EP.135
Galahad was embarrassed.
I knew that Shearer’s personality had changed since Caron’s death, but I didn’t know he would say such extreme things.
But there was no time to persuade Shearer for a long time. The northern residents are looking this way and whispering.
It would be a disaster if you let the guards know. Now, more than anything, we must withdraw quickly and send a message to the Emperor.
“We’ll talk about that later. Shearer. “Evacuation is urgent now.”
“….”
Shearer didn’t answer. Galahad had no choice but to lead Shearer by the arm and enter the tavern.
“Well, are you guys here?”
A deep voice was heard. It was Colon, the innkeeper whose physique was incomparable to that of an imperial man.
Galahad grinned and waved his hand.
“Yo colon. “Did you feel lonely while I was gone?”
“Is that possible? On the contrary, it was very good. “I met a noble person.”
“Noble?”
“Hmm, Izzy deserves my respect. “But haven’t the others arrived yet?”
“I guess I’ll come separately because I have some work to do.”
“Right. Go up and rest. “You look a little tired.”
As Colon pointed, Galahad unconsciously touched his face. My hands were covered in cold sweat.
‘Were you nervous?’
That was natural. I know the strength of the North because I have experienced it.
Just one noble family.
The entire empire might be annihilated by that noble family.
The power of the North is stronger than any other kingdom.
“Haha, I guess it was because I was working out. “I need to take a bath.”
“It might be better that way.”
Galahad naturally raised one corner of his mouth. Colon also smiled. On the surface, the clerk and customer were on perfect terms.
Galahad walked briskly. As I passed in front of the large Colon, a shadow appeared. The moment he was about to reach for the stairs, Galahad moved his hand to the window behind his back.
Quang!
“As expected, I have no sympathy for the North.”
Shearer, who was behind Galahad, chuckled coldly. Galahad narrowed his eyes and glanced back.
Colon was holding a huge mace larger than Shearer’s body. Although Shearer’s sword was blocked.
“What are you doing, Colon?”
“What are you doing? “We are chasing away insects that have invaded without permission!”
Colon shouted and pushed harder. Shearer was clearly a boy. On the outside, it was three times smaller than a colon.
But no matter how hard Colon applied, the mace never got closer to Shearer’s head.
Galahad could see it. At any moment, it would seem that Colon’s mace would crush Shearer’s head like a watermelon, but the reality is different. Because the distance he could see was so far away.
“It’s no use. The guesthouse owner. Even though he looks like that, he is the best knight in the empire.”
“Don’t underestimate me!”
Colon kicks Shearer in the stomach. Shearer gave Colon a hard push with his sword.
“Tsk!”
The colon fell out with a crunching sound. When the huge man fell, the wooden bookshelf shattered and sand dust rose up.
“Have you already noticed?”
Galahad muttered as he looked at the fallen Colon. “It’s bothering me,” he said softly and pulled out his spear.
“Hey old man. To be clear, we didn’t do anything. “It would be difficult if you don’t explain in detail why it’s suddenly like this.”
“I have nothing to say to criminals!”
Colon jumped up and drew a diagonal line at Galahad. Sighing slightly, Galahad crawled into Colon’s arms and struck him in the chin with his elbow.
I aimed the tip of the spear precisely at Colon, who had been pushed away. Colon’s eyes trembled slightly.
“You are no ordinary knight.”
“No matter how strong a northerner is, his skills are not comparable to that of an ordinary inn owner.”
Galahad spoke in a low voice.
“I don’t want to make a fuss here. I’ll give you one last chance. Hey inspiration. “Why did you surprise us?”
“…Because it bothered a noble person.”
“what?”
“Unlike you imperialists who receive the protection of Windsor and do not know the slightest gratitude, we want to repay their grace in some small way.”
“What does that mean? You are so noble… no way. “Does the House of Windsor know we are here?”
It was a problem that could not be easily overcome. Galahad’s hand holding the spear gained strength.
“Do you think I’ll tell you that?”
“Answer me! colon!”
“Don’t be cocky.”
Colon strongly gripped Galahad’s spear with his left hand.
“I was just letting my guard down because I thought you were a small brat – I will deal with you properly from now on as I was once a knight of Windsor.”
The window trembled slightly. Galahad attempted to retrieve the spear. But it didn’t move at all.
Colon’s forearms felt like they were twice as thick as before. A blue light shimmered around his body.
That was an incredible amount of magical power. It easily exceeded the average magical power of an imperial knight.
‘He wasn’t just a simple inn owner!’
Galahad also raised his magic power by biting his molars. Red air currents gradually gathered around the window. But the window did not move at all. Colon clenched his fist and pulled it back.
‘As it is…!’
The moment I was about to let go of the spear, Shearer rushed forward.

“Shearer-! “You must not kill!”
Galahad shouted desperately. Shearer’s sword moved as if it disappeared in the middle.
Colon’s eyes sharpened and he swung his large fist at Shearer.
Kagagak!
It definitely didn’t sound like it had collided with a person’s arm. Colon’s arms were as hard as steel.
“Sigh!”
Colon gave his strength once again. Unlike before, Shearer was pushed back significantly.
