9th Circle Lord

Conversation on the battlefield is meaningless.

The Basco combat troops and Haluin royal knights clashed fiercely without anyone being the first.

In the midst of blood and screams, Luther retrieved the family language and drew a magic pearl on the floor.

He stopped moving and suddenly drew a magic line.

Elena asked with curious eyes.

"Is there something wrong?”

"There was a battle ahead."

"Battle? Monster hunting?"

"You'll find out soon."

He floated the party as he did in the snow mountain. Floating in the air, they leave the dense forest.

A group of people looking down at the ground opened their eyes round.

Knights and wizards are combating throughout the forest.

"What's going on here?"

"Look over there!"

Dolken pointed ahead.

They groaned after the direction pointed.

Large-scale troops were mixed in the wasteland in the direction of Malvin.

With flags flying, symbolizing each family, an army full of ants exchanging ugly soldiers.

Marvin, caught in flames, emits black smoke.

"There's a war.”

"Is that the flag of the Basco Empire?"

"And the Duchy of Hallouin!"

"There is also the Kingdom of Elverine."

The flags of other countries are also flying after Haluin and Vasco. 

"What the hell is this...….”

Luther said softly among the surprised party.

"Marvin gives up. Let's go to another city."

I don't know what the hell happened, but the first thing to do is to get out of Malvin.

The party suddenly questioned while traveling in the magic camp.

As I passed right above the scene of the battle, no one noticed anything.

Even people looking up at the sky by chance didn't find them.

"Why can't they see us?"

Luther was muttered by Elena.

"It's the magic of the gods."

"Hidden magic? Is that why you can't see us?”

"Yes."

Dolken was puzzled.

"The magic is amazing."

There is a saying that if you are swept away by battle, you cannot escape until you die. However, thanks to Luther's magic, they were able to watch the battle as if they were looking across the river.

Luther turned toward the Basco Empire.

"Olson is done.’

It attracted troops from other countries to Malvin, the deepest part of the territory.

Since the whole country is surrounded by phone calls, the deal cannot be done properly.

The reason Luther came out of the west after preparing a good site was because of daily necessities, and food was the most important among them. 

There were crops including seeds, but only wheat, vegetables, and fruits.

There was no shortage of self-sufficiency, but we cannot live on grass forever.

I need meat, so I'm going to put in livestock.

So this outing was important.

Perhaps this was the last time Luther went out as needed.

Luther's manna is not infinite.

The recovery is fast, but I didn't mean to waste my mana unnecessarily.

Luther, who came to the forest, which was far from the battlefield and deserted, landed on the ground and solved the magic.

It's dark, so you have to stay up late. Luther disappeared from the group with the welcoming magicians.

asked Kane while he was working.

"Are you going to the Basco Empire?”

If you go northeast of Malvin, you will see the Basco border, consistent with the direction Luther traveled.

"Yes, it won't be easy to make a deal at the warring Olsen."

Dolken intervened in the conversation between the two.

"Luther, but we don't have the Vasco Empire identification."

These were Malvin mercenaries, including Dolken.

It is the story of those with skills that mercenary IDs are used wherever they go.

If he were to undergo border checks, he could have been dragged to prison rather than passed.

Dolken's worries were solved by Kane.

"Don't worry, you'll have no problem passing the check.”

Kane had seen Luther's enchanting magic the other day.

Luther's enchantment magic makes even strangers close friends.

With that magic, border checks would pass ridiculously.

Zach claimed to be a scout himself by using good snow.

After examining the forest, Jacques reported.

"There are people everywhere."

"What are they doing?"

"It was like Hunter and the merchants from Malvin, the Health Service."

Luther, who was listening, nodded and muttered.

"It's wise to avoid war."

It's better to run away than to wander around and get out of it.Zach continued the remaining report.

"There was a merchant."

"What do you mean?"

"I found a backstreet merchant in the woods who I had a deal with the other day. What should we do?”

"We're all meeting here."

What a tough relationship.

Luther, who was thinking for a while about what to do, gave the order.

"Bring him."

"Yes."

Looking at the disappearing Jacques, Luther thought.

I'd rather be a regular.’

I thought it would be better to trade with a backstreet merchant who has already made a deal than to wrestle with Basco's merchant.

It didn't take long for Jacques to bring a merchant.

The merchant, who appeared, was quite pleased with Luther.

"Hhhhh. I didn't expect to see you here."

"You managed to survive.”

"I'm always listening to the news, and fortunately I was able to avoid it."

Dolken asked urgently.

"Today I see a war broke out in Malvin. Do you know what happened?"

"Oh! You didn't know? You didn't know?"

The merchant alternated Dolken and Luther. 

The merchant laughed when he nodded.

"Hhhhh. I see.”

I can see through the inside of my mouth when I smile. Luther kicked his tongue.

"If you're going to get paid for information, you'd better not dream about it."

"No way. I have a favor to ask of you. Please take me with you."

"Okay, now ask. What happened?"

"The Japanese prince and the Basco Empire have colluded.”

