Chapter 19 Those who seek destiny Chapter 19 Those who seek destiny (3) 4 Azell and Kairen were nearing their destination in only two weeks after leaving Duke Tarantos.
On the third day, he crossed the border between Rulain and the Kingdom of Dhahran, and on the fourth day he crossed the kingdom of Dhahran into the kingdom of Bijes, where the land was once called the Karzark march.
It would have been a bad joke if someone had heard about going across two countries in a week. But they were traveling about 300 kilometers a day on a straight line on the map.
And in the Bithes kingdom it slowed down a little. I knew the location of the Karzark Marquis, but I needed a prior investigation before that. I listened to stories of elderly people living there, visited aristocrats who collected collections, and visited historical books.
He did not disclose his identity honestly because he was unauthorized and crossed the border. But because he had a token of the knight, a proper lie was enough to be treated as an overnight guest to the nobility.
This process was led by Kairen. He was an expert in pretending to be a noble traveler who had concealed his identity and had traveled all over the continent.
Said Kairen.
"It will arrive by the afternoon."
The two who collected the information came to the village near the Karzark march. Although it did not flourish much near the ground called the mountain, it was enough to rest and eat at a proper bed.
"Yes, it is."
Azell said that as the Karzark march came closer, the number of words decreased. Kairen was unfamiliar with the Azell, but let him not be bothered.
The Karzark march was the land of snares for Azell. After finishing the Dragon Demon War, I was able to start a new life with a tired body … … .
Of course, it was also a short, fleeting dream. Dragon Demon King Atein had to leave the land in just two years because of the curse.
Still, Azell wanted to go to the land. I wanted to see if there were still memories that reminded him of his 220 years of sleep, and how the descendants who inherited his work would live.
“…….”The simple hope has already broken. There's nothing I can get if I go, but even so … I had to look directly into my eyes.
Azell looked at the direction in which he thought the Karzark marquis was silently speaking. The stories I have heard in my head have passed.
'Great darkness … … . '
Indeed, it is an event that is not missed, no matter what you are discussing in this age.
It is the end of the great darkness that the Karzark Era was destroyed. As the aftereffect of an infectious disease that took many lives took hold of Sage Baion, the Dragon, which had gone crazy, hit the land.
According to the records, thirteen dragons ran aggressively at the Karzark lunar eclipse. And along the way, a vast number of things gathered as if they had been taken.
Since hero Azell Karzark, the history of the Karzark march was famous for its strength. The level of the knights was high, and there were many excellent magicians, and the soldiers were well trained.
But even such people did not take measures before this situation. In the meantime, the Karzark march had collapsed and the mounds ran out of the way.
Fortunately, Dragon did not join the ranks. The Karzark march has reduced the number of crowded dragons by half in a really bloody battle, and the rest of the dragons did not come out of the Karzark march.
The Bithesian kingdom was devastated by the darkness, causing tremendous damage to the monsters. The elderly who told the story to Azell recalled that it was really a crisis that the kingdom was about to end.
In the end, however, they survived the crisis and legendary fortresses on the borders of the Karzark march, designated by Maekyung. As if the western border fortress of Rulain Kingdom … … .
5 Of course, the Karzark march is now a restricted area. On the side of the garrison, I was always on the border.
But Azell and Kairen avoided their eyes at all. This was not the case as both of them had no burden when they crossed the border.
Kairen muttered.
"It is not much different from when I came back. The fortress is gone. "
"When did you see him?"
"I do not think 30 years have passed. It was after the Dark Alliance led by Dakan was defeated. "
“……Hmm. I feel the gap in the years I've lived. "
So, Kairen was a history painter who had gone through the great dark days. At that time he would have been Duke Tarantos, and he knew how darkness shook society.
Azel asked as he walked in the Karzark Marquis. It was a question that asked me to pay attention because I was disturbed rather than curious.
"How was the darkness?"
"then… It was all really messed up. "
The epidemic that swept across the continent was truly ghastly. Until Sage Baion came up with a solution, nobody took any measures, so it was the only option to isolate it and wait for it to die.
"No one could escape that."
In front of the epidemic, Dragon Demon Race, Dragon Devil, famous Knights and Magician were helpless. Once everyone was infected, I had to wait for death.
