The Branded Female Fencer
of sealed, part 28 ~ Tetrapolishka ⑥ ~
"Ladies and gentlemen, this way. Watch your step on the right because it's more likely to break down."
"It's fragile, there's no such thing as philosophy."
"That's the horrible thing about the snowfield. But the spirits have a deep rift in the ground on their right, so they say we shouldn't get on top."
"The witch's guide is for you to hear. You don't have to risk your life for nothing."
Taken by Tetrapolishka, the former Alphilis guided by the closet advance through the snowfields. Since it was a guide to the closet, the line sometimes suddenly changed course or forced behavior such as stopping and spending the night, but was never in danger. Already three days after leaving the temple of Tetrapolishka. Not a single one of the Alphilis and the others now knows where they're going.
It was at first that Muscade complained about what it was, but it was already beyond the understandable area of Muscade when it came to the treatment of water and ice spirits, and discontent drew in naturally. Also, the closet itself learned from Tetrapolishka and was not much of a direction-guide while inquiring with the Spirit, but now it seemed to have gotten used to it, and even the appearance of a skilled man had already been questioned.
Tetrapolishka was impressed when she saw the walking closet with the lead.
"Big deal, are you used to it?"
"Is Closess exploring the state of the terrain while communicating with the Spirit?
Alphilis alongside Tetrapolishka asks.
"Exactly. If you're a witch, get used to it, or even a magician can do it, but in the case of a closet, the speed at which you can hear and correctly understand the voices of the elephant spirits is great. The Spirit himself has little will, he only talks. It could be the ability to approach the first ice field witch. No, or above that."
"The first Icefield witch was your friend?
"Oh, she was my friend. While I was still the Demon King, she offered to protect the mountain peoples of the North. Pilebos mountain roads aren't as well built as they are now. Each settlement was finely divided and isolated by cliffs and valleys. It was the first ice field witches who were coming and going and bridging them.
Warcraft is also much more than it is today, a time when it was very dangerous. As some settlements are attacked and destroyed by the Warcraft, she has offered us protection. "
"Even though you are the Demon King?
"Apparently, there's quite a misunderstanding about the war period. They say some black magicians are heroic kings, but you've never heard of his anecdotes? Doesn't the hero king have a record of serving the peripheral people, beasts, and even demons and warcraft?
"... Speaking of which, you might have had that description."
"Once upon a time, the boundaries of each race were more blurred."
Tetrapolishka laughed bitterly. It seemed to denounce the luxury of all human beings today and criticize them somewhere.
"My people were certainly centered on their fellow multieyed heavens, but there were also many humans and warcraft. When there weren't so many humans yet, humans and subraces were closer together. As a human being, I hated subraces because I couldn't live with them.
Human beings today may have developed a lot more civilized and intellectually than they used to, but they may have become mentally immature. Just discriminate against the beast man, not to mention the fact that the sub-people have become almost extinct in towns and villages... so long as they're sad. "
"Right, I think so, too. What humans can't do, they can do for the rest of the species. Maybe we should respect each other more."
"But only one Orange Bull of the Five Wise took action. Don't ask anyone to help you. Even the most intelligent and knowledgeable high elves were, so maybe you can't blame humans."
Tetrapolishka made him look for a place to rest when he caught up with the closet early in his steps. In time, Tetrapolishka was accompanied by Alphilis and Lisa, at the top of a small high snow hill, looking around at the surroundings. Fortunately, there is no snowstorm now and the weather is beautiful, so we can look far beyond. The world, composed only of blue and white colors, had a beauty that was simple but likely to be inhaled, although the weather did not know what would happen in a moment's time.
"Perhaps, as far as I can see, the one called the Silver World? There's nothing caught on Lisa's sensors either. There's not going to be anyone alive in the sky or on the earth."
"Even my eyesight does. Apparently, there are no enemies around. There, you can see the sea at the end of it. Let's be the northernmost part of this continent."
"Heh, you've come a long way with yourself. What's across the ocean?
"That's something I didn't know in my time working in the middle of the continent. But he that dwelt above the sea, even among the demon kings, went out into the sea. I heard you came home scattered."
"I've heard of it. Do you think there are creatures in the outer sea that are much more gigantic than continental monsters? A giant fish to mistake for an island, an organism called Kraken with a giant that has to look up like a mountain while at sea. Also at the end of the outer sea, the world is torn apart or something. Though I do not know the truth, because no one has returned alive. Do you know what Tetrapolishka is?
"I don't know the truth. I live on this continent to the best of my ability, and I couldn't get around to the outside world. But if you had time, maybe you could have gone somewhere like that. This continent is neatly narrow. Lost my place of life requires new heavens and earth, but we can no longer hope for such a place on this continent."
"Miriazal of Arnelia Church is not a narrow figure. With such imminent threats as a black sorcerer, I'm sure you won't bother to turn you against your enemies. I wonder if you'd rather be one of them and ask for help? Depending on how the story goes, you might be able to live by waving more of a major player"
"And if the black sorcerer is gone, for a reason, I'll be driven away again, I guess. Without prey, hunting dogs after prey are destined to be boiled and eaten next."
Tetrapolishka's ruthless words jammed with alphilis, so she took care of it with a little sorrow.
