Paladin of the End
9: The end of the journey
"- So, my deepest apologies!
And, lower your head.
The other person, regardless of Mr. Leistoff, is naturally apologizing for the story of the fact that he zeroed in on the Temple Chief.
"Keep your head up."
I came back to the village early to apologize to Leistoff and Anna...
In the meantime, I lowered my head to Mr. Leistoff, who was caught earlier.
"Sooner or later, it's about cleaning up."
By the fields planted with wheat and grain, which have recently begun to spread a lot. Mr. Leistoff says inadvertently as he walks down the road.
"Fast or slow, no change."
…… oh, masculine. It's thoughtful.
…………
…………
Then for a while, I walk silently down the road.
Apparently, Mr. Leistoff, that's the end of this story now.
Who doesn't care about things.
"... Mr. Leistoff, with Anna, why?
I also find it a little strange that this person is obsessed with women.
I was curious, and while I thought it might be impolite, I asked.
"Seriously, you're healthy. … bonded."
It was a fractional answer.
And it was also somehow a convincing answer.
"Is that so?"
With this, Leo will be able to establish himself as the fourth faction in the current three-ways succession war.
Then silence falls again.
to the field outside the village.
"…… and you were there."
"Me?
Mr. Leistoff nodded slowly.
I snort, but I'm not connected, so I'm like, "? ♪ And I just snap my neck off ♪
"Only with this arm and sword, how far can you loose it? How strong can you be?
I wanted to try it. - That was my dream. "
Even from Bi, his medals are heard.
Poke and kill a giant people-eating spider, pick up a group of demons attacking the village, and instantly slaughter and dump the monster bird.
The martial name is expensive.
"But..."
The Next Moment.
Mr. Leistoff has no desire to kill or herald.
Hardly even making you feel the preliminary motion, trying to pull the sword out so that you can't turn around and flash.
"!"
I will reflexively restrain Leistoff's forearm. [M]
As he mows his legs so that they flow, he holds Leistoff's sword in his knees.
Almost at the same time, I held my neck.
A complete "stuffing" shape is established and the flow stops.
Then he took one breath. Slowly, long.
"……………… You are strong. Terribly strong.
When I saw it at first sight in that tavern, I realized it wouldn't arrive. "
Mr. Leistoff said so, looking up at the sky.
Bitter, laughing.
- That was the first time I had ever seen him smile.
"And that you recognized my power."
Yes, I don't want to fight him in between.
To that admiration, it makes no difference.
Even now, if I had been a little more relaxed, I wouldn't have been able to control this beautifully.
- That's why my dream ends here.
A dream awakened.
And then you get up and you live the reality, he said.
Yeah, well, his mood, I don't know.
Give up your dreams. Make a cut that's it.
By the time we got there, I wonder what he had in mind.
- I wonder what kind of mood that is.
"Add me to the subordination. You, too, will need force that can move other than you.
... Meneldor is not on par with you.
I can't accept being under you. "
Rarely rap, and prank, he said.
"- I'm pretty strong, huh?
"I know. And that's a fascinating selling complaint."
"Wouldn't you?
to his expression laughing.
I remember Anna's love story when she said that she did have an attractive smile. [M]
I don't know if I can handle someone like this properly.
I don't know - I was trained by three people and my powers unknowingly broke his dreams.
"If you don't want it, you can say no. … you don't have to feel responsible."
This one just broke on its own, he says.
But having unusual powers also means going out with it and living with it.
... If it were the three of us, what would happen at a time like this?
Even if I think about it, it's not the answer.
"I would be very happy if Mr. Leistoff could help me.
…… Nice to meet you?
I just smiled when I dealt with the complex emotions.
◆ ◆ ◆
No, there's a noise of a stick.
Pulling down with weight and muscle strength by a few people, at the end of the day, a rock with more than a handful buried on the ground moved slightly.
One of them plugs a stone in there.
"Hmm… it's time for this rock to end."
Earlier on, I was working on a new piece of land that was being opened.
Dig up the rock perimeter, float it in, plug the stone in there, plug the teco in again from another place, float it, plug the stone in…
If I repeat such authentic work and let it rise to a height close to the ground, I would use rope or colo to carry it to the corner.
