The Traveling Hero Won’t Let the Innkeeper’s Son Escape
The world that lost its heroes should walk the path of doom... 5
On that day - the night Ruth and the others entered the ark - it seemed that suddenly a superior spirit appeared before the village chief Gerald of Mikana. At the same time, Karen later heard that the guardian spirits of the village chief of Hashi had also moved. It seems that similar phenomena have occurred in several other villages close to the ark.
The Spirit appeared and ordered the villagers to evacuate immediately. It seems that the reason was not explained in detail, but since many villages originally paid respect to the superior spirits, the inhabitants fled the village and went down the mountain in a hurry even though they were half-concerned. On the way, it seems that not even an animal, not a monster, appeared.
When the morning sun rose, the villagers arrived at the foot of the mountain, and suddenly the mountain collapsed with a large earthquake and the structure appeared.
Then a giant magic cube appeared in the sky. It seems that creatures that have not been seen at the same time appeared in the sky and began to burn the surrounding mountains.
"I've never seen a creature before...."
"Yeah, it's different in shape, color, monsters and animals, and it doesn't seem like a creature in this world in the first place. Great people call it“ the creature of the other world. "You might want to talk to someone else about it. Anyway, they attack us without asking questions, so it's pretty nasty."
"Running away, everybody, huh?
"Rest assured, the spirits helped me. Everything seems to have taken their life from the Spirit King and evacuated us."
The villagers managed to escape thanks to the Spirit, but they were still tired of walking since yesterday night without knowing anything. When the sun fell and everyone felt anxious that the night would come again, this huge ship descended right in front of us.
"At first I thought it was an enemy. I had to protect everybody, but I was a little desperate about their size."
But Karen was one of the brave men who got out of there. They told the villagers to get into the boat for a while and flew off the spot. The villagers aboard the flying ship were apparently relieved for a while. Surely that would be the case if I were to be put on this ship without previous knowledge.
"We had a lot of people on board, so the ship was full. That's why they dispersed into a few cities and dropped the villagers off."
Many villagers descended in King's Landing, and most of the people of Hashi and Mikana descended in the port town of Warriors. The brave men were acquainted with their respective captains, so they were able to secure a shelter.
"I was planning on getting off at Warriors, too, Yuan... but I didn't have enough men on this ship at the time..."
It was Gilmore who was operating as a rescue vessel, but still lacked manpower at that time and was able to carry supplies and guide people.
Unexpecting it, Karen and the others offered to help. The young and powerful were said to have been very welcome.
"That's when that old man Tomash arrived on another flying ship. And while I was helping, I heard about Ruth. He said he was in a very difficult situation with Grandpa Tomash. If you ask me that, I won't let you go. That's why Yuan and I are still on this ship in the name of helping."
That was the third day since the building appeared on the ground.
After that, Karen and the others were reunited with Ruth, who had lost his body.
At first, I was confused by a situation where I didn't understand the meaning of Ruth's soul in the Flor doll, and I thought it was a joke. But the people around me were talking with serious faces, so I decided to believe it.
"I'm glad Cyrus taught me so much. Otherwise, I really wouldn't have understood."
Cyrus, who was with Tomash, found out that Karen and the others were friendly enough to communicate frequently with Ruth, and gave him a lot of complicated information. It seems to have spoken to me when I boarded the ship. Looks like Ruth asked me to help him out with confusion from now on.
"But why me and Mr. Thomas?
"Why were you with Grandpa Tomash? I've heard about this before. Magic Phantom Crystal (Phantom Core) that contains Ruth's soul? Is that knife Oliharkon? But they took him to Grandpa Tomash."
"Olha, what's going on?
Karen answered a lot of questions about not knowing the details, but she told me what Ruth wanted to know.
Ruth does not remember the appearance of the Magic Cube over the sky. When I realized it, I slept in the boat's bed.
However, considering that his body is now a floral doll, it is certain that Tomash and the others noticed Ruth's presence and treated him in the meantime. It seems that Orha tried to keep the user alive because she was able to do so.
"Yes, Grandpa Tomash, who knew the ark had appeared on the ground, was out preparing for a reconnaissance, and the shattered Orihalcon flew straight up."
Thomas, who captured Olha, realized that his magical phantom crystal contained human souls. They hurriedly removed the magical phantom crystal from Orha and treated it to keep their souls from disappearing. From the shape of the Oriharcon, it was learned early that the soul was Ruth.
"Was Cyrus awake at that time? Sounds like it."
"Mr. Cyrus?
"Yes. Looks like it was really quick after Ruth was brought in. So I talked a lot about Grandpa Tomash's work... and I think we had a fight. I had a really awkward atmosphere when I met...."
