Chapter 176. Unhyo artisan Mabel 2021.10.09.
“Are you surprised? Don’t worry, Prince Javier. The lady is all right.”
Casey smiled broadly and patted Enrique on the shoulder. Enrique looked at Mabel, who was lying on Aidan’s knee with a bewildered face.
“What is this situation? Could you please explain, wizard?”
“Well, if the lady left here with you, that means you can tell me. In the world, it is known that the lady’s ability is only the power of healing, but in fact, she has other abilities.”
“If it’s another ability…?”
“yes. It is the ability to assimilate with the animal’s senses. While using that ability, like that-.”
Casey glanced at Mabel and smiled.
“You are defenseless.”
defenseless. Even so, being able to use your abilities with confidence means that you trust the person next to you that much.
“The lady seems to trust Prince Javier.”
“…okay.”
Enrique looked at Mabel, whose eyes were closed as if asleep. He should be happy that he trusted him, but instead, Aidan caught his eye. I shouldn’t have done that, but it was annoying.
‘Was I such a petty person?’
Enrique discovered a side of himself that he had never known before.
***
The first animal assimilated was an eagle gliding across the vast sky. The sudden feeling of falling to the ground made me feel dizzy, but I gradually got used to it by sharing the feeling with the eagle for a while. The land seen from the sky looked really peaceful. Far from the capital, the undeveloped foothills were quiet and quiet. Streams flowed here and there, and wild animals played happily. With the sharp gaze of an eagle, I could see the creatures on the ground moving.
‘Looking at the map, the plague had spread to that village.’
It was at that time that I thought I should take a look around.
‘What?’
Out of nowhere, the eagle broke my control and started descending like a shotgun.
‘Wait wait wait wait-!’
I doubted my eyes. At the very point where the eagle descended, it was none other than… a prick-eared rabbit.
‘I can’t hunt now!’
Either way, the eagle shot fiercely at the hare.
‘Quaaaaaagh!’
Right before the eagle’s sharp claws snatched the rabbit, I managed to control it.
‘Doksul, let’s eat later, huh?’
I almost shared the feeling of eating raw rabbit meat. There was no report of animal infection, so I did not go down to the village just in case, but wandered far into the sky to observe.
‘This… is really serious.’
Moaning and singing erupted from everywhere. The rumors were not just rumors. Even the caregiver was not in good condition. The symptoms were the same as reported by my grandfather. In other villages nearby, the situation was the same. I turned my head eagerly to find the source of the infection, but all I could see was a terrible sight. I was getting more and more anxious. No matter how many cores there were, there was a limit to the divine power that could be used.
‘I can’t get any information here.’
I solved the eagle’s assimilation and transferred my senses to another creature nearby. By the way… it’s so hot.
‘Rain fish?’
I have assimilated into a fish…! Whether I was embarrassed or not, the fish was swimming leisurely in the water.
‘I never thought I’d assimilate into a fish.’
Even if it wasn’t, I thought it was a big problem even though I didn’t have enough divine power. Just when I was thinking that I should quickly assimilate into another animal, something caught my eye.
‘That’s…?’
The body of the fish was floating downstream. At first there was only one. However, an increasing number of corpses leisurely passed by.
‘The freshwater fish living in the river are dying in droves?’
Something is strange. Instinctively predicting that this was a hint of something, I headed in the direction of the fish carcass. As we went upstream, the number of fish carcasses increased exponentially. It was clear that there was something upstream. tingling The fish, diligently moving its fins, suddenly stopped moving.
‘Why…?’
It wasn’t long before I found out why. The first sensation that struck me was an unknown feeling of goosebumps. What I immediately saw was a strange aura like a black wave coming down from the upper stream. It was encroaching on the river while expanding its area.
‘As expected, that energy!’
First, I had to run in the opposite direction. But it was faster than that. Saaak-! Black energy attacked the fish without warning.
‘no!’
Right before the energy hit, the sensation was cut off as if it was being thrown out.
***
“…heh heh heh!”
As soon as I opened my eyes, all I saw was a blue sky with floating thin clouds. I clenched my fists and took a quick breath. I couldn’t escape the shock that came right in front of death.
“your majesty.”
Aidan called me quietly and touched my forehead. The warmth of the cold palms calmed his mind for an instant. It wasn’t until I met Aidan’s eyes that I realized that I had returned to my body.
“I will raise you up.”
“Oh, thank you Enrique.”
When I grabbed Enrique’s hand and stood up awkwardly, Casey came over and looked at my body.
“Are you okay, miss?”
“It’s okay… no, it’s not okay!”
“Yes?”
Of course, Casey put on a dumbfounded expression as if he knew he would say it was okay. But it was really not a good situation at all.
“I used up all my divine power. If I spend more, it will probably be a big deal.”
The big deal was the terrible situation where I turned into a baby baby Mabel.
“And I almost died!”
He won’t really die, but if he did, the damage to his body would have been great! At my whining, the three men seemed at a loss for words. But that whining only ended once.
“But what can I do? I have to do something.”
He muttered nonchalantly and brushed off the blades of grass clinging to his clothes. Now that I had complained even a word, it was time for me to do what I had to do. I called all the other knights and servants who were waiting nearby.
“Who has the map?”
“Here you are, Your Majesty!”
An article quickly brought a map in front of me.
“Thank you Sir.”
