Episode 171 Who stole my bones? (2)
“I found it!”
A warrior came back looking haggard after being outside for a long time.
Fabreau’s hips shook at the news brought by the tracking team.
“Um, is this really true?”
“yes! “I found their traces!”
“Where is it?!”
“This is Percilus Manor. “Their tracks lead there!”
“Good work! Gather your warriors! I will lead from the front!”
The church began to become busy with the long-awaited news.
Fabro quickly began recruiting people to go to Percilus’ territory.
There are about 30 people.
However, the news has also reached the tracking group and other warriors who are still outside, so the number of people who will join in the future will be in the hundreds, if not more.
No, maybe they had already arrived at Percilus’ territory.
As soon as preparations were completed, dozens of snow horses left the church and headed east.
Of course, it was natural that Lois and the others were there.
These people run quickly across the snow-covered plains.
A member of the tracking team who saw Royce and his group occupying the side of the Daejeon Temple asked a colleague next to them.
“Who are the kids next to Daejeonsa?”
It was a natural question for him as he had not yet heard any news about Lois as he had been out in the field and then quickly deployed again.
A fellow member of the church was horrified by that question and answered while looking at his surroundings.
“Shh! “Watch your mouth!”
“huh?”
“The person in front of me with thin gray hair is the religious leader! And the rest… I don’t know either. I think he said he was the sect’s disciple, or he said he was a friend… … .”
“Are you kidding me now? Teacher? “Since when has our denomination had a leader?”
“Do you think I’m joking?”
“… … ?”
As the face of the warrior who gave the answer looked more serious than ever, the tracker blinked.
Then, the tracking team member’s questioning gaze turned to the leader.
Tania and Kendrick sat behind Kani and Khan, respectively, because they did not know how to ride a horse.
The guys were busy looking around, fascinated by the winter scenery they had never seen before.
That naive appearance confused the tracking team even more.
‘Master? student? friend?’
What happened… … .
The confusion in the tracking team member’s eyes showed no signs of subsiding any time soon.
Meanwhile, Lois drives a snow horse alongside Fabro.
He asked, staring straight ahead.
“What kind of place is Percilus?”
“It is a noble region belonging to the Kingdom of Canburg and the territory ruled by Marquis Luther Persilus. “It’s about 5 hours away from our headquarters by horseback.”
“The territory ruled by the marquis… “It must be quite large.”
“Yes, there is probably no territory as big as that in this area. No, even if you look at the entire Kingdom of Kanburg, it would be within the top five in size, right?”
“What kind of person is that Marquis Percilus?”
Fabro, recalling the Marquis Persilus whom he had met earlier, responded with a slight frown.
“he is… “He is a typical warrior.”
“A typical warrior?”
“yes. He is a man who reveres martial arts and pursues strength. He is known to be pathologically obsessed with nothingness and is one of the most powerful people in the kingdom. However, he is also an honest subject who is loyal to the royal family.”
“Do you think he is a criminal?”
“well… … .”
Favreau rubbed his chin.
After much thought, he came up with an answer.
“Rois’s elixir that we were storing… So, there is no one on the winter continent who does not know about the body’s new body. Accordingly, bizarre rumors are also floating around.”
“What rumors?”
“If you obtain the divine object of the whole body, you will be able to gain the power to control the world…” If you possess a divine object imbued with the blessings of your entire body, you can achieve extraordinary achievements… … . “There are many other strange rumors.”
“So you want to… “The Marquis is obsessed with power, so he may have stolen the sacred item?”
“Yes. “The Marquis, who was said to have entered closed-door training 10 years ago, has recently appeared, and I understand that he is quite sensitive as he cannot overcome the wall.”
“oh? “You know a lot about this and that?”
“I guess my status is status… “I’ve heard a lot about this and that.”
Lois looked at the boastful Fabro in bewilderment and asked with a sneer.
“But is that Marquis old?”
“I believe he is seventy-two.”
“Is it possible that your level of skill is at the highest level of tier 2?”
“… “How did you know?”
