Grave Keeper of the Fallen Kingdom

“after… … , I’ll live for a bit.”

I was worried that Morgan would come in and take issue with Miriam’s head on her thigh, but luckily that didn’t happen.

Rather, she recognized my condition at once, handed me a recovery potion from her bosom, and took Miriam and left for the castle.

It’s probably because you don’t know what will happen to the kingdom while you’re away.

Thanks to drinking the potion Morgan gave her, her internal injuries were at least slightly healed.

The potion was said to be effective, but the alchemy technology was still insufficient to create a potion that was as effective as using divine magic.

[“Main Quest – Defend Brilliant” has been resolved.]

[Main Quest – Remove the Seed of Disaster.]

[The warlocks are sowing the seeds of disaster that will lead the continent to war. Erase the seeds of disaster before they germinate.]

[Reward – Resurrection of the Dead]

When he rescued Miriam from Hamilton, a message came to him.

‘The seed of disaster… … ?’

It does not tell us where and in what form the seeds were sown.

The main quest always asks me for an answer as if I’m catching a cloud like this.

‘There are a few things that come to mind… … .’

I checked the main quest and immediately got up.

“Ugh.”

A sharp pain ran up his spine.

If it wasn’t for Messiah’s ring and recovery potion, he might have already fainted from the recoil of the moonshine.

The thought of going back to the royal castle is daunting.

‘Anyway, those eyes… … .’

Was it my mistake that Morgan’s eyes turned grim at Miriam’s words that she had saved her from Hamilton?

He went to the royal castle without saying anything, but his questioning seems inevitable no matter how much you think about it.

“Lord!”

I heard Cohen’s voice.

When I turned my head there, he was running towards me with a worried face.

“Are you okay?”

“Yes, it is fine.”

“Looks like we need to go back soon. The situation inside the royal castle is also unusual.”

“yes. I’ll go soon. Things are not going smoothly.”

“I have recovered somewhat, so I will help you.”

“thank you.”

I was put on Cohen’s back again.

“But what the hell happened to that Hamilton? Black Castle, do you mean that they also train swordsmen of that level?”

“The power of the Black Star is bigger and bigger than I thought. Black magic is the power to follow demons. The temptations of demons are stronger and more severe than you can imagine.”

“I’m sure not one or two people fall into temptation.”

“you’re right. And those demons… … .”

I tried to talk about demons involuntarily, but kept my mouth shut.

“What about demons? Do you know anything about demons?”

“no… , no.”

Except for those who belong to the black planet, only a few people know about the demons.

Hundreds of years have passed since the demons invaded the continent.

Pretending to know about it already was suspicious, so I kept my mouth shut.

“There, I see the people of the kingdom.”

After almost coming down Kinish Bluff, the kingdom’s soldiers and priests were approaching this place.

“Let’s go.”

As we got closer and rendezvoused, one of the knights leading them said he was looking for us.

“Sir Morgan said there were wounded, so the others went back to the castle and only we came.”

“Here, Lord… , Sir Ren’s inner wounds are great.”

“I will see.”

He was not just a priest, but a high priest.

Divine recovery up to 2 stars of divine magic permeated my body.

The internal organs that had been bleeding inside quickly healed, and the stuffy breathing soon became easier.

“This is enough.”

“To fully recover, you need to receive 10 more minutes of holy power.”

“it’s okay. We must go to the royal castle quickly.”

Cohen’s face has also become more comfortable thanks to being healed by another priest.

“but-.”

“It is urgent. Thank you for treating me.”

“Get on.”

I climbed onto Cohen’s back again.

Cohen left them behind and ran back to the castle.

The Grand Hall, where the banquet hall was located, was still brightly lit, and people’s voices leaked out.

Pushing the slightly open door reveals the banquet hall on the first floor that has turned into a mess.

King Maurice announces an end to the banquet, and Archbishop Mel resents that he did not catch Hamilton.

As unexpected gossip arose, noble ladies and envoys from other countries couldn’t stay still because their mouths were itching.

Since the knights were controlling the access of nobles, no one had left the banquet hall yet.

“We must hunt down and nip the group of warlocks who dared to assassinate the Bishop of the Holy Kingdom!”

“Archbishop Mel! They are the ones who dared to kidnap the 3 princesses of the kingdom before attempting to assassinate the bishop! We have no intention of staying still!”

“Your Majesty, we must immediately conduct a thorough investigation of the group of warlocks with knights. And in our Holy Kingdom, we intend to hold Brilliant and Baran accountable for the assassination of our bishop.”

“Archbishop Mel!”

The king opened his eyes and shouted.

At that time, the first prince of Lev, who was watching the situation, stepped forward and stopped the two.

“Archbishop Mel. As you saw earlier, my brother saved Bishop Thomas. Without Louise, Bishop Thomas would have died on the spot. If that were the case, there would be a situation where the divine kingdom would not be able to punish the believer who broke the divine law.”

The Archbishop only muttered at Lev’s calm refutation, but was unable to refute.

“No amount of banqueting on our part could have prevented such an assassination attempt by Hamilton. Of course, since it happened at our banquet hall, there could be some responsibility, but the 3 princesses were also kidnapped and managed to come back. In this situation, it would not be pleasant on our part to just pursue the assassination attempt on the bishop.”

While acknowledging their own problems, they go into each case in a clear manner and clearly imprint their wrongdoings on the other person.

Even so, Archbishop Mel’s speech in which he pointed out a mistake he had made in excitement earlier and handed the blame to him was a scene that showed how adept he was at such politics.

