At that time, there was a big fuss in the royal city of Duropea.

The reason is that the northeast cold village area has become a regular message. No matter how minor the area, there are merchants who regularly carry supplies, and soldiers and officials come and go with instructions.

If we compare human activities to living things, the flow of those people can be said to be the blood of society. However, the flow of the person disappeared all at once. As if he had a heart attack and died suddenly.

Of course, the municipality that felt something had happened dispatched soldiers, but this time the soldiers did not return to see what happened. Reluctantly dispatching more soldiers, they returned with horrific reports.

What a huge eagle-shaped beast! Moreover, the estimated size is at least one kilometer long. It is an almost flying island.

Such things can no longer be done with human hands. Inevitably, they will cling to the god, but this time the temple that worships that god is silent. It is said that anything is so serious that a policy cannot be decided immediately.

People were horrified. Even the temple can't immediately decide on a policy ... because the incidents that are taking place are too much for the hands of the gods.

And at that time. In comparison, a very small topic was running through some people in the city. It is a story that Miss Amoena, a dancer who was regarded as a next-generation star, disappeared.

Her inn was suddenly destroyed, and many of her guests were rescued and evacuated, leaving her alone. However, since most of the luggage had been left on the scene, a story about whether it had been abducted in a jumbled burst out of nowhere.

But there were no witnesses. At the time, the heavy rains had hindered traffic, and only a few testimonies could be obtained from the people at the inn.

However, people's interest was in another case, and few were interested in the disappearance. Even better, nobody would have linked these two cases.

However, a few days later, the temple changed the situation with the mention of these two events.

"In this case, the southern demon King Kuders, who abducted the dancer, Miss Amoena, stood up to her hometown, where she even expelled Miss Amoena." This is because the southern Demon King, who has been relatively friendly to humanity, turned his tusks clearly on humanity.

Thus, the country and the temple were the main players, and a subjugation quest for the southern Demon King Kudels was issued. ...... but.

"Wow, what is this !?" Adventurers who saw the scene stood up stunned.

"Is this a tree?" "I can't see anything else, but ... is it a strong impact or a sense of tension?"

In front of them was a tree wall. It is as if the trees with the art were fused together into a single tree, rather than a number of trees growing side by side. In addition, the trees are blossoming colorful flowers, as if a flower field was spreading overhead.

"For the time being, how do you proceed ...?" "Well? The road is completely buried with trees.

So they decided to explore around this strange forest. However, as a result, it was found that all the roads were crushed. After all, you can't search without a way. The abandoned adventurers decided to stay close to home and consider measures.

Night of the day.

"What are you trying to do! Are you still the country's best adventurer?"

Shouting at the camp is screenwriter Uffizi. It's a bug that doesn't help, but keeps pushing for Amoena's worries.

"While doing this, my Amoena-san ... Ah, ah ah ah !!" Adventurers watched her roll in a camp tent with white eyes.

"Well, what are you up to?"

"What? Fog?" "White smoke ... bad, this is fossilized breath ..." I noticed that a night attack was set up, but it was already too late. There was no time to call for help, and their hands and feet stopped moving, ticking.

After confirming that the adventurers have completely stopped moving, the forest starts moving. The buds grew all at once from the roots that had been buried deep in the ground, and at once the place used by the adventurers for camping was turned into a forest.

-Thus, the adventurers' starters were annihilated without providing any information.

The fossilized breath of Cockatrice is guided by Fresberg's weather operation ability, and a wide range of night raids from a long distance. Moreover, concealing information does not allow any countermeasures to be taken. This sly tactic of Kudels has caused many times the adventurers to suffer severe damage. Eventually, the gods began to move when the adventurers, who had greatly reduced the number due to this request, began to pull out.
