dangerous way to choose dragons
Chapter 4 Love and Strategy
The front of the Pope's Palace is a vast garden and forest.
The building is built on the top of the mountain, and the staged garden is built into a fountain by using the height difference. The neat garden trees may get lost after entering. The flowers of different colors depict the natural green velvet, forming different surfaces.
The bottom of both sides of the courtyard is surrounded by a ㄇ-shaped forest, and hidden in the depths is the training ground for the paladins.
Based on the Great Temple, the forest in front of the palace is behind it, and there are no other hills on the way, which is one of the terrains that are quite easy for the enemy to invade.
In the forest facing the corner of the garden, Flame King Sephad was lying on the ground.
The green grass under the body and the red hair scattered on it give people a strong impression of color contrast.
His expression seemed to be sleeping, and he suddenly opened his eyes and sat up.
"The spirit of the wind and the spirit of the earth. It was a great help.──Thank you."
Alone, he spoke in a kind tone.
The ground around him shook slightly in response to his words.
The Great Shrine and the Palace of the Pope's residence concentrate the yang energy of the human beings who live in Zongbenshan.Phantom beasts belonging to the underworld will feel pain in the building of the headquarters of the religious order.Breathing is not very smooth.
After seeing off Yake, who was advised by his friend to take a bath in order to meet the Pope, they left and ran out.
However, even though he got information from Fengling and Earthling, his confusion deepened.
Feng Sakapu, a doctor-level magician, had gathered the names of wind and earth elves before, and neighboring countries have made preparations for new wars.
However, the sequelae of casting such a large spell and the excessive concentration of specific spirits are that the natural balance is in danger of collapsing.
Thunder Fang King Alphador used the ultimate spell of wind spirit magic to destroy the city. As a result, a small tornado was locally generated, and the sand suddenly fell. The city maintained a wonderful weather for two or three days.
It was the mantra he chanted of the thunder dragon, which was specially protected by the wind spirit, and it was still at this level.
──Those doctor-level magicians really did this after fully understanding the consequences...
Saifad, who was thinking about things, didn't notice the interrogation of the humans walking from the forest.
"Come here, who! Where did you come in from?"
He looked up and saw two paladins running from the end of the forest road.
The two young paladins stopped nearby and put their hands on the hilts around their waists.
Another paladin outside the questioning voice just now looked down at the Dragon King sitting on the grass and scolded loudly.
"You bastard, do you know what this is?"
"I don't know who it is, but you call me a scumbag. I didn't expect a watchdog to be funny, so you can say something like that!"
From the unreasonable attack when he arrived, Yan Lie Wang had a bad impression of the Paladins.He returned to his black attire, showing a thin smile.
The paladin felt humiliated by the overwhelming momentum of his unarmed opponent, and drew his sword.
"Slow down!"
There was a sharp stop sound from behind the two of them.
"I don't know the situation yet, so I'm going to make a move?"
"team leader……"
The black-haired man approaching middle age accused the two young men who had stepped out.
Sephad opened his eyes and looked into the man's bright blue pupils.
"This, Your Majesty the Phantasmal Beast King...! Immature subordinates are too rude. I, the leader of the eastern team of the Holy Knight Order, will give these two guys a severe punishment in the future. I hope you can agree to let me punish them. .”
"Phantom Beast...Dragon King...!"
The two young paladins whimpered and wanted to run away.
The Dragon King walked up to the two with ill intentions as if he was going to chase them.
Unable to bear the sense of terror, the two turned around and wanted to escape, but were startled by the captain's sharp voice.
"Stop! From now on, if you still plan to escape, take one step and return the sword bestowed by His Majesty. The Holy Knights don't need cowards."
"It's the captain after all. The other people are always thinking of cannibalism. To be honest, the constant disrespect towards the Holy Knights is quite disgusting. If you answer my question, I won't do anything."
"I will tell you everything I can answer with my authority. I am Juliu, the king of all monsters."
"Although I am the King of Phantom Beasts, I am the former king. The current King of Phantom Beasts is a black-haired brat like you. I was requested by the present generation to be the guardian of Yake, the swearer, but I will change it back soon. Let me tell you first. One sound."
The captain couldn't understand why the young dragon king in front of him abdicated, but he, who was not a phantom beast, seemed unqualified to ask this question.
Saifad looked at the opponent's capable face with a scorching sun-like gaze, and suddenly cut to the point.
"The Holy Knights guarding the Great Temple intends to kill Ark who uses holy magic. Does the counterfeit also use holy magic?"
"The security of the Great Temple is guarded by the south team and the north team. I can't answer you for the east team."
"Would you attack if you were on guard?"
"Assumptions are useless."
King Yanlie understood that the captain who was looking directly at him was difficult to deal with, so he changed the problem.
"Who is the leader of the holy knights in charge of the four teams of East, West, North and South? He is the successor after Yake's teacher Kanigam left. Which faction of the great priest is that guy? Can you answer this question!"
"The word faction is not appropriate in the religious order....As far as I know, the head of Belluno is very much in need of High Priest Hahnti. Regarding this matter, Lord Arkenjell is also the same. Think of it this way!"
In short, it seems that there is no level of information other than what Yake knows, and Saifad hastily dismissed the idea of seeking from this man.But it seems that it is annoying that it is gone like this, and I intend to tease the other party a little.
"My lord? At your age, you know the age of Yake when he was a paladin, right? Why do you still call him "My lord"?"
"It is disrespectful to abandon the title of a saint recognized by His Majesty."
The Dragon King, who was defeated by an army, couldn't help but get angry.
"He looks very straightforward. But he's full of lies~"
Feeling that the captain was insulted, the two people behind couldn't help but change their expressions, but after being coldly glanced at by the Dragon King, they immediately froze in place.
The Dragon King, who dismissed the small miscellaneous fish with just his eyes, said in a bright tone.
"Yes, there is nothing wrong with it. But why do you protect yourself with such a strong armor?"
The sarcasm that Saifad uttered seemed to reach Juliu's body for the first time, and the blue eyes lowered thoughtfully.
Under the left eye, there is a small old scar on the cheekbone.The white crescents floating on the wheat-colored skin are very conspicuous.
The dragon king slowly stretched out his right hand, touched the mark with his fingertips, and the paladin quickly grabbed the opponent's wrist.
Although he didn't speak, he glared with a stern expression.
The dragon king's amber eyes looked at the blue eyes of the dark-haired human.
"Does the old injury matter?"
"Suddenly being touched on the face by others, it would be ridiculous if you don't care!"
"Others? I'm a phantom beast, not a human?"
Even though he was caught, the Dragon King, who was not wearing a weapon, showed no panic, and showed a big cat-like smile in a good mood.
After the distance, Juliu opened his mouth.
"The same Dragon King is quite different. An arrogant attitude will not be favored, and a fake person is more like a king."
"The king you're talking about is the king of humans. Dragon kings are quite proud. Even kings don't bow their heads, and even becoming kings has nothing to be proud of. The fake guy is just hiding his disgust for humans."
"Aversion to humans?"
"Do you think human beings are creatures that are unconditionally loved by the Dragon King?"
The captain of the east team lowered his eyes again and said in a low voice.
"The arrogant side is okay. You are very spicy."
"Really? I divide people into likes and dislikes. But I really like that scar, so I tried to put you into the side I like. But you are wearing armor, so it seems very hard. So use things to test it two or three times, Did it go in a little?"
Juliu, who was successfully counterattacked, covered his face with one hand and was temporarily speechless.
After a while, he raised his face with a small sigh.
"As a result of accumulating severe training, human beings are still weak-hearted creatures. They cannot control malicious things that pose a danger to their own foothold. In particular, there is only one position at the top, and the existence of the things in front of them is not sure for saints. It cannot be leniently tolerated.”
"Um……"
"Please inform Yake. I don't think it's a good thing for him to stay here for a long time."
In front of his subordinates, he walked away in order to protect himself and muttered to himself, but this man's strong blue eyes did not show any humiliation.
The red-haired dragon king placed a hand on the paladin's broad shoulders with affection.
"After all, they are people who protect each other. ──There will be an audience with the Pope, and I will be with Yake, but will I see you and the high priests?"
