BLACK MOON - Black Magic War Beginning with Jailbreak - [Full story illustration available]

"Well, let's talk about waiting..."

"Oh, I've been waiting."

Once the conversation was over, Leon was finally trying to get to the bottom of it. I kicked Max out of here for a reason because of what I'm about to do.

"Faust, have you ever been upstairs at Knights headquarters?

"Is there a room besides the bickering room and the captain's office?

"Naturally. The Knights headquarters is the second biggest building in the world, even if it's an elixir with a big building."

"So... what do you say upstairs?

The largest building in Elixis. Needless to say, that's Castle Solomon. At Knights headquarters, Bell has only stepped into the colloquial room and the captain's office.

"The second floor is equipped for superiors. entertainment facilities, training rooms, and meeting rooms. It's a realm where the lower knights will never set foot."

Knights headquarters had a space at one end where Knights members were not allowed to enter.

"What's a superior?

"It's about high-ranking Knights like the M-12. Basically, only the M-12 can go upstairs."

Only superiors, that is, Knights of the M-12 class, are allowed on the second floor of the ban on entry. In the first place, it is unnatural that there should be a restricted area at the Knights headquarters. It implied that the Knights had secrets that should not be known to the Knights at one end.

"Then Mr. Knight can go in, but we can't go in, can we?"

"... you've used stairs and elevators to get to Ship Port, too, right? But neither the stairs nor the elevator should be connected to the second floor. The lower knights can't go upstairs, but I can go in."

Leon appealed to Bell to be able to go upstairs, worrying that he was also putting a "Mr.” on Knight. Unlike Jake and Knight, for some reason Leon hasn't earned any respect from Bell.

"What? Why are you letting me in?

"I'm offering this wonderful brains and inventions for the Knights, aren't I? It's only natural that you get the right service."

But Bell didn't know why Leon would be treated special. Leon is the brainchild that supports the Knights' technology. He is also involved in the development of airships, whose contribution is immeasurable.

"I see you're amazing. So, what are you trying to say after all?

"The problem is that conference room."

"... I mean?

"Only the superiors are in place and the council meets frequently upstairs. There's a council that no other Knights will ever know about."

"So what are you trying to say, ⁉?"

Leon talks about the darkness of the Unknown Knights, but Bell still didn't understand what he was trying to say. For Belle, Leon's story is hard to get around.

"Since then, I have been watching over the suspicious movements of the Knights. This is not the only case. There's got to be another reason why the Knights are collecting Black Sarteens."

"What do you mean, another reason?

"Stop the forces that join the devil from gathering Black Sarteen. That's supposedly the purpose of the Knights collecting Black Sarteen, but we don't know the truth. What if the Knights themselves are an organization that is part of the devil?

"Are you trying to tell me that the Knights are collecting Black Sarteens for the devil? What are you gonna do, collect some Black Sartain stuff?

Leon has long questioned the activities of the Knights. Though the Knights seemed like a good organization for the development of black witchcraft (Grimoire), the rescue of black witchcraft (Grigori), and security activities in the surrounding area, Leon thought differently.

"There are rumors that are fruitfully whispered in the world. There are rumors that the final war (Ragnarok) will break out in the not-too-distant future. Maybe it's just an end-of-life thought, but I don't think it's a story to miss"

"The Final War (Ragnarok)... The Trump Circus guy said it too..."

"In short, we need a more powerful Black Mage (Grigori) to survive the coming final war."

Organization to gather powerful Black Mages (Grigori) in preparation for the final war (Ragnarok). For Leon, the Knights of Black Mages (Grigori) looked that way.

"Then it's just like the Trump Circus!

"Neither the Knights nor the Trump Circus have changed much. Rather, the Knights are worse off. Faust, could you ask for one?

"What is it?

The number one purpose for Leon to tell Bell the face behind the Knights was that. To get a favor, he taught Bell the black rumors of an unknown Knights.

"I've talked a lot about the Knights so far, but all of that hasn't been out of my conjecture yet. So I want proof to determine my hypothesis"

"Would you say it more plainly?

Leon's story is always roundabout. Talking to him, Bell felt itchy.

"Instead of me, I want you to come and steal the council meeting that's going to take place upstairs at headquarters."

"Ha ⁉ Why don't you go? Well, didn't I get to go upstairs in the first place?

Bell opened his eyes unexpectedly. Knights at one end are not allowed to enter the second floor. That's what I just heard directly from Leon. Bell couldn't hide his confusion at Leon's request, which contradicts previous stories.

"I have to head to Adford right away. So go instead. If you become me, it's possible to go upstairs. If you transform into me and have my Knights ID, you will be able to enter without difficulty"

With that said, Leon handed Bell a "real fake” book and a Knights ID. Leon prioritized his brother's safety over revealing the face behind the Knights.

