My Villains Episode 475
66. silver prince(30)
A damp smell slowly colored the surrounding air. Just before a shower falls, the faint scent of water spreads on the wind..
The change was so secret and gradual that it was imperceptible. The heat of the embers left by the war, the green breath that filled the forest, and the smell that flowed along the river had all faded away, but few people noticed it..
By the time the emperor's wizards and others who were skilled in magic noticed the abnormality, the entire garrison was already surrounded by magic energy..
However, just because I couldn't handle magic or wasn't used to it didn't mean I couldn't feel a sense of discomfort..
“……Something's strange.”
The boy who muttered that was Rujan, who had become elector of Angst and Obdorf a few hours ago..
Befitting his title, the young empress was occupying a place of honor on the podium..
Unlike the surrounding nobles who could not take their eyes off the surreal confrontation between the dragon slayer and the red knight unfolding beneath the podium, the scarlet brown eyes were glancing in the direction where the emperor was sitting..
For a moment, the jewel-like eyes catch the sunlight and sparkle red. Lu Yan slightly wet her lips and leaned to the side, pretending to lean on the armrest..
“ majesty.”
At that small whisper, Prince Ulkar briefly made eye contact with Rujan and then turned his head back down the podium..
“Are you listening?.”
“It feels strange.”
Instead of asking what that meant, the prince quickly glanced around. As I paid a little more attention, I noticed a suspicious corner just as the boy had warned..
The first noticeable change was the soldiers surrounding the podium. Among the heavy infantrymen wearing plate armor and carrying two-handed weapons, ceremonial iron leaders holding magic scrolls are mixed in. You can also see imperial knights and officers on horseback walking around..
Most of the 'sacred hundred' who had been scattered around the podium before the sparring began gathered behind the throne. The emperor's bodyguards, whose golden plate armor was decorated with cloth embossed with mysterious characters, seemed somewhat nervous..
Finally, the emperor.
He had a young, beautiful mistress and a trustworthy guardian on either side of him. However, the faces of Viscount Anyel on the right and General Fabio on the left seemed strangely stiff..
Ruilix II, who was sitting between the two, was having a conversation with Broxor, the imperial chief wizard. Unlike the emperor, who seemed to be happily stroking his beard under his veil and shaking his shoulders, the head wizard's wrinkled face was covered in sweat..
Prince Ulkar suddenly swallowed dry saliva. He realized that the voices of the Emperor and Broxor could not be heard at all..
“Hey, you rat.!”
“Uh-huh haha!”
When Kamos let out a roar that could not be believed to be human, Phoenix let out a bloodcurdling laugh. Then, when the greatsword and the longsword clashed, a loud noise followed by sand dust rose up..
“……It's scary. Isn't that so??”
“It would be difficult for even a decent soldier to subdue two to three hundred men..”
“A guy like that is sitting on an ice cream bar.……
“I am worried about the trade route leading to Milano..”
“Eisbowald is a city that makes a living through customs duties and brokerage, so what are you worried about? If there is a problem, wouldn't it be possible to increase the number of trade ships or open a route through 'Rinneh'?.”
“Ha, are you saying we have to deal with ‘Blood White’ and ‘Frost Ball’? It would be better to roast and boil the red knight.……
Even in the midst of all this noise, Prince Ulkar's ears were accurately picking up the voices of the empire's nobles. As a prince, his sense of having to live the life of a knight-errant and a warlord was that much superhuman..
However, despite his superhuman hearing, he could not hear the words of Ruilix II and Broxor at all. It's not just that you can't eavesdrop on the exact content, it's that you can't even hear the mumbling..
‘Sound absorbing barrier……
Prince Ulkar noticed the unusual atmosphere and ran his hand through his hair with his silver prosthetic hand..
He didn't like the coldness of Master Madaz's metal hands. Therefore, the prince's touching of his face with his prosthetic hand was clearly a conscious act..
It was also a signal.
Lu Yan confirmed this and secretly took off his gloves. At the same time as the thunder giant's tattoo was revealed, a rippling air current surrounded the boy's body..
Atalanta, who was sitting nearby, uncrossed her legs and stretched. The sharp lines and flexible muscles attracted the attention of nobles who were secretly watching Ulkar and his party..
The blind viper's faithful servant, Drieser, held his master's elbow to convey the signal. The arrogant Lord Lyam slowly let his hand rest on the armrest and adjusted his sword belt, and Gisella the Birdman took off her cloak and hung it on the backrest. Other knights also put down their drinking glasses, placed weapons leaning on the table on their thighs, or tightened the straps of their breastplates that had been loosened..
Lannon, the Red Knight's hidden dagger and well-known as the 'Black Lady', was immediately tensed. Prince Silver, who was sitting at the head table, read the air currents even before he gave a signal to his subordinates.
Now, she was internally checking the attack methods on her body..