It seems that Cyrus, who was told not to know when he would wake up, has been moving normally since then.
If there's another reason, I'll come back to you.
The words Cyrus and Ruth spoke before he went to sleep are recalled. Perhaps Cyrus kept his promise to Ruth.
Without him, Ruth wouldn't know how to move his body, and anxiety would have gotten bigger.
"... where's Orha now?
I'm right here.
Karen reaches behind Ruth and picks him up with a knife. A knife that has lost its sheath and the main body is chipped, and no longer remains a weapon - Olha of Orihalcon is not moving as slightly as if it had broken.
According to the story, although Alec's explosion at the time of awakening was avoided, it hit the subsequent energy release, and this is what it looks like.
Ruth had Orha put on her lap, which had grown too big to be held by both hands.
"Originally a healthy knife? What is it? Cyrus was feeling lonely. I wanted to see it too."
Always floating around Ruth, supporting the battle, praising and rejoicing, and relying on him to take the lead, Orha sat still on her lap without any reaction.
(I see, because I use magical phantom crystals....)
Olha became Ruth's partner in earnest after giving him Magic Phantom Crystals. Until then, if I stayed close like this, it would not move, and I could see it shining with a loud voice. Besides, if you've been so hurt, it's only natural that you can't exert your original powers.
"Don't worry. Grandpa Tomash said he'd fix it when everything was done. Until then, I'll leave you in your original state."
"Really... Thank you, Orha...."
Olha flashes in Ruth's arm. But the light is weak.
"After that, help people everywhere and transport luggage and people while being noisy. Along the way, when King Spirit and his son Ed came aboard and went to talk to King Ziltania, Kia rode on her own and became noisy and busy every day."
Sarah and Karen told me that there was a lot going on. It's going to be a long story, so she'll let me hear it slowly next time.
Then Kia and Ed joined Karen and the others, and they all watched Ruth's condition alternately as they helped the ship.
"Thank you for everything....."
"It's okay. I'm glad you woke up."
Karen strokes Ruth's head.
The alien creatures that appeared from the magic circle in the sky made the surrounding countries tingle as if a war had just broken out.
Especially since Ziltania was so close to Hashi village, it seems to be under frequent attack by alien creatures, but it seems to have managed to push it back.
Deoddart is working with Tomash and the others to move the troops while supporting Ziltania.
"Yes, there are many other ships on this ship, headed by the elder of the Dragon clan, such as the former demon king, the four gods, and the heroes of all generations... they seem to be gathered far beyond my imagination. I didn't join the difficult conversation because I was tasked with helping the ship move comfortably and with taking care of Ruth, and I haven't met any of those people. It was actually my first meeting yesterday."
"It didn't look like that."
Yesterday, it seemed to be smoothly guiding the Four Gods and the heroes of the past into the room, but in fact, Karen was quite nervous even in the alley.
In addition to this ship, there are several airborne vessels that Thomas had built, but Gilmore is the largest and most well-equipped, so this is the center of the matter sometime. That's why such a member came to Ruth's room yesterday.
"But why is everybody here to see me?
"... that's Ruth's last..."
When Karen tried to say something, she heard a knock outside the room.
"... hold on a second."
Karen stood up and headed for the door. It seems that Yuan was behind the door, and he came back looking sorry when he said something.
"What's wrong?
"Ruth, can we talk a little bit more?
Karen kneels to the side of the bed and gazes at Ruth. I realized something had happened to the worried look.
"Did someone call me?
"Yeah, it's just... if you can't do it, I refuse. If we can't say no, Cyrus will tell us."
I'm sure Karen is worried about Ruth.
From what we've heard so far, Cyrus, unlike Karen and the others, seems to be joining the important story.
He is a former soldier and son of Thomas. It is not strange to be familiar with past stories and magic machines, or to be aware of various current situations. And when it's hard to say no without him, it's more or less limited.
"It's okay, I'll go. I was talking to Karen, and my mouth started to move."
Ruth's tone, which had been followed at first, was also influenced by Karen, who was a good speaker, and somehow became normal. It is difficult for the body to move naturally, but conversations with people are not trillions.
"Yes... don't push me."
When Karen came back to the door, the door was wide open and one person came in.
"Ruth, I'm sorry my body just started moving, but could you come to the meeting with me?"
"Geo-san....."
There was Alec's master with a harsh look on his face. You are even thinner than you saw before, and you can see sharp eyes from the long gap between your eyebrows.
"Hero... I want you to tell me what happened to Alec in there."
Ruth grasped his smaller hand naturally.
