The Academy's Barbarian-Chapter 331
68page. changeable fate (3)
5.
Clear evidence on the desk.
It was the eyeballs presumed to be those of the dead agents. The moment when everyone frowned at the sudden, terrible sight.
Suddenly, Dillia's eyes sparkled. As if he had figured out what the real identity of the eyeball was. Then she tilted her head slightly and muttered.
“……small, crystal ball?”
“yes, that's correct.”
Noah nodded his head as if saying the answer was correct.
The true identity of the eyeball is a prosthetic eye. And this prosthetic was, as Dillia said, a small crystal ball capable of recording images..
‘It was like that in the original too.’
Agents of the Crow Brigade, without a single exception, have such a small crystal ball attached to one eye..
For a situation like this right now.
“then i will play.”
The agents who placed the crystal ball in the shape of a prosthetic eye on the desk immediately blew magic into it. Then, the recorded video was played with vibration..
The place is inside the canyon.
Judging by the violent jitters in the video, it seemed that he was probably pursuing or running away from Demuel..
At that moment.
Suddenly the screen rotated once.
“……!”
Ulan's party and Seoric's faces hardened at the scene that followed. It is because the body of the person presumed to be the owner of the eyeball was torn to pieces..
The dizzying spinning screen soon stopped in place. What followed was a giant eyeball-shaped monster with Demuel..
“me, that……!”
“A descendant of Lacus..”
Ulan's eyes narrowed..
At the same time, the complexion of everyone in the hall quickly hardened. It was because it was the moment when it was revealed that Demuel was communicating with the abyss..
Afterwards, the sight of the two beings conversing amicably turned the atmosphere in the command barracks cold as if cold water had been poured on them..
“…….”
A situation where everyone is silent.
But apart from that, the video isn't over yet. This is because a new group appeared after the eyeball monster, Lacus, disappeared..
Dressed as desert cultists.
Moments later, when the one at the head of the group took off his hood, Noah exclaimed in surprise..
“Estelle Outra!”
“hmm? is it a familiar face?”
At her reaction, Seorik asked in a puzzled manner, and Noah immediately nodded..
“sure. Of course I have to know.”
I even tried playing.
Seeing Noah's confidence in the other person's identity, Seoric asked another question..
“what is the identity?”
“He is the leader of the Abyssal Worshipers..”
“……!?”
Istan's complexion hardens quickly.
At the same time, Seoric asked in surprise..
“is that true?”
“yes i swear it's true.”
“I can swear.”
Uland also contributed to Noah's confidence.
But there was no need for his testimony..
In the first place, just being with Lacus's family would be clear evidence that Demuel was communicating with the abyss..
“ok, that's it…….”
What Noah and Istan said is true.
In other words, the abyss is in the desert. The situation became more serious than he thought, and Seoric frowned as if he was in trouble..
Then, I heard Noah's voice..
“Anyway, I think this will clear up all the misunderstandings we had..”
“……Eh.”
Theoric let out a groan instead of an answer..
Since there was such clear evidence, there was no further questioning. So the moment I tried to silently nod my head.
“No, I still have questions to ask..”
Suddenly, a voice pouring cold water was heard..
It was none other than Rimmer..
Barging into the conversation with a stiff face, she soon turned her gaze to Noah's back. Then she spoke to her in a calm voice..
“princess.”
Where the brown eyes stretched out was a girl with white hair and red eyes..
The direct cause of the imperial army's arrival in the desert was Pertisia. When she put on her puzzled expression at her sudden outpouring of gaze.
“why did you do that?”
“what, what?”
“Are you asking because you really don't know??”
Rimmer's eyes narrowed..
But when Perticia continued to pretend not to know, she bit her lip. She said her words in a voice that overflowed with anger afterward..
“Do you know how many people were caught up in this war because of the princess' immature thoughts??”
“that…….”
“If the princess had returned to the imperial castle at the time, we wouldn't have come to the desert or fought with the pagans.!”
a roaring cry.
Perticia's complexion instantly turned dark at Rimer's reprimanding words. When her guilt creeps in.
“Wrong.”
There was a voice in the conversation.
None other than Ulan. Rimer's gaze turned to his sudden intrusion, and Ulan responded by striking her eyes from the front..
“This war is just something that will happen someday. As I said before, the abyss was growing in the desert.”
In other words, even if he hadn't marched into the desert, he might have had to deal with the army of the abyss, which later became an even bigger disaster..
However, Rimer did not show any reaction, as if he judged that it was not worth responding to. Instead, he looked back at Perticia and said.
“Anyway, you have to go back now. Because His Majesty is anxiously seeking.”
Rimmer reached out.
As if to catch it. But Pertisha shook her head instead of holding her hand..
“……no, I do not want.”
“princess!”
“Sir Lapidis knows. If you go back to the imperial castle, you will never be able to come out again.!”
“You still have to go! Because this is Hwangmyeong. You have no right to refuse the princess..”
a soft voice.
Soon after, Rimer and Perticia's eyes collided tightly without yielding an inch..
how long has it been like that?
Perhaps realizing that he could not convince Perticia with words, Rimmer said with a sigh.
“If you do not agree to cooperate, I will take you by force..”
Her eyes flashed with determination..
