Episode 430 I will save you. (4)

"Ouch! Ouch!"

Kaor said as he dunked a middle-aged man's face into a bucket of water.

"Oh, I told you to speak quickly?"

"Phew! You punk, what are you doing now!"

"What are you doing? I said I came to get medicine and herbs."

"Hey you! You did this and still managed to survive… … Apupupu!"

The one being tortured with water was the lord who refused to give up his medicine. Kaor took him by surprise without asking any questions and started torturing him.

Kaor, who was originally a dirty-tempered woman, now had the power of the Northern Army and Jisel at her back. To be honest, she wasn't even afraid of the nobles anymore.

Besides, isn't there a legitimate(?) order and justification?

The vassals of the estate cried out in thought.

"Hey, stop it!"

"How can a knight do such a thing!"

"I will formally protest to the commander of the Northern Army!"

Kaor spoke with a dull expression while sitting on the chair.

"Protest. Protest. Do you know who is behind us? Don't you know that the Marquis of Branford has given orders?"

Kaor sold the Marquis of Branford's name as well as Claude.

In fact, just selling Giselle's name would be enough. Since she is rumored to be a cruel warlord with a mastery of force, selling Giselle's name would have a greater impact.

But Belinda's nagging was the problem.

- When you do something difficult, don't sell your name, Marquis Branford. Got it?

- Okay… … .

So Kaor actively sold the name of the Marquis of Branford.

Because of this, the vassals of this territory could not bring themselves to subdue Kaor by force.

No, in fact, I was more afraid of the Northern Army than the Marquis of Branford. If they turned their swords towards me at any moment, I would be trampled in an instant.

So, the knights and soldiers were all just surrounding it and didn't know what to do.

"Ahhh! Hit these guys right now! Kill them! I mean kill them!"

Even though the lord shouted, everyone was scared and couldn't move.

However, there was a man with high spirits. The commander of the knights of this territory shouted loudly and swung his sword at Kaor.

"You bastard! Release the lord immediately!"

Scratch!

Kaor didn't move. One of the Fenris knights who had followed the assault party quickly drew his sword and decapitated the knight commander.

He was a knight who had previously been a mercenary belonging to the Mad Dog Group.

"Ugh… … ."

In just one move, the commander of a knight's domain was beheaded and fell.

People were terrified. They knew that the Fenris Knights were strong, but they didn't know it was this bad.

On the surface, they all looked like they were messing around, so they didn't even look like knights.

"Huh."

Fenris, the knight who had cut off the commander's head, smiled faintly and put his sword away.

The vassals and soldiers of the territory swallowed their saliva.

'Those Fenris guys are really strong. I shouldn't rush in.'

'How could a single knight defeat our Knight Commander in one stroke… … .'

'But why does that side look like it's in pain too? Why is it suddenly bleeding?'

Blood was flowing out of the mouth of the Fenris knight who had not been attacked even once. It was because he had used too much force all at once to show off.

If it weren't for that, I wouldn't have been able to cut off his neck in one go.

The other assault knights surrounded the knight and whispered.

"Hey, are you crazy?"

"If you had fallen, those guys would have all attacked you?"

"Be a little stylish."

There was a reason I was jealous because he was showing off on his own, but it was also true that he was dangerous.

The numbers here are noticeably smaller. No matter how strong the Fenris Knights were, they couldn't handle all those troops.

Because they are not Giselle.

Still, we were able to communicate well since we had the lord here as a hostage.

"Ah, I understand! I'll pass it all on! T-T-stop! Ugh!"

Kaor, who had received the medicine and medicinal herbs, said while tying up the lord with a rope.

"It's true that you committed a crime, so let's go together. I can't take away your title."

Of course, there were instances where hostages were taken to ensure a safe escape.

In this way, Kaor went around collecting medicine and medicinal herbs and capturing the lords.

Alfoy entered the negotiations a little more gentlemanly than Kaor. After all, he had pride in being a wizard.

"Ahem, you know our Northern Army troops, right? They'll all come running here with just a wave of my hand. And I'm a 5th Circle Wizard."

'What is this kid doing? Why is he talking like he's the commander of the Northern Army? Why does he speak so childishly when he's an envoy?'

The lord who was listening was puzzled, but couldn't say anything. After all, he was the one who officially appeared with the seal and flag of the Northern Army.

The rumors about the Northern Army are really bad these days. They say they are forcibly taking away medicine and medicinal materials and even stripping people of their titles.

I don't like it, but I can't do anything about it right now because I don't have the strength. So I've been secretly communicating with the lords around me.

