“Are you okay there · · ·? ”

Lee carefully raised his face to see if it had calmed down. Yoohyun nodded. My body is light. I had a nightmare, but I didn't feel like I had a nightmare. But was it different for her?

“Brother, I've been sweating and moaning a lot in my sleep. Have you had any nightmares? ”

Her round eyes, which seem naive, are shivering faintly. She was worried a lot when she came back, but she made me worry even more. Yoohyun strokes her head.

“It's okay. Your body is fine as you can see. ”

“· · Yes. Thank goodness.”

Only then did I notice that there was a residual golden magic power thought to be Lee Seo-yeon's magic power around Yoohyun. Maybe he was using magic while he was sleeping.

The mild air that made the chest more comfortable was not bad. Every time she used a healing spell, the warmth she could feel was wandering around the room.

Lee Seo-yeon said.

“That · · ·. Ponterna is waiting for you. Would you like to go? ”

“Mr. Fontaina? Are you here right now? “

“Yes. He's waiting for us. ”

The group arrived in Defera a few days earlier than Yoohyun. I seem to have met with the Horseman Investigation Squad in the meantime. Was she in the room to preach Ponterna's words?

I don't think I need to ask. Yoohyun raised his body.

My body is light.I feel like I'm sleeping better than I thought.

* * *

I left the room and went down to the first floor. As Lee Seo-yeon said, Ponterna was waiting. I don't know where the other members are, but it was him who was sitting at the table.

Fontaina was wearing the same light disguise as Yoohyun's group. The Demibeasts were wearing tattoos on their faces, hiding that they were human through their Demibeast outfits. I'm also a pro. It seemed quite natural what he was doing.

The first floor was secluded. I don't think I need to see anyone else's eyes. However, I came down with Yoohyun's appearance hidden because I didn't know it was possible. Adventurers roam this place.

Fontaina has pretended to know if she found Yoohyun coming down.

“Oh. I heard you fought quite splendidly, but I'm glad you look okay. Is your body okay?”

“Yes. There's no big deal, so you don't have to worry too much. ”

“Haha. That's a relief. Miss Lee Seo-yeon is very worried about you. Would that girl have told us to help her if she died? If you hadn't come here today, we might have moved too. ”

· · · Was there such a story? Yoohyun smiled bitterly.

Fontaina was as light-hearted as a joke, but he would have really moved.

Even if they were, there is a good chance that they would have been bothered by each other's movements. I'm glad they came before they moved somehow.

“Did you find anything out? ”

Sitting in front of Fontaina, Yoohyun asked.

Then Ponterna blurred his face.

“There was no harvest as big as you expected. “

“But I see you've got something. ”

Otherwise, there is no way he will come. You must have something to tell me.

As Yoohyun expected, Ponterna showed a positive will.

“He wasn't just playing with us, so he picked up a lot of stories. Actually, I came to see you to tell you this. Somehow, it took me a while to wait. ”

Yoohyun smiled awkwardly. I waited for a member of the Investigation Squad to bring Eris.

It's an apology. They must have had something originally planned.

Fontaina opened her mouth with a serious atmosphere.

“First of all, the trail of Fernée, Fernée's sister, will be hard to find inside Defera. Maybe she's hiding amongst adventurers or something. ”

“Hmm · · ·. Right?“

The easiest assumption was that Ferné had hidden himself among the adventurers. This was one of the predictions that came out when we talked to Ponterna in Asvarda.

But he declares that he is not. Then we have to find it outside. Rather, I could say that this is more annoying. I have no idea where he might be.

“From now on, what I have to say is that we have no purpose and no relationship. It would be nice to just keep an eye on it. We've been researching and hearing stories. ”

“Yes, please. “

“There's been a strange air flow among adventurers lately. Especially between Demibeasts and Orcs. ”

“· · · Ah. I know that, too. ”

“Yes? Is it because of the war that things got so bad between the two races? ”

“Yes, I overheard it somehow. ”

That was all I heard from Eris. That's why the Demibeasts like Aaron came out.

It was Aaron who committed the act of revenge in the maze.

“Is that so? But they say it's getting worse recently. The story I heard from a Demibeast is that he may be at war with the Orcs again. ”

“· · · Again? “

“I feel so overwhelmed that I can't accept such defeat among young Demibeasts. Maybe it's because you lost the last war so useless. ”

“It's futile. Is there a special reason for their defeat? “

“Hmmm · ·. He said it sounded like an excuse in the first place, but it didn't start well. ”

What do you mean, it didn't start well? Yoohyun asked for more explanation.

