Duke’s Quadruplets Are All Overpowered Chapter 168

168

We received intelligence that a devil had arisen on Soleta Island in the southern region ruled by Taechung.

The request for investigation and subjugation was an unofficial request from the Matherand family. I heard that after the fall of Musenion, the southern islands began to be infested with pirates. The Duke of Matherand, who protects the southern coast of the empire, recently carried out a large-scale suppression of pirates.

Soleta, a small island with a population of 1,000 people, was one of the waypoints for transporting supplies. It’s not a dangerous place. Because it is close to the coast, there are no pirate attacks. It is a tourist destination with beautiful rape blossoms. However, an incident occurred where two supply ships that were anchored suddenly lost contact at Soleta Island. Afterwards, one warship and twenty soldiers were dispatched, but they also went missing shortly afterwards.

The Matherand family thought this incident was related to the devil. After the religious reform of Ushas, ​​even the smallest matters related to the devil in the Kunkan Empire were managed by the Ajivika religion. The Materand family entrusted this incident entirely to the Ajibika Church. Damage caused by demons is unpredictable. If the scale of damage is misjudged, the leakage of troops will become serious. It was a wise decision. It would be an extreme loss to turn back troops who had been deployed to deal with an unknown enemy.

After seeing my father at Changgung Pavilion, I immediately got to the point.

“I will go directly.”

“Will you do so?”

Soleta Island is located at the southern tip of the continent, on the opposite side of the Quartz region. Twenty of the duke’s soldiers were killed, but the Kosan clan was not enough. Even if you send out a group of knights and go by sea, it will take several days. Now that the fate of the residents of Soleta Island is unknown, the matter is urgent, so it would be better to have one or two reliable hunters to subdue them. With Melissa’s ‘Door to Anywhere’, even the southern region is within reach.

Above all, there is a reason why I have to go.

Quartz is not safe. We don’t know when the Lanistas will return. It’s better to fight the devil. You have to take the opportunity to run away.

“Thank you, Polestar. “I can trust you.”

As soon as my father received the information, he returned to Quartz and called me.

Although I react sensitively to incidents related to the devil, I was even more concerned about this incident.

“You seem to be taking this matter seriously.”

“This is an opportunity to make even a small debt to the Duke of Matherland.”

Duke of Matherland.

One of the four pillars that support the empire.

They protect the southern coastal region and islands, and are a family with the strongest maritime power in the empire, both in name and reality. But what was even more famous than that was his reputation as a reclusive peacock. As surprising as his father is, it’s almost questionable how the Duke of Matherland is the Duke of Cunkan. His father also participates in important events of the empire. However, as far as I know, the Duke of Matherland has never appeared in public. The Duke of Matherand, who was shrouded in mystery, was known to have mixed ages and even genders.

“Duke of Matherand… … .”

The existence of the Matherand family with such independent tendencies may be due to the strange founding background of the Kunkan Empire. Kunkan was created by unifying dozens of countries through a war of aggression. Excluding the Sternil Kingdom, the vast territory encompassing the entire eastern continent is evidence of a mad invasion. This is why Sternil is still hostile to Kunkan. Before the Demon War broke out, Kunkan waged a bloody war for hundreds of years.

Even after hundreds of years, the wound did not heal easily. The people of the southern region ruled by the Duke of Matherand have different tendencies and cultures even though they are citizens of the same empire. They did not have a strong desire for independence, but if they had to choose between the Empire and the Matherand family, they were willing to serve the Duke’s family.

Nevertheless, it is surprising that they have maintained their independent tendencies for this long.

Materand remained neutral while Lucha’quan, a descendant of the same mountain kingdom, became Solgar’s faithful dog.

“Has your father ever met him?”

“I have never met the current Duke of Matherand. But he has encountered the former matriarch a few times. “On the battlefield and in private.”

“What kind of person were you?”

“Hmm, well. What kind of ‘person’… … .”

My father answered with a rare troubled expression.

“Be careful.”

“yes?”

“He is different from Solgar and Luchaquan. Rather more… … .”

My father thought deeply about something. His father, lost in his thoughts, went so far as to pluck off his lips with his fingernails. What kind of person is this that makes my father so nervous?

“Dangerous. Yes, it is definitely dangerous.”

“Were you a strong person?”

“Strong. But more than that… Huh.”

My father turned his head and said.

“Maybe… no. “Still, you have to be careful.”

It was a worried tone.

But rather than worrying about my safety.

He seemed worried about something else.

* * *

“It’s been a while, Master!”

Although it is an unofficial request, it has been reported to Ajibika Church. A black priest was required to accompany the crew for procedures and reports. A black priest and member of the Starfall Knights.

“Hehe, Master. Before you know it, your accomplishments in swordsmanship have risen to the point where you can overpower ordinary knights, and you are now ranked tenth in the order… … .”

I decided to accompany my first student, Narand Jr.

“Don’t call me that in front of other people.”

“yes?”

“I told you not to call me Master. “Ugh.”

“why… “Why are you doing this!”

I sadly watched the hairy, muscular macho guy argue with a sad face.

If you consider the length of life you have lived, you are about my age. But… This is a bit much.

It felt very different from being called ‘Master’ by people who were only fifteen years old.

“It’s a little uncomfortable.”

