I Became a Dark Knight the Empress Is Obsessed With

62 – Unraveler Yuria – (Complete)

In the late afternoon, in the inner chamber of the imperial palace.

There, Lyncia, who had changed into easy-to-move everyday clothes, was sitting there. When Lautrec opened the door and went inside, Lucy, the lady-in-waiting who was guarding her side, smiled broadly and offered a chair.

“Did you call?”

When Lautrec asked as they sat down, Empress Lynceia raised her head.

‘Well.’

Seeing her eyes, Lautrec was taken aback for a moment. It was because something intense was lurking within it, like a flickering flame.

It’s not a trivial reason. Lautrec thought so and straightened his posture.

Eventually, Lyncia slowly opened her mouth.

“Sir Lautrec Pendrin.”

“Yes.”

“You are the elite of the prestigious Baron Pendrin family, and I heard that you are one of the best masters in the spirit realm.”

“…it’s embarrassing.”

“There’s no need to be so fierce. Anyway.”

He coughed and spoke.

“Sir Lautrec is first-class as a knight as well as an elementalist, right?”

“……That’s right, but what the hell are you doing?”

Lautrec straightened his back. It was clear that checking this far was an important task.

Lynchia’s eyes lit up as she looked at Lautrec.

To be precise, he looked at the little spirit girl, Sylphy, clinging to his shoulder.

“Can I ask you a few more questions?”

“Yes.”

“Can you observe someone’s movements through elemental magic? Even from a distance.”

“Are you referring to surveillance?”

“I guess you could say that too.”

Lautrec thought for a moment before replying.

“Yes. It’s quite possible. Rather, I believe there is no more effective method than mobilizing spirits for surveillance.”

“More than a family member?”

Wizards often use familiars called familiars to assist them.

However, Familiar had a fatal flaw.

“Familiars have all the mana required to manifest their substance in the material world from the caster. On the other hand, spirits do not. Since they are manifested through mutual contracts, they consume natural mana. I don’t have any means.”

That’s what I call good value for money.

As Lynthia listened to Lautrec’s explanation, her eyes gradually brightened.

“Well, then you’re saying you can watch over others from anywhere on the continent if you use spirits? Day and night!”

“… It’s a bit strange, but for now, it’s like that.”

“……Oh, it’s dope.”

“your majesty!”

As Lynthia blankly muttered something vulgar, Lucy hurriedly warned her.

Only then did he come to his senses and shake his head.

I heard that the Empress’s tone has become quite rough recently, but it must have been true. Perhaps it was the influence of Lord Protector Fried, Lautrec guessed.

“By the way, why the hell are you asking? Are you saying you want me to spy on someone?”

“… half right, half wrong.”

Saying that, Lyncia put her hand on Sylphy.

Sylphy looked frightened at first, but after a while, she was hugged by Lyncia’s soft fingers and began to laugh.

Seeing this, she smiled and said.

“Sir Lautrec, please teach me spiritism.”

“…… Huh?”

This was not what he expected, so Lautrec wrinkled his brow.

Can you tell me about spiritism? why?

If you think about the conversation right now, the reason why you want to learn spiritism is probably.

“Your Majesty says there’s someone you want to keep an eye on. Who is it?”

“…it’s a bit hard to tell.”

“Are you a protector of the border?”

“……..”

Lynchia’s face went pale for a moment, then she shook her head vigorously.

“Oh, no.”

“your majesty.”

“Yes?”

“You really can’t lie.”

“Ugh…”

At Lautrec’s words, Lyncia sighed, and Lucy, who was next to her, put her hand to her mouth and chuckled. Of course, when Lyncia glared at her, she relaxed her expression and put her hands together.

Lyncia, who had a clear understanding of her inner feelings, explained with her shoulders drooping.

“Well, anyway, Fried goes a long way, doesn’t it? That’s why I’m a little worried… that’s why.”

The reaction convinced Lautrec.

Fried was scheduled to leave for the Iscobal estate with Milia. And Lautrec was well aware of the empress’s obsession with the protectorate. From the point of view of Lyncia, who loves him, he must be very anxious.

I understood the feeling of wanting to monitor their every move.

It was probably because of the nightmare at the Senate Council that he chose spiritism instead of magic. Since Lynthia was in danger of dying from the torture wizard Rowan, she must have a resistance to magic as well.

“But, Your Majesty, you can’t learn spirit magic just because you want to learn it.”

Lautrec slowly explained the reality.

“As I said, spirits are not beings that work like familiars. We have to form an equal relationship through a mutual contract.”

Sylphy brushed her hair lightly and continued.

“But not everyone can make a contract with the spirits. Each person has a very different level of affinity with the spirits, and only a few people with high affinity, that is, talent, can talk to the spirits.”

“Mmm.”

“Of course, only about 10% of magicians who can talk to the spirits succeed in making a contract with the spirit. The higher the level of the spirit you want to contract with, the higher the difficulty.”

