In front of him, he bathes Asahi and Yang all over his body and makes his cape wind, and the Taishou of Soleil stands.

"Ishur, you failed."

Luffraid's harsh gaze is poured.

……

Ishur nodded silently and small, standing up slowly.

"Are you hurt?"

Luffraid took an even harsher look when he saw Nina holding Ishl's right hand and attacking the magic of the water.

"It's no big deal"

Some water wizards have the ability to stop the bleeding. Luffraid sees Nina's magic as simply curbing the bleeding.

"... Hmm"

Listening to Ishur's reply, he relaxed his expression and laughed small "hehe".

"I didn't expect so many people to escape the Black Spike Crystal and even get hurt giving it away."

And last night, when I saw someone in a strange merchant neighborhood, I went on to say:

"I also climbed the tower and watched, but the black traitor seemed to have used the demon seal formation. You're alarmed, Ishr. If that's the case."

Luffraid looked around at the Miras again with a tough face.

...... hehe. Is that how it came?

At that time, if those who knew magic saw it from afar, they wondered whether they might misinterpret the black shadow of Melillah as the dark spirits and the special junction of the moon god Leiria as the enchanted junction, but Leflaide also seemed to see it that way.

And that giant moonlight disc, "invisible" - perhaps he recognized it as something like a large, bright cloud illuminated by a full moon.

You can assume that the physical distance from that disc of light, from the unidentified, or the Miras who were aware of the existence of the Moon God, and the spiritual distance from me, the party, made this difference in perception.

For a moment only, Ishur said, making a strange face when he leaned down and damn laughed.

"No words, it's my responsibility.... forgive me."

"I didn't expect you to use the shadow of the Dark Spirit to transfer."

Mira drives and tells the story like that.

"The fugitive took Leni's blow and was on the verge of death. Even ahead of the metastasis will not change her advantage. I'm not worried about that..."

"Metastasis, huh? Um, the question is where did you move it?"

"We hear that shadow-trapped magic equipment can only be moved to places you know, where the user has actually been"

So Zilley, who had tried to hide behind Luffraid and refrained, interrupted.

"Mm-hmm. We can only choose its destination and location for a large amount of clutter, and it's not possible to travel far."

Luffraid turned to Zilley and told him to supplement.

"The search for Lord Leni Pujer and the Black Spine Crystal is at our disposal. Let's clear the snowflake of this failure."

Rifia put her right hand against her chest and she said it also with a beautiful voice.

……

Ishur also bowed her head to Luffraid to coincide with her statement, but a slightly bitter colour floated over its overturned face.

... To rescue Leni, we must cross to the Alsar side and head to the temple ruins of the water. There's almost no doubt about her, she's imprisoned there.

But you can't tell that to anyone else, including Luffraid.

If you don't know this secret, you'll think that everyone has to follow in the footsteps of the Black Spike Crystal and look extensively. Even if we can only travel close range, that search should be quite extensive.

But as for this one, you can't step on such a waste. Something about heading to the temple ruins of the water together with the rescue of Leni, you won't find a good excuse......

"What happened to the White Spike Crystal who was helping Leni"

Mira shrugged her eyes inside the walls, towards the merchant quarter.

"I'm not in the city anymore, I ran away.... No, I might have headed toward the capital."

There was a voice of Sharka from behind.

She also seemed to grasp the movement of the White Spike Crystal last night up to a certain distance.

"I see. The shadow returns to the Holy City."

Luffraid put his hand on his chin and said, trying to think of something.

"The White Tsim Crystal may be searching for your whereabouts in Pujer, following the path from the Holy City."

Jilley said his gaze to the east of the walls and far away to the Holy City.

"I'm going to leave for the Holy City, and I'll arrange it."

When Ruffreid commanded Zilley, he continued to turn his face to Ishl and said:

"I have to report what happened last night to my brother. All right, Ishr?"

"Yes, I have no choice"

Heavy air flows through the Miras as well as Ishur.

... Regardless of my failure, it is not good for Salomon to know that Leni has taken the form of a grabber. But I can't hide it now. I can't even work with it.

"Well, I don't make it bad. Don't worry, Ishr. Then I'll whisper to you so you can search for Leni Pujer."

