CHAPTER XIV
Kane: Soldier of the Empire?
Captain of the Hekdi Garrison: Who are you?
Wait a minute
Saint? Is it the Holy Maiden of Light?
Yuxia: It's me. I am the Holy Maiden of Light.
Captain of the Hekdi Garrison: It's great that you're okay!
Captain of the Hekdi Garrison: I really didn't expect you to succeed in rescuing the Holy Maiden, I heard that the rescue team was annihilated, not to mention how worried we were
It's really hard for you, if it weren't for you, no one would have been able to succeed in this matter.
Kane: No.
Captain of the Hykdi Garrison: You've been tired of the long journey these days. Let's go and rest at our Belesetti station.
When you're rested, we'll escort you to the Imperial Capital.
Eulcia: Ahhh
Captain of the Hekdi garrison: Go to the tent and arrange a place for the Holy Maiden.
Please come with me. I'll send you to the tent.
Baroque: Oh, so you're here.
Kane (the man was at that time)
Dobaroque: It's been a long time, Holy Maiden.
Yuxia: What a baroque pro?
Dobaroque: Ever since the kidnapping of the Holy Maiden, I've been worried about being able to come back so safely.
Yuxia:
Dobaroque: I'll escort you to the capital now. The Pope's Holy Venerable is now waiting for the Holy Maiden to be almost dry, hehe.
Captain of the Hekdi Garrison: Many, Lord Doba Los. You are
Dobaroque: Huh? As I said, from now on it will be up to me to personally guard the Holy Maiden until we reach the capital.
Dobaroque: You're tired too. Just take a break here, and don't rush back to the capital.
Captain of the Hectic Garrison: But the Holy Maiden must be tired too
Dobaroque: The Pope can't wait to see the Holy Maiden return safely.
Are you disobeying the decree of the Lord God?
Captain of the Hekdi Garrison: My subordinates don't dare
Dobaroque: Then please, Holy Maiden.
Yuxia:
Kane, will we ever meet again?
Kane:
I don't think there's a chance.
I'm just a knight. There should be no chance to see the saint again
Yuxia: But it's a shame to just break up like this. I'm just getting to know you
Dobaroque: Holy Maiden, let's hurry up. We need to get to the capital as soon as possible.
Yuxia:
Kane: Thank you so much along the way
Kane: Nothing.
That's what I want to say, thank you
Yuxia: I hope to see you again in the capital
Kane: Hey, that's the end of my mission. I have finally fulfilled the orders of Lord Belendo.
But
Why do you feel so empty?
Pope Elossworth: Do you swear eternal allegiance to the Order of Bellese, and to always remember its teachings?
Kane: I swear.
Pope Erosworth: As a knight of the Holy Empire, do you swear to always maintain your righteous heart?
Kane: I swear.
Pope Erosworth: Nian escorted the saint back to the Empire, and the merit is commendable, and he is specially rewarded. Now in the name of God, Kane is a knight of the Holy Order, and may the glory of God be with you.
Kane: It's an honor.
Berendo: Kane, it's time to call Kane kiss.
Congratulations. I'm so proud of you.
Kane: I just did what I had to do.
BERENDO: Huh. If it weren't for you, the mission might have failed.
You brought back the holy woman safely, so that the people can live and work in peace and contentment again, and you are indispensable!
I still have Mass to do, I have to go.
Come on mine in a minute. I have something to tell you.
Kane: Got it.
Pope Erosworth: Although I had no choice but to make a knighthood, it was really uncomfortable. After all, the original plan has become a bubble
Dobaroque: I'm so sorry.
Pope Elossworth: Forget it. It's not a bad thing when you think about it. You can use her for at least a while.
Do Baroque, make a proclamation that the Holy Maiden will give a speech after her death.
The Multi-Baroque: The Oratory of the Holy Woman
Oh, I see. I'll go now, please rest assured.
BELENDO: Well done, Kane.
You were so young when I first brought you into the Order, but I didn't expect you to grow so big now...
Now that you have officially obtained the knighthood, the task after that is becoming easier and easier.
Kane: Well, thank you.
It's all thanks to Lord Belendo and the Dark Order
Ferosepuni: Kane: What's wrong? Your face doesn't look very good
Can I help you?
Kane: No. Nothing.
BERENDO: Huh. yes. If you've traveled a long way, you should be tired.
Let's go back to our room and get some rest.
