Episode 289: Crusade for the Stone Statue in the King's Capital (4)

"Mr. Mine, why don't you let me sleep magically?

You didn't see me worried. Aisha gave me that suggestion.

... I see, should I put him to sleep?

Quickly I used [Auxiliary Magic/Sleep] in favor of Mr. Barred.

However, no matter how many times you use your skills, Mr. Barred continues to rumble.

... Has this gotten a little resisted?

In the meantime, let's try again.

... but the results remained the same, and Mr. Barred kept rambling.

But you can't give up.

Then I will use [Magic Extreme] to increase the power of magic to the bottom.

Then Mr. Barred collapsed lightly on the spot as if it had been a lie before.

I couldn't let him sleep without boosting at [the extreme of witchcraft]. Is this because Mr. Barred was highly capable of

Is it due to Shadow Gremlin's ability?

I'm curious, but there's no way to confirm it here, so this would be the retreat here.

Activating [AUTO ARM/EXTREME], I walked out with Mr. Barred in my sleep on my back.

Then a member of the "rising wind" followed me behind my back carrying a wounded and fallen healer.

"... Oh, thank you for that. What happened to the leader?

"What, don't worry. My husband just magically put me to sleep."

Silfi, who was also following me, replied to me.

Silfi is the only one of us with a "rising wind" and facial knowledge.

"Silfi, I'll take care of them."

"Sir, wait, there's nothing to explain... I don't know what's going on."

... Well, I'm the only one who can do the [appraisal], so you don't know.

So first, I decided to hold an emergency family meeting in [Reading].

"Silfi, Aisha, Fluffy, Khu... will you all listen? I'll explain the situation."

I explained to everyone Shadow Gremlin's abilities and what happened to Mr. Barred.

'... you're a horrible enemy, I wish our family had been sacrificed... so horrible'

"... uh, I know you're wondering a lot, but the explanation is neat, so why don't we pull it out of this place now?

Aisha, not Silfi, suggested Mr. Barred as he hung his restorative magic on the wounded healer.

Upon hearing Aisha's suggestion, members of the "Rising Wind" looked around.

"Well, we can't even talk slowly here..."

With the consent of the "rising wind," we were just moving to the safe zone.

That said, this is the middle of the king's capital.

There are as many safe places as you can get around a bit.

The problem is the demons of the stone statue.

But that demon won't react until we get close or attack from here.

Only before reporting to the King is whether Shadow Gremlin was created from a stone statue.

You'll need to check.

That's what I'm thinking.

It came to my attention that Silfi was gathering members of the "Rising Wind" to explain the situation.

"... Silfi, Aisha, I'm sorry, could you go back first? I just need to check a little bit more."

I really want to get info on Shadow Gremlin.

For starters, you just need to know if the stone statue is producing it.

Otherwise, there will continue to be sacrifices from the Knights.

When I searched the entire Wang capital using [Map], I was able to find several stone statues, but I couldn't find Shadow Gremlin.

... I can't judge by this alone, but I'm pretty sure you're saying that stone statues are producing them.

"Wow, I'm sorry, Ku, but will you hang out with me a little bit?

I want to launch another attack on the stone statue to see the conditions for Shadow Gremlin's appearance.

I think I can manage by myself if it's just the oak or the goblin.

But if Shadow Gremlin shows up, and you're late to realize that he exists,

I can't even see it. At worst, I become a demon. [M]

I decided to ask Ku to go out with me to prevent that.

Both Wafuru and Ku are highly capable of sensing.

Assuming Shadow Gremlin shows up, you'll find him soon enough.

... Well, here's the real deal.

Find terrain that rarely annoys the neighborhood with [Map].

... Found it! I can fight as hard as I can here.

He explained the operation to Khufu and started moving under the stone statue, which he set his aim with all his might.
