We go deep into the forest.

However, it was a terrible departure to talk to his friend, Moen.

"It's fun to have an adventure with my brother this way."

Rooty grabbed my sleeve and said,

Well this time is good. Rooty is also happy.

Ears of the wolf of Picli and Litt moved. There is a whistling noise.

Litt gently turned his upper body, and an arrow flew in front of him, jumping against the ground.

"Tise"

"I understand"

Tise rushes to a nearby tree at an unprecedented rate.

"Gyu !?"

A scream was heard, and a human fell from the tree.

"I hurt ... what are you doing?"

An aged man, who seems to be over 70, is painfully waving. It was a face I had never seen in Zoltan.

"That's a line here. It's suddenly firing an arrow. You won't complain if you're killed."

Litt says indignantly.

"No, no arrowheads, no arrowheads. It looks like a sleeping arrow."

I pick up the arrow that fell on the ground and show it to Litt. Instead of an arrowhead, a round wooden weight is attached to the tip of the arrow.

A two-letter rune inscribed with an arrow would seal the magic of sleep.

"I was going to sleep and go home. I don't think I'll hurt you."

The old man abandoned his bow and raised his hands and waved his palms to surrender.

"Eagles are hunters living in this forest. I don't want to be disturbed by the peaceful life. I only live in this forest. But watch out is already a habit. I'm sorry. "

The old man laughed with his wrinkled face crumpled.

"I'll do the eagle's fur to apologize, would you miss it?"

The old man points at the fur clothes he is wearing.

Probably bear fur.

Litt snapped his nose.

"But grandfather, you smell another person, that's the person we're looking for."

"Hate?"

The old man bows.

The next moment, the old man's arm was blurred by afterimages, and while blinking, he pulled out an arrow with a steel arrowhead from his quiver, and shook it down to Tissé behind him.

Tise takes a half step and dodges a blow.

An arrow pops out of the old man's left sleeve with a click. It is a cylindrical bow using a bamboo spring called a bamboo shaft.

The aim is between Tise's eyebrows. It was a surprise blow.

"What !?"

The old man's eyes are opened with astonishment.

Tise was gripping the arrow just before her eyebrows, even though it was a blow from almost zero distance.

Tise throws the arrow away, and slashes his leg, trying to get close to it with the agility of an old man.

The old man falls to the ground. However, he was passive with his left hand and tried to get up without a break.

"Gu, nuh ... when did you pull out? Lord, strong nou"

However, when the old man notices Tise's short sword in his forehead, he drops his shoulders as if to give up.

And

"You are a young lady! I am a follower! Please escape now!"

The old man shouted with a prepared expression.

I put my strength in my feet to go around with "Legs like lightning". But it didn't seem to me chasing me.

"Young lady ..."

A fearless man with Halbert.

A tall man with a battle ax and a stiff face.

A man with white hair and a hat and a mace in his hand.

And an old woman who seems to be warm with her hand on her waist.

Four former adventurers, Moen, Galadin, Xien, and Miststorm, run here. We were finally able to meet them again.

"This is it."

We were guided to a small village in the woods, following Mr. Storm.

8 sheds. But three of them had no signs of being used for a while.

"Young lady"

We met six old men armed with bows and swords. Two people are even older than the elderly outside, holding a bow from the hut window.

"Okay. They're the Zoltan heroes. They're the ones who keep the current Zoltan."

The old men lowered their weapons according to Mr. Storm's words. However, he keeps his glanced-in gaze and is ready to be ready for battle at any time.

"Everyone doesn't use much."

Is each one as good as a knight in the royal city? The body is indeed declining, but it is a companion to the three other than Luti.

"My proud subordinate"

Mr. Storm responded to my words with a smile.

"Hey Red. These guys."

"Oh, those who were in the newspapers."

Sailors who appeared on a ship with the mist master during the raid on the goblin and saved Zoltan.

"I know everything"

Mr. Storm seems impressed.

"Even though I can leave me alone, I've been with me all the way to this age."

The eyes of Mr. Storm are gentle. Despite this situation, I was glad to be able to introduce others who I was proud of to others.

"But even at this age I'm ashamed of calling you."

"I'm a young lady for myself!"

A very old man shouted from the window. It was hard to get up and was caught in the window sill, but his voice was strong.

The mist who heard that laughed in trouble. Moen and Galadin were laughing as well.

"Ah, Moen, a message from Ademi."

"Muh?"

"I don't need to worry about my house because I'm there, work harder."

Moen's expression becomes cloudy.

"I'm sorry, but there is no danger to Zoltan. As a security guard of Zoltan, I do not intend to go against that one point."

"I know."

Despite the fact that South Marsh was on the verge of riot due to the Big Hawk's blight in the Devil's Blessing Case, Mohen himself trusts that he works for Zoltan without greed. The weakness of family love is a weak point, but I think it's just right as a guard who guards the town of Zoltan because he's human.

"It would be helpful if you could say that ... but Red. Who is the one who was good with the previous case?"

"It's a drugstore"

Moen frowned, disapproving of my words.

"It's a rule of Zoltan not to look into the past unless it's necessary."

