Dozens of small settlements in the mine, several bonfires lit its square.

The convoy from Kahar unloads in the square and is being transported by husbands and soldiers into a warehouse lined up on the east side of the square. I see the captain of the Knights, who has led the troops, and the clerics who will probably be inspectors, colluding with the welcoming mining heads, Desio and other clerics, Basal and others.

The mercenaries are all alone and listening to the cleric apprentice boy stationed in the mine. Was it an explanation of the allotment of accommodation, and when the story of the cleric apprenticeship was finished, the mercenaries scattered, and went out to the side of the empty cabin, to the darkness where the bonfire lamps could not be reached.

Emilia and the women's mercenaries are staying together in a two-story lacquered wall house near the square. About three people walk towards the building. One of them was a ponytail woman with long hair tied behind her back.

It's her. That's probably Endora.

Ishur stared at her black shadow from above.

The mercenary women seem to be staying in the same house, regardless of the Krembel or Kahar groups or the party. Then she will be reunited with her sister Emilia this evening to be informed of the current situation of the righteous and of yesterday's decisions regarding the handing over of the Red Jade Stone.

That's a good thing......

Ishur wandered his eyes into the night sky and exhaled briefly.

Eliminated Desio from his own suspicions. The absence of a central figure who was supposed to divide the delivery of red jade stone created a great deal of confusion in the plan. He intervened himself in various arrangements to help Mira feel at risk. I also discussed it in the cabin with Coot today and gave instructions to Emilia and the others. I instructed Mira to proceed with Desio only tomorrow night, as scheduled before the start of three minutes after sunset.

Mira told Desio that she would consider countermeasures with me because the day was expected to be severely disrupted by the Kings, and took the decision to a later report. Of course, you don't have to report everything to him, and you can control how far you teach it here.

With Desio's insider suspicions exposed by Nayal, we may well be able to expose the Kings' obstruction from now on.

But what about this situation?

As far as I'm concerned, I have to feel a great deal of anxiety.

Can you say that this carries things well?

From the beginning, I feel something is missing from the righteous's plan, something that doesn't stick. There was no suspicion of Desio, even if he was at the center of things.

What were the righteous thinking, including the general clergy of the diocesan church?

Weren't they contemplating the secrets performed with Oomeo's tongue as half rituals and underestimating the danger of enemy obstruction in the light of that?

I have experience in my previous life, arranging and moving people to do my job. But naturally, I'm an amateur when it comes to organized combat and intelligence. What about Desio? I guess he has impeccable arms, as one arm of the Chief Cleric, but one way or another he has excellent political coordination and doesn't seem to have much knowledge or judgment about combat with him. Mira is probably the one who assists with that, but she also has little experience with combat knowledge of magic, and would have little practical knowledge of the intelligence field.

The information is for the Kings. We can't ignore the risk of it being leaked, but that's probably the safest way to get the Tsim Jing Diocese executives to take command, too. Candidates are not fit for purpose.

Is there not one in the righteous? Was the Holy Capital unable to arrange such a person in a complex situation, due to the national political problems of the Holy Kingdom?

There are no warriors or intellectual-savvy leaders here who can take command of the important things that will happen tomorrow night.

Was it a bad idea for me to join Professor Holy Stone? Even though it is fine that those with real red jade stones are the Emilian sisters, only those who know it beforehand are the Chief Cleric and perhaps very few sides. I understand the defensive considerations, but the certainty of fulfilling the purpose is fragile and all anxiety precedes me. My participation made me more vigilant about the Kings in return, I would rather not have joined them were their safety preserved.

... No, that doesn't make sense at a time when a large number of righteous people are already moving.

That's what I told Desio myself before.

Ishur bit his lip.

Now I glance at the three moons hidden in thin clouds.

What if the Moon God does something in this situation? Would that be my personal problem?

What would happen if the Kings had an excellent commander? Wouldn't this one get hit like a good one?

Dangerous...... I can't help but feel unspeakable anxiety.

What can I do? What does it take to crack this situation open?

I know that.

It's my power. How do you use the magic of the wind?

That turns out to be a trump card that beats the enemy.

That's all I have right now.

As Ishur jumped from the top of the ledge, he returned to the cabin where he was staying, conveying the shadow of the building.

On the side of the door layered are plates of crude wood. It's a dish that was handed out at dinner. The lower workers working in the mines bring them in.

Beside it is placed a watermelon. There's not much water in there anymore. Ishur left the dishes intact and headed towards one of the wells scattered in the settlement with a water jar.

