Episode 297: Kite Investigation Mission

"Okay, let's end the break."

The special mission knights escorting the investigation team came up and stood up.

Resting on a rock, I got up with the help of a miner of the same age.

"Are you going?"

Then, one of the special knights smiled while holding Cantera.

"If you set your pace, the survey will not be completed by the deadline."

When I was told by my father and a knight of that age, I felt awkward.

The knights are all uncles, but they have heavy armor and shields. It seems to be relatively light because it is armor for walking, but it is impossible for me.

I'm on a research mission at the Boltz mine.

Accompanying are three special guard knights and two young miners serving as guides.

The task force knight is a saucer for knights who have lost their ranks as a result of the reorganization of the knights. Council ... Especially Mr. Weid was sorry that he founded the "Special Knight" job as Grandmaster.

Weid, always, "I'm going to be angry, even if you take care of others' pride."

Werewolf shouldn't care about pride or honor, but Mr. Weid is strangely familiar.

Really that person, where and what kind of training did you do?

On the other hand, both miners are new rice.

The Boltz mine was once crushed by the beasts of the Second Division of the Demon King's Army. The miners have all been killed, and the ones currently working are those hired recently.

I don't know anything about old tunnels, but I still work every day here. It would be the best guide.

I actually wanted a little magician's assistant, but I couldn't because there were so few magicians.

Thanks to this, I have to investigate all the tunnels stretched on this stupid mountain.

I'm not going to be crazy ...

Well, why not compare to when I was working in the Senate?

The reason why we have to investigate is also due to the Senate's shit.

It is presumed that the Boltz mine was the place where the elders who had been expelled by the dreaded Princess Eleanor tried to escape.

Why such a place?

Everyone thinks so, but no one knows the answer.

The damn elders were bothering you until they died. I should die. No, I'm dead.

Well, don't get angry at Mr. Weid when thinking about this.

Weid, because he hates saying bad things about the dead ...

Studying with a necromancer may result in respect for the dead.

I use detection techniques on the ground floor to pick up the lost traces.

"This branch hasn't been used for more than a hundred years ... I can't even detect the deposits and it's an abandoned mine."

"What is a loss?"

The missionary knights look at each other and sigh.

I don't have to walk all the way back, thank you.

Had Mr. Weid occupied this area, it would not have been such a trouble.

I recall when I had searched here before on the orders of the Senate.

The buildings at the foot were messed up because the beasts were rampaging.

When I looked into the crushed stone using the technique of past vision, it was read that there was a terrible destruction of the beasts.

At that time, I was afraid of the power of the beast and the fighting instinct, but Mr. Weid had a stronger arm than the beasts, so it's already a shit.

You're stronger than a beast, you can't compete with humans anymore.

Really, that guy was a good demon.

Well now I'm the deputy secretary of Mr. Waight.

Life is interesting.

While walking, I walk down an unknown tunnel.

Of the several tunnels, most were just abandoned. Perhaps because of flooding, collapse, or digging up the deposit.

There was only one strange tunnel.

"The inclination is strange ... Why are you going up?"

Normal humans won't know, but I can find my location through detection.

After a short walk, I noticed that the altitude was rising only slightly.

"Well, the mine sometimes goes up?"

"I don't know about it, but all of the mines are down.

As the miners answer so, I will investigate further.

Don't think I can deceive my eyes, the ghosts of the Senate.

The tunnel is quite old, but seems to have been well maintained. It seems that people came in and out regularly.

"I don't know how much time passes because it's a mine, but maybe one or two years ago, there was a guy who came here alone."

"Who?"

"I seemed to come in without light, and I couldn't tell from a past glance."

If any of the elders escaped, the timing would match.

The mission knights looked away.

"Watch out for the front row with me and Howman. Glad asks me to leave."

"OK"

Two of the three veteran knights lead. The other one was behind me and the miners.

Don't get used to it.

The missionary knights were stripped of their status by Eleora as "no qualifications as leader", but the knight is still a knight. In such a case, it is definitely reliable.

I walk deep into the tunnel, staring at the back of the uncle's armor.

There was an old door behind the tunnel, but it was open. Behind it is a hollow like a room, with one corpse rolling. This is the end of the tunnel.