Ruffreid groaned and slapped Ishl on the shoulder.

"It's okay, she's alive. That black pointed crystal must have been torn in the stomach, right?

"Yes."

"Uhm.... come on, I can't help being here. Come with me. Let's have breakfast together."

Luffraid nodded back at Ishur, deliberately laughing happily and flashly flirting with his cape, walking out towards the castle hall.

"Let's go"

Ishur looked around at Mira, Rifia, Nina and her face, and she spoke quietly.

And as I turned forward, I smiled secretly.

... Yes, Leni is alive. Waiting for me to come.

"We have to think of a good hand so that we can direct her search across the river to the Alsar side."

A push-kill voice spilled out of a bitter grin.

Luffraid, who had breakfast with the Ishurs, left the colloquial room (salon) at his behest, saying that he might have to wait for a few days or so.

"Master Ishur, I can't stand you now."

Mira knew exactly what Ishl was thinking. It was also expected that you would be worried about how you could cross the Dylave River a little faster.

"Um, keep it big now. The gods will wait for you to come, no matter how much. … so to speak, the world revolves around you. Nothing sudden."

Refia said a rare half a joke or no exaggeration. She was also considerate of Ishur's bitterness.

"Mr. Ishur, fatigue is on your face. You should lie down and rest now."

And so is Nina.

The heartbroken Ishur was noticed by everyone and, aware of her own tiredness as she put it, decided to rest in her bedroom once.

"Guys, I'm sorry. Take a rest, you guys."

Ishur honestly bowed his head to Mira and went into the ensuing private room from the conversation room.

……

When he was alone, Ishur glanced at the bandage wrapped around his right hand. The laceration of Nina's right hand, which she had treated, had already stopped bleeding. Naturally, it was not completely healed, but this unusually fast recovery was also a cause of fatigue.

Nina's water magic is not like the pure healing magic of the light system. Sometimes they are attacked by hunger, fatigue, fever, or some sort of recoil, because it works directly on the body's period.

Ishur stayed in bed, trying to fall in and stumbled, instantly falling into a deep sleep.

A few moments later, after waking up, he felt calm and the pain in the wound subsided. We all had dinner together, and after the meal we made up for the lack of explanation in the form of answers to Mira's questions about the causes and past with the Moon God, whom we confessed at dawn.

After that, he rarely drank alcohol, leaving drunken faces behind, and Ishur moved into his room, reflecting once again on what had happened last night and rebelling. Then I summoned a new Spirit, involving Jorik.

From the current situation, I still wanted to summon the Spirit of the Wind again, accustomed to excellent reconnaissance.

But I just lost that Yorik, the keepsake wind spirit, in last night's tragedy. I really noticed and decided to pick and summon only the one and only from the rest of the soil, fire and gold for now.

Normally, if you lose the Spirit in a summons, in a battle, whether a covenant, etc., you will not be able to call and serve again for a few days to a month or so, unless you are one with the magic of God. Ishur felt and understood the matter naturally.

Even though it was not a time of battle, nor an emergency, to summon the Spirit of the Wind again just the next day was not only to scorn Yorik's devotion, but also to force him to invade what had otherwise been contraindicated. It showed two things I could really care less about.

If you give up the Spirit of the Wind summons, what spirit do you call instead? Should it be further solitary or multiple summons?

Firstly, it is not a dangerous situation that now calls for more than one Spirit, while spirits of different lineages are often reversed, and it is also a hassle to manage. I'll summon multiple spirits to it, but I can't really expect how useful it would be if the Moon God showed up again. Spirits like Yorik are rare and will not be able to summon them so many times.

Summoning the Spirit of Fire has no direct combat, and is rather dangerous if you are staying in a palace. If something rough happens and there is a fire, it will be outrageous. The Spirit of the Soil is difficult to use because it is not compatible with the aim of the western bank of the Dylave River from now on and the extensive wetlands will continue after crossing.

And the last thing left was the Spirit of Gold when I went with the erasure method.

The spirits of the golden lineage are excellent in both offenses and have no problems with the compatibility of water with fire, water with earth. Reconnaissance, mobility, etc. are inferior to the Spirit of the Wind, but their defenses are particularly effective in unintentional combat, and there is no harm in summoning them in advance. Given the plans for future action, it could be described as the next worthy spiritual lineage of the Spirit of the Wind.

