"Cat ears. You don't have a boy..."
"Oh, that's crazy"
We stopped the "Grand Turtle" in a horse parking lot outside the port town of Popolato, and we decided to look around.
In the immediate vicinity there is also a boat yard, docked by ships of all sizes and sizes.
As soon as I arrived in town, Lu ran over crying... I was expecting something to happen, and I was dressed for a little shoulder watermark.
"Try to find some more"
"Sheik Kam. I will look magically for you too..."
When Manuferno said so, he grabbed my arm and closed his eyes.
"Auxiliary. Because I'm afraid to close my eyes here"
"Ooh..."
I guess meditation in crowded places is anxious. I decided to wait for the end of Manuferno's spell chant while I lit up a little.
I look at the silver hair and sides of a monk in meditation blurry and sort out what's to come.
Looking for the horse Lulu himself or Ergonote and the others rode.
Because there is a good chance that the Brave Horse - the White King (Whiteia) is connected here. The White King of the Brave Ergonote (Whiteia) is pure white and very beautiful, and the stately figure of a forged and prestigious figure stands out from the rest of the horses.
It should be quite noticeable because it boasts a body that is only famous for being a horse, a super-large warcraft.
Besides being a horse but smart to the crowd and never listening to anything but ergonotes. I don't like it when Faria and I just touch it, and I don't have to listen to strangers.
I hear that when Israel was attacked and destroyed by the Demon King's Army, it was the White King (Whiteia), a beloved horse who fled the country to flee a dying, seriously wounded young ergonote.
But other than ergonotes, I don't hate touching only Luroni. Perhaps it's because he's drawing the blood of a cat beast man, but if Lu is in a state where he can make a normal decision, he should come up with the best idea of waiting beside a brave horse.
The stable where we are was planted with many evergreen trees combined with windscreen and sunset, and there were many carriages and horses connected around the trees.
If you look closely, not only horses, but also animals like buffaloes and robas, which are used for transport, are connected.
There seems to be no leak in the examples of these places, and they are being turned back by those who load seafood into carriages and those who bring down fish and goods from ships. Many of them sell on the street, and occasionally anger flies, making it a unique, rather lively place in the harbour town.
At first glance it doesn't look like the wind "the remnants of the Demon King's Army are in trouble due to the raid"......
And I heard good footsteps.
"Guru, I don't see your master's white horse or Mr. Lu."
"I wasn't even here."
You looked around the harbor and the stables, and when you heard about Iola and Riola, I, uh? and twist his neck. The twin brothers and sisters split up the harbor pier and the place where the horses were connected. Haha my breath is just rough.
The yellow flavor begins to shine and the afternoon sun leaks, illuminating their chestnut hair.
"Thank you both. I need some time to think about the operation. Just rest with the prams."
"Ah," "Yes."
Plum and Hemperoza were waiting for the carriage. Iola and Riola nodded and started walking towards the carriage, asking around.
and looked back as Riola remembered,
"Sage, it may not matter, but the price of fish is very high."
"Rio, it doesn't matter"
Iola laughs with her nose to block her sister's words.
"No... not really."
"Huh?"
Iola looks surprised.
"Riola, I overlooked it there, too. What a boulder to notice the price. Housewife... no, Lord of my sage's party."
Kamadonushi, is a proverb in this country that means like the Mistress of the Firm, who manages the house, well, one compliment.
"Ah...... yes. And... I saw the disputing merchant and the hunter."
"Ah! Then I saw it too. 'What's double! Something like a fight."
"I see. Even if it looks peaceful, the market is in turmoil.... it's true that prices have soared more than they did in the last few days"
As far as stealing this town's accounting management ledger with search magic (Ggore), prices have soared to sea urchins since the raid a few days ago, which seems to have brought tremendous wealth to some wholesalers.
If the remnants of the Demon King's Army were to raid, the hunters would not be able to go out to sea. If we can't get the boat out, we can't get the fish, and as a result, the balance between demand and the supply side is out of balance, resulting in high prices.
- The structure whereby the needy and the rich are born in confusion is the same everywhere in the world.
