The Blood Knight’s Villains - Chapter 537
My Villains Episode 537
68. Traveling to the Royal Road (10)
“Of course, no matter how much you get a teacher status, you can’t move completely freely. The swordsman you have to deal with is definitely a stranger from the western part of the Empire, and now the Royal University is a place teeming with noble bloodlines more than ever before.”
As if understanding my silence with an attitude of listening, Marquis Eavon continued her explanation in an excited tone.
“Still, if you hold out for about a couple of months, the boundaries will soften, and there will be people with whom you build friendships without realizing it. Only then is the chance given to you. A chance to climb over the walls of the St. Thomas Convent.”
He glanced at Sir Bran and Oggshlizo, but there was no sign of agitation.
Well, maybe they don’t know my purpose. The justification for inheriting the silver prince army was, firstly, to avenge Prince Ulkar, and secondly, to rescue Princess Yuril from captivity. Even if Marquis Eabon hadn’t spoken to the two messengers, there was no way they wouldn’t have been unaware of the tumultuous announcement I made.
“…Our Marquis is much simpler than I thought. Can you handle this?”
“why? Do you think you can’t?”
“Even if the Marquis is one of the most powerful people in the kingdom, this is not an offense to the royal family. I- I mean, if the swordsman Ludo goes wild in the royal capital and disappears, you will have to take a pretty heavy responsibility.”
“why me?”
“……yes?”
The fireball old man tilted his head with a calm expression.
“Why am I taking responsibility? I heard that it was Count Jovian, not I, who introduced you to the Royal College’s chancellor and student representatives.”
“No, but… do you mean the Marquis’s hands didn’t get burned at all?”
“It must be so in the eyes of the royal family and the royal faction.”
“…what the hell did you use?”
Seeing her giggling, it seems she has no intention of answering.
“I say this in advance to avoid any misunderstanding, but I am not taking any risks. I’ll be in trouble too if Sir Zachary gets caught and starts talking about who the real helper is.”
“Then there must be arrangements for that?”
“Whoa, well… I don’t have time to talk about such trivial things right now. My wizards are starting to sweat.”
‘Colbian Manifestation’ is a truly miraculous spell that projects a human form and voice over a distance of hundreds of kilometers.
It was natural to change rare magic materials and needed assistance from skilled wizards. It won’t take long to keep the order.
“This kind of help cannot be free. What do you want from me?”
Was it because the maintenance time of the secret technique was tight, or was it because there was no reason to wait? Marquis Eabon answered without hesitation.
“Protect my grandson.”
“Grandchildren? You mean Os?”
“Who else would it be? There is only one offspring I need to protect even as I reach out to you.”
I slightly narrowed my brows.
“I heard Count Osse is currently attending the Royal University.”
“yes. It was already the fall of last year when he was taken to the royal capital.”
For a moment, it seemed as if fire was raging in the old man’s eyes. Are you saying that you have a twin heart over something like that?
“…aha. So you’re sending me to the Royal College? To keep Earl Os close by?”
“Why do you feel like you’re losing money?”
As we quietly crossed our arms, he let out a mocking laugh.
“A couple of fences from the Royal College is the St. Thomasian Convent. There is no such thing as a good position from the Lord’s point of view. Besides, if you need help, you can get help from college, right?”
“What help?”
“Kyung knows that, but it’s not just my grandson who was taken there. Garwin, Ines Euphria, Banoin, etc. are in a similar situation.”
‘Wilderness White’ Garwin has memories of enduring harsh defense battles together as the lord of High Castle and Highland, and ‘Little Naga’ Ines supported the fleet and troops when crossing the bay of blades.
In particular, the Milgrester family of Count Ines holds some stake in Proshafen and Eisbo Balt, so they are continuing deep exchanges to this day.
“Apart from Garwin and Ines, who are the other two?”
“You don’t know? never heard of it? Barnoin is the son of the Earl of Coburn and the son-in-law of Lord Daile Syd. Euphria is the daughter of the de Lysire family. He is the nephew that Kyungbaek Byun of Prix cherishes more than his son.”
After all, are only the blades related to the war?
“Aren’t they all kids after all? What kind of help do I get?”
“Are Garwin and Ines like normal kids? They are great lords who rule over a region from a long and powerful family. And everyone is grown enough to be awkward to be called a child. After all, he’s the same age as Gyeonggi, isn’t he?”
