Episode 156 Holy Grail Knight in Wonderland (1)

I don’t know what Carlsen intended, but Isaac had no intention of believing in the Angel of the Code of Light anyway. No, there is no one he completely trusts in the first place.

Because I know very well what I have inside my body.

‘May’s sword also has a purpose, so it’s to keep me alive.’

Anyway, it doesn’t seem like the sword of May has any intention of killing him right now, so there’s no reason why they can’t continue their symbiotic relationship. However, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to gain as much favor as possible.

Isaac approached Julich with a friendly expression and asked.

“Actually, I was supposed to receive a mission from the Sword of May, but no clear instructions have been given yet. “I’m worried that you might not be able to find me.”

“You can’t find it? “Do you think I’m a fool?”

“Didn’t you say it wasn’t the Sword of May?”

“no.”

If you say no, you should know that it is not true. What can you do?

Isaac understood the feelings of Bishop Juan, who complained that he was ‘scared of meeting an angel.’ If an angel pushes you so mercilessly, there is nothing you can do as a mere mortal… … .

“… … “Then, can you even guess what mission the Sword of May will give me?”

“I guess there won’t be any orders to give right now.”

“Why is that so?”

“Isn’t it because you are too insignificant to be useful right now? “You will find out sooner or later anyway, so just wait patiently.”

It doesn’t seem like he has any intention of hiding it either.

The place where the May Sword is mainly active is the battlefield. The main task of the May Sword summoned to the battlefield is to slaughter other angels and soldiers. There is no need for acting skills, intrigue, or disguise.

Isaac was worried that the Sword of May might act like this in other places as well.

‘I am not the sword of May. But you insolent Elil and angels can’t stand it. ‘I need to cut off his head right away with the power of an angel.’

It is quite possible.

Moreover, Isaac is now planning to visit the Aldeon royal family. I didn’t want to think about the situation where the Sword of May made a mistake.

I couldn’t even guess which future would be more terrible: the Sword of May wreaking havoc in the royal family of the Elil Kingdom or her being accused of being a public enemy of the Elil Kingdom.

If that happens, the only way to stop her will be a cat.

“… … “Lord Julich, do you have any business with the Aldeon royal family?”

“no.”

“Then would it be okay for me to mainly handle the conversation?”

“As you wish.”

It was barely an hour. But Isaac still didn’t know if he was doing a good job.

In any case, from now on, the nameless Apostle of Chaos is planning to take with him the Angel of the Code of Light on his left and the Princess of the Red Grail Club on his right. And that too, to Aldeon Castle, Elil’s stronghold. It was difficult to say that it was absolutely safe.

‘… … I didn’t think it would be this difficult.’

***

Isaac was heading out onto the road to leave.

Female knights and knights with swollen faces came to the upper branch of the Golden Idol in a huff. The boy, who was preparing to go to Castle Aldeon, started an argument with the knights, saying, ‘I have come to avenge the broken bridge of his nose!’, so he placed his hand on his sword, thinking of me.

But just yesterday, the broken female knight bowed her head and spoke to Isaac.

“sorry. Do you happen to be a Holy Grail Knight?”

“… … That’s right.”

Voices were heard among the Aldeon knights saying something angry to each other. He bowed his head, not knowing what to do here.

“sorry! I have nothing to say about being rude! I received a call saying they were coming, but I didn’t receive any report, so it’s late! “It was only after checking with the port clerk that I found out that the Holy Grail Knight had arrived!”

“Let’s start with your name.”

“Ugh! This is Rayna Hild! “I am a senior knight of the Aldeon Knights!”

A senior engineer means he or she is a significant veteran. Perhaps because it was originally a religion that branched off from the Code of Light, its system seemed similar to the Code of Light.

Isaac listened to her story in bewilderment.

The story that Isaac would be dispatched as an envoy had, as expected, been delivered to the Kingdom of Elil. So, they decided to meet Isaac when he arrived, but the ship he was on was so simple and quiet that they did not notice that it had entered port.

