The Branded Female Fencer
War and Peace, Part 27 - The Trial of Instructors ⑤ -
Are you awake?
When Alphilis woke up, it was on the bed in the original room. If you look around and check the numbers, apparently they're all safe. It was Rhine who spoke, but Earthgal sat ahead of Rhine pointing at him with his jaw. Maia and Victoria watched him without alarm, but Earthgal quietly closed his eyes and just sat there, as if to show no hostility.
And Earthgal, sitting with a strange face, slowly began to talk.
"Trials have been made. Your wish is to help Fostina there safely. Is that all right with you?
"... right"
Alphilis replied carefully. I remember in the middle of a trial, but I don't naturally remember from the middle of it. As far as Earthgal's attitude was concerned, it was obvious that he had won the bet, but in his head the shadow was screaming kinky. I'm freaking out about what I would have done if I was dead over there, taking you on the road to myself. I don't know how I got into that kind of behavior myself, but that's all I decided then.
No, there may have been some other means. But my gut tells me this is the best way to do it. It's a relief to think about now, but I had no regrets.
Maia spoke to Earthgal as if she were frightened.
"I meant to know your character, but I didn't expect you to bewitch me without hesitation either. I can't even tell you what it is."
"Let's apologize for the disrespect, Lord Maia. But my words and deeds in the kingdom were also true and necessary.
You know that the magic of mental manipulation is impossible to overlap, right? How can you say that you are not in the hands of Oranzeble?
Maia was upset by Earthgal's words.
"I'd say no way..."
"Orangeables is a man also known as the opening of sorcery. Especially when it comes to mental manipulation and the operation of the stars. I am familiar with dialogue with the Spirit, illusions, space travel, etc., but not so much when it comes to mental manipulation. Some sorcery has also been learned by reading Orangeable's created book of magic.
Still, you can do enough to disarm Orangeable's mental manipulation, but when it's manipulated in front of you, it doesn't have the power to do it to me. Assuming you were manipulated directly by the Oranzeble, you could be a handkerchief to wipe out the Alphilis and the others in an instant. I needed to get rid of the threat you posed. To do so, it needed to be captured once and for all in my kingdom.
And another thing. If you are intolerant of my shaking degree, you will not be able to resist the magic of the Orange Bull for a moment. Even a powerful man as powerful as the black magicians can't resist magic. You should know you're dealing with it. "
"... is psycho-manipulative witchcraft possible to counter?
Earthgal nodded at Victoria's question.
"Ruri. Complete resistance will be difficult, but on the contrary it is very difficult to manipulate opponents with complex spiritual structures, like humans. Orangeables seem to be completely brainwashed and even memory manipulated, unnoticed by the person. You should exercise a pretty complicated technique for this. I believe that it is only if it is possible to resist as long as it is prepared.
In fact, resistance could also be a matter of a few seconds. But even in those seconds, fate can change. The face here, like Alphilis, is the core power of the mercenary corps, right? It's very important that you don't get manipulated by Orangeables. "
"I see why and why of the abrupt trials. So here's the question. Is there any way to get Fostina out of here safely?
I can see that Fostina gets harder on the key Alphilis questions. After a glimpse of the situation, Earthgal nodded clearly.
"Yes. In conclusion, it is possible to keep both mother and child alive. and thinks it should be kept alive rather than"
"What do you mean, we should let him live?
"It was only with the advice of Me Chatless that I could have acted so quickly. If it's also the brave Fostina, do you know her name?
"Yeah, you're the owner of the Futuristic Eye that died first. I've heard he's also one of the ancestors of a clan on the other bank. I've never seen him before."
Earlgal snorted in affirmation silently.
"I left behind a prophecy about you and your child. 'If you're worried about letting him live or kill him, think about it all in the direction of letting him live'. He was a person who wouldn't give me a prophecy when it came to me, but he made only one point about it. I don't know how important it was, but I think I'm referring to you."
"Everything should be kept alive..."
While Fostina was pondering the meaning of the word, Alphilis asked the question.
"But how do you do that? Even Ancient Dragons and True Dragons are good for you?
"They are never omnipotent beings. If human beings are to be involved, the most familiar should be human beings.
I'll need the help of the Dark Witch first. Less well known, the Dark Witch is also the most brilliant midwife. Some of that knowledge is still handed down to some doctors, but we need her help if it's to be an interracial birth. "
"Wouldn't that be impossible? Don't you know that the coven of witches was attacked by a black sorcerer? The Dark Witch is missing."
To the alphilis of troubled faces, Earthgal put out his fingers and blocked the words.
"But no body has been found. Of course I can't deny the possibility that he's alive and imprisoned in the Demon King's workshop, but then I can find him. Besides, if the Dark Witch is dead, the Spirit makes noise rather than interrogation. I think someone took me away."
Lana noticed the words all the time.
"I mean, where the Spirit can't come close, right? Who is that?
"Probably Spears' four sisters. Their sanctuary is a place where humans abhor the proximity of warcraft, creatures, insects, and even spirits. There is no reason for the Dark Witch not to ask for help, and for the Black Mage to give up pursuing again. He's a monster who once could not be punished for raising the total power of humans and demons."
It was the name of the Great Demon King I've heard of, but Alphilis doesn't know the details either. I thought he was the Great Demon King because he would lead a large number of demons.
"And demons? No demons under your command?
"You don't know? The Spears' four sisters are all equally subject to hunting except for themselves. Not only the people who feared them, but even the demons joined hands to hunt them down, but they couldn't finish. As a result, you know you were given the land you are now and hit your hand.
The only reason they're quiet now is because their oldest daughter is asleep. If you attack, you will wake up. Everyone thinks the same thing about not having to bother waking up what's asleep.
Maybe it's hard for him to control the fact that he didn't even use Orangeables. "
"You think there's a dark witch imprisoned in that place? Then we must first reveal that we are alive."
Groundgal nodded at Larna's words.
"You should ask Arnelia for that. It was Arnelia who conducted the last negotiations with the Spears' four sisters. They should also be the most familiar with the area.
And one more thing, I have the magic I need. "
"Magic?"
"This is it."
I threw up a cup with tea in it when Groundgal looked like it. But when it falls, it suddenly slows down. Before the Alphilis, who seemed to think something was going on, Earthgal took the cup and took all the tea in the air in a cup and put it on the table as usual.
In a daze, only Alphilis realized who the magic was.
