The Regressor and the Blind Saint

Chapter 66

Startle-.

Vera’s body trembled.

‘Why is this… .’

Why is this dagger vomit? Accidents happen quickly. Remind yourself of the things that changed the moment something happened.

Vera’s gaze turned to the king approaching step by step.

The dagger’s cry was a change that occurred as he appeared among the troops.

In the midst of embarrassment, Vera looked at the king, sharpening his thoughts.

I didn’t make a good illusion that it was a coincidence.

There must be a reason for that, as it was nothing else but a reaction from the demon king’s traces.

The king approached Vera and Doban next to him, who raised the tension so that he could face such a thought at any time.

“Nice to meet you, Hwang-son. It’s my first time seeing you here.”

First, a greeting to Doban.

“and… . I hope you will buy it. Say hello to me. Todra Hao, king of the three countries of the Union.”

King, Todd laughed. Vera faced that smile and started counting in his head.

‘You must not show hostility prematurely.’

No information. It can be assumed that there is a connection point with the Demon King, but how is it connected and with what purpose he came here directly? The way he acted in his previous life is in a veiled state.

‘I don’t see any hostility right now.’

I don’t know if there was any hostility, or if he was hiding it.

Vera judged.

‘… Let’s take a look first.’

Observe the situation rather than take hasty action right away.

“… Nice to meet you.”

“I am always grateful for the grace of my Holy Father. May God’s grace be with you.”

Todd drew his last name.

Vera didn’t let the tension build up to the top of his head, closely observing Todd’s every move, and scribbling his name along.

It was at that moment that Dovan opened his mouth.

“… come back I have no intention of joining your strife.”

It was a hostile word.

Todd, who was greeting Vera, turned his gaze to Doban. A deeper smile formed on his lips.

“You already know the meaning of the emperor. I’m here today to apologize for my past rudeness.”

Startle-. Doban’s fingertips trembled. His eyes were full of hostility, staring at Todd.

I don’t know what the intention is. it was drawn to it.

Todd met Doban’s eyes and bowed his head.

“There is something I didn’t realize. When we cry out for legitimacy, we know that there is no glory of the three countries. It is said that only the imperial grandson are versed.”

Because it was such a huge giant, Todd’s head was higher than Doban, even with his head bowed.

A composition that looks down on Doban when viewed from afar.

In that composition, Todd continued.

“In the end, even if the imperial descendants achieve unification, wouldn’t that be complete unification? All the kings and ministers of other kingdoms who have not yet given up on their regrets will resist. The legitimacy they cry for will be meaningless in that moment. There will be another war They will deny even the legitimacy of the imperial grandson.”

The corners of Todd’s lips went up and a deep smile was drawn.

“Honey, isn’t that a disgrace to the emperor? Wouldn’t that make me forget my respect for my former imperial family? Curse the stupid who only realized this now. In this case for making a belated apology, please do not forgive those who do not have it.”

Todd continued his speech with an unsure whether he was lowering his head, or whether he was looking down at Doban.

“I want to achieve true unity that will not disgrace my imperial grandchildren. So I’m here to tell you that I’ll never look for the imperial grandchild again. I thought I had to do it myself, so I did it.”

Todd raised his head.

Todd, who was in a straight posture, finished his speech softly with the same smile on his face.

“The business ends with this. Just let me go back.”

Todd turned around.

At that moment, Vera felt Todd’s gaze pierce through him.

Todd turned completely away and walked away. Todd passed through the divided armies, and then the armies lined up again and followed after them.

“… what.”

Doban’s words. Doban, who managed to mumble a murmur of embarrassment and doubt, wrinkled his expression for a while, then shook his head to shake his thoughts.

“No, I don’t know. Whatever they do, it doesn’t matter to me anymore.”

He went to say something he didn’t know, but his intention was that he wouldn’t look for himself any more.

It wouldn’t be a lie to say that he said it with his own mouth.

After making his decision, Dovan continued to say to Vera.

“Don’t let me go in. The saint will be waiting for you.”

“… Yes.”

A bit late reply.

Vera’s gaze was still on the spot where Todd had disappeared.

the same evening.

Vera, who finished the birthday celebration with a disgruntled heart, draped his robe down to the top of his head, put on a mask, and went out to the smithy.

It was to pursue Todd.

I guess it won

The way the dagger reacted, the way he came and left after only saying that one word, the gaze that seemed to pierce through him.

All of this was raising doubts in Vera.

‘He would not have returned immediately.’

This is the middle of the mountain range.

In other words, it takes several days to reach the western inland where the three countries are located.

I will probably go down this mountain range and rest a day in a nearby village. If not, you put up a campsite.

I had to sneak in and find out something.

Vera ran through the darkness.

Each body was engraved with divine magic.

[Night Walk] that erases the sound of footsteps.

[Twilight] that kills the presence.

[Mirage] that blurs the perception.

Vera’s body melted into the darkness as he had not used it much, so he just memorized it and put all the sacred arts that he had not used on his body.

Not even a small sound was left.

There was no form left.

One person became a shadow running through the darkness and moved for a long time.

