Egret

Chapter 15. Joy

‘It must be amazing. ’

It was a processing process that didn't feel very pleasant.

Seeing the sandworms still wriggling their big trunks, Sage closes her mouth quietly, rubbing the creeps that rise along the neckline.

It was Chalna that Abel, who had noticed the group's uncomfortable look, was about to leave the nest.

“Awesome.”

“The old one?”

Somewhere Judas approaches a sandworm.

"Didn't you hear that? ’With a sleepy look on his shoulders, Baikal followed him.

“Judas? ”

“I can't believe this development is possible. ”

I was not called a sage because my former life's igret only dealt with all nature.

He was originally very interested in exploring new things and was also very interested in the natural scientific principles that occur in ecosystems.

He was always calm and grown-up, and the only moment he was as excited as a child was when he discovered a new discovery as it is now.

“It's a cycle I've never imagined……. ”

As he watches the circus, he gazes at the sandworm's movements.

Observing the greasy sand entering the sandworm's rounded mouth, passing through the rumbling wrinkles and eventually becoming a whitish sand spill, he reconfirmed Alturke's walls and buildings built of sand.

‘It was like a wilderness. A land without life or technology. Yet they coexist without prejudice to each other. ’

Judas was truly amazed at Abel's ability.

‘You've made such a beautiful land. ’

Abel was the descendant of the desert tribe Turke, no matter who said it.

He was timid and as slow as anyone else. He was meticulous, and the experience he had betrayed allowed him to look at others without prejudice.

Not only humans, but also the Demibeasts with ears and tails and the big, disgusting sandworms all live in Alturke.

That was something only Abel, not any leader, could do.

“Queek. Uweweek. ”

And while he admired it, the rest of the baggage, together with Bourne's men, made it to the Sandworm Farm.

“I didn't think His Majesty was interested in the annulus. ”

“…… Baikal, be quiet. ”

Edan looked at their master with a slightly puzzled eye, although he restrained Sue's awkward mouth.

I always look like a thoughtful and loving adult, but sometimes I get this wrong.

Every time, Edan just waited quietly, even if he didn't understand.

Rather than understanding everything at once, I needed to keep an eye on it and get to know it slowly.

Judas soon turned his back on Sandworm Farm.

Not far away was Abel's abode.

It wasn't as spectacular as a noble mansion, but it was big and tidy and had plenty of space for guests to stay.

After unpacking the escorts and resting them, they regroup in a comfortable outfit and sit around the table to talk about what has been pushed.

“Bondy, your hometown must have been hard to build up from scratch. Is there anything you're having a hard time with right now? ”

“Oh, no. Alturke just sprouted a small sprout, so even though there's a lot of work to do, it's not that hard to manage. However, as soon as more people come in, discord starts to develop, and since then, I've been thinking ahead of time, it's a challenge. ”

When timidity was added to responsibility, it resulted in finesse and prudence.

When I heard of Turke's extermination in Lubach five years ago, it was a development that would never have been achieved if I had given up everything and fallen into Naraka while causing a spiritual runaway.

Judas, staring at Abel with such a sharp gaze, bends his jaw and asks nonchalantly.

“The reason we came all the way here is not to be asked. ”

“Why do you question His Majesty's work? ”

To Judas' group, who appeared as an endless guest, Abel treated them without any question.

For Abel, Judas was still the only Savior who dedicated his life and life to me.

Trust in him didn't shake no matter what happened.

And if I were to order him to confess immediately, Abel would not ask for anything, but would gladly lift up his sword and cut my throat.

He got up from his seat and kneeled down again.

“Command, I will follow. ”

Loyalty from the Lubach Academy has been steadfast without a single tooth shaking.

“Oops. I didn't mean to ask you for something, Abel. I just came to see you. ”

“…… Yes? ”

Abel, who kneeled politely, slowly raised his head.

Likewise, the golden pupil, which had not changed at all, was facing him with warmth.

“Didn't I tell you? I'm your school friend now. ”

“Well, that's the way it is. ”

“Hmm? Was it my fault that you thought you were friends? This is embarrassing. ”

“Oh, no, no! It's not like that. ”

Abel has no choice but to go to Judas's farm.

Rather, his spirit, Turkey, replied with a naive face instead.

“Abel, no friends. Friends said it was comfortable when they were together. I told him to be honest with his friends and to protect his loyalty! But Abel is not comfortable right now. I pretend not to feel the king's burden. So there's no friends here. ”

“Turkey, please. ”

I couldn't be truthful, so I put a dark shadow on Abel's face in a spirit notebook.

Seeing him bend his head depressed, Baikal grins and snaps.

“Who said that? Friends are comfortable, honest, loyal. ”

“That's it, that's it. ”

“Well, did you learn to write a friend, Lord Turke? ”

In fact, Abel, who had learned the concept of a friend in the book, could not say anything and shrugged his shoulders.

As he approached, Baikal slammed his shoulders and successively crossed his horse.

“Hey, what kind of buff magic is that? Make it easier if we stay together. There's no such thing as a comfy friend. Honestly, we have a lot to hide from each other. You're not a soul companion. You can't just live with your friends and open up everything. ”

“Is that...? ”

“That's it. ”

Edan with his forehead behind him nodding decisively sympathizes with a sigh.