When he returns to the front of the cabin with water in it, one hand protrudes from the corner behind the cabin, opening and closing his fingers.

Three moons, Emilia, come. Three moons, Emilia, come.

The movement of the five fingers is telling Ishl so.

The third moon was decided by Ishur and Emilia at the party, an ultimatum to tell our allies. On his way to the Holy Stone Mine, Ishur was taught some of the hand signals they use by Emilia.

I didn't bother to do that.

Many signs are still coming from the square.

Ishur gently placed the water jar on the ground and raised his head slightly, exploring the signs around him. Let the breeze blow and check with care.

There is no sign of one or the other, conveniently one of the two, of anyone else suspicious at the end of that protruding hand. Hidden magic is not used either.

Ishur approached softly and suddenly grabbed that protruding hand.

"Yikes!

The hand you grabbed along with the little scream is shaken.

Ishur quickly circled around the corner of the cabin holding Emilia's hand.

"No more surprises."

Emilia has complained to Ishl in surprise, but only whispers, telling him to whisper.

"Heh heh, isn't that hard? Even if you scream surprised, you only whisper. That's great."

Ishur also makes fun of Emilia in a whisper.

I really don't think you should scream about how much whisper a pro would be. But, well, she may have done a hand signal with half the play, too.

"Of course."

When Ishur let go of Emilia's hand, she grabbed and held that hand with one hand.

I can see Emilia leaning in the dark at night. Is she lit up?

Just kidding, but because I held hands?

Is that over-conscious, thoughtful?

"It's okay. There's no suspicious signs around. But you had a lovely voice."

"Hmm!"

Emilia turns that way.

It's dark around in the shadows of the cabin. It's a shame I don't really understand her expression.

"Hey guys, you're getting along a lot."

The shadow behind Emilia says softly. The tone is completely different, but it was the voice of that time.

The woman who attacked me in Ruddle Village. It's her voice.

"Long time no see. Endora."

Suddenly Ishur called the name of the woman who once tried to kill herself.

And I said my gaze to her right arm.

"Is that gauntlet the new one? It was broken then."

"Ugh..."

Endra bores the words.

"Well, well, Ishl. I apologize for that time, too. My sister was just ordered to do it from above..."

Emilia interrupts from the side.

Ishur flushed Emilia's intercession, staring at Endora's face and saying:

"You're a shadow worker. I guess that means the one who ordered you to kill me if you want to do it back... But this one let you get away without killing you. You can thank me for that."

Endra sinks into the dark and doesn't know exactly what she looks like.

It was with me then.

Evil spirits in the meadows, nights that have unleashed dark spirits and.

Ishur said, "Did you give my message to the one on the purple tip crystal properly after that?," he continued.

The point of Ishur's message was to say, "Don't touch me." At that time, it was decided that there was a good chance of an assassin being pointed at by Uncle Borderline.

"Also, of course I told him. That time..."

Endra's upset comes through.

"... sorry"

Endra leaned down and held one hand to her chest.

A strong force in her little fist is conveyed even in the dark.

"The lady told me. He said he helped the ladies."

What is it? You mean when Emilia and the others were being attacked on the outskirts of the city of Crembel?

"Um, Ishl?

Emilia comes in from the side again.

I know how you feel. But wait a minute.

Ishur turned a little face to Emilia and told Endra.

"More than that, there will be an even higher figure, who ordered the superiors of Zi Tsim Jing to kill me. Who's that? Aren't we gonna get to Bionato at the end of the day?

"Ugh, yeah.... maybe."

Endra replied that she was not confident.

The opponent is even more of her superior, its overhead, literally on the cloud. I know asking them won't give me a clear answer or anything......

"That's what we talked about before, right? I think I'm the king."

Emilia has said it from the side again.

She told me before that she was going to kill me or injure me and take me off the Red Emperor Dragon Crusade, and ask the Red Emperor Dragon to stay longer than Kusim, and try to hold the Kingdom of Radice.

Certainly that's something that the King of the Holy King or someone on the main road close to the King might think about. But if I were dead then, the owner of the wind magic fixture would replace Endora or be returned to the wind god, and in any case, there would be no reason for the Red Emperor Dragon to sit in Kusim.

In other words, those who are at the forefront of the Holy Kingdom, or Bionat himself, do not know why the Red Emperor Ryu sat in Kusim.

Did he not wonder? You didn't care because you meant another country?

"Ishl?"

Emilia calls out to Ishur, who has thought about it.

Well, good. I'm pretty sure from Mira's story that Bionato's ambition, his field of view, doesn't contain God's magic equipment.

