The Academy's Barbarian-Chapter 178
(2)
2.
After all the sparring.
Right before leaving the academy, Rimmer had a conversation with Perticia..
I couldn't hear what he was saying, but it was good. Because she wasn't really curious.
However, when the story seemed to be getting longer, Noah said with an awkward smile..
“Uh, shall we go first?”
“that would be nice.”
Ulan responds as if he's been waiting.
Soon it was time for the dining room door to open, so he turned around with an unwilling look on his face..
On the way to the restaurant, leaving the two of them behind, Evela suddenly opened her eyes wide..
“oh!”
like you found someone.
Where her gaze was directed, there was a girl with gray hair. A girl wearing large glasses, walking quickly to the library.
‘Sirpi Rudric.’
Descendants of Kazan Rudric.
It is clear that he has something to do with Abyss. When Noah saw this and narrowed her eyes, Bella's voice suddenly followed..
“I'm sorry, but could you wait here for a while??”
“uh? why?”
“I have something to tell Sylphy..”
Ibela pulled something out of her bosom..
A letter with the seal of the Deorg family.
Ulan nodded..
“I get it. don't wait.”
“huh! I'll be right back.”
Ibella running towards Sirpy.
Dillia, who looked at this blankly, pulled Ulan's arm with a look that she had seized the opportunity..
“Let's go quickly in this gap.”
“no, wait.”
“……Chet.”
It was a chance to get rid of Ibella..
Dillia clicked her tongue. Around the time I quietly waited for Ibella to return.
saaaaa!
Suddenly, a light fog rolled in..
And only around Ulan's party. It's a serious phenomenon, but no one panicked..
I had to guess.
[Grrrrr!]
After a while, a familiar sound was heard.
It's a wolf's howl.
Soon after, a pure white wolf emerged from Ulan's shadow. It was Rudric's family, the White Rang of Mimu..
“Do I have any business?”
[purr!]
The white man bowed his head lightly..
as if you got it right.
Then, he opened his mouth and began to let out an unknown sound..
[purr! I'm sorry! Garreung!]
Baekrang swings its front paws and makes a sound.
Ulan tilted his face suspiciously at the sudden, unknown action..
“what?”
“I see there's something I want to say?”
Noah's guess was correct.
As soon as her words were finished, Baekrang nodded his head enthusiastically. After that, the guy swung her front paws again and roared with enthusiasm..
some time after that.
“well, that's right.”
Ulan nodded seriously..
Seeing this, Baekrang looked at him with eyes full of anticipation. With eyes that believe you would have understood.
But hopes were quickly dashed.
“I have no idea what you're talking about.”
“Well, it's strange to hear.”
That's right.
Noah let out a deep sigh..
but it's not at all impossible.
In the original work, there were also named characters who could understand the words of animals, phantom beasts, and spiritual creatures and communicate with them..
‘For example…….’
What immediately comes to mind is Sven Isaac.
The sniper of the hero's party and a cat person, he has a high affinity for animals, phantom beasts, and spirits, allowing for simple communication..
‘oh, that's right!’
then.
another candidate came up.
‘sure i remember…….’
There was another warrior with similar abilities..
By the time I remembered this.
Baekrang frowned and hit the ground with his forepaw. As if he were complaining why he couldn't understand me.
That was then.
“ok, that's right.”
A clear voice that came out of nowhere.
There, Perticia, who had approached at some point, was squatting and stroking Baekrang..
“I'm sorry but can you say it again? I'll tell you properly this time.”
she smiles and speaks.
These were never empty words.
In fact, Perticia can freely communicate with spiritual creatures and phantom beasts..
Ulan also looked at Perticia with his mouth closed as if he had remembered this belatedly. Conversely, Dillia had a surprised expression, but.
“I hope you understand what I mean?”
“yes i understand.”
“what are you talking about?”
“well, so…….”
After finishing her thoughts, Pertisia summarized Baekrang's words and delivered them..