Since everything happens at sea, they thought that being late for a day or two was no big deal, so they passed it over without thinking about it. In addition, the report was delayed due to the clerk’s negligence… … That’s how I ran into Isaac just yesterday.

“How did you know it was me?”

“that… … As rumored, his unusual appearance… … .”

“The handsome guy who said he would give me a stylish scar?”

The knights started bickering and kicking Reina’s back and shins.

“For talking nonsense!”

“I told you to keep your mouth shut when fighting!”

It was an unsightly appearance unbecoming of a senior knight, but perhaps because of the many sins she had committed, Raina bowed her head, not knowing what to do.

“sorry. I have nothing to say. That, and not just because of looks. Well, I don’t know if I saw it exactly, but… … “It seems like you used sword techniques, is that correct?”

Isaac wondered whether he should admit this or not.

Sword energy is the miracle of Elil. To hide the fact that she was an Elil believer, Bachul barely revealed her sword skills and hid them.

So, how will Isaac’s use of sword techniques be accepted in the Kingdom of Elil? Same side? Or a suspicious guy who steals miracles?

‘No, let’s think simply.’

Isaac remembered again that this was the Kingdom of Elil.

Here, justice is someone who is strong and fights well.

“right.”

Wow! An exclamation erupted from among the knights.

Proudness also spread across Renia’s swollen face. They even seemed to not even care about Isaac’s overbearing treatment anymore.

“also! Everyone said that there was no way he would fight so well unless it was the Holy Grail Knight who was supposed to visit right after the fight yesterday! “When I heard the rumor from across the sea, I thought it would be impossible, but the Holy Grail Knight has already reached the state of transcendence!”

“That’s right, right?”

“I thought that all the Holy Knights of the Code of Light were corrupt and corrupt weaklings, but after seeing the Holy Grail Knight, I feel that Elil’s roots are still connected!”

“… … “That is too much praise.”

Isaac caught a glimpse of Julrich’s comment when he said, ‘The Paladins of the Code of Light are corrupt.’ Sure enough, he saw her face squirm, so Isaac decided to quickly take care of the situation and get moving.

“Even the Myeongcheonsa May Sword needs to learn a lesson from the Holy Grail Knight… … .”

“Okay, let’s stop and leave now. “You wasted too much time on the road.”

As Isaac spoke hastily, the knights hit Rayna’s buttocks and shins again. He said he dared to steal the Holy Grail Knight’s time with useless chatter.

Only after Raina whispered, ‘See you later during sparring,’ did the bickering subside.

Isaac first suggested the horse they brought to Julich.

“Julrich, would you like to ride?”

“no. “I will go first.”

At the same time, she did not forget her senior’s warning.

“Don’t act arrogant just because you got some compliments.”

“… … yes.”

***

Under the guard of the Aldeon knights, Isaac was able to go straight to Aldeon Castle. Because all inspection procedures were skipped, getting to the castle was instant. There was no welcoming crowd, but this also felt strange to Isaac.

‘I feel like I’m treated better than I thought.’

In fact, Isaac expected to be scorned by the Kingdom of Elil because the feud between Elil and the Code of Light had continued for quite a long time.

It has been almost 100 years since proper dialogue took place between denominations. Even the Yeomyeong Army only sent a small group of volunteers at the civilian level, and there was no proper exchange at the national or religious level.

Therefore, even though Isaac was treated poorly when he first arrived at Port Aldeon, he only thought that what he had expected had happened. Rather, he did not expect that even the knights would come out and welcome him with such fuss.

‘If they were this desperate for conversation, they would have sent an envoy a long time ago… … It seems like he was eagerly waiting for you to apologize first.’

Anyway, Isaac was welcomed and was able to go to the castle.

However, despite this hospitality, Isaac’s impression of the Kingdom of Elil changed little.

