Episode 190
The Great Temple of the Doctrine of Deusis, located within Scorpon.
A priest walked hurriedly through the ornate chapel.
“Cardinal Vincenzo!”
At the front of the chapel was Cardinal Vincenzo, kneeling and praying.
“It is time for worship now, Father.”
Vincenzo’s voice was low.
This is because I absolutely hated being interrupted during worship.
The priest continued with a troubled expression.
“I’m sorry. It’s such an urgent matter…” “Whew, what’s going on?” “As you said, a magical reaction has occurred within the capital.”
At the words ‘magic reaction’, Cardinal Vincenzo stood up from his seat.
As he turned around, his face took on a grotesque smile.
“I knew it.”
Vincenzo started to walk hurriedly.
The priest also followed suit.
“Choi Hyun-seok! He’s here!”
“Choi Hyun-seok…?”
“There’s no way a demon would suddenly appear here, so it has to be him!”
The priest was an unfamiliar name I was hearing for the first time.
Vincenzo continued to talk to himself, as if he had no intention of solving the priest’s questions.
“I threw a bug that was always bothering me into the water and a big fish came out. Isn’t this all the Pope’s will and God’s will!?”
He spoke rapidly, his eyes wide and sharp.
The priest nodded, trying his best to hide his frightened expression.
I don’t know what he’s saying, but right now I have to follow that crazy cardinal’s words.
“Their objective is obvious anyway. Prepare for battle.” “What do you mean by prepare for battle…?” “Tell him the details. He’ll take care of it.”
“yes!”
Leaving the priest behind who nodded, Vincenzo packed his clothes.
“I must go and see His Majesty the King.”
***
The back alleys of Scolborne.
A middle-aged man and his two daughters led their horses to a damp, deserted place.
“I’m being followed.”
“Don’t worry about it. They’re just a bunch of thugs.”
In recent months, security in Scolborne has deteriorated to its worst state.
As the economy became more difficult, many people lost their jobs, and at the same time, outsiders were accepted indiscriminately.
Thanks to that, if you go to a slightly remote place, you will find a gang like this one settling down.
“Hey, ladies over there.”
Have you arrived at your desired location?
Those who had been immaturely following me began to fully reveal themselves.
At their call, the three women also stopped.
“Okay. I guess this will do.”
The long-haired woman who had seduced Knight Toddy spoke.
The gangsters approached slowly, ignoring her incomprehensible cries.
“Country bumpkins.”
As he speaks, he takes out a dagger from his bosom.
“Right now, give me everything you’ve got.” “If you listen to me, I’ll spare your life? Hehe!”
A gang of thugs who threaten and spout third-rate villain lines.
The woman ignored them and got off her horse.
“You’ve worked hard. Now go back.”
As she gently stroked his head, the horse he was riding fell over.
At the same time, the horse’s belly split open, and a large man crawled out from within.
“Eww! It stinks!”
Choi Hyun-seok, a man who crawled out of a horse’s stomach, kept vomiting.
“I won’t do something like this again. I’d rather just destroy you head on.”
I wonder if that reaction was funny.
Sarah Dunphy, transformed into a long-haired woman, smiled brightly.
“Thanks to you, weren’t you able to enter the capital city comfortably?”
The plan of the party entering the capital was simple.
First, buy a horse outside the capital.
It wasn’t difficult, as many people were unable to enter the city due to the strengthened security.
After that, kill the horse, cut open its stomach, put Choi Hyeon-seok in it, and seal it.
Sarah Dunphy used her necromancy to raise a horse and bring it into the capital.
“When did you learn this?” “I learned it out of necessity. I can only do this kind of trick now, but fortunately, it was useful.”
“Ahem…”
Previously, Sarah Dunphy had almost completely solved the side effects of the undead, and in the process, she seemed to have mastered some necromancy.
“By the way, who are they?”
Choi Hyun-seok looked at the gangsters who were blinking their eyes on one side.
“Well, they wanted us to hand over what we had.” “They were really bad guys! They said they were going to kill us and take our money!”

Rachel, who had been hiding in Abelson’s arms, popped out as if she had been waiting.
As she approached me, she suddenly grabbed her nose and looked like she was going to die.
“Ugh! Sir, that smell makes me feel like vomiting.”
“shut up!”
The person who had the hardest time enduring the stench here was Choi Hyun-seok himself.
“Anyway, they’re bad guys?” “I… I think there was a bit of a misunderstanding…”
The man who appeared to be the leader of the gang said with cold sweat dripping down his face.
Suddenly the horse died and a large man crawled out of it.
Even though I didn’t know exactly what the situation was, I instinctively knew that I had targeted the wrong person.
“Promise me. I will live a good life from now on.”
Choi Hyun-seok said as he approached.
The gangsters nodded their heads repeatedly.
“Of course!”
“I will live as if I am dead!”
Choi Hyun-seok smiled with satisfaction.
“good.”
Then he quickly delivers a series of low kicks.
Crunch-! Bang! Crunch!
In the blink of an eye, the gangster’s leg was broken.
Since my kneecap was shattered, I will be a cripple for the rest of my life unless I get treatment from a priest.
“Kkaaaaaaaaaah-!”
“Ah, ahh…!”
“I let it go because I lived a good life.”
Choi Hyun-seok turned around after knocking out the people who were groaning in pain by hitting their heads.
“Rachel. Do whatever you want. The smell is killing me.” “Ugh… Just a moment.”
Rachel used her magic with one hand covering her nose.
Swaaaah-!
The water swirled around Choi Hyun-seok, wiping away the dirt stuck to his body and clothes.
“Ha, now I can live a little.”
Even though magic didn’t completely get rid of the smell, at least it saved me from feeling nauseous.
