Puzzle Matching
The festival atmosphere was no longer found in the impenetrable Imperial family after the appearance of the Horses.
Soldiers roamed the streets squeezing Samoa Jo, and any suspicious citizen had to be inspected.
There were, of course, quite a lot of objections, but most of them complied with enhanced inspections.
The appearance of the Horses was such a big event.
Thanks to the appearance of Leven, the honeybee hive was also being quite relaxed.
Many new customers occupied the place, but I had enough time to talk quietly.
“Come with me. Let’s go up to the room and talk first. ”
But Valine takes Palias to Sonya’s room instead of relaxing.
No matter how drunk he was, he had a hunch that the words he heard from now on were not worth talking about there.
Balin enters the room, confirming that others are coming and sealing the door.
Palias’ face was no different from what he had seen in the stadium before.
How much has changed in the last few days? The current eclipse was cruel enough to endure anything in between.
“Everything else aside… I’m glad you’re alive first. Palias.”
Balin, sitting in the corner of the bed, sighs of relief.
The words were true, not mixed with any dust.
Palias is the leading swordsman among heroes with Balin.
I could tell by the base of Palias’ sword that the sword of all currents was made.
If he were to be handed over to the Demon Prince or the Northtra Empire?
At least one more enemy of the Trident will be born.
I barely got rid of Lennon, but the power’s back on. Nothing worse than that.
“The tower said we left on time, but you didn’t know where we were? ”
“No, Evelyn. Arriving at the Imperial Court was around the start of the first round. ”
Palias replies to Evelyn and unravels his experience.
Balin crosses her arms and overhears the conversation instead of turning the conversation to herself.
It is the same for you to ask what happened in the Imperial family anyway.
As long as the story was coming out on the same topic, there was no need to talk back.
“So I kept practicing at the inn. Occasionally, the teacher comes back to make up for his shortcomings and teach him new assignments. ”
“Hmm…”
This is the story of Palias.
When they arrived in the Imperial City, they borrowed a villager’s house in the North City, and there they continued to work only on their swordsmanship.
Andropos, who rented the house, warned Palias severely.
If we leave the house without his permission, our priestly relationship will be broken at that moment.
A solemn command that cannot be found, Palias follows, scared to death.
Andropos said he wandered around the grounds all day while he was in training at home as his master instructed.
If this were true, it would have been strange.
The last time Balin saw him, Andropos loved Palias as much as Balin did.
His talents were better than anyone else with regard to the shin bones and swordsmanship Heaven gave him.
The best timber ever! Being able to carve his sword there was one of the greatest happiness as a teacher.
But you’ve been walking around all day, ditching that Palias guy?
No matter how much I think about it, it doesn’t make sense. Balin tilts his head as he feels it.
I asked Evelyn if she felt the same.
“Wait, the Andropos ball moved without even looking at you? Did you hear what he did? ”
“I don’t know about that. I’ve asked you a few times, but each time the teacher told me that you shouldn’t know…”
“What are the other features? ”
Balin, who was listening to the story, frowned and asked. Palias thought for a moment and said a few more things.
“I think sometimes when you come back, there was something stained on your clothes. And… and he bought a lot of swords. I saw over 30 of them, and they disappeared in an instant. Oh, right. I noticed you have a slight bruise. Scars and whiplashes. ”
“Hmmm…! ”
Balin, who had heard so far, gave a low moaning.
It’s a stain if you think it’s dusty or stubborn.
Even a Grandmaster can’t care about every little detail of his life.
But there were signs of a struggle no matter how much I thought about it. Traces of a very violent fight, too!
Balin slowly draws a picture of Andropos’ actions in his mind.
I’ve already been with Palias and know how things are going with the Grandmaster.
Thanks to him, it was also possible to guess why he did that.
‘Even if I capture as much Black as I can to cope with the Grandmaster’s error, it will explode in minutes with a Class B artifact and a normal steel sword. ’
A Giant Blade that can feel heavy at the first glance of Andropos.
It was a faint memory, but it was definitely one of the things on the axis of the sword.
But with that level of performance, we won’t be able to withstand the Grandmaster’s error.
Maybe that’s why he bought so many extra swords.
‘Humans continue to grow, but we can’t do that… so we have no choice. ’
Maybe that’s what I would have done. However, the story was different that there was a fresh sneeze and scar.
Contrary to the previous behaviors that required some thought, the conclusion it presented was simple and clear.
The Grand Master’s wounded enemies are in this Imperial Realm!
