Iron Blood Earl Riccianne

Chapter 5. Preparing for the journey (4)

This time, I remembered Raul's expression. But when I get excited here, all I have to do is acknowledge Joel's words. He struggled, smiling, and forcibly lowered his trembling voice.

“Who would say such nonsense.... ”

One person comes to mind when he asks me that question.

‘Yulia...! ’

Only Julia was the one who was there to tell the story.

We'll see! ’

You suddenly grin at it from the inside, but on the outside, you raise your full strength and smile.

“Haha, does Joel believe that nonsense? And you're still joking, right? You're not trying to make fun of people because you don't have enough of that nonsense. The master of the Great Artroom Guild doesn't have the luxury of being that immature. Isn't that right?”

“Huh? Uh-huh, right. I'm just kidding. ”

Joel grinned, never admitting that he was childish by himself. He also realized that it would only be detrimental to him if he continued this story.

“Anyway, why is your owner meeting like that? ”

The small movements that could only be noticed by Raul next to him pointed slightly backwards.

A black shadow that watches closely over here.

Joel knew that from the moment he met Raul.

And another person who knows that.

“Leave it. It's what the erl ordered anyway, and I don't think he'll be particularly provocative, just watching like that. ”

In fact, Raul appeared to Earl Poldenvain because it was an order from Lycaen. Instructions for you to appear like that and come back tailed. Raul is carrying out his orders very precisely.

“Hehehe, I'm holding it in, but you can't rush me. ”

“Ahh ~ Feel free to think! ”

“Still, it's a little dangerous to wear that. ”

Joel said with a worried expression. He also hid it well for a year, but now he's come and intentionally left it to them.

Moreover, after the Karon Merchant Guild was revealed, half of the power that Lycaen and Caith had was exposed. No matter what I had in mind, it did not look good to reveal the power that I had tried so hard to hide.

“What, once or twice? ”

“Huh? What? ”

“What is it that we don't understand about what the Earl does? ”

“Well, come to think of it, yes. So you don't know either? ”

“I just do what I'm told. ”

“But aren't you a genius? ”

Joel asked with a quite curious expression.

In fact, I've wanted to ask you once before. When it comes to dealing with things, Raul certainly looks smarter than Lycaen. Moreover, I have heard many times that he is a genius. But it was always a misunderstanding of Lycaen's plan.

Raul's face suddenly flashes before disappearing. Then he said, tasting again.

“Genius isn't a genius in every field. Why is that? There are so many cases. He's got a really good head, but he'll die if he touches his body one by one. ”

“Well, that's right. ”

“Likewise. They call me a genius, but what I'm good at is dealing with numbers and memory. If I go towards such a scheme or conspiracy, I will be well.... ”

Raul's face was blurry at the end of the sentence and something furious came to his mind.

I'm sorry that I can't help you in that way, but I also felt angry.

“Son, do you think I'm wrong? ”

Joel gives Wiron's Horse. Then Raul suddenly shouted with a stern expression.

“Joel's name is the Guild Master, but he's worse than our Lord. I'm still better at my job than the Lord! ”

“What, what?! ”

Joel clenched his fist once more, but he couldn't stand it. But Raul was already speeding up.

“Huh? We're here! Let's go!”

Hi-yi-ying!

Raul's riding horse leaps forward with a loud cry. After crossing the hill in plain sight, Lycaen enters a secret hiding place.

“Hey, that guy! ”

Joel hurriedly chases after Raul, shouting in a furious voice.

“Well, I can't believe there's a house like that! ”

The surprised voice was filled with disbelief. A house, visible from the bottom of that hill. A second-story mansion is literally in an unfit place.

‘No, it doesn't make sense that there is a place like this……. ’

Sitting on the branch of a large relic, Davek looks unbelievable despite his own eyes. I was worried about what to report back.

In the rugged mountains, there is often a deep ridge that is hard enough to even look down. Such a fluttering place surrounded by carved cliffs, no one has ever been except for a man who occasionally slips and falls.

I will try to climb down the cliff once I see the ground, but I can't make such a fluttering thumb that looks like there is no floor, just a fine fog.

“Ugh…. ”

Davek slowly looks up at the sky. The sky itself was dark because it was covered with clouds. Once again, I looked all around, and there was also a jagged cliff surrounding me.

The clouds in the sky should be called fog, not clouds. If you look at this cliff from the top to the bottom, it must look like a mist.

It was like the bottom of a cylinder. The floor was round and a kind of basin surrounded by very high cliffs. However, the width itself is enormously wide.

Davek looks up at the sky again. There is still cloudy fog. But strangely, the sun was coming in from somewhere. It seemed particularly red everywhere because of the dark sunset.

"Oh, my gosh! ’

I couldn't believe it even when I saw it in person, but I felt so overwhelmed thinking how ridiculous it would be for someone to go and listen to their report.

‘You're in a place like this, so you can't see it. ’

It was natural that it was hard to find the soldiers who disappeared, since they were usually an unspecified number. However, it was impossible for Licayen to hide in plain sight from its appearance. Nevertheless, he looked everywhere and couldn't find it, so it must be because he was hiding in a place like this.

‘Anyway, I just need to check it out and go back. ’

“Hmm, he lasts a long time. ”

Caith folds his arms and stares at the massive relic standing far up the hill. Precisely hidden among the thick leaves of the old tree, he was aiming for the tracker of Circus.

Lycaen, who was sitting in the back, sits up, smiling deeply.

“Let's get out of here, then. ”

“Sure. I'll pretend every time I eat because of him. I don't think I'll go unless I know you're there. ”

“Got it.”

Lycaen slowly walks toward the door, followed by Caith, Joel, Friella and Raul.

“Hehe!”

As soon as she stepped outside, Riyaen burst into laughter. As soon as I came out, I felt that the person on the top of the old tree was flawed.

“You still have good eyes. ”

Joel speaks in a loud voice, saying that Lycaen doesn't give his old man much attention.

“Your silver-haired hair is noticeable no matter how far away. ”

“That's why I don't like it. ”

Caith flinches and throws his horse at Lycaen, frowning.

“Why? Good. It's so convenient that you're the only one here in the battle. ”

“Hehe, that would be nice. ”

Friella, who is closing her eyes slightly, speaks quietly.

“Oh, he's gone. ”

As soon as I came out, I was looking at the flow of Mana up the hill.

Joel nods as well.

“A signal has come. I ran the way I came. I'll have the boys block the entrance. ”

And the last person I spoke to was Raul. With that look of boredom.

“Can you really see it? ”

Unlike the four men who were with him, Raul was unable to see the situation up the hill far away.

Lycaen sits on his feet and says,

“Then, shall we pack our bags? ”

“I hope so.”

Others sat on the floor with the answer, and Lycaen began to talk.

“Now that the picking is over, should we set up a foundation? ”
