Playing the Perfect Fox-Eyed Villain Chapter 271

Episode 271. The Remaining Whereabouts (3)

After finishing my business of meeting Kaldrak, I returned to 'Closed Eyes' and saw Pintel and Urhar arguing.

I was curious.

If you were to ask whether there was any reason for the two to get involved in the first place, then there was no reason for them to fight.

“What is going on?”

One, the situation was like this. The two were growling as if they were going to grab each other by the collar.

As I was quietly watching the situation in disbelief, Lazrot quietly approached me.

“Welcome, Sir Yurian.”

“What were you two doing here just now?”

Lazrot also shook his head from side to side as if he was disgusted. He must have been observing the situation, but he didn't seem to want to pay much attention to it.

“As far as I know, the two of you came to see Sir Yurian.”

me?

Well, Pintel wasn't too flustered because he often consulted with me on matters related to the 'Yeomyeonghoe'.

However, Urhar, one of the 'Royal Knights', was a bit questionable.

'I told you to look for Yurian at Fullgorn's mansion a while ago.'

Honestly, I didn't think it would actually come.

In the first place, 'Urhar' is in a position where he must avoid going to 'Closed Eyes' in order to protect the reputation of the Royal Knights.

As the captains of the 'Cheonsugun', the royal guard, shouldn't they maintain their dignity and respect?

'Closed Eyes' is a group comprised mostly of commoners, not nobles. Because of that, there must have been a risk of being looked down on by nobles.

'It must have something to do with the Black Knight.'

There are still some useful places left in Urhar. There is no other reliable source of information to understand the movements of the 'Cheonsu Army'.

“Lord Urhar.”

As I called Urhar's name and approached, the two who had been arguing became quiet.

Pintel hurriedly bowed and greeted me, and Urhar looked at me with a somewhat unpleasant expression.

There were signs that Pintel might get angry again, so I quickly opened my mouth.

“He said he came because he had something to tell me. Please come inside.”

"huh."

Urhar nodded.

“Sir Pintel, could you please wait a moment? I have something urgent to tell you.”

“Understood, Sir Yurian.”

Since the matter related to the 'Dawn Society' was obvious from the beginning, we cannot talk about it while the 'Royal Knights' are around.

Pintel also nodded coolly, as if he understood that point.

Of course, it seems that there are some complaints at all.

“Damn it. I was waiting first…….”

Is that so? Sorry.

***

As he entered my office, Urhar seemed a little hesitant. Was he a little reluctant to bring up the subject of the 'Black Knight' first, or was he?

'Is that because of the country?'

I could tell from the atmosphere that he didn't want to bring up the topic of the 'Black Knight' in front of 'Yurien'.

This guy is like that, and that guy is like that.

Only those who find out who the 'Black Knight' is will be surprised and do somersaults.

“Are your wounds okay?”

That's why I opened my mouth. When I told him about the wound, Urhar was startled.

"what?"

“A wound. I heard that you were beaten badly by Sir Kikubad.”

“Who told you that?”

“Who else would have been there besides you?”

As I shrugged my shoulders as if it were natural, Urhar shut his eyes tightly.

“……If I had only been able to use Auror, I wouldn’t have been treated like that.”

“Why didn’t you use it?”

“You might find out my identity. I don’t know Lord Kikubad’s aura, but Lord Kikubad knows mine.”

I burst into laughter after eating.

“If you had died, that excuse would have been more acceptable, Lord Urhar.”

“……Ugh.”

Urhar bit his lip tightly.

“There was a reason for that. If I had used my aura on the spot and revealed my identity… the identity of the ‘Black Knight’ would have been mine.”

“Why should you worry about that? That’s for the Black Knight to worry about.”

The way 'Yurian' spoke naturally came out. Although I had become accustomed to his words and actions, it was true that I felt a little uncomfortable.

But this time, I ended up laughing at 'Urhar' like that guy.

If you die, it's a total waste, but you're talking nonsense.

“……Why do you say things like that?”

As he continued to scratch himself, Urhar finally began to complain.

“Even if I say it like this, I’m only saying it because we’re a good match.”

I said with a smile. If you came to help the 'Black Knight' anyway, you wouldn't be the type to back down with a few words like this.

Besides, the relationship between the 'Royal Knights' and 'Closed Eyes' is not very good. No, to be honest, it seems to be 'Yurien's' personal disposition.

If you're watching 'Royal Knights' because of that reflection, you'll probably get annoyed.

It's not to an unbearable level, though.

'No, maybe it's because we're classmates?'

Well anyway.

“The Black Knight is currently monitoring the movements of the Yulsis. As long as they do not move, there seems to be nothing left for Lord Urhar to do.”

“……So that means.”

“Yes, I am saying that coming all the way here today was a waste of time.”

When he was forced to face reality, Urhar's face crumpled.

“Calm down. Wouldn’t this be a good thing for the ‘Black Knight’ too, if there was nothing to do?”

“……That’s true.”