“They say the gap is open.?”
“……what?”
short but intense.
Ulan and Noah, as well as Ibella, who joined after finishing her business, were surprised..
“T, no way if it’s a gap……!”
“Yes, they say the gap in the abyss has opened..”
“……!?”
Everyone's faces hardened at the reply that came back like a wedge. I had already been through it a few times, so I understood the seriousness of the situation..
“when? Come on, maybe now?”
“no. A few days ago, when you weren't here, it opened briefly and then closed..”
A detailed story soon followed..
According to Baekrang, someone entered District 3 and opened a gap while Ulan and his party were away during vacation..
After the explanation of all the details.
A shadow fell on Noah's face.
“ok, this is unexpected.”
I really hadn't even thought about it. I'm sure there were other Abyss worshipers besides Deflin..
“Do you know who opened it?”
“Guessing from the smell, it was one of the imperial investigation parties that came to investigate the fountain in the past..”
“It's called the Imperial Survey Corps?”
“Uh, what does he look like?!”
Noah hurriedly asked.
However, the desired answer was not returned. It was because the whole body was covered with a robe, so I couldn't know the exact impression..
Still, there was a clue to the solution..
If we can secure a list of the people who participated in the last investigation team, the range of candidates will be narrowed down..
“where can i get the list?”
“I ask Marquis Gorfant to ask for it..”
“But, really, should I give it to you??”
“Yeah, I'll have no choice but to give it to you.”
Most of the Imperial investigation team are wizards.
And the mage tower where wizards live is in the heart of the empire. Having an abyss worshiper in a place like that isn't what the Marquis wants..
‘I wanted to be quiet for a while…….’
I hope the gap will open again.
Really, the door to the abyss will open sooner or later, right? Noah's shoulders trembled at her sudden, ominous thought..
Contrary to concerns, however, nothing happened. Time flew by like a lightning bolt, and in the blink of an eye, the full moon passed..
Monday in September coming soon.
The curtain on the athletic meet has risen.
3.
foggy morning.
The imperial castle of the Ruben Empire was enveloped in a sense of quiet desolation. Perhaps it was because the darkness mixed with the hazy fog, I could hardly hear any signs..
However, there were exceptions.
The Castle of Prince Chartrand.
The place is now crowded with large numbers of people..
A group of knights armed with swords and shields formed, and even a wizard was visible. The same was true of Chartrand, the owner of the castle..
“…….”
A man looking out the window without speaking.
Chartrand, clad in pure white armor, gazed at the fog-covered foreground with dry eyes..
how long has it been like that?
smart!
With a knock, two knights came to the office. The middle-aged knight in the front of the two spoke politely..
“……your majesty.”
Imperial Sword, Saxony Jul Orden.
The knight who is said to be the strongest in the Empire continued to speak with his head bowed to Chartrand..
“All preparations are done.”
“Just give me any order.”
The female knight by Saxony's side.
The lightsaber of the East, Limer Yen Lapidis, also bowed his head respectfully. As the two said, Chartrand's castle was full of the strongest elites..
Right now there are only 40 expert knights.
In addition, there were 20 mage-level wizards who came out of the Mage Tower..
where is that?
The great nobles and local warlords took advantage of the night to gather their troops in the capital. to be able to move at any time.
All that remains is Chartrand's orders..
While silently waiting for instructions, Chartrand, who had been staring out the window endlessly, turned around..
Then he called out Rimmer's name..
“Lord Lapidis.”
“yes, lord.”
“In the future, when the work here is finished and all missions are over, what do you want to do??”
Why are you asking this all of a sudden?
Rimer's eyes were questioned. It was because it was a question that did not fit the current situation..
However, she had no choice but to answer her lord's question, so she gave the most correct answer as a knight..
“I will be loyal to my lord.”
“not going back east?”
“Yes, as I said before, the East Coast is very safe right now. The wire will never collapse without me.”
“hmm, that's right.”
