Kuro no Maou

Episode 18: To the Village of Iles (1)

The robes weren't the only ones in the crate, the others contained tact and a knife one at a time.

I'm sure the wizard used it a lot, I think they're both medium and superior dishes.

I've also dealt with orthodox wizard-type guys who wrap their robes around their tacts during manoeuvre experiments.

I have captured and used robes that prevent magic, or tacts that contain magic enhancements or magic itself during combat, so I can compare them somehow.

Naturally, after the battle, all the equipment taken from both the example masks will be confiscated.

Aside from those bitter memories, I think this robe is slightly finer than those, from what I've seen and touched, and the tact seems to be made on the assumption of the use of black magic, which I can handle well.

The knife is probably a magic weapon, but I didn't know how to use it a bit, if there's a trick or a spell, I need to find out more.

When it comes to tact, not everyone can handle the wands and books used by wizards in the first place, and even the same wizards are good at fire, good at water, and so on.

Then I have the black magic. Saliel is the white magic, but the magic that deals with fire, water, wind, thunder, etc. is the color of red blue, etc. as it seems, all combined, it is called the primary color magic.

Called, it's all because some knowledge of magic is in my head with bonyards, probably one effect of a modification experiment.

Thanks to this, I was quick to understand and adapt to magical beings.

I talked a little bit about it, but this tact was apparently made exclusively for black magic, and the moment I touched it, I understood how to use this.

I suspect it's like my exclusive gear, someone even intentionally prepared it, but it would be most reasonable to assume that the wizard I used to live in was the same type as me, or black wizard.

Whatever, I'm lucky not to be ashamed to go to the village. It seems like my luck has been rising lately.

However, under this fine black robe is a pair of trunk-shaped pants, in case you don't take it off or turn it off, you can't be alarmed.

Obtaining clothes is still a top priority, though I'm absolutely sorry to get on your ropes on lewd charges when it comes to the village debut in the corner.

"Okay, let's go then! Directions. Nice to meet you, Lily!

"Yeah!"

My chest swelled with anticipation, and me and Lily started walking side by side.

Lily tells me that it is the village of Iles that will be heading there.

He imagined a mountain village in the Transcendental countryside on his own, but because it faces a street the size of which is there, it is a village of considerable size.

Because I can convince you that this is how you get through the woods to the streets.

However, it seems to be a medieval level civilization on the continent of Pandora, neither a street nor paved with asphalt, nor cobblestones, a dirt-facing road.

Still, from what I've seen, the two carriages are wide enough to pass side by side, so it's not so much a trail, no, maybe this is the main road.

"When I go that way, it's the village of Quaal."

"I see the village and the village are connected on this road"

On the outskirts of Fairy Garden, the village of Iles is closest to the cabin where Lily lives, and the village of Quaal is the next point, and it seems to take a day for Lily to fly away.

I don't know what it actually looks like without walking.

"Are we going to reach the village of Iles by noon if we keep walking?

"Yeah."

We're not in a special hurry, so let's just relax.

As such, Lily and I walk hand in hand, or in a shoulder car, even down the road under a clear sky.

Speaking of which, nobody's coming through.

It's been two hours since I started walking this road, but I still don't see any figures.

Not much of a village to and from? No, because it is modern, there are cars and trains, but on a medieval level, if you are not a merchant or traveller with a carriage, will you not leave the village?

The neighborhood, while you live, is something you will understand step by step, and you will definitely not get the right answer to think about it now.

With that in mind, I finally discover the shadow of the building forward.

"Oh, finally a village!?

I'll run over with joy and courage, Lily's on my shoulder, by the way.

The building is a small wooden house, where obvious signs of people living can be seen.

but how dare this house, the scale is strange.

"Something small."

The door, etc. is only about my neck size, bungalow, but low enough to reach that roof easily.

Reminiscent of Hobbit's house in the famous masterpiece fantasy film trilogy.

"Chrono, it's here."

When Lily was about to say it, I felt signs right next to her, and I would pay immediate attention to you.

