How the Shadow of the Marquis Lives

Chapter 103

Pamela laughed awkwardly.

“I was thinking of taking a walk for a while.”

I didn’t know if I could laugh well. Looking at Xian, it was hard to bear the twisting of his stomach and his distorted face.

It was already like that when it came to attracting the attention of the Dragon King, but he even revealed his identity on this journey.

I don’t know what the hell he did, but because of roasting and boiling Hector and sending him as a spy.

It was fatal for her.

You lose everything you built up. The position he had built up in the Purification Church, his colleagues, and his memories.

Even time with my sister.

“Is it a walk while knocking out the vigil?”

“I’m fainting, I don’t know?”

“Everyone else saw it, but what?”

When Xian snapped her fingers, people appeared around her. Anger and Hector. The two stood around Pamela.

“Honestly, I was dubious… … Seeing this kind of sudden action, I can’t help but doubt it.”

Yeomno said with a firm expression.

“Because it’s real. Grandpa should have suspected that woman, not me!”

“You are still subject to suspicion.”

“Sheesh!”

After throwing a word at the grumbling Hector, Yeomno looked at Pamela again.

Black gloves were already worn on his hands. It meant perfect combat readiness.

“… … .”

Pamela looked around.

Yeomno, Hector, Xian. All three are master level skills. As long as they were besieged by such people, the way to escape seemed distant.

“You can’t catch me.”

Pamela raised her sword.

Xian saw something familiar on the nape of her neck. reverse. The thing that had also grown on Andras’s neck was growing on hers.

‘They said he was an apostle, so it seems he was able to hide it.’

Andras couldn’t hide it on his own. That’s why I was hiding it with a medical bandage.

She seems to be able to hide.

So, he must have been spying for the Purification Church until now.

“Dragon armor.”

The scales started sprouting from that yeokrin. It grew over her skin and over her armor, enveloping her tightly.

In an instant, she clad in dragon armor and raised her sword.

The two-handed sword that was supposed to be held with both hands was lightly wielded with one hand, as if swinging a tree branch.

Immediately, white light emanated from the sword. A light aura that comes out when you learn the sacred swordsmanship of the Purification Church. However, black energy began to mix there.

Light and darkness mix without mixing like water and oil.

she swung her sword

“young master!”

Yeomno jumped in front of Xian and blocked it. At that moment, Hector struck Pamela in the back. Xian also swung a spear to slash her, avoiding the swordsman.

Kwakwagwagwagwang!

The various energy of the four people entangled, and the heavens and the earth vibrated.

In the thick dust rising, Xian’s eyes caught a glimpse of Pamela in the smoke.

“Tsk.”

Xian clicked his tongue and ran without delay. He swung his sword to scatter the dust.

In it, Pamela created a summoning circle by combining the energy of black and white. There, a large wyvern appeared that could be called a small dragon, much larger than the one that had attacked the academy the other day.

she flew up

“catch!”

Flames of insanity covered the sky, and Hector’s thunderbolt spear pierced its center.

Xian jumped up and drew a large sword. Heavenly Sword, indeed.

aaang!

Pamela’s eyes turned red. Having received the power of the Demon Dragon King, she generously exploded that energy and scattered all attacks.

Cool. Blood flowed from her mouth.

But thanks to her, the wyvern she rode was able to soar high into the sky.

“sh*t!”

Did you mean this by not being able to catch it?

No matter how much this party is, the difference in mobility is something they can’t help.

If it was just running away on horseback, he would chase them to the end of the continent, but wyvern was a completely different matter.

“Sian Agrid.”

The strong wind from the fluttering wings of the Wyvern was pushing away the soil and trees in the area.

In the middle, Sian looked up at Pamela. His eyebrows twitched.

“My sister has nothing to do with me. I swear by myself and my king.”

“… … .”

Xian didn’t answer.

She opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something more, but then closed it.

Then he rode a wyvern and disappeared over the night sky.

“Do, young boy!”

“What happened? Captain!”

Hearing the commotion belatedly, knights and priests came running. They came late, but they saw everything to see.

The way Pamela uses her turbid energy to summon a wyvern, riding it, and disappearing into the western sky.

Between them, Xian frowned.

This trip was a success. He razed the Dark Magic Tower in the Vendel estate and destroyed the plot they were plotting with the giants before they even started.

He also killed Eden, the branch leader of the Dark Magic Tower. He is said to have been an apostle of the lord of Haeryunggung.

But missing Pamela was painful.

‘If only I had been more prepared.’

I couldn’t catch it. If only he had been half-sure and prepared, rather than just using Hector to monitor when he was suspicious.

If so, I wouldn’t have missed it.

“Let’s go back. We have a lot to talk about when we go.”

Xian turned around.

Pamela already missed. It is impossible to track him down only with the horses the party rode.

Even if you come up with a way to track down the wyvern, Pamela will already be gone by that time.

“What will you do, Young Master?”

“Return to the territory as planned, and then.”

Pamela’s identity. The first place to talk about it is, of course, there.

“I need to talk to Claude Topzoo.”

