Luca Rogers.

I wondered where he had heard this name, but it was the name of a madman who was caught trying to assassinate the bishop of the Holy Kingdom in his previous life.

The reason why I couldn’t remember his name was because at the time of the assassination attempt, he had completely disguised himself as another nobleman and even hid his name, so I didn’t immediately come up with it.

It wasn’t long before it was revealed that he was Luca Rogers.

In my head, the name ‘Hamilton Lesias’ he had disguised was more deeply entrenched.

“under… … .”

A sigh comes out.

Because of the crazy thing he did at the banquet in the Brilliant Kingdom, the relationship between Brillant and the Holy Kingdom rapidly grew apart, and Brilliant’s situation became very bad.

I’m running like this to revive Brilliant, but once Luca Rogers commits something like that, he can’t be revived.

You must maintain a good relationship with the Holy Kingdom.

They will eventually become a key force in dealing with the demons in the future.

“Why is that?”

“Why but?”

How do I explain this… … .

It is impossible to explain that I have regressed, and I will not believe it right away.

Of course, like our ancestors, ‘it could be.’ There is a possibility that it will go away, but the probability of that is low.

‘A banquet to be held with the forthcoming coming-of-age ceremony of the 3 princesses of the Brilliant Kingdom. That’s where he worked.’

I don’t know how he fooled everyone, but he was perfectly disguised as Hamilton Lesias to participate in the banquet.

I don’t know why he did it, or who he collaborated with.

All we can guess from the current situation is that this bastard, a follower of the warlock, colluded with them to do it.

‘In order to find out the purpose, I’d like to find out why he went over to the warlocks.’

Why did you find antiques?

Why did the black magicians go looking for Luka Ruusers?

spiritual power… … .

Yes, they were definitely gathering spiritual power.

The purpose of those who forcibly killed the living and made tombs for experiments was clearly the power of the soul.

So what does antique have to do with it? Could it be possible to extract spiritual power from old items?

I do not know yet.

‘The reason why Luka Rogers would go over to the warlock is… … . There are so many that I can’t anticipate it.’

In the first place, he was a timid guy who did not enjoy gambling or entertainment and wielded a sword as his family told him to do.

Rather, it’s easy to manipulate because you’ve never done anything.

Enjoyment and pleasure are the most thrilling and intense when you first taste them.

‘No, no…’ … . Let’s turn our thoughts around. I’m shifting my focus to Hamilton Lesias, not Luca Rogers.’

Hamilton Lesias.

Obviously, a lot of research has been done on him.

Thanks to Hamilton, who had the great crime of assassinating the bishop, the Lesias family became criminals overnight.

The Lesias family are nobles of the Baran Empire.

Hamilton Lesias is a person who was dispatched from Baran to Brillant to monitor the royal family of Brillant and keep other countries in check.

‘Now that I think about it, the front and back fit perfectly.’

Using Luca Rogers disguised as Hamilton Lesias, the warlocks were able to obtain three benefits from a single assassination attempt.

First, causing cracks in the strong alliance between the Baran Empire and the Holy Kingdom.

Although it was Hamilton’s solo act, the Holy Kingdom had no choice but to be awkward to keep the wanted empire close to it as before.

There is a big difference between one without a single crack and one with a small crack.

Now that I think about it, it was at that time that the cracks between the two countries began to show.

Second, the Divine Kingdom and the Brilliant Kingdom are completely separated.

As a result, it was much easier for the warlocks to enter Brillant, so maybe this was their plan too.

Third, using the identity of Luca Rogers to create a connection with the first prince and at the same time make it a hand that can keep the first prince in check.

If the person responsible for trying to assassinate the bishop of the Holy Kingdom by joining hands with the warlock is a member of the Rogers family, it will inevitably be a huge fatal blow to the first prince who leads them.

After sorting out my thoughts to some extent, I looked up and saw the faces of the two.

He looks like he’s very curious about what I’m thinking so hard about.

“Has there been anything strange about Luca Rogers lately?”

“hmm… … , the strange thing is… … , ah! Recently, I heard that he has been trying to go out of the city often.”

“Out of town? Where are you going?”

