Chapter 61.1 - Who cut the waves (2)

    ***

    Cyronian was a kingdom located in the north.

    Therefore, the further we went, the lower the temperature became.

    The first thing they saw after leaving the neutral zone was the open sea.

    “It’s pretty.”

    Ruel smiled at the sea that appeared through the window.

    He felt that winter had arrived by seeing the slight freezing.

    He tried to open the window to feel the wind, but Cassion stopped him.

    “It’s colder as we head to Cyronian. You still have a fever, so just look.”

    Whether the carriage is wider or the carriage has a bed, the body was still burdened just by moving, and Ruel’s fever has risen.

    It was a simple fever, but Cassion paid more attention because he was on the move, not resting in the mansion.

    The heat patch had already been applied.

    —Ruel! Ruel! There’s a lot of water. I want to go in and swim.

    Leo wagged his tail constantly as he hung from the window with his short legs.

    “If you jump into the water on a day like this, will you catch a cold?...Can spirit’s get sick too?”

    —This body can’t catch an illness like that. Isn’t it Ruel who is sick every day?

    Cassion quietly covered his mouth and smirked as Leo poked brightly.Chee?ck out latest novels at novelhall.com

    Ruel tried to squeeze Leo’s tail, but he was powerless and left it alone.

    “How much time do we have left?”

    “Probably four more days. There is a bridge between Cyronian and the Neutral Zone, but it sometimes submerges depending on the flow of the waves, so you should consider it an additional three days.”

    A sea existed between the Neutral Zone, the Cyronian Kingdom, and the Kran Kingdom.

    A bridge was set up to connect the sea and the neutral zone.

    “The waves appear to be calm.”

    “It looks like that with the naked eye, but shouldn’t we be prepared?”

    Ruel exhaled lightly.

    Another good place to play tricks.

    The carriage stopped before the bridge after running non-stop for a while.

    Knock. Knock.

    Cassion answered when someone knocked on the carriage door.

    It was Ganien.

    “Ruel, from here on we’re going to cross the bridge.”

    “I heard it’s submerged by the waves. Is everything alright?”

    “I contacted my home country in advance, so the wizards are here. They’re going to freeze the surroundings and start the carriage. Don’t worry too much.”

    I would have been relieved if it was Cassion who said that, but unfortunately it was Ganien.

    The main character who brings incidents just by breathing.

    ‘Something’s going to happen.’

    After Ganien left, Ruel thought, touching his stomach with his hands.

    “If you’re swept away by the waves, it’ll be hard for even a knight to survive, right?”

    “What are you worried about?”

    “Bring Aris for a moment.”

    Aris was the only wizard here.

    Right now the wizards of Cyronian will be freezing the waves, so there was time to talk.

    “I see.”

    Cassion went out for a while and came back with Aris.

    “Did you call me, Ruel-nim?”

    Ruel glanced at Leo, who was still hanging on the window, and said as he tapped his side,

    “Come here, Leo.”

    —This body is busy seeing the sea.

    “The great purifier has something to do.”

    Tap. Tap. Tap.

    Leo ran to where Ruel pointed with his hand, his eyes sparkling.

    —What does this body have to do? This body is a great purifier.

    “Aris, you and Leo have something to do together, although there is a precondition.”

    “What are the prerequisites? I’ll do anything.”

    Aris uttered a word with a firm will.

    “I think something is going to happen while crossing the bridge, can you get rid of the waves?”

    —Do I have to swim?

    Leo wagged his tail.

    “Of course it has. So, were there any problems with the mansion?”

    Billo remained silent for a moment.

    “Billo.”

    -Actually, there was an intruder. Don’t worry, the mansion is safe.

    “Is it Red Ash?”

    -It looks like that. They tried to self-destruct and I couldn’t identify them. I’m sorry.

    “No, tell each of the barons and ask them to increase the number of soldiers patrols a little more.”

    -All right.

    Ruel turned off the communication device and handed it over to Cassion.

    “It seems to be another psychological attack rather than the beginning of a real attack.”

    “That’s what I think.”

    There has never been a raid on the mansion before.

    But this attack happened for the first time while he was away for a long time.

    Ruel grinned.

    “It stopped shaking as much.”

    “Excuse me.”

    Cassion put Leo into Ruel’s arms and opened the carriage door.

    “...?”

    When the carriage door opened, both Ruel inside the carriage and the knights guarding the outside were startled.

    Cassion held Ruel and exited the carriage calmly.

    “It wasn’t on either side but from beneath. I don’t know how sturdy the carriage is, so I’ll try to avoid it myself for now.”

    “Ruel!”

    Ganien came running calling out to Ruel.

    He had already drawn his sword.

    “Leo, come here.”

    Aris, who got off the carriage, reached out for Leo.

    Leo alternately looked at Ruel and Aris and rubbed his face against Ruel.

    —This body is better with Ruel.

    Thank you, but now is not the time to say that.

    “Leo, go to Aris. Did you forget what I said in the carriage?”

    —Ah! I see!

    Leo jumped into Aris’ arms.

    “We will live up to your expectations.”

    Showing the same spirit as a knight, Aris broke through the knights and went out.

    “All of a sudden, what is this...”

    In response to the sudden action, the commander of the knights approached Ruel.

    But he couldn’t continue.

    “Enemy!”

    Whoo!

    A large stream of water popped out from the point where the carriage was.

    Among them was an enemy dressed in white.

    Ruel was lifted into the air above Cassion’s shoulder, and as soon as he saw the carriage crash to the ground, he swallowed.

    It was not crushed or broken for now.

    “It’s a pretty sturdy carriage.”

    Cassion moved swiftly, uttering a relaxed sound.

    In case Ruel got wet, he escaped from the encircling knights, avoiding splashing water droplets.

    “Chief.”

    Ruel was surprised by Hina’s voice coming from behind.

    “I cut their necks. Two.”

    After bringing it up, Hina disappeared again.

    Ruel frowned.

    I expected it, but I didn’t expect two of them among Cyronian’s wizards.

    “Are you cold? I should have brought a blanket.”

    Ruel’s condition was conveyed through his shivering hands.

    He was already feverish, but with the cold his whole body was trembling.

    “Protect the Lord!”

    The commander of the Knights shouted loudly.

    At the same time, he looked at Ruel with concern.
