Chapter 70.2: Three Wizards (1)

Caenerna-nim, we have arrived at the city.

The knights spoke cautiously. Although all wizards were known to be quirky, the one they served, especially so.

But there was no other choice.

She was a wizard, almost a confidant of the Emperor.

Caenerna-nim, please be careful. The atmosphere in the City of Vaizen is not good.

I know.

Caenerna replied with a languid voice. She was a wizard, not a fool. She was far from those who couldnt read the atmosphere and flaunted their status.

Now, revealing that they were part of the Emperors forces in the City of Vaizen was not beneficial. Thus, the knights were in disguise, hiding their banners. It was dishonorable, but necessary.

Why so discontent? Wasnt it your wish to seek Sir Gairendel?

N-No, thats not it.

Is that all the honor and camaraderie of knights amounts to? Perhaps I was mistaken.

Discontent was evident on the knights faces. The wizards words had hit a sore spot.

But beyond the perspective of honor, coming here to find Sir Gairendel was an excessive waste.

Perhaps for Sir Karamaf, but knights like Gairendel were plentiful in the Emperors court.

And honestly, Gairendel losing contact meant. . .

?

, .

Sir Gairendel is originally from the Empires south. It wouldnt be strange if he had gone elsewhere.

Magic doesnt say so, so just follow orders quietly, will you?

. . .Yes. What should I do?

I need to go somewhere and have a conversation. If the other party doesnt listen, you might need to come and help.

. . .?

This is why knights are troublesome.

Caenerna gestured with her hand across her neck. The knights were horrified.The origin of this chapter's debut can be traced to N0v3l--B1n.

Should we kill them?

No. Dont kill. We need to kidnap and take them away. Can you do that? Surely you can.

. . . . . .

Though more difficult, the knights nodded. It was dishonorable and following the wizards order, but not impossible. They were capable.

Sneaking out of the city could be done by seeking help from the Emperors forces within the city. Once they revealed their identity, they would surely be assisted.

Geoffrey checked once, and the maid checked again, but Johan still examined his appearance one more time.

One of the virtues a knight should have, surprisingly, was fashion.

How stylishly one dressed could sometimes influence their reputation.

Of course, Johan wasnt doing this to visit any lady or maiden. Suetlg said disdainfully.

You can go comfortably.

Please wait a moment. Im nervous about meeting the wizard. . .

Ah.

Will you receive it, or refuse it?

Is it really necessary? An old friend comes visiting and you bring up old customs.

Alright. Ill accept it.

Gulrak grumbled but didnt back down. It seemed he wanted to bring Suetlg down a notch, finding him irritating.

Johan asked quietly.

What is the test?

A test youll like.

Suetlg, responding to Johan, said reluctantly.

Well, cant help it then. Go on, try it with the knight here.

Suetlg. Arent you going to do it?

Thats shameless. How could I do such a thing?

Isnt it shameless to pass it off to a knight? Sometimes, a wound to honor hurts more than a physical wound.

Despite his words, Gulrak rolled up his sleeves and approached. He thought whether it was to embarrass the man Suetlg brought or Suetlg himself, it was the same.

Johan asked.

So, what is the test?

Its something a knight should know well. Just grab each other and the one who falls loses. Simple, isnt it?

Oh. . .

A simple test of brute strength!

Johan looked at Suetlg, who nodded with a pleased expression.

It seemed he had been looking forward to this day.

Gulrak, oblivious, urged them on with an innocent expression.

What are you waiting for? Hurry up. Dont worry, Ill make sure no one gets hurt.

Well. . . alright. . . Lets do it.

Johan stepped forward and grabbed Gulraks arm. Gulrak also grabbed Johans arm.

Gulrak clicked his tongue.

If Suetlg was the philosopher of the Ipal River, then Gulrak was the wild man of the Black Forest.

He was enchanted by the mysteries of the forests nature and beasts and had inherited their power. He was especially close to bears and could somewhat harness their strength.

Challenging Gulrak to a test of strength was almost like challenging a bear.

Knowing this, Suetlg must have passed the defeat onto this poor young knight.

Shall I start?

As you wish.

Alright. Then. . . begin!

. . .???

Gulrak was baffled. The knight in front of him didnt move an inch. His face turned red with effort, and veins bulged, but Johan remained motionless.

Suetlg burst out laughing on the side. It was then that Gulrak realized he had been tricked.