I have to be here with Lennon and the Emperor of Northtra and the Second Princess.
I was no longer surprised.
So, Andropos fought with Lennon’s henchmen? If you think like that, I think you’ll get along just fine… ”
Balin said with a shivering expression.
“Evelyn. Hold on. I have a few questions. ”
“Yes? Oh, yes. ”
Evelyn, who was asking more questions, handed over the turn of the conversation to Valine.
“Palias, aren’t you tired or tired? ”
“Yes, I’m fine. ”
Perhaps he was faithfully practiced under Andropos, but his voice was strong even after he had plotted his crimes.
At least I’m not getting the answer wrong because I’m tired. Valine takes a deep breath and opens her mouth.
“Just a few more questions, then. First of all, why did Andropos send you? Just you, too. ”
“I can’t take it anymore,” he said. The details are in this letter… ”
“Letter?”
Surprised by Valine’s eyes, you see the paper that Palias was holding.
It was the very paper I had in my hands when I first greeted him.
Palias lowers his head, pushing out the paper.
“Here. Master Andropos told me to show it only to Valine… and then Valine decided.” ”
“…!! ”
Balin hurriedly received the letter. Andropos’ Letter to Yourself!
This might explain Andropos’ behavior so far.
First of all, why didn’t you join us? ’
When I handed over the paper, the neat writing was written down. Balin didn’t even bother to read a single letter.
“Let’s see. I’m sorry to tell you this first…”
The first part was an apology for sending Palias to himself.
I can’t tell you how sorry I am for causing more trouble for Balin.
As Balin, I had to wear my tongue.
If Andropos had joined us sooner, his worries would have halved.
But now that I came to apologize, I was angry, but on the one hand, I had to learn the laughter of abstinence.
However, as I read the contents of the letter, the smile suddenly faded.
It lists the enemies that Andropos met from the beginning, and what he had done in the Imperial City.
“Enemies in the Dark Mana…”
Balin swallows a gulp.
It was not surprising that the enemy of Darkness had already seen Lennon in person.
But what matters is what happens after you get to the Imperial family.
Andropos has defeated enemies plotting throughout the Imperial Circle, adding that some of them have something in common.
‘Even in the houses of the northern unmanned families or in the knights’ barracks, the backgrounds of bankers and information guilds in the west were the same. I always saw enemies with more than one body turned grey, why did each individual outrank the master of the sword… ’
“Why is that? Don’t you know it because you don’t know the writing…”
Sonia tilts her head as she approaches. Valine’s eyes glow, turning her head to the side.
Sonia is said to be the Supreme Sword Master, but only because she was taught by the Cadits and Duke Ketil.
So what if she and Andropos were one-on-one?
Balin has fought both, and that allows her to simulate.
The result, of course, is a total defeat! Sonia may be able to make a single whip or scratch, but no more.
Scars and whiplashes.
Valine swallowed the meaning again.
If Andropos wrote the letter correctly, he said that all the gray humans were the best of the Sword Masters.
Did Lennon have any of his men? ’
No, of course not. Balin shakes his head.
Of course, that doesn’t mean we don’t have the manpower. Sil-Lenon, as a dragon, has an enormous army, and within him are quite a few of the finest of the Horsemen of the Sword Master.
But they’re just south of the Wall. They can’t be here for the Emperor’s War.
Since Lennon was the leader of countless species of monsters,
Moreover, Valine knew the identity of the gray figures.
I have eliminated countless horsemen, but I will never forget as many of them as those gray humans.
Re-hot! Re-hot’s puppets! He sent the dolls! ’
If that’s true, the eclipse is in much greater danger than we thought.
The main ability of Re-Hot is to immerse others in darkness and turn them into puppets.
The dolls become servants of the Re-Hote all the time.
It may be similar to a vampire, but it was even more vicious in that it was shattered into the soul.
Unlike the family tree, the puppets of the Re-Hot cannot go beyond a certain distance.
Therefore, if the dolls were found in the Imperial family, this meant that Re-Hot was already here.
I’m guessing that’s what Lennon looks like now. If he was alive, no matter how Balin flies and crawls, he wouldn’t be able to defeat them.
‘But I’m not sure yet, so let’s read it through. ’
After thinking about it, Balin calms down with a short breath.
The world is vast and there are endless numbers of Horses.
Perhaps one of them is a horse that plays a puppet like a Re-Hot.
The moment you say that you are uncertain, you fall into a trap.
This was one of the lessons Balin learned from catching numerous enemies that way.