“Since the Kikubad mansion was buried together with the castle, if His Majesty the Yule has any move, you will have to take out a new deck.”

Clap, clap, clap.

I applauded and encouraged Urhar.

As for whether that meant anything, judging by his expression, it doesn't seem to be the case.

'It looks confusing.'

I glanced at Urhar's face. The first thing that caught my eye was his expression of obvious bewilderment.

'Urhar is definitely useful, but I'm still hesitant.'

Help the 'Black Knight'.

I don't know where that idea came from, but to be honest, I thought it was dangerous.

If you are even a little disappointed in the 'Black Knight', you will once again side with Yulsis as a 'Royal Knight', and if that happens, it means that you will be in trouble in many ways.

'If possible, I would like to make him loyal to Kaldrak.'

That's another difficult thing. So, now that we're in a deadlock, I want to know exactly what Urhar is thinking.

'Wait a minute, gather your thoughts and make up your mind.'

When you have a headache, it's important to give it time.

“Just wait for now. Once Yulsis moves, you will have something to do.”

"okay."

“When that time comes, I will count on you. Sir Urhar, Royal Knights.”

With a smile, Urhar suppressed his emotions and stood up from his seat.

“Phew.”

As he left the room, I breathed a sigh of relief.

In many ways, it was a day where I felt tired of being stuck between the 'Black Knight' and the 'Dawn Society'.

Knock, knock.

“Your Majesty, may I come in?”

This is Pintel's voice.

Oh, the day isn't over yet.

***

As Yurian said, Kaldrak arrived at the mansion of Fullgorn and began to clear the debris by ordering the gendarmes who were loitering around and using wedges.

“Ugh.”

As the wreckage was dug up, the witch Abisha frowned as she felt a faint magic rising up.

As she retched and took a step back, Kaldrak pressed down hard on Abisha's hood and advanced towards the scene where the 'wedges' were moving busily.

“What's inside?”

“……This is the barrier of the resonance stone.”

It's the barrier of resonance stone.

Upon hearing that, Kaldrak became convinced that the 'horn of the demon' was buried underneath.

'What Yurian said was true.'

I was curious as to how he got this information.

As a 'repeater', I didn't have this information on the path I had taken.

However, the thought crossed my mind that it would be better not to pay too much attention.

“You guys just need to try a little harder.”

At Kaldrak's words, the 'wedges' began to move more busily.

Soon, a pillar began to appear, and at the same time, a stand with many 'resonance stones' installed came into Kaldrak's sight.

There is no trace of it being dug up. If the 'horn of the demon' was really buried, Yulsis would have rushed over and tried to collect it.

'I suspect.'

Still, as if possessed, Kaldrak continued his work. Soon, he felt a chilling light leaking out from the wreckage.

“Everyone, come out of your seats.”

As Kaldrak advanced towards the place, the workers and wedges began to give way, along with the words of the 'wedge' executive.

Knock knock.

When Kaldrak collected the remains, he found the 'Horn of the Demon God' clearly emitting polluted magic energy.

“……It’s really buried!?”

When Abisha, surprised, looked at the 'Horn of the Demon God' and spoke, Kaldrak shouted.

“Bring me the resonance stone!”

If it were a normal 'Demon's Horn', it would be okay to put it in a box and move it, but the magic contained in the 'Magic God's Horn' is not ordinary.

If you don't create a temporary barrier with the 'Resonance Stone', it will contaminate everything nearby, so transporting it with the 'Resonance Stone' was a natural measure.

“Are you crazy?”

As the wedges moved to carry the 'Horn of the Demon', Abisha's venomous voice flew towards Kaldrak, who had stepped back.

“Wasn’t your brother’s goal to collect these four horns? And you’re leaving them like this?”

Abisha's question was valid.

Only by collecting all four of the 'Horns of the Demon God' can Yulsis summon the 'Demon God' who destroyed the empire.

Although it was only possible in a 'dog eclipse', it was impossible to give up the 'horn of the demon' so easily.

'What are you planning?'

The two horns of the demon that left Yulsis's arms were natural calculations, considering what Yurian had and what was here now.

'Do you think you can get it back anytime?'

It was understandable, but it was certain that he had obtained the 'Horn of the Demon God'. With this alone, Yulsis would have no choice but to pass over the 'Total Solar Eclipse' without any awareness.

If that happens, Yulsis is finished.

No matter how much control you have over the imperial family, you can't completely resolve the questions that arise. Other imperial officials, and even the 'Cheonsugun', will have no choice but to question the emperor's silence.

"huh?"

As Kaldrak was trying to escape from the rubble, something strange caught his eye.

It was as if the remains of a mansion had been dug up and there were traces of 'Aurors', as if a person had been there. Even if there was no furniture, it would have been difficult to survive if you were crushed in such a large mansion.

'I see, you're still alive.'

If I had died along with this mansion, it would have been most welcome.

Kaldrak thought so and walked towards the 'wedges'.
