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

31. Chasing the Warlock (7)

“Sir Hermis.”

“Oh, Judas!”

After clearing all the enemies on the cliff, Judas came down.

He laughed at Hermis after getting off at Yuel.

“I have never been so happy to see Sir Hermis as today.”

“Oops. Surprisingly, you weren’t welcomed normally?”

“No way.”

Judas laughed lightly at Hermis’ joke and asked.

“But how did you come here?”

“Ah. We entered the map area from the southwest via another route.”

Yuda and Room 13 entered the southeast and entered this canyon.

“I tried to go north, starting from the south. The southwest was an empty field, so I moved quickly and found this canyon. I was going to take a break at first, but what kind of suspicious group is there?”

I didn’t try to fight from the beginning.

First of all, I watched.

You don’t know who the enemy is and how strong he is.

The suspicious group settled down one by one on the cliff.

It looked like he was waiting for someone to come out.

Just then.

“Why is this cutie coming to me?”

Hermis reached out to Yuel and smiled.

A hand about to touch.

Yuel slipped behind him.

Hermis felt sorry for her, but even smiled as if she was cute.

“I saw this child and knew it. Judas is here. Then, with a high probability, it seemed that they were also targeting Yuda-sama.”

When I made that decision, the enemies fired their crossbows all at once.

The urgent cry was the voice of Judas.

Everybody get down.

“So we got ready and jumped in.”

“You are lucky.”

“hahahaha. Well, if it was Judas, wouldn’t he have somehow lived? Besides, Lady Elijah….”

Stop talking, Hermis stiffened.

Like a stone statue, stand at attention and open your eyes.

It was the same with Judas, who was talking with him.

He didn’t even dare to wriggle.

The oppressive and hot atmosphere oppressed them.

The owner who created the atmosphere was Elijah, who had come right next to him before he knew it.

In her hand was the collar of a fainted wizard.

Elijah drops it and says.

“What are you two doing?”

“… ….”

“Do you have time for small talk?”

From noble mtl dot com

“Sin, sin, sorry… !”

They both apologized at the same time.

I didn’t do anything wrong, but if I didn’t, it seemed like a big deal.

Golden pupil.

Swaying eyes.

It was just a trace of the use of magic, but it stimulated the creature’s instinctive fear like the eyes of a predator.

“I didn’t mean to say sorry.”

“I-I-I’m done, I’m done! It was over just by moving, so we were saying hello for a while!”

“Yes, it is!”

“Hmm.”

Elijah moved her head.

Slowly.

Hermis. Judah. Hermis. Judah.

Look at the two alternately.

Finally shrugs her shoulders.

“Good.”

Then he takes Judas by the hand and leads him.

“We are going to move now. Let everyone know Bind this wizard well and take care of it.”

Hermis answered with a salute.

“Yup!”

Judas followed rigidly and asked cautiously.

“Have I done something wrong, by any chance?”

She said that sometimes whenever she seemed angry with herself, she was afraid that some kind of tragedy would happen.

Elijah stops and she looks up at him.

The red eyes have returned to normal.

I put the face of Judas carefully.

A little stiff expression

It’s different from when I was talking with Hermis earlier, smiling lightly and being relaxed.

“… No. Doesn’t exist.”

Elijah answered after a while.

You can’t say it’s wrong to make others smile.

But the reason it feels wrong and makes her feel uncomfortable is probably her own problem.

Elijah hesitated, then she asked as she passed by.

“… Are you two friends?”

“Me and Sir Hermis?”

“Yes.”

“Um…. If you’re friendly, can you say you’re friendly? Thanks to the young lady, she is the one who has protected me since I was little.”

Self-employed.

She couldn’t figure out why the word came to her mind.

“Why is that?”

“… Just.”

I want you to laugh often. Comfortable.

Unlike in front of me.

It’s a smile that only I want to see.

I find it ironic that I laugh better in front of others than myself.

And the other woman sees it.

Showing that smile to another girl….

I swallowed the long afterwords.

What are you trying to say?