"Yes. All the main characters will gather there."
"Really? Then, I look forward to seeing you again."
Before he finished speaking, the wings of red skin stretched out from the back of Saifad.
Before the words were over, the wings of the red skin spread to Sephad's back.
Juliu pressed his left cheek and stared at the phantom beast floating in the air.Astonished at the inhuman wings, the finger pointed again to the scar under the eye.
"king!"
"Don't pay so much attention to your crescent scar. At least increase your manliness by [-]%."
The Dragon King, who was laughing happily above, turned his body gracefully in the air and flew towards the palace.
The paladins who were thrown down silently watched the red figure who left in an instant.
Yuuli caressed the scar that Saifad liked and smiled wryly.
──[-]% more masculinity....It's really unexpected to be said so, this benefit is really unexpected, realistic man.
This wound was suddenly scratched by him when he was teaching the swordsmanship of Yakenjell, who was a boy when he was an apprentice paladin.
Where the blade was scratched, although the healing spell was used, scars remained.
Innate talent──.
With a flashing sword speed, he should have been a paladin with the same level of magic power as a monk, but Yake was able to use priest-level holy magic.
Like his talent, while symbolizing himself seems to be refracted by his talent, yet purified by his laugh.
If it was the Dragon King, he would be able to perceive what Juliu really wanted to say.
The talent that was loved by the four-faced god and the dragon king was lost because of the ambition of a mediocre man wearing the clothes of a priest, which is an irreparable loss for the sect.
Sephad, who entered the living room of his assigned room through the pre-opened window, was not surprised that Yakanjar hadn't returned yet.
I'm afraid the female knight who went with me is very excited, so let's dress up as a beautiful friend!
Sitting in an upholstered chair, contemplating the landscape painting adorning the fireplace, and placing one's feet indecently on the finely carved table.
"...A little older, but she is a beauty worthy of Jacques, the eldest daughter of the former first princess of the capital, and the granddaughter of the pope? Even if she is a policy marriage partner, there is nothing to criticize."
King Yanlie commented on Felicia, followed by fierce rejection as expected.
Saifad, who hit reality in a row, seemed to be slipping off the chair, and hurriedly grabbed the handle of the chair.
"Why so suddenly, idiot! This is just my own words."
After staying silent for a while, after listening to Ulan Pok's argument that no one else could hear, he lowered his feet from the table and moaned fiercely.
"This stupid kid, what a strange dream! Hey, a good man and a good woman are together, and it is the job of the living to give birth to excellent children. If it weren't for me and the Demon King to do this job well, you and Yake I won’t be alive now.... A brat who hasn’t even come into heat yet has no right to say anything.”
Deep in his chest, the contemporary Phantom Beast King retorted forcefully, but Yan Lie King was also uncharacteristically tough.
"There's nothing wrong with it! Ancestors say it!"
With a stern conclusion, the door to the corridor opened.
"Hey, is anyone there? There seems to be a commotion. In the corridor, I heard roaring."
The paladin, the leader of the west team who guarded the Pope's palace with the east team, showed his face through the crack of the door with incredible writing on his face.
And he took the hand of the tired and weary Yakanzel into the room.
He had embroidery around the collar and cuffs, with pearls and precious stones sewn on, and he wore a blue tunic.A blouse with a length of about ten feet of fabric looks heavy just like that.
Underneath is a thin silk gown woven with intricate insignia patterns similar to the priest's robe, and a paladin uniform made of high-grade fabrics of different textures is also worn inside──It seems to be a compromise between priests and paladins .
Saifad couldn't help asking.
"Isn't this hot?"
"This is the result of the hard work of all the female officials inside! King, please call it beauty beyond the world."
Biak was faster, Feliette inserted into it unpreparedly to answer the Monster King.
In order to keep her baggy blouse from wrinkling, she asked her friend, who had no energy to speak, to sit on a chair without a back.
Shrinking from the strong fragrance of roses, King Yanlie criticized conservatively.
"It's very beautiful... But do you have to get it from head to toe? Even without these decorations, Yake is still a special beauty!"
The lustrous platinum long hair was stubbornly combed, with a little decoration on it, tied with a belt, fixed in several places with small golden flowers, and the rest of the long hair was draped over the back of the large jacket like flowing water .
"Beauty, ordinary women don't dress up like this, do they? And Yake's health is not very good now. It's heavy, hot and difficult to walk. It's a triple pain."
"Your mouth is so sweet, king of phantom beasts. St. Alconjere is very popular among women and children in the human world. Not only the ladies and maids, but also the main staff of the nunnery. The embodiment of the mercy of the four-faced god is almost moved by tears. For women, compared with the great old man, they worship the peerless and beautiful young man who is kind and smiling, and are fascinated by him. The information network of women is very powerful. Almost Tianhou, even the maids of the small inn will proudly recite the words of the holy man who appears as beautiful as the four-faced god riding a dragon to the guests on the pilgrimage. And those pilgrims will also publicize what they have seen and heard in the Holy Land on their return trip everything of."
"...beautiful four-faced god?"
Something like four faces and eight arms would be beautiful, but Sephad didn't say it in front of Feliette.
Yake weakly protested to his friend.
"...It is extremely disrespectful to compare me as a human being to the supreme beauty of a god."
"Isn't it good? Let me give you an impression first. It's not just swords and magic that have the power to conquer the world."
"Is that so. Let the legend spread for free?──You look bad. Do you want a drink to refresh yourself before the audience?"
"Would you like wine?──I wonder if there is something wrong with my nose, is it just my hair that smells?"
The incarnation of the Dragon King frowned slightly.
"My nose should be stronger than a human, and the perfume I blow on seems to be very strong."
"It's also called a perfume bath. At the beginning, I almost thought that I would be fainted by the strong smell and drown."
"Huh... I sympathize with you."
King Enere, who asked Felicia to take the glass, saw the young man's expression return to normal, and began to ask the returning female knight questions.
"If the current knight leader is dismissed, will you be replaced as leader?"
"Oh, it's hard even if I'm your granddaughter. When I was appointed as the captain of the west team, someone behind my back said that I was an outspoken person who was related to the Pope. If my Majesty dies in the future, I may not be able to stay here. That’s it. Maybe they will fabricate different charges in order to eliminate me. If it is the new captain, considering the order of the captains of the four sides, Mr. Juliu from the east team should be in charge.”
"The man with the crescent wound?"
"Anything interesting?"
Yake asked back.
"If you want to explain it, let's talk about yours first."
"Ah, this—I heard it from the High Priest Hanti. It is said that my impostor who fled with the Dragon King after burning down the library seems to have taken some precious magic books of holy magic, so even if I use holy magic I don’t think it’s genuine either. As for the difference in body color of the Dragon King, those of us who don’t understand phantom beasts at all, can’t judge that it’s another dragon just because of the difference in body color.”
"Do you believe these words?"
"On the face of it."
The two looked at each other and smiled.
Because of the fragrance of her hair that keeps emitting, she is not in the mood to say anything unnecessary, but only learned from the tone of Yan Lie King's spying on Juliu.
In order for the Dragon King to make a conclusion, Yake informed the religious order.As for what conclusions will be drawn based on this, it is impossible for Saifad, who is the agent of Ulan Pok, to do anything that is not good for the pledger.
If it is only judged in terms of politics, compared to Ur, who is still young and has a sense of justice, King Yanlie, who is familiar with the world, can be said to be extremely cunning.
King Yanlie's eyes looked at Felicia, who was thinking about herself.
"It's okay if I make some trouble."
"Is it causing anxiety? But because I don't know anything, I don't understand why the trouble is. The wine is brought, don't you want to drink some calming spirit? What a pity! Doesn't Yake also drink?"
"That's enough. Did the Sorcerer King only burn down the library?"
"That's a relatively small statement. The loss of the entire collection of books has caused a lot of damage. I heard that since then, the librarian has lost the energy to live. Even if he eats, he just swallows it and can't sleep. The fake pretending to be you is quite smart. All the important places were completely destroyed, the face of the church and knights was almost gone, and the commotion caused was similar to when you arrived. It is said that the captain of the south team who was in charge of guarding and guarding the Great Temple, and the head priest who burned the famous painting in front of his eyes , can’t fall asleep like the librarian.”
