Sword Pilgrim-Chapter 184
Episode 184
: Knockout.
The door closed and Emily’s expression softened as she followed Colius’ back.
Various emotions were displayed on their faces.
It was a face that didn’t know what to make.
tall.
Colius’ footsteps stopped.
In the middle of a dark hallway. Emily flinches as she nearly slams her face into Colius’ back.
His voice shook the candles in the hallway.
“She was with the saintess of the empire.”
“Ah yes.”
“What were you talking about?”
“I didn’t do anything special. Are you really my mother? why can’t you remember why did i leave Why did you become a saint of the empire? I asked you about this.”
It looked like he was trying to say nothing.
Callius replied, looking at his daughter with a polite expressionless face.
“What did you say?”
“They don’t remember. When he came to his senses, he was knocked down near the border and escaped from being captured by the Imperial Army. I was young and weak back then, so it was very difficult.”
“It was.”
“Really… is that my mother?”
“…”
Callius was silent for a long time.
wheein. Only the harsh northern night wind permeated the silence.
Emily waited in silence.
I blamed myself for asking a useless question, but I waited. Even though I already knew the answer, I wanted a confirmation.
Because I didn’t know what to do.
Because I don’t know what is right or wrong.
Even though she seems to know the way of the sword, the way of the family is also awkward for Emily.
In this part, I wanted to rely on at least my one and only father.
Unlike on the battlefield, at times like this, that expressionless expression was very nasty.
“Parents are what children decide. It is not decided by the parents.”
“…do I decide?”
“okay.”
that you gave birth Can you say that you raised me as a parent? Not, thought Colliers.
Colius gave birth to Emily, but did not give birth to her, raised her, but did not raise her.
If you ask him if he deserves to be called a parent, he couldn’t answer easily.
And anyway.
whatever the cause was
“She is the one who abandoned you.”
She is now a saint of the enemy country. Do you treat her like a mother?
It was up to Emily to treat her as an enemy.
Emily asked in response, clenching her trembling fists. Looking up at Callius with sparkling eyes.
“What about Dad? no father? Father is a saint. Didn’t you miss it?”
“…”
“Because we love each other. Didn’t you give birth to me?”
Emily’s desperation reflected in Colleas’s gray eyes.
Eyes that will be hurt if not.
Even though she did not receive the love of her parents, she wanted to hear that she was a child born under love.
Even though he looked so grown up, is a child still a child?
‘No matter how old I am, I guess everyone wants to be loved the same.’
Callius looked up and fixed his gaze on the room where she was supposed to be.
After looking at him for a while, he met Emily’s gaze and nodded.
“okay. It was love.”
“Well then…!”
However, Callius shook his head.
“If you don’t remember, that’s it.”
“Ah…”
Colleas patted Emily’s head as she sighed, then turned her back.
Emily looked at her father’s back with a painful look on her face for a long time.
* * *
Same time.
The saintess of the empire lifted the teacup with trembling hands and took a sip of the already cooled tea with a red-hot face.
And then he mumbled a muttering to himself.
“It’s pretty hot in the north…”
Rumbling.
The windows swaying in the north wind swayed as if representing her nervous heart.
* * *
Purr.
In the chilly cold, the horse gurgles and emits pure white steam.
The northern dawn is cold.
The lungs freeze with one inhalation, and the pure white breath continues for a long time with one exhalation.
However, those who wore black robes over their horses did not feel the cold.
“Who…”
“Open it.”
Let’s take off the black hood.
The gate guards are startled and salute, and quickly open the gates.
He rides on horseback through the open gate.
No, Colius said solemnly, looking down at the guards.
“Do what you haven’t seen.”
The guards quickly closed the gates.
As if nothing had passed.
After a while.
The horse, which had been running for a while, started walking slowly.
“Suddenly, where are you going tonight?”
And behind him, the girl holding onto Colius’ waist.
It was Emily.
Emily was puzzled when she saw Colius suddenly moving stealthily.
It was because it was strange why he was heading somewhere dead as if the whole land was his own. As if it shouldn’t be seen by anyone.
