「Knight ‘Lydon’ ’s favorability increased by 3.」

「Current favorability: 50/100」

As if the ridiculous increase in his favorability proved that Lydon was unharmed, Cadel surreptitiously patted his chest from beneath his bowed head.

“Don't put your filthy lips on Commander.”

“It’s a fairy's blessing?”

“Don't be ridiculous.”

“Does Van want one, too? Here, give me your head.”

“Get lost.”

Cadel remained calm between Van who was sulking and Lydon who was laughing heartily.

‘I've found Lydon, which is the top priority, now all that's left is to slay Ergo.’

「Time remaining 10 : 05 : 47」

10 hours.

Ergo was obviously hiding somewhere in the village. Cadel was surprised he was not with Lydon, but it would be hard to pass the time with a vicious, finger-biting fairy. He must have left Lydon here to find a nearby hiding place.

It didn't take long to search a small village. The question was how to kill Ergo.

“Sir Lumen! Are you all right?”

“I’m fine.”

“Knight Order! Spread the barrier!”

Lumen's eyes widened as he threw off his burning chest armor.

‘So that was the one.’

While searching the third house, they felt a vibration underground. Sensing it, Lumen immediately tried to fight it off, but several of the knights searching with him were slow to move. In exchange for shoving them away, Lumen was covered in some of the mucus that had risen from the underground.
