Episode 136
“I’ve heard a lot of rumors. It’s an honor to be with you.”
Agram looked at Dio who was talking to him.
When Dio, who had already exchanged greetings at the Lord’s Castle immediately after the convocation, offered to shake hands again, Agram happily took his hand.
“Will I do as much as you? “The person leading the subjugation of the Demon Lord is a mercenary.”
“The Duke Bertio’s help was great.”
“Well, half of them came here after hearing Bertio’s name.”
Agram, who already knew everything about the East in detail through the guild, nodded.
Agram’s sole purpose was ‘wealth’.
No matter who was in command, Agram had the intention to make his own decisions and move based on practicality.
Because he has the strength and ability to do so.
Perhaps that’s why, for Agram, the war of nerves between the Luna Church and the prince was a good thing.
He was actually more interested in the conversation with Dio.
“Anyway, it’s been a while since I visited Demon Lord. “There are a lot of valuable items, but it’s so dangerous that I usually don’t go there.”
It is known that one can gain a lot of wealth by obtaining the by-products of the demonic beasts or the treasures of the historical sites located there.
Nevertheless, the demonic beasts of the Demon World were stronger on a different level, so the mercenaries did not approach this place carelessly.
It was the same with the mercenary king Agram.
Agram, who was smoking a cigarette, tapped Dio on the shoulder.
“Thanks to you, I will be able to secure my share of the magic world for the first time in a long time. “The share will be smaller as the number increases.”
Agram said with some regret.
However, upon hearing Agram’s words, Dio’s eyes lit up and he spoke quickly.
“You don’t have to worry about that. “There are greater things in the eastern demonic world than Agram could have imagined.”
Dio deliberately raised his voice and spoke exaggeratedly.
They hoped that someone would overhear their story.
“Are there hidden treasures that we don’t know about?”
As expected, voices that did not belong to Dio and Agram were quickly heard.
The owner of the voice was Prian, who had fought with five swords just a moment ago.
‘Making merit doesn’t mean you’re not interested in treasure. Rather, the greater the reward you bring to the empire, the greater your merit.’
Dio laughed inwardly as he looked at Prian who had taken the bait.
To be precise, he was laughing while looking at the five swords that were baited with Prian.
The target that Dio was trying to lure out was the five swords from the beginning.
They, too, became curious as Prian, who had been confronting each other just moments before, turned his attention to Dio.
“Acrich is the one who dreamed of resurrecting the Demon King for a thousand years. “If you think about the magic stones he collected, it would be so huge that it could form a mine.”
“How can you believe that?”
“I am an advance guard and great warrior walking the path of the sun. “I know because I received Solari’s revelation.”
Prian just laughed quietly at Dio’s sincere answer.
Instead, Elaine, who was also listening to the story, suddenly joined in, passing the others.
“You blasphemous one. “You’re making a mistake.”
“A mistake?”
In response to Elaine’s words, Dio asked her back with an expression that showed he knew nothing.
“The sun is incredible. It may be bright on the outside, but it is dark on the inside.”
High elf Elaine looked at Dio with disgust.
“God, who knows the truth, gives it only to the wise. Do you think the false god you believe in knows the truth? “Do you really think you are the wisest among us?”
Elaine’s breathing becomes heavier as she appears to be sensitive about the sun god.
From the Luna Church’s perspective, it is clear that Dio is a heretic, but since there are many eyes watching, there is nothing they can do about it forcefully.
Therefore, Elaine is probably resentful of the fact that she can only preach.
“Why don’t you look at yourself before you criticize me?”
“What are you saying?”
Elaine’s feelings didn’t change even in front of the 3rd prince.
Despite the hostility she showed, Dio paid no heed to her and instead met her eyes directly.
“An elf who believes in Luna. The world tree will cry.”
“dare!”
When the World Tree was mentioned in a human’s mouth, Elaine’s cold anger rang out.
But Dio didn’t care and continued talking.
“Oh or are they both believers and apostates? “There are no special bats.”
“What are you talking about that you know!”
Is it because of the prejudice that elves are gentle?
Elaine’s anger confused everyone around her.
“Haha! “Calm down.”
“haha.”
Galeto barely managed to stop Elaine, who couldn’t control her anger and tried to attack her, and Aldur just looked at Dio calmly.
“Young man is fearless. “I never thought I’d mention the World Tree in front of Elaine.”
“well. Wouldn’t it be better to be fearless than a religious order that meddles in the affairs of the East or a careless elf that meddles in human affairs?”
Dio spoke in a deliberately provocative manner, and Aldur, who seemed to have sensed his intention, simply stepped back without saying a word.
However, even if he does not escalate matters further, Dio has already succeeded in making Elaine angry.
Why is she so angry?
Even though he served the World Tree, there were special circumstances that forced him to be active in the Luna Church.
‘Elain hates humans so much. Especially the heretics designated by Luna.’
The Luna Church said that the reason the World Tree burned down was the work of corrupt humans, and promised to the elves that they would punish all heretics to take responsibility for this.
And Elaine believed this.
The elves were already wary of humans’ greed.