If Rimer decided to take her away, Perticia would have no way to resist. That's why, when I was walking backwards with a shrinking face.
“oh!”
bumped into someone.
It was Ulan, a barbarian who had come close to him. Taking a step forward, he opened his mouth while blocking Perticia's path..
“Perticia can't be taken.”
“……what?”
Rimmer frowned..
It was with a voice that the feeling of absurdity was buried as it was. Ulan, on the other hand, didn't care and tapped her chest with her fist..
“If you want to use force to take Perticia by force, you'll have to deal with me first..”
“joy! what qualifications do you have?”
“I am a colleague of this guy. That's why I'm just respecting the will of my colleagues.”
Ulan responds without being intimidated.
Rimer crumpled his face. After that, he shouted with a clear expression of annoyance..
“Bringing the princess is an order from Her Majesty Chartres! don't you know what this means?”
“I do not know.”
“If so, tell me! Disobeying the emperor means turning the empire into an enemy.!”
Even the most ignorant and brainless barbarians should know what it means to turn the Empire into an enemy..
If you did, you would know what I meant..
Remer, who judged that, moved on again. After passing through Ulan and securing Perticia, he intends to return to the Empire as it is..
but couldn't.
“……what is this?”
Because Ulan's ax blocked the way.
That too is an ax wrapped in aura.
Rimer twitched his eyebrows and glared at Ulan, and soon the same reply came back..
“Perticia can't be taken.”
“you right now…….”
“understood. but can't back down.”
After shaking my head.
Ulan calmly explained the reason.
“Because Perticia is an indispensable and valuable companion to fight the abyss. And above all, I respect his wishes as a colleague..”
What kind of stuffy guy is this??
Rimer thumped his chest with a tone of frustration as if his clothes were about to explode. Then, as if bursting with anger, he let out a loud cry..
“Do you intend to do so even while rejecting Hwang Myung?!”
“yes i think so.”
“what, what?!”
Rimmer's eyes widened..
It was because Ulan expressed his intention to reject the Emperor without hesitation..
However, unlike her expression of astonishment, Ulan replied in a calm tone..
“I said I would if it would turn the Empire into an enemy by preventing my comrades from being forcibly taken..”
“You guys! It's like treason!”
Rimer reacts violently.
Along with her running wild on the road, the atmosphere in the hall quickly became cold..
Well, I'll do just that.
Ulan proudly refused the emperor at the place where all the great nobles of the empire gathered, and further stated that it was okay to turn the empire into an enemy..
“Whoops, I got it all wrong.”
At this situation, Noah let out a deep sigh..
The atmosphere was about to improve at best when Demuel's cooperation with Abyss was revealed through the testimony of the Crow Brigade, but now it's all wrong..
But the expression wasn't bad at all..
“Well, that's what Ulan is..”
Ulan was always like that.
In the case of injustice, even if the aftermath was great, he always carried through with his will..
Originally, and still.
‘Even if it's probably not Persian…….’
Even if Noah or another colleague were in a similar situation, Ulan would have come forward and sided with him just as he does now..
Knowing this well, Noah could not blame Ulan for his actions..
‘But if you leave it like this, it will be difficult.’
Rimer must be stopped somehow.
If not, the relationship between Ulan and the Empire will surely go from bad to worse..
Noah, reassured by this, tried to intervene in the conversation. In order to calm Rimmer, who is running mad with rage, and change the atmosphere.
But then.
An unexpected reinforcement has appeared..
“I also support Ulan's opinion..”
A girl with turquoise hair who had been silently listening to the conversation. It was Laurea..
Meanwhile, Rimmer, who confirmed her involvement, immediately crumpled his face. Then he waved her hand and said in retort:.
“Seongguk has the right to intervene in this matter…….”
“there is. It's related to trust..”
“……what?”
For an instant, Rimmer hesitated..
Well, if you think about it, it's not entirely wrong. In the first place, in order to face the abyss, every hero of the stars must be present..
Therefore, Laurea supported Uhlan's opinion, and out of respect for Perticia's wishes, declared that she could not be sent back to the Empire..
It was all the more so in the present situation, with the battle against the giant king Largtan, the lord of the abyss, just around the corner..
“So, if you intend to take Perticia, the Seongguk will judge it as an act of meddling in the theocracy and will take immediate action..”
“…….”
Laurea Shows a Hard Line.
On the other hand, at the presence of Seongguk who suddenly intervened, Rimer gnashed his teeth. Then he glared at Laurea with bloodshot eyes..
Accordingly, Laurea also did not avert her gaze and collided with Rimmer's momentum. When the atmosphere turned cold in such a different way.
“That, urgent! It's urgent!”
Suddenly someone entered the barracks.
A soldier covered in dirt.
Dressed like a herald, he spotted Istan and immediately bowed his head. Soon after, he shouted with a bloody face..
“A large-scale army of monsters appeared in the northwestern part of the canyon front! We are currently engaged on the front lines of the gorge.!”
“……!?”
“Need your support! At this rate, it's only a matter of time before the front line breaks through.!”
An army of demons that appeared without warning.
The moment they even heard a report that it seemed like an additional wire had been pierced, the party left their seats at the same time, regardless of who said first..
