It's been a few days since I passed the ordeal of the World Water Expedition. The victory ceremony held in commemoration continued for three days. Today was the last day.

Thousands of soldiers, knights, adventurers, and pilgrims gathered.

On the altar, the bishop recited the sermon.

“In the eyes of God, they faced death as warriors. Death of the strong, boiling blood and metal. ”

I couldn't help but thank God at the triumphant ceremony. However, at this moment, Bishop Bifrost became embarrassed.

Now that you've won the battle, you'll have to thank the god of war. But to which god of war?

Although the current god of war is Thyr, his own son Roland was at the forefront of this victory. And isn't Lollant famous for Odin the Great Warrior of the Old War?

After all, the bishop did not mention the name of the god of war in his prayers. He merely mentioned Valdur's name and offered his gratitude and sacrifice to all of Asgard.

Subsequently, the main players of the battle ascend onto the altar. General Yeongdong and his commanders, including Borzoa, and the hero Roland.

As Lollan emerges, an enormous scream envelops the square.

“Roland, Roland, Roland! ”

On the other hand, Earl Bifrost, who should be the main actor of the festival, sat uncomfortably in the office.

I wasn't resting. I had to wait for a guest who was supposed to come soon. Guests I don't want to meet very much.

After a while, the door opened. And a polite guest appeared.

“Greetings, Earl. ”

Vikappa stood up and gave an example.

“I'm impressed by your procession, Iced Pearl. ”

Ice Spicy set an example, but it was dry. I immediately noticed that I wanted to get to the point.

Commander Iced Spicy said:

“You'll be uncomfortable with a con man impersonating that hero. ”

Bikapa blurs at the obvious question.

“I'm not happy. ”

Vikappa didn't appreciate the topic, but she didn't care.

“That swindler, I hear Cardinal Osron brought him here? Everyone knows that he has a grudge against the Earl. Of course you're up to something. What do you think you're up to? Siege Bifrost by inciting a crowd to spend the night in a pit outside the walls? Or say it was a Bifrost change bag to get rid of the current lord? Either way, Osron will pay for what he's done. Leading that loathsome charlatan! ”

Vikappa frowns and asks.

“Do you really think he's a fraud? ”

“Of course. Why not? ”

“It sounds like you did an unbelievable job in this battle. ”

“Killed all the elephants? What he did in the fight was proof that he was a fake. You think an ancient knight knows what a cannon is, and he's using it as a tactic? ”

As Bikappa, I wanted to ask you: If you're worse than the Ancient Knight, how can you blame the modern weapon for even that tactic?

Of course, I didn't take it out of my mouth. Instead, I asked him something else.

“I heard he jumped into the air and threw a spear of blood. It was like a spear. ”

“Gunnir? Ridiculous soldiers and legendary starving knights, Earl. I only believe what I see. And I've never seen anything like it. I couldn't spare a single eye. I was fulfilling my duties at the time. ”

“Obligations? ”

“Your duty as commander. An ally under my command just defeated a Troll army! When a moron like Bojoa abandons his command and cuts without thinking, I do it! ”

“So you don't believe the duc because he can't see it? ”

“Yes. In fact, whether you saw them or didn't hear them, how can you believe their nonsense? My fellow war priests and dedicated priests also gathered their mouths and said," It is impossible to bring heroes from Valhalla. "It was also a theological trivia that I don't even have to explain. On the other hand, think about how absurd those idiots are. Jump to the ceiling and thrust your spear into the center of the enemy? Do you intend to claim that it can be done by human Awakening? ”

Vikappa was not complaining, she was just sick inside. Remembering his battle with the giants.

Then the knight pushes unilaterally, rather than pushing against the giant. · · · · · · · · It would have been impossible for such a superhuman to jump a little higher.

Anyway, Vikappa was silent. Ice Spicy continued.

“But those idiots were fooled. Because of that, I was humiliated, Earl. I've never been humiliated like this in my life. His trickster insulted me. Do you know what that means? Now the Earl and I have a common enemy. ”

“A common enemy? ”

Iced Spicy solemnly declared:

“We are allies in this hour, Earl. ”

Unexpectedly, Vikappa opens her eyes wide. Iced Spicy spoke with a serious face.

“I'll lend you my strength under the circumstances. Now you have over a million Marines on your side. ”

“I really don't know what to say."

“There's nothing to be afraid of, Earl. ”

Then she leaves the room. With a face that has accomplished something great.

I thought about the bear Bikappa just talked about.

An alliance with the Duke of the Grand Duke?

It was definitely not a bad offer.

‘What if 100,000 troops help you with the threat of the throne to come? ’

After a little more thought, Vikappa shakes her head. It was not something you would unconditionally like.

What's so great about making an alliance with a verbal agreement? And the one we just talked about is Iced Spicy.

Screwing Ice Spice. As one of the Five Dukes of the Grand Duke, he was the ruler of Zigo. Lord of the fever, feared and envied by all the kings of Midgard.

Despite his authority, he was almost expelled from Bifrost because of the stupid crap he did in his tracks.

This is what happened at the time, as I overheard. Icelandic felt that one governor had insulted him. As soon as he set up his army to retaliate, he realized that the lords of the Grand Duke had formed a terribly large alliance against him.

As a result, Iced Spicy made his way to Bifrost. To disguise the sheep whose purpose was to build an army.

Vikappa didn't know if it was real or not. After all, it was clear he wasn't a reliable ally.

The purpose of the two kingdoms in the beginning is similar, but it is actually different. Vikappa was satisfied with whatever Roland was doing, as long as he was safe with this throne.

