Chapter 469

Episode 469 The first demon lord, Beriel (2)

After that, a day passed, and the falling knights appeared.

At first, they were female knights, no matter how many users they were, but after subtracting mana, it was natural that they were weaker than men.

Recognizing the situation, Ray checked their physical condition.

Without looking closely, I could tell that it was malnutrition.

He just collapsed from anemia for a while.

She hadn’t even drank water or soup in the meantime, and her lips had a lot of dead skin cells.

It seems that she has come to dehydration.

“I don’t know why you insist.”

He murmured and fed them the diluted soup.

When food enters your mouth, you swallow it with a good gulp.

In the meantime, I was eating in a half-conscious state, probably because I had been struggling with hunger and had trouble falling asleep.

how long has it been like that

I fell asleep after eating half of the soup in the canteen.

Putting them back in prison, Ray beat the bar a couple of times again.

Tong- Tong-

“If this continues, more people will collapse. Maybe I will die this time.”

Death is no big deal to them.

It is said that Seongguk throws away his life like straw with one faith, but the same goes for Heukbang.

I don’t know what it was for, but they had no hesitation in giving up their own lives.

When no one answered, Ray moved the sack to each bar again as usual.

I made black tea according to the number of people and put it in a canteen.

The soft scent of black tea spread through the hard prison jade.

It seemed that his nerves, which had become sharp due to the empty stomach, were relieved little by little.

After finishing his work, Ray went out of prison that way.

After he disappeared, the knights each opened their mouths.

“I can’t go on like this any longer.”

“I agree. There’s nothing good about enduring like this. I only buy their sympathy.”

“Besides, you’ve already become a body that can’t resist.”

When I hold out my hand, I see numerous scar marks.

The knights exchanged words.

“I suffered a lot from Celia. Thanks to that, even when I gripped the barbed wire, I didn’t have much strength.”

“Isn’t there a possibility of recovery with divine power?”

“Sounds like nothing. You’ll need at least three priests. A lot of time has already passed…”

“You won’t have to hold a sword anymore, so don’t be too heartbroken.”

They seemed to have been talking for a long time indeed.

When someone took out some bread from a sack and handed it out, they naturally accepted and ate it.

I took a big bite of the bread and put it in my mouth and chewed it.

Since it was soft bread, not hard bread, they did not have much difficulty eating it.

“It’s delicious.”

“It doesn’t seem like bread enough to be handed over to prisoners.”

Because of the food he hadn’t eaten in a long time, the bread disappeared without much time to talk.

In the meantime.

Someone drank tea and screamed.

“Ah! This is…”

While he was talking, his body stiffened as he drank tea.

Did you even hear the poison?

The sweet bread I was eating felt heavy like a stone in my mouth.

at that moment.

The driver drank all the black tea in the canteen and let out a short breath.

“This… This is not black tea…”

“If it’s not black tea, would it be alcohol?

“no. It’s not like that. This…”

It didn’t look too dangerous, so another knight behind bars drank a little tea.

OK.

“This is this…”

Like the courtesy knight, he drinks all the black tea in the canteen.

It was not enough that the black tea they were drinking was gone, so the drivers felt frustrated as they stared at the canteen with blank eyes.

“Tell me something. What was that black tea about?”

“This is a tea I have never had before. No… I don’t even know if this is black tea.”

As they were saying the same words as Seon dialogue, the eldest knight frowned and said to the barricade on the other side.

“Hey, can I get you a cup of tea over there?”

“It’s not difficult to give… but you should eat a little?”

“Of course.”

As soon as I handed over the canteen, the elderly knight who received it without difficulty immediately took a sip of black tea.

I savor it in my mouth and smell the aroma of black tea.

I unknowingly swallowed it.

He looked at the tea.

one sip within. I put it in my mouth again.

I was thinking of savoring it as if I were drinking a drink with a deep flavor.

Gulp –

swallowed again.

When it got to that point, the old man noticed too.

“This… what is it…?”

It is the whole body’s refusal to savor.

The flavor is mild and there is little bitterness left in the mouth.

Besides, it tasted so good that it couldn’t even be compared to that of black tea.

Contrary to what the old man had promised, he drank all the black tea in the canteen.

“Old man!”

“Heo-euk… I’m sorry.”

Seeing him lick his canteen while apologizing, he must be insane.

“What is it? What is that black tea…”

“That’s not black tea! Now this old man has sworn to live for tea for the rest of his life!”

I am really betting the rest of my life on a topic that I muttered, ‘What is black tea…’ just a while ago.

“Sorry to you guys, but I have no intention of giving up black tea.”

“So what are we going to drink?”

“Isn’t it okay to drink soup? Bread and tea are enough for me.”

“Where is that! Even if we all share a drink, it won’t be enough!”

“Who’s the one who said he didn’t eat the food the enemy gave him?”