"Are there two people who can't sleep? Then I beat the impostors."
Dragon King, who settled a bottle of wine early, was proud of the ridiculous result.
"My heart aches, Fern. One of the important purposes of my coming here is to obtain the ultimate incantation of holy magic. I'm afraid Dandario has already seen through this."
Although I don't regret that in order to get the "lost secret method" related to the Eudemons in King Light's tower first, I temporarily put aside my friends from the Holy Union Army and made a trip.But now being defeated by the Demon King is very, very frustrating.
To her friend who looked rather regretful, Felicia showed a malicious smile that could not be called a lady.
"You can brag about fakes. Because the most important magic books among the treasured forbidden books are not in the special library in the library. Those and many other treasures are hidden in the treasure house of the order whose keys are managed by your majesty. The cover is Made of gold, inlaid with gold, silver and precious stones, it is a useless long thing with a high artistic value. The pope of that era had other considerations when ordering it to be bound like that. He also added a spell written in sacred characters, even the contemporary Even His Majesty the Pope can’t read the incomparably powerful spell.”
"Great. Please allow me to read it during the audience."
"It's best to bring it up only when you're with Your Majesty. If you can read spells, but you can't read them, let the high priests know. It's not good for the Pope. Don't imitate and take offensive actions in front of your companions. Treasure Your Majesty’s lover, Mrs. Braley, also has the key to the library. If it’s a one-on-one request, it’s definitely okay to tell her.”
"Is it the treasury where the sect's treasure is stored?"
"The ma'am call it the great jewel chest. She's a huge admirer of Yark and will gladly bring it."
Mrs. Braley, who is the pope's lover of unknown generations, is not yet 50 years old.Of course it can't be Fern's grandmother, but they are both women, but their personalities are unexpectedly similar, and the relationship is quite good.
In the tea party in the wife's private room, the main female officials gathered, and the female priests also showed their faces.Although most of the important positions in the church headquarters are held by men, they secretly exchange information and cultivate a sense of unity out of mutual curiosity and in order to protect themselves.
Sensing the look of embarrassment on her friend's face, the female knight added.
"Don't worry. In the treasury, there are priests in charge, who record the loan records in detail. There are also guarding paladins stationed there, so you don't have to worry about being involved in troublesome incidents such as suspicion of missing treasures. If you want to talk about harm, Take the feelings of the mistress of the palace with one hand, and say please. Do you understand? Many men make stupid women and children partners in advance, just for important times!"
Felicia, who was talking happily, appealed to her friend seriously with her eyes.
Thinking of Crotia who stayed at the base and was able to work, Yakanzel nodded deeply with a mixed sense of reality.
The audience with the Pope was held in a rectangular hall.
Viewed from the window, the room with tapestries hanging from the high ceiling to all the walls will not feel particularly oppressive thanks to the relationship between the bright outdoor scene weaving.
The ceiling is decorated with solidified golden picture frames, each of which depicts stories that happened in the past.
Opposite the door, the Pope sat in front of the seat, while the great priests, the captains of the Paladins, and the central staff of the headquarters of the order stood on both sides, welcoming Arkenjell to enter.
On the day he and King Yanlie arrived, Monica, the only female priest who was not in the nunnery, also appeared today.
The head priest and the leader of the south side of the Paladins, who Felicia said seemed to have lost the strength to live and couldn't sleep, were also gathered here.
It may be at this moment that the strict investigation of responsibility is temporarily suspended.Yake seems to be right.
If it was the era of paladins, I would be nervous because I was surrounded by these people grandly!
But the current him, who has a lot of combat experience including the mercenary era, has only contemptuous feelings for these people when it comes to the power struggle in a narrow organization.
At the moment when the Phantom Beastmasters gave up their lives many times and tried their best to maintain the balance between the two worlds, the people in the headquarters of the religious group should also go outside to compete with other people, and they would definitely lose their composure in front of the other party.
Facing the old impression of the Pope who was about to come in the form he remembered, Yaconjell half knelt down and bowed his head.
"Phantom Beast King. How dare you be rude in front of me!"
The trembling voice of Knight Commander Belluno rang above his head.Unlike the domineering words, there was no masking the terror in his voice.
Now Priest Obiduo, who is the head of the Great Temple of Yan Dynasty, lost the power struggle with Priest Hahnti and was sent to the countryside. The head of the Kanigam Knights who had a close relationship with him also lost the head of the Knights of the order. status.
Belluno, who replaced Kanigam as Knight Leader, belonged to Harnty's faction.For Belluno, like Hanti, the appearance of the dragon king who is the guardian of Yake only feels a sense of threat.
The sense of terror he feels now is shared by all the people here.King Yanlie, who was standing not far behind Yake, never showed the original appearance of the Dragon King before entering this hall.
Even Yake, who is used to it, feels a considerable sense of oppression behind him. People who saw the King of Monsters for the first time can only restrain themselves from escaping.
Living creatures with huge bodies and powerful magical powers, and "yin" qi that are incompatible with themselves, people in the Yang world feel uneasy for no reason.
"Disrespectful? What are you saying? It's up to human beings to believe what they want, but Eudemons don't have gods. Not to mention the dragon of dragons, the king of all Eudemons, I bow my head. If you do anything, you must investigate etiquette. , then you have to take responsibility for angering me.”
Yake was fascinated by King Yanlie's indifferent and arrogant words.
There was a silent ruthlessness hidden in the voice, and the back trembled when he heard it.
Not so much the acting as the character of Syphad is quite multifaceted.From a frivolous street man to a ruthless overlord, there is no contradiction between these two personalities lurking in his body.
──If you usually do this, you will respect him sincerely like King Raiga...
The Pope, who was wearing a yellow robe, stood up from his gorgeous chair and spoke to the Dragon King with a powerful voice that didn't look like he was eighty years old.
"Please calm down, King of Monsters! This person's rudeness, I apologize on my behalf. This may be the result of the sword-wielding paladins, who want to protect the order no matter what, and unknowingly overreact. On behalf of the church All members of the regiment, I sincerely apologize, please calm down!"
Most of the people here think that the Pope's slick apology can be appeased, but the Dragon King, who didn't clearly recognize the Pope's authority at first, doesn't intend to end it.
"Speaking of which, I didn't even get an apology and explanation for the unreasonable attack when I arrived. I also didn't hear from the person in charge, Lord Hanti?"
Even if he didn't ask the pope, it was a little bit of face.
In the tense atmosphere, the high priest who was named by name turned pale.A hand in a red robe grabbed his chest fiercely, panting violently.
The other great priests took it for granted that he, who was usually the first chief priest, replied, so they remained silent.
"Mr. Harnty. I don't want to answer──"
The great priest let out a short cry and fell down before Sephad finished speaking.With a distressed expression, he pressed his chest tightly and rolled over.
Noticing something was wrong, the people around gathered and hugged him.
"Heart Attack!──"Cure"!"
High Priest Bellonarn uses the spell of recovery.
Although the tumbling stopped, the painful expression did not slow down.
The recovery magic is only effective on trauma.Chronic diseases can only relieve some pain, and when it is severe, it is still necessary to train doctors in charge of researching drugs in universities.
"Oops, hurry up and call the doctor Yu!"
The captain of the northern team of the Paladins, who received the order from the great priest Monica, saluted the Pope and quickly left the hall.
The Dragon King, unable to continue questioning, asked Felicia who was nearby.
"Mr. Harnti, do you have a heart disease?"
"I know—"
"Lord Harnti!"
Monica made a sound that was almost whining, and the Pope who had been watching stood up.
The great priest with his eyes turned white convulsed violently, and died in the arm of the leader of the knights who was holding him.
"Dead..." Bellona, who was stunned, said in a weak hoarse voice.
The hall fell into a thick silence.
The first to recover from the shock of Hannti's sudden death was the Pope.
"Captain Felicia. Order the people outside the room to guard and transport the remains of the High Priest Hanti to his room. The funeral will be held in the Great Temple tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. Determine whether it is necessary to call the funeral home. Get in touch quickly. "
"Follow your will."
