Advisor to Adventurer Alliance All Purpose ~ [Magic Swordsman] said to be [instrumentally poor] and banished from the Brave Party, but I can teach swordsmanship and witchcraft [All-purpose Instructor], so I decided to entrust my beloved apprentice with the King of Demons Crusade

"Hmm... Fair enough. Tiny though."

"Don't complain like you're great."

It's in the harbor district, one of Redo's hideouts. It was a room of collective housing behind an alley, with furniture to the extent that it was small but able to live.

"... Mr. Redo, is it good to let him in the city?

"Neither do I."

I look at Irene, who cautions me to be a little shy with an old man who is quick to relax in the room, and Ellios peeks into Ledo's face worried.

It took Ledo a long time to rush and figure out the situation, but he eventually decided to drink the old man's terms.

So I snuck in to this safe house where Redo is closest...

"Do you even serve a single cup of tea...?

"Why are you so cheerful?" Prisoner! Prisoner! [Flaming nucleus] I'm gonna smack you!

"She's a scary girl."

So was this demon clan sitting on the couch quickly reminding me of tea, but Redo felt terrified of Irene, who was in normal conversation with it.

"I'm sorry, but I don't have time. Your purpose, the information about the demons lurking in this city, I want you to wash up and talk to them."

Ledo sits in the front of the old man. Elios stood at the entrance to the room and Irene moved to a window a little further away.

This prevented my exit from this room, and I have told Irene to break the flame nucleus immediately if the old man in front of me makes any strange moves.

It's a crude response to the Demons, but Redo decided it was a bad idea to use the help of Diaz and the others in the current situation.

Besides, sooner or later I realize it and come into contact with it from the other side. I want to get ahead of myself somehow by then.

Know it or not? Ledo knew very well that the small difference would divide the fate ahead.

Redo tried unconsciously to remove the cigarette and immediately stopped. It is too dangerous to inadvertently use fire objects in front of the Demon Clan.

"Hmm. The boulder is that daughter's master. Does the Lord have sights inside? But I don't want to be polite. Isn't there something we should do before we have a conversation? Wouldn't you like to say hello?"

It was Ledo who still couldn't grasp the old man with the floating atmosphere in front of him.

I'm used to negotiating with my human opponents, but I've never even negotiated with a boulder Redo in front of me like this anyway if it's a rush in battle.

"... unwilling to get used to the devil clan"

"Fair enough. Non is the third largest Gerthardt in the [seed fire (Kindle)] sequence. They call me" exposed to fire. "

"He said it was third in sequence!?

Old man - shock runs to everyone except Gerthardt. Irene strongly re-gripped the song sword so that she could crack the rugged [flame nucleus] at any time.

"Um, even Begim Rain should have been fifth..."

"Because that kid is a newcomer. Fair enough, but they ended up killing me."

Redo thinks.

Possible bluff. But what's the point of making a strong appeal here? Doesn't that just make you more alert?

"How could I be wrong? Sequences are never determined by strength alone."

"So what's the decision?

"Nori and momentum then - my daughter, I'm kidding. I want you to stop putting the blade on the [flame nucleus]."

Irene was pressing the sword tip of the song sword against the [flame nucleus] as she raised her blue muscle.

"Answer seriously!!

"It's because of this... I tried to soothe the scene while I made a little joke, and I lost my mind. Now, seriously, it's not strength, it's threat (...) threat (...) degree (...). Well, he's the one who decided between the demons, so you shouldn't worry too much."

"Answer only what you are asked because it is good. First, it's about you. What about the ability to use it, the magic, and your opponent?"

Ledo asks without changing his expression. Don't get on their pace, but it's easy to do there thanks to Irene getting on well.

"Is ability a secret? Don't worry, I'm not going to point it at you. The same goes for magic. The other side... Uhm, seems to know a little about the Demons. The Nun and the Demons act basically against each other, but they call themselves [knights] and [princesses], respectively."

That was information that Ledo also knew. It's just that the name Knight and Princess is the first thing I've heard.

