Chapter 45 – An Encounter That Shouldn’t Have (7)
“This is what I saw on the map…… !”
Leviham eagerly crosses the forest.
The elf leisurely walked along with Leviham behind him.
Looking at Leviham walking through the forest sweating profusely, I feel pathetic.
‘A fool.’
Leviham’s plan was simple.
The main point of the plan was to quickly cross the nearby forest to reach the cathedral after escaping the mansion without Theorard’s knowledge.
Leviham’s theory was that even the most powerful family could not use their power because once they entered the cathedral, the area of inviolability was applied.
Even in the eyes of the elf, there seemed to be no major problem with the plan itself.
The problem was that the elf that Leviham had declared to protect did not need the church’s help at all.
– Bishop, we must run now!
When the elf left the mansion, he deliberately made a fuss with a loud voice. Get caught by the servants of the mansion so that Theorad will know this.
So he wanted to bully Theo Rad.
‘Because you know very well that the moment I’m taken to the cathedral, things get bigger.’
Unless you’re an idiot, he’ll come to save you.
However, it seemed that Theo Rad would be genuinely angry if he tried to secure his freedom by entrusting himself to the Order.
I know Theo Rad is n’t the type to pass the blame on to others, but he can’t help but feel strangely offended by his wishful thinking his.
‘…… It’s time to come.’
I was tired of watching Leviham wandering through the woods and fooling around.
I glanced behind him, wondering when Theo Rad would come, but he was nowhere to be seen. He doesn’t hear anything, so it looks like he hasn’t found this side yet.
The sun is slowly setting Leviham’s shoulders trembled as the elf muttered curtly. He misunderstood what he said to himself.
“Isn’t this the one…… ?”
It’s a rather lax response compared to what he said a while ago, “I’ll protect you.”
It’s not that I don’t understand. It’s not easy to maintain a sense of direction in a forest lined with similar trees.
In addition, Leviham was a person who held worship and mass in a church, not a hunter running through the forest and grasping the ecology.
Even an experienced hunter would easily get lost if it was not in a familiar forest after a long walk, but at most, Levi, who had grasped the surrounding geography of the mansion through a map, was unlikely to be able to find the right path .
If we go on like this, we might have to spend the whole evening with this short-haired guy. The elf, who had frowned at her annoyance her, pricked his ears at the noise coming from not far away.
‘This…….’
The sound of horses hooves hitting the ground is heard in succession.
The sound grew louder and louder, so loud that even Leviham could hear it.
“Does not make sense…. You mean you’ve already been chasing this side?”
Already? Does this guy have no conscience?
It’s really arrogant to shout for a long time in the forest.
“Come on, get ready, get ready!”
Embarrassed Leviham made a fuss at her, but the elf had no intention of doing so.
The elf glanced at Leviham and spat out the words bluntly.
“No.”
After that, I stayed still, and not long after, two horses broke through the bush and jumped.
The riders on the horses were Bainen and Theorad.
Hee-hee-!
Theorard, who hurriedly pulled the reins, shouted through heavy breathing.
“Bishop! Elves are my slaves! Even a bishop cannot take my slave!”
Thanks to that, the elf smiled with satisfaction.
‘Cute.’
However, in the current situation, the only thing that was satisfactory was, without a doubt, only the elves.
Theorard jumped out of the saddle with mixed feelings and approached Leviham. Then Bainen dismounts and follows Theorard.
“Bishop. It seems to me that the bishop has misunderstood something. Can you tell me why you took my slave and fled into the woods?”
It was a very humane question, but to Leviham, who thought of Theorard as a pawn of the witches, it only seemed polite to wear a mask.
“What a misunderstanding……. Viscount Theorard! How long are you going to lie to me! Do you think you’ll be able to hide your enmity toward the Church to the end!”
“Yes? What do you mean…….”
“I saw everything! The fact that you received the crystal ball of the Dokwol Guildmaster! Are you going to keep making excuses like this!”
No, how the hell did you know that the crystal ball belonged to the head of the Dokwol union…… ?
Theorad looked back at Bainun, but Bainun only shrugged her shoulders, as if he didn’t understand.
I don’t know the full story of the incident, but it seemed like it was caught. Otherwise, I wouldn’t be able to say that with such certainty.
However, it is an obvious misunderstanding to have ill will towards the church! Theorard spoke earnestly with sincerity.
“It is true that I made a deal with the head of the Dokwol union. However, I didn’t approach it with impure intentions, as you think. Please trust me.”
“Do you believe me? Then tell me what kind of deal you made with the head of the Dogwol union!”
“Ah. That…”
Theorard hesitated.
Of course, the moment I said ‘I bought pills that produce breast milk and all kinds of adult products!’, It was tantamount to declaring social suicide.
Because of this, Leviham, who had no way of knowing the details, accepted Theorad’s hesitation as an expression of a lie.
“Also. From the beginning, you approached the church deliberately and showed patronage. It must have been to clear the doubts about the fact that he was plotting a scheming by accumulating favor with the church.”