“…… I'm not saying it wrong. ”

“If you have friends who are comfortable playing, you have friends who are more comfortable and more trustworthy. It's good to talk seriously, but you don't get a hobby, you don't get along very well, or you have a friend who's not good enough to tell the story. ”

“Does that mean that there is a kind of friend? ”

“Something like that. ”

“Well, then! ”

“Huh?”

Abel looks at Baikal with a nervous face, like a boy who confesses his first love.

A timid question came to me as Baikal stepped back and became incredibly burdened.

“Am I really your mistress? ”

“What are you talking about? Now come and talk to me like a fat man. ”

Baikal chuckles back at Abel as if he were about to become a tyrant.

“I speak only once because I am unfamiliar. 5 years if weighed by sunwater. ”

“ ……? ”

“I think Abel and I have been close ever since. Five years, Ziggy. Do you understand? ”

“Ah.”

Abel nodded with a stubborn look at his confident attitude.

Baikal, who had taken out his horse, woke up Fluvi, who had fallen asleep for a long time, without enduring the strangers.

“This serpent flies to the end of winter. Wake up, Chusha. ”

“Pee……. ”

Fluvi wept without opening her eyes and fell asleep with her nose on her wings again.

Abel, surprised to see the absence of energy, asked.

“What about that?”

“Oh, this guy? Fluvida. The Blue Wyvern. ”

“Wow, is that Wyvern? But where does it hurt...? ”

“Beep.”

Fluvi cries nervously, who keeps touching her.

The wounds on the outside were healed with the help of healers, but the damage done to the commanders was not easily healed.

No matter how much water was fed by the wind, it did not grow. Instead, it vomited as if it were a wet sponge.

Most of the day I fell asleep, and the time I was awake was just a little twitching.

Baikal, who was worried about my heart, said with a familiar touch of a frowning fluby.

“Well, I was beaten by the commanders. It's not going to be any better if you get a little crappy. ”

Abel, who carefully examined Fluvi's condition, muttered.

“It could be dangerous..... ”

“What's wrong? Why? ”

“Oh, no. Having lived with the Demibeasts, I became aware of the animal's health. I'm not sure about the dragons. ”

“I hear it's dangerous. ”

Abel slightly touches Fluvi's back with a stuffy face.

“The eyes that I see when I open my eyes once a week are too blurry. Especially if you don't keep your tail straight as it is now, and you keep bending, that means you're in really bad shape. And I don't know if this is true for dragons, but animals usually have to identify information by smell, and I've heard that the tip of their nose is so dry, it's a danger sign. ”

After hearing the explanation, Baikal shakes his head with a loud voice.

“I know you're in bad shape. However, I don't know how to treat it with healing. ”

“Well, I don't know if that would help..... ”

Having noticed Abel's worrying gaze at Fluvi, he looks at her and speaks.

“There is a millennium tree called ‘Acuminata’ in this Turkish desert. ”

“Acuminata?”

“Yes, a cactus that stayed for more than a thousand years and became an artifact. Acumenata is also the name of the flower that the cactus blooms..... It was originally called the Cactus, which corresponds to the dragon tree. I was told that if I drank or bathed in this Acuminata flower, I would heal as if I had washed any wounds or illnesses. ”

“So what. The cactus flower that stayed a thousand years is a panacea? ”

Baikal mutters nonsense, but Abel nods.

“I hear a lot of people have seen the efficacy. But there was a problem.”

“What's the problem? ”

“Acuminata is a curious and fearful cactus..... They're not in one place, they're all over the desert. Then, when I see someone who needs help, they appear like mirages and give flowers and disappear..... ”

Baikal's expression, which he was seriously listening to, suddenly frowned like a rotten apple.

“Wow, creepy. What is that? Are you kidding me? ”

“I'm a legend. ”

Then Ethan and Cristina, who were listening quietly, saw one word at a time.

“Pre-installation is pretty detailed. ”

“If his flower is such an effective elixir, why would anyone want to hunt it? ”

“That's the story of the millennial tree, Acumenata, not to mention the ridiculous legend. When I was a kid, I saw the people who actually helped me! However, it is a sturdy cactus that has lived and hid for over a thousand years. I've been told that it's never in the eyes of anyone who tries to catch it on purpose. ”

“What a frightened cactus I am. ”

Baikal grunts and raises Fluvi to the front of his nose.

Fluvi, who blinks without energy, peers and cries.

“Come on, you heard me. Grandpa Cactus, we've been staying for a thousand years. Shall we go find him? ”

“Beep?”

“Yes. Tomorrow is light. Let's go find it together. ”

Judas, who was listening quietly, replied instead.

In a word, everyone's gaze turned to him as if he was offering to go for a walk in the back garden.

Judas, who had placed the Spirit of the Earth in his hand, glistened with a yellowish glow, smiled.

“When it comes to the land, I have a friend who is confident in finding hidden paintings. ”

Hmm. If you feel something familiar from the Cactus.. I don't think that feeling is very wrong. Cooluck.

It's a peaceful weekend!

I robbed a convenience store yesterday to burn down the money alone (?) I came and I couldn't beat Suma again.... and I just flew away with a bad dry finish after tearing it apart. Black...

I'll see you Monday, then. Heh.

Thank you to the readers for joining us! Have a good weekend ~ ^ ^
