Talent-Swallowing Magician - Chapter 77

Episode 77:

Burnt Snowfield

Elric was greatly surprised by a face he had never expected to see here.

‘Wait a minute, then who is this person?’

Elric belatedly realized who the large middle-aged man carrying Isabel on his back was and quickly politely responded.

“It is an honor to meet Blue Lion Hermann Weil.”

“I am just an ordinary nobleman who has been given the title of earl. There is no need for Duke Chan-sung to be so polite. Anyway, nice to meet you. “Can I come in for a moment?”

As I heard, Hermann Weil had a serious tone and elegance.

They say it’s the epitome of chivalry. Those words fit perfectly.

However, Elric had the feeling that Herman was watching him more keenly.

“yes. Please come inside first. But how on earth do we get here…?”

“I thought it would be rude to welcome at home the person who was the benefactor who saved my daughter and who was also the god who cured my illness. So I went to the imperial capital to see him in person, but he wasn’t there.”

“I thought you were thinking for a while because there was no answer. “So I was away for a while, and I guess our paths diverged.”

“On the contrary, we feel sorry. Normally, I should have sent a letter saying I would visit him first, but I came without a word because I wanted to meet him as a surprise. “Even if you leave, I have nothing to say.”

As Hermann entered the villa with Isabelle, he waved lightly and smiled.

Then, suddenly seeing all the eyes pouring in this direction, the corner of one lip twitched.

“But I see some familiar faces here. “I didn’t know that the company’s hunting dog would be in a place like this.”

For a moment, Hermann’s eyes were sharply focused on Hayes.

Hayes also had a stern expression on his face and was already putting his hand on the hammer.

“Do you two know each other?”

“I know. I have an evil friend who is busy growling whenever I meet him. I met that friend a few times. “What is your relationship with Duke Chan-seong…?”

“This is my sister.”

“Hmm? Are you really blood relatives?”

“Yes, but.”

“her! Mervinger’s legitimate daughter?”

Hermann’s eyes widened at Hayes in disbelief.

Hayes growled fiercely.

“I’m sure you’ve told me repeatedly that it’s not like a hunting dog, right?”

“Heh heh!”

Hermann seemed to have a lot to say, but he didn’t feel like saying it because he was busy.

“There is also an old monster from Neresta over there.”

“I thought you told me not to call you that?”

“Then what would you call an old monster, an old monster?”

Unlike Hayes, who was tense, it felt more like a friendly bickering with Augustine.

“On top of that, there are traitor group leaders and beastmen…! “The appearance of the group is truly amazing.”

Hermann glanced at the group and then burst into laughter.

It was amazing to meet a combination like this that would be difficult to find in common.

Just looking at it, it seemed like they were united around Elric.

‘I crave it even more.’

Usually, there are people who, knowingly or unknowingly, attract talented people around them with their unique charm.

A person who will one day rise high into the sky.

Hermann evaluated Elric as that kind of person.

It seemed like it was an act of God that he went straight over the barrier, ignoring the prince, who he didn’t want to see.

“But how on earth did you get here? “What else is happening outside?”

Isabel stepped forward and answered.

“After hearing from the 112nd post commander that my benefactor had crossed the wall, I followed the traces and headed north. Then, by chance, I found out that humans were being held captive here in Antromorph.”

After entering the black snow field. Hermann and Isabel and the others ‘secretly’ visited Antromorph in search of a place to rest for a while while enduring the constant pouring of monsters and the cold.

Then, the day before, I learned from a conversation among the beastmen that some humans had been detained in the villa, and it was clear that it was Elric and his group, so the accident occurred.

“We are deliberately causing a commotion outside to distract the attention of the beastmen. “If you want to leave, you have to do so now.”

Elric and the others exchanged glances for a moment.

Even though it happened by chance, now is definitely an opportunity to get out.

But King Velence was the problem.

“I am…!”

The young Tiger King received a silent look asking what to do, and unknowingly shrugged his shoulders.

At that time, Elric carefully approached, got down on one knee, and got to eye level.

“You said you wanted to get out of here, right?”

King Velence’s round eyes wavered for a moment.

“Is there still no change in that resolution?”

Elric was filled with clear pupils.

Then he turned to Hayes, who was still holding him, and when she nodded and said she was okay, her eyes turned hard.

“I want to go out. “I will guide you to the Temple of Flowers.”

“O king!”

Pen looked at me with a worried face.

“I believe it is more dangerous to remain in this city any longer. Pen I’m not going to tell you to just follow me. But please consider it.”

“….”

For a very short period of time, Fen could only stare blankly at King Velence, who seemed to be several years older.

Elric stood up with a grin.

“great. Then, let’s go out together. “Instead, let’s stop by the research building first, since it’s a transaction.”

“Why is the research building like this all of a sudden?”

King Velence tilted his head in confusion.

“I have all the research materials in my head, right?”

“…!”

“…!”

“…!”

Elric and others opened their mouths in shock.

There must be a huge amount of material related to Gangseojutsu, but you remember it all?

However, seeing his eyes wide open as if he didn’t know what the problem was, it didn’t seem like he was lying.

