Chapter Eighty-Five: Passage

Wu Qiu looked at his friend as if he had become a stranger in amazement. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

He was completely reminded of long-forgotten memories.

Wu Qiu doesn't remember the name Buckfere Delawade very well, but the nickname "Sword King of Steel" is like thunder.

Anyone who wields a sword will know this name.

To the northwest of the Bellabet region, there were three prosperous kingdoms, and coincidentally, each of them had a master with a sword.

The Great General of the Kingdom of Glen Loton, the Sword Saint of the Sky - Andy Lesden.

King of the Kingdom of Nozimir, Emperor of the Sword of Carving - Reinved Charlesine Meninas.

and, Prince of the Kingdom of Kenesia, King of Steelblade, Buckferre Delawade.

Buckfere Delawarde, a commoner-born magister, was seventeen years old when he participated in the tennial Magister Tournament held by the Kingdom of Kenesia, and won the championship in one fell swoop.

Buckfere was appreciated by the king and became the general in charge of the garrison of the royal city, and two years later fell in love with the second princess of the kingdom, and after the two married, became the prince of the kingdom of Kennedia.

During this period, Buckfere made countless feats, drove away powerful monsters that invaded the royal capital, and participated in the resistance of friendly countries against the western power Tiberion Empire, successfully repelled the invasion of the empire, and his reputation further expanded.

Wu Qiu once longed for the other party, Buckfere was about the same age as him, and it was said that he was still a handsome man, with luck that he didn't have, and everything he didn't have, and he reached the peak of his life in a short time.

However, Wu Qiu was just thinking about it, the Steel Sword King Buckfere was so far away from him that he didn't even know what the other party looked like, it was purely used as an after-dinner conversation with others.

Others have other people's luck, Wu Qiu has his own life, he never thought that a person rescued on the road would be such a big man.

Lin Yuan's feeling was as surprised as Wu Qiu, he never thought that the man in front of him would be the famous Steel Sword King.

In fact, the reputation of the three sword-wielding masters of the three kingdoms has not yet spread to the earth, and they are still inferior to those truly famous strategic-level magisters.

The reason why Lin Yuan was familiar with the other party's origin was mainly because the Steel Sword King was a related member of the Kenesia Kingdom and a member of the royal family.

To be precise, it was because of Alice Valbard, the third princess of the Kenesian Kingdom, and the magic transplanter related to the Vientiane Research Society, that Lin Yuan would collect this information.

After Lin Yuan learned that Alice was a magic transplanter, and after knowing that she was an accomplice who released monsters within the scope of the school she attended, Lin Yuan had been quietly paying attention to the other party's movements and collecting information about her country.

According to the information provided by the Star Seal Society, the Varba royal family of the Kingdom of Kennedia has been closely related to the Vientiane Research Society in recent years, and they don't know what mysterious transactions are being carried out in secret.

Lin Yuan can be sure that whether it is a transaction or being forced, the relationship between the Valba royal family and the Vientiane Research Society must not be simple, otherwise Her Royal Highness a princess would not help terrorists carry out terrorist attacks.

"Strange...... I haven't heard that you, the Prince, have left the Kingdom of Kennessia?"

Lin Yuan looked at Buckfere's handsome face, everything the other party said was the truth, he didn't tell a single lie, this man was indeed the Steel Sword King himself.

"As far as I know, Prince Delawarde was present in front of the crowd at the State Celebration a month ago, and with members of the royal family...... So, what's going on?"

Hearing this, Buckfere's expression darkened, and he struggled with his brow for a long time, and let out a long sigh.

"The Royal House of Valbar...... Already controlled by someone else......"

Buckfere's expression became hideous in an instant.

"It's the Vientiane Society! They control the royal family, they control His Majesty!"

Lin Yuan's expression became quite exciting, the two were not a cooperative relationship, but unilaterally dominated, which he really didn't think about.

"What the hell is this? The deeds of the Vientiane Research Society can really be heard everywhere...... They're veritable-stirring sticks......"

Lin Yuan muttered a few words, shook his head, and then looked back at Buckfere, who was kneeling on one knee.

"Buckfere, you're actually very lucky, we also happen to have a very deep grudge with the Vientiane Research Institute here, in short, tell me the details of the love first. ”

Buckfere saw Lin Yuan wave his hand and let himself stand up, he bowed his head respectfully again and slowly stood up.

Buckferi's mouth opened and closed, but he didn't say a word.

He secretly spied on Lin Yuan's expression and saw that the other party was not impatient for the time being, but because of the absolute order of the oath, he would have to tell the truth sooner or later.

Then Buckfere gritted his teeth and uttered the first words.

"I ...... I'll just wrap it up...... The reason why I ended up in this place, the reason why I am cursed...... It's all me...... It's all my wife's doing...... She secretly planted a curse on me one day...... I lost the strength to resist......"

Lin Yuan was not surprised this time, if the entire Valba royal family was controlled, this was an inevitable thing.

The most suitable person to be able to secretly cast a curse on a high-ranking magus with the nickname of Fullmetal Sword King without him even realizing it is the person closest to him.

The second princess of the Valba royal family, Bakefaere's wife, Eleina Valbar, is undoubtedly the most suitable candidate.

"But something unexpected must have happened, or you would have died in the morning, instead of standing here alive and well. ”

Buckfere nodded slightly to admit Lin Yuan's words, he did escape at the last moment.

"At that time, I was still very confused, I knew that His Majesty the King had colluded with the criminal organization of the Vientiane Research Society, but if it was for the prosperity of the country, there was no way to do it...... But I couldn't be worse than how they had the audacity to control the entire royal family......"

Buckfere, with a pained expression, recounted what had happened.

