Mr. Leo was actually a woman, and his name was Mr. Leona.
I made a terrible mistake, and I desperately apologized to her who was in shock and managed to calm her down.
"... So, Usat. You fought with Awakened Karon?"
"Yeah, well... for once"
I nod at Norn's words, who gave me a slightly tired look at the earlier noise.
Even though we fought, even though the snowstorm blew us away and we couldn't move, we just tried to beat him back.
I don't know if I can call it roughly a fight, but if my information is useful, you should tell me.
"I feel the same way about Leo...... Na. The horns and tails had grown made the atmosphere even rougher. Maybe the next time I fight, I'll lose my strength too..."
In fact, even before he woke up, he had more arm power than I did.
If he is also gaining strength, the only part of the current situation that beats him is the speed of his feet. Then you have to train to improve your speed and muscle strength by thinking about the next relative possibility.
As he put his arms together and contemplated his future training policy, Master Norn tilted his neck.
"Am I hearing this wrong? Now it sounded like Usat had mutual power with him before he woke up."
"... Ha!?"
And, shit.
What a grave. I should have wrapped it in more oblate and said it.
No matter how much, you can't just say the fact that you strained each other with your arms.
"... No way, it's the Aya of the Word.
"Huh, you don't have to be modest, Usat. I've been watching with these eyes. Where you are overwhelming Karon with only physical abilities..."
Even if he tried to delude himself, he was corrected by Mr. Leona, who was regaining his composure.
Did Mr. Leona recall the sight of me and Mr. Caron fighting, with a biting grin and a powerful grip on his fist?
"Even though he held me, he ran on the ice like a wind and just pulled away Karon...! I even showed him the departure of dodging the descending ice spear unleashed by Karon, even splashing fragments with his bare hands...!"
"Les, Mr. Leona...?"
"I was turning to cover and watching him fight, but I can tell you that my crisis-sensing ability to almost perfectly avoid an axe that wields endlessly in front of me, my agility in avoiding it, is particularly human apart!"
You have some awesome fever...?
I appreciate you introducing me, but I don't feel like I have to explain anything that much. It's supposed to be true for once, but it embarrasses me to ask again......
Lady Norn, slightly caught in Mr. Leona's hot valve, opened her eyes and shifted her gaze to me.
"I didn't think you were the only one, but the kingdom of Ringle has sent a hell of a human being... It's obviously not normal to just hang out with Karon and her body in that condition. Could you be from the rumored lifeguard?"
"... Yes"
This guy, like Mr. Gladys and Master Lucas, doesn't seem to know about Rose, but he seems to know about the lifeguard rumors.
... I'm a little scared to hear about that lifeguard rumor though.
"It's settled."
……?
Master Norn nodded once when he looked at me.
I have just a few doubts about the words she whined about.
"I finally know why he expected you to come."
"Him? Who is it?"
The word "he” has been used by Mr. Norn since the beginning.
At first I thought you meant Mr. Caron or Mr. Leo, but obviously not.
It's as if we expect to visit here and know what's going on with Mr. Karon.
"I'll see you now....... Leona"
Master Norn rose from the throne and spoke to Mr. Leona.
"Let Usat and the others meet him. You're with me."
"So, what about Karon?"
"Yeah, we'll have to reveal everything."
Mr. Leona looked slightly at Lady Norn's words, but as soon as he returned to his serious expression, he moved right next to us.
Along with that, Master Norn walked up to us.
"Dear Norn, what the hell..."
"Originally, a secret place in Miarak that only shows people in a special capacity. I'll take you to that place."
Secret place...?
Is there a place like that where Master Norn says "he"?
"It is the one who created the armor of Karon - the sword of the brave man who defeated the Demon King - who will meet you in that place."
!?
Who created the weapon of the brave!?
That's someone who's also the producer of the knife I have right now... right?
"Please come in for a moment. How many centuries ago was the brave man who defeated the demon king? A normal person should be able to live for such a long time..."
Reminds me of Nair a little behind me.
I can't do it if I'm human, but it's possible if I'm a demon with intelligence and life expectancy that surpasses people like Nair.
"That's right. From now on, it will not be human to meet you."
To me he answered, Norn slapped the floor three times with a cane in his hand.
Then a blue text emerges on the ground and disappears so that your feet sink into the ground. I turn my face toward Nair.
She had her hands on the floating floor of a harsh face and blue writing.
"Nair, what's this?"
