Sword Pilgrim-Chapter 231

Episode 231

“I will leave Carpe.”

Stomping rumble!!

A thunderbolt struck in the Queen’s head.

His eyes, which pretended to be resolute, wavered aimlessly, and his limbs trembled like aspen trees.

“What did I… do wrong?”

“no.”

“Then then why…”

“The reason I am in Carpe is because Carpe is dangerous.”

“What do you mean? Please explain so I can understand.”

“I bought the Balaur’s grudge. Corruption also pursues me. God is watching me too.”

At this level, being in Carpe was a sin.

I had thought about it for a long time, but I couldn’t do it because Carpe was in my heart.

But now it’s a little different.

The remnants in his hands became his strength, and even the strength of the demigod rose.

Even if the dragon and the depravity god rushed into it in earnest, they had somehow reached a point where they could handle it.

“You mean to go to another country… to an empire? Or a new country…”

“No. You know best that I am not interested in such things.”

“…You are Carpe’s enemy. I can’t leave without doing anything like this.”

“Since I have become Carpe’s enemy, I will complete my duty and leave.”

“If it’s the right mission.”

“I will come after slashing the principality. That would make everyone understand.”

this is the best he can do.

“Carpe is my hometown. Even if we leave, we will always be there for Carpe, so please think of it as going on a long trip.”

“but!”

“I have been deprived of God’s grace. I can’t even call him Zervan anymore. The god of Balterus no longer exists for me.”

The four nobles were those who received grace from Balterus.

The moment he denied Balterus, he could no longer enjoy the position of the four great nobles.

“Emily, what about Emily?”

“The Countess will be inherited from Emily. I am not qualified.”

“no! The Count deserves more than anyone! There will be no aristocrat more qualified than you anywhere in the world.”

But Colliers was silent.

It seemed that he had already made up his mind.

Tears welled up in the queen’s eyes.

“Why are you trying to leave me? Is it because I forced you to marry? I won’t. I won’t…”

He grabs onto Colius’ sleeve.

He knew without looking what the queen’s face would look like as she lowered her head and spoke.

So he knelt down.

“Keep your body tight, Your Majesty.”

Since the power of the empire has grown.

Carpe couldn’t confidently use the word majesty.

Nobles also did not sing very well.

I was always told to tell.

As long as you don’t break the empire.

It was because of the qualifications that he did not deserve to be called that.

But at this moment.

Colius called her his majesty.

The queen’s big eyes shook.

body pain.

The solemnity to be observed as a queen.

even at this moment.

Even at the moment when one of the only trustworthy people in this castle with few people to trust is about to leave.

She had to keep her dignity as a queen.

Again.

Tears ran down my cheeks.

“Is there any change in your heart?”

“yes. I am probably destined to be a pilgrim, wandering all my life.”

“I have heard that too. They say the Count still hasn’t made a scabbard.”

“It’s because I couldn’t find the right sword.”

‘Although I can’t even make a sword now.’

Callius swallowed his words inwardly, waiting for the queen’s permission.

how long has it been like that

The Queen opened her mouth.

“Can I call you something now? You, who are not counts, enemies, and people of Carpe.”

“Please call me Callius.”

“Then you too. You call me too.”

“…”

“Clara. Please call me.”

hesitate for a moment

It was done as intended.

“Clara.”

A bright smile like a flower bloomed on the weeping queen’s lips.

Callius unconsciously put his hand to her cheek.

“It’s cold here. It’s underground and it’s a prison where you can’t feel the warmth.”

“yes.”

“I might catch a cold at this rate. Everyone would laugh at the queen if she came to prison and caught a cold.”

“yes.”

“so.”

so as not to catch a cold.

“Please hug me.”

“yes.”

The hand that used to touch Clara’s cheek now embraces her.

When I hold him in his arms, I feel warm and cozy as if my whole body is about to melt.

Clara, who was digging deeper into her arms, hugged him tightly, hiding her tears.

“Callius.”

“yes.”

“Don’t die before I die. If I die, come find me.”

