Kuro no Maou

Episode 682: Fort Rights

"Lily!"

"Chrono!"

and hugs Lily hard as she jumps into her chest.

I thought it would be absolutely fine, but I still have a great sense of relief if I actually see him safe.

"I'm sorry, Lily. I'm late to come, and it's this middle of the night."

"Yeah, that's okay... because I believed Chrono would definitely come"

"What is this farce?"

"Fiona, just shut up for a second."

Right next door, Lily is pointing her mouth at Fiona, who brings tea in as she sends her cold gaze. Sure, it may be a farce when it comes to farce, but it's still true that I was worried about Lily, and Lily should be glad that I'm here to help properly.

I don't know if I could afford a single Lily, such as the opponent of The Judge's Arrow, who was a weak organization enough to clap it out, but if I left it to myself, I'm sure I'd be dissatisfied enough to be obstinate.

"Anyway, I'm glad you're safe"

All the beasts who had been caught were freed, as were the patriarchs of The Arrow of Judgment. With that, the faithful who had responded in cages in the fort also surrendered, and the battle was over.

"I'll leave the rest to Lila and the others."

Lionel's request has also confirmed the safety of her youngest daughter, Lila. You think we got along a little bit on the edge of being in a cabin with Lily?

Seen, the same white-haired Lion Beast (Warrigger) woman as Lionel partitions the scene when she majestically shouts instructions to a large adult who seems to be a warrior. The beasts who were captured were not particularly debilitated and are healthy. Although it is an unpleasant reason that it will not be unnecessarily harmed and will not be held in captivity for a prolonged period of time because it will be dedicated to sacrifice in the near future. Whatever it is, you will be fortunate that there is no such thing as a seriously ill person competing for a moment.

Released, under the command of Lyla, they keep an eye on the followers, armed and surrendered by loaned equipment in the fort. It's a reversal of position until brilliant. There really doesn't seem to be a curtain for us to come out in the aftermath, choosing the fast legged ones and sending orders to the settlement of "The Great Fang Clan".

"Where is the man of the Patriarch?

He's in jail.

"Are you okay? I'm guessing Soitz can manipulate the functions of the fort."

"It's okay because I'm rocking. If I could, I wouldn't be able to fight or escape. 'Cause we're losing hands and feet."

Losing a limb is a miserable state, like Sariel one day. Otherwise, the capture alive would have been so formidable an enemy as to be difficult. I don't want Lily to go on and brutally imitate......

"Oh, and did it seem like it had anything to do with the 'arrow of judgment' and the Crucifixion?

"It's completely irrelevant."

Good for you, then.

He said something about the protection of blue light, so he was also thinking about the possibility that he was really empowered by a white god.

"To say whether it's the blue light the Patriarch was talking about is just ether. If you really have the protection of a white god, you should be stronger."

Lily said the patriarch's battle style was basically just to use the ancient weapons in this fort. If you have the protection of a white god, even if it does not extend to the apostle, you should be able to magically strengthen yourself with white magic.

"Does that mean the patriarch just stumbled upon this ancient ruin?

"Originally, let's study ancient monuments. I found it at the end of the struggle, and besides, the great magic fixture (artifact) of the family heirloom reacted, because it's what brought the ruins back to life... pathetically, you got it wrong"

Apparently, the patriarch was not only himself, but for generations, a clan that had studied ancient ruins. Well, if I could make such a big discovery in my own generation, would I even rise? That's "I'm chosen by God" or whatever it is you manage to believe.

"If I had only focused heavily on research, I would have made a good friend with him. Too bad."

Those who can manipulate ancient ruins are not. As it stands, besides Lily, only Simon. Sure, I could have been a comforting companion if I could have cooperated, but there are things that make people want and ambitious for each other. If we acquire the powerful power of ancient ruins, this may be half the natural consequence.

"So what happens to this fort?

"Ugh, I guess that depends on what we're going to discuss. Don't worry, I won't make it worse."

And to Lily, who laughs with a bad face, I swore to throw the whole thing at her.

The destruction of the "arrow of judgment" was a major topic, both in Sarawyn and in the Varna Forest Sea. Well, what a ridiculous rumor it seems to be that we have captured and sacrificed the Beast Man was true, so it's natural to make a scene. If you're bad, it's not a strange thing to be at war with Sarawyn and the Babybeast Alliance.

However, the punishment alone will round things up, considering that Sarawyn and I originally had a friendship and that this case was only a tragedy caused by the cult denomination called The Arrow of Judgment. At least because none of the people who live around here want a war of rivalry between humans and beasts.

For one thing, the execution of the executive class, including the captured patriarch, resulted in the settlement of the case concerning the "arrow of judgment".