The old man left the chair and approached Yake who had been half kneeling.
"Get up, Saint Alconjere."
"Yes, I haven't said anything yet..."
"I can't stay here after this. To calm down, move to my room. Braley will bring warm tea."
"Then, I accept your wish."
The young man accepted the invitation with a conservative attitude, but the Phantasmal Beast King shook his head when the Pope proposed to go together.
"I didn't expect that man to hide something just now. I'm also a man in a phantom beast. In this regard, I don't want to appear in front of a woman who is easily startled. If the person who is in charge of protecting Yake is the captain of the west team of my friend, I am fine. I'm so worried."
Surprised by his worry, the old man reassured him and thanked him.
On the other hand, Yakenjel was surprised at the audacity of Sephad, who assassinated a high priest in the presence of all the upper echelons of the order.
The Dragon King was very careful not to call anyone other than the oath-sworn person by his name.If they have Chinese character names like the royal family, there is no problem to the extent that they are called abbreviations, but they have the power to control the opponent from the moment they call their names.
Using that power Yan Lie Wang used words that he would only use when he returned to the real body, and put a strong burden on Hahn's heart.
As for the unknowing sect, Hanti died of a heart attack because of being blamed and terrified by the Phantom Beast King, so it wouldn't make people think that Yan Lie King didn't hide his original appearance.
Although Han Ti's death, the outside world may initially suspect that there is something hidden.But on this occasion, all personnel can be used as witnesses of illness and death, which is a method that cannot be commonly used, which can be said to be quite perfect.
If Hahnti is not dead, if he believes that the impostor is Yakanjieer, then he doesn't plan to kill him!
In order to obtain the position of the next pope, the existence of the saint will hinder, in the day and night power struggle, it can be said to be quite keen intuition.
For his death, Yake had no special emotion.If I didn't kill him here in advance, maybe I would lose my life unconsciously.
A small amount of sacrifice will speed up the achievement of the goal, and immediately eliminate the obstacles──.
The balance of the world cannot be destroyed again.During his two years on the battlefield, Yakenjer often regretted giving up and leaving.
Here is a hidden subtle battlefield.
In the morning of the next day, all the clergymen of Zongshan Mountain offered requiem prayers in the temple to which they belonged, for the sudden death of High Priest Hanti.
Yaconjell opened the prayer book when it was still dark before the sun rose, and began to review all the prayers.
Although the "prayer work" four times a day was exempted due to poor health, there is no reason to miss today's and tomorrow's ceremonies.
I haven't read it for nearly ten years. After a long time, I recited it and finally finished it successfully. I feel relieved.
Only the unfamiliar funeral prayers were read line by line.
Because I have no experience in participating in the funeral of a great priest, I had to ask the priest who is a veteran behind the scenes or the priest who is responsible for arranging the ceremony to confirm in detail.
Yake, who closed the prayer book, reflected on the troubles caused by himself and the funeral ceremony as the side of the assassin, and there was a sound from the small living room.
──Yesterday was too late, have you woken up yet?
Yesterday, Yake was invited by the Pope to his private room. When he came back to the room at night, a letter from King Yanlie was placed on the table in the living room.
Seeing the sentences written in the incomprehensible ancient language, he once again realized that he was an existence that lived thousands of years ago.
I was troubled by the use of elegant words and complicated verbs that are no longer used in the letter. Fortunately, the article was very short. I went to the street for a drink with Juliu, the captain of the eastern team of the Holy Knights. When I came back too late, I asked him to start first. by the window--
Finally know the content.
Compared with the charming and elegant articles revealed in the letter, the words spoken are completely different Dragon King, which is really a mysterious character.
I didn't know where I met, but with that character, the dragon king also had a friendly conversation with Julius, who looked like the cautious, loyal and honest man depicted in the painting.
Because of the death of Priest Hahnti, the Pope decided to replace Captain Belluno.
The damage to the front of the Great Temple and the main square is a serious matter related to the face of the religious order, but Yakenjell and King of Eudemons cannot be made to take that responsibility.
The large square where the Great Temple is arranged and the "Attack and Defense Wall" defensive spell of the palace were cast together by the five great priests.
But the reason why Yan Lie Wang was furious and destroyed was because the Paladins attacked Yake who used holy magic and seriously injured him. This responsibility was borne by the leader of the knights who gave the attack instructions.
Although according to the intention of Hanti, who is not alive, even if Belluno gives an attack order as the leader of the Knights, it will not affect the changes of the Knights.But after losing Hanti who supported him, Belluno was also dismissed from the position of head, and the new head position can be said to be determined by Juliu.
Speaking of drinking with Juliu is not only because of friendship, but also because of other considerations!
After reviewing the prayer book, Yake extinguished the fire of the candlestick and walked from the bedroom to the living room.
"Good morning. It's full morning! Former paladin."
King Yanlie, who was half lying on the sofa, raised a hand and said briskly.
He knocked lightly, and the spirit of fire lit all the candles in the living room correspondingly.
"Hello, why didn't you come back to sleep last night?"
"The great temples and palaces have concentrated yang energy, and the phantom beasts in the underworld don't feel very good, and they don't sleep well."
"Why, haven't you slept until now...!"
"Calm down. It won't matter if you don't sleep for two or three days. And I often go to the garden and the forest to take a break. Thanks to you, I met the man with the crescent moon injury, and your beautiful friend. The three of us drank tea together while Discuss what to do next."
Knowing that he was actually going out for this matter, Yake had a very strong sense of guilt towards the Huan Beast King in front of him.
"...I'm very sorry. I made you, the former Phantom Beast King, do some secret work...I..."
"That's it. You always think too much seriously! I just like it and it's suitable for secret activities! Unlike Nadia, it is not difficult to defile this mountain. It is accidental to replace it with possession magic Yes, it turned out to be the right time, and I, who is more experienced than Xiao Maotou, can be useful in this regard.”
"It's better to say that Ulan Pok's character is not in this direction."
King Yanlie, who was leaning against the rubber edge covered with cloth like a sofa, smiled wryly.
"You really know how to speak, Big Brother Beauty. The Dragon King will do everything for the pledger. Even the little boy is no exception. If you want him to be innocent forever, it is impossible."
It is really hard to imagine Ul who has two personalities of clumsy relationship with people, boyish innocence and cunning, bold masculinity at the same time.
"Ur, King Thunder Fang, and you are all too kind to me. If I exceed it, I always feel sad."
"Desire! The lead that can do anything, is hanging down by you who are good at self-denial."
"There is no self-denial in the performance that you are good at!"
Sephad's ridiculously admiring way makes Yak laugh.
"It's not too good, I was also helped by you in reverse. I want to say that I can repay it all at this level. I have done something first. The guy who killed you has been dealt with. I can maintain peace for the time being, and I can rest assured Change it with Xiao Maotou."
"Is the possession magic about to be released?"
"That's right! That's great, congratulations. It's just that the environment of the palace is not very good, so I have to go to the nearby forest to solve the curse. I have checked in advance. If I go to the deep mountain, no one will go. Within three days Xiao Maotou's body is safe. I wanted to leave a letter, but this time I want to say goodbye normally, so I wait for the beauty to get up."
Yakanjieer, who was happy to hear that Ulan Pok was coming back, suddenly lost his smile.
It is natural for Ur and Saifad to switch, but under the weight of the words of parting, it is not easy to accept happy things.
Like King Raiga, Enrye will be angry and laugh, and comfort each other's important "friends" who travel together.The pain of parting from friends who protect and fight with each other has nothing to do with the proportion of time spent together.
Sephad stood up from the sofa, still smiling innocently like a cat.
"Wow, aren't you happy? Why do you have a sad face? Last time, you called it bad at the end, but this time we can say goodbye with a good relationship. I don't know if we can meet again, but it shouldn't be unreasonable."
Saifad's bright words have a lot of room for extension.
The chances for Ulan Boke to be called to Yangjie are rare.Unless he can't deal with it, it's impossible for him to call Yan Lie King with relying magic.
"The Flame King."