“Huh. It is a family honor!”
After waving at the overjoyed knight, he opened the map. I sat down haphazardly in front of them and began to mark the Xs with a red pen in the order in which the epidemic spread. An epidemic that started from the borders of Bargata Kingdom. The plague was riding down quickly and making its way into the capital. And at the center of the X mark, or spread, was the Bidel River. The starting point of the river was the starting point of this epidemic. All mysteries have been solved. I kicked off the floor and jumped up.
“water!”
“…yes?”
“It’s water, Aidan!”
Eureka! Excited with joy, I unknowingly hugged Aidan who was right in front of me. Then Aidan’s body stiffened.
‘What’s wrong with Aidan?’
I tilted my head and met eyes with Enrique, who was staring at us.
“Enrique!”
I hugged Enrique too. But Enrique also froze hard. No one shares the joy of this great realization with me. The next person to catch my eye was Casey, smiling expectantly at me.
“Casey!”
The moment she even tries to hug Casey.
“That’s not okay.”
Aidan stopped.
“why?”
At my question, Aidan glanced at Casey and answered firmly.
“Casey is insidious.”
“A sneaky adventure?”
I glanced over Aidan at Casey. Casey was looking at me pitifully with her eyes drooping. Certainly…
“It’s insidious.”
“My lady! I’m not insidious!”
Casey howled, but I smiled awkwardly and took a step back. It’s a pity, but let’s only give Enrique the hug of joy. Enrique, whose cheeks were flushed for some reason, asked, avoiding my gaze.
“What do you mean water, Your Majesty?”
“Water was a problem.”
I summarized the facts I realized.
’cause.’
I’ve been completely wrong up until now. The black aura coming down from the upper reaches of the river was the cause of the plague.
‘That’s why the dispatched relief team also got sick. I must have used the water from the Videl River.’
It was useless even if he covered his respiratory tract and washed his hands. After all, the water must have been contaminated, so it was like washing a bottle with a bottle.
“There is something wrong with the river, so everyone who drank it got infected.”
“Then, the epidemic will disappear if only water is solved!”
Larimar exclaimed in admiration. But the situation was not so optimistic.
“That’s not it, Larimar. Because people who get sick won’t get better right away.”
Finding out the cause did not end the situation. But at least it could have prevented it from getting worse. I let out a light sigh and glanced at everyone who followed me.
“From now on, Jim will move to the area where the epidemic has occurred. If you are afraid, you may leave the procession.”
“…!”
“Where an epidemic spread…?”
“It wasn’t a mission like that…!”
The atmosphere stirred for an instant at my announcement. It was felt that people who had only come into contact with the epidemic through rumors were exchanging glances anxiously. Not to mention, some of my escort knights couldn’t completely hide their fearful appearance. I fully understood their reaction.
‘Because everyone doesn’t want to die.’
I had no right to persuade them to go with me at the risk of their lives. A heavy silence prevailed. Before long, someone broke through the silence and raised a hand.
“I will… go with Your Majesty!”
The first to express his intention was none other than Larimar. Xavier grabbed Larimar’s arm with a serious face.
“What are you talking about? you go back I will protect Your Majesty’s side.”
“You tell me not to do what you do? Do not be ridiculous. I will go too.”
“Larima.”
“And His Majesty is by your side, so what are you worried about? If something goes wrong, he will heal you right away!”
Larimar looked at me with sparkling eyes. It was as if he was asking, ‘Isn’t that right?’ After thinking about that infinite trust for a moment, I nodded.
“I can’t guarantee if this disease can be cured with my power, but if possible, you guys will never die of the plague.”
At least, if I protect them with my ability, I won’t be reprimanded. After a very slight silence, the knights one by one knelt down in front of me.
“I will follow Your Majesty!”
“I will follow you too!”
“I’m not afraid of sickness!”
All the knights swore firmly. Even the trembling coachman nodded his head with difficulty. As if needless to say, Aidan and Enrique began to prepare for departure.
‘Dad, I’m sorry again today!’
The infidel weeps. After leaving a message for my dad, I climbed into the carriage.
“Let’s go upstream to the Videl River.”
***
The Imperial Castle of the Ermano Empire. Among them, the emperor’s office. Esteban, who had thoroughly closed his mouth so that the emperor’s absence would not be known, sat still like a corpse in his wake. Time passed terribly slowly.
“…You’re late.”
Gustav, who was looking at the documents at the muttering, responded with a sigh. It was a slightly sympathetic voice.
“You will be back within the day. Don’t worry too much, Your Majesty.”
“late.”
“Can’t you hear my voice?”
“Why are you so late?”
“is it so. I am just an accessory for the office.”
“Mabel is a cute guy. It was at the time when Gustaf
and Esteban were having a strange conversation that didn’t connect. Wiing-. Esteban’s communication magic tool rang. Almost like an unconditional reflex, he took out the magic tool and checked the contents. As he read the sentences written there, Esteban’s complexion became paler every moment.
“…Mabel.”
“huh? Anything can happen to His Majesty.”
“Mabel Gardenia Ermano!”
Esteban stormed out of the office. Gustav’s expression hardened strangely as he picked up the communication magic tool he threw away. [dad. My daughter will defeat the plague and come back. Side ♥]
“Haha…Your Majesty is also true.”
The one who was unfilial today was Mabel, the craftsman who was unfilial.
