Episode 172 Who stole my bones? (3)
As soon as Lois finished speaking, the Marquis raised a large spear.
He growled, glaring at Lois.
“… I don’t know who you are, but when you just said… “You will have to take responsibility.”
“It’s not that difficult to take responsibility. Anyway, let’s have a game, right?”
“… … .”
The Marquis’ face turned bright red.
He wanted to swing the spear right away, but he couldn’t do it easily.
Even in terms of numbers, the church had the upper hand, and each one of them could easily deal with a dozen ordinary soldiers.
Moreover, isn’t there a Fabro who is called a monster who never ages?
If we continue to confront the church like this, the extermination of the territory’s soldiers will be as obvious as fire.
‘How can Daejeon just watch?!’
He could only wonder how the great warrior who was talking to him was just watching this young guy’s reckless actions.
Despite the harsh gaze glaring at her, Lois continued to say what she had to say.
“ah! “Before we play, I have something to ask you.”
“… What.”
“What is the reason for blocking it like this?”
“As I said earlier… … .”
“Ah, it’s a territory given by His Majesty the King, and I have a duty to keep this territory peaceful. is it so. I admit it. “It would be a pain in the ass if hundreds of black men with swords were trampling through the territory.”
“… … .”
“But, if you so cruelly refuse our request for cooperation even after we explained the situation… … .”
“… … .”
“I can only think that the Marquis instigated them to steal the sacred item.”
“… … ?!”
“From what I heard, you didn’t get any results from the closing training last time?”
Lois didn’t continue speaking, but there was no way the Marquis didn’t know what the story behind it was.
Soon a loud roar burst from his mouth.
“Yes Inooooom!”
His shout was so loud that it rang everywhere.
Those standing near the marquis covered their ears.
The Marquis, whose face was so red that it felt like it was going to burst, spat and shouted.
“dare… How dare you look at me! “No matter how frustrated I was in front of the wall, I looked like someone who would resort to such shortcuts!”
“What can’t a person without a back do?”
“this guy! Don’t insult me anymore! “I am not weak enough to borrow the power of external things!”
The moment a shout filled with anger that made the air tremble sounded, a look crossed Lois’s eyes.
Lois said, lightly picking her ears.
“If not, why are you yelling?”
Looking at that scene, Fabro stuck out his tongue.
‘… ‘Your speaking skills that will make the other person bleed to death have not changed.’
If young Lois had done that, it might have been cute, but adult Lois’s taunts were so obnoxious that even normal blood pressure soared.
That was the time when Fabro was so impressed.
[I’m done here. It’s up to you to clean up after yourself.]
“yes? that… … .”
Before Favreau could ask in surprise, Lois quickly retreated and hid behind him.
Fabro blinks in surprise at the sudden situation.
Fabro, who suddenly faced the angry gaze of the Marquis, slumped his shoulders.
‘Ugh… … .’
What can I do?
If a dragon is going to criticize me, I’m going to criticize it.
He sighed and started to sort out the situation.
“Don’t be too sensitive.”
“Daejeonsa!”
“Honestly, I can’t help but think that way, right? As I explained, we are in an urgent situation. “If you give me a way, I will quietly search and retreat so as not to cause any damage to the territory.”
“… … .”
“But if you keep blocking it until the end… “It would seem that the friendship between the church and the Kingdom of Kanburg has cracked as of today.”
The Marquis gritted his teeth at Fabreau’s soft threat.
Eyes that convey some complexity.
A friendly alliance must be maintained with the predecessor church.
However, there was also a reason why the church’s warriors should not be brought into the territory.
After continuing the conflict for a moment, the Marquis gritted his teeth and answered.
“… great. “I will cooperate.”
“Thank you.”
“step!”
cried the Marquis, who hastily interrupted Fabreau.
“We can’t take them all in. “We will only bring in a few people, but we will have the soldiers from our territory help with the search.”
Favreau nodded because a compromise had been reached.
But the Marquis’ words were not over.
“And that guy… … !”

The Marquis’ eyes turned to Lois.
The Marquis said, glaring at Lois with burning eyes.
“That guy won’t even be able to set foot in the territory.”
Lois groaned softly at the murderous voice.
