Far eastern sky horizon that is far more sumptuous.
The end of the thinly sprawling blue sky is sinking into the blue blue blue.
Fire Dragon approaching from up, down, left and right.
A controlled attack I've never seen before.
... Red Emperor.
Are you involved in this?
"Ishl."
There was a voice of rifia in front of me.
"Excuse me, can you give me one iron spear with the magic of gold?"
Refia smiles.
"I'll do the right"
And her eyes were pointed at Mira next door.
"I get it. Then I'll take the left."
Mira also smiled back at Rifia and turned her gaze to the fire dragon rising up the left slope of the mountain.
"Sharka!"
At the same time Mira screamed, the magic of gold flashed like a comet over her head, and countless iron balls of gripping magnitude appeared.
"Ah."
Ishur returned to me as a hack to the mighty brilliance of Sharka's magic.
"Vescortino!"
Then the brunette girl puts up a cane.
There was Marya behind Mira and Rifia.
When the magical brilliance of gold disappeared, a flash of fire ran through the air.
Hot wires thrust through my back. I could feel the fire elves moving forward.
... Fight. Don't think about it now.
Turn your consciousness to the different realms of the Golden Spirit.
"Refia, take it"
Ishur stared into the eyes of the silver-haired girl.
For a moment the light of his eyes burns up as a flame.
The burning flames turned red brilliant. The martial arts arrow was activated.
And before her, the light of one muscle appeared as the space ripped. Light lines become instantly heated iron spears.
"Hehe."
Refia did not take that heat for a thing, but grabbed the iron spear that floated in the universe.
Romir and his servants have silently pulled out their swords, all of them keeping their backs low. The bearded men unloaded and scattered on the slopes of both wings of the ridge.
Only the guides of the village of Parago, Abato, stand on the spot.
Ishur looked back and said to the frid at the head of the squad.
"I'm going forward."
Ishur went through next to Nina, Benito and Lilina and out in front of the frid.
Nina follows Erlina overhead. She holds the stick in both hands, and Dimars Benito sits on one knee with his right palm against the ground.
The two sides of the water and dirt seem to be defensive.
Lilina and Fridd pulled out their swords, lowering their hips and staring forward.
Fridd won't say anything if Ishur leaves before he passes by.
By the time Ishur had taken the lead, Vescortino had already been involved in one of the two fire dragons, one of them coming straight from the front.
The fire dragon, bitten by the fire jinn, descended on the mountain and raised a roar of anger.
Bescortino is blowing a flame out of his jaw (and afterwards) and tightening a fire dragon out of his whole body.
The same fire attributes as each other. Why, it's not easy to settle without an attacker.
The other firedragon comes in a straight line along the same axis line towards Ishur.
"Marya, lower Vescortino!
It's easy to terminate the two firedragons ahead, but it will involve Vescortino.
Ishur turned around and shouted at Marya.
At that time, Lifia and Mira moved almost simultaneously.
The two of them were gauging their time or had not yet started attacking.
Fire dragons, which had divided the summit to the left and right and had risen to lick the hem of the mountain once it had descended sharply, approached a distance of approximately two hundred long steps (skull, about 130 m).
Mira paid silently and horizontally when she discarded the chant and turned her right hand forward.
Moment after moment, the iron ball that was floating over her head was released towards the Fire Dragon. Countless iron balls glowed warmly and drew orange light to pierce the fire dragon, penetrating it and slipping out behind it.
Fire dragons filled with holes clashed more and more into the mountain skin.
"Huh!
One or Refia threw Ishl's produced iron spear at the Fire Dragon with a stunning form.
One spear flew up so as to protrude a low altitude that touched the mountain skin, piercing it straight through the torso as it pierced the jaw of the Fire Dragon, exiting around the base of the tail and flying backwards.
A fire dragon pierced his torso from his head by Lifia's spear, lifting a bloodshed from his back and falling to the slope of the mountain. The blood smoke that danced through the universe ignited and dyed the area red.
Bescortino was disappearing when Isul turned around. The second dragon, who was fighting the fire elves, also rose in the sky and headed for the crusaders.
The first dragon follows the ridge of the summit, approaching directly from the front.
……
Fridd and Lilina tensioned their entire bodies and sank their hips even further.
Nina and Benito, with the support of water and earthly magic, the two swordsmen are highly capable. Fire dragons and I will be able to fight more than each other.
But Ishur was willing to put together the ensuing Fire Dragon and end them both at once.
The dragon's jaw opens as he heads in, and the flame begins to whirl in the back.
We're already in the range of fire dragons throwing up flames.
Ishur remained upright and stared silently at the fire dragon.
... Dragon, be the wind.
Moment after moment, the leading dragon became dust and disappeared. Red and black stained dust is blown up on the western ridge. The second fire dragon also disappeared as it penetrated into the dust, and the increased density of blood smoke sparked a red flame, diffusing to the ridge of the western mountain, thinning and disappearing.
"Whoa."
"Awesome..."
The first time I saw Ishur slaughter a dragon, an exclamation was raised from the frid and the lilinas, but Ishur ignored and looked up to the sky.
"The one left..."
The first rising fire dragon was swirling over Ishur and a row of others, at least a thousand long steps (skulls, more than 700 m) high.
The shadow of the Fire Dragon, with its wings spread over the sunlight, rises and looks blinking and sumptuous.
... Was that directing?
Ishur stared at the ominous shadow, narrowing his eyes and dancing in the sky.
It could be the equivalent, long-lived one.
Long-lived dragon breeds are said to become as intelligent as humans. I don't even compare to the Red Emperor Dragon, but I guess he has a lot of intelligence.
... sword, you were brilliant.
I can hear Nell's voice, who has never shown any signs before, right in his ear.
... That looks like the head of the Fire Dragon Herd. I'll take care of that dragon.
"Can't you hear anything out of that dragon?
Ishur asked Nell a question in a whisper that no one could hear.
... I think you can communicate with me of your will, but you won't talk about anything.
I see.
"If you don't break your mouth, you can kill me"
...... YES.