It was in the early hours of one morning, Buckfere, who had been asleep, was suddenly awakened by the pain in his body, and he found that his body had changed, his hair began to fall out rapidly, and his face grew purple-blue sarcoma, and his whole person became unrecognizable.

Just when he was about to call for help, he couldn't even make a sound, and the magic in his body was suppressed, and he could only collapse weakly on the ground.

Just when he thought he was going to die like this, his wife, Elena, appeared.

With a grim expression, Alina gripped her sharp dagger and approached the immobile Buckfere.

Buckfere immediately understood that his wife had done everything.

"My wife...... Ellie her...... She had been keeping an eye on my every move, and she should have dealt me a fatal blow when she saw me incapacitated, but ...... Ellie came to her senses at the last minute!"

Perhaps seeing her husband's painful appearance, Alina threw down her dagger at the last moment, and began to hold her head in pain, moaning incessantly.

Then, Elena's expression was no longer cold, and she picked up her husband with tears on her face and quickly told all the secrets.

“...... Ellie said everything, she said that Her Majesty had been mentally controlled by the Vientiane Research Society, and had done the same with the other members of the royal family...... Although she is temporarily sober now, she will lose control again at any time......"

Buckfere's voice was a mixture of anger and grief.

According to Elena, the Vientiane Institute had actually tried to mentally control Buckfere, but because of his magical properties, their control was ineffective, so they had to get rid of him.

"She asked me to flee at once, as far away as possible, so that I could find help to solve the royal family's problems...... Ellie couldn't completely lift my true curse, only a part of it...... But that's enough for me to escape from the royal capital......"

After escaping from the royal capital, Buckfere originally planned to go to the rescue of the city generals in other places, although his appearance changed drastically and he could not speak, he was still able to write and convey the message.

However, he discovers the whereabouts of "himself" before arriving in another city.

When Buckfere saw his wife and a man who looked very much like him making a close tour of the city, he immediately dismissed any intention of showing up.

It seems that the Vientiane Research Society has already discovered the disappearance of Buckfere, so it has prepared the next move in advance, and prepared an identical stand-in.

Buckfere knew that he could no longer turn to people in the country, and whether others believed him or not, he would end up being enemies of the Vientiane Society, and even the entire royal family, and he needed to turn to more powerful people for help.

He chose to move abroad, looking for assistance from nearby countries.

However, because of his ugly appearance, no matter how much he tried to hide his whereabouts, he was still very eye-catching, so before leaving the Kingdom of Kennedia, he was discovered by the enemy in the wilderness of the mountains.

A fierce battle unfolded.

Even with the curse on his body, Buckfere's strength is still strong, and the idle people are not his opponents, and the more than ten magisters who besiege him can't stop him, and just before he is about to escape from the encirclement, Alina appears in the rear.

This became the key to the battle.

Instead of participating in the fight, Alina put a sharp blade on her neck.

The purpose of the Vientiane Research Society is simple, they threaten Buckfere with Elena's life.

In desperation, Buckfere had no choice but to stop, knowing that if he did escape, Alina would die here today.

The Vientiane Research Society is serious, even if this second princess dies, they will come up with a stand-in, which is a very simple matter for them who control the entire royal family.

Buckfere had no intention of surrendering, knowing that if he did give up completely, it would be all over.

Buckfere tries to get close and rescue his wife, but every time he gets closer, Alina begins to self-harm, making him even more restrained.

And then ...... The man named Nayuta appeared......"

Lin Yuan found the news of his acquaintance and listened more carefully.

As soon as Nayuta appeared, he cut off one of Alina's arms.

He then confronts a furious Buckfere and demands that he kill himself.

Buckfere, of course, would not rest on his laurels, but when he resisted, Nayuta did not hesitate to cut off Alina's other arm.

"I don't have a choice...... I can't let Ellie die like this......"

Buckfere, who had no other way, committed suicide with his sword, of course, this was just a trick, although he pierced his heart with his sword, but he was not really dead.

As he penetrated his body, he pretended to be unable to support his body, and fell down the cliff, narrowly surviving and successfully escaping the search of the Vientiane Research Society.

In the end, Buckfere is not dead, but his heart is dry.

He knew that if he resisted, only the people he loved the most would be hurt, and even if he asked for help from other forces, it would definitely not end well.

Even if it is exposed, there is no guarantee that all the people will believe that in the worst-case scenario, it may develop into a civil war in the country, or even a war between countries.

He can't just say everything.

"If they don't find my body, if they don't confirm that I'm really dead, they won't give up...... Absolutely all means will be ready...... And I'm ...... But I can't think of a way to do it......"

Confused, Buckfere traveled south, through two countries, until he came to the midst of the city-state of chaos.

The dazed Buckfere was attacked by a large group of monsters one day, and after reluctantly retreating the monsters, he was also seriously injured, and then met Wu Qiu, who happened to pass by.

"At that time, I didn't want to think about anything anymore, so I wandered around with Ah Qiu and hunted monsters for a living...... Until yesterday......"

Wu Qiu saw his partner's painful expression and gently patted Buckfere's shoulder.

Lin Yuan nodded, he knew Buckfere's confusion and pain very well, and he felt it very clearly, the other party's powerless self-blame was not the slightest bit false.

"I see...... Is the whole royal family under mind control? No wonder Princess Alice would do this......

Buckfere heard Lin Yuan's self-talk, but he frowned.

"Lord Arcana...... Why do you say that? Princess Alice is ......."

“...... Huh?" Lin Yuan felt a hint of contradiction, and immediately looked up at Buckfere.

Buckfere continued.

“...... Princess Alice died of illness a year ago. ”
