All Power Wizard Part 1 Side Story Episode 016
Ep 6. Night in the capital (2).
It was already time to end the grand banquet held for the war heroes who returned home safely.
The nobles who had gathered to congratulate the knights got into the carriage in groups of three and five and returned home.
For the major, for the reward, for the joy of living
The heavily intoxicated drivers also began to leave, smiling brightly.
Bolvar Peten also wanted to return home, but he missed the opportunity.
“Where are you going! “You should get my drink too!”
“I’m going home now… …
“It still comes to mind vividly. I’m talking about you, running all over the place among the fearsome magic spear knights of half the country, cutting off the heads of more than a dozen high-ranking magicians in an instant. Those Perna guys, they look at you like you’re some kind of ghost.
I saw it. Clue.”
“It is very late. I’ll go back home now… …
“Uh-huh! Are you really like this? Have you spread any kind of honey in your house? “Why do you keep coming home?”
“… … “The people inside are anxiously waiting for me.”
“If you are a bachelor who hasn’t even gotten married yet, what are you doing? As someone who was married first, I advise you to never get married. The moment they get married, even beautiful women turn into beasts. So, just now
Enjoy your life. LOL!”
“I would appreciate your advice, but I would like to get the ceremony done quickly.”
“With that commoner? I saw her at first glance the other day, and she was very beautiful… … . Just let her enjoy it in moderation. What kind of marriage is it to marry a commoner woman? …
“Please stop.”
“••••••what?”
“Please don’t insult me any more. “Please.”
“Well, that… … ! Look at my habit of saying I’m getting some pretties? I am sleeping
“It’s my immediate superior!”
“It’s the same as before! How much does Lord Puvet care for you? I guess that kind of person got caught up in the atmosphere and made a mistake for a moment… … Are you fighting back with a double wick in your eyes? “Are you really like this without any up or down!”
Bolvar Peten felt a curse rise up his throat.
However, no matter how angry he was, swearing in public was not his typical behavior.
Bolvar gritted his teeth and said.
“The day I was promoted to vice-captain. “I will show you what it really is like to have no ups and downs.”
“Well, what… … ?”
“I’ll go. “Go take a look.”
Bolvar slowly lowered his head and turned away.
“Well, that… … ! Have you ever seen such a bastard! Did you just hear that? Threatening your superiors!”
Vicious insults towards him burst out behind his back, but Bolvar
I didn’t look back.
Okay, I have to hold on for now.
It won’t be long before today’s humiliation will be repaid.
If he ascends to the vice-captain position within a few days and the aging leader retires, the Golden Age Division will be in Bolvar’s hands.
All you have to do is endure it for a few short months.
Bolvar had no doubt that it would happen.
♦ ♦ ♦
Bolvar’s house wasn’t that far from the palace, but the way back felt very long.
It was partly because of the late drinking, but also because the streets of the capital had changed so much over the past year spent on the battlefield.
It’s heterogeneous.
The market street where many people used to come and go disappeared, and an official residence was created, blocked by a high wall.
The scenery was so different that I doubted whether this was the capital Bolvar knew.
I was on the verge of tears.
Of these, the one that felt most foreign was the ‘house’ where Bolvar Peten lived.
” huh?”
It had to be a little late, but it wasn’t time for the lights to be off yet.
But why is the light in the room turned off?
Moreover, Bolvar’s favorite meat soup was boiling in the cauldron in the yard.
I’m not the type of person to fall asleep or leave the table while I’m cooking.
Wasn’t she a woman who filled the void left by her own ineptitude with her meticulous personality?
Bolvar sensed something strange and hurriedly got off his horse.
And before I could even open the door, I froze in place, startled.
“blood… …
The smell of blood wafting through the cracks in the door resembled that of the battlefield he had been smelling for nearly a year.
Why does my house smell bloody?
Bolvar hurriedly opened the door, feeling his heart sink.
The ominous premonition turned out to be true.
As soon as I opened the door, what I saw was Emily’s body lying on the floor and traces of blood she had spilled.
“Emily!”
Bolvar barely grabbed his free leg and ran into the room.
And to check if Emily was alive or dead, he put his ear to her heart.
The heart doesn’t even move.
I tried grabbing her by the shoulders and shaking her, hugging her and calling her name, but it was no use.
Emily’s hands were soaked with blood, but Bolvar did not stop.
There was still warmth left in her body.

Maybe it’s not alive?
If I get to the hospital quickly, wouldn’t I be able to survive?
“please please… …
I can’t accept this tragic reality
One Bolvar, holding her in his arms, kicked down the door and went out.
And then I started running blindly in the direction of the nearest doctor’s office.
However, the more he ran, the colder his heart became.
Her arms were drooping, and Emily’s pure white skin had turned pink as if she had been poisoned by something.
Because all the facts said she was already dead.
Bolvar, who had been running for a while, with tears and snot pouring out, gradually slowed down… … .
Soon, it stopped.
You have to accept it.
Emily is already dead.
♦ * ♦
“The cause of death is poisoning. “I think it’s been about two hours since he died.”
When Bolvar heard the words 2 hours, he
I bit my lip.
What would have happened if he had not been caught at the banquet and returned home immediately?
Could she have been saved?
My breathing becomes difficult, and a corner of my chest begins to ache.
It felt like everything was his fault.
“And, there’s something you need to know.”
“… … “What is it?”
“this… … It is not a substance commonly used as a poison. No, rather this
“The fact that it was used as poison is even more absurd.”
“Well, if it’s not poison, what is?”
