CHAPTER XV
Under the silent night sky, the thriving woods are exceptionally quiet. The breeze blows through every leaf, making it pleasant. At this time, two agile shadows were shuttling through the dense forest.
"This mission failed, and the boss is very angry. He said you deserve your name, genius?" The man in white and the mask on his face pulled the man in black to jump and gallop between the branches.
The genius gritted his teeth, using the mid-level recovery magic to restore every wound on his body, and shouted, "That guy is very strange, originally the same as waste. But later, I don't know how to change as if I was a different person, and I also exuded the breath of a dragon. He still couldn't forget the scene just now, and the burning anger burned in Theodore's eyes. If it weren't for the top-notch magic that the organization boss used to teleport people out from a distance, maybe the genius would have died here.
The man in white sneered and asked, "Don't talk like this in the future, this time I fell a big way." The boss sent me over to say you're going to be fine. The boss also commanded, and the army was about to arrive. As soon as we get back, we will prepare to go out with Culest's army."
The genius wondered, "Send an army, do you need to make such a big move?" The man in white patted him on the head and responded, "You'll know when the time comes, don't ask more." โ
โHerbert Manor
After a battle just now, there were not many losses except for a large crater in the yard. Theodore, who fainted, lay on the bed, while the wounded Alan used healing magic to ease the wound a lot. Christine and Alice sat on either side of Theodore, waiting for Theodore to wake up with a worried expression.
"Two young ladies, it's late. Rest early, we've got you covered. A maid walked up to Alice's side and said, and Alice looked up at the window. It was already late at night, but Alice was worried. Hold Theodore's hand tightly, and so does Christine.
"You go back and rest first, it's good to have me with you here" Alice turned her head and smiled, and the maid sighed and turned around and walked out of the room.
Christine's eyes moistened, and her head was buried in the palm of his hand. I prayed that Theodore would be okay and wake up soon. Theodore was an indispensable person to Christine, and she had long regarded him as her own brother. Orcs don't lie, and when they are cared for by others, they will treat them wholeheartedly.
Alan Hillman, the gray-haired old butler, was topless at the moment, and his upper body was already bandaged. He sat alone in a small dark room with a bottle of wine, and from time to time he picked up the bottle and took a sip. Judging by this fight, Alan Hillman is old. He could no longer pick up the glorious knight's sword to fight, and the scenery of the past was long gone. The most important thing is that the young master, who swore to protect with his life, fought alone in order to protect himself, an old man.
Eren is selfish, because he actually forgot his oath when he was covered in wounds. It should not be himself who should go, but Theodore Herbert. And now he can only sit alone in a small dark room, holding a bottle of wine in his hand to relieve his sorrows and blame himself.
Theodore was in his mind at the moment, flipping through the pages of the book with Clara. From the time Theodore fainted to the time he entered the psychic world and saw Clara, the two did not say a word, Theodore Herbert was a little shy in Clara's arms at that time, and Clara was angry because she was beaten back.
"Well, did I do anything then?" said Theodore, breaking the silence and opening his mouth first. Clara replied with a nonchalant look, "I forgot, what could I do at that time?" After hearing this, Theodore's heart, which had been hanging, could be regarded as hanging, and his face stretched.
"Good work, Miss Clara. Helped me with this" Theodore smiled and thanked him, and Clara became annoyed and the bruises on her forehead burst out. Originally, I thought that this possession would be able to snatch the dominance of the body at one time, but I didn't expect another force in Theodore's body to restrain it. Clara just lost her wife and lost her soldiers, not only consuming and wasting her magic power. was also beaten back into the body, and the loss was not half a star.
"You're still selling it if you get a bargain?" Clara gave him a blank look, threw the book into the distance, and said again, "I'll heal your wounds, and I'll help you win." You don't have a reward for me?"
"What reward do you want?" Theodore wondered
"If only you let me beat you," Clara smiled harmlessly, her fists clenched tightly.
Theodore panicked and hurriedly stood up to run away. But Clara had gathered enough strength to vent her frustration, and when he got up to run, a giant hand smashed down on his side. Theodore's footsteps stopped, and cold sweat continued to flow. When he turned slightly, a pair of eyes were staring at him. Theodore's mouth twitched slightly, and he shouted
"Help!!!!"
- The Court of Neutrality
The Court of Neutrality was a united nation formed during the Second World War by the best of the Four-Nation Alliance. It is located in the middle of the Church States of Pfister, Culest, Codiano and Io. In the Second Race War, nations emerged with the power of the legendary twelve gods. Hence the name "oracles", and the Aeo-Ectuary states proposed that each country contribute some territory to be merged. Divine envoys from various countries were sent here as representatives of each country to mediate the struggle between the three countries. The Io-O Church State, on the other hand, acts as an armed representative of the Neutral Tribunal to carry out the decisions made by the Neutral Tribunal.
Inside an ancient castle, twelve men in black cloaks and holding a cross in their hands sit around a round wooden table. The interior is very eerie, with images of gods and candle stands made of skeletons hanging on the walls, and the interior is very gray. On either side of the two wooden gates, guards dressed in plate armor with a knight's sword hanging from their waists stood solemnly.
"Is there anything you would like to say about the struggle between Culster and Pfister? The man sitting in the center of the round table suddenly said, this person is the representative of the Io-O Church State and the president of the entire Neutral Tribunal, whose name is unknown.
"I believe that my country has always been based on the idea of peace, and the so-called struggle. Why don't you ask the Pfister representatives?" said one of the Culests, in a somewhat sarcastic tone.
"Speaker of the Parliament, Pfister was once the main force in the Four-Nation Alliance. It has mobilized more than half of the country's strength to gather a full 300,000 young people, and now there is a serious shortage of labor due to the war. The country is stepping up its economic recovery, how can it provoke a war. And I've heard that Cullust had forced my country to cede territory by force in exchange for peace. Is this still in line with the oath of the alliance in the first place?" replied Delegate Pfister, glaring at Representative Culest.
When the council president saw this scene, he picked up the wooden hammer on the table and knocked on the table a few times, signaling several people to calm down. Then he said, "The Io-O Church has also sent people to the two countries to learn about this matter, and both sides have answered different questions. But one thing is still relatively the same, they all say that it is self-defense and counterattack. So, that's what the Church of Io means. To mediate the current armed struggle between the two sides, the two sides will sit down and have a good talk. โ
Several of Pfister's representatives got together and talked about it, and they all nodded in agreement. Culest, however, did not speak, and the three representatives of Codiano, who were silent, suddenly said, "Codiano resolutely defends the interests of all countries and agrees with the decision of the speaker of parliament." After the representative of Codiano finished speaking, the representatives of Culestt and Pfister were all stunned. Because both sides received the news that Codiano's representatives would support Culest, it turned out that the sudden arrival of both sides began to be confused.
The Speaker picked up his hammer and struck it, "Okay, then the bill on Culester and Pfister is passed." Next up is the motion on Codiano's march into the Great Forest of Gaia. โ