"The Prince of Japan?"

The half-moon Luther frowned.

'Now I have no idea what's what.’

I guessed that the Japanese prince would become a king, but I have no idea why he joined hands with Vasco.

"Why?"

"I made the worst choice because I thought I'd be eaten by this prince if I stayed still."

"Did this prince have such a good.

"It's been decided since we occupied Malvin. We broke the nonaggression pact in a hurry. And as you can see, Prince Lee has also attracted other nations. If you leave it as it is, most countries will give up all the monster areas to Vasco, so most of the countries are attached to Prince Lee. The war will not end easily."

"I see."

Now I understand the situation.

If the Vasco Empire monopolizes the monster realm with the Japanese prince, it will be a matter of time before swallowing the continent.

As each other was desperate, the war seemed unlikely to end easily as the merchant said.

Luther kicked his tongue.

"There's no sign of stopping the rain, so Vasco would be the best place to avoid."

"You saw it right away. It's the place with the best energy. I'm going to watch the situation for a while."

"Do you think Vasco will take it?"

"The merchant always has one foot on the other. That way, if something happens, you'll be able to escape."

"Skillful but wise. All right. I'll accompany you because you're useful. However, when you get to Vasco, proceed with the deal with me first."

"What are you looking for?”

"Life necessities, and livestock."

Luther took out the intermediate mana stone.

"This should be enough to exchange."

"Ho! Intermediate mana stone. Of course, I'm the only one left, so I'll try my best to get you."

The merchant admired but never asked. Luther liked his attitude and way.

As the day grew dark, light appeared like fireflies everywhere.

Kiara, who was trying to sleep next to Luther, suddenly asked.

"Why are people fighting each other?”

"Because of greed."

"Killing the same person out of greed?"

"Yes."

"Ummm."

Kiara was confused.

Luther explained.

"There are two people. One person has a very pretty stone. The other person wanted the stone. But there was only one stone. So what do you think a stoneless man would do?"

The thoughtful Kiara asked with a confused face.

"How did you do that?”

"Of course they'll take it. They'd kill it if it was too much."

Kiara's eyes were shaken by the cold talk.

Luther said clearly.

"Human beings are lumps of desire. I constantly covet and crave. So you have to be careful of them. Don't believe it, be on your guard."

"Yes."

Kiara, who was nodding her head with a warning engraved on her head, suddenly looked at Luther.

"But Luther is human, too. Elena is human. Can't you trust everyone?”

"Yes, don't trust everyone except me."

"Ellena?"

"There are no exceptions."

"Okay."

It was a strange standard, but Kiara believed like a stone.

the gateway to the Basco Empire at a late hour.

A knight guarding the wall with a stern look at the merchant in front of him.

"Isn't he a spy?"

The blue merchant desperately denied it.

"Oh, no! What power do I have to serve as a spy?""Your face is full of tricks, where are you lying?”

The driver, who found fault for no reason, gave the soldiers a jaw.

"Suspicious man. Take him!"

"No! No!"

The soldiers lead the begging merchant. The knight with a snorted nose greeted the next turn.

The driver, who was looking through the party with a stern look, made eye contact with Kiara and felt sick.

I've never seen such a pretty woman in my life.

The reporter's eyes, whose face has been loosened, are stuck in Kiara and can't fall off.

The merchant accompanied him said his ID and bribe were enough, but the war broke out and the inspection became meticulous.

Luther stepped out because he thought he couldn't.

"It's me."

The driver's eyes swung at the informal speech.

His expression quickly became fierce.

An angry knight growled.

"You punk. What did you just say?"

"Look at my eyes."

Luther's eyes deepened.

In an instant, the enchanted article caught my eye.

Looking back, Luther's face looked very similar to the aristocrat he encountered someday.

"Sorry, I didn't know."

"All right, get out of the way."

The driver, embarrassed by Luther's high-handed order, quickly stepped down.

The merchant looked surprised and soon hid his curiosity and moved on. The party murmured with a curious face.

"How is this possible?"

"As Kane said, it's really easy to get through."

Inside the gate passed was a small town with a wide boulevard.

A merchant who was reflecting on the expression the driver had made at the checkpoint advised Luther.

"It looks like you're going to get into trouble thanks to your noble lady, and you need to disguise yourself."

The merchant didn't know who Kiara was, but he guessed it, not ordinary.

Her unusual white hair and dense features attract attention wherever she goes. In addition, it was filled with a noble atmosphere, perhaps because of a temporary veil to cover the horns of the top of the head.

Luther nodded at the merchant's attention. I only cared about the horns, but now that I see it, I should have covered my face.

People passing by the boulevard saw Kiara and took a step.

The Basco gates are now lined with knights and wizards to carry out the war at Olsen.

When they found Kiara, they froze like a statue and were mesmerized.

It has also been proven in history that a beautiful beauty calls for blood.

Luther showed discomfort as people approached Kiara as if they were possessed.

It was the beginning of an imminent bloodbath.
