The Academy's Barbarian-Chapter 153
(6)
11.
Perticia's escort knight.
Rimmer Jenn Lapidis frowned as he left the restaurant..
“……No matter how you look at it, it's award-winning.”
“yes? What do you mean?”
“just that savage.”
The strongman who defeated two of the five swords of the empire.
Ulan Bator. Thinking of a monster with an absurdly large area, she revealed why Ulan was suspicious..
“We ran into each other twice before, did we meet again like this this time??”
two months ago.
Perticia left the imperial castle and came to the capital to prepare for admission to the academy..
And even then I met Ulan.
Once at a restaurant and another time at a night market. But I hope we will meet again this time. Rimmer muttered with a stiff face..
“Could it be that you deliberately followed the princess?…….”
“yea, that's not it.”
On the other hand, Perticia denied it all at once..
As if it could never be.
“In the first place, this time it was I, not Ulan, who spoke first.?”
I heard and saw it.
Ulan was just standing at the entrance of the restaurant to eat with the party..
Rimmer closed his mouth..
But even for a moment, as she recalled the time, she suddenly found a question..
“Then how did you know?”
“huh? What?”
“That there was a barbarian in the hotel..”
Before Pertisia spoke to Ulan.
She walked down the main street and headed for a hotel building with a restaurant. Upon receiving her question, Pertisha shrugged her shoulders and replied.
“Because that's what it looked like.”
“yes? but…….”
Rimmer was speechless..
I deserved it.
Because when I saw it from the place I was walking earlier, the restaurant was surrounded by an outer wall..
‘That is, the inside of the building is not visible..’
It would be a different story if she had clairvoyance, but Perticia doesn't have that ability..
At that time, did he realize the doubt Rimmer had? Pertisia, who had been walking silently, added an explanation with a smile..
“I have good eyesight..”
This is a fact even Rimer knows..
Because she communicates with the spirits, she has much better eyesight and hearing than normal people..
Still, at best, they have better eyesight and hearing than the average person. Not enough to perceive the existence of uhlans beyond the thick outer walls..
‘But how…….’
Uhlan's existence was accurately identified?
Rimmer tilted his head at the unanswered question. But there was one thing she didn't know..
It was that Perticia's eyesight and hearing far exceeded her guess..
“Whoa.”
Immediately after exhaling a short breath.
Various whispers tickled my ears..
Moving on, when I closed my eyelids, all the scenery around me flowed like a river. It is a phenomenon that occurs naturally while sharing the senses with the spirits..
Through this, Perticia was able to see with her eyes and hear with her ears all the scenery that exists within a radius of 1 km from where she is now..
some time after that.
She took the desired scenery into her eyes..
Ulan and Noah have just left the restaurant and head towards the eastern gate. Staring at the back of the two, she put on a puzzled expression..
‘……I'm disappointed.’
only two months.
How can a woman change in such a short amount of time?.
I remember being a different girl last time. Recalling her old memories, she pouted her lips in a feeling of disgust for some reason..
‘Still, it's still too early to conclude..’
What you see with your eyes is not the truth.
You can know the true nature of the object only when you talk to it directly and observe it from a close distance..
This is a fact that I realized from the time I grew up.
Pertishia blinked..
saaaa!
The wind blew, and the world changed before my eyes..
Afterwards, the scenery returned to normal, and she moved on with Rimmer..
The reason she came to the capital today is to find something she couldn't find last time. So, as she moved toward her destination.
Suddenly, Pertisia stopped in place..
“princess?”
Rimmer asked curiously..
But no answer came back. Instead, Pertisia fixed her eyes on one spot. In response, Rimer also stared at it..
“that…….”
luxurious black carriage.
After seeing the pattern engraved on the side door, Rimer figured out who the owner of the carriage was..
“It's the carriage of the Earl of Dermore..”
“If the Dermore family……?”
“A family famous for producing capable wizards for generations. It is also a family that recently joined the lord's command..”
As information about the Count of Dermore began to trickle out, Perticia's gaze was fixed on the blonde girl close to him..
A girl who looks a bit thin for some reason.
Perticia, who had been watching the girl with eyes as black as the night sky, gave a short exclamation..
“There are many strange things outside the castle..”
“yes? what are you saying all of a sudden…….”
“I never thought I'd be alive in that state.”
Eyes that sparkle as if looking at a mysterious creature.
But even that was short-lived, and Perticia quickly gained interest. She then looked at Lee Mer, who tilted her head, and she grinned..
“it's nothing. let's move.”
“oh yeah I will serve you.”
Rimmer, who responded politely, followed..
So the two moved on. It was to head to the shopping district, the destination of the day..
12.
Meanwhile at that time.
The blonde girl whom Perticia had been eyeing, exclaimed in admiration with her eyes wide open..
“W, this is really the southern plaza.?!”
“That's right, Yurpe..”
The middle-aged man who stood by her side.
Count Dermore nodded..
He smiled comfortably as he looked at the girl who looked around him curiously..
Yurpe Dermore.
