Reborn Ishl and the Magic Fixture of God

When the river boat approached the east bank, it drew a strange curve and turned toward the south towards the lower river.

At a constant speed, the tip of the ridge is facing toward the merchant port that extends to the south of the city.

Nokta, who rowed Ru at the stern, looked a little puzzled and smiled lightly when Ishur and his eyes met.

She was merely standing, doing nothing bow-like.

The row of boats approached the docking station where large and small river boats congregated, and sucked the boat to the empty pier with an unusual judgment.

A small pier stretching to the right of the side of the ship was covered with old rotten wooden planks that seemed to be half-immersed in the river if we were not careful to walk through it.

As Ishur jumped quickly to the pier first, he received a pebble from Romile, tied it to a nearby pile, reached for the boat, and pulled Mira and Rifia toward the pier.

Sharka went down to the pier on her own, but when she got on, the wooden planks at her feet made a creepy noise, which made the faces of those around her pale.

Everyone moved from the boat toward the pier, and as soon as I started walking toward the land with Ishur at the head, a man with a strong face rushed up from the back of the dock and complained.

"Hey, the boat stop there belongs to my union (guild)." I'm not using it on my own. "

A thick, wild-hearted man with an ingenuous mustache.

... union? Because of the bad character of the union, it's called the Arbitration, the consignee's union.

"Oh, I'm sorry all of a sudden. I'm in a bit of a hurry."

Ishur said with his thumb, pointing toward the connected river boat.

"In exchange for an apology, could you give me that?" It's a pretty good boat, isn't it? "

The head of the hidden fort of Arthur, the boat that Thibault gave him. Of course, I'm not going to be wrong.

"Geez..."

For a moment, the man's face turned into a disgruntled face, but he immediately rehearsed it and became a harsh face again.

"Well, well, now you can have a good drink."

Suddenly, Romile jumped out from behind and gave the man a handful of silver coins.

"Ah, ah, ah"

Like a man's head, the man dropped his gaze on the silver coin at hand, but raised his face at the unusual sign of approaching from behind Romile, and this time he lost his words with a stunned face.

Behind Romile were women wearing cloak hoods. At the head of it was the maid Nokta, who turned her sharp gaze to the man and put her hand on the long sword handle over the cloak. Behind them, Liffia gave a spare smile, followed by Lucia, who always had a soft expression. While Nocturna revealed a noisy murderous spirit, Liffia and Lucia seemed to be completely invisible, such as the man. But like Nokta, they both pushed the long-sword sheath back from the hem of the cloak. No matter who saw it, it was clear that it was not the only one.

Then, when the man saw the tall Sharka with a creepy atmosphere behind the party, he was completely rigid and sticky on the spot.

……

Ishur shrugged his shoulders slightly and twisted his mouth as he watched all the men wandering around the boat, not just the man's head, staring at him in a daze.

... I don't want to stand out too much, but I don't need to hide on my way back, and I don't want to wear it directly to the castle dock. I can't help it.

Large and small tents line the banks of the river, and behind them you can see stone and wooden buildings. There are lots of warehouses. The tents in front of them are filled with luggage, gear, and food. Whether the men were hardened and drunk, there were some noisy shops that were lowly from daylight.

By the way, the backstreet city where Leni was captured was immediately adjacent to the back of the building to the left and north of the riverbank.

The river port of Soleil during the day was crowded with people and busy people, but the Ishr row still stood out.

"Look, don't mind me." Let's get ahead of ourselves. "

Whether you're used to being in the crowd or not, Refia calls out from behind.

Yeah.

When Ishur answered while looking ahead, he went up to the riverbank and chose the back road, which seemed to be less crowded, and went into the city.

None of them that came and went round about, and none of them came out.

The wagon is very inaccessible, so you go through a narrow alley to the castle. There are few people who come and go, but they are extra eye-catching. The children playing on the roadside, the woman who dried the laundry by the window on the second floor, all stopped their hands, stopped their legs, and stared at Ishur and his party in a daze.

The twisting and serpentine streets headed eastward, out in front of one of the back gates of Sorel Castle, the handymen's gate, where merchants and servants entered and exited.

A narrow path runs along the moat to the left and right of the ancient gate and bridge. The walls are heavy stone and tall enough.

The gate is lined with merchant-like people and a single wagon waiting for the checkpoint. When they were all sent into the castle, and Ishur's turn came, the guards looked again at the hooded Liffirs' faces.

"Hmm?...... Huh"

Suddenly, one of the guards raised a strange voice and ran towards the back.

