The stuffing of the guards in the 1st Sanctuary was ruined by many guards. "I wonder if this place is good for a modest room," so splendid —— there are hundreds of escorts in a large hall like a gorgeous outdoor ballroom.
Pitchers with water spills and fruit water (juice) are placed on the table, so you can drink them freely. There was no such thing as an escort team that appropriately brought a chair lined up sloppily on the wall and was in a wheelchair.
It's been an hour since I got here. Although Mr. Maxim and his men were gathered to rest, I was squashing my time watching the escorts flutter.
There's no uniform as clear as the Knights of the Holy Kings, and if you're a knight in each house like Captain Maxim, you can see it all together there, but some of them say, "Uh, this man, are you serious about escorting him?" Some people will look at it twice.
No, 'cause you're red-haired and Mohican, right?
"The drinks here are delicious, Hyah."
I thought I'd get a runny nose when I heard him say something like that. Is that the end of the phrase "Hyah"? Dialect? Disinfectant of filth?
"Mr. Guard of the Sullies Family"
"Hyah!?"
Suddenly he put his hand on his shoulder and accidentally "Hyah" came out. I also got a little runny nose, so I took a handkerchief out of my pocket and wiped it.
"Hyah......?
"Oh, hey, what is it!?"
Looking back, it was Mr. Ethan's escort there -- a halfling escort.
He wears the same armor as he did at the dinner party, and weaves a cape embroidered with the Evigne family crest on his back.
The 6 Grand Dukes are equipped with money hanging gear, like drawing a line with other aristocrats, so you can tell right away. It's so cool, to be honest.
(Seeing a halfling woman reminds me of Mr. Mimino...)
And I thought so.
"I, Lerenoa, escort of the Evegne family. Mind if I ask your name?
"Ah--yes, I'm Reggie. As you know, I'm escorting you to the Sullies."
"Ho, yeah, yeah, you're Reggie (...) after all ~"
Hmm? That said, this guy waved at me during the meeting.
We met somewhere... there's no way. If I were a halfling guy, I would definitely remember Mr. Minotaur. If it was when you were wearing [Mori Luo Wan] in the first place, you can't forget it.
"Maybe you know me?
"Yeah. Actually --"
That's when I was about to say.
Huh, and the room darkened like a blackout. Everyone looked up at the ceiling, but I haven't used the demon guide lamp because it's only morning time. We rely on natural light from the outside.
Though it soon became brighter again —— that is, the sky has now darkened at this moment (...).
"What is it now? What is it, Reggie?
"... I have a bad feeling"
It was too unnatural darkness. Today the rain should be as clear as a lie until yesterday. So it's inconceivable that a giant rain cloud covered the sun --
My chest squirts.
With that said, the Honourable Borderline uncle of Berserker also said...
—— Blood kind of makes a scene today.
A wild hunch is a hit. Even more so if it's life-threatening.
As I glanced at the window, there were several guards who were similarly checking out the window. One of them is Master Arthur.
"Master Arthur, what's that now?
…………
When I speak, Master Arthur is silent, staring out. At the end of his gaze is the St. Royal Palace.
"Do you have any idea?
"... no, no way..."
"Dear Arteur!
Master Arthur, who is happy with my voice, finally realizes that I am the one who is speaking up.
"Oh, you're the janitor--"
"Could something have happened at St. Royal Palace?
"What's wrong with you?"
Mr. Lerenoa will come later, but Master Arthur won't give me any information just by putting his hands on his mouth.
I just have a gift pearl award ceremony today. They say it's divine, but it's something we do every year, and if something special happens, even our Count will tell us in advance.
(-- something special?
That, but not special (...).
—— A gifted pearl given to Master Kruvschlat, but apparently with a strong chance of at least 7 stars.
A special gifted pearl.
I know how powerful a 6-star gifted pearl is -- that power Lark was wielding in the "Six Heavens Mine". The power to slash the dragon's neck off under one sword, even though it was dying.
What if that's more than 7 stars?
"Dear Arteur... Is this a gifted pearl given to Master Kruvschlatt"
!?
Master Arthur gives a stunned look, as you can see beside him.
"Oh, you, why did you..."
"What is it? What kind of gifted pearls can Master Kruvschlatt give you?
"... No, if Master Kruvschlat receives it, he should have no problem. That (...) is how to (...) solve it..."
"Hey, wait a minute. What happens if Master Kruvschlat receives a special gifted pearl? Darkness like now?
"I don't know that..."
Zuzu, it sounded like ground.
…………
…………
…………
Exactly. The escorts also begin to detect anomalies and bother. I, Master Arthur, have a gaze with Mr. Lerenoa.
"--Master Arthur, you don't know what's going to happen."
"Oh, oh..."
"So there's a chance that we're in trouble right now due to unforeseen circumstances?
"It's..."
I let my gaze swim. It was Artur,
"… possible"
And he turned his face toward the escorts.
"Guys, listen up! I am Artur, Captain of the 2nd Knights of the Holy Kings!
The sound stopped perfectly in the venue where it was being bothered.
"I can't tell you the details yet, but there could have been some kind of problem at today's gifted pearl awarding ceremony. That's what His Majesty the Holy King and Lord Kruvschlatt plan to hold back (...), but I won't allow the prediction. I need you to be able to move on to action right away!
Huh.
No, wait a minute.
"--Master Arthur, what is that 'hold in'?"
"No... that's a silence now, forget it"
"Are you saying that you knew that some (...) of the bad ones might come out?
The guards bother with my words. [M]
"That's not true. That shouldn't happen."
"It's getting dark right now, and it sounds like something's obviously going on!
That's when I said.
Dón......
In the distance, I heard something being destroyed.
(Orientation: St. Royal Palace)
I was running then. [M]
"Oh, wait, cleaner!
There is no way to wait. When I pop out of an empty window, I think of the shortest route to St. Royal Palace.
This way, babe.
"Mr. Lerenoa!?"
Then Mr. Lerenoa, who came out shortly after me, invites him.
Running out for two.
Out of the shadow of the building —— right there was a wall separating the Holy King's Palace from the 1st Sanctuary.
"Give me that!
A hemispherical darkness had appeared on the grounds of the Holy Royal Palace.
It's hard to tell how close you are, but the size of the mall would be huge. It is also 50 meters tall.
There was no single reason to discontinue that it was not an "anomaly".
