The Escort Knight Who Is Being Obsessed Over by the Villainess Wants To Run Away

16. The center of the great flow (8)

“Tell me more.”

Gaston bit his lip.

I never thought I would even talk about this.

However, I have no choice but to live.

There is nothing more important than a person’s life.

Meanwhile, the wizard Balls was taken aback by the confession.

“Bo, Bordeaux… ?! You? No wonder! It didn’t seem normal, an iron nail stuck in Erai’s head… !”

“Quiet.”

Elijah glanced at him and Balls immediately fell silent.

She looked down at Gaston again.

“Don’t think about wasting time. I have nothing to lose if I get you out of here.”

It’s a lie.

Gaston’s whistleblower is quite significant, as he has decided not to openly challenge the Church of the Moon.

I don’t know what to say, but it’s worth listening to.

I’m just pretending to be relaxed.

“Precisely, the Bordeaux family hired me.”

“Was it a wandering knight?”

“Yes. He was also a member of the Moonshinkyo religion. I don’t even know their ultimate goal….”

“Speak only what you know, not laying ground for avoiding responsibility.”

“… Sorry. They advised me to keep an eye on her behavior and report back regularly. I was also ordered to grasp the structure of the mansion and the topography of the area.”

Gaston was ordered by Balak to spy on Judas.

However, his original purpose was different.

The real mastermind is the Moonsin Church.

The target is Elijah.

Elijah asked curiously.

“But you. Aren’t you from the training camp?”

“I was taken away during the last personnel change.”

Thanks to Judas.

From the first day, the child shook the entire training center, and Gaston, who was in the mansion, was taken to the training center.

Elijah smiled inwardly.

A wonderful child.

“Judging from the fact that he didn’t run away after moving to the training center, it seems that he hasn’t handed over all the information yet.”

“… That’s right.”

Keep an eye on yourself.

Check the terrain around the mansion.

Isn’t that like preparing for war?

It’s also strange.

Do you dare to go against yourself?

No matter how illegitimate he may be, he is a child of the Bebel family.

If you declare war without a valid cause, you may have to turn the entire Bebel family into enemies.

It is not an enemy that the Church of the Moon can handle. The bevel.

‘… No way. They?’

A faction that has reasons to oppose the Bebel family.

A group with the power to do that.

There is one.

‘No, let’s not jump to conclusions. I’m not sure.’

After that, I continued to listen to Gaston’s testimony, but there was no meaningful information.

At least the fact that they decided to connect Salaman with the Bordeaux family and give him a small title?

In Elijah’s standards, this was useless information.

In the end, even Gaston was nothing more than a throwaway horse.

“Sir Gawain. Bring the talents and things called Shylock.”

Shylock already knew, but he needs to act like he didn’t.

Few people know that he is a double agent.

There is nothing good about being too many.

“And Gaston. You might have more useful information, so I’ll keep you alive for the time being.”

“Thank you for your grace.”

“I-I… !”

Bols interrupted hastily.

As Elijah looked down with cold eyes, he immediately fell silent.

Wizard.

He is a valuable talent.

But why? He has his own

Moreover, since her crazy fire bloomed, her magical powers have been beyond imagination.

She doesn’t need a teacher or anything like that.

But she was too vague to let go.

Balls has just heard of a subtle conflict between himself and the Moonshine Church.

If it is released by mistake, there is a possibility that the information will leak out.

“I need some time to think.”

“Yes, yes! Sure! Do you have any idea, hehehe.”

Elijah turned away from him with a servile smile.

She wasn’t very interested.

However, the relationship around him was very messy.

More than I knew.

‘Should I change the water again….’

While Elijah was waiting for the talent and Shylock, he pondered over personnel at the training center.

Salaman and Envinil will be dealt with separately and quietly.

Unlike Gaston, worthless things with no information to extract touched Judas.

You have to pay for it.

‘I should have paid more attention last time.’

Thanks to Judas, we did change our staff once.

At that time, Elijah entrusted the task to Gawain.

Because she wasn’t interested in the training center itself.

