Survival in Another World With My Master
Episode 385 - Strolling through the Imperial Castle
After leaving the guest room, Isla and I were strolling through Dragonis, the king's capital of the mountain kingdom, and the royal castle that stood there.
Hmmm, should I say it's really rigid?
"From the outside, there were many spires and they looked splendid, but the contents were pragmatic. It's made especially to defend against monsters coming from the sky."
The royal castle seemed to have so many spires that the giants thought it would hurt if they stepped on it, but it seemed that most of the spires were anti-air defense facilities. Most of the windows in the castle were also fitted with metal armor doors, and all the windows seemed to be defensive.
"This castle itself has many places that use stone enhanced by magic." I can see the new repair marks. "
Is there a monster attacking you quite routinely? Well, it's just a matter of time.
Dorado, the capital of the kingdom, and the villages surrounding it are definitely inhabited by people, but their surroundings are basically monstrous. There was not as much density as the Sorel Mountains, which was the realm of monsters that became complete stones, but it was hard to imagine that there would be many monsters.
"However, the stone reinforced by magic is quite sturdy, right?" What kind of monster is coming from the sky to destroy it? "
"Wyvern, Kimaila, Griffon, Hippogriff... maybe a demon."
What, you mean the devil?
“That's what they call it. Demons are fierce monsters that emerge from nowhere. Although its appearance is not constant, it is covered with thick, thick skin and has horns and wings. You can see them communicating with each other in terms of words, but no communication has ever been established between humans and daemons. It's basically brutal, and it kills and tricks people. It's not like I'm going to eat anything, but I'm going to kill it."
"What's so scary about that?"
Yes, it's dangerous. Some people fly and use destruction magic more powerful than most other people.
I don't know, those Absolute Man-killers. What was it for, and who made it, and how?
The one who contacted me before, the main god of Adolpheism, this world feels like a creation. To be precise, I have the impression that it was made with supertechnology that I could not imagine. Such a world---a planet that exists only to kill humans--no, the very existence of monsters. So the demons are at the forefront of this? What is the significance of monsters in the first place? What does the placement of vicious hostile creatures mean... demographic adjustments, after all? Or to adjust the balance of power among the Jewish tribes? Hmm?
Korske?
"I'm sorry, I was just thinking. Well, I can't help but think about what I don't have an answer for."
"Yeah? But let me ask you later." I want to know what Koosuke thinks about the daemon. "
Okay. Looks like we're going somewhere big.
There are also signs of people, and it seems that the sun is shining and it is brighter than the hallway. I can feel the wind, so it looks like it's in the courtyard or something.
Training ground?
I think so.
It seems that we arrived at the training ground of the soldiers working in the castle. Most of the soldiers were lizard men and large beasts, and among them were people with dragon-like horns, wings, and tails. The Dragonis Mountain Kingdom seemed to be a subordinate country.
The spear is the main weapon, isn't it?
I guess so. Maybe the Dragon Cavalry's main weapon is a spear.
I see.
But you don't need to train at a time like this. Oh, no. Soldiers like us who come to the castle have changed a lot. The sudden addition of more than 50 people to the castle may have had some impact.
As Ira and I watched the training of the soldiers, we saw a giant beast appear behind us. Everyone is armed and wears armor of a different design than the castle's soldiers.
Everyone had lions-that is, there were lion-like parts somewhere in their bodies, and there was a man walking in the lead-perhaps a man with a lion's face. It was reminiscent of Sir Leonard, but this lion man looked a lot worse in his eyes.
"There's a white raw sprout. It's a blind spot. Let's go.”
"... eh?"
If you think you're going to walk past me, you stop right in front of me, and suddenly this is it. I was also puzzled by this.
"Oh... Stay, Eilastay"
We have to stop it.
At some point, I grabbed Aira's shoulder and stopped her while she took out a short wand with plenty of Mithril on it. It's hard to let go of magic in a place like this.
"I asked you, are you insane? Did you say that because you knew who I was? Do you allow strangers to make abusive comments all of a sudden? If you want to cancel your statement, it's now. I can do what I haven't heard yet."
Perhaps you could sense a sinister sign in the corner of your sight, or perhaps you could catch a knight coming toward you, a tall soldier with a dragon-like horn. If my guess is correct, the dragon-like parts of the Dragonine Mountain Kingdom belong to the royal lineage, or the family of nobles close to the royal family. I don't know who this villainous lion man is, but if the Dragonis Mountain Kingdom finds out that the man in front of me insulted me, it'll probably be a hassle.
"What's wrong with calling a white boyfriend a white boyfriend?" You can't handle a sword or a spear with that weak body, can you? "
The disgusting lion man said so in a foolish tone and laughed with his nose. Along with that, the other lionish beasts also laughed. Oh... no more... how come you can't figure it out there? Or a dragon-like knight... I don't want to be a dragon knight anymore. Is this a statement from the Dragon Knight coming this way?
"I don't know what happened..."
While muttering, the temple is removed by hand. I began to get a headache when I imagined what was going to happen.
“Oh my God, I need you to refrain from unnecessary cooking in the room.”
Um-
"This man insulted my husband."
I tried to get rid of it, but Aira said it sooner and threw her fingers at the lionish man. Is that Aira?
"I called it a white raw sprout without the power to fight. If you don't withdraw your apology, you'll have to recover your honor by withdrawing it in a duel."
I see. How are you?
"I don't want to retract my remarks. Let's stand up for the duel?"
With that said, the lion man smiled with a snarling smile. The position of Isla's head, which was small in height, did not reach the waist of the giant lion man. It's an overwhelming difference in stature. If you look at it from the side, you will normally think that it won't be a match.
But Isla is a court mage with a genius magic talent. Even the crossbow arrows fired from close range are instantly caught by the physical barrier unfolded, and instantly unleashed the magic of thunder to defeat the assassin. The Lion Man certainly seems strong, but it would be almost impossible to confront Ira, who manipulates the physical barrier, with a simple physical.
"Okay, if it means a duel based on mutual consent with honor, we have no right to stop it. I'll be the witness."
What? You're not stopping me!? That's my honest feeling, but the progress of things after that made me feel better than ever.
Let's fight!
"Why...? Why...?"
Why am I supposed to duel with a fucking lion man in crowd surveillance!?
