ecclesiastical dislike.What evil will befall you when you come to such a place?Would you mind staying? "

The woman smiled softly to dispel Mordecai's anxiety.

"Then that's it."

I never made a louder voice.

Even so, the woman's voice gave everyone an undeniable strong sense of will.

"If hardships are waiting for you, then that's it."That is the will of God!It's God's love! ”

Mordecai, who was struck by the majesty of the woman, was ashamed of his unknownness and knelt down before the woman again.

"Oh! It was my mistake."Everything will be done as you wish. "

And Mordecai speaks the name of the woman in front of him.

Monsignor Parfena

The Son of the Human God, bishop of the highest ecclesiastical church in the West.

The Holy Maiden, Parfena, was smiling vividly.

◆◇◆◇◆

Therefore, the poisonous snake and the saintly maiden moved around the son of destruction and the king.

The western part of the Serdeas continent was just beginning to look like chaos.
