Chapter 21, A Change in Attitude
Black Thirteen's small action was naturally seen by others. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ info
After accepting the setting of 'Mercenary Yuri', Yuri Black Thirteen was a little unaccustomed to the sudden change of attitude.
[What?] If you're worried about the payment, Anastasia-sama has already paid it, so it's no problem?γ
[I don't know what your purpose is, but it's still quite unsettling to find an excuse like you to give yourself a hug. Do you understand?]
[Do you want to help but don't dare to trust?] If you are just so open-minded, it is really too bad. γ
[No, I can trust anyone here except you, understand?'
ββββ
[Hawkers,Even if the reward is gone, it's impossible to quit.] If it's a stupid melon with a bad head, it only needs to be blackmailed once, but if it's a powerful opponent, it needs more opportunities to blackmail.
[So why is it blackmail!] Black Thirteen was a little dissatisfied with Ricardo who interjected, although he was just venting some unnecessary emotions just now.
Of course, it's just a waste of time to continue to talk about it, and it's only the 'Leyue Ang' of this body who has a grudge, Black Thirteen appropriately restrained the confrontation with Yuri, after all, it will be a person who will depend on each other for his life in a while, and the appropriate difficulty just now is indeed out of his heart.
[Whew...... I don't want to say it, but I'm going to have to tie my life to some unhappy guys. γ
[So you were inexplicably angry just now because of this? You also underestimated the 'mercenary'. γ
[Okay, then you swear, swear to Dragon, this time you will cooperate with the right to kill the enemy, and you must not go around in circles for any reason to avoid not fighting. Black Thirteen squinted at the mercenary 'Yuri' with small eyes.
[Does Lord Aung know that it is sacred for us to swear to the 'dragon' here?] Julius also narrowed his eyes and looked at Black Thirteen.
[Anyway, I, 'Yuri', swear to 'Dragon' that I will follow the instructions of 'Leyueon' with all my strength and will not refute this time.] ...... Is this okay?] Julius said as he put his hand on his chest.
[I'm a mercenary 'Yuri' from the front of the line, so I swear by this name, so I can rest assured, right?]
[Hmm...... Barely passing]
[In that case.] The people around him watched as Black Thirteen took a step back, and then bent down deeply.
[Thank you very much for this assistance, and on behalf of myself, the knights of Emilia, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to you for being able to lend a helping hand when I need it most.] γ
[This is the case, to apologize for the rudeness. The words and deeds at that time, although they can't all be retracted, but at least those words that insulted you, I hereby apologize from the bottom of my heart] Julius responded to Black Thirteen's apology.
Knowing this, Black Thirteen jumped off the dragon's back and stood on the ground with the [Knight], facing each other head-on at the same height.
Black Thirteen said to the knight who was staring at him with his yellow eyes and at the same time being stared at by his own black pupils.
[I'm sorry, and I'm grateful that you're here now, but I still hate you]
[Oh?Isn't this annoyance the kind of 'I don't want to play with you anymore' that friends forget every other day?]
[Hah! I want to be beautiful. But then follow me beautifully. γ
[Big words, I really dare to say it, just like then... γ
[But judging from the current results, it seems to be a good skill.] γ
Standing in the center of the fifty people sitting around, Black Thirteen looked at the people around him.
The location was in the streets of Lifaus, the time was dawn, and the participants were all members of the raiding team.
The personnel who have experienced the Moby Dick War have joined forces with the reinforcements of the [Iron Fang] led by Julius to form a sizable team, and now it is almost time to share goals and intelligence.
Surrounded by veterans led by Julius, Phyllis, Ricardo, and Viruhelum , Black Thirteen speaks.
[Next we're going to Merthers to get ...... To be exact, the mansion of the **** of Rhodes. There, we will meet the Witch Cult]
[Witch Sect, ......]
After the name of the Witch Cult was posed, a complicated look appeared on everyone's face.
Judging from the conversations so far, there are many people who have already realized the corresponding awareness, but that feeling will also change as the identity of the enemy is clarified.
