Iron Blood Earl Riccianne

Menen asked in a hurry, not knowing what the report said. But Lycaen shakes his head.

“No, but I think there's someone who can figure it out. ”

“Yes?”

“Well, yeah. Then get to work. ”

Lycaen leans out of his chambers, terrified to be finished.

‘Ah……. What the hell is this?’

Menen tilts his head to the end.

Leaving the office, Lycaen makes his way to the stable. Then, he quickly accepted the greeting of the slouching stable keeper, and jumped right into the saddle and started running.

The village where the Byronites stayed was where Lycaen ran relentlessly away from the fortress, running in a straight line to the outskirts.

“Grandma!”

The door to Tejas' house opens when Lycaen leaps from her saddle.

“Did someone die? What's the rush? ”

When Tehaz asks, Lycaen pops something out of her arms.

“Yes? What is this? ”

“Read it. ”

Tehaz, who tilted his head and turned his gaze to the report, suddenly caught the wrinkles on his forehead.

“This……? ”

“Isn't that strange? ”

Tehaz nods quietly, gesturing at Lycaen and walking into the house.

“First, come in. ”

“I don't know how much I saw it, but I wonder if my grandmother would know.... Oh, there you are. ”

Lycaen, who was following Tehaz into the house, shakes his head in dismay and waves. There was Priella in the house.

“Huh, this is where I live. Is it weird to be here? ”

“No, it's not like that... Hmph! ”

While Lycaen was smiling and talking, Priscilla went into the room without even looking back. Lycaen scratches his back and sits across from Tehaz.

It's been three months since Lycaen returned to the land. For the past three months, Friella has been acting strangely towards Lycaen.

Because of what happened in the Republic of Morellia. It is still upsetting that Tehaz has sent himself to Earl Proquus because he did not tell him the truth.

“The old lady's disciple was once a character.... ”

“What can I do? I still do that sometimes. ”

“Huh, really? The old lady was so chewy... ”

“That's what I was disappointed about. By the way, this report. ”

Tehaz wags the paper he received from Lycaen. Lycaen urgently pushes his torso forward with an anticipated expression.

“Well, any guesses? ”

The letter was sent by Raul, who left to investigate Gain's past activities.

However, the contents of the report were problematic.

It was that Gain had moved six times since she was a newborn, and it seemed that his parents had lived with someone's precision. Of course, it was uncommon up until now, but it could have been enough.

The strange thing was the next one.

In the Royal Academy library, Raul was confident that his thoughts were not wrong when Gain and his parents moved to and when he cleared the area. It was because, at the time of Gain's transfer, a major incident had occurred in the territory where she had previously lived. The variety was varied. The lord had a sudden death, the lord's political predisposition had shifted, and the plague had spread.

But that was it. Other than that, I couldn't find any clues about the person who sent the letter. It was because there was nothing in common with what happened in the territory.

What Raul did, once again, was to sweep through the events in the entire territory and bring out what they had in common. Period was also far ahead of when Gain and his family moved and captured in broad time zones.

It was a massive amount of data to be searched, but it wasn't impossible because Raul had an extraordinary memory.

And as he lived in the library for a few days, Raul finally found something there. Even though it was a long way off, there were similar incidents in other territories. Different types of events, but oddly overlapping time zones. At the time of the incident in the territory where Gain was, something happened in other lands far away.

Raul, with some clues, began searching the nearby territory based on the tidy up events. At the time of the incident, I asked around to see if any of the families had moved to other territories.

And there I found something strange that made my skull glow.

During that time, only the families who had migrated to other territories were recalled, including families who looked exactly like the family of Gain.

Of course, although it relied on the memory of the people who lived there, Gain's character, her parents' character, was the same as a lie.

It was as if there were multiple Gains at the same time.

I went to the next territory to investigate, just in case, but the result is the same. Again, traces of a family with the same characteristics as Gain were found. Of course, it relied on residents' memories as well as on previous territories, but there were not many overlaps like this.

That's why I rushed the report to Lycaen. However, Lika had never experienced anything so strange that she could not answer, and she came to Tehaz just in case.

Even though Ricaien asked, Tehaz didn't say shy. But the look on her face was so serious that she was sure that she knew something.

And a long time later, Tehaz opened his mouth.

“As you might expect, this is likely to be our Byron Clymus. ”

“I knew it!"

“That too, Clymus, is related to death.... ”

“The Art of Death? ”

“Yes, perhaps this family is a doll made of dead bodies. ”

“Suck!”

Lycaen breathes into the wind without my knowledge. I thought it had something to do with the Byron method, but I didn't expect to hear about it.

“Clymus was an absolute ban on Byron Kingdom in the past. It should never be known, nor should it ever spread. If anyone is familiar with this, the army has moved. ”

“By the way, you must have come to our territory and met Gain before, didn't you notice? ”

“These puppets are perfectly human. I would never have noticed it if it weren't for the actual creator. ”

“Is that possible? ”

“Isn't this how it is possible? But it was known to be completely broken... …. ”

Tehas mutters with a contemplative face. It was that shocking that there was still someone who used this evil, unparalleled technique.

Lycaen is thinking about something for a moment and carefully asks.

“Is that doll really the same as a human? ”

“The energy that looks and holds is exactly the same. However, it is also a puppet that has been made. It is not completely the same in every way. Once life span is shorter than or equal to 30 years, human blood must be taken periodically to maintain life. ”

“I see. Then why did you make dolls that look exactly the same? It would be so much better to make it look completely different. ”

“That depends on the level of Clymus. There's a limit to the number of puppets you can make, the appearance. It is because it is that difficult to artificially create a human being. ”

“I see. This is ridiculous and absurd. So there's no way to get behind those dolls? ”

Tehaz cautiously asked Lycaen.

“There is one thing. ”

“Well, are you sure? By any chance, by any chance, is that also a technique? ”

“Yes, but you have to meet the doll in person. ”

“Well, it looks like the other dolls are still moving, so you can have Raul track them down. ”

Tehaz, a moment of deliberation, suddenly smiles maliciously.

“That's enough. We'll have Friella investigate them. ”

At that moment, Lycaen asked, flawed.

“Hmm? Is there anyone else besides Friella? ”

Tehaz said as if he didn't have enough stock.

“Nothing.”

But the truth is, I've been thinking about picking on Friella who's been bumping into me lately. Of course, Riccianne will suffer for it, but it was also a small entertainment for Tehaz.

“Tsk, got it. We're going to the capital soon, so ask him to come with us. ”

“Days, got it. ”

“Hey, what the hell is wrong with Earl Jeron? ”

In a crowded restaurant. The Wolf, sitting in the corner, screams with a sudden expression of death. Elisha, who was staring at the Wolf's face quietly, asked with a tired face.

“Ha! You've been with me for three months and you still can't feel it? ”

“So we've been together for three months. If I look at the people you've met so far, and I see that Earl Jeron looks good enough, why not? ”

“Phew!”

Elisha lets out a long sigh like a habit. Then he tapped on Wolf's shoulder and shook his head as if he didn't have the strength to explain it any more.

“Y-you 're ignoring me? Oww... I want to squeeze one out of my temper... ”

Wolf frowned at his attitude and said with a plethora of frown, as if he was exerting his maximum patience. However, Elisha was not in such a vicious manner.