"Ah, you guys... no, you guys...──"

An old man like the captain of the guard asks Ishur in a trembling voice.

"Hey, wait, wait, wait."

So, from inside the castle, led by the guard who ran and disappeared earlier, a man who seemed to be more tall appeared.

I don't wear armor in plain clothes, but I wore a cape and pointed out a fine long sword. Probably from the Knights.

"Perhaps you are the Duke of Dielard's...."

Whether he was a regular knight or whether the man in the cape knew Mira, when he saw her face, he asked for her name in a shivering voice.

……

That's the fifth time it's convenient for people in the castle to change places and take their place. At last, Ishur and the others came across a familiar face.

"This, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this is

There are many people gathered outside and inside the castle gate.

Gilly, who was close to Leflaide, squinted her shoulders just like Ishur and smiled bitterly.

"I wish you could have gone deeper."

He looked sideways at the guards and officers, and at the merchants waiting for errands at the── castle of the citymen who were belled from the bridge to the edge of the moat, and at the wild horses, he distorted his tongue even further.

"The back gate has become very noisy."

Pasra Palace is a small white palace in the inner reaches of Solaire Castle.

Salon in the same room where I stayed when I was on my way to Arsal.

"Hmm, that's a great achievement." Everything went well, didn't it? "

Leflaide sits on a lavishly decorated couch with her hands spread out on her back. A gentle, full smile. I'm in a good mood.

Thank you very much.

This is also thanks to the Grand Duke's plan.

When Ishur, who sat opposite Leflaide, thanked him, Mira, who sat next to him, suddenly took over and said thank you more gently.

"... but above all, it was good that Leni Pujer took out the traitor of the Black Spire." This will reward you for all your troubles. "

Leflaide woke up and said, holding the black mask and the hidden magic device on the tabletop.

"It is a pity that this magic tool has been broken, but this is the proof that you have raised your hand greatly. I'm sure your brother will be delighted."

Yes, thank you.

Leni, who was sitting next to Mira on the right, replied with a small conversation. The smile without bowing was the same as usual, but it was the attitude of awe before the King's brother.

……

Mira and Leni sat side by side, while Rifia and Nina sat across the street. Both of them smiled strangely, and they also looked slightly nervous.

And yet, no, that's why it's so ironic.

Leflaide looked sideways at Rifia and Leni and said with a slightly lower voice.

The large window behind him, with the sun leaning westward, was about to darken.

Until a while ago, Gillette was kept at the window, but as the conversation with Ishuru and the others progressed, Leflaide was distracted, had any thoughts, told her to prepare dinner and let Gillette go down, and now there are only Ishuru and Leflaide.

After arriving at Solaire Castle, the party was guided by Gillette, who was assigned the same room as before departure. Soon after settling down, Leflaide arrived, and explained the history of the Delave River crossing in the conversation room (salon). But when the incident in the Grand Duke Arthur's circle came to a stage where he could not decide whether he should go to the South China Sea or go to the Holy City to continue gathering information, Leflaide suddenly told Gilly something and dropped him outside the room.

And Ishur commanded Federica in his heart to be vigilant in his surroundings, lest the sound of the room leak out.

Rather than appearing as a spirit god (Ishur confused the point), Lufraide seemed to be worried that the Archduke Arthur, who was travelling to join the party, would blow a bubble. He was in a good mood, but even if he obtained the water magic tool, it did not happen like a legend. He clearly agreed with the bewildered Ishuru that he should go to the Holy City rather than the Mediterranean Sea.

And it came to pass, that Ishur was of great grace, and of no shallow fate, but he was of the house of the king. It was only natural to think of taking Ishur, who had five magic tools, as deeply and strongly into his own faction as a pin.

However, Rifia and Nina on the Ladyship's side changed their faces and the air turned a little worse. For this reason, Leflaide once again took up the great achievements of Ishur and his party, and praised Leni's handiwork and tried to soothe the tense air.

But it didn't work out very well either, and it seemed that Ruflaide had decided to stop fooling around and start speaking frankly again from the front.

It's certainly not enough to have just five magic tools there, but there must be something else.

Leflaide looked around at Mira and Rifia and stared at Ishur, who was sitting in front of her.

"But after all, I think that even if I go to the Mediterranean in the dark clouds, the gods will not come and receive blessings." If the Spirit God is involved, then it's even more so. Aprosius was a god of sarcasm and sarcasm, a god of the devil. It's not going to be that easy ”

"That's what the Grand Duke said.──"

Before Ishur could respond, Liffia opened her mouth.

"But I can't accept that you should go to the Holy City first."