If so, it seems that Kathleen Branch Manager, who I abducted, was spared the execution, a critical and executive position. Still, there is no difference in being severely punished.

By allowing the case to settle, I finally get paid to complete my personal quest with Lionel.

Platinum month five. We were invited by Lionel to come to the settlement of The Great Fang Clan. When I went in, I was greeted with such a crowd that it was a total resident exit and a big cheer, I was a little, no, pretty freaked out.

I hear Lionel went around flashly promoting our work. As I turned into a little triumphant parade, I smiled hard, and Lily waved with an extra grin and headed to the hall of the chief.

"... Lionel, I didn't hear there was such a thing."

"Gahh! Everyone praises those who have raised the major pattern. Extremely, naturally!

"That being said, Mr. Lily saved me, no, all the beasts that were in captivity. I can't thank you any more for saving my life. I pride myself on my chest and get praise all over me, haha!

And, laughing out loud are his client, former chief Lionel, and his daughter, Lila. I see, when you line up like this, you're a complete parent and child. It is soggy to the point of laughing.

Now, I thought I had diverted the ancient ruins of stone, and in one of the halls, Lionel and Lila, as the "Element Master" representatives, me and Lily, on behalf of the "Great Fang Clan," turn to each other about their seats. Even when it comes to seating, I'm a lion beast of culture (Warrigger) sitting on the ground, not in a chair, so it takes the form of a moffy seated futon laying down and sitting around.

I can start with a light chat and then change to say thank you for resolving the case. I pinch those foreruns so much that I finally get to the point.

"I want you to investigate the monolith in Meteofall."

"Monolith? Hmm, you mean the stone?

Apparently, in Varna, they call the monolith thing a stone's throw. Though manipulation methods and the like have not been elucidated, you understand that sole is a core presence of ancient ruins.

Although I only think it is the same for the purpose that I saw it because I have installed it as a big fat one.

"In Meteorfall, it's not a place to come in... but if that's your favor, let's take it"

It's not just a matter of Lionel's existence, but it would be possible for him to work with other tribes to obtain permission to enter Meteophor. For one thing, this brings me closer to Monolith in grandeur.

As for this job, I'm sure this will be enough reward... Lily still won't say anything.

Is it okay to talk about that fort? After all, I was wondering if Lily was going to win ownership of the fort with her mouthpiece.

When I look at her with a chill on her side, she returns a nicotine smile. That's not the kind of reaction I was looking for, but, well, I'm looking at the flow of the story a little bit more.

"But is that really all you need? As you can see, they live in the woods, but they don't have gold."

"No, I'd rather be like this than money. We're waxing around, investigating ancient sites everywhere, but most of the important places are under strict control."

In both Royal Castles of Sparda and Avalon, the Black Forest of Farren, then the Iron Blood Tower of Adamantoria. If we finish this Meteophor investigation, the rest will be in a straight line to Carla Mara. If you think about it, this journey is going to be completely over.

"Well, you seem to be on a magnificent journey across the continent. But I was convinced. Are you familiar enough to manipulate ancient monuments as a gift of previous experience?"

"Not so much for me. Most familiar, because it's Lily."

"Really, the boulder is Mr. Lily!

Lyla seems happier for some reason. Plus, proud somewhere.

Lily, on the other hand, is just gently nicotine and still has no way of cutting out about the treatment of the fort. Maybe you're trying to get through that fort because it's not worth using?

"In anticipation of that wisdom, I have one consultation."

"What?"

"As a matter of fact, I'm ashamed I lost sight of that fort once again. Perhaps it's because of the cover-up and the fact that they're still functioning."

After liberating the fort, I hear that Lyla was represented by the Beast Man, and then the people of the "Great Fang Clan", including Lionel, who rushed, and by the time the yang rose, personnel were also dispatched from Sarawyn, for a fair amount of on-site verification and remnant hunting.

Nowadays after the case was resolved, the ancient ruins used by the dangerous organization "Arrow of Judgment" were to be managed and sealed by Sarawyn, or the "Great Fang Clan," and decided to be treated...... but I see, if the cover-up kingdom is still working, it is even difficult to get close.

"Though the place is broken, even we who inhabit the land more than in ancient times did not realize its existence. As long as that advanced junction works, we can't do anything about it."

"Then isn't it safer to leave it alone?

"Until now. Already, more than there is a precedent called the Arrow of Judgment, it will not be something that can be concealed through the concealed kingdom alone"

If you ask me, you're certainly right. It is an ancient site that would normally never be found, but it is necessary to take steps to ensure that it does not become so in the future, more than some have found it and abused it. But even if we keep an eye on it, we can't help but lose sight of the ruins themselves.