“I’m not of this age.”
“My grandson is nineteen this year. Ines was seventeen and Garwin was twenty. Longitude must be twenty-six at most. That’s enough for your age.”
To be precise, Phoenix is twenty-three years old.
However, after living as Kim Seung-soo for 30 years, it has already been 3 years since I lived as Gimpo Enix. To put it bluntly, it means thirty-three.
However, it was not necessary to disclose all of these circumstances.
“That’s Okay. Does it only become more dangerous when more people know about work? And the other guys don’t even know their faces, so what help do they get?”
“Is the face the problem? Those guys should also lend a hand if they have any sense of shame. How much do Odenlock and Yangpast owe to Prince Ulkar?”
“…well, don’t worry about that, I’ll figure it out on my own.” I waved my hand with a look of annoyance
, then suddenly asked a question.
“By the way… You want me to protect Count Os? The Royal University is located in the middle of the royal capital, especially on the Glory Street. But what do you want me to protect from whom?”
“That’s for the Lord to find out.”
“yes? What kind of point is that – no, is it nonsense?”
The old man made of white flames replied with a serious face. “Recently… No, the atmosphere in the royal capital
has not been unusual
since Zacharys took the throne .”
“What if it’s unusual?”
“When it comes to asking for signs, there is no limit.”
Marquis Eavon glanced sideways and quickly continued talking.
“In Glory Street, there is a phenomenon in which you cannot even tell whether it is a curse, sorcery, or disease. Kelly Stel, the great magician of the court, who should be active at this time, has not been able to find a trace since the coronation ceremony, and Count Antor, the head of the palace, has his mansion collapsed for no reason, killing himself and his entire family.”
“What is that…. It’s the first time I’ve heard of it.”
“I guess so. It’s clear that something nasty is going on, but the specific information is sorely lacking. The eyes and ears planted a long time ago are not paying for their food. It’s as if the entire Avenue of Glory has been swallowed up in mist.”
“Is Osu in danger?”
“…I can’t be certain, but that’s what this old man feels.”
Glowing eyes stared down at me.
“I don’t care what’s going on in the capital. Oh, just protect my grandson. That is my request.”
“I see… Are you paying such a high price when there is no specific risk?”
“high prices? Whoops.”
The Marquis snorted.
“Oth is my heir. He is the only one who has proven his worth among his stupid sons and grandchildren who only believe in blood. Do a handful of gold and a small risk seem expensive?”
“…Well, if you think so.”
I felt the Marquis’ firm will, so I decided not to make a fuss.
“I know very well that the Marquis is serious. Then I’ll see you at Lianwell.”
“No way. Lianwell is dangerous, and it is even more dangerous for us to meet face to face.” “Then what shall we do?”
“Come to Multingham.”
“Multingham? Multingham of Marva?”
“okay. I will prepare those who will guide the sutra here.”
Marquis Eavon looked around again, clicked his tongue, and hurriedly finished his words.
“Look for starlings at a tavern called ‘Blue Nest’. They will explain the weak spots and guide you to the Royal College.”
“Anyway, you’re not going to see it yourself, are you?”
“Why are you sad?”
I shrugged lightly.
“I was going to accept the offer you gave me the other day, if it still works.”
“proposal?”
After a moment of bewilderment, he burst into laughter as if he had noticed what I was saying.
“Uh haha what else am I saying! It’s already gone! Too late Sir!”
Ellen, who was next to me, made an expression of ‘What are you talking about?’, but I just nodded calmly.
“Then what? It’s a pity.
It’s because the troops are in short supply.” “Hehe, you understand after you get the territory, right? How generous was my offer at that time.”
“yes. I hit the ground and am regretting it.”
Looking back on it, it’s really disappointing. I could get 1,500 elite soldiers by closing my eyes and having sex a few times, but why did I reject that offer?
“If there is an opportunity, I will definitely introduce you. You, an old man who plays the kyung high like me, are not uncommon.”
“I look forward to it.”
“I will.”
When I licked my lips in regret, the Marquis laughed happily.
“Goodbye! In the name of the bright Lord, I wish you a pleasant voyage!” Shortly after Marquis
Fur
gave a nice bow, a small white fireball exploded.
