Darenidemo Dekiru Kage Kara Tasukeru Maō Tōbatsu
Thirty-third report: Track the line of brave men
The body length is approximately two meters and a half. Hooknails for a strong grip on the ground on smooth mountain-blown scales. Dedicated saddles larger than twice the size used for horses are installed on the back.
Bigger than horses around, slightly smaller when compared to the common lizard species (Lizard) it was a species that humans repeatedly mated for riding. Large, open, deep green eyes are observing around, with a roar of grunting from the back of his throat.
Mercenaries watched over the unusual creatures connected near the entrance to the church.
Riding lizards (Runner Lizards) are luxury items. It's more convenient than a horse, but less numerous and more expensive than a horse. And it's hard to operate.
He holds the reins on his side and speaks to Helios, who was forgiving it for his impatience.
"Looks like you're ready."
"This is near the monstrous Vale Forest, so we have enough to prepare. Especially since I've never used it before."
Shoulder to shoulder, the priest smiles the same thin smile as usual.
I know it was prepared in advance, but I can't get my head up on Helios, who answered my request much earlier than planned.
Lizard notices this one and shivers his body left and right to a large extent. I roar high as if I were even intimidating you. It's easy to miss compared to other lizard species, but it's hard for people to miss compared to horses. That was also why this creature was generally poorly distributed. It is recommended to take care of and get used to riding from day to day.
"Have you ever ridden a Lizard?
"Yes. No problem."
Receive the reins from Helios' hand. But we have to get used to it, but if we're on a higher level, we're not talking about it.
The moment I received the reins, Lizard hissed heavily. Step back like the gallery that was watching this one far-flung.
but even if I didn't say anything, Lizard immediately lay down on the spot.
Runner Lizard is hard to get used to people, but he's loyal to the superiors. It is assumed that if there are roughly 60 levels, they will hear what is said in the first meeting Lizard as well.
I sighed as if Helios would admire me.
"... brilliant"
"It's just a level difference."
Anyone can do it if they raise the level. Fujido with multiple protections would be able to manipulate even lower levels. Especially since there shouldn't be any better means of travel than a tireless magical carriage......
Amelia puts her stuff on the grown-up Lizard. Even though it's stubborn, you put extra baggage on the two of us. Lizard's health is not infinite so it's not that much.
"Keep in touch with Amelia."
"I understand.... who is the heretic exterminator who is supposed to come?
"While it may no longer be necessary, future policies will be determined by observing the trends of the brave. Three days as planned...... no, two more days, huh? We should be there in two days. We'll be able to decide what to do by then."
If Fujido gets out of the woods soon, this one's going to track it down without a hand to the devil. Vale Forest anomaly resolution is not a high priority for us.
Lizard's head, touching cold scales flat in his hands, praying.
Auxiliary magic-specific light surrounds the body. Improved muscle strength, agility and endurance. This should narrow the difference a little.
Lizard pupils open wide. The roar gets somewhat louder, but soon he grows up again, realizing that his abilities are no match for his enemies.
Yeah. That's fine. Don't make me go through any extra trouble. That's enough for a brave man.
Helios slightly opens his eyes and asks.
"... because it's okay to use divine power in such a place for nothing?
"I'll do my best. I'm sorry for any further trouble."
If I don't make it when I have to save money, the struggle I've had is water bubbles. Not a very attentive job, but I'm not going to get out of hand any more than it is.
Kick the ground gently and span the saddle. Higher gaze. Riding lizards have more leg power than horses, even. It will also give you quite a bit of speed. The sway would be considerable. No matter how high the level, there's nothing you can do about it.
Reach out and pay attention to Amelia who has finished loading her luggage.
"Use your sacrament on yourself before you get completely drunk. In case you're about to throw up, say it before you throw up. Unload."
"... What the hell does Mr. Ares think of me... I'm not proud of you, but I'm a strong type for my ride"
You said the same thing when you were sober!?
Hold Amelia's hand and pull it up all at once.
Make sure you've sat right back, and finally turn back towards Helios. I was unsure what I was going to talk about, and I just said one word.
"Thank you for your help."
"Welcome, let me study"
Helios gives thanks for his inward-looking movements.
The guy who's going to have a problem doesn't have a problem, and the guy who's not going to. I thought he was a pretty habitual guy when I first met him, but if you open the lid, you're right. Humans, how can it not come close to appearance?
"There is no protection for Az-Greed."
"... oh"
Even so, there is a Fujido with the protection of AZ Gried. There was no longer faith or flatulence.
I sighed off the idea that came up in my brain, and I pulled the reins.
§§§
Meadows stretch from the village of Vale to the woods.
