Iron Blood Earl Riccianne

Chapter 9. Lika Ien's Umbrella (3)

For that reason, the soul that Lycaen brought back in the past was much more like Klaus.

A hundred years ago, Klaus was a legendary archipelago that made his name across the Empire and the Kingdom of Berath. The noble family that was defeated by him was 500. Even the Imperial Vault of the Gronis Empire has been robbed.

If you estimate what was stolen at the time, it is 10 million platinum and 1 billion argen in silver coins. Some say the stolen nobles didn't report the money or the stuff behind them, so it would be twice that.

In the past, Lycaen also succeeded in summoning Klaus. But Klaus doesn't give away his treasure easily. Klaus' words to Lycaen were a small clue.

‘Only he who cuts a refined sword into the Milky Way can gain everything from me. ’

Metaphorically describes where the treasure is. But at that time, Lycaen could not unravel its meaning. It was after the abnormality had already occurred in the body.

In other words, he restored Klaus' soul for someone who will succeed him in the future.

And now Lycaen has unlocked its meaning. He was fortunate to be able to interpret that meaning.

"The Milky Way... Could it be? ’

The moment I remembered the word "Milky Way," what I remembered was one of the few poems Zhang Yun Nam knew that didn't study very much in his previous life.

It was 200 pale Mangrove Falls. In that poem, 200 is a parable of the Milky Way with a foliage waterfall.

A sword trained in the Milky Way means there's something like a sword beneath the waterfall. That means something sharp is coming up underneath the waterfall.

The power of falling waterfalls is enormous. Underneath most waterfalls, there is a deep pool called the Bison because of its tremendous power. There was little that could withstand the power of such waterfalls.

Likayen, who thought so, began searching hard for the geography book. What I did while pretending to be sick and lying in bed was to search the geography.

And what he found was a waterfall in the painting he was looking at right now. It was a 200m tall Impetis waterfall on Mount Arene. Beneath the waterfall is a stone that rises sharply. It is said that the current of the waterfall splits to the left and to the right as it strikes this stone. And it was also a place where many nobles sought to see the spectacle.

Lycaen has searched many other geographies, but there are no locations other than Impetis Falls that match his criteria.

Tak.

Lycaen nods slowly, covering the book. Then I smiled.

‘Lycaon's a big boy, anyway. Anyway, I'll make good use of it. ’

You hear someone's voice outside the door with a knock.

“Feron, I've been summoned by the Prince. ”

“Come in.”

Lycaen says to Anna, as the Ferons come inside.

“I have something urgent to tell you, so I'd like you to leave for a moment. ”

Anna, who was relentlessly emitting a dark energy, gave her an equally lively gaze at the Feron.

Surprised by Feron, he lives intensely all around. But the Feron, who had never imagined that her life would come from Anna, just tilted his head.

Pretend!

As Anna takes a big step outside, Lycaen starts talking.

“This way to Mount Aren, I'll take you there. ”

“Yes? Me? ”

Feron looks surprised to see that Wolf hasn't said anything.

“Yes, I'll take you, Feron. You'll be the only one going without a wagon and no other knights, so you'd better be prepared. ”

“Ha, but why me……. Wouldn't Wolf be better? ”

“You're better at this. And the last fight helped you realize a lot. ”

“Huff! Well, how did you do that? ”

Feron once more looks surprised to see Lycaen. I never met him after I brought him potions that day. But how did he know that?

“I can see everything in my eyes. ”

“Ha, but only for a short time that day. After that, I couldn't save my senses again. ”

Feron doesn't do anything wrong, but he lowers his head in apology.

Lycaen said with a big smile.

“You did? ”

“That's right.”

“Hmm……. ”

But Lycaen knew it wasn't true. The stable gesture that I saw when I opened the visit and came inside was clearly different from the previous Feron. And the moment Anna looked at herself, she could even sense her eyes for a moment.

It was just that Feron didn't realize it himself.

