Falling Mage and the Power of Divergence

Episode 208: Mysterious Old Man

After finishing Dalta's revenge, named Warcraft Crusade, the two finally arrived at the heart of Dacrea, the Empire of Dacrea. At that time, there are three days left until the day of the covenant.

And early that morning, Seyya and D'Arta were in front of the Dacrea Empire.

"This is the Dacrya Empire..."

"The Fourth Ward was amazing, but this one's even more amazing"

The two saw the Dacrya Empire from outside the fence and could only raise their voices of admiration. Because the streets of the Dacrea Empire had developed beyond the common sense of Leiria.

Moreover, it is so far away from Dakulia Zone II and Zone IV.

"Here's the Holy Knight Arthur-One"

When Seyya finally thinks of meeting Leiria's most powerful magician, Saint Knight Arthur, she has just a little nervousness and great expectations.

Because the Saint Knight Arthur is such a magician that I rarely see him, and it is no exaggeration to say that he is an admired magician all over Leiria.

Besides, the Saint Knight Arthur is barely in Leiria for his expedition, so he's pretty lucky to just see what he looks like.

According to one theory, there are rumors that the Seven Wise Men are moving left into the dark realm in the name of an expedition mission, fearing what happened when the Saint Knight Arthur rebelled, but the truth is uncertain.

But as far as the streets are concerned, I don't think it's likely that they're transitioning left, Seiya. If this is such a city, the infiltration mission is strict unless it is as good as Saint Knight Arthur.

So you'd be right to think you're really infiltrating Dacrea for a long time on a mission, not a left transition.

When Seyya thinks about that, she can inadvertently speak from behind.

"Hello, hello, looking for the entrance?

Listening to the voice from behind, when Seyya turned back, there was an old man on a horse. The outfit is an old man who seems to be everywhere, but soon from the surrounding atmosphere, Seiya realizes that the old man is also a magician.

And when he saw Seyya, enlightened by the atmosphere he unleashed, the old man let his face loose only a little.

"Well, you've got quite a lot of strength, a lot of workout that year, haven't you?

"Oh, thank you."

While confused by the atmosphere of an old man who can't grasp somewhere, Seyya replies so that the conversation is uninterrupted.

"So why don't you look for the entrance?

"Yeah, well."

In response to the old man's question, Seyya answers honestly. It is true that Seyya was trying to find the entrance around the fence, so what the old man is saying is not a mistake.

"Then follow me. I'll show you to the entrance."

"Really? Please."

Saiya answers that, running the 'magically powered fully automatic two-wheeler' after the old man who slowly ran the horse.

"Hey Seiya, are you okay?

"Well, you'll be fine. He doesn't look bad."

"I guess..."

Approximately the anxious Dalta, Seyya followed the old man.

"What can I do for you in this city?

"Uh, I'm here to see people"

Saiya, spoken to suddenly, but returns the words without hesitation. Then the old man continued to talk happily.

"Are you close with that person?

"No, there never was."

"Well, that's again. Mind if I ask why?

"It's no big deal. It's just someone I know asks me to deliver."

Saiya tells the truth. Nothing, because I'd rather talk honestly than hide it poorly here and feel uncomfortable. Besides, the old man doesn't know what to do because Leiria is talking about it.

"Really? And how much of that strength, how much training did you get?

Seiya looked at the abrupt change of subject for a moment. And the old man didn't miss a moment of change in Seyya.

"I think that's because I've lived all my life in the outside world. Because I was fighting the Warcraft both the day it came and the day it came."

"I see, that makes you stronger"

Seyya remembered the feeling as if she were being danced in the old man's palm. So Seyya also goes out to fight back a little bit.

"That's the one you see as quite powerful, though?

"Ho, what a time for me. It's this strength this year. I've just been lazy."

"You're quite talented at what you can do without doing anything."

"Do you still understand?

When Seyya sarcastically says, the haunting atmosphere of the old man changes in an instant. With that, Seyya also instantly changed the atmosphere that wrapped around her. That goes for Dalta, too.

But after all this time, the old man never attacked me.

"I'm just kidding."

"It's a joke that's not funny."

Saiya only gets a little more alert when she says she turned her serious killing temper on the Saiyas, but she jokes about it to an old man. But the old man is not wary of Seyya at all.

"This is rude, my old blood just made a scene"

"It's noisy."

"Ho, it's an old man's play. By the way, what was Broad's end like?

It came about a topic that changed abruptly, but also Broad-Mamon, who was ruling Dacrea II, and Seyya can't hide her surprise. Besides, the old man has a tone like he already knows Seyya killed Broad.

"What the hell are you talking about..."

"You don't have to be stubborn. It's obvious if you look at that 'magically powered fully automatic two-wheeler'. That's the original model that Broad himself customized and used a lot. My eyes cannot deceive."

"What the hell are you..."

As far as the old man's tone is concerned, I can tell it was close to Broad, which was also in a fairly reciprocal relationship. But Seyya hasn't seen such an old man in Dakulia II.

"I'm Broad's old friend. Even so, there hasn't been one in the last decade."

"Does that mean I'm his vendetta?

Seyya is right, if the old man in front of you is that Broad and an old friend, Seyya will be an enemy to the old man. That could also mean we could go into battle like this.

But Seyya's predictions ended in concern.

"Don't worry. Nothing. I'm not going to do this to you. I just want to hear what Broad's end was like."

"Really?"

Hearing the old man's words, Seyya relieves herself. And I explained the battle with Broad to a great deal of mischief.

"Was it"

"Yes, it was a pretty dangerous fight. Perhaps if I had taken one wrong step, I would have lost."

"If that's what adventurers like you told me, Broad won't regret it either"

Immediately after the old man says so, the old man's horse stops.

"I got it."

"This is the entrance…"

"That's big."

A large iron gate in front of the Saiyas. That was the heaviest gate Seyya had ever seen, releasing a sense of intimidation.

Just then, a gatekeeper comes from the gate.

"Three people there, stop"

Four gatekeepers came out of the gate together. Everyone was armed without exception.

The surrounding atmosphere is more than lined up, and you can see that you are a powerful person. That's why Seyya thought she'd spend a lot of time at this gate.

But the next moment, the gatekeepers see about the old man and drop their weapons.

"Oh, you..."

"You can't be..."

Seeing about the old man, the gatekeepers bow their heads one after the other.

"Ho, I didn't know it was this far known"

"Naturally. Because you're a celebrity in this country."

"Please come through. There's nothing to look into."

"Really? Then sweeten to your words. And you two are my companions."

"Okay. Both of you, please."

That is what they said, and Saiyah and his men were passed through the gate without a thing. Seyyas whose open mouths cannot be blocked at its dismal end. Seeing those two, the old man laughs with pleasure.

"Ho, are you surprised?

"What the hell are you..."

"You're late for your application. I am Dardar-Belfegor, one of the Demon Kings."

Oh, my God, it was the person in front of Seyya who was one of the demon kings who ruled Dacrya Sixth District.
