Sword of the Philosopher

The Knights are based in the fort. It seems that it has been the longest time since it has been used, and there are signs of repairs everywhere.

It's quite large, but as difficult as it is to get a large number of soldiers in. Therefore, it seems that this fort, where the human side has gradually become more exuberant, is also becoming narrow.

There was some discussion going on outside when we arrived. I wasn't surprised because I knew what was going on through the demon, and Sophia was guessing, so I read his name without so much shock.

"Canaan!"

- Dear Sophia,

A visit to the Knights' fort was Canaan, king of the kingdom of Alastin, who swept around.

I'll explain the situation to Alto and the others. In another surprise, Eina and Sophia have a conversation.

"Although, according to the story, he seemed to be in quite a swing"

"I haven't moved that much myself, mostly because General Boslo and others were in the lead... but anyway, this is how I'm going to the Knights fort"

"What's its purpose?

"To have you fight with us, no matter what"

- It's no stranger to have his appearance than to have a joint front in the southern invasion. Rather, this can also be said to be the default route.

"Dear Sophia!

Now the voice of Raefin. I see her approaching Sofia from the entrance to the fort.

"I've been waiting for you. Apparently, I knocked him out."

"Yes."

Nodding, she sends her gaze to Eina.

"Eina, let's go to the report first."

"Okay."

"- I want to talk to a lot of people, too."

Canaan says. That probably means you want to talk to me.

"Lord Luon... this one's done a lot of work"

And Balzard, who followed Raefin, said.

"Let's welcome you to the fort. And destroy the demons of the castle, thank you."

Well, welcome, but from everything that's happened, it looks like there's confusion in the fort, too. Well, I guess it also has to do with the appearance of Canaan and Sofia.

"I heard some talk in this fort"

In the meantime, I get put through to a place like a small conference room to talk. The opponent is Canaan. No one is here but me and him.

"It seems I don't want to talk in depth because it's about me... but whatever, the Queen of Silf with Sophia was present. You can think of the problem as eliminated."

"I agree."

"So here's the thing... what's the situation?

I'll briefly explain it to Canaan.

"... Destroying the Five Demons is undoubtedly a good thing, but even if it's too early, there will be a problem?"

"The spirits are working at all costs right now. Gark said he could make it."

"Okay. I can only expect you to work on that... please"

When this one nods, Canaan cuts out yet another topic.

"You haven't talked to anyone but your people about you yet?

"Yeah. Just in case, let it be. Even if we talk, I think it's better if we seal up the magic of the Demon King."

"Okay. I'll leave the timing to Lord Luon."

After snorting, Canaan goes on to ask more questions.

"How do we move in the future?

"... My people are currently attacking the fourth body of the Five Demons. Undoubtedly, after defeating him, the southern invasion begins. Be prepared for that."

"But it is also a situation in which the Demons are dominating various countries. I freed some by my hand..."

"You just have to look at how to get out. Because the story didn't describe the area."

If we let them attack us at the same time - should we anticipate invading us in that way and consider countermeasures?

"... King Canaan, I think the Knights will announce the existence of Sofia and me and my people will move with them"

"In it, how does Lord Luon move?

"We may be following demonic trends for a while. In some cases, you might just do what you left behind."

"Okay. Talk to Lord Luon and the others about the area. I move to improve the situation a little before the southern invasion"

"If we have to, we'll work together too… but we can't reveal my powers yet, so our activities will be limited."

"Okay. Think about it"

The conversation is over, I'm out. Okay, next up is Sylvie and the others.

If things have gotten worse, reports are coming... then I'll need to head east at full speed too. I'll just prepare for that - whining in my chest, and I decided to rest for a moment.

Ask them to prepare a room in the fort and check the situation of Silvi and the others with the user demon. It's just hard to get demons inside your castle, so you have to wait for them to come out.

While observing trends, Sofia visits the room. Apparently she cared about Silvi and the others, too.

"Dear Luon, what is the status of Sylvie and the others?

"You stay in the castle. I don't think Sylvie and the others would do it because they presume to have as much power as Guddis..."

"What if I couldn't take him down?

"I'll go. I think we can take them down even with the addition and subtraction..."

I said as I grabbed my head and looked at her.

"... is it going to be a little further before the confusion in the fort subsides?

"It seems that the appearance of me and Canaan makes people in the fort all kinds of bumpy, too. It's just that Knight Balzard says it won't take long to deal with it."

"Right."

"Dear Luon, I fight with Eina... that's all you need, isn't it?

"Yeah. But I'm not quitting being a squire, am I?

To inquire, Sophia nodded deeply.

"Absolutely."

"It's just a hassle to explain those circumstances to the knights. Looks like he's treated as a pretty important person from talking to King Canaan... but I'm going to act alone in the future"

"Do you want to head to the end of the west to get sword material?

"We need to find out the course of the Southern invasion, so that's still a long way to go... plus I guess we'll do it after dealing with the magic of the Demon King"

"Really? Don't push it."

"Thanks"

In thanksgiving, Sophia replies "naturally" and returns her heel.

"If you hear from Sylvie and the others, let me know too"

"Of course."

She walks out of the room. While I still observe the castle, I think about the next time.

Destroying four of the five demons begins an attack from the south. But all of a sudden, it won't mean the demons attack us in a few days. Goodies had metamagic formations and such, but that was only an experiment. The demons should march more than they can make a massive transfer to the demons.

If so, there will be more or less time... in the meantime, the Garcs will make magic measures perfect. And I... what to do.

"Speaking of what you left behind, is that the creation of the Spirit? And I had to find the artifact."

But I can't do this on my own... I almost opened my mouth trying to ask Garc - then,

"... ah"

The door to the castle opened. From inside, Sylvie and the others show up.

It seems the battle is over... Then Silvi made a call to the demon.

There is naturally also the appearance of Fili and the others on the spot. Did making a call in that circumstance mean I told you the circumstances?

Manipulate the demon and approach her. And

"- Luon, this one's somehow cleaned up. What about you?"

Silvi's voice sounded.

"This one's over,"

"Right. The light that came out of the demon tribe converged on Fili... but in the process, something strange happened"

Strange things? As this one tilts her neck, she speaks even more.

"Explain. We'll talk about this when things settle down."