From the shadow of the cabin, a goblin appeared with a sickle in his hand.

"You survived yesterday?

To do so, it doesn't make a difference that it's a slightly different outfit, that it's a green skin goblin, unlike being wrapped in crude boros and leather, and wearing cloth that aligns up and down.

More than that, I have the worst expectation that a monster could have appeared in a place like this, that the inhabitants of this house might have been attacked.

When I was already in a battle position, the moment I stood ready to fire a shotgun...

"Brother, do you know Mr. Lily?

"What?"

and this goblin has suddenly spoken fluent japanese.

No, I'm just speaking the original language of this world to be exact, and the modification just made my head understandable on its own, but that's not the problem right now.

"Hello!"

"Aye, hello, I'm here to sell drugs today, Wake. It doesn't look like it then"

"Yeah, today."

A public story that starts suddenly with a goblin opponent, what the hell is this all about being friendly with someone who was so genocidal yesterday?

"Oh, you know"

It's not an atmosphere of battle for now, so I'll make up my mind and talk to him.

"Oh, speaking of which, you didn't hear who your brother was.

Well, if you're not taking Mr. Lily, you don't seem like a bad guy. "

"I say Mahogany Kurono, thank you"

I don't know what the hell to say to this goblin, but I introduce myself with respect.

"Whoa, this is so polite. Hi, I'm Vaz.

Brother, what's your last name? Are you a nobleman?

"Noble?"

"Chrono is a wizard!

"Wizard? Oh, I'm dressed like that, if you ask me."

"Yesterday, they took me out of goblins with them."

"That's true, I was talking about hunting mountains because I've been getting out again lately, but hey, that was helpful, always a sman."

What are you saying that you're happy that Goblin has been exorcised?

"Hey Lily, this guy (? Isn't that goblin?

Ask Lily in a low voice because she is hesitant to ask directly to the person.

"It's goblin, isn't it?

Lily with a face like I don't know why I ask that answers all the time.

"Uh, brother, you're not familiar with monsters, are you?

"Ha, ha, I'd love to know if I could"

"Whoa, well, from us, it's the same goblin. It's totally different, but from the rest of the species, I can't seem to tell the difference."

"It's a goblin, but do you mean something else like an exorcised goblin and Mr. Wertz?

"Sasu is a wizard. You'll see in one shot."

Wertz, the goblin who laughs at me, still looks the same as I killed him all over, but the atmosphere is completely different when I'm talking to Matomo like this.

He's the same, but I think the contents are exactly like mine.

So, you're from the village of Iles?

"Oh, I'm making vegetables and herbs out of here."

So you have a sickle, and if you had a blade on its exterior, it wouldn't look anything but a murder weapon, but, um, would I get used to it in there, too?

"Is Iles Village a Goblin Village?

"No, human beings, beasts, all sorts of things. Has your brother never had a toco like this before?

"Well, it's the first time I've been around here, and it's full of things I don't know"

Yeah, I didn't lie to you.

"Well, there are a lot of villages around here that live in a mix of races.

I've been there, but some of them live on a pedigree basis, and I'm not surprised who comes from that kind of toco. "

I see, there are multi-ethnic villages and mono-ethnic villages, I thought I was a world made up entirely of only humans, but I guess races like intelligent talking monsters like Mr. Wertz are treated in the same line as humans here.

The mono-ethnic part seems exclusive, but if multi-ethnicity is fundamental, like here, there seems to be room for me in the rest of the world to accept it.

Mr. Wertz is being friendly with me right now, although I think it's a big deal that they think Lily's with him.

"Man, we're all good guys, and we'll get used to it soon, and there's some humans who want to be brothers.

As soon as we get there, we'll be in the center of the village. If Lily takes us, she'll let us in. "

"Really, thank you for everything"

It wouldn't be a bad idea to hold back too much, I'd like to hear a little more about it, but I'll decide to talk to someone else about it.

"Well, Lily would love to have the medicine."

"Yeah, bye bai!

Thus, he breaks up with the first villager, Mr. Wertz of Goblin, and heads to the centre of the village.
