Lesson 28: The Witch and the King of Reunion
King's capital in the morning sun.
A peek into the outdoor stores shows a line of properly stored vegetables and fruits, and people desperate to sell daily groceries or something.
Even in winter, the area is very lively due to the low snow.
When I visited before, it was a quiet city that had lost its vitality because it had been tormented by flaming armor.
"That's crazy"
Melissa's thoughts on the view were cold.
"Dude... Guys, I'm working hard in the cold, but I'm cold like that..."
"It's weird indeed"
It's Iris who's in tune.
"I've seen more cities than Mars, I can assure you, but it can't be as vibrant as this"
The reason I assure you is due to previous information that I had obtained regarding the King's capital, Florence.
Many people have fled Florence as a result of the coup d 'état. Without people, it is natural that people's livelihoods also decline and become less lively.
So there's no way you can stay as vibrant as before.
Doesn't seem like there are as many people down there as they say there are.
"People from nearby villages......?
Noel, who shared his vision with us, shrugged.
It would be noisy if it were just like letting the King's Capital walk around and reveal its identity. Until I got to my first destination, I let him leave a message at the mansion.
"Have you noticed anything?
'Yeah. The man selling fruit over there should have had a small shop in a village near Wang Capital, and I remember my uncle being introduced to carpenters carrying big baggage over there'
It was a small number of times, but I had visited a nearby village in the work of the temple to offer my condolences, and the people I met at that time were working in the King's Capital.
"Near the king's capital - does that mean the king's direct jurisdiction?
Essentially, the administration of the territory is carried out by nobles.
However, there are also territories controlled by kings, where deputies are seconded by the state to administer them. Sometimes it is confiscated from the nobility who caused the problem and managed in the enclave, but often near the king's capital.
"Come on? Because by then, I didn't care whose territory it was"
Noel, who was barely out of the temple.
I can't help but be oblivious to outside information. Besides, it doesn't matter whose territory it is to the average person.
"Does that mean you brought him to the King's Capital for the purpose of replenishing the reduced in the King's Capital?
'Maybe it's reasonable to think so, but then there's nobody left in the village?
I was just passing sassy but there was a normal village on the way.
Besides, I still do reconnaissance from the sky for the purpose of searching for ghosts, but there are no villages where people disappeared just to see some normal villages.
"Let's ask Teng himself, who knows better than to think small like that. Just so you know, I'm going to go see him now."
The purpose of the visit to the King's capital was to meet the King.
Even then King Leonid could have trusted a few. If you are keeping your promises to Dear Tishua, you must be trying hard to do better in your national politics.
Sendorf's biggest target can be said to be King Leonid.
Noel said he wanted to tell you that the danger was imminent because he was being targeted.
"I knew there was a gatekeeper in front of the castle gate."
A gatekeeper who feels so unmotivated.
It's easy to break in because I only care about the extent to which there are no one nearer to it by extension.
'If it's the same as before, you should be doing paperwork in the office at this hour'
The map within the royal castle is made of our own exploration and precision.
"Around there."
Above the high royal castle.
We move to the rooftop of a tall building away from the gate looking out for a place where we think the king's office is located.
The perimeter of the royal castle is covered with high walls, and the garden stretches from the walls to the castle to reach a distance. It is near impossible to proceed without anyone finding a garden where there is nothing, even if we could somehow break through the walls.
It was built to capture intruders instantly.
But that's what happens if you run through the garden.
There's nothing so easy to find an intruder - there's no obstacle or anything.
"It's that room."
It magically creates mirrors (lenses) to magnify the sight of distance.
The lens had King Leonid sitting in a chair in front of his desk, resting whether he was tired or leaning against his back.
"Well, I'm gonna go for a minute"
Capture the exact location of the office.
When I look at the room with my naked eye as it is, it moves in [leaps].
"... who!?
That's the king of the kingdom of beasts.
Suddenly he notices an intruder appearing in the office and tries to hold the sword that was hanging on the wall.
"Wait a minute, please"
I'm not here to fight.
Don't leave the platform where the sword is magically erected because you are likely to get excited when the weapon is in your hand.
In so doing, raise your hands and appeal to be harmless.
Most of all, I don't know how effective it can be against someone who can't use a weapon.
I just have enough time to introduce myself.
"I apologize for the sudden visit. But it's me. It's Mars."
"... the adventurer of that time"
King Leonid seems to remember us, too. He finally releases his hand from the immobile sword.
"What the hell do you want? No way, I stopped by to say hello."
"Yes, of course I have business to attend to. Just before..."
[Summon] four people, excluding Noel.
"Have you summoned your people?"
"There's another one."
Finally, [summons] Noel.
"... Noel!?
"Long time no see"
"Why, why......!? You can't be alive!
"... looks like you're not telling us what happened in the North."
It has become widely known that Noel, who was a 'witch' in Avesta, was alive.
Paul and the others can be trusted, so they should stop at the top of the city. But it's impossible to stop talking to everyone in the city. I thought it was only a matter of time before I passed it on to Wang Du.
Plus, there's the ghost riot.
It is possible that means have been made available for the transmission of information in case of an emergency. It was also possible that there were those who served the country in that commotion.
But as far as the King's haste is concerned, the information is not conveyed at all.
Three days after that.
A few days had elapsed since I had traveled while gathering information.
Unfortunately, there was no rapid means of communicating information.
"Is it real?
"Yes, there was a lot going on, and I wasn't dead then"
"Right. That's good."
I sit in a chair out of relief and out of my mind.
From that look I can see from the bottom of my heart that I am pleased with Noel's survival.
But I'll be right back on my face as an exchanger.
"I'm really glad you're back. After all, the Kingdom of Memphis needs the goddess Tishua and the 'Witch'. With you, we can rebuild it."
King Leonid to Noel.
That's all they were hunting me down. They were nobles who had been told by Master Tishua not to escape because he had been shown divine punishment, but there was nothing like divine punishment going down when he escaped. For this reason, it is known that the word at the time of divine punishment was just a threat.
Really he was the limit too.
"No, I'm not going back"
"What!?
But Noel's answer is set.
Noel disappears again.
Reel was held in Noel's arms when he returned in [summons] because of a request.
Less than a month after his birth, Noel is desperately grasping Noel's clothes as he finds himself holding him by his mother, even as he rests easily.
A fox-eared toddler and a woman with fox-eared ears.
Relationships come to mind as natural if you watch the two of them.
It's my daughter.
"Yeah, right."
"The Witch is gone."
I just have to accept the reality that everything has changed.
"But I want to help people who don't know what's going on."
