The Traveling Hero Won’t Let the Innkeeper’s Son Escape

"Well, I could discover a lot this time, and I saw a festival, and it was fun ~"

This time Jeremias was sneaking after his own son, Edvardo, who ran away from home from the beginning.

By the time Edvard got out of the room from this man, it was possible to discover and stop him, but I dared to leave him there and follow him. The various strange phenomena that were happening around Edvard mostly involved this man and the spirits instructed.

He then appeared before Ruth and the others to watch Edvard reach Hashi village. Ultimately, he left without looking at his son like this, just helping him. The roundabout way is this manly.

"If so, I like it a lot. About Ruth."

"Don't tell me... I know what was attached to Ruth's Orihalcon was the magical phantom crystal you made (Phantom Core)"

Magic phantom crystals are not easy to make. It consumes a level of magic that even the Wonok class cannot make without a few years. If Jeremiah is going to make it, though the Spirit King, he must be almost out of the magic he's been accumulating for years.

"Because it's my son's favorite. You seem to have protected me a lot this time, and deserve a special thank you, don't you? I have to treat you well."

"Treat it with care? I could've done it anytime I wanted to help, but you were the one who was quietly touring how Ruth and the others were being captured by Natasha?

Did you notice the slight frustration of Wonok, or Jeremias, who was sitting deep in his chair, changes his posture just a little bit. My face is laughing as usual, but I started to move the xel I had senselessly.

"Maasa ~. That's why I would do that………"

"So why did you bother intervening to give advice, but you didn't stay put? You would have done enough. If you're a power-pushing brave man with no knowledge or skill, there's no way you can make magical phantom crystals that you can't destroy that woman's technique, is there?

Signs of Wonok began to cause disturbing winds.

Jeremias turns the xelle around like he was in a hurry.

"... no, ah, you know. It's so hard."

"I find it a lot harder to go into the world of women and become stone statues than to do the art?

"Oh, that is…………………"

"Regardless of your son, it should be necessary to change the foundational part of that woman's procedure to temporarily preserve Ruth's memory, which normally has magic powers?

"No, oh, and uh..."

"Speaking of which, you said, '- Kill all of you, but you're going to have to destroy this world'? Were you really going to do it?"

"Oh, you can't be! That's my son's favorite. You're lying. I knew that Ruth would be okay to go around, so I just made a breakthrough because I was out of it. I was willing to help if it was really bad."

"I mean, you were in a position to help at that point."

"Ugh."

Yeremias, who looked sinister for a while, raised his hands so that Wonok would eventually surrender as he watched in silence.

According to the confessed Jeremias, it's a coincidence that he got into Natasha's surgery, but he found out that his taken in son was looking unusual and began to treat his powers well, and decided to watch him for a bit. He wanted to support his son as he grew up because he could do it whenever he just rescued him. While I'm sorry for Ruth, it looks like she had me attached to it.

I guess that's why I overreacted when I met Ruth earlier, saying thank you again, giving her a gift.

(Hung...... I don't know how far that is true either)

If this man really wanted to hide the truth, he would surely not be able to see through it in Wonok. Anyway, because this man is good at lying. I seem to have confessed honestly for once, but I'm not necessarily telling you everything. But it is useless to ask any more questions.

"I thought it was bad for you, Ruth. But if I go in, she won't leave me alone, and I can't leave Edvard alone."

"So you say you haven't done anything wrong?

"Don't stick around... I knew from the middle of nowhere that he was an important associate of the brave, so I would never do that again. I thought he was a weak kid, but he's tough, and even though he's a normal kid, he brings us all back to the original world on his own, and the recognition involved... so I worked hard to make magical phantom crystals (that) for him... rather, I feel guilty when I think he involved such an honest kid, and it's hard for me ~"

"Hung, do you think I'm guilty? I don't think that's the line of the man who scorched a quarter of Marizfathom."

"... the incident was originally caused by those idiots blowing up one of the Spirit Clan towns, right?

"Reports were up that Azuma at your place was trying to attack our dignitaries?

"So that's you in the first place…………"

Jeremias once burned down Wonok's country in retaliation a long time ago. It's this guy who looks like he's grown up and has more outrageous thoughts than Geo or Wonok. There was also a reason because he was young and as pointy as Wonok was at that time, but Wonock still thinks that he should not have a hundred percent credit because he can't see his belly at all, even now that he's calmed down.

"…… hey, I'm not going to. Barrens."

"…… That's right. I'm done talking about it. Anyway, right now, as long as we keep the treaty, we'll be fine."

Not so much at present, but the Demons and Spirits are not very close. For this reason, when staying in the same town, it is forbidden by the treaty to engage each other more than is necessary.

That's why Wonok left the village this time during the Spirit Festival. It was because Jeremiah had asked me to leave the village so that the superior spirits hosting your son could not reluctantly help Wonok. Wonok's refusal to say this would be the same thing that's blowing the war.

"... or have you been peeking at me since the beginning of this case?

"It's obvious."

I didn't get my hands on it because I have a treaty thing to do. But if Jeremiah was going to harm Ruth, he was going to rescue him before that.

(That's important to the power of the brave)

Wonok convinces one person that it is natural.

"If you hadn't done a strange imitation, I wouldn't have done this.... if you're not Fance's brother, you don't even want to have a conversation."

"Yes, sir. That's what you are. Even though I hate spirits, I've always been just a fan, a fan and a brother"

"What's wrong?"

"I'm not saying it's bad. Even though he's a pain in the ass, he'll be happy to think of his brother."

Jeremias raised the edge of his mouth slightly.

Apart from the former rulers, they have a troublesome relationship with their lover's brother and their brother's lover. I can't even cut the edge. We used to kill each other for that, but after a thousand years, we are in the mood to complain about each other and so on.

