Chapter 537
My Villains Episode 537
68. To the capital(10)
“Of course, no matter how much you gain teacher status, you cannot move completely freely. The swordsman you must be concerned about is clearly a foreigner from the western part of the empire, and the Royal College is now a place more crowded with noble bloodlines than ever before..”
As if he understood my silence as an attitude of listening, the Marquis of Eabon continued his explanation in an excited tone..
“Still, if you hold on for a couple of months, the boundaries will soften, and some people will build friendships knowingly or unknowingly. Only then will Sir be given a chance. A chance to climb over the walls of the Convent of St. Thomas.”
I took a quick look at Sir Bran and Ogshlizo, but I couldn't find any signs of agitation..
Well, I guess they don’t know my purpose. The reason I inherited the Silver Prince Army was firstly to avenge Prince Ulkar, and secondly to rescue the imprisoned Princess Yuril. Even if the Marquis of Eavon had not separately spoken to the two messengers, there is no way he would have been unaware of the loud proclamation I had made..
“……Our Marquis, you are much more generous than I thought. Can you handle this??”
“why? Do you think I can't do it??”
“Even if the Marquis is one of the most powerful people in the kingdom, this is a violation of the royal family. I- I mean, if swordsman Ludo messes around in the royal capital and disappears, I'd have to take on quite a heavy responsibility..”
“why do i?”
“......yes?”
The fireball old man tilted his head calmly..
“Why am I taking responsibility? It was Count Jovian, not me, who introduced you to the president and student representatives of the Royal College..”
“No, but… … . Are you saying that the marquis’ hand stains were not burned at all??”
“It seems so in the eyes of the royal family and royal faction..”
“……What on earth did they do??”
Looking at you giggling, it looks like you have no intention of answering..
“I'm telling you this in advance to avoid misunderstandings, but it doesn't mean I'm not taking any risks. If Gyeong gets caught by Zacharis and starts talking about who Miju's real helper is, I'll be in trouble too..”
“Then there must be arrangements for that.?”
“Hehe, well… … . I don't have time to talk about such trivial things right now. 'Cause my wizards are starting to sweat.”
‘‘The Corvian Appearance’ is a truly miraculous spell that projects the shape and voice of a person over a distance of hundreds of kilometers..
Grinding rare magic ingredients was basic, and it was natural that assistance from skilled wizards was needed. The time it takes to maintain an order won't be very long..
“There's no way this kind of help is free. what do you want from me?”
Is it because the secret technique's maintenance time is short, or is it because there is no reason to pause? The Marquis of Eavon answered without the slightest hesitation..
“protect my grandchildren.”
“Grandchildren? Do you mean Os??”
“Who else could it be? There is only one descendant that I must protect even as I reach out to the Lord..”
I narrowed my eyes slightly..
“I heard that the Count of Orth is currently attending the Royal College..”
“yes. It was already the fall of the year before last when that guy was taken to the royal capital..”
For a moment, it seemed as if flames were rushing into the old man's eyes. Is it to be said that something like that has turned on the double wick?.
“……aha. So you're sending me to the Royal College? Guard Count Ost close at hand.?”
“Why does it seem like I'm losing money??”
As I quietly crossed my arms, he sneered..
“Just over a couple of walls from the Royal College is the Convent of St. Thomas. From Sir’s point of view, there is no such position. Besides, you can get help from university if you need it, right??”
“What help??”
“As you know very well, my grandson wasn't the only one taken there. Gawin, Aeneas, Euphria, and Banoin are in a similar situation..”
‘Gawin, the 'White of the Wild', remembers enduring the harsh water battles together as the lord of High Castle and the Highlands, and Aeneth, the 'Young Naga', supported the fleet and troops when they crossed the Bay of Blades..
In particular, the Milgrester family of Count Aeneas holds a certain amount of shares in Froshaven and the Eisbo Wald, and are maintaining deep exchanges to this day..
“Garwin and Aeneas aside, who are the other two??”
“You don't know? Have you never heard of it? Banoin is the son of Earl Coburn and the son-in-law of Lord Dale Cid. Euphria is the daughter of the de Lisir family. Freaks Byeon Kyeong-baek's nephew whom he loves more than his own son..”
After all, only the blades are tied together in the war?.
“After all, aren’t they all kids? What kind of help am I getting?.”
“Do Garwin and Aeneas seem like ordinary kids? They are the leaders of a long-established and powerful family, and the great lords who rule over a region. And, they were all grown up to the point where it felt awkward to call them kids. If you think about it, you're around the same age as Gyeongdo.?”
