Chapter 190 – 42. Finger of God. (5)
Vermandois quarantined those who became immortal in the dungeon. Having already become beasts of rage due to inability to sleep and loss of reason, they could no longer be called human beings.
After the uproar, there were no more victims of the curse in Vermandois. No matter how tempting the offer of immortality is, if it involves eternal pain, you have no choice but to be reluctant.
As expected, it seems that the Undead mob has created a big commotion in the capital city as well, as the sucker mage heard from Granzo Danju. Since the capital was even bigger than Vermandois, the scale of the riot seemed enormous.
“It seems that they are aware of the seriousness of the situation. … Sooner or later, there will be a top 10 meeting in the capital.”
Of course, as promised, the top 10 conference will be held in the capital city. In fact, Allen wasn’t even in the top 10, so he had little to do with it, but it was very likely that Viola would point him out as a companion. If he did, he had no intention of turning him down either.
This was an event that went all the way to the imperial palace. In other words, the rewards you get when you complete the event are huge.
… Of course, the event is so damn fucked up, but now that he has grown so much, he has become a body that can no longer be satisfied with crumbly rewards. And since it’s time to start working on the top 10, it’s beneficial to participate in such a large-scale event as much as possible.
Also, the blind saintess was very venomous, and she seemed to be trying to somehow kill the people behind this incident. Furthermore, after learning the context of the incident, she even said something like a revelation to herself.
– It’s only right to give the finger back to God!
Anyway, Vermandois, which had been hot for a while due to the accident, was back to normal. …… There were cases where undead Undead were found in civilian homes on rare occasions, but it did not turn into a major accident. No matter how immortal he is, it’s not like he suddenly gains superpowers that he didn’t have before.
…… Of course, those who were terminally ill or on the verge of death often attempted to contact the self-styled liberators. There are people who are terribly hungry or people who live a low life, and there are voices saying that immortality would be better than living like this. The theory that it would be better to be freed from death rather than live this way or live that way.
While they were having their own trivial argument, a call came from the capital.
10 lecture call.
However, it was not an issue agreed between the 10 rivers, but an imperial order sent from the imperial palace. As long as the imperial palace acknowledged the 10th grade in particular and even allowed them to use the battle, the imperial order was all the more irresistible to them. … If you don’t like that, drop the 10th.
Naturally, Danju the viola moved her heavy hips to support Hwang Myeong. As expected, it was Allen Danju who was pointed out as her companion. Allen, who had been warned in advance on her bed before making the official designation, was already ready to leave for the capital.
Thus, Viola-Mercenary Corps and Allen-Mercenary Corps headed to the capital ahead of Gione-Mercenary Corps with a splendid procession.
It may have arrived in such a short time.
However, unlike usual, there was something strange about the capital. Of course, that lively appearance is still there, but the cluttered feeling that lies underneath….
The scale of the commotion in the capital seemed to be enormous beyond imagination. He even said that there were some nobles at the center of the incident. Wanting to overcome death is the desire of all human beings, regardless of high or low class.
As if to prove that a great disaster had occurred, remnants of the uproar that had not been erased still remained here and there in the capital. Even the security guards going all over the back alleys also feel distinctly different from before.
Anyone who wanted to see a suspicious person there was subject to a surprise inspection without exception. Of course, the inspection was simple. I just need to check if my index finger is there or not.
“Vermandois and the capital, everything is a mess. It’s a mess.”
The furry Geese clicked his tongue as he sensed the bloody atmosphere.
Of course, compared to Vermandois, where incidents and accidents never cease, it was very unusual for such a riot to take place in a particularly peaceful capital city, so it was not understandable that they reacted in such an unusual way. Furthermore, isn’t this the place where the continent’s greatest bread, the emperor, is located!
Anyway, the two mercenaries settled down at a luxurious inn near the east gate and unpacked their belongings. After hearing the rumors, it seems that there are about two top 10 that haven’t arrived yet. … Even so, they will all arrive within 15 days at the most.
Allen gave his crew free time. Of course, I warned them several times not to get caught up in a commotion. In this unusual time, it won’t do you any good for your reputation if you talk about it for nothing.
Danju also went to meet the Prophet Alloa after a long time, accompanied by Archer Georg as an escort. I’ve come to this distant capital, and it’s polite to say hello and visit.
“Mr. Allen!”
“Ms. Alloa.”
