“Lena! I'm back! Lena!”

Kordelia screams loudly and enters the cave.

It was the hot springs where Judas and Kordelia first met Wild Fairies.

“Cordelia.”

When Lena settled down in a temporary residence made of empty bathtub, Cordelia smiled brightly and ran off.

“Lena, Lena. Good news! I found a way to fix the Demon Soldier! ”

Suddenly, Cordelia sticks close to Lena, quickly communicating with the Fairy Queen.

“That's why I'm going to the shrine. That's good, right?”

“That's great. Thank you so much for everything. ”

“Oh, come on. Heheheh heh.”

Lena smiles unconsciously as Cordelia blushes her cheeks.

In fact, Lena was accustomed to this kind of favor.

Those who knew the name of Lena the saint showed great affection to Lena.

But Kordelia felt a little more special.

Not just for her sake, but for Lena herself.

“Cordelia is so cute. ”

“Huh? Huh · · Hehe. ”

Speaking kindly, Kordelia smiles foolishly, blushing even more.

But it was Lena who laughed again because she was so lovely.

“It's warm, it's warm. ”

It was when Judas, who was looking at the scene at the entrance, was delighted alone.

“So, Jude, are we going to the shrine now? ”

A dwarf Kaplan with a deep, moist look in his eyes, who even acknowledged Fairy Queen, asked with a gleaming glow.

The ruins of Solaris and the sanctuary of the Wild God.

For him as an archaeologist, it was a comprehensive gift set.

“Yes, I will. ”

“Oh. ”

Although not as adorable as Cordelia, Kaplan's dazzling face, glowing cheeks, was also enough to make him smile.

‘I see. ’

In a way, Kaplan was strangely brighter than before after this incident.

Have you found some confidence? ’

I've been told many times that I'm glad that Judas and Cordelia and Kaplan are together.

But that wasn't the only thing.

There was a slightly different reason for Kaplan's illumination.

‘I was nothing. ’

It was Kaplan, called the Catastrophe God, who caused accidents everywhere.

But in retrospect, it was an accident.) Just the appearance of a monster, like a rockslide, or a hidden trap.

"It sucks in front of you two. ’

In front of the two men who halved the city to Razor Beak Canyon instead of just destroying it.

Furthermore, it was not the first time I heard the story.

When you get to the mountains, you break them down.

When you go out into the fields, you burn the fields.

A truly devastating incarnation that destroys a city when it goes underground.

Since Kaplan himself was only a newborn's blood in front of the two of you, I should say that all the worries so far have been dull.

Of course, the biggest reason it became clear was that Judas and Kordelia had confirmed Kaplan several times, but humbled before the greater destruction was also a reason they could not ignore.

‘Let me be strong too. ’

Like Jude and Miss Cordelia.

so that no matter what obstacle comes, it can be broken and moved forward.

Kaplan, trimmed in three angles, looks back at Kordelia, giving Lena a warm eyes, and Judas narrows his eyes.

‘Something · · · something feels different than what I intended. ’

But whatever.

The important thing is that Kaplan has found his confidence.

“Jude, Jude. When are you leaving? ”

Judas immediately turned around and replied, because he had heard the call from Kordelia.

“There's no reason not to. If it's okay with Lena, I'd love to get going. · · What do you think? ”

Judas asked a little carefully.

This battle has made Lena's condition worse than ever.

The more you use your magic, the worse it will get. It was Lena who had already used a lot of magic before she joined the group.

Using a little more magical power here could have led to an irreversible situation.

When Kordelia looks worried, Lena grabs Kordelia's hand and says, "I'm fine."

“Physically, there's no big problem. Let's get going. ”

“Very well, then. Let's hurry. ”

Lunch is already approaching, so if we were to leave now, we would have to hurry to get there before dark.

About an hour ago.

Cordelia comes close to Jude, who stands at the forefront and heads towards the northeast where the shrine is.

“Jude, Jude. ”

“Huh?"

It was a pleasure to have Kordelia close by, but Judas was curious about what happened.

He tilts his head and asks, and Kordelia speaks in a murderous voice.

“We're going to the shrine. ”

“But?”

“According to the queen, the shrine is the place where the golden dragon and solar god Solaris alternate, the king of the wildlings. ”

“That's why it's a shrine to both the wildlings and the Solaris. ”

“Yes, there must be a vein in the sanctuary, right? ”

Judas nods as soon as Kordelia says so. He narrowed his eyes and said in a low voice.