Nor is it realistic to monitor all the extent to which the effects of cover-up junctions work. I don't know, it's pretty extensive.

"So again, I want you to lead us to that fort. If possible, I'd also like to ask for the uncovered junction to be lifted. Whatever it is, let's promise to prepare a new reward as a different request."

"I see, I didn't know it was such a hassle. But, um, what do we do, Lily?

"Well... the ancient magic of manipulating that fort can be difficult because it's quite advanced"

Really? It seemed easy to manipulate the functions of the fort, and Sariel's report seemed like that, but was it actually a difficult system? It didn't seem that way, but I guess if Lily says so...... no, wait.

Hmm, and Lily roaring with a difficult face, but that mouth, for some reason, looked to me like she was laughing.

also, maybe this is a kind of match-pump thing......?

"Oh, my God, Mr. Lily, but is it hard"

"I'm just a little more familiar with ancient magic, too, and it's far from unraveling all of it."

With humility, etc., Lily spins her words to flow.

"You can go through a cover-up, but you don't know if you can make it until it's successfully lifted. And if you can disarm it, it could mean that the junction starts again."

"Hmm, I see, can you certainly think of such a thing? But then it will be difficult to monitor the ruins in the future."

Lily, who can manipulate the ancient ruins, can't stay and take care of them forever. If there's no one else who can do that, if anything goes wrong, no one can handle this.

"But it's very dangerous to leave it like this. The Patriarch of" The Arrow of Judgment "was done to that extent because he was more neglectful of ancient magic than I was, but because if a more knowledgeable man appeared, he might draw even more on the power of the ruins and cause an uninterrupted disaster"

"We also have a saying that ancient monuments are the source of great disaster. Unfortunately, I can't say it's a big deal."

"You mean the one that seals the warcraft of doom, or that has a fireball that burns down the continent? I thought it was just a fairy tale, but now I can't even tell a lie."

Put your arms together, Lionel and Lila roar in a similar way.

"At a minimum, you'll need someone who can manipulate the functions of the fort and a posture that can be monitored. But we have an important purpose for our journey, so we won't be here forever."

"Wouldn't that do something, Mr. Lily!

Lily responded with a smile that made her feel more inclusive when she was supposed to be a toddler.

"Well, then... send someone to replace me. So what?

That would be homunculus, maybe not. An artificial man of absolute obedience, following Her Majesty Queen Lily.

"Oh, you have such a person!

"My loyal men. You can get in touch with me when you need to."

"Oh, wow, the boulder is Mr. Lily!

"Um, it would be very helpful if you did, but is it good? Sending people familiar with ancient ruins to places like this."

"That's okay. Because my men will also want to study real ancient ruins carefully. If you can guarantee me that you'll let that fort go free."

"It is situated there, in the territory of our" Great Fang Family ". I can give you permission right away... but I can't even go to a wacko where I leave only the spare parts. I don't want to say that I don't trust Odora, etc., but I wouldn't feel safe if I didn't put the tribesmen down. I want you to acknowledge that."

"Yeah, of course. Because we are not going to monopolize the ancient ruins. I'll leave the watchman to you, and if you feel like it, I can teach you how to handle it."

"Well, is that true! It's a story I don't even wish for, is it really good? Speaking of one end of ancient magic, it will be a secret for magicians"

"It would be inconvenient for you to open and close the door as well, wouldn't it?

Gahh! and Lily's Fairy Joke (?) got into the bump, Lionel gave that wild arm after laughing out loud.

"Fine. That fort, I'll keep it all for you."

"Thank you. We have a deal."

The little hand of the fairy shook back the hand of the great lion beast man, and here the covenant was made.

"Mr. Lily, something's cool."

And I was Lyla staring at Lily with respect for the way she mounted the contract, but I honestly can't be happy...

Lily was definitely aiming at this conclusion from the beginning. I mean, it's Lily, no matter what you think, that got the cover-up kingdom restarted.

A bold offense after trampling that no one can manipulate the ancient ruins, neither the beasts, nor the Sarawinese. I guess I expected to always rely on myself for future management just to activate a cover-up junction that they would never break. In fact, this story is a wack cut out from Lionel's side.

With just one operation, I rolled the story all to this side for convenience. Lily only responded to the cooperation of the beasts in good faith. We got the right to effectively control that fort in the name of research while in the position we were asked to do so.

"You know, you're glad I left it to you, right?

"... oh, the boulder is lily"

It's all on her palm. All I could do was mouth a dialogue that complimented Lily, just like Lila, and stroke that adorable head.

No, really, it's a boulder... seriously, she's on my side, I think it's good.
