Episode 487
“Shoot the arrow!”
The arrows that were fired bounced off like rain.
No matter how magical an arrow is, it cannot pierce the magical energy possessed by the ruler of the area.
Ygrel frowned in displeasure. How dare he attack himself? Even if you tear it to pieces and kill it, it won’t be cool. The ferocious nature of the monster boiled over.
‘Shouldn’t there be punishment?’
If you don’t respond to this rudeness, you are not a monster. But at that moment,
“Stop the attack!”
A loud shout rang out from below. Someone rose above the wall.
“Ygrel!”
[huh? It’s a familiar face. Your name was Sian.]
“that’s right.”
Igrel blurted out at Cian, who was waving his hand at him.
[I was so scared that your friends were attacking me that I almost broke the barrier.]
“sorry. “It’s because they don’t know much.”
Igrell felt somewhat relieved by Xian’s quick apology.
[Well, I’m generous, so I’ll let you skip it at least once.]
“It’s been longer than that. “It’s the first time since that day.”
[Yeah, well, I’m not feeling well. It took some time to recover.]
I answered roughly, but Xian understood. Since he almost died due to the collapse of the barrier, the aftermath must have affected Ygrel nearby as well.
Sian guessed Ygrel’s purpose.
“What’s going on here? “If anyone is looking for it.”
Perhaps you came because you couldn’t contact Heike? Igrel probably doesn’t know about her death yet.
Sian waited for Ygrel’s answer in a bitter mood. But what came out of Ygrel’s mouth was something completely unexpected.
[I came to warn you.]
“A warning?”
[Yes, there will be a large-scale raid soon. I think it would be difficult to stop it with the current power, right?]
Ygrel glanced over the wall. It wasn’t just Baharek who became stronger. With my senses becoming clearer, I could clearly see the full power of the humans.
Xian, the earth spirit, was of course powerful, but it seemed unlikely that he could stop Baharek and the numerous monsters he led on his own.
“A large-scale raid? “What is going on in the Forest of Pahe?”
[Baharek.]
Xian sighed at that short answer.
Baharek eats humans. It was a fact he knew well.
A monster that has tasted human flesh can never forget that taste. Since the sacred barrier was gone, it was natural for Baharek to target humans.
“When do you think it will happen?”
[Within a week? It could be tomorrow.]
“oh my god.”
Xian’s expression hardened. Many thoughts passed through my mind. The situation was insufficient to express it as an emergency.
“Thank you for letting me know. Do you plan to fight together?”
[doesn’t exist. Are you telling me to oppress my fellow monsters? They also have the right to freedom.]
“What about your own people? “Where can a monster have something like that?”
Any time we fight together against the devil. But I couldn’t force it.
[Please say hello to the other guys. This is a human expression, right? Of course, I think we’ll see each other again soon.]
Igrel added sarcastically, flapping his wings and soaring into the sky.
A moment later, a gust of wind hit the wall, and Ygrel easily disappeared beyond.
Xian muttered, looking into the empty space where he was floating.
“Danger… … “Ro.”
Isn’t it over yet? Sian sighed deeply.
Now he had to tell this. to everyone. Protecting the wall is the duty of not only him, but all humans.
It was time for those who had dispersed to gather again. To respond to this new crisis.
“again… … “I can’t believe we’re gathering.”
Suddenly, Sian felt a welcome feeling and was startled.
“This is not the time.”
Xian quickly jumped down the barrier. It cannot be postponed even for a moment. To protect this peace.
* * *
Many countries have been under threat since the liberation of Pahe Forest, but Rinosa was an exception. This is because it was a small country and did not have a large area to protect.
The monsters that occasionally appeared in the mountains were enough for the dispatched Black Wing Knights to deal with them.
Because of this, Linosa was able to support a relatively large number of troops on the wall.
When Helmut left, Charlotte naturally filled his vacancy.
Only in the case of Reno, where she had been away for a long time, did she quickly get used to her place.
The Archduke consulted with her on important matters and transferred some of his powers to her.
Even though she took on important tasks at Linosa that could be considered a successor, Charlotte did not forget that she was temporarily replacing Helmut.
The successor was Helmut. But he could have been himself.
Charlotte did not overlook the fact that Helmut might not return.
The Archduke gave him the opportunity to choose, but Helmut has not yet chosen. Whatever he chooses, Charlotte will follow.
If Helmut left, she would be his successor. so… … Exceeding authority from others must not be tolerated. Even if you press it.

“Charlotte, what’s going on?”
Charlotte calmly threw the folder on the floor, looking at the bright face that came into her office. widely!
“I heard that you handled the appointment of knights.”
“It did.”
Michael picked up the folder thrown at his feet, rolled his eyes and smiled.