It was just that Judas was a little interesting.

Things are different now.

I got a little interested in the training center.

She decided to keep the reason buried.

‘There are no reliable talent among the current staff. Humans are not trustworthy by nature. Narcissus…. Should I prove my strength by striking her? Maybe I was too quiet to wait for an opportunity.’

The power of having and stockpiling is meaningless.

You need to show off your power in moderation and know how to display it.

Someone has arrived in the dungeon.

It was Shylock who came first.

He was dragged in without even knowing English, and he looked perplexed.

Soon after seeing that Gaston is imprisoned, he realizes the situation.

“From the look on your face, do you understand what the situation is?”

“… ….”

“It’s fortunate that you are quick-witted. It can save you a lot of trouble.”

Shylock grasped the context at once.

Shylock acknowledged and apologized like a criminal, and Elijah listened as if it were the first time he had heard it.

We exchanged information we already knew through questions and answers.

After her performance, Elijah sighed lightly.

This time she wasn’t acting.

She was just fed up with her.

Interference in the name of family.

What is different from violence?

Her birth was also violence to her, as her life was undesirable.

When her mother was by her side, she wasn’t so cynical about life.

A talent came into the basement just in time.

An aloof and stiff face.

It seemed that he had already guessed the situation.

“You seem to be pretty quick-witted too.”

Elijah’s expectations were not met.

Talent kept his mouth shut.

“Why are we tired of each other….”

While speaking, Elijah felt a strange sense of incongruity.

Her senses as a wizard were on edge.

A wave of twisted magical power.

The talent leaked out.

The talent’s eyes were turning upside down.

The white part was exposed, and saliva flowed between the teeth of the jaw.

Hermis reflexively blocked Elijah’s path.

Elijah observed the talent between Hermis’ arm and waist.

‘What is that… ?’

A wave that is not clear even with eyes that can see magical power.

Everybody freaked out and fell a few steps away from talent.

“Turn it off… !”

The fluttering and trembling talent knelt down and fell slowly.

Kung, her face hits the floor.

Heavy silence after the commotion.

Elijah narrowed her eyes.

‘The fluctuating magic… It’s gone.’

It’s not just the magical power that has disappeared.

I don’t feel any vitality at all.

Shylock cautiously approaches her and touches her with the tip of her sword.

There is no fine movement.

After turning it over, look at the pulse and say.

“… Died.”

Leah hurriedly said.

“My lady. It’s award winning. First of all, you have to get out of this scene….”

“No.”

Elijah raised her hand.

After interrupting her, she continues to think.

‘The fluctuating magic power. It was a reaction to a certain magic spell implanted in the human body.’

She has a hard face as if she has decided on something or has given up.

A tightly closed mouth.

And at this point to be interrogated, she died.

Without leaving any clues.

‘… Suicide to conceal information.’

Talents are not wizards.

In other words, someone planted magic in the talent.

Suicide magic that is triggered under certain circumstances.

It is a magic that Elijah also recently learned about while searching for her spy.

A magic that causes a spy sent to the enemy to commit suicide in preparation for leaking information.

If planted in the human body, it will activate according to the desired condition.

“First, bring the councilor to see if he was poisoned.”

Elijah commanded.

She suspects it was a magical suicide, but other possibilities should be left open.

You can’t say for sure without checking.

Soon after, a lawmaker came and completed a brief investigation.

“A closer examination would require opening the abdominal cavity, but as of now, no toxic substances have been identified.”

Elijah continues her thoughts again, but she is blocked by a wall. She

She lacked grounds for thinking.

She is a person who is careful enough to instill magical self-determination.

But how difficult is that magic?

Elijah is quite good at objectifying herself. She

She also knows that her magical talents are unusual.

However, she doesn’t know exactly how great it is.

Because she has little experience meeting other wizards.

A wave of distorted magic that spread from the talent.

It was a trace of someone artificially processing it.

To be difficult to spot before or during activation.

Including that, how difficult would it be?

There was a person next to him who could provide that clue.

“Did you say Balls?”