Liffier said something to Rufraido that was quite overwhelming. Perhaps it was because he was an exotic, nobleman of the Kingdom of Ladyship that he acted so disrespectfully.

Once again, I went to the sacred city, and I was not caught up in the royal palace or the cathedral. If we're going to collect the legends and records of the five gods' magical artifacts, we'll have to go in and out of the Royal Palace and Cathedral many times. We need to enter the main god of the cathedral again. I don't know what kind of state the political situation in the capital is now, but even if it is peaceful, it can't end without anything.

It was only natural that the Liffia dangers should be felt by anyone who belonged to the foreign kingdom of Ladis.

"Hmm..."

Leflaide didn't turn away this time, she turned her face diagonally, stroked her chin and wondered what was going on. No, she looked lost.

"Sir Vame is worried, but... now..."

Leflaide muttered in an unheard-of voice, raised her face with a determined expression, and stared at Ishur directly in front of her again.

Those eyes taste much more serious than before.

Ishuru, there's nothing else I can say right now.

Leflaide stepped forward and continued to remind her of it in a low voice.

"In fact, at the end of the summer, in the basement of the cathedral, I found a large number of forbidden books from the secret library that the ancestor Bionate had hidden."

Huh?

... that's why...

For a moment, Ishur stared back at Leflaide with a bewildered look on his face.

"My father's... as you know, Bionard's secretary is a forbidden book designated by the cathedral church, so even though some of them were dangerous, many of them were supposed to be fake or fake, in other words, they were thought to be scraps, but most of the books found were not such fake objects."

Lufraide went on to explain that “I wonder if my father had sorted out the books and disposed of them first.”

That's...──

From the side, Mira let out a strange thirsty voice.

I don't know if she had any bad feelings, but her face was pale.

"I mean, I insisted on going to the holy city of the lords, because that's what happened."

Ruflaide interrupted Mira and continued the conversation. And after a long and decisive time, I said something decisive.

"In Bionate's forbidden book, there was a book about making five magic tools into one, and about the blessing of Jerez the God."

... that's the secretary who wrote the historical facts that led to the demise of the Kingdom of Urk when he confronted Bionat with the righteousness of the holy crown.

At that time, Bionat said that one of the princes who tried to gain the throne of the Urk Kingdom had committed a forbidden crime and tried to monopolize the magic tool of God, and that the contest was the cause of the destruction of the Kingdom.

From the cerebral spinal cord to the back of your chest, the shock of being pierced by a pillar of ice is blowing, and fear is blowing up.

... that's why now. Why was the forbidden book discovered at this time?

Is this a trap? "Soon, Aprosius set it up..."

He wasn't the only one hit by the shock.

Mira, Rifia, Nina, and Lenny were all stunned.

The conversation room (salon) was frozen with frosty air.

“Of course, we've found other useful books. What I heard was,──"

Leflaide looked around at the nervous faces and continued to speak slowly and quietly.

According to the information he obtained through his muscles, in addition to the books that described heresy and forbidden magic, the records that touched monsters such as Malefior, etc., the history books that described the civil unrest in the end of the Ukrainian kingdom in which many evils and apostasy were carried out accounted for the majority.

"As you all know, the legacy of the Five Gods' Magic Tools is based on the outrage of Prince Ximenos, who tried to monopolize the Five Magic Tools in a dispute over the throne that led to the collapse of the Uruk Kingdom." In other words, the forbidden book that my father saw before he was alive was discovered. "

Leflaide seemed to know the details of the conversation between Ishur, Rifia, and Mira when they confronted Bionate.

"I wonder what else was written in the book about the magic tools of the five gods." Do you know Mr. Leflaide? "

Mira asked in a nervous, stiff tone.

"No, I don't know that much either."

Leflaide made her expression even stronger and turned her face to the side.

"The Grand Duke thinks that if we go to the holy city and read the book directly, it will be a shortcut for Ishur to achieve his true aspirations."

Liffia turned her courageous gaze to Leflaide and said in a firm tone.

"That's right, but..."

Leflaide raised his face, but his expression didn't change until he boiled.

I put aside for a moment and told him to throw up halfway.

In the holy city, it seems that there is an abrupt rush from the side of the royal palace to the side of the cathedral about the treatment of the discovered forbidden book.

The feeling of the sofa hitting the neck from the back of the head is firm and dense. It tells us that it is the best dish made with high-end ingredients, and it has a definite feel.

Lean back on the couch and look up at the southwest facing window. The cloudy sky is getting dark.

He stared slightly sharply into the sky as the clouds grew.

The atmosphere above is unstable. Thunderclouds were rapidly developing from the east.