She is the daughter of Count Dermore, who was revived by the power of the abyss not long ago..
Right after he was revived, he slept all the time, but his body has improved a lot over the past few days, so he went on an outing together like this today..
how long has it been like that?
Yurpe's face suddenly turned dark as he looked around..
“Phew, now I can feel it.”
After letting out a short sigh.
muttered she admitted.
“I've been asleep for three years.”
When I first heard of this.
She couldn't believe the Count's words..
It was natural. I slept for a while and woke up, but when I heard that 3 years had passed, I had no choice but to panic..
However, when I came out to the capital and saw the changed streets, I realized it clearly..
It's really been 3 years.
Will time pass in the blink of an eye??
For some reason, feeling empty, Yurpé put on a melancholy expression. Then the count took her hand.
“It's okay, Yurp..”
“father…….”
“3Years have passed and it has not changed the fact that you are my daughter. So you can live your life doing whatever you want to do..”
Because this father will help with anything.
The Count whispered with a serious face. Perhaps feeling his sincerity, Yurpe smiled brightly..
“yes thank you father.”
With a bright smile at the end.
She looked down the street again. Around the time she was looking at Yu Lefe with such a happy face.
Good food! food duck!
A dove in the square suddenly flew in and landed on the roof of the carriage. It wasn't a big deal so far, but soon something amazing happened..
“Greetings to the Apostle of the Abyss.”
What came out of the beak was a clear human voice. It was a profound voice that was presumed to be of the same age as the count..
“The subjugation party has arrived at their destination.”
“If you have already arrived, is it the Duchy of Arpen??”
“That's right. There's a distance to the eastern jungle, it's going to take a little longer that way..”
Even after seeing the talking pigeon, the Count naturally continued the conversation. After receiving the report, the count immediately nodded..
“i get it. tell the owner.”
“Yes, I'll wait for your order.”
Polite tone at last.
The pigeon fluttered and flew away..
Then they joined the other group and amicably pecked at the food on the floor. Like an ordinary dove without fail.
Meanwhile, right after receiving an unexpected report.
The Count placed his hand on his left chest..
“……master.”
A word spilled from my lips.
he spoke in awe.
“It is said that the worshipers dispatched to the Principality of Arpen have arrived at their destination..”
Shortly after the short report.
Along with a slight headache, an unknown voice shook the count's mind..
【the size of the worshipers?】
Lacus Klamanduratus.
Howling Eye of the Abyss.
He is the lord of the abyss who made him an apostle in return for reviving Yurpe Dermore. The Count continued his speech in a polite manner..
“A total of thirty-three. Thirty elite cultists and three custodians, two custodians are mages, and one is an expert-class swordsman..”
While reporting in detail.
The count recalled what had happened..
‘Yurpe is revived…….’
A group of wizards came to the mansion.
Abyssal Worshipers.
As soon as they saw the seal engraved on the Count's chest, they prostrated themselves on the floor and worshiped..
「Meet the Apostle of the Great Abyss.」
Worshipers repeatedly bow to the count.
Some worshipers even shed tears with jubilant faces. So Count Dermore came to have a vast Abyss cult under his command..
Soon after, Lacus' instructions followed..
Select the most talented among the Abyssal Worshipers and divide them into two units..
After that, it was to dispatch each unit to the Principality of Arpen and the great jungle of the eastern part of the continent..
‘have only one purpose.’
To completely obliterate the 'removal target' of each destination. The Count delivered all of Lacus's instructions to the Abyss Worshipers..
The only one who could hear Lacus' voice was his apostle, Count Dermore..
‘and…….’
I just received a report from an Abyssal Worshiper who borrowed the body of a dove. The Count, who recalled this far, licked his lips again..
“great master. With all due respect, there is something I would like to ask you..”
As soon as his question is over.
My head rang once again.
【I will allow it. Apostle of Jim.】
【what are you curious about?】
“Even if that is the case with the Principality of Arpen, I don't understand why the Eastern Jungle is eliminated..”
【what does that mean?】
“The opponent is an insignificant sub-species. Even if you hire an assassination squad rather than worshippers, you should be able to kill them easily..”
Lacus ordered two targets to be eliminated..
One of them was a celebrity who was a member of the royal family of the Principality of Arpen and had heard rumors about it. So I can guess why you want to remove it..
‘On the other hand, the second object to be removed is…….’
It was the first name I heard in my life..
It would be natural. Because he was a mere mercenary based in the eastern jungle. They are not even human, they are a despised sub-species.
That's why I wondered if it was necessary to mobilize the Abyssal Worshipers and get rid of them. Killing a chicken was like using a knife to kill a cow..
【It's an insignificant child.】
【You're not wrong.】
Meanwhile, after the Count's question is over,.
Lacus burst into laughter..
【let me tell you one thing.】
【The insignificant sub-species you said―.】
【later turns into a nuisance.】
At those words, the count opened his eyes wide..
It was because Lacus mentioned the word 'threat' for the first time..
