'Huh? Why do I have to work with Yowaningen, huh!

Spiritualists are a species of longevity. Life expectancy is much longer than that of humans, old and lax, and thus lead a life as peaceful as a plant.

For such a high-ranking species, the life of the species' man ', who was born, had children, and died at more than three times that rate, is reflected in a very eye-catching object.

Many spirituals draw into the woods and rarely go out because they look down on less capable people, but they feel like their eyes turn when they look at the rush of life of that species who look like them.

In this sense, the Cruz and others who abandoned their rich and relaxed lives and descended into human society could be described as very active and curious.

To the protesting cruz, the esteemed party leader, the leader of the Star's Holy Thunder (Starlight), Lapis Furgol, narrowed his pitiful amethyst eyes and said in a resolute voice.

'Cruz, this is a good opportunity. Rarely do we have the opportunity to be involved in the task of "The Thousand Changes", which rarely raises our hips. Lucia Roger - It's an opportunity to figure out how "Vientiane Freedom" got that much power. This is a critical task that will lead to our future.'

"But, Lapis. I'm not used to escorts, is I? It could be annoying '

I know the reason. The Cruz and the others are more curious and uplifting than ordinary spirituals. Not as good as Eliza in Wandering, who has no idea what she's thinking, but Cruz doesn't hate working with humans to move. But there was anxiety.

Cruz, a spiritual man, is stained with the spirit man's temperament. I'm careful, but it really pisses people off. I can't even use respectful language without still being aware of the language.

If the opponent is just a merchant, doing disrespectful things won't pull you that far, but in the aristocratic opponent, you don't know what happens in case the emperor does in the opponent. The party, of course, will have an impact on the clan.

I have no idea what Yowaningen, with his missing face during that time, intended to voice the Lapis.

Lapis nodded to Eagle Deep in Cruz's words.

"I don't know why he spoke to us, but if you follow the instructions in The Changes, you're wrong. And learn how to use that power. I don't just help because I was asked to. This is the only mission you can do, Cruz.

It's a critical role. For several years as a clanmaster, he solves a number of difficult cases, on which he identifies the power of The Thousand Changes, which has always been a mystery. It would also be good for the party, but I am interested in how Cruz himself, Lucia's power, was cultivated.

Grab a fist and get in the mood. And so I came up with a fu, and I saw the leader.

'With that said, why me?. There are other members who are more appropriate,'

To Cruz with an astonishing look, Lapis flaunted his shoulder and said.

'Is that so... You're the best of us. You'll get along with The Thousand Changes.

§

At all, Lapis is making a terrible mistake. Cruz is not close to The Thousand Changes. I'm just helping you as a noble spiritual man because you ask me to. I am only fulfilling my duty as a powerful one.

In the first place, Yowaningen is Lucia's brother. With rational judgment, Cruz is dealing with them.

Besides, Yowaningen is fuzzy and out of time, but he's not a bad guy for a human being.

That's what I've always thought.

So, suddenly, to the sight played out in front of him, Cruz was just stunned by the serious matter of being a spiritual man.

The hall looked like a dead body. The escorts, who had been placed to protect Emperor Zebuldia, would run out, but would fall, and would not move in a tickle.

The only person who has not yet lost consciousness is Franz Argman, who is also the head of the Knights, the employer of the Cruz and the others.

There is a dim space outside the large windows. Franz knelt down and glanced at the tellum with a sharp eye.

"Ha, ha... duh, what do you mean..."

"Hmmm... Your Majesty is the power of the junction finger... no way, did you replace the damage of Her Royal Highness on your shoulders? Is that the power of armor? Weren't you one of them?................................. Well, fine. But you better not move. You're gonna die... but even the rest of your life will run out."

Thelm's expression was calm. And there's also a sticky grin on the look of "Thousands of Changes" right around the corner.

I didn't understand. No, maybe he didn't want to.

Cause of the collapse of the guards. This is - magic.

Plus, extremely powerful and quiet magic. It's magic just to kill lives. Spiritualists (knobbles) do not use such harsh magic.

The escorts were still alive. I feel unconscious and incapable of fighting, but I feel the beat of life. But it's slowly debilitating. If we don't treat him quickly, he dies within a short distance.