“What, a preliminary murder? No, is that a terrorist alert? What are the requirements?”

“Hey, it's not like that. ”

“Why not? And put your hands on your chest and ask your conscience. I don't know if I'm saying too much. ”

“Mmm-hmm · A lot. Anyway, Jude was wrong. ”

Kordelia, with her hands on her chest, says casually as if she had heard a conscience.

And Judas sighed without even knowing it.

“Phew · · · More smoke. ”

“Because of someone evil. And that wasn't smoke. It really is the sound of the heart. ”

“Of course. What's with the veins anyway? ”

“No, just in case. ”

“Do you?”

“Uh, just... ”

“You know, I was just wondering, No Holy Land. I really can't. The Queen is in mourning. Cry.”

“I know, I know. I know. I don't want the Queen to ring, so don't worry. ”

Kordelia, who spoke excitedly, turns back to Lena, and Judas steps forward with an ominous note.

&

When it was too late in the afternoon, Judas and Kordelia were able to arrive at the shrine.

Located to the northeast of the Razorback Canyon, it was a basin reminiscent of the land of the high snow breeze, and it was a visible place from afar.

“It's the only snow there. ”

A green land in the middle of all white snow.

Moreover, it was not just the eyes.

As you approach, a warm breeze blows through the basin. It seemed like this was the only spring.

“I can feel Solary's energy. ”

It was just like Lena said.

As I entered the Seal of the Rise, I felt Solaris' power from all around me.

In a small basin about 100 meters in diameter.

A place to be alone in the winter.

“The ruins of OOH · · · Solaris are clear. It's also very old food. ”

Approaching the pillars of the gateway role installed at the mouth of the basin, Kaplan spoke in an excited tone.

However, Judas and Kordelia looked elsewhere.

“Guardian of the grave. ”

Beyond the pillars are four guardians of the tomb. There didn't seem to be any intent on harm, but the eye that looked this way was that of the Watcher.

For this reason, Judas shouted loudly, standing in his place instead of going in.

“I ask the Guardian of the Holy Land, the Blue Beard, to grant me entry! The Wild Fairy Queen sent us! ”

At the same time, Cordelia raises the bound fairy with the blessings of the earth.

“Fairy Queen sent us! ”

The light of the blessing shifts at the moment, shouting again.

You hear a loud voice as the wind stops inside and out.

“Bluebeard welcomes visitors! ”

I thought I could hear a comprehensive voice from a large temple located inside the basin, but the owner of the voice soon revealed himself.

It was a dragon with a long blue beard as its name suggests.

“I am the Protector of the Holy Land, the Blue Beard! State your name! ”

A blue scale and the fancy horn of a deer.

Although the bluish beard that looked like an Eastern dragon came forward rather than a Western dragon, it was majestic in itself, but Cordelia quickly bit her lip and held back her smile.

‘Ears, cute. ’

I had to.

It was a huge blue beard that was seven meters long, but it looked really like an Eastern dragon, so all the limbs were too short and small for the body.

But as I stood on that little back foot and walked along, I felt like I saw the harmony between my majestic upper body and my poor lower body.

Kordelia grinned and laughed, and Judas stepped forward as always.

“Jude Viel and Cordelia Chase, blessed by fairy queens. ”

“This is Indiana Kaplan. ”

“Lena Einsberg. ”

After introducing Lena, the blue beard narrows its eyes and nods.

“You're all good people. The woman in the back is strong, but · · Oh, is she here to wash that energy away? ”

It was a blue beard, not a guardian of the sanctuary.

Jude nods immediately for an accurate analysis.

“Yes, it is. Fairy Queen told me that if you are in the sanctuary, you will be able to wash away the evil energy. ”

“Hmm, indeed. ”

The bluebeard stroked his belly instead of his chin with a short hand raised his head.

“Come in! If the Fairy Queen sent you, you don't need to take the test!" ”

He roars greedily as he goes back to the temple, and Judas and Kordelia quickly look back at Kaplan and Lena.

“Let's go.”

“I'm glad the story worked out. ”

“I see.”

I was surprised by the cool attitude of the blue beard, but I stepped forward with a smile, even though I was somewhat surprised by Lena's expression.

And a few minutes.

Judas and Kordelia inside the temple were amazed.

‘What a bargaining chip. ’

Unlike the outside, which follows the general patterns of the Solaris Temple, the inside followed the patterns of the wild gods.

It's like a greenhouse outside the Western Church.

It was clear that it was an artificial architecture, such as columns all over the place, but each one seemed to fit in with its surroundings and felt like it was in nature.

