The Branded Female Fencer
War and Peace, Part 489 - Abandoned Ruins
"... Hmm, that's still weird"
"Sir? What's the matter with you?
"Maria, don't you think you're crazy?
"What?
"You know it was Arnelia who brought Levantine deep underground into this ruin, right?
"Yeah, that's how the Archbishop Anorn explained it, too. He said he's using this ruin in part as a prison for sinners and such."
"Then why didn't you realize Ucco existed? There is no indication that magic is used in the ruins themselves. No, the junction, which would belong to Arnelia, is used, but other signs of magic don't even feel fine dust.
In other words, abandoned defenseless ruins. How could Ucco have been dormant, despite that, something he didn't realize? Anoln predicted that he could show you almost exactly as mapped, up to where Ucco would show up. Then why didn't you know Ucco existed?
"It's..."
The question of puritanical leisure is particularly so. Bradymaria had also lost sight of her anger at Sorca and the threat to Ucco, but it was considered a strange story that Arnelia didn't seem to care so much about the threat at her feet against her opponent.
Bradymaria also spoke up so that Rafferty, who would guide her, would not ask her.
"Possible possibilities are that you didn't really realize that someone was covering it up?
"... one more thing I can't think of. Someone brought it in."
"Did you bring it in? Who said I could do that?
Bradymaria's voice nearly got louder, so Puritanical White Fun hurriedly blocks its mouth.
"It's only a matter of possibility - isn't it strange that the battle between the former demon and the ancient dragon and the demon beast broke into it in the first place?
"Nah - why would you think that?
"Where on earth was there such a warcraft as to stop the battle between the Demon Man and the True Dragon? I know that there are still warcraft with paranormal powers. But no matter how strong you are, you can't deal with a bunch of demons.
Ucco and the Acqua Warcraft - no one knows where it came from?
"It's..."
Or maybe someone knew. But Brady Maria never cared about it. The idea didn't take shape. It just moved when my mouth was full, and I couldn't utter any words. At the same time I feel sorry for Brady Maria, who still finds it interesting to have puritanical leisure that brings her to that point of view.
"Sir - I can still think of something interesting for you"
"It's normal, though?
"No, no - so humans are funny. Why don't you ask the Orange Bull if it's a potato? Even if the concubine can't ask, do you still have the means to contact the Orange Bull?
"Actually, I've already done it - I've done it, but I can't reach you"
Purity White Fun whispered to Bradymaria with her voice even lower. To the words, Bradymaria also looks suspicious.
"You think I can't reach you? Has that ever happened to you?
"We contacted each other several times, but the time difference was such that there was some reaction. But it's like I'm not responding. I've never seen anything like this before."
"Are you being obstructed in any way?
"No, I can get in touch with the others. Not even the Orin Pass. When that happens, an easy possibility to think about is that something happened to the Orange Bull. I can't afford to get in touch with this one, you know."
"Something - I wonder what it is"
I don't know.
Without knowing, for example, that there was an Orange Bull inside the same ruins, they were on a dark path along Arnelia's guide.
And similarly, a group of Stervese walking next door were secretly talking about the same topic.
