The Paladin Owns the Relic

68 – Search for Paramer (14)

I threw the spear right away. A spear pierced through the rotted, penetrated deep into the security system.

“Beatrice! Burn that!”

【Leave it to me!】

The bruenak thrown with a lot of holy power caught fire. It pierced the magic barrier deeply and broke some circuits.

“Only burn the 1st security barrier!”

【What is that?!】

“All you have to do is burn everything there! Don’t hang it next to it!”

Hwaruk

Literally setting fire. The magic barrier was strong. However, that did not mean that he was stronger than Brunak.

【aaa!!!】

Intense flames exploded. The sound stopped for an instant. Burned-out circuits and destroyed primary barriers.

As soon as the sound of destroying the city stopped, the rot began to fall back. It set on fire and fled, disappearing again into the darkness of the night.

I cracked my neck.

“What were you guys thinking when you did this?”

“Ooh, we…”

He stretched out his hand. Brunak was sucked into the palm of the road. When I hit the fire with a hook, Beatrice’s spiritual body clung to my shoulder.

【Ha ha ha… I want to burn more… More…]

“Be patient.”

A section of the city was blown up by fire. I can’t count the number of buildings I burned down to get here.

If I knew the culprit was me, I would later blow away enough of my property to trip over Paramer when it was restored.

From noble mtl dot com.

Does a real country need to be burned to be satisfied?

I grabbed the hooded elf by the back of his neck. The flinching elves shouted simultaneously.

“No, let go!”

“Who dare!”

“Since I don’t know, I want to see your face.”

I forcibly took off the hood.

“Who are you…”

Our eyes met.

Beautiful platinum hair. At first glance, it is a different color from Dimona. But the fact that it also belonged to blinding beauty was the same.

It’s an elf. She was much prettier than the average elf, but she wasn’t much different from other elves. Even though they have similar faces, what are they hiding…

…Huh?

Something hangs above the platinum blonde’s head. White flowers. I quickly raised my hand.

I grabbed the white flower and pulled it lightly.

“Ah, ah!”

“What are you doing!”

“Let go now!”

“I can’t believe this…”

I frowned. Oh f*ck

A parasitic flower on top of your head. There is only one instance of an elf wearing flowers in her hair like a mad b*tch.

“Why did the fairy queen’s daughter come all the way here?”

“……!”

She caught her and looked at me with surprised rabbit eyes.

“Do you know me?”

“You know the flower of the spirit. Name is?”

“F, it’s Flora.”

Oh sh*t. I thought it was a familiar face.

Why is the main NPC here again!

“Flora…Yes. Flora. What are you here to do? Huh? Do you know what you did made me lose everything?”

“Mo, I didn’t know…”

“If you don’t know, uh! Is that the end?!”

“Hee, hee.”

“Let go of Flora right now!”

“You son of a b*tch!”

The elves raised their crossbows. I frowned.

“Insert the one without the arrow. Huh? Hey. You…”

If these bastards made it this far, there must be one thing they tried to take away. Anytime, anywhere, the elves always wanted to get that item.

“Are you looking for the tears of Yggdrasil?”

“…That, how did you…”

“How is it, Nabal? Hey. Can’t pierce that Do you know that Paramer is a town on the outskirts? It’s a big city and even has a long history. These are guys who have jumped over hundreds of years. Can an underground warehouse be opened overnight in a place like that?”

At least it was blocked around the 1st security level. If the secondary security had been breached, the method itself to stop the alarm sound would have disappeared.

It was rewarding to come as soon as possible. I thrust the spear blade into Flora’s neck. I want to kill you, but…

You cannot kill her as it is linked to her world tree. A mark will be left on me, and the world tree will declare me public. It is certain that he will be chased by elves for the rest of his life.

But I still can’t let it go. I’ll fix my habit just thinking of the hard work I’ve been through!

Fortunately, there were innumerable ways to scold other than killing. How to scrape an elf’s pride. Even counting with your eyes closed is hundreds.

Let’s try that.

“Get down.”

The elves bit the crab foam.

“Stop talking bullsh*t and let go of Flora! Right Now!”

“Huh? Aren’t you listening? Won’t you lie down?!”

“Ji, what are you saying…”

“Down! These bastards! Turn your ass or this way! My neck is flying!”