“There seems to be an important fortress that starts the war and prevents the invasion of the Orcs. ”

”Shouldn't the fort be as well prepared as it is important? ”

Fontaina laughed at the meal. It's like this is fun.

”I don't think there was a proper supply of weapons in that stronghold. I don't know if you know it, but the recent war on the ground was more than 100 years old. The point I'm not ready for is that I have to break through. ”

War on the ground was forbidden. So even if a fight happens, it only ends in a dispute. But if such conflicts continued to build up for decades, they were forced to develop into wars.

But is it too late to prepare for war because it is so peaceful?

It's a stupid story. Yoohyun thought it was a story he couldn't even feel compassion for.

”The first defenses that were so important were twisted, and then the front was pushed like a wave. Before we could fight properly, we couldn't help negotiating because everyone was occupied. ”

That would have been a humiliating contract. I don't know exactly what the Orcs would have asked for, but it must have been bad for the Demibeasts.

”But here's another interesting thing. ”

I got a preference for Ponterna's mouth. I wanted to be happy.

Perhaps conflicts between races were welcome on the human side.

”The Demibeasts are currently in a dispute with the Dwarves, not just the Orcs. There are few who blame the Dwarves for the defeat of the last war. ”

“· · · Dwarf? ”

Why is Dwarf coming out of here? Yoohyun decided to listen first.

“The Dwarves say there's a war between the two factions, and they sell weapons with excitement. ”

Dwarves are sometimes called the clan of craftsmen. Of course, it was because of their dexterity. War requires many weapons. So both factions must have ordered weapons from the Dwarves.

It's not like two tribes don't have the skills to make weapons. But it was only natural to use better weapons for war. It's no strange story that the Dwarves have sold their weapons excitedly.

“But the important thing here is that the Dwarves didn't sell weapons to the two tribes. As you know, the dwarves are the ones who built and traded weapons, right? Selling weapons to two factions just before the war broke out is not a strange story. ”

“Yes, it is. ”

The Dwarves' forges are rushing into the labyrinth cities on the ground right now. In that regard, adventurers floating around the maze were big customers and money lines for the dwarves.

They usually sell weapons and armor, so there's no reason not to trade in the war.

And there were no craftsmen as brilliant as the Dwarves who made the same armor every day during a time when peace was constantly being maintained.

Fontaina narrowed her eyes.

“What I need to know here is that the Orcs were properly armed for the contract, but they didn't keep the contract with the Demibeasts. I heard you ordered a Horn Bow made of Iron Flow.. Well, you don't have to know that. ”

It's called a Horn Bow. Somehow Yoohyun remembered one thing.

It was the will of Iron Horn. The Iron Horn was also with Lorelai.

’Thinking about it, it was because of the Iron Flow that the dwarves were poking around. ’

Iron Horn's Will was an important ingredient in making weapons. In particular, none of them were as good as the horns of Iron Horn in making Horn Bows. I think he needed a lot of numbers.

I think so, and Fontaina spills her words in a low voice.

“· · · Can't you smell something? Like the Dwarves deliberately raised the Orc's hand. ”

“· · · That's a mistake. ”

“It's no wonder the Demibeasts have doubts. Rather reasonable doubt. In fact, the place where I ordered the Horn Bow was the first fortress that the Orcs fell from. ”

No wonder the Demibeasts have doubts about this exquisitely woven situation. Yoohyun also thinks so, but wonders if the Dwarves really intended it.

It was true that the dwarves were trying to save the horn of Iron Flow.

For that, he didn't come around Lorelai to the dean's pocket in a locked space full of bombs. It was an ancient item that could not be made at this time. Even though Yoohyun didn't see it himself.

It was Misha, Irisha's sister, who saw the scene of the Iron Horn massacre. She explained that innumerable bombs came out of her pocket.

Ponterna coughed once.

“Anyway . There's an unusual atmosphere among adventurers, so be careful. Especially the Orcs and the Dwarves. It may seem strange to other Demibeasts. ”

· · · Used by Fontaina, Yoohyun thinks it's too late.

I helped the Orcs as they came here. I fought with the famous Demibeasts.

Yoohyun nodded with a bitter smile.