Runner Lizard, who had it ready, was a healthy leg.
The sound of wearing the earth and tremendous shaking. The irreplaceable scenery flows with tremendous momentum and the wind hits the body hard.
This would be the first time I've ever ridden a lizard, Amelia grabs hold of my body and doesn't scream one. It's a lot of guts to say I'm a shadow.
"Amelia, do you know where they are now?
"... Yes. of the woods, on the main road, seems to be walking…"
Hang on. The voice that gets grabbed.
... Is this guy really okay?
I also thought when I was drunk that Amelia sometimes seemed to exaggerate somewhere. He was always under the impression that he was calm and completely indispensable when he was interacting over the call, but the reality is different. You may need to be careful what you say and do.
I did, so I sanctified silently. At times like this, I'm glad I'm Priest.
You can move as much as you want and move as long as you can recover from abnormal health and condition.
There are signs that Amelia will wake herself up slowly.
I told him to make excuses.
"... I'm not lying. Resistant to alcohol and vehicles."
"Right."
"Just... hey this is unexpected... like the built-in is spinning every second..."
It's because the movement up and down is terrific... it's something I have experience with too. I'm not even going to blame you.
When you shut up, you take my word for it, and you start to say it slowly. Strange signs, as if ripples had been emitted in the air, shake the cerebral cord. It is a unique sign that is felt when the magic of the detection system is exercised nearby.
"... it's just about half the point on Morimoto Road in Vale. There's no sign of any particular battle."
"Can we have a conversation with Gresha?
"... not while traveling at this speed. The call requires two steps: detecting the caller's location and communicating, but at this speed, the caller's location cannot be determined."
I've heard that communication magic is a developing magic. There are no constraints.
Magic is finite. If it doesn't seem to be a problem, should I save it?
However, to put it the other way around, if there are two users of detective magic, they may be able to rest alternately and let them use it all the time. I definitely applied for Stefan's secondment.
Choose words and open your mouth.
"It was night that Gresha was kicked out. In the first place, the Demons are also often nocturnal. You're unlikely to encounter them during the day."
"... it sounds as if you're telling yourself"
She's a strange, sharp woman.
"Rest easy, but it's true you think so. But in the end, don't get lucky with Fujido."
Whenever and wherever you do it, it's not weird. Whatever you pull, it's not weird.
Overall, he's a man who doesn't know what to do. The odds are low, but it is possible to encounter the Demon Clan. In the first place, all the heroes in history books have the power to be called even that kind of destiny. It is a troublesome story.
"Worst of all, recovery is possible as long as Fujido is alive. Regardless, Gresha seemed to be willing to protect him if both Remis and Aria were just words. The level is low, but it's going to be rough."
"Aren't there protests coming?
That's not what I found out. I've been ostensibly kicked out already.
Sometimes there was not that much distance from the village to the Vale Forest, and the entrance to the forest was visible less than an hour after driving through the Lizard.
Usually it wasn't weird to have a few groups of mercenaries, but there was no one around the entrance.
The story of temporarily blocking the city's entry and exit and the story of closing the woods was a lie (bluff) to get the Vines to the next city, but the story of the emergence of dangerous demons has already been communicated to the mercenaries. They are risk-sensitive. No, you can't survive in that industry unless you're sensitive. What they are looking for is status and honor, not adventure. I wouldn't be trying to risk the unknown without so many reasons.
The main road is quite large, but in Runner Lizard you should not enter while the trees are growing. Fujido and the others should be on foot. If it's enough to give up on the way, you should leave it outside the woods.
Lower the fluttering Amelia and follow Runner Lizard right next to the entrance. I don't connect and fasten with strings. Whatever the horse is, if it's Lizard's muscle strength, it's not even a magic chain, it's ripped off. Command with force.
"Wait."
My pupils narrow. A few seconds later, Lizard lay down on the spot as she calmed down. Clever and pride. I'll pound your neck.
"What do you do with the luggage?
"Take it"
No one can beat Runner Lizard if it's about the demons that live in the shallow layers of this forest, but the whimsical mercenaries may pass by. If it were stolen, it would be. You mustn't trust mercenaries in that kind of place. Tense but unavoidable. All you have to do is put it down during battle.
Amelia lowers, takes up the biggest and heaviest backpack she has ever tried to carry, and carries. Food to camp tools. Including all the weapons and equipment to be handled in the battle has the appropriate weight but there was no problem. I want the magic guide to storage given to Fujido, but that is a tremendous valuable item. I got a church backup, and I didn't get it.
I say it like Amelia was upset when the backpack was taken away.
"I can have it, too."
"Have you ever walked in the woods?
"... there isn't. This is the first time I've walked with Fujido in the meantime."