“What, what are you talking about?! Seriously, you’re trying to violate us…!”

“Pak. I think I’ll really do it. Get down and stick your ass out this way! Right Now! Or the blood and blood of your beloved fairy queen…”

I giggled. He thrust the bruenak deeper into Flora’s neck.

“What do you think will happen? Huh?”

“…This… Devil…!”

“There is nothing I can’t say to the priest. Shut up and everyone get down! Bastards!”

The elves groaned and prostrated themselves. I turned my ass towards me.

I approached slowly. Flora struggled in her arms.

“What are you trying to do! Don’t do that!”

“I made a mistake, so I have to pay the price.”

I took Flora’s hand.

Elves have strong pride. Loyalty is also strong, tenacious and consistent.

So the shock when it breaks is also great.

It’s like experiencing death!

“Hey Flora. Spread her hands like this.”

“Eh? To? To?”

“Should misbehaving children be punished?”

I grabbed her hand and slapped the elf on the butt.

Slap!

The elf’s waist bent like a bow.

“Oh, what?! Ph-Flora?!”

“Oh no?! Didn’t I…?!”

I smiled broadly.

“Let’s hit only 100 units with the hands of the owner who loves us. Got it?”

“Poetry, I hate it!!”

“Oh no! Sorry!”

“Huh!”

The perfect way to hit or hit or both.

The best way to discipline an elf!

. . .

The basement of the clock tower. Where refugees were confined.

Rosemary reached into it. It’s too quiet. The noise from outside did not reach the basement.

“This is it.”

The strange man who handed me the lunch box led the way. Moving along the sewers that stretched beneath Paramer, I saw an open door full of dust.

A place that was once firmly closed and no one could open it.

“My name is Ideal Door.”

As if trying to break the silence, a strange man introduced himself.

“He was a high-ranking official in Paramere, and he was in charge of administration.”

“Where is this place?”

“The basement of the clock tower was originally a kind of bunker built in preparation for war. A place known only to the lord and a handful of government officials… We fled here as soon as the plague began to spread in Paramer.”

“…A plague?”

“I still don’t know whether to describe it as an illness or a curse. One day, the whole city went dark with a grotesque cry. The black mist rising from the clock tower rushed all over Paramer.”

The idea shook his body.

“That, that was hell. A hell where people attack each other and monsters give off a strange rotten stench. We ran away. I went underground and waited for the situation to end. But…”

“You mean you were locked up for 10 years?”

“…Yes. Strangely, the door once locked did not open again. The emergency rations we had stocked up ran out in three years. We were hungry. So…”

The air got heavy. Rosemary sighed.

Isolated environment with nothing to eat. And there was only one thing that meant he was still alive.

“…Did you eat cannibals?”

“…Mo, I don’t know. My memory is hazy. We just want to live. Priest. Have mercy… Have mercy… Give me something to eat…”

Idyll sobbed. Rosemary walked without speaking.

Though their circumstances were pitiful, their minds were focused elsewhere. I couldn’t afford to think of anything else.

The paladin who showed his back and evacuated the others first. His junior and enemy who will still remain on the ground.

Rosemary sighed.

He swore to kill with his own hands. But now that he has passed away, why does he feel worse? I couldn’t understand why he was still worried.

…No. Tilt It would be just an illusion. Rosemary struggled to suppress the leaking heart. Jahad whispered in his head.

-You want me to see you?

Isn’t it?! Shut your mouth!

My outstretched foot got caught in something.

Tak.

Rosemary straightened him when he almost fell. The road was over.

Dark Square. People with black spots were clinging to the walls as if frightened.

And there was someone at the end.

“…Hoo?”

Another group holding torches. Not people with black spots. Rather, he is the one who is trampling on them.

A armor that glistens in the light, and a relaxed attitude.

The imperial knights and wizards who seemed to have arrived first looked back at themselves.

“Amazing. That he was alive A group of denominations.”

“…Ian Pamel.”

The imperial knight was laughing. As the torches swayed, the shadows of laughter also lengthened.

“How did you survive? Do those rotten ones have any weaknesses? Very amazing The church must have unexpectedly sent a talented person.”

“…You bastard!”

“Were you alive too? Mercenary. There was definitely a tactile feeling in your hand, but did you mean to save it? You seem to be pretty good at it. Priests. But now, that’s all irrelevant.”

