Egret

“There are so many things. I had no idea there was such a noble name. ”

“Hmm.”

Judas knew that there were many nobles of the same class as Count Raven.

Those who easily put others in despair and laughed at their despair faced countless challenges in their former lives.

There must be more evil than that somewhere.

Even the nobles who failed to establish Sage as the Crown Prince and turned their backs and turned away from his fall were in the same class as them.

Sage, who had been stationed in the palace of silence for five years and had no one to visit except Judas, did not know their reality properly, but did.

But I didn't have to bring that story out in front of Sage, who was already shocked.

It wasn't all because of nobility, and there were many in the world who tried to protect their honour as nobles by fulfilling their responsibilities and duties.

Without his proper consideration, Sage quickly threw a vassal with interest on the other side.

“In that case, the commandments were spirits too..... ”

Judas quietly searches the four spirits that follow his side without materializing.

Upon receiving his gaze, the spirits rejoiced like a child in his mother's arms.

“Yeah. I was just making a rough guess. In fact, I've never met a spirit that is being commanded before my eyes. ”

“I thought spirits were pure and transcendent. ”

Judas smiled as he watched Sage stretch his shoulders.

“Haha, did you? You don't think so now, do you? ”

“…… Those beings are corrupted only because of one human wish. I don't get it. ”

“It is only a human wish. ”

Judas listened to what his brother had said.

And he told me his thoughts.

“Spirits and sorcerers are contractual relationships that lead to souls. The Spirit seeks to give precedence to the wishes of the contractor over any laws of the world. Maybe it's because they loved the contractor so purely. ”

“Love?”

“Well, even if it's not passionately burning love. Like a bird holding an egg or a young cat following its mother. Spirits are the center of the world for contracted spirits. ”

Sage opened his mouth to Hehe with a curious eye.

Even if you can't see it now, it was clear that there are four attribute spirits around you.

Sage, who imagines the spirits surrounding him like a bird holding eggs, asks a question.

“So what kind of spirits are there for you? ”

“Hmm? Well..... ”

I never thought about it separately.

The Spirit has been by his side for a very long time.

Even before the former ‘igrette' was contracted, the spirits hovered around at that moment when they were abandoned in the icy snowfield as soon as they were born.

I already knew the Spirit before I learned how to speak.

"Igret."

The spirits who were listening to the conversation laughed in the bedroom, meaning they understood him.

Judas pondered for a moment and gave a clear answer within a short time.

“The most beloved children in the world. ”

Karr

The clear laughter of the spirits surrounded him.

The group moved four days and four nights later.

Running away from the vast farmland for a while, a bumpy mountain range appeared.

I climbed a limestone mountain path with snow and winter leaves, and I looked over a few tall mountain trunks and spread out a vast plain before my eyes.

It was a huge basin surrounded by mountains.

Judas set his horse on the grass and took a short break.

“This is the Duke of Delphia from here. ”

Edan explained, pointing to a meandering mountain path that leads to the bottom of the basin.

There was a small village below the mountain pass.

“If you go down this road, you'll meet the coast of Siel in Delphia Castle. ”

The group of ordinary people, not the articles that followed the assault for four days, was exhausted.

I belonged to the same knights, but so did Baikal, the wizard.

In the vague weather between late winter and early spring, Baikal tucked into the water with a blue hood button.

“Ah, when I ride a horse, I wear a hood, so I'll be hot. I picked a cool robe for the winter weather, but the day is sooner than I thought. ”

“Take it off and get on. ”

“…… Even if you do, don't freeze to death, Commander. ”

On Edan's simple advice, Baikal frowned.

“Anyway, if we go down to the coast of Siel, we'll have to get a robe to wear in the weather these days. It looks like he's going to die of a sweat band. ”

“Don't worry, you won't die by sweatbands. ”

“No, it's not. It's hot when you wear it, it's cold when you take it off! I'm going to be totally devastated. ”

“That's weak. It's hard to hold out. I'm a wizard, but don't let your fitness training slow you down. ”

“…… Ha, you're just trying to tell me to burst and die, right? ”

“A quick thing to notice is acceptance. ”

Judas, who was sitting in front of the bonfire and watching the two men's workshops, grinned and frowned.

At that time, Uni flew up and circled around the campfire.

Everyone gathered their eyes toward the Spirit of the Shining Wind, revealing that it was a basin without people.

People are coming nearby.

Uni spoke with a lovely expression.

They're the villagers down there. But, um, everybody's in a bit of a bad shape.

“ ……. ”

Judas stood up with a green spirit in his palm.

Then all the people who were resting together stood up and began to organize the campfire and the baggage.

In the gap, Baikal sneaks at Uni.

“Hmm, what's going on? Who's coming around? ”

“Hmm? You're really quick to notice, Baikal. You deserve a pass from Edan. ”

“…… I'm doing this to the main army. ”

Chama Judas was a grumpy baikal.