If you dig it and it turns out it's a rock big enough that you can't even do it, burn the fire for a while, heat the rock, sprinkle cold water and crack it, and then treat it the same way.
Very plain, time-consuming task.
"No, you're a cleric. Can't you do something about this magically...
You know, it just floats and cracks. "
"Oh, it's not impossible to do what Mr. Daniel says."
That's what I said when one of the farmers who was working asked me that.
"Oh.... then why don't you do it"
"If you rely on it, if I die, that's it."
Some magic seems to be applicable to that sort of thing.
But magic is not very stable in the first place, nor is it a universal technology that can be used by 10,000 people.
And for as long as I'm blindfolded by immortals, I'm likely to die in battle.
"……… if you rely on someone to do something, something else will just dull for that matter"
With that said, about half the people on the spot looked convinced and about half looked dissatisfied.
That being said, things like that.
In fact, it's terribly tiring to do it with manpower, and it wastes time.
It would still be easier if livestock were used, and that's one purpose I've been traveling to and from White Sails recently.
I just can't get over that either. Still in the village, the use of livestock is orderly.
That's why...
"But sometimes cheats are good, right?
And when I laughed and said that, everyone opened their eyes, and then laughed.
It's important to check proper procedures from time to time, but it's also unreasonable to tell them to do it all with it.
"If I only did this rock, I would magically float the rest, so please just dig it out.
...... but don't get me confused that you did it too magically, huh?
When I said that, everyone nodded.
Were you powered by the word "magic is fine" after that, everyone, we'll get rid of that rock in no time.
Humans, even after doing an endless invisible exercise and snagging, "One last!" It's something that builds strength from somewhere.
While everyone digs up more and more rocks, I carve Words on the ground to prepare them.
In "The Floating Word," moving a high-weight object is an advanced technique that looks easy.
"…… be honest."
A voice was called from behind.
"Yes, a wizard is a good deceit or silence, but you can't lie."
"Ugh."
Answer, engraving some signs on the ground.
"This is a theory among wizards, but if you keep lying, the power of the Word is weakened."
- The Word is something that, by what it deals with, becomes light or heavy, and dull or sharp.
Gus used to say it on the edge of the class a long time ago, as did the Hyram master nearby.
That's why there's a handful of things that can make you a great wizard, even though it's something that will improve if you learn.
"The lying Word has no weight or sharpness"
That's what it is.
"Is that what this is about?"
"Yeah. That's what it is."
Saying so, I turned around - and opened my eyes.
In front of me, there was no man with hairy, mustache, sharp eyes.
In the short, refreshing hair, there was a young man with a neat chin beard, a grand one.
"Duh, which is too much?
He was someone else with a similar voice!
The first thought came to me, and I blushed and said those words.
"……………… It's me."
His voice, which seemed grumpy, drew me back to reality.
"Huh..."
Undoubtedly, in his twenties, this man, with the face of your son,
"It's Leistoff."
In his voice, I named him after him.
"Yep, yep, yep - heh!!?
I scream in amazement.
And Anna looked out from behind Mr. Leistoff, naughty and tongued.
"It would be amazing. He told me he was going to say hello to my father and I tried a haircut... I was surprised."
"Bi, I'm not surprised!
Everyone came together to my scream, what the hell, and they still opened their eyes and raised their voices of surprise.
"So, who?!
"It's Leistoff."
"Ugh! You, man, I did it!
If you propose grandiose with this face and standing behavior, you may be able to persuade them to speak of the Bagley Temple Chief.
"Here's a big one, you're more of a knight than a holy knight."
"Oh, terrible!
"Whoa, excuse me."
"Hahahaha..................................................................................................................................................................................................................
That's how we all laugh at each other.
Ever since I left that city of the dead, what I got.
I looked up into the sky as I was in that circle.
The autumn sky is high and clouds are flowing.
Brad, Marie. Will you look at it?
As me, I'm doing something about it.
There are many friends who don't know, who can be troubled or lost, but who can help.
So, it's okay. Don't worry.
- I'm alive, as I swore.
End of the endless inter-paladin chapter.
