Episode 213. Master and Student (3)
“Really, no matter how much I kill, there’s no end to it!”
Zahat opened his mouth in a blunt voice as he slashed the demon running towards him.
There was no sign of fatigue in his voice, but he could sense that more and more demons were beginning to gather here.
“My back hurts too, I guess I came along for no reason!”
Linne also knows that such complaints are not genuine.
Linne, like Zahat, also cut down one of the demons.
Linne's complexion did not change at all as the thick purple mucus clung to her sword, making her frown.
“Is Linne okay?”
“Yes, I’m still fine.”
“Then, I guess I should finish it off while it’s still good.”
As he spoke, an aura slowly began to overflow from Zahat's body.
As if in response to Zahat's aura, the 'demons' began to show signs of abnormality in their bodies.
The demons fell to the ground, spitting out mucus, and their corpses began to crumble into dust and scatter into the air.
“Huh? What’s going on?”
The flustered Zahat put away his 'Aura' and looked around. Linne had no doubts. Looking at the face of the person walking out from inside, she was sure of what had happened.
“Lord Yurian.”
Linne called his name. At the same time, she was about to ask what had happened to her teacher, but she was silenced by the familiar face he was holding.
It was breathtaking.
“Umm…….”
Likewise, Zahat let out a short sigh.
The swordsman in Yurian's arms was as quiet as death.
As Linnaeus approached in a hurry, Yulian carefully put Haydn down.
Not breathing. Linne, who saw that sight, wanted to lash out at him with harsh words, but barely managed to suppress them in her mind.
Yulian wasn't smiling.
That alone made me realize how deplorable this situation is right now.
“What happened?”
The moment she opened her mouth, Linne was surprised that she could be so calm.
I knew deep down that this would happen.
“The Master sacrificed his own body and became one with the Patriarch of the Dawn Society.”
At Yurian's words, Linne nodded with a miserable expression and hugged her master's body.
***
The Death of Haydn Reich.
That fact caused an uproar in the system.
[The Return of the Sword Saint, the Fallen Star.]
[What happened in the Holy Land?]
His death was covered in every newspaper, and tributes to 'Geomseong' were on the front page of every paper.
[The man that Black Swordsman was chasing, Tenelon. Who is he?]
[The Pagans, the Dawn Society, Hidden in Secret]
In addition, it was not difficult to find stories about the Dawn Society's Patriarch, Tenelon.
'I bought it.'
Lazrot looked at it and thought, Most of the bishops are making this big deal out of avoiding trouble with the 'Cult of Dawn'.
It was a natural thing.
If they are people of the rank of 'Bishop', most of them will be nobles, and they will know that if they get involved with the 'Dawn Society', it will not end as an ordinary matter.
Because of that, the organization called 'Dawn Society' is spreading the atmosphere in the system that it will collapse the moment the 'Patriarch' dies, so as not to cause unnecessary sparks.
'I bought it, I bought it.'
Lazrot, who thought he could get out at any time despite being an official, nodded while reading the newspaper.
Either way, it would be best for everyone to stay quiet for the time being, as there could be another aftershock.
'… … Besides, if we keep quiet, it will be easier for Sir Yurian to take the position of Patriarch.'
In fact, many of the monsignors and 'bishops' who had animosity towards Yurian were cleared out due to this 'Bishop Hunt' incident.
Pintel and Yurian's direct private soldiers, 'Ttanggeomi'. Thanks to their help, Yurian's evaluation has completely changed.
'Those who still harbor ill feelings toward Sir Yurian.'
A cold system, I guess I'm stuck under it.
At that thought, a creepy feeling began to creep up Lazrot's back.
Suddenly, I remembered the time when I was a double spy, going back and forth between 'Closed Eyes' and the Imperial Secretariat.
'It might have been a good thing that Sir Yurian found out.'
If his identity had not been discovered and he had continued to work as Aiden's subordinate, his head might not be above his neck like it is now.
“Ahem.”
Lazrot, with his arms full of documents, stood in front of Yurian's office.
Then, I raised my hand to knock, but for some reason I hesitated.
'Yurien Kyungdo, are you heartbroken by the death of the Sword Master?'
Even though he was excommunicated, he was still a teacher and a student. Since the person who changed his life has passed away, there must have been some kind of emotional change, big or small.
“No, why don’t you just go in quickly?”
As Lazrot hesitated to knock, a familiar voice was heard from beside him.
It's Zahat.
Looking at his face, Lazrot looked slightly embarrassed.