Especially at the center of the temple was a pond about ten meters in diameter, and it gave a mysterious feeling of a subtle yet brilliant light from the pillars that surrounded the pond.

“A sacred pond. It's a place where anything can be washed away. ”

The blue beard spoke in a proud tone and looked at Lena.

“You can see it in your eyes. Though you are bitten by the devil's power, you are truly a good man. I will allow you to enter the pond, so wash away the darkness and reclaim the light. ”

The voice of the blue beard resounded in the temple like the voice of heaven.

Lena, who gave an example to the blue beard who stroked her belly in a holy manner, glanced at Judas and Kordelia, then approached the pond, and Judas and Kordelia looked at Lena's back.

“Hey, Blue Beard. ”

“Tell me.”

“How long will it take Lena to cleanse the demon of its power? ”

“I don't know exactly. But long enough for the demon to bite you, it will take less time. ”

It was a little vague, but Cordelia was still satisfied with her honest answer and looked back at Lena.

Lena enters the pond dressed, and the surrounding pillars glow green.

“The light of purification. Fear not, but march towards the heart of the pond. ”

Lena did not doubt the words of the bluebeard. You continue on, reaching the center of the pond, and a green light envelops her and the entire pond.

“It's okay, right? ”

When Cordelia narrows her eyebrows and asks about Lena, the blue beard nods again.

“It's all right. All you have to do is wait. ”

“Thank you for many things. ”

“I am the guardian of the Holy Land, so it is natural to help those in trouble. ”

A smiling bluish beard walked straight to the corner of the temple that looked like a home, and Cordelia tried to see only the upper body of that bluish beard.

And again, how many seconds have passed.

“Cordelia.”

“Huh?"

When he turned to the call from behind his back, Judas pointed out of the temple with his jaw.

“I'm going to go out and take a look around. ”

I had nothing better to do than stay here and rest and wait.

So it was better to keep track of the surrounding terrain as usual.

“Uh-huh · · Then I'll come with you. ”

“Well, whatever. Do you mind if I leave Kaplan alone? ”

“Yeah, you don't look bored. I'll call you back for dinner. ”

He was still clinging to the wall and watching closely.

“Mr. Blue Beard! I'm gonna go outside and get some air! ”

“Don't go far! I can't protect you outside the sanctuary! ”

A bluish beard answered Kordelia's cry, and Judas smiled without my knowledge.

“Why?”

“No, you just got to know each other. ”

“You seem like a nice guy. ”

After leaving the temple with Jude, Kordelia smiled and stumbled over the basin like a hurricane. It was to go up high and take a look around the area.

And then a few minutes later,

Judas and Cordelia, on the highest ground, frowned without a hitch.

“The Devil's Eye. ”

There were people coming towards the sanctuary from afar.

Fifty if you hold fewer numbers.

Many knights in heavy armor were from the Argon Empire, not from the wild lands.

“You're leading · · · · · Bilbine, right? ”

“Sounds about right. ”

A giant man covered his whole body with dark armor.

It was a name that belonged to a particularly strong axis, among the intermediate ones of the Devil's Eye.

In fact, Judas and Cordelia did not know, but the eyes of the devil who had lost two intermediate minds through their actions felt a considerable crisis.

This disrupts the plan to swallow the land of the wild.

Stronger numbers should be placed to contaminate the arteries in the east.

So we decided to send some elites active towards the Argon Empire, the home of the Devil's Eye, and that was the Black Knight Bilbane and his men.

“It's not just a configuration. There's quite a mixture of magic. ”

The numbers show that it was less than the previous fight, but the quality was different.

If they were fifty, they would be able to fight the Five Hundred Royal Soldiers of Seiland.

They were also preparing for a way to deal with the wildlings.

So what now?

How to protect the sanctuary from those who seek to contaminate it.

‘If you only consider a simple wave. ’

After luring him, he locked him in a basin and exploded his veins to exterminate him.

Judas, who was thinking about it, looked up in horror and said to Cordelia, who was making a grumpy face next to him.

“No, you devil. Not just that. ”

“Huh? What? ”

“No, you can't. ”

“So what? ”

“Yes, there is. ”

I felt resentful about Kordelia, who didn't know the English language, so I was impressed, but Judas looked back at Bilbine and his henchmen.

I counted the time until they arrived at the shrine.

At the same time, Lena and the Sanctuary were once again reminded of the feud.

And a few seconds.

There was something in Judas' head.