“…yes.”

May your endless pilgrimage end with my death.

Clara was talking.

If so. if you can do that Turn yourself into a sword to end the pilgrimage.

“If your lonely and solitary destiny does not end, if your destiny can complete the pilgrimage because of me, I will gladly give it up.”

“Yes, I will.”

and for a while

For a long time, Clara couldn’t stop crying in his arms.

* * *

A few days later.

“Are you really leaving? sibling.”

Cedric asked with a worried face to Callius, who was sitting in the mansion’s office. The last time I saw him in Lumpad, I hadn’t been able to say hello, so Colleas greeted him with a welcome heart.

“It’s embarrassing that you’re the one who put us here, but you’re leaving so suddenly. I haven’t even paid off my debt yet.”

“You can pay that debt to Carpe. Cedric and you and Beatrice.”

Cedric couldn’t say anything more at the attitude of Colius, who seemed to have already made up his mind. Beatrice glared at her with a pouty face for a while before opening her mouth.

“It wasn’t entirely because of me that I was stuck in that closet and did research. It’s not even for carpe.”

“I am always grateful for your hard work. I spoke to His Majesty. It doesn’t matter if you bring the followers of the whip to Carpe.”

There are many territories left in the west and south.

Among the Followers of Gauntlets and Whips, those with fairly strong powers should be given titles and territories to restore the broken land.

It would be nice for them to be able to receive titles and territories, and Carpe would be nice to be able to easily restore war-torn lands.

“I’m not saying that.”

“Know. Beatrice. I have always been grateful to you. This time, the study of the Sword Master went faster than I thought.”

It was said that Beatrice’s goldsmithing was improving day by day.

Sooner or later, you’ll probably have skills comparable to Sullivan’s reputation.

“Cedric said you’re going to subdue the remnants left in Carpe with Bran.”

“Ah, since the dragon you gave me, Beati, is with me, there was no problem. Bran especially cared for Beatty.”

“is it.”

Beatty is the first ironclad dragon created by Colius.

I was going to collect it, but I have to leave it as a gift for Carpe.

There are plenty of dragons.

“Even if you leave, it doesn’t mean you won’t come back at all. The North is my hometown and it is where I must return.”

“Are we going to the north first?”

“okay.”

I also left Bibi in the North.

The shield will also be there, so it’s good to take one last look and leave.

Elverton and Bernard.

And there is also the Great Fairy Tell.

You don’t know when it will come back, so it’s right to see it while you can.

“Your daughter…”

“Hmm.”

I felt sorry for Emily.

“I’ll be back soon, so you have to wait.”

To protect Emily, the elves of the Gray Legion were attached as escorts.

I could feel them getting closer, so I knew they were coming soon.

I was waiting for my daughter, so for some reason, many people came up to say hello.

Knights and nobles who followed him.

He has achieved great success by many people, including the Paladins of the Heretic Inquisition, who he had been with for a while.

Still, he thought, it seemed that he had not lived in vain all this time.

If he was just an idiot, he wouldn’t have come here to find himself with nothing.

“What are you going to say to Emily?”

“I must tell you the truth.”

I’m sorry if you understand.

I’m sorry if you don’t understand.

Callius always had no choice but to feel sorry for Emily.

and that night.

bang!

The door of the mansion was thrown wide open.

A large number of people gathered in front of Colius while he was refining his sword in the office.

Emily Esther.

Serena Aldufilo and the Pilgrims.

“You said you were leaving.”

“okay.”

“The Queen asked me to receive a title ceremony.”

“I asked you to do that.”

The granting of a title to Jervan is outside the king’s authority, but he insisted on doing so.

Because it was necessary to announce that Zervan’s owner had changed.

“Should I leave?”

“You have to leave.”

“I want to go too.”

“Let’s go together until the north.”

“After that?”

“I will go alone.”

“why?”

“Because I am a pilgrim.”

I don’t even worship God anymore.

But he had to go on a pilgrimage.

I became a demigod, but nothing was certain.

