Grave Keeper of the Fallen Kingdom

The expedition suddenly entered an emergency state.

The disappearance of Louis Hertia, the third prince of the Brilliant Kingdom.

A boss with a huge weight class different from the existing desert bosses appeared earlier than expected.

No matter how unprepared to catch the boss, there was a high-ranking knight, Scarlett Argen, in the expedition.

Even so, I missed it too much.

‘Tsk.’

Scarlett was in a state of fever at the fact that she had lost the opponent she was excited to fight for the first time in a while.

Louise’s disappearance wasn’t particularly worrying.

‘Len Argen… … .’

The guy who disappeared with Louise kept bothering me.

The guy who recognized the boss before himself and went to protect Louise.

When you see him wielding a sword, he only looks like a knight at best.

However, looking at him, incomprehensible phenomena occur around him.

‘curious.’

Scarlett went out with the expedition to find Louise’s group.

Riding a combat camel.

Joined them and quickly began to search the desert area.

And by the time the blue sky of dawn is revealed after a full day has passed.

I found a strong sand wind in the desert.

“I’ll go first, follow me yourself!”

Scarlett left the knights alone and left the camel and ran.

A sandstorm seen across the desert horizon.

It is a phenomenon that is difficult to occur unless someone artificially created it.

ugh-

Every time a step touches the ground, you can feel the resonance of the ground.

As the distance grew closer, doubt gradually turned to certainty.

‘That’s… … !’

A purple mist spread hazy in the air.

The magic power of black magicians is clear.

Scarlett sensed that there were more complicated things involved in this case than she thought, and she immediately pulled out her sword.

Upon entering through the sand dust, what we see is Len Argen, who has collapsed while bleeding, and a wizard wearing a black robe.

The purple magic that bloomed at the end of his staff was directed at Ren.

Argen swordsmanship

– 3rd Season (絶技)

– Moon wave

The red energy gathered at the tip of the sword shoots out in the form of a half moon and flies towards the warlock.

The third season, which was brought out to neutralize the black magician with a surprise single shot.

“her?”

The warlock who hurriedly unfolded his shield only rolled on the ground despite receiving the wave, but it doesn’t seem to have suffered much damage.

‘Can you endure my wolpa? Did Len Argen hold out against a guy like that?’

Behind him, a dark earthworm that has already passed its life can be seen.

Judging by the skin ripped all the way from the head, it looks like this guy killed it… … .

“what is your identity?”

Did he really hide his power?

Len Argen’s feeble gaze slowly moves upward.

“sugar… God… … .”

Wooo!!

While Ren struggled to speak, he felt the bloody magic behind him.

Before Scarlett even turned her head, she moved her sword and predicted the direction and swung it.

Tentacles severed by her sword flutter on the floor before dispersing and disappearing.

A shallow smile began to spread across her lips.

“Are you a little strong?”

“What a dog! Why do annoying things keep popping up one by one? I can’t. I will kill you all.”

After rolling on the ground a few times, the heat seemed to reach all the way to the top of the head, and the warlock’s momentum changed completely.

“It’s fun.”

Scarlett spat out a short comment before kicking off the ground and running.

* * *

My mind is blank.

My whole body was throbbing as if I had been beaten several times by monsters, and I couldn’t even budge.

Heavy eyelids keep urging me to close my eyes.

‘Tsk.’

The moment I saw Scarlet Argen, my entire body relaxed.

I hate to admit it, but I was relieved.

The black magician’s skills were beyond my imagination, but I still didn’t think that Scarlett would lose.

I never thought her back would be so strong looking from behind.

“Grace is… … I will pay you back.”

I murmured and closed my eyes.

I probably didn’t hear it because I was fighting fiercely.

When I opened my eyes, the familiar ceiling of the barracks came into view.

[“Main Quest – Stop the Conspiracy of the Warlock” has been resolved.]

[Acquire 「Spell of Weakness」.]

“Ah, I see… … .”

Reading the message, I could see that Scarlett had handled Nigerman well while I was asleep.

[Spell of Debilitation]

Uses spiritual power to attach evil spirits to opponents.