"What... didn't you have time to go upstairs even before you got here?

"Of course he's gone! But things are about timing. They're trying not to tell me important stories when I'm here."

The ultimate natural question Bell has. That's why Leon didn't go upstairs before he came to Snow Cliff.

But he had already taken to the second floor. Even when it comes to superiors, Leon seems to be treated differently than the M-12.

Then it doesn't make sense for me to go.

"I told you? The timing is important. Doctor Bruxen's death is something not to be missed for the Knights. Just because I'm here doesn't mean you won't talk about it."

The timing was crucial to eavesdropping on the contents of the secret council. Just like Leon, Doctor Bruxen, who has contributed deeply to the Knights, is dead. That was an event that could never be ignored by the Knights, and it was abundantly possible that an important Council would be held following Bell's mission report.

"... but do you delude the Knights eyes with this?

"No problem. That Knights ID proves you're Leon Hausent."

Contrary to Bell, who was becoming skeptical, Leon was confident in this operation. If it is only a transformation due to “real fakes," there is a risk that the M-12 will find out who you are, but if you are in possession of your Knights ID, that risk is also considerably lower.

"... I get it. I don't owe you anything."

"Great. Okay, I asked for the rest."

I still couldn't get rid of my skepticism, Belle, but I decided to take Leon's request. Bell owed Leon a battle in the middle of the top of the snow (Snow). He wanted to settle the debt.

"Mr. Lili, you're looking into how to break the" sleeping curse, "aren't you?

"Yes, that's why I'm here."

When Leon and Bell have finished their conversation, Silvo cuts out another story. Silvo hadn't forgotten the first conversation he had with Lili.

"I did a little research on" Sleep Curse ”.“ The Curse of Sleep ”is what puts man in a semi-permanent sleep with the power of the Devil Mere. Which demons are involved, and what does that curse do? We knew that, so we could easily identify the antidote."

"........................ is it true ⁉ ⁉ ⁉"

Lili, hearing Silvo's words, smiles overflowing. Coming all the way to Rottervania, Lili was finally approaching the solution of the "curse of sleep”. Will she soon be able to reunite with her awakened mother from sleep, as Baba Fangus predicted?

"Yes, the name of the medicine is" Dawn Moon Examination. "It's not as powerful as the" Buster Potion, "but it's possible enough to awaken a human falling asleep by Mere's magic."

"Dawn Moon Examination..."

That was Lili's first name to hear. The Vinter Chamber of Commerce was knowledgeable about magic drugs. Especially if magic drugs that can break curses are commonly traded.

"But dawn moon research also requires moon flowers for ingredients. The ingredients of the Buster Potion are rarely available except for the flowers of the moon, but it's easy to find out when the Dawn Moon has all the flowers of the moon."

"Do you need moon flowers..."

Silvo wanted to emphasize that "Dawn Moon Examination” was easier to make than "Buster Potion", but Lili's head still had a strong impact on the word "Moon Flower”.

"The flowers of the moon at the top of the snow (Snow) will only bloom in 10 years, but somewhere outside the Kingdom of Serbia, there is a good chance that the flowers of the moon will bloom"

I mean, you can wait 10 years or go abroad.

Silvo, who saw Lili's cloudy expression, promptly encouraged her.

But Bell said sarcasm with a mean grin. With the prophecy of Baba Fangus, Lili just thought that the “curse of sleep” hanging on her mother was something that would soon be broken. That's where new difficulties appeared. I can't help being depressed.

"Sorry, that's all I can do... this is a list of ingredients for" Dawn Moon Examination "and how to combine them"

Knowing that Lili had been depressed in her own words, Silvo handed her a list of ingredients for the "Dawn Moon Examination" and a piece of paper that had written the formula.

"I didn't think you'd know how to break the curse! Thank you."

"I'd like to give you the flowers of the moon if you can… I hope that the curse hanging from Lili's mother will be lifted as soon as possible"

And Lili, realizing that she had made Silvo pay attention, gave him an obviously bright look.

Sure, she's depressed that difficulties are still awaiting her, but Silvo, for one, is the one who found out the solution to the "curse of sleep”. Silvo, who traded all sorts of magic drugs, was able to identify the key to breaking the "curse of sleep”.

"Thank you." I hope Abby wakes up as soon as possible, too! Because I want Abby to make lots of fun memories from now on... "

The Moon Flowers obtained by the Vinter Chamber of Commerce are used to make Buster Potions. And that magic potion (Buster Potion) should totally kick Glasharabolus out of Abby's body while she's asleep and wake her up.