At the same time, he struck Galahad hard in the abdomen with his foot. I was able to lessen the impact by removing the spear from Colon’s arm just before he was hit, but-
“Gagging-”
The pressure was so strong that I couldn’t breathe for a moment. Colon slowly walked and grabbed the mace that had fallen to the floor.
Suddenly-
Belatedly, a sword cut wound appeared on Colon’s arm. It was a place where Shearer’s sword was blocked.
“You mean you pierced my magical power? As expected, you guys were dangerous guys. “Why did someone as powerful as you sneak into my inn, or even into the North?”
“I don’t think that’s what you want to say.”
Galahad barely stood up, holding on to the spear. I got my posture right. He stared intensely at Colon with red-stained eyes.
“I never thought an ordinary inn owner would push a knight this far.”
“Surviving to this age in the North means you’re strong.”
Colon chuckled. However, his expression soon hardened and he aimed his mace.
“I survive today too.”
“We have no intention of killing the old man. “You were the one who attacked first, right?”
“I can’t send dangerous people like you to ‘that person’ when I know what I don’t know.”
“Him?”
“okay. “You are still in the growth stage, so we need to protect you.”
‘no way…’
When Galahad heard the term “growing up,” he had ominous thoughts. But the thoughts did not last long.
This is because the moment I blinked, Colon was already in front of me. The mace that seemed to crush everything was struck.
I narrowly avoided it by bending my back backwards. However, even though there was no contact, a subtle vital energy appeared on the face.
‘If you get hit, you die.’
It was different from before. Colon’s words about doing it right were not lies.
‘Is this really true? ‘A simple innkeeper has this kind of power?’
That was beyond Galahad’s common sense.
“Shearer! “I’m going with all my heart!”
“huh.”
Galahad swung his spear in earnest. Shearer also attacked in response.
Colon struck down the spear and sword at a speed unbecoming of his size.
Flames flew at a speed so fast that I couldn’t follow it with my eyes.
But it didn’t last long.
The reason I didn’t treat them with sincerity from the beginning was because the same was true for Galahead.
“Damn, it’s so f*cking hard to just subdue the inn owner.”
Colon was forced to kneel with wounds all over his body.
The eyes were still ferocious, but there was no strength left to move any longer.
Shearer aimed his sword without breaking a sweat. Galahad warned.
“Shearer. It’s okay if you subdue it. We won’t be able to move anyway, so we’ll leave the north. Let’s move quickly. “It’s too late.”
“Let’s kill him.”
Shearer did not listen to Galahad.
“I said I don’t have time! This is such a fuss. “It’s a good thing the others didn’t come out.”
“You don’t need to worry about that.”
Colon said in a weak voice.
“There is a device hanging here that prevents sound and vibration from being transmitted.”
“what?”
“It means what you worry about won’t happen.”
Colon raised the corners of his mouth.
“Because I can’t wake him up.”
Galahad once again felt the sense of déjà vu he had felt earlier.
‘His growth period and sleep.’
That vague anxiety grew bigger and bigger.
From earlier, Colon had been acting as if he was chasing someone.
That applies to…
‘Luid Christopher?’
Galahad’s eyes widened.
“No way.”
And Galahad wasn’t the only one to make that assumption.
Shearer also inferred the same thing.
the problem is-
“Luid.”
The moment that name was uttered, Shearer’s mood changed.
“Now I know. “You are a precious person to Lloyd Christopher.”
Without even having time to think long, Galahad swung his spear to block Shearer. But by then it was already too late.
“…!”
This was after Shearer passed Colon. Shearer swung his sword in the air and then sheathed it.
“You can’t stand.”
Galahad stammered and hurriedly approached Colon.
“hey!”
The moment you touch your colon-
Puhaaaaaaa!
Blood spurted from my neck like a fountain. His large body fell without any resistance.
A chill ran down my spine. I turned my neck like a machine and looked at Shearer. Shearer’s pupils were cloudy and gray haziness appeared around his body.
It is vibrating in accordance with the emotion called ‘anger’.
It didn’t take long for that feeling of anger to turn into life.
“I will definitely kill you with my own hands. Louis Christopher Windsor.”

Something small was crawling under the blanket.
It rolled from side to side and soon fell under the bed.
bean.
“ah.”
Ruid woke up and opened one eye. I looked out the window with blurry eyes.
“It’s already evening. “How long have you slept?”
I tried to take a short nap, but I wonder if fatigue was the cause.
Is it to recover the magical energy that was used against the imperial army last time?
I fell asleep longer than I thought.
Ruid stretched out and staggered out of his seat, took a sip of water, opened the door, and went out.
“They’re not coming by this time… I’ll just have to find them from here.”
You never know. Maybe he saw himself sleeping and ran away in a hurry.
He must have not noticed because he seemed to be sleeping quite deeply.
I wandered down the first floor stairs to ask Colon if there had been intruders.
“Colon…no one came in…”
And then Ruid sees it.
The counter is a mess.
Blood stains scattered all over the broken table.
Colon was dead with his eyes closed and with a deep stab wound to his neck.
