Chapter 466 – A Trip Just for Two
Gurgling-
Count Howl, the leader of the investigation team, opened a bottle of wine lying around in the mansion and shoved it into the spout.
It must have been the mansion of a golden ball who wipes golden poop with golden toilet paper. It tasted so good – it was a delicacy.
The fight is over.
The huge monster fell, destroying the mansion, and soon died.
Arachne, who had spread spider webs all over the place, resisted until the end and was fiercely oxidized, and the cockroach – that bastard – suddenly went on a rampage.
In the blink of an eye, it shed its skin and disappeared.
I followed the trace and realized that there was a hole in it.
But I couldn’t track him anymore.
The tunnel completely collapsed. Maybe he was playing a trick.
“Such a haircut…!”
The black-haired man slams his fist against the awkward wall.
Not paying attention to the blood flowing from his fist, he sits down and rips out his hair.
Hmm, that doesn’t seem like acting…
The Count, who had been leisurely sipping wine, was now looking closely at the black-haired man, Seojun.
Suspicious guy-.
That’s what I thought when I first saw it. If you made a mistake, I planned to crush your head with a sledgehammer.
However, just as he said, it existed in the mansion.
Yes, the cockroach at the side door.
The count recalled the first time he mixed a cockroach with a move.
Even then, the count sensed his death.
No matter how strong a warrior he is, he cannot overcome time.
He may have been in his prime, but he is now old and sick.
By the time the sun rises, I have no strength in my lower legs, and my strength in swinging a hammer is not as strong as it used to be.
In the end, all the Count could do was hold on without breaking.
With the appearance of Arachne and a monster large enough to destroy the mansion in an instant, the Count said, “This is where my chaotic journey ends…!” And he lamented.
But it wasn’t.
An unknown wizard controlling the grassroots helped them.
The count recognized it as soon as he saw it.
Flower of evil…!
That Andalote! That devilish woman is here!
The majority of the survey corps were excited, saying that it was clear that God had helped us, but the Count did not let go of his suspicions – and recognized that the war nun sitting next to Seojun was that woman.
And it seems that the Count over there also recognized him.
However, the woman was just in despair towards the black-haired man, and she did not show any hostility.
It was unexpected.
I knew very well how much that woman missed the empire.
The Count understood it all.
How can they not curse the empire when their ancestors were trampled under the feet of the empire and their entire species was driven to extinction? How can we just watch the existence of the empire?
However, the count was the chief inspector of the empire, and he had no intention of abandoning his duty as long as the empire was suffering.
No matter how much he is treated like an old hunting dog.
“Keu-.”
As the count stands up and approaches them, the war nun, covering her face with her cotton, turns her head and looks this way.
The Count swallowed hard. Even when we get old, we are always afraid of death.
Still, the Count pretended nothing was wrong and quenched his thirst by taking a sip of wine, then pointed with his finger to Gunyeong, where the cockroach had escaped.
“It’s the tracks of a tunnel rat. The only ones running away are like ghosts.”
The tunnel has disappeared.
He probably erased it without leaving a trace. It was safe to say that there was no way to find it now.
The count looked around at his son-in-law.
Everyone was busy post-processing the battle.
Many soldiers were injured or killed.
Even now, there were war nuns who were hit by tentacles and were having seizures, rolling their eyes like epileptics.
Because they mixed with an unknown monster, they will have to be detained at the Holy Church for a while to check if there is anything wrong with their bodies.
A situation where the power was literally cut in half.
Even if all was well, it would be a tough fight against that woman, and the Count himself was exhausted from all the exertion, so it was as obvious as fire that if this woman turned against her right away, everyone would be annihilated.
“Is there any way to find them?”
The woman asks again.
He raised his mana to be able to respond at any time, but he remained polite.
The Count tilted the wine bottle again. Hot alcohol flows down his throat.
He glanced at the dark-haired man out of the corner of his eye.
What is the reason why the Flower of Evil showed itself in front of the Survey Corps?-.
Why did you betray your comrades at the side gate and help the Survey Corps when killing them wasn’t enough?
Why are we talking so politely at this golden opportunity to completely annihilate the Survey Corps?
“… I know someone who might know that.”
It was all because of that black-haired guy.
I don’t know why, but that little one is suppressing the flower of evil.