As Nell's voice echoed from his ear to the back of his brain, suddenly multiple blades of wind appeared above him.
The blue and white, semi-circular blade of wind magic emerged from a space of nothing and slowly flew towards the swirling Fire Dragon.
Fire Dragon immediately notices a sharp descent and tries to escape, but there is too much difference in speed. Several blades of wind staggered with black shadows that blushed and fell at sharp corners of the feathers.
"Gaggan"
And the Fire Dragon gave the roar of the end.
The shadow disperses.
The scattered torso and feathers, by the way, raised the flames and fell to the hem of the mountain as they twirled and rotated.
"Hmm, brilliant. All of a sudden, five firedragons appeared and crushed their liver, but nothing happened."
"With Mr. Ishur, it's easier to deal with Fire Dragon."
Frid and Lilina, who were by my side, smiled at Ishl and said.
"Master Ishur. Thank you for sharing your prey."
"Neither do I. Thank you, Ishur."
Rifia and Mira call from behind.
"Oh...... Yeah."
Ishur also smiled and nodded to those around him to show him, and he went back and spoke to Abbat, the guide, who was suddenly solidifying.
"Do you always have that smart Fire Dragon? And five of them."
"Huh? Ah, oh. There may be five of them. That's better than you..."
Abbat was in the wind at first, like he wasn't here in his heart, but he managed to get back on his feet and point a mixed glance of threat at Ishur.
"Was that mighty wind magic, the rumored sword of Yveda, about you"
……
Ishur shrugged her shoulders slightly with a grin.
"He may have attacked me because he's just a strong wizard master of the royal family"
Avato took the liberty of concluding whether it was also any basis. He also seemed to be forced to convince himself.
"Why are those guys on the mountain? Always what?
Ishur ate down and kept asking Avat questions.
"Oh.... yeah, but I don't really know"
It was a conversation we had yesterday. Abbat nodded in small pieces many times bewildered.
……
Ishur glanced away again and did it to the east sky.
That controlled move. Why is the Fire Dragon always arrayed on the ridge on the outer edge of this basin? On a mountain with nothing. Just because you want a good view? 'Cause it's easy to find the big warcraft to feed?
"... is that all? Why are they..."
No one could hear Ishur whining and he was instantly erased by the wind blowing up the summit of the mountain.
The flock of five Fire Dragons was quickly exorcised, but a new problem soon rose.
Abato and three other guides hired in the village of Parago said they would return to the village on the spot.
They were scared to notice the aggressive movements of the Fire Dragon they had never seen before.
"You can still see it from here, can't you? Around that slightly lower corner. There is said to be a" satchel of the earthly gods ”, and there is a path down from there to the southern Medium Basin. You'll find out if you go. If you go down that road for a whole day or so, you'll reach the first village of the basin, the village of Agonia"
Avat keeps explaining to Ishl and Fridd.
Avato said, "I hope you're with me when you get there, but we're the only ones home. If Fire Dragon strikes me like that again, I can't get away with it. I'm sorry, but before another dragon gathers again, we'll be dispersed," he said, "and he's been dealing with breaking the contract for guidance along the way. I naturally don't demand payment of the rest of the money either, I've said I just need an advance.
... I don't mind...
Ishur is silently listening to Avat, staring at Frid's face.
Abbat and other village guides never seem to be intimidated by the look of it. I guess they are calmly judging about the return journey and negotiating.
"You just have to get off that peak, don't you?
Fridd said in a low voice.
"Oh, yeah. Magic Master."
"Fine. When you return to King's Landing, you'll be in trouble again in the village of Parago."
Fridd nodded with a face he said he had no choice, and admitted Abbat and the others were on their way home.
"Oh, your wind magic was amazing. I follow high spirits I've never seen before and... Without us, you can safely reach the village of Agonia. I don't care."
Does Abbat have some kind of magic apparatus, and when he told Ishur so, he went back the way he came early with his fellow villagers.
"Well, you have no choice. For now, do you want to go to what they call the" earthly god's seat ”?
"Right."
As Fridd nodded, Evan and Siebeth approached.
"I will guide you to the village of Agonia."
Somewhat older than Evan? In his late twenties or so, Siebeth, with a face as common as the other bearded men, said this again in an uncharacteristic voice.
"We are going to be ahead of us from the village of Agonia"
Siebeth and the three others who had been on reconnaissance earlier were supposed to separate from the main unit as soon as they crossed the mountain and precede them to Canabal in order to carry out their maneuvers against the cave regiment's executives, Salio.
"Mm-hmm. Do you? Lord Marya is no stranger."
"Yeah."
Then Marya nodded as she stopped by.
"Be careful with Salio. Basilia at the head might anticipate this move and hit something with his hands. We could be trapping Salio for bait."
Ishur reminded Siebeth once again of the last thing he said at the meeting in the village of Parago.
That Basilia is a clever woman is what Seguro and Feldar have said many times.
It will be time to pass on this information, the face and movements of the Royal Crusaders, to the Hole Regiment as well. If she's a smart woman, as rumors have it, she can think of a way to adjust and narrow it down to Salio.
"Ha."
Siebel, who should be so older and more experienced than Ishl, bowed his head without any hesitation.
"If the Hole Regiment is setting a trap, I'd be delighted to get on with it."
Evan was rare, he showed his white teeth and laughed and said.
……
Ishur laughed and nodded thinly as well.
Evan says it's his hand to intentionally put him in a trap and let him hit the lead, or alarm him.
If Basilia moves first, that's easier to do. Combat power is overwhelmingly higher here, so you'll be able to flip it with force moves, even in unforeseen circumstances.
Basilia has a limited number of hands to use. All she could do was move some of the city's inhabitants to continue the guerrilla battle, once we dive into the underground temple and start interfering, and turn off this supply.
That brings Sario to an abbreviation. If so, she will have more options for countermeasures.
"If the enemy catches you, bring two days."
Lilina has been harsh on Sieves.
Marya standing on the side is not like her, she turns her sharp gaze to Sieves.
Marya demanded the same thing from Lilina.
"Yes."
Siebeth mysteriously bowed her head to both of them.
