Chapter 517
My Villains Episode 517
67. Lord of Icebovald(10)
“……Hehehe.”
Iopiya let out a long sigh and gathered her spiritual power. Then, he flicked his finger at Egon, and the dark silver airflow that had wrapped around the boy's head also dispersed like a mirage..
“That dirt,”
The boy, whose entire body had been stiffened like a log, groaned and struggled, but could not open his eyes. It would take some time to get over the shock of having my soul and body separated, even if just for a moment..
“How are you? What did you see??”
“Uh, um.”
Ellen asked as if urging him to do so. IOPYA gathered her thoughts, shaking her chest from the exhilaration..
“I saw a trace.”
“evidence? what trace?”
“Hardships, journeys, memories of the distant past... … . It remains clearly in Egon’s soul. The sense of heterogeneity that Poynix felt was ultimately caused by those traces..”
At first glance, it seemed like something out of the blue, but Ellen understood the context without much difficulty..
“then… … . The traces of this race remain in this hillbilly's soul, and they are so vivid that they have even affected his body.?”
“It’s similar… … . “I don’t know whether the soul affected the body or the body affected the soul.” “It’s okay to have a post-war relationship. So what is this guy??”
“In the end, it's just a guess... … . I think it would be quicker to talk to Poi Nix. Isn’t it about time you came??”
“I know.”
Ellen expressed her agreement with a small nod and cleared her throat to call the servant outside the parlor. As she was about to shout, Theodora, who was sitting next to her, stopped her by covering the back of her hand..
“That won't happen.”
“yes?”
““He’s coming now.” The next moment, Ellen and Iopiya turned their heads in the direction from which they heard the faint sound of the wind. Hearing the sound of the glass window shaking followed by the familiar sound of laughter, Ellen narrowed her eyes and stretched out her hand..
red.'
The ‘spirits of dance’ hovering beneath the sleeves take flight in response to the will of their owner. The thick velvet curtain splits left and right as if torn..
Beyond the transparent glass, a pair of men and women stood with their feet barely touching the window frame, their backs turned to the dusky cityscape..
“Haha! This is really a joke Adin-uh?”
A swordsman with sharp eyes full of annoyance, and a man holding her tightly around her slender waist..
The man was none other than Phoenix. The owner of Depelken Baekryeong, who was laughing excitedly, looked back inside the window with a stupid face when the curtain was pulled back..
Surprised, Iopiya shouted 'Athma!' Theodora shouted and covered her mouth, and with a bitter smile on her face, Theodora got up from the sofa and unlatched the window. Ellen looked back and forth between Phoenix and the 'Valkyrie' Tiloria in his arms with cold eyes..
“……What are you doing??”
“uh? ah. I'm in a bit of trouble. I don't want to go up to the 7th floor - oops. Thank you, princess..”
When Theodora opened the window, Phoenix smiled cheerfully and got down from the window sill. Ellen's blue eyes were fixed on the swordsman wearing the 'crown of wings' until he hung the dark blue coat that was loosely draped over his shoulders on a perch next to the fireplace..
“That bitch is not allowed in here. I should have spoken clearly..”
“I didn't go in or out.”
Tiloria, who had a sullen expression on her face, glanced at her feet..
“I can't see clearly.”
“……Something like this Sagal.”
‘As if there was nothing more to hear, the young meister of the 'Sel-seed' type lightly kicked the window frame and threw himself backwards. A graceful somersault. Dressed in thin, light silver scale armor, it looks like a crane flapping its wings..
Phoenix waved his hand innocently at Tiloria, who was gliding down on the banner of the Lord's Hall..
“thank you! Thanks to you, I came comfortably today too n
“Be quiet, you idiot! Hey, you! I'm not finished talking yet!”
At the sight of Tilloria flying away without looking back, a spark flew into Ellen's eyes as she shouted..
“Oh, that's cheeky-”
Ugh!
Mana swirled around her. Even without saying a single spell, a long ice spear appeared in his left hand, and a fireball the size of his head appeared in his right hand..
“Wow! Hey, stop!”
“Oh my, Miss Ellen.!”
Thanks to Phoenix and Theodora quickly grabbing arms from the left and right, they were able to avoid the disaster of 'Frost Pod' and 'Fireball' crashing down in the middle of the city. While the wizard was struggling with his legs being held by the paladins and blood knights, Valkyrie melted into the crowded cityscape..