"Where did you level up to 55?
"It's the undead in the Catacombs"
Indoors and outdoors are different on their own. I'm used to it. I'm used to it. To this extent, it is not a great burden.
The most troubling thing for me is when they fall along the way. Refers to a small backpack containing ready-to-use sacred water, etc.
"Hold that one for me"
"... isn't agility compromised?
"All I need is endurance and strength, not agility."
"I think Mr. Ares is a little overprotective."
"If you want to carry so much, I'll let you carry it when you can afford it."
It is not overprotective. Nor is it kindness. I'm just talking about efficiency.
Amelia took my stabbed backpack like she gave up. I appreciate the desire to be useful, but people have aptitudes.
"Tell me where you are on a regular basis instead. I live without breaking my nerves for that matter. I want to always move ahead, if possible."
"Okay."
Make sure Amelia snorts, turns away and points her gaze at the forest entrance.
Check the clock. I still have time until the sun sets, but if I can, I want to solve the situation by then. Can't you?
§§§
It was a great advantage to know where the Vines were. Amelia's magic of detection clearly captured the location of the Vines even from a few dozen kilometers away.
Sometimes we use detective magic to see where the Fujido and the others are, while proceeding fast through the woods. So far, Fujido and the others are on a well-maintained path.
Few demons come out on the road. If you're here to raise the level, it's strange to have to go off the road and into the woods. I have a bad feeling.
Eyebrows, thought-through, slamming the mace into her strong grip on the appeared | tree evil fairy (Bud Trent). I don't even have to be serious. It is a demon that I was able to defeat when I was only ten years old. Screaming similar to the wind's yawning, its body, similar to that of a dead tree, blew away, just an uninhabitable piece of wood of life. Shake the mace twice and three times in the habit to see how it responds.
"... that's a trick I don't think Priest is."
"Even Amelia won't take lag on demons of this magnitude. At level 55, no matter how many demons you defeat, you won't rise to the level."
I hate to say it, but killing is my specialty. I've been on the level for a long time. It has exterminated heresy. Few monks are accustomed to killing, and some can only defeat immortal species (undead) demons whose retreat magic works, but I'm not.
Warcraft (Beast), but Immortal Species (Undead), but Devil (Demon), but Evil Elite (Reis), but Dragon (Dragon) - human by analogy, but no hesitation in dealing with them. No, that's the only way you can be a Crusader.
If you get used to it, you can sense the signs when they use detective magic, but I guess Fujido and the others still can't. There is no stranger to the reaction of a line of brave men. This one is a clear tail, even though the opponent is quick. There were also differences in the time it took to fight when demons appeared, and the distance narrowed slightly.
I noticed the discomfort when I went into the woods and finished my tenth battle.
When you slaughter the lower Demon Wolf (Hard Wolf) with a mace and pay the blood on the mace, you gently stretch your arm muscles. I turned to Amelia, who followed me behind.
"... don't have too many demons"
"Demon, is it?
"This is already the tenth time I've fought since I got in. I'm walking down the main road, and this number is weird."
Although measures to avoid demons are not perfected, artificially built paths frequented by hunters (hunters) are hated by demons.
So far, no deep demons have appeared, but it is possible that other demons similar to Gracial Plant have also been driven through the territory.
Gently closing the lid concentrates the spirit and sharpens the senses. There is no sign of the Dark Family.
Lick your lips. Coincidence? Sure, there's no chance there's been more than one battle by chance, but we should think about it just in case.
Maybe it's time to get ahead of the Fujido guys in the direction they're going. In case the devil shows up, I can handle him.
"Off the road. Let's get ahead of ourselves."
"Yes."
"Increase the speed of progress. Fatigue?"
"It's okay."
How far is it true...... no, let's believe it. I just have to believe it. Level 55 should still be fine.
She said she wanted to follow me. Amelia told me earlier that she was overprotective, but no need to hesitate.
Amelia is no fool either. If you can't, you can't.
If it sucks, you can carry it.
"Can you walk while expanding your detection?
"... Yes"
"What's the limit time?
"... no problem for an hour or so. I also have a magic potion that I can use to hold a little more."
An hour... that's short.
Exhaustion of magic means loss of consciousness. Is it not realistic that calls may also be needed and deployed at all times?
"Then it's good to expand all the time. Make sure you don't have any big guys on a regular basis."
"Okay."
Step off the road with acknowledgement from Amelia. That's when I came up with one more thing. There are many thick trees of high tree age that thrive in the Vale forest.
Ask Amelia no good.
"It's better to fly around the trees than to walk on the ground. I can get speed. Is that possible?"
"... What does Mr. Ares think of me as?
I still can't......
