Episode 114. Downfall.
Valentine has returned south.
She placed the Moonlight Knights she led at the forefront and unleashed the monster Fenrir, known as the scourge of the West, into the central continent.
This is her will to make it so that no matter who wants war, they can easily come to the south.
Valentine, who returned to the castle after a long time, visited Verdin wearing comfortable clothes rather than armor.
“Would one week be enough?”
Verdin lightly kissed the back of her hand and then answered.
“Yes, sister. If things go wrong, it won’t take much longer than that.”
“Where are we arriving?”
“It’s the Legion.”
“Legion?”
“Yes, to be exact, it is a tower. “I have some business to take care of there before this war starts.”
“Can you guess what that is?”
“… growth.”
“growth?”
“Yes, growth.”
Verdin continued speaking, clenching and unclenching his hands.
“Anyway, this war will be bigger than I thought. “I think my current body has its limits.”
She seemed to have figured out Verdin’s intention right away, and immediately patted his head with worried eyes.
“I guess you’re thinking of going to see that guy.”
“Do you know where I am going?”
“The 29th floor, no, the 30th floor. “I’m sure he wants to go see the apostle there.”
Verdin looked at her with wide eyes.
‘As expected, you know.’
What I think and who is there.
“you’re right.”
“He is weak but strong. “You, who have been to higher places in the tower than me, will know this better.”
Weak but strong.
It was a very fitting explanation for the apostle guarding the 30th floor.
“It might not work out the way you intended.”
“I am prepared. That’s why I asked my sister for a week.”
“… Verdin.”
“Yes, sister.”
“Even if you fail and come back, don’t worry. Even if Strange ends up in the worst situation, I will make sure everything ends in my favor.”

Rox scratched the back of his head in front of an egg as big as his height.
“I delivered the results to a guy named Freddie, just like you said. But even when I told him the news that his captain had lost, he couldn’t believe it until the end.”
Matteo Ricci’s defeat was delivered to Freddie. This was to break Oh Mangseong’s spirit by conveying that his operation had failed.
“good job.”
“however… . “There’s a problem.”
“problem?”
“Yes, Cynthia and Alfredo. “I think they were attacked by the enemy.”
“enemy?”
“I don’t know who it was, but it looks like they attacked those two. “The location is on the road from the central part of the country to the north, but I don’t know the exact location.”
Now that the war hasn’t started yet, who on earth is targeting Cynthia and Alfredo?
Other than the fact that they are in my party, there will be no information known to the enemy.
‘No.’
To put it bluntly, there are no people who can be called enemies. If they weren’t with me, Glazer wouldn’t be on guard against them either.
The Rothschilds will not even be aware of its existence.
‘Then who on earth was after it?’
They must be people who are related to the Glazers and know that they are my strength.
“Is it a pentagram?”
“I don’t know that far. But I don’t think it’s Pentacle. “This guy named Freddie was with me, and this bitch named Wendy seemed to be spying on us from afar.”
Well, that’s what happened to Matteo Ricci, but there’s no way he would target Cynthia and Alfredo in this situation.
“Anyway, the signal from the bug I attached was suddenly cut off.”
Rox seemed to be thinking about something for a moment, then tilted his head and continued speaking.
“No, it’s not that the signal was cut off. I think they found out what my bug was and got rid of it. “That clown said he didn’t even know the location.”
“Someone killed the bug. Cynthia? Or a so-called enemy?”
“uh… . I don’t know that far. Suddenly, bang! “There was an explosion sound, and there was no sound after that.”
I don’t know.
Who on earth did this? Why am I taking those two with me now?
‘damn.’
An unexpected situation was created. There is no problem in the upcoming war, but there is a gap in my plan to reach the top of the tower.
“What is the last location?”
“Continuing north from Legion… . “The two of us parted ways at a crossroads.”
There is only one fork in the road to the north of the Legion, the road leading to ‘Bing Castle’, which is called the Holy Land of Sin, and the Pope’s Office.
“So, did you get attacked by an enemy after you two broke up?”
“Oh, Cynthia’s bug died first. Then it’s Alfredo.”

“Is there any information worth pursuing?”
“Information… There is no Cynthia. There is Alfredo. No, I should say Cynthia is there too. “Because I was with Alfredo.”
“What does that mean? “I heard it happened after Cynthia and Alfredo split up?”
Rox frowned as if it was difficult to explain.
“No, we definitely broke up. We met again? I couldn’t see them both because my vision was blocked by the bugs they had attached. Last I heard, Cynthia and Alfredo joined. “Someone helped them fight the enemy.”
“Who is that?”
“I don’t know about that.”
“So you don’t know who the enemy is, where Cynthia and Alfredo went, or even who helped them?”
“… uh.”
Rox lowered his head without realizing it.
