The Branded Female Fencer
Black Witch, White Witch, Part 13 - Mountain of Fire ⑥
It was the layer that broke in while the dragonman's spear was about to strike.
"Have you forgotten about me?
"Get out of the way, kid! It's not for you!
"It doesn't have to be that way, it's over here. This man is my employer. I don't care if they kill me."
When the layer pushed the dragon man back, the dragon man took a distance once he felt he could not insult the layer's arm power. But the killing spirit remains intact, and there is no collision.
Layer turned to Alphilis for instructions.
"What shall I do, Captain? Do you want to talk to me after I bust you? Or do you want to listen to me and then bust me?
"You have no choice but to bust it?
"No, I was wondering if Nori would do that the usual time. Well, the former, right?"
Without the need for the layers to ask for instructions, the dragon man had already almost started his sorcery. In front of you is a flock of fiery beasts. Same as Alphilis' good magic.
It wasn't while I was no longer asking the layers for their opinions.
"I'll try not to kill you for now. I want you to give it a try if you have any good ideas. And the other two behind you. Nice to meet you."
"Another?
When Alphilis looked at the hill behind him, two more dragon men were looking down on the Alphilis from there. This one is not lethal, just a sharp eye to keep an eye on this one. He's not willing to take part in the fight for now.
Already Layer and the Dragon Man have fought an awesome battle. The ice sword of the layer had slashed and torn the beast of flames and was flesh-compulsive to the dragonman. The Dragon Man is starting to chant to use his next sorcery, taking his distance.
"The magic of physical strengthening is bad."
"Do you want to stop?
"Can you, Seite?
"If you have orders."
Unlike before, the Beast Man of the Crow Wolf has made his own prophecies. Nia was surprised by the change, but Alphilis shook his head.
"You don't have to listen to impossible orders, that's what I should have said. You do work for Nia, but you're also close to the diner. If that's what you want, I don't have the right to stop it.
If you say you can, do it. If you need a formal order, you can give it to me. "
"I understand. So, I think we can both control it intact now, are you sure you want to do this, Captain?
"Good, I'll allow it"
Seite broke into their battle in an instant to get permission from Alphilis, grabbing each other's arms with their weapons. The two of us weren't the only ones surprised by the early work, but only Alphilis, who had heard the story beforehand, was nodding as he confirmed Seite's prowess.
Seite's black eyes were sharply capturing Layer and the Dragonman.
Both sides, pull your weapons.
"Become -"
"... surprised, it's that fast"
Layer drew his sword quietly, but the dragonman seemed to forget that he could even put his strength on the spear as a surprise.
Dragon people approached there watching them become.
"Stop it, Pern. As a warrior, you lose."
"Brother Svalbard, I haven't lost yet! She hasn't even testified with her sword yet!
"That's right, but for whatever reason. If you suddenly cut it off, it's a place you can only call barbarian anymore, Brother Pern. Aren't you supposed to listen to me for as long as I can? It's not like Snake Dragon or Bronze Dragon guys, we are."
"Shut up Tajibo!
The dragon man, called Tajibo, showed the trick of your hand, but Perun also knew, and slowly snagged the spear. There was as much hostility in my eyes as ever, but an elderly dragon man called Svalbard stepped forward to control it.
"I showed you the embarrassment, a human guest. Are you hurt?"
"Fortunately. I see the Fire Dragons are disillusioned, but are all the Fire Dragons in this area so barbaric?
Alphilis did not hesitate to reveal his distrust, but Svalbard also calmly returned it.
"No, that's not it. But there are circumstances for us now, and I won't deny that I care. A human with small hands that emitted signs of tranquillity there suddenly appeared with a metastasis. I'm not going to defend my stupid brother, but he's not a snack on the inside with me. My sister, someone with a small hand showing signs of Rouge, showed up."
Alphilis reacted perfectly to Svalbard's words. It was something no one else could understand, but Alphilis affirmed Svalbard's statement when he exhaled heavily.