In times of crisis, let's cut off support and not help the Northern Army.

But now I couldn't resist. I had already heard what had happened to the Earl of Grafton.

'But this guy isn't the Earl of Fenris.'

Well then, there is a way, he said, handing Alfoy a box.

"This is a small gift for your efforts in coming here. As you know, the situation in the territory is not good these days due to cracks and epidemics. I really have nothing to hide."

In short, it means just take the bribe and go back. Alpoy shouted loudly after opening the box.

"How can you see me like this and come up with something like this! Do you think I'm Claude?"

There was too little.

Claude ate everything without hesitation, but not himself. He had pride as a wizard.

The lord who gave the bribe was embarrassed.

'That's weird? I thought wizards liked money? This kid looks like he likes it just by looking at his face.'

That's right. I was upset because it was too little.

But as a noble who always took it for granted to politely beat around the bush, he couldn't help but think that the other person was so angry because he hated bribery.

"Ugh, I feel like I've tarnished your honor, sir. That wasn't my intention."

The lord took the box away with an apologetic look. Then Alpoy shouted again.

"What are you doing now!"

"Huh? I think I made a mistake… … ."

"Oh my god! Seriously!"

"Why on earth… … ?"

"I'm giving you another chance, you little punk!"

Alpoy got excited and lost his temper. The lord also felt very uncomfortable.

"I treated you like a wizard, but now I feel like you're being too rude. I'm a noble."

As the lord beckoned, knights and soldiers rushed in and surrounded the area.

"Ugh… … ."

Alfoy calmed down.

Honestly, if we fight, we can defeat everyone here. There are ten 4th circle magicians and twenty escort knights. There are also hundreds of soldiers waiting outside.

However, he wanted to act as an elegant wizard to the outside world. The wizards and knights who followed him were already smirking at Alfoy.

Alfoy held his head and thought about it.

I wanted to show off and complete the mission I was given. But then I also became greedy.

'I want that jewelry box too… … .'

These days, no one wants to gamble with him, so he doesn't have any money. He wants to have wealth.

Then, Alpoy suddenly had a brilliant idea and made a suggestion to the lord.

"Let's do it odd or even."

"What?"

"If you play a game of odd-even with me and I win, I can just go home. What do you want to bet?"

The lord looked back and asked his men.

"Odd or even… What is the game?"

A soldier who knew the game explained it to him. Then the lord smiled.

"Not once, but many times?"

"I'm fine."

The lord thought about it. If he could somehow win just once, he could send them back. Losing a little money was no problem.

"Then I will hang this jewelry box first."

"Let's do that."

So the two started gambling.

Of course, there was no way the lord could defeat Alpoy, who used fraudulent magic.

"lol."

Alpoy took possession of the jewel box in front of him in one breath.

The lord casually ordered them to bring more treasure.

"hall."

"match."

"hall."

"match."

The expression on the lord's face as he played the game hardened.

I've already lost a huge amount of money. To be honest, I've walked quite a bit to get back on track.

But how can you say that you can't win just once? That doesn't make sense.

"Are you… scamming me right now?"

"Huh? What are you talking about? A scam? Do you have any proof?"

"This doesn't make sense!"

"Oh, why doesn't that make sense?"

"Then do you think this makes sense? It's just a simple odd-even, and you can never get it right?"

"Of course that makes sense."

"What?"

Alpoy smiled cheekily as he looked at the lord's face, which was filled with anger.

"I beat God with this."

"… … ."

He's crazy. He got caught by a crazy conman. The lord even had the lord's personal wizard sit next to him to monitor the magic.

But the land wizard shook his head.

"I, I don't know. I don't feel like I used magic."

It was a magic that Alpoy had created by grinding his soul to commit fraud. Moreover, he was a 5th circle magician. There was no way that the opposing magician, who was only a 4th circle magician, would have noticed.

"Ugh, I'll stop."

The lord, who had lost a great deal of wealth, shook his head and raised his hands. It was clearly a fraud, but he could not figure it out, so there was no way he could win.

Alpoy, who won all the games, got up with a satisfied smile.

"I had fun. Well, I guess I'll be going now."

"huh?"

"Then take care."

Alfoy gave a quick greeting and turned around. He was so happy to have won money for the first time in a long time.

That was also a very large fortune. It was something I had never touched in my entire life.

'Ha, I've lost half my life. I should've made this opportunity a long time ago. But I'm still so happy today.'

But the wizards and knights who followed blocked Alfoy's path and made faces. Only then did Alfoy come to his senses.

