9th Circle Lord - 127 #127화 Triple Fish3
The appearance of the Anhesians was spectacular.
He was escorted by holy knights wearing dazzling armor in a golden carriage led by four dazzling white demons.
It was a composition suitable for the status of the high priest.
Zenon, a holy knight heading to Elmont, threw his tongue at the blazing sun.
“It’s really hot. It feels like I’m in lava.”
I thought it would be dry and hot because it was a desert, but it was humid and hot like a rain forest.
The perception of the Elmont region has reached its worst level because it seems to be suffocating.
When I put my tongue out in the heat, I saw an interesting appearance at almost my destination.
“That’s a strange sight.”
The wasteland that unfolds through the ridge is filled with crowds.
And the crowd gathered in front of the wall of Elmont.
The other saint, Riok, who was moving side by side with the strange impression of the saint, said.
“The rumor must be true.”
“Rumor?”
“Yes, Count Elmont, known as the Wizard of Miracles, closed the gates and received only a select number of people.”
“What on earth is the reason?”
“No one knows the exact facts. Rumor has it that it is to attract wealth by being immersed in evil magic.”
“The miracle wizard who cured the emperor has evil magic? It’s a floating cloud.”
“Maybe the rumors spread by the disgruntled.”
“When I meet the Earl, I’ll ask him myself.”
“Well, is he kind?”
Xenon was puzzled by Riok’s negative view.
“Kind? Doesn’t he have a good opinion of our Anes?”
“That’s not what I meant. Count Elmont is a noble lord, but he is not a wizard. Wizards and temples are not on good terms.”
“I didn’t think of that. But since he’s an aristocrat, he won’t be able to treat us recklessly.”
“That’s what I think. I’m sorry. I wish I had some information about him, but I don’t know anything about him.”
“That’s what it is.”
In a flurry of conversations, they began to approach the gates.
Those who eagerly looked to enter the gate pointed to the Annesian scriptures.
“It’s the Annesian Church!”
“What happened to the Anhesians in Elmont?”
Curious people gathered like clouds in the carriage of the Annesian Church.
Xenon shouted sternly.
“Everyone back off!”
One person asked like shouting.
“Who’s in the carriage?”
“It’s none of your business.”
“Why are you going to Elmont Castle?”
“I warned you to back off!”
The genitals are threatening.
But people were firm.
They are still wandering around the castle, undaunted by Luther’s threats.
Of course, they are not the ones who will blink at the threat of a holy knight.
“The Anhesians are entering Elmont Castle!”
“Then why don’t we let them in!”
People’s reactions quickly intensified.
Seeing the situation, they seemed to enter Elmont safely.
However, they are not allowed to enter and are still on the outside.
Of course, complaints are inevitable.
The crowd dared not protest at Elmont Castle.
The opponent is none other than the miracle wizard known as the eight circles.
I was afraid to live his wrath.
But Anes was different.
Among those who tried to enter Elmont was the Annesian.
They wanted Anes to speak for them.
So he began to cry.
“Let us in!”
“You’re the only ones who can’t go!”
The vocalists were embarrassed when the protests erupted.
It was not easy to defeat many of these people.
Confusion is about to arise.
Then, the carriage door opened and an old man appeared.
One person shouted at the old man’s appearance.
“The High Priest!”
“The High Priest of Anes!”
The one who appeared was the High Priest Lapid.
The high priest Rafid, who appeared with a kind smile, spoke.
“May the blessings of Anes be upon all.”
A magnificent voice rang everywhere.
People exclaimed.
“Oh! It’s an ambassador!”
“Your Highness, please listen to our request.”
Lapid asked, still holding a kind smile.
“What is it?”
“The Wizard of Miracles is not letting us in Elmont. Please let us in!”
“Please!”
“Please!”
Did desperate requests from begging people work?
The high priest nodded vigorously.
“I will meet and persuade the Wizard of Miracles in person.”
“Really!”
“Wow!”
“Long live the High Priest!”
“Hooray for the Anhesians!”
Lafid, the high priest who calmed down those who cried out for joy, asked for a way to clear the way, and the delighted crowd was happy and stepped back.
The expression of the High Priest Rafid, who entered the carriage with countless greetings, was strange.He asked the priests under his command.
“Why doesn’t Earl Elmont accept people?”
“We don’t know English, either.”
“It’s strange. Usually, if you’re a local lord, you wouldn’t know that the more people there are, the better.”
Tax increases when there are many people.
It’s a matter of course, so I try to attract people somehow.
But Elmont is exactly the opposite.
The High Priest Lapid was cynical.
“Well, it’s ridiculous to rule a territory with a shallow wizard.”
The priests responded to the blatant sarcasm.
“That’s what it is. How can a wizard manage a territory? Those selfish things.”
“I’m pretty sure they’re doing a vicious experiment as they say. We need to take care of ourselves.”
The carriage of the high priest and his party, who had been gossiping about the Count of Elmont, who had no face-to-face meetings, arrived in front of the gate.
Zach, who came back from the report, greeted him.
“Welcome to Elmont.”
He responded with a formal greeting and a stiff face.
“Thank you for accepting my visit.”
“Where is Earl Elmont?”