【Sven Isaac.】
second thing to remove.
Lacus uttered his name in a voice mixed with bitter hatred..
【He hunted thousands of monsters later.】
【A hunter who threatens the abyss.】
【It is right to cut the buds.】
【above all for sure.】
the count grabbed his head.
It was because the more Lacus' voice continued, the stronger the headache came. As he let out his low groan, Lacus continued talking..
【The same reason for the Principality of Arpen.】
【being loved by mana.】
【Star Witch, Dillia Arpen.】
【She should definitely be excluded too.】
After a long talk.
Lacus closed his mouth for a moment..
As the Count's face, crumpled with pain, returned to normal, he heard whispers again..
【Two of the six darkness are gone.】
【On the other hand, the star that will light up the abyss is alive and well.】
【Since the eighth star has appeared.】
At the end of a meaningful murmur.
Lacus spoke the last words..
【So, apostle of burdens.】
【Turn off the starlight according to the revelation.】
【only that―.】
【The abyss will be the path to victory.】
The count bowed his head in silence..
as if to obey his orders.
After a while, after watching, Yurpe returned to the carriage. Her father and daughter got into the carriage amicably, and she soon headed for her mansion..
Soon after, the carriage departed, and the pigeons gathered in the plaza flew away with flapping of their wings..
But not all flew.
Only one. The dove that had been sitting in the carriage and talking to the Count had suddenly turned into a cold corpse and was rolling around on the floor..
Kwajik! Wooddeuk!
The pigeons trampled and crushed by the wheels of the wagon turned into red marks. So the pigeon's corpse quickly disappeared from the world..
without anyone's attention.
13.
and that night.
Ulan and Noah arrived at the carriage stop only after the sun had completely set. It was to board the carriage back to Arsene Academy..
“Phew, how did you end it?.”
Noah breathes a sigh of relief.
The two of them wandered around the capital from morning to evening, engrossed in their search..
and the result.
Noah obtained all the remaining 15 hidden pieces, and also obtained most of the materials needed for the cure..
“The remaining ingredients are herbs that can be obtained at the academy, so go back and find them..”
“well, don't do that.”
Ulan's answer at the end.
Noah shrugged his shoulders slightly..
Is it because of the relief that everything to do in the capital is over? Letting out her short moan, she stretched her face with a frown..
“Ugh, about 10 minutes left..”
The last carriage to Arsene Academy leaves at 8:00 PM. If I missed this, I would have to stay out again..
‘Of course, it doesn't matter.’
You can use the seal of the Marquis of Gorfant..
I also thought it would be nice to stay in the capital for a day or so. I couldn't rest properly because I was looking for hidden peace for two days..
‘and…….’
I wish I was with Ulan a little more..
Noah's cheeks turned a little red when he remembered what happened last night. But it wasn't just her cheeks that turned red..
“Noah.”
Ulan, the first to speak.
he said with a serious face.
“what is that?”
“huh? which one?”
“your chest turned red.”
what does that mean?
Noah tilted his head at the unknown answer and looked at the direction Ulan pointed..
and opened my eyes wide.
“……uh?”
really blushing breasts.
To be precise, the inside pockets in my arms turned red..
no, what is this?
Just as Noah was perplexed, something happened that further perplexed her. Suddenly, smoke rose and caught a bright red fire..
“……!”
sudden change.
Noah cried out in surprise..
“Boo, fire! fire! wealth…….”
However, the surprised cry did not last long..
The moment the fire was about to spread to another place.
snap!
It was because Ulan's huge hand completely covered the ignition point. Soon the embers were gone, and Ulan said as if to reassure him..
“It's fine now. I turned it off.”
“…….”
On the other hand, Noah's reaction was subtle..
Covering her chest with both hands, she glanced at Ulan with a somewhat sullen face..
“It looks like nothing happened.”
“because nothing happened.”
The only damage is a little bit of tanning on the clothes.
You were right in saying that nothing happened.
On the other hand, Noah shook his head. Like she didn't ask for it. Then she asked, sticking her chest out at once..
“uh how was it?”
“what?”
“I also have some surprises?”
“Do you have?”
“You have to tell me to understand?!”
“I don't know if I don't tell you.”
Oh really! I'm dying of frustration.
Noah pounded his chest. Ulan, meanwhile, turned his attention to other areas..
“Rather, why did the fire suddenly break out? Was there anything in your inside pocket that could catch fire??”
“no. just amulets…….”
The moment I answered by shaking my head.
Noah's eyes widened. Right after I spit out the word talisman, there was something that came to my mind.
She rummaged through her arms with a puzzled face, and soon found the half-burnt amulet..
“this, this!”
The identity of the talisman is a self-defense).
It was originally a pair of amulets that were given to Dillia when she returned to the principality..
However, the effect was completely different..
Because Noah's talisman had the effect of turning to ashes to indicate when the other talisman was used..
‘That is, it burned…….’
It means that Dillia used the talisman, which could be interpreted as a problem with her safety..
When I realized this.
More shocking news came..
