Hero without Blood or Tear

“A golden rule.”

I took a look at the documents that the priest gave me. The golden seal is clear. I swallowed it without even knowing it.

“... the original. ”

The pledge was enough, so I asked you to listen to the details.

“Very well. Merge. ”

Friedrich's eldest son has fallen under the curse of darkness after preparing Pfalz. Crawling death, a dark organization, threatens Friedrich with it.

“Pre-elect Pfalz and the king secretly asked us for help. But even after Premiere Mainz couldn't find a way to break the curse completely. ”

I was the archbishop of the Kumar Banquet, but I thought it might not be possible if I hadn't seen Chilma Temple. The evil curse directly related to the great army of darkness requires knowledge of the Seven Horses Temple.

“Later, His Majesty noticed that the High Priestess had broken the curse of the Abbot of the Valpur convent. ”

“I didn't tell you this outside, but you figured it out. ”

I said he just laughed. I don't want to dig up how I found out, either.

“So, do you want to lift the curse? ”

“That's right, and you may also be in conflict with a malignant organization while doing this. He is not only knowledgeable about the Darkness, but also about his power. He is no better qualified as a merger. ”

It's not a bad thing that my objectives are in line with Pre-Election Minds.

“I can't help but notice the dark forces reaching out to the noble priests of the empire. ”

Especially after Pfalz, Friedrich is an important card against the Emperor.

“That's very noble of you. Merge.”

I was able to cooperate because I had the right interests. I worked with him to coordinate terms and conditions. If Premienz and Premiere help me get to the top in the future, I'll get 10 million horses.

They needed my strength, too. Thanks to you, the discussion went smoothly.

“Together, now that we're together, let me formally introduce myself. It's called Mantova, Bishop of the Divine Light. I will help you with the Church's brothers to solve this problem. ”

“Thank you, Bishop Mantova. ”

I heard that there are more than 20 priests and churchmen here. It'll be a work in progress.

“I'll go see Friedrich after I prep Pfalz. We'll talk to him and then we'll set a course. ”

“I heard King Friedrich is avoiding a meeting with the Joint Chiefs. ”

“Don't worry. We can go and see him. ”

It would be foolish of me to wait until I don't see you. I've already got Friedrich's men on board.

He said he was going out to the hunting grounds, but in fact, he was traveling back and forth from a villa in the suburbs. You placed a soldier in a heavily guarded area and hid your cursed son.

My son said he couldn't leave it in Heidelberg because it was so horrible. Rumors can be frightening even after preliminary treatment. So he's out of town every day to see his son.

“We're waiting for him. We can impersonate a coincidence and contact him. ”

I nodded in Dyon's report.

“You and the moonlighter follow me. Bishop Mantova's coming with us. ”

“Very well. Merge. ”

The four of us headed into the woods, the pre-emptive estate. This is a restricted area, but there's no reason for anyone to be insulted by me. What if I just get lost on the way back and forth? You're not going to war with me.

“There he is. ”

I've been hiding and waiting for a long time, and Dalon points at me. I saw Friedrich after Pfalz was escorted through the woods.

I was riding a kiln, not a horse, but it seemed to be due to the rumors that the ventilation was getting worse. I used to fix it, but I guess my son stressed me out.

“Let's get out of here.”

First I drove the horse forward. Friedrich's escorts respond as soon as they encounter him in the woods.

“Who are you?”

Everyone takes their hands on a sword or a pistol. I smiled at them like that.

“The Duke of Wittenbier-Basel. Don't get me wrong, I'm staying as a guest of His Majesty's after pre-election. Your Majesty! We ran into each other by accident! Greetings!”

A man like a raccoon on a kiln becomes a ruined face.

“Good morning. Duke. But what brings you here? This is the property of the overlord. ”

“Don't get me wrong. I just wandered into the woods because it was beautiful. I went to Heidelberg for a job.My schedule is not working at all. ”

Friedrich shuts his mouth on a horse with bones. You have nothing to say since you don't keep giving me excuses.

“Your Majesty, it's a coincidence that we met. Would you like to walk together for a moment in the forest air? ”

“You're determined. Huh, even Bishop Mantova? ”

The Mantovan bishop in the back lowers his head, smiling mercifully.

“Your Majesty, it will only take a moment. ”

Friedrich, on my offer, was alone, twisting his beard, thinking, and finally came down from the kiln.

“I'm going to take a walk. Step back and follow me.”

We bite the group and walk side-by-side through the forest.

“Let me hear your story. ”

“Thank you."

I decided to go straight out because I didn't have time.

“I know you have a problem with your son. ”

“... Have you figured it out already? That's unusual. ”

Friedrich's a big deal. It seems to pause for a moment, but it walks with a calm attitude. But in the end, I stopped.

“I can fix it. Do not yield to enemy threats. ”

“…… What? ”

I explained that I had special powers and knowledge. In the past, Balfur brought up work at the convent.

“You're not joking with the overachiever, are you? ”

“Is that possible? My predecessor, His Holiness, looks forward to it. Your Majesty, please do not bow to the enemy. Mainz and I will help with the power. ”

“Hmmm... ”

He seemed troubled. So I mentioned something that might provoke him.

“Actually, the emperor is involved in this. ”

“Really!”

“Yes, cursing your son is a cancer called crawling death. The emperor is working with the organization. ”

“No, how could the emperor! ”

“You know he doesn't let anyone challenge his power. You may know that I've had a disagreement with the Emperor recently. ”

Friedrich nods quietly.

