I Can See Your Code

I see your code (61)

Theodore was brought in about 10 minutes after that. The reason why the expression that I was dragged even though I came on my own feet is appropriate because the expression on her face was so distorted that it was difficult to describe in words.

“… … What kind of race is that?”

“What was the ordeal?”

Ryan raised his hand without answering Theodore’s question. Consi flew over it and sat down. I didn’t even know why it was so natural. As soon as I looked at my hand, my wings moved.

– The ordeal of nightmares. It’s an ordeal that makes you dream of the things you don’t want to go through the most.

“It’s worth knowing.”

Rihanna laughed bitterly.

“It must have been a dream of being caught by the chase. Because under the current circumstances, it would be worse than dying.”

Argon, to which Theodore belongs, has the strictest laws of the three kingdoms. Calpheon centered on wizards, and the Gelian Union, which is actually a tribal group. Because there was a fundamental difference between the two.

In Calpheon, humans are consumables. From the point of view of a wizard, commoners are nothing but garbage.

They can’t sense mana, so they can’t gather magic materials, and they eat up all the food they’ve made. If it’s worth it… … Is it about the level of a mormot for biological experiments? No one cared about the legal system for the rice bugs.

Calpheon was, in effect, nothing more than a gigantic experimental site called a nation.

Gelian is a coalition formed by a number of different races. The only thing they had in common was that they were not human, and it was impossible for them to unite.

An elf needs a dense forest to live, but a giant plain without a single tree is needed for a giant to live.

Killing each other is a game for spirits who are natural, but for other races that are material, killing is a problem that cannot be ignored.

There is no such thing as a legal system to bind these people together in the first place. Therefore, the choice of the alliance was simple. I just left it to each race to do it on their own.

Gelian is actually nothing more than an elementary school class feast hidden in the wrapping paper of the union.

Compared to the two, Argon was on the better side.

The weapon they use called the Titan consumes a lot of manpower. It is said that there is no such thing as a useless thing for commoners like Calpheon.

They share the same characteristics and similar values under the name of human beings. It means that you don’t have to play with each other like Gelian.

Under such a background, the legal system naturally developed in Argon. To the extent that it surpassed the empire before its destruction.

steel argon. Its name was engraved with the meaning of a firm judgment unmatched by other kingdoms.

“At least 5 villages that have been annihilated. More than 1,000 people were killed. No matter how important the country’s main force, even a third-class knight, the death penalty will be unavoidable.”

“… … .”

“It would be nice if you killed me nicely. It’s too much of a sin to just hang it on a guillotine. Maybe try all the torture methods that exist? Like putting them in boiling oil or cutting off limbs. Or maybe I could call the Inquisitor. Because they are experts.”

“… … you, you bastard.”

Theodore sharpened his teeth. The voice you exhale is full of life.

“Isn’t it all because of you… … !”

“Why is that my fault? This is a funny kid.”

“Even if you and that bitch didn’t do that… … .”

“You did it. We just said it.”

Rihann looked at Theodore with puzzled eyes.

It is said that criminals have a different way of thinking, is it possible to think in that way? It’s a different feeling when you experience it yourself.

“Honestly, if I were in that position, I would have grabbed the knife upside down and searched through it right away. You’ve been through the hardships he puts on you. The game is over when you wrap it up in that state and hand it over to the chase. I’ll give you a bounty as well. It’s like you’ve been sacrificing a national trait.”

“The dog… … .”

Lian laughed at the growling voice.

“But I have a broad mind like Daeha. So I’ll give you a chance.”

“… … chance?”

Theodore frowned. A ray of hope shines in his eyes.

“Yeah, chance. Being weak at heart is a really big downside. Especially like you like you. ”

“Do it all the way there. Explain what opportunity you are talking about.”

“Who is the most dog-like bastard here?”

Lian continued to grumble.

“The rules are simple. fighting with me If I win, you go to the chase, and if that side wins, my life… … .”

-no.

“… … can’t Well, you do it yourself. Either take him outside and get kicked, or cut off his limbs here.”

Rihan shrugged and looked at Theodore.

“What do you think? I think this is fair enough.”

“… … Does that fly-like thing stick to you too?”

-Is that what you said to me? that’s real! Shall I make you like a worm?

“It doesn’t matter. You and I, it’s just the two of us.”

Rihanna replied, appeasing Consi. It’s not a big deal if you say it’s soothing. When you wave your hand like a baby airplane, it quickly loosens up and you chatter.

Theodore frowned at the sight. good condition Strangely enough. He remembered what had happened before he came here.

‘Hey, he wants you to come.’

‘It’s the fly that was attached to the little boy. Do you want to die?’

‘What kind of bug? this… … this… … .’

‘… … That’s weird. Why doesn’t the magic attack work? If this is the case, even spirits and fairies… … .’

‘… … I can’t. Let’s get you right and start. The ordeal I inflict on you… … .’

… … After that, I don’t want to recall much.

Every time I woke up from the nightmare, the attempted attack hit the air meaninglessly, and after that, it was again a repetition of hell with no difference from reality.

28 times like that.

The moment you realize that there is no way to kill or run away. He came this far out of his own will.

“That bastard bastard… … .”