# Nearby spirits trap opponents.

# The physical ability of the opponent to which the soul clings is reduced.

Attach evil spirits to opponents?

I didn’t dare to catch it just by looking at this description of how it felt.

Moreover, an ability that cannot be used without a soul nearby.

It doesn’t look so good for completing the quest with difficulty.

“wren? Are you awake?”

I was lying down, and I jumped up and turned my head at the voice I heard.

Louise was sitting in a chair, looking at me.

“Your Highness the Prince?”

It was embarrassing.

‘Couldn’t you have been waiting here until I woke up?’

It’s scary to think, but I can see his thick blue hair and clear blue eyes.

“Are you sure you waited here until I woke up?”

“Okay, how are you feeling?”

“it’s okay. Because of me… … , sorry.”

“Don’t talk like that. Didn’t you save me and my knights?”

With those words, Louise rose from her chair and bowed lightly.

I was startled and got up from my seat.

“Don’t do that!”

“sorry. I made you like this because of my lack of ability.”

“no. majesty.”

“And thank you. If it wasn’t for you, my life would have ended there.”

Honestly, this is questionable.

I said let’s find the graveyard of the Red Moon tribe, and since we found the graveyard, the warlocks appeared.

Would Louise’s life be in danger without me?

Rather, maybe it was dangerous because I was there.

“… … .”

I couldn’t say anything about his thanks.

“Do you want anything? I will compensate you in any way.”

It’s a reward… … .

Nothing particularly came to mind.

If I had to ask, it would be a useful sword.

But what I was worried about now was about Decaine.

From the time I accepted this job, I was thinking of expanding my support for Decane.

But after meeting the warlocks, I wasn’t sure if that was the right thing to do or not.

Even if the Brilliant Kingdom strengthened the security of Decaine, at best it would be about increasing the number of soldiers or sending semi-knights.

If you’re a little patronizing, you can send one more driver.

However, the warlocks I met today were both high-ranking knights.

In other words, as long as the same high-ranking knight does not come to support, it will be a mana.

Rather, I was worried that black magicians would draw more attention because of the state’s support.

“… … Even if it’s okay, you won’t accept it.”

“In the meantime, you got to know me quite well.”

It’s not like that, I’ve seen you for over 10 years and I can’t know.

A shallow smile appears on Louise’s face.

Do I feel good because I know myself well?

“Give me a little time. Can I tell you if you remember?”

“okay. i get it. But if it takes too long, I’ll make my own decisions and reward you. And externally, the royal family will reward you.”

“All right.”

Since you helped save the prince, of course there must be a reward that can be seen on the surface.

Even if I didn’t say it, the king would give me a reward considering that.

“Since I saw you woke up well, I’ll stop going.”

“Ah, I have something to give you, Your Highness.”

“what?”

I took a small egg from my pocket and handed it to him.

Upon seeing the egg, Louise’s eyes turned to me.

was asking what

“I found it when I briefly ran away to the graveyard of the Red Moon tribe chief while dealing with the warlock.”

“… … You found it in the grave of the chieftain?”

Louise’s eyes widened.

You seem quite surprised.

Well, it’s not surprising to suddenly receive the elixir you gave up.

“A secret elixir of the Red Moon clan. There were two pills, I ate one to heal my wound and brought the other. The wound is so bad that one can’t help it… … .”

“done.”

Louise took my hand and handed me the pills she had been given.

“This is what you found. I don’t deserve this.”

I knew it would be like this.

If it was Louise’s personality, she wouldn’t take it lightly.

At times like this, I need to appeal to him that I am not simply doing him a favor.

“It’s a presumptuous statement, but as you know, I’m much stronger than His Highness the Prince.”

“Know.”

If he had spit this out at the other princes, he would have drawn his sword right away.

Since the opponent was Louise, this was possible.

“This pill doesn’t mean much to me. After I ate one, I knew better. These pills significantly increase your physical abilities and stamina. What I need now is the realization of the heart. Even if you eat this, your injured body will only recover quickly.”