"Um?"
"I will help you when you are in the most danger. For the worry you said
The building is built on the top of the mountain, and the staged garden is built into a fountain by using the height difference. The neat garden trees may get lost after entering. The flowers of different colors depict the natural green velvet, forming different surfaces.
The bottom of both sides of the courtyard is surrounded by a ㄇ-shaped forest, and hidden in the depths is the training ground for the paladins.
Based on the Great Temple, the forest in front of the palace is behind it, and there are no other hills on the way, which is one of the terrains that are quite easy for the enemy to invade.
In the forest facing the corner of the garden, Flame King Sephad was lying on the ground.
The green grass under the body and the red hair scattered on it give people a strong impression of color contrast.
His expression seemed to be sleeping, and he suddenly opened his eyes and sat up.
"The spirit of the wind and the spirit of the earth. It was a great help.──Thank you."
Alone, he spoke in a kind tone.
The ground around him shook slightly in response to his words.
The Great Shrine and the Palace of the Pope's residence concentrate the yang energy of the human beings who live in Zongbenshan.Phantom beasts belonging to the underworld will feel pain in the building of the headquarters of the religious order.Breathing is not very smooth.
After seeing off Yake, who was advised by his friend to take a bath in order to meet the Pope, they left and ran out.
However, even though he got information from Fengling and Earthling, his confusion deepened.
Feng Sakapu, a doctor-level magician, had gathered the names of wind and earth elves before, and neighboring countries have made preparations for new wars.
However, the sequelae of casting such a large spell and the excessive concentration of specific spirits are that the natural balance is in danger of collapsing.
Thunder Fang King Alphador used the ultimate spell of wind spirit magic to destroy the city. As a result, a small tornado was locally generated, and the sand suddenly fell. The city maintained a wonderful weather for two or three days.
It was the mantra he chanted of the thunder dragon, which was specially protected by the wind spirit, and it was still at this level.
──Those doctor-level magicians really did this after fully understanding the consequences...
Saifad, who was thinking about things, didn't notice the interrogation of the humans walking from the forest.
"Come here, who! Where did you come in from?"
He looked up and saw two paladins running from the end of the forest road.
The two young paladins stopped nearby and put their hands on the hilts around their waists.
Another paladin outside the questioning voice just now looked down at the Dragon King sitting on the grass and scolded loudly.
"You bastard, do you know what this is?"
"I don't know who it is, but you call me a scumbag. I didn't expect a watchdog to be funny, so you can say something like that!"
From the unreasonable attack when he arrived, Yan Lie Wang had a bad impression of the Paladins.He returned to his black attire, showing a thin smile.
The paladin felt humiliated by the overwhelming momentum of his unarmed opponent, and drew his sword.
"Slow down!"
There was a sharp stop sound from behind the two of them.
"I don't know the situation yet, so I'm going to make a move?"
"team leader……"
The black-haired man approaching middle age accused the two young men who had stepped out.
Sephad opened his eyes and looked into the man's bright blue pupils.
"This, Your Majesty the Phantasmal Beast King...! Immature subordinates are too rude. I, the leader of the eastern team of the Holy Knight Order, will give these two guys a severe punishment in the future. I hope you can agree to let me punish them. .”
"Phantom Beast...Dragon King...!"
The two young paladins whimpered and wanted to run away.
The Dragon King walked up to the two with ill intentions as if he was going to chase them.
Unable to bear the sense of terror, the two turned around and wanted to escape, but were startled by the captain's sharp voice.
"Stop! From now on, if you still plan to escape, take one step and return the sword bestowed by His Majesty. The Holy Knights don't need cowards."
"It's the captain after all. The other people are always thinking of cannibalism. To be honest, the constant disrespect towards the Holy Knights is quite disgusting. If you answer my question, I won't do anything."
"I will tell you everything I can answer with my authority. I am Juliu, the king of all monsters."
"Although I am the King of Phantom Beasts, I am the former king. The current King of Phantom Beasts is a black-haired brat like you. I was requested by the present generation to be the guardian of Yake, the swearer, but I will change it back soon. Let me tell you first. One sound."
The captain couldn't understand why the young dragon king in front of him abdicated, but he, who was not a phantom beast, seemed unqualified to ask this question.
Saifad looked at the opponent's capable face with a scorching sun-like gaze, and suddenly cut to the point.
"The Holy Knights guarding the Great Temple intends to kill Ark who uses holy magic. Does the counterfeit also use holy magic?"
"The security of the Great Temple is guarded by the south team and the north team. I can't answer you for the east team."
"Would you attack if you were on guard?"
"Assumptions are useless."
King Yanlie understood that the captain who was looking directly at him was difficult to deal with, so he changed the problem.
"Who is the leader of the holy knights in charge of the four teams of East, West, North and South? He is the successor after Yake's teacher Kanigam left. Which faction of the great priest is that guy? Can you answer this question!"
"The word faction is not appropriate in the religious order....As far as I know, the head of Belluno is very much in need of High Priest Hahnti. Regarding this matter, Lord Arkenjell is also the same. Think of it this way!"
In short, it seems that there is no level of information other than what Yake knows, and Saifad hastily dismissed the idea of seeking from this man.But it seems that it is annoying that it is gone like this, and I intend to tease the other party a little.
"My lord? At your age, you know the age of Yake when he was a paladin, right? Why do you still call him "My lord"?"
"It is disrespectful to abandon the title of a saint recognized by His Majesty."
The Dragon King, who was defeated by an army, couldn't help but get angry.
"He looks very straightforward. But he's full of lies~"
Feeling that the captain was insulted, the two people behind couldn't help but change their expressions, but after being coldly glanced at by the Dragon King, they immediately froze in place.
The Dragon King, who dismissed the small miscellaneous fish with just his eyes, said in a bright tone.
"Yes, there is nothing wrong with it. But why do you protect yourself with such a strong armor?"
The sarcasm that Saifad uttered seemed to reach Juliu's body for the first time, and the blue eyes lowered thoughtfully.
Under the left eye, there is a small old scar on the cheekbone.The white crescents floating on the wheat-colored skin are very conspicuous.
The dragon king slowly stretched out his right hand, touched the mark with his fingertips, and the paladin quickly grabbed the opponent's wrist.
Although he didn't speak, he glared with a stern expression.
The dragon king's amber eyes looked at the blue eyes of the dark-haired human.
"Does the old injury matter?"
"Suddenly being touched on the face by others, it would be ridiculous if you don't care!"
"Others? I'm a phantom beast, not a human?"
Even though he was caught, the Dragon King, who was not wearing a weapon, showed no panic, and showed a big cat-like smile in a good mood.
After the distance, Juliu opened his mouth.
"The same Dragon King is quite different. An arrogant attitude will not be favored, and a fake person is more like a king."
"The king you're talking about is the king of humans. Dragon kings are quite proud. Even kings don't bow their heads, and even becoming kings has nothing to be proud of. The fake guy is just hiding his disgust for humans."
"Aversion to humans?"
"Do you think human beings are creatures that are unconditionally loved by the Dragon King?"
The captain of the east team lowered his eyes again and said in a low voice.
"The arrogant side is okay. You are very spicy."
"Really? I divide people into likes and dislikes. But I really like that scar, so I tried to put you into the side I like. But you are wearing armor, so it seems very hard. So use things to test it two or three times, Did it go in a little?"
Juliu, who was successfully counterattacked, covered his face with one hand and was temporarily speechless.
After a while, he raised his face with a small sigh.
"As a result of accumulating severe training, human beings are still weak-hearted creatures. They cannot control malicious things that pose a danger to their own foothold. In particular, there is only one position at the top, and the existence of the things in front of them is not sure for saints. It cannot be leniently tolerated.”
"Um……"
"Please inform Yake. I don't think it's a good thing for him to stay here for a long time."
In front of his subordinates, he walked away in order to protect himself and muttered to himself, but this man's strong blue eyes did not show any humiliation.
The red-haired dragon king placed a hand on the paladin's broad shoulders with affection.
"After all, they are people who protect each other. ──There will be an audience with the Pope, and I will be with Yake, but will I see you and the high priests?"
