I can see the Emperor's stats-Chapter 193
"for a moment? Come to the Holy Land?”
The great emperor frowned and turned his head to the statue.
“Did you ever give me a quest like that?”
[I've never been like that.]
Heimdall dismissed the question lightly. In the first place, the Seongguk is a place ruled by a system that acts as a god instead. Couldn't he have instructed me to come to such a place?
"ah… this!"
The emperor suddenly burst into a sigh.
"I've been hiding it well, but I've been discovered. Is it the work of that damn old man?”
"detection?"
Julius was looking at the emperor with a bewildered expression. He jerks his head, sees Julius, and exclaims.
"you! Where did you hide the bowl?”
"bowl?"
It's an expression I've never heard before. But before he even noticed it, the great emperor was devastated.
“Your younger brother! The one who killed you in your previous life!”
“You mean Leonhard?”
Julius grew more suspicious. Come to think of it, the Demonic Cult tried to kidnap Leon. Of course, in preparation for that, he had enough escorts attached.
However, upon hearing that, the great emperor burst into a sigh and held his head.
"under… It would have been too late if I had left it out in plain sight.”
“What are you talking about?”
“I don't have time to explain! Hold my hand!"
Julius reluctantly grabbed the hand that the great emperor had extended.
sereung.
'knife?'
The great emperor drew his sword and lightly drew a circle in the air.
And at that moment!
The landscape around the two of them began to drift away.
Hey hey hey!
“Hut!”
Julius felt his body being sucked into something. At the same time, the surrounding landscape is mercilessly distorted.
Pod!
“It’s here!”
"here is?"
The strange distortion finally disappeared and Julius looked around and was startled. I was in the dark temple just before, but now I see a city with tall buildings lined up in all directions.
A laugh escaped from Julius' mouth.
“Is this Luoyang?”
Surprisingly, the great emperor easily jumped over a distance of hundreds of kilometers with a light swing of his sword and arrived at Luoyang, where there was a blind spot. He couldn't believe it even after seeing it with his own eyes.
However, without giving him time to admire, the great emperor clicked his tongue.
"also… Too late. Look at that.”
Seeing where he pointed, Julius opened his eyes, which was rare.
"oh!"
Jeong Do-maeng's buildings collapsed here and there as if a storm had swept through them. There must have been a fierce battle. However, the reason why Julius was surprised was not because of the building.
Fain!
In an instant, he kicked off the ground and flew into the building. There was another reason why Julius became desperate. Before departing to subdue the Demonic Cult, he attached excellent warriors to escort Leon.
'It looks like the Demonic Cult is targeting this guy, so it's better to attach a small number of elites even at the cost of power loss.'
Those selected from that small elite were the people that Julius trusted the most.
'With her skills, even in the worst case, her life will be saved, but I have an ominous feeling.'
* * *
A few hours before Julius and the Emperor moved to Luoyang.
“Turn it off!”
Leonhardt stretched once at the desk in the office and stood up.
'There's little to do even if I'm sitting in the fort.'
Jegal Nebula, who was at least a friend, left to subdue the Demonic Cult. With most of the masters gone, Jeong Do-maeng was not at all idle.
Sigh.
When he opened the door and left the office, someone quickly approached him.
“Your Highness, the 2nd Prince. Are you done?”
“Ugh!”
Leon looked at the person talking to him and smiled awkwardly.
"haha… I am going to rest a little now.”
“I see. I will escort you to the dorm.”
“… … .”
The voice was so hard. Leon looked at the knight who was escorted with a puzzled expression.
“Kuhm… Anyway, please.”
“… … .”
here. Beatrice began to move towards Leon's residence in silence. Leon found her incredibly burdensome. He knew, of course, that she was her superior knight.
Incidentally, everyone in the imperial palace knew that she had a special relationship with his older brother, Julius.
'It looks fine. I want it to be so sluggish... Brother, what do you like about a woman like that?'
Leon grumbled inwardly and followed her. Her conversation with her was businesslike. But wouldn't it be possible to talk a little more friendly like an attendant?
