Chapter 165 - 165. Formation of a New Warrior Party (1)

The investigation of the investigation team dispatched to the kingdom of Terrasia did not stop even in the middle of the night when the lights in the city went out one by one.

The Golden Lion Knights were not the only large demon organizations belonging to the kingdom, but due to their loss, which could be said to be a great force, the Allied Forces' enforcers were temporarily stranded in the Terrasia Kingdom.

Bernice left the temporary headquarters of the investigation team after bestowing blessings on them to erase the fatigue of the investigation team who had been working day and night.

She said she would rest for a while, and found a quiet clearing, holding a small crystal ball in her hand.

It was to hear Zeto's voice.

"...So I don't think everything will be solved just because the Golden Lion Knights disappear. The root cause won't change."

She was Bernice who wanted to talk about more everyday things, but she was talking about work countless times in response to my question, which was difficult to grasp the situation.

[Hmm... Succession Gudora. In the eyes of the saintess, it seems that Prince 1 was not a very good person. ]

"Well, it's a bit like talking behind the scenes, but... I think I felt a bad vibe."

[...For example, black magic. ]

Jeto's answer was a little late, and he said with a slight gasp.

"Unfortunately, I couldn't figure it out properly. The distance was also a distance, but for some reason, I must have felt that my power was being hindered. It's strange that humans carry around things that interfere with divine power in the first place."

Bernice, who continued talking without hesitation.

[Haha, I will. An object with divine power resistance...]

After Jeto was speechless.

'Interrupt...'

Come to think of it, it seems like Jetto had a similar feeling.

It was around the time that such a thought passed through Bernice's head.

ㅡQuarreung!!!!

A roar came from the crystal sphere.

Such a terrifying sound as if the earth was shaking and the sky was being torn apart.

'Also...?'

This was the third time.

Thinking that he couldn't go any further, Bernice asked a question.

"...Jetto, what are you doing? Are you out of breath... Are you hearing a roar... Are you having trouble concentrating on the conversation...?"

[That, that's...]

It was then.

ㅡQuarreung!!!

Another roar came from the crystal ball without fail.

[ ...I almost got hit this time. ]

[Because even if you get hit, you won't die. ]

[Rather than that, when will this end...? ]

[She doesn't even know her. Only god knows ]

Then came the sound of Jeto whispering to a woman.

Bernice, who was able to pick it up without missing it because the empty lot was so quiet, immediately expresses a question.

"...Hey, who are you?"

[ ...What? ]

Jeto's voice, trying to pretend to be calm.

He was letting go of his pretense.

Recognizing this, Bernice's eyes narrow.

"I heard a woman's voice... Is there anyone else around?"

Woman's voice.

More than that, Jetto was with another woman?

It's a voice that I'm sure I've heard somewhere.

The face of Bernice, who was squatting on a rock in the corner of the clearing, was full of question marks.

[ Did you hear...? ]

However, even Jeto, the culprit, expressed doubts.

[ ...Why do you hear it? ]

"Can't you ask me about that?"

You shouldn't be surprised.

Bernice, dumbfounded, bit his lip hard.

Was it with a woman?

He said he was talking with a woman next to him.

I'm very sorry.

Just as Bernice was about to say something, he heard Jetto's voice.

[The one next to me... Is none other than my teacher. ]

There was no lie in his voice.

"Master? I'm sure... I heard there was... But weren't you at the academy right now? When did you meet Master?"

[It's around the academy, but...]

"Ah, then Master was around the academy?

[That's a bit complicated. I was going to tell you when we meet this time, but...]

"There's nothing complicated about it. But even if you met Master, it's better to talk away for a while..."

ㅡQuarreung!!!!

"...I wonder if it's better."

[That's... It's hard to fall... I'll make sure to wrap things up next time. I think it would be difficult to explain in this state. ]

"Nothing to apologize for. Did you say you were Zeto's teacher? Nice to meet you. I am Bernice, the virgin of innocence. I've heard well from Zeto. Thank you for helping me to walk well even though I can't see and to handle my sword well. Master..."

[Uh, um... Yes. ]

"Hey, you can speak comfortably."

Bernice smiled so lightly, but on the other hand, she felt strange.

'This woman, who is the Master of Zeto, her powers do not work.'

Even as Bernice, she did not intend to test Zeto's mentor. After all, her Authority is a force that cannot be controlled.

In her answer, false or true should have been felt as it deserved. But just now, I couldn't hear anything in that woman's voice.

Could this cause be included in what Zeto is trying to explain?

"What is the identity of the roaring sound that came from earlier? Jetto."

In addition to this, she asked questions to Bernice, who was piled up like a mountain of questions.

[Ahaha... I wonder if her thunderbolt is falling a little...]

"Is it a thunderbolt?"

Bernice, who was having a conversation with her, looked at the sky.

The night sky in her eyes was calm and serene, and it was a pretty sky where the stars and moon were clearly visible.

She said it was around the academy, and the distance between her academy and the capital of the Kingdom of Terrasia, where she is, wouldn't be so great that the weather would change...

"Thunderbolt in the dry sky..."

Doesn't it sound like 'the punishment'?

Zeto suddenly hates the Lord, so there will be no punishment.

The more she asked her questions, the more she was Bernice who couldn't figure out what was going on.

Then, another voice came from her crystal ball.

[Brother, what are you doing there? ]

The voice of a child, that is, a little girl.

She was calling Jeto her brother.

But this time, the sound was a little quiet because there was a little distance.

[Ray, you can't come this way now! ]

Jeto's urgent voice immediately followed.

[ Huh? What... ]

The little girl called Ray let out a bewildered voice, and at that moment, a roar again poured through the crystal ball.