“I have something to check.”
“check?” ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm
“You will know when you go. I have something to give you.”
Where are you going?
The days are cold and the nights are dark.
‘It’s kind of warm.’
Human body temperature is unexpectedly warm.
The moment I was thinking like that.
Callius stopped by the reins and immediately looked at Emily.
“Get down.”
“Ah oh. huh.”
After jumping off the pole, he looks around.
“This is a sinking forest.”
“okay.”
“Did you come here tonight? Did you already organize everything here after the war?”
“Know.”
expressionless.
By the time Emily’s eyebrows narrowed at that cynical expression and short answer.
A large hand was passed to Emily.
“I am no longer a child. are you okay.”
“It is a sinking forest. catch it.”
“Because that’s fine.”
“Catch it.”
“I heard it’s okay…”
Emily’s mouth loosened slightly as she held her hand as if she couldn’t win.
Father’s hand was warm.
And it was hard.
It made me guess how much training and hardening the calluses stuck here and there were.
Emily’s smart brain allowed her to guess the location and origin of the calluses, and reminded her of future training.
“be careful.”
“huh.”
Emily jumps to her father’s side, and Carlyas holds her daughter in her arms just in case she gets hurt.
A good looking woman no matter who sees it.
After crossing the forest without speaking for a long time, the two soon stopped in one place.
“This is where it is.”
“This is where I fell. Fortunately, traces remain.”
Emily was about to ask why she was here, but she soon shut her mouth.
It was because Callius reached out and spread Letetti’s wings.
“Catch it.”
“…huh.”
flutter.
Callius and Emily, who flew up a little with a flurry of fine snow powder, quickly fell into the gap in the forest.
However, it was a pit that no one was reluctant to approach, so even after going down for a long time, there was no end in sight.
“Emily. Do you remember what I said earlier?”
“You caught a troll here?”
“okay.”
“huh.”
I remember it.
The sword against the warlord in the Northern War was a sword made of trolls.
Others might have doubts at least once, but Emily did not.
By now, it had been proven that it was not a lie by invading the North.
“However, there is one thing that has not been said. Down here is the Holy Land.”
“A holy place?”
“okay. I was three years ago. I found a holy place and planted what I got there.”
Even now, how he obtained Balterus’ Tears remains a mystery.
However, now that I think about it, there are many things in this world that he did not set.
It was reasonable to assume that someone changed the settings after his death or that the world itself had changed.
like Emily.
‘Come to think of it, there should have been goblins originally, but there weren’t.’
Able Fix.
Originally, there should have been goblins in the place where the fairies’ tombs were located.
If my memory is correct, it should have been.
However, there was no
‘Although goblins have a habit of leaving their seats after making a deal, the fairies’ tomb is…’
He was probably the first to enter.
If you don’t have a ghost force, you won’t be able to pass through the barrier. It’s the same reason why Junice couldn’t enter.
But why were there no goblins?
I really don’t know.
“dad?”
“Well, since they captured the troll and pulled it up, there’s a chance it might have been discovered. But I think the odds are slim.”
“Because you hid the holy ground?”
“okay. They were only interested in the trolls, so they wouldn’t have thought there was a shrine there.”
In the first place, they must have come here only with the fact that there are trolls.
Whoops-.
Letiti’s wings folded.
The descent began to accelerate exponentially.
“I planted a holy flower there.”
sacred flower. Tears of Balterus.
“But I will empty the North again. It’s a body that can’t last long.”
“also? why?”
“It is a body being chased.”
“Your father is being chased?”
being that strong?
“Is it an empire? Because of that… saintess?”
Emily’s expression is complex and subtle.
Maybe he cares about that.
“no. If it was an empire that was after me, I would gladly fight.”
“Then…”
“Now you don’t need to know. Just know that I can’t handle all of them right now.”
“Father too…?”
Emily dared not even imagine.
For her, the most powerful enemy is the empire first and the second empire.
However, even though his father doesn’t know the empire, he says he can’t handle them. How small is my world?