"Of course Dragon Demon Race, Dragon Devil, or Knights are strong enough to resist the disease as hard as the body, but … … "
It was also a limit. After all, you are getting tired of your physical strength, and then you end up.
Rather, their existence was the reason for the further spread of the epidemic. The ability to resist the disease was high compared to the average person, so it took time to realize that he was sick, and he had met people without any warning and accelerated the transmission.
Kairen said this.
"In my memory, until then, the nose of the temple was really high. I would never believe it if I told you how humble the priests are now to me before the Great Darkness. "
Until then, the shrine had absolute authority. I was wondering how I could heal my injuries and wounds by using the divine knowledge and skills God has given me.
But in the great darkness, they were utterly incompetent and helpless. This is the reason why they want to count the number of priests in the denomination who have been contagious since they disobeyed that they would settle soon.
"So, there are those who blame the great darkness that God forgets the theme and the arrogance of the gods to humans who fall into arrogance. Often in the priests. "
"Somehow, I do not think people who said it in front of Duke would have gone back to buying it."
"I'll leave it to your imagination."
Kairen laughed and said, looking away.
"It was really terrible anyway. In retrospect, I can not believe that those days are over … … "
The man who laughed and laughed only until yesterday was caught dead by the illness the next day, and it was routine everyday to isolate many neighbors who liked him with a monster-like gaze. The humanity that believed that it existed in the disaster of the illiterate sickness was destroyed, and the ugly things which were omniscient were lined up.
Azell said.
“…It's like a war. "
During the Dragon Demon War, humans were tested for their nature. How long have all these people kept their minds and morals, as if they were on the edge, and there they were?
Kairen laughed.
"I think this is more than a war darkness was awful. Because there was no object to fight against the war. "
As the values that everyone believed collapsed into helplessness, the world fell into the darkness. Everyone fought desperately, but at the same time they did not know what to do and how to fight. To survive, no, I was just struggling to postpone the ruin.
Perhaps it was only one person who knew the "enemy" at that time and came to the fight.
"Baion only knew. You have to fight this illness itself. "
"Have you met yourself?"
"Not only that, but I also cooperated a lot in establishing medical associations. He sought co – operation in search of the mighty nobles. To do that, I need a lot politically and financially. "
"You did. Is he still alive? "
No. It will be dead. "
“Umm . . . Why are you homeborn? "
"Since I founded a medical association and it worked well, I was on the run. Politically, I did not want to suffer from this … … "
Baion was already middle age at the time of great darkness. If you are alive until now, you should be over 100 years old.
"Sure you are."
In conversation, the two men were keeping pace with the average person. Then, the scenery swiftly passes by, and finally the trail that a person lived in comes to the eye.
The ruins that once were towns were there.
Everything is thoroughly destroyed, and no perfect figure can be found. There were trees and grass growing up among buildings that burned and collapsed a long time ago.
Suddenly Azell muttered.
"DIGOR … Was it? "
“Umm . . . What are you talking about? "
"This is the name of the town."
Azell was caught up in an emotion that could not be said.
As a lord, the Karzark march is not very rare. But in the beginning, I got to know every corner while I was walking around the estates to become a lord.
Over the ruins, the old scenery overlaps and Azell's memories return to the distant past.
People who cheered when they saw themselves, children who ran wildly … … .
Digol is a village located at the end of the Gji and serving as a gateway to the Karzark march from another manor. The scale was quite large, and after the Dragon Demon War, the population grew rapidly as the population grew rapidly.
"You… … "
Kairen looked at Azell standing out of control and quit trying to say something. I could not say anything because I was seeing the horribly distorted Azell look.
It was Azell that broke the heavy silence.
"I just needed a target … … "
Things were showing up in the surroundings. They were Orcs with a big bull-wolf like a bull.
It is a matter of course. Is not this a land designated as a place, a land of monsters? So far, Azell and Kairen have been looking around and avoiding the sight of things.
"Cow, people are not afraid."
I heard a rough and rough pronunciation. One of the Orcs was talking to the two.
"Good."
When Azell's gaze turned to himself, the Orc, who spoke to me, was puzzled.
"I am asking you, but you are not approaching a moderate purpose of having a conversation with us?"
An indescribable anger burns in blue eyes. It was Orc who was named for his strength and fury, but the moment he saw his eyes froze.
Orc shouted at the sword.
Strike!
And since they have settled here, there has been a gruesome performance that I have never imagined.