"Yes. All the main characters will gather there."
"Really? Then, I look forward to seeing you again."
Before he finished speaking, the wings of red skin stretched out from the back of Saifad.
Before the words were over, the wings of the red skin spread to Sephad's back.
Juliu pressed his left cheek and stared at the phantom beast floating in the air.Astonished at the inhuman wings, the finger pointed again to the scar under the eye.
"king!"
"Don't pay so much attention to your crescent scar. At least increase your manliness by [-]%."
The Dragon King, who was laughing happily above, turned his body gracefully in the air and flew towards the palace.
The paladins who were thrown down silently watched the red figure who left in an instant.
Yuuli caressed the scar that Saifad liked and smiled wryly.
──[-]% more masculinity....It's really unexpected to be said so, this benefit is really unexpected, realistic man.
This wound was suddenly scratched by him when he was teaching the swordsmanship of Yakenjell, who was a boy when he was an apprentice paladin.
Where the blade was scratched, although the healing spell was used, scars remained.
Innate talent──.
With a flashing sword speed, he should have been a paladin with the same level of magic power as a monk, but Yake was able to use priest-level holy magic.
Like his talent, while symbolizing himself seems to be refracted by his talent, yet purified by his laugh.
If it was the Dragon King, he would be able to perceive what Juliu really wanted to say.
The talent that was loved by the four-faced god and the dragon king was lost because of the ambition of a mediocre man wearing the clothes of a priest, which is an irreparable loss for the sect.
Sephad, who entered the living room of his assigned room through the pre-opened window, was not surprised that Yakanjar hadn't returned yet.
I'm afraid the female knight who went with me is very excited, so let's dress up as a beautiful friend!
Sitting in an upholstered chair, contemplating the landscape painting adorning the fireplace, and placing one's feet indecently on the finely carved table.
"...A little older, but she is a beauty worthy of Jacques, the eldest daughter of the former first princess of the capital, and the granddaughter of the pope? Even if she is a policy marriage partner, there is nothing to criticize."
King Yanlie commented on Felicia, followed by fierce rejection as expected.
Saifad, who hit reality in a row, seemed to be slipping off the chair, and hurriedly grabbed the handle of the chair.
"Why so suddenly, idiot! This is just my own words."
After staying silent for a while, after listening to Ulan Pok's argument that no one else could hear, he lowered his feet from the table and moaned fiercely.
"This stupid kid, what a strange dream! Hey, a good man and a good woman are together, and it is the job of the living to give birth to excellent children. If it weren't for me and the Demon King to do this job well, you and Yake I won’t be alive now.... A brat who hasn’t even come into heat yet has no right to say anything.”
Deep in his chest, the contemporary Phantom Beast King retorted forcefully, but Yan Lie King was also uncharacteristically tough.
"There's nothing wrong with it! Ancestors say it!"
With a stern conclusion, the door to the corridor opened.
"Hey, is anyone there? There seems to be a commotion. In the corridor, I heard roaring."
The paladin, the leader of the west team who guarded the Pope's palace with the east team, showed his face through the crack of the door with incredible writing on his face.
And he took the hand of the tired and weary Yakanzel into the room.
He had embroidery around the collar and cuffs, with pearls and precious stones sewn on, and he wore a blue tunic.A blouse with a length of about ten feet of fabric looks heavy just like that.
Underneath is a thin silk gown woven with intricate insignia patterns similar to the priest's robe, and a paladin uniform made of high-grade fabrics of different textures is also worn inside──It seems to be a compromise between priests and paladins .
Saifad couldn't help asking.
"Isn't this hot?"
"This is the result of the hard work of all the female officials inside! King, please call it beauty beyond the world."
Biak was faster, Feliette inserted into it unpreparedly to answer the Monster King.
In order to keep her baggy blouse from wrinkling, she asked her friend, who had no energy to speak, to sit on a chair without a back.
Shrinking from the strong fragrance of roses, King Yanlie criticized conservatively.
"It's very beautiful... But do you have to get it from head to toe? Even without these decorations, Yake is still a special beauty!"
The lustrous platinum long hair was stubbornly combed, with a little decoration on it, tied with a belt, fixed in several places with small golden flowers, and the rest of the long hair was draped over the back of the large jacket like flowing water .
"Beauty, ordinary women don't dress up like this, do they? And Yake's health is not very good now. It's heavy, hot and difficult to walk. It's a triple pain."
"Your mouth is so sweet, king of phantom beasts. St. Alconjere is very popular among women and children in the human world. Not only the ladies and maids, but also the main staff of the nunnery. The embodiment of the mercy of the four-faced god is almost moved by tears. For women, compared with the great old man, they worship the peerless and beautiful young man who is kind and smiling, and are fascinated by him. The information network of women is very powerful. Almost Tianhou, even the maids of the small inn will proudly recite the words of the holy man who appears as beautiful as the four-faced god riding a dragon to the guests on the pilgrimage. And those pilgrims will also publicize what they have seen and heard in the Holy Land on their return trip everything of."
"...beautiful four-faced god?"
Something like four faces and eight arms would be beautiful, but Sephad didn't say it in front of Feliette.
Yake weakly protested to his friend.
"...It is extremely disrespectful to compare me as a human being to the supreme beauty of a god."
"Isn't it good? Let me give you an impression first. It's not just swords and magic that have the power to conquer the world."
"Is that so. Let the legend spread for free?──You look bad. Do you want a drink to refresh yourself before the audience?"
"Would you like wine?──I wonder if there is something wrong with my nose, is it just my hair that smells?"
The incarnation of the Dragon King frowned slightly.
"My nose should be stronger than a human, and the perfume I blow on seems to be very strong."
"It's also called a perfume bath. At the beginning, I almost thought that I would be fainted by the strong smell and drown."
"Huh... I sympathize with you."
King Enere, who asked Felicia to take the glass, saw the young man's expression return to normal, and began to ask the returning female knight questions.
"If the current knight leader is dismissed, will you be replaced as leader?"
"Oh, it's hard even if I'm your granddaughter. When I was appointed as the captain of the west team, someone behind my back said that I was an outspoken person who was related to the Pope. If my Majesty dies in the future, I may not be able to stay here. That’s it. Maybe they will fabricate different charges in order to eliminate me. If it is the new captain, considering the order of the captains of the four sides, Mr. Juliu from the east team should be in charge.”
"The man with the crescent wound?"
"Anything interesting?"
Yake asked back.
"If you want to explain it, let's talk about yours first."
"Ah, this—I heard it from the High Priest Hanti. It is said that my impostor who fled with the Dragon King after burning down the library seems to have taken some precious magic books of holy magic, so even if I use holy magic I don’t think it’s genuine either. As for the difference in body color of the Dragon King, those of us who don’t understand phantom beasts at all, can’t judge that it’s another dragon just because of the difference in body color.”
"Do you believe these words?"
"On the face of it."
The two looked at each other and smiled.
Because of the fragrance of her hair that keeps emitting, she is not in the mood to say anything unnecessary, but only learned from the tone of Yan Lie King's spying on Juliu.
In order for the Dragon King to make a conclusion, Yake informed the religious order.As for what conclusions will be drawn based on this, it is impossible for Saifad, who is the agent of Ulan Pok, to do anything that is not good for the pledger.
If it is only judged in terms of politics, compared to Ur, who is still young and has a sense of justice, King Yanlie, who is familiar with the world, can be said to be extremely cunning.
King Yanlie's eyes looked at Felicia, who was thinking about herself.
"It's okay if I make some trouble."
"Is it causing anxiety? But because I don't know anything, I don't understand why the trouble is. The wine is brought, don't you want to drink some calming spirit? What a pity! Doesn't Yake also drink?"
"That's enough. Did the Sorcerer King only burn down the library?"
"That's a relatively small statement. The loss of the entire collection of books has caused a lot of damage. I heard that since then, the librarian has lost the energy to live. Even if he eats, he just swallows it and can't sleep. The fake pretending to be you is quite smart. All the important places were completely destroyed, the face of the church and knights was almost gone, and the commotion caused was similar to when you arrived. It is said that the captain of the south team who was in charge of guarding and guarding the Great Temple, and the head priest who burned the famous painting in front of his eyes , can’t fall asleep like the librarian.”
