Sword of the Philosopher

When crusading demons, according to the rules of the banquet, we must first respond so that we can hunt the best demons. Now that we have crusaded the demons of the lower levels, if we encounter powerful enemies, angel tools - badges will emit a red warning light. They don't get a martial arts medal when this happens, so we need to break the situation first.

So all the way to the place where the demon nest is... the port town we were in is on the south side of the continent, so we're even going north.

"If you can rendezvous with Eina, maybe you can listen to a lot of things."

Sophia says on the road. Mm, sure.

"I mean, it said Eina was an invited knight or something... does she want to get angel weapons too?

"What do you think? It's an invitation, but there's a good chance that Eina herself volunteered to participate."

Oh, sure. Maybe Sophia's claim is close to the truth.

"Do you want to gather information in town and consider what to do... if you're a participant, some people know about Eina with her name on the bulletin board"

However, there is a need to worry about something else in this case. After the battle with the Demon King, he left the castle without saying anything to Eina...

"Eina won't know we're here."

Looking at my face, Sophia talks.

"But if you're going to be in the top 100, you're going to inevitably be in Eina's eye."

... the more we get on the bulletin board, the more we will inevitably meet.

So we decided not to think about it, and we left the harbor for a while... eventually we arrived in a town that existed on a large trading route.

His name is Laratana. Various traded goods are transported from the harbor and this place is also a lot busier.

"Now, northwest of this town, there is a great nest of demons"

I tell Sophia and the others, remembering the map of the continent.

"Well, we need to continue our journey further from this town... but once we get in there, it's finally the real deal"

How far can you increase your medals in a single quest by fulfilling them... it's a lot different from the people at the top of the status quo. Depending on the extent to which you can catch up, you need to figure out how to do the battle from now on.

We reach the square with the bulletin board. Looks like I checked my ranking but haven't been updated yet.

"We're leaving tomorrow, so let's stay here today."

"Then I'll find you."

Richard raises his hand and leaves as soon as possible. In the meantime, we'll go to the banquet liaison office once to see if there's any new information.

"So far, there are no problems, etc."

That's what the lady at the reception told me, to get out of the building.

"Should we exchange information or something with adventurers?"

Put your hand on your mouth and Sophia starts thinking.

"We only know where we're going on the map."

"... we're after a superior demon. I don't think the adventurers around us know what it is."

Unless you can talk to someone at the top... but, well, we're just rookie participants. Even if those people are in front of us, I don't know if they'll talk to us.

"I don't even know what's going on with the demon nest until I get there and make sure."

To conclude so, Sophia nodded small.

Eventually we'll wait until Richard gets back... then,

"Dear Luon, it's been a long time since you've traveled slowly like this"

"... after the battle with the Demon King, it felt like we were touring the ruins."

"Yes, I hope nothing happens"

"No, I'm sad you can't be sure."

Sophia turns her neck with that word.

"Do you have any idea?

"No, there's nothing you can think of. I just imagined in my head that it would be a hassle."

I can't help thinking about this anyway.

Eventually Richard returns and receives a report that he has taken an inn. We decided to head to the inn as soon as possible.

We'll spend the night in town that day and we'll talk at the breakfast table the next day. There are many adventurers like us around, and I could somehow imagine going to the same demonic nest.

"Looks like everyone's at the banquet."

I snort small at Sophia's mention.

"Well, that sounds like a good idea."

I don't know as much as I can... maybe even the top 100 people.

"As for fighting demons, just like before?

To Sophia's inquiry, I often thought,

"First of all, right... I think it would be best for me and Sophia to step forward and have a formation called Romilda rear. So, Richard..."

"I've thought a lot about it, but let me pass this time"

Richard answered, shrugging his shoulders.

"For example, the method of using demons to find demons that are at the top of the list has also come to mind, but we have not been able to produce demons at this time. I need time to do it."

"So you're going to help me gather information?"

"And then, do we even produce dragons for mobility?

"Right. Then ask Richard to prepare for it."

I just couldn't bring the dragon I created here before... so Richard left a message this time.

"Demon's Nest... I'll be waiting for you when you get to the nearest town. There's no commotion, and mine shouldn't be a problem."

"Okay."

Decisions. We'll finish breakfast and go outside.

The adventurers are pushing in a certain direction. We're still headed for the demon's nest because we're going in the same direction.

"But that's a lot"

Seeing the adventurers walking down the street, Sophia shared her thoughts.

"In addition to those in the continent, extracontinental faces like Eina... quite a few people seem to be on this continent"

"We just didn't realize that there might have been a lot of stories in Shergia."

Just an event hosted by an angel is enough to attract many. In some cases, the adventurers will also participate if they get weapons, etc.

That, on the contrary, also means fierce competition. Defeating a powerful demon would still be a shortcut in order to get to the top like it would on a bulletin board.

I move my gaze to Romilda, who walks next to Sophia. She is keeping pace as she looks at the adventurers around her.

... you still feel a little unrelated. I hope that neighborhood dissolves a little throughout this battle.

When I left town, I went out into the streets where many people came and went. There are still many adventurers when you look at it this way.

But when so many people head to the demon nest in one go... isn't the nest a lot better? Well, as an organizer, you can crusade demons, so I think you wanted this kind of development.

Whatever it is, it's the starting line after entering the demonic nest. First we fight watching the adventurers move.

Advanced demon...... you can tell where it is by using the demon. Whether we fight or not, there will still be a red warning color and it won't add up as a medal.

Being able to defeat demons and defeat those demons a little sooner... this is your first goal.

I don't know what will happen... As anxiety and expectations crossed, we even went for the demonic nest and continued to walk with the other adventurers.
