Okami Wa Nemuranai
Eight.
Eight.
After reading the letter, Duo raised his voice with his gaze towards Lecan.
"Black!"
A knight came nearby. This man is quite splendid, too.
Duo gave the knight an open letter. I mean, read it.
While a knight named Black was reading a letter, Duo's eyes were set on the lecan.
"Lord Rekan. I have one question."
"What is it?"
"The letters of His Highness and Lord Nodrain were on the seventh day of the second month. Today is the twenty-third day. What's this all about?"
"It was on the seventh day of the second month that I kept the letter in the northern tower. And I and Eda went out of Euphonia on the eighth day of the second month, and ran unto the entrance of the labyrinth, and entered the labyrinth that day at noon. And I ran this far."
"Have you been running? I hope I don't run into a beast."
"I fought several times, but most of the time I ran away from the Beast. I have the ability to detect beasts from afar. Didn't you write about it in your letter?
Duo did not answer Lecan's question and stared into Lecan's eyes.
Even with Duo's ejection-like gaze, Lecan's heart didn't bother. With a quiet but unwavering heart, Rekan glanced back at Duo.
"Black!"
"Yes, Commander."
The hunt is over.
"I see. Hey, assholes! Kill the Beast! Pick up the chest! Collect the materials!
"Black!"
At this point, Duo finally turned away from Lecan.
"Yes"
"No materials were collected. Gather everyone here."
"Yes, hey! You don't have to take the material! Collect only the contents of the chest. Meet me later! Hurry!"
The knights handled the beast, removed the potion from the chest, and assembled in front of Black. As they all gathered, Knight Black reported to Duo.
"Commander, we're all here."
"All right, everybody, listen up! Here we are, Lord Rekan of House Wazlov! The man who broke through the Tuvolt and Palsimo labyrinths."
A groan broke out, but soon calmed down.
"Lord Rekan! Letters from Master Acid Grain and Master Noddrain! You brought it! He's not here for us! The Knights of the Peace attacked the palace! Lord, Estpharin, and Sargilein are in custody!
Duo took a moment here and waited for this amazing news to penetrate the knights' heads.
"Asid Grain and Rubianafel! I stood in the northern tower with Master Nodlain and a few of my closest friends!
Duo stared at the knights in horror.
"Immediately! Go to Euphonia! Save the lord! Protect His Highness and your people!
Ooh, ooh, a voice like rage rose from the knights.
The atmosphere here is enough to flick any powerful beast.
They don't smell like knights.
(Well, if you were only dealing with beasts in the labyrinth)
(I don't think you should do it in a classy way.)
The Knights of the Labyrinth began marching toward the temple.
Rekan and Eda walked with Commander Duo Burn.
When he came near the gates of the giant temple, Rekan heard.
"Duo, can't we just bypass the temple and head for the red sand?"
"Lecan, bypass, but there's no red sand there."
What?
"The red sand on the map can only be reached when you enter the temple gate, defeat the three giants, and leave the room."
"Huh?"
"Until I realized this, when I got the god's medicine, I went back to the entrance."
"That's tough."
That's what I'm talking about.
Some holes in the huge stone door of the temple were filled with the Great Magic Stone.
Then the stone door opened to the left and right with a loud noise.
It was like a maze.
The aisle was wide, and even ten knights could have walked side-by-side. In fact, the knights of the Knights of the Labyrinth advance in five rows. Each person is well spaced and has a loose space to deal with whatever happens.
There are big doors everywhere. Rekan knew there was a very powerful beast waiting for him.
The Knights Deputy Commander, Black Olmore, walks the second row from the beginning, looking at the map and pointing in the right direction.
Surrounded by the Knights of the Labyrinth, Rekan felt a sense of dependency. It's only been a few moments since we met, but they were able to feel the strength and temperament of the Knights of the Labyrinth.
Their strength is real. Each and every one of them is powerful, but they act as if they were one creature. And their temperament is closer to that of a ridiculous adventurer than that of a sneaky knight.
It's all right now.
(According to Nodlain, it was supposed to take 34 days.)
(Reached in less than half of 16 days)
I'll leave the rest to Duo Burn and the Knights of the Labyrinth.
(There are plenty of days left)
(No more worries)
I was able to protect Ruby.
Rekan felt a deep sense of relief and accomplishment.
"Duo"
"What is it?"
"I heard it would take three days to get through the temple. Does that mean it'll take you three days to get to the Three Titans?
"Hahaha. Lecan. Sure, this temple is big, and the route is complicated, but I have a map. It won't take a moment to get to the Three Titans' room."
"Yeah? Then why did Nodlain say it would take three days?
"It takes three days to fight the Three Titans."
Rekan looked at the duo in surprise.
Duo laughed hard.
"One of the three giants has a sword, one has a shield, and one has a staff. In the Knights, enter six knights and defeat the giant with the wand first. Magic is troublesome. This will take two days."
"Are those six men packed for two days?
"No way. Six knights are replaced by knights waiting outside one by one."
Oh, I see.
"Once the wand giant is defeated, the rest is easy. Fight with eight knights to defeat a giant with a sword. And finally, ten knights will defeat the Titan of the Shield."
"Hundreds of people are going to fight for each other."
"No, of the hundred and six knights, only forty can take on three giants."
"Is there a limit of six at first?"
"If you put more, it's difficult to move. If we force a crowd in, we can defeat the Three Titans in a short time, but there will be more dead here."
"If we fight together, there will be no dead."
"Sometimes I get out."
Duo closed one of his eyes as if he had abandoned himself.
(Yeah?)
The death of the elite knight is no joke.
(What's with the look on your face?