Lincia’s expression darkened.

She seemed to be thinking about it for a while, then touched Sylphy.

“Then this spirit… that’s why…”

“This is Sylphy.”

“Yes. Sylphy. Yes. Is Sylphy a strong spirit?”

At those words, Lautrec smiled and grabbed Sylphy’s flapping wings.

Lautrec answered while gently caressing the blue spirit who puffed up his cheeks in dissatisfaction.

“It’s strong. It’s very strong. It’s a spirit that sits at the highest level in the spirit realm. It handles any element well, but among them, it’s a master of wind magic.”

“Is it this small?”

“Size doesn’t matter.”

The elated Sylphy put her hands on her hips and puffed out her chest.

Seeing that, Lyncia squatted at Sylphy in surprise.

“Anyway, that’s the reality. Even if you want to learn spiritism, it’s useless if you don’t have a high affinity.”

“How do I know if the affinity is high?”

“There are many ways. First of all, the fact that His Majesty can touch Sylphy like this is proof that he has a higher affinity than the criminal.”

“And.” With a rhyme, Lautrec raised a finger.

“By any chance, Your Majesty, since you were little, have you ever had an experience of being talked to by a spirit without an owner?”

“…I don’t think there is.”

“If that’s the case, it’s probably going to be difficult. Usually, beings from the spirit world will often talk to people with a high affinity first.”

“Did Sir Lautrec do that?”

“In my case…”

He stopped talking and smiled bitterly.

Born and raised in a family of knights far from magic. It was because he was humiliated and insulted as a child, saying that he had been blessed by a witch because he saw the beings of the spirit realm.

Seeing Lautrek like that, Lyncia shut her mouth tightly.

“sorry.”

“No. It’s okay. It’s all in the past.”

As if relieved, Lyncia let out a small sigh.

“…then you’re saying that I’m a body that can’t learn spirit magic?”

“So far, yes. Of course, it’s still too early to jump to conclusions. Above all, there is an easier way.”

“What is it?”

“It’s simple. If you can talk to Sylphy, the highest spirit in front of you, you have a high affinity.”

“Hoo.”

“Of course it will be difficult. But if you want to talk and communicate for hours, days and weeks, you might hear Sylphy’s voice.”

After hearing Lautrec’s words, Lynchia stared at Sylphy. And he started talking in a small whisper.

Lautrec laughed, feeling that his childhood was reflected in the cute scenery. He also talked to Sylphy without sleeping for over four days in order to sign a contract.

‘Come to think of it.’

Lautrec thought of Yuria a moment ago. The image of her casually touching Sylphy was clearly visible in his eyes.

And the words Yuria had brought out in a meaningful way echoed in her head.

‘It won’t last long, you. As long as it is deeply intertwined with the spirit realm, you will not be able to escape its aftermath.’

Obviously, Yuria warned that something would happen to the spirit realm.

And she is a member of the Order. It was only speculation, but there was a high possibility that the foreign news church was plotting some kind of trick.

Of course, the spirit realm was located in a place completely remote from the material world, and had a lofty status that was unreachable by mere human power. It would not be easy to reach out to the spirit realm no matter how much foreign powers were borrowed.

However, this situation requires careful consideration. Like Fried, it would be a good idea to investigate this as well.

After organizing his thoughts, Lautrec raised his head.

“……uh?”

I doubted my own eyes.

In front of her was a girl with platinum hair holding Sylphy’s wings and laughing.

“Your name is Sylphy. When did you meet Sir Lautrec?”

When Lyncia spoke to her, Sylphy moved her small mouth.

Then she opened her eyes wide.

“More than 15 years? Then how old is Sylphy? You look so young?”

mess.

“What? Oh, five hundred years old?!”

Apparently surprised, Lyncia opened her mouth.

And he spoke in a subdued tone.

“I’m sorry. Stop thinking you’re younger than me…”

Lautrec watched the conversation from a distance and rubbed his eyes. However, when she looked ahead again, she could only see Lyncia clearly having a conversation with Sylphy.

look at the clock It was a fleeting moment.

In that short amount of time, Lynchia was communicating with the highest level spirit.

A feat that even Lautrec, who was called the genius of spiritism, could not accomplish. As if it was natural, the empress in front of her did it.

[Ooh ooh.]

With a pained sound, Sylphy turned her head back. A half-crying expression. The two eyes were shaking as if they were embarrassed.

Sylphy said.

[What the hell is he?]

I couldn’t answer that.

Lautrec wiped his face with a little admiration.

‘but.’

Balug Ayrn, the founding emperor of the Eyren dynasty and empire.

He was also one of the most powerful elementalists in history.

It might have been a matter of course that Lynthia, who inherited that blood, had a high level of affinity with spirits.

But I don’t think it will be this much.

“I’m afraid.”

Lautrec muttered, and Sylphy nodded vigorously in agreement.
