Lesson 15: Bouquets of Flowers for Thieves * 7

"Ah, thank you, I'm interrupting..."

I tried to say hello. For the time being, I don't know what kind of person the other person is... no, I don't know what a snake is. First of all, I thought I'd say hello...

... the next moment, the great serpent rushed toward me with his mouth open!

"Go! Go!"

Got it!

While Laocles stops the Serpent with his shield, Faye and I return in a hurry along the original path. This narrow aisle won't satisfy Laocres with us.

Then I stepped back a little... and Faye and I each sent out a summoning beast.

Nice to meet you!

"Please!"

Our Summon Monsters roared in response and charged toward the Great Serpent.

In particular, Faye's Fire Spirit caught the eye of a great snake. The dazzling fire spirit in the dark underground passage, it was bright and dazzling, dazzling the eyes of the great serpent.

There it is!

Looking at the gap, Laocres waved his sword. His sword dived under the scales of the Great Serpent... and cut off the flesh of the Great Serpent.

The injured serpent seemed to be frightened by the stones. Staring at us, he retreated slowly and forcelessly.

"... um..."

Then, thinking that I'm okay now, I'll gently put my face out from behind Lao Cres.

"Spirit of the Gringal Forest, is that you? Excuse me, I am the spirit of the Red Gard forest."

When I said hello, the great serpent slowly stared at me...... and slowly drew his head towards me. I can see that Laocres is nervous all at once. However, the color of vigilance could be seen in the great serpent, but it wasn't hostility.

And most of all... this big serpent smells like [your peers]! Yeah, this is it! I'm sure it's a sign from the depths of the forest! Why didn't you know?

Nervously, I gently reach out to the head of the great snake.... then, the great serpent sniffed the smell of my palm, and...

"Hiya"

The great serpent licked my palm.... it looks like they're not coming anymore.

Then, the big serpent, who had grown up to be a liar, guided us into the back room.

Behind the underground passage was the picturesque [Mage's Room]. There are lots of bookshelves, a magic formation painted with chalk on the stone floor, a lot of bottles of chemicals on a simple wooden desk, and lots of things hanging from the ceiling that I don't really know, such as bird's wings, dry grass, and dry flowers.

It's a great place, and I'm happy. It's a different world. I want you to sketch it because it's a corner.

"... oh, I'm so drunk here... I'm so drunk..."

And Faye was intoxicated by magic. Apparently, that's where we are.

Yes, the Wind Essence.

"Oh, thank you... after all, this one works against magic intoxication."

On Faye's head, I put the Wind Essence on it, and the Wind Essence sucked in the magic energy from Faye and was full of energy. Faye was full of energy with the right amount of magic power. I think it's called Win-Win.

"Nevertheless... this is amazing." Is this the mage's room? "

Gently, looking around, Faye let out a sigh of admiration. Then she took the book on the nearby desk and wrapped it around her, oh, and said with joy.

It smells like medicine.

"That's right. You must have been making magic pills."... well, it's great that it doesn't smell like mold or dust, even though it smells like medicine. I wonder if it's that kind of magic. "

Certainly, there is something magical here. I guess there was some magic overlapping, but... well, I left it to Faye to figure out the details.

Well, for now, I'll cure your injury.

Approaching the snake round the corner of the room, he explores the area that Laocles had just cut. Then there was definitely a bleeding wound, so I immediately asked the phoenix to come out and help me heal.

As the Phoenix's tears fell, the Great Snake's wound healed. Oh, thank goodness.

Now that I know that the injury has healed, the big serpent seemed strange, but in the meantime, he licked my cheek again. Perhaps an expression of gratitude.

"Nevertheless, why is Spirit Lord in this place?" Spirit-sama, if this is it, you won't be able to get out..... "

When I heard that while being licked by the great serpent, the great serpent chirped.... I don't understand snake language.

"Hey, Toogo, can I have a minute?"

Faye came over and said to the snake, "Thank you! Saying hello casually, he starts talking in my ear.

You know, there's some magic hanging in this room, right?

Yeah.

I can see that. [M] Nodding, Faye also nodded with a serious face...... and said.

"So, one of those magic... maybe it was the magic of the seal." When we came in here, it was solved. "

Yeah. The bird sneezed.

... but that's a funny story. After all, sealing this room is equivalent to sealing the spirits of this forest...