……

Deciding to call on the Spirit of Gold, Ishur blurred several times at the walls of the dim living room just at the moonlight.

The moonlight and the shadows of the walls and trees that plunge through the western windows stain the white painted walls on the spots.

Secondly, the emotions I had just evoked plundered my brain.

... nobody knows that, nobody knows his name...

"Phew."

Ishur sighed small as he shook his head hard.

Now let's focus on Spirit Summoning. Even if it's deep down in my heart, I feel it's dangerous to put it into words. I can even think...

Ishur raised his right hand horizontally and pointed his palm towards the west window.

Once, there was a sound, and the window opened all by itself.

Subtle, little wind magic. From the tip of the open window, the bugging voice echoes.

Close your eyes and come to the crystalline world at the end of the earth, at the end of the night sky.

The sound of bugs, the sound of leaf rubbing. The sound of the night, and the moonlight, could easily lure us into the other realm of gold.

"It's Vilod the Golden God."

Ishur quietly uttered the name of God.

"Send me a strong man of hot steel."

... Come out, my friend, my compatriot...

A small voice, but calling with all my heart.

In front of me, a glimmer of glory surfaced on the complex white wall of moonlight and night darkness.

A sign that someone is coming in from the outside world. The open window frame rang once more.

and that little light diffuses in an instant, changing and now the shape of a person floats.

"The shield. Euglrones Greconoval, summoned."

A silhouette of relaxed ancient cleric clothing. Cool face with long hair. And seemingly unfit, a slender long sword hanging at the waist.

This...

Ishur looked slightly wider and expressed surprise.

It's hard indeed, but I feel as cold as ice. It's hard to get close, even letting rejection and intimidation drift. Not very much like a golden spirit.

I just feel like I've seen him once before somewhere.

"Yes, that's for sure..."

It's Maebe, her covenant spirit who came in the way when she met Paola Pierca in the living room of Demetrio, one of Henrik's older brothers, who died unemployed in the fortress of Balstal.

Somehow resembles the Great Spirit of that cold, arrogant shore, strangely-faced water.

"You're feeling better, Lord Shields."

It's a pitiful, uniquely weighty voice.

"Oh, I'm sorry. Um, I think you know, my name is Ishr. Can I call you Eug?"

That Mabe was a long, troublesome name too, but what a name this Euglr is, it's going to bite my tongue.

"I don't mind."

Yug nodded in a low voice.

……

Stiff...... I guess it's a little hard to do.

"Yeah. Nice to meet you, Yug. Let's start with..."

To the unprecedented cold, stubborn spirits, while elusive, Ishur asked for an escort and vigilance of himself and his companions, as usual.

"Accepted"

Deep wrinkles between his eyebrows, Yug nodded heavily, leaving a slight brilliance of gold to disappear instantly.

The sound of an interrupting bug was heard again from outside the window.

Two days later. Unsurprisingly early, good news was brought to the Ishurs, who were locked in a room behind the palace.

"Mr. Katka......"

It was Lucia, Mira's maid and escort, and Katka, the goddess of the Basilica of Adele in the Holy Capital, who met the Isles in the talking room (salon). She was, um, the person who was the secretary of the quiet but cutter temple chief, Civil Bake.

"We're out of time. Ishur."

There were also luffraids and sidelined zilleys indoors. Katka knelt side by side with Lucia and spoke in a respectful tone to Ishur as well.

"Was Lucia going to the Holy City?"

Ishur glanced at Mira and told Lucia.

"Yes, Leni was accompanied by the White Spike Crystal, so I was visiting the Sacred City of Civil Bake."

The colloquium also had Luffraid and Gilley, Ishr and Mira, plus Rifia and Nina in the form of surrounding both Lucia and Katka on their knees. Katka is a goddess, Lucia is wearing this Pasla Palace maid outfit. The two had met with Mira and Luffraids before face-to-face with Ishur to make a detailed report.

... Whatever Katoka is, Lucia's maid clothes would be about as tall as a zilley. We arrived in Soleil Castle and got dressed.

