Chapter 68: Winter of the Knights (5)

Do not attack!

Suetlg urgently exclaimed upon seeing the Death Knight speak. Fortunately, it seemed this undead was not one to attack just anyone. He clearly had a specific purpose.

, , . . .!

. . . - ?

!

Johan realized the situation had become complicated.

A townsman could have sincerely answered, .

But what about Johan?

He instinctively felt it. This Death Knight would detect a lie.

Johan sighed deeply and picked up his mace and shield.

If youre a knight, figure it out with your strength.

! -! !

What are you doing?!

Suetlg exclaimed in shock. Even with boiling blood, it was audacious to pick a fight with a Death Knight!

Is there anything to be cautious about when dealing with him?

Do not touch his weapon! The necromantic poison is so potent it rots flesh and crumbles bones!

The Death Knight lunged, his swordsmanship from life ingrained in his movements.

!

The rusted longsword clashed with the shield. Despite being damaged, the weapon exerted immense pressure. A black trace, writhing as if alive, etched itself onto the shield amidst the hissing sound.

!

Johans shield was no ordinary one. Although a heater shield in shape, its material was unique.

Johans shield was made by melting metal in its entirety.

It was rare to use solid metal for shields. Thick wood was sufficient for defense, and metal made them too heavy. No matter how sturdy, if the bearer tired quickly, it was pointless.

But for Johan, such weight was insignificant. Thats why he chose a metal shield when receiving one from Count Jarpen.

That choice was now saving his life.The original appearance of this chapter can be found at Ñøv€lß1n.

, .

The Death Knight attacked relentlessly. If he were alive, he would have stopped for breath and fatigue, but the undead knight had no such limitations. The onslaught continued.

But a single counterattack was enough.

Blocking with his shield and gathering strength, Johan fiercely targeted the knights flank. The mace struck like a battering ram.

!

With a terrifying sound, the knight was flung aside.

Are you alright?!

Are you addressing me, or him?

Obviously you!

Im fine.

Though the shields surface was ruined, it remained intact. Unfortunately, it seemed the Death Knight was similarly undeterred. Any normal person would have been shattered, yet he attempted to rise again.

What does Karamaf have to do with you?

-. . . .

Who are you?

. . . .

Your family name?

.

As they conversed, the Death Knight stood and armed himself. Suetlg shouted to the knight.

The dead should return to the realm of the dead. What lingering attachment do you have to torment the living?

-.

I swear on the Ipal River, I do not know his whereabouts!

. . . ?

Instead of answering, Johan returned the mace. The Death Knight was struck and flew backwards again.

Suetlg exclaimed in astonishment.

What are you doing?! Its not enough to unleash his stupidity!

Suetlg-nim.

?

Karamaf has been dead for a long time.

. . .That sword was Karamafs sword?! No wonder. . .

But dont give up too easily. You might find yourself interested in some mystery someday.

Theres no mystery in swordsmanship or archery. . .

Enough of the nonsense. Lets go inside. Theyll be suspicious.

Johan and Suetlg pondered how to deal with the incident that happened at night.

. , .

?

? .

?

.

?

, . , ?

It was a valid point.

Johan decided to take a direct approach.

Lord, last night I saw a Death Knight roaming your fiefdom.

. . . . . .

The feudal lord appeared perplexed by the words brought up by Johan and Suetlg, who came alone.

I, what do you mean by that, I. . .

A wandering undead in the town can cause harm at any moment. It might seem tame now, but it could turn violent the next day. To hide such information while an undead lurks in the town. . . Arent you ashamed of your honor?

Suetlgs reprimand darkened the feudal lords face. He spoke with a heavy heart.

As a feudal lord, I have no intention of shirking my responsibility. I will deal with it somehow.

You dont have to worry about that. I have already defeated it.

. . .!!

Upon hearing Johans words, the feudal lord was speechless and stared at Johan. Suetlg added firmly.

I saw it with my own eyes. Its gone.

How?

With the valor of a knight and a bit of magic.

At Suetlgs signal, Johan put down his shield. It bore the marks of dark resentment, clearly signs of a battle with the Death Knight.

This knight had to risk his life due to your concealment of the truth. He deserves to know the truth. Please tell us, why was this death knight wandering around here?

Suetlgs forceful voice stirred the feudal lords heart.

The sweating dwarf pondered for a long time before speaking.

. . .That knight was slain by me.

!

Johan and Suetlg were both surprised by the unexpected confession.

After Karamaf went missing, the Emperor commanded the knights through letters to search for Karamaf.

Sir Gairendel was one of them.

He moved hastily, taking only a few subordinates, and during this, he visited the fiefdom of the Balpa family.

However, the Balpa family held a blood feud against the Emperor.

If it were Johan, he would have prepared to flee without even eating a meal the moment he knew, but Gairendel was different.

He requested hospitality as a guest, and from the moment the feudal lord accepted, Gairendel thought the lord would protect him according to tradition, regardless of any grudge.

Of course, there are always those who break traditions. That was the feudal lord of the Balpa family. He poisoned the food and drink, killing Sir Gairendel and his subordinates.

Youve done a terrible thing. To break such a tradition.

I know too. . . I know as well. But. . . seeing that guy, daring to praise the Emperor and Karamaf with his insolent mouth. . .

The feudal lord bowed his head in silence. Having spilled the truth, it was an attitude of resigned acceptance.

Suetlg nudged Johan.

?

. .

, , -, ?

, ! . , , , .

.

Indeed, they couldnt just leave the feudal lord like this. Johan organized his thoughts and then spoke.

I will pretend I didnt see it.

. . .??!!

The feudal lord suddenly raised his head. The words from the young knight in front of him were unexpectedly surprising.
