Episode 33. The smell of burning birch trees

Surprisingly, he is human.

A young man and an old man with white hair.

The two were lying on the ground, holding each other tightly.

In particular, the old man gritted his teeth and did not loosen his arms.

It seems to be a gesture to protect a precious being.

“Ugh!”

The young man, who was relatively less shocked, woke up first.

Not a commoner

A natural elegance flowed.

His face was pale compared to his shiny clothes.

A subtle majesty was also felt.

It was clear that he was not of ordinary status.

“… Lord Felborn!”

As soon as the young man opened his eyes, he realized that he was crushing someone.

And he tried his best to get the old man up.

“stop! “Don’t touch me, just get out of the way.”

The young man’s condition was also not perfect.

He is in a state of confusion, as if he has received a strong shock.

The condition of an old man named Lord Felborn was even more serious.

I approached and grabbed the armpit.

My energy and blood are messed up.

Typical symptoms of hypochondria.

It was clear what happened when excessive Jinki was used beyond its capabilities.

“I don’t know who it is, but please save Lord Felborn! “I will never forget that grace for the rest of my life!”

The young man even showed tears.

I was just looking into it out of recognition, but they even gave me money.

Thank you to me.

The absolute truth taught by Master.

There is nothing free in this world.

“Please do not come near me during treatment.”

The old man’s condition was becoming more and more critical.

“All right!”

He touched the old man’s famous acupuncture point and breathed inner energy into it.

Treatment began with the essential phrases of Shingong.

Sssssssut.

He calmed the old man’s energy with powerful internal energy.

New energy was injected into the blood vessels that were swollen and threatening to burst.

I calmed down my anger by gently coaxing him.

When I gave them food, their spirits calmed down.

I used some patience.

These days, air power is at a standstill.

It doesn’t hurt to give a little away.

Time passed like that.

Approximately 30 minutes.

I opened my eyes.

A surprise occurred.

Old people are not ordinary people.

It wasn’t the dantian, but the energy near the heart was stirring.

High-level, incredible endurance.

The mana breathing method was clear.

This breathing method is said to be used only by wizards.

It’s top quality too!

“What happened?”

“It has been cured to some extent. “I will be visiting the group briefly, so please be on guard.”

“Benefactor! thank you!”

The young man bowed his head and expressed his sincere gratitude.

The attitude of a young man who is presumed to be a cheap nobleman.

“Please wait a moment.”

The young man held out his hand.

“What is it?”

“It’s a small item, but for now, this is the only thing I can repay your kindness for.”

I accepted the item the young man handed me.

It is a fist-sized object with a golden dragon engraved on it.

At first glance, it seemed like it was quite expensive.

“You don’t have to do this… … .”

Unlike his words, his hands moved quickly.

I already packed it in my arms.

“Wait here. “I will tell the group and come back.”

I returned to Roll.

I said I would practice for a while and came back… … .

The two people were no longer there.

A brief, coincidental meeting.

Although we only passed by, it wasn’t a bad relationship.

***

“You cannot enter or leave the royal capital today, so go back!”

Arrived at the royal castle.

The exclamation, ‘As expected of a capital city!’ came out naturally.

The castle was huge.

A huge shadow that could be seen from far away.

After coming to the foot of the castle and welcoming him, he couldn’t keep his mouth shut any longer.

A solidly built castle wall.

The outer walls of the capital of the Paishan Kingdom were over 30 meters high.

The sturdy spire was nothing compared to the duchy.

A sculpture that combines practicality and aesthetic elements in balance and harmony.

The walls were strict.

Hundreds of heavily armed soldiers and dozens of knights blocked the castle gate.

“Everyone go back! “Even if you stay up all night, the gates won’t open!”

There were already many people waiting for the gates to open.

Merchants, mercenaries, priests, and even people who appear to be nobles.

Everyone just looked at the gate.

It was clear that something big had happened.

I was slowly getting annoyed.

I wanted to taste the delicacies that exist in the royal castle.

The Royal Palace Library is also one of the purposes of the visit.

“ha.”

Roll’s expression was sad.

Not knowing what was going on inside the castle, I just stared at the gate.

“Don’t worry. “Your family will be safe.”

“I hope so, but I keep worrying.”

Since I was not the head of the family, I could only guess the weight of it.

I could feel his feelings deeply.

Roll was clearly a family man.

“Even if the sky falls today, the gates will not open. So everyone go back! It is the last warning. I will count to ten. “Still, if there are any who remain here, I will punish them for treason!”

Among the knights, the one who seemed to be the senior one raised his mana and made a threat.

Chaang!

I drew my sword.

Cha, sleep, sleep.

As soon as he finished speaking, the knights and soldiers drew their weapons and aimed.

The atmosphere suddenly became bloodier.

“backwards!”

“Let’s all step aside.”

The group headed to the village outside the castle as if they were being chased.