On top of that, Beatrice was a woman who was difficult to talk to without thinking that he would treat her kindly.
'It would be troublesome if he heard that I was flirting with that woman.'
He didn't seem like that kind of person, but Leon had no choice but to be wary of her even if he was afraid of Julius.
Fortunately, it didn't take long from the office to Leon's residence.
“It's all here. Have a good night.”
Beatrice stops at the bedroom door and bows politely to him.
“Kyung-do, thank you for your hard work.”
Leon answered quickly and tried to open the door. But then.
visor!
"Excuse me."
"hmm?"
The sword was drawn before the horse. Beatrice pulled Leon back and pointed her sword at the bedroom door. Leon asked, surprised when she suddenly drew her sword.
"What's going on?"
she replied briefly.
“There is someone inside.”
“In my bedroom?”
The day was already dark. And there is no way that there would be a guest coming to Leon on this continent. Beatrice's keen senses had caught the slightest movement in the bedroom.
“I will go in first.”
She pulled the doorknob cautiously. Because she had been warned by Julius beforehand, she was quite nervous.
rattle.
"ah!"
However, after running into the room, Beatrice was terribly startled.
"you are?"
The faint presence she felt in the bedroom was someone she knew. In the Holy Land, she followed her father in greeting several times.
"hmm? What is the duke's daughter doing in this distant place?”
An old man with a white beard. Archbishop Galeus of her holy kingdom looked up at her with her puzzled expression.
The man who said he would return to the holy kingdom had come to Leonhard's bedroom.
“What is the Archbishop doing here… … .”
“Looking at the attire, it looks like a priest, do I have business?”
But before she could express her question, Leon came into the room. Seeing her signs, he decided that it was not an assassination.
"Oh oh!"
Galeus jumped up from his seat and bowed his head deeply.
“I am Galeus of the Holy Kingdom. Are you sure you are the second prince of the empire?”
“Is that so? Does someone like you have business with me?”
Leon received his greeting with an expression of incomprehension. Speaking of Archbishop Galeus, isn't he the most powerful person in the Holy Land, excluding the Pope?
He had no reason to visit him, who had already been pushed out of the line of succession to the throne.
'Something suspicious?'
However, Galeus continued with a nonchalant tone, as if he had made an appointment.
“I came here after receiving an oracle from great people. Please go to the holy kingdom with me.”
"trust?"
"That's right. Do you remember that I visited the Crown Prince of the Empire a while ago?”
“Brother?”
Leon tilted his head. Come to think of it, he seemed to have heard something similar somewhere.
“I think I heard you. But again, what's the matter with me? Is that also an oracle?”
"hmm… ”
For a moment, Galeus glanced at Beatrice, who was standing behind Leon.
“There is nothing difficult about it. There was a mistake in our interpretation of the oracle. It’s just that the person who comes to pick you up has changed.”
Even when Leon heard the sound, he was dubious.
“So, is it that older brother was originally going to go to the Holy Kingdom, but changed to me?”
“It’s all my negligence.”
Galeus bowed his head and apologized, then opened his mouth again with a serious look.
“Then go. Great people are waiting for the prince.”
"now?"
Leon was slightly taken aback. It is a story that there is nothing difficult about going to the holy kingdom. However, his keen senses sensed something was not clear from Galeus.
'I thought about it before, but this man has something to hide.'
"haha… The offer is good, but I am not the one who decides where I am going.”
Leon smiled and accepted the words.
“When my older brother returns, I will take permission and visit the Holy Kingdom right away. Then there will be no problems... … .”
"It's not possible."
“… … !?”
For a moment, not only Leon but also Beatrice looked at Galeus with a startled expression.
“I'm sorry, but I can't. The prince wants you to come right now.”
"what… … .”
Leon looked at him with an expression of bewilderment rather than anger. No matter how much the holy kingdom, and even if it was an order from the Three Great Churches, the imperial family of the empire couldn't be told what to do.
Even so, Galeus was looking at him with an expression that everything was already decided, so it was absurd.
'ah! From what I can see, this guy isn't normal.'
After thinking, Leon made up his mind.