“I’ve been spotted sneaking out of the city walls to southern towns several times.”

“Don’t you know we’re watching?”

“You probably don’t know. Still, they put people who are good at tracking and stealth.”

Nodding at Cohen’s words, I thought again.

‘Southern town… … .’

If you find a connection with Hamilton Lesias, it is that the woman he likes lives in a southern town… … .

‘Is this a coincidence?’

Something smells suspicious.

“Luka Rogers, just watch from a distance like you are doing now, and don’t press any more.”

“But Luca Rogers is associated with a group of warlocks. Wouldn’t it be necessary to properly dig into the inside story?”

“no. Such cowardly and timid characters do not know where they will bounce when pressure exceeds a certain level. Now is the time to let go. You must be feeling a lot of psychological pressure just by telling us the secret about the first prince.”

I can’t talk about regression yet.

You have to give a good reason and ruin the warlocks’ plans.

[Main Quest – Protect the Brilliant.]

[A group of warlocks are proceeding step by step in the dark with a plan to devour the Brilliant Kingdom. Completely thwart that plan and defend the kingdom.]

[Reward – Linked Quest]

The main quest appeared after a while.

Like the last main quest and this time as well, it seems that the main quest is related to warlocks.

‘But is it a chain quest again?’

Yes, that could be the extent to which the quest continues.

But does Luca Rogers’ attempt to assassinate the bishop not end it?

‘driving me crazy… … .’

All I know is that the warlocks are using Luca Rogers to devour Brilliant.

However, the existence of a linked quest means that there may be more than that.

“Ren, you look bad again. What does it take?”

“We, the Travis family, have decided to follow our lord. Trust us and let us know if you have any thoughts.”

Leighton and Cohen are credible figures.

In the first place, he knew that Layton was a trustworthy person from his previous life, and Cohen could clearly feel his temper through this opportunity.

However, I thought it would be premature to disclose all of my abilities.

‘At some point, when the time comes, there will be an opportunity to speak… … . Not yet.’

He nodded at their words and opened his mouth.

“Actually, there is a story I heard from the ghosts in the graveyard.”

They can’t see the ghost, so they won’t be able to confirm the presence or absence of my words.

“What are you talking about?”

“Hamilton Lesias has a woman he likes.”

“Hamilton Lesias?”

The two people make a puzzled expression at the name that pops out of nowhere.

I would do just that.

Because you threw a completely unrelated person into the hwadu.

“The woman lives in the southern town where Luca Rogers goes.”

“… … What do you mean?”

“Actually, I doubt Hamilton Lesias. They say he has a collusion with the warlocks.”

The eyes of the two people widened.

“Hamilton can’t do that.”

“He is a person from Baran. That’s why the person from the Lesias family, who has quite a bit of authority, is with the black magicians… … ?”

“I heard from the ghosts that I had an encounter with a warlock.”

In fact, never.

“… … Is it really?”

“yes.”

no.

“under! Why on earth would a man who holds power without envy do such a thing… … .”

It’s probably because he didn’t have any envy, so he didn’t collude with the warlock.

I’m sorry, but I need to become a companion of the warlock for a while.

“That’s why I suspect Hamilton’s woman. All I’m asking is Luca Rogers, Hamilton Lesias, and the woman who seems to be related to them. Watch the three of them. And if anything happens to Hamilton, just watch.”

“Why is that?”

“The warlock shouldn’t notice that we’re watching. After all, they are scum that colluded with the black magician. They are cheap even if they die.”

“Wouldn’t it be better to live and remain as a witness?”

Layton didn’t even want to save Lesias. A character like a hyena who is always looking around to see if there is anything to suck on for the nobles belonging to Brilliant.

There is no such thing as a good feeling.

“no. If he is to die, it is better for him to die.”

“Why do you think so?”

“… … I intend to ruin the warlocks’ plans.”

Travis Gymnasium.

Above it, Ren and Khalid are standing facing each other.

‘I wonder if I can win… … ?’

Accompanying him to Kormir, he made an appointment with Khalid for sparring.

As soon as Khalid finished his business, he didn’t forget the promise and asked Ren, and Ren forgot and was brought here by force.