“Giggles.”

The man chuckled, looked around, and changed the subject.

“Anyway, Master. This is the famous taboo of Quartz Castle. “It looks like a nice forest, doesn’t it?”

He’s right. Melissa’s garden looks beautiful on the outside. It is not a gorgeously decorated garden. The closer you get to the center, the more randomly growing plants and tall winter trees fill the forest, making it reminiscent of a primeval forest. The dense forest evoked human longing. You can get a glimpse of the greatness of nature that has endured not only thousands of years, but tens of thousands of years of history.

The problem is that Melissa’s garden was just an ordinary birch forest just ten years ago. The forest seemed to expand its territory every time I went. The ‘strange things’ no longer threaten me, but they are still scary.

“Monsters live here.”

“Monster? It’s a bit spooky, but it’s Quartz Castle. Haha – let alone a monster, even a devil… … .”

“That’s not what I meant. When I say monster, I just mean monster.”

“Hmm?”

“I’m warning you, don’t make eye contact. If I ever talk to you, I always say ‘I’m sorry’ over and over again. “That’s how you live.”

“… “Weren’t you going to see Melissa?”

“Don’t call me Melissa. Lady, lady, princess, please do not use any titles. Leave all other words out of your mind and just remember this: I’m sorry. Then it will be okay. maybe.”

“Now I don’t know if you’re joking or serious.”

“You will know when you meet. “Every cell inside you will be screaming and telling you to run away.”

As he got closer to Melissa’s cabin, Narand Jr. seemed to feel something and swallowed his dry saliva frequently with a nervous expression on his face.

Melissa is in the cabin.

Unlike other twins, you could meet whenever you wanted.

Even though one is not limited by space, living in seclusion to this extent is at the level of a hikikomori.

Don’t you have any friends?

Melissa, as you probably already know, knocked on the door of the cabin out of courtesy.

“Sister Melissa, I’m coming.”

“come in.”

Melissa already knew my business. She seemed to have noticed and been preparing from the moment I set foot in her own forest. After completing her ‘Door to Anywhere’, Melissa was making ‘something’ at her own workbench. Her ingredients were so terrible that I had no idea what she was making. Narand Jr. peeked at Melissa from behind me and sighed. She is the second daughter of Reinberg, who is reputed to be a ‘witch’, but she probably had no idea that she would be gnawing on such horrible and grotesque materials with her bare hands.

“Can I use it now?”

“uh.”

“Thank you.”

Things are going well. I quickly tried to open the door somewhere before Melissa changed her mind and walked away. But as soon as she walked into the cabin, she heard Melissa say in a sharp voice:

“But what is that bastard?”

While concentrating on work-

What bothered me was Melissa, who never missed anything.

It was time to think for a moment about what answer I should give so I could pass safely.

Narand Junior smiled awkwardly and answered.

“Hello, beautiful… … .”

“no!”

I quickly shouted. But it was already too late.

You stupid man. I warned you so!

Melissa stopped working and turned her head.

Nine tails waving dizzyingly. It means that you are quite annoyed.

“… “Since when did this body become your means of transportation?”

Melissa’s tail moves.

“Don’t be cocky.”

What happened after that was truly magical. No, it’s real magic. To classify it, it was different from the magic of the Kunkan Empire, the Magic Tower of the Sternil Kingdom, the magic of the Archmage, or the ominous magic of the devil. It was more mysterious and wonderful. Yes, it was magic like something out of ‘Dinney Cartoon Garden’. A wicked witch gets grumpy and turns the princess into a frog –

Narand Jr. is not a princess but a hairy man, but he has one thing in common with a princess.

It is said that it offended the witch.

croak-

I looked at Narande Jr. (who was).

“Aaaahhh!”

I was truly shocked and screamed.

“What are you doing, sister!”

Croaking-croaking-

Narand Junior (what was) was running around the hut.

He cries pitifully while looking at me. It seems like he is begging for his life.

The witch turned him into a frog.

“This isn’t right, sister. This guy is close to me and is an important force in the Knights… … .”

“Shut up and go quickly.”

“but… … .”

“You go alone.”

When Melissa got up and ran towards me, I panicked and gathered my strength.

no! I hate frogs!

puck-

Clearly, my body has reached the state of peace.

He didn’t even have the chin to block Melissa’s kick.

If I hadn’t protected myself with internal energy, my internal organs might have exploded.

I was thrown through the door, barely swallowing the vomit that came up in tears.

Sorry, mister.

Melissa has been so nice lately that I let down my guard.

still… I won’t kill you. I’ll pray when I get back.

I really wanted him to get a kiss from a prince.

“Soleta Island.”

A small fishing village.

No fishy smell.

There was a very disgusting bloody smell.

Did you say that the ‘door to anywhere’ lasts for one day?

“Let’s finish it later tonight.”

I walked along the bloody smell.

The island was quiet. There is silence. It’s too quiet than necessary.

There wasn’t even a sound of insects on the quiet island. Nature is shrinking and scared and the air is not fresh. It was a typical demon occurrence phenomenon.

The day quickly ended and night fell.

“It’s vibrating.”

We arrived at Soleta Island less than a day after receiving the intelligence, but it seems it was already too late.

The residents of Soleta Island were not saved.

so.

At least I should get revenge.
