NOVEL NEXT chapter 139
139 – Messengers
The crown prince’s first words as he sat down on the sofa were concise.
It was absurd that news had been cut off for so long, and he brought up an unheard of topic as if nothing had happened.
“The Fifth Holy Sword has awakened again. “Do you know?”
“How on earth do I know that?”
“What are you going to do with the Second Holy Sword? “If I had a holy sword, I would have felt it.”
“that? I handed it over to Anastasia right away. Am I crazy? “I wonder if that still exists.”
“… … “Anastasia?”
“The news is late. “I guess the Crown Prince is not getting proper information since he was kicked out of the Imperial Palace?”
When I shrugged my shoulders and said it was ridiculous, the crown prince frowned and exhaled the smoke from his cigarette.
“… … Third Holy Sword. Did you know that Anastasia became the owner of the Holy Sword?”
“what? “Didn’t I tell you?”
“… … … … .”
“… … … … .”
“… Damn it. “Then coming to Neferna itself was a problem.”
“okay! That’s right! “I’m finally getting to the point.”
I sighed and continued. I feel bad for having to explain this one by one.
“Now, I am an ordinary person who has nothing to do with things like warriors, holy swords, snow fields, emperors, etc. You were the ones who attacked a person enjoying a leisurely vacation late at night and smashed one wall of the villa. and… … ”
He walked over to the sofa that had been bothering him all along and grabbed Freyja’s wrist, who had been secretly suppressing her expression.
As soon as the crown prince entered the villa, he very naturally took the seat next to Freya, but Freya was unable to come to her senses due to the strong smell of cigars. Just as Professor Aegis was about to say something, I made the first move.
“uh… ? Eugene… ?”
I pushed Freyja, who was embarrassed with wide eyes, onto the seat across from me, and I took the seat next to the crown prince instead.
Freya, why is he looking at me with such burdensome eyes?
Feeling embarrassed, I grumbled and scolded the crown prince.
“Seeing that they are sitting next to a non-smoker and spitting out cigarette smoke, it seems like their parents did not educate them… hmm? No. Is it a problem because I received it?”
“… If I didn’t like it, I would have said it. “What are you doing without asking her what she wants?”
“Against the crown prince?”
“That too.”
“If you’ve been getting kicked so hard for five years, isn’t it time to realize that there’s a problem with you?”
Instead of answering, the spicy smoke from the cigar rose.
… Don’t spit on me.
“Anyway, when you mentioned the past five years when you got dumped, it occurred to me again, what did you just say? The Fifth Holy Sword has been reawakened? “Who is the owner?”
“I do not know.”
“Doesn’t the lady know?”
Whirling, three or four forks came back with magical power, so I was preparing to dodge, but a fist-sized ball of fire and a stream of water knocked down the forks one after another. After all, they are my disciples. Be lovely.
The Third Holy Sword hero clicked his tongue and said unwillingly.
“We came all the way here together, but both I and that b*stard are being chased. “It means there was no time to talk about this or that.”
“Then ma’am…” “I guess the Third Holy Sword knows it well.”
“okay. That’s why she herself dragged heavy steps and came all the way here to warn us. “It’s because of that old man.”
“The chairman… ?”
She continued speaking while roughly rubbing the blade of the Third Holy Sword with the leather.
“squadron.”
“what? bedbug?”
“Hero of the 5th Holy Sword of Sentai. “That b*stard you know.”
Spirit Magic, Chapter Winter No. 3. Wide silence.
Freezes sound using magic cast without chanting.
“『Below the gap, in the mirage, eavesdrop on the whispers』”
Double casting. I cast illusion magic to hallucinate others.
Because it was a magic built reflexively, a crude part of the margin remained.
A wizard of Undine’s caliber would be able to see right through this, but to others, it would look like we were just exchanging lame jokes.
The reason for suddenly casting a silencing spell and an illusion was simple. This was because it would have been difficult for anyone other than Undine to hear the conversation.
I couldn’t control my expression and muttered with a bug-bitten expression.
“… “I would have killed that b*stard.”
“It’s alive. “Why don’t you ask the crown prince over there?”
“… … “Is it true?”