But the duc had a grudge against Lollan and wanted to do some aggressive damage.

‘Maybe I'll join him in retaliation for no reason and give him some · · · · · · · ·. ’

So Vikappa concluded. That alliance might be helpful under the circumstances, but it's better to just pretend it's not there.

There were true allies apart.

Vikappa leaves the Oval Office and sets foot in the Lord's Noble Room. It was a space I gave to a new ally.

A few days ago, Vikappa's mercenary brought a raven who was wounded. It's because I knew that Vikapas usually like crows. The corpses left by the water of the world will soon become the flesh of monsters, i.e. the harpies and crows that remove the corpses for monsters to eat were very useful beasts for Vikapa to see.

Indeed, Vikappa instructed the crows to be treated. Even the priests and doctors took care of the crow. Thanks to that care, the crows soon healed.

As such, Vikappa has a new ally.

There is a woman waiting for you when you open the door.

A beautiful woman. Despite being barefoot, she is not ashamed at all. She glances at this side and smiles.

“Oh, Vikappa? Welcome."

Vikappa bows her head.

“How are you feeling, Morgana? ”

“I'm fine, thanks to you. So why did you come? ”

“I just want to hear what I said before. Saying Roland and his herd are probably not real. ”

Morgana said as if it were a joke.

“Told you? Heroes don't come from Valhalla. How many times has the bishop told you? ”

“But · · · · · · ·"

“Think about why that fool Frey lost Leviathan. It was too valuable for the brokerage, but I had to pay it. In exchange for his deputy going to Midgard. It's that hard to go back and forth from heaven.

Even if Frey is the god, we can't let Midgard do his errands for free. How can I send Roland to one of the Valhalla Warriors' accounts? In order to do that, you're gonna have to rip off one of your arms. But there are many who have come. Then my whole body wouldn't have been enough. ”

In the end, Morgana's argument was the same as the Bishop's logic. You can't beat up Valhalla's heroes for giving her some gold.

But Vikappa said powerlessly.

“Despite that, they're proving it. You're a hero. You said you defeated all the monsters, defeated, defeated and defeated all your achievements, even though you were a dragon. ”

“Well, that was unexpected. You said you looked like Maurice, but you used real spells and even had his issues. But doing the same thing with Maurice doesn't mean he's the same person. In fact, they don't behave like real heroes.

That Maurice didn't even recognize me. Even though he was a dragon, he didn't even notice his voice. Besides, Iced Spicy? I heard that jerk only had enough to put up with when he was scooping. He never would have done that with a real Lollant. If he feels insulted, he'll throw gloves or punch his way out without gloves. ”

“Then what is it? Heroic ability, but not a hero? ”

“There are many possibilities. Like the summons of the priests, it could be a body containing a part of the soul or a copy made by the gods of their own free will. Either way, it's offensive, but Frey can handle it. A fool who was taken away by the Giants of the Apocalypse to hide his rune sword to use to prevent the end of the world. What else can't you do? ”

It was hard to understand, but it was a reliable story. The witch in front of me was Morgana.

An ancient witch who appears in countless godless poems. A shapeshifter who has lived for centuries.

At first glance, the witch's transformation was truly remarkable enough to turn a man into a woman, and vice versa. Maybe even turn himself from a raven to a dragon.

Vikappa could not imagine how that could be possible. When it comes to the unimaginable, the witch is the expert.

However, despite what the expert said, Vikappa was not at ease.

“But what difference does it make to me if everyone believes he's a Lollant, and that he's actually a Lollant? We may meet our enemies someday. ”

“Why not be hostile? I'll do the same. He even swore he wouldn't retaliate in the backyard. So leave it alone. If their identity originated in fragments, shadows or heroes, they would be proud. If you don't shut up, I won't be unjustly harmed. So watch out for Osron instead of Lollan. ”

As soon as the Cardinal's name was mentioned, Vikappa opened her eyes wide. He's dangerous, of course. But why does that name come from that witch's mouth?

“What do you know about him? ”

“It's a secret. I took an oath. So I can't tell you, but · · · · · · · anyway · Roland's not too busy beating up monsters. Watch out for Osron, okay? ”

After finally returning to his office, Vikappa thought:

Roland's not a danger to me? So it doesn't matter? ’

But it also did not seem so.

The bishop and Morgana have not spoken to either ally, but Vikappa has already done business with Lollan. To be precise, I did things to my colleagues.

Not long ago, King Os was told he wanted to enter the gold and perform a ritual. I don't know what the ritual is, but I couldn't pass it on as Bikappa, offering gold.

What do you mean, wasting the gold you have to pay yourself? As a creditor, Vikappa immediately took action.

As such, Vikappa sent a group of troops to the temple.

I was afraid of the gods to directly disturb the consciousness, so I forced the robbers to pose as mercenaries. I ordered the hounds to defeat the priests of the temple and bring the gold carried there.

Later, I heard that those who were involved in the raid were wiped out. And soon after that, Roland appeared.

So Vikappa was anxious. I'm guessing that Roland is the prime suspect in the raid. And maybe he's got a grudge.

I heard the hounds attacked at night, but did they hurt their sleeping companion? As such, if Roland feels obligated to retaliate, that's a big deal.

This infamous banker's throne was in jeopardy. The yard was already surrounded by hazards.

Financial crisis, mobs eager to enter the city, monsters, giants, King Os, Osron · · · · · · · · ·.

I hope you don't add an ancient hero with a grudge to that list. Vikappa really wanted it.
