Chapter 354. The purpose is only tourism (6) Realization of justice and justice (1)
[Ah…. that’s why I can’t remember his name or face. At the time, I remember getting upset and arguing and then getting into a fight.
]
After I breathed into my fist, I said, “Shall we try it?” When asked, he made a fuss and shouted quit.
[Quit! Even if you don’t feel pain, you get motion sickness if you shake or hit it! My soul goes round and round!]
“That’s why sometimes, when teachers say nonsense, they punish me like this.”
Hetia lifted the skull and shook it slightly.
It sounded like it was really painful.
It’s a familiar snap.
That punishment certainly wasn’t given once or twice.
“Queen… You look familiar for some reason’?”
“…That’s right. And Arel, you don’t have to be respectful to me here. You look pretty uncomfortable.”
“Yes, are you okay?”
“I don’t know your true identity, but I heard that you are the same as Sensei. So, wouldn’t it be comfortable for you to be comfortable in a non-public setting?”
If you want to let go, just let go. I’m comfortable with that too.
I’m tired of pretending.
“Then don’t hesitate. Is it okay if I call you Hetia like your skeleton master?”
“Do whatever you want.”
Even while we were having this conversation, Hetia’s hand was eagerly shaking her master.
They are very friendly priests.
It wasn’t until after being bullied by Hetia that Cressel started talking again with a slight trembling voice.
[Ah… ugh, I’m leaning… that’s right.
As for me, I wanted to know that he still exists. And I wanted to get out of this situation.]
“Really?”
[So, Mr. Gray.]
“I refuse.”
[…. I listen to people to the end, but?]
“You’re doing it because it’s obvious what you’re going to say even if you don’t listen to the end, right? Either ask me to deal with that bastard or break the seal now, right?”
I have no intention of accepting either of them.
“I don’t care who he is or what he does. And the seal is overly complicated, so to break one, I have to put all my strength into it.
Not worth considering either way.
It bothers me more than anything.”
I have some sympathy for this guy’s situation, but there’s no reason for me to go that far and help him.
[…Can it be helped?]
When I said this, Cressel unexpectedly seemed to give up.
There was no sign of discouragement.
did you just do that? I was about to accept it.
“what? Did you notice that I didn’t expect it from the beginning?”
[What? It’s the personality of guys like us, don’t we know best?
I didn’t think either side would take it lightly hahahahaha!
And.]
Cressel laughed at what was funny and said in a tone that seemed to know everything.
[…] After all, the older brother won’t be able to stay still anytime soon. There has already been friction, right?]
Friction Ra.
I gave a sullen answer, saying, “What do you really want to know?”
“Whatever happens, it happens then. It’s annoying to think ahead.”
[Anyway, I warned you, that’s all hahahahahaha. After all, all I can do is watch!]
That skeleton also has a slightly twisted personality.
Still, if you see that he’s warning you, you’ll want me to take care of him.
[It would be nice if I could be released someday. Even if it’s not, it’s fun to watch this idiot for a while.]
“…Who the hell is this idiot?”
[And moving while being hugged by Ella and other cute ladies-in-waiting isn’t too bad either. Even if you look like this, the field of view is omnidirectional! Kyahahahaha!]
Oh, I admit that.
However, since Hetia’s gaze was cold, I did not participate in the nonsense on the outside.
Instead, he slightly changed the subject.
“Then what’s next? It looks like you, Hetia, have something to say before you, Cressel.”
“That’s right, Areel Ernesia.
Actually, I have a suggestion.”
it’s a suggestion
I pretended to be thinking about it before she even brought it up.
What do you think?
I ask you to accompany someone who knows my identity.
If it’s roughly according to the information I’m looking at first, is that it?
“Does it have something to do with the fact that the black magician’s stronghold is within the Kelia territory?”
It wasn’t until I saw Hetia’s complexion hardened that I was sure I was pointing it out correctly.
“Is that so?”
it just took
I smiled.
“Right. Do you have a favor to ask about that?”
“It is.”
Hetia gazed directly into my eyes and asked, as if there was no need to hide it anymore.
“I will make a case. won’t you help us? Arel, I need your strength.”
“…If you ask me, I will listen to the contents and conditions and make a decision.”
Realization of karma and justice (1)
After the trip, my longing home!
A few days after returning to Fahilia.
I pretended to work until late at night and tried to get out and go on a late night outing.
Today’s destination is, of course, Kelly.
As for the coordinates, moving around is simple as you have roughly learned the geography through the last tour.
There is no place I cannot go.
I’m just not going to bother!
Once I arrived at the place I had promised, I looked around.
“Where… I think I’ll be waiting around here soon. Oh, there you are.”
I finally arrived first and found her waiting.
A conspicuous woman with multi-colored hair mixed in a jumbled look.
Hetiada, the queen of Kellia.
Eh, we see it strangely often these days. I’m going to fix this.
Currently, she is looking around in a comfortable leather outfit that mercenaries would wear, not the dress she saw in the castle.
Didn’t you notice I came?
“Hey hey! there lady! Have you been waiting long?”
