Chapter 111
“I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
She didn’t miss the fact that Lute Dave’s voice was shaking with anxiety. At the same time, Leonhard’s arm grew strained.
Instead of the blue light disappearing from Rashir’s blade, Lute Dave’s red blood appeared on the sharp edge.
It was a relief.
It was because it meant that Lute Dave was not a warlock but merely a collaborator of the warlock. Of course, Count Sharpe wouldn’t think so.
Leonhard immediately took Rashir.
“Still not.”
“…Kuohk!”
Lute Dave stumbled, clutching his neck.
“I, I…”
“Don’t make excuses before I cut you down.”
He clenched his lips and rolled his eyes back and forth as if frightened.
“Only answer what I ask. Did you understand?”
“Yes.”
Lute Dave nods his head.
Celine was so shocked that she couldn’t say anything.
‘…It was just a means to come along.’
She thought that Lute Dave might also be one of the people manipulated by the warlock, but looking at Leonhard’s reaction, it seemed like he was a willing helper.
She bit her lip.
What reason would a wizard who has not yet become a warlock have to help a warlock?
“What is his purpose?”
“To kill the dragon…”
“….!”
Celine’s eyes widened.
“Lou? Why?”
“I don’t know about that.”
“There must be some reason. They didn’t tell you?”
“Yes…”
As she looked at Lou anxiously, it crashed into a barrier and fell. Despite the fact that it looked fine on the outside, she didn’t know what kind of problem it might have encountered.
“Where are they now?”
“I don’t know!”
As Lute Dave answered with a very frightened face, Leonhard lifted Rashir again.
“Please save me, Lord Leonhard! Lord Leonhard only punishes black magicians!”
She got goosebumps.
Lute Dave was right.
Leonhard only cut down warlocks. It was true that exceptions occasionally occurred. Still, that was only when Leonhard mistook the other person for a warlock. At the thought, Celine looked at Lute Dave in dismay, as she never thought that someone would exploit Leonhard’s principles in this way.
“I have something to gain from you, so I will let you live. However, if you lie…”
“Yes, I understand.”
Lute Dave nodded his head passionately.
“Do you really not know where they are?”
“Yes.”
“Why did I have to be here?”
When Leonhard asked what she had been curious about earlier, Lute Dave bowed his head.
“I heard that this would be the easiest place to deceive Lord Leonhard and Lute Celine.”
Celine frowned.
At first glance, all of Lute Dave’s words seemed useless, but they were consistent.
‘The warlock lured us here to kill Lou, and the reason it was here was because it was the easiest place to deceive us…’
She remembered that it was next to impossible to kill a dragon, so it was easier to turn them into a crazed dragon.
‘That’s probably the warlock’s goal as well.’
She had a question that came along.
‘Why…?’
The warlock’s ultimate goal would be Leonhard’s death. It was true that Lou was helpful to Celine and Leonhard, knowingly or unknowingly, but it was only a secondary element. There was no reason to lure them by putting the warlock’s own life in danger in order to make one Lou go crazy.
Her thoughts were forcibly interrupted by the sudden noise she heard as Lou flapped its wings anxiously again.
Her body became stiff.
It was because it wasn’t because of Lou, but instead, she could feel an evil energy suddenly revealing its presence in the air.
“Show yourself.”
Leonhard ordered.
However, the evil energy only grew stronger. Leonhard frowned and concentrated his mind on exploring the magical powers, but he did not gain much. Eventually, the evil energy grew so strong that it completely engulfed them.
Celine sat down on the floor and gasped.
While it wasn’t the first time she had felt her life threatened by black magic, this time was particularly different. She felt intimidated, as though she couldn’t resist even once.
“Celine!”
He sat down with her on the floor and gently hugged her.
“I’m fine, Leonhard. It’s just that it’s so stuffy…”
She couldn’t hear his answer, but Celine could read the concern, love, and pain in his eyes.
“As expected, we have to kill that person.”
Leonhard muttered.
“Don’t do that.”
“…He voluntarily cooperated with the warlock.”
“I think it would be truly unbearable for Leonhard to break the principles you have been following because of me.”
There was silence.
Leonhard looked at her intently instead of answering her, and Celine didn’t avoid his gaze as she returned it. In the end, he opened his mouth quietly.
“I get it.”
In short, he made a decision that felt more difficult than any decision he had made in his life.
Celine decided to just keep sitting on the floor until the warlock showed up. In the meanwhile, Lute Dave was pinned to the ground, rolled in ice by her magic. He was skilled enough to become the County’s wizard so he would not freeze to death.