"Do you organize with men and women?

"Not necessarily. The man who was now a knight is also a man."

"Was?

"Killed for differences in musicality - disbanded"

"Hey, I just told you I killed him. Or musicality?

"It's a joke. It could have been difficult for humans."

Redo sighed. I have to take this seriously, but it's hard to stay nervous.

But if Gerthardt's story is true, it means this guy is a [princess]. It is a mystery on what basis [knights] and [princesses] are divided.

"Either way, there are two demons who are coming to this city except for Non. Each one of them killed his own [princess] or [knight]. First of all, you're definitely acting alone."

"So you're not a pair. Do they ever pair up on an impromptu basis?

"I can't say for sure without it... but I can't think much of it. The Demon Clan has a faint sense of compatriots from their origins."

"From?"

"Whoa, I missed the conversation. Well, anyway, I'm so stupid that these two can't help it. It's a particularly pointy Rokudenashi among the [Smoky Spirits]."

"Tell me each name and ability"

In the end, he was teased about Gerthardt's abilities, but he didn't expect Ledo there either.

But if you find that fellowship between demons is weak, you might be able to get some information about the other two.

"First of all, it's the fourth place in the sequence [Dulles of Grey Thunder]. I look like a dog, but when I call it a dog, I get so angry, I should definitely give it a try. I don't know what I'm capable of other than thunder."

"Is he more than Begim Rain..."

"So, the other one... [Bleeding Leatherlia]... this guy is an extraordinarily bad woman. It's a good idea not to come as close as possible, not to get involved. I don't know what I'm capable of... except fucking blood. Basically, we don't really talk about ourselves with pepper because we don't trust anyone else."

"Blood on thunder... So, what's the sequence between the leather rear and the dots?

"He's been removed from the sequence. I should say it's out of line. If we were to add... considering the threat to mankind, the viciousness, the collapse of the sexual roots - it's number one (...) in the punch."

Two people are more troublesome than that Begim Rain. Redo held his head in his heart for information that was only disturbing.

But here's the real deal.

Why did they come to this city with all of them? I don't really think it's Begim Rain's hatred.

"What's the purpose? And I want to know why you're trying to stop it."

"Hmm... I don't know where to start... that was when Noon was just a kid... a kid from the neighborhood..."

"It's going to be a long time, so break it!

Irene, who accidentally spoke out, gives me the look that it's gone. Redo laughs bitterly.

Gerthardt, we don't have time for this.

"Don't worry. We still have time. Now, for the sake of simplicity, I would like to (...) solve (...) the seal (...) mark (...) of (...) Ru (...) Ancient (...) Dragon (...).

"... does it still have to do with the Great Lighthouse"

As far as Redo had looked in the library, he could not find anything directly linking the Great Lighthouse to the Demon Clan. Low probability information suggests that the Demons built it, but this is also suspicious.

But there was a statement that I was curious to examine based on the secretary's hint of Jorne.

Legend has it that dragons sleep beneath the Great Lighthouse.

There is no credibility or anything, like fairytales or heirlooms, but the legend says Gaddis has been around since he was still a fishing village.

Under the Great Lighthouse, dragons sleep. When the Great Lighthouse lights up, the dragon wakes up.

In short, that's the legend, but the Great Lighthouse has been lit for a long time in the first place, and then a dragon should be awake some time ago, but as far as Gaddis history goes, there is no description of a dragon waking up, being attacked by a dragon.

It was Ledo's interpretation that people at the time thought that there was a great lighthouse to quell the disaster that sometimes referred to as a storm or a great wave, and that it remained a legacy.

"The Great Lighthouse...... Hmm well I can't help calling it that either. But it's not a lighthouse... it's a [start-up tower]."

"[Startup Tower]...?

"Really? It was built to activate a temple. It's called a lighthouse because the terrain has changed now and it's on the side of the ocean, but it's not supposed to be."

"Temple? Do you have that stuff?