... If we do get caught by Basilia, we will be subjected to severe torture. Siebeth and the others were supposed to circulate false information to the enemy in that case. Turn Salio around, measure the separation between the city's inhabitants and the bandits, and this one gets his hands on it first from the city.
But in fact, at the same time as the arrival in Canabal, it was decided at the evening meeting in the village of Parago to go straight to the Lords' Hall, which is the Azito of the Cave Regiment, to make contact with and secure Salio himself, as well as to kill everyone below the head Basilia, and to capture their executives if possible.
If the manoeuvres were exposed and countermeasures taken, the result would be to scratch the back of Basilia.
"Let's hurry first. We'll be down the mountain by sundown."
Rifia prompted me from behind as the Ishurs spoke in a whisper.
... that there are five Fire Dragons and that they have launched an organized attack. About Basilia and the Hole Regiment.
But now, before my eyes, there was a more important problem.
We have finally come to the point where we come to a basin with an underground temple.
The time to be vigilant is approaching for the intervention of the moon god Lelia.
Lelia could do something about it first, during a confrontation with Basilia.
"If there's no movement there, it's time to fight Malefioa in the underground temple..."
Ishur turned his gaze southwest, toward those with basins, whining in a voice just small, unheard by anyone.
The direction of the Medium Basin, desired from the top of the ridge (please), was seen with a strip sinking in a thick mist.
It was seen as a small shadow in the ridge transmission of the mountain that the guide of the village of Parago, Abato and others, were raising one hand to say goodbye.
After the Fire Dragon raid, Fridd acknowledged their return earlier than planned, and Abbat and the others returned to the village.
The Ishurs proceeded west as they were on the summit of the mountain, and at a slightly lower point of altitude known as the "Hip of the earthly god," they found something like a gentle mountain hem path down to the south, from which they descended towards the basin.
The one at the foot (foot) was still covered in thick fog, and I wasn't sure what the "Medium Basin” would have looked like.
In the evening he reached the flourishing altitude of the trees and camped among the flowing bushes of the small creek.
We were able to find a stream near the spring water successfully, but the surrounding area was blocked by grass and poor vision was a difficult point.
It was a place where the discovery of the Warcraft was delayed and difficult to fight.
Fridd densified each tent and increased the number of watch numbers to tighten warcraft vigilance.
"Ishur, do you have a minute?"
……
A little lantern hanging in the tent illuminates the two girls.
I was about to go to bed, and Rifia and Marya came into Ishur's tent.
"I have something important to talk to Ishur about. My servant, if you'll excuse me, will you please move to the tent of Evan for a while? I've been talking to him."
Lifia went on to speak to Romir, who was in the same tent.
She said she wanted to pay people and talk to Ishur and the three of us alone.
"Yes. Okay."
Romir replied generously and went out of the tent with a shitty look in his eyes at Ishur.
"Uh, something."
I've had terrible eyes last night in a shallow cave beneath the canopy. Ishur said in a mixed, exploratory tone of anxiety.
... Marya and I came in, and it sounds like a serious story from Refia's tone, but we've never gone beyond caution anyway. How dare you, Romir didn't come back as he was, and he became the feather of sleeping to be pinched by these two, oh my god, it can happen.
These guys, especially Rifia and Mira, don't trust them at all.
"Mm-hmm. It's about today's fire dragon raid."
"Ishur, you cared so much."
Lifia and Marya said as they sat across from Ishur.
……
Ishur's face became something serious.
You mean...
"That Fire Dragon attack was a lot of collaboration."
"That's so rare. Probably lived a very long time, and that's what gave the instructions."
"Yeah."
Ishur nodded with his face from Marya to Rifia.
You two are the best parties, back then.
"Ishur is..."
"You remember the Red Emperor Dragon?
... right. But I guess I'm not the only one who remembered him.
Refia lost many of her own soldiers in the battle against the Red Emperor Dragon, and Marya lost a mercenary unit she had arranged for herself.
Especially Marya, who acted with me until I was on the verge of fighting Red Emperor Dragon. I'm the one who asked Cal the Wind Spirit to return her to Fugo and keep her away.
The Red Emperor Dragon and I both had the same causes.
"I didn't feel right then."
Ishur told the two honestly about when the Fire Dragon attacked them.
"The guide in the village of Parago said there was a Fire Dragon's Nest, but the sudden appearance of as many as five Fire Dragons, their movements could not wipe away the feeling of unnatural. Every Fire Dragon is like a family of Red Emperor Dragons. The Red Emperor Dragon is the king of fire dragons."
"Hmmm......"
Lifia made a difficult face and put her arms around her in front of her chest.
"Ishur, what are you trying to say?"
The lantern fire placed towards the edge of the tent shakes slightly. Outside, from time to time, I hear night birds roaring from the woods.
Marya's eyes stare at Ishur.
"Wasn't that fire dragon attacked at the top of the mountain under the orders of the Red Emperor Dragon?"
Ishur spoke of doubts that were obsessed with his heart.
"Are you telling me that the Red Emperor Ryu was watching over you?"
Lifia's voice gets louder.
"No, that's not what I meant..."
Ishur let her face down and mumbled at her lack of confidence.
... Rifia's right, that's not possible. If you mean to keep an eye on me, why was that fire dragon in the mountains of Brectas? It's been a long time since I've seen Fire Dragon up close. If the Red Emperor had ordered his family Fire Dragon to keep an eye on me, he would have already appeared in some mountain field.
"When I found Ishur, the Red Emperor Ryu was giving instructions to attack him that way, you mean?
What Marya would say would be different, too. That would mean that the Red Emperor Ryu had long anticipated that I would head to the underground temple of Brektas. That's the impossible story.
"The Fire Dragons attacked because there were so many people here, or because there were so many magic guides"
That's what the conductor, Abbott, also said.
"... right"
I don't know......
Ishur nods powerlessly.
"But it's true that those five Fire Dragon attacks were strangely linked. I know Ishr wonders about that."
"Hmm."
"Sure, there are firedragons around this basin."