‘The opponent is an upper-middle-class knight. On the other hand, I had just reached the rank of a lower-ranking knight. I can’t win with normal swordsmanship.’

Ren ran a simulation in his head of how to fight him.

“You are nervous. I didn’t expect to have a sparring with you so soon.”

“Sir Khalid is the one who brought in what we are going to do tomorrow.”

“I got this opportunity, but of course I have to do it right away! Isn’t sparring with a high-ranking knight a rare opportunity?”

Khalid took out his sword with a half-nervous, half-excited expression.

“A senior knight?”

“Your lord is not at the level of a senior knight.”

Layton and Cohen, who were watching the scene, tilted their heads and murmured.

Having seen Abel face off against the powerful Ren, Cohen and Layton knew exactly what level he was at.

“I will focus on sword facing, so there is no need to worry too much. wren.”

“All right.”

“Your overbearing swordsmanship still won’t leave my head. Now I’m going to cross that sword.”

That heinous swordsmanship was the swordsmanship of the Red Moon tribe, not the Havenberg swordsmanship.

“It will be different then.”

“Are you going to watch it? hahahaha, whatever is good!”

You are very misunderstanding the meaning.

He said that swordsmanship would be different because he didn’t know how to do it anymore.

Ren and Khalid aimed their swords at each other.

The air above the smoke stand was heavy.

Khalid’s mischievous laugh a moment ago disappeared in an instant, and only his serious eyes began to shine as if piercing through Ren.

ha… … .

When the sound of slow breathing stopped for an instant, Khalid kicked off the ground and ran.

Their eyes cross each other at the same time, and blades collide to create sparks.

Chae Ae Aeng!!

Ren’s teeth gnashed.

Every time you strike your sword against the opponent’s mighty power, you feel a great sense of pressure.

If he hadn’t learned how to turn the direction of his power to channel his power from his ancestors, he would have won the match in just a few battles.

visor! visor! Chaeeng!!

The two blades brush past each other, creating a loud metallic sound.

Khalid hardened his expression while hiding his doubts at the situation that was going more favorably than he thought.

‘Am I underestimating my skills? Or are you trying to induce distraction and look for an opportunity?’

Khalid’s head became complicated.

If it was just a normal opponent, I would have pushed it like this, but the opponent is Len Argen.

A high-ranking knight-level skill.

There must be something to aim for.

‘It is forbidden to be careless.’

After feeling helpless in the last fight against the black magician, he trained like crazy.

I never wanted to lose in vain.

“Hoo… … .”

“Are we starting in earnest?”

The two spectators muttered intriguedly.

‘Let’s concentrate.’

Sword energy begins to sway over Khalid’s sword.

You can’t procrastinate a fight by thinking about it forever.

Now is the time to deliver the final blow.

whoop-

The spinning sword wrapped around the blade like a whirlwind.

‘now!’

Khalid, who confirmed the gap, pulled his elbow and then thrust out his sword.

At that moment, a hazy mist suddenly appeared along Ren’s sword path.

‘What is this… … !’

Khalid’s brow furrowed.

It was only for a moment, but I missed Ren’s movements.

Whoo!!

Even though I stretched out my arm all the way, I couldn’t feel anything.

The tip of the sword that missed its target lost its way and lost its way.

‘sh*t!’

I hurriedly pulled my arm to retrieve the sword, but it was too late.

The appearance of Ren as the fog disappears.

His sword is rushing right at him.

“Keuk!”

Feeling death for a moment, he closed his eyes tightly and groaned involuntarily.

I don’t feel like being cut by a sword.

Slowly opening his eyes and lowering his gaze, Ren’s sword stopped right in front of his neck.

“I lost… all.”

Ren frowned with a dissatisfied face and retrieved the sword.

“Huh… … .”

“This is the state… , Is it Len Argen?”

Audience exclamations were heard from behind.

“just now… , what was that technique?”

Then, Ren twisted one lip and opened his mouth.

“hmm… … , It’s an unfinished technology, so I can’t tell you yet.”

“Is that incomplete?”

Khalid couldn’t keep his mouth shut.