I don't know why Echikaya and the evil deputy are playing games in the back, but something is still going on.
"Riola, Iola. I knew it would help if you guys stayed together. I was distracted by horses and cats."
I joked and said, Riola smiled limply and headed for the carriage in a light foothold.
If you do clear your ears, get the ship out, the warehouse is empty, it's expensive! And I hear such dissatisfaction. After all, the raids by the remnants of the army are tormenting this town like a body blow.
But while I look around, I wonder what's going on.
Not only do the ergonotes not see the key ru, but they also find it more difficult to find people.
Whatever, keep Iola and the others running, I wasn't playing either.
The detection range of the enemy junction (circle) was extended to the maximum diameter, and roughly half of the town was scanned (scanned), but no ruh-like reaction could be detected.
Because of the specialty of MagiWire, it is not possible to examine the inside of the building, so it is only tentative confirmation.
"Sage Grecas, why don't you go to the Lords' Palace?
"Metius...... Yeah, that might be wise."
Gently in his ear, Fairy Metius whispered. He was sitting inside the collar neck of a sage robe, following my words about not being too conspicuous.
It sounds like a former royal opinion to go to the public hall. You won't get a clue if you're wandering around town like this.
It was the Lord of Popolato, the port town, who asked King Metanostadt's government to rescue him in the first place, saying he was "being attacked by the remnants of the Demon King".
These towns often have "powerful people" such as village chiefs and landowners, who have served their respective regions more than in ancient times, with titles such as "Count" and "Baron" in the form of incorporation into the Kingdom of Metanostadt, ruling the territory on the commission of the King's Government.
"Agreed. I cannot find it in my power. But in the heart of town... I feel magic whispering across the street"
Manuferno, who had been meditating with his eyes closed from earlier, opened his mouth. I was trying to concentrate my spirit and feel the signs of Lu, but the results don't seem to be fragrant.
Manu grabbed my arm, obscuring words.
"Well, if that's what Manu says, it seems like a good idea to do so"
The magic of the manual, which can also be an analog version of the Enemy Conclave (Circle), is as vague as finding an object in fortune. Sometimes, however, it can bring unexpected gains.
My strategy, for example, is that enemy junctions (circles) and magic threads (magiwires) don't work if you want to "find the silver key that's falling". Because my strategy is to detect enemy magic fluctuations as vibrations of magic threads (magiwires), analyze spatial information such as enemy types, strengths, and movement speeds, and display the results in the form of tactical information displays (tactics).
In this regard, the blessing (fest) of the manuferno is advantageous in its various applications. If you chant "Blessings" about "Looking for the Silver Key that's Falling," it's a vague and vague form of "Maybe Right" and "Maybe Close," but it's steadily approaching.
That's a dowsing or "nasty" extension that's been passed down for a long time, but it's not insulting.
"Departure. So do you want to go"
"Ugh, the arm... you keep grabbing it?
"Clutter. It's easy to fall"
Manu fixes his glasses with his fingertips without changing his expression in particular while still soaking his face.
Walking underneath is also a sage, no, as a man I think...
"Oh... right, yeah"
"Sage Grecas? Your ears are red, right?
"Huh!? Métius... you don't have to tell me."
"Oh?"
Ho, and Metius the fairy who pleasantly hides her mouth in a small palm.
Sometimes I don't dare notice, but something called fairy pranks is troublesome.
◇
About a half an hour later, we were taken to the guest room of the local lord's office in the town centre, the so-called Lords' Palace.
I don't see any particular change in the public house, and the clerks who do the affairs lightly seem to be busy organizing the paperwork. While I feel somewhere out of place, I meet Lord Toplyham, the lord of the port town of Popolato, only after two or three words of clerical conversation.
He is a middle-aged gentleman with a black silk hat, a Via barrel-like shape, a well-widened Nico and a narrowed face.
"Lord Toplyham, I am delighted that you have responded to your busy turnaround and sudden glance."
I would weigh my courtesies and bow deeply if I were a wise man.
- Hmm?
While I was thanking you, I was feeling a clear "discomfort".
