    Chapter 127

    Episode 127

    Slowly. Slowly.

    The horse ran.

    It was a sight of the knights of the County of Bursen heading to the Kingdom of Law, protecting Chris and his party.

    The air was tense, but there was only one person in the place with a relaxed expression on his face, Chris.

    ‘Good. I can go with this kind of escort.’

    The law court is located in the heart of the Gold Cross, far from the border.

    I didn’t know there would be any danger along the way, but I felt relieved.

    ‘Well, the atmosphere isn’t that good.’

    The knights looked at them as if they were looking at their enemies.

    The atmosphere was so ominous that it seemed like something bad would happen at any moment, as they were glancing at Chris and his group from time to time, that Count Roy became thoughtful and gave an order.

    “Even though they are mines, they are envoys who came to find our Gold Cross! Be polite!!”

    ‘If something happens, that Christian, that devil, won’t leave me alone. I have to stop him!’ Count Roy knew very well what a great and terrible devil Christian was.

    If the storm happened, Roy’s life would at least be at stake, so he was desperate.

    The knights grumbled with discontent.

    “And I have to just sit still and watch those dirty little guys.”

    “I want to split my head in two.”

    “Should I challenge you to a duel? If I kill you during the duel, it won’t be a problem, right?”

    Since he didn’t really muffle his voice, Chris and his group heard it clearly.

    Chris yawned and shrugged it off.

    ‘These are the reactions I expected. Well, I guess it’ll continue to be like this in the future.’

    The hatred between the Mines and the Allies is as deep-rooted in history as the conflict between the Devil and the Constellation.

    Thanks to Count Roy’s diligent efforts to prevent the situation from worsening, there was no bloodshed, but instead the knights were left talking foul.

    “By the way, aren’t those guys’ faces no joke? Especially that duke and duchess. Do those Dark Magic guys choose their successor based on their looks? Both of them have faces that would fit perfectly into a red-light district.”

    “They’re both so sexy. They’re my style.”

    “which?”

    “Both of them. Heh heh.”

    “By any chance, are they stuck together or something?”

    “That may be true. The Mines are dirty bastards, and they won’t discriminate against anyone, even relatives or brothers.”

    The knights openly giggled and made disgusting remarks.

    The face of Count Roy turned pale at the excessive story that crossed the line, and he looked at Chris.

    Chris just chuckled.

    ‘They’re cute.’

    Chris’s life was too bleak to be swayed by such stories.

    ‘Still, I guess we need to give some warning.’

    If you just sit back and look down on them, you might come across an idiot who doesn’t know what he’s doing and tries to do something stupid.

    ‘I didn’t think I’d come to the Union without seeing blood.’

    I was trying to turn my gaze to find my opponent.

    Something unexpected happened.

    Phew!

    A loud noise that resounded.

    The face of the knight who had been at the forefront spouting dirty words suddenly turned to the side.

    Someone threw the gauntlet.

    It was Jupienne.

    “It’s a duel.”

    She said with her usual blunt face.

    “If you can, you can kill me during the duel. Mine won’t be held responsible for anything that happens during the duel.”

    “!!”

    “But if I win, I’ll cut out your tongue.”

    The inside of the intestines became cold.

    The one who got slapped was a four-star knight.

    A powerful executive who is counted among the few within the Knights Templar.

    On the other hand, to the knights, Jupienne was just a beautiful girl with a doll-like appearance.

    Of course, everyone knew that Jupienne was the princess of the Dark Maga, but they looked down on her because of her young and delicate appearance.

    The knight who was hit spat out blood-mixed saliva and then growled harshly.

    “How dare you, you dirty little minions. Your hands were itching to move, so this is good. I’ll make you beg for your life.”

    A mana blade of intense red color.

    It was as if he really thought of Jupien as beneath his feet, and instead of aiming for a fatal area like the neck or chest, he was aiming for the right wrist.

    but.

    Pfft!

    The knight’s vision became distorted as the welcome erupted.

    Jupienne’s sword split.

    A magic technique that allows a black sword to be placed in the welcome area.

    and.

    Crunch.

    “Kuaaaah!!”

    A fountain of blood spurted out from the knight’s sword-wielding arm. The arm was cut off in an instant.

    Jupienne’s sword didn’t stop there.

    Crunch.

    The sword dug into the knight’s gaping mouth.

    If I move my sword just one more inch from here, my tongue will be cut off as I first declared.

    “Ugh… Ugh… Ugh….”

    The knight groaned. He was so scared that he even shed tears.

    Jupien stared blankly at the sight and then frowned.

    “It’s dirty even to cut off the tongue.”

    “!!”

    Phew!

    The knight who had been kicked rolled on the floor, and Jupienne returned to Chris’ side as if nothing had happened.

    The room was plunged into silence.

    I was overwhelmed by the momentum.

    What followed was a relatively comfortable journey.

    The atmosphere was still tense, but there was no one to talk carelessly anymore.

    ‘It was a brief comfort.’

    Yeah, this was just the beginning.

    As they entered the Gold Cross, the gaze directed at Chris and his group became increasingly murderous.

    If it weren’t for Count Roy, who Chris brought in as a shield, it would have been a precarious situation that could have happened several times.

    yet.

    The tension was so high it seemed like it was going to explode.

    We have arrived at our destination, Argentina.