"More problematic than that, Natasha...... is about the future prediction of the Witch of Despair. Is it true that that woman saw Ruth's future?

"'Witch of Despair'... oh, you used to call me that too"

Witch of Despair - Natasha Dickhout. A genius sorceress of the devil clan who deals with special techniques. Not so much the art of attacking others, but the woman who bombarded the whole world with her future predictions before the old times died. "Witch of Despair" is the name given to the person who made the prediction of the future from the story of beating him to the bottom of despair.

In fact, it is assumed that she was asked to make a forecast for the future, that she was told the future of despair and that almost nothing could have been avoided. It is even said that asking her to make a future prediction is not to avoid it, but to make the post-processing smooth and convenient.

The Witch of Despair is also one of those who survives the age of doom and has lived a long time successfully practicing her magic. But there is no direct involvement. Wonok is one of those people who doesn't feel threatened but is troubled by his ability to do so.

(I didn't expect to hear that woman's name now...)

Ruth thinks it's just a lie, but Natasha's future forecast hits almost a hundred percent.

Both Wonok and Jeremias are reluctant to look because they know that.

"It's true. I didn't hear it all, but that woman did predict your future, Ruth. As a result, I saw the future of 'being ripped out of my heart and killed'. … it will be quite difficult to avoid."

"This has become troublesome……………."

"Really. Ruth, I can't believe you have such a title... I should have realized that."

Even as Wonok himself, I don't feel good about letting Ruth die.

At first it was the perception that he was just a young man involved in the brave, and like Jeremiah, he was a being who didn't care if he died or lived. That's enough now to make sure you survive first if you get caught up in it.

I don't feel bad about the same attitude without being frightened, even though I have a thin idea of who Wonok is. So much so that I look forward to delivering the borough stew.

(But that's not all. The fact that Ruth will be killed -)

The power of the brave men that Wonok and his men are looking for can have a huge impact. I can even think of losing that power at worst.

(That's why Ruth's death has to be avoided, no matter what)

It is not easy, however, to circumvent the future predictions of the Witch of Despair. I know because I have seen many times the likes of those who could not resist a long time ago. That is still good enough for an individual to die, and it has often been a matter of moving history, such as the destruction of the country and the collapse of the species.

"It doesn't mean you'll never be able to avoid it. There's something about Grandpa Tomarsh, isn't there?

"So you gave Ruth the magic phantom crystal? But what the old man did was almost by chance. There's no such thing as success."

"Mm-hmm. Normally, they disappear."

Wonock laughed with his nose at the operation, which was close to Jeremiah's bet, but at the same time he was slightly anxious about what this man had done. This man is better than himself. He looks like he's laughing easily on the surface, and I guess he feels like Wonok is in trouble.

"But... that's strange. I can't believe this is how we discuss one thing in the same place. It's been hundreds of years?

"In the meantime, I told you when I took out Kannagra."

"You just picked up my kid because he was caught by you."

On the surface, she looked frightened, but Jeremiah told her and Wonok noticed something strange.

Since the days of doom, until now Wonok and Jeremiah have barely spoken face to face. Same goes for Geo. Since the forces are too great for each other, when we assemble, we create inter-ethnic tensions, so even if we do contact each other, we are consciously leaving the place. It's also been quite a while, if you think about it, since I heard the emergence of The Witch of Despair or the name of Tomarsh. Why do you hear all the names of the ancients at this time? Does it make any sense?

"... I don't care about that. I'm not like you."

"Oh, you're positive. You really like Ruth."

"If he dies, I don't know what will happen to the bravest man in history."

"Hmm, yeah, I see. But... even you don't stop the brave from going to the ark, do you?

Jeremias looks bad on people. That turned into a slightly sarcastic smile when Wonock was not responding to anything.

"... Well, I'm guilty of the same thing in that matter. I hate to make you sad, Ruth, but I'm waiting for my brother to return. My sister couldn't wait, so I'd like to see Edvard instead."

"That child is still……………………."

"Is that it? I didn't realize Edvard wasn't my real child, did I? The last family my sister left for my brother (Fance). Thanks to you, I'm the one who took my place."

Jeremiah's sister said she was not so magical, but that she had survived until recently and was waiting for her brother to return. But a few decades ago he realized he couldn't wait any longer, and he squeezed his last strength and gave birth to Edvard. Looks like he died two days later.

"What happened to your real father?

"You don't really know what's going on around here. He doesn't have to talk about them until the end.... or in that state, you can't believe you were given a child in the first place. I almost fell asleep."

Jeremiah's sister says that she was in her thirties or so on the outside, but that she had been almost asleep for several years before giving birth to Ed. But one day, my stomach suddenly grew bigger. He figured out that the reason was because he was pregnant, so much so that he made a little noise.

"At the end of the day, you're unconscious and you say," Thank God. "I can't believe he talks about 'God'... who was it about?"

It equals no such thing as' God 'for the Wonoks who live for a long time. Because the four gods that people around them believe in are people and they know they are the subjects to be rescued. Jeremiah's sister should have been the same.

"Well, that's enough damp talk, okay? …… Well, I'm done thanking you for leaving the village."

"When did you say thank you?"

"I'm done telling you about Ruth, and I think I'm going home. I'll look into Ruth too. If we lose the power of the brave, we can't help Fance."

The perimeter of Jeremias begins to glow. That's the same light this man had when he was pretending to be the Spirit King.

"... but come on... I don't know why"

"Again, what?"

"When I think of how Ruth and the brave guys were getting along... something... makes me feel like I'm doing something bad..."

Jeremias disappeared into the light, whining in a rare and serious tone.

…………

In the room where no one was left, Wonock closed his eyes quietly.
