EP.131
“What is that….”
Justin looked perplexed.
“Lu Rui?”
Hersy approached in confusion.
Ruid looked at Justin calmly.
‘I can’t feel anything.’
If you look at the magic power, you can tell that it is quite a fake.
But I felt nothing.
Either it was a simple mistake or it wasn’t magic.
‘…There is no basis whatsoever. But it’s more likely the latter.’
Assuming that is the case, there is only one answer.
The Sin of Lust Lilith.
Her power is ‘soul’, which
allows her to remove the opponent’s soul and then take over their body.
Although its direct combat power is not high, it has various other troublesome powers, making it difficult to deal with.
Justin in the original also had a harder time with Lilith than anyone else.
Ruid let go of Justin’s collar.
‘Does it matter?’
“Nothing.”
He said with a bright smile and turned around and walked away.
The warlock’s scheme had penetrated so deeply into me without my knowledge.
I didn’t feel very good.
But this was an opportunity.
As the warlocks’ magic spreads, Delrin’s resurrection becomes faster.
All you have to do is bring the first emperor back to life.
After saving those two…
‘I will not forgive you for daring to step on northern land without permission.’
**
The Earl of Queensberry was a middle-aged man with a huge physique that was unusual for a family of wizards.
He has a better body than most knights and enjoys fighting up close in actual battles.
I usually put on body strengthening magic and go out to fight. He has a fiery personality and, above all, he is a fool.
“Count! “This is Windsor’s fourth defense line!”
“Is that the 4th defense line?”
“yes!”
The Earl of Queensberry whispered in a low voice to the knight next to him.
The driver loudly shouted “Stop!” and raised his right hand and clenched his fist.
He got off his horse and looked at the huge Windsor Castle visible to the naked eye.
‘That’s Windsor Castle.’
His eyes sank calmly. But the burning eyes could not be hidden.
“How dare you not protect Sophia?”
Earl of Queensberry.
In the empire, it is the count family with the highest fighting power, excluding the imperial family and Minerva.
They are a family of war heroes, and the know-how they have accumulated is enough to be recognized by the imperial family.
Therefore, with the help of 4,000 magic knights and 1,000 imperial knights, he led a total of 5,000 troops and set foot on the northern lands.
The Earl of Queensberry was confident. This force can slaughter any family in the empire in an instant.
Even if it’s Windsor.
“I received a call from the scouts!”
“What should I say?”
A knight holding a crystal ball jumped from his horse. Inside the crystal sphere, a man dressed in ordinary clothes bowed.
He is a member of the ‘Knights of the Garter’ sent to investigate the circumstances of the Windsor family in advance.
An order of knights that inherited the Teutonic Knights, the elite elite of the imperial family. Their skills go without saying, and they are without a doubt the best knights in the empire.
With their outstanding skills, they infiltrated the first line of defense without any problems and assessed the situation.
“……First of all, it seems that Lady Sophia’s death is confirmed.”
“shit!”
Cursing and complaining was heard among the knights.
However, the Earl of Queensberry’s expression was just calm.
I fully realize that he is already dead.
As the head of a family, I can’t throw everything away because of my daughter’s death. There is some degree of restraint.
but-
Wow.
The inside of his knight’s gloves were soaked with blood.
“How is the situation?”
“It seems like a somewhat confusing situation. From what I heard, a large wave is coming from the 1st and 9th defense lines, and it looks like they are busy blocking it.”
“Right. “Is the fourth line of defense empty?”
The Duke of Windsor is shrouded in mystery.
However, a noble of that level knows quite a lot.
A big wave comes once a month, and at that time, the Duke of Windsor has no time to spare.

And the fourth line of defense on which he stands is the core of the Duke of Windsor.
This is because Windsor Castle, which has been around for a thousand years, is located here.
“Everything is going in our favor.”
“Congratulations. “At this level, it is no different from a bloodless entry.”
“bloke!”
The Earl of Queensberry spoke cruelly.