“Hey, not the same age..”
“My grandson is 19 years old this year. Aeneas was seventeen and Gawin was twenty. I'll be twenty-six at the most. That's about the same age..”
To be exact, Poynix is twenty-three years old..
However, it has already been 30 years since I lived as Kim Seung-su and 3 years as Kimpo Inix. To put it bluntly, I'm thirty-three..
But there was no need to reveal all these circumstances..
“That's it. The more people who know about a job, the more dangerous it becomes. Also, what help do I get from other guys when I don't even know their faces?.”
“Is the face a problem? If those guys have the shame, they should help too. How much do the provinces of Odenloch and Yangpast owe to Prince Ulkar?.”
“……Well, I’ll decide about that on my own, so don’t worry about it.” I wave my hands in a pretense of annoyance
While typing, I suddenly asked a question..
“however… … You want me to protect Count Ost? The Royal University is located in the middle of the royal capital, especially on the Avenue of Glory. But what and who are you asking me to protect from??”
“That's for the Lord to find out.”
“yes? What kind of nonsense is that? No, that's nonsense.?”
The old man made of white flames answered with a serious face..
“Recently... … No, ever since Zacharis sat on the throne, the mood in the royal capital has changed.
The spirit is unusual..”
“If it's unusual?”
“If you're asking for signs, there's no limit..”
Marquis Eavon glanced sideways and continued speaking quickly, perhaps examining the wizards who maintained their secret arts..
“On the Streets of Glory, a phenomenon that is unknown whether it is a curse, a spell, or a disease is becoming popular. The palace's archmage, Kelly Stell, who was supposed to be active in times like this, has been missing since the coronation, and the head of the palace, Count Antor, had his mansion collapse for no reason, killing not only himself but his entire family..”
“What is that... … . This is my first time hearing this..”
“I guess so. It's clear that something unusual is going on, but specific information is woefully lacking. The eyes and ears that were planted a long time ago are not paying off. It feels like the entire street of glory has been swallowed up by fog..”
“Is Os in a dangerous situation??”
“……I can't say for sure, but that's what this old man feels..”
Burning eyes stared down at me.
“I don't care what's going on in the royal capital. Os, just protect my grandchild. That's my request, anti-Japanese.”
“Wow... … . Are you paying such a high price even though there is no specific risk??”
“high prices? Hehehe.”
The Marquis snorted..
“Os is my successor. He is the only one who has proven his worth among the foolish sons and the grandsons who only believe in their lineage and are picky. A few handfuls of gold and a small amount of risk may seem expensive.?”
“……Well, if you think so..”
Since I could sense the Marquis' firm will, I decided not to find fault..
“I know very well that the Marquis is sincere. See you in Lianwell then..”
“That won't happen. “Lianwell is dangerous, and it’s even more dangerous for us to meet face to face.” “Then what should we do??”
“Come to Multingham.”
“Multingham? Multingham, Marva.?”
“okay. I will prepare people here to guide you..”
The Marquis of Eavon looked to the side again, clicked his tongue, and quickly finished speaking..
“‘Look for starlings at a tavern called ‘Blue Nest’. They will explain the weak points and lead you to the Royal College..”
“Anyway, there's no way to see it in person.?”
“Why, is it a pity??”
I slightly shrugged my shoulders..
“I was going to accept the offer you gave me last time if it was still valid..”
“proposal?”
He looked puzzled for a moment, then burst into laughter as if he realized what I was talking about..
“Hahaha, what else can I say! It's already gone! It's too late, sir!”
Ellen, who was next to me, looked like ‘What are you talking about?’, but I just nodded calmly..
“Well then, whatever. It's a shame.
“Because we are in a situation where we are short on troops.” “Hehe, you understand after gaining territory, right? How generous was my offer back then?.”
“yes. I'm regretting hitting the ground.”
When I think about it again, it's really a shame. I could have gotten 1,500 elite soldiers by just closing my eyes and having sex a few times, so why on earth did I turn down that offer?.
“If you ever get a chance, I'll definitely introduce you. It's not uncommon for you to be an old man who reveres like me..”
“I'm looking forward to it.”
“That's right.”
When I took a savory meal, the Marquis laughed cheerfully..
“Goodbye! In the name of the bright Lord, I wish you a happy voyage!”

Immediately after the Marquis gave a nice bow, a small white fireball exploded..