What answer do you expect?

Elijah didn’t even know why he thought of such an afterword, so Elijah was confused in her head.

Soon, everyone gathered around Elijah.

She just prepared a massive teleport.

*

The large yard of Elijah’s mansion.

In an empty space, 25 people appeared at once.

It was Elijah’s large-scale teleportation.

Arriving, Elijah staggered as he touched her head.

It was because her mana suddenly diminished in an instant.

Not people, but luggage, horses, and Yuel were included.

It was the first time that a scale of this size was teleported.

Judas reflexively reached her arm out to grab her by the shoulder, then she pulled it back.

Her own body was still dirty.

Fortunately, Elijah did not fall down.

She glared at Judas’ vaguely outstretched hand.

‘You can just hold and touch me….’

Judas asked, not knowing what she was thinking.

“Are you okay?”

“… Huh.”

The dizzy vision slowly returned.

“Lady!”

Lea hurriedly ran out of the mansion.

“Are you okay? Aren’t you hurt?”

“No. I’m a bit dizzy.”

When she came to her senses, she immediately ordered this and that.

All materials brought from the wizard’s residence to the laboratory.

The wizard’s corpse and the kidnapped wizard are taken to the dungeon.

The wizard took the responsibility of Bols.

The magician who tried to snip Judas with Gaston’s instigation five years ago.

He was a faithful defender of Elijah’s mansion.

After completing her instructions, Elijah looked around for a while.

11 People in Room 13.

A friend of Judas. Colleague.

They were all looking at themselves.

The wait was clear.

Standing by Elijah, Judas smiled happily at them.

Elijah personally, she did what they wanted.

“Everyone had a hard time. Baini directly announces the end of the test to select the bodyguards. You will have to be the sword and shield that will die for me from now on.”

11 People got down on one knee.

I look up at Elijah with only my head up.

“As you know, I am a body with many enemies. Are you ready?”

“Yes!”

“Are you ready to die without hesitation?”

“Yes!”

Elijah nodded her head with a solemn and relaxed expression.

“I will accept your loyalty.”

Everyone in Room 13 was itching.

I wanted to scream, hug each other and run.

But I endured it because it was in front of Elijah.

My name is now a knight, but I couldn’t show a frivolous side.

“You don’t have to go through a separate swearing-in ceremony.”

“It’s okay!”

I was sincere.

Rather than being acknowledged by others, they were more happy about the fact that they worked hard and cooperated with each other.

If it was like before, I would have wanted to brag about it.

Elijah didn’t think that friendship was too bad.

Unlike the knights who gathered in moderately individual units, they know how to move with each other as one.

It will make a great sword and shield.

As expected, Judas’ judgment was not bad.

Elijah had a business to see right away in the magic lab.

She is going to lightly look through the collected journals and materials, and interrogate the wizard.

Before leaving for a while.

Elijah gestured to Judas.

Judas naturally lowered her head.

She didn’t say anything, but she understood that it was meant to be quiet.

The two came to understand each other without words.

Elijah also naturally lifted her tiptoe, placing his hand on his shoulder.

Whispering in your ear.

“I had a hard time.”

“Thank you very much for listening to my request.”

Judah laughed lightly.

“Yes. I know. I’ll be in the magic lab. I’ll give you some time to settle down with them for a moment.”

“Uh… Would that be okay?”

“Okay. I can summon you if necessary.”

“Then…. Thank you.”

“Don’t spend too long. After you’re done properly, wash up and come to me.”

Judas thought it was because of her body odor.

It’s definitely grueling.

“Okay.”

Elijah has left.

For a moment, Judas looked at the distant figure behind him.

Swaying black curly hair.

And a red scarf.

Sometimes the appearance that confuses oneself is….

The whistling sound broke the spirit of seeing far away.

It was Jerry.

Beside him, Richard smirked.

“Oh, it will wear out, it will wear out. Is it that good?”

“… ….”

“Don’t you know if an escort driver can look at his master with such an evil look?”

“What, what, what do you mean by evil eyes!”