A wizard who was bought by Gaston.

A wizard who was betrayed by Gaston at the same time.

“Yes! This is Balls!”

“You said you were a wizard.”

“Yes, I am.”

Balls replied wholeheartedly.

Betrayed by Gaston.

That too shamelessly, right in front of your eyes.

I’m ready to do anything to f*ck him.

And anyway, this aristocratic kid was holding his own lifeline right in front of him.

He was a man who was ready to bow down for his own comfort.

“Where did you learn magic?”

“After formally studying at the Magic Tower… kicked out My behavior is so, yes….”

Chibu, who had neglected his studies due to drinking and gambling, decided to hide it.

Not all truths need to be revealed.

“What floor did you go up to?”

A magic tower with a total of 33 floors.

The number of floors that can be climbed is limited according to the wizard’s level.

There is no wizard who has broken the seal on the 33rd floor yet.

Except for the sages of the distant past who built the Mage Tower.

Among those wise men is the founder of the Bebel family.

His eyes shone like Elijah’s.

“The ninth floor.”

On the 9th of the 33rd floor.

Considering the age of Balls, it’s a decent level.

The magic tower is also a conical structure.

As the floor goes up, the space gets smaller and the difficulty to enter becomes exponentially more difficult.

The ninth floor is a pretty trustworthy mage.

In terms of skills.

“How was it when you saw it yourself? The magic that killed that talent.”

“… Yes? Magic? Was there magic?”

“… ?”

Elijah looked at Bols with a frown.

He looked back and forth between the dead body of the talent and Elijah, and then bowed his head in apologetic manner.

“Well, to my eyes, I didn’t see any signs of magic….”

I really did.

While Elijah felt the surge of her magic power, Bols felt nothing.

“If what the lady said is true, it means that the author was implanted with a magic that activates in a specific situation, and went through a processing process to hide or erase the traces of that magic….”

Vols looked into Elijah’s eyes as he explained.

I couldn’t bear to think that Elijah was wrong. She

Even if she thinks, she doesn’t even have the guts to speak.

“Originally, the waves of self-determination magic are wild and large. Since I have to use someone else’s magic circuit, I can’t help but be unstable.”

In other words, there aren’t many people who can fake such magic.

Elijah raised her evaluation of herself and sorted out the forces that sent her talents.

Difficult level high level magic and processing.

There aren’t many forces that can do that.

Elijah continued his thoughts while unconsciously making the soles of the cat dolls.

‘First, the magic tower.’

A power that is unconditionally the number one authority on magic in the world.

But it is excluded right away.

Mages in the Mage Tower do not undertake this kind of work.

I don’t know if he excommunicated or escaped.

At least, the power of the ‘Magic Tower’ is not the backwater of talent.

‘Second, Ballack.’

A wizard far superior to himself with his current skills alone.

It is one of the most popular monsters in the world.

However, motivation is lacking.

Are you afraid that spies will find out, so you dare to use self-determination magic?

Even without going through another person, he is a person who was directly instructed by Balak.

If you cast a self-determination magic on such a person, the magic will rather point to Balak.

It’s like extending the tail unnecessarily.

In the first place, Elijah couldn’t even interrogate the talent.

It is unlikely that the true power of the talent is Balak.

Balak is also excluded.

‘Third. Information Guild.’

This is also quickly excluded.

Information guilds do not act this way.

The fourth one is left. Only one.

I don’t know the exact motive, but it’s vaguely the same force.

One of the two families that currently divide the continent.

On the outside, they are friendly with the Duchy of Bebel, but behind the scenes, they engage in all sorts of secret plans.

‘It wasn’t Moonsingyo….’

An assassin of the Church of the Moon who came to kill himself.

A spy from the Moonsin Church broke into his mansion.

The group called Wolsingyo was nothing more than an arrow holder.

I realized that there is a separate force trying to kill me by using them.

The forces I just recalled.

There is a reason to be hostile to the Bebel family.

Those who have the power to do so.

‘Helios….’

Only the imperial family of the Helios Empire remains as the only suspect.
