Egret

After a while, a bubble bubble rises above the serene oasis's surface.

Qaaaaaah!

Two huge wings came out of the water first.

Cold water gushed like a fountain and poured down everywhere.

In the meantime, it was Blue Wyvern covered in blue scales.

Fluvy, who recovered his original body size, looked around with a glittering orange eye.

I caught the smell of Baikal's blood on Wyvern's sensitive scent.

“Glub.”

There are only traces of blood left, and there is no vical anywhere.

Fluvi was so embarrassed that she rang her throat. Then I howled with all my might.

“What! What are you talking about? ”

“Raid?”

The guests who had fallen asleep woke up.

There were lights everywhere and someone screamed as they ran out of the tent one by one.

“De, it's a dragon! ”

Ordinary people who are unfamiliar with the dragon's distinction are mistaken for fluvial dragons.

Even so, Fluvi flew into the foodduck without overcoming the anxiety and surprise of the sudden situation.

He stumbles and sprints and vomits his brass over the dunes within minutes.

The heat of the desert lit up the night because of the long heat lines and the intense soaring fire.

“Fluvi.”

At that time, I heard a familiar voice in Fluvi's ear.

A green wind scattered over Fluvi's head, which was flying dangerously.

Judas, who had fallen on his huge head, asked him to put on a flute that was simply balanced.

“Shh. Calm down. ”

“ ……. ”

Hueung

The green airflow gently curled the two wings and trunk of the Wyvern.

The rest of the group rushes towards Fluvi, who slowly descends on the sand dunes following the wind's lead.

It was quite far from the resting place.

“Hugh.”

“Yeah, that's nice. Fluby, can you tell me what happened last night? ”

Judas puts his hand on Fluvi's head and asks.

Looney, the Spirit King of Water, who can read whatever life is inside, read Fluvi's memory by his side.

You got raided after you went for a walk. With a man named Uriel.

“…… Uni. ”

Yeah, I think I found a rough spot because it smells of blood. But there's one problem.

Uni circled around him with a distressed look on his face.

At some point, we lost track. I think I might have gotten into the ground.

"In the Land?"

Yes, Tony, look for it there.

Hehe ~ Leave it to me!

The two Spirits neatly shared their roles.

Judas comes down from Fluvi's head and stares down at the staff in one hand.

It was Baikal's stuff that I picked up in front of the oasis.

The staff, crafted with the finest lightning tree branches, was engraved with a 'B’ that symbolizes the owner's true name along with a magic term.

I remembered what the guard said before entering the Turkey Desert.

‘There are traffickers targeting women and children, so pay particular attention. ’

No one could have predicted that a magician who graduated from Lubach, the empire's premier talent institute, and joined the Crown Prince's Crisis Corps would be hit by a trafficker.

Not only was it aimed at a relatively young Sage or a woman, Cristina, but it also added to the panic of her colleagues because she was caught up in the fatigue.

‘Of course, it must have gotten caught up everywhere. ’

Judas was able to guess roughly the situation.

Their original target was Uriel, and Vical, who happened to be there, was also upset.

Edan, who was holding the staff by his side, slightly lowered his head.

“…… Your Majesty. ”

“Baikal, he shouldn't have been hurt too much. Hmm, it seems that somehow this role has changed. ”

“I beg your pardon.”

Judas handed over the farm when he found out that the keeper was going to go to the station for help.

When he saw Ethan, who had no idea what to do, he smiled bitterly and opened his mouth again.

“I'm not blaming you. Baikal arrived where he was going anyway. ”

Judas thumps Fluvi's throat.

Fluvi, who knew the meaning of the touch, howled once and flew up.

Judas, who stares at the fluvial sky that cut through the night sky, raises a whirlpool of sand and pulls his reins up at the horse.

“We should arrive soon, too. ”

The sparkling green wind stretches as long as the stars of the night sky.

The place UNI guided was not far from the oasis.

Fluvi, who came first in the wind at a stormy speed, flew around on an empty desert hill.

I didn't know how to land or where to land.

“Turn it off.”

Fluvi wept, chopping off the lonely air.

No matter how much he cried, Baikal couldn't even see his hair.

“Bang?”

A familiar smell permeated Fluvi's nose as she wandered over the desert with tears filled with large orange eyes.

Then I found a broad lobe half buried in the sand.

It was a robe of Bical, not a different kind.

Fluvi slowed down and landed in a hurry.

Although it was unstable to sit down without fully slowing down, for the first time I was able to slow down myself and succeed in landing.

“ ……?! ”

The terrain, which I thought was just a dune, is swampy.

Fluvi panicked and spread his wings, but the power of sucking sand swamps was strong enough to overcome even the adult Blue Wyvern.

It was a bizarre terrain with black morale acting, not ordinary sand.

Because of this, the more resistant he resisted, the faster he sank down.

The sand swamp that swallowed up the huge Wyvern suddenly became silent.

* * *

“…… look. Sir Baikal? ”

In the voice of a woman ringing her ears loudly, Baikal blinked bluntly.

His head thumps as if he had entered the cave.

And as he lay down, he closed his eyes, and someone shoved his face in front of him.

“Phew. Are you awake? Are you okay?”

When he saw the golden hair that was scattered and pouring out of the precious water, he opened his eyes, which were frightened and cloudy.

Luckily, I was able to recognize his face quickly, so I almost fainted on the road.

It was Uriel crying in a mess.

“Do you recognize me? You?”

“Yes, Miss Uriel. I'm sure you'll recognize it very well, so please step aside. ”

He muttered without energy.

My jaw split and my voice came out. I also felt damp in the back water.