Ledo had heard the theory, too.

The theory is that there are ruins spread in the basement of Gaddis, but they have an archaeologist who concludes that there can indeed be ruin-like objects to extrapolate from the perimeter of the city, from the books...

"[Ougadar, the Temple of the Underworld Sea], that's the name of that temple. I've heard of the remains of the old world, but I've never seen them... but I know what they did."

[Ugadar, the Temple of the Underworld Sea]... that was a word Ledo had never even heard of. But I remember that some of the dragon languages that Redo learned when he was a student when he studied magic theory were close to it.

"Uga dar... it must have meant“ dark and mysterious ”in dragon language..."

"Oh, it's a boulder. The source of the words is this [Temple of the Underworld Sea Ougadar]. This ruin was built for a certain ancient dragon and has a mechanism to awaken the sealed ancient dragon. It is the purpose of Leatherlia and Dulles to activate this and awaken the ancient dragon."

Ancient dragon. In Redo's perception, that's just a fairy tale.

There is also an anecdote that you have the power to change the terrain overnight and erased one continent at a time.

There are several famous ancient dragons, but the best known would be [Holy Wolf Dragon Ljuicaris].

An ancient dragon that is said to have led people in the right direction and into the light, but no one knows if it really existed.

Others say that the black flame changed the world for three days and three nights, into the night. [Fire Praise Dragon (Ensanryu) Eggubel]

[Dark Vortex Dragon]

It is believed that he is still alive and touring this planet with the wind.

But all of them, the theory is now common sense that we just saw the catastrophe that once occurred as a dragon.

"Well, that doesn't sound like a fairy tale."

"Fairy tale...... then how good would it have been. Sleeping in [Ougadar, the Temple of the Underworld Sea] is a thirsty evil dragon [Ardbeg, the Dark Vortex Dragon]. If he wakes up, it's a big deal. At the time of unsealing in the first place... all life around this city dies - just like it was once Bail"

"Explain it in detail. And how can we stop it?"

I don't see why Redo has Bail's name coming out here.

And from there everyone, including Ledo, blued into the words spoken by Gerthardt.

"I need a lot of water to wake up Aldbeg. This temple has the ability to absorb and accumulate moisture around it. If activated, in an instant the earth will dry up and the organism will also be sucked out of all moisture and killed..."

"... hard to believe. Sure, there's a magic trick called [absorption (absorption)]... is that a massive object?

"Really? Well, it's a lot bigger than that."

But Redo didn't fall for it anyway. If you say you need moisture, how much do you have?

"There is water in the sea. Do we need to use that mechanism on purpose to collect water?

"As I said earlier, it's only recently that this neighborhood has become seaside. Well, the history and facts around here are hidden."

"I see. What I have believed in is going to shake..."

"Either way, if the temple starts, at least this city will perish."

Gerthardt's words echo heavily indoors.

"Immediately... we have to do something..."

Irene squeezed her face tight and said so. But my voice is shaking a little.

"You don't have to rush. [Startup tower] is still only functioning incompletely. There are conditions to fully activate it. Probably the next full moon night. They are bound to come to the basement of that start-up tower. If we don't stop it, it's over."

"The next full moon... just a week later"

A week. Seems long and short.

Redo immediately began to calculate how he should move.

"It's not about taking them down by then. But they know that too, so it's not that easy to show your tail. Because they also have collaborators. Well, I'm sure you can work with them."

"Are you going to help us?

"Really? I don't want you to unseal that dragon. If that's what you're doing, I'll help you... but if I can, I want you to be free."

"Well, you can't help it."

Redo nodded at Irene's words. You can't let a boulder go wild.

"So, if there is, I have to act with you. I'll keep [Flame Nucleus]"

"... right. That's all I have. I want the same story to be a different person now, can you?

"I don't mind."

Redo already had to admit that it was a matter of keeping his own hands off him.

Report to Diaz immediately, and we need to take action.

Thus, the Reds established a cooperative relationship with Gerthardt.