“…If the royal family is a genius, isn’t that too much of a fraud?”

Sean looked at Elric as if he was talking nonsense, but he didn’t even notice.

However, since there was no need to bother crossing the research building, it seemed like escaping would be much easier.

“then Let’s go.”

The group stood up all at once.

“….”

King Velence closed his eyes tightly while riding on Hayes’ back.

“But it’s not good to quietly get out of this commotion. “Do you have any good ideas?”

Elric grinned at Sean’s question.

“Everything happens.”

Meanwhile, the gaze was focused on King Velence.

Irina, the captain of the Guard, gritted her teeth as she hurriedly moved to the place where the commotion was taking place.

‘It’s all because they brought humans into the city! I should have just thrown it in the snowy field to become food for monsters!’

Because the beast people usually live in city-states, they have no choice but to be closed. However, because it was impossible to know any changes outside, there were cases where people were captured in this way from time to time.

But Irina hated that culture.

To begin with, humans are beings that only harm the beast people. They were like demons. Even if I had them around for no reason, they were only going to cause harm…!

In the end, it was because of these guys that this whole mess happened.

“But that person with blonde hair didn’t look like he would do something like this…!”

“Are you out of your mind? “You don’t know what’s happening right now?”

Moreover, due to how much he had captivated his subordinates, some of them thought that the current commotion had nothing to do with humans.

They were all beastmen who had a few words with Elric.

As the captain scolded them so loudly, they naturally became angry and had no choice but to keep their mouths shut.

‘We have to somehow get them out of the city. If that doesn’t work, we’ll have to kill him!’

In particular, Irina’s impatience reached its peak when she heard the report that King Velence had visited the villa where the humans were.

After all, wasn’t the annex where the commotion occurred?

As a captain of the bodyguard who was loyal to the king, it was unthinkable that harm could come to him.

“I can see the star palace. Everyone ready for battle!”

Following Irina’s orders, the SS members began to unleash their magic power at once.

Patter, patter, patter!

Quad deuk –

Then, the bodies that had a human-like appearance began to change into animal forms all at once.

It was transfur.

And bloody speculation spread everywhere.

Whihwihwi!

Everyone who makes up the SS is one of the most talented people among the Antromorphs. Since they were warriors who received the title of ‘fighter’, the energy they all gave off together was very impressive.

They were already planning to begin their mission to rescue King Velence in each group, following the orders given by Irina before dispatch.

But their actions had to stop there.

“Stop moving!”

There was Elric on top of the steep spire of the villa.

With King Velence hostage!

“The king is in my hands! “If you want to save the king, stop what you’re doing!”

Of course, all the guards, including the ministers, officials, and citizens who came out after hearing the commotion, were shocked.

“Wow, king!”

“What on earth did that crazy guy do?”

“this guy! How dare you take your hands off His Majesty’s body!”

“If there is even a scratch on the body, I will tear you to death!”

The beastmen all expressed their anger, but they had no intention of approaching them carelessly.

It was also evident that he was worried that he might get hurt.

Officials blinded by ambition and greed might not know this, but for the citizens of Antromov, the young Tiger King was like a treasure.

Despite his young age, he was always polite and there was no one who would dislike the way he memorized the names of citizens and tried to get closer to them.

Even though he was not of royal blood, he was well-loved.

“Someone save your highness! please! “Please save your majesty!”

At that time, a pen flew out of the villa.

His face was covered in black soot and his clothes were tattered here and there, so anyone could see that he must have been suffering inside.

“Captain of the Guard! Please save our king! Please our king…!”

Pen burst into tears while holding onto Irina’s pant legs.

Irina soothed him with a hard look on her face.

“What happened?”

“They…! “They are cowardly trying to kidnap and intimidate the king who came to talk to him in person!”

“Why didn’t you bring our SS along with you! “If only we had been there, something like this wouldn’t have happened!”

“I’m sorry. It’s all my fault. “The relationship between the Prime Minister and the Captain of the Guard was so well known… that I recommended that you do so.”

“You say that! No matter how much I treat the Prime Minister like a father, this job comes first to me!”

“You have no shame. I was short-thinking. Even if something unfortunate happened, I thought I would be able to prevent it because I was a fighter when I was young. I’m sorry… “I will accept this sin happily.”

The sight of Penn dropping his head was clearly that of someone who had committed a serious crime and was confessing.

“We’ll ask about Fenn’s sins after this is all over. “First of all, we have to find His Highness first.”

Irina raised her head with burning eyes.

Elric was grinning as evilly as he looked – in her sight, of course – and was screaming loudly.

“Open the road! Otherwise, your king might get hurt!”

For a moment, Irina thought about just rushing in, but in the end, she had to shake her head.

Even just looking at the way he showed off his steel body techniques, Elric was never an opponent that could be judged carelessly.

‘The two old men and the woman who were with him were stronger than that blond guy, and they certainly didn’t look weak. Moreover, it is said that several fighters were killed by the intruders who caused the commotion…!’

You could easily end up doing something wrong.

at last.

‘…Can not help it.’

After much deliberation, Irina gave an order to the SS.

“Everyone open the road!”