“Killed…!”

Rosemary grabbed Daniel by the scruff of the neck. The atmosphere was strange for some reason.

Wizard Hudson was silent. So did the others. The imperial knights quietly put their hands on their swords and said nothing.

“…What do you mean it doesn’t matter?”

“It is literally. It has nothing to do with it.”

Ian shook his hand. What he is holding is a book that looks like a diary.

“The search for Paramer is over.”

“…What?”

“We have achieved our goal. The secrets of Paramer have been uncovered, and those secrets are also in our hands. Congratulations. Group of denominations. You survived You can congratulate yourself.”

“What bullsh*t is that?!”

“Please explain first! What kind of situation is this!”

“Simple.”

The knights drew their swords. Magic happened in the hands of wizards.

Ian whispered.

“It is said that the secret of Paramere is in my hands. With this we can go further. It means that I am not the leader of the fallen knights of the past.”

“What are you doing?”

“You know what? A monster lives at the top of the clock tower. And right under it is a girl. Among the rotten ones, it’s the only one that isn’t rotten. She was of the opposite s*x and could talk. Most important of all, she could handle the monster that lived on top of the clock tower. That’s sick It is a weapon, and it is the only way to move the monster sleeping in the clock tower.”

“…What?”

“The cause of all this black mist is the monster in the clock tower. Kill it, and the Black Mist will also disappear. We decided not to kill it.”

“To use it as a weapon? f*ck that, Hudson. Did you agree with that too? That’s the one who brought disaster to Paramer! A monster that has killed countless people! You… You decided to tame it?! This is insane!!!”

Hudson averted his gaze. He nodded.

“The blue mage tower came here for one reason. To get a research sample of a kind you’ve never had before.”

“So you took part in this crazy scheme? In exchange for a research sample?”

“…It’s not just that. It is our lifeline.”

Hudson gritted his teeth. As if taking off a mask he had been hiding so far, he revealed his malice.

“There is no way for us either. Rosemary The Heretic Questioner. The blue mage tower has abandoned us. I came here for an opportunity. It has to work somehow. In the first place, I wasn’t going to be satisfied with simply retrieving Paramer. If I use the ancient monster, my school can rise to the top of the blue mage tower again. I… I don’t care what happens, but I have to find a place for my students to go. I cannot accept the abandonment of the children I raised.”

Daniel burst into anger.

“Didn’t the wizard himself tell you! The Mage Tower has no involvement in making war weapons!”

From noble mtl dot com.

“…Said Sir Ian. Even if it is made into a weapon, if it is not used, it is not a weapon. Can’t you just see it as a ‘power’ that prevents war? It is a difference of opinion.”

“Did you fall for that ridiculous persuasion?!”

“Ooh, we don’t want to do this either!”

The sorceress let out a scream.

“Ha, but I can’t help it! All of the funding for magic research has been cut off, and we were sent here before we were officially expelled from the Mage Tower for lack of results!”

“…Wasn’t it that you were trying to save me?”

“Everyone… Everyone has circumstances, right? Me, I don’t want to do this either. But you can’t help it. Tongue, you can gain a future if you cooperate… You don’t have to be satisfied with rewards that are only words. Uh, maybe we can build our own mage tower here…”

“That’s exactly what it says. We had a lot to gain from each other. Once we saw the possibility of controlling the monster, we decided to stick together until the end.”

Rosemary grabbed the axe.

“…Do you think our churches will just stand by while trying to tame a filthy monster that has killed countless people?”

“The age of God has passed. Now is the human age. It was just adding one more ancient monster on top of it. What can the church do if they find out? Aren’t they just servants of the empire?”

Ian shook his shoulders.

“Did you say rosemary? A priest of the Church of Ra. The fearless church will not even know about this. You are buried here, and with that, everything is over. If you lie down quietly, I’ll let you kill me in peace.”

“… Ha.”

Rosemary growled. The ax she raised caught fire.

“What will happen from now on is self-inflicted.”

The overflowing holy power rushed in in an instant.

“Even if I kill everyone, I won’t have anything to say.”

“Let’s make a lot of noise.”

Ian’s sword was dyed red.

“Because now is the last time she moves her mouth.”