Judas, who farms, smiles a little and climbs up to his horse.

“It looks like people are coming up near the lower town. But they're not in good shape, so you need to look at them. ”

“I see. I see. ”

Baikal, who answered quickly, ran to find his words.

Once the line was in place, the group left the basin and began to descend along a meandering path.

According to Uni's information, I was able to confront the villagers who were coming up the hill hard shortly.

I didn't say they were particularly wounded or anything, but their molars seemed dangerous at first glance.

His eyes were twinkled as one, and his skin withered away.

I also heard moaning around my hands less trembling or complaining of headaches.

The people who met Judas' group were furiously surprised, and they came to him and craved one thing.

“Water……! Give me some water...! ”

All the villagers were dehydrated.

Even his voice splits like a field of drought.

“Please, travelers, share some water. ”

“Please, just to the child. ”

The woman who was still holding the baby in her arms stood forward and prayed.

Judas materialized Rooney as he stepped out of the horse.

Hug! Hug!

The blue wolf, which appeared bubbling up, wandered in front of the villagers.

Surprised by the image of the wolf that suddenly appeared, people swallowed their breath and solidified in place like stones.

“Oh, my God. Wolves in the air?! ”

Judas calmed them down before there was more commotion.

“Rest assured that this child is the Spirit of Water that I handle. Give me the bucket you brought, and I'll fill it with water. ”

People were carrying a large bucket of strong men, as if they were actually going to feed water.

Those who looked at the water of the well in the words of the Spirit could not overcome thirst and put the bucket down in front of them.

Now I was more afraid of dying of thirst than of being handed over to a wolf.

“Looney.”

"Got it."

The blue wolf read the contractor's wishes lightly.

A blue gem on the wolf's forehead glitters gently, and something miraculous happens.

“ ……! ”

“Water!"

A desperate cry burst out as if I had found an oasis wandering around in the desert.

The buckets that were empty were filled with clean water.

People who were dying because they could not eat water began to drink heavy water by clinging to buckets.

Freshly produced water was clear and soft.

No matter how much I drank, the bucket's water did not diminish.

Drinking like a fountain that draws groundwater, the rising water of Pong Pong allowed people to barely breathe.

“Baby, it's water. Have a sip. Huh? Honey. ”

Judas came to him with a voice that was still desperate in the midst of those who hesitated to let go of the joy of living.

A woman was now hesitantly sitting with a young baby who seemed only about to start walking.

Babies often worsened rapidly despite the symptoms that adults could endure for days, such as dehydration and malnutrition.

Similarly, the baby that the woman was carrying was losing consciousness and stretching.

She tried to keep her mind awake by soaking her child's lips with water, but it didn't work very well.

Judas slowly kneels before her as she calls her mother without giving up.

“Ciel, my dear. Please."

“Would it be okay to look at the child for a moment? ”

The woman, who had no choice but to hold the baby, looked back at him, ignorant of Judas' approach.

The woman who faced Judas' clear gold eyes on the ground, even on her knees, to adjust her sighting height, slowly showed the baby she was carrying.

A baby who had lost his mind due to lack of water could not pass the water to his throat and was crying at the mouth.

If it was this condition, it was fortunate that the water that had been forcibly fed did not cross the road by prayer.

Judas laid his hand on the baby's forehead as he looked up.

Grung.

Sitting next to him, Rooney, who had one tail, was willing to lend him strength.

The power of the Spirit that flowed through Judas' hands began to cover the body of the baby, which was ruined by lack of water.

In an instant, the baby's skin was smoothed to fit my age.

Strength returned to the stretched limbs, and his face brightened.

As the body began to function normally, the baby was able to regain consciousness.

The baby, who had blinked twice as if he had just woken up, looked at Judas and reached out with a big smile.

“Shit.”

“Oh, my God, Ciel! ”

“Ow!”

As the baby regained health, the woman bowed her head unscathed to Judas.

“Thank you so much for saving the child, Spirit Master. ”

“Brother... ”

Sage was approaching.

Not only that, but Edan, Baikal, and Cole were gathered together to him.

“I've arranged for you to drink and rest all the water, as you ordered. ”

“Yes, well done. Let's wait for them to awaken. ”

“Argh!”

Vical, who unexpectedly took a second break today, said it was a pleasure.

And when he saw him, he shook his head, saying, "Edan can't stop."

After seating the baby's mother in a resting place, they also sat down on the other side of the couch to rest.

Sage, who now sits on the floor with her hair on her back, looks at the villagers and says,

“But brother. I heard that strange story. ”

“Strange story? ”

“Those guys. They say if you go up this road, there's a big lake beyond the basin. I'm sure there is a drinking water tank in the town and there is a big lake. I asked you why you can't drink water.. ”
