Chapter 56 – Options (1)
=====================
After notifying the High Elf nobles of the Dark Elf raid, Vilen Santander tried to ask if the decision had been made by the High Priestess with the help of the Yetzira Council.
There is already enough evidence.
The Dark Elves were in a dying state. Even with them alone, the head priest will not be able to avoid the political offensive.
The force holding all the power in the Liberia elves was the Yetzirah Council. Even if the high priest mobilizes the 12 commanders to attack the parliament, if all nobles in the parliament unite, the priest will have no choice but to raise the white flag.
“Can I leave it to watch over the Dark Elves? I will pay for it, of course.”
“Okay, it’s not particularly difficult. Because I owe them too.”
At Leticia’s request, Allen nodded.
It’s not difficult.
Besides, I just needed money.
The more money, the better.
It was one of Yushin’s speech habits. Allen, who has always enjoyed a wealthy life in the kingdom of Valois, did not understand that, but after he came to the country of elves, he gradually learned the importance of money. Money. Money is everyone’s friend.
“Can I ask you something?”
“What.”
Leticia cautiously opened her mouth.
“Allen. She’s never heard of the name. But until now, I wasn’t sure.”
Allen.
Allen Roxfield.
A female knight called the mad dog of Roxfield.
It is a monster that is said to have overpowered the Ardena Warriors in Urhel. Her elves, who had witnessed her Allen rampage in her Urhel, spoke of her in unison, calling her ‘her monster’.
“Yongke noticed it too. It would be stupid not to notice.”
“Because there are few strong people who can defeat the Shadow Clan without a single wound.”
Allen is a very common name.
However, among the female knights named Allen, few could boast of overwhelming strength against the Shadow Clan.
Roxfield’s mad dog.
Kingdom Seven Swords 2 seats.
She was one of the most powerful female knights among the guardian knights of the kingdom of Valois. She seemed to have a glimpse of her true identity even to her father. So she had tipped off to her daughter Leticia before leaving for the royal castle of Maherit.
“She’d better not speak out.”
“Yes, I won’t tell anyone.”
“That’s it.”
Seeing Leticia’s brightly shining interior, Allen nodded her head.
The Santander family, evaluated by Allen, was a “Rich landlord.” It was because she found out that Yushin’s subordinates hired by the Santander family were well-received and even paid a lot of money.
Want money
To make money, you have to be friends with rich people.
So instead of heading straight to Valencia Castle, Allen stayed with the Santander family. She was in order to earn money and to protect Yushin’s men who were still recuperating.
“Then I will go. Please do the rest.”
“Uh.”
Leticia left her Dark Elves watch over her Allen and then headed to her own room.
She ordered her maids not to let anyone into her room. Leticia entered her room and locked her door, preventing her from coming in from the outside.
‘The Demon King Slayer of the Holy Empire.’
Leticia was always listening to her father about her affairs at the Yetzirah Council.
The priest is looking for the ‘Demon King Slayer of the Holy Empire’.
Why did the shadow clan attack Santander Castle? The fact that the Dark Elves under the direct control of the priest had moved must mean that Gilead, the God of Restoration, is the slayer of the demon king of the Holy Empire. It may be a quick decision. But there were plenty of possibilities.
“Is this the memory vessel used by the Shadow Clan… ?”
Leticia threw herself onto the bed.
Lying on a soft bed decorated with soft silk frills, Leticia took out the small marbles she had retrieved from the Dark Elves.
The Dark Elves are called the Shadow Clan, but they are also called ‘those who steal memories’. Steals memories from others. And treat those memories like objects. When Leticia saw the marble that rolled from the Dark Elf’s hand, she realized that it was a memory stolen from Yushin’s subordinates.
“Dark elves say they can easily extract and read the memories contained in these marbles…. What method can I use to extract the memories contained in the marble?”
Muttered Leticia, playing with her little marbles with her fingers.
Memory vessel.
Inside, there is information related to the Demon Lord Slayer of the Holy Empire.
The girl from the Santander family has a very strong personality. He once spent an entire day in the library interpreting old books, and he also liked to chat with scholars with whom his father was acquainted. Getting closer to the truth and learning of her world was Leticia’s greatest interest.
“If you infuse mana into this orb….”
Leticia let her mana flow as she squeezed her little orb.
But there was no change.
Apparently, mana was not the key.
If only I could open the memory vessel….
You might be able to vividly see the great scene of the tyrannical demon lord, Agares, being punished under the blade of the demon lord slayer. A strong fever of inquiry surged up. Leticia vowed to herself that somehow, by opening this memory vessel, she would see the scene of Agareth meeting her end and the scene of the birth of the Demon King Slayer.

It was when Vilen, the head of Santander, came to the royal castle of Maherit that Yushin learned the whole story.
She met at an odd timing.
At that time, Yushin was on his way out of the conference hall, refusing the priest’s heartbreaking request.
Vilen reported the attack on Santander Castle. Your men were caught in an ambush. He was attacked by the Shadow Clan and the Dark Elves, who are direct subordinates of the priest, and he was lying in a hospital bed.
“… Are you all right?”
“There is no trauma. However, due to the influence of the Dark Elves’ magic, he is now lying in a sick bed.”
“Yes, I understand.”
Unexpectedly, Yushin was calm.
When he heard that his men had been ambushed, he showed no outright anger.
However, if Allen had seen the current Restoration, he would have reacted restlessly. The brilliance in Yushin’s eyes slowly disappeared. It was one of his reactions when he was genuinely enraged.
“I just turned down the offer and walked out. If Lord Santander’s words are true, I’ll have to see the priest again right now.”
Yushin said that and turned around.
