There were only two of the party that could move secretly, so they couldn’t rest properly and had to come up on the roof again at night. Others have decided to move together once they know where they are.
The direction the blood manastone was pointing in was clear, but it was difficult to feel it. So Ed believed that whatever demon he would meet there would give him ample experience. So, he went out and looked for them.
Diego, riding on Tom, took the lead, summoning Jerry, and Ed was eagerly following behind him.
He had been envious of Diego ever since he was somehow able to ride Tom.
“Do you feel something?”
“Yeah, but this is weird. It doesn’t feel as clear…. as if there’s fog.”
“Do you know the direction?”
“I feel it’s that way. So I’m on my way there. Let’s go.”
“Yeah.”
They were running over the roof with the barracks on the west side of the castle. There were many tents hanging down there, probably because they had newly recruited and gathered soldiers.
The number of tents was about over five hundred. And since it was the barracks, the boundaries were very strict.
“Can you feel anything from this distance?”
Jerry, who was sitting on Diego’s head, shook his beard. Diego quietly shared his feelings with Jerry, and then he turned to Ed.
“The sensory disturbance is severe. You can only understand when you are there.”
Ed hardened his impression at those words. The barracks are the most heavily guarded in the state of war. Even a paladine could not enter such a place.
Ed stared at it still and said to Diego.
“Let’s go back for now. If we get any closer, we’re going to get caught.”
A guy who can cause sensory disturbance in such a wide range must be well-defended. He couldn’t just go into a place like that.
First of all, since it was the barracks, it seemed that they had to find a separate way to enter.
When Edgar and Diego returned to the inn, the party waiting for them looked at them with great anticipation.
Ed sat down in their gaze, had a drink, and opened his mouth.
“The location was identified, but we couldn’t get any closer,” he said.
“Why?”
“It is the barracks where sensory disturbances occur.”
“Barracks?”
Ed nodded, and Thane sighed.
When Prince Pelman was crowned and proclaimed the kingdom, the southern nobles had to risk their lives.
If he succeeds, he will become an official of the nation. And, if he fails, he will be driven as a traitor.
As a result, he became frantic about conscripting soldiers. Therefore, the boundaries of the barracks must be strict.
There was no way he could just let him in, even if he was a paladine from the Church of Astron who did exorcism.
“You’re smart.”
“When was the last time you acted stupid?” said Thane after thinking for a moment.
“If you can figure out who it is, there’s something to say, but it’s not that difficult,”
Ed said after pondering for a moment.
“If you force yourself to infiltrate, I will be able to do it alone.”
Arin shook her head at those words.
“The last time we fought, he wasn’t someone who could be handled alone,” Dex said, patting his leg.
“I almost got my leg cut off.”
Seeing his eyes twinkle as he said those words, Dex must have been insane. Brandt agreed.
“He was strong. He was on a different level from the demons I had fought before.”
He could tell by looking at the atmosphere that everyone had a hard time.
“Then let’s think about it a little more.”
Inside the largest tent in Colins’s barracks, the man who was signing the documents looked up at the conscripted officer entering the tent.
“I heard there was a commotion,” he said.
“My Lord, that dignified Astron paladine appeared and frightened us.”
Farrell, the young lord, put down his pen at those words. Then he clenched his chin and looked at the conscripted officer. His own cousin, the conscript, bowed his head as their eyes met.
Farrell sighed and opened his mouth.
“Didn’t I tell you not to get involved with them? In the current situation, if you get involved with the Astron Church for nothing, you have to deal with not only the Travia Kingdom Army but also the Astron Church.”
“Sir, I’m sorry.”
“There will be a dispatch soon, so speed up the conscription, but be careful about being entangled with the Astron Church.”
“Yeah.”
As the conscripts went outside, Farrell got up and walked inside.
A bed was placed inside the tent, and a middle-aged man was lying there.
Farrell approached the middle-aged man, put a chair next to him, and said:
“Father, are you out of your mind?”
At that, the middle-aged man opened his eyes and looked at Farrell. He then clenched his teeth and said.
“You, you are not my son.”
“What are you talking about?”
Farrell replied leisurely. The middle-aged man tried to get up, but he couldn’t lift a finger.
Farrell smiled at the sight and said.
“Where is the family seal?”
“If I say that, will you keep me alive?”
Farrell’s eyes turned red, and he reached out and placed his hand on the middle-aged man’s chest.
Farrell looked at the middle-aged man struggling in pain, and when he released his hand, the middle-aged man’s body was spread out on the bed.
“I don’t have much time, father. Even if you don’t have a seal, there is no problem in dispatching troops, so don’t put your mind to a loose place. And if you keep resisting like this, I can’t be responsible for the well-being of mother and sister.”
He groaned but didn’t respond.
