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

Episode Two Thousand Six Hundred Ninety-Two: Air Cities (3)

It was only a few hours later that the Ulknakt stepped down near the foot of Mount Lyov.

When I saw Lyohan, the sun, which should have been overhead, was no longer setting on the other side of the west, burning red. Dusk is approaching. However, Setuna and the others disembarked from the ship and headed towards Yamagate Street, a settlement held at the foot of Mount Lyov.

Mountain Gate Street was situated on the south side of Mount Lyov, with huge rock walls and gates separating it from the north and south. We need to go through the gates to get into Yamagata Street, but before the Great Destruction, it was always open during the day. Mountain Gate Street was the point of contact in Lyohan, and as such, access to Mountain Gate Street itself was free. That's probably why the atmosphere of Yamagata Street is different from that of Mountain City and the Aerial Capital. Because of the intense movement of outsiders, there is a free and relaxed air.

However, only Mountain Gate Street was freely accessible to outsiders, and visiting Mountain City and the Aerial Capital required permission to enter the mountain here.

Lyohan is the only independent autonomous city that exists within the sphere of power of the Vashtarian Community. The history of independence was unforgivable to one of the Vashtarian Communities, or Vashtara followers, and few made Lyohan their enemy. but there are never many Vashtara believers who visit the mountain city created in cavities in the mountains or the aerial capital that urbanized the ruins of the top, even if the money dropped by such believers was a small part of Lyohan's source of funding.

The main entrance to Mountain Gate Street, with such a history, was now tightly closed.

Since the Great Destruction, there has been no such thing as a visitor from outside Lyohan, and there must be no such thing as children jumping out of the city. Inside Lyohan, fine. The guardian kingdom protects both adults and children. But outside the city, outside the contiguity, it was extremely dangerous, and even large adults were not allowed to go outside in a detour.

"Will the gate remain tightly closed?"

"It doesn't look like I've been forced to open it... so what happened?

"You're going to look into that."

The chill of Faria's words made just Miliu look sinister, too. Miliu also cares about Lyohan, but it's more serious for Faria than that. In some cases, it may change her outlook on life. That much is still happening.

"But how do you open it? You can't beat me up."

Next to Sheila holding her head, Lem let her take it for granted.

"Reference sign, open this gate"

"Yes, seniors"

Urk responds with a breath of abalone.

The Demonic Crystal doll touched the gate as she stood in front of a huge iron gate. The main gate of Mountain Gate Street is closed by two thick iron doors. Originally, it is the human role in the gate that moves the gateway, and by using a mechanism erected on the gate, it is said that it can be moved lightly even by the human hand. But it is harder to open it from the outside than it is closed by that mechanism, let alone out of the hands of man.

But Urk pushed gently, left and right, the iron doors that were not supposed to be frightening in the hands of man, and Setuna and the others raised their exclamation unexpectedly.

That would be a Demon Crystal doll, that's a number one body, something like that.

"That's junior."

"Not for seniors."

Urk went for granted in response to Rem's praise. Urk seems genuinely to admire the servant Lem as a senior, and that also shows up in the relationship between the two.

"No, thanks, Urk. I didn't have to mess with it."

"Really, thank you"

"No......"

If Setuna and Faria praised him, Urk reacted with few words. Maybe it stinks. She's faceless and voiceless, but it's not like she doesn't have feelings. Rather, the suspicion that Urk is more emotional than human beings even begins to arise in Setuna. Don't you just not know because you can't express your emotions?

Setuna and the others, who broke through the main gate by such Urk's activism, began investigating Yamagata Street as the sun approached.

The main entrance was forcefully opened, so what only reacted and should be, but there was no response from inside Yamagata Street.

The only six are Setuna, Faria, Miliu, Rem, Sheila and Urk because they decided they needed to keep their power on the ship as well, beyond knowing what was there. You can't take out Leona and the other non-combatants. The very protection of non-combatants, Mayura God will do, but just protecting them cannot drive away the outside enemy. We need combat personnel.

The silence of Mountain Gate Street becomes more serious as the shine of the sunset increases and the shadows become darker. Although Setuna and the others even used their subpoena armies to intensify their search efforts, they couldn't even grasp what the silence in Yamagata Street was derived from.

I don't see any of them.

Lem, who summoned the Five Reapers, is right. One child, I don't see. Whether you peek indoors or let Reaper sneak indoors, you won't find anyone. This is exactly what a stuffed shell would be.

"Why isn't anybody here?"

"Damn, what's going on?"

After the search, Faria opened her mouth as everyone held their head.

"What if... what if. What if, for whatever reason, the aerial capital vanished, so there could be no more inhabitants of Yamagata Street?

"... it's a strange story that only residents disappear, regardless of whether Yamagata Street or all of them disappear."

"Maybe he escaped to Mountain City, or something?

"That's... that could be a lot."

"You want to go?"

Everyone nodded, going all the way, for the city of Mountain.

But in the end, the same thing happened to the city of Mountain.

Likewise, it was a mushroom.

There was no one child, and the world dominated by silence and silence seemed as though time had stopped. Moreover, it was unusual to have the remnants, that is, the sense of life, that showed that one lived there until the day before, like Yamagata Street.

In Mountain Gate Street, for example, we were driven by the expectation that the wash had not been taken in while it was being dried outside, that the ingredients being cooked had been left intact, that the demonic crystal lights of the houses in Mountain City had remained on, and that whenever we found such remnants of life, someone might be there, but in the end, without seeing one, Setuna's search activities ended.

"I'm pretty sure one of them lived here until now."

"Right. You lived there."

"That suddenly disappeared"

"With some power, disappeared? But why?

"What happened..."

Setuna looked out for the township lit by the demonic crystal lamp of Mountain City as she raised her distressed voice that would suppress with reason the mind that Faria was now going crazy. The urban compartment built in the giant cavity of Mount Lyov is just as much a product of fantasy as it is an exaggeration. The darkness of the cave and the blue and white light of the Demonic Crystal lamp make those emotions more attractive. It seemed so much more like nature to me than a single cousin there.

Lyohan himself is like a mass of mystery and fantasy. Perhaps it is only natural that a fraction of that mountain city should be so fantastic.

"Let's go to the air capital."

Everyone nodded without a voice to Setuna's suggestion.