Claude, who was said to be a member of the Cheondo League. I needed to see him again.

* * *

returned to the manor Hearing Pamela’s work, Shamilla was shocked. I shouted not to lie, but there were too many witnesses.

“ah… … .”

Not only the knights, but also the priests were talking about it, so even if I didn’t want to believe it, I couldn’t help but believe it.

Shamilla locked herself in her room. Chesha was comforting her, but there was nothing she could do about it.

“… … First of all, I talked to Meng. A chase will follow.”

Claude said with a worried face. He never imagined that a high-ranking figure within the Cheondo League, and that of the leader of the Knights of the Order of Jeonghwa, was a spy.

“It’s not that I don’t believe in Confucius, but it’s really surprising.”

“Was she that devout?”

“Rather… … The fact that you ran away like that, leaving your sister behind.”

Hearing that reminded me of Pamela’s last words. To swear by the king’s name.

“Saying that… … .”

“It’s a matter for you to decide whether to believe her words or not.”

There was no basis for determining whether Shamilla was really unrelated.

It was Chesha who was currently spending the most time with her, and I attached Ravi to Chesha to watch him, but there was no reaction.

Is Pamela’s oath true? … .

By the way, when reporting this incident to the family head.

“Did you see the giant?”

he asked so Yeomno heard Eden shouting about the giant, so the story flowed to the family head.

‘I’m not asking what the word ‘giant’ means, I’m asking if you’ve seen a giant.’

The family head’s question was very natural.

As if he knew of the giant’s existence from the beginning.

‘I wouldn’t have thought it would be in the Vendel estate.’

It seemed that he already knew that the sealed giant still remained in this world.

“yes. When I saw it, it had lost its power and was already turning into powder and disappearing.”

That he asked to be killed, and that’s why he killed him. He also hid everything he retrieved the heart from.

Of course, about the existence of Nemesis he talked about.

Xian’s report to the householder was really only a short-circuited part.

“Let’s keep quiet about that for a while.”

“… … All right.”

Hearing the mutilation order, Xian withdrew from the office of Yeongju Castle.

As he closed the door and came out, Xi’an’s eyes sank.

‘For the time being, Ira… … .’

I felt a strange sense of incongruity in the words of the family head.

A few more days passed after that, and more knights from the Order of Purification came. Shamilla left the estate with them.

Make sure to read from noble mtl dot com

Just in case, Claude was attached as an escort. The idea that Pamela might raid in the middle to take Shamilla.

“I’m gone.”

“I know.”

All the guests have left and only the original people remain in the manor.

In the quiet estate, Xi’an recalled what happened during vacation.

what you’ve gained so far.

It was confirmed that he could fight on an equal footing with the original Hector, who had been given the power of the Thunderbolt God. It meant that his power could work well enough for the Master as well.

‘I haven’t opened the mental world yet.’

Even so, that was possible because of what he had learned while encountering the Demon Dragon King.

In addition, he filled the shackles of the descending thunderbolt lord, and absorbed some of his energy to obtain a thunderclap.

The thunder name itself was just enough to have one more usable artifact. However, the thing that tied the Celestial Spirit was great.

‘Because even if he can’t do it, he can become a master.’

It is said that he has become much weaker than his original body in hell, but he is still stronger than the original Hector.

I was able to manipulate such a guy at will.

Above all.

‘My person, not the person of the state.’

That was the biggest gain. Even if it was a relationship bound by the laws of hell, not by loyalty like the knights.

And one last thing.

heart of a giant.

– pounding.

I can still hear my heart beating loudly.

The mana obtained from the giant’s heart was very different from his own mana.

Unlike his own mana, which flows freely, splits, and merges, the giant’s mana is very hard.

It did not move as freely as human mana, and had the property of continuing to sink if left alone.

But it was heavy and solid.

‘… … .’

training ground. Xian swung the sword alone.

Heavenly Sword, indeed.

A sword containing the giant’s mana sweeps through the parade ground.

Du-du-du-du-!

The air shuddered and the ground cracked as if an earthquake had struck.

‘I need to learn how to control this energy.’

It’s difficult to handle, but it’s definitely powerful.

Xian only filled the rest of the vacation period with training.

He sparred with Yeomno every day.

Before entering the academy, the two of them had been doing it alone in a small mansion.

But now it was different.

“Young Master, please do something!”

While sparring with Yeomno, knights in training came and intervened.

Starting with Andy, the other knights also developed a good liking for Xian.

Wilfried also came to share swords with him from time to time when he was not working, and Chesha also came from time to time.

One day, two days, three days… … time goes by.

“young master. You are leaving again.”

“I have to go because vacation is over.”

“Youngji will be lonely. It felt crowded thanks to the young master.”

“It can’t be that I have one.”

Vacation is over. At the entrance of the lord’s castle, Xi’an was sent off by Yeomno.

“however… … Do I have to take him with me?”

Yeomno looked at Xian’s side with narrow eyes.

There, Hector was wearing the same butler uniform.

He touched the tie that was tightly tightened to the end of his neck as if it was uncomfortable.