"I am the one who ordered Lucia to go to the Holy City."

Mira chuckled and spoke from the side.

Civil Bake was originally from White Spike Crystal, but he was busy running the Adele Cathedral and kept away from his shadowworking work. But after the coup d 'état, he was asked by Salomon, and also served as a counselor and staff member for each Tsim Jing Diocese, including the White Tsim Crystal.

So Lucia went up to the Holy City and contacted Civil Bake, and asked him how Leni had taken up the task of capturing the traitor of the Black Spike Crystal, and Sybil had Salomon's orders or had Luffraid and Ishur accompany him as well.

"I tell Mira more about it, but she says the black fugitive in the example has infiltrated the Grand Duchy of Alsar in the past"

Lucia had been instructed by Mira, or had kept informed of what Ishur cared most about.

"Right."

... This is great. It's just a shame.

Ishur uplifted his face to joy, but his voice was low and short, and he said with restraint.

I didn't really want to be distracted around me.

... Now we can cross to the west bank of the Dylave River without any problems and without any suspicion from the Luffraids.

That black sharp crystal has been crossed from Soleil here to the other shore, where other shadow work resides in the important stronghold of the Holy Kingdom. Anyone would think then, just like that night, that they had moved closer to the opposite shore.

"The temple chief sends his regards to Ishr. Leni Pujer, please."

Then Katka told Ishur.

"Oh."

Sounds like that soft Sybil, cares.

"Ishur, if that's the case, then the line will be to infiltrate Alsar and search the west bank of the Dylave River for the White Spike Crystal, both names who fought with this Katka and with Leni Pujer the other day, on the side of our kingdom, the east bank"

That's what Luffraid said and nodded satisfactorily several times.

"Okay."

"He was able to rendezvous well in the outskirts of Soleil with the white pointed crystal that accompanied Mr. Leni,"

When Ishur nodded at Luffraid and looked at Mira's face, she explained to me the news after that, of the white pointed crystal, which was following the black pointed crystal with Leni.

... Katoka wasn't the only one, after all?

When Ishur followed and glanced at Katka and Lucia, they both smiled and nodded small.

Lucia also played an important role in making contact with Sybil Bake, who binds the white sharp crystals close to Salomon.

But this is just as lucky. I was lucky. Now you can enter Alsar and head to the ruins of the main temple of the water without being suspicious of Luffraid and others.

……

And finally, turning to Rifia and Nina, they were still smiling and smiling happily.

Later that night, the Ishurs quickly boarded a disguised merchant ship at the measure of Luffraid, retracing the Dylave River and once again entering a hidden fort near the West Bank.

The banks of the river both east and west have swarms of wetlands, such as reeds. The wetlands dotted with large and small marshes continue all the way to the back, especially in Lonere, the Grand Duchy of Alsar, which hits the opposite bank of Soleil.

This reef-like castle, floating in vast wetlands, is the epitome of the river bandits who call themselves “Fountains of Fioa," but its inner body is a secret unit made up of the Soleil Guards of the Holy King, Knights soldiers and shadow workers (hunters).

Along the way, the Ishur line switched to the boat in an inconspicuous manner and arrived at the fort by the time it was still dark at dawn. Again, Luffraid himself took the form of a pull rate.

After that, they all took a break until around noon, and several meetings of Arthurian infiltration were held in the afternoon.

Before the meeting, Ishur woke up earlier than the others and went to the well he had previously seen in an attempt to take a bath.

"Ugh..."

It is still well sunny today and the time is near noon, and the sun rises high, and the sunlight falling from between the trees shines bright.

When Ishur looked up into the sky, he narrowed his eyes and took a sigh of relief.

Green, bright skies, and the brilliance of the sun were powerful enough to heal the heart, which was continually exhausted by tension.

"Is that it?"

At the same time as a vacant lot could be seen between the trees, there were signs of several or more people around the well.

I can hear the girls laughing and grunting like flowers. And I heard the man's voice mixed up there too.

"Ah, Mr. Ishl!

"Romir......"

Out in the open, the girls and the boy who was at the well end rushed over. Romir.

Girls with smiles and bright faces were village daughters brought from the village of Karpini the other day.

