It is the fourth day of the camp.
Boudoir. Can't you quit your job as a general?
What are you going to do if you quit?
Come to the Zaka Kingdom. Let's explore the labyrinth together
'Actually, I was thinking about that.Somehow, I felt like Lecan was falling into the realm of humans. "
Oh, I see.
The beastly general who took care of me told me that you would be happier if you went to the land of humans.For this expedition, you prompted me to beg for the [Helmudra's Helmet]. "
That helmet with the divine power invalid attached to it.
That's right. All the artifacts belonged to the Emperor, but they were sometimes loaned out when I did my homework.As a general, I have been ordained, so I can ask you to lend me my artifact. If you wear the helmet of Hamadra, when you take it off, you will not recognize the same person as me.
Then you've broken it and done bad things.
Well, it's going to be okay.
For a moment, I thought it was okay, but when I think about it, the people of the Zaka Kingdom who saw Bowd's face near the time the helmet broke were like Lecan, Eda, Delos, Dalila, and the Knights of Yuf.It might be all right. Besides, even if it's not okay, it might not be a big deal.
Lecan heard the effects of the [Helmet of Harmadora] once again.Then, the answer was from one step to thirty steps around the wearer.After all, the [Ineffective Power] divine force does not work right next to the wearer.That's why Bowd was able to use another artifact while wearing the < Harmadora's Helmet >.If Lecan got close, he could use the [Comet Slash] and [Ring of the Immortal King] as much as he liked, but it was too late to know that now.
(Although Intuadro's necklace did not respond when Boudoir used a wand that could shoot fire magic.)
(That was too close, wasn't it?)
I also heard about the armor Bowd was wearing.After the battle, I carefully picked up the pieces of armor, so I noticed.When I asked what I was going to do with it, I was surprised to hear that it might go back to normal.
That armor is called "Hearturian Crustacean Armor" or simply "Hearturian".It was an armor that struck down a giant insect named Hearturian deep in the forest, stripping off a part of its crust.Strong resistance to both physical and magic attacks.The stripped insect is called a "parent insect", but the "Hearturian crustacean armor" is naturally repaired as long as the parent insect lives somewhere, no matter how much it hurts.However, it is said that people other than those who tapped the parent insect will receive a curse if they wear it.
I don't think we'll ever have to go back to the Gideon Empire.
No. If you go home, it will be difficult for you to come back.
Well then, what do we do?
"Anyway, let's get the [Jewel of Peace] back."That's the Emperor's absolute order. "
Aren't all the treasures taken away?
The death order is the recapture of the [Jewel of Peace]. We are not commanded to do anything else.Take back the Jewels of Tranquility and the mission will be over.You can leave it to others to take home.I will let you drop out of the ranks with the skill of fulfilling your life. "
I'm not sure, but I understand.So, when you look at the [Jewel of Peace], do you know for sure that it is? ”
I don't know. But I'm bringing someone who understands. "
Delos and Dalila are tired of having meaningless conversations, and they're talking about it.Eda looked gently at Lecan as she spoke to her old friend.
After noon on the fifth day, the party arrived at Cogles.
More than a hundred adventurers and about twenty knights awaited at the entrance of the town.Viscount Nordrain Lucca, who arrived a little while ago, would have spoken to us, but if more than a thousand Beastmen were to come, we would have to lay down our defenses.
Knodrain's status is much higher than Lord Coggles's.The Nod Lane led the famous Yuf Labyrinth Knights and applied for a meeting with Zach Zykers, the representative of the Giddo Empire.And after that, there are over a thousand alien warriors.It is not something that can be rejected.
In the reception room of the Zykers store head office, I was to meet Zach.
The seven members on this side are the Beastman of the Bowdo, the Beastman of the Iris, the interpreter, Lecan and Eda, and Nordlein and Duo.
On the other side of Zak were Zak, the heir to Lord Cogles, Rior Sharbato, a butler, a therapist, and six of the two guards.
Lecan introduced the visitor's side, and the butler introduced the Cogles side.
It was Eda who fulfilled the requirements.
Master Zach Zykers, it's been a long time.
"Lord Eda, thank you for taking care of me on that day."
“Dear Rior Charbateau, it is a pleasure to meet you.”
Yes, yes.
"Dear Jakov Warren, Dear Bugnut. Have you been healthy?"
"Painful"
"Hey."
Jakov is a knight. Bug nuts are adventurers by all accounts.That's quite a few years of skill.
Lecan was concerned about Bugnut's gaze.Bug nuts twice turned a sharp gaze to the Icicle Beastman.
(Maybe you saw the sigil on your armor's chest.)
He must have been involved in a raid 19 years ago.
Eda turned to Zach.
"Due to the mysterious disparity of God of Destiny, I have been asked to guide you to the emperor of the great country far north, General Chiron."Dear Zack, thank you for your attention.Nineteen years before leaving the present, humans attacked the temple of the Gyudo Empire in the Great Forest and took away another secret treasure.At that time, it was the duty of the General to recover the lost [Jewel of Tranquility].It was placed on the left hand of the idol of God Gorzaza on the altar.It was in a magic box.Do you have any idea? ”
Zach leaned deeply into the sofa, closed his eyes, and turned his face upwards, sighing deeply.
Lecan thought he was getting old after seeing the thinned gray hair and the fine wrinkles on his face.
“I know. I sold out most of the treasure I got back then, but I have some in hand.And some of the products were not very good, but they were not sellable.Maybe that's what it was about.Cogles' appraisers can only appraise names.I'll bring it to you now. "
The butler left the room under Zach's direction and eventually returned.
I have a box. A box with a strange pattern carved into it.It doesn't look like it was made in the human kingdom.
And he brought it before him, and he greeted him with a gesture, saying,
A box was placed in front of the Bowdo and the Beastman, and the lid was opened.
The magic that was trapped flooded out.
Both of Lecan's eyes were stunned.
The beastman gently took it out, lifted it up, and looked at it.
