When the silver-haired young man punched in the simulated sword in his hand, the relative knight, to the sharpness of his sword flashes, was the best he could take.

"Gu, ugh!

"There's a big gap!

A low kick from the feint that made him look like he was about to poke where he fell apart. So the knight rolled straight to the side.

"You seemed confident in sword moves, but what are you going to do if someone comes out who can't beat you with a sword? Keep other means readily available. Of course it's great to be able to win with just a sword, but our pride lies in fulfilling our mission. This time, the guard of the priest's house is paramount. Don't choose the means for that."

"Ha, ha."

"Okay, next"

Knight, Luc-Landon was renting Dreammaker's Square for a drill. Half of the accompanying knights are here, and the other half are recovery wizards - guards of priests belonging to the Church.

I guess their refinement - rather than their own because it is obvious that they are inhabitants of another continent due to differences in skin colour - is rare, the squares were populated with people of sight. They have free men in every city.

If it lasted for about 2 hours, the backpack just got sweaty, too, and I decided to take a break. He drinks the water from the leather bag and then wipes the back of his head and neck with a hand tug. This silver-haired young man is quite sturdy, so she sighs to see it.

"Hey, that's pretty good"

"... this is Lord Gorgia"

The only reason the tourists didn't talk to me was because they couldn't speak the words of the backpacks.

It was Gorgia who came. I came as a messenger to accompany the Expeditionary Army and have the spies handed over - someone who can talk to the backpacks. It's not perfect, so don't blur. It's a tone.

Gorgia came to the front of the backpack looking at the knights who stretched out sloppily to the ground and breathed incessantly.

"I showed you the ugly part"

"That's not true. If you work out, it's for everyone, and if you don't, it doesn't make sense to work out. - Oh, I'm not saying it wasn't Lord Luc's workout."

"No... Lord Gorgia is right, there is a little shortage"

"Really?

"- What can I do for you at the place? If it's a visit to the Priest, I'll adjust."

"I don't need that"

The purpose for which the backpacks came here was to treat the king. But it was told that it was over (...) -. It was a way of saying that the recovery wizard brought in by Silverface did a good job, but I haven't heard the details.

Then there were some people who offered to "treat" him, and the priest put on a recovery magic each time. These are not particularly important things to do, but the priest himself said, "It's a good thing to help people," and Luc also decided that there would be no negative effects on diplomacy in the future.

But it was also a few days ago, and the offer of treatment stopped perfectly. I didn't know why, but even as a backpack, I spent my days working out this way because the priest was safe and the task was to wait until the subsequent ship arrived.

"I don't need... do I?"

This is also made clear, "What happened?" I'd love to hear it, but it's not the guardian's job to hear it. Luc swallowed the words.

"Oh, I'm sorry. Don't you take healing wizards lightly? You know what I mean?

When Luc nodded, Gorgia looked horny.

"Good for you. I came here about you."

"? Me...?

"Oh, if you feel like you're lacking in training, why don't you train with us?"

――――

The rice balls and backpack swallowed the knobs.

I felt it the first time I saw Gorgia - the feeling that if you fight this guy one-on-one, you won't win.

If you can confirm that with training, you may be even stronger than just yourself - great opportunity.

"... I want to consult with the Priest"

"Absolutely. Call me anytime."

Gorgia leaves for fun - Luc, as a knight, did not realize excitedly the possibility that he might be able to go further. That a grin had disappeared on Gorgia's face as she left.

With the activity of the hang glider, Hikaru, who arrived at his second roots within the day, now carefully checked his surroundings before succeeding in destroying his roots.

The second root - the dragonstone fit in something very similar to the "bird basket".

("Tower," "Fortress," "Bird Basket"... I wonder what the hell it is)

It exploded and doesn't look like a "bird basket" anymore. Looking at the smoke rising from afar, Hikaru thought, but there was nothing definitive to back it up, although some speculation could be made.

It's already sunset.

Hikaru sleeps while activating "Hidden" when hammocked between trees and trees. It is easier to sleep than to sleep on the ground and there is a Gravity Balancer in case you fall.

Act early the next morning. Ever since I came to this world, I've become more accustomed to staying in danger areas than outdoors - either. A warm diet is more important than anything else, and that directly affects the vitality of life. But the smoke that will go up will fall outside Hikaru's "hidden" range, and will be done with portable food, as it could even call for monsters.

So sleep properly. Your strength is cut very gritty. For this reason, the goal of this "Root Destruction Operation" was to return in as long as 10 days, if possible within 7 days.

"Hmm... you don't seem to be here"

We even returned to the vicinity of the "bird basket" that we destroyed yesterday, but the large monsters, including the monsters, were not caught by "magic detection". It is there distance between the trees that the extension of the forest is negligible, and the large trees, which contain plenty of water and air, are probably less likely to burn.

Still, white smoke still rises around the "bird basket" and smells like smoke badly. If we were to destroy roots in a dry winter, it would likely be a forest fire of half the scale.

"Hmm... are those dragonstone shards?

Hikaru found a magical reaction when he found a rock that remained feverish and was reheating it by placing a mobile food that was creased with large leaves there. As I turn, the dragonstone shards earlier on my pinky are rolling.

"If this doesn't explode, you don't have to worry about the fire... no, what about burning down all the woods?

It's a hell of a destructive divine idea, but if Hikaru ever got cornered by forest expansion as a dreammaker's trader, it's not as weird an option as having "burn down every forest".

Even if burning the forest is going to kill ecosystems and many unrelated animals, it's better than wiping out the people altogether.

"Well, you're not gonna do that now."

However, if I burned all the woods, I'd have trouble ahead of me this time. It is the forest that produces materials such as architecture and fuel, produces food, prepares soil and also brings grace to river and sea ecosystems. When the forest is gone, you will starve in a few years.

I just want it to cook half as good as it sounds, no matter what I wish, it won't work that well.

"Like slapping it off in the sidelines? Hmmm...... but if there's a spark and you detonate it, you're in trouble. It takes too long to slice it up. Like flushing it down the river or burying it on the ground? No, I'm not sure how dragonstone works on monsters. I mean, what is Dragonstone made of in the first place?

Crouch and observe. This dragon stone lights a blue light. Looking around, there's a splash of burnt stone fragments, but is this the end of the dragonstone? Hikaru tries to pinch the stone fragments that have lost color.

"Hmm... that's a stone. Just a stone. If we can magic this, we'll go back to Dragonstone or something? Hmmm......"

Arm up and twist your neck.

"Dragonstone is a stone that produces from dragons... if an adventurer defeats a dragon species, he takes that dragonstone home without exception and sells it. Because it turns into a lot of money. Much like Spirit Magic Stone when it comes to what to use such expensive stones... fuel for magic. So what's the difference between a spiritual magic stone?

Second, I notice.

"Well, there's a difference (...)... The Spirit Magic Stone is a magical stone that brings you to the Spirit Magic. Dragonstone is a magical stone that leads to evil."

Hikaru fishes an archive of his knowledge, but the knowledge he wanted did not exist.

"… it is not clear how these stones will be produced. But the dragon stone here feels clear artificial (...). In other words."

I felt like I was close to an answer.

"This dragon stone is magic. Unlike spiritual magic stones that produce in the mountains, the evil magic stones made by magic are dragon stones - meaning... if you lose your magic, return to the stone? Don't you need to make a big bang?

Standing up Hikaru thinks as he walks around the dragonstone.

Doubts have returned to the starting point.

"Magic that makes you lose your magic...... no, you don't have to do anything, not just magic. If there's a way to suck out magic - wait a minute."

Suck it out?

"There it is... I've sucked out magic in the past"