'Cloud Sword' with a spell that sharpens the blade, 'Geoggeol' that can still tear through plate armor like a linen blanket even though it is broken in half, 'Blinking Dagger' with a blink spell, and 'Jeolmyeongcho', a rare poisonous plant. Five throwing daggers with the blades soaked in a poison made from a mixture of lily of the valley and purple salt.…….
After completing the inspection in an instant, Lannon suddenly noticed Hayla sitting one seat to the right and narrowed his eyes..
‘That idiot.’
She seemed to have no idea what was going on around her, but her eyes were fixed on the bottom of the podium. When the dragon slayer pushes the red knight, he freezes like a statue, but when the situation turns around, he sips red wine one after another..
Sighing inwardly, Lannon lifted his fork and took a bite of the large piece of cake on Hayla's plate..
“ bout.”
Only after the chiffon cake topped with a sticky rum sauce disappeared into her small mouth did Hayla's gaze turn to the side. 'What are you doing now?' Lannon pursed his lips and answered with a questioning look in his eyes..
“stop drinking.”
“alcohol. Stop drinking.”
I even blinked for a moment. Hayla immediately grasped the situation. The powerful magic sensed the energy of the other world at once, and the insight that awakened belatedly read the secret tension harbored by the Silver Prince and his subordinates..
She took another sip of wine and set the glass down. Then, I naturally turned around and looked at Poynix's soldiers who were seated at the end..
Soon, a female prosecutor who made eye contact with Hayla approached..
“Do you need something, lady??”
“ bag.”
“……You mean the bag? Now?”
“huh. Bring it to me.”
What Heyla took from a heavy swordsman from the Crescent Moon Islands was a backpack the size of her torso. It had a wooden base and was wrapped in red leather, and although it was a bit large, it did not arouse suspicion as it looked no different from the travel bags commonly used by noble women..
However, it seems to have looked a little different in the eyes of the Red Knight, who was repeatedly pushed back by the dragon slayer's wave after wave of attacks..
“••••••hmm?”
As he passed by, he caught Heyla hugging a backpack the size of his torso, and immediately noticed a strange air current flowing over the podium..
Wow.
Immediately after, blood flowed from the Red Knight's body. At the same time, the anti-magic field installed by the emperor's court wizard distorted, making a loud noise..
In just a couple of breaths after Phoenix raised his magic power, the anti-magic field shattered into pieces and made a sharp sound as if my eardrums were being torn apart..
Jaeaeaeang-!
“Damn it, damn it.”
“What is this-”
In terms of the size of the sound, it was similar to the roar of the dragon slayer and the red knight, or the roar of two swords clashing, but the pitch of the sound was incomparably high, so the nobles on the podium and the soldiers lined up around them hurriedly shouted. I covered my ears.
Tsutsutsu_ “ Ha.”
Either way, the red knight was smiling slyly. In the blink of an eye, he deployed his 'iron-blooded armor', covered both arms and left shoulder with dark red scales, and raised the long sword that had fallen at his feet. The black ice, which was holding condensation and emitting a slight cold air, instantly froze when the blood flowing through the red knight's hand stained the blade..
“What kind of atmosphere is this??”
Kamos, who was in the middle of a battle, snorted and rushed toward Phoenix, who was muttering like a wild beast..
“this guy!”
A huge sword rushed in with the force of splitting not only the air but also the dirt floor in two. The red knight hovered on the platform, glanced at the dragon slayer's attack, and swung his dark red glowing ice sword with a cold smile on his face..
Kwaang-!
“••••••hmm!" As a different level of repulsion than before was transmitted through the great sword, Kamos narrowed his eyes slightly. The smile of Poynix, who was crossing swords with him, became even brighter..
“The sparring is over, my friend..”
“Asshole-”
The dragon slayer let out anger and put his weight down on the great sword. No, I was going to do that..
cover stone.
An ugly hand covered in jagged scales is holding a great sword..
Gaggggg-
Instead of panicking, Kamos quickly twisted his sword. However, only shallow scratches remained on the dark red scales, and the hands and ears did not move..
The blood that circulated and boiled fiercely supplied enormous vitality and enabled the Red Knight to display a force that was close to twice that of his previous strength..
Even so, it wasn't enough to overwhelm the dragon slayer, but it was enough to briefly embarrass him..
The red knight held his greatsword tightly and rotated his body. In an instant, he fell into Kamos' arms.,
Wow!
I hit him in the chin with my elbow..
Even the sharp, half-span-long scales on his elbows could not tear the skin of a warrior descended from mountain giants..
“Ugh,”
However, the shock delivered was enough, and the dragon slayer was unable to control his huge body and stumbled, ending up falling on his butt..
“That coward’!”
As a signal, the young field marshal of the empire, Nadim von Stampterk, began to shout violently by banging on the table, and the enraged nobles stood up and lashed out at the Red Knight..
At that very moment, Poynix jumped up after three or four steps and climbed onto the podium. And immediately he swung his ice knife..
