Suddenly, my vision opened up.
In the dazzling light of the sun, Ilmis frowned at the landscape that spread out in front of him.
"... this is..."
As they walked up the stairs around the huge trunk of the tree, Ilmis was blocked from view by countless leaves from the large stretched branches.
The staircase continued up through the green walls.
To such an extent that he did not know how high he was climbing, the branches and leaves were so close to the staircase that the darkness was obscured at his feet, but neither Ilmis nor Linulu lit up.
When the sensation of how much I climbed suddenly turned to the horizon, my surrounding vision suddenly opened up.
"Here we are."
Rinel, who had been silently walking in front of Ilmis, looked back.
“Welcome to Lady Rode's tree garden.”
The staircase ended just at the entrance to the garden.
The wind gently shook the two robes.
It was a spacious garden.
Nicely maintained implants were arranged around a large spring that kept water flowing, and statues were placed everywhere.
"Is this the top of a tree?"
Ilmis took a step forward.
The lawn at the foot was well maintained, and the beautiful green color was reflected in the sunshine.
It was a garden that I didn't think was very much on a tree.
"Mrs. Rode... I see. Rode Urstand."
Irmis muttered.
"In ancient times, you were one of the evil witches operating in the southern part of the continent." Compared to the three witches of the ghost, they are never famous. "
"That's the teacher of the college"
Rinel smiles.
I know you very well.
With that, he slapped the large stone statue near the entrance with his right hand and looked up.
"Well, that's a good hobby."
Illumis looked up at the statue.
It was a stone statue with a crooked figure like a man and a monster boy.
The statue wasn't the only one.
It looked like a beautiful garden, and all the statues here had a strangely evil vibe.
I'm taking care of it, but I can't hide my evil from you.
Irmis replied.
"Same as you are now, Rhinel."
"This is tough."
Rinel smiles bitterly.
But Mrs. Rode is a woman who has shown her talent in making magic tools.
Having said that, Rhinel still smashed the statue.
“She was an artist. Unlike the haunted three witches who tried to use that power to gain power in this world."
An easy-to-understand manifestation of evil and an ingenious concealment of evil.
Irmis turns her back on Rhineland and says as she steps into the garden.
"There are all different kinds of evils, but the essence is one."
Having said that, he looked back at the rhineless stone statue.
"That means evil."
"I refuse, like a god."
Linulu laughed with her mouth twisted.
"What's the evil you're talking about?"
"I'm not willing to argue about that here."
Ilmis looked at Lynn with harsh eyes.
"To put it simply, it's darkness." "The Dark One."
After that, I turned to the cylinder Rinel held in his right hand.
"You said it was Madam Rode's magic mirror. About that cylinder."
Yeah.
"Where did you get that, Rhinel?"
Ilmis' eyes grew steeper.
"The existing Rode Wolstand magic equipment is strictly controlled by the Royal Galilee due to its dangers. And as far as I know, the royal magic device list doesn't have a name for it."
"I just told you, I don't think that's going to happen."
In a light tone, Rinel says.
"I borrowed it from someone."
A royal family.
Irmis said.
"Is the royal family involved in your plan?"
Failing to answer, Rinel shrugged his shoulders.
You seem to think there's a mastermind behind me, Irmis.
When I say that, I smile.
"I told you before. The only person behind me is the" Dark Abyss Kun "."
"Don't be ridiculous."
Ilmis has a tough expression on his face.
"The mirror and the nine brothers' stone bracelets attached to Wendy's arms." Neither of them was something that a single magician could get. Even if you dye your hands in the dark. "
Even if you say so.
Rinel was still smashing the statue.
Ilmis noticed that the sound had changed.
"Where is the magic tool coming from? Behind me?"
Another evil thing enters Rinel's smile.
"Irmis, you didn't come all the way up to this tree to talk like that."
As if it echoed the word.
What was a stone statue moved.
The colour and texture remained stone, but the stone statue stepped out with a smooth, slimy texture.
If it's just a chat, you can do it downstairs.
Reinel laughs. A stone statue rushes towards Ilmis with the agility of a carnivorous beast.
The trampled grass soars violently with the soil.
It was no longer a stone statue.
A stone demon, nearly twice the size of Ilmis.
It swung up its long claws and approached.