““I told you not to let that thing into the tower!” “Oh, I’m sorry, I’m sorry. I thought it would be okay if I came in through the window..”
“are you kidding me?”
“What a joke. I said I was sorry?”
Poynix approached, dragging his slippers and brushed off his golden hair with a smile on his face. Ellen fiercely swatted away the hand, but Phoenix paid her no mind and lightly pulled the back of her head. Ellen, who was grinning angrily, seemed to be speechless for a moment and closed her mouth..
“How do you feel, princess? did you find out something?”
Theodora seemed not to have heard the question. Looking at the small head that was quietly buried in Phoenix's solar plexus, she held the hem of her dress tightly..
“……so cute……
“yes‘?”
“Yes, ah, um- no, think about something else for a moment. What did you say??”
“That guy.”
Phoenix gestured at Egon, who was sprawled out on one side..
“ah. It doesn't seem like there are any other traits that have manifested themselves. It doesn't seem to be related to another dimension or divinity... … . I guessed that Ms. Ellen was a descendant of a troll based on her appearance..”
Theodora, who had been picking up words in a daze, soon regained her composure and looked back at Iopiya..
“Miss Iopiya was about to call Lord Poynix because she had found out something..”
“Ah, yes?”
As the gaze gathered, the shaman explained what he had observed..
“I saw a fairy.”
“fairy?”
“To be exact, they were fairies. Fairies on the shores of large lakes, in burning forests, deep in the mountains, and in dark caves.……
“That guy's ancestors were fairies who lived in that place.?”
“I can't say for sure because it's a fragmented memory. However, it looked exactly like the black fairy from the story..”
“black fairy?”
“yes. Elongated ears, dark skin,……
Phoenix looked back at Egon with interest..
“Descendants of dark elves. Now that I think about it, it seems a bit black.……
“The black fairy's skin is not black. It's dark gray..”
“Then he?”
“uh… … Maybe it's just a sunburn? Perhaps the trait was not expressed. Or, you may not have inherited any external traits at all.……
“Do it. Just by looking at the bones, they are far from the beautiful cloud giants in mythology. I would have rather believed that he was a descendant of the Minotaur..”
“……Poynix, you can’t say things like that..”
The young lord chuckled at the young shaman's beating and sat down on the sofa. Ellen took the seat next to him as if it was natural..
“Anyway, it's a black fairy.……
Phonyx recalled a story that the monk Okan once told him..
-…… Among the traits of a black fairy, the ones that rank high and are superficial are things like dark skin, beautiful appearance, light bones, and thin, flexible muscles. An evil spirit, high intelligence, and exceptional magical talent are low-ranking, deep traits.…….
The special feature that Phoenix noticed in Egon was the appearance of the muscles, or more precisely, the blood vessels flowing into them. As a blood magician, I could sense that the shape was quite strange, so I was certain that the boy was not an ordinary human..
“Hmm.”
The next thing that came to mind were the black fairies of the underground. These are the black fairy elites who are excellent assassins and at the same time use annoying curses and deadly attack magic..
Of course, even if Egon developed various traits, it would not be easy to raise his combat power to that level. But even taking that into account, Poynix decided that the boy would be worth it..
‘The most common race underground is the dark elves. It must be useful somewhere.’
“Ellen, what do you think??”
“what.”
“They say they are descendants of the black fairy. How about teaching magic??”
“Magic? I?”
“uh.”
Ellen caught a glimpse of Egon, who had fainted with a sad look on his face..
“Just by looking at him, he looks like an idiot and can't read, so teach him things like that.?”
“You never know. Your traits may bloom and you may gain great talent. I'm not looking forward to it?”
“at all.”
She shook her head resolutely..
“Even if they were real black fairies, they would be less talented than the children recruited to La-Palais Palace. If you're a descendant of a black fairy, there's nothing special about it..
“still. You never know.”
When Phoenix asked repeatedly, Ellen said in a cold voice:.
“I'm busy, you son of a bitch..”
“uh?”
“‘uh?' Sounds the same. I'm busy because you've been pampering me so much! Do you want to watch the training of battle mages? Develop potion recipes to hand over to the alchemy guild? Do you need to refine the damn salt? I don't even have time to blink. What? What to do?”
“Ugh. no, i made a mistake-”
Phoenix had to sweat once again to comfort Ellen, who was having another seizure..
After a short discussion, Phoenix decided to take Egon as his seed..