I don’t know why I came to this world.

Not sure what to do.

So he must find it.

own purpose.

And the pilgrimage to find the sword.

Also, you don’t need a companion on the pilgrimage.

He doesn’t want Emily involved in her fate.

It’s not that I haven’t thought about it.

Wouldn’t it be better to be together?

If you’re by my side, if you’re in a visible place, I’ll be able to protect you anytime.

But I soon lost my mind.

If you think about the people you will meet in the future, you won’t be able to afford that.

As always, there are many strong people in the world, and life is always at stake.

“Please take care of Esther’s daughter.”

“Am I too angry?”

“Please.”

As soon as I looked around, there were some unfamiliar faces and some familiar faces.

“Is it Chris?”

“Do you remember me?”

Pretty embarrassed face.

Come to think of it, he seems to be unable to remember Colius’ face properly.

“Nice to meet you in the North.”

Be polite and say hello.

“You are the pilgrim who helped me. He said he helped Grandpa Bernard in the North too.”

“You tried.”

“And they say they are looking for the pilgrim who saved them.”

It seemed like he was talking about things in the empire.

Callius smiled and patted him on the shoulder for a moment.

The moment you want to say something soon.

“long time no see. Mr. Colliers.”

Another pilgrim stepped forward one by one and pretended to know him.

I saw someone

“Do you remember me?”

His impression changed a bit, but it was certain.

“Torretro. Leoné de Torrett.”

It seems that the boy who used to be the lord of a small territory that he saw when he was performing the mercy of a knight who died on the battlefield is now a young man and a pilgrim.

“Then I heard that the Church had taken over Torret after I left.”

“Yes, unfortunately at that time, Torret was taken away, and I somehow became a pilgrim.”

Fate is so bizarre.

“…my fault. You suffered some harm because of me.”

At that time, Colius was powerless and was in a position to be chased by the Church.

What happened to Torret after that had long since disappeared from his mind.

Because after Torret, he always stood at the crossroads of life and death.

When he had some time to spare, he had already moved for Carpe instead of worrying about the small territory of Torretra.

“no. A powerless lord is bound to lose his territory at any time.”

Leone said it wasn’t his fault and was just happy.

Thanks to that, I felt even more sorry.

“I will help you recover the manor.”

Callius promised Esther to get Torret back.

It wouldn’t be too difficult if you told the queen that it was your request.

Esther nodded happily.

“First of all, it’s fate that we got together like this. Have a meal.”

Callius treated them to a meal, and afterwards Esther and Esther met alone.

“Callius.”

“Tell me.”

“Are you not willing to accept the offer I made last time?”

“You mean to go find the holy sword?”

“yes.”

holy sword.

When I said it before, I refused because there was a lot of work to do and it was meaningless.

But then and now are different.

‘I can no longer perform the miracle of Balterus.’

The connection with him was severed, and it became a body that could not make a corpse.

The only thing that can be made into the dead now is the main armor from the first armor obtained in Lumpad.

‘If I dye the holy sword with mine.’

You will also get the lost swordsmanship.

You need to get the Holy Sword.

As long as you dye it your own color, you don’t even need to wear it.

Not a bad proposition.

and.

‘It must be difficult for her now.’

The location of the holy sword is stuck in the ‘dangerous forest’, also called the Devil’s View.

“Aren’t you afraid? The dangerous forest is…”

“Because it’s a place where you don’t know what time you’ll meet?”

Esther chuckled and laughed.

A dangerous forest is a place where time and space are at stake.

It’s a strange place where you don’t know what time of day you’ll meet a human or something non-human.

A dangerous place that is said to be a place that even gods cannot control.

It is a place full of possibilities.

Even corruption and dragons are reluctant to approach there.

“I rather hope. Because Sullivian also went there in the past.”

Esther had a strange longing.

The Sullivan of the past. He must be thinking that he might be able to meet him again there.

“I’m leaving in a month.”

“Why?”

Callius slowly rose from his chair.

“First of all, I have business to do in the principality.”
