Dancing Circles on the Horizon of Events

As expected by Julia and Sylvia, the people of the North welcomed them enthusiastically.

"10000G for a guy who crashed one side or the other! If you crash both, it's 30,000 G for a bonus!

"Ugh! Behavior!"

"Hi-ha-ha! You have a feast today!

... That's what I'm saying, the villagers coming after us on horseback with the two flying.

"Cheap... too cheap..."

Meanwhile, I'm priceless in the first place, I think, Julia.

"Ah... this is the one called 'Himpnosa (the difference between rich and poor)'..."

Sylvia remembers the words she taught Cortex as she turned her pitiful gaze to the villagers.

Apparently prices are considerably lower in this region than in the centre and south.

wide of the national territory (?) In Mid Eden, East, West, North and South and in the center, prices and living levels were different, respectively.

The warm South Fortress neighborhood in the South was also a base for crop production in Mid-Eden, so the dynamic exchange of money meant that there was not so much difference in prices from the centre where the Wang Capital was located.

Around North Fortress, on the other hand, it was difficult to say that crop production was active due to climatic constraints.

Dairy farming and grazing are commonly practised on land unsuitable for crop harvesting, but the land around North Fortress was still home to native forests, mountainous areas, and so on, so it was not possible to do so.

So what is the major industry?

One of them is:

"Shit! Those Sacubas can't hit an arrow because they fly around unexpectedly fast..."

... Demons (Demons?) hunting.

The demonic materials in which magic resides often have special effects, which can be sold at high prices if turned to the market.

For a people living in North Fortress, surrounded by deep woods and with more demons than in other areas, it can be considered an easy way to make direct money.

However, stable hunting was not desirable compared to agriculture and the like, so prices became relatively low as a result.

Otherwise, it wasn't like there was no stable industry, but... well, the story will be told later.

... For once, let me tell you, there is no hunter (Liese) here.

She should be busy flying around right now to rebuild South Fortress.

If she came to North Fortress, perhaps she would enjoy the hunt until Waltz forced her back.

Well.

Even then, hi-hi, the two continued to fly for several consecutive hours, just as they did yesterday, after all, in just two days, they reached North Fortress, more than 500 km from the Wang capital.

"Ho... really... I can't do this anymore..."

"Harassment... I just think... you know..."

Two as Gennari, remembering the villagers who ravishly strike two.

However, we were able to arrive at our destination much sooner than planned, whether it was due or fortunate.

In the first place, why didn't they do so when they said they could have arrived safely and in a short time if they had asked for a transfer wizard.

That would be the biggest reason because they were Waltz's people.

Requesting others means that only then will our actions leak to someone.

Because if you give it back, it's nothing more than that it's not weird whenever the angels attack you.

And since they themselves belong to the Intelligence Department, do they not want to divulge any extra information?

... In short, the women around Waltz had a lot of secrecy (?).

"Ready? Junior?"

When the two breathed in, Julia opened her mouth.

"Yes. You're leaving, aren't you?

With that said, Sylvia weaves a blackish hooded coat so the wings don't stand out.

"Steady, this coat that Master Cortex gave me. It's not hot because it's thin, but isn't it a little noticeable?

Instead, Sylvia thought it would be less conspicuous not to weave feathers.

"Um... it seemed like you had something in mind, so it's okay, isn't it?

"Is it..."

He stopped the button on his chest because he didn't accept it while he had a bad feeling.

It should also be noted that Julia does not weave this' monstrous coat 'because the magic of transformation can be used.

"Well, shall we go"

And the two went to the main entrance of the North Fortress and advanced on their feet.

"(Something scares me...)"

"(A lot of people look like galas bad...)"

Like South Fortress, there were people lined up in the inquisition set up at the main entrance of the town.

... I just couldn't say that it wasn't straight, it was strangely serpentine, sidelined, and a lot of people were polite in flattery.

"(... something, if we were lining up normally, we would be involved too, so let's use the (...) hand (...) of (...) as well)"

"(Right. Agreed)"

So two people go into the shadow of Oki, making sure people don't notice themselves.

And when the two show up again..., the Mid-Eden Knights of Parliament (?) appeared to be a pair of men wrapped in light armor.

In other words, Julia used the magic of transformation.

And as it is, ignore the line and walk to the inquisition.

Then, naturally, a strong gatekeeper greets...

Bishi!

I have returned my salute at the same time.

So as always,

"... um. Take it easy. Some of them are called the Mid-Eden Knights of Parliament Julius."

"... similarly, it's Sylgan"

I named him a pseudonym.

It should be noted that the documents submitted at the same time are indisputably signed by the real Mid-Eden Speaker (Teresa).

"What can I do for you today..."

Looking at the paperwork, the gatekeeper, who should have been on the strong side, suddenly starts rubbing hands.

"I think there was a circular the other day, but it's part of a regular out-of-the-road patrol. Well, I just look around town, so I don't rub my mind so much"

and Julia explains it like that.

It should be noted that regular outward patrols are conveniences for Yulia and their intelligence departments to visit towns and villages under various circumstances, such as this one.

Cortex has issued circulars to towns and villages across the country, so if you put that name out, you wouldn't have been the first to be suspicious.

Rather than... the only thing that is false is the name and appearance, and it can be said that the two back shields officially have a Mid-Eden state.

When Julia explains their purpose,

"Ha, I'm listening to you! Please come through!

A gatekeeper who permits passage without any inspection of two belongings, etc.

"Uhm. Good job working for you"

"Good luck to North Fortress"

Leaving those words behind, Julia and the others went inside the town.

"That gatekeeper, he's definitely doing something backwards, isn't he?

"I knew you'd think so? You were suspicious..."

A short distance from the main entrance, the two returned to their original appearance, then walked down Main Street leading to the centre of North Fortress.

"Later, you should report it to Master Cortex..."

Originally the chancellor is Teresa, but Sylvia doesn't seem to recognize it.

"But you don't think it's a good idea to doubt people too much..."

The reason they suspected the gatekeeper was unreasonable because they looked suspicious.

For once, Julia seems to have a sense of irrationality.

Well, if people on the clouds came suddenly, wouldn't anyone show the same reaction?

With such an exchange, you walk away for about 10 minutes,

"... what is it, this smell..."

Smell Fetish (Sylvia) reacts.

"Hmm, probably not that smell?

Ahead of where Julia pointed,

Bukubuku...

A fountain storing hot water close to boiling in such a way... something like that was sitting in the middle of the square.

There was nothing like a decoration in particular, but if you think about the place and the accumulation of liquid, I'm pretty sure it's in the fountain.

"... hot water?

"Sure, this is where the smell comes from..."

When I brought my nose closer to the liquid that Sylvia was accumulating, the rotten smell of the eggs drifted thinly.

I tried to heat it to a boulder, so I'd make sure for my hands, but I didn't even...

"Could this be..."

It was when Julia tried to say that.

"You guys! Don't move!"

Two people suddenly surrounded by guards.

And one of the guards opens his mouth.

"... let's get you to the stuffing house"

"What?!

Why did you suddenly do that when you didn't do anything?! Two people like that.

... apparently, an unexpected crisis is about to strike Julia and Sylvia.
