I must draw my sword immediately!

Chapter 55 Smoke of War
on the city wall,

Meli looked at Lucan and Dagonet, her brows furrowing slightly.

She felt that the two of them were becoming increasingly strange, more and more like knights who truly served a king.

But only she knew that Sua was a fake, and in reality, he didn't really want to be the King of Britain.
If she hadn't threatened him with a dagger, Suya wouldn't have even told the lie of pretending to be the king. This unlucky guy's biggest wish before he died was to hide in a mountain valley and practice martial arts until he became invincible.

He is undoubtedly a very sincere person.

But it was precisely this sincerity that gradually led things in a strange direction, causing those who initially wanted to use him to subtly change their intentions, and even making Mary feel somewhat sorry for him.
The day I saw those strange battle markings growing on his body,

Looking back on everything I've been through,

With immense determination, Meili finally gave up her idea of ​​making Suya king and then robbing him of his money. She thought that once she reached the capital and won back everything she had lost, she would give him a sum of money and then send him to some remote mountain valley where no one could find him.

In such a chaotic world, to possess such talent, it's hard for this unfortunate fellow not to attract the attention of some with ulterior motives.
only--

It seems too late.

Lucan then turned around with a smile and asked:
"So, Miss Meryl, what do you think?"

"I'll lie down and watch."

Meryl lay prone on the battlements, standing on tiptoe and looking down at the boy below, watching him struggle to tumble and leap.
"What do you want from me calling me over in the middle of the night?"

Lukan immediately bowed slightly and made his request:

"I would like to ask you to teach the King how to connect to the Great Source, replenish magic power, and use magic inscriptions."

"Then, master [Magic Release]."

"This shouldn't be a problem for Miss Meryl, who has such a crest, right?"

Mary chuckled, as if she had heard a joke.
"Magic can only be released with magic. Perhaps for him, magic does not need to be compensated by life. It can be generated naturally as long as he is full."

At this point, Meryl turned her head with amusement, looking at Lukan as if she were watching something funny:
"But, you poor wretch, can you afford to feed him right now?"

"Oh~ your thoughts seem to be written all over your face,"

"Oh my, how come you're such an un-fraudulent scammer?"

"How could someone who is universally despised as a stinking rat actually want to cultivate a true king of all Britain?"

Meryl asked coldly:
Are you qualified, Lukan?

"Have you really made up your mind, Lukan?"

"You won't abandon Sua again, just like you abandoned King Uther, will you, Lukan?"

"And what do you intend to do with him, Lukan?"

Lukan's smile froze.

But soon, he smiled nonchalantly and said:

"Well then, thank you for reminding me tonight, Miss Meryl."

"I will take care of the food problem."

"【Magic Release】is the next stage of the course. Before that, I will show you my sincerity."

Meryl looked coldly at Lucan and made an outrageous demand:
"50000 gold pounds."

Lukan didn't even blink, and nodded decisively:

"make a deal."

Mary turned her head, glanced at him in surprise, then scratched the white tuft of hair on her head in annoyance, just about to change her mind.

however,
at this time--

Dagonet's voice suddenly came from the side:

"Wait, look! What's that?!"

Meryl turned her head in response and looked in the direction Dagonet was pointing towards the north side of Pendenburg.

Under a night sky filled with the brilliance of countless stars,

About 25 kilometers from Pendenburg, a small blue-green flame suddenly appeared.

Above that cluster of strangely colored lights that suddenly appeared,
Thick smoke billowed into the sky!

#
The night was as dark as ink, swallowing up the plains and hills of western Cornwall.

Suddenly, the first burst of light pierced the darkness, exploding from the clock tower of Sol—it was oak wood soaked in pine resin that had been set ablaze!

Flames danced wildly in the cage, licking the damp air and exploding into crackling sparks that stained the guards' silver plate armor blood red.

Several Sol's garrison soldiers, their faces grim, threw blocks of sulfur into the flames.

Sulfur quickly mixed into the fire, and a strange blue-green flame leaped up from the orange-red flames.
This is a code word for 'encountering an enemy attack'.

And soon,
Twenty-five miles away, a sentry on a stone tower was dozing with his eyes half-closed when suddenly a strangely colored spot of light appeared in his half-open pupils.

His face froze, he blinked in disbelief, and suddenly snapped out of his daze, immediately turning around and roaring down:

"Enemy attack!"

"Sol City is under attack!"

"Quick, light it!"

On the tower below the lookout point, two soldiers jumped up in surprise, and without saying a word, immediately lifted the waterproof cloth, took the torch, and probed into the beacon tower.

The moment the torch touched the ground, a series of muffled crackling sounds accompanied by thick smoke shot into the sky!

It was as if a giant dragon lurking underground was spewing out fiery breath.
In a blink of an eye,
The third, the fourth, and the fifth.
The crimson light streaked toward the fallen southern territories, waking the entire slumbering Cornwall!
#
A corner of Pendenburg,
"Fuck!"

Suya fired the last kunai in his hand.
The kunai fired later collided with the kunai in front of it at a faster speed than the kunai fired earlier. Then, one after another, they collided with each other, constantly changing the angle of the shot and propelling them forward!

The kunai at the front, after being enhanced by four consecutive throws, suddenly increased in speed, its blade turning slightly red. Then, like a hot knife through butter, it pierced through a tree trunk ten meters away, rustled through a row of branches, and finally, nailed into the stone wall!

"laugh!"

However, this time, what rang out was not the clanging sound of sharp diamonds, but a clear, silky sound of the wall being smoothly sliced ​​open along the tiny crack!

With no energy left to spare, it shot through the wall for more than ten meters before finally stopping on another wall.

At this time,

Suya then emerged from the flow state of focused practice, first glancing at the accumulated content on the panel, and then stretching her somewhat tired hands and feet.

Instinctively, I reached for the meat of the deformed bird that was lying to the side.
This is the loot that dropped after defeating Pergos.
The magician who tricked Suya did not actually die. As magicians dedicated to researching the origins, these reclusive men usually stayed at home and valued their lives extremely much, so how could they possibly risk their lives?

People like Mary, who lost all their money gambling and had no choice but to resort to robbery, are extremely rare.

Metamorphosis Bird
This is a familiar enslaved by Pergos through necromancy, a living shell capable of housing a will, created through alchemy. It's used by master magicians like him to temporarily store their magic while they're out having fun. Its true form is a special monster found in Ireland.

It can perfectly transform into other creatures, but it will reveal its true form after death or when the alchemical runes collapse.

The wings were quite delicious.

As Suya instinctively reached for another bite of the bird meat, she discovered that, without her noticing, the strange bird, the size of a cow, had been illuminated by her own light.

And then,
Tap, tap, tap, tap!

A series of urgent footsteps rang in my ears.

Suya slightly raised her head and saw that it was already broad daylight. Inside the castle, three hundred soldiers were constantly moving supplies, leading horses, putting on their armor, and cleaning their weapons.

Meryl stood among them, in charge of command and coordination.

Everyone who passed by Suya wore a stern expression.

This surprised Suya slightly. Just as she was about to step forward to ask, she unexpectedly caught a glimpse of something on the city wall out of the corner of her eye—

The sky outside the city,
It was already obscured by countless swaying columns of smoke!