“The back end of Yeonggamtaengi… … .”
The Marquis must have heard the muttering, but his fierceness became even stronger, but he could not move easily because of the great warrior Fabro who blocked his path.
Meanwhile, Fabreau cast a sly look at Lois, asking her what to do.
In response, Lois sent a message.
[Say you understand.]
Favreau nodded.
“That’s right.”
Having said that, Fabro formed a tracking team and sent them into the territory.
The marquis’s troops followed them and spread out into the territory.
Despite the bustle everywhere, the Marquis did not leave his seat.
Instead, he sat on top of me and gave me a curious look.
Of course, the direction the gaze was directed towards was where Lois was.
‘It’s petty.’
The Marquis did not move from his spot, as if he was watching what he was doing.
Lois chuckled at that sight.
Even though the Marquis’ eyes were open and blue, Lois was relaxed.
Even if you can’t go in anyway, wouldn’t it be okay to let someone else in?
He sent a message to the small figure twitching on his chest.
[pin.]
“yes!”
[Go and find out what that old man is hiding. It would be easy to find a place where soldiers don’t go and where they intentionally avoid.]
Lois was sure.
That the old marquis was hiding something.
‘Are they blocking the church simply because the territory’s residents are anxious?’
It was a meaningless excuse.
[Even if it takes a few days… Be sure to find out. I’ll contact you when it’s over.]
“yes! All right!”
Finn, who gave a brief salute, disappeared.
Lois, who felt Finn’s presence disappearing, turned her back on the Marquis, who was still glaring at her.
The corners of his mouth were slightly raised.
After paying attention to the Marquis, Lois looked at the twins and flame siblings who were building a snowman on one side.
“… “Those.”
Four men and women just work hard to build a snowman without paying attention to their surroundings.
“How old are you when you play like that?” … .”
Perhaps the twins started first.
The Flame siblings, who had never made a snowman before, must have been excited to join in.
“after… Children shouldn’t be influenced by twins… … .”
If you do that, your already bad personality will get worse… … .
Lois clicked her tongue as she looked at the twins rolling a large snowball.
Then I shouted.
“Hey, let’s do it together!”
Lois shouted briefly and quickly ran towards the four people.
It was natural that the Marquis’s bewildered gaze followed the back of Lois’s head.
* * *
How many hours have passed?
Around the time Lois and the kids built 10 snowmen, lit a bonfire on one side, and were grilling and eating beef jerky.
Jeopuk-.
A group of troops approached where Fabro and the Marquis were.
“Daejeon Fabro… … .”
“Okay, how…” … .”
Lois stared at them as they squirmed a little.
The Marquis, who had been talking for a while, turned with a cold expression and disappeared.
Afterwards, Lois said as she looked at Fabro who approached her.
“You couldn’t find it, right?”
“… “How did you know?”
Lois did not answer that question.
Instead, I asked something else.
“So what did you decide to do?”
“first… I plan to conduct a further search in conjunction with Marquis Persilus’ troops. We decided to send the rest of the church’s warriors nearby to continue the chase.”
“Good. Do that… “Let’s go back now.”
“yes?”
Fabro tilted his head with a puzzled look.
‘Why are you so quiet?’
It would have been pointless to attack the Marquis of Percilus and overthrow it all at once, but Fabreau was only surprised that Lois retreated so easily.
“What are you doing? “Aren’t you going?”
“yes… going.”
Hearing Lois’ urging voice, Fabro erased his doubts and moved.
Meanwhile, hundreds of church warriors scattered in all directions to find traces of the thieves who had stolen the sacred items again.
And only a small number of people, including Lois, began to go back the way they had come a few hours ago.
Hwioo-.
Just as we were leaving the Percilus territory, the snow that had started to fall gradually became quite thick.
Dagdakdakdakdak-.
A group of members of the church left Percilus territory and entered the valley returning to the church.
Amidst the silence, Fabreau raised the question he had been holding back.
“Mr. Lois.”
“why.”
“that… How did you really know earlier? “You’re not going to find anything in Percilus’ territory?”
“Shouldn’t I say that in words? “You can tell just by looking at the atmosphere going by.”
“Is that so?”
“what… “From the beginning, I roughly expected that I wouldn’t find anything.”
