Chapter 138 – 31. Fake Gold. (6)
It will take time to recover all the fake gold that has already spread across the continent, but since the source has been removed, the Empire is relieved.
However, since there is no law that prevents a fake gold incident like this one from happening next time, the prince planned to publicize this incident widely throughout the continent.
Circulating fake currency is an act of disrespecting the imperial family, and since that is tantamount to a high treason, regardless of the seriousness of the crime, everyone will be punished with the death penalty….
The evidence was the annihilation of the Martolo bandits. From now until he returns to the capital, the prince plans to use all the heads of the thieves and wizards.
Anyway, since the fake gold incident, which the royal family was concerned about, was resolved very neatly, the prince praised the mercenaries for their hard work. In particular, he openly reveals his affection for Allen Danju.
“If it wasn’t for Allen Danju, I wouldn’t have been able to wipe them out so efficiently.”
“Because everyone was together, my foolish plan succeeded.”
What caught the prince’s eye was certainly very encouraging for Allen’s mercenary business. It won’t be a halo for his business right away, but it will definitely help a lot in the future.
In addition, Allen was very excited about the reward for this mission. It was the duty of the imperial family, not anywhere else. It must be that the amount is different from the normal level.
As Allen expected, the prince specifically robbed one of the many silver ingot carts. Allen-The number of silver bars returned to the mercenaries was twenty.
Citpaal… , Long live the imperial family!
It was such an enormous sum that it was truly insulting. If converted into gold coins, it would be about 5,000.
“The amount is far short of expressing the gratitude of the imperial family.”
“How can I convert Your Highness’s benevolence into money!”
Frankly, Allen felt like he could do it even if I asked him to lick his toes with his naked body right away. Of course, there was no way that the educated prince would make such a low-quality request.
Anyway, the work was finished, and the prince’s group returned to the small city of Ampere with the heads of the thieves on the carriage. Of course, the city is inevitably in an uproar. The notorious Martolo-bandits were annihilated in an instant.
Certainly as the prince intended, the advertising effect was great. Perhaps within 15 days, the rumors would spread not only to Vermandois, but also to the Iron Fortress, Carlstadt. That rumor would have the effect of instilling a sense of awe toward the imperial family.
Around that time, the prince’s group split into two. One with the prince, Baron Bornov, and Kalim returning to the capital with silver bars, and the other with Viola and Allen returning to Vermandois.
Even before parting, the prince had a heartfelt farewell with Allen Danju. The prince’s desire to make him his own was conveyed well to Allen as well.
“Next time you come to the capital, be sure to include a message. Let’s have a meal together.”
“I understand, Your Highness. I will definitely do that.”
So the two groups parted ways early in the morning.
This mission was valuable because Allen got both money and personal connections and two rabbits.
· · ·
A huge fire engulfed the whole world.
All of the earth and sky were burning red like an inferno.
Right in the midst of the flames, the prophet Alloa ran naked.
Ah-.
The pain of burning bones and flesh. But for some reason, even in the terrible pain of burning, he was alert to look around.
Amid the towering flames, she saw something in the distance.
What came into her gaze was the white spire that symbolized the holy kingdom, and a gigantic monster clinging to it and spitting fire in all directions—-.
Aaaaa.
It gave me an indescribable horror. More than the pain of burning bones and flesh….
Prophet Alloa woke up suddenly as his whole body melted as it was from the monster’s fire.
“Evil-!”
In her field of vision, instead of lava-like flames, she saw a familiar room.
Everything was a dream…. A very vivid nightmare that even still feels like a burning pain—-.
Alloa couldn’t understand why she had suddenly had this dream. Even that is a monster clinging to the symbol of the holy kingdom.
Whoop whoop.
She got out of bed, washing her face dry with her hands. And she opened the terrace door wide and breathed deeply in the twilight morning air that hadn’t risen yet. If the maids knew, they would have made a fuss about hurting themselves, but it felt so good for her to get up early and breathe in the cool morning air. …… Maybe that’s why she longs for a free mercenary…….
She leaned against the railing and stared at the distant horizon. And there she vividly witnessed the birth of light.
It was a thrill. It is the art of Mother Nature that cannot be expressed or created by any art work of human beings.
As dawn broke, the blessings of the Holy Ghost descended evenly throughout the world. Her face was flushed with a peach color, and she…… , She thought of men.
The man.
Handsome man.
Future husband.
Allen Danju.
Literally, it was almost instant, but the short meeting with him left a deep seal on her heart more intensely than any other. Never erased until death.
…… One more time, I thought you would come…….
When we met again, I tried to explain her circumstances, saying that I was too unconcerned at that time and sent her back, but… , He left and never returned. And after the meeting of the 10th round, he left for Vermandua with Viola-Mercenary Corps.
Every time he thought of it, Alloa the Prophet sighed like a humble wife. If nothing else, for a woman who is proud of one of her prophecies, her future husband can’t help but feel like her current husband….
However, the carriage had already left. Unfortunately, she has no choice but to promise the future.
Returning to the bedroom, Aloa started her normal life. She completely forgot about the nightmares she had all night.