The Prophet smiled brightly as if to greet her husband who had returned from a long day of work outside. She wanted to express her joy by falling into his arms, but…… , Since they were still close friends, he had to be satisfied with a friendly handshake.
“How is this… ?”
“I participated as a companion of Danju Viola. The 10th meeting will be held soon.”
“Oh, I see. … Oh, look at my mind. Please sit down.”
Alloa, who had been depressed ever since dreaming of the prophecy of God’s finger, for the first time in a while forgot all her worries and felt happy.
“The gift you sent me is really well used. Thank you, really.”
“No. How many times have you supported me so far? Thanks for helping me a lot in a difficult time. Thanks.”
Allen reached out and gently caressed the back of Alloa’s hand on the table.
Oh
The Prophet couldn’t help but laugh at the warmth he felt in his hands.
She is,
…… Because it is her wife’s mission to support her husband…….
I want to say, she was very itchy in her mouth. …… But where will her mother go?
“Warning about the finger of God, well received.”
…… Ah…….
“Has there been any more prophecies since then?”
Allen asked just in case. She is the one who is quick about the [Guild master], But this is not a game, it is reality. It was the right attitude to always assume that a phenomenon he was not aware of might occur and to constantly look at it.
“I made up a couple more similar ones, but nothing really new.”
“Is that so.”
“…… It wasn’t serious. You must be careful…… !”
“Do not worry. I’m always careful. If you do it the wrong way, neither the mouse nor the bird could die.”
To die by a blind sword—. Sober without force was the most dangerous. That’s why he’s always protected with a mage or healer in the 3rd line, but always be careful though. …… If I had even a talent for martial arts, I would have trained harder, but unfortunately, this damn body was far from martial arts.
There’s no use for anything other than being fucking big and handsome!
Strictly speaking, all the knowledge he now shows was brought back from Earth by Jihoo, but Allen originally knew nothing. They just know how to do clumsy shit. … Frankly, Charlotte was negligible.
The two men and women started by saying hello and talking about this and that. Then, when I came to my senses, I thought, “Oh, it’s already been a while.”
Allen got up before it was too late.
“Then, I’ll just go. I had fun today.”
“… Ah yes…. Well, see you next time… !”
Alloa was very sorry, but she couldn’t see him off with tears as he was about to leave.
Sunset sky.
Allen and the new archer returned to the inn, walking silently along the red-stained avenue.
He was thinking of having a hearty dinner with the crew after a while and oiling his belly….
What is this!
An unexpected person had visited the inn and was waiting for him in the drawing room.
“… Just now, who are you?”
“The prince is telling you… !”
Ah.
It seems that the middle-aged prince who was on a false gold mission with him in the past visited here.
There was no way that the prince had personally visited this place just for the purpose of socializing, and he speculated that it might have been related to the undead incident. This is something the imperial palace is also very concerned about. And there’s no way he could sit still on an important mission for the imperial palace.
So, Allen headed to the parlor on the third floor where His Highness the Prince was waiting. Seeing knights in shining armor standing guard outside the door, I really felt that the prince had arrived.
“Give me Allen.”
– Come in.
After permission was granted, Allen entered the drawing room.
“I heard that tigers will come when I say it, so our heroine just showed up!”
The middle-aged prince welcomed Allen with a big smile.
“How have you been, Your Highness?”
“Okay, how have you been?”
“Yes, I got along just fine.”
There were five people in the room, excluding Allen.
Three men, two women.
The three men are the prince and his shadow, Baron Bornoff, and Grenzo the infernal.
And the two women, the viola troupe and…… , And…….
……… Ah……….
The moment he saw the woman sitting next to the prince, Allen’s thoughts stopped.
“Oh yeah. I didn’t introduce you here.”
When Allen’s gaze reached her, the prince smiled broadly and glanced at her woman. It’s like seeing a matching pair.
It had been years since he left Earth, but her face was still vivid in her mind. So, as soon as she saw it, the identity was immediately fixed in her head.
…… How can I forget that! It was the last character I attacked before coming here.
“Nice to meet you. My name is Agnes Neptune.”
A beautiful maiden with a spirit as sharp as a sharpened sword.
Before the appearance of Natasha, the gum milk tester, a woman who was noticed as the next sword test.
A named character that is difficult to attack.
Agnes Neptune.
… Allen finally
I came face to face with that great face.
