At dawn of the night, having completed my journey, I decided to go to the Kingdom of Sylvie, the land of the elves.
I don't know what it was like for Asha to go back to the country, but I wanted him to talk about it, and I didn't want him to sacrifice himself so much if he came back for me and for Lark.
"... I'm coming, Lark."
Looking up at the hotel she was supposed to be staying in, I said goodbye. [M]
Until now, the reunion with Lark was hasty, but this time it was very quiet.
The "Silver Balance" people were busy arranging magic ships, consulting with Lark's companion Cook, and welcoming Mr. Non's master in the morning.
That's why I'm the only one traveling today. [M]
Non's mentor said he was a genius of Recovery Magic , but he seems to be so skilled as to actually enter the top 10 in the church organization, and he has extensive experience in recovering patients with special medical conditions. In response to the inquiry in the letter, he said that he would go directly.
If so, you can leave it to the "pharmacological wise man" while he is away.
Non's senses said, "Even Master's magic was difficult to heal Lark, so I had to go see the wise man.
Lord Reggie, are you here?
Huh?
It was Mr. Yago, a merchant who met me last night at the Mayor's Mansion, who called out to me looking for a ride in a carriage, thinking about getting out of the port town of Zucker Halfen to the Keesgrain Federation along the sea.
He's fat and smelly, but he's somewhere undisturbed.
There are about three strong escorts behind us.
"Mr. Yago... why are you here?
"I heard Reiji is looking for a way to get to Santen Forest."
Mr. Yargo must have lost the "match" - I don't know what the match was in the Mayor's Mansion - by leaving the ship for the "Sage of Pharmacology".
"Why don't you get on my ship? We pass through Valhalla, the capital of the Federation of Keithgrains, but we will take you near the Three Heavens Forest. The ship is fast. Above all, unlike a carriage, you can run at night."
"Are you sure about that...?"
"Of course. I told you last night that it's a great honor to have a Red Gate hero on board, right?
"... please."
I lowered my head honestly. [M] As Non told me yesterday, I thought it would be better to learn to rely on others a little more.
"Oh, I see! Hurry up. My ship was scheduled to depart today."
"Thank you."
"No, I wanted to talk to you more last night, but I didn't talk to you because I was coming home sometime. I definitely want to talk about various things....."
Yago, who talks flutteringly, was the one who tried to steal my talent, but as far as I could see, he was simply a business enthusiastic and curious person... I don't know, maybe I'm not a bad person.
Then I got on board, and after noon the big magic ship set sail.
It's a ship for transporting cargo, but it's about 100 people on board. There seems to be nothing wrong with giving me an extra ride.
"... please tell me about Lark."
As soon as the boat leaves the harbor, the town gets smaller.
Although the magic ship was powered by magic equipment as well as the wind, and the sail was heavily swelled by the east wind.
On the deck, I was looking at a town far away, and I was thinking a lot.
About Lark. About Asha.
Silver Balance. Everyone didn't say anything about Zelly, but someday she was treated like a party member.
I also thought about Miss Eva.
"What are you doing now..."
I said goodbye in the Lev Magic Empire. I have no idea when I'll be seeing my daughter again.
I'd like to see you as soon as possible, but what is waiting for you in the Kingdom of Sylvie?
"The Kingdom of Sylvie... is part of the Keesgrain Federation, isn't it?"
According to the information I heard in advance, the Santen Forest is under the direct control of King Geffelt, the apex of the Federation, but it recognizes the autonomy of the Elves, so they call themselves the Kingdom.
It seems politically fucked up.
Asha also has a feeling that she doesn't want to be there.
"Besides, the Keithgrain Federation... has a Roten Mine (Six Mines) somewhere."
This is where Lark and I met, and my real "raw" world began.
The place where Lark acquired Shadow King and I acquired World Ruler .
Thinking about that mine still makes my mind messy.
Tied to contract magic, he lived a false peace.
Criminalist slaves with false hearts smiled, ate false meals, and drank false liquor.
But the truth was there, too.
"... old man Hinga"
Someone who taught me how to live in this world.
What would he say to me now? [M]
What would I say if I heard what I was about to do now?
"I may be... trying to do something really bad."
When Lark found out that he had lost sight, he noticed.
[Shadow King Magic Swordsmanship] even complemented Lark's lost vitality.
A 6-Star Talent cannot be enough to fly a Dark Sword.
It allows [Morisara Magnificent] not only to analyze information, but also to use learned talents.
The talent with many stars has both a quick (...) use and a stepped (...) use.
In other words,
"I wonder if there are other uses in [Mori Lu Vientiane] yet. And the [Demarcation Treaty [World Alliance]]...."
This is just a hypothesis.
But I had a feeling that there was still a possibility in the [Mora Vientiane] and the [Demarcation Treaty] - I was convinced.
But it could have pushed me into dangerous territory, like Lark, like she lost her ability to live by using her untouchable talent.
No, I'm pretty sure I'll be in danger.
"I'm sure... old Hinga will stop. Say," This is not what I did. "
Grasp the handrail on the deck.
I can't see the town anymore. I can only see the unfamiliar shoreline.
I am about to enter an unknown world. [M] However, if it is knowledge that cannot be acquired without stepping out, then we have to step out.
On the adventure ahead —— I thought I might need that knowledge.
The danger continued with Red Gate and the seaboy, and the feeling deepened.
"I'm sorry, old Hinga. It may be against your teachings, but...."
I explore the new capabilities of the [Mori Ra Vientiane] and the [Demarcation Treaty] to protect my loved ones. [M]
Yes, I've decided.