Time passed, and it was already noon.
While I was reading the magic book with enthusiasm, a guest came.
“He came from the Holy Land.”
“…… Seongguk?”
The moment she heard the word Seongguk that popped out without warning, the terrible nightmare she had had all night flashed through her mind.
Could it be that the nightmare had something to do with this visit?
“Let me guide you.”
She closed the spellbook she was reading and gently placed it on the seat next to her, then got off the bed and sat down in front of the table. Now that her body is in good shape, she doesn’t have to greet guests in bed.
Soon the two entered her bedroom. One was a middle-aged man as handsome as the Sword Emperor Magnus, and the other was a young girl with a cold look.
“Nice to meet you. My name is Quintus Selone.”
“This is Monua Ermene.”
“It’s Alloa.”
A short greeting passed. Alloa skipped all the greetings and went straight to the point.
“The reason why the ladies and gentlemen of the Holy Land came to this place… ?”
“Can I sit down for a moment?”
“Oh, yes, please sit down.”
The stately Quintus sat down on her seat, took something of her own from her bosom, and placed her chin on her table. It was a plaque with a pattern on it. However, she had no way of knowing which pattern it belonged to.
“We are the Holy Knights.”
ㅡ!
The opponent is much bigger than you think. If it is the Holy Knights, aren’t they those who assist the Pope and move for the Holy Ghost and the Holy Kingdom?
But Quintus had gone so far as to explain herself to her, and she asked out of nowhere.
“Perhaps…… , Have you seen anything?”
“Yes?”
“Prophecy, I mean.”
At the question without context, the Prophet Alloa looked at him as if he was bewildered.
“Sorry, but my prophecy is not grand. I just see the future of each individual. …… And, what is a prophecy for? It’s too vague.”
Suddenly, the female knight standing next to Quintus breathed in through his nose and his eyes went blank for a moment. Then he looked straight at Alloa and said,
“I can smell the burning…. Fire… , Yes, fire.”
ㅡ!
“Is it someone’s future? … Or a dream?”
At the words of the female knight with dark blue hair, Alloa brought up the story of last night’s nightmare.
“… I did have a dream. It is a dream in which the whole world is turned into a sea of fire. And, on the spire of the Holy Kingdom, something like a monster was hanging. …… Could it have something to do with it?”
The two men and women of Seongguk exchanged glances for a moment.
Quintus looked back at Alloa and continued speaking calmly, in a much lower voice than before.
“…… Promise me that you will never reveal anything you hear from now on.”
Alloa wanted to say no because he had an uneasy feeling, but…… , Eventually surrendered to her damn curiosity.
“I see. Weak. I put my name on it.”
“Good.”
Quintus snorted her lightly and continued her conversation.
“Somewhere in the Holy Land, a terrifying existence is sealed away. He is such an evil being that he should not come out of the world.”
“Then what I saw in my dream, is that it?”
“Perhaps.”
“Oh My God….”
“One of the Holy Knights’ roles is to maintain its seal. …… However, there has been a problem lately.”
Hearing that there was a problem, Alloa’s back shuddered as if she was picking it up with her knife.
“Is there a problem?”
“… I’ll just talk about that for now.”
The middle-aged knight lightly interlaced his hands on the table.
“We don’t need a lot. …… A small clue, that one is all you need. Then we’ll take care of the rest.”
“I’ve said it before, but I can’t see anything big. It’s just an individual’s life, a glimpse into it.”
“Anything is fine. Please do if you can.”
Ha. The Prophet sighed lightly.
“…… Like. Hand, please.”
Even though she wondered if this was right, she couldn’t say no.
When Quintus held out his hands, Alloa took a deep breath and took them cautiously.
ㅡㅡㅡㅡ!!!!
And the scenes that unfold before your eyes.
However, before long, her vision suddenly turned dark, and she was covered in total darkness. And a yellow pupil suddenly flashed in the air.
– Insignificant, created beings–.
“Aagh!”
Alloa was startled and quickly removed her hand from her.
“What did you see?”
“…… Mo, I didn’t see it. I didn’t see it. Something is blocking my view.”
When she said that, Quintus groaned. After all, she had a strong feeling to do.
At that time, Monua, the blue-haired female knight who had been watching from her side, opened her mouth.
“Can I see you too? …… It must be hard, but please give me one more time.”
Alloa’s hands trembled.
It must have been the monster’s eyes. Evil being… , It made her obviously conscious of her.
The Prophet gritted his teeth and gathered courage, and Monua, the female knight, clenched her outstretched hand as if shaking hands.
Then, the scenes come to mind sparsely and discontinuously. …… But it was too short-lived.
The time zone changes, and she meets someone.
Oh.
It is a figure that Aloha knows well.
The man.
Allen Danju.
Future husband.
The two fought many battles together.
And a deep friendship that blooms.
It looked pretty good so far. ……… Until the two men and women share a kiss and rush into an intense affair.
“Hup.”
Alloa was startled and let go of her hand.
Then the woman asked.
“Did you see something?”
……… Certainly, I saw it.
My future husband and my future cheating wife.