There were inevitable and valid reasons for his failure in his surveillance mission, but looking at the results alone, he was disappointed in himself because he seemed incompetent in not being able to do anything.
“Okay, then let’s chase after him from now on.”
“how?”
“First, let’s go to the northern part of the Legion and find the last traces they left behind. If there was a battle, there will definitely be traces left. Then we will be able to chase them based on their traces.”
“Oh, okay.”
“There’s still plenty of time left, so let’s not rush.”
“It won’t be enough to get to the tower, right?”
“… There’s plenty. “This trip will be very different from the last.”
“okay?”
I nodded briefly and looked at the large egg in the room.
“No reaction yet?”
“Uh, I was watching, but there was no sign.”
“Without the sound of the shell breaking inside?”
“huh.”
It would be perfect if they were born now, but unfortunately hatching is delayed.
‘But it doesn’t matter.’
When the time comes, it will reveal itself to the world, but if it doesn’t show up even when the moment is needed.
‘Because I just have to force it to wake up.’
I know the way.
“By the way, do you know how many giants Diveri has prepared?”
“huh! A total of five so far.”
There are five beast giants, so that would be enough to make a path.
“What about Penduram?”
“They said they saved it. “I heard it’s something you use to find your way in a cave?”
“that’s right. This is the item we will use in this dungeon. “I need that too, so bring it.”
“Okay, that’s not even a problem. Oops – and on the way back from meeting Freddy, D’Berry told me that she had opened the warp gate to the Legion? “You know where the connection is.”
A warp gate that allows you to move from Strange Castle to the Legion at once.
I don’t know what method was used, but Devery succeeded in opening the door.
‘This is clearly illegal.’
The warp gate, which is the exclusive property of the Imperial Army, only allows movement between neutral areas, but they broke that rule and made it possible for Strange to use it directly.
“also.”
My judgment was not wrong.
It was good to leave the foundation for the counterattack to him.
Because he was a former colleague of my father, his skills are guaranteed.
“Hahaha! That’s a door I made a while ago. “Now you can come and use it?!”
Siegfried burst into laughter in a loud voice.
He spoke proudly as if all of this was his own achievement.
“If it weren’t for me, I couldn’t have imagined it. “It’s a door made by pointing a sword at the emperor’s head.”
And I heard that in return for taking up the sword to the emperor, he fought the imperial army for a year.
Thanks to this, a situation arose where many victims were killed due to an unnecessary war.
In some ways it’s really awesome.
Not only did he commit an act that could turn the entire continent into an enemy, and even fight against the emperor, but he also led that war to victory.
‘furthermore.’
The personality of An Ha-muin, who does not care about anyone but himself, is truly amazing.
“Yes, well done. If it weren’t for Master, I would have walked without the warp gate. “I am so thankful that it brings tears to my eyes for making my student’s legs feel comfortable.”
“yes? I am also amazing… . “If I had survived a few more years, I would have gone to the top of the tower with Brunhild and received the panties I was promised.”
Brunhild spewed fire from his mouth.
Ssssssssssssshhhh!
“Shut up! “When did I say I was giving you panties!”
Siegfried stroked his scorched hair with his hand, then pulled out his sword and aimed it at Brunhild.
“So far. Now you have nothing to do. “A cat without panties.”
“what? “Is this really crazy!”
“A cat who does not know a man’s romance deserves to die.”
“What are you saying, you crazy guy?”
“Die, no panties.”
Sigh- Kang!
The Idiot War has begun again.
I turned away from them and went to the basement of the castle with Rox and explained about the warp gate.
“Don’t be nervous, just think of it as submerging your whole body in water. If you follow the path where the blue light shines, you will wake up at your destination.”
* * *
Quack, quack, quack!
Not long after Verdin and Rox left the castle, the large egg placed in the room they were staying in began to break little by little. Incontinence spread in all directions like a spider’s web and a sound like something being gnawed to pieces coming from within it.
Ki-geek, ki-gi-geek.
Valentine, who felt an unusual energy from him, went to Verdin’s room himself.
I arrived thinking that it was either an assassination attempt by the enemy announcing the start of this war, or a runaway run by someone called Verdin’s colleague.
“… egg?”
Kwadeuk, Kigi Geek!
She couldn’t keep her mouth shut at the sight she saw for the first time in her life.
It had a large and thick-looking shell that was incomparable to the countless monster eggs I had seen so far.
Moreover, the life form inside the egg released an unimaginably powerful force through the cracks.
sssss-
What on earth is this unusual object?
Valentine held his sword and thought for a moment whether to cut it or not, but then he smiled when he saw the large caterpillar tickling his feet.
“Verdin, is this your toy?”
She put away her sword and approached cautiously. She then stroked it lightly with her palm and saw what was inside her shell.
‘… I see.’
I learned how you are not afraid of this war.
‘Verdin.’
My younger brother.
Strange’s future.