"But it's not weird to have a firedragon in the back of the mountain. There will also be more fire dragons and ground dragons in the mountains of Butektas, which extend southwest of the basin"
That's what Trash Rouge arranged for me, it was also written in the "Brectas Mountain Magazine". Before that, however, it was common knowledge that there were many large warcraft living in the mountainous areas of the south-central part of the continent.
"The conductor, Abbott, said there were many firedragons around the Middle Basin."
I wonder if it's because there are several human villages in the basin.
What Mary is saying is that those fire dragons are their favorite, maybe they are targeting large livestock such as cattle and horses kept in the village.
"But it wasn't written in mountain history, and Abbott didn't particularly touch it."
If there are other edible warcraft, even fire dragons are not so close to the solidified cities and villages of humans.
Livestock would be a treat for them too, but I'm sorry that if we attack a human village, the Fire Dragon is intact. Attacking villages like those where mercenaries and wizards are present can cause serious injuries, even if they are not fatal.
It would be troublesome for Fire Dragon to be attacked by bows and arrows and spears in a group, even if they were just villager opponents.
"So they're roaming around the basin, even though they're not attacking livestock."
That's a funny story, too, Lifia continued.
"There are several large flocks of fire dragons, one of which happens to be territorial around the basin, and I wonder if it feels like it"
"That's it, Ishr"
and Refia nods loudly.
As well as academically not knowing anything, such as the ecology of the Fire Dragon, it is also the dragon species that struggles over the territory of a homogeneous herd.
If so, how would the Red Emperor dragon be involved in Brektas' territorial struggle far from his own residence?
Considering that, there is no possibility that the Red Emperor is involved in the raid of the Fire Dragon during the day...
"You have nothing to worry about. In the first place, there is too much distance between Higashiyama and Brektas, where the Red Emperor Dragon is hiding. It's Ishr's struggle."
Lifia smiles and says.
... You two didn't overlook my suspicious look during the Fire Dragon raid. I guess that's because we had a connection to each other with the Red Emperor Dragon, but Refia seems to think of removing the anxiety rather than clearing up my suspicions.
But Marya...
She's been silent and still thinking about it since earlier. What are those big black eyes looking at?
"Marya?"
"Yeah?"
Marya turns her face to Ishl.
Ishur's face blurred in his eyes.
"Fire Dragons, I guess I'm keeping an eye on something"
Marya said in a whispering voice.
"I'm not talking about Ishur. … such as underground temples"
"Become!"
"Ah."
Ishur and Rifia raised their surprises with their eyes together.
... right. No, I mean...
"It's not an underground temple"
"I'm keeping an eye on Malefioa..."
"Yeah."
... it's possible, maybe.
Mary, and Rifia, and Ishur looked at each other, bewildered.
Malefiore has one of the Red Jade Stones that expresses the magic of the god of the earth.
Like me, the Red Emperor Dragon, who has the purpose of collecting all the magic of God, can't care less.
The Red Emperor Dragon is in contact with the escaped kingdoms at the fall of the Urk dynasty. There's a chance he's hearing about Malefiore.
……
Ishur turned his face down, alone, and turned his thoughts deep in his heart.
Clouds floating in the blue sky flow and disappear to the edge of your sight.
Dark grey rock skin is approaching the present.
"Whoa, ho."
Dimars Benito's short screaming voice rises from behind.
When Ishur landed at the top of Rock Mountain, he looked out over a view that stretched beneath his eyes.
Early the next morning, the Malefioa Crusaders left the woodland camp for the next destination, the village of Agonia. For some time after we began to descend the mountain path, Benito, the oldest trooper we had ever endured, finally raised his roots and Ishur was set to pour. Benito frustrated his right ankle on his way down the mountain yesterday, which meant that it was a burden and fatigue accumulated all at once.
Meanwhile, Marya was to be carried by Evan.
A few moments after I left, by the time I went around noon, the fog that was covering my foothills cleared and my vision improved.
Ishur spoke to the captain's frid and flew to that rocky mountain with Benito on his back when he found a rock-covered, grassy, unproduced top (please) on the mountain ridge that crossed the valley river to his left.
Beared by Ishur, Benito, the first to fly through the sky, stared down at the deep valley bottom beneath his eyes and screamed a small scream to stiffen his whole body.
Ishur unloaded Benito beside him as he descended to the top of Rock Mountain.
"Hey, what's so scary about flying in the sky... Well, that's a pretty good view."
"Yes."
Ishur smiled and hammered as he glanced sideways at Benito for a moment.
In front of them was a medium basin surrounded by deep mountains on all sides and covered in abundant greenery.
……
Ishur narrowed his eyes to the dazzling sunlight and watched the view silently for a while.
... Except. This casual assumption, I imagined that the basin of the underground temple would have a soaked bowl-shaped terrain, based on the great crater that was made possible by the volcanic activity of Tai Ancient.
The northwest side of the Brektas mountain mass, for example part of Lake Alm, could be inferred from its topography to be clearly due to volcanic lakes. Perhaps tens of thousands of years ago, several volcanoes, large and small, existed on the land.
So I was wondering if the basin of the underground temple was also made possible by volcanic activity.
However, the view that now extends was not only lush, but also a changing terrain, intricately infiltrated by gentle mountains, hills and fan-like flatlands.
The distant mountain ranges stretching behind the basin seemed sumptuous as they crowned the snow and blended into the sky. The end of that mountain becomes the central part of the Brektas mountain mass.
It is a contiguous mountainous area with peaks reaching an altitude of nine thousand long steps (skulls, more than 5,000 m), where few people live. According to the "Brektas Mountain Magazine", very few mountain people exist, similar to mountain nests. Of course it is also a paradise for the demons, where many large warcraft live.
Around the center of the Medium Basin, where its mountains disappear into hills and snug fans, caves leading to the underground temple and earthly ruins also exist around it. The city of Canabal should be nearby, but we can't see it now. I see a small lake dotted and the sun shining the lake's surface like a mirror.
"As it was in the magazine, that sounds like a lot of precipitation. Strong green color."
"Hmm. Looks like there's a lot of snow in the winter."