"Yeah, magic. Besides, it's very old and highly hidden. I can't believe I didn't even notice... you're a pretty good operator down there. Regrettably, he handles magic more ingeniously than I do."
Our bodies go down through the floor, even as we dive into our voices as much as possible and talk to Nair.
When I looked over my head, I saw a maid waving at me from where it was a translucent floor.
The scaffolding keeps going down.
In the middle of it, Lady Norn looked up, staring at Ji's own wand.
"We still have time to get downstairs. If you need to ask me anything before then, just ask me a question."
What do you want to ask...?
The most important thing I want to ask you is about the people I'm going to meet, but you'll see that soon enough, okay?
Mr. Ark spoke to Lady Norn as he thought about what to ask.
"Queen, may I ask you a question?"
"As far as I can answer, I don't mind."
"So how did the people living in this city move to their neighbors? Now that Lord Caron is out there, it should take a lot of time and effort to move even a small number of people in hiding."
Speaking of which, they didn't explain to me how they sent the people of Miarak to their neighbours.
There are never too many people living in the city.
Besides, ice, not water, all around. No matter how many people can board a ship, it doesn't make sense if the water surface at the heart is frozen.
In the meantime, how did you get the Miaraks out of the country?
"In moving the people out of here, I asked Leona to stop Karon first, and while she stopped, I carried out all the people's movements."
... Isn't that impossible for a boulder?
It didn't come out of my mouth, but it makes me look suspicious at too succinct and cluttered an explanation.
Lady Norn, who sees our reaction, makes a grin like trouble.
"You won't be convinced by all this explanation. Sure, it's a reckless operation up to this point, but with his help from now on, we have succeeded in this reckless operation."
Saying so, Lady Norn put up a cane in her hand to show us.
The center of the wand was fitted with triangular gizzard-like gems, from which the same light was emitted as the junction covering Miarak.
"No way, is this the magic guide that was creating the junction?"
"Yeah. A tool that combines magic and magic, to be exact. This was also created by him, a special wand handed down to us royalty."
I mean, can I just say that the cane Lady Norn has is the last fortress to protect this city called Miarak?
When I heard that a great junction outside was emanating from the Magic Instrument, I thought it was a more daunting device, but it's very compact.
"This wand can bind a wide area by my magic as an operator. There's a constraint that it can only be used in this city under his control, but with my magic, I can develop a certain strength of ties in any way."
A magic guide that can only be used in a limited number of locations, but that works accordingly.
It's pretty out of the standard to be able to keep it activated with one's magic.
Earlier, when you were drinking potion, I was throwing it away...
"I have moved the people safely by creating boundaries between Karon and the people at the junction. But there are demons in the woods that were attentive and ferocious to Caron, so I put most of my knights on escort. So very few people are in the castle right now."
"I see..."
There is no Knight of Miarak because he left with us to escort the people who are moving from the ferocious demons?
The knights can't go back to the detour either because Mr. Caron is here.
What a difficult situation.
"So you were essentially dealing with Mr. Caron on your own,"
"I was on the defensive side from start to finish. To this day, I was about to be stabbed in the stops."
"Still, I think I'm amazing."
Without anyone's help, she can't be weak in the face of a big enemy named Mr. Caron.
Mr. Leona, wolfed by my words, turns away from his face at first sight.
"Yes, no, if I could have done better in the first place, I might have managed before he woke up..."
"Don't despise yourself too much, you're doing great."
Master Norn called out to worry about Mr. Leona, who would still be masochistic.
"The humility is your strength, but it's also your weakness. What you need now is confidence. As long as you're prepared for it, you're Miarak's..."
"Dear Norn...!"
Mr. Leona, who blocked Master Norn's words and spoke bitterly.
She immediately bowed her head to her own rude demeanor, but that expression had turned into a harsh one.
I didn't know what Master Norn was about to say, but then the words ahead were understandable to Mr. Leona that they were not very good words.
"Something seems to be making sense."
"Right."
I nod at Mr. Alk's whining as he watched the two interact.
I'm curious, but it's not a good problem for us to get involved. This is about Lord Norn and Leona, about the Lord and His servants.
It's time to get to the bottom level.
Norn-like voice with a slightly sunken voice.
If I looked underfoot in her voice, I could see that the blue glowing magic literature gradually lost its light.
"He said this to me." You are an immature queen. He said, "Identify yourself with two eyes." "
As I watched the floor descending quietly, Lady Norn said such a thing as he did to himself.