The village outside the royal castle was also quite large.

It was crowded.

There was no space at the table outside the inn.

At that moment, one seat was empty.

The group barely sat down in one place.

“… “There is only one menu today, would you like it?”

The owner’s expression is arrogant.

An unavoidable situation.

“Bring it to me.”

Roll nodded.

“Don’t you need a drink?”

“That too.”

“yes!”

The owner walked away.

The quiet voices heard at that moment.

“Did you hear that?”

“what?”

“Well, it seems that His Highness the First King rebelled and tried to take the throne. “The Djeru family found out about it and stopped it.”

“Was that true? “Was it true that the king died and ran away with the court wizard?”

“Speak quietly. “It’s real.”

“Tsk tsk, don’t worry. “You kill the king to take over the position that will soon return to you even if you remain silent.”

“There is no position better than that of a king. A delicious meal every day, no conscription, no taxes… … . And with those pretty women… … . “Kkkkkk.”

“I’m so jealous. Hehehe.”

I could hear whispers from people who appeared to be residents.

There was a smell of burning birch trees.

Rumor has it that the first prince had great filial piety.

Moreover, there is no need for the crown prince, who is first in line, to start a rebellion.

Something is strange.

Curiosity raises its head.

There is only one way.

You can climb over the castle wall at night and check it out.

Evidence is bound to remain at the crime scene.

We set up camp in a vacant lot outside the village.

The group all fell into a deep sleep early due to fatigue.

I left with the excuse of training time to Paco, who was on watch.

He ran straight to the royal castle.

Using divine techniques, he took advantage of the blind spot of the castle and watchtower and jumped up.

Cracking.

I stamped my feet twice and climbed over the castle wall.

There were guards standing everywhere on the castle walls.

I ran away from their gaze.

Sasak.

Land lightly.

I jumped onto the tallest building I could see.

“oh!”

The night view of Wangseong at a glance was beautiful.

Surprisingly, street lights existed.

The magic light that I had only heard about was acting as a street light.

The royal castle was densely packed with magnificent stone buildings.

There was no movement of people.

It was clear that a strict alert had been issued.

The reality is that only groups of soldiers are patrolling.

We headed towards the royal palace.

The speed was increased using secret methods.

Shishik.

It moved like the shadow of a wild bird.

While moving, I encountered a sight that made me frown.

Some of the luxury complexes lined up burned down.

A foul smell of blood was wafting from everywhere.

It was clear that the scene where Salpuri had taken place was.

Then, we arrived at the outer gate of the royal palace.

The royal palace consisted of a dual structure of the outer and inner walls.

This is where you need to be more careful.

I hid myself in the shadows of the building.

The exterior was brutal.

Knights full of spirit stood like soldiers everywhere.

It happened to be very cloudy.

Crack.

It soared vertically and flew up.

He moved by kicking one foot and the other in the air.

As internal strength increased rapidly, the new law was also affected.

“!!!”

As expected from a royal castle, the ornate sculptures and beautiful castle buildings caught the eye.

The words of the mercenaries that it was once the greatest empire on the continent became true.

But the admiration was short-lived.

Knights wearing armor were walking around the castle with bloody eyes.

A situation where you have to save yourself.

It is not the Knights of the Guard.

A Royal Guards uniform with a gold dragon engraved on a pure white plate.

These were clearly different knights.

I walked toward the inner city.

Blood traces found throughout the movement.

I could guess that a great bloody wind had blown past.

The closer we got to the castle, the more people there were.

However, only the knights were visible inside.

I felt the wave of energy right away.

It was clear that they were all experts.

Nevertheless, curiosity wins!

It was much more beautiful and grand than the Vatican Palace or Buckingham Palace.

In particular, the dragon statue located in the center of the inner castle is overwhelming.

A huge sculpture about 100 meters tall.

Just seeing the flying figure made my heart tingle.

It was like a stuffed living dragon.

Take a moment to look around.

I walked quietly and secretly towards the central building.

It feels like there’s something there.

It moved silently like a rat, climbing a pillar in a blind spot of a building.

3rd Floor.

The room looked like a bedroom where a noble person had stayed.

As a rough estimate, it’s about 100 pyeong.

Famous paintings such as portraits and landscapes decorate the walls.

There is a rug on the floor that looks and feels soft.

Huge couches, etc.

what? This???

A red brooch lies on the floor under the bed.

There is a large jewel embedded in it.

I held it in my hand.

It’s not for stealing.

It’s because I have a feeling that there is some deep story behind it.

I packed it in my arms.

Sigh.

I looked at the building.

It’s as quiet as a rat’s dead.

There seems to be no one inside the building.

At that time, I heard a conversation somewhere.

“Count Kaishur! “Viscount Eldin!”

“sorry. dismissal!!”

“I committed a mortal sin. “Your Excellency the Duke!”

An angry voice pierced my ears.