Chartrand nodded.
After a while, he asked the question again..
“Then, do you have any intention of joining the military department of Arsene Academy as an emeritus professor??”
“yes? what are you saying all of a sudden…….”
“I had a fight with that savage?”
A sharp word that penetrates the gap.
Rimer immediately shut up. Apparently, the news of the battle with Ulan had been delivered..
It's strange that I don't know.
Under his command, the Imperial Army and the Intelligence Agency existed side by side. Rimer silently lowered his head. At this, Chartrand laughed..
“I don't mean to rebuke you. However, the barbarian and sword masters all asked to become professors at Arsene Academy..”
Thousand Sword, Theoric Al Gorfant.
Blind Sword, Istan el Deorg.
Both Masters wanted to become emeritus professors at the Military Faculty. Of course, among them, only Seoric was appointed as a professor..
“That's why I asked to see if the Lord had any thoughts of doing so..”
It was the moment when the intention of the question was revealed..
Fortunately, it wasn't a big deal, so Rimmer let out a sigh of relief..
“The only place I'll be is by the lord's side.”
“Good thing. He worried what would happen if three of the five swords wanted to become professors..”
Chartrand laughed out loud..
It was obvious, but it didn't look genuinely concerned. Perhaps he threw a joke to relieve the stiff atmosphere in front of the giant..
“so how?”
“……yes?”
“the savage.”
he asked in a soft tone.
As in the mind of Rimmer.
“Marquis Gorfant said that he was as strong as a monster. Do you think so??”
“yes it is true.”
Answer without hesitation.
Rimmer referred to Uhlan as 'an absurdly strong monster'. Then Chartrand asked again if he was curious..
“How does it compare to Lord Orden??”
Chartrand's gaze turned to Saxony..
At the same time, Rimer also glanced at Saxony right next to him..
“……Can I be honest?”
“Of course. Lord thinks so?”
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
Saxony nodded..
kind smile. Remer cautiously opened his mouth at the expression that seemed to ask him to speak without hesitation..
“In my personal opinion, I thought Lord Orden had no choice but to win until I fought him..”
It was natural to think so.
For the territory of Saxony is forty paces.
Throughout history, there are only a handful of people who have mastered such an area..
“But now I've changed my mind.”
I felt it desperately while facing Ulan..
The size of the field is not important.
So I can say with certainty.
“I dare to say that Lord Orden will not be able to win against Uhlan..”
may sound cheeky.
Still, Saxony did not blink an eyebrow. Chartrand also asked back with a face full of interest, not anger..
“Interesting. The reason is?”
“Because he is a strong man who has reached a level that cannot be defined just by being a master..”
with such an answer.
Rimer organized and conveyed the realizations he felt while sparring with Ulan. After a while, Chartrand touched her chin and smiled..
“After Sir Gorfant, even Sir Lapidis said so much, I'm quite interested..”
Like finding an interesting toy.
At the end of the innocent smile, a low murmur was scattered in the air..
“make room for later.”
“What do you mean by seat?……?”
“I will invite that barbarian to the imperial castle.”
“……!”
Rimmer's eyes widened..
Same with Saxony.
Faced with these two reactions, Chartrand laughed as if he was so surprised..
“I was quite interested. Of course, after all the work is done..”
After a short answer.
Chartrand moved on..
He strode along as if there was nothing to stand in his way, and eventually stopped in front of the door. Then he said without looking back.
“Lord Lapidis.”
“yes, lord.”
“Slaughter all the rats from other countries hiding in the imperial castle, and arrest Jim's brothers who tried to challenge the imperial power..”
Everyone without exception.
At the instruction announcing the beginning of the action, Rimmer immediately grabbed the hilt of the sword..
“I will follow your orders.”
The day Arsene's sports day was held.
Tens of thousands of troops gathered in the capital, including Limer Yen Lapidis, began to act in unison..
has only one purpose.
To make Chartrand, the master they serve, emperor of the empire.
