Philstar or Gaju's Regression

“Around a month ago, something strange began to happen. The flora and fauna in the vicinity of the mine became so bizarre that they began to destroy their surroundings, attack people, or do things like drown. ”

Arriving at the castle of Baron Evangeline, a group of Romans could hear what was going on in Baron Age.

“Approximately a month ago? ”

“Yes, I am. I don't think all the fauna are like that, but anyway, the boars and beasts that wander around here and there are turning around attacking people.... They're fully armed to protect people, but it's really hard to use their hands. ”

Despite his reputation as a southern prodigy, his face was full of embarrassment, and the situation did not seem to be a normal one at the moment.

“Especially the boar that Lord Sword Master Philstein killed earlier is a monster that has done a lot of damage to the folk. ”

“Are you?”

“The number of people killed by that boar is more than two. It was embarrassing to chase the soldiers completely armed thanks to a lump of gathering, but thanks to it, I was able to get my hands off them. I would like to take this opportunity to thank you. ”

And the boar that came out earlier seems to have been the target of Baron Evangeline's pursuit.

And when he had thanked him,

“No, it's not. I just did what I had to do. ”

Loan also received his greetings with examples.

This is probably the most representative part of how Loan received the Sword Master accreditation.

To the extent that a Southern skilled man can use his respect for a commoner Loan than himself.

“In any case, because of this situation, I have always enjoyed the princess' oil, but now that you are here, I will try my best. ”

And he sends a desperate glance to Angelina to understand what's going on right now.

There is no way Angelina would have gone to Baron Evangeline without any notice, and he must have made all of his calls several times already.

Nevertheless, this cautious thing must be because she reduces Rosesta's most virtuous blood.

“Don't worry about that, Lord Evangeline. I didn't just come here to be a loner. ”

Soon Angelina replied with a smile.

“Yes?”

As Baron Evangeline mutters her unexpected answer,

“I want to build my people's achievements. ”

Even Loan followed Angelina's unexpected answer.

You're my man?

Of course, there are a lot of different interpretations.

“Ahhh……. ”

Both Roan and Angelina are still young men.

Especially since it has the only black hair on the continent, and Ronan's dog is also on the run, it was nothing unusual, even if Angelina noticed it, and it seemed natural.

He is also a commoner, but even a Sword Master accredited figure.

If Angelina took the initiative, wouldn't it be right that she considers Loan to be special?

“I see..... ”

He nods with a pale smile towards Roman, hoping to understand her intentions.

“Lord Philstein, the Sword Master, will be more than happy for me to help you with this! ”

The news of Roan has already been reported to Baron Evangeline in the south.

He is the youngest and the only Sword Master on the continent.

Therefore, his friendship with him must be of considerable help.

“And it is also an honor to be honored by Angelina and Her Majesty's will! ”

In addition, Brad's succession to the Emperor is announced unless there is any change.

Therefore, it is not an area for Baron Evangeline to lose his relationship with Angelina, Brad's sister.

Even now he was in the middle of a conversation with Marquis Dyke to enter the central noble society of the Linguini system.

Of course, the age difference is too severe, and this side will be much clearer since it carries the power of Marquis Dyke on his back with the level of chatter that has yet to be mentioned.

He also said he would help deal with problems that arise within his camp.Isn 't there any reason to dislike it?

“First of all, I'll show you where to stay, Princess! ”

Inform Baron Evangeline of his ambition to enter the centre with a more friendly face.

“Yes, I will. ”

Angelina nods, smiling with a relaxed face.

On her own, competent and elegant response in all respects,

“Your Majesty, may I look outside for a moment? ”

Loan, who had decided not to care much about the rather surprising title 'My Person’, asked a few questions.

“Outside? ”

“Yeah, maybe Busha's here. ”

Angelina nods gladly at the words.

“Nothing else is going to happen in here, so don't worry, Loan. ”

I know that Roan has been worried about Busha for the last ten days.

“Have you ever heard of the Half Elves from outside? A half-elf with green eyes on blonde hair. ”

And when he asked Baron Evangeline if he had ever seen Busha,

“I've never heard of such a story. I've been busy lately. ”

Baron Evangeline shakes her head because she doesn't know anything about Half Elves.

“I see..... ”

I still have no way to hear from Busha.