Although Gollman is already in that role, he has been involved in various matters since the combat brigade was first established, and even now, when military affairs become busy, he is often sold from battalion to battalion..
Therefore, it would not be a bad idea to bring in a new member to assist only Goal, who is often absent. Phoenix decided to observe Egon by his side and teach him magic by asking Master Epoz..
Of course, Egon would have to be persuaded after he came to his senses, but Phoenix wasn't too worried about that. Isn’t this the guy who tried to stay in the city to enlist in the first place? It seemed unlikely that he would turn down the promised riches and glory..
“Still, since we are descendants of dark elves, it would be a shame to only teach magic.?”
He glanced around the living room and called softly, ‘Hey, hey,’ and a large shadow fluttered in the corner where the candle light couldn’t reach..
With Iopia's small screams and Theodora's short breathing as the background, a human spirit slowly appeared. It was a woman wearing tight black full-body armor and a white mask with a mane..
“Lannon！”
“eww ”
Ellen, who was so shocked that she jumped up from the sofa and screamed loudly, Lannon brushed his mask up from his forehead and frowned..
“Don't yell. my ears hurt.”
“How long have you been hiding there??”
“From earlier.”
“Earlier, when!”
“You don't need to know.”
“hey!”
After the usual uproar had died down, Poynyx pointed to Egon, who was still unconscious..
“As you may have heard, this guy is a descendant of the black fairy. Black fairies are a race famous for being excellent assassins, so wouldn't they be useful if taught??”
“ o Ugh......”
—— O •
Lannon tilted his head for a moment and spoke in an unconvinced tone..
I'll take you to Akshan'. Kshan is better at this than me..”
“good. Then please.”
Iopiya followed behind Lannon, who was dragging Egon by his ankles. Since he was the one who knocked the boy unconscious, it would be a relief to see him wake up..
Ellen apologized to Theodora, who remained in the drawing room..
“I received a letter during the day, and I think I should discuss it with Foy..”
“Well, sure. I was also desperate to take a bath, so please excuse me..”
The story Ellen told in the living room alone was something that Phoenix had never expected..
“……Nashal is gone?”
Nashal Anway. One of the seven grandmasters of the Palace of La-Palais, a mysterious woman who always wears a veil under her eyes..
She was staying in the royal capital with several disciples and investigating the strange events that occurred at the Dawn Council. Knowing this well, Phoenix straightened his face..
“What happened? Are you saying that you are living in seclusion with the cooperation of other wizards? Did you get caught by Zacharis??”
“Nashal is not such a shabby woman. Even if I got caught, there's no way I would lose contact for a month..”
“…… okay. Even that bastard wouldn't be stupid enough to just kill the Landmaster. At most, it would be deportation. Or you can hold him back and try to appease him.” Grandmaster Nashal is an old monster whose age is unknown. Not only is she powerful in magic, but she is also a woman with all kinds of tricks and improvisation. It means that there is no way you can be trapped in an ordinary dungeon, but even if you are, you have a lot of ability to keep in touch..
If there was no contact from Nashal for a month, there must have been a serious problem with her identity..
“What about Aktufir? What did that guy say??”
“I'm lost. It had to be that way since all the disciples I sent with me lost contact with me all at once... … . The grandmasters remaining in the palace are no different..”
“He didn't say he had a collaborator in the palace.?”
“Nashal is the only one who knows who it is. Because it was the line she made in the first place. At most, all I knew was the location used as a hideout, the circumstances of the investigation, and a rough plan..”
“shit… … . First, I will send a letter to the Cathedral of Mattiariot..”
“To Ian-Baptiste? well. Can I use my energy for work outside of the church? It would be difficult for even a bishop to understand what is going on between wizards..”
“It's better than nothing.”
Ellen sighed softly and wiped her face..
“I think I should take the royal road.”
“It's too dangerous now.”
“‘Starting with ‘Midesma’, four delegates of the eight-member association have gone missing. And now even the grandmaster of the palace. There must be something serious going on in the royal capital..”
“Yeah, I know. But the problem isn't just between wizards. How do I get in there when Zacharis is ready to take my hand? Not now. I'm also looking for my own way, so let's wait a little bit..”
Ellen bit her lip..
“The palace will want me to come forward..”
“in the palace?”
“We plan to secretly send an investigation team to the royal capital soon. Aktufir will of course be included, and there may be two more grandmasters from Tirin Mel..”