However, Irmis stared at Lynn with cold eyes and did not move.
"That's my line, Rhinel."
What?
"Weren't we supposed to take lives?"
Irmis turned his back on the Rhineland as he spoke.
Without glancing at the demon behind her, Ilmis takes another step towards the fountain in the center of the garden.
The demon on his back waved his sharp claws.
However, I was on the verge of touching Ilmis's grey robe and suddenly stopped moving.
Irmis's back was already in a position where she tried to stick her fingernails, but she couldn't move anymore.
The demon returned to the statue as if it had been there for a long time.
Seeing Ilmis walk away without looking back, Reinul raised his voice and laughed.
"That's right, my friend, a man who can't stop making me jealous."
That said, Rhinelle calls out to Ilmis's back.
"Wait, Irmis. It was my fault. A little mischievous."
With an innocent smile, as if he were back in school, Rinel walked out.
"Are you mad, Irmis?" I never thought I'd be able to beat you with something like this. "
With an outrageously bright voice, Rinel chased after Ilmis.
You've walked a lot already.
Above ground. In the woods.
Nelson, who was walking at the head, raised his voice in disgust.
"How long is this road going to last?" Did that white stone fly this far? "
Shut up.
Norish squints his back.
"Walk without complaining."
"I know you're walking."
Looking back at Norish, Nelson still pointed his mouth.
"No, but if you do that, it's too far." Oh, no way. "
As if he noticed something, Nelson stops.
"Wow."
It suddenly stopped, so Norish walked right behind him and almost hit his back and squeezed.
"What? Don't stop suddenly."
"What's the matter, Nelson?"
Raido, who was walking at the end, asked calmly.
"Did you come up with something?"
"Yeah, I got it."
Nelson looked at both of them with a serious expression on his face.
"It's an old man's trap called the Rhineland. This is..."
"What are you talking about now?"
Norish shouted in amazement.
"It's a trap, isn't it?" You heard that dark sorcerer himself said that this was your exam. "
No, that's not what I meant.
Nelson shakes his head.
"This was a much worse trap."
Huh?
Norish frowns.
What do you mean?
"That's why."
Nelson twisted his head.
"He told us to collect stones."
"Yes, it is."
Norish nods.
That's why I'm not walking to the stone like this.
"There it is."
Nelson points to Norish's face. Norish wiped his hand with a disgusting look.
"That's what he's after."
Nelson said, as if he didn't care if he was washed up.
"This is how we walk around the woods, and I can't get to the stone at all." So, if you notice, at night. Time is running out and Wendy can't be saved. It was a trap like that. "
Having said that, Nelson saw the original path.
"I can't do this." Let's go back to Wendy and the others. "
"I see. I thought of you, Nelson."
Raido said, and Nelson nodded heavily.
Isn't that right? Come on, let's go.
But it's not strange that you killed Wendy in the first place, as long as you're out of time to take her life without letting her fight a stone.
To Raydor's words, Nelson was dumbfounded.
Hmm?
"Because Wendy was already unconscious when that man came out." If that man was going to kill Wendy, he could do it anytime. If that's the point, you don't have to wait so long for that bracelet to steal your soul. ”
Well, that's true.
Nelson put his arms together.
But...
"Well, I don't know what the dark sorcerer thinks." Maybe there's something else weird about it. But even if you're right. "
Raido said that and looked at Nelson.
"We have no choice but to collect stones." I mean, there's nothing I can do when I get back to Wendy. Nelson, what were you going to do when you got back? "
Nelson is stuck with the words.
"I seriously listened, and I lost it."
Norish said as if he was stunned.
"What if I need a stone now?" If you come back again, you won't be able to make it. "
Gu
Nelson was stuck for a moment, but hesitated for a moment. I quickly turned to look forward in good health.
"It's not the time for you guys to stop here." The stone is beyond. "
Saying that, I pointed to the end of the road and started walking with my big strands.
Don't be late.
"Yes, yes."
Norish nodded in sigh.
"You can leave it to Rado to think about it." Don't use your head on Nelson. "
After that, I looked at Nelson's back with gentle eyes and added words.
But I don't hate the early part of the switch.
That's right.
Raido also nodded.
"I'm counting on you, Leader."
"Oh, I'll take care of it."
Nelson raised his cane energetically and quickened his legs.
