Chapter 349
Leblaine moved to the temple with Juliet.
As expected, the temple was heavily guarded. No matter how foolish the king of Mojas was, he could not have prepared for anything when Duke Dubblede was locked up in prison.
They must have thought that we wouldn’t do anything since we suffered damage from the war with Neliard church.
Above all else, if we invaded, it would be obvious that we would come to their temple, so the temple is guarded more.
Leblaine and Juliet were counting the soldiers guarding the temple from the bushes.
When Leblaine stepped out, Juliet hurriedly grabbed her.
“What are you going to do…!”
“I’m going to march ahead.”
“Are you crazy?”
Juliet looked at her like a madman and sighed heavily.
“No matter how strong you are with the power of God, you can never win against that many people. They’re the best magic unit on the continent.”
“That’s why we can win.”
“……What?”
“If they can’t just use magic, that means we’ll win.”
Leblaine, who smiled, threw something towards them.
Bump!
It slipped after it bumped against a mage’s head. The soldiers hurriedly raised swords, spears, bows, and staff toward the direction it flew from.
“Baal.”
In an instant, a vine that grew from the ground caught those people.
The mages tried some spells to cut down the vines.
But…
“Isn’t it…”
“Yes.”
That’s suwon.
They can’t use magic where the suwon is.
Juliet opened her mouth and looked at Leblaine.
At the same time, the Palace of Mojas.
“Mages-!!”
The emperor shouted with a pale face, but the mages did not know what to do.
After Duke Dubblede exploded the prison, they could not use magic.
No, to be exact, after Duke Dubblede threw someone towards them.
“Ou, we, throw suwon. We-we protect the bloodline of adventurers!”
As the bent nymph shouted, the other nymphs around the Duke of Dubblede began to randomly throw suwon at the mages.
Seto, one of Seria’s younger siblings and a half-nymph, shouted excitedly.
“There’s no way that the lady didn’t prepare anything while sending her precious father as a envoy to the enemy country!”
Even before departing for Mojas, Dubblede prepared several carts full of suwon.
So that they cannot use magic when they try to attack Duke Dubblede.
The Duke of Dubblede slowly approached King of Mojas.
“H-how dare you…!”
The King of Mojas was pale and he was shaking.
Duke Dubblede opened his mouth slowly while wiping the blood off his sword.
“I hate stupid people.”
“What, what?”
“Especially those who are ignorant when they’re at a life and death situation.”
“What are you saying? Kneel down right now… Aaaah!”
Duke Dubblede’s sword pierced King Mojas’ shoulder.
“It seems there’s no need to take more time, so I’ll explain the situation.”
“M, m-mages…!”
“Mojas’ proud mages can no longer use magic, and the knights are in disarray. Do you know what it means?”
“…….”
“It means that the leash is on my hand.”
The duke shouted with an indifferent expression.
“Kneel down.”
Nos and other Dubblede knights dragged King Mojas out roughly and knelt him down.
Mojas’ royal family was watching the whole situation at the dinner hall, but no one dared to step up.
When Duke Dubblede, who was sitting on the table crossed his legs, Nos lifted King Mojas’ hair.
The Duke of Dubblede said,
“Sit down.”
The royal families and nobles of Mojas, who received his attention, sat while trembling.
It was followed by Dubblede’s knights, and the nymphs who guarded the mages.
“Shall we start the meeting?”
The nobles of Mojas screamed inside.
Where in the world is a meeting that begins with the king kneeling down?
***
I looked at Mojas’ knights who were spread out like matchsticks and nodded.
The explosions happened at one of the palace, and the knights asked for assistance, but there was no answer from the main palace.
‘Dad seems to have arranged it well.’
“Boone, now withdraw your troops.”
Then the ghost soldiers dispersed into a fog.
I knocked on the outer wall of the temple.
“Something is here. It doesn’t seem like a barrier…”
“You blocked the magic with suwon, but the barrier is still working.”
Juliet sighed and said so. I tilted my head and asked.
“Then what is it? What is it that surrounds the outer wall so strongly?”
I don’t think my attack has any flaws.
“It’s the power of God.”
“Are other temple also surrounded by this kind of power?”