I look at the great snake. The great serpent's eyes are beautiful peridot green. Your thin pupils move a little, and then you start staring at me. As far as my eyes go, I feel calm and serene now.

"... you know, the gringo spirit."

I gently called out to the gentle great serpent. Like "What?", the big snake's neck moved a little, and his eyes stared at me again.

"Were you sealed here?"

That's right, yourself (Snake...?) I will ask the customer. Then... the big serpent's eyes became a little more dangerous. Apparently, it's the right answer.

"Ah, Spirit Lord, Spirit Lord." I'd like to ask you one more thing... "

Faye, who was watching the interaction between me and the great serpent next to her, seemed to think that she was also talking to the great serpent while raising her hand a bit...

"...... Was it the mage who sealed you here?"

Yes, I asked. Then, the great serpent narrowed his eyes in disgust... and moved his tail up and down once.

Apparently, it's 'Yes'.

After that, I also exchanged with the great serpent. The Great Serpent replied either by waving his tail up and down, or by waving it left and right, or by dropping it down again. I mean, I don't know if it's Yes and NO, but I'm going to vote for three.

... what I easily learned from that was that this great serpent was the spirit of this forest, but it was sealed in the basement of this house by the hand of a mage for a long time.

By the way, the serpent, which is the crest of the mage's house, seems to be an indication of the spirit of this forest... that is, the mage's intention to seal the symbol of his house under his own house... I wonder what his intentions were.

Sheng Jie. The magic that seals the spirits is in this room.

"Looks like it." Certainly, when I entered this house, I felt somewhat sleepy, but it may have affected me. "

When I answered, Lao Cres nodded, "It's so mature... it was like I was thinking about something, so I looked into his face for a second, and Lao Cres said with a very serious face.

”... I thought it was just the right magic to put you to bed”

... stop it.

"Nevertheless, Mage, ahh... it's strange." That's how the Mage's house fell, and that's why the sealed jewel went to Croat via the Gringotte lord? But does that mean that the mage himself is alive? "

"I don't know. Considering that the seal was blown away by the bird's sneezing, I think it was already dead and only the seal was left..."

"... it's possible that that bird's sneezing exerted tremendous power." It's no wonder the Mage was alive. "

... well, it's that bird. That sneeze was not a great sneeze. Because it's that bird. Because it's that bird!

"By the way, Spirit of the Gringals." Were there any sealed gems around here? We're looking for that... "

And then, listen to what's important. If it had been sealed here for a long time, I might know about this house, and since it is the spirit of the forest, you probably know about this forest.

... and I asked, expecting it.

The Great Serpent's body was crawling on the floor. When I thought, "Oh," the great serpent moved towards the corner of the room... and...

Along the way, the body of the great serpent stretches to the floor as if it was exhausted. The great serpent himself is trying hard to put his strength into his body...

... I can't believe it.

Um, perhaps you're weak, Spirit Lord?

When I asked, the serpent's tail swayed up and down without strength.

In a great hurry, we prepared rice. [M] That's right. If it had been sealed all along, I should have been hungry!

... so I offered the sandwich I had brought for lunch. The mouth of the great serpent is open and puffy. I ate the sandwich out of my hand. [M]

The snake meal landscape is really swallowed up. I can see that my throat is moving and the swelling of the sandwich is moving towards my stomach.

Would you like more?

But the great serpent waved his tail to the side without strength.... I don't think one sandwich will fill your stomach, but is that okay?

At the very least, I poured water out of the water bottle and recommended it, and you also licked it and closed your eyes as if "I'm already satisfied".

"No, wait..."

"... could it be that you lacked magic power?"

When I asked, my tail pretended to sway up and down. I see. That's right. When it comes to spirits, I know that magic is more important than a normal meal... Look, every time I run out of magic power, I get eaten as a spirit on a crystal island...

Well then, I'll share a little of my magic power with you.

But it's okay. We can do first aid. I already know how to divide magic power.

I sat beside the head of the great serpent, leaning my body against the head of the great serpent... and just kissing. Like you're doing to Rene.

... and then...

"You're feeling better..."

The great snake is getting completely energetic and trying to hug me into the melon.... a dragon, a great serpent, a long creature that likes to wrap around me.

... and more.

"I've got feathers..."

There were wings growing on the back of the great serpent.

... erm, maybe it wasn't a giant snake, but a dragon?
