Armed Summoners - Black Spears and the Brave Men of the Other World

Episode One Hundred Sixty: A Messenger from Lyohan (I)

The story goes back to November 26th.

Setsuna arrived at the Dragon Palace with Leongando and others.

Six days after King Sail's crowning ceremony in Bandor, King Abad capital. Below Leongando, Gandhian officials returned to Gandhian land without any shortage.

When we arrived at the Dragon House, Setsuna was a fierce welcome, but after reaching the Heavenly Wheel Palace, Setsuna laughed bitterly when it was found that it was the administrator, Danedge-Bunell, who had apparently plotted it. This means that the people of the Dragon House did not wholeheartedly welcome it, it was due to the planting of Dan Edge.

"I was going to make Uncle Setuna's heart certificate to His Majesty a little better."

is the valve of the dan edge.

It will be his care, his concern.

Setsuna, while thanking Dan Edge, of course, said that in the future, we don't have to do this. Thankfully, it was also a shame. Especially for being more cheerful than Leongand, embarrassment stood first.

The Leongands were due to leave the Dragon House the next day, but the Setunas had decided to remain in the Dragon House, as they had decided long before they left the Gandion. Of course, I'm taking it to Leongand. No matter how much Uncle Lian, there is no such thing as a sudden stay in the Dragon House.

Staying in the Dragon House was Miliu's desire and her primary purpose was to fulfill her wishes, but besides that, she also has the soul and nerve to do her job as the leader of the Dragon House. Most of all.

"Uncle Setsuna left me with no problem at all if I didn't have to do anything for you."

It goes without saying that a word of relentless Dan Edge has indefinitely diminished Setuna's motivation.

Speaking of what Setsuna and the others had done first when they arrived in the Dragon House, it was a direct trip to Heavenly Wheel Palace. Tianhuan Palace is a historic building representing the ancient capital Ryufu and a place known as the center of Ryufu. There are a total of five palaces, one from east to west and one from north to south, mainly the Thai Spiritual Palace, each showing an authoritative and enjoyable appearance.

Of which, the Tae Spiritual Palace, which is the central building and is normally used by the main setuna of the Dragon House, was to be used as a residence for Leongando. This was the same as when he was on his way to Bandor, where Setsuna set up his own room in one of the halls of Xuanlong, disrespecting the fact that he would stay in the same hall as the king. There are more available rooms in Heavenly Wheel Palace than in the former. That trend was notable, especially since the Heavenly Wheel Palace became the property of Setuna, and it was no exaggeration to say that rooms other than those used by Setuna officials were mostly vacant. Which means there's no problem using any of the rooms.

Anyway, Setsuna headed to Xuanlong Palace when she sent Leongand to the Temple of Tai. I wanted to rest in Lord Xuanlong's own room.

However, an unexpected situation awaited Setsuna, who tried to reach the passage connecting the Tae Spirit Palace and the Xuanlong Palace.

"Where are you going, ignoring me?"

The thorny voice sounded familiar. Looking back, a boy who had left behind his childhood also stood against the walls of the aisle of the Tae Spirit Temple. I knew who he was at first sight. Malik-Majik. He is one of the four great heavenly samurai who follows Lyohan's goddess of war, Faria-Baldish, whose overwhelming strength is vividly burned in Setuna's memory.

"Malik!?

"Ignore anything, why are you here?

Miliu asks in surprise. On that occasion, besides Setuna, there were faces such as Miliu, Faria, Ruufa, Rem, Ragna and Urk. Sheila and the Black Beasts entered the Purple Dragon Palace, and the Sydney Battle Squad is not here because they entered the Double Dragon Palace. I just came to accompany Leongand. There was also Leongand's opinion as to whether or not to follow too many things, and Setsuna ordered two teams of private units to wait in their respective halls. Sheila seemed dissatisfied, but Esq was happy that this would slow her down.

"Why, it's up to you because you have business to do."

Malik said, naturally. The same attitude was no different than when we met in Kruselk.

"Well, I guess so. Who is Lyohan's four heavenly samurai on business for?

"To little Faria."

"To me...?

"Yeah. A very important story"

Malik, so to speak, looked rarely serious. That's the only thing that changed the atmosphere when he looked a little serious, with the impression that he was always slight and just had a look that he didn't know what he was thinking. So, I guess. Setuna admitted that her chest would be bothered. When I looked at Faria sideways, she also had an anxious look on her face.

Malik-Majik, the four heavenly samurai, has business to do by name in Faria. There was no doubt that something related to Faria had happened. The air in the aisle itself made me nervous.

"In short, the Great Faria has fallen. The goddess of war."

"Fallen......!? My grandmother......!?

It was also natural for Faria to lose her words after the shock.

"Master Faria!?

"You're lying..."

