Chapter 345: Crying wolf (4)

In fact, it wasn’t that I didn’t think about my final resistance, but everything happened so fast that I couldn’t even take any countermeasures.

It was very heartbreaking to see the guild members prepare for the expedition immediately after the meeting was over.

Of course, the tears were not from the guild members’ suffering. Instead, to be perfectly honest, I wanted the guild members who pushed me to the wall to suffer a little more.

I was hoping that the elves would refuse my trip to Eberia, but even that was ruined. On the elf’s side, they were welcoming us with open arms instead. I didn’t know if they really asked what our party wanted, but it would have been the best news for the elves who were worried about the welfare of Princess Elena.

Of course, the elf called Ludwig didn’t look very happy, but after Princess Elena’s fierce argument, the weak opposition had automatically become smashed.

It was no wonder that the Three Kingdoms Alliance also proceeded very smoothly. With the elves, Oscar and Pristina, who decided that they couldn’t be delayed for a day, moved quickly.

Even the country leaders were doing their best to put me into the pit of Eberia, so everything had gotten solved easily.

The speed at which the Holy Democracy State, the Kingdom of Laios, and the Kingdom of Eberia were hindering complicated documents was faster than my act of gathering energy for a change of posture. As a result, everyone was satisfied.

It was an alliance that was neither favorable nor disadvantageous to anyone.

[Success of the Three Kingdoms Alliance, the first step toward harmony between different races.]

[On the 26th, the alliance between the Holy Democracy State, the Kingdom of Laios, and the Kingdom of Eberia were concluded. Each country’s leader expressed great satisfaction that the alliance was formed much faster and more flexible than expected. In particular, the transformation of the Kingdom of Eberia, which had been exclusive to humans, surprised many. The declaration of the Three Kingdoms Alliance was read aloud at a convention held in the royal city of Laios, and a step into a new utopia amid the cheers of the people. “This is a small step, but it is a big step toward improving relations with the different races,” said Oscar, the State leader.]

[Since then, the Three Kingdoms Alliance condemned the Republic that was protecting the demon summoner Jin Qing and appealed to join them in the extinction of black magic on the continent. While everyone is paying attention to the Republic’s future movements, which are still sparing words, the Three Kingdoms Alliance plans to formally refer this matter to the Continental Court on the 29th. -Reporter Kim Seong-gyeong of the Lindel Daily]

‘Sh*t.’

It took less than a day for the documents to be stamped, and the article had come out.

The content was also very satisfactory, and I liked the plan to refer this matter to the Continental Court, but dissatisfaction arose naturally.

If they could have finished it so quickly, I would like to ask why they had been delaying so far. It could have been possible because each of the articles had gotten conceded by the State and Laios, but I couldn’t understand the elves who accepted it without any suspicion.

In a way, it could be seen as an advantage. It was no different than the fact that I had made the three kingdoms.

“It’s time to leave, Kiyoung-ssi.”

I wanted to take a little more time, but Kim Hyunsung didn’t even bother giving me a small margin.

“Let’s go together.”

“Yes. How are the preparations?”

“The preparations are perfect. The guild members were also in better condition than ever. They are very passionate, especially around Deokgu. He is already passionate, but this time he is more enthusiastic than usual.”

‘Park Deokgu, this bastard, is the worst.’

“You don’t have to worry too much. It won’t be a big deal.”

“Yes…”

It was such a sight to see him holding me up with one arm even though I could walk by myself.

Kim Hyunsung tried to give me strength as if he thought the reason I had no strength was that I was sick. I began to feel embarrassed.

‘I’m not sick. It was all lies.’

Even if I were to come and shout out now, no one would believe me. There seemed to be nothing in the mind of the lovely returner other than the idea of ??treating me.

As we keep moving, I could see people glancing at me.

Even though it was still early in the morning, rumors had already begun to spread.

It was news that the Blue Guild was leaving on an expedition to recover the body of the hero of light, Lee Kiyoung.

I didn’t know where the rumors had originated, but I thought it might be Park Deokgu with a high probability for some reason. As we moved a little further, the guild members, Elena, and other major figures from each country were visibly waiting in front of the royal castle’s gate.

Yuno Kasugano, who was chatting with Hee-ra, Lee Ji-hye, Oscar, and Pristina, was looking at this place from a distance.

It went without saying about the papal officials.

It looked like they had been waiting for me since dawn, but it was not easy to exchange greetings one by one. Cha Hee-ra, who seemed to be under the weather, looked at me, and patted my back, and Yuno Kasugano also lowered her head.

Although Oscar had said some words of blessings, it honestly didn’t get into my ears. The high priests of the State and others were also similar.