‘Lev Hertia… … , Louise can never win with her political skills.’

A person who rose to the next king without difficulty in his previous life.

At the time, I didn’t have a chance to talk to him, so I couldn’t see his true face, but now I immediately felt that he wasn’t an easy person.

“Big, big… … . I know. 1 Prince Highness. I think I made a mistake in my excitement about what I said earlier. sorry.”

“no. We fully understand Archbishop Mel’s feelings. We will do our best to find the warlocks and root them out.”

“We will actively help in our church as well.”

As the conversation comes to an end, Morgan looks this way and whispers to the King.

And King Maurice, whose expression spreads out at once.

He looked at me and Cohen and smiled broadly.

“The hero who saved Miriam has arrived!”

At that, all eyes turned to me.

“Wasn’t that what Sir Morgan saved?”

“Len Argen? No, did Cohen Travis save it?”

“Oh my… … , I heard you defeated Sir Ronikar in one stroke last time. The rumors of a high-ranking knight must have been true!”

“As expected, Arzen’s blood doesn’t go anywhere.”

“No. Didn’t you see that skill before? Because of Princess Miriam, the high-ranking knights were desperate and they couldn’t easily rescue Sir Morgan, but the fact that Len Argen saved it… … , You mean it could be a master level?”

“no way! What nonsense are you talking about? You’re young, but you’re at the master’s level? I can’t believe he’s a high-ranking knight.”

The lush rumors surrounding me inflated the size even more.

Rumors that he was still at the knight level or that he was at the advanced knight level began to flow, even saying that he would beat Sir Morgan at the master level.

Hearing such words from the side, I was at a loss for words because I was speechless.

‘The real rumors are inflated like this.’

If you were against Sir Morgan, you wouldn’t be able to take even one.

When I turn my head with a tingling gaze, I see Jane and Sika.

Looking at those complicated-looking eyes makes me wonder.

‘You really don’t believe that, right?’

Ay no way… … .

“Come up here.”

Upon King Maurice’s call, I went up to the podium and knelt in front of him to bow.

“Hold your head. and tell me what you want You saved my daughter, so you should give her a fair price.”

“I am the gravekeeper of Decane. I hope you will increase your support for Decane again.”

I said what I wanted without hesitation.

In the first place, King Maurice didn’t like being humble.

“is it? What kind of support do you want?”

“I would like you to increase the number of reinforcements protecting Decaine.”

“hmm… … .”

Maurice’s expression doesn’t seem particularly reluctant.

Why should I waste my troops on such a useless thing? that kind of expression.

understanding goes. However, if you don’t protect Decaine, there is no future for Brilliant.

No matter how you think about it, you had to borrow the power of your ancestors to stop the demons.

“Okay. Let me consider that.”

“thank you.”

“Rather than that, I wonder how you caught him.”

“Ah, that… … .”

I can feel people’s eyes on me.

This is probably the question they all have in common.

It’s not that I don’t understand that feeling, so I’ll try to answer it.

“I was lucky.”

“I was lucky?”

“Yes, it seems that you were very tired from running away from Sir Morgan’s pursuit. Not to mention, it must have been because I couldn’t show my skills because I had Princess Miriam with me.”

“Didn’t you use Miriam as a shield?”

It shouldn’t be said that he deliberately attacked Miriam to induce the opponent’s gap.

The king wouldn’t pour out his anger for saying that, but he wouldn’t be in a good mood.

You don’t have to make him feel bad by saying unnecessary things.

“Rather, my clumsy swordsmanship almost reached Princess Miriam, so there was an opening in him. Since Sir Morgan is chasing from behind, Princess Miriam must have been needed as a hostage.”

“It could be. Well, Miriam wasn’t hurt after all, so I won’t say anything about that.”

“thank you. your majesty.”

As I step down from the podium, the king announces the end of the banquet and is about to return.

The first prince, Lev, suddenly stepped onto the podium and drew the attention of the nobles.

“There is still one more thing to reveal.”

“What more is left? Rev.”

“I know of a family inside the kingdom that colluded with the warlock.”

Another outrageous remark.

In the hideous atmosphere caused by the black magician, Lev raised the embers that had been extinguished little by little.

“Luca Rogers. He was colluding with the Warlock.”

‘What are you doing?’

Are you revealing a secret about Luca Rogers here?

I’m sure Lev also knows that Jane has a handwritten letter related to her warlock.

Even so, revealing this now means that there is a way out… … .

‘Did you notice that Kelvin Rogers crossed over to us?’

Otherwise, there is no reason to plunge the Rogers family into the abyss like this.

I hurriedly looked at Kelvin, and his face was shaking.

The look of Jane stopping him from running away.

Jane stepped forward and took a piece of paper from her bosom.

‘Damn it… … , In this situation, it is right to expose the letter at least… … .’

For some reason, this anxiety.

There was no way that Lev would have done something like this without taking measures.

It’s not that we have to observe the situation a little longer and reveal it… … .

“Your Majesty the King. I have proof that Prince Reb, along with Luca Rogers, conspired with the Warlock.”

“what?”

King Maurice’s distorted face.

But next to him, Lev’s expression is still relaxed.

“Here is his handwritten letter.”

At that, Morgan comes downstairs, takes the letter Jane had, and goes back to the podium.

‘It’s already too late to turn the situation around.’

I kept looking at Lev’s face.

It is always a calm and serene gaze.

When the king received the letter and opened it, Lev glanced at the contents of the letter next to him.

One corner of his mouth lifted slightly.