Theodore looked at the unknown race sitting peacefully on Rian’s hand. The two of them talk so much, they seem to get along very well.

How could you be friends with such a devil’s servant? Now I understand why Byron was so wary.

“How can I believe I won’t help you?”

“If you don’t believe it, what are you going to do? I’ll wrap it up nicely and deliver it to you.”

“This chewy cub… … .”

-hey! Why do you keep talking about bugs and bugs? I’m telling you to listen to me now. Right?

Theodore took a deep breath, suppressing the boiling anger. Sorry, but you’re right. The choice is not him, but that little boy.

“… … not accept If you break your promise, I’ll make it exactly what you said before.”

“as you please. But if you don’t keep your promise in the first place, you wouldn’t be able to even try?”

“It is enough to take one of you as a companion.”

Theodore drew his sword. Key Gigging. The sword, which has not been maintained for two years, screams.

“A nightmare like reality is only a dream after all. The moment I realized it, I woke up if I committed suicide. And I can kill you hundreds of times before you get caught again.”

“Hmm… … .”

It’s not like I just got hurt. Even if it rots, it’s Junchi, and it was a bit surprising to find out about that fact in the midst of it. Is it really a 3rd grade knight?

“I didn’t mean to break my promise anyway, so it doesn’t matter. But why don’t you take a break for a while?”

“rest? why?”

“It must have been the ordeal of Consi while he was in a state of disrepair because he was running away. Later, I lost because of bad condition, I don’t want to hear such a thing.”

“You’re talking funny things.”

Theodore grinned.

“I’m only dealing with you, do you think your physical condition is important?”

“If you think like that, you can’t do it.”

Ryan draws his sword. There is no sound like a rustling.

The extremely well-maintained sword had no friction when it came out. Theodore looked at him with a smirk.

After all, a knight-class battle is determined by the magic overlaid on the weapon. It doesn’t matter whether the sword is sharp or all teeth are missing.

So, ordinary knights do minimal maintenance so that they are not obtrusive. I don’t think of it as if it were an alter ego like that.

There are usually two such cases.

One is when weapons are extremely valuable. Whether it is a magic weapon of historical value or imprinted with the highest level of magic.

The jet-black color was nice, but Theodore had never heard of a sword that looked like that. In short, it’s not a sword with a history.

The same goes for engraving. Magical weapons emit a faint scent of mana even if the user doesn’t infuse them with magic. Theodore felt no trace of mana from that sword.

Then there is only one case left. It’s not a habit. It’s a habit when you can’t use your magic power.

Regardless of skill, it means that the inside is a sun chick. Why did I have to fight… … Is it because of practical experience?

If so, you found it right. Because he had the confidence to show for sure what a real fight was. Theodore grinned and lowered his sword.

“Little boy, where were you two years ago?”

“Why are you asking such a thing all of a sudden?”

“Two years ago. Byron said you were a kid who couldn’t even be a knight.”

Theodore relaxed his posture. Rihanna, exhausted by that defenseless appearance, also put the sword on her shoulder.

“therefore?”

“I’ve been detecting magical powers before. It seemed to be roughly equivalent to a level 4 knight. No matter how talented you are, it is impossible to jump two levels in two years.”

As Theodore spoke, he raised his magic power inside. so secretly that no one notices.

“But I don’t think Byron got the wrong person. Unbelievable, but… … You must have become a level 4 knight in 2 years. Such a monstrous talent would make you so arrogant.”

Rihanna was just staring at him with a sad expression on his face.

im immature too. Theodore grinned. In my mind, I remember the discomfort I felt before.

“But instead, you’re just so stupid.”

“Are you stupid?”

“okay. I am 3rd grade. you are 4th grade Do you know how big the difference is?”

“I don’t think you need to know much.”

It was a blunt answer, but Theodore didn’t really care. Because conversation is not the purpose in the first place.

“One 3rd level can match 4th level twenty. It’s even more like a 4th grader.”

Shh. step a little The little boy’s eyes look down. There’s no point in looking at it now.

“Ten seconds is enough.”

Quang. The floor roars and crumbles. Theodore’s body was shot out with great speed. The target is Rihanna. But the purpose was not the guy.

At first, he wasn’t interested in fighting grade 4 or anything like that. Because it was natural to win. He didn’t believe the promise either. Because the intention was obvious.

As I was trying to figure out how to survive, I saw an unusual sight. A picture of the bug cub sitting on the little boy’s hand. It was clear that neither the sword nor the body was touching the guy he was casually touching.

I didn’t have time to figure out how I did it. However, the fact of ‘reaching’ was enough.

“Die, you worm.”

The sword points towards Rian’s side. What is unique is that it is a side, not a blade. Theodore was going to send him away and destroy him along with the unknown race.

shhh.

Even as death drew near, Rihanna stood still.

A surprise attack applied during the conversation, an overwhelming speed with magical power. I can’t even react. Theodore was certain of victory.

But just before the sword touched Rian’s body.

“Silly.”

It’s a moment, but consciousness flies away. When he woke up, the sword had already stopped. Rihann glanced at Theodore with a stupid expression on his face.

“You said you could see everything.”

when… … before I even uttered those words.

thud!

Theodore’s body collapsed to the floor helplessly.