“Well, I'll let you feel it again on the way. Anyway, I'll leave with you, so get ready. ”

“I understand.”

“Oh, it's going to be a tough road, so you'd better take it easy. ”

What do you mean, "tough"? ”

“Maybe I should take my life. ”

Feron has yet to learn the true purpose of his journey to Mount Aren. I only knew I was going to do something as an excuse for treatment. And you're risking your life.

This is also because Wolf did not speak to the Ferons. The fact that Lycaen hired men to spread rumors about Prince Leon.

Lycaen laughs and thinks.

‘Wolf, you're pissed off. ’

Chapter 10. Passing Wizard (1)

At night, a wagon stands still on the side of the road. And there's a campfire in the clearing next to the road, and two guys are sitting around the campfire. Lycaen and Feron leaving the territory and heading for Mt. Aren.

Lycaen looks up at the bright night sky as if a star was pouring down and asks in a quiet voice.

“Is today the fifth day? ”

The Feron stops his hand to put the dry tree in the campfire, looking up at the sky and measuring the date.

“Yes, today is the fifth night. ”

At that, Lycaen smiled and said with his gaze fixed in the sky.

“You better start getting nervous today. ”

Five days since Lycaen and Feron left their territory. If it had gone according to plan, Birch Leon would have heard from Lycaen two days ago. And if you think about it for a day or so to prepare, the attack will probably start today.

In the light of Leon's position, this was actually a good opportunity. The fact that Lycaen's body might be healthy is dangerous, but on the one hand, it's out of territory, so there are many opportunities to eliminate him.

Lycaen says that the Feron's expression changes sharply. It's because I've heard what this means and what will happen in the future.

“Ooh, can we stop it? ”

“It's not us, it's you. ”

“Yes, yes? ”

Feron asked with a puzzled look because he didn't understand the meaning. I told you to stop the attack by Leon alone. But Riccianne no longer explained.

“Think about why. ”

“Oh, I see. ”

Along with the answer, Feron began to think hard with a serious expression.

Feron pondered for a long time without even realizing his face was glowing red with the heat of the campfire, saying with a cautious tone.

“Confucius, is today……. No, maybe not today, but at first, only a few assassins will come. ”

“Why?”

“It is now known that the Confucius is ill on the outside. And I'm the only one to escort him. I think it's more likely that Prince Leon would hire assassins rather than attack them himself……. ”

Peron continues to examine Ricaien's expression as he speaks. Proof that you are not confident whether you are speaking correctly or not. Nevertheless, Lycaen hears nothing but silence and silence.

“… After all, there won't be much to deal with the disadvantaged Confucius and a knight, so I'm guessing a few will come to settle things quietly and simply. ”

“That's your conclusion? ”

On account of Ricaien's expressionlessness, Feron gives an embarrassing look.

Aigoo, isn't this it? ’

Likewise, Liquenne continued to ask another question.

“Yes, what about the first attack, and then what? ”

“If you stop the first attack, your enemies will be alert from now on. And you might also notice that there's something strange about it. ”

“What's weird? ”

“Y-you 're sick, so the wagon can't move fast. But our position now has come too far, in my opinion. ”

Lycaen made every effort to get out of his territory. I swapped wagons with the Ferons from time to time, and the horses ran out and were about to collapse.

The reason I decided to go up to Mount Aren for a month is to travel the wagon with a sick body, so the speed at which I took into account that. And where I am now was half the time. Simply calculating it means that it ran at three times the speed.

Lycaen nods and asks.

“What do you do when you feel strange? ”

“Oh, there's going to be a lot of assassins, or better assassins. ”

“Then how do we stop them? ”

“Hmmm, that, that……. ”

The Feron lowers his head, unable to finish the words hovering from his mouth. When she saw him, she smiled once and pushed herself into her sleeping bag.

“I sleep. ”

“Yes?! ”

Feron cries out in horror. The assassins might come and go to sleep. But Lycaen asked again, what are you so surprised about?