"Oh, sorry"

Ishur looked over at Emilia and Endra, the two of them, and said:

"Well, fine. I'll ask Bionato directly sooner or later. The opportunity will soon come."

Ishur said deliberately after a beating.

"I'll take care of him."

It's not Endra. It is said that he has been pointing black-tipped crystals and two sets of killers, and this debt will be firmly raised with his life.

……

In the dark, Emilia will probably smile. Tension comes from Endra.

"Endora"

Ishur stared at Endra's face.

Just a slight light in her eyes.

"You're going to run an orphanage with Emilia in the future, right?

"It's..."

Endra's shadow rocked heavily.

"I already know you guys have the real thing."

Ishur continued, because Emilia had told him.

I hear Emilia whining "Ishl......" in the dark.

"So I heard about your future dreams."

I have a little sense of righteousness.

Even I have something to protect.

... so.

"You can't kill a guy like that."

Ishur smiled when he showed his teeth.

"So hang in there. Orphanages."

The light in Endra's eyes swayed slightly.

In the shadow of the leaves above the head, the sharp curved three suns and moons are hidden.

I can't even hear the hustle and bustle in the square anymore. When I looked up, it became such a quiet night, my eyes caught by the poignant glow of the moon among the trees.

The Ishurs were moving to the edge of the settlement, beneath the trees beside the fence, lurking their voices for a secret conversation.

"Let it be. Because I've already told Endra about it."

Emilia put her chest up and said it well.

That's what Emilia said and broke in when Ishur started talking to Endra, asking her to narrow down the members who would participate in the Red Jade Stone handover tomorrow night with Oomeo's tongue.

Emilia meant that when Endora entered the quarters, she explained to Endora what Ishur had told her yesterday on the shore of the lake, soon immersed in the joy of reunion.

Two women who entered the quarters at the same time as Endora are also moving as righteous men at the same party as Endora. Endra's party said there are three other men and yet another group of righteous men at a mercenary party from Khahar.

"Tomorrow I'm going to attend just because of me and the party I belong to"

Endra said in a slightly stiff tone.

"Include Endora. Six in all? Isn't that great?"

Ishur nodded and said.

"So, you know, I was told to take instructions from the Ritual Master or the Inspector Angel when I got to Oomeo's tongue..."

Ishur turned his face to Emilia.

Emilia nodded and said one thing.

"When I went to Oomeo's tongue that night, I was supposed to declare to the Ritual Master and Dielard that we had a real red jade stone."

Now Ishur nodded back.

I won't be a priest-in-chief.

Ishur looked at Endra and said.

"I think Emilia told me that the Ritualist suspects he's tipped off to the Kings. Tomorrow's delivery of the Red Jade Stone will be attended by inspector Mira Dielard, so you can give it to her as planned."

"Okay."

Endra nodded honestly.

"What about the other party?

Emilia asks.

"All you have to do is stay here and keep watching those in the settlements. Tomorrow night, if there's anything unusual in the settlement, you can let me know if you're in Oomeo's tongue or Mira..."

Through Coot, Emilia and the others are instructed not only to protect themselves from today, but also to monitor somewhat the parties they consider to be kings, the husbands and wives in the settlements and those who have been working under them for a long time.

On the second day after leaving Krembel, like the two groups that attacked me in the early morning, the Miscellaneous Ladies and Mistress may also have a Kings running dog in their midst. If they had a lot of strength and a lot of strength, it could be a big day.

There is also the matter of Desio. It is possible that the Kings know that the righteous will move tomorrow night.

"No, I guess I don't have to let you know. On that day, many of us, including Basal and the rest of the Knights, are likely to come out to obstruct the righteous. But you don't have to fight them. All those who obstruct me will be drawn to Oomeo's tongue and I will take care of everything. Even if you come to me to let me know, I don't really know the people from Kahar, so I could kill them by mistake.

"... ok"

"Okay."

Endra took a slight breath and replied with a noisy voice. Emilia has seen Ishur's prowess so badly that she doesn't like it. She answered plainly, as usual.

"Nayal may be left here during the time when the handover of the red jade stone takes place in Oomeo's tongue. I'll stick Cerda to the chief of the ritual."

Ishur cut the word there.

If Desio had betrayed him, Cerda could be in a dangerous situation. What if the husbands staying in the settlement were mixed with those like Black Spike Crystals, and they attacked Cerda to set Desio free?

Cerda could be killed.

What if Decio, who is now free, leads the Kings into Oomeo's tongue?