    * ? ?* ? ?*

    The country was a small country.

    The territory consisted of a central capital, several satellite cities, and surrounding fiefdoms.

    But no one can ignore the law.

    The Argentine royal family of the Republic are blood relatives of the Holy See.

    As such, it has served as the spiritual pillar of the Gold Cross people who have fought against the Magic Empire for hundreds of years.

    A small but glorious kingdom with the same powerful influence as a great nation.

    As a place with such a tradition, the people of the country had great pride in themselves and were pathologically hostile to Mine.

    ‘But isn’t this an overly grotesque work of art?’

    The moment I passed through the gate and entered, a huge bronze statue placed in the square caught my eye.

    It was a large tree-shaped statue with numerous human heads carved in bronze dangling from its branches.

    The horns on their heads seemed to depict the severed heads of the minions, and their expressions were distorted in agony, as if they had been tortured to death.

    ‘A statue that only the demons of Gehenna would enjoy is proudly displayed in the square.’

    Chris shook his head.

    That must mean the hatred the people of the country have towards the Mines is great.

    In fact, the moment Chris and his group entered the castle, stern gazes poured out.

    The atmosphere felt as if a rock might fly out of somewhere at any moment, so Count Roy’s face turned pale again and he broke out in a cold sweat.

    “These, these are the Dark Maga’s emissaries who came to resolve the epidemic that occurred in our Gold Cross this time! That, that is, they are good minions!!”

    ‘Ugh, why do I have to be like this! Send me home, you devil!’ Incidentally, since they arrived at the kingdom of law, the knights who came with them, including Sir Press, had already returned to the border, so only Count Roy was left behind, swallowing his tears.

    At that moment, a cold voice was heard.

    “Your Majesty, you tell an interesting story. Besides dead mines, there are good mines. Are you messengers from the Dark Maga?”

    “!!”

    He was a tall, blond man.

    He was wearing the emblem of the law and was followed by knights.

    Chris revealed the man’s identity to himself.

    ‘Paladin Miek.’

    It was someone I knew very well.

    One of the knights representing the law kingdom.

    It was the realm of a 5-star elder class.

    ‘He is also famous for his righteous character.’

    Chris, who had thought that far, laughed without realizing it.

    It reminded me of something from the past.

    ‘He was also in charge of my purification ritual.’

    therefore.

    Miek was also one of those who abused him in his childhood under the pretext of purification.

    What makes it so clear that it was abuse was Miek’s expression when the purification ritual was being performed.

    At that time, Miek was enjoying tormenting her younger self.

    ‘I never thought I’d meet this guy as soon as I got to the court.’

    Chris nodded without showing any sign of being bothered.

    “We are messengers of the Dark Maga. You have heard the story from your hometown, right?”

    “I heard. You came as an envoy to confirm the truth about the Black Death that has spread throughout the Federation.”

    “Yes, it is clear that the culprit is trying to frame us, Dark Maga. We will reveal the truth and make him pay the price.”

    Miek nodded.

    Then he spoke in a soft voice.

    A voice that cannot be heard by others. It is directed only to Chris.

    “Shut up, you filthy bunch.”

    “!!”

    “I don’t care what you guys are thinking, so just stay quiet and go back. You requested a visit as a diplomatic envoy, so I had no choice but to accept, but it’s disgusting that insects like you have set foot in our sacred kingdom.”

    Chris chuckled and snickered.

    ‘As expected, this is just like the Miek I knew.’

    Chris thought wryly.

    ‘Should we take this opportunity to deal with it?’

    It wasn’t that I held a grudge against him.

    To be honest, it was such an old story that I had forgotten about it.

    If he held a grudge against those who had tormented him as a child, he would have to slaughter all the people in the kingdom.

    ‘Still, it’s better to kill this guy. For the sake of the future, at least.’

    Even if we kept him alive, he would later become a cancerous entity that would eat away at the Crusade Alliance.

    A rotten bastard who is more harmful than the enemy.

    ‘It’s about time I showed my strength. Since I was the one who started the fight, it’s not my fault if a fight breaks out.’

    Chris finished his calculations and confronted Miek.

    “I don’t care about your frivolous barking. Why don’t you quickly guide me to your master, the Dharma King?”

    “!!”

    “By the way, I had high expectations because you said ‘law country, law country,’ but it seems like there’s nothing special about it. It’s funny to see someone as insignificant as you babbling about without even realizing how high the sky is.”

    Miek’s face flushed with anger.

    At the moment when he couldn’t hold back and was about to tightly grip the sword, he hesitated.

    I made eye contact with Chris.

    “…….”

    Deep, deep.

    Black-red eyes that seem to have swallowed the abyss of the sea.

    A creepy feeling of oppression weighed on Miek.

    It was an instinctive sense of crisis.

    You must not draw your sword.

    ‘What the hell is that? What did that kid say?’

    Miek wiggled his eyebrows as if he couldn’t understand the sensation he was feeling.

    He is elder class.

    Although it was still a 5-star lower class, it was a proper Elder class, unlike Ashed, who was a half-5-star that Chris had defeated a while ago.

    But how can I feel this way about a person who is only 4 years old?

    “Why? What are you hesitating for? Aren’t you going to draw your sword? If you want, you can do it. Mine doesn’t avoid challenges.”

    Miek was busy gritting his teeth.