Despite being a dwarf, Ray learned tea from a dwarf who claimed to be the god of the tea ceremony, and rode tea while being beaten numerous times by derps.

As a result, it became possible to ride a car that would impress even the god of the tea ceremony.

God admired it, but how can humans do anything different?

Some articles who learned about the taste of his tea protested.

“You can’t let the old man monopolize it alone.”

“Let’s share it little by little.”

“Don’t you guys know the word respect for the elderly?”

“Respect and sharing are different, old man.”

“Shouldn’t you yield a little to the old man who is about to leave?”

“When I see you fighting, I know you’re still in good spirits.”

The old man sighed impatiently at the knights who did not lose a word.

“Okay. I tried to be greedy, but it doesn’t work for you.”

It was said that it was heartless, but the knights were consistent in their ignorance.

“Wouldn’t the tea taste better if we all drank it together?”

It was an old man who does not know how to share, but he also ignored the old article.

For the first time like that, the prison was noisy.

* * *

“Ughhh…”

“Is everyone okay?”

Seongguk quickly tried to line up.

But it was so dark inside that I couldn’t see properly.

“Is it red?”

“It doesn’t seem like that at all. To see that we are still alive.”

“Then what the hell is this…”

It wasn’t just the soldiers of the Seongguk.

In the dimly visible huge cavity, the figures of villagers, bandits, merchants, and, to a lesser extent, nobles were also reflected.

“Hey, where are you!”

“Aagh! Please save me!”

Merchants and villagers saw the bandits and thought they were kidnapped.

The nobles quietly hid and looked at the situation, while the bandits looked around to see where they were.

Minister Deor, who was in charge of commanding the troops of the Holy Kingdom, spoke to the surroundings.

“Light the torch.”

“yes.”

Fortunately, the wagon was in pretty good condition.

As they lit the torches they had brought in preparation for the camp, the surroundings of the knights became quite bright.

Maybe it was because of seeing the knights of the Holy Kingdom wearing plate armor.

Residents escaped the bandits and approached.

“Please save me! I did nothing wrong! They often give prayers to the Holy Kingdom…”

The current situation is embarrassing for the Holy Kingdom, so they surrounded the High Priestess Deor and pushed back those who approached.

“Don’t come closer.”

“Go away.”

“If the flag knights throw us out, we will die.”

One of the knights looked at the high priest because he felt sorry for him as he spoke in fear.

Then, the high priest Deor nodded slightly.

“How can a priest who serves a god ruthlessly cast out those he fears?”

“Yes, I understand.”

“It’s a big deal anyway. The torch won’t last long…”

As he expressed his disapproval, a nearby nobleman raised his hand cautiously.

“…I’m a 3rd circle mage. As long as it’s light magic, you can use it.”

At that, the high priest Deor was pleased.

Things would get a little better with a mage.

If he knew where this place was, he could have sent support to the Holy Land.

“Excuse me, but may I ask you for magic?”

Despite his request, the aristocrat only groaned.

“I was about to do the same, but… it hasn’t been going well since a while ago.”

At his words, High Priest Deor expressed a question.

“What do you mean?”

“…When I tried to cast magic, the mana suddenly disappeared. It’s probably difficult to use mana here.”

When they said that even the hopeful wizard couldn’t use magic, their complexion darkened again.

That moment.

The low cry of the beast came from afar

.

Paladins raised their holy power in preparation for that.

no i was trying to pull it up.

However, there was no reaction from their body.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

All I could do was stand there with my sword drawn.

“The high priest’s divine power…”

“…I know that too.”

High priest Deor, who was trying to raise his divine power in preparation for an emergency, felt nervous as he felt the divine power that did not move no matter how much he used the dragon.

Apparently, the three spirits are not used here.

Beyond the joint, a monster I had never seen before appeared with rough breathing.

It has huge fangs on its snake-like body.

It had a small horn on its forehead, and it looked quite dangerous as the rock wall melted away every time it brushed against the wall.

‘Gaia, will you really forsake us?’

High Priest Deor shouted to the surroundings.

“Prepare for battle!”

Now that I can’t use the divine power.

All they had to do was buy time until everyone ran away.

The bandits noticed and stole some torches and ran away.

Since the spirit had weakened a lot, the priests and priests could not cope and had to take the torch away from them.

Worse still.

As a few torches faded, the inside of the cavity grew a little darker.

Now I can’t even see the shape of the monster.

High Priest Deor shouted.

“Fire the wagon!”

At his command, the paladins moved busily.

When the row of wagons were set on fire, the surroundings instantly became brighter.

Then, the number of monsters that had not been seen before came into view.

One that crawls like a snake.

A four-legged beast quietly waiting for its time under a hollow cave.

And three monsters that look like orcs.

In terms of numbers, they had the upper hand, but since they couldn’t use divine power, the story was a little different.

Maybe we could all die here.

Their faces gradually hardened.