Loan sighed with a slightly frustrated mind,

“So, is Baron Grey's place close to here? ”

I asked again.

“Why is that place? ”

Then, Baron Evangeline looks flawed and surprised.

“I have a connection, so I'd like to stop by once. ”

According to Loan's answer,

“Aah.”

Baron Evangeline nodded.

“If it's the Philstein family, maybe it is. ”

In the past, there were many slaves under Baron Grey, all of whom were trained as assassins of considerable skill and rebelled.

It's no wonder some of the slaves who escaped there became the Philistine Assassin of the Philistine Family.

So it wouldn't be weird for the next housewife, Loan, to visit there once.

“I'll show you the servant. Just remember, it's not such a pleasant place. ”

“Thank you, Baron. ”

That's how Loan nodded.

“Well, let's see if Loan can come. I need to release the Admiral. ”

Angelina shrugged her shoulders and said she was truly exhausted.

“Yes, Your Majesty. ”

“And I want you to keep your promise. ”

And Angelina staring at Cedric.

Surprisingly cute corner.

“Got it.”

And he nodded, thinking,

“Cedric, Damos. What are you going to do? ”

I asked two people who had not yet been determined to walk.

Of course it's Cedric. Of course I wanted to follow Roan.

“I need to talk to Baron Evangeline, too. I heard there's an amantium here. ”

However, as expected, Cedric chose to have a conversation with Baron Evangeline.

“.... You are Heinkel family, right? ”

Baron Evangeline also asked with a strange glance that the rumor was not a rumor of vanity.

“Yes, I am. I am Cedric Heinkel, the 13-year-old commander. This is my guard, Leucia. ”

Soon let's say goodbye to the hooded leucia.

“Very well. I'll guide you first and talk to you. ”

Baron Evangeline laughs and says he has quite a lot of work to do.

And, uh...

“I'll do the training! ”

This time, Damos was confident in his will.

As if he had been stimulated by the failure to defeat the Weird Boar, he seemed to be planning to go to training right away.

“You're amazing. Even though I came here..... ”

Despite being the successor of the Empire's supreme nobility, being so faithful was certainly an admirable part of it.

As Baron Evangeline admires,

“We still have a long way to go. ”

Damon shakes his head with a deep sigh.

“Before I graduate from the Academy, I will definitely be a Sword Master too! ”

The next three years!

Everyone laughed at him after declaring the Sword Master equilateral.

“I'll let you know where you can focus. ”

“No, I'm going to find those beasts, so you don't have to. ”

And now he felt that what he needed was a practical experience.

‘You must be able to defeat it enough! ’

A Loan who defeated a giant boar without even using a sword.

Of course, it should be that level, seeing him glowing in his eyes,

“I have to cheer on Damon's dream, too. ”

Angelina laughed more bluntly than anyone else.

Even so, Damon and she are cousins.

“That's it. ”

She looked at everyone and said, while also feeling a little dim for some reason.

“Then we'll meet again in the evening. ”

“This is it. ”

Following the guidance of Baron Evangeline's servant MacDowell and arriving at the former Grey Baron,

“This is the former Baron Grey..... ”

I felt strange.

Due to the revolt that the slaves had committed at the time, the old castle was almost extinguished, leaving nothing but a shallow ground, and the people were not approaching it because it was too old.

“There's something bad about it, but it's actually a place where people rarely go, even when there was a Grey Baron before. It felt really bad just passing by, but I didn't know you'd build a castle here. ”

Rather than simply being abandoned, the land itself felt like it was holding madness, making it a place that seemed totally repulsive.

Kara, who had grown up to be an assassin tortured in this space, could not seem to be completely sane.

“I see. How many slaves are here..? ”

And when he asked with a fuzzy mind,

“…… I don't know the exact number, but it would have been more than 200. ”

“Over 200 people? ”

A tremendous number returned to the answer.

Isn't that a number that doesn't run out compared to the people of the Philstein family?

“More than 100 bodies have been excavated on this site. If you dig deeper, you might see more bodies, so no one touches them. ”

McDowell answered with a frown.

“…… Are there really so many slaves? ”

“At that time, the Bastet region was rich, and even Grey spent all his money on slavery to poverty. This province itself was hell at the time. And I had no idea that the baron was doing this. You don't look like a human being! ”

The memory of Baron Grey didn't seem to have a good one.