"Are there two people who can't sleep? Then I beat the impostors."
Dragon King, who settled a bottle of wine early, was proud of the ridiculous result.
"My heart aches, Fern. One of the important purposes of my coming here is to obtain the ultimate incantation of holy magic. I'm afraid Dandario has already seen through this."
Although I don't regret that in order to get the "lost secret method" related to the Eudemons in King Light's tower first, I temporarily put aside my friends from the Holy Union Army and made a trip.But now being defeated by the Demon King is very, very frustrating.
To her friend who looked rather regretful, Felicia showed a malicious smile that could not be called a lady.
"You can brag about fakes. Because the most important magic books among the treasured forbidden books are not in the special library in the library. Those and many other treasures are hidden in the treasure house of the order whose keys are managed by your majesty. The cover is Made of gold, inlaid with gold, silver and precious stones, it is a useless long thing with a high artistic value. The pope of that era had other considerations when ordering it to be bound like that. He also added a spell written in sacred characters, even the contemporary Even His Majesty the Pope can’t read the incomparably powerful spell.”
"Great. Please allow me to read it during the audience."
"It's best to bring it up only when you're with Your Majesty. If you can read spells, but you can't read them, let the high priests know. It's not good for the Pope. Don't imitate and take offensive actions in front of your companions. Treasure Your Majesty’s lover, Mrs. Braley, also has the key to the library. If it’s a one-on-one request, it’s definitely okay to tell her.”
"Is it the treasury where the sect's treasure is stored?"
"The ma'am call it the great jewel chest. She's a huge admirer of Yark and will gladly bring it."
Mrs. Braley, who is the pope's lover of unknown generations, is not yet 50 years old.Of course it can't be Fern's grandmother, but they are both women, but their personalities are unexpectedly similar, and the relationship is quite good.
In the tea party in the wife's private room, the main female officials gathered, and the female priests also showed their faces.Although most of the important positions in the church headquarters are held by men, they secretly exchange information and cultivate a sense of unity out of mutual curiosity and in order to protect themselves.
Sensing the look of embarrassment on her friend's face, the female knight added.
"Don't worry. In the treasury, there are priests in charge, who record the loan records in detail. There are also guarding paladins stationed there, so you don't have to worry about being involved in troublesome incidents such as suspicion of missing treasures. If you want to talk about harm, Take the feelings of the mistress of the palace with one hand, and say please. Do you understand? Many men make stupid women and children partners in advance, just for important times!"
Felicia, who was talking happily, appealed to her friend seriously with her eyes.
Thinking of Crotia who stayed at the base and was able to work, Yakanzel nodded deeply with a mixed sense of reality.
The audience with the Pope was held in a rectangular hall.
Viewed from the window, the room with tapestries hanging from the high ceiling to all the walls will not feel particularly oppressive thanks to the relationship between the bright outdoor scene weaving.
The ceiling is decorated with solidified golden picture frames, each of which depicts stories that happened in the past.
Opposite the door, the Pope sat in front of the seat, while the great priests, the captains of the Paladins, and the central staff of the headquarters of the order stood on both sides, welcoming Arkenjell to enter.
On the day he and King Yanlie arrived, Monica, the only female priest who was not in the nunnery, also appeared today.
The head priest and the leader of the south side of the Paladins, who Felicia said seemed to have lost the strength to live and couldn't sleep, were also gathered here.
It may be at this moment that the strict investigation of responsibility is temporarily suspended.Yake seems to be right.
If it was the era of paladins, I would be nervous because I was surrounded by these people grandly!
But the current him, who has a lot of combat experience including the mercenary era, has only contemptuous feelings for these people when it comes to the power struggle in a narrow organization.
At the moment when the Phantom Beastmasters gave up their lives many times and tried their best to maintain the balance between the two worlds, the people in the headquarters of the religious group should also go outside to compete with other people, and they would definitely lose their composure in front of the other party.
Facing the old impression of the Pope who was about to come in the form he remembered, Yaconjell half knelt down and bowed his head.
"Phantom Beast King. How dare you be rude in front of me!"
The trembling voice of Knight Commander Belluno rang above his head.Unlike the domineering words, there was no masking the terror in his voice.
Now Priest Obiduo, who is the head of the Great Temple of Yan Dynasty, lost the power struggle with Priest Hahnti and was sent to the countryside. The head of the Kanigam Knights who had a close relationship with him also lost the head of the Knights of the order. status.
Belluno, who replaced Kanigam as Knight Leader, belonged to Harnty's faction.For Belluno, like Hanti, the appearance of the dragon king who is the guardian of Yake only feels a sense of threat.
The sense of terror he feels now is shared by all the people here.King Yanlie, who was standing not far behind Yake, never showed the original appearance of the Dragon King before entering this hall.
Even Yake, who is used to it, feels a considerable sense of oppression behind him. People who saw the King of Monsters for the first time can only restrain themselves from escaping.
Living creatures with huge bodies and powerful magical powers, and "yin" qi that are incompatible with themselves, people in the Yang world feel uneasy for no reason.
"Disrespectful? What are you saying? It's up to human beings to believe what they want, but Eudemons don't have gods. Not to mention the dragon of dragons, the king of all Eudemons, I bow my head. If you do anything, you must investigate etiquette. , then you have to take responsibility for angering me.”
Yake was fascinated by King Yanlie's indifferent and arrogant words.
There was a silent ruthlessness hidden in the voice, and the back trembled when he heard it.
Not so much the acting as the character of Syphad is quite multifaceted.From a frivolous street man to a ruthless overlord, there is no contradiction between these two personalities lurking in his body.
──If you usually do this, you will respect him sincerely like King Raiga...
The Pope, who was wearing a yellow robe, stood up from his gorgeous chair and spoke to the Dragon King with a powerful voice that didn't look like he was eighty years old.
"Please calm down, King of Monsters! This person's rudeness, I apologize on my behalf. This may be the result of the sword-wielding paladins, who want to protect the order no matter what, and unknowingly overreact. On behalf of the church All members of the regiment, I sincerely apologize, please calm down!"
Most of the people here think that the Pope's slick apology can be appeased, but the Dragon King, who didn't clearly recognize the Pope's authority at first, doesn't intend to end it.
"Speaking of which, I didn't even get an apology and explanation for the unreasonable attack when I arrived. I also didn't hear from the person in charge, Lord Hanti?"
Even if he didn't ask the pope, it was a little bit of face.
In the tense atmosphere, the high priest who was named by name turned pale.A hand in a red robe grabbed his chest fiercely, panting violently.
The other great priests took it for granted that he, who was usually the first chief priest, replied, so they remained silent.
"Mr. Harnty. I don't want to answer──"
The great priest let out a short cry and fell down before Sephad finished speaking.With a distressed expression, he pressed his chest tightly and rolled over.
Noticing something was wrong, the people around gathered and hugged him.
"Heart Attack!──"Cure"!"
High Priest Bellonarn uses the spell of recovery.
Although the tumbling stopped, the painful expression did not slow down.
The recovery magic is only effective on trauma.Chronic diseases can only relieve some pain, and when it is severe, it is still necessary to train doctors in charge of researching drugs in universities.
"Oops, hurry up and call the doctor Yu!"
The captain of the northern team of the Paladins, who received the order from the great priest Monica, saluted the Pope and quickly left the hall.
The Dragon King, unable to continue questioning, asked Felicia who was nearby.
"Mr. Harnti, do you have a heart disease?"
"I know—"
"Lord Harnti!"
Monica made a sound that was almost whining, and the Pope who had been watching stood up.
The great priest with his eyes turned white convulsed violently, and died in the arm of the leader of the knights who was holding him.
"Dead..." Bellona, who was stunned, said in a weak hoarse voice.
The hall fell into a thick silence.
The first to recover from the shock of Hannti's sudden death was the Pope.
"Captain Felicia. Order the people outside the room to guard and transport the remains of the High Priest Hanti to his room. The funeral will be held in the Great Temple tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. Determine whether it is necessary to call the funeral home. Get in touch quickly. "
"Follow your will."
