The Great Mage who transcends by returning, Episode 173
“…I beg your pardon?”
Ariandel tilted his head, unable to hide his bewildered expression.
“Has Archbishop Cillian gone beyond the sky?”
“yes.”
“why?”
“As it turned out, it was encroached upon by demons.”
At those words, Ariandel opened his mouth in a daze. The problem is that this wasn’t the end of the situation she couldn’t understand.
“You mean Siegfried was eliminated from the selection of heroes? You’re flirting.”
“Yes that’s right.”
“But why? Wasn’t he originally the most powerful?”
“The current warrior is so outstanding that he was pushed out.”
“hmm.”
This is also an amazing fact.
To think that Siegfried, who was almost like becoming a hero, would be eliminated without becoming a hero.
“Then why is Kyoguk still so fine? It was shit until I started training.”
“That’s also thanks to the current hero overturning everything… ….”
“Then why is Hekau….”
“Ah, that’s the current hero… ….”
The questions and answers continued in this way.
After the long question and answer, Ariandel scratched his head.
‘what.’
Something changed so unexpectedly.
It’s definitely not what I thought at first… ….
Something is a bit out of the way.
And because of that, I came out with the determination to fight, but the scenery I saw right away was more peaceful than I thought.
“Uh something…It’s a bit different from what I think. When did the kingdom become so peaceful?”
“…No, it should be peaceful.”
“That’s right, but what should I say about this? Still, there seems to be one guy like X, isn’t there?”
“Uh um that….”
All those X’s are dead.
Archbishop Narun struggled to swallow the words.
I don’t know where on earth I learned it, but the saintess has a bad mouth.
There was no need to awaken the saintess’ violent nature with useless words.
“…doesn’t exist. It’s a church country.”
“That’s right.”
Ariandel said that and widened her eyes.
“…ah.”
Then he put his hand to his mouth and said to the archbishop.
“That me…Did you have a bad mouth?”
“her…Huh, that’s fine.”
Archbishop Narun answered the saintess’s words with her mouth open.
Why? this familiarity… ….
This strange feeling that reminds me of someone.
The archbishop pondered for a moment who might have had a similar feeling….
‘Hero?’
A simple conclusion has been reached.
Yeah, thinking about it, I feel similar to that hero.
Needless to say, my own pace and that mouth… ….
Its mouth, which seems to float even if thrown into water, is very similar.
After that, she asked the Archbishop a few more questions, but the answer was still the same.
that it has been resolved.
And the one who solved it was the hero of this generation, Mikhail Walpurgis.
‘…It’s Walpurgis.’
No matter how dark she is, she knows the family called ‘Walpurgis’.
Isn’t it the greatest family in the empire and the world’s greatest magic family? Of course, Mikhail must also be a wizard.
‘Well, it’s not clear, but there’s a story that the first hero is also a wizard… ….’
There’s nothing a wizard can’t be a hero.
Even if it’s a bit surprising.
Thinking so, she went straight to the point.
“Then what about Casa?”
“Ah, if you are a prophet….”
At that moment, Archbishop Narun’s face darkened greatly.
At the same time, Ariandel’s heart also became uneasy.
Prophet Cassandra.
She is a precious family member to Ariandel, like a younger sister.
As a saintess, when she entered the long closed-door training, she was so worried about that child.
“Please don’t… …Is there something wrong with Casa?”
“No, rather the opposite.”
Archbishop Narun said with a wry smile.
“…You recently bought a potion. There should usually be a lot of work.”
“yes?”
At least, the story about Cassandra, which he was most worried about, came out well, so she was rather embarrassed.
‘Have you solved all of this?’
The problems she mentioned were festering before she started practicing.
It wasn’t even a day or two, so I gave up on solving everything in my heart.
But did you solve it all?
Isn’t Mikhail Walpurgis even the son of Walpurgis, who had nothing to do with the church before then?
‘Interesting?’
Exactly what kind of warrior this hero is and what he plans to do.
I started to get interested.
She asked Archbishop Narun with her eyes shining.
“Can you explain in detail about the archbishop and the hero?”
* * *
Ariandel.
I remember all the Argo colleagues who were with me.
King Lian Jihad Siegfried and Ariandel… ….
In any case, they were precious connections.
Some might wonder why Siegfried is involved here, but still… ….
Anyway, it’s a colleague.
It would be perfectly reasonable for me to criticize him, but he was a colleague who crossed the line with us anyway.
…Whatever.
Ariandel was a rather special class among them.
Silver eyes that exude a sense of nobleness and sacredness.
On top of that, her waist-length silver hair always glows softly under the sun.
Without a single wound, she was a very foreign being on the battlefield.
Yes, her appearance deserves to be said to be more like a saint than anyone else’s.
yes looks.
– Mikhail, we lost.
– You kill Mikhail Siegfried? Siegfried is my enemy.
– Hit those fucking things!
…The problem is that everything except that is very far from the image of a normal saintess.
It’s not once or twice that I sighed as I watched the devil turn his eyes away and run at him while holding a mace.
The number of demons whose heads were broken by her mace is over a thousand… ….
‘Thinking about it, our expedition was strange in many ways.’
Isn’t it normal for a saint to stand in the rear to restore and encourage allies?
But she wasn’t.