So, Elaine decided to join the humans of the Luna Church.
It was only natural that she would take the lead in judging heresy with her five swords.
‘Sending Elaine, who wouldn’t be happy to cooperate with humans… no Kaleina. Luna seems to be in a hurry too.’
Elaine can be easily provoked by simply mentioning the seizure keyword ‘World Tree’.
If he could easily provoke her like that, the other five swords would also have a hard time managing her.
Dio aimed for this.
However, as if the Luna Church was anticipating this, the assigned colleagues were people who could get along well with Elaine.
‘Scarlett and the others didn’t have a good relationship with Elain… In any case, internal division won’t be easy because of Aldur.’
Galletto, who has the image of a fighting maniac, also seems to have a mission of his own in this matter.
If I hadn’t done that, I wouldn’t have stopped Elaine from starting a fight right away.
“The atmosphere has become a mess because of someone without notice. “How much did we talk about?”
Dio turned off his attention with the Luna Church and turned his attention back to Agram and the 3rd prince. Ates, who had been with him before, opened his mouth as Dio muttered to himself.
“Even the treasure that Acrich would have.”
“It did. “But what do you do?”
“I’m recording it.”
Ates smiled at Dio and showed him the high-quality parchment on which he had been writing.
“I guess the secretaries of the merchant guild will take care of this?”
“There may be things they haven’t seen or heard. like now.”
Ates grinned at the words of Agram, who was listening next to him.
Ates was at the forefront, not as a member of Dio’s party, but as a member of the Duke Bertio’s family.
There are many reasons why Dalimus is currently missing this expedition.
Bertio’s reputation has been damaged due to his responsibility to Lennon.
Dalimus needed to remain in the family to correct the faltering family.
Dalimus chose to send Ates on his behalf.
If Dalimus had participated in this subjugation, he would also be qualified as commander-in-chief like the 3rd prince and the five swords.
However, Artes, the representative of Vertio, was not even mentioned because he was lacking in many ways compared to Dalimus.
However, Artes’ background as Bertio cannot be ignored even though it was flawed by Lennon.
“I heard that Bertio’s next head of the family has been confirmed as his second son?”
“Don’t we have to look good for this subjugation?”
“Well, the eldest son is completely finished.”
“And since this expedition also started from Bertio…”
As can be seen from the people talking and pointing at Ates, the influence of Bertio’s signboard was leading this event.
Moreover, Lennon completely fell because of this incident, and Artes officially became the next head of the family.
It is not unusual for Bertio’s representative to be among the front line members, including the 3rd Prince and the Five Swords.
‘Is this the responsibility of the head of the household? Well, since Lennon is finished, it would be natural for Artes to take over the family.’
Dio realized Dalimus’ intention to send Ates into the battlefield with him.
Before informing Ates, who is confirmed to be the next head of the family, about the family’s legend about the sun god, he is sent to a harsh battlefield.
This may have been the final test that Dalimus gave to Ates.
Dalimus’ test to prove his worth in this expedition.
Ates had to do his best during this expedition to revive the honor of the family that would become his after becoming the next head of the family.
And Artes seemed to know this well.
“Even though I’m not as strong as the captain, I’m confident in recording. “I’ve done it before.”
The reason Artes raised his hand to the quill now was simple.
At the time when he ran away from home, Ates recorded his life like a minstrel.
And this habit of his has continued to this day.
What is happening in the East in the future and what outcome will be reached…
Ates, the next head of the family of Bertio, needs to clearly know this.
“So…”
Artes stopped moving his pen and raised his head.
“What do you plan to do now? “You’re not going to stand like this all day, are you?”
Ates’ question was not about what treasures were hidden in the Demonic Sutra.
Question about the Allied forces’ schedule.
This is something that the representatives of the Allied Forces must decide.
For that reason, the Third Prince and the Luna Church were fighting.
Even though he clearly saw this, Artes did not ask them.
In his mind, the only commander in chief of the Allied Forces was Dio.
“Hmm hmm.”
In response to Ates’ question, Dio cleared his throat slightly and glanced at his surroundings.
These are words spoken by none other than Bertio’s next matriarch.
Because he had enough power to speak, he could feel the gaze of five swords, including the 3rd Prince.
Of course, one of them was glaring at Dio as if he were going to kill him.
‘Good job. ‘Athes.’
It wasn’t particularly planned.
Ates was just relying on Dio.
Anyway, Dio waited for the current situation to happen.
That’s why I brought their interest through conversation with the mercenary king.
If the battle between the two forces in the leading ranks here is not decided, it will be very troublesome.
So Dio took the initiative.
It is about the commanding authority that can be called commander-in-chief.
This is what Dio qualified for when asked by Ates, who is the next head of the family of Bertio.
Accordingly, the 3rd prince and the five swords also waited for Dio to speak.
“Why are you asking me that?”
“yes? “Then who do you ask?”
“Who is it?”
Dio laughed inwardly at Ates’ expression of “I really don’t know,” and naturally ignored his question.
This is to the 3rd prince, Prian.
“Shouldn’t we ask the prince who will lead us?”
