Chapter 142
As soon as Deborah’s words ended, the dining hall was turned upside down.
The opinion of Deborah was quite persuasive and if her hypothesis is correct, there could be a major loss of lives near the Euclid temple soon.
“The cracks are under the ground……! Certainly, there is no law that it only occurs in the air.”
“Then, we shouldn’t let our hands off this matter right?”
“Even if it is not, there is nothing bad in preparing for the worst-case scenario.”
Duke Seymour stared at his daughter with amazement and said in a serious voice.
But if they want to prepare for it, they have to move quickly. There were many people staying at the lodging near the temple because of the pilgrimage.
“I don’t think this is the time to enjoy dinner leisurely, so I will go first.”
Starting with Belreck, relatives of similar age as him also left their seats.
It is an emergency situation, but if you think about it again, it was also a great opportunity to make a contribution to the capital. It's just according to the birthplace.
“Belreck, I'll give you the right as the Tower proxy, so bring some people to support the rear. I will move through the gate and confirm the movement near the temple again.”
“We will also follow you.”
The Duke of Seymour and his guards alone were enough to annihilate the imperial knights, but even the head of indirect families will also participate.
“I’m going to go.”
In the midst of a mess, the Duke lightly grasped Deborah's shoulder while she was deep in thought.
“I’m also going with you.”
When she said something unexpected, attention poured on her again. They were deeply flustered this time.
'What is she saying now? It’s dangerous.’
Even Belreck, who was going out in good spirits, stopped walking.
“Deborah, there may be battles, so it is dangerous to follow along.”
“Honestly speaking, you might also get in the way…….”
The magician on the relative’s side is giving some advice, so Deborah summoned a huge holy spirit out of the blue.
When the white turtle with a mysterious atmosphere appeared on the table, they were astonished.
“Isn’t that holy spirit?”
“It looks like a holy spirit that comes under the spirit of light as……”
The spirits of the light and dark were not summoned for several generations in the Montes family, so they paid more attention.
“Deborah, where did you get such a valuable holy spirit?”
“That’s amazing.”
In the midst of admiration, she made the turtle change in the form of a tattoo again.
“As you can see, I didn't mean to go out and fight. I'm not a fool and even I know that I'm not helpful in the battles there.”
“Then, are you using that holy spirit?”
“This is a holy spirit that is sensitive to the power of darkness. If the monsters are hiding under the ground, this holy spirit could detect them.”
A few of them were in admiration.
She even came up with the most convincing hypothesis and suggested the best solution to reduce the damage.
The eyes of the relatives, who had completely ignored Deborah before, changed completely.
They didn’t know what happened to her in the meantime, but she looked like the true bloodline of Seymour that they are proud of.
“Deborah. If you feel like you’re in danger, you must return immediately by ripping the teleportation scroll at any time. Understand?”
Duke Seymour looked at the faces of the enchanted indirect lines, then he led the way while giving a small tip to Deborah.

Last night.
The moment the cloudy moon disappeared under the dark clouds and deep darkness swallowed the world, the core of the earth vibrated and long snake-shaped monsters broke through the ground and soared up the sky like a calamity.
However, the magicians figured out the approximate location of the monsters thanks to Deborah’s holy spirit and stood on guard immediately.
Fire Rain.
Overcast in darkness, the sky flashed like firecrackers and fireworks, as if they were shooting stars, began to shoot the monsters immediately as if greeting them.
The common people, who had evacuated over the ridge, were all amazed by the overwhelming sight created by the magicians.
Shriek!
“The 2nd Battalion is casting defense magic right now!”
Rosad, who arrived the earliest and quickly braced up for the attack, commanded the battle magicians.
Then, a huge wind barrier was formed around the temple as the typhoon stormed violently.
The artifact shoots attack magic while the magicians were on guard
The battle was very fierce because the monsters rebelled strongly while spluttering poisonous bodily fluids with their thick skin.
At last, the monsters surrendered to the high-level magic that was attacked endlessly, and the news of the magicians’ achievements spread in the Empire as soon as the day came.
“What is the scale of the damage?”
The Crown Prince, who was meditating ahead of the incense ceremony, asked while raising his eyelids slowly.
“The spire roof of the Euclid temple was melted by the monster’s poison, but fortunately there seems to be no loss of lives.”
“Are you saying not a single person was injured even though they were poisonous monsters?”
"Yes. Your Majesty. Since Duke Seymour took part in the battle, there were no injuries.”
‘But it’s still a little strange.'
That everyone rushed to fix it as if fixing a cow barn.
The crack occurred so suddenly, but everyone rushed in to handle it like they were hurrying to lock the stable’s doors before the horse would bolt out.
