For three days, we set a course for Ricole.

The march of Ingris and the others went well.

But the reason was by no means positive.

The streets and villages on the road were devastated, and there was no need to distribute food to the residents, saving them time and hassle.

Since all the settlements were empty, it was easier to secure a place to rest and as a result it was easier physically than camping.

--That means.

Tiffany's heavenly men (Highlanders) never attacked, and it was a quiet time - it seemed spicy for the Raffinians to see the ruined settlements ahead of them.

In such an atmosphere, Latty points towards the cloudy sky on the fly gear port.

"If it weren't for this weather, I'd be seeing Rick Claire from afar soon."

Due to this cloudy weather, no matter how much of it is from the top of the manicure bird (fly gear port), the view is not very good.

"I hope you get there soon - I hate it when you keep showing me what's going on in every city."

Raffinia chews her lips and firmly grips the handrail on the outer edge of the manicure bird (fly gear port).

"Lani, even if you put so much effort into it right now, you can't do it when it's time to say it.It's okay, I'm sure a lot of people are still safe in Ricole... "

Looking calmly at the damage to cities and villages on the road, it seems that the number of bodies, etc. was small compared to the scale of the damage.I mean, a lot of people were taken away, not killed.

The destination would be Ricole, who is in jail.

I don't know what they took a lot of people for, but...

If we just wind up the food, we should just take it and leave it there.

If they were taken with a purpose, people would be using it for that purpose.

So I can guess it's still safe.

"But..."

When Raffinia said something...

Zuzuzuzuzuzuzuzu ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I heard something trembling from afar.

"What's that noise...? Thunder?"

It's pretty big...

"No, it's an earthquake...? Something seemed to be shaking down there...?"

"This is the air, so it's hard to tell if it's an earthquake..."

And they say...

"No... something's happening in the direction of Ricole over there...!"

Ingress points straight in the direction of travel.

It's obviously different from the flow of natural magic elements, and now I feel a huge wave of magic elements coming from over there.

It was huge enough to feel so far away.

"Something...? What is it, Chris?"

"I don't know, but I'm sure it's nothing but..."

"... I can't believe Ingris said that."

"But I can't see anything in this weather...."

"No, wait...! The sunshine is coming!"

Latty was right, the clouds covering Ricole's direction were temporarily interrupted to show Ingris the way ahead, and...

……

"Nah, what is it...!?"

"Ah, that's the city of Richlear!?"

"Is that what you can do...!?"

"I can't believe it - this is what they wanted...!?"

In the sight of Ingris and the others - Ricclere's city was not as it should have been.No, to be precise, it wasn't in the right place.

Together with the surrounding ground, it rises out of the earth's wedges and into the sky.

It is now like a huge chain stretching to the ground that holds its huge mass together.

Must be the Floating Magic Team ―

"Isn't that what Saileen said in the city of Nova...!? If it was really activated, the city would have been open too!?"

"Yeah, but..."

In the city of Nova, the Blood Chain Brigade's hands transformed Serine into a Magic Stone Beast, and then the Black Masks destroyed the Floating Magic Faction.

If it hadn't been destroyed and activated, the same thing would have happened.

Raffinia is right about that.

However, to activate the Floating Magic Faction, you'll need a huge amount of Magic (Mana).

In that city of Nova in Saileen, it will still take some time to activate.

In her case, she didn't seem to rush it, and even if the city floated in the air in the first place, she was still trying to give the inhabitants the privilege of heavenly territory (Highland).

In contrast, the City of Richlear's "Floating Magic Faction" was activated too soon.

How did you collect all that magic?

When I think about it, I think it's better not to say anything further.

The Floating Magic Faction gathers magic elements (mana) from the people on the ground, floats the land into the air when the required amount is collected, and makes it a land of new heavenly territory (Highlands).

And while humans only live to produce magic elements (mana), the body emits the most magic elements (mana) when the body releases them - that is, when they die.

Therefore, if you want to activate the "Floating Magic Faction" in such a short period of time, the most time efficient is to gather a large number of people and kill them in the land.

That floating city of Richlear - I don't think that's how it was created.

I can hear it all the way to Raffinia's ears.