Even Setuna and Miliu were shocked. Both Rem and Ruufa. If you know Faria-Valdish, it would be a natural reaction. Ragna and Urk were the only things left to talk about, but that's also something we can't help. Neither Ragna nor Urk knew what the Kruselk war was about, nor did they meet Farya-Baldish or the four great heavenly samurai. Even if I heard from Malik, honestly, there would be nothing to say.

The Great Faria, Fariah-Baldish, is the fruitful grandmother of Faria, so much so that in Lyohan she is regarded as a goddess of war. He is one of Azmaria-Altemax's high brothers and has been cited as one of the best armed summoners from the dawn of armed summoning to this day. More importantly, he is the supreme leader of Lyohan and the person who holds Lyohan together. If such a person has fallen, it is not the noise where it is impacted.

"I'm not lying. Since about September's head, I've been worried because I used to say I wasn't feeling well, but as soon as I got into this month, they fell... It didn't matter... he's still lying on the floor. Not a very good trend."

Malik didn't break his mysterious face while he was saying that. The voice is also unbelievably low from the usual runoff and heavy as if it were going to sink everywhere. Setuna laid her eyes down, remembering the sight of Malik as sweet as Fariah-Baldish. I can only imagine what Faria-Valdish was like to him, etc., but that imagination alone had something approaching my chest.

"True...... what is it?

Faria asks carefully. The voice was trembling. Naturally. For Faria, the Great Faria was her grandmother and flesh parent before she was a goddess of war.

"It's true. That's why I'm here. To take you."

"Take me... with you?

"I wanted you to meet little Faria."

"So, from Lyohan to this point?

Faria stared into Malik's eyes. I look away, but the look looks oddly meticulous. Miliu was holding her hand. I guess I got worried about how anxious Faria looked.

"I'm in a hurry."

He was casual, but not easy to travel from Lyohan to Ryofu.

Lyohan is an autonomous city that exists not in the group of small continental states but in the area of power of the Vashtarian Community, which puts the northern part of the continent under its control. It is hoped that the distance from Ryufu to Lyohan is many times greater than the distance from Ryufu to Gandion, considering also the risk of the road, etc., the outbound journey alone will take several months. I guess being able to travel such a distance in less than a few days is about Malik-Majik. He has inherited Summoned Armed Ravens Feather from Quor-Ethen, who specializes in long distance travel. Ravensfeather's abilities combined with Malik's ability as an armed summoner. It could be as simple as coming and going between Ryufu and Lyohan.

Malik had also drawn more power than Setuna, enclosed in black spears. Regardless, Setuna and Quor cannot compare their abilities as armed summoners. At any rate, Malik must also be able to use Ravens Feather.

"Because I don't know how much time I have left"

"Oh no... don't say such ominous things"

I glanced at Malik as Faria held her own chest. Malik doesn't change Faria's expression.

"I don't want to either. But it's true."

"I said I did, don't you think I could think of a way to put it?

"Changing the way you say it doesn't change anything. How much you decorate with words doesn't overshadow reality"

"I know that too..."

Miliu still seemed to try to eat down, but the fact that Faria pulled her hand forced her to pull the words in. Faria smiled, staring at Miliu.

"It's okay, Miliu. Thanks for your attention."

"Faria... oh, I'm nothing..."

Miliu turned away, unable to stand Faria's smile.

Faria had looked at her for a while and smiled, but when she eventually turned her attention to Malik, the grin had disappeared from that look.

"Dear Malik, do you know why the Great Faria has fallen?

"Of course, I know. What are we gonna do when we hear that? You're gonna decide not to go, depending on why?

"In that case..."

"Well, you want to know. Okay, I get it. Teach."

Malik said slowly when he controlled Faria from shouting.

"The cause of Lord Great Faria's fall is not illness or anything. It's because of old age."

"Old...?

"Yes. Old. One is old. Big Faria's a human being, too. Naturally, I'm getting old."

Talking quietly about Malik's appearance, even though he is a teenage boy, somehow he should not have looked like something that lived for decades or hundreds of years.

Setuna listened to Malik as she closed her eyes.

"If you are ill, you will be cured. If it heals, it will get better and better. But old is not something that can be stopped. Time never stops. There's no way I can rewind it. One, older than he was born, ages with time, turns to death. It's only natural as an organism. But so."

"So give me..."

"Yes. I want you to meet me. Because you are one of those few family members. At least."

"... I 'm-"

Faria, separating words, has turned her attention to this one. In my moist eyes, I see strays. Setuna instantly understood what she was lost in.

Faria must have thought she couldn't go home to Lyohan. Faria has previously broken the decision of the Mountain Protection Conference to govern and run Lyohan. By attacking Azmaria despite being removed from the Azmaria crusade, Faria was denied her relationship with Lyohan. As a result, Faria lost her place, but Setuna reached out to her like that. I also have a promise to Quor.

Setuna had to protect The Lion's Tail as her place.