“Don’t relax even for a moment. We don’t know what Windsor is hiding. but…”
He subtly raised the corners of his mouth.
“It’s not as big a deal as you think. “That Windsor too.”
“ha ha ha-!”
The knights all laughed together.
But it was a somewhat awkward laugh.
Rationally, I know that Windsor’s main forces are not in the 4th defense line, but…
A large castle that can be seen from afar.
A developed city covered in snow.
This space, which felt subtly unfamiliar, had everything to say.
‘Don’t touch it.’
I felt like a barbarian trespassing on sacred and inviolable territory.
The Earl of Queensberry had similar feelings. For a moment, I thought, ‘Should I go back?’, but I couldn’t.
What is an empire to this arrogant operative who shows no remorse after driving his own daughter to death? We need to clearly explain what queensberry is.
It was closer to a sense of duty.
“let’s go.”
“yes. “Let’s go!”
5,000 knights moved in unison.
The Earl of Queensberry was filled with confidence when he saw this enormous force that could destroy a kingdom.
‘okay. Windsor, no matter what you are hiding, you are helpless in the face of this overwhelming force. ‘Please accept the punishment for killing my daughter.’
The intention was to destroy at least the fourth defense line.
I heard the emperor’s edict ordering me not to go to extremes, but I thought that would be okay.
The Earl of Queensberry moved his horse slowly. There was snow everywhere, so there was a high chance of falling if you ran.
At that time, a strong snowstorm hit.
“Secure yourself with your lance and sword! “A strong blizzard is coming!”
“yes!”
The knights quickly dismounted from their horses and put their swords and lances into their swords. I grabbed the reins of my horse and covered my eyes to prepare for the coming snowstorm.
Whiiing-!
“Tsk.”
A chill enveloped my skin.
After enduring the blizzard for about 30 seconds, the Earl of Queensberry opened his eyes.
“…This.”
The Earl of Queensberry saw a sight that had never been seen before.
A big rock.
A blond boy sleeping on top of him.
His skin was white and his overall aura was elegant, as if anyone could see that he was a nobleman.
The Earl of Queensberry knew who this boy was.
“…Loid Christopher Windsor.”
A genius wizard who may surpass Delrin.
He immediately overpowered the warlock who infiltrated the academy and single-handedly created an unprecedentedly strong barrier.
His theories and every word brought about a new paradigm in academia, and he was 12 years old.
At the age of 12, I had so many nicknames that I couldn’t even list them all. For a wizard called the ‘Wizard of Time,’ he received a nickname that was nothing short of deification.
But the most famous one among them all.
“Lazy Ruid.”
The Earl of Queensberry’s aide spoke as if possessed.
Did you hear that sound?
The boy woke up.
Very leisurely and slowly, I stood up and rubbed my eyes.
Even though I saw many people gathered, my pupils did not waver at all.
He just blurted it out as if it was annoying.
“It’s true. An uninvited guest arrived. “There are so many of them.”
“You are all.”
gulp.
Even though it was this cold, cold sweat broke out on the back of the aide’s neck.
However, the Earl of Queensberry’s eyes actually burned brightly.
“It’s been a while. Prince Luid.”
“….”
“Did you see the letter asking you to take good care of my daughter?”
“I don’t know about that.”
Ruid yawned long. He looked up at the Earl of Queensberry and said.
“The assistant is disposing of all the letters.”
“…!”
The Count bit his molars hard.
“You mean you burned a letter from a single family head without even reading it?”
“huh. “One or two should come.”
“Do you not have any respect for the imperial nobility?”
“doesn’t exist.”
The Count’s face turned red.
How far is this young boy willing to test his patience?
“Why did you come? “Leading a lot of small children.”
Ruid asked indifferently.
Suddenly, something snapped in the earl’s head.
But it didn’t show on the outside.
That is the nobility of the empire.
“I understand what you mean.”
A cold voice filled the small boy. I put my hand in my inner pocket.
