Volume 3 Chapter 2 ACT.38 Two People in a Pair (I)
A mighty eagle soars high, casting a tiny shadow on the ground as it rises with the sun at its back.
Stepping over that shadow, 2 horses arrived at the large gate.
"Hm, who goes there──"
The gate──the checkpoint──was manned by 2 guards, one of whom approached the sudden arrivals.
Each horse was ridden by a man deeply cloaked in a hooded coat.
"Sorry, but by the Holy Church's orders, this place is currently closed."
The young guard, who seemed to apologize, had a face that would be liked by the youth.
But his attitude changed in an instant as the two on horseback flipped the edges of their cloaks.
Revealed beneath was knight armor as deep as the night sky, adorned with the Holy Cross.
Only 8 individuals in this world were permitted to wear such armor.
"May we pass?"
The voice from under the hood was surprisingly young.
In response to the voice, so young it could be mistaken for weakness, the guard straightened up as if struck by lightning.
"Y-you're a Purge Knight! P-please, go right ahead!"
The young guard's shout, driven by tension, startled the other guard nearby, who also straightened his spine in surprise.
"Thank you."
With those words of gratitude, the knight with the youthful voice spurred his horse forward, the other following suit.
Watching them ride off, the young guard approached his partner, still buzzing with excitement, and started talking.
"Dude, that was a Purge Knight! One of the 8 strongest knights in the country! Can you believe we met one!"
He was thrilled to have exchanged words with a Purge Knight, a title that signified the ultimate strength.
His partner guard looked slightly exasperated by his reaction.
But it was understandable.
Normally, Purge Knights wore bulky helms and never revealed their true faces in public.
However, from a distance, it seemed they were without their helms, probably to relieve themselves during the long ride.
The younger guard must have caught a glimpse of their true faces.
"So, what did the Purge Knight look like?"
The guard standing at the gate asked, and the young guard replied.
"The one who spoke directly seemed younger than me, and the other was a man of my age."
──Two Purge Knights were tasked with running down this road to a certain town.
One was Rai Conwell, a knight of the "top" rank.
He was a young Holy Knight, appointed as the youngest in history.
And the name of his partner this time was Noah Lowe.
He was a Purge Knight ranked 7th, known for being a slacker, frivolous, and unlike a Holy Knight, also known as the "best fit" knight.
Their destination was a town ruled by Earl Eltor.
There was a strong suspicion from the Holy Church.
