Iron Blood Earl Riccianne

Chapter 7. Night's Vesper (2)

Finally, a long sigh came out of Elisha's mouth. In the Knights of the Twilight, her main job is to deal with people. It is to meet people in the capacity of the infiltrator and draw a conclusion in the favour of the emperor. Most meetings, of course, happen secretly in the middle of the night.

However, there was no answer at all for this man. Stubbornness is unusual.

Who the hell are you? ’

If the Knights of the Twilight work for two months and move secretly enough to meet each other, it means they have that much power. Moreover, he has tremendous power himself.

The situation was absolutely disadvantageous to Elisha. I didn't have any favorable cards, so nothing I said worked.

‘The reaction is that he doesn't want to reveal his identity.... ’

If I could just figure it out, I still felt like I could unfold the story a little more favorably. Otherwise, we must continue to be drawn like this.

There was a glimmer in Elisha's eyes.

"Dye"?

The hair was definitely brown, but the roots looked white. Time after dyeing, the original hair was revealed as the hair grew.

‘I'm sure you dyed your hair... Is it your original hair...? ’

Elisha narrows her eyes and examines Lycaen's head.

‘Silver hair... That face... ’

Silver hair, not brown hair. A sculpture-like handsome face with cold shining silver hair and red eyes.

‘If you've ever heard of such a peculiar look... Who the hell are you? ’

The Gross Empire was the absolute strongman on the continent of Berath. and wanted to maintain that position in the future. To do so, it was natural to have a good understanding of the politics of the surrounding kingdom and its key figures.

Then suddenly something flashed and touched my brain.

"A clever brain, a swordsmanship and a son of a fallen family, but with enough skill to make a name for himself! ’

Personal details of someone I once heard of.

‘It must be the Eastern Brent Kingdom... Ah! ’

A smile comes to Elisha's face. He said with a smile mixed with a distinctive nose sound as if he had found relaxation.

“Hmmm! Then shall I go to Count Frost myself? Earl Frocus?"

“Suck!”

Lycaen's face hardens in an instant.

"The Knights of the Twilight are amazing! ’

Elisha smiles with a penitent smile as she looks at Ricaien.

“We're not doing anything special. All you have to do is get your hands on it. And it's not just asking for it. I'll pay the right price. ”

“I think it's quicker to just get rid of all this stuff. It's only natural for me to make a deal in my own backyard when I reveal my identity. I don't like it. ”

“You're frustrating. I have to... ”

It was then.

“Shhhhh!”

A loud scream echoes through the air. Outside the window, it was exactly the sound coming from the garden. Lycaen turns his cheeky head, and Elisha relaxes.

“Don't worry about it. The Auction House guys must have come for me... Their power won't even get in here. ”

A secret auction house can only be operated properly if the ‘secret’ is properly maintained. And one of the biggest secrets is the hidden entrance to the auction house. There is only one entrance that is open to customers. One per person. I didn't have to know about the other entrance.

However, knowing about the other entrance means that they may know other secrets as well. And if there is such a risk, it is natural to eliminate it.

Elisha was aware of that habit, so she was also foreseeing the current situation. But I didn't worry too much. The building was guarded by knights from the Knights of the Twilight.

No matter how strong the organization that runs the secret auction house is, they can't get through here. Elisha herself doesn't know how to use a sword, but all the other knights guarding this place are top notch in the Empire.

Then Lycaen stood up.

“What's the matter? No need to worry so much……. ”

But Elisha never finished her sentence. It's because Lycaen suddenly flew out of a window.

“Now, hold on! ”

But Lycaen was already standing on the bottom of the garden. I turned my gaze toward the sound and saw the knights of the Twilight Knights hiding in the garden rushing in against the masks.

Lycaen leaps into place in an instant. Cold talk aiming for the neck at the same time.

The moment Lycaen slits his torso, the dagger that came at his neck loses its target and howls. And Lycaen's hand moved.

Ugh!

“Shhhhh!”