‘What did the Tower do to stop the crack this quickly and perfectly?’
The Crown Prince rubbed his chin roughly while frowning
"I want to hear the situation in specific details, so call the magicians who participated in the battle."
"Yes. Your Majesty."
After a while, a magician, who was dispatched for battle last night, was called to meet the Crown Prince.
“Explain what happened yesterday in detail. I heard there were a lot of battle magicians, so how did Rosad stop the attack?”
“The Seymour twins were great, but technically speaking, we could prevent greater damage thanks to Deborah. She was the main contributor in the battle yesterday.”
“Deborah couldn’t handle mana at all, so how did she?”
The magician began to tell everything in detail of what had happened last night to the puzzled Crown Prince.
This crack occurred under the ground and not in the air, so they were able to prepare for the monsters’ attack because of Deborah’s guess.
Besides, the approximate location of the monsters hidden underground was located using Deborah’s holy spirit, which was sensitive to darkness.
“That’s amazing. It's an unexpected situation, but you responded to it perfectly. You didn't even have that much time.”
The Crown Prince muttered in admiration without realizing it.
He was told that she is a great person from Isidor and his sister’s word of mouth, but honestly speaking, he couldn’t really believe them because she is an outsider to magic and mana. So he was greatly surprised by this matter.
“The timing was so good as the demons appeared after the residents of the entire area of Yukri had evacuated. Thanks to the large number of high-class magicians, the monster, which was believed to be the head, was suppressed in about two hours.”
However, there was a problem.
As the monsters died, the unlaid eggs in their stomach were let out on the ground and the lower-grade eggs would try to invade the villages after they hatched.
However, Deborah, who was at the rear, made a light defensive wall using the holy spirit, so the herd of young monsters died without even being close to the villages.
The monsters were hiding under the ground until late at night, so they were very weak to light.
The magicians, who saw the young monsters falling helplessly upon exposure to the light, cast magic continuously by combining wide domain and lighting magic. So the situation was handled quickly.
“The people in the Yukri temple area cheered for Deborah all night, as if her appearance of handling the white holy spirit is mysterious. I was also surprised to see the huge dome-shaped defense wall.”
The voice of the magician contained excitement that could not be hidden.
Thanks to her, the catastrophe was prevented and the reputation of the tower was able to be raised even further.
“I never thought she could deal with a holy spirit. She has a lot of hidden talents. Honestly, I am amazed.”
“I did not know that Deborah would appear on the battlefield herself, so I had to look twice. I thought she was Seymour for sure. All of the magicians there would probably have the same thought as me that she is awesome.”
It seemed that the magicians had already fallen for Deborah.
Deborah was secretly popular among battle magicians because of her formula, but this incident has strengthened her position more.
"I see. Good work for participating in the battle, You can go back.”
When the conversation with the magician was over, the Crown Prince went into his meditation again while sitting cross-legged.
‘Deborah…….’
He could say it was a relief that the magicians managed to prevent the crack well.
The people are still anxious because of the crack, so if the Yukri temple and its surrounding suffered major damage, the atmosphere would have been more agitated.
The Crown Prince wanted to successfully complete this incense ceremony that his father entrusted to him.
'How should I respond to this incident?'
He was deep in thought, and then he suddenly came up with a good idea.
Originally, the Crown Prince tried to make the incense ceremony stand out by using Philaf’s spirit in the shape of the firebird.
'But Philaf has done something foolish, so his feet are tied from going outside.'
Even in the middle of that, Deborah saved the lives of the people by using the white holy spirit while being mysterious.
'There will be a greater scene than a firebird.'
He picked up a quill pen and wrote a letter in a hurry.
He didn't have time.
Since the event is tomorrow, the Crown Prince called for the servant immediately to take the letter and deliver it to Seymour’s Townhouse.
* * *
On the day of the incense ceremony.
I was dressed up by the servant while feeling worn out.
Even though I stopped the monster from the crack, I still didn't feel well.
Maybe it's because of the restless dream.
No matter how much tea I drank that was effective for sleep, the strange dreams still showed no signs of stopping.
'Maybe I’m just tired because I stayed up the night before.'
The night of the crack. I was looking at the magic on the ridge near the Euclid Temple and I was frightened by the invasion of the black young monsters, so I made a defensive wall by using Purple.
‘I never thought Purple would be that strong.’
The defensive wall is supposed to be made big enough to protect one body, but Purple made a huge dome that even covered all of the hills.
‘Well, since you ate so many expensive Magic Stones, you must have a lot of mana....…’
Anyway, the people around me suddenly looked at me as a hero because of the defensive wall I made.
‘Things became out of hand again.’
I don't know how the rumors went around, but the Crown Prince suddenly made an unexpected request to me.