Favreau looked at Lois as if he were seeing a ghost.
Lois shrugged her shoulders.
“It would be obvious if a guy who had been training at a closed facility for 10 years showed up with an eccentric personality. You know because you’ve experienced it too, right? “How big is the wall at the end of Tier 2?”
“that… Yes.”
“I feel like my lifespan is almost coming to an end, so I guess I want to somehow get into Tier 1 and extend my life. So, I have no choice but to have a shitty personality.”
Fabro also nodded in agreement with Lois’ words.

Lois rubbed her chin as she looked at this.
“Anyway, the marquis’ motive for the crime is clear.”
“yes.”
Since the traces of those who stole the elixir were lost at the Marquis Persilus’ estate, the owner of the estate also had to be included as a suspect.
As the motive for the crime was even clear, it became increasingly clear that the Marquis Percilus was the culprit.
Lois had a question about this.
‘Did they allow the people who planned thoroughly to steal the divine goods to be caught so easily?’
Of course, it could have been that the sect’s trackers had excellent tracking skills and persistence, and were able to catch a tail that would otherwise not be caught.
Still, Lois’ face did not relax easily.
‘It would be better if that were the case, but… It’s copper.’
It felt strange, but there was nothing I could do about it now.
There are no clues to find the culprit.
Even if the traces leading to Percilus’ territory were just a ruse, I had to go and check.
‘… ‘You’ll find out when you go.’
After so many hours passed.
Royce and the church group were able to arrive at the outskirts of Percilus’ territory.
As soon as they arrived, what greeted them was a desolate… No, it was a bloody atmosphere.
Hundreds of warriors formed widely surrounding the castle walls and troops stood face to face with them.
The deadly force that flowed between them took over the surroundings.
A situation that seems like a fight could break out at any moment.
Fabro, whose expression hardened at the heavy atmosphere felt even though he was quite far away, whispered to Lois.
“… Please leave this matter to me. “It would be better for me to handle it rather than for Lois to step forward herself.”
Fabreau thought that it would be better for him, who had built up a reputation on the Winter Continent, to solve the problem rather than for Lois to step forward for no reason.
Lois nodded indifferently at his request.
“Just like that, I wasn’t planning on going out anyway. Basically, ‘our’ entertainment concept is Himsumchin.”
“… yes?”
I recognized that ‘we’ meant dragon in what Royce said, but I couldn’t understand what ‘concept’ and ‘himsunjin’ meant.
Lois responded with a grin.
“So, Jjin who hid his power… No, it’s just a being that roughly hides its power… I think it’s something like that. Anyway, I’ll just be quiet so you can take care of it.”
“Ah yes… … .”
Someone who wants to hide their power by saying something like “Himsoonjin”… So, as soon as you arrived, you knocked out hundreds of cult warriors!
… The words welled up in his throat, but Fabreau wasn’t foolish enough to spit them out.
I just nodded and said yes.
While they were talking, Lois and the church group soon joined the warriors surrounding the castle wall.
To be precise, the warriors recognized Fabro and opened the way.
“Are you here?”
The leader of the tracking team recognized Fabro and greeted him.
“What happened?”
“Marquis Persilus’ forces are not allowing us to enter.”
“Did you explain the situation?”
“It’s not exact, but the church’s enemies have been hiding in Percilus’ territory, so they said they would like your cooperation in the search… … .”
“And yet they’re blocking it like that?”
“yes.”
Favreau frowned.
At that time, a loud voice was heard from the opposing army of the marquis.
“Who is this? “Aren’t you the old monster of the Order?”
A voice that rings loudly in a bloody atmosphere.
At the same time, an old man riding a snow horse appeared from behind the marquis’ troops.
A red face with a majestic body and clad in black fur.
Even the bushy beard.
Is this what Guan Yu in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms looked like when he got older?
The old man even held a huge spear in one hand.
Lois whispered when she saw him.
“Is that author Marquis Luther?”
“That’s right.”
Favreau nodded once and stepped forward.