“Bishop. It’s not like that…….”
“Stop making excuses. I am well aware that this elf was also being used in your schemes. So I will do everything in my power to stop you.”
The tangled thread becomes more and more tangled. Realizing that words could not convince him, Theorard had no choice but to order Beenon.
“Bind the bishop.”
Bainen’s eyes widened.
“Yes? Young master? Are you serious?”
“Okay. We can’t let you go to church like this.”
It was best to take them to the mansion somehow and then explain everything in the absence of the elves.
However, from Bainen’s point of view, he couldn’t follow Theorard’s orders straight away. Because he was unreasonable in any way.
“Young master. If you lay your hand on the bishop, the Inquisition may be held. Can you bear it?”
Is that important now! The bishop looks dead!
“Don’t think about the future. I have more important things to do now.”
“If you say so…….”
Sereung. Vaynon drew her sword from her scabbard. Contrary to the shabby appearance of the scabbard, the well-sharpened sword body spreads terrifying energy.
When Bainen took the sword technique, Levyham’s pupils shook once.
‘Are you saying it came out this far?’
Leviham, started for a moment, soon regained his composure. It was because she was prepared to some extent because the one she had a close relationship with the head of the Guild of Dominion was Theo Rad in front of her.
“If you think I’ll be taken quietly, you’re mistaken.”
The area around Leviham’s body her is dyed in golden color. He intended to use divine magic that only priests who believed in God could use.
Will Bainen be able to defeat the clergy who use divine magic? Unable to decide whether to win or lose, Theorard drool and opened his mouth.
“I can’t tell you more about the current situation, but please trust me and return to the mansion. I do not want to put you to death.”
“Under. Are you saying that you will kill me the moment I resist?”
The elf, not me, might kill the bishop…… ! The words I wanted to shout reached the roof of my mouth, but I couldn’t bear to say them.
It was because the elf watching from the back of the leviham was very concerned.
However, the elf had no intention of killing Leviham like Theorard thought. It was because I was just using it as a discard pile after playing with it in moderation.
‘Well.’
And now. The elf decided to abandon the Leviham.
‘Because it seems like I’ve scolded Theorad enough.’
When denominations and families are intertwined, it becomes a headache. Moreover, it would be difficult if Theorad was injured while Leviham was overusing holy magic.
I couldn’t even enjoy proper play, but wouldn’t it be better for the toy to physically break down? There was no choice, so the elf walked lightly to Leviham.
Levi Ham, who was unaware of the danger approaching him, was raising his divine power to the fullest toward Theo Rad.
“I will punish you on behalf of God!”
“Bishop. I will give you the opportunity to withdraw my comments. If you don’t listen to me now, you will definitely regret it.”
“Withdrawal? I’m about to surrender to you…….”
Took. Thin fingers touch the back.
At the same time, Levi Ham witnessed the world change before his eyes.
‘…… Uh?’
Darkness. The world was suddenly enveloped in pitch-black darkness.
Theorad and Bainen, the overgrown space, the surrounding trees, and the grazing horses disappeared in the blink of an eye, and darkness took their place as expected.
The invisible world was terrifyingly quiet. Afraid of the suffocating silence, Leviham looked around, but there was nothing discernible.
How the heck did this happen While I was dumbfounded, an eerie voice resounded in my head.
─ Faith cannot keep you. The god of light is just an illusion that doesn’t exist.
Surprised, Leviham backed away. He shook his head violently, wondering if he had heard something in vain, but his voice came through his as clearly as if he were talking to his ears.
─ I will have pity on you and have mercy on you. Leave here if you want to live. And keep silent about everything that happened in the mansion forever.
Leviham quickly ground his teeth. Because I decided that this must be the devil’s whisper.
“Theorad Deharm! You guys are in collusion with the devil and use witchcraft! Even so, I do not give in. Because the goddess is with me in my heart, I won’t fall for your wicked tricks!”
Levi Ham, who focused all his nerves on his grip, exploded with divine sparks. The flames that burn brilliantly in golden light dispel the darkness around them.
“The god of light will not make a weak man his servant his!”
The flame, which had gradually increased in size, became so fierce that it lit up all directions.
Levi Ham, who felt a certain kind of joy in driving out the darkness, inadvertently raised his head, but without realizing it, he stiffened.
“…….”
From the other side of the darkness where the light couldn’t reveal all, dozens of red eyes were staring down at us in a funny way.
Huge and arrogant. The eyes of the pupils seemed to say that something like you could be crushed at any time.
“Ah. Ah….”
Like a man who has faced an irresistible natural disaster, Levi Ham limply fell to his knees.
The divine flame that burned in my grasp disperses as a haze.
The world of Leviham, which shone brightly for a moment, was once again engulfed in darkness.
“Sah, live…….”
Leviham’s terrified eyes trembled in fear.
Theorad Deharm. He realized too late that he was not the kind of person he could handle.