Aldeon Castle, located at the edge of a cliff, was unique while blending in with nature.

In other words, it looked old-fashioned, old, and outdated.

In addition, the road was muddy in places, as if it had never been paved, and poor farmers were everywhere watching the drivers running with gloomy faces.

‘I already knew it, but seeing it in the game and actually experiencing it feel different.’

The most noticeable thing was the smell.

The smell of horse manure and mud.

It was like this in late winter, but I didn’t know how bad the odor would be in summer or spring. If the capital, Aldeon, is this bad, other provinces will be even more serious.

‘I never thought I’d miss the empire already.’

Doo doo doo doo… … Isaac and the Aldeon knights entered through the drawbridge connecting the cliffs.

Aldeon Castle was exquisitely built on a precarious cliff. The only way back and forth was through the drawbridge they had just passed. It’s cool and it’s good for defense, but it was the only thing Isaac could think about.

‘It’s the perfect environment to investigate a murder case.’

At that time, I saw someone hurrying out of the courtyard where Isaac had arrived. A boy much younger than Isaac was running out, wearing a bulky cape that did not fit his small frame. He wore a crown on his head as if he wanted to somehow gain authority, but it didn’t fit properly and was tilted at an angle, so it seemed better not to wear it.

It was Ethelred Aldeon, the young king of the current Kingdom of Elil.

As soon as he saw Isaac, he smiled brightly.

“Holy Grail Knight! “The Holy Grail Knight has returned!”

Isaac’s mind was confused by the expression ‘return’, but he decided to take it positively for now.

The place where the Holy Grail Knight originates is the Kingdom of Elil, so the entry of a foreign Holy Grail Knight into the Kingdom of Elil could be expressed as a ‘return’.

Isaac first got off his horse and was polite.

“I meet His Majesty King Ethelred Aldeon.”

Ethelred smiled even wider at Isaac’s polite attitude. He came down from the stairs, grabbed Isaac by the arm, and started dragging him, as if he wanted to guide him personally.

“Get up! now. There are a lot of stories I want to tell. Weren’t you tired on the way home? The port is underdeveloped… … .”

“your majesty.”

At that time, a man with a pointed mustache next to him spoke to Ethelred. Their status was unknown, but in fact, this country had no meaning because knights, nobles, priests, and paladins performed almost the same duties. King Ethelred glared at the knight, but the knight did not move.

“We will serve Lord Issacrea. Please keep your guard up. “If you are waiting in the civil war, I will serve you.”

‘Actually, this is true.’

Isaac, who was caught in the middle, was embarrassed, but if it were to be formal, it was right to do as the article said. However, Ethelred strongly pulled Isaac’s arm and urged him.

“The Holy Grail Knight came across the sea to meet me! “What’s wrong with those who crushed it without even doing it properly?”

“Your Majesty, the Holy Grail Knight did not come to meet you, but as a representative of the nation… … .”

‘Hezabel, get my attention.’

Before the argument escalated, Isaac sent a short note to Heshabel, who had ridden with him.

Immediately the horse Hezabel was riding began to make a fuss. While Hesabel was screaming, the knights panicked and ran to the place and grabbed the reins. While the knights’ eyes were focused on that place, Ethelred entered the castle, half dragging Isaac.

Isaac was dragged by his hand, and when he made sure there was no one around, he opened his mouth.

“Now there is no one. your majesty.”

Ethelred looked around at those words. He still seemed to be having trouble hiding his excitement, but he tried to remain calm and squeezed Isaac’s hand.

“I looked like I couldn’t see it. “Holy Grail Knight.”

This is the image of a king arguing with his subjects in front of an ambassador from another country. There is nothing more unsightly than that. But Isaac knew that Ethelred Aldeon was not just a child.

He is a talented person who is worthy of being the king of Elil.

“I had no choice but to talk to those crazy thugs.”

He was a terrible knight hater.