In this world, the existence of the Witch Cult is known to everyone in what form, and what the image is in their minds, although it is not unknown, but it is also very limited.
[Let me say, I can only say that it is a terrible group of people]
Judging from the general reaction, this seems to be a consensus.
γPleiades.γ How did you connect Moby Dick with the Witch Cult?]
"Pleiades", who called his name calmly and unceremoniously like this, was none other than Julius.
From the moment he spoke the truth to each other, Julius's attitude became particularly casual.
[It's an unpleasant memory, but I've met a witch cultist.] Not only did there be a lot of things, but they were also full of annoying memories...... And then one of them said he had leaked his mouth.]
[That's right. ...... In other words, the Knights' speculation is not wrong?
[Yes. In the information collected by Viruye, it seems that the same conclusion has been reached.]
[So you know a little bit about it.] Black Thirteen listened to their conversation and nodded.
[Because for Viru, Moby Dick is the most important thing, and the Witch Sect is just an incidental thing. Little Fili was also skeptical when he first heard it.]
[Similar rumors seem to have appeared in the Knights.] But in the end, it was treated as gossip, and it was just a smile and passed]
Julius shrugged, and Viruhelum sighed and said, "It can't be helped."
[Then to make a long story short, the intelligence feasibility is very high, [Moby Dick] should be a product of the Witch Cult, and it is named 'gluttony' in the Seven Deadly Sins.] γ
[Wait, what's that of the Seven Deadly Sins?] Julius asked, puzzled.
[Ahem, I just gave it a name, don't care about these details. The black thirteen who said that he leaked his mouth started haha.
After the initial introduction of "related to the witch cult", the next thing that must be known to everyone is,
[The Witch Cult's target is Emilia, and they plan to burn the house along with the nearby villages.] So, kick those bastards out anyway......]
[Get out.] Pleiades, it's really naΓ―veββ]
Phyllis dragged out the tail note meaningfully, looking at Black Thirteen, his sharp eyes looked particularly charming.
It's a bepleasing demeanor that sends chills down your spine. However, he is male.
What does naivety mean......
[That kind of guy meows, all the staff will solve it with one knife, and it will be over.] Judging by the records so far, this is the right way to deal with them, right?]
γββββγ
Hearing Phyllis's hearty suggestion to kill, Black Thirteen kept silent.
Obviously, he wanted to kill the other party in any way, but he naively said a more gentle statement.
Obviously, he had thought so many times in his mind that he wanted to kill them so that they would have no place to bury, but now he said such innocent words, and he was startled by the change in his state of mind.
Presumably because in my mind, the most important thing has changed.
[Now as long as you can protect those guys in the mansion and the village, that's it.] Whether it's driving the witch cultists away, or beating them away, smashing them to death, stabbing them to death, crushing them to death, burning them to death, peeling them to their bones, and tearing them apart......]
[Got it, got it.] It's clear that you're angry with them.]
Oh no. No, it's not. I am not determined to fight out of anger or hatred. Approaching Emilia for this reason or something, and even more distorting the facts!]
[No one said that!?]
As he spoke, his anger burned again, and finally with the comfort of Julius and Phyllis, Black Thirteen calmed down, and the memory in this body always gets uncontrollable when it comes to critical moments. However, knowing that there is no need to hide this matter is also a reward.
[Came up with the kind of battle that sacrificed himself, and finally eliminated the white whale, no one would have such a conjecture now?
[What do you say about not trusting human beings......]
Actually, it was Phyllis and Cruch who were so suspicious.
However, Phyllis giggled as if he was hiding his true thoughts. This is probably also the change brought about by Black Thirteen's thoughts and actions.
[In any case, the Witch Cult will definitely make a move.] Judging from their doctrine and way of doing things, from the moment Mistress Emilia was named in the King's Election, it was destined to evolve into today's situation.]
Putting Black Thirteen's mood aside, everyone present agreed with Julius.
[I want to ask something, why does everyone agree that as soon as Emilia reports her name, the Witch Sect will take action?] It feels a little incredible to see everyone accept it so easily...... Isn't it said that the group of guys taught by the witch still have a lot of things that people don't understand?]