"It's surrounded by mountains, lots of precipitation, and the whole basin is a long time lake and likely to sink, but it's not"
I can't see a big river from a glance, but there are many small rivers, and probably plenty of groundwater.
"All the mountain waters flowing into this basin are supposedly stained underground to reach the western side of the Grand Duchy of Alsar through the cracks in the earth of the great mountain mass, from which they spring and gush, becoming rivers large and small and pouring into the Mediterranean Sea. In the ancient days of Tai, part of Alsar and its south side seemed to be the sea. Part of the Mediterranean was inside the continent."
"I see.... is that right"
Ishur nodded as he looked at Benito and was impressed.
That's the dirt court magician. Dimars Benito also seems familiar with the geology of the continent.
From the south of the kingdom to the southwest of Alsar, the south of the Holy King of Orst is rich in rivers and numerous wetlands, large and small.
From the Brektas mountain mass, there is not only a river that flows into the surrounding plains, but also a huge stream of water underground.
"There was no description in the history of the kingdom in particular, but the underground temple seems to have plenty of water, too"
"Maybe so...... The invisible great river that flows through the earth would be flowing deeper. Outdoor drainage is good and you may not have to worry about sudden drainage."
Benito said in a difficult face.
In the underground temple exploration he is also to be accompanied to the deepest part. I am no longer young and have health concerns, but fire and earth magic are indispensable for underground exploration.
"Then it seems easy to get to where Malefioa is."
"I think there will be a lot of evil spirits and demons, hole snakes and black lizards along the way...... What would your lord be?"
Benito's evil spirits also include demons such as undead, for example, skeletons, in this case. It is quite rare, but fantasy and familiar monsters also appear in this world.
The undead, nestled in the underground temple, will also include a number of magicians and bounty hunters who lost their lives there. After all, it was originally Baltar's lap, a desolate god who could control evil gods and evil demons.
"But a black lizard..."
Ishur shrugged in his mouth.
... looks like just a monster, but isn't that a name I've noticed?
If the black lizard and the beauty were luscious, would a detective appear as well?
Ishur pulled up the edge of his mouth and smiled.
Yeah, well, then you're already here. Basilia, head of Baltar's cave, is it.
"Hehe."
Ishur slightly, but accidentally leaked a laugh.
The line then arrived safely and in the evening in the village of Agognya.
Siebeth, the bearded one, took two men, split from the crusaders on the spot and preceded Canabal.
On the road it was discussed last night, no one steamed back the stories of Ishur and Rifia and Marya.
It is possible that the Red Emperor dragon is keeping an eye on Malefioa lurking in the underground temple, but naturally, it cannot be determined.
On the other hand, the idea that many fire dragons also inhabit the Brektas mountain masses, some of which just happen to be territorial around the Middle Basin, is also fully convincing, and we could not conclude on that occasion after all.
When Ishur arrived in the village of Agognya and was assigned a room to the mansion of a small luxury ruling the village, he immediately went out and went for a stroll around the area.
The village, at the tip of a hill stretched out from the mountains to the north, had a strong defense, similar to the village of Parago, with rock walls on the east, west and south sides, able to withstand attacks from large warcraft and other villages.
The mountain hem on the north side of the village had a staggered field, while under the cliff on the south side there was a sizeable wheat field.
Ishur went through the edge of the staircase and into the woods that stretched out over the mountains.
The surrounding trees seemed moderately mowed and logged and well maintained. Ishur stopped and looked up at the cypress (hinoki) that flew high.
Then he returned his gaze to the perimeter and let it run quickly to the side.
"Hehe. I can't believe they're coming from you. Thanks for the help."
There were signs of people in the woods, and Seguro and Feldar, who met in the slums of the Wang capital, showed up.
And the other.
When the man rose from the grass, he stood behind Ishur.
Ishur said in a low voice when he bent his neck and looked sideways at the man.
Don't worry about it.
... This would be Niceto. Seguros, the fourth man of the party. The one who said he was keeping an eye on Basilia, her brother who was imprisoned on the ground, Bastol.
Niceto is younger than Seguro et al., about twenty (we) years old, and has a rustic face burnt to the yang whether he's from around here.
But I guess Dimars Benito's "Benito" is different because it's a family name, but does it mean the same thing as "Ron" as Ichiro or Taro, Niceto for Avato and the guys around here have a lot of names that end with "~ t".
"Hey Niceto, come to us. Don't piss this guy off."
Seguro speaks to Niceto behind him.
……
Niceto silently circled beside Ishur and stood beside Seguro and Feldar.
"There will also be shadow people of the Kingdom of Ladis in Agonia. I've been having trouble getting in touch with you and that princess of Uncle Neighborhood."
And Feldar said in a calm voice.
"By chance, that's a coincidence. I didn't go into the woods to see you."
Ishur said with a faceless face, in a flat tone.
... Well, I noticed your signs right away.
The truth is different. After entering the Medium Basin, Kanabal is finally close. You'll be doing the same with the Hole Regiment, and there's Malefiore waiting in the basement. In addition to Nell, he came to an unpopular place to summon the Golden Spirit.
"It's a day and a half walk to Canabal, I just said. I want to meet with you around here."
Said Seguro in the same voice as before, climbing and ecstatic a despicable grin.
Sure enough, these guys said when they first met, they'd make sure they saw each other again on the ground.
Niceto, standing beside Seguro, is silent all the time and stares at this one with a relieved face. Do you even think that this man is the sword of Yveda...?
The yang sinks into the western mountains, and a red light runs beside him through the woods.
I miss you somewhere, I heard a wild bird roar.
"Isn't it time for Basilia to know we're right down to the basin?
Ishur said, distorting the corner of his mouth.
"I can't expose these hands. There's a chance you're connected to Basilia behind this."
"I'm pretty sure Basilia's ears are filled with reports from the Royal Investigation Team..."
"No, no, we won't betray you. It's only natural to be strong."
Feldar shouted, Seguro shouting with his hands wide open.
"If I were you, I'd bring Bastol's liberation to Basilia, subject to information and obstruction from the Royal Crusades."
Ishur's grin becomes even more distorted.