“First of all, as she said, there is life. She helped rehabilitate him in Hwangseong. However, it is also true that you suffered fatal injuries so serious that you could not recover at the time. I understand that she was not in a body that could at least hold the holy sword… Third Holy Sword. “Where did you get the information you heard?”
“It would be His Majesty’s role to do that.”
The conversation between the two was barely audible.
“master.”
“… … … … .”
“I will go.”
Undine said that with transparent yet calm eyes.
Where boisterous laughter erupted, the hero of the Third Holy Sword was laughing frivolously.
“Hahaha! Come to think of it, that guy was your enemy, right? Still, Arthur. No matter how old he is, he is a warrior at his core. I know that the blood relative girl there is strong, but it’s not worth attacking her carelessly… ”
“I already knew that the Third Holy Sword hero was smart and stayed away from magic, but I didn’t know that he would forget something that only a few years have passed. “He must have seen with his own eyes how he got to that point.”
“These guys these days, even if you give them a warning, it’s damned… … ”
She clicked her tongue as if she was dumbfounded.
Of course, we both knew that reacting individually would only be a waste of time.
“Undine.”
“Yes, new moon.”
“Take Ignis. It won’t be difficult for the two of us to find someone. Just find the location and report it to me. But don’t kill him.”
“Would you say this even if you had the chance? Undine will correct past mistakes.”
“mistake? … What are you talking about. “Maybe it’s an opportunity.”
“… … If you say so… .”
“It’s your last chance, Undine. I have to kill it properly this time. “At least I won’t see that b*stard alive.”
“sighe… master. … master… … . ha… After all, you are my master… ”
Undine’s eyes were beautifully curved like a crescent moon.
Her cool voice lacks the usual playfulness.
“『Cut the border, add a cross section, a cornerstone of the space that existed along one axis. Illusions that have lost their power to true vision will soon become separated realities, showing the small edge of the other world.』”
While Undine’s magic was being stocked, I asked a question that had bothered me all along.
“I have one last question for you. … … “Why on earth did you attack me?”
“He said he wanted to see how rusty you were.”
The answer flowed from the crown prince’s mouth instead.
“Hmm. so? Ah… “What does that aunt know?”
“So what’s the point? “Little one.”
The Third Holy Sword hero leisurely tilted his head. However, contrary to his confident expression, I could see him clicking his tongue belatedly as if he had no intention of doing so.
Perhaps she had already sensed that Undine was not free when she recited the chant. Although she did not know magic, her animal senses were unrivaled.
Undine’s magic awaits the final signal. The Third Holy Sword glared at me and spoke for the last time.
“Neferna. … “I still don’t trust you.”
“Hmm.”
“yet? Puhaha! It’s a mistake. Of course, that won’t happen in the future. It seems like that old man is trying his best to save you, but you’re just a disaster. You should know that. This is separate from my not participating in the emperor’s plan. … No, if I were to put it bluntly, it would be correct to say that you are essentially no different from that emperor.”
“… … … .”
“Even if Crown Prince Sari here pretends to be neutral and acts arrogant, he won’t be much different as a warrior. “You need to know that.”
match.
“Oh, that’s it. The hero of the Third Holy Sword. “You are so rude to your master.”
Undine’s graceful clapping.
A clear sound spread out as if it was no longer worth listening to.
And the space becomes distorted.
Although I frowned at the nauseating feeling unique to space-time magic, I increased the output of the illusion I had cast beforehand and adjusted it so that it would not affect others.
When the darkened vision regained light, the first to speak was Professor Aegis, who was looking around with blank eyes.
“… what? Why am I here… ..?”
“Iknow, right. I think something happened just now… ”
“Haha… It’s cold… … ”
“Lin. Come over here. “My tail is warm.”
“Thank you, sister… ”
“There’s a hole in one of the walls.”
They had forgotten that two warriors had visited this place. Although manipulating memories is something I don’t really want to do, this was the only way that came to mind.
I came up with a suitable excuse.
“… … “Undine broke it and ran away.”
“Are you talking about Undine? “I’m going to get scolded.”
I’m sorry, Undine.
“… … … “Cecelia.”
“yes. teacher.”
“Can I touch your tail just once?”
“Are you anxious? All right.”
“… “If you say that, it’s like I’m touching your tail every time I’m anxious.”
“… “Are you not touching me?”
I’ll touch it first though.