“Isn't that enough? And, you wouldn’t even be able to set foot in the royal capital in the first place..”
“Grandpa Olnar doesn't seem to think so. Because the one that Zacharis is hostile to is me as a fellow excommunicator and a ‘fire witch’..”
“then.”
“They think there will be no problem if they disguise themselves as ordinary disciples. Since you are the High Master of the palace, you should step up and use your power..”
She nodded slowly..
“I agree too.”
“Ellen.”
“Actually, at this point, it doesn't matter what the High Master is or what the palace is like. What I'm worried about is what's happening in the royal capital right now.……
“I have a bad feeling. I have a feeling that something terrible is going to happen.”
Phoenix quietly hugged her..
“……Let’s think about it a little more. 'Cause there's still time.”
“Is there time??”
“First, listen more to the grandmasters’ opinions. I will prepare in my own way.”
There was silence for a moment. Ellen, who had been leaning in Phoenix's arms and adjusting her red silk gown for a while, suddenly raised her head as if she was angry..
“I feel like my head is going to explode with all this worry, while you're stuck with that bat bitch.?”
“……They're sticking together. What did I do with Tilly?.”
“Till-Lee?”
“No, I mean, Tilloria..”
A cold seeps into his blue eyes. Poynix swallowed dryly and continued to make excuses..
“As you know, it is rare for those under me to have formal training in martial arts. At best, there are guys like Fritz, Kern Whir, Dervish, and Merg, but Fritz is the only one who did anything to improve knight training..”
“so?”
“I really want to run it myself, but I'm so busy. I have no choice but to get help from experts. Well, Tilloria - there's nothing else to say, because you're an expert and an orthodox person.……
“Hey. Are you giving me lots of compliments? I guess this is very good.”
“No, that's not it, there's a reason to appease him... … Anyway, that's not what you're misunderstanding..”
“What am I misunderstanding??”
When the conversation didn't go as planned, Poynix scratched his eyebrows. And then I sighed deeply and opened my mouth..
“‘I'll let you do that.”
“……What are you talking about?.”
“‘You know that.”
Ellen pursed her lips silently at Phoenix's sudden words..
“What? What are you talking about??”
“Don't pretend you don't know. There's a reason you're frowning like this.”
“Who is whining?,”
A moment of meaningless tug-of-war. Poynix picked Ellen up and headed to the bedroom across the hallway, next to the living room..
As they passed through the dark hallway without turning on the light, the two were kissing frantically..
The bedroom was surprisingly not very big. A cozy room with dark colored cheesecloth as wallpaper and one wall filled with several handmade wardrobes..
Poynix, holding Ellen in his arms, hurried past a table littered with books and parchment scrolls. His destination was a larger bed placed under a large window..
The moment Phoenix sat down on the bed, Ellen summoned the spirits of dance and pushed him hard. The strong but delicate wind tore apart the silk gown and gold thread vest. Blue eyes swept over the magnificent body full of muscles..
“Really, you can do it.?”
In response to the breathless question, Poynix nodded with a somewhat nervous look..
Heat welled up in my transparent, white face. The heat leaked out between slightly trembling light pink lips..
“Well, I don't know..”
Ellen, sitting on Phoenix's floor, created flames in both hands..
profit!
“Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu-”
A small hand touched a broad, firm chest. As her skin burned with an acrid smell, Phoenix gritted her teeth..
A sweaty forehead, a distorted bridge of the nose, a bulging jawbone, and tense muscles. Blue eyes gradually lost focus.
“……It's hot?”
When Phoenix didn't respond, Ellen slowly removed her hand..
tsutsu tsu.
The skin that was sore and red was healing quickly. It took less than 10 seconds for the overflowing life force to return the body to its original state..
Seeing that scene, Ellen felt a sense of relief that could not be explained in words. Indeed, he was her perfect match..
I realized this when I first held hands with him. I confirmed this again when I was revived by his blood, when I was first held in his arms, when I first accepted him, and when I first left him..
profit!
A burning palm was once again placed on my cleanly healed chest..
Phoenix gritted his teeth again, and Ellen's shoulders trembled in ecstasy that felt like her brain was burning..
The fire brand healed a second time. She hastily threw away her colorful robes and thick, long tunic. The shirt wasn't even touched..
She readjusted her posture and sat down, carving the third brand. The cozy bedroom was filled with heat, gasps, and screams..
As always, the pain didn't last long. It was fortunate for Phoenix..