As he ran and ran for a long time, Vera was running toward the village at the foot of the mountain, and he was able to catch hundreds of sights gathered in a place just a little off the beaten path.

The armies of the three countries who saw the expected height just before.

Vera quickly turned and headed towards the gathering of the presence.

A large open space in the middle of the forest.

From https://readwn.com

One large barracks and small barracks filling the surrounding area. And the fence around the outside.

Vera frowned as he crossed the barrier.

‘The boundaries are strict.’

The border was so strict that it could not be dismissed as a mere procession of the king, and that it could only feel suspicious no matter how much you looked at it.

It was not a simple feeling.

Isn’t it too inefficient to put a barrier around the barracks where you stay for only a day, or at most a few days?

add it

Whoa-!

The dagger’s cry was getting stronger than during the day.

There was definitely something.

Maybe there was a clue here.

The beginning of the cause of Aisha wielding a magic sword, where Doban’s resentment is completed, will be here.

It was an infinitely close guess, but Vera, unable to ignore it, headed towards the barracks with the dagger pointed at him, holding the dagger he had been given as a gift.

I wasn’t worried about getting caught.

The divine arts were still melting Vera into darkness.

passed the barracks outside.

The central barracks arrived after avoiding all the soldiers who were resting with bonfires in various places, and the soldiers coming and going from the inside.

Vera’s weeping turned into a scream as he got closer to the barracks, so he reached into his arms, clutched the dagger, and poured the divine.

profit-.

A kind of over-the-counter prescription.

To stop the cries of the dagger, pouring in the divine opposite of the demon king’s red light.

Vera noticed the dagger that was starting to calm down a little, and then stuck to the wall of the barracks and focused on what was coming from inside.

– Ready?

– It is proceeding smoothly.

– Good. very good.

What I could hear was the voice of Todd full of laughter and the voice of a soldier who was filled with fear for some reason.

– That’s stupid. you can’t be stupid It’s all good, aren’t you idiots?

giggled laughing voice.

Vera’s eyebrows narrowed at the voice.

‘different.’

It was a voice that seemed to scratch something, different from the formal voice I heard during the day.

– What is Hwangson all about? What is authenticity? It’s not that everyone has already experienced that there is something more important than that, and they turn away from it in fear.

The voice, which had something that could be called joy, continued to spit out those words.

– It’s just overwhelming power. that’s what it should be repulsion? discussion? So what do you do? If I click on it, it means nothing. No.

The voice is immersed in emotion. His voice began to shake to the extent that it was clear that his reason was gradually becoming cloudy.

– You showed me. King Ho has proven it.

Startle-.

Vera’s body shook. eyes got big

What the words you hear now mean, and the reason you realized them.

-Haman’s force would be able to cut them all down, and they are trying to ignore it.

– You are very right… .

– So you have to get rid of it. you have to clean it all up

gurgling. Todd’s voice softened.

-Those stupid and cowardly assholes, and even the Hwangson who might become a stumbling block. His apostle too.

shake.

it flowed out

– You have to put them all away.

Awkward-.

Vera’s fists clenched.

The dagger in his hand shone sharply.

‘It must be killed.’

Todd is aiming for Doban.

They are targeting the kings of the other four countries.

Something is writing numbers.

I should kill you right now, but… .

‘… energy.’

The energy emanating from within was stopping Vera’s steps.

Vera could definitely feel what this energy was.

‘The power of the Demon King.’

The vicious energy he felt when he faced Gilly was flowing from within.

A phenomenon that occurred as Todd’s voice was engulfed in emotion.

Suddenly, doubts arose in Vera.

‘why… .’

Why didn’t I know this until I got so close? It’s such a blatant and violent energy, but it makes sense that I didn’t feel it.

As he continued his thoughts, Vera swept the barracks with his hand, belatedly as a thought flashed through his mind.

What you can feel with your fingertips is the energy of mana.

‘… Barrier.’

The barracks are barricaded.

Vera held his breath, blurring his presence further, as he recalled his resolve.

‘You have to look inside.’

We need to find out what they are doing so secretly, and reveal their identity.

Vera added a divine skill to the body melted in darkness.

just seven steps.

[Skywalk], a divine art that allows you to step on the air and climb.

uh-.

At Vera’s feet a very feeble divinity rose and fell.

Vera stepped onto the barracks and, very carefully, began walking up the wall.

A shadow walked over the darkness.

Through the walls of the barracks, to the ceiling, from the ceiling to the top in the middle.

Vera went to the top of the barracks and with the dagger he was holding, he ripped a little of the fabric there, and brought his eyes through the opening.

It was a very small gap. There is a gap where you have to twist your body to see only part of the inside.

All of Vera’s nerves turned to the exposed interior.

As initially thought, the barracks bordering the barracks was a long barricade.

and inside.

‘… incantation.’

The shaman circle was drawn in a long and complex shape.

Vera narrowed his eyes and looked at the bar.

Because it was an unfamiliar magic circle even to Vera, who had read many magic and magic circles to reinforce the sanctuary.

From https://readwn.com

One straight circle.

And four lines dividing the circle into exactly eight equal parts.

Unfamiliar sentences that make up each line. And among them was a giant.