“Am I being unreasonable? No, I was just annoyed by him. ”

“If I do, it's because of you, isn't it? This is how the emperor restrains you from trying to hold hands with me. ”

“If you truly believe that, I am disappointed in you. I just want to get back to the territory. ”

“ ……. ”

I silently explained to him the current political situation.

“The emperor's current authority is shaking. ”

“You can't have lungs like that. ”

“Probably not yet. But, Your Majesty, it is the emperor who needs more money than anyone. But the office collapsed. What would he do now? ”

“More tax collectors. ”

I nodded.

“We'll probably have to raise taxes in Bohemia. ”

The emperor has the crown of Bohemia. He is the emperor of the empire and the king of Bohemia.

“Of course they'll fight back in Bohemia. Besides, the emperor is opposed to the strong relationship between humans and the Horses in the Bohemian region. ”

“Yes. I thought such harmony was induced by the Emperor. But getting too close makes me uncomfortable when I'm out of control. ”

As Friedrich said, the union of the humans and the Mages in the Bohemian region is the work of the Emperor. However, Bohemia was increasingly out of control of its king, the emperor, when it became financially successful.

As Emperor, of course you will be outraged. There is no reason to fear the Demon King of Pleasant, one of Bohemia's wealthy lords. No matter when there is a quarrel, it is not strange.

“Your Majesty, think about it. The relationship between the Emperor and Bohemia is not straightforward. What happens if you get symptoms at this point? ”

“Has the Crown of Bohemia changed? ”

“Yes. And who would use that crown?" ”

“I don't know about that. ”

“No, you know. In Bohemia, if you invite a new monarch, who will you choose? ”

It will be one of the pre- and post-preliminaries anyway. Among them, Mintz, Trier and Cologne are automatically pulled out.

In other words, Palz, Bavaria, Sachsen and Brandenburg are among the four.

“Your Grace, Bavaria was recently devastated. Of course you can't get in here. ”

“Sachsen is in civil war, so he can't look away. ”

“You're clever. Brandenburg was never a candidate. ”

Your predecessor is semi-magic, and Bohemian with a combination of humans and horses is supreme.

“All that's left is Pfalz, then Frederick. ”

“Are you saying the emperor is looking at it and restraining the overlord? ”

“And then there's the other guy. Your Grace, if you were to gain my support as a leading candidate in this situation, how would it go? Of course, the Emperor would be afraid. ”

Friedrich was deeply thought through. I hastened his decision.

“The emperor will not stop until his two wings are broken. ”

“Hmm…. “

He walks silently for a while and opens his mouth.

“Get me Bishop Mantova. I need to talk to him alone. ”

“I'd be happy to. ”

* * *

We talked for hours at Friedrich's villa in the suburbs. He announced the Dark Ages' information and how to break the curse, and finally he decided.

“I've decided. Together. ”

“Thank you, Your Grace. ”

Friedrich has proposed a triangular alliance that includes himself and myself, Duke Wittenbier-Basel, after preliminary Mainz.

“Your Majesty, I appreciate the offer. The Duke of Wittenbier-Basel. I will always stand by your side. ”

Until, of course, you push it down. Until then, I will be a loyal ally of Friedrich.

“First, unravel the curse. I want to see your son right away. ”

“Brace yourself. He's already a human being. ”

The situation seems more serious than I thought. Friedrich leads us to the basement, which is blocked by a heavy iron gate.

The three sides of Inspector Mantova, Daltagnan, Deon, and Friedrich went inside together. The stairs leading to the basement are endlessly long.

“… The dark air. ”

Pope Mantova used to draw the sign. Darkness was getting darker as I descended. And when I arrived at my destination, there was a large enchanted room.

In the middle of the room, there was a terrifying creature that could not be called a living creature in the world. It was like a lump of slime and tentacles.

“Phew.”

Frederick sighs for a long time.

“It's hard to believe, but that lump of flesh is the son of the Guan. I took him down with a sorcerer, but I don't know what to do. ”

He seems to be unaware of the fear of that strange creature. I had already changed my face.

“Your Majesty, step back. ”

“Hmm? Don't worry too much. The archaeologists made this magic circle. I couldn't heal my son, but I locked him up safely.... ”

I reached out and stopped Friedrich. It was already a serious face for Bishop Mantova. He grips his teeth and warns.

“It's coming! It must have been waiting for us from the beginning! ”

I wonder if he expected all this in the first place. That would give me goose bumps.

Gu Woong!

Suddenly, the basement begins to shake like a collapse.

“Early spring light that drives out the darkness.... ”

Bishop Mantova hurriedly chanted the incantation of the Divine Mark of Light.

“Everyone, come with me! If I encounter any part of myself, I will go mad and die! We must escape from here under the guidance of light! ”

He was right. What was coming now was the dust of a great being, but that alone was enough to bring down human reason.

“Merge!”

Bishop Mantova cries out in fear that I am not alone in his protection. Everyone's already running up the stairs.

“Come here! ”

“Hurry! Hurry! ”

Everyone screams in panic. He clearly knew that he didn't understand the situation properly but had to run away. But I moved forward shaking my head.

Guwoong.

The vibrations in the basement gradually intensified. The sparks bounce around the magic faction and the smoke is about to break.

Wriggle!

At that moment, a lot of eyes appeared from the tentacles, and they started staring at me all at once. And in the slime-like flesh, several horrible mouths like an angler grew up.

“Khh... ”

I couldn't breathe because the pressure was getting worse. But I calmly stepped forward and stood in front of him.

“Come, struggling death. ”

It was unexpected, but I finally came across a part of death that struggled.