‘No matter how genius you are, you can only do theory. There is a limit to the magical power that a human can achieve at the age of 12.’
Before taking out his wand, the Count asked his last question.
“Prince Luid. “Can I ask you one question?”
“huh.”
“…Is Sophia alive?”
Here, if all the sins were acknowledged and apologized, the Earl of Queensberry was willing to forgive to some extent.
This was to the extent of executing several of the main knights of the first line of defense who were supposed to be in charge of Sophia’s safety.
But, if you lie and insult me to the end just to avoid this situation right away-
Even if half of this army disappears, we are willing to fight an all-out war.
“Sophia…”
The Earl of Queensberry focused all his senses on Louis.
Ruid spoke in a clear voice.
“Sophia is not dead.”
“Damn you little boy!”
The count shouted, took out his cane, and swung it at Ruid.
The purple magic blade symbolizing Queensberry was stabbed towards Ruid.
Kwaang kwaaang!
The Count continued to swing his wand. There was a loud noise and snow flew like powder. Nevertheless, he continued to fire magic without stopping.
Magic battle.
People who don’t know much about magic think that they can’t win if there is a difference in hierarchy.
I believe that the one with the highest hierarchy always wins. But that’s wrong.
The most important thing in magic warfare is experience. And the amount of horsepower.
Even first-level magic is enough to kill a person.
The Earl of Queensberry knew that Luid was formidable.
But I believed I could win. Numerous battlefields have been crossed.
As the margrave protecting the corners of the empire, he fought and defeated barbarians countless times.
I didn’t neglect my training enough to lose to a kid like that.
This fight is your victory.
“Huh huh huh.”
The Earl of Queensberry let out a heavy breath. About half of the magic power was used. This was a light performance.
Act as if all magical power has been used to catch the opponent off guard.
‘Real’ is close combat.
‘I used this much magic. No matter how genius he was, he would have been caught off guard by the surprise magic and would have consumed a lot of his magic power. Besides, I have thousands of articles.’
The Count put away his walking stick and walked toward the foggy snow.
“Confucius. “You made two mistakes.”
“For one thing, he dared to appear in front of us alone.”
“The two did not prepare thoroughly due to their own arrogance.”
“three. … He killed his friend and didn’t take any responsibility.”
The Earl of Queensberry threw up his hand.
The snow cleared, revealing the results of the magic he had used.
“…!”
There wasn’t.
The rock on which Ruid was sitting was broken into pieces, but there was no one there.
“how…”
At that moment, the Count felt a chill go down his spine.
“Well, Sophia is alive.”
A voice was heard from above. I hurriedly looked up. Luid was looking down at himself with a bored expression.
Out of thin air.
Not a single hem of the clothes was wrinkled.
The barrier was not activated.
That means one thing.
‘It wasn’t right in the first place.’
“You brought this upon yourself. “I wanted it to be as peaceful as possible.”
Ruid stretched his fist into the air.
He raised one index finger and lowered it lightly.
“Fall down.”
**
“I like it here.”
Ruid crawled through the rice straw.
After all, I get sleepy when I use magic.
Since we did what we were told to do, let’s sleep comfortably.
Druk-
I was about to go to sleep when the door opened.
I just had to stick out my face to see who it was.
It was Irene.
“sister.”
“Louis.”
Irene approached Ruid with a strange smile.
“Did you finish your work well?”
“It’s too late.”
“Sorry.”
“…huh. “The job was done well.”
Irene walked over and sat in front of Ruid.
“Did you kill him?”
Ruid shook his head.
“no.”
Irene looked at Luid with a slightly disappointed expression.
“It’s your choice. But how did you handle it?”
“I used the fall down spell.”
“Fall down?”
Fall down.
This is a magic created by Ruid.
The name was referenced from a movie.
‘I don’t want to kill people. yet.’
“That… what kind of magic is it?”
“It’s magic that fights against each other.”
“huh?”
Ruid said indifferently.
“Until we die.”
When Irene heard those words, she blinked once and her smile gradually deepened.