“It’s been a while, Luther. The child who used to be immature and wild has grown quite a bit older. “It’s nice to see you attacking the church like a crazy colt.”
“Laughs. Please forget about the bullying you did when you were young. Daejeon Temple.”
As soon as the title Daejeonsa was mentioned, the marquis’ troops became agitated.
There was fear in that commotion.
On the contrary, the morale of the church’s warriors soared.
Because he was aware of such a situation, the Marquis regained his momentum slightly.
This is to make the soldiers aware of their presence.
Ugh-.
The energy of a fire attribute warrior who has reached the highest level of Tier 2.
At this, the flame siblings with the same attributes brightened their eyes.
Meanwhile, the Marquis stared at Fabreau and spoke.
“Anyway, the old monster who must have been muttering in the church has come all this way… “It seems that the sinners the church is chasing have committed some serious crimes?”
“That’s right. “Please open a way for me to search your territory.”
“It’s impossible.”
Fabro was impressed by the answer that fell like a knife.
“Impossible?”
“This is the territory that the ancestors of the Percilus family have ruled under a mandate from His Majesty the King. “The Persilus family rules this territory, but the actual owner is the Highness of the Kingdom of Canburg.”
“so?”
“This Luther Persilus has a duty to rule harmoniously the land given to him by His Majesty the Majesty the King, so why would he let hundreds of warriors into his territory without permission?”
“Does that mean that you now consider the church that has formed a friendly alliance with the Kingdom of Kanburg as your enemy?”
“I never said anything like that. How anxious would the people of the territory be if hundreds of warriors armed with swords roamed around the territory? I’m just concerned about that. “Please don’t misunderstand.”
“Isn’t that what it sounds like?”
Momentum surged from Fabro’s struggling body.
The marquis, exposed to this, flinched.
‘Huh, a monster is a monster… … .’
When discussing the powerhouses of the Winter Continent, the person who is always mentioned is the great warrior of the church.
An ageless monster crouching in a church.
There was no way that those eating kalbap on the winter continent would not know of its prestigious name.
Even though such a being radiated force, the Marquis did not back down.
He increased his momentum even more, as if he was going to make a life-or-death decision with Fabro.
Tsutsu side -.
When the air between the two stirs and tension spreads to both camps.
A message came into Fabro’s ears.
[Ah, it’s frustrating. Hey, get out of it.]
It’s been a while since I heard a message from Lois, and I was shocked for a moment.
His body ignored the long gap of time and faithfully carried out Lois’ words.
Fabro, who gained momentum first, took a step back.
In his place, Lois darted forward.
Lois opened her mouth with her head tilted amidst the questioning gaze pouring upon her.
“A thief came into the church and disappeared with the religious items. “The thief’s traces led to your territory.”
“… … ?!”
As soon as those words were finished, turmoil spread through both camps.
The Marquis learned that the church’s sacred items had been stolen.
The fact that the young man who was seeing him for the first time revealed something that was almost like a secret to the warriors of the church who were on the outside and did not know Lois.
While both camps were surprised for their own reasons, the Marquis wiggled his eyebrows and asked.
“Who are you?”
“I don’t know anything about that.”
The Marquis’ face stiffened at Lois’ answer, which was too simple.
Either way, Lois just continued to say what she had to say.
“Anyway, since we have revealed the situation, please let us in, right?”
“Not possible.”
“Hey, even though I asked politely, they refused…” … .”
The corners of Lois’ mouth twitched slightly.
“Then there is nothing we can do. The only way is to break through with force. Anyway, we are divided up so that we can fight, so do you want to have a fight?”
The Marquis’s beard trembled at Lois’s harsh tone.
Meanwhile, the twins and flame siblings behind them had a small chat.
“oh? Are you fighting?”
“This is my first time fighting… … .”
“are you okay. “It’s not that difficult.”
“is it so?”
Fabro was watching their tension-free appearance.
“her… … .”
He looked blankly at the sky and muttered.
“Himsunjin is a piece of shit… … .”
I had an ominous feeling that I had come to take care of things and that things would only escalate.