"Do you know your daughter, too?

"Yeah, Abby and I met at the Trump Circus. Erna is Abby's friend."

Erna was surprised that Lili knew Abby.

"Your friends are such horrible."

"That feeling... could Elna, have you been talking to Abby with respect?

"Naturally, you shouldn't be rude to your daughter..."

Abby wasn't a “friend” to Erna. For the Vinter Chamber of Commerce, the Summerbell family is a good customer, and Abby is a good lady. Elna had never spent much time with Abby, but the relationship was one that came more firmly when she said "lady and servant” than when she said friend.

"Abby must have wanted Erna to be my friend. Wasn't it a little sad that a girl of my generation would tell me she was a daughter, or that she would talk with respect all the time...?

Lili was unaware of Erna's presence until she came to the village of Keyash. That means Abby didn't tell Lili about Erna's presence.

Erna could have been the one to light Abby's dark, lonely life. But before she knew it, Erna might have built a wall against Abby.

…………

"Ah... sorry, that sounds great..."

Having heard Lili's thoughts, Erna silenced herself for a while. Lili doesn't know about Abby's relationship with Erna. Lili immediately apologized, wondering if what she was saying might have hindered Erna's eclampsia.

Behind such Lili's thoughts, there was another reason for Erna to be silent. She wasn't in a bad mood with Lili's remarks, she was thinking back to the days she spent with Abby.

The Vinter Chamber of Commerce, which often received requests for work from the Summerbell family. Naturally, there were few opportunities for Erna and Abby to meet each other in the face. Young girls, normally, are quick to crack, but Abby and Erna were different. Abby had been trying to get along with her since she got to know Erna.

But Erna wasn't. As a young girl, she understood the relationship between the Summerbell and Vinter families. Seeing how her parents behaved towards Mr. and Mrs. Summerbell, Erna recognized Abby as an eye-catcher from the beginning.

Of course, I had a desire to tell Elna that I wanted to get along with her just like Abby did. But the feeling of reverence for Erna's Abby didn't move it into action.

“Terrible," “no extermination." Using those words, Erna had said no to Abby's invitation several times. Having heard Lili's objective opinion, Erna was reflecting on Abby's face when she was turned down the invitation. As Lili said, Erna remembered that Abby's face looked a little lonely then.

"Haha...... Lili, don't worry about it. Erna's just a little confused."

Instead of Erna, who never opens her mouth, Caitri said so one word. I guess Caitri knew Elna wasn't in a bad mood for Lili.

"So, shall we go home? Max is waiting for you."

"It's time for me to head to Adford, too"

The story of the Vinter Chamber of Commerce and Lili was just one paragraph away, and that's how Bell cut it out. Now that Snowman (Yeti) and Moon Flowers are cleared, there's no reason to stay here long.

"Thank you so much this time. Please accept this as a thank you at least."

"What... this?

Silvo offered “something” to the Bells trying to leave the Vinter Chamber of Commerce. It was a red, clear stone. That stone, about half the size of a flat hand, resembled Leon's fire-guided stone slightly.

"Hmm, red moon tears? Faust, can I have that?

"Oh, I don't mind..."

Unlike Bell, Leon knew who “something” Silvo had given him. The stone was named "Tears of the Red Moon." The word "Tears of the Moon" appeared in the conversation that Arosha and Belzebub were having when they took off Rabbitney. The Tears of the Moon, which is said to have something to do with Curius, should be a fairly rare substitute.

"Thanks to you, we can complete the Buster Potion. Thank you so much."

"I urge you never to speak out about the secrets of the Knights"

To Caitri, who bows his head, Leon said so. The Vinter Chamber of Commerce should have heard Bell and Leon talking about the Knights' unknown back face. It's not good for the other Knights to know that Bell and Leon are suspicious of the Knights.

Silvo and Caitri, who understood the seriousness of what Bell and Leon were about to step in, nodded without saying anything. First of all, there won't be any leaks from them.

"I'll be a black magician as strong as Bell."

"Whoa! Come on!

Killian speaks to Bell, who was still about to leave Vinter Chamber of Commerce headquarters. The boy had a good look at Bell's bravery on Snow Mountain. Bell, who had defeated one snowman after another (Yeti) in Snow Mountain, had become a longing for Killian.

"Um... thanks lady... but when Abby wakes up, we'll make lots of fun memories together!

"... yep, yep, yep."

And Elna, who had previously shut her mouth, finally uttered the word. Lili's words moved Erna's mind. Abandoning the wall of names she called "reverence," she decided to lean against Abby's heart. Seeing such a change in Erna, Lili had a sunny smile on her face.

At this time Lili was thinking of Abby and Erna laughing at each other amicably.