Looking at Lois, who was sucking on the beef jerky and answering casually, Fabro raised a question mark above her head.
Lois smiled and said to Fabro.
“Isn’t it strange?”
“What do you mean?”
“That old man said that. He said that he would not use shortcuts and that he would not borrow the power of foreigners.”
“Why is that… … ?”
“What you’re saying is that you think the whole body is an ‘object’, right?”
“… … ?!”
Fabro’s eyes turned round.
‘surely… … .’
If the Marquis had really stolen and obtained the divine object of the whole body, he would have seen that its substance was an elixir resembling a bone.
Fabro asked with slightly sunken eyes.
“Maybe it’s all just an act?”
“From what I’ve seen, I don’t think that Yeongtaeng is a person who can act that well.”
Fabro nodded unconsciously.
“then… Are you saying he didn’t steal it?”
“I don’t know.”
“yes?”
“I’m sure that old man is hiding something.”
“What is that?”
“This bastard… “How do I know that?”
Lois didn’t know everything about the world.
Of course, it would be different if Finn found out something.
While Lois was smiling to herself, the twins and flame siblings who were listening to the story next to them came close and said a word to each other.
“Then if that old man is hiding something, shouldn’t we dig into it?”
“Is it okay to go back like this? “They might be planning something else while we’re gone, right?”
“Let’s go back there and find out what they’re hiding!”
“Hey, Khan, if we do that, there might be a war, right?”
It was the story of Tania, Kendrick, Khan, and Kanye, one by one.
Lois responded as she watched the group add their opinions one by one.
“No, it’s right to go back now.”
“why?”
Lois answered Tania’s question, which was full of academic enthusiasm, in a friendly voice.
“We found traces of those who stole the sacred item and disappeared. But when I actually got there, there was nothing. is not it?”
“Yes?”
“Then what can we think in this situation?”
“hmm… “How did those thieves escape?”
Lois flicked her fingers left and right.
“No. “You took the wrong direction.”
“sure?”
“It’s not a question of how they disappeared, but ‘why’ they left a trace.”
“… “What do you mean by that?”
“Maybe the traces leading to Percilus’ territory are real. “Because the tracking team wouldn’t have followed the fake trail.”
“Yes.”
“They are the ones who resist the cult’s pursuit and even quietly disappear from the Persilus territory surrounded by hundreds of people. Why did those guys ‘intentionally’ leave traces?”
Kendrick, who was listening to Lois’ story, responded with a stern expression.
“no way… Are you intentionally trying to make them chase you?”
“The direction is the same, but the answer is a bit lacking in details. Give 50 points. “Does anyone have a different opinion?”
The twins answered the story at the same time.
“Are you trying to invite someone?”
“To attract someone?”
Lois said with a smile.
“answer. 100 points for twins.”
The twins who received 100 points smiled brightly.
On the other hand, Fabro asked with a serious face.
“then… Are you saying they left a trace to lure the church’s warriors?”
Lois clicked her tongue at that question.
“Tsk. “How did you become a leader with that head?”
“yes?”
“Think about it. “Who will act if they hear information about the people who stole the sacred items?”
“… … .”
“He desperately wants to retrieve the sacred object and is the most impatient person in the church… … .”
“No way, Lois?!”
Just-.
“Oops!”
“This bastard… Your brain isn’t meant to be used to gain weight. “Listen to the end.”
“yes… … .”
“Again, the guy who wants to retrieve the new item, but is also impatient. However, he is a type of being that rarely comes out of the church. “Who could it be?”
As Lois’ story continued, Fabro’s expression hardened.
“no way… “Is it me?”
“uh.”
Lois nodded.
“Why me… … ?”
“Why would you do that? “Of course you don’t have good intentions, do you?”
“… … .”
“If you really want to know why… … .”
Lois smiled as she said that.
Many, many, many-.
Royce’s slow pace slowly slows down.
Accordingly, the speed of the group following from the rear naturally slowed down.
Lois came to a complete stop and looked straight ahead.
“You should ask them.”
Phew!
The snowfall, which had been getting thicker, has now turned into a fierce snowstorm.
As soon as Lois finished speaking, the ground exploded in all directions.