He was a little taller and looked much fatter and healthier than before. As he got healthier, he had more time to think about things. So he started tricking again.
Charlotte spoke in a cold tone.
“Michael, you are in a position to take my orders. “I would have told you not to be so presumptuous.”
Michael spoke in a kind tone that would make anyone feel weak.
“Don’t talk so harshly. Because you look busy. “I wanted to be of some help.”
Charlotte was not shaken at all.
“I petted him.”
Michael’s eyes hardened slightly.
“That’s not a wise idea. “I handled things reasonably enough.”
“I guess so. “It’s just that I know that your rationality is quite flexible.”
“If you saw how I handled it… … .”
“It doesn’t matter. “Michael.”
An icy gaze pierced towards him.
“I would have told you not to be presumptuous. “This is not your right.”
“shallot.”
“The list of articles you handled included the names of people close to you.”
People from the Rinosa noble family who are close to Michael. He was appointed to a relatively comfortable and good position in the Knights Templar.
It was merely a convenience to the extent that it could not be called corruption. Through that, Michael will be able to deepen his friendship with them.
Michael shrugged his shoulders.
“It may seem like that, but they are qualified.”
“Then it is a pity. “I’m going to take their names off the list.”
“shallot!”
Michael, who shouted loudly, calmed his expression again and a smile appeared on his lips.
“These are people whose qualifications have been verified. If it’s because of me, adjust their positions. It would be unfair to lose one’s knighthood. You cannot tolerate injustice. “Are you saying you would do something like that yourself?”
Charlotte did not give in despite the gently persuasive voice.
“You were involved. That’s enough. “That canceled their qualifications.”
Charlotte declared in a stern tone.
“The fact that you even dare to get involved with the Knights is unfair. If you do something like this again, I will put everyone close to you at a disadvantage. “There will be no one left by your side.”
“shallot!”
“Why don’t you go and shed tears and tell me you didn’t know I would hate you this much. Then, those guys who are harsh on you will soon understand.”
Michael is skilled at deceiving others with his angelic face.
The corners of Michael’s mouth tightened. He could no longer hide his emotions with a smile.
“My dear sister. Is this your true self? “I didn’t know that things would change so much just because I had power.”
“I am the Grand Duchess of Linosa. I am just dealing with sinners according to my duty. and… … .”
If it changed, who made it change? Shock changes people. Charlotte went through a shock and change, as if she had been shattered and put back together.
Charlotte gave a cold look.
“You should consider yourself lucky that everything you’ve said and done to me so far isn’t being taken back. And know this. “Your life is not yours.”
She immediately threw Michael away.
“get out.”
Michael opened his mouth as if to say something, then turned around and left. He must have made some calculations in a short period of time and decided that there was no benefit in provoking Charlotte.
A sigh formed on Charlotte’s lips as she sent him away.
It was a matter of time. It was Michael who was solidifying his position in Linosa until Charlotte graduated from the academy.
Many people thought that Michael would become the Grand Duke of Rinosa in the future.
Even if he leaves the position of successor, it is natural that what he has accumulated does not disappear in an instant.
It was a habit. It will take time for that habit to disappear from the people of Linosa.
Charlotte had to tell them firmly.
That Michael is no longer Rinosa’s successor and that he has no authority.
Everything had to be done through Charlotte’s hands.
Above all, when it comes to the Knights Templar, Michael clearly crossed the line. As if he was wondering when he had been holding on to it for so long.
‘I must have been greedy.’
The foundation of Linosa is the Knights. What Michael does is the first step toward taking control of the knights.
Among Michael’s emotions, the most intense one is greed. There was no way his fierce greed would go away just because his life was threatened.
Michael will continue to look for opportunities little by little. It was Charlotte’s job to keep it in check.
As much as she did not forget her duties, she did not forget how she should treat the sinners of Rinosa.
She was as much a faithful jailer as she was a great swordsman.
“Travel is… … “I hope you are doing well.”
Charlotte suddenly thought of Helmut. He, who was enjoying his freedom with Area for a long time, had not received any news.
They had decided not to look for him unless it was a very serious situation.
Complete freedom to the hero who saved the world. Because that’s a small compensation.
“I guess I’ll have to re-draw the list.”
Because of Michael’s actions, I was already busy, but I had new work to do. Charlotte frowned and held up the document.
At that time, the crystal ball on the desk lit up. There were very few people who could contact her through that crystal ball.
When I placed my hand on the crystal ball, someone’s face appeared. Charlotte blinked.
“senior? “What happened?”
[Charlotte!]
Xian, who is guarding the wall, contacted me. Something must have happened. Because we are not close enough to each other to contact each other personally.
Charlotte’s expression became serious. She opened her mouth, her expression as serious as her own.
[There is a problem.]