She and Leonhard agreed that wandering around would just instigate the warlock.
“Anyway, Lou is here. The warlock has no choice but to appear.”
“Also, they can’t control these plants and make them attack us. Rather, the warlock’s attacks will be suppressed thanks to these.”
Leonhard’s voice was calm. He had already finished his analysis of the barrier.
There was a reason why Lute Dave was so surprised as soon as he noticed the barrier. Even though the barrier was difficult to recognize, once they knew it, breaking it was as easy as breaking a glass. Still, Leonhard left the barrier alone.
The warlock chose both the wrong opponent and the location.
‘…I will tear you to pieces.’
After a while, Celine and Leonhard realized that the time had finally come. It wasn’t because a warlock appeared but because the evil energy intensified and encroached on the land, and the once green and vibrant plants gradually withered.
In the end, there was nothing left alive in their sight.
“Reveal yourself.”
Leonhard spoke in a tone that showed no emotion, and very slowly, a woman appeared. She was such an ordinary-looking woman that if they met her on the street, they would forget her in ten seconds. However, Celine noticed one peculiar thing.
She couldn’t guess the age range of this warlock. The warlock’s face did not have any of the distinctive features that most people have.
‘…Strange.’
Celine soon realized that this was not limited to features.
She couldn’t properly judge the shade of the warlock’s hair. In some ways, it looked like the blonde hair that was common in this world, but it also looked like the exact opposite—black hair. She thought it was silver hair, yet it looked like white hair.
‘…This, too, is deception.’
She bit her lip.
The only deception magic she knew was a low-difficulty magic that made blonde hair look silver. This warlock had already reached the level of a master when it came to deception magic.
Leonhard’s eyes narrowed.
“It would be better to show your true face.”
“This is my true face, young Bernoulli.”
The warlock answered in a voice as sharp as an awl, making him want to block his ears for a moment.
“What gave you the guts to call us here?”
“Bernoulli, I am not interested in you. The same goes for your little lover, but you have to hand over that dragon.”
As the warlock raised her left hand, Lou, who was clinging to Celine, made a struggle.
“Lou!”
She tried to stop Lou, but it wasn’t enough. Lou, who was lying among the withered, dead grass, was dragged, howling, towards the warlock.
The warlock stared at it with eyes that seemed to be half in ecstasy.
“Perfect… A mature dragon that relies on humans.”
When a blue light flashed before Celine’s eyes, Leonhard stood tall, blocking her path before the sky began to distort.
Celine realized immediately.
‘Leonhard… broke the barrier.’
A cold smile appeared on Leonhard’s lips.
“It was your mistake, warlock.”
For the first time, the warlock showed signs of confusion before the next moment, she disappeared.
‘….?’
Celine looked around in bewilderment, but traces of the warlock could only be seen in the withered, dead plants. At the same time, before she knew it, Lou had come to her side.
Leonhard gently lifted her up.
“Let’s go.”
Celine didn’t ask where they were going.
It was because it was so natural.
They kept Lute Dave pinned to the ground and followed the warlock’s tracks. After the barrier was broken, traces of the warlock were scattered across the earth.
“This warlock is only powerful within the barrier. Once you find it, the rest is easy.”
“Then, the powerful black magic I felt…”
“Yes. It’s a deception.”
“And Lou was taken away?”
“Yes.”
Leonhard answered stiffly.
“I have never seen that level of deception magic before.”
“That’s amazing.”
Leonhard agreed to the casual words.
“Yes. So… everyone becomes a warlock.”
She squeezed his hand.
“Not everyone does that.”
“… I’m sorry. That was a slip of the tongue.”
“Please don’t say things like that again.”
At her words, Leonhard nodded his head with a serious face.
The warlock’s trail ended in a small crypt.
He snorted.
“How are they all the same?”
“Shall we go in?”
“Looks like this, too, will be full of barriers. The only way to go inside is to give up your neck.”
When he slammed Rashir at the entrance of the crypt, at the same time, severe tremors started from Rashir and began to spread throughout the ground. She felt what seemed like dozens of barriers being broken by the vibrations.
Inside, a warlock walked out.
As it received no help from the barrier, she returned to her true self.
“….!”
Celine couldn’t believe her eyes.
Her age was still unknown, but her face was different. The warlock looked so much like a person whose face was unforgettable.
‘…The Crown Prince?’
A bitter sigh flowed from Leonhard’s mouth.
“I thought it was strange. You know so much about dragons and is a master of deception magic…”
The warlock, who sensed that her true identity had been discovered, glared at Leonhard.
“Can you kill me, Young Bernoulli? This Princess of the Empire!”
