The Immortal Has a Guardian Spirit - Denpi

Chapter 23: The Last Disciple (1)

Eckhart said he had received a promise, and after giving the address of where he was staying, he obediently left.

While trying to get Diddy, who was left behind with the guards, inside, Diddy clung to Raven with a worried expression and had difficulty but everything was resolved with Raven, who showed her face. to everyone, saying he would take her in and tell others to leave them alone.

"See you later, Captain!"

Raven looked at the back of Eckhart as he went inside after proving his identity, then turned his head.

Now it was time to sort out the situation. He couldn't openly vomit blood in a place like this with so many people, so he didn't send the guardian spirit away, but instead focused my attention on the soldiers who had already gathered and were waiting quietly. Before they even flinched at the green light shining towards them, a soldier slowly approached.

"Are you done with your business?"

"Yes."

"We would like to express our deepest gratitude for closing the Gate and protecting our people. May I ask what your name is?"

"...Just call me Raven."

"Raven, that's a name I've never heard before. What is your nationality?"

"Doesn't exist."

"Oh, so..."

The soldier, with an expression of understanding, bows deeply, as if he had figured out the reason for his name not being known. Both expected and unexpected words poured out.

"Your status as Raven would be enough for the Empire. But before that, His Majesty, upon hearing the news, would like to invite a hero who protected his people to the Imperial Palace, so would it be all right if I could guide you?"

...He knew they were imperial soldiers, but they were sent directly by the emperor.

Of course, it's not that he doesn't understand at all because an unknown and outstanding talent has appeared.

... It's disturbing that the timing is so coincidental.

'They came right after I closed the gate.'

Although the distance from the imperial palace to this place must have been quite long, they arrived almost as soon as the people who appeared to be in charge of the gate. Since they come similar to those who will be on standby at all times, doesn't it seem as if they knew in advance and set off?

Moreover, he didn't even ask if he had heard anything or the name of the guardian spirit proudly standing next to him. The guardian spirit who slaughtered monsters outside the gate must also be a coveted talent.

Rather, they are treated as non-existent people or accessories.

'As expected, it's suspicious.'

The more explicit it is, the more suspicious it is.

Normally he would have gone there out of curiosity, but this time he felt strangely uncomfortable.

Raven, who was trying to hide his nervousness and pretended to be thinking, gestured with his chin to Didi in his arms.

"It's an honor, but I have work to do. I have a promise with her."

"Oh, I'm fine!"

"..."

"I can't be an obstacle to you, Raven!"

He always asked him why he was annoying him because he was clever, and why he was like this all of a sudden. In the meantime, the imperial soldier who was observing the situation suddenly received a comment.