Of course, I tried not to lose my business smile, but I didn’t need to explain that a smile with bitterness, which was inherent, popped out.

In fact, it seemed as if that face suited better. Suddenly, I started to hear a sniffing sound from somewhere.

Lee Jihye seemed desperately holding on to laughter, but she was showing off her acting skills as she was shedding tears.

‘She’s really…’

I could bet on it.

If Elena were to see Lee Jihye, she might even vomit blood. It was a shame to be unable to do so.

In fact, I wanted to bring people who could help me a little more, but unfortunately, the situation was that only the Blue Guild members could go on the expedition.

Kim Hyunsung held back other people’s participation, and honestly, I agreed with that decision. It was because we needed people to take charge of the field before we ended our expedition in Eberia.

Anyway, the overall atmosphere was like a mourner’s house. However, they also seemed to have some hope. Incessant encouragement was poured out to Kim Hyunsung, who was in charge of this expedition, and the expedition opened the gates of the royal palace to take a step forward.

‘Oh, don’t do this. What kind of tear-jerker is this?’

A spectacular and magnificent sight came into view.

‘Please don’t do this. Don’t attack my conscience. You bastards. ‘

In fact, my conscience was fine. It was because I had seen the endless flow of Laios people before.

There was no crowd shout as it was a very solemn atmosphere.

Honestly, it would have been a pleasant sight if it were the usual, but I didn’t feel well for some reason. In fact, when I saw the gathering when I was passed out, I cheered, but the situation was the opposite compared to then.

Everyone waving their hands and cheering for me looked like the demons of hell, shouting that the time to be punished had come.

“It looks like they gathered more than last time? That’s great…”

“Yeah.”

“As expected from Hyung-nim.”

Park Deokgu, next to me, began to mutter, and Jung Hayan nodded. Kim Hyunsung was still sticking to my side as we walked.

Voices kept popping out from everywhere. At first, it was just a small voice, but the voices began to grow louder as time passed.

“B-Be strong.”

“Cheer up! I will pray.”

“Thank you. And I hope that you will come back to Laios in full form! I will pray every day for the Honorary Cardinal.”

“Thank you! Thank you so much!”

“Laios will not forget you. Please stop by again.”

“Don’t lose hope. Thanks to Lee Kiyoung, we didn’t lose hope. Please do not lose hope.

“You will be able to overcome it. If it’s Lee Kiyoung, you will surely overcome it!”

Honestly, it was spectacular. People were standing densely in all places except on the path our expedition were to pass by. Some screamed from the windows of the houses, and even people on the roof can be seen.

All they had in common were their tears.

The Laios’ guards seemed to have a hard time controlling the crowd, so there was no need to say anything else.

It was then that a little kid broke out of the line.

Instantly, the guards rushed to stop the kid, but in the meantime, the cursed brain of having to manage the image began to move first. When I quietly went to stop the guard, the little kid stepped over and gave me a letter and a bar of chocolate.

[Thank you, Champion of the Light. Thank you for saving my mom and dad, and for saving me, too. I heard that you’re hurt a lot. I hope to see you again in a healthy way. I will pray every day.]

It was crooked writing. The font sizes were also different, but from the kid’s point of view, there were signs of trying to write as straight as possible.

‘This is too much.’

Nevertheless, my wall of conscience did not collapse. I could see the cute hand clenching her fist and talking to me.

“Cheer up! Cheer up!”

“What is your name?”

“Leah, I’m Leah. You must stay healthy, warrior!”

“Thank you.”

I finished by nodding and patting her head once.

Although bitterness came up once again, Kim Hyunsung seemed to think that I was having a complicated idea. He turned his head slightly and smiled.

“I wanted to show you this scene.”

‘This was your work.’

“Everyone is hoping that Kiyoung’s body will be healthy as soon as possible. Look at them. There are so many people who support you.”

‘I can see it too, Hyunsung.’

“I will do my best, too. I hope that Kiyoung will not lose hope.”

‘I have never lost…’

“Be relieved, everyone! We will definitely return him to normal! Everyone rest assured! Ugh…”

“Please, Park Deokgu!”

“Trust me! I will definitely bring him back to my health! I will definitely save him!”

“You can overcome it! Lee Kiyoung!”

In the meantime, Park Deokgu screamed loudly, and cheers popped out again.

Park Deokgu couldn’t figure out why he was crying, but he kept raising the atmosphere. The greater the cheering, the more the guild members had a strange sense of duty.

‘Sh*t.’

“Let’s go, everyone.”

“Yes, Guild Master.”

Our group’s morale was strong.

Unlike the Blue Guild members, who constantly grew to adapt in whatever situation they were to face, anxiety was constantly blooming inside me, as much as the sound of cheering from afar.