That man is close to the Chief Cleric. If we don't let each other get into a messy state of combat and make sure of his betrayal, we kill him beforehand, this one's in a bad position.

It makes ample sense to leave Nayal in a mining settlement.

The magic fixture of the mirror of the Spirit God will not work on Nayal either. The Spirit can go to the other side of the mirror, free or not in the mirror. That's when Yoranche showed up in the mirror.

"Who's Nayal?

Endra is asking Emilia.

"The Great Spirit of the Wind, whom Ishur has recalled."

"Yes, the Great Spirit..."

Endra, who was briefed by Emilia, is flabbergasted.

"... you called?

There was a grown woman's voice.

With its glossy voice appeared a thin, soft, shining nayal over the heads of Emilia and the others.

"Just fine"

Ishur spoke to Nayal.

"What..."

Regardless of Emilia, I can see Endra is clearly surprised and threatened by the darkness as well.

Nayal has suddenly spoken out of the darkness of nothing, but he didn't appear particularly flashy. Even if Endra can't help but be surprised, I don't think she needs to be afraid.

"Besides Emilia, I wonder if she could take a look. This girl has that red jade stone, too."

"Hmm. Really?

Nayal narrowed her eyes and looked at Endra openly worthy.

Endra solidifies.

Since arriving at the mining settlement, Ishur had asked Nayal to escort Emilia as well as himself.

"Well, I obey you because the sword commands you."

Nayal does not try to hide his dissatisfaction. Is it because the magic equipment of the god of the earth is teasing?

It wasn't like that at Emilia's time. A lot, is that because I asked too much for that and this?

In addition to what Nayal has been asking for before, including poison sights, perimeter alerts, and the surveillance of Desio and my protection at night, he has also asked Emilia to protect him since he arrived at the mining settlement. Because Emilia told me you had a real red jade stone.

"Nayal, I'm sorry. Do me a favor."

"That's okay. Before that, Swordsman explained in detail that there might be a great deal of havoc, but how could it not be there yet?

Nayal leaned her neck to the side and asked. Is that what she seemed a little dissatisfied with?

I'll explain tomorrow.

She would have asked me what I said about leaving Nayal here the same day. Nayal might be unhappy with that point because he wanted to get busted that day, he would have expected to get busted flashy.

I think he said it before, too, but I guess he wants to clear up the worries accumulated with the palace users. Let's not talk about leaving her in the mine settlement right now. I want to meet with Mira tomorrow afternoon for my last meeting. I still have a lot to contact and confirm, the situation is fluid and there may be some change by tomorrow night.

"There's something I haven't decided yet. I'm a little lost too."

"... ok"

Nayal's tone is still a lingering disheartening thing, but her expression and the feeling it conveys here is not a bad one.

"Ishur is amazing. Some lord, like a king or a general."

Emilia said military superintendent means, in this case, the generic name of a warrior, a staff officer, a method of warfare, a martial artist, etc., or any of them. Sometimes, without a leader on top, he would take command himself.

"That's not true"

I just use the memories of books I've read, seen and heard in my previous life, and my actual work experience.

That's why I can't wipe my anxiety.

"Bye, Nayal. Please do it again this evening. There's no movement in the clergy, is there?

"Yep.... see you later, sword"

That's what Nayal said when he nodded, and then disappeared so that he could dissolve in the dark.

"Will Emilia come to the mine-headed house where Mira stays tomorrow afternoon? Anyone else at the party is fine. Try to stay out of sight."

Mine-headed houses are the largest in this settlement. Mira and the court magicians are staying in the house.

When Ishur saw Emilia snort, he told Endra.

"I also want Endora and the others to be watching their husbands and other parties and Knights soldiers coming from Kahal during the day. Don't let them notice you. Because you don't have to. If you need anything, let me know or Mira Dierard, the Holy King's Visiting Envoy."

"I wonder if Dielard will give the Endoras instructions tomorrow."

Emilia has said it in a slightly disturbing voice.

Tomorrow morning, Mira, mineheads and appraisers gather in front of the temple in Desio to select the sacred stones to be brought back to Krembel.

Talk to Mira this afternoon.

"I have a meeting with Mira tomorrow afternoon. Then Emilia replaces Mira directly, let Endra know. Endra informs her party"

"... ok"

"That's just it."

The two nodded.

Ishur also let them snort back, but his heart was not calm.

I wish I had some means of communication by magic, of communicating wills and sharing information.

All the righteous are within the mining settlement, subtly in close proximity to each other. And in the same way, kings exist.

The situation is not good. When carrying out something of a battle, it is desirable to be able to communicate safely, collectively and closely until just before the start of the action.