Sarah Dunphy came out of a dark alley and clung to Choi Hyun-seok.
“You are more cruel than you look.”
“yes?”
“Aren’t those guys from earlier?”
It was referring to a gang of thugs who had turned him into a crippled person.
“Well, shouldn’t we be thankful that they saved us? If we had been weak to begin with, we would have known what would have happened.” “Of course, that’s right. Those bastards would have nothing to say even if they died.”
Sarah Dunphy nodded in agreement and continued.
“One, the king is not a position that can be reached through fear alone. One must be generous, tolerant, and know how to control people with charisma.” “Um… Thank you for your kind words, but I’m not interested in being a king?”
Sarah Dunphy’s eyes widened at Choi Hyun-seok’s words.
“Huh? I thought you were going to marry Abelson over there and come to lead this country. Didn’t I?” “No, marriage! That’s not it!” “Ahem, I misunderstood.” “Well, actually, if Mr. Abelson agrees, I’m always ready…”
“Hero!”
Suddenly Rachel swung her fist and hit him in the eye.
Choi Hyun-seok shut his eyes tightly and swore.
“What the hell! What are you doing!?” “Wake up! A warrior needs to defeat the Demon King and save the world!” “But you’re hitting him in the eye and making a fuss!” “I can’t sew that damn mouth shut!”
“This is real!”
At that moment, Choi Hyun-seok was holding Rachel tightly.
“Shhh! Everyone be quiet.”
Sarah Dunphy covered their mouths.
“We’ve got a tracker.”
“Another gangster?”
Choi Hyun-seok opened his eyes slowly and said.
“No. This is… divine power.”
The faces of the group hardened at the mention of divine power.
“It was my mistake. It seems like a little bit of magic energy has leaked out.”
Sarah Dunphy had perfect control over her magic, so there was no way she would have been discovered.
The problem is the horse that became undead.
Although I suppressed it as much as possible, it seemed like my magic was leaking out slightly and I was detected by the enemy.
“I thought I wouldn’t be discovered because it was such a crowded city, but I forgot. The relationship between magic and divine power.”
If Sarah Dunphy had used magic, this mistake would not have happened.
However, now it is a world where magic, divine power, and magical power coexist.
Divinity and magic are particularly sensitive to each other.
If you spilled magic in a human city, even a very small amount, it would inevitably be detected by those with divine power.
“There’s nothing we can do. We’ll handle this quickly and run to the palace.” “No, you two can go to the palace.”
“yes…?”
Sarah Dunphy quickly moved away from the group.
“I will release magic to lure the enemy. In the meantime, you take what you need from the palace and escape. We will meet again in the forest where we started.”
“but…”
“There’s no time to argue. Get moving!”
Finally, Sarah Dunphy spoke to Maxwyn Gordon, who had transformed into a middle-aged man.
“As long as I live, the spell will not be broken. That will be convenient for you too. Once this is over and everything is back to normal, I will return it to you.” “Oh, I understand…”
Even though he was a duke of a country, Maxwyn Gordon was overwhelmed by Sarah Dunphy’s aura and could only nod.
“Okay, I’ll see you later.”
With those last words, Sarah Dunphy flew into the sky.
***
The royal palace located within Scolborne.
A woman was walking down the hallway in front of the King’s bedroom.
“Huh~ How much will I get this time?”
The woman’s name is Ebi.
She was also a case of someone who came to the capital with dreams of making a fortune overnight.
And she achieved that dream.
He has already been chosen by King Labrun Marriott four times.
‘Whether they are kings or not, in the end, all men are the same.’
Her hometown is a secluded fiefdom called Dola, located quite far from the capital.
There, Ebi was so adept at manhandling that she had a history of keeping countless men up at night.
“My name is Ebi… Your Majesty…”
Even she was so nervous when she first met the king that she couldn’t even speak properly.
But not anymore.
“Evie. You really have a strange charm!”
After just four meetings, the king became completely smitten with her.
‘If I keep going like this, won’t I end up becoming queen?’
The current king has no wife.
Since he is a commoner, wouldn’t it be possible for him to at least become a concubine, even if it is difficult for him to become a wife?
With such fantasies in her mind, Abi hurriedly walked forward.
“Ugh, did I eat too much oily food earlier…”
He hurried down the stairs, holding his stomach with a pale complexion.
The nearest restroom here is the royal one on the first floor.
Private bathroom.
You should use the guest bathroom, but that’s okay.
A situation where the king’s heart has already been won.
No one could stop her because she was told that she could go wherever she wanted.
‘And the royal family
‘I like the private bathroom the most because it’s so fancy.’
He himself will soon become royalty anyway.
There’s nothing wrong with using it a little early.
Abby arrived at the bathroom and quickly sat down on the toilet.
“Phew…”
She closed her eyes with a sigh of relief.
“Should we take a short break and then go…”
Today, I felt dizzy because I drank too much alcohol.
For some reason, the king was drinking more like crazy than usual and there was nothing he could do about it.
“Ssup~ Haa…”
Evie took deep breaths to blow off the alcohol and repeated the process of inhaling and exhaling.
At that moment.
Rattle rattle!
Someone pulled the bathroom door handle.
‘Huh. I didn’t know I’d be this impatient.’
This is royalty
Private bathroom.
The only one who can come here is King Labrun Marriott.
It was clear that he couldn’t wait for her and had come to see her himself.
Abby chuckled and cleared her throat.
“Ahem, Your Majesty. Please wait a moment. I’ll be there shortly…” Kwaaang-!
The door was smashed open and a large man barged in.
“uh…?”
“huh…?”
About 3 seconds pass as Ebi and Choi Hyun-seok lock eyes.
“Gyaaaahhhh!”
“Eww!”
The screams of a man and a woman echoed.
