■ Night 60: Those who stare at heaven
"To put it simply, they don't kill women.Even if it's harmful.But that doesn't mean you want to inflict pain.Instead ─ ─ "
Unexpectedly, Kirsch lost sight of the answer.
"Instead, reverse? Don't you want to inflict pain?!What?! What are you talking about? "
"The Impure King: The Knights of Cure Zabain and Sludge (Ooze) think and aim.It's still the same. "
The tone of voice was mild, but it was affirmative.
Kirsch has no choice but to lose his words and turn his eyes black and white.
It was only ten seconds after I was able to ask again.
"But what does that mean... what does that mean?!"
Yeah, and Ashley nodded again.
Saint Shield at the bottom of the ship: Blanwell survived a small wave.
The vibration is transmitted.
"They always want two things.One is a woman as a partner.The other is... humans as livestock that produces food.Attempting to satisfy both conditions at the same time will result in such looting and pillaging. "
"Partner?! And yet livestock?! What do you mean?!"
Ashley continued to be patient with Kirsch's expression that she had no idea at all.
I would like to convey it in a thoughtful expression (...) that is not as direct as possible, but I can't think of a good phrase.
That's right, I kept roaring.
"The unclean king Athelui investigated: the legend of Cuazabain had this passage."
Ashley glanced at the part.
"Oh, great Armagnas, I will not give him a crown of pain.He shall make the land of darkness and the land of uncleanness his chart, and his mission shall be to purify it.Beyond this, the king of uncleanness, walking under the sun, and eating the right food according to a covenant set as a crown ─ ─ "
"The first time I read this sentence was when I was still an apprentice at the Paladin, long before Athlei could look into it.At that time, it was only regarded as a common conquest/military discipline.I thought it was a mythical expression of how the great king of Agantilis, who had conquered the frontiers, had laid down an indomitable barbarian king who had not stopped resisting until the end, and how he had met him. "
But it wasn't.
Ashley took a deep breath that wasn't all.
"After a journey to the secrets of the world, my thoughts are different.They, the Impure King: The Knights of Cuazabain and Sludge (Ooze), were forced by King Agantilis's waved "Chicken" and the painful "Focus" to inhabit the underground world, the land of impurity, the groundwater. "
"Forced?!"
For what? Kirsch asked without putting in his hair.
Ashley answered immediately.
"Yes, to purify this underground world, the sewers of Agantilis."
It was Kirsch's turn to breathe.
"No way... how could such a thing be cleansed...?"
Ashley did not answer Kirsch's question.
I just nodded for a moment.
That was enough.
How can I purify the impurity?
It is the same as the question of how it returns to earth in the earthly world.
It is only the Knight of Sludge (Ooz) and the King of the Impure who shared it in this underground world.
"Time wandered, and one area, including its sewers, was raised to heaven as the Aerial Garden: Isla Hupelia.Dragon King: I don't know when it came into Smaugard's possession, but to sum it up, the possibility that Smaugard was one of the former Kings of Agantilis even surfaced. "
Well, that's just my own speculation.
Ashley continued whining.
"The Impure King: Cuazabain and the others have been forced to purify this impure underground world even after this groundwater system became part of the aerial garden.Aerial gardens: At the height of Isla Hupelia, there is no doubt that a significant part of the population was here.It's not hard to imagine what it means to keep purifying them day after day...Then, the body that was kneaded with this strong and repeated "Needle" lost even the "Chikara" that holds it together, and became equal to the chaos dropper. "
But then, the Impure King: the greatness of a man named Cuazabain in a sense.
This is also, perhaps, something.
With that annotation, Ashley says convinced that this is the truth.
"The Impure King: A man named Cure Zabain did not wish to completely abandon even the snagging and pride as a human (...).I didn't want to bend my knees to the imposition of hardship.That's why they stood as knights with their treasures and their equipment in their bones. "
Well, perhaps the indicator (tag) that I was punched into...
"Alternatively, it could have been part of a ritual of transformation into sludge.And then... it's like a procedure for livestock conversion.Maybe it's a reproduction of the humiliation they suffered. "
Kirsch trembled under Ashley.
I said with a sigh.
"But now Estelle... oh, and yet you're prioritizing me...Wait, Esther. I will always help you. "
"Oh, that's it, that's the spirit.Let's find a way back to that altar as soon as possible. "
As always, Ashley found herself being saved by the spirituality of Kirsch, who cares about Esther.
"Absolutely."
I swear to God, Kirsch nodded deeply and began to look more carefully for the exit.