“It’s a smoke retardant.”
“… … Smoke retardant?”
“yes. It is a flame retardant used in making ‘Signal Bombs’, a magic item with built-in signal magic. You can make a signal flare by mixing sulfur and arsenic appropriately and adding colored spices. But, of course, if a person eats it, he or she will die. “It is not used as poison, but it can be used as poison.”
Sulfur and arsenic.
And spices?
“By any chance, has the culprit been caught?”
“… … “Not yet.”
“I am sorry to say this in front of the deceased, but the culprit is most likely a wizard. Ordinary people cannot easily obtain this kind of smoke retardant. The fact that this kind of smoke retardant was used instead of other poisons that are easy to obtain is highly likely to be magic or someone involved in an alchemy workshop with deep knowledge of magic items.”
“What if he is disguised to look like a wizard?”
“That too is not without possibility… … . In my opinion, it is very low. As I said, this is not something you can get no matter where this guy is trying to get it.”
“… … “I know one person who can save it.”
Sulfur and arsenic.
Additionally, as soon as I heard the word spice, there was one person that came to mind.
Pubet.
A man who ran a spice farm and made a lot of money by expanding his business by making a deal with the Reinark Empire Pension Workshop Association.
Bolvar felt his blood rush as he remembered the smiling face he had seen in the banquet hall a moment ago.
“Knight! Where are you going?”
“If I don’t come back by sunrise, can I ask you to use this money to be cremated?”
“yes? Make-up is not difficult, but… … . Ah, I understand.”
Bolvar put down the bag of gold coins and went outside without delay.
The streets of the capital, which have changed so much, look very heterogeneous.
He could not blend in with the streets of the capital.
No, he began to feel as if everything in the capital was rejecting him.
The eyes of people walking down the street felt like those of an evil monster.
The streetlights shining brightly made me feel like the devil was tempting me.
Why do the walls of tall buildings erected here and there feel so unfamiliar?
peel… … .
That’s probably because she died.
Bolvar’s eyes turned to the placards hanging on the streets of the capital the size of a gate.
『Welcome our war heroes who returned home safely.『
『You who defended the kingdom on a distant battlefield are true heroes.『
“… … “It’s terrible.”
A strange night in the capital, with only the bright moon shining helplessly.
Bolvar imagined Puvet’s face covered in blood, and his eyes turned terrifying.
The night is long.
Tonight will be even longer for him.
* * ♦
Pubet’s office.
“Woah, confirmed!”
“okay?”
“yes! “I saw with my own eyes that they were running to a nearby clinic carrying the body!”
After receiving his subordinate’s report, Pubet immediately turned his gaze to the side.
Next to him, his daughter was sitting, trembling from the ‘murder.’
She opened her eyes brightly and muttered as if she was half out of her mind.
“Now, Lord Bolvar is mine…” … .
I can’t give it to anyone
Puvet looked at his daughter with complicated eyes.
As soon as he told her that it would be difficult to approach Bolvar as long as the commoner was alive, his daughter killed the commoner.
Since he was acquainted with Bolvar, it was not difficult for him to enter Bolvar’s house, and he picked up the ‘smoke retardant’ that was lying around in the warehouse of the mansion and poisoned it by adding it to his drinking water.
You have to have everything you want
is a daughter who looks exactly like her.
Therefore, Pubet was very embarrassed that he would be suspected of being himself… … .
For now, I was thinking that things were going well.
She was a woman who should have been killed someday.
Plus, Bolvar Peten.
His spear skills were great, but he was a stupid guy, wasn’t he?
People who have a smoke retardant are not the only ones who are confident, and if you grill and boil it with the right words, it will definitely pass over again.
In addition, Bolvar’s directly superior knights had been summoned to prepare for any possible situation.
“Don’t worry Bolvar. “If anyone notices, I will tell them well.”
“I owe you a great favor. If you finish this job well, I will prepare a big gift for you. “There is an empty villa in the waters of Mazeros. Wouldn’t it be a good place to stop by for a vacation?”
“Rice, villa… … !”
“It’s weak. However, there is one thing I would like to ask you… …
“Please tell me anything.”
“If the situation is not favorable, there is nothing we can do, but… … You must never hurt Bolvar. As you can see, my wife admires me very much… … ”
“I know. He will be a valuable son-in-law to the Duke, and I will give him a good word. haha.”
The knights’ eyes shone with greed, and Puvet looked relieved.
However, Pubet’s expression instantly became distorted due to just one report.
“Wow, we’re in big trouble!”
“What’s going on!”
“Look, Bolvar Peten! “The car, Changseong driver, has arrived!”
“They barged in? I didn’t even come looking for you, but they barged in! Tell me in more detail… …
At that moment, the three Golden Knights, including Fubet, opened their eyes to the size of a flower lantern.
This is because the head of the subordinate who was reporting was pierced by a sharp crescent spear.
Slowly moving forward like an old tree falling
Behind the piled-up subordinate, Bolvar Peten, covered in blood, stood.
Everyone held their breath as if they had seen a ghost.
Only one person.
“Look, it’s Lord Bolvar! ah… … ! my love!”
Only Pubet’s daughter jumped up from her seat with a voice full of joy.
“That dirty commoner bitch is dead. Now Lord Bolvar is all mine… … !”
She opened her arms and said,
I jumped towards the tunnel.
“… … Oh, no.”
Puvet let out an evil scream.
“no! “Don’t go close!”
Suddenly!
In an instant, the spear knight’s half-moon spear flashed.
