Star Slashing Swordsman

When Julius and Zenoah were aligning their swords.

There were new visitors in the Knights' quarters.

No. Should I say that I came back instead of visiting?

"--Are you sure you're coming home at this time?Couldn't you come back a little sooner?

Of course, he is not a stranger to Ryusus, who once held the position of deputy commander, but he calls his name with affection, as he has called the name of his friend for ten years.

"Knight Commander (,,,,,,) Bernadette?"

A woman who reflects the light and wraps it up in a silhouette so that it doesn't get in the way of her hair that reminds her of the golden thread that shines strongly.There was only a slight amount of fatigue seeping into the dark blue eyes reminiscent of the open ocean sea.

There is also a sharp intimidating atmosphere that does not attract people anywhere, so if you are not an acquaintance, you will avoid talking at all.

I even have that feeling.

"... Luisas"

"I know what you're trying to say, but I'll be a long way behind.Give me a hand, Bernadette. Five years ago, we will liquidate. "

"Oh, I know. I didn't know you had your neck stuck in this, but the whole thing came from a hundred guys."

"..." Hundreds of beauty... "

"That is why I left King's Landing.I was being chased by a hundred beauties.

Merdola of the "Bamboo Beauty".

The person who handled the magic of disfiguring but was named "Baimang" for this reason was a first-class major sinner.

As a result, Bernadette, the Knights Commander, was deliberately summoned to deal with the sightings.

That was just a few weeks ago.

"I chased him to the next step, but I heard about the King's City and turned back.By the way, it's got to do with Meldora's guy. "

"... hey, seriously...!!"

"The name of the mastermind in this" Wizard Hunt "is Arstead.Six years ago, he was found guilty of murdering a nobleman. "

"... the man who died is the mastermind, huh?"

"It's Meldora. Meldora was using a" hundred looks "to protrude himself.In short, the relationship between Arsted and Meldora has been going on for six years. "

Six years ago.

A family of nobles was slaughtered.

You must have bought quite a grudge.

To the extent that everyone had that feeling, the way to kill was terrible.

Originally, I was not a nobleman who was admired by anyone, and there was little sympathy from the surroundings.

And the insertion was done.

The family of nobles was the only one killed, and there was a lot of noise about a month after the incident, but it soon weathered from people's memories.

"...... that also means pulling Bernadette away from the King's Capital -----"

"Probably part of their operation.As it stands, I'm the only one who can fight the "hundred looks."

If the "Baimang" appeared, Bernadette would be chased.

Especially, were you drunk in boiling water by the "Baimang" designated as a major sinner?

Few aristocrats have jumped to catch Meldora somehow.

"And then, in order to stir up my anxiety, a scattered" hundred looks "said to me."

Thanks to this, it was decided which should be the priority, and we hunted it down to the next step, but it would take at least a week to get rid of the "hundred looks" that we would run away from.

So I hurried back and Bernadette smiled bitterly.

"Their purpose is the solemnity of the nobles."

"... if you do that, the country will be finished?"

"I guess that's the end of it.For them, nobility is a symbol of hatred.If that's how the country ends, you think it's gonna end. "

…………

It was only because he himself was disappointed in the aristocracy of the country and quit the Knights that he could speak up and say that it was wrong.

"And their other purpose is to eliminate the wizards they give to the nobles."

"... that's enough. That's right.That's why I helped Oliver....! "

That's why the Wizard Hunt exists.

To kill and strengthen the wizards that are too irregular to even eliminate the mighty wizards.

In other words, I can see why Baimang can help a man called Alstod.

Before the presence of Bernadette, who deals with magic, which is also the natural enemy of Merdola, enemies of the enemy are allies.

The diagram will be established.

Moreover, this time, Arstead is trying to destroy even the Knights.

I suppose you've come to the conclusion that there's no way you won't cooperate in the future.

If you dare not draw Bernadette's attention, you can convince the public that you know your existence and have exposed yourself to danger.

"As you may already know, Arstead's abilities are mental.It's an intense person who can even take away his ego if he wants to. "

"... what are the measures?"

"I don't know that much. But abilities are only the mental system.So, if you don't let the weak-minded stand up to the arrow, you can handle it. "

In one case, the magic of the spiritual system seems invincible, but its fruits and weaknesses are many.

Above all, if the subject's mind is not weak as a prerequisite for manipulation, it will not exert any effect.

In other words, the ability to get into the weakness of the opponent and take away the self and manipulate it.Therefore, it was basically known as a capability that was not suitable for combat.

... but that's just normal (,,) usage.

"But in Alstead's case, he hardly ever uses his magic that way."

"... do you have a magical habit of the mental system?"

"He said, he's manipulating himself. By applying the magic of the mental system to yourself, you can force the limiter to be removed to improve your combat ability.That's how they use it. "

Combat abilities are equal to or greater than those of combat wizards.In addition, you can use the magic of the spiritual system, and there are also magicians of the "Collector" on the side.

It was such a situation that Bernadette could not help but turn back, judging that only people in King's Landing were beyond his control.

"By the way, I can't see Zenoa from now on?"

Bernadette asks if he knows anything.

"I'm practicing. Well, I suppose everyone would call it practicing."

"... that Zenoah?"

"Maybe I was right to force myself into this.In the future, it will be time for a promising wizard to literally tap into his body. "

"………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

Zenoah's personality, sandwiched in a moment of silence.

And based on what Ryusus had to say, I came up with an answer.

The conclusion was to shoot straight.

But...

"No, it's not that much of a gunshot.At least it's me, I think we can fight more.But he's a hungry ghost. He only looks like he wants to die.I don't suppose Zenoah could have forgiven it. "

"... did Zenoa join the Knights because of the children?"

"That's what I said."

I want to protect my children.

While thinking of the faces of his men who had joined the army for that reason for a moment, he turned his gaze to the place where the training ground was located once, stared for a few seconds, and then returned to Ryusus.

"But I probably don't have much time.This is how I'll come back. It's part of the plan. "

I understand that, but I don't have the choice not to go back, and even though it was my job, I told them that I had to move as planned.

"Perhaps you should consider that most of them are already ready."

He temporarily pulled Bernadette out of the king's capital, even if he thought about it and put himself in danger.

You should have thought carefully that preparations had been made.

"So, I know it's too late, but I'll tell you what."

As I told all the other knights except Ryusus around me,

"Let me know as soon as you find a man with gray hair (,,,).Ability is the mental system. So don't try to handle it by yourself, even if you're wrong. "

Ask people to avoid contact just in case, except for people like the chunk of confidence who have established a solid ego.

"Though it is the word of the Baimang, my eyes have told me that it is the truth.So I'll tell her. The criminal Alstead, who was supposed to have been executed six years ago, is now in King's Landing, changing his name and appearance. "

And told the "truth".

"--Ames, let me know as soon as you find your name. Ready?"