"Oh no, I came here to do something else."

I was so excited that I almost turned back. Now that I had no business with the lord, I told everyone.

"Hurry up and search through everything. Now let's go find the medicine. We have other places to go, but we've wasted too much time."

To be honest, I wanted to keep going, but if I continued here, I would be up all night. The stakes were getting smaller and smaller.

Alpoy, who had already seen his business, threw away his dignity and searched the castle wildly. When he still could not find it, he caused chaos by burning down the castle.

In the end, everything was burned down and all the medicine and drugs were taken away. The lord glared at Alpoy and said.

"You guys are going too far. You will definitely regret this."

Alfoy wasn't even a little scared.

"Regret? I've already lived hundreds and thousands of times with regrets. Is there anyone who has regrets as much as I have?"

I came to Fenris and became a slave. I regretted it every night, and now I have just given up on life. So there was nothing to be afraid of.

Besides, I'm with people who are scarier than these nobles, and I'm fighting people who are scarier than them.

"Let's go!

Thanks to the Marquis of Branford, he was given the authority to arrest lords. Alfoy met with lords, earned money, and received medicine, and faithfully(?) carried out his mission.

Thanks to their efforts, the epidemic began to subside quickly. This was because it had initially spread primarily through the territories of greedy lords who had not cooperated.

In the areas of the lords who faithfully produced medicine and followed quarantine orders and near the capital, the epidemic was quickly contained.

"Gisselle said as she crossed off the plague zones on the map one by one.

"I guess I just need to do a little more."

Belinda nodded from the side.

"There aren't many left. I don't think there's any need to worry about the eastern and royal forces."

"Yes, Countess Aylesbury and Marquis Branford's young lady prepared it very well."

Meriel and Rosalind were the ones who trusted and moved Giselle during the previous drought. In fact, both then and this time, thanks to those two people, the damage that could have been even greater was reduced.

From Giselle's perspective, they were great helpers.

Of course, the Marquis of Branford and the royalist faction gave him a lot of support. Without them, it would have been difficult to get out of this situation.

"What is the situation in other countries?"

"Everyone is in chaos. We can't properly close the cracks. The epidemic is even worse."

"Hmm… … I guess that can't be helped."

Other countries are not under the influence of Giselle and the Marquis of Branford. Some places believed Giselle's warning and prepared, but others were reluctant to conduct experiments.

There also exists a kingdom where the Salvation Church is dominant.

Still, the situation was much better than in the previous life. There were some territories that had been able to block the cracks to some extent with just the territories, and there was a cure for the epidemic.

Other kingdoms would have also by now been gearing up for potion production and organizing their armies to prevent the rift.

"Still, I think it would be better to help a little."

"How can you help me when I'm busy dealing with the rift within the kingdom right now?"

"I'm weak, so just send me food."

"Isn't it useless if we can't deal with the cracks anyway? It's going to be quite late."

"That's true. We prepared in advance, so we moved quickly."

It was because Jiselle had prepared in many ways that she was able to deal with the cracks so quickly. Other kingdoms were not prepared for the cracks to this extent.

But Giselle said it was okay.

"There are monsters in other kingdoms too. They will deal with the rifts one by one. They may be slower than us, but the important thing is that they can deal with them."

"A monster?"

"Yes. They are monsters just like me."

Jiselle smiled. The people looked at her in disbelief.

Of course, there must have been powerful people who had risen to the top in other kingdoms as well. But something felt like it wouldn't work out for Jiselle.

Because Jiselle defeated Delmude and Master Tennant, who reached the 7th circle.

Jiselle waved her hand a few times as if to tell him not to worry, then continued speaking.

"Anyway, the fight against the Salvation Church isn't something we can do by sparing ourselves. We need as many people as possible to join forces."

"So, for now, I can just help you with medicine and food?"

"Yes, even if you just provide medicine and food, it will be a great help. Others will be able to take full action to deal with the cracks."

People looked curious. How could Giselle, who only lived in this kingdom, know about the affairs of other countries?

Jiselle had no intention of answering the questions of others, but simply smiled happily as she recalled old memories.

'I guess I'll be able to see him soon.'

It was nice to go back to the past, but it was a shame that the good relationships I had made in my past life were gone.

There was a friend I really wanted to meet again in this life. A friend who had never shown himself to the world before the cracks appeared.

Of course, there were others who, for their own reasons, did not show up. It was another pleasure to be able to see them again.

and....

Those who did not get along well with Giselle or had to fight.

The other members of the seven continents will now begin to appear one by one.