The old man left the chair and approached Yake who had been half kneeling.
"Get up, Saint Alconjere."
"Yes, I haven't said anything yet..."
"I can't stay here after this. To calm down, move to my room. Braley will bring warm tea."
"Then, I accept your wish."
The young man accepted the invitation with a conservative attitude, but the Phantasmal Beast King shook his head when the Pope proposed to go together.
"I didn't expect that man to hide something just now. I'm also a man in a phantom beast. In this regard, I don't want to appear in front of a woman who is easily startled. If the person who is in charge of protecting Yake is the captain of the west team of my friend, I am fine. I'm so worried."
Surprised by his worry, the old man reassured him and thanked him.
On the other hand, Yakenjel was surprised at the audacity of Sephad, who assassinated a high priest in the presence of all the upper echelons of the order.
The Dragon King was very careful not to call anyone other than the oath-sworn person by his name.If they have Chinese character names like the royal family, there is no problem to the extent that they are called abbreviations, but they have the power to control the opponent from the moment they call their names.
Using that power Yan Lie Wang used words that he would only use when he returned to the real body, and put a strong burden on Hahn's heart.
As for the unknowing sect, Hanti died of a heart attack because of being blamed and terrified by the Phantom Beast King, so it wouldn't make people think that Yan Lie King didn't hide his original appearance.
Although Han Ti's death, the outside world may initially suspect that there is something hidden.But on this occasion, all personnel can be used as witnesses of illness and death, which is a method that cannot be commonly used, which can be said to be quite perfect.
If Hahnti is not dead, if he believes that the impostor is Yakanjieer, then he doesn't plan to kill him!
In order to obtain the position of the next pope, the existence of the saint will hinder, in the day and night power struggle, it can be said to be quite keen intuition.
For his death, Yake had no special emotion.If I didn't kill him here in advance, maybe I would lose my life unconsciously.
A small amount of sacrifice will speed up the achievement of the goal, and immediately eliminate the obstacles──.
The balance of the world cannot be destroyed again.During his two years on the battlefield, Yakenjer often regretted giving up and leaving.
Here is a hidden subtle battlefield.
In the morning of the next day, all the clergymen of Zongshan Mountain offered requiem prayers in the temple to which they belonged, for the sudden death of High Priest Hanti.
Yaconjell opened the prayer book when it was still dark before the sun rose, and began to review all the prayers.
Although the "prayer work" four times a day was exempted due to poor health, there is no reason to miss today's and tomorrow's ceremonies.
I haven't read it for nearly ten years. After a long time, I recited it and finally finished it successfully. I feel relieved.
Only the unfamiliar funeral prayers were read line by line.
Because I have no experience in participating in the funeral of a great priest, I had to ask the priest who is a veteran behind the scenes or the priest who is responsible for arranging the ceremony to confirm in detail.
Yake, who closed the prayer book, reflected on the troubles caused by himself and the funeral ceremony as the side of the assassin, and there was a sound from the small living room.
──Yesterday was too late, have you woken up yet?
Yesterday, Yake was invited by the Pope to his private room. When he came back to the room at night, a letter from King Yanlie was placed on the table in the living room.
Seeing the sentences written in the incomprehensible ancient language, he once again realized that he was an existence that lived thousands of years ago.
I was troubled by the use of elegant words and complicated verbs that are no longer used in the letter. Fortunately, the article was very short. I went to the street for a drink with Juliu, the captain of the eastern team of the Holy Knights. When I came back too late, I asked him to start first. by the window--
Finally know the content.
Compared with the charming and elegant articles revealed in the letter, the words spoken are completely different Dragon King, which is really a mysterious character.
I didn't know where I met, but with that character, the dragon king also had a friendly conversation with Julius, who looked like the cautious, loyal and honest man depicted in the painting.
Because of the death of Priest Hahnti, the Pope decided to replace Captain Belluno.
The damage to the front of the Great Temple and the main square is a serious matter related to the face of the religious order, but Yakenjell and King of Eudemons cannot be made to take that responsibility.
The large square where the Great Temple is arranged and the "Attack and Defense Wall" defensive spell of the palace were cast together by the five great priests.
But the reason why Yan Lie Wang was furious and destroyed was because the Paladins attacked Yake who used holy magic and seriously injured him. This responsibility was borne by the leader of the knights who gave the attack instructions.
Although according to the intention of Hanti, who is not alive, even if Belluno gives an attack order as the leader of the Knights, it will not affect the changes of the Knights.But after losing Hanti who supported him, Belluno was also dismissed from the position of head, and the new head position can be said to be determined by Juliu.
Speaking of drinking with Juliu is not only because of friendship, but also because of other considerations!
After reviewing the prayer book, Yake extinguished the fire of the candlestick and walked from the bedroom to the living room.
"Good morning. It's full morning! Former paladin."
King Yanlie, who was half lying on the sofa, raised a hand and said briskly.
He knocked lightly, and the spirit of fire lit all the candles in the living room correspondingly.
"Hello, why didn't you come back to sleep last night?"
"The great temples and palaces have concentrated yang energy, and the phantom beasts in the underworld don't feel very good, and they don't sleep well."
"Why, haven't you slept until now...!"
"Calm down. It won't matter if you don't sleep for two or three days. And I often go to the garden and the forest to take a break. Thanks to you, I met the man with the crescent moon injury, and your beautiful friend. The three of us drank tea together while Discuss what to do next."
Knowing that he was actually going out for this matter, Yake had a very strong sense of guilt towards the Huan Beast King in front of him.
"...I'm very sorry. I made you, the former Phantom Beast King, do some secret work...I..."
"That's it. You always think too much seriously! I just like it and it's suitable for secret activities! Unlike Nadia, it is not difficult to defile this mountain. It is accidental to replace it with possession magic Yes, it turned out to be the right time, and I, who is more experienced than Xiao Maotou, can be useful in this regard.”
"It's better to say that Ulan Pok's character is not in this direction."
King Yanlie, who was leaning against the rubber edge covered with cloth like a sofa, smiled wryly.
"You really know how to speak, Big Brother Beauty. The Dragon King will do everything for the pledger. Even the little boy is no exception. If you want him to be innocent forever, it is impossible."
It is really hard to imagine Ul who has two personalities of clumsy relationship with people, boyish innocence and cunning, bold masculinity at the same time.
"Ur, King Thunder Fang, and you are all too kind to me. If I exceed it, I always feel sad."
"Desire! The lead that can do anything, is hanging down by you who are good at self-denial."
"There is no self-denial in the performance that you are good at!"
Sephad's ridiculously admiring way makes Yak laugh.
"It's not too good, I was also helped by you in reverse. I want to say that I can repay it all at this level. I have done something first. The guy who killed you has been dealt with. I can maintain peace for the time being, and I can rest assured Change it with Xiao Maotou."
"Is the possession magic about to be released?"
"That's right! That's great, congratulations. It's just that the environment of the palace is not very good, so I have to go to the nearby forest to solve the curse. I have checked in advance. If I go to the deep mountain, no one will go. Within three days Xiao Maotou's body is safe. I wanted to leave a letter, but this time I want to say goodbye normally, so I wait for the beauty to get up."
Yakanjieer, who was happy to hear that Ulan Pok was coming back, suddenly lost his smile.
It is natural for Ur and Saifad to switch, but under the weight of the words of parting, it is not easy to accept happy things.
Like King Raiga, Enrye will be angry and laugh, and comfort each other's important "friends" who travel together.The pain of parting from friends who protect and fight with each other has nothing to do with the proportion of time spent together.
Sephad stood up from the sofa, still smiling innocently like a cat.
"Wow, aren't you happy? Why do you have a sad face? Last time, you called it bad at the end, but this time we can say goodbye with a good relationship. I don't know if we can meet again, but it shouldn't be unreasonable."
Saifad's bright words have a lot of room for extension.
The chances for Ulan Boke to be called to Yangjie are rare.Unless he can't deal with it, it's impossible for him to call Yan Lie King with relying magic.
"The Flame King."
"Um?"
"I will help you when you are in the most danger. For the worry you said