But despite being a wealthy territory because of the mines, I have wasted my territory's finances doing this insane thing.

“No matter how many slaves they were, most of them were children, so they were really demons. At the end of the day, he said he had died miserably, and that was the last thing he deserved. ”

Even if most of the empires don't think of slaves as human beings, what Baron Grey did crossed human lines.

According to McDowell's answer, where hatred of the worst human beings is buried,

“... I see. ”

Loan had no choice but to nod with a heavier heart.

Until time came, Loan thought he might be the most unfortunate man.

I lost my mother at a young age, and at the age of 19, I lost my family like William and Parvity and Hans.

And I even assassinated my first love, Emilia.

You might say you've lived because you haven't died since.

“Kara..... ”

I thought it might have been a very mild life compared to hers.

I'd be dragged into a place like this, and I'd kill my friend with my hands, and I'd be tortured if I didn't.

It must have been a more devastating curse for her to be free from death, believing that death was the only salvation in a situation that could not be tolerated without madness.

“Anyway, I'm scared to come here! If you don't need anything else, I'll stay back! ”

Soon McDowell will no longer be able to step back and say,

“Thank you for your guidance. ”

Loan bows his head and says thank you.

“Oh, wait a minute. Is that lake where it used to be? ”

Then let's point to the little lake next to the castle where Loan burned down.

“…… Yes? The lake?”

He looks at Loan as if he is talking.

“Aah.”

Loan shakes her head with excitement as if she feels something.

“No, I think I saw something wrong. ”

“Even if it's dark, it could be! ”

“Well, I hope you take a look. ”

And let's say again that Loan can really go now.

“Yes, then I will step back first! ”

Whether McDowell really disliked it or not, he left in a hurry.

And Loan, who is left alone, stares at Baron Grey's estate and lake.

“…… You're not usually a lake. ”

The lake, visible only to Loan's eyes, will certainly not belong to this world.

I thought it might be artificial, that the spirits gathered and made here.

“... It looks like the Holy Land of Wind. ”

But as if he had never felt this way for the first time, he walked slowly.

The Holy Place of Wind, where you acquired the Mage Sword Elkane in your previous life.

It was very similar to the feeling of another dimension that was sealed with a strong shield.

“Is there an impact? ”

But he didn't even know the exact thing.

Loan didn't have the magic knowledge either.

However, without defining the former Grey Baron, he took a step into it.

And it feels like skin.

“…… Fear, fear, sadness. ”

Loan became a sad face in the sense of death.

It reminds me of his previous walk, which drove himself into limb.

I wouldn't mind.

Over a hundred children are killing each other without even knowing why, and some are being abused and killed by the baron.

This is the place where the unfair death was born.

Basrak.

It was at that moment that the popularity was heard.

“McDowell?”

Ron turned his head, because there was no one else to accompany him.

“Loan!”

There, Kara, who seemed to be welcoming, shouted his name with a glamorous face.

“Kara?”

I never thought I'd see Kara here!

It would be surprising to see her again about two weeks after she disappeared that day.

I was surprised to see Loan.

“You came here first because you thought of Kara! I'm glad!”

Kara, who was very impressed, rushed towards him.

Warlock!

And the air here is so gross, it doesn't look like anything.

The only thing you can see is Ronan, the one who hugs him!

“.... Are you here to help the Ariman Church? ”

I used to care, but now that I've heard about this place, I have to care more.

When Loan asked with a nice face,

“I don't even know about the church! But Berge and Ludwig asked for help last time! I'm here to meet my friends! ”

Kara smiles brightly and replies that it is only good to see him!

It was so clear that all the hardships she had suffered here felt like lies, but on the other hand, I thought she might have survived so far.

“... Do you know what they're trying to do here? ”

I don't want to fight Kara.

I really don't want to fight her.

And when Loan, who felt that way, asked to persuade her,

“Kara doesn't know very well. Ludwig's just trying to wake up something here, get the power. I was just told to stop someone from interrupting it. Because I said that's the last request. ”

Kara answering as she is, like a child.

I don't use Kara's head as much as I move according to my instincts.

Obviously, Ludwig or Verke would have said exactly what he said, so I didn't even know that time was running out to approach Loan.

I just wanted to see it for no reason.

“If that happens, a lot of people will suffer here like Baron Grey, Kara. ”

Kara might be able to convince him somehow and lead him on the right path.