Uriel snorts in and retreats to the side, so he can rise up and sit down.

Baikal sneaks through the back of his head with his hand.

The blood that was wet with the hard-dried powder was buried together.

“You've shed a lot of blood. I thought Lord Baikal was dead! Suck.”

“No, I'm not dead. Why die? Why die? I didn't hear anything ominous. Do you know where this is? ”

“Sniff. I just woke up, too. ”

“…… Well, it seems so. ”

I was in bad shape about how I got hit in the head.

He looks around with a blurred gaze on his forehead.

“Ugh!”

“Mom..... ”

It wasn't just Uriel crying, it was crying everywhere.

I saw close to twenty people trapped together, including them in a dark cave.

Half was crying and half was sitting on the back of the cave wall with a gloomy face.

The entrance was clogged with thick, sturdy nets.

“Oh, are you attracted to traffickers who often show up in the desert these days? ”

Baikal murmurs and pulls the net by hand.

The net made of twisted special ropes mixed with wires was very tightly entangled, making it difficult to break the knives. He who guarded it was not particularly visible.

“It's not human trafficking. ”

Sitting nearby, someone who heard his murmuring decisively denies.

As Baikal turned around, he saw a young woman holding her dry gaze on the floor.

“What do you mean? ”

“If you stay here, everyone dies. ”

“Huh?”

“Because it was eaten by them. It's all gonna work. ”

Bikal gets dizzier in his head when he spills a lot of blood and tells a story he can't understand.

“They are. What is that? ”

“ ……. ”

The woman did not answer any more.

I just dug my head between my knees and shook my shoulders.

Seeing a woman completely captivated by the horror of death, he frowned.

‘I have to get out of here first. With Robe and the staff gone, there must be a lot of magic around here. ’

Baikal slowly began to control the magic power around him.

Barehanded magicians were extremely slow and weak, but could not remain trapped in them.

Grizzly, grizzly

The spark blooms blue around the floor on which he stands.

When the magic arrangement for the use of the Lightning System was completed, he recited the starter words with difficulty.

“Lightning Sphere. ”

The electric energy burst like a circle of beads flashing in front of me, and the net was torn apart.

There is a spark that still falls out between the meshes that are big enough to allow enough people to escape.

“Huwa, were you a wizard? ”

Uriel approaches and opens his eyes in circles.

Even in the darkness, Baikal, who had once again confirmed the subtle glowing silhouette, looked back at her, picking up a breath.

“Is Miss Uriel a priest? ”

“Yes?”

“The light from the body. I heard that only people with divine power do so. ”

“Light? Do I have something like that? ”

I didn't even know what it was like to stumble on my own body.

Baikal sighs loudly.

Priests who know how to handle the divine power can use blessings or purification to restore their body state a little.

While healing wounds was not as effective as a healer, there were many blessings, at least temporarily, to revitalize the body, to increase fitness, and to maximize mental health.

He looks at Uriel with sad eyes, and once he moves out of the net.

Outside the cave was another very large cave.

It was more like an open space like a grand hall than a den.

Somewhere on the high ceiling, the sands of the bush fell constantly like a crotch.

“I think it's underground here. Ugh, some lunatic buried something under the desert. ”

“Go, come with me. ”

Uriel follows through the Hudadadaq hole.

Others looked at the well and were not out yet.

Seeing the nets that had locked them away and were still immobile in them, Baikal prepared a new magic array.

Uriel, who found a magic circle burning on the floor, stares at him with suspicious eyes.

“What's wrong? ”

“...... even though their doors are open, you don't see them coming, do you? ”

“Huh? I see. Why not?”

“Let's see if there's a lookout. Terribly ugly. ”

Baikal glances at the wizard as he roughly completes.

…… the human soul.

“Hick.”

Uriel checks the direction he pointed at and twists his mouth with his hand.

There stood a little girl whose feet were floating round in the air.

Behind my back, I had wings that were bigger and grosser than my body.

There was no nose and mouth and it was a bizarre molybdenum from which dead dirt flowed from a deep snowball.

He said with a creepy voice even though he didn't have a mouth.

Let me eat.

“Ugh, ooh. ”

"Command."

Unlike Frightened Uriel, Baikal grabs the hem of his shirt and wipes away the sweat from his throat and laughs.

“Ha! Was it not trafficking in human beings? ”

Hungry…… Hungry…… Hungry.

“Damn it.”

Ka 'Gad!

His jaw was torn and his open mouth rushed like a wild dog.

Uriel screams with a bird, and at the same time the magician, who was under Baikal's feet, thumps and vibrates brightly.

Quaaang!

One explosion occurred as the fire column exploded.

With this in mind, there is a story about the Command in full. Heh.

And Uriel... it's not important. You, don't worry too much... Cool...

And my question has been ignored... and I'm going to have to put a goldbag next time.

A. Aw, I didn't think you'd ask! I thought you were just telling me what you think. Heh heh. I'm sorry to upset you! (Coughing)

To answer late, Cristina's bird is dressed in a traveller's costume (long pants), hooded and headbanded like a Hong Kong (..).

In the background setting, both imperial men/women are free on the length of their heads, so it is not strange for a man to have a long hair, and besides, Cristina is the ancestor mentioned in the part where the Spirit of the Wave appeared (?). I have a pretty neutral feeling.... And of course, Uriel himself was naive, so I decided to be too fragmented (...)

Oh, and the word "turn on" is usually used to mean "drink a lot of water," but... I think I've used a dialect. ◗ ◗ Sorry for the confusion in many ways!

I hope you enjoy the rest of the holidays.

I always thank the readers for their support.

I'll see you tomorrow then!