It's because I remember opening my mouth to ask to be taught swordsmanship.
“……What is Sir Yulian’s current condition?”
Zahat shrugged his shoulders in response to Lazrot's question.
“I don’t know what it’s like normally, but it’s not bad.”
After that, Zahat opened his mouth again.
“Nothing much happened. He just hummed while watering the plants and read a book with a calm expression on his face.”
When he heard Zahat's words, Lazrot felt something strange.
Even if you watered it, it was humming and had a calm expression on its face?
Above all else.
“……If nothing is wrong, why doesn’t Lord Zahat go inside?”
It is suspicious that Zahat is not going in and is loitering around outside.
The reason can be understood with just a little thought.
“Doesn’t Lord Zahat also find it strange?”
It's clear that he came here because he had something to say. However, the atmosphere was so strange that he was afraid to go inside.
"hmm……."
As if he had been hit on the core, Zahat groaned.
“Is Lord Zahat alright?”
“Well, I’ve seen my friends die countless times.”
“Just because you experience it doesn’t mean it doesn’t hurt.”
Zahat burst into laughter at the slightly adult-like words.
“Haha, there’s nothing a young kid can’t say. That’s what it means to be numb to emotions. Anything is hard at first, but it gets easier after that.”
“Tsk,” Zahat clicked his tongue.
“But, it is true that it is difficult once. I lost a friend, but didn’t Yurian lose his only teacher? The teacher he once followed like a father?”
Lazrot was secretly impressed as he watched Zahat speak in an adult tone, not in an 'adult' tone.
“I see you are aware of the fact that even Lord Zahat has a keen eye.”
Zahat looked at Lazrot with a bewildered expression at his honest feelings.
“Okay, so you should be careful and help me out, kid.”
Knock, knock──!
As soon as he finished speaking, Zahat knocked on the door.
'huh?'
You said you came because you had something to say, so do you plan on talking first?
But that doesn't matter. If you can somehow dilute the bad atmosphere, that's what Lazrot hopes for.
“Please take care of me.”
One, Zahat left the place as if he was running away after saying those words.
'What, what is it!?'
Just as the flustered Lazrot was about to grab Zahat, a voice was heard from the office.
“Please come in.”
Yulian's voice.
If no one comes in even after knocking, you might think someone is playing a prank.
"yes yes!"
His fiery temper and the bad situation. Thinking that the two might come together, Lazrot opened the door and stepped inside.
'Sir Zahat… …!'
While chewing over the insults against Zahat in my mind.
“Lazrot, what is it?”
As Zahat said, Yurian didn't seem to have changed much.
The atmosphere was as usual, with people watering the bonsai and moving pots that shouldn't be exposed to sunlight into the shade.
Sneak.
Lazrot examined Yurian's face.
His face, which had his silver hair swept back once, still showed no emotion.
‘… … That’s why it’s even scarier.’
Although he hasn't shown any signs of it lately, in the past, 'Yurian' was someone who would always say that 'Geumseong' should die by his own hand.
Goals and objectives. He could have been furious at losing those two milestones, but Yurian remained calm until the end.
Like a storm that could strike at any moment.
“Lazrot.”
"yes!?"
At that moment, Yurian's voice was heard again.
“Didn’t you ask what was going on?”
“Oh, yes!”
At his words, Lazrot hurriedly took out the documents from his bosom.
“I have some things to report.”
“Please speak.”
“First, here is the official notice regarding the death of Lord Haydn Reich.”
Haydn Reich.
When that name was mentioned, Yurian, who had been tending the flower pot, turned his head and met Lazrot's gaze.
“I wonder what the royal family will say about this matter.”
“……If the people related to Lord Haydn Reich hear it, it may be unpleasant, but the Imperial Family has stated that there will be no event whatsoever to commemorate the death of the hero ‘Sword Saint’.”
"hmm."
Yurian's short sigh. Hearing that, it felt like my breath would stop, but Lazrot continued to open his mouth.
“Also, it is said that he will not be buried in Yeongnyeongyo, the national cemetery.”
“Well, you did return to the system to cooperate with the investigation, but you ended up in exile.”
It's a convincing presentation.
Yulian added:
It was so small that it was hard to hear.
“Haha, that’s ridiculous, Lazrot.”
"yes?"
“It’s like a nobleman who worked for the Adratan Empire his entire life is discussing which country’s graveyard he should be buried in, let alone being buried in the Yeongryungyo.”
Lazrot kept his mouth shut for a moment at the question that was difficult to answer.