For example, I will open a simple command post or command post in Emilia's home, and I or Mira will be stationed at the residence and place a specialist message. Collect all righteous faces in adjacent buildings as well. That's the way it should be. However, there are also kings within this settlement who can't do such blatant things, and they won't carry them that easily.

On that day, in defense, the members of the righteous will be divided into a very small group and moved to each one, to the tongue of Oomeo. At that stage, what would happen if something went wrong?

Uncomfortable situation with a unanimous ad hoc response across the righteous. You should avoid that as much as you can.

"Ishl?"

Emilia called out to Ishur, who started thinking.

"Oh, I'm sorry. That's it for tonight, then. Let's break it up on this occasion. I'll try to stay a little while and go back. I'm letting Nayal keep an eye on you, but you both better watch your back."

"Oh."

"Yeah. Good night, Ishl"

Ishur also said good night and turned his face towards Endra when he returned to Emilia.

"You too, Ishr, that's fine. Endora."

"Become"

I could see Endra's shadow trembling all the time in the dark.

Early the next morning, when the sun began to rise, Ishur left the cabin alone.

Ishur weaves his jacket, and as he heads to the door, Kurt falls asleep and calls out, but Ishur comes out a little, just to say one thing and comes out.

As Ishur stood in front of the cabin and explored the surrounding signs, he made sure to sew the shadows of the building towards the fence covering the outer perimeter of the settlement, jumping quickly as it was without stopping his legs.

Then he walked south through the woods for a while, and suddenly he jumped high in the sky as he began to see the gates of Mount Inner Ring among the trees.

He avoided strong winds and covered his surroundings with wind magic walls to keep the barometric pressure constant, rising to a height of about three thousand long steps at once (skull, about two thousand meters). If the sea level of Mount Uchi is about one thousand and five hundred long steps, the altitude will be about four thousand and five hundred long steps (about three thousand meters).

Ishur turned his face toward the sprawling of the woods of Mount Outer Ring in the south, doing his gaze to the left and right, exploring the signs under his eyes. And it conveyed a thin cloud floating at the same altitude, towards the tongue of Oomeo in the northeast of Mount Inner Ring.

Ishur slowly descended as he traveled over the destination through thin clouds down.

Black lava rock skin that swells beside your eyes. There are no signs of people around it.

Ishur then entered the shadows east of Mount Inner Ring and rose again, examining the north side of Mount Outer Ring.

Turning his eyes to the west, he saw a street stretching from the gate to Mount Outer Ring on the north side of Mount Inner Ring, into the mountains beyond it. The north side of Mount Inner Ring is close to Mount Outer Ring, and the distance between them is only about a few miles (scar, about 2-3 km).

The streets stretching through the mountains lead to Kahar. Ishur kept floating in the air, jealously observing the area around its streets.

Hmm?

For a moment outside Mount Outer Ring, a short distance from the street, near the foothills covered by trees, I felt something gleaming.

The distance is considerable. Is it a dragon? The head of the ground dragon is covered with silver scales, often reflecting the light of the sun.

Otherwise it is the armor worn by men.

As Ishur extended his right arm toward him, he developed the magic of a plaid wind around him, flashly crushing and exploding.

The greenery of the trees is covered in dark earthen smoke in an instant. Soil smoke, which spread instantaneously to a certain range, then slowly diffuses and flourishes into the sky and disappears.

Hmm. If that was some kind of group sent by Bionato.

"Woe to you, my dear."

It sounded late and low like a grunt, and zazzy, shissy, rubbing the air.

When Ishur turned himself in the air, he returned to the mining settlement.

What Ishur was wary of was the Kings coming at the Knights and other cohesive forces.

It is surrounded by mountainous areas. We can't make it to the northeast of Mount Inner Ring this evening, around the tongue of Oomeo, if we haven't reached around Mount Outer Ring at this point to deploy troops in secret.

For this reason Ishur scouted the outer part of Mount Inner Ring from the sky.

"Sword!

Nayal called out suddenly as Ishur returned up to the woods in front of the mining settlement.

"What's up?

Ishur slows down and slowly descends into the woods.

"I've disposed of two human men who attacked Rabena."

Nayal appears thin in front of Ishur.

Nayal apparently remembered the name of Rabena, who was thriving on beauty rigging.

Ishur stepped down in the woods on a narrow road that stretched to the mining settlement. Nayal also aligned himself with Ishur and slowly descended to the ground.

Has it begun?

Ishur gazed sharply and looked at Nayal floating diagonally.