"... you look good, Romir"

Ishur said at the top of the Buddha.

"You've gotten along a lot with those kids."

"What, no, that's"

Romir put his hand behind his head, and when he glanced at the girls, he swung his hands, about two, small.

"Mm-hmm. While we were doing laundry together, we got along? Have we become so close already?

... I've been teasing you a long time, too.

"Oh, you know. More about the shadow work of the traitor, what happened?

Romir asked with a low voice.

... Oops. Haven't the Romyrs been informed yet?

"Oh, I failed to catch him. It's pretty bad."

Ishur said with a serious face.

"Get me Celia and Noctua, too. Let's go into the details."

Sayria is Mira's, and Noctua is a made-up with a refill.

You can't tell them everything like Mira and the others, but you have to tell them that in a lot of detail. At least exactly what actually happened. I can't help hiding it.

"Yes. Okay."

Romir waved hard at the girls and went toward the fort hall, into the wood.

Ishur also approached them well and followed Romir.

Clear, the girls laughed in my ears.

"This pictorial map shows the ruins of the main temple of the water."

Ruffled slapped around the middle of a map spread out on his desk and said with a groan of moustache.

He is John Silver of the River Bandit's Head and Land when he is in the Hidden Fort.

"The map itself is quite a mess, and the location of the temple of water is a good addition. It's not gonna happen."

The map he shows depicts the city of Loney in the Grand Duchy of Alsar, Sorail on the eastern bank of the river Dileib running north and south and somewhat deep in the West Bank. Its predominantly northern area is called the Lonere region, and the majority is covered by forests. The picture map depicts it as such. On the western side of the map, parallel to the Dylave River, a hilly area stretched north and south, with a painting of the temple marked “Temple of Ancient Fioa” on its eastern side, around the middle of the forest.

The Temple of the Lord of Water, which preceded the ancient Urk, referred to its “Temple of the Ancient Fiore”.

"Three hundred miles (about 180 km long) from Ronay to go to the woods, they say"

Zilley supplemented from next to Ruffreid.

"What do you say, Ishur? Not at a distance you can't fly away. Besides, I also have the magic equipment of the earth now. Even from above the sky, it will be easy to find."

And, this is what Rifia said.

"Well, there's nothing I can't go to"

Ishur said to look at Lifia standing in the front and whine.

Together, they had gathered at a private house where they had taken a break the other day, spreading on the tabletop the map that Gilley had brought from the castle, and a meeting on the West Bank crossing of the Dylave River.

"I want to come to the temple of water with considerable leeway. Three hundred miles with you, it's a little hard to fly in search of the woods."

Lucia and Romir and others are also to be taken to the forests of Lonere, quite close to the temple ruins. Supplies such as food and tents for camping must be transported and the Mira, Refia and Nina must also be taken care of. Because they are aristocratic women, nobles, they also take the nearest samurai to these adventures.

Taking them all the way to the Romyrs on air travel is still a considerable burden. On the face of it, we are supposed to carry out searches for Leni and Black Spike Crystals mainly on the return route, so we can't just not take the Romyrs carrying food and such. Because there is also the possibility of staying in the Grand Duchy for quite a long time.

Besides, the surrounding area is certainly an unpopulated forest area, but its outer edge is littered with large and small settlements inhabited by the people of the Grand Duchy of Alsar. There are also castles and fortifications. If you have a wizard, you may be noticed when you travel through the air. It raises multiple names into the air and travels there at speeds avoiding interference with barometric changes, etc. Pretty powerful, complex wind magic would be observed. Even if the human wizard doesn't know because of the distance, the covenant spirits almost certainly notice it.

If it is a crossing from the side of the Holy King, it will definitely be a rough thing. It's not where Leni searches. We need to try not to be noticed by Alsar as much as possible, the policy has not changed as before.

Ishur then lay his hands on his chin and bent over.

... That's not all.

Somehow, it feels “different” to enter temple ruins all at once from the air. Yeah, when you go through the "procedure” wrong, things don't happen the way you'd expect them to.

I feel like I can't get my water magic gear or take Leni back.

If you go the wrong way, there will be no "event”.