For the Hole Regiment, for Basilia, the threat of the Malefioa Crusaders would be considerable. Then even a deal like that would be concluded.
"No, no. So..."
Blurb and tremble as Seguro leaves his hands open.
... to this extent, this man is totally out of threat.
But you can't overreact, coward. These guys know exactly how strong I am.
But isn't Niceto?
It's called that name, maybe he's still from the basin. Even if it is not so far from the Wang capital, it is too late for information to be conveyed in the back of the mountains, where there is little movement of people, and the accuracy is compromised.
I'm just wondering how accurate my information is being passed on to Basilia, too.
... If so, how helpful this one is.
"Is Bastol still alive? Was the prison of the Lords' Palace underground? But..."
"Oh, of course he's still alive. Nice to meet you."
Seguro is still freaking out. I have hastily blocked Ishur's words.
Some of the caves leak inside information to Seguro and others.
"When we get to Canabal, we'd better stay away from the Lords' Palace for a while. We'll do the rescue for Bastol, but in some circumstances, we'll be behind. If we're going to close the gap between the Basilians, we might be able to predict a match and break into the building and help you. But be really careful, okay? I can't guarantee your lives."
Ishur said with a smile on his face.
"Okay."
Magically nodding seglow.
"Oh, man. I'm sure Bastol will be fine."
But now Feldar rushes out.
... This guy is a wizard. It's not just rumors, maybe I can feel how much power I have.
The Lords' Palace in Canabal looks like a secluded luxury and is no different from a common castle fortress. Feldar knows I have the power to destroy it all at once.
"Of course I'll take care of it"
I have not seen the placement drawings in the building, but the letters previously sent by them contained descriptions of the exterior and spacing of the Lordship Hall, as well as the general location of the prison.
It was written that the room where the bastol was held was not a prison in the basement of the mother house, but a warehouse behind it.
... as long as it doesn't become so much of a mix-up, there won't be that much damage.
Seguro said with his usual low and thin grin.
"Hehe. Please..."
"You're not like us. I believe you won't betray me."
……
Ishur gave Feldar a small nod.
... but I don't know about that. I may not be a villain, but I'm not on the side of justice.
The pledge must be kept, unlike some nobles and clerics who think.
"Well, good to see you."
"We'll head to Canabal first."
"Oh."
Seguro and Feldar have since asked questions about the crusaders, but Ishur has answered nothing, and the men have disappeared behind cypress trees.
In the end, Niceto just stared casually at Ishur and left without saying anything.
Ishur proceeded slightly north to the back of the woods, contrary to their vanishing direction, and when he ascertained that there were no signs of men around, he summoned the Spirit of Gold.
"It's Vilodo the Golden God. Send me the mighty man of hot steel."
Ishur stretched the outer edge of sensation and consciousness to the otherworlds of the Golden Spirit, casting a shortened summoning spell.
Overhead, the sunset light lingers slightly between the trunks of the tall trees. For a moment, a flash of intense magic thrust through the residual light that seemed to disappear.
The magic of gold condenses into the human form between the trees.
I can see a loose robe with a short hem, boots, and a caged hand with a pattern of tangerine on both wrists.
Slightly long face. This time it's also the Spirit of the Man.
"Hey, mister."
Then the right corner of the mouth is raised. He's a little shiny.
A conceited tone, a youthful voice.
"I'm glad you called."
"Oh, oh."
It's a lot different than the Silva I summoned before just because she seems to be close in age. Either it's close to Yoranche, the spirits of the wind of beauty. It feels like I've made him a little wild and wicked.
"Shall I ask your name?"
Ishur looked up at the front, the gold spirits floating overhead, and said:
"Oh, my name is Lukastforob Rutkovslev, Nice to meet you."
……
Ishur glanced at the spirits of the honorable man.
... another intense name... I'll never remember. It's the most elusive name in the Spirit I've ever summoned.
Or I'm not sure I can speak up properly in my mouth.
"Lucas,... no, can I call you Luca"
"Absolutely. Sasama."
Lukas laughs louder.
"Okay. So, I'm summoning the Spirit of the Wind, too. Let me introduce her."
Ishur snorted a few times in a hurry and decided to call Nell.
Somehow, for the first time in a long time, I can't hide my upset at the overly difficult henchy name of the high spirits.
Luca is a nice guy who also looks a little frigid, but is definitely a great spirit class from that name. The outfit is also dressed in robes, while armor is fitted to the arms, underfoot is also wearing combat boots, thought to be an intermediate between a wizard and a fighter, and looks like the type to do both fights cleverly.
It's the easiest spirits to use, not even wishing.
"... Nell"
Ishur suppressed his agitation and called the Spirit of the Wind as he grinned lightly on his face.
"Yes, sword."
The Spirit of the Wind appeared its beauty a little while from Lucas, on the left side of Ishur.
……
My expression is thinner than usual and I'm not in a very good mood.
"We're about to... Right, we're getting into enemy land. So he summoned the Golden Spirit."
Ishur looked sideways at Nell and said.
"We don't say we're close to each other, but sometimes we'll have them fight in tandem. Never make useless noises."
"Absolutely. Isn't the wind a lovely young lady? I'm not complaining, mister."
For a moment, Lucas looked at Nell and said in a voice that even sounded fun.
"Being a much lighter man. Is this the great spirit of gold?"
... Nell. He did it for me.
Luckily, Luca doesn't look offended with a smile on her face.
"Nell, didn't you just pay attention? Shall we stop doing that?"
Ishur said with his gaze sharp and his voice low.
She said she was a woman serving near the side of Yveda, the same as Nayal.
I mean, I guess he's got a high temper. That's what women officers are for.
"Forgive me, sword. … I will do as you say."
Nell panicked when he touched Ishl's wrath, and drooped his head (Kobe) low and said:
"Oh."
... Please, Nell. Stop being like Nayal, really.
Ishur let Eagle Deep snort, but inside he remembered Nayal, who had a lot of problem remarks, and was nowhere near pioneering.
How come spirits with different systems always get along so badly...