“I’m waiting. I’ll show you.”
Jacques took the lead and the carriage entered the castle.
As soon as the high priest and his party entered the carriage, they felt that the air had somehow changed.
And the feeling is not just a feeling.
“The sun is warm.”
Xenon looked up to the sky in Riok’s appreciation.
“That’s what it is. It’s like a sunny spring. The wind’s cool. It’s the difference between the castle and the sky.”
Outside the castle, there is no wind in the heat.
“Did the count do it?”
“I’ve never heard of an eight-circle wizard controlling the climate.”
“It’s different because you’re a miracle wizard.”
They tried to guess as much as they could about the current Earl of Elmont.
But the warm spring weather inside the castle caught their eye.
“What’s happening, what’s he doing?”
“Is there a festival?”
People are singing and dancing excitingly, with music playing everywhere.
Riok almost rubbed his eyes for a moment.
“I can’t believe it. What kind of sight is this?”
“It’s so different inside and outside of Elmont.”
I can’t stand the curiosity.
The two approached Jacques.
“Everyone looks excited. Something good must be going on.”
“Today is Triple Fish Festival.”
“Triple Fish?”
The two, who were puzzled by Jacques’ explanation, were puzzled by the name they had never heard of.
“What is it?”
“Fish.”
Jacques did not explain more than necessary.
His lord hates religion.
Therefore, he had no obligation to explain kindly because he came out for no reason.
“Is there a festival because of fish?”
The holy knights didn’t understand.
What the hell is that even a festival?
Jacques didn’t answer.
It just guides you to the place where Luther is.
The knights were displeased by Jacques’ silence, but they completely forgot the idea as they passed the boulevard.
“What is this smell?”
“That’s great.”
The genitals sniffed and rubbed the boat.
Just smelling makes my mouth water.
The scent of the triple fish permeated into the carriage.
I heard a voice in the carriage.
“Stop for a moment.”
The demonman put the brakes on the high priest’s demon.
The High Priest Lapid sniffed.
“Where the hell did this smell come from?”
The priests also blew their noses.
“It smells incredibly good.”
The High Priest Lapid was in full swing.
“See where this smells from.”
“Yes.”
The priest came out of the door.
He asked the guide, Jacques.
“The delicious smell is everywhere on the street, what the hell is this?”
“Triple Fish.”
“Triple Fish? What is it?”
“Fish.”
That’s all Zach explained.
The priest nailed it.
“The savory aroma keeps my saliva from drying up, so I really want to eat it.”
“Still, triple fish will be cooked in your place, so go eat.”
“Oh! Good to hear that.”
The encouraged priest came back into the carriage and told the situation.
The High Priest Lapid laughed satisfactorily.
“I don’t know what a triple fish is, but it smells amazing, so it must be a delicacy.”
“I hear people sing and dance because of this triple fish.”
“That’s quite right.”
The carriage moved smoothly to the tower in the city.
Xenon, who was looking around frantically, realized something.
“All the British are laughing. The Elmont estate must be well off.””People aren’t begging you to let them in from outside the castle for no reason.”
“Bad magic, it must have been a rumor of jealous people.”
“We must recruit the Earl of Elmont. The better he sets up his estate, the better it will be for our teaching.”
“You should.”
While the two men were making a pledge, the group arrived in front of the tower.
After getting off the wagon, the group passed the stairs and reached the Grand Hall in the center.
Zach pointed to the center of the Grand Hall.
“Please stand in the center.”
A saint who saw a large circle that looked like a discus asked.
“What is that?”
“Magazine of the movement to the Lord’s office.”
“Ho! Is that so?”
The high priest and his party exclaimed.
Moving magic is a precious magical group that travels in space using expensive mana stones.
The installation of such a high-end magic group was a great surprise.
Thinking that he would have a lot of money, he moved straight to Luther’s office as he moved through the advanced magic team.
Luther, who was sitting down, stood up and greeted the high priest.
“Everyone had a hard time getting here. Nice to meet you. I’m Earl Elmont.”
“Thank you for your hospitality. I’m the High Priest of Lafid, who serves the god of Arnes.”
Luthor’s eyes briefly rose and disappeared.
The High Priest Rafid, who made eye contact, looked closely at Luther and was puzzled.
He asked.
“Have we ever met before? You’re familiar.”
Luther pretended not to know.
“Well, it’s my first time seeing you.”
“I see. I must have misunderstood for a moment.”
Now Luther had a middle-aged look.
The High Priest Lapid had a face-to-face meeting with him, but he was quite different from Luther’s young appearance, so he did not think of it as overlapping with his days as a punitive priest.
‘I’m sure I was mistaken.’
The High Priest Lapid, who smiled humbly, secretly revealed his purpose.
“The city is beautiful and Young Jimin is healthy. But it’s a shame that there’s no temple around. If we have a temple, there will be wealth and wealth in Elmont, what do you think?”
Luther changed the subject instead of answering.
“Before that, let’s have a meal. Aren’t you hungry after a long journey?”
The High Priest Lapid smiled warmly.
“I waited anxiously for the demon.”
Finally, they eat triple fish that stimulated their sense of smell.
The High Priest and his companions left their business behind and moved with Luther to have a meal for now.