Kane: Yes, Berendo: Your Excellency.
Kane: That's weird. I should be glad that I have completed my mission
But why does it feel so empty?
Is the saint doing well?
After returning to the Empire, she was never heard from again
Zorard: Kane, is it in there?
Is it disturbing your rest?
Kane: No, you say.
Zorard: I'm sorry that you came looking for you just after returning from your mission.
Suddenly something urgent and I would like to ask you for a favor.
Kane: What's the matter?
Zorard: I commissioned an alchemist named Layton to create a magic-infused armor for me.
Now he seems to have arrived in the Order with Kaijia. But I'm going to go on a campaign now for the training of the Dark Knights.
Can you keep that Kaijia for me, okay?
Kane: Got it.
Zorard: Thank you. Layton seemed to be heading in the direction of the Dark Order's warehouse. You should be able to meet him there.
Leighton, the Alchemist: Thank you. You've helped me a lot.
He really told me to find some strange materials that I didn't know what they were for
Kane:
Leighton the Alchemist: Uh-huh. In any case, the process of infusing magic will be greatly shortened.
Leighton, the Alchemist: If Lord Zorad returns, please give him this armor for me.
I'll thank you first~ I'll leave if there's nothing to do, goodbye.
Kane: (It's time for me to go back to my room and rest)
A few days later
Kane: That's what you call Kaijia
Zorard: Thank you. It's really a shame to let you do such a tedious thing
Kane: Nothing.
Zorard: Oh, I have some business, I have to go.
Soldier of the Dark Order: Lord Dhorard!
Zorard: What's the matter?
Soldiers of the Dark Order: Something is wrong! The Dark Knights training soldiers are trapped in the underground training grounds!
Zorard: What's going on? The monsters in the underground training ground are all weakened. Even a trainer should be able to kill them easily!
Dark Order Soldiers: There's been no training lately, so the Dark Mage Kain did a few intensive experiments with the monsters, and the trainers rushed into the training facility without knowing that the monsters had gone berserk.
Zorard: What a headache. Most of the Dark Knights are training outside the home right now
Kane: Just let me go.
Zorard: Okay, then I'll leave this matter to you.
First, you should go to Cain. He must have known about this, and maybe he had already thought of a solution.
Kane: Got it.
Kane: Do you hear that?
Kain, the Dark Mage: Well, don't mention it. Every member of the Order is making me crazy
Kane: Is there anything that can be done to quell this rampage?
Kain, the Dark Mage: I've done too many experiments. I don't know what kind of magic is the reason for the monsters' rampage. You'd better go into the underground training ground first and see what's going on inside. You can also ask the trainers.
Kane: Got it. Lord Naka, you have your potion ready.
Dark Mage Kain: Don't you say I'm in a hurry, don't rush.
Oh yes. If you run into someone from the Dark Order on the road, help me explain. Let's just say that it was a mistake and it will be solved as soon as possible, okay?
Kane: Alright. In this case, it should be possible to escort the wounded.
Trainer Leader: Thank you so much! Today's kindness, we will never forget!
Kain, the Dark Mage: You're saying there's a monster commanding another guy? It seems that my experiment to improve intelligence was quite successful!
It can make this stupid monster intellectual. I'm a genius!
Oh! Now that you have got the information about the monster rampage, you just need to make the corresponding test medicine.
Wait a minute. I'll do it soon.
Feroseppuni: You're not trying to put the mess on Kane to clean up, are you?
These things are caused by your mistakes, aren't they? You'll take care of the rest.
Dark Mage Kain: Scared! Fei, Lord Feroseppuni!
Ferosepny: Kane: I have something important for you. Let's talk in another place.
Kane: Yes, Philosepny: Your Excellency.
Kane: What's the matter?
Ferrosepuni: Kane:. Did you meet a man named Layton the other day on the commission of Zorad?
Kane: Are you talking about the alchemist?
Ferosepuni: yes. Actually, he came to me recently and said that he had found a suspicious person within the Order.
We said we would make a decision after gathering enough physical evidence, but he didn't hear from him after that.
Ferosepni: And yesterday I sensed that he activated the intruder detection in his own house with vigilance magic. I don't think that's right.
Kane:
Philosepny: So I wanted to go with you to the Layton House.
If you want to avoid the cross-examination of the soldiers and easily enter and exit the capital, you still have to rely on you, the holy knight.