……
Ishur sighed modestly, briefly explaining the future to the two of them.
"The ultimate aim is the extermination of Malefioa lurking deep in the underground temple. I want to get the source of his earthwork, the one crack of red jade stone."
Ishur pointed the back of his left hand at the two spirits and glanced with his right hand over the leather gloves.
"Before that, slaughter the bandits holding down the entrance to the temple on earth"
Copy that.
Lucas pulled in a grin and nodded in a serious face.
"Malefiore means that ugly serpent,"
Meanwhile, Nell has had a horrible smile to confirm.
Malefiore is a name that humans tentatively name. I guess it remains nameless because it is a shard of a goddess who was originally stripped of his name by the Lord God, Les, and chased after the seat of God.
"That's right. What do you both know about Malefia?
"No, I don't know the details. You were the sister of the god of water, weren't you? If it's the Spirit of the Water, some of you will know."
and Lucas.
"Neither have we been informed of it in detail. Swordsman."
Nell said with a strange face.
"I see..."
Ishur did the trick of putting his hand on his chin.
... I still only know the Spirit to the same extent as man about that monster, no about Fiore's sister, the god of water...
"No way, you guys can't fight him, etc."
"That's okay. With the sword's command, I will fight with all mine."
"Me too, mister."
The two spirits nodded forcefully.
"But beware of the shards of the dorsal god. Swordsman."
"Shards of the dorsal god...... You mean God's curse?
A dangerous presence, supposedly responsible for the retirement of the forest witch Lelia......
The look on Ishur's face clouds.
"Yes, I thought so."
Nell nodded with a serious face.
"I think that hardly works magic. We in the Spirit should not be so harmful, but it will work for humans."
"As the sword was looking into it," Nell continued.
... this.
Ishur glanced at Nell's face.
Lelia was definitely hit by it.
"... a shard of the dorsal god,"
I had decided that asking the Spirit of the Wind about Malefiore or the curse of God would not give me a decent answer, but Nell's remarks included something quite important.
That's two things: the name "back god shard”, and “magic doesn't work” on his curse. It still takes a windsword-like business (on purpose) to completely destroy Malefioa.
Ishur strayed his gaze from the Spirit and let his gaze drift into the forest, where the sun had fallen and had become completely dark.
For a moment in the dark, something was captured by the silly illusion.
Ishur then ordered both Lucas and Nell to escort their own surroundings and troops as usual, perimeter watches, leaving the woods for the village of Agognya.
As soon as he went out into the field through the trees, one of the royal “bearded” men was kneeling towards Ishur. It's not Evan. He was one of the crusaders.
"Mr. Randell is here to see you.... How did it go?
"An example bounty hunter's party has come in contact"
Ishur explained that he had spoken to the Seguros in the woods.
"Kanabal's already close, they wanted to know what we were doing."
"I see..."
But I didn't tell them about this operation. He asks to see Basilia as soon as he arrives in Canabal and board the Lordship Hall, which is now the root castle of the bandits. Capturing Basilia on the spot, eliminating those facing the blade, and controlling the entire building promptly - is a rough maneuver, but if I told them, it could leak to the enemy side, and I couldn't tell them anything specific.
"Tell Evan that I met them."
"Okay."
The man nodded in a low voice, urging Ishur to return to the mansion.
"Mr. Ishur, hurry up, hurry up"
Romir was waiting in front of the building when he entered the grounds.
Hit by a row of crusaders' quarters was a small castle-like building set just inside a rock wall built on the north side of the village, usually used as a separate building by the lavish ruling villages.
"It's already started."
Before supper, the Ishurs were supposed to hear about the main canaball and cave regiment in the hall.
When Romir led me into the biggest room in the annex, the supper room, inside, below the captain's frid, Marya and the other magicians were all face-to-face. There were also appearances of Lilina, Mira and Sharka.
The interior had a tranquil interior that was no different from the aristocratic hall than the martial arts exterior. Ceilings with geometric relief on wooden slabs and ocean lacquered walls, and tables were also heavy enough to seat more than ten people.
All the crusaders got to their seats and were paying attention to a man still in his twenties or so who would be upright in the lower seat.
The young man had a nervous face and was just talking about the Lordship Hall in Canabal.
There was an old man in a chair on the man's diagonal.
Apparently a young man was the lord (or girlfriend) of this village, and the old man sitting behind him was his grandfather or a hindsight.
"─ So I think we can call the Canabal Hall the largest, the castle, in this area."
As the man rang his throat, he looked around anxiously at the faces sitting at the table.
"Hey, any questions?"
The man's voice is somewhat trembling.
"Have we talked about Basilia yet?
Ishur asked Evan, standing beside him, whispering.
"Yes, for once"
Evan also answers in a whisper.
Ishur did not sit in the empty chair at the table, but lined up next to Evan, who stood between the walls.
The magic equipment she has is also a letter from Seguro about what Basilia looks like, with basic information.
I just didn't know for sure what other magic gear I was taking or just what other magic gear I knew about Basilia was the poisonous taste and the hidden body, plus the magic gear from the fire system. The Seguros didn't even know that.
"What about the leader of the bandits, the reputation of the inhabitants of the city of Basilia?
Ishur stepped forward and asked the man a question.
"What..."
A voice comes from an unexpected direction and a man turns his face toward Ishl's standing.
"Oh, Lord Ishur."
From the table, he didn't notice Isul entering the room, he heard Dimars Benito's little voice.
"Oh, that's... It's not very good."
The young lord was perplexed for a moment as to what kind of mouth to listen to, but once again answered the tone, deciding that Ishur was not so tall.
"Right."
Ishur answered briefly and laughed lightly.
... I know that Basilia is feared by those in the city of Canabal, and hated by some as much as a serpent scorpion.
But I just wanted to make sure from the others.
The noise will soon subside if we get rid of Basilia and instead set up residential neighbors, and it will be easy to gain the support of the city's inhabitants. This is important. I wanted to make that reading a sure one.
"Are all the guys from the Hole Regiment close? Are there factional strife?"
This is also getting information from the Seguros, but that's what I wanted to hear.