[You know that the Witch Church has actions, but you still say such things?
......Black Thirteen really doesn't know, the lack of knowledge about this world has reached the point where you have to ask whether the sidewalk is left or right.
Hearing Black Thirteen's inquiry, Phyllis touched the cat's ears helplessly.
[It's a little strange for someone who doesn't know the situation to say such a thing?...... Forget it, [Jealous Witch] Shadela is devoutly believed in by the Witch Sect. You know that, right?]
[Hmm~]
[Basically none of the guys who actually experienced it are alive, which is of course.] I'm just hearsay. Well, as long as you know that the belief of the witch cultists is that Shadella. So, do you know that the witch named Sardella is a half-elf?]
γHmm~!γ
[Emilia's appearance is exactly the same as that of a witch, right?, but that doesn't mean that the child should be blamed. Those are just acts of anger on the wrong subject.]
[Most of the guys don't think they're wrong.] After all, Sardella had done something like that. So, back to the question of the Witch Cult...... The reason is simple, for them, the presence of half-elves is an eyesore.]
γOh~!γ
[Did Ang Qin really understand?]
[I'm sorry, although I roughly understand it, but I don't understand the thinking of those people at all, but no matter what, it's right that their parents don't know them!]
[This statement is really cute......]
[The group of people in the Witch Sect have problems with their heads, and this is not something that I only know now, how can that kind of thing be- can it be? The question is which one is the one who leads the Witch Sect and targets Lord Emilia]
[Yes, the Great Sin Priest......]
[Do you know that name?]
Ricardo agrees with what Phyllis said, and the words he utters catch Black Thirteen's attention.
From the memory of the Deadly Sin, he knew that it was the position that Petyrcius had reported, and in addition to that, he also called himself to take on the role of "laziness".
[Is the Witch Cult's Great Sin Priest famous?]
[I guess I just know that there is such a group of people.] I've heard people gossip before, saying that before the [Jealous Witch] turned the world upside down, there were also witches]
[Arrogance. Wrath. Lazy. Desire. Gluttony. γ - The six witches who were named the Great Sin. And then everyone's existence was swallowed up by Sadella, who had the name of "jealousy"]
The witch in the name of the great sin - this is also something that seems to have been heard somewhere.
When you mention witches in this world, you are basically talking about jealous witches, and witches who are named after other great sins almost no longer exist.
[It's just, the cadres of the Witch Sect...... I don't know if that's appropriate, but I've heard that they're the ones who took the place of the vanished witches and took the name of a great sin. Jealousy is a symbol of their faith. In other words, the other six people are the six priests of the deadly sin.
[However, the white whale that was supposed to be [gluttony] has been defeated by us. The other major sin priests should not come forward to Mercers. This is a good opportunity to hit the Witch Sect in one go.]
[Oh, I'm so confident~, but if you want to say that this is a good opportunity to defeat the witch sect of unknown origin in one go, Xiao Fili also agrees with this. They really don't take Rugunica seriously.]
[They, like Moby Dick, are the scourge of the world. It is an opponent that the Knights regard as a thorn in their side. Most knights except me should think so, too. I am so lucky to have this opportunity.]
Both Phyllis and Julius echoed Black Thirteen's opinion, Ricardo smiled belligerently, and Viruhyrum simply nodded solemnly in agreement.
In this way, what Black Thirteen should do is to make use of the current combat power and future intelligence to establish a battle plan. - However, the operation itself is extremely simple, and the preparations have already been made.
[In the worst-case scenario, even if it is only half of the current combat strength, it will have to be fought, but because of the convergence with Julius, there is no problem in terms of numbers. I think the plan is feasible]
[There's one thing I'd like to correct, my name is Yuri.] It's true that I have a good relationship with the eldest son of the Ukulius family, but please note this.]
[This setting is purely troublesome when there are no outsiders!I can't continue to discuss it!]
[Paying more attention at ordinary times is the secret to avoiding mistakes at critical times]
[If you want to pay attention to it in normal times, don't let me come here in the clothes of the Knights of the Guards from the beginning!!!