Kane: Got it.
Ferosepuni: Thank you. The Layton House is heard to be somewhere in the jungle of Harnuen. Let's hold on.
Kane: Nobody.
Ferosepuni: That's weird. He didn't even need alchemy materials, where did he go?
Belese Dispatch Knight: Haha. Looks like there's someone who's in the same league as this guy.
You were knighted not long ago? You turn out to be a heretic too!!
Kane: What the hell are you talking about?
Belessee Dispatch Knight: You don't have to quibble anymore! It turns out that the alchemist who lives in this room has been confirmed to be a member of the Dark Order
We're here to catch his comrades! It seems that it was really not in vain! Get them!
Kane: Looks like it's all done.
Ferosepny: Well, good work, Kane:.
What the hell is this guy doing with Leighton?
It would be terrible if he couldn't stand the torture and say something he shouldn't have said.
It seems that we have to summon this guy's soul with a séance and ask where Layton is.
Kane: Help me get some séance materials in the Harnuen Jungle.
Materials such as the tongue of the red snake, the heart of the black wolf, and the red herb are required.
Kane: Got it.
Ferosepni: I'm sorry to disturb your Yellow Springs Road. We have something we want to ask you, so we can only take offense.
Where was the alchemist taken? What are you going to do to him?
Tell us everything you know.
Belese sent knights: the heretics were taken to the monastery at the end of the jungle of Harnuen
We're going to interrogate him for the remnants of the Dark Order
Philosepny: What?
Belese sent knights:
The pagan inquisitor may have asked for all the information
The Dark Order is almost finished
Hahahaha!
Ferosepuni: Where did it come from?
If that Leighton guy gives us the list and the Bellese Order, our Order will really face disaster!
Feroseppuni: It's an emergency! Can't sit still. We need to go to the monastery and get Layton out right away.
Ferosepny: If Leighton had told everything, then we would have to get rid of the interrogation records and all the people involved.
Kane: Okay.
Feroseppuni: Hurry up. I'm afraid that this guy Layton won't be able to stand the torture, so I'll say it.
Soldier Belese: Didn't you just say that Holy Week at Belese Monastery is not yet there?
Soldier Belese: Alien, heretic!
Kane: Damn, it's so loud, it must have alarmed the other soldiers. Looks like things aren't going well.
Philosepuni: How did you get caught by the Holy Knights? You're not going to recruit them all, are you?
Leighton the Alchemist: This, this
Inquisitor of the Inquisitors: The sinner has told him all that he knows. If he had died to atone for his sins, God would have forgiven him for his sins.
You heretics have come to the door of your own. It seems that this is undoubtedly asking us to deal with the heathen in God's name.
Kane: You're the Pagan Inquisitor: ?
Pagan Inquisitor: Yes. It is my sacred mission to destroy you, sinister and cunning dark parasites.
A bloody storm is about to blow. You should thank the gods for their gifts.
At least you will not die a painful death in despair and fear like those on the list.
Kane: (Is the list of the Order's personnel that Leighton said in his hands?)
Ferosepuni: Huh. The Bellese Order still has a sinister person like you.
Seems like we can keep our secret by destroying you, right?
Pagan Inquisitor: Hahaha! Destroy me? You're a pagan.
I'd like to see if you can still say that kind of thing when you're being judged by God! Get them!
Leighton the Alchemist: Ahem, I'm sorry, me
Ferosepny: It's not your fault. In that case, it's the same for everyone.
Let's get out of here first. Let's find a place to help Layton treat his wound first, and we'll know more about it later.
Kane: Got it.
Ferosepuni: Then let's go to Layton House. I'm going to give him emergency treatment.
It should be fine now.
Leighton the Alchemist: Thank you.
Philosepuni: Anyway, how did you get discovered by the Belese Order? Did you do something suspicious?
Leighton the Alchemist: No! I don't know why they noticed it. This sudden attack made me dizzy.
Ferosepni: Well, the conclusion is self-evident. There are betrayers in the Order!
Kane: Betrayer?
Leighton, the Alchemist: Actually, I was suspicious of someone before.
Ferosepuni: Oh, yes. You seem to have said before that there is a suspicious person in the Order, who is that person?
Leighton the Alchemist: It's Baron Boruza.
Feroseppuni: Huh? Baron Boruza? What do you mean by that?