The corpse was dry in a cold and damp room.

"It's a pretty old body. Is my clothes just underwear?"

"Probably someone who was exiled, but I've often come this far."

The knights are looking down around the corpse.

The identity of the corpse will be readily apparent upon examination, but I did not touch it.

The condition of the corpse was obviously strange.

Why is the corpse dry in a damp room?

"The corpse is suspicious. Watch out."

"No way ...?"

The knights were skeptical of my warning, but still drew his sword like a fighting pro.

Then I noticed that the corpse was grabbing something. A metal cup.

More than half were buried in mud in the dark, but the shape is familiar.

It looks exactly like Ason's treasure in the country of Wa.

He was distracted by the corpse and was late to notice.

This guy is terrible.

"It's dangerous! Leave everyone!"

As I shouted, the knights all held up their shields. Retreat to protect me. The miners hide behind me behind in time.

"What's wrong?"

"The cup he has, probably a magical tool!"

I screamed and tried to use detection techniques on the cup that the corpse was holding.

But sooner, magic begins to swirl around. It was tremendous quality and quantity, though I couldn't feel it before.

At the same time, the dried body began to struggle.

"Kisasama ... Maju Maju Tsukikyo Magic Bureau ... A little researcher ..."

The hilarious voice echoes strangely, but not because of the room.

What is that guy?

One of the knights looks at me.

"what will you do!?"

"Let's escape for the time being! I feel bad when fighting properly!"

How the best detectives in Miraraldia are spilling out crazy information. I'm not really

But now I have no time to scrutinize.

I have no fighting power, and the knights do not see the flow of magic.

You have to escape like this.

However, the corpse roars violently and keeps moaning, breaking bones.

"Fufu-fu-fu-fu revenge ... if we have to get rid of it ... lol ..."

"Don't you know, stupid! I must die quietly!"

I turned my back and tried to escape.

At that moment, the walls of the room crumbled, and the skeletons came up.

They are all armed and have considerable magic. A dead soldier created by necromancy, a skeleton soldier.

At this moment, the initiative of the field shifted to the special knights.

"I'll save you!"

"Kites retreat!"

The three knights protect us by stiffening the exit.

I nodded and pressed the miners' backs.

"I'll run away in a hurry! I won't be able to escape unless we escape!"

"Yes, yes!"

Skeletons swing their swords and spears and flood the three knights. No, too many.

"Run away, too!"

I cried unbearably, but the knights shouted with the shield pushing the skeletons back.

"Silly! This is our job!"

"Go to the little boy!"

Knights fight back with swords while defending themselves with their shields side by side.

Is my skill equal?

Then there's no win. Because there are too many enemies.

But if you continue to ask and answer here, the knights will become even more dangerous.

"I don't know!"

"That's okay! If we escape, there's no one to protect you!"

The knights laughed, waving their swords, and one of them shouted:

"Oh, yes. If you return safely, please report that we three fought bravely!"

"What are you saying at this time !?"

I look back as I run, shouting in the darkness behind.

Then I heard a funny voice from behind the darkness.

"What the most important thing is that if we fight with honor, my sons will be rewarded!"

"Stupid!"

I screamed and ran.

I wanted to say something back, but I couldn't hear any more.

I am led by the miners and jump out of the mine. Dusk was already approaching outside.

We ran to the bottom so that we could fall and issued evacuation orders to all mining officials. Miners, engineers and guards are all members.

"Run away! A horde of skeletal soldiers is coming! Run out and scatter around the cities around you and tell the guards about this!

I straddle a horse and look back at the mine behind.

Quickly signing and checking in the distance, he saw a large number of skeleton soldiers descending the mountain from the exit of the tunnel.

At the top of the platoon are figures other than skeletal soldiers.

Three knights pierced by a spear. She seemed to resist until the last minute, and was tattered.

Needless to say, it has become zombie.

All I can do now is run away.

But if I do not escape safely and give me information, I will die more.

"……Fuck"

I watch the west sky while running a horse to the magic city Lünheit.

I muttered as I thought, taking in the light of the sunset.

"Why isn't that person at such a time ..."

Milardia's sun was about to set.