"I knew you would. So you're Rouge's family?
"The chief is my father. Even though there are not 30 individuals already. The Fire Dragon Clan of Bloom is a small settlement."
"Then I have to keep my promise to her. I'm keeping a message from Rouge."
"Wait. What are we talking about here? With my apologies, I'd like to show you to our settlement."
"Fine. I didn't trust you, not so long ago. If there's no problem, I want to finish the conversation here. We have a situation where we have to leave this land quickly."
"That's the problem, right?"
A dragon man like his youngest brother, who was said to be Tajibo, unfortunately came pinching his mouth. As far as his blockage is concerned, there does seem to be some kind of circumstance.
Svall harshly blamed Tajibo.
"Tajibo! You shut the fuck up"
"No, no, I won't shut up. At a time when the Four clans parted and contested, a human appeared who smelled like his missing sister - don't you think this augurs well? I'll be honest with you and tell you what's going on, and if you can help me, you should."
You're asking me to rely on humans.
"Brother Svalbard is also stiff, already. You don't have to rely on it unilaterally. Deals will be made and negotiated, and there will be a way to do everything. It's a hassle. I already told you, didn't I?
You humans, we're in terrible trouble right now. When I say how troubled I am, I am as troubled as the crisis of clan survival. To be honest, it's as much as I'd like to borrow a human hand without a cat's. So, as long as I'm here, that's not irrelevant to you guys either. Without our help, it may be difficult to make this land safe. So we're going to help each other out here, and I'm glad you're listening at one end of the line in our settlement. Either way, it's impossible to get to the safe zone anymore from here to a day, and from what I've seen, there doesn't seem to be any food or water. What do you say? "
Tajivo's opinion was easy to understand, but he was too used to that observational eye and the way he negotiated, so on the contrary, Alphilis was wary. But most of all, it was also true that we had to listen honestly here.
The Alphilis followed the dragon men silently, but there was certainly no place where water and food could be secured, and on the contrary there were signs of contention there. Muscade also shook his head toward Alphilis, so apparently it was certain that something was happening that had to be easier.
And about two moments to be guided. Alphilis and the others were led to a shoreline with a number of horizontal holes. The horizontal hole was large, about the size of a two-story building that was likely to go in. In front of him was after the burning, and at the same time he saw a sense of life like a human being.
"Well, here we are"
"Ugh, you're tired. Can I get you something to drink?
"Fine. Can I have some tea?
"Do you have tea?
Alphilis' surprise was the best, but Tajibo gave it back.
"You know the Phoenix Chamber of Commerce, right? They also reach out to businesses like this. I'll take care of the negotiations with them. So I could imagine you guys, too, if I saw the mercenary crest. Tianxiang Mercenary Regiment, was it? Looks like you've been active lately."
"... your answer. I can't believe the dragon man knows his name."
"The Phoenix Chamber of Commerce seems to be actively promoting you, too, right? I don't know if that's your intention or the intention of the Phoenix Chamber of Commerce.
Oh, by the way, tea is simply my favorite, and I just bought it last time, so I can afford it. Or do you want it to be the juice of this land property?
"I'll take care of it."
"Then Brother Svalbard, I'll leave you to guide me to the chief. I'll be on my way when I'm ready for hospitality."
That said, Tajibo just went away. Alphilis was heartily impressed with the sharpness of Tajivo's observational eye and head rotation, but at a stage where he has yet to decide whether he is an enemy or an ally, he is not alarmed.
And Svalbard, who was pressed for guidance, had some idea, but when he sighed one, he began to guide the Alphilis and the others.
"This way, guest. Pern, stay ahead of the chief. I'm sure you already know."
"Why would I..."
"Just give me a break."
After Svalbard's harsh gaze, Perun ran to the chief. There were a number of signs in the cave along the way, but none of them admitted anything. The settlement itself was quiet as dead. So much so that the sound of Alphilis and the others walking sounds.
