Chapter 516
My Villains Episode 516
67. Lord of Icebovald(9)
The energy extending from Iopiya's fingertips overpowered all of Egon's senses. It was the magic of ‘fairy tale’.
“E- billion.”
In the process, the young shaman's mental power easily overwhelmed the taller boy. Egon, who was blocked from all sense and even perception, froze in a struggling position. The anomalous application of magic that shares senses and abilities, using it as a trap that binds the body and mind..
The magic-filled eyes of the shaman glowed dark blue..
“Relax, don't be scared.”
Looking down at the unconscious boy with his mouth wide open, her eyes were suddenly burning with passion for the truth. The young, innocent seeker tried to suppress the feeling of spiritual superiority and innocent joy that kept rising, with a sense of good guilt..
It wasn't easy. It was difficult for Iopia to even think about it for herself. Of course, how long has it been since this last sample was given?.
Slave soldiers who suffered as their souls were held by a leash by Altenburg's vicious Gwangmyeong cultists. It was Iopiya that led them to liberation..
The young shaman touched the souls of 3,000 slaves. It took off the leash, drove away the taint of the mind, comforted the persistent nightmares and formless anxiety..
In the process, about 2,000 people were able to preserve their lives and recover their minds at the same time..
The merciful lord entrusted those who wanted to return home to Utequai. Using the Thunder Giant's journey to the prairie as a river, more than six hundred people longing for their hometown left..
The rest swore allegiance to their lord and received a new name, 'Freedom Regiment'. The unbridled slaves became Depelken's unwavering spears..
The story had a wonderful ending, but it left a small but vivid stain on the young shaman..
The soul is the most important element of life. Naturally, dealing with such a soul is a very dangerous task..
Half a year of guiding helpless souls for a just cause. Countless souls were scattered, broken, and twisted at her fingertips..
Even amidst the worried gazes, IOPIYA maintained the composure of a shaman. Every time the slaves lost their minds, became empty shells, or passed away, dissuasion continued. Every time that happened, she hid her turbulence by feigning resoluteness..
The spirit, trained spiritually through repetition of terrible tension, eventually adapted to the situation. no. It was more than an adaptation..
Without realizing it, Iopiya became addicted to the act of massaging her soul..
The shaman knelt down on one knee in front of the boy who was lying in a strange posture and whispered..
“stay still-”
A voice with quite a bit of breathing. Iopiya looked into Egon's soul through his unfocused eyes..
“O huh” — w •
Is it because it’s been a while since I’ve had soul vision? It feels like the boy's soul is barely visible. I think it would be easier to observe if the soul was pulled out just slightly, just slightly, from the body. No, it definitely is. It is a necessary process.
“Ugh. Reg 'te akruju. ”
A low murmur. The gloomy silver light that bound the boy's head flickers once..
“Anyway, to make a fuss.”
Ellen, who was watching the scene while sinking into the soft leather sofa, sneered briefly..
“No matter how mysterious the magic of the grassland is, it is nothing compared to the necromancers of Yeonggeummun..”
She was talking to herself as if she wanted to be heard, and Theodora, who was sitting next to her, smiled softly and expressed her curiosity..
“why do you think so?”
“You know it when you see it. It's not that big of a deal, but you're making such a fuss when you're just observing..”
“It means that necromancers are different.?”
“At least Luke, the old man was different. Just by looking at it briefly, it was like looking right into your soul..”
The wizard, who remembered the dead villain, secretly expressed his displeasure. Meanwhile, we continued chatting quietly..
“Well, it might be difficult to compare since the necromancers are a group that specializes in human souls and the Eopiyas snoop around on all kinds of animals. Still, if you look closely, it seems that no matter how different the lineage is, there is a difference in each level..”
It was a remark made based on pride in one's lineage, that is, magic..
It was an attitude that could be a little off-putting to a paladin who exercised the power of God on his behalf, but Theodora agreed appropriately with a face that was no different from usual..
Ellen, who had been talking about the workings of magic while Iopiya continued to observe, suddenly complained that she had become bored..
“Poi, I think he thinks of me as his direct alchemist or vassal..”
“What do you mean by that suddenly??”
“They make you work all the time. Just today, I've been stuck in the alchemy lab since morning..”
“You mean the lab? Oh, did I mention that we are tinkering with the manufacturing process for reserve potions??”
“That ended last week. Please develop a new refining method for the salt produced in 'Bindiu'. They say they want to somehow commercialize low-quality rock salt. Ugh, the money is rising……
Seeing her click her tongue, Theodora defended Phoenix with a smile..