Villen, feeling inexplicable uneasiness at the sight, put a hand on his shoulder.
“Quit!”
However, Billen couldn’t put his hand on Yushin’s shoulder and had to withdraw it urgently.
Sparks hit my fingertips.
Static… Was not Static electricity never hurts like this.
The current Yushin was a state in which mighty thunderbolts were concentrated. Thunderbolts were all over her body. The moment he swings his fist, the bolts of lightning that have been buried all over his body will strike his surroundings mercilessly.
“It hasn’t been clarified yet that it was the priest’s actions. So don’t be rash.”
Vilen tried to hold the priest responsible for the Dark Elves who attacked Santander Castle.
Like Kadaz, he also hated the priest, Ileina. He was dissatisfied with the actions of the High Priestess, who had been in charge of the country’s state affairs until now, trying to push them out and seize power.
However, he didn’t want disaster to fall upon Maherit’s kingdom. Villen was convinced that Yushin was the demon slayer of the Holy Empire. This time he came to know through the raid of the Dark Elves. The Demon King Slayer had the power to bring disaster to Mahiret’s castle.
“… I know.”
After calming his breathing for a while and calming down his anger, Yushin thanked Vilen.
“Lord Santander, thank you for taking care of my stupid men.”
Having said that, Yushin turned away from Vilen after calming the lightning that flowed through his body.

Currently, Ilayna was in a state of minor heartache.
She was unsuccessful in persuasion. He did not want to imagine how much he would be ripped off if the nobles of the Yetzirah Council found out that the Demon King Slayer had failed.
Stuck in the room and won’t come out?
If you are in danger, run away and not face it, that was Ileina’s creed.
“I will try to convince you later.”
Ardena lowered her head and said at the reaction of Ileina, who was drinking the cooled black tea in her anxious heart.
Then Ilaina asked.
“So what’s your relationship with the Demon King Slayer, Ardena Warrior Chief? It seemed to me that they weren’t normal to each other. Surely what is there?”
“There is not! How could a high elf and a human….”
Ilaina answered Ardena’s words.
“Wouldn’t the story be different if that human was a demon lord slayer? Lets think. The opponent is the demon lord slayer who subdued the tyrannical demon lord, Agares. She already promised the demon king slayer the name of a high priest and gave him the same treatment as a high elf. From the standpoint of our elven country, which is attacked by the Demon King’s army, he is a talent that must be acquired.”
Demon King Slayer.
Hearing those words from Ileina, Ardena felt her heart pounding.
The Demon King Slayer is an object of respect and reverence for all knights, regardless of race or country.
If Gilead, the God of Restoration, is truly a demon king slayer, if he is the hero who brought peace to the Holy Empire for a moment while subduing the tyrannical demon king….
‘No, it’s too early to jump to conclusions. It hasn’t been fully revealed yet.’
Ardena averted her gaze, calming her flushed cheeks.
Her heart pounded at the fact that there was a Demon King slayer nearby.
To think that she competed swords with the person who subdued the demon king…. It can’t be infinite glory. Only then did Ardena realize that Yushin was the demon slayer. She tried hard to calm her excitement, but she couldn’t calm down. For those who practice kendo, the demon lord slayer was a symbol of longing.
“Anyway, it has nothing to do with me.”
“Okay? The Ardena warrior chief, who had never had a single slave until now, said that he bought a handsome human male at a slave auction, so I thought he was trying to do something like that.”
There were not a few elves who purchased handsome slaves as male prostitutes in order to satisfy their unique sexuality and lust.
Ardena Valencia.
4 commanders. A 320-year-old old maid.
She bought her handsome slave. Upon hearing this from her maid, Ileina muttered, “She intends to graduate her virginity label as a slave, she is an Ardena warrior commander.”
“Chief priest.”
The female warrior who stood guard approached.
She lowered her head and spoke to Il Reina.
She was the story of a human who had just left asking to come back and meet her.
After hearing that, Ileina decided to meet Yushin right away. Did she accept my offer? Her heart pounded. With a very excited expression on her face, she called Yushin, who had requested an audience with her.
“So, have you thought about the proposal?”
Ilayna asked.
Yushin opened her mouth to that question.
“There is something I want to ask you.”
“Yeah, fine. What. Just talk I am very generous now.”
Yushin nodded her head.
After taking a few deep breaths, she
She told her story she had heard from Vilen Santander to confirm her facts.
“My men staying at Santander Castle were attacked by someone. This is a story I heard directly from Lord Santander, who came to the royal castle.”
“Attack? Who dares take the Santander family….”
To Yushin’s words, Ileina responded that she was hard to believe.
It was the same with Ardena.
At the news that Santander Castle had been attacked, Ardena had a rather surprised expression on her face.
High elves are supreme beings. No one can touch him, and no one can surpass him. Of course, there are special cases. That case was Yushin Gilead. You had to be at the level of a demon lord slayer to receive the same respect as a high elf.
“They are called Dark Elves.”
“What, what… ? Why are they!!”
Ilayna dropped the teaspoon she was holding. She exclaimed loudly as she put on a look of astonishment.
Dark Elf.
The shadow clan attacked Yushin’s men staying at Santander Castle.
Upon hearing the news, Ilayna thought they couldn’t have committed such atrocities, but she became suspicious of the dark elves, who began to act self-righteously, as she dismissed herself as the head of her young god.
“I want to ask you a question. Is this the order of the priest?”
Yushin asked.
Even before the question was finished, Yushin’s body began to change.
The stigma grew.
The stigma that had been staying on his shoulder gradually extended to Yushin’s neck. The ominously reddish stigma flowed, expressing anger and fury burning like an active volcano.