“Well? What do you mean?”

The two bickered again as usual, and their colleagues laughed together.

It quickly became a place to celebrate and appreciate each other.

We overcame adversity together and reached the desired position together.

Dylan spoke to Judas in a deliberately serious voice.

Ask for a handshake.

“Thank you. Judah.”

It was an opportunity obtained thanks to Judas’ request.

Judas smiled as he held her hand.

“Nothing. Family.”

Families built on sweat instead of blood.

No one denied that.

*

Elijah spread the wizard’s journal and her research materials all over the desk.

She is not the lab she used to work 5 years ago.

I burned it, and I don’t use it because of bad memories.

She moved to a larger area instead.

It was a secret only to me that Judas’ room was a place that looked up.

I don’t know why I chose this place.

It was impulsive. Just what

Elijah first looked through her material on ‘black magic’.

Currently, she is looking for a kind of mind/memory interference.

Something called sobriety.

Dark magic may have data that can implement it.

‘There are quite a lot of books. How long have you been studying mages?’

Think while choosing materials.

You killed the Imperial Wizards.

I also killed an imperial knight.

After examining the body, there was no clue to prove it, but I was sure.

‘How will the imperial family respond? What is the emperor trying to do with black magic….’

Elijah first picked up any book and opened it.

‘This is…. Password?’

The contents of the book were all written in code.

It was the same with other books.

‘Is it a type of irregular character substitution?’

A password system in which each letter is randomly replaced with another letter.

Fortunately, among the data there was a checklist that could decipher the code.

Elijah interpreted by referring to the table.

While reading chapter by chapter….

‘This magic…. Somewhere, it’s familiar….’

It stops at a certain chapter in the book.

What is written on the left is something that looks like a drawing.

Perhaps a magic circle.

And the text on the right is an explanation.

The content was long and detailed, but the summary was simple.

‘Suggestion enhancement?’

A magic circle engraved as a sacrifice.

Intensifies the suggestion placed on the target.

‘This is…. Clearly….’

Think about it.

Where did you see this?

Feeling familiar with the shape of this magic circle.

Very faint and far away.

Obviously….

‘… ….’

Elijah used teleport.

Study room.

Open the lower drawer.

What I put in five years ago.

The paper that Miguel gave you.

The one who came to assassinate himself.

The order that I assumed belonged to Tredito Heize.

There were traces of magic engraved on that order.

And then, the black magic that we just saw, the suggestion enhancement.

The mana you feel is consistent.

Elijah moved back to the magic lab.

I draw a pen on a blank piece of paper while looking at the black magic that strengthens the suggestion.

The black ink goes all the way.

As if there was originally such a road.

And, when it was finally completed, Elijah was convinced.

‘… Same.’

The suggestion reinforcement and the pattern inside the paper match.

There are still letters left.

A ciphertext previously restored by a technician but unable to decipher it.

It can be interpreted by comparing it with the substitution cipher written in the book of warlocks.

After 5 years, the results finally deciphered.

‘… Kill Elijah.’

An assassination order to kill oneself.

All clues gathered.

An assassin who came 5 years ago. Tredito Hayes.

A suspicious piece of paper he dropped.

Imperial wizards and black magic.

A suggestive enhancement magic discovered through tracking.

Matches with the magic circle written on the paper.

And the implications of that.

Kill Elijah.

He is from Giudecca. Associated with Angra.

‘It wasn’t just the imperial family and dark magic….’

The Church of the Moon God and even Angra are involved in this.

And that Angra also has a connection with Balak….

‘Wait a minute.’

Elijah remembered the letter he had read this time.

The letter that the warlock seems to have written.

It was difficult to understand the entire contents because the ink was poured, but Elijah managed to infer the hidden contents through the context.

From noble mtl dot com

‘The Crown of Thorns. Gold. Target. Command…. The black magician who came to Judas. And, the expression of suggesting and brainwashing again. As if you’ve already tried….’

After quickly organizing my thoughts.

‘Judas….’

She came to a conclusion.
