Chapter 351: 351
“Is that the Melvin Valley?”
Luke stared at the valley that was in front of him .
The mist-filled valley was dark and unpleasant .
If Luke hadn’t decided to wipe out the Fairy Representatives, he would have never found out about that place .
“Master, was this place of the promised meet?”
“Yeah, the sneaky bastards are stuck in place, which is perfect for my body . ”
At the response to Hwang Bo-sung’s question, Luke answered .
Luke had brought in the assassins led by Henry and Hwang Bo-sung as his escorts .
As his meet was a secret, he couldn’t bring in his general escorts .
Philip and the two demons were made aware of the secret and the situation . However, they were busy at the manor, so they couldn’t be asked to accompany Luke .
And honestly, the current number of men with Luke was enough to bring down the fairies .
‘If I bring out my dark magic and demonic power, no number of fairies can beat me . ’
Luke had brought the escorts, not for his protection, but to prevent the fairies from running away .
It wasn’t a problem if they ran away, but if they chose to hide and keep spreading the rumors about Luke, then it would turn into a problem .
Henry appeared in front of Luke .
He had arrived ahead of Luke and gathered information about their surroundings .
“Have you learned anything about Melvin Valley and the fairies?”
“Yes, people say there is a Dark Forest in the valley . That the evil spirits are alive in there and not to look in that direction, but recently, hundreds of fairies had entered there . ”
“A forest with evil spirits…”
“If someone goes in, they either die or go crazy . I wonder if there was a warlock or a demon curse placed on it?”
Henry said, looking at Luke’s face .
It was because Henry thought that Luke might know since he has a demon slave .
However, Luke didn’t respond .
It was because it wasn’t just two or three forests or valley on the continents that were rumored to be homes for evil spirits or ghosts .
There were so many of such rumors around .
For the nobles to hide their gold and treasures, they would chose a forest and hide their money and make up such rumors to stop people from going in and finding their money .
The humans were placed in there and asked to dress up as monsters such as trolls or bandits to scare away the humans .
“If there really was such a curse over there, all those fairies in there would have been dead or gone insane . ”
“Yes, I know the story isn’t so reliable, but that is the only side of the story I could gather . ”
“The current Volga Republic president, Vladimir, was hiding in the Melvin Valley during the Republican revolution . The Volga knights were dispatched to find the man and catch him . However, the troops, which went into the Dark Forest, never came back . ”
It wasn’t just that, the royal wizard and the strongest knights also disappeared .
“Kamarov and Kawin—the knight and the royal wizard of the royal family—were very skilled . It was after they had disappeared that the chart had leaned over for the revolution’s side,” said Henry .
“Hmm, I guess there was a trap placed at that time . ”
The head of their troops was used as a bait and the troops had prepared a trap in advance .
“I looked around before lord came, and there are dark elves on every street . ”
Henry had given up on trying to get inside the Dark Forest .
Normally, he was cautious, but the borders of the forest were guarded by dark elves who were known for their senses .
“Master, what are you going to do? Would you still go ahead?” Asked Hwang Bo-sung, who listened to the story .
Luke was feeling troubled .
He had ignored the rumors about the forest but was worried that the Volga guards had gone missing .
In addition, the dark and unpleasant energy he was sensing from the valley was annoying .
“We will enter for now . If there are any problems, we can get out of there . ”
Luke handed out the scrolls he had prepared in advance in case of an emergency .
With utmost care, they all headed to Melvin Valley .
Soon after, Luke’s party had arrived at the entrance of Melvin Valley .
Luke walked into the forest that was filled with mist .
He sensed an insignificant energy ahead of them .
Hwang Bo-sung, who had realized the change, hurried to Luke’s side to protect him .
“Lord! Be careful . This one seems very skilled . ”
“It is fine . It is someone I know . ”
Luke, who assured Hwang Bo-sung, went ahead .
And the person who was lurking in the front began to emerge .
“What are you doing in this place, Arch Duke?”
“I’m the one who’s supposed to be asking you that . Why are you here?”
The person who appeared there was Arch Duke Gregory of the Holy Empire .
He was leading 11 knights . 2 of them were Sword Masters and the rest were top-level experts .
The power that could be sensed from them was like an iron wall with no holes . It was like a divine group .
“The fairy wizard called Nanas said that she would reveal the secrets of the others . ”
“So you too received a letter?”
At the question from Luke, Arch Duke Gregory frowned .
“Did Nanas send an intimidating letter to you, too?” Asked Luke .
“She said that if you don’t come to this place, I will be revealing the true identity of the pope . ”
According to Gregory, rumors surrounding Reina were circulating around Bless before the letter had reached them .
“There was a rumor saying that the pope was not an angel nor a princess of another nation . It was quite on point . The reality about her would be spread all over . ”
Gregory knew that Reina wasn’t an angel and that she appeared in the Holy Empire as an unexpected accident .
However, since he believed that she was God’s servant, his loyalty had never faded .
The problem was that the rumor could be politically used by those who were dissatisfied with Reina .
“If the rumors intensify, people will ask for the pope to testify . ”
‘Why wasn’t this reported to me?!’
Luke wanted to ask that, but Argos must have already known .
However, because of his keen interest in the Baroque Empire and his role in its current civil war, he was pushed to the background .
And there was a report that came in when Luke was about to leave for Melvin Valley, but he chose not to listen to it .
“Well, a letter came in in the midst of it all . It said that the concrete evidence would spread if I didn’t come here,” said Gregory, staring at Luke .
“You too got a letter from Nanas saying something about some concrete evidence about you . The Holy Pope’s actual fiancée . ”
“Right . Just before leaving the Holy Empire, I received another report . A strange rumor from the Baroque Empire . ”
Gregory, who said that, stared at Henry and Hydra .
They were still overwhelmed with the presence of Arch Duke Gregory, who was like a life-sucking monster .
Luke, who was nervously thinking about the situation, sensed something again .
Another popular person had made an appearance that piqued the interest of Luke and Gregory .
Dark elf warriors made their appearance .
“You have come . Elder Nanas is waiting for you . ”
The dark elf, who came out, was Hyrun .
He was acting stiffer than before and soon turned his back .
“Well, anyway, we’ll talk about the rumor later . ”
Arch Duke Gregory followed Hyrun .
Luke, who followed the man, sighed .
He came all the way here to calm the rumors down, but it didn’t seem like he could end the fairy representatives anymore .
‘Did they see through everything and called us both?’
He had an ominous feeling that he would be fighting against Gregory .