Intuition made me understand. This is - efficiency. I thought about efficiency, so I didn't kill him in an instant. It is not sweet. Because you die anyway, you don't 'waste' magically stopping to the roots of your breath, etc. That's the thing.

Even the moment he saw the magic that knocked down the Childragon herd, Cruz was under cold impression everywhere by the magic of the Term. I thought it was my fault, but my instincts were right.

Humans are horrible. It grows fast because of its short lifespan, and kills people without hesitation because of its rush to live.

This is - is it true?

The chill runs. The feel of a different wand I gripped in my right hand. I open my mouth a little, but it wasn't a spell that came out, it was a scream.

"Duh, what do you mean, it is! You know what you did. Ketchachakka, why don't you stop Telm, it is!

"... didn't you persuade me," Thousands of Changes "? Well, fine. I don't have your treatment in my hands. I can't even be an enemy. If you don't want to get hurt, keep pulling back."

"Ugh..."

"Huh!?

To the words, Cruz understood the situation. I didn't want to understand, but I did.

The look on the face of His Majesty the Emperor was in no hurry over this period. However, that gaze is rugged.

Put your hands on the treasure sword on your hips and ask Term.

"I knew I was lurking nearby... Thelm Apocrys. Are you the 'fox'!?

"Whatever. But I've already said goodbye. And the ship will fall."

You can't win. Even if you strike a surprise in Cruz, you won't defeat Telm.

Thelm's power is so superior that he doesn't think he's human. Perhaps not even Lucia Roger in the field of water, the Great Mage. And I'm still alert to Term Apocrys, who hasn't seen Cruz.

If there's a winner, it depends on the power of this treasure cane that you keep...

The look on "Thousands of Changes" had not changed at all since shortly after Term came in.

With that pitiless grin, Cruz felt a strong chill for the first time. If Thelm's words are correct, Johanningen is...

No, I already understood. I just didn't want to believe it. If the tellum has been attacked with assassins in the first place, the first thing we should confront should be The Thousand Changes.

Take a short distance from Yowaningen and set up a cane.

Franz stands up with his sword on his cane. But his eyes are cloudy and his expression pale. The movement was slow, and now Cruz would be stronger even in melee combat.

"Klee Andrich... you... the 'fox'"

Franz's breathing was rough. No noticeable trauma, but half dead.

Still, pull out the sword with powerless motion. The tip of a well polished sword was trembling.

"I won't let you do it. Absolutely, I thought it was suspicious. Damn, I thought so! Your Majesty, I won't let you!

"Brilliant loyalty… but your cause of defeat is to have seen us sweetly. 'Fox' is... everywhere. The other members have already finished. Let me show you how far the Knights under Emperor Zebuldia can go against the four of us."

At a glance. The tellum was adequate. The emperor has quite the skill of a sword, but just not as much as he enemies the Term.

No, no one is hostile. Even if Franz was safe, if the other Knights were alive, and if Cruz cooperated there, there's no way he won or anything like that when the Term and Thousand Changes of Water became enemies.

"I believed you - I missed you, Yowaningen! Yes!"

Kilnite has not wandered around in this situation. Perhaps Kilnite is also a fox. Calm down, there's no way a guy with a noisy name such as Kilnite could be decent.

Think calmly and calmly about your expensive emotions. You have no chance of winning.

I'm guessing it's Yowaningen's instructions that Cruz is alive. Are you gonna turn me back in? But it's underestimated.

It can't be that Cruz Argen betrayed the escort. Cruz is not a conspiracy lover. If you want to live ugly, you choose to die proud as a noble spiritual man.

All you can do is run away. Make a hole in the ship and escape. If it's about falling, I can magically manage it. Without a chaser, though.

I can't let them all live. The priority is His Majesty the Emperor, and the second is His Royal Highness the Empress. Cruz made up his mind.

Use great magic. Breathe well and sharpen your consciousness. The flimsy intent to kill and the elaborate immense magic of Term fills one room.

And so the ever silent Thousands of Changes murmured with some serious look on his face.

"Fox...?........................... what are you talking about?