“Prince Depelken is a land with few useful resources, except for Zelntree's lumber. If we can come up with a good product with Ellen's help, it will be a great help in expanding our finances. That's how it is to run a fiefdom..”
“That's true, I know. But no matter if it's a big or important task, I end up passing on all the annoying chores. It's furniture and refined salt, and no matter how much you sell, it's not even half of the tariff..”
“Just because you have a good source of income, how can you save a lot of money if you neglect those who make less money? And shouldn't Miss Ellen be proud of Lord Phoenix's kindness??”
“Me? why?”
“Seeing Jeong-in's meticulous handling of work will ease your worries about the future. In my opinion, Miss Ellen is by no means good at managing a household, so she should feel more at ease..”
“……In my opinion, the princess is too direct. How about learning to speak a little differently??”
Despite the glaring gaze and rude criticism, the paladin only burst into laughter. The wizard turned his head away with a red snort, but he didn't look very offended..
“It is clear that Lord Phoenix has a remarkable talent for manipulating people. I never imagined he would be such a shameless man..”
“……is it so?”
What Theodora brought up was a story about traveling to villages where churches were not established and consecrating agricultural land..
The first paladin of Calandari set out on a mid-winter fortress tour like a monk-in-training, but if we were to judge her contribution, it was partly at the prince's request and the rest was her own will..
However, Theodora wants
They complained, albeit awkwardly, and Ellen chimed in excitedly and began to disparage her lover..
“Look, I don't know how grateful I am. Neither the princess nor I are staying here because we have no work to do, right? If you think about it, everything went wrong because of that guy..”
Looking back at the situation before Phoenix obtained the title, Theodora, as the first Holy Knight of Calandari, was scheduled to visit the royal capital of the Kingdom of Milanol to promote friendship with the Church of Elganor. Ellen, as the High Master of La-Palais Palace, was also planning to head to the royal road to investigate a series of incidents that occurred at the Council of Dawn..
The reason the situation between the two was complicated was because of the ripple effect that was sent to Eisbovald..
The Patriarch of the Church of El Ganor excommunicated Phoenics, charging him with all sorts of crimes. Several clergy, led by Bishop Marcel of the Special Diocese of Seteniora in the Holy Land, expressed their strong concerns, revealing Phoenix's contribution to the faith, but they could not break the authority of the patriarch..
Meanwhile, the lords' reaction to the sentence of excommunication, which had been handed down for the first time in a long time, was not very enthusiastic..
An excommunication given to the Red Knight who inherited the reign of Prince Silver. It is clear who is behind it and what the hidden intention is..
As if to prove this, the new king of Milan, Zacharis, deprived the Red Knight of all his rights and declared that he would one day capture him and imprison him in the dungeon of Faralan Cathedral..
‘It was regrettable that he was seeking a knight for his 'beloved' half-brother, but the excuse that he had no choice but to fulfill his duty as a guardian of the church was a bonus..
Afterwards, the atmosphere in the kingdom was divided in half. One side responds passionately to the king's declaration, and the other side draws attention by posting only a wanted badge..
And no matter what the region was, the territory under the direct control of the King, including the capital, fell into the former category - as is obvious -.
In a situation like this, Ellen and Theodora, who had participated in many incidents with Phoenix, could not calmly enter the royal capital..
“Moreover, he asked the princess to stay by his side and held the princess's ankles saying that she wanted to convert to Qalandari... … . But we both wonder what this is now. I feel like I'm being eaten up to my heart's content..”
Ellen continued speaking with a disapproving look on her face. Theodora tried hard not to laugh at the sight of her light pink lips poking out..
“……Hmm. It's not like you just suffered a loss. The cult gained a faithful lord, and the palace gained a safe foothold..”
“That's not what I want to talk about now. It's about me - no, it's about the princess and me. Poi has a duty to treat both of us a little better..”
“Hehe, think so.?”
“of course! How precious am I?!”
The wizard clenched his fists and spewed out anger, but in the paladin's eyes, he just looked cute..
Looking at Jeong-in's pure look for attention, I couldn't help but wonder why she was given such sinister nicknames as 'the fire witch' and 'the pyromaniac on the carpet'..
Theodora was suddenly seized with a desire to hug this young and lovely woman tightly..
However, it was not put into practice in the end. It's because of memories of when I couldn't resist this urge a few months ago..
The wizard, who had been unknowingly caught in the arms of a paladin, left the room trembling with embarrassment, embarrassment, and a strong sense of deprivation. Theodora had to repeatedly apologize to Ellen for over a week after this..
“Hmm.”
Theodora, recalling the indecent behavior of the past, restrained herself with a light snort. It was around that time that Iopiya's observations ended..