He also healed allies, but he enjoyed breaking the devil’s head more than that.
It was normal for all sorts of swear words to come out of my mouth if I made a mistake, and I was also hot-tempered.
Anyway, yes, it was heterogeneous.
It’s a strange word at the same time… ….
‘In a sense, she was like a saint.’
Only the direction was different, she kept her allies and overthrew her enemies.
Even so, the role of support was not neglected.
was a good colleague
okay.
– Thank you so much for being with us until now.
…He was a good friend until the end.
Recalling the memory of that day, I smiled bitterly.
What I felt when she sacrificed herself by throwing herself into the Demon God’s army… ….
“…Let’s stop.”
I shook my head and stopped thinking. What are you trying to recall as a good memory?
The future is already gone.
If I pay attention to it, it will only eat away at my own mind.
Thinking so, I raised my head.
Before I knew it, a huge structure was standing in front of me.
A temple that only feels grand.
At the entrance, a stone statue of Hecau was reverently watching over the visitors who came in and out of the entrance.
“This is the sanctuary.”
Eileen looked around curiously and said.
“It is magnificent. I thought the sanctuary outside the church was halfway in size… ….”
“Well, there is no saying that you have to be shabby because you are not in the church.”
As a sanctuary, there must be a reason why it is a target of pilgrimage.
Even if you look around right now, it is full of devotees heading to the temple with a reverent expression.
It’s obvious, but I’m currently dressed up as a hero so as not to be caught. Same goes for other couples.
It’s annoying to find out that you’re a hero in a place like this.
“So what we need to find this time is the Fountain of Plenty? What is that?”
“yes.”
The fountain of abundance is like a mirage.
They can appear anywhere and disappear quickly.
I didn’t say it was difficult to get the ingredients for nothing.
According to my father, it was only a week ago that the Fountain of Plenty was observed in this sanctuary.
Even that disappeared in an instant, but there is a good chance that the fountain of abundance exists somewhere here.
Once a fountain of abundance appears, it hovers around it for a while.
It’s hard to find, but once it appears, it’s possible to specify an approximate location.
“For now, let’s go to the Archbishop in charge here. You can hear the details from there.”
Since it is a sanctuary, the person in charge of this place is also the archbishop.
In addition, I remember him as someone who had a fairly strong voice even among archbishops.
Shall we say that he has as much influence as Archbishop Alei, who is in charge of the imperial capital?
Come to think of it, did I mention that the first place I heard after Ariandel came out was here?
‘Maybe he’ll come this way first.’
Of course, there will be nothing to run into or do right away.
But since I finished training, I’ll be able to run into it somehow… ….
“I don’t know how it will be this time.”
[What are you talking about all of a sudden?]
“…There is just such a thing.”
i saw a couple
In the case of the butler, he showed longing for coming to the sanctuary after a long time, and the other two were just looking at the scenery of the sanctuary as if possessed.
Well, I don’t know about the butler, but the two of them must have been to this sanctuary for the first time.
At first, the sight will overwhelm you.
Devotees praying silently at the stone statue of Hekau, or those kneeling in front of the sacred relics….
The landscape was very diverse.
People were also very crowded.
The scenery as it was in my memory a long time ago.
Heading to the temple at the top where the archbishop will be, reminiscing old memories… …
“No wait.”
…I couldn’t fully recall.
“What is that?”
I frowned and opened my mouth at the scenery in front of me.
People gathered in one place and were shouting frantically.
“Here is me alone!”
“Give me five bottles!”
corner of the temple.
There were a lot of people in the outskirts so you wouldn’t know if you didn’t look closely.
The atmosphere is like what should I say… ….
‘Auction house?’
yeah it looked like that
“This is so….”
The butler also frowned.
“No matter how out of the sanctuary, I don’t know why they make such a fuss.”
“I know.”
Normally, of course, a priest or paladin had to come forward to correct the chaos.
But for some reason, no one is trying to sort out the fuss.
I don’t know if it’s because I’m just doing that in the corner.
But then.
“Come on, calm down.”
Among the crowd of people, a man walked out with a relaxed expression.
A weak smile in thin eyes.
It was a person who felt like a fox.
He looked at the people around him with his hands behind his back.
“I didn’t expect there to be many people who wanted a leap like this…Whoops.”
“I’ve been waiting for days! Take that leap now… …!”
“Yes, don’t worry. An elixir imbued with divine grace. Of course, I also intend to give to you according to His will.”
I don’t know what it is, but people’s eyes widened at the thought of receiving that ‘elixir’.
“Suspicious….”
It was when Rian frowned and put on an expression of disapproval.
A nearby believer sneaked up to me and asked.
“Are you here for the first time?”
“Yes that’s right.”
“Hmm, then maybe you don’t know.”
Shinto explained.
“Something has happened, but even if they look like merchants, they are recognized by the Archbishop.”
“You mean them?”
“yes. This ‘elixir’ is not just a drug dealer, but it shows something really plausible… ….”
“You mean that?”
“exactly.”
He nodded and continued.
“Really, if you drink the elixir, it will show you something. Of course, you have to shout a mysterious word.”
“Tell me in detail.”
“So the order is….”
At that moment, Shindo shouted something into the air.
“Status window!”
“….”
Of course, surprisingly, nothing happened.
no what the hell