Farrell looked down at the middle-aged man, then got up from his seat and went back to his desk. He should have obtained the seal, but since he couldn’t get it, the progress of work was slowed down in many ways. Farrell took the pen and put it in his mouth.
Astron’s paladine is looking for people with blood manastones. He’s heard that many people have suffered so far. He has not been able to find them yet because we have put the magic of disturbance all over the barracks. But, he must have noticed something strange now.
“But, why isn’t the person who is to deal with the Paladine not coming?”
Ragrox said that the paladine would come after him and that he would send an ally to fight him. But there was no news yet, so he was annoyed.
There were various opinions about how to enter the barracks, but he couldn’t come up with a particularly good way.
Would he have even thought of entering the barracks as a mercenary with Edgar and Diego?
If it was like before, there was nothing to worry about. Once you enter, if you are a demon, it will be revealed once an arrow is put on your forehead.
While they were giving their opinions to each other, someone came into the inn, a woman and a man.
The woman pressed her robes so deeply that it was difficult to recognize her face. But it could be understood at a glance that she was a disciplined woman, even though the man following her was in comfy clothes.
The woman, as she entered the inn, turned her head, and when she noticed Ed’s party, she hesitated for a moment before approaching.
Her appearance was known by most of her party, so it was only natural that all eyes would be on her as she stood by her table.
Ed asked the woman standing next to him.
“Are you here to find us?”
The woman looked around for a moment. It was quite late, and the people occupied the tables were only Ed and his party.
“Can I join you for a moment?”
Edgar shook his head as he glanced at Diego. It is said that she does not possess the power of the devil.
Ed nodded happily.
“Sit down.”
The man pulled out the chair, and as he watched the woman sit there, he knew that she was no ordinary person.
As she sat down at her seat, the man went to another table behind her. Then she handed him a bag, and thanked him, and went upstairs.
So, when the first floor was cleared, the man went to the owner and the clerk, and they also received a packet and entered.
Only then the woman slipped the hood and her blonde hair and pure white skin got revealed. She turned to Arin, her head slightly bowed, and introduced herself.
She said,
“My name is Henna. Duke Colin is my father.”
“I’m Arin.”
It seems that Arin has something on her mind, so she responded.
“Are you a paladine?”
“Yes,” she asked, after Henna was silent for a moment.
“Are you here to catch the devil?” she didn’t know she could ask so directly.
When Arin pondered for a moment, Edgar answered instead.
“Yes.”
Henna’s gaze turned from Arin to Ed.
At the party with the paladine, it seems that she did not know that someone else would lead the conversation instead of the paladine. She could tell just by looking at his frantic gaze.
Henna turned her gaze to Ed as Arin nodded her head slightly and looked at Ed.
Edgar lowered his head slightly in response to those eyes.
“I’m Ed,” whispered Ed by bowing his head.
As Henna was lost in thought somewhere she remembered that he could probably be the demon hunter.”
“I’m a demon hunter.”
“Ah! Demon Hunter!”
Ed now knew that his name was quite well known within the kingdom of Travia.
Is there no one in the nobility who does not know?
“Then it must have been that you really came to catch the devil.”
“Yes.”
Henna pondered for a moment, then looked at Arin and Ed in turn, then opened her mouth.
“I have a favor for you.”
Henna hesitated for a moment as everyone looked at him silently and then spoke.
“Save my father,” she said, a word she hadn’t even thought of.
Edgar opened his mouth first as her troupe stiffened.
“Is Lord Colins in danger?”
Henna looked around her at those words. Ed said calmly at the sight. “No one is eavesdropping.”
At least, unless they approached enough to deceive Ed’s sense, no one was nearby to overhear their stories. Hannah let out a long breath at those words and said.
“About a month ago, my brother changed. After returning from hunting, things seemed different, but when Prince Pelman was crowned a while ago, my father objected. .”
“You mean Lord Colins is gone?”
“.. Yes, and I started conscripting the soldiers, and when I asked my brother, he said he was in the barracks, but did not show my father.”
Ed pondered for a moment, then asked.
“Have you ever seen a red light in your brother’s eyes?”
Henna replied after hesitating for a moment.
“If my father hadn’t disappeared, I probably would have thought that I was wrong. But seeing my father disappearing, I took the first step in preparing for war. I don’t think I was wrong. When I made eye contact with my brother who had gone hunting, the eyes I saw were obviously red.“
Until now, Ed couldn’t enter the barracks because he couldn’t identify who they were. But now, he has found out who they are and even has an excuse to join the barracks.
“You must be worried,” Henna bowed at Ed’s words.
Seeing how her shoulders trembled thinly, Edgar glanced at Arin, and Arin gently hugged her like that.
Ed saw the figure and spoke out to her.
“We’ll catch the devil and save your father,”
Only if he was alive! But he didn’t get to that point.
“We just need help.”
Henna raised her head at those words and looked straight at Ed.
“I can help with anything.”