Master mist blocks it.

"This time, the heroes who protect the current Zoltan have to know about my past. That's it. I don't usually hear each other and why they're here. Galadin, Xien "

Galadin and Bishop Xian nodded firmly. Mr. Storm smiles with a smile at my face.

"Now, that's my house. Come on, don't hesitate."

That's why I went into a hut a little bit better than the other huts behind the village.

"here you go"

Rum is set on the table. To be precise, it's grog because it's diluted with water.

Rooty and Tise, who do not drink much, seem to be in trouble.

"I'm kidding. I'm so happy that anyone who noticed me was Moen."

When Mr. Storm smiles with a mischievous smile on her face, she replaces it with a cup of tea and mixes just a scoop of the original cup of rum with the tea.

There, I put a little more butter.

"Hot buttered rum?"

"Yes, you know well."

A good hot drink on a cold day. A colleague told me a recipe during the Knights.

"In Veronia, sailors take the excess rum back home and use it for cooking and such cocktails by mothers and wives. The taste of rum is also a symbol of family members."

"After all, you are Veronia."

"Yes"

Fuyofuyo and a lump of fog crawl from the back room.

When you see us, the fog ... Horror Fogg hurryly hides behind the mist master.

"I'm sorry, I hurt you."

Mr. Storm gently spoke to Horror Fogg. Little research has been done on horror fog's intelligence, but it may be as high as a dog, if you look at it now.

The horror fogg injuries seem to be already cured. Bishop Cien would be magic. Horror fog is a kind of viscous, slime.

"Okay, these people won't hurt you anymore, huh?"

"Oh, no more."

When asked by Mr. Storm, I obediently said so. It was doubtful that the words would lead to horror fog, but at least it was apparent that he was no longer hostile, and as he shook, he came out of Miststorm's back, shaking the fog.

"Yes, I'll show you this girl."

"show?"

"My past. Let this child project my memory into the fog as a vision. Is it convenient?"

Mr. Storm reaches out to the fog with a gentle face. The fog clings to the mist master's old hands and dances, as if the puppy was playing.

"please"

As the horror fog swayed as if kissing her cheek, it spread quickly and covered the entire room with fog.

Eventually, the tables and chairs disappear, and gulls can be heard from a distance.

"The sea ... in a ship"

The room has changed completely. The room squeaks and the whole room slowly shakes. Although it is not actually shaking, if you shake the entire field of view, you will feel like shaking your own body.

In the middle of the room, a woman in a white expensive dress sadly looks down.

"Is this a young mist master?"

"Yes, it was young at this time."

"This ring"

Litt noticed me. When I look at a woman's finger, I notice that there is a gold ring with a emblem.

"This emblem belongs to the Veronian royal family"

The neighborhood suddenly becomes noisy. The shouts of the men sounded, and the sounds of the metal hitting each other.

The young mist looked anxiously around and took a cane leaning against the room.

The door opens wildly.

"Hoo"

The man who appeared said. The man's face resembled Prince Salius, but his eyes were sharp and his expression was confident.

"After all, the best treasure of this ship is nothing."

"What are the pirates for? Are you afraid to know that this ship is a Veronian royal ship?"

"Is it a Veronian royal family? Well, a royal family who sells a princess as a duke's concubine has such dignity."

A pirate's mockery turned his mist face red with shame.

"Dummy! Even if I now lie down in the humiliation, I will always regain the kingdom of Veronia! If you can make it ... "

"I couldn't do it because I was in my concubine. That jizzy is just a lecher. I don't want the bravery like a woman. I'm interested ..."

The pirate approached the mist and put his finger on his chest.

"Kyu"

The mist is surprised and covers his chest with both hands.

"That's it. When I get tired, I'm just pushed into a harem and live without completing my whole life."

The pirate whistled a little at the gaze of the mist who glanced at him.

"I hate that kind of life. I can leave nothing but luxury."

"I am a princess, I live for Veronia, die for Veronia, I was born for it!"

"It's a cramped way of life"

"Does pirates understand the life of royalty?"

The pirate's face smiles grinning.

"Yes, I'm interested in the way the royal family lives.

"What……"

"You're a treasure trove of value, I'm sorry to give that Duke."

"Kyu !!"

"I'll get you. I'm a pirate."

"Oh, you are!"

"Don't worry, you don't have to give up on your dreams ... I will be king."

"To the king ...? Are you a pirate?"

"My blessing is" The Emperor. "It is a rare blessing of the rare that only the first king of Avalonia had."

Is it blessing of "Emperor"?

The illusion shouted without any fear of me.

"My name is Geyserik! I don't have a last name, I don't even know my parent's face, it's just Geiserik!" But I'm the king of Veronia!

"Eh, oh ..."

"Princess! I want you to be my right arm! I want this pirate, Geiserik, to teach me how to live the king! Instead, I'll reclaim the great kingdom of Veronia, which isn't licked by you shit for nobility. do!"

Pirate champion Geiserik. Later King Veronia strongly pulled the mist's arm.

While staggering at first, the mist eventually follows Geiselik with his feet firmly.

They walked out of the narrow cabin door and out into the large outside.
