Three days have passed since the sword obtained from the cocoon archeological site was wrapped in Nere's hair. Aldis was still in the land of Ratingen.
During that time, the sword glows faintly red and shows no change. In light of Marrieda's story and the history so far, we can expect some change. But I didn't know when the change would come.
According to Marrieda's dream, I don't know much about that. He says he doesn't dream about the scene he wants to see, but he can only guess at the unseen scene from fragmentary information.
What I know from other dreams is that I can calm down my sword with Nere's hair and that I can succeed in calming down my sword.
Of course, Aldis has no obligation to see the results. But once you've been involved, if you don't mind, you'll be lying. I guess, there is no possibility that something bad will come out.
In the end, Aldis, who had no urgent need, decided to stay in Ratingen for a while. Every day I check the sword at Litte Shokai, and I am invited to Lovell Shokai to receive Kirill and Marie, and Marie's father who is also the chairman of the Shokai. It is in a state where he has received a beast defeat request in the spare time.
Again, Aldis was hunting beasts in the meadows, just a few hours walk from Leiting. However, it is rare for Aldis who usually acts alone, with three accompanying people.
"Aldis. It's time for the sun to fall, and do you want to return to the city?"
Ted calls out to Aldis, wiping off the glue on the Bastard Sword.
"That's right. Would you like to come back if you peel these skins?"
The corpse Aldis points to the just-defeated Lactor with a broadsword.
Byakuya The Ted and the Mysterious Stars, like Aldis, still stayed in Ratingen. He seemed to have refused Zimbaril's request, but when he learned that Ardis would be staying in Leiting for a while, he seemed to have decided to just stay with him.
After about twenty minutes to quickly strip Lactor's skin off, Aldis and his colleagues returned to Ratingin. While talking about the road that runs through the plains, the most talked about is that Ted and others have turned down the request of Zimbaril.
"Well, Ted. Why did you refuse the request, even though you were on an expedition to the Union of City-States? Are the conditions good?"
Husan “The client smells like it.
Ted talks about his reasons with a disgruntled look.
"Why did you refuse?"
Rojigin Although it is not necessary to return any amount of money, he came from Tria over ten days and refused a good job. It is useless to say the least.
If the client doesn't like it, the damage may be great. Aldis tells him, but what he returned was a glance of blame.
"Do you say that?"
"Ah. Aldis, have you heard of the name of the tool 'Boomerang'?"
"I don't want Aldis to just say it."
In the past, Aldis has repeatedly rejected requests because his employer did not like it. It's no wonder Ted and his colleagues refute all at once.
"Well, hunting like this for the first time in a long time couldn't be bad. Fortunately, there's a request from Raitin to defeat him."
"The fact that there are so many subjugation requests that you can't handle is that many people are being damaged by beasts and monsters.
FOOD: "But Orphea. If we say that, aren't we, themselves who have gained a living through subjugation, themselves unscrupulous?"
"Nobody is saying that anymore! First, the reason is strange. The logic is taking off."
"Ah, did you do that?"
While walking along the road leading to Laitin, light mouths flutter in a friendly atmosphere.
"That? What?"
Suddenly Norris stopped.
"What's wrong? Did you even find a demon?"
"No, it's in the direction of Rating, but ... isn't there smoke?"
"Oh?"
Ted follows the Norris and squints by hand in sunlight.
"... I don't know. Aldis, can you see it?"
"Don't say it. I don't know at this distance."
The range of Aldis magical exploration is about 500 meters. It is useful in places with poor visibility, such as buildings and forests, but it was not suitable for detecting far away.
"If you go a little further, I think you can see it."
In Norris's words, the party went a bit faster on the road to Ratingen. Then, as you walk for a while, the appearance of Ratingin gradually becomes apparent to the Ardis and others.
"Sure ... there's sand smoke. Is it blowing even in the unseasonable whirlwind?"
The incident was caught in the eyes of Ted and others. The best-looking Norris in the group gives further information to the Aldis.
"There are so many shadows around Ratingin ... Is it a human?"
As the distance is reduced, Aldis and others begin to understand the situation. The myriad of shadows surrounding the gates of the walls, as they moved around, caused the sand to soar, and the city of Leitin appeared hazy.
"Hey, didn't you even start in the war?"
"No way ..."
Orphelia frowns with Ted frowning.
"No, that doesn't look like a human? It's a group of beasts.
“A herd of beasts?
It's no surprise that Orphelia is surprised. Usually, even if a beast forms a herd, it is dozens at most. You will never see more than a hundred swarms.
On the other hand, the shadow surrounding Ratingin is over a thousand at a glance. And even demons are mixed. There is no doubt that this is an unusual sight.
"Hey! Look at it!"
In response to Ted's voice, Aldis looks at the bushes beside the street. There were several "Glass Wolfs" sprinting through the grass.
The distance to Aldis is about fifty meters. It is close enough that it would not be unreasonable to attack a human being, which is a prey. However, Glaswolf does not look at the Aldis and runs straight into the ratings.
"What happened?"
Ted muttered simply that he couldn't understand. Grass Wolf ignores humans. Neither attack nor flee, just as if you were not in your eyes.
"What happened to Ratingin ...?"
"I don't know ... I'm in a hurry anyway."
With Ted's command, the party goes even further. As you get closer, the situation becomes increasingly apparent.
"The East Gate is impossible! Will you go to the West Gate?"
There are two east gates and two west gates on the wall surrounding the city of Leiting. From a distance, the beast population seemed to be flooding the East Gate. There was no shadow of the beast at the west gate. Instead, a row of humans evacuated into the city walls, and soldiers were seen sandwiching them from the left and right.
"Yes! The west gate is still open!"
Aldis and others hurried to the west gate, largely bypassing the east gate where the beasts swarm.