Let's be serious about what Loan thought.

“… but life is just pain. When you die, it's all over, so you'll be much happier! ”

She shakes her head and shouts, still believing that death is salvation.

“That's the only way to be happy! Look! Kara is alone, but everyone is staying together! ”

And Kara touches her head with both hands as if she were asking to stroke her head.

Whether it's because she's out of her mind or not, she clearly has a gift for seeing life.

So I didn't even know that I was eager to die because I could see my friends' souls.

“…… It may be salvation for those who want death, but it is only a disaster for those who do not want death. ”

The more you know, the more pitiful and beautiful you are.

It was Loan who chose the soft side of the tire rather than the dagger.

“My head, I feel good. ”

But it seems like his hands are better than his words, so I don't know what to do.

“Kara. Don't swing at them anymore. Come with me. ”

And so what do we do with the more heartbreaking things?

Loan is persuaded in earnest that he wants to make no more pain as painful as his heart hurts.

A blind love would be persuasive enough for Kara.

And with her cooperation, the work here could be done much sooner.

“But Kara learned that her promise to her friend is to keep it. No matter how good Loan is, he can't break his promise..... ”

Then she shook her head with a very gloomy face.

“Ludwig, Berge and Polks are friends of Kara.... ”

“If you were a real friend, you wouldn't lead me this bad way. ”

“You may not think you're a friend, but Kara wasn't alone because she had Berkena Ludwig..... I didn't just become a monster myself! ”

It was a face that looked like a child who was desperate to hang out with bad friends.

Although Loan is very nice, he still doesn't look greener than the red wolves who have lived half their lives.

“... Kara. ”

And it wasn't that I couldn't count on that feeling, so it was more unfortunate.

“But don't worry! Kara asked me to stop you if anyone disturbs you, so I'll only stop you if you don't feel bad! That's it, isn't it? Loan!”

Soon she came up with a compromise.

He seemed to have a much larger proportion of Roan than his friends, but he was cute but premature to make his own compromise.

I'm begging you to answer me like that.

“…… yes. ”

How much more do you have to suffer?

Ron nods boldly and hugs her again, especially in this place where he didn't want to make Kara any more troublesome.

“…… Ah. ”

Then Kara, who had her face dug into his arms, took a deep breath without me knowing.

“…… Baron. ”

I didn't know how to call Loan.

Looking at Kara's eyes as if the memory of that day had come to mind, Loan nodded.

“No more suffering, Kara. ”

I just thought I wanted to set her free from the dreadful past.

Then, even if I was to be condemned as the worst human being, I would dare to do so.

That's how Loan got his back again.

Glug.

Kara's purple eyes shed tears without my knowledge.

“…… it doesn't bother me anymore, Kara. Because you finally met Loan. That's what we're all gonna think. ”

At that moment, Loan saw countless spirits appear young behind Kara's back.

“…… what is this? ”

Although it is not very clear, Roan loses sight of the spirits that are opaque in the shadows.

I've never had this experience before.

You must have the talent to see life to get to the edge of the Sword Master, and because of that, you have met spirits or spirits several times.

But I didn't expect to have this experience in broad daylight, so Loan froze a little.

“..... you can see it in the eyes of Loan, right? Friends have come.”

But aren't they all really pitiful flowers?

“Yes……. ”

His eyes were wet, which he quickly choked on.

“You were all so lonely..... ”

After counting their feelings, he shed tears with his words.

The emotions conveyed by touching Kara's body seem to have just wished for someone's warmth.

‘It's warm!’

It was the only one.

And as for them, Ron, who now seems to be pulling Kara, the only survivor of the remaining Grey Baron, apart.

“I'm so sorry……. ”

There was no reason for him to apologize.

But there are countless spirits who are staying here crying, so that's all I can say now.

“I'm really sorry..... ”

I had to protect it, but the pity for what I didn't protect covered my eyes.

“ ……. ”

Now that she's crying without a sound,

“Loan……. ”

Rather, Kara hugs him like she comforts him.

When his shoulders were so much bigger than Kara's,

“... Oh, what if I keep crying? We were so happy. ”

Kara steals snowflakes with her hands, as if she felt like tears were coming out.

And Kara said with a gentle stroke of Loan's hair that was crying as he gave it to her.

“Thank you all, Loan..... ”