"You guys in my eyes... I thought you deserved credit. Still, I'll be careful."
"Caution? Something to be aware of?"
"Yeah. If you see him, never be scared. He looks a little big and scary, he's releasing a sense of intimidation in vain, and his words and actions are sighted from above quite a bit, but he's kind at heart...... people? So..."
I'm wasting my intimidation with my scary face, and my words and actions are coming from above... Rose?
No, you're not being unreasonable in there.
Oh, my God, that's about it. I'm totally fine. Even when it comes to scary faces, I don't think it goes beyond those strong faces or roses.
"I know a similar person, so it's okay"
There's no way there's more scary people coming than Rose, not to mention the people we meet now.
More horrible than that guy exists in this world? I even think.
"I don't have that. There can't be the same existence as him. No, it must not exist"
"Huh?"
I asked her back unexpectedly, whining small.
Is he that great by now?
Could it be more than Rose...? No, no, it's not the Rose standard, it's also considered awesome in a different way.
Within that thinking, the scenery around it was down is changing.
Until now, the sight of the bright blue wall just continued, turning into a very large cave.
"Ooh..."
An accidental exclamation leaked out of my mouth.
ceilings, caves of unusually wide width across. There was something like a spring everywhere in the cave, and blue light leaked out of its bottom, illuminating the cave.
It was a fantastic sight.
I was also surprised that there was space in the basement, but I didn't expect to see a beautiful view so far.
"This is the treasure and legacy Miarak is proud of." Creha Fountain ""
"Awesome, right? That's the only word I can find."
In my words, Lady Norn, who laughed a little, turns his attention to the fountain, which emits a blue glow.
"The water in this spring is special. It looks like just glowing water, but if you drink it, you can gain tremendous power."
"Extraordinary, power? It works like that on that water... but there's no way there's such a sweet story, is there?"
"Yes. This water is only poisonous to organisms. Water is not something that empowers, but something that draws strength. The source of that power is life - turning life into power. And what's most harmful to humans is that this water isn't the only thing that gives them power."
Turn your life into strength.
As far as I'm concerned, it doesn't seem like a very good thing.
"The power you get cheaply drives people's minds crazy. Drinking this water means giving in to your own weakness and turning away from the reality in front of you. The power that springs up loses room and calm in your mind and turns you into an outlaw who just wields power -"
Scaffolding arrives at the cave.
Moving forward before us, blinded by the surrounding scenery, Norn slipped his hand into a nearby fountain and gently lifted it up.
"'If you greed through greed and work, your heart will be torn apart and your body will decay after pain'... if you drink this water, your mind and body will be destroyed by its too much potency. That's why our royal family keeps protecting this place so that the greedy don't abuse the fountain."
A fountain of strength.
I'm sure that if there's anything to be known about its existence, those who want it will never stop.
Just listening, I understood that the beautiful fountain in front of me was a dangerous one.
"... I'll show you where he is"
Norn, who returned the water in his hand to the fountain, walks to the end of the cave.
Following her silently, she stopped in front of a large fountain at an international time.
But there is no one in that fountain.
Where is Master Norn's "he”?
"... I'm here"
"Nair?"
Nair whined in a nervous voice.
When I looked at her, I was staring at the fountain.
"I'm definitely here. This sign... we know. Amako, you must be feeling this sign, too."
"... yeah"
Me and Alc don't know what Nair and Amako are feeling.
But if you look at the two strong expressions, it's obvious that there's definitely something in the fountain.
"- I brought him. Please, show yourself."
When Master Norn says so, after a moment of silence, a giant ”something” emerges from the center of the spring water.
Moment after moment, I felt enough presence in front of me to hold my fist gently in front of Amako.
"Dude, you're lying..."
Nair was right, we knew.
That was a training ground two months ago.
The hang-up I learned about my predecessors. [M]
The dragon of disaster that she has awakened.
―――
But it appeared different from what we know as the Evil Dragon.
Of four wings, two cut a thousand from half,
The big tail has no ahead as if it had been detached,
scales are cracked, nails are also missing more than half,
The hyena stretched from the neck and the mustache from the mandible were brightly coloured.
"Dragon” looked down at us dripping water from the fountain, staring up at ”him" in a stunning situation where he could not even speak.
"- Welcome, Gentile. My one crack has been taken care of."
”Him," the blue old dragon said to me in a squeaky voice reminiscent of the old man.