However, it was a completely different sound than before.

ㅡQuad Deed Deuk!!!!!

The sound of cutting something rough comes through the crystal ball.

[Oh, my brother...! ]

Ray's voice.

"What happened...?!"

For a moment, Bernice was worried that something had happened to Geto.

[ ...The lightning... He cut the lightning...! ]

The answer that followed made it clear that this was not the case.

"..."

Bernice, who had been listening to this silently, was deeply perplexed.

Who is Ray, what does he mean by cutting down the lightning, and what kind of bizarre things are happening where Zeto is?

It was a total mess.

"Why does it seem difficult to talk more today..."

Bernice shook his head.

She gave up understanding.

[ ...Yes, I guess so. ]

Jetto's voice, which was sometimes gasping for breath, sounded a little tired, but it sounded tired.

"The next time we meet, we can explain everything, right?"

[I will. I'm sorry, lady. I feel like I've wasted my precious time...]

"No. I guessed that you had a lot of secrets. Let's focus on finding out."

In the end, Bernice had to hide her regret that she couldn't have the leisurely conversation she had hoped for... But she still heard Jetto's voice.

She decided to think positively.

As the conversation was coming to an end, Jeto's voice was heard.

[ ...Still, it was good to hear the voice of the saintess. ]

"Uh..."

Bernice's exclamation.

"..."

She immediately collected the mana she had been pouring into her crystal sphere and hurriedly finished the conversation with Zeto.

Something else that suddenly strikes like this.

Even though it was a bit messy, thanks to his last word, the regretful feelings disappeared completely.

It was because I knew that the sweet voice that I was glad to hear Bernice's voice was the firm 'truth'.

"...I-I liked it too..."

Bernice, who was staring at the crystal ball whose light had gone out, finally told the truth.

***

"Saints? Saints?"

I tried to call Bernice, but there was no answer.

[It looks like the connection has been lost. ]

"It's sudden."

[I wonder if the saintess was sudden, too. ]

At Sierra's words, she quietly turned her head and looked around her.

Traces of lightning were visible here and there in the forest.

Tonight, I was doing my own research on Rey and Zeppetti's training, as well as the 3 reverse heavens I had obtained this time.

'Of course, after casting Chapter 3, Bernice contacted me...'

Beneath him was Ray, who was lying flat on the floor, his eyes twinkling, and Petty, who was approaching from the other side, tilted his head as if asking what all this was all about.

[How did it sound like that...]

"I'm curious about that too."

Sierra's voice is transmitted through the crystal ball, maybe it's because she has power using mana.

[Did she notice the lie...? ]

"I don't think I ever felt that way. Not exactly."

If there's a reason, it's because Sierra has already become a dead body, so it doesn't work.

"...And you told me not to come near you."

Then he threw a word at the little girl at her feet.

"..."

Ray pierced one of his ears as he listened.

All in all, Ray jumped out from the direction I was passing, so I had to block her lightning strike.

Her blocking somehow ended up cutting her lightning, but thanks to that, her arm holding her urethra was still tingling and trembling unstoppably.

"...If you leave those words alone, you should be able to bear it because you're curious about lightning falling from the sky."

Raising her up from the floor, Ray brushed the dirt from her clothes.

Ray was curious.

She, like a warrior, has a clear and pure soul.

She is pure and curious.

"What... A hero is a warrior?"

It's also very typical.

At my nonsense, Ray glances at me and opens her mouth.

"What are you talking about, all of a sudden... But she's a saint. Was your brother acquainted with the saint?"

"I'm not just an acquaintance, I'm actually a saint's knight."

Although she is quite far from her divinity to call herself a knight of a saint.

"Hmm? If it's the Saint's Knights, isn't she the Silver Wings Knights? Only women can enter her?"

Wasn't it

I thought so too.

"It wasn't necessarily like that."

"...Well, that's it. What kind of a saint is this generation?"

"What kind of guy is she?"

"Authority, authority. If she were a saint, wouldn't she have it?"

"Aha, authority..."

"... Seris had a rather unusual power, but she wondered if she was like that this time too."

If it's Celis, she's a saint from the time when she was the hero Leon.

In other words, it was Ray's old colleague.

"You'll know when we meet this time."

"I'm going to see you? Should I go too?"

"Yes, since she's going to be Ray's colleague someday... I thought it would be better for her to introduce herself in advance."

"Is that all of a sudden?"

Ray shrugged her shoulders and looked at me with a trembling face.

"She's also someone you can trust, and above all... Lies don't work in front of her."

There is no meaning to hide, no need to hide.

In the first place, Ray had no choice.

Bernice had already met her at her academy, which meant she could roam her academy.

She goes later and discovers that her sister is there, and then she wonders if being questioned would seem more suspicious.

"Hmm, I think I know what authority it is.

"Right."

"It's a warrior's party... I miss you..."

"Soon there will be a new warrior party."

"Hehe, I'll take my older brother with me when that time comes."

Ray said and wiped her nose.

"Me?"

"Even dissatisfaction? A warrior's party? To enjoy great achievements together?"

"Then what is my role in the party?"

In response to my question, Ray touches her lips and begins to ponder seriously.

"Swordsmen are a bit... Overlapping with me as a hero... Assassin doesn't seem like a warrior party..."

"..."

"...How about porters? There's even a subspace pocket, right?"

"Oh, there was a porter."

"It's okay? It's safe."

Bashy Laughing Ray.

"No."

Her smile cut through her with a single knife.

"Why?"

"No porters."

I bitterly rejected Ray's offer.

That would be true, too. The porters of the warrior party I knew were largely divided into two categories.

Being unfair, or being a villain.