It sounds pretty plausible even when I say it.

Right now, Prince Louis must think of me as a high-ranking knight, so he won’t be able to find a blind spot in what I’m saying.

A high-ranking knight is like that, but what can you do if you haven’t reached the level of a full knight yet?

“… … is it.”

also.

Louise grabs her chin and nods in agreement with my words.

Now it’s time to nail the wedge.

“It’s not just giving. I saw the potential of His Highness the Prince.”

“my… Possibility?”

“yes. Your Highness’ swordsmanship talent is on a different level than other knights. At least a senior article… No, he has the talent of a master swordsman.”

Upon hearing my words, Louise’s pupils were shaking wildly.

He seems to be shaken by the voice that he is not a high-ranking knight, but a master-class talent.

Looking at it like this, I think that Louise is still very young.

‘Yes, even for Prince Louise, 10 years is still a long way off.’

I put the pill in his hand again with a serious expression.

“I am investing in your future. Please accept it.”

“… … thanks… all.”

It seems that he was thrilled that Louise’s eyes, which usually do not change much, were moist.

OK, that works very well.

“Do not eat right away. You should take it in the decane later when I am there.”

“Why do you have to eat there?”

So that my ancestors can see it.

This is the only way to maximize the effect.

I would like to go to the graveyard of the Red Moon tribe where Zalatan is located, but I had to hide the location as much as possible.

“The place is good. It is a place where the elixir is good. I know because I have been there.”

“… … Do you like it?”

“yes. You don’t believe me? Is that a high-ranking knight?”

“… … i get it.”

Louise narrowed her brows as if she was embarrassed, but in the end she agreed without being able to refute.

“And I want you to keep my skills a secret.”

“I know that. There must be a reason why you hid your skills so far.”

“Oh, and about the graveyard of the Red Moon tribe.”

“okay. If you reveal the location, the warlocks might come looking for it again. I will also tell the knights.”

“thank you.”

After talking with Louise, he went outside.

Then, there was a commotion outside, and the door of the barracks opened again, and the knights rushed in.

They were Louise’s knights.

“wren! Are you okay?”

“How do you feel? The doctors said the bones all over the body were cracked and broken, and they were in a frenzy?”

“The side? Is it surprisingly okay here?”

“Uh uh uh… … . wren! I was so worried when I thought you were going to die.”

Why the hell are these guys doing this?

I know it hurts, please stay away from me.

“uuu!”

I pretended to be sick to push away the knights who were hugging me.

“Huh? Gwa, are you okay?”

“Hey you bastard! Ren is hurting because of you!”

Khalid, the mustache knight, hit the back of the head of the knight holding me and pulled him off.

As if the driver was sorry, he began to look carefully at me with tears in his eyes.

“Okay… It’s okay… … .”

“Screams are horrible? Are you really okay?”

“yes. I can endure it.”

In fact, it doesn’t hurt at all.

While I was sleeping, I felt like the priests at the church had fully recovered my body.

“Just these! He said that Ren’s body was completely healed! Was it a lie?”

uh… … ? did you hear that?

“No matter how you look at it, it looks painful! I must go and say something!”

“I go too. Even the clergy of the church have to say what they have to say.”

“Oh, no… . Now that I look at it, I think I’m fine… … .”

“wren! are you okay. We will help you as much as you saved us, so rest in peace.”

Having said that, the knight rushed out of the barracks.

“Now, hold on!”

Well, the momentum was so good, I didn’t even have time to stop it.

“Hey! Don’t worry!”

“No, I’m fine?”

“What are you talking about! I just heard that scream! It was a scream that couldn’t come out unless it really hurt!”

“Are you okay?”

“Tsk! Let the sick lie down! Let us repay the favor!”

“Hey, this color… … !”

Eventually, Khalid shuts my mouth.

It’s so strong that it’s hard to get out of it with my own strength.

“look! Can’t you push us out when your body is fully recovered?”

“Yes! ha ha ha!”

‘… … Aren’t you doing this knowing that I’m weak?’

That day, I was finally released after a full and half day of further treatment by the priests.