"Hmm, well, I guess so"

"If you do it too flashy, the Grand Duchy side may notice you"

"Uhm. Then leave the fort tomorrow at dawn as planned, land in a good spot on the scaffolding of the wetlands of the West Bank, then fine"

Luffraid made a statement and closed the meeting with the Ishurs as they had previously met.

After the adjournment, as the preparations were completed and the darkness still lingered at night, one line left the fort aboard two boats.

To the ship that led the way were Ishur and Mira. Lefred the chief, Gillette the offering, the bowmen and rowers, and the shadow-workers and knights of the directions, and Rifia, Nina, and Romir boarded the boat behind them.

The guide also knew the terrain of the West Bank, and went behind without confusion through the thin, reedy maze of riverside.

... Shield Lord, there is still a distance, but I feel some sign...

The day after Leni and one of the Black Spirit Crystals, the voice of Yug, the Golden Spirit who summoned him at the Pasla Palace, sounded like a tap on the bottom of his heart.

Around are river surfaces, like ink, and swarms of reeds with creepy shadows.

There are no people nearby, but I can't use flashy magic. The surrounding area is also a hunting ground for lizardmen (Lizardmans) living southwest of the fort. If you encounter them and make a scene, the inhabitants of the Grand Duchy side may notice.

... a lizard man? No way human, fisherman......

Local residents should stay away from places like the Lizards.

...... I don't know yet. Hmm? What?

Youg answers Ishl's query. But the voice of his heart turns from the middle of nowhere to the nervous one.

"What's wrong? Ishur."

"Whoa."

Mira's push-kill voice from behind, Luffraid also reacts.

And, from the boat behind, Nina's Spirit, Erlina, signifies.

A moment late, Ishl also noticed.

Some giant shadow plunders the side of the boat, underwater.

...... big.

Mr. Ishur, it's Kawagi (Lemora).

I hear Nina's push-kill cry.

"Oh."

"It's a weird fish."

of the men on board, a whispering voice.

... Yug, keep it down.

The more the creatures in the water are, the more the sea pigeons (sharks) are, the larger they are, but they move away from the boat. There's no sign of coming at us.

It's not that deep, so I can feel a slight look in the water with the magic of the soil, but I don't know the details.

... No, not what I said. They're coming forward.

"What?"

It's not magic. Were you erasing signs?

reed swinging, rubbing earlobes. Some giant shadow flew overhead.

At the same time, there is a water noise and a spear sticks out of the river.

The tip flies when there is a scream. It's Yug's magic.

Then came the shadow that appeared from the surface of the water, the eyes of its beast and eyes.

The shadow that jumped overhead landed farther than I thought, disappearing between reeds.

"Gee."

It rings with a creepy voice and the beast in front of it sinks into the water.

Did you see my face and run away?

"Lizardman!"

Mira's screaming voice. Sharka stands still in the fight back.

Youg, Erlina, and Rifia.

There are still signs of a few lizards, mainly forward.

"I'm coming."

That's where Zilley sounded. And Luffraid, who promises "um".

……

For a moment, the surrounding space sways. I am attacked by strange intoxication.

... This is the magic of shaking, no, the boundaries.

"Magda's,“ The Magic of the Eye "…"

Silent, focused zilley.

"That's right. Magda is attached to my brother, and Zilley is an escort attached to me. We both use the same, swinging junction magic"

From behind the zilley, Luffraid answered in a different way.

Magda was securely escorting Salomon like a shadow, a beautiful but somehow inconspicuous female exorcist.

Blurry and shaky ambient signs. All but himself, his positional relationship became blurred, and the little but bottomless wild outrages of the lizards on the reef moved backwards, far away.

"Was the little herd of lizards chasing after the river cuckoo (lemorah)?"

... right...

To Ishur's whining, Eug's responsive voice was heard in his brain.

On board, it quieted as if there had been no rear boat or anything, and when the night dawned, the surroundings were covered with thick mist and light rain had fallen out.

"The Zilley junction is less pronounced than using magic"

After a while, Luffraid laughed at Ishl for saying so when he ordered Zilley to unravel the line.

"Yes."

Ishur replied with a small voice, something, a sharp gaze forward.

On the back of the guide's man, and at the end of the grey mist beyond his tip, he felt signs of a riverbank where people could walk.