"Always if it's a little fight. I don't know about factions."
The man answered in such a way that he didn't want to get involved.
……
Ishur nodded silently, grinning.
So the briefing by the lord of the village of Agonia was concluded.
After dinner in the same room, Flid ordered Evan to pay for it, and Ishur asked Nell to put up a simple wind junction so that no noise could leak outdoors.
"Shall we confirm the Hole Regiment Crusade?"
Fridd looked around to sit at the table and said with an invincible grin.
The following day, the crusaders left the village of Agognya after going around noon and arrived at the village of Ganaş, which would be their last place of lodging on the same evening.
Fridd apologized for the dinner party offer, where the small lord ruling the village's hospitality was also there, and the line fell asleep early. The next day I left the village before dawn.
The actions of the unnatural troops were due to adjustments made so that the time of arrival in Canabal would be around noon.
Shortly after his arrival in Canabal, he was to offer a messenger to apply to visit Basilia of the Hole Regiment.
Through the mountains, there were few horses in the villages of the Medium Basin even as the road improved, and the line remained on foot, but the food and other purchases went well, and the men of the troops were finally willing and wary with rest.
"Finally, Ishr."
A solid road, which the carriage can also afford to pass, is slowly bending between the meadows and the trees and disappearing across the hill.
"Right."
Mira smiled and was in a good mood, and Ishur smiled bitterly and hammered.
♪
In the back Rifia is mumbling her nose.
Marya's footsteps walking forward are also heartless or light.
When Ishur turned off his grin, he stared at the Canabal one, the sky beyond the jungle.
... If we keep up with this aim, we'll have a piece by the end of the day.
The opponent is the Bandits. In other words, it becomes a battle to punish the bad guys. It is not as imminent a situation as the war against the United Kingdom, and I can be fully outraged by punishment. There will be dangerous occasions if we are cautious, but not so much as difficult enemies.
So they are all floating. It's a tremendous adventure for them in the palace service, and a battle like that awaits them in the way they go.
Yesterday, when Ishur told Marya and Rifia that he had met the Seguros in the woods near the village of Ganash, Rifia complained, "Why didn't you call me on the spot?"
She was motivated to accomplish the request to rescue Bastol. The bounty hunter's job for the great aristocrat Refia was an irresistible event that inspired her adventurous spirit.
"... but it's forbidden to be alarmed"
Ishur muttered so that no one could hear him.
The head of the female bandit, her belly brother Bastol, imprisoned in Basilia. And the destination is the underground temple dedicated to the desolate god Baltar in the ancient days of Tai.
What does this ridiculous, lurch-like word unanimity mean in a way?
The gods, the moon god probably doesn't have a single piece of interest or interest in the name of every human being, etc.
Isn't that why all the similar intrinsic nouns were to be lined up?
If Lelia were to move today, it would be a hell of a thing to be alarmed.
Ishur gripped his right fist as he walked, with all his strength.
Having an early lunch on the side of the road, Ishur put a no in the frid and went up into the sky.
As it rose to an altitude of approximately two miles long (scar, about 1,300 m), we observed a crushing southwest direction.
Stick to it already, I could see the city of Canabal.
On a hill surrounded by trees and meadows, you can see stone walls or dirt walls or a small fortified city surrounded by walls.
On its western side were scattered small settlements, with pastures and fields spread between them. Further afield, multiple lakes and ponds large and small were seen.
And just ahead, about a mile long from the city of Canabal, there was something like a bright gray ruin.
... Maybe that's where the entrance to the underground temple used to be.
I can't go down from there right now. I hear the entrance and exit are filled with dirt and sand, and the internal passage collapses, making passage impossible.
"Surely not so far away, there must be a cave that leads to the underground temple..."
"There it is, sword."
When Ishur muttered one, Nell showed up thin and pointed.
A closer look revealed a glimpse of something like a wooden bamboo in the jungle about three miles southwest of the ruins.
... Is there a vertical hole in the cave?
With the magic of the wind, the structure of the shallow part, even at this distance close to the ground of the cave, can be known.
But right now, you shouldn't use great magic. The city of Canabal is also close. He may be distracted by the Wizards of the Hole Regiment, including Basilia.
"Hehe, are you going to fight the monster lurking behind that hole? Looking forward to it."
Lucas was also thin and showed up.
"It's first to crush the bandits that divide that city. Do as you're told."
Ishur snorted his jaw toward Canabal.
"Yes, sir."
Copy that.
Nell and Lucas gave little magic and disappeared softly.
I've already given the two of you instructions when the Bandits took control.
Ishur went down to the ground as he scouted all around him.
The crusaders eventually proceeded to walk Canabal as close as they wished.
One line is not to go directly to the city of Canabal, but first to the ruins where the entrance to and exit from the underground temple was located. So we were supposed to send a messenger to Basilia while we were testing the site.
"Hey, that one."
Among the Ishurs who were on their way to the ruins, the first thing I noticed was Rifia.
"There's people out there."
Following Lifia's finger pointing, he saw two people, standing in front of the ruins.
……
To all of the troops, slight tension ran.
"Are those from the Hole Regiment?"
Frid's grunting voice can be heard until Ishur is behind him.
... were they keeping an eye on this one? No, then the Nels, the well-researched Refia, and the bearded guys will notice.
Perhaps he was observing this move from the city's heights.
"Ladis, these are the royals."
Approaching the ruins, the two men also walked out towards the crusaders.
A man in one blue jacket deliberately lowered his hips and called out to the Ishurs.
"Welcome aboard."
The man's mouth angle is slightly distorted.
"Please come to our hall. Lord Basilia would like to greet you."
And I added at the end, I said.
Everybody, come on in.
……
Just for a moment, Ishur quickly exchanged his gaze with Rifia, Mira and Marya, who were by his side.
I can see a lot of laughter coming up.
... these guys.
Ishur narrowed his eyes and stared at the man in the blue jacket.
Basilia was thinking the same thing about us.
Trying to get rid of them all at once, all in one piece. Trying to get a grip on it.
Ishur turned his gaze to the city of Canabal, situated on the hill, beside him.