……

Just a sigh.

Seasonal thunder. In any case, Solaire would be hit by a heavy thunderstorm.

”Nnh”

Suddenly, I turned to the door of the conversation room. Someone's coming closer.

The slightest sign eventually turns into a lively high female voice. While climbing the stairs in front of the hall, she talks about something.

The sound of knocking on the door opened immediately.

A gorgeous blonde diving into my sight. Mira.

"It was a dangerous place." We're already getting off. "

Really?

Ishur woke up from the back of the sofa and looked out the window.

At that moment, a flash of light flashed, and the roar came a little later.

The interior suddenly darkened, and the rain began to knock out the windowpane.

”Kiiii”

At the moment of light, Mira screamed and jumped next to Ishur sitting in a chair, hugging him.

"Ugh"

"Well..."

Hanging on to Mira, Ishur let out a bitter voice, and Celia, the maid with Mira on the wall, raised her voice in surprise.

It was not the roar of thunder that struck her in dismay, but Mira's bold actions.

Oh, my gosh.

Mira looked away from Ishur and deceived her the day after tomorrow.

By the way, Lucia hasn't been here in the last few days. After the story of Rufrade, Mira wrote to her brothers Rufizio and Romeo, so that Lucia hired someone else to look into the king's city.

According to Leflaide's information, Ishur and the others were unresponsive and headed for the Holy City. I was forced to jump into a rush over the forbidden book left by the first king Bionat.

... another battle between the royal palace and the church, and you're going to stick your head in that cumbersome trick.

The discouragement of Ishur and his party, especially the person himself, was quite considerable, but it could not be avoided only by doing the same. I had to check the history book in question by looking directly at the text written there, word for word.

Leflaide wrote to Salomon and Ulturo, who was still in the seat of the general superintendent, to facilitate Ishur, but it meant that there would eventually be a fierce confrontation between the Royal Palace and the Church to bring Ishur into their own faction.

Not only that, but Lufraide was even more generous. He arranged to join the royal merchant corps, whether it was the underlings of the Shinto Cathedral, the shadows of his own glory, or the regular flights to and from the Sacred City and Solaire.

It is not unusual for a royal merchant to be accompanied by officials and nobles of high standing to go up to the capital. If they were careful not to stand out in disguise, Ishuru and the others would be able to complete their journey to the Holy City without unnecessary attention.

Then Ishur and his merchants stayed at the Palace of Pasra until the merchants were ready to depart from Sorel and head for the Holy City.

Unlikely in the daytime, it is in a dark, sunken room.

Heavy rain hitting windows, intermittent lightning strikes. The gray sky is covered by a deep thundercloud.

After a while, Rifia and Nina returned from a horse ride.

"No, I had a terrible time."

Refia said that, but neither Nina nor I seemed to be particularly wet from the rain.

"It's the magic of Lord Nina's water." It's almost completely wet. "

Pointing that out, Refia and Nina looked at each other and smiled.

Leni is heading out to the south tower, packed with castle magicians. Thunderstorms make it unnecessary to hurry home.

I wonder if the rain will stop like this.

Everyone sits in the middle of the conversation room (salon), on a bench and looks out the window.

Outside, as usual, the dark clouds dropped low and seemed to be falling right now, but the rain legs were a little weak and the thunder seemed to be moving away.

"No, it's almost over. It'll clear up again soon."

Ishur answered with certainty. I knew in my hands what the atmosphere was like when the sky was high.

"Konkon"

Several times, the door rang again.

I see that Gillette-sama brought a guest.

From the open door, Romír said with a face.

It's early, isn't it?

Liffia murmured.

According to Gillette, it would still take a few days to get the merchant ready.

Everyone stood up, left the conversation room, walked around the corridor, and headed for the entrance hall.

Both Kannon doors open under the twisting staircase. When the rain stopped, there was a bright light coming from outside.

Two men standing by the door. One was a slightly taller Jilly, and the other was a short-bodied little man.

……

On the way down the stairs, Ishur stopped unexpectedly. No, everyone who stopped stupefied.

She had a dazed look on her face, even on Romiley's tail.

The man standing opposite Gillette held a pipe of cigarettes in one hand.

"Oh, this is... this is..."

The black-eyed, black-haired, black-bearded man looked up at Ishr and the others.

Large cheekbones and squishy eyes. It's like the guy I met somewhere.

... this is a coincidence. No, Aprosius is moving again.

Did you carry thunderclouds on your back, or did you bring bright rain?

The merchant looked just like the Grand Duke of Arsal, Pippin.