If so, I’m worried about Gahong.
‘No matter how powerful Hong-hae is, her power alone will not be able to destroy it.’
Juliet shook her head.
“Other temples may be surrounded by powerful force, but it won’t be this much. This is because Mojas dramatically strengthened it with magic.”
“Is there any reason to strengthen it?”
If Neliard was not crazy and trying to collapse the world like he is now, the temple is a place where it would not be attacked.
Even if a war breaks out, other countries will not touch this place.
It would be troublesome if they touched the wrong place with the power of God and got cursed.
When I narrowed my forehead, Juliet also narrowed her forehead.
“…you’re definitely quick-witted.”
“What does it mean?”
“Let’s go in.”
She can break through the barrier?
When Juliet shook her hand in front of the lion stone statue guarding the temple, the stone statue disappeared and the door opened with a sound.
I tilted my head and followed Juliet.
“How can you get in?”
“They used me as a medium when strengthening the divine barrier with magic.”
“……What?”
Juliet turned to me and shrugged.
“It’s also the reason why even if the emperor hates me, he can never kill me.”
[How can he use his daughter as a test subject…?! Child, the king of Mojas is worse than the devil!]
Boone exclaimed.
Juliet walked silently. As we reached the center of the temple, a huge strangely shaped gemstone was wrapped in several layers of metal rings.
A tremendous degree of magic wrapped around the gemstone like a wall.
I looked at the barrier engraved in the air and hardened.
“Juliet, this is…”
“…….”
“This is crazy.”
As my emotions became uncontrollable, Pur, Boone, and Storas also become the same way.
“What’s going on, child?”
“Why, huh? What?!”
Storas saw it, and after a while he burst into cynical laughter as if in shock.
“You have stolen God’s blessing.”
“…….”
Juliet had nothing to say, as Pur and Boone’s eyes widened.
“You intercept it?”
“The blessing?”
Storas looked at Juliet, who had her arms crossed and her head bowed silently.
“You intercepted the rain of the continent to create a great drought, intercepted sunlight to enrich the land, and intercepted the breath of God to drive out the disease.”
“…….”
“All kinds of disasters have been pushed out to other countries, and you guys enjoyed the blessings you intercepted. Right?
“……Yes.”
I ripped off Juliet’s sleeve roughly.
“……!”
Her arms rotted all over. It wasn’t just arms. Her skin is rottin, and the only thing that is intact is the part exposed above the clothes.
“Is that why you were nice to Hong-hae? Because Gahong suffered the most from you stealing the rain?!”
“……Yes.”
“How could that be? How-!”
“I guess it’s because we’re the children of beasts.”
Juliet looked at me with an indifferent expression.
“I don’t really have much conscience because I had a bloodline of garbage.”
“…there is no way you could have maintained this type of magic with the power of one person.”
“…….”
“Tell me! What happened?”
Juliet approached the wall behind the gemstone. When she removed the tapestry covering the wall, something came out.
There were corpses.
I was startled when I saw the corpse that had fallen to the ground.
Blonde and mole under the chin.
‘Mom?’
No, no.
It’s not my mother
‘But this person looks so much like my mother… … .’
Juliet lowered her head and said.
“The Temple of Neliard killed the Shaymans under the guise of a flood. We’ve helped them, and in return, we’ve received the bodies of the Shayman people.”
“…That’s absurd. An intact corpse?”
“I completed the rite using them, who are the blood of God, and I am able to wield the power of God.”
I rubbed my forehead with a shocked expression.
‘The hand of the temple also reached here.’
Mom is the blood of the Shayman tribe. Shayman was a tribe where marriages between their tribe were normal, so there would have been many people who resembled my mother.
I reached out my hand to the person who resembled my mother on a pile of corpses.
The moment I closed her eyes.
The gemstone shined.
[…aine.]
And I heard a voice.
[Leblaine.]
‘A familiar voice.’
A friendly voice was heard, and the body opened its eyes.
Boone quickly grabbed me and pulled me away from the corpse.
The body staggered towards me.
I clenched my teeth.
[My little sister.]
“Neliard!”
Eventually, he appeared on this earth.