And I couldn’t help but be shocked by how wide his world was.
“Don’t worry. We will be together for a while.”
“I wasn’t worried about that.”
Flutter-!
Letetti’s folded wings unfolded.
The falling body instantly felt floating, and Callius’ toes touched the ground.
fault.
at the same time.
A red eye from the abyss appeared stealthily and looked at them.
Emily immediately tried to pull out the sword from her waist, but
Colius’s hand restrained it.
“go away.”
Whoa-!
When Callius sprinkled his life as if it were annoying, the beasts of the abyss were startled and ran away with a squeak.
difference in class.
Since it was a beast, it must have felt more clearly and ran away.
Still, there are a lot of guys who are secretly hiding.
The number of them was definitely increasing significantly more than before. Colleas stopped and looked at Emily.
“Emily. I want you to come here once in a while.”
“I?”
“We need someone to take care of the torch planted in the holy ground. Because I can’t stay in Carpe for long in the north.”
Remember this road well.
Callius, walking along the road floating a mine made with divine power, easily found a den made by a troll in the past.
“I couldn’t even touch it until here.”
An empty cave.
A pile of collapsed stones on one side.
There are many large stones that look as if one side of the ground has collapsed, so you probably wouldn’t have dared to touch them.
He must have been frantic about catching trolls in the first place, so he probably didn’t even pay attention.
“Stay away.”
“Do I have to clean up here?”
“okay.”
Colius’ eyes turn purple.
Soon, a huge yogic force flows out.
Soon, he reached out and used the Sullivian-style sacred art to return the stones to their original positions and make the walls smoother.
Koo Goo Goo Palace.
As if time had turned back, the stones floated up into the sky and gathered to the ceiling, and soon became the ceiling and walls without a single scratch and were absorbed.
At the same time, the hole in the wall is filled up and transformed into a door with a square gap.
Soon after, Callius put his hand on the door.
slither.
Intaglios, like those of a court martial, slowly emerge from his fingertips and begin to decorate the gates of the holy land.
Although teratological patterns are engraved, intaglios embroidered based on certain rules replace the role of magic and complete the barrier.
This barrier is a combination of sacred art and fairy magic.
Unless you have divinity and spirit power.
It became a door that would never be opened unless Colius was permitted to do so.
‘If I make the outside at this point, nothing bad will happen.’
If someone had seen it, it would have been a god, but Callius took out the iron lord and summoned a knight with an attitude that seemed natural.
“Gavu.”
[Goooooooo!]
The gray knight rose from the black shadow.
His body was over 7 meters tall, suitable for this den, and his entire body was covered in black armor, and a gray aura emanated from his eyes and gaps.
But if you saw the staked club he was holding, you could instantly identify him.
“Dad, this…”
“It’s an enhanced troll. Now you are my knight.”
Reinforced troll Gaby.
Now a general-level knight. became a gav.
Most of the trolls didn’t die well. In order to make a sword, it was good that the original body was intact, and it was good that the blood and flesh or bones were not damaged in order to sell it as a material for fortune telling.
Those who were said to have been burned or mutilated because of this, Colius decided to make them into his own knights.
Trolls themselves are also strong, but the trolls strengthened by them had the rank of a general as soon as they were raised.
One out of five would be fine to have as a gatekeeper guarding this place.
“Keep this place.”
[Oh!]
Now I feel more at ease when I see Gaby standing confidently.
It would be difficult for even the strongest to withstand Gaby’s blow.
“Let’s go in.”
Soon he pushes the door.
Drurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
The stone door opened as if to let out a scream.
And what struck them soon was divine power as rich as ecstasy.
And the stone statue standing tall in it and the torch filling the surroundings.
Balterus’ tears were blooming.
“Wow…”
Callius stopped Emily from trying to get ahead, and suddenly drew out her sword.
“Who are you?”
there was someone
A hooked nose and raised eyes.
green skin.
Curvy back and small stature.
“A goblin?”
The intruders of the Holy Land are none other than goblins.
It was a goblin holding a sack.
