Sword of the Philosopher

The castle will not collapse as the Demon King told us... we walked inside the castle where the demon disappeared and went outside.

Shortly afterwards, the knights cheer - they seem to have recognized that the demon vanished, destroying the demon king.

As Fili and the others surround themselves with the knights and have a conversation, I continue to rebel in my head the whining uttered by the Demon King, alone in the rear.

- You might be able to save everything.

"Dear Luon,"

Sophia speaks to the lid.

"The Demon King... what do you think and make such a statement?

Looks like she heard it again, too.

"I guess that's about purpose...... oh I guess that means the Demon King knew"

"Did you know? Do what?

"... about that incredible magic"

Sophia frowns. I haven't told you the details, so the reaction is natural.

"We may soon have to find out what the demon king's intentions were to invade this continent."

"Investigate, can you?

"Because that doesn't mean there isn't any. Nevertheless, let's start by examining the magic that exists on this continent"

With that word, Sophia turns her gaze like she said something. But...

"Well, it's a triumph"

I changed the story. I nodded small - I threw myself into the circle of knights who didn't cheer.

- The story of overthrowing the Demon King quickly ran across the continent. And the people were relieved after a long battle, and boiled again with joy.

I don't know if Canaan took it into account, but the fact that he liberated the continent meant that the feast was to take place. The place is the royal castle of the kingdom of Alastin. There he began the knights, starting with Balzad, and the adventurers who continued to join the front.

... its protagonists naturally Sofia and I. However, Canaan wanted to talk about me, and he called me to his room a little after the feast started.

"I'm sorry, I asked you to come all the way."

"No, it's okay"

At night, in the king's private room… the voices of the feasting people can also be heard here from the large hall on the first floor of the castle.

"I'm talking about Lord Luon. As soon as the feast was over, I thought we'd be traveling."

... They're guessing my mood.

"At this rate, the feast may last for a few days. But will Lord Luon leave tomorrow?

"Yes."

Canaan says, "Okay" to me immediately.

"So here's the question… There are a few things I'd like to ask you, but the first thing I'd like to confirm is that it concerns Sophia."

"We're discussing what to do in advance. Nevertheless, I'm sure it's not in the way King Canaan would like it to be"

"... you need to listen to a certain person about the area"

That's - when I tried to listen back, there was a knock.

"I'm just glad."

The king heads to the door. It was King Barks, Claudius, Sophia's father, who was ahead of him when he opened it.

"Lord Luon, I'm sorry you took the time."

"... you two talk to me?

"That's what I'm talking about"

Two kings confront me. I'm just a little nervous because I didn't anticipate this kind of development.

"After defeating the Demon King, I've heard a lot about it"

It was Claudius who spoke out.

"In addition to traveling around a lot, I hear you made a promise to Sophia."

"... it"

"You will talk to Sophia about this matter even after the feast is over"

On the look on the face of the king I told you about, there was a grin.

"As Lord Luon, he probably doesn't think we should put him in any more danger than the battle is over. Nevertheless, let's talk about this and show that answer tomorrow"

"Answer,? But..."

"We know in what way Lord Luon will leave the castle. I'll make sure it fits."

To Claudius's words, I nodded nothing more.

Then Canaan speaks up.

"Lord Luon, they're going to continue their journey, but sooner or later a threat like the Demon King will emerge?

"I don't know about that...... but maybe the Demon King's words are a hint"

"You might be able to save everything."

Gark appeared on his right shoulder and raised his voice.

"You two, leave Lord Luon to me."

"With the help of the Divine Spirit, you don't seem to have a problem"

Canaan says. Or in the end, will Garc follow?

"Lord Luon, keep it up."

"Okay...... that's right Garc. What about Feus or Azua?

"It's moving a lot, including my body. To settle the turmoil on this continent a little faster '

"Oh well. I won't be able to get around to you right now, please."

'Um... Speaking of which, I kept a message from Raifin. If there's anything I can do for you, I'm here to help.'

- The spirits who had a covenant with Sophia, sometimes betrayed by the magic of the Demon King, are back. It didn't feel like I would have stayed with Sofia if the contract hadn't been cancelled.

"The magic exercised by the Demon King is still tailed after the battle. It seems that some humans are even hostile to the Spirit. '

"To rectify that...... do the Garcs move?

"From here on out, how spirits and humans walk by."

"This one will do well, but it will definitely take some time"

Canaan tells me.

"At least it won't be like fighting humans and spirits..."

"If you need anything, I'll help you."

"I'm sorry, Lord Luon."

I nod at Canaan's words... Claudius also said, "Please," and the discussion that took place between the feasts ended.

- The next day.

The castle is either recoil due to the noise the day before, or everyone sleeps badly and quietly. Get ready in there and walk out the main gate of the castle.

In the meantime, there's a footstep behind me.

"Mr. Luon."

It was Richard. He was the only one who told me I was leaving in the morning.

"Don't you say hello to the others?

"If you do that, you'll be held back and you won't get out of the castle."

"Or so it is."

"... confirmation, are you sure?

Before the showdown with the Demon King, I asked him to analyze the magic. So he was supposed to accompany us.

"The hero who saved the continent asked me to help. You have no reason not to accompany me."

I laugh at his words.

"Well... then, please"

"So, where are we going now?

"I have received information from the Divine Spirits about the ruins of angels. Underground, in the mountains and all that... let's hit them one by one."

"I don't think it's going to take long to use the dragon I created."

"Oh, please"

Leaving the castle in conversation. There's...

"Dear Luon,"

Sofia stood as a matter of course.

Same equipment we had when we were traveling together. Only the sword was deposited with the Spirit Corona, so it has turned into something I had previously made in a southern town.

"... persuaded, could you?

"Your father nodded instantly."

What are you doing? I thought that guy...

"Besides, your father also cared about what Lord Luon would make..."

"That's why I didn't expect you to accompany Sophia -"

"You thought you needed the power to fight the Demon King."

I laughed unexpectedly at Sophia's words. I haven't told you the details, but do you feel deeply aware of the seriousness of the matter?

"... oh my god"

"I know, sir"

Well, it would be useless to stop it.

"Fine. Then let's go."

"Nice to meet you, Lord Luon."

"Mr. Leon and the princess...... I don't know how far you two can keep up, but I'll do my best"

"Nice to meet you, Master Luon"

We'll have a conversation and we'll walk out... with a new purpose.