So there was no reason to show hostility from this side right away. There was no need to scrape and make crumbs.
“If you want to deal with those who dig tunnels, you should ask those who also made their home underground.”
The count decided to do a favor.
The flower of evil is hostile to cockroaches.
If they were going to take care of getting rid of him on the other side, then this side was in a situation where they would fight with both hands.
Yes, this is it – this is it.
“His name is Tormund. He’s probably having a night out in the city next door. “If only he hadn’t gotten into a fight with a local official and been kicked out because of his temper.”
The woman nodded and stood up, supporting her black-haired man.
The Count cleared his throat and asked for permission to talk to him alone for a moment.
The woman shook her head.
It looks like he has no intention of leaving his seat. I thought he cared for her a lot – rather, the Count became convinced.
“Hey black hair.”
Ha Seo-jun and Esong-i raise their proud faces and look straight at the count.
The count said.
“My name is Howl Craver. Although it is only an honorary title with no background, no family crest, no fiefdom, and no surname named after me, I am definitely a count. That’s why there are quite a few things that follow my lead. If you have any trouble, please use my name at any time. They will be willing to be your backs.”
The guy’s eyes widened at the count’s words.
It wasn’t a white sound.
He was like a hero, at least to the commoners.
“···Thank you.”
“What.”
The man and woman left the mansion.
The Count looked at the back for a while, then sipped his wine again. This guy’s alcohol always tasted really bitter.
Yeah, like a damn life.
“`
Andalote said with a shy smile.
“I don’t know everything in the world.”
I know.
That’s what she said every time before.
These were also the words she just answered to Seojun’s question, “Is there any way to find Ian?”
Even though she knew the color of her own panties, the fact that there was something she didn’t know – she couldn’t feel this bad right now.
She had to hurry and find Ian.
The moment that guy dies, Seojun’s life as a student is over.
Seojun doesn’t know whether the episode ends immediately after Ian’s death or not. Because it has never been like that before.
However, without him, there is no way to kill the evil spirit. So there was no reason to drag this episode any further.
“It will definitely be safe. Seojun, I don’t know about you, but tunnel rats are- uh…”
“I know.”
When Seojun nodded his head, Andal Lotte pursed her lips and his face blushed.
Is he planning on providing sex education? That’s a bit appealing.
“···Great, I will actually take care of that child like my own body, no, more than my own body.”
Seojun nodded his head.
They weren’t the problem. At best, all you have to do is climb on top of him and pound him into pieces.
The problem is that the cockroach is alive.
I didn’t think that bastard would escape alive.
He must have had quite a desire for revenge on Seojun. Will he really leave Ian and the others alone?
Thinking about the women made me feel a bit of bitter, but at least Ian should be saved.
“What about the rest of the party? Are you going to take me with you?”
She asks again.
Now they were on their way to the Holy Church.
There were the blind nun Vivian, the inquisitor Claire, and Margery and her baby.
It was really fortunate that they weren’t caught by the cockroaches.
The women probably didn’t die because they were attractive, but the babies would have died out of a hundred.
It would be nice if I could become part of Shane’s body.
“No. “I will leave it behind.”
So I had to leave it behind.
The journey to find Ian will be full of danger.
The baby was a burden.
Not only will she cry all the time, but she will also have to constantly change her urine-stained diaper.
Since there were not many people he could trust, he planned to leave the child with the three women and go on his own with Andalote.
“There is no time to waste. “We have to find them right now.”
You really care about your colleagues – Andalote couldn’t help but think that way.
Gwaik-
Seojun opened the door of her church and entered.
“Brother, sister. What brought you here?”
When a simple-looking nun approached him and asked, Seojun answered that she had come to meet a blind nun.
The nun bowed her head and went inside and called the women.
“Bow! Abuuaa!”
Vivian had a child in her arms, and as soon as she saw Seojun, she hugged herself and cried loudly.
Seojun explained to the three women while holding the child with cold eyes.
“Please come back. She will take good care of the child.”
Vivian glanced at the unknown woman next to Seojun and answered like that.
Claire nodded her head, and Marjorie patted her chest, saying she would protect them.
CO-
Seojun handed the child, who quickly fell asleep from crying, into Vivian’s arms.
The two quickly set out on that road.
To meet Captain Tormund, to the commercial city of Pendington.