You hear a bone twist, and a masked man gives you a strangely twisted arm and bursts into screams. But I couldn't do anything. Lycaen's fist, which he dug into his arms, was raising the mask's jaw.

Enemies!

“Hic!”

With a very simple sound, the mask's body collapses. And Lycaen plunged back into the ground.

The knights were great. It was an aptitude for the name of the Secret Guard of the Gronis Emperor.

Three masks race against one knight, wielding a meter.

Grab it, grab it, grab it!

However, the knight with the Longsword did not panic in the slightest and prevented the masks from attacking.

Sheaek!

The shimmer in the back reaches towards the knight's back, drawing a rounded trajectory. At the same time, the other two meters aim for the chest and ankle.

Surprisingly well-woven collaborator. There's nowhere to run. But it's also hard to stop them.

Ka Kang!

The wind-swielding Longsword strikes the ankle and chest of a meter. At the same time, the waist is bent. Along with him, you swing Longsword towards the masked man behind you.

At that moment.

Kuaaak!

Suddenly something stuck between the knight and the masked man crushes the ground. I turned my head in surprise and saw the man who went into the mansion with Elisha.

Are you here to help? ’

Together with him, Lycaen's right hand was deeply embedded in the mask's reputation.

Phew!

A deep dig is conveyed by the heavy feeling of the fist. Immediately, the viscera stiffened and even felt the masked person's respiratory arrest.

“Cough!”

A masked man who rolls the floor with a loud scream. The moment he saw that, he recognized Lycaen as his accomplice.

Lycaen's finger grabs the knight's shoulder.

“Huff!”

The knight breathed a false wind without my knowledge. Suddenly, I feel like my nerves are numb all over my body, but my body doesn't move. I was about to twist my body in surprise, but my anxious posture collapsed and I rolled to the ground.

The body still remains motionless.

“What the hell! ”

As the knight tries to say something, Lycaen nods, satisfied.

As Earl Lycaen continued to ponder how he could use his spear to spread blood. At the same time, he was trained in blood thinning. Most of them were wearing armor during the war, so blood clots were largely useless, but otherwise they were fairly useful eunuchs. Especially since we might have to fight a big fight with a secret group of Byronites.

And in a surprising place today, we have seen the results of the hematopoiesis.

“What are you doing!? ”

A knight watches his colleague collapse and throws himself toward Lycaen screaming.

Shhh!

Long sod with a sharp poke. It was a simple stabbing, but its speed and strength were frightening.

Longsword is swarming towards Lycaen with a icy wind.

“Suck!”

Lycaen takes a halfway breath while moving his feet.

Enemies!

As soon as a deep footprint pies through the dirt in the garden, Lycaen rushes toward the flying sword.

Shhh!

Licagien dodged the Shireen Void, leaving only a short gap between his shoulders. And he reaches out his finger at the knight.

“Khh!”

The knight rolls on the floor, his sword held out steadily.

“Get him! ”

Elisha stands by the window and checks the garden situation, shouting in an urgent voice.

At that sound, some knights hurriedly turn their gaze toward Riyaen. Two fallen comrades. The situation is clear. And the Knights of the Twilight react quickly.

Half quickly turn to face Lycaen, and the other half to face the masks. However, the Knights of the Twilight are strong enough to deal with the masks.

Ten knights swiftly surround Lycaen.

The knight didn't rush into it because his two colleagues were too easily beaten.

A situation that would never be welcomed by Lycaen. If we keep this up, even the knights who fought the masks will pay the price.

Of course, Riccianne was far superior to these individuals. And ten of them were confident enough to win. It was because Lycaen were too strong for them to be weak.

But the problem was that we didn't have to kill them, we had to overwhelm them. Killing them now was not a good choice. It was because I didn't have to pretend to be Emperor of the Empire yet.

But you can't just wait. We had to defeat them somehow before we could talk in an advantageous position.

“Ahhhh!”

Lycaen moves first with a resounding duel.
