Episode 15: Hello from the bottom of the earth * 1

... and at night.

Well then, I'll go.

"Welcome, Corn, be careful."

"Be careful, really.After all, I'm going to beat up the enemy..... "

"It's not a beating, it's a discussion, but...."

We were to leave.

We're heading for Goldar territory. The members on their way...

Alright! Now, let's go, Spirit!

Me. And then with Claire...

"This time, is Claire riding this guy?"

"Oh yeah, butterfly wings stand out... bird. May I?"

... with Laocles and the birds.

The bird says, "Here we go!" and jiang-jiang-jing.And then, full of motivation, the feathers are upside down, more rounded than usual. It is fluffy when I touch it.

Three of us and one of us.This member is interrupting a mine in Golda territory.

... spirits, I wonder if they are here. I wish I were here.

This operation is as simple as it sounds.

Enter the mine. If there are spirits in the mine, I will ask for your help.If we weren't here... then we would have managed to poison ourselves.

Laocles is the guide. Laocles is the one who knows the geography of the Gorda territory best.

... I had a plan to have other forest knights accompany me, but if we were found, Laocles would be the only one in the woods who had seen his face so he wouldn't know that there were other knights in the woods who worked in Golda.

Then, Mr. Crowe chose a path that no one would ever find out about her as a spy.In light of Laocles' knowledge, I wonder.

... and me and the bird are the negotiators.I also had a souvenir. Handmade souvenirs are the fruits of the dragon lake.I wrapped it in light green silk dyed by Lila and brought it along with a few sweets from the fairy confectionery store.

"Dear Spirit of the Mine, will you please me..."

"Well... it's unlikely that the Spirit is in human form.As far as the atlas and this bird are concerned. "

I wonder if we can have a conversation in the first place, the spirits over there...

There are a lot of anxiety, but we have to move on.I ride two in Alicorn with Laocles, and Mr. Crowe flies like he can be buried in a bird.

The destination is Gorda territory. It's my first place to go, but... what kind of place?

Flying under the night sky makes you fall asleep gradually.On the way, Laocles said, "You can sleep now." So I was sweet to your words, and I had to lie down.

At this time, it's a little easier because you can support me when I'm riding two people.... I'm sorry that Laocles is supporting me for so long.

So, when you wake up, and then a little bit later...

"... woah"

Oh, you're seeing it.

In the light of the morning sun, which began to arrive slightly, you can see the golden city shining.

Even with a faint light, the city is shining brightly enough... wow!It's decorated with gold!

"I heard the Golden Land is famous for its gold work, but I didn't think the town was decorated like this."

"Well, it's actually decorated with gold in the Lord's Mansion and part of the city.Well, when I was there, there was money on the square tiles. "

I don't know, but it's amazing. I want to take a closer look.

... but...

"Hurry up and get out. Even though it is unknown, it is not necessarily the absence of a person.I want to get out of here. "

"I see. Roger that. Bird-san, please hurry up a bit."

Well, I don't have time to take a slow look at the town this time, and if anything, I won't be found by the people in the town... next time I go sightseeing.

Slightly out of town, flying straight... as I continued, I saw a big mountain ahead.

There it is.

"Well done... I wonder if it would be appropriate to go around from the back."

"Sure, there's a tunnel in the back.There's a good chance they'll be watching me.... "

Laocles and Crowe are talking for a moment and charting a course.

As far as I can see, there won't be many guards, even if they were there.So, if you go in from the back, I think it's okay first, but...

In the meantime, we landed on the back of the mountain.It is also a distance from Laocles' "behind the tunnel", so there are no human eyes.I just landed in a depressed position on the mountain, so I don't think we're seeing any landing.

Shall we scout from here?

And soon, Mr. Crowe suggested that as if he were a detective.

"... the only area you can see from the outside isn't the sentinel area.You could run into them as soon as you get into the tunnel. "

"Well, that's right..... Hmm, then I'll just go out in the middle of a match?"

"Whether you're going to pass out or sprinkle it..."

Claire and Laocles quickly showed us what was going on inside.

... but...

Somehow... you're feeling restless.

It's rude of me to come to another house and trespass through the back door, because I thought of all sorts of things...

"Um, I'm sorry, I'm the Spirit of the Red Gard Forest.Are you at home, Spirit of Mount Golda? "

I tried to speak up.

... Laocles and Claire are looking at me with an unspeakable face.No, I'm glad you didn't look at me like that!

If they were spirits, they would have heard the voices of those in the mountains, and if they heard them, they might have done something...Look, just in case, I'm in the same profession, and there are birds...

"... well, it's important to say hello."

"That's right...."

Now I'm going to look at you with a little inspiring smile!Am I doing something so weird!?

... so I was being treated unfairly.

Of course, something fell.Looks like a small stone shard is falling apart.

When I looked up thinking of that...

"... oh"

"This is...."

... over our heads, on the corner of the mountain slope, a bit of a cave was seen, with the rock rolling down to the side and rolling off, and in the back.

Say hello and you were right!

Apparently there are spirits in this mountain.I kind of got well. [M]Having thought about it carefully, I've never met a colleague elsewhere. Looking forward to it.

"I didn't know this way... no, I didn't mean to stay so long in this mountain with you..."

Laocles doesn't seem to know this way either.Raise the lamp and light up the road as you proceed carefully.

"... speaking of which, I was curious, but you knew this mountain well.Were you guarding the mountains as a knight? "

"No... ever since I became a criminal slave, I've been using it to mine mines.I couldn't measure how other workers treated me, and it was too clumsy, so I was sold to the city right away. "

Ah, oh, that's right... The more I hear about Laocles' work history, the more I'm going to miss it.

"Looks like this road is going down."

Yeah, it's like a spiral staircase.

After walking for a while, I think we got down a lot.

In the dark, the surrounding area is full of rock walls, so the sense of direction has already vanished, but I think that maybe, overall, it's going down.

"... maybe there really is a spirit-sama?"

"I think so."

When I called, he showed me the way. [M]We have not met anyone on this path so far.

So... I'm sure the spirits of this mountain are inviting us.

"Ah, the bird is grabbing me again!I thought it was reasonable and quiet! "

"Would you shrink a little bit?"

"... I can't help it. I'm pulling it a little."

... I'm sorry, spirits of the mountain.Even though you invited me, my bird... my bird... my bird... prepared me for a special road.

On the way, I pulled the bird about four or five times, and I did it supong.If you're a big, round bird, you grab a narrow path and get stuck.But if you pull it, it will pass through, so I think this bird's feathers are adding a lot.

"I've come down a lot....."

"Hmm, at least I don't think there's poison ahead.Maybe the people of Golda don't even know this way.... "

I thought it might be time for an end, but as we were walking...

There was a crackling sound.

The sound of dead leaves dancing.Then, the sound of the wind coming from a light thing.

I wonder what that sounds like... when you move forward, worrying about the front.

All of a sudden, he went into a large space.

Slightly high ceilings. A room large enough for birds to fly around.And the walls are sparkling with sparkling gemstone crystals, and the room is blurry and bright.

... in the middle of that big room.

There was a big, blurry flower, and a white moth was flying around it.

... I intuitively understood that this flower is a spirit.