Ladarkon, the Alchemist: Actually, not long ago, the Baron asked me to find some magical materials.
Alchemist Leighton: But I noticed that there was something special about those magical materials, so I took a look at the records in ancient documents.
Leighton, the Alchemist: But according to ancient texts, those materials turned out to be necessary to make a dangerous magical creature that had long been forbidden.
Ferrosepuni: Forbidden Dangerous Magical Creature? What the hell is that?
Alchemist Leighton: That's not clear. However, I think he wants to make such a dangerous animal without permission, and he has always had some bad intentions. That's why I thought I wanted to tell Mistress Ferosepni.
Ferosepny: Well, this guy is very suspicious
Kane, I'm going to take care of Baron Boruza. If we don't get the problem straight, we won't have a good life.
Kane: Got it, Mistress Ferosepni.
Ferosepuni: The baron's home is just opposite the Capital Square in the southwest of the capital.
If it's really a traitor, you can just drop it.
Kane: Yes.
Ferosepuni: Layton and I will return to the Order first. At this time, the Order can't be left alone.
If the matter is settled, let's go back to the Order.
Soldier Belese: Are you ready?
Baron Boruza: Let's change places first. I'm afraid I'll be seen.
Kane: [There's no need to be so mysterious.] Looks like there's a ghost. 〕
Baron Boruza: It should be safe here.
That's what you're looking for.
Soldier Belese: Thank you. The Counts of the Baroque would have been very pleased with this.
Kane: (Wasn't the Count of the Baroque a close confidant of the Pope he saw that time?) )
Soldier Belese: Thanks to you, we can get things. And this can also wipe out all the remnants of the Dark Order
Baron Boruza: You're so kind. I really don't want to be a lackey of the Dark Order anymore. I would also like to thank the Baroque: adults don't care about the past.
Soldier Belese: Within a few days, the Count will give the order to wipe out the Dark Order. Until then, you will be sent to a safe place.
Soldier Belese: Now, then, get out of here.
Kane: I'm sorry it looks like you're never going to get out of here.
Baron Boruza: Someone is following
Kane: You're a little less vigilant, right?
Baron Boruza: Did someone from the Dark Order tell you to kill me?
Kane: yes. If you have any last words, say them quickly.
Baron Boruza: Hmph, just got a knighthood and started to be so arrogant! It's you, kid, who are going to leave the last words, not us!
Baron Boruza: I can't just die
Kane (Return to the Order and report back to Master Ferosepni.) )??? : I can't even deal with that kind of imp
However, now that you have the things, you don't need to worry about them.
Now I hope that everything will go according to plan.
Ferosepny: How's it going? What about the Baron?
Kane: I've disposed of it.
Ferosepuni: Yes. I really didn't expect him to be a traitor
But now I can finally rest assured. Well done, Kane :.
Kane: Nothing.
Ferosepuni: If it weren't for you, something would have happened this time.
This is a special reward for you, so take it.
Kane: Ah, thank you.
Philosepuni: Oh? Kane: You're going to say thank you, too?
It's always been a straight face, saying what is not, obeying orders, and so on
Now I can say thank you~ hehe. Is there any psychological change?
Kane: That's not the case
Ferosepuni: Huh. Anyway, it's been a hard time for you this time. Lord Belendo will be pleased, too.
You should be tired too, right? Let's go back and get some rest.
Kane: Got it.
Kane: It's a bit overwhelming to have so many things happen all of a sudden, but luckily it's all resolved now.
Kane: Hmm. That's my life. Be loyal to the Dark Order and complete various missions for the Order
Kane: I'm a little tired, so let's go get some rest before we head back to the Holy Knights.
Pope Erosworth: According to the plan, tomorrow you will give a speech in the Capital Square to announce the war against Ellen.
Eulcia: War? What's going on?
Now that I'm back in the Empire, there's no reason to go to war again, right?
Pope Elossworth: It doesn't really matter if you don't come back.
I've got a copy of the speech ready for you. It is a detailed account of the evil deeds you have seen since you were kidnapped by Aleni.
Pope Elossworth: Tomorrow you just have to read it out as you always do.
Yuxia: But that's not true. Aleni didn't
Pope Erosworth: Facts or not don't matter so much anymore. What we need is an excuse.
POPE EROSWORTH: I have announced that tomorrow the Holy Maiden will speak. I'll leave it all to you.
Eustia: Me
