It's all one flower.

293. Perpetrators of terrorism

The next side road from the new road to the city on the south bank is through the meadows.

The trucks of the overlooked mobile distributors (Praethermissa) passed through pastures where cattle and sheep were herded. The wind blowing in through the window is cool. Again, there were no cars coming around the corner.

Everyone on the carrier was practicing spells.

Some of the [magic crystals] I received at the Dossici City Mansion had the same effect of complementing the action as Farkill's personal belongings. If you hold this and cast the spell accurately, even a people without power can use magic.

The powerful words that make up the art had many pronunciations that were not found in the natural language and could not be mastered overnight.

Now one by one, he seems to be trying his best to learn separate spells.

Roark repeatedly chants that Farkil taught [Invisible (invisible) shields], Leno store manager [exorcise] in the teachings of Awellana, the people of the lake, Pinatifida [simplified junction], Elantis [lights], and Amana [exorcise] from his brother Cruillo.

On the boulder, the Kirkurs don't want to remember the spell.

... but just don't interrupt the practice, you're an adult.

Farkill thought it absurd, such as renouncing the means to protect life in order to preserve his faith. But in the Republic of Artel, which has become a Kirkulus nation, it pervades and is enforced among people as common sense.

Some "disbelieving rich" hired exterminators of the Lanterna Islanders whenever demons appeared, but those who hired and were hired were scorned as "vile" and seen with white eyes.

What, how, and what is vile about protecting your loved ones from demons? What is it about martyring in faith and feeding on demons, a noble deed?

In Artel, abandoning your loved ones and helping yourself alone is a daily tea meal, and that part is never told in the news. Reported are where and how many demons appear and how many victims. That's all.

The Wizards of Lanterna Island were doing their work of exterminating demons without saying anything, however little they scorned (offered). After coming to the mainland of Artel without rioting and fighting for his life, he immediately returns to the island.

There are rumors that expensive money seems to work, but the exact truth is, only the parties know.

... With that said, you normally use the South Vieetfi Bridge even though it has a magical protection.

Restrictions exist, but even the Lanterna Islanders can travel to and from the mainland of Artel by bus.

Few Kirkuls cross to the island of Lanterna, but they are not trapped wackos, like the Ristover Autonomous Region, which I have heard from everyone in Praethermissa.

... Well, it's murky to make a wizard completely off-limits.

Even if you have the power to fight, you probably don't riot because there are circumstances that say so. As far as Farkil could see, the life of the Lanterna Islanders seemed rich.

I guess the Ristover Autonomous Region has a big difference between the rich and the poor.

Amiella the needle has a backpack full of things, dressed in good clothes, whether she is hired by the wealthy to earn a high income.

Boy soldier Morph was buying a smile from the servants of the mansion, wearing a borough and eating like a wildcat, many days not even on a meal.

They couldn't get to Locke, either. I haven't heard of a few years old, but they're just malnourished and small, about the same as Farkill, or maybe older.

I was fed plenty of nutritious food in the mansion, which made my skin glow better and my body, which was a poor phase, a little healthier.

The same goes for Captain Solniak and Medvege. Were they living a little better, not as good as Morph, but still before and after leaving the mansion, they have obviously changed to the better.

Farkill saw Medvege steering the steering wheel of the truck next door.

Forests loom ahead. This is the hardest part. On the map, a dark green representing the forest continued until a little in front of the city of Plum, while the side road to the city of Maust passed through the woods, which also stretched south.

"Boy, that was..."

"Earlier...? Oh, [exorcism] and [exorcism] are still working."

"Right."

Medvege's voice has a palliative color. He's a Kirkurist terrorist, but he can't resist being magically protected. On the contrary, earlier I asked Farkill to use the technique.

... Aren't fundamentalists like star markers wacky?

If the news is bad for Kirkulus fundamentalist organization Star Mark, when I was at Artel's home, I saw it scattered on the internet news that broke through censorship.

Since the target of terrorism is a wizard, the Artel government will not control it by Locke, nor will state broadcasts or newspapers report that it is a terrorist attack. It's all cleaned up as an "accident," and sometimes as an outburst of magic, the wizard of the victim is made the bad guy.

Occasionally, there were even members of the group who deliberately rode to the island of Lanterna to carry out suicide bombings.

"Those who do evil deeds must be eradicated in order not to cause another tragedy to the demons of the Three Kingdoms."

"Retreat the wicked and the evil demons by the light of the wisdom of the saint Kirkrus Lacteus"

"Do not step off the path indicated by the stars"

During the holidays, members of the star sign were always seen speaking in the crowded city square.

The people of Artel accept it as a natural sight. Busy people passed as they were, and those who didn't stopped and listened.

Nobody skips a field trip to a star sign.

Farkill's parents applauded the speech, although they were not members of the star sign.

"Father, Mother, let's go."

"Listen to me, my uncles are talking about something important right now."

"Pfft. Boy, something still small. Adult stories are hard, boring, aren't they?

At a young age, on my way to the department store with my family, I was stopped for a speech. I pulled my mother's hand, but put my index finger on my lip and said Shh, and my father scolded me.

A ladies group member who was stitching the hedge and handing out billas gently stroked Farkill's head and took it in with a smile.

The person was on TV news a few days later.

Says he broke into a building on the island of Lanterna with a car full of bombs. Unusual, the star marker made a statement of the crime and provided the state-run broadcast with the footage they had taken to make it show.

From pre-departure declarations to break-ins, the digest of a series of attacks flowed into the home at dinner.

Farkill was young at the time, and the contents of the declaration are difficult to understand. I couldn't even swallow the circumstances as to what happened to that woman and why she did it. It's just that someone I just met a few days ago, being on TV, was all I could remember.

Years later, I remember Fu and found out more on the Star Mark site.

A list of martyrs is made, proudly lined with "effects" and a history of the activities of their members.

She's the only one who died in that suicide bomber.

The car broke through the door of the commercial building and entered, but the building body was protected by surgery and safe. The people inside were also slightly injured thanks to various protective magic hanging on their clothes. It was also instantly healed by the healing magic of a rushing spelldoctor.

She was the only one who died instantly, but the star sign tells us that, too, she was murdered by the wizards in bad business.

"Are there people who don't die in flames?

"Wizards are like demons. Unwitchcrafted flames don't take a scratch."

"She, righteous and innocent, beautifully proved that fact and was summoned to the saints"

The results report page is decorated with words that beautify her death.

That day, Billa, handed to me, was something she made. "Give me the power to burn down the wicked," the accompanying images of Billa lined up words to solicit funds for the purchase of gunpowder and fuel.

The objectives of terrorism are fundamentally different from those of the Medveges.

... Well, life's hard, 'cause you're not a wack to get laid and terrorize. But...

Captain Solniak, the attack on the Star Way Prostitutes could have been prevented if the Nemoralis government had tried to prevent it. If we had improved the lives of the Autonomous Communities and helped more people gasping for extreme poverty like Morph, there would have been a very small number of people who would have been yaked and normally taken down as criminals.

Farkil shifted his eyes from the side of Medvege, who was unlikely to kill anyone no matter what he saw, and looked ahead to the new path into the woods.