When I call out waving my hand, she turns this way.
For reference, the skeleton guy is hanging from her waist on a fixing pole made with leather straps.
[Here! Brother, do you have a hobby of being late? I waited quite a bit!]
“Being late is my daily life, and being late is my skill.”
I appropriately agreed with Cressel’s nonsense.
Anyway, why did you bring him out? Isn’t it noisy for an accessory?
Meanwhile, Hetia’s complexion blurred as if she had no face to see.
“First of all, thank you for coming…
I am ashamed of myself for asking you to do so.”
“It’s okay, don’t worry. It’s what I need anyway… And it’s a fair deal. There is no reason to hear a private thank you.”
Still, after speaking moderately to Hetia, who was still disrespectful, he decided to return to his original business.
The reason we met at this time was not that we specifically asked to go out to play. It’s not like I met you to do something weird.
I’ve been through all kinds of dangerous and promiscuous relationships in my life, but no matter how much I do, I cover the other person.
In the first place, when I was called out, I came out to work as a favor.
“Let’s hurry up and get rid of the loathsome cockroaches.”
“So be it.”
Of course, it’s not really cockroaches that we’re going to get rid of.
I have no intention of starting a pest control business.
And there are no cockroaches in my castle.
This is just a quote from a mage tower lord.
What we are looking for are some more special wheels.
Our purpose is to go to the throats of warlocks, the very wheels of the wizarding industry.
“…I never thought that the Dark Church or something really had a base in Kelia.”
“I have no face. I had to deal with it right away. So you couldn’t.”
Hetia lowered her head, as if she had nothing to say sincerely.
As I guessed, there is a warlock’s base somewhere within Kelia’s territory.
She admitted it without hiding it.
Well, it doesn’t mean that the black magicians are hiding in collusion with them.
Just because there are cockroaches in the house doesn’t mean the landlord colluded with them, right?
They’re not paying rent.
It means living here as you please.
In other words, the concept of smuggling.
“They are a nuisance to us too.”
“I know. That’s why I accepted the offer.”
I have no intention of blaming her either.
Rather, I was full of thoughts of jumping on the bandwagon.
“After all, it’s a simple thing to think a warlock would be here.”
Currently, all countries are wandering around looking for the headquarters where the key executives or heads of their hideouts will be located.
However, no one has found the location of the main church of the most important dark church or whatever.
No clues.
There are also many useless hideouts.
I’ve never heard of anyone finding the main base or catching clues.
That’s why the location of the headquarters of the black magicians was treated as a mystery.
I did a decent selection of candidates there.
Since you’ve already searched all the places you can find, the only place left for black magicians by the elimination method is Kelia or the area where dragons live.
Either that, or it means that he came from outside the continent, but the possibility of that is extremely small.
There is no possibility that the dragons could hide such things, so this is the only place left.
Come to think of it, there was no better place to hide than here.
There were so many gaps in the territory of the different races, and the humans did not show much interest in the state of the country.
Moreover, at the time, it was in conflict with the Holy Kingdom, so I didn’t pay much attention to it, and as a result, there must have been plenty of gaps for black magicians to inhabit.
[Has it been about 500 years? At that time, the religious leader came here with a group of black magicians. From that point on, the church moved here.]
If Cressel’s testimony is correct, does that mean that he has been hiding here for more than 500 years’?
It’s a complete nostalgia.
“By the way, did you leave it alone?
Didn’t the different races care at the time?”
[That means they weren’t the same as they are now… They secretly settled down after receiving some tacit understanding while helping the tribes around them. I heard it’s just a nuisance now, but hahahaha. Time is scary, scary.]
According to him, in the distant past, the Dark Church was a much more moderate group?
So the different races in the past didn’t pay much attention to them.
Now, it seems that Hetia and other descendants regret it because of that.
I don’t find it very strange.
“It must have changed as the years passed. It doesn’t have to be that the ancestors of the different races made a mistake.”
Any group changes.
It takes only a moment for even the most moderate group to become an evil organization.
“Anyway, it’s true that it’s a nuisance.”
In the end, it seems that the warlock problem is quite a headache from Kelly’s point of view.
Even if it wasn’t, it seemed that he was at a loss as to what to do with them.
The exact location was also a problem.
It was to the point that Hetia asked to defeat the black magician first.
“If we don’t take care of it, there will be problems with future state affairs… isn’t it really embarrassing?”
Since it was integrated into the kingdom, it would be difficult for the future international community if black magicians continued to inhabit the territory.
If you inform other countries, you will be suspected of collusion.
In fact, the ancestors acquiesced, so there is a possibility of overturning the dump.
[So I suggested. If it’s your brother, it’s easy to deal with, right?]
“It’s simple, but. Why are you dragging me in for that?”
When I was dumbfounded, Hetia lowered her head again.
“Please.”
“For now, I accepted it as a deal. There is no need to bow my head again.”
I didn’t go out because I was forced to.
It was properly negotiated as a deal.
On top of that, black magicians are troublemakers on this side as well, so I decided to help them at this point.
