We are to rescue Elizabeth, the Duke of Philsand's Lady.
Information from the conversation between the knights indicates that she is now fleeing Battle Axe Township with a horse.
The problem is that there's at least an hour's delay, and we don't know where Elizabeth ran off. Plus, we have to figure out a way to track her down.
"So far there are only two routes from Battle Axe Township: a street to the village of Yule in the northwest and a street across the eastern mountain range to Philsand. Either that or..."
"If the warrant lady is really running away from the Knights, it's the northwest route, if you normally think about it."
I will be picking up some spells, taking into account the opinions of Ill and Crawler. At the same time, given the sharing of roles among our fellow citizens.
"First, Ill join Ted and the others. And tell the Knights we'll find the lady on our own anyway. There's no harm in emphasizing that you're doing it 'in good faith'. And let the Dwarves know."
Copy that, sir.
"Crawla will work with the Dwarves to explore the interior of Battle Axe Township just in case. I can also imagine that you're making it look like you're out there."
"I see... I understand."
"This is just in case, but Laiha is the east route. If there's no trace of him traveling with a horse, come back soon."
"As you wish."
"Lade"
"What? This will have nothing to do with the dark. I don't need to listen to your orders."
"No, please, not an order. Can you protect us all when we have to stay here?"
Gently bow your head to the rade while sitting on the couch with a big sword.
He sighed grumpy distorting his mouth.
"I'm just staying here. If anyone gets in the way, I'll take care of it."
"Sorry, thanks"
I don't know if you're really willing to cooperate if it's just words, but I'm already going to thank you for that. Gorillas, but as for the side looking after the cost of living in general, I want you to be patient with this much.
"You're going to check the northwest route, aren't you? Can you find one girl in this dark night?
"I've been thinking about it."
A few minutes later I was using the [Fly (Fly)] spell and flying the Battle Axe Township on my back.
The Battle Axe Township itself is illuminated by countless lights, but if we proceeded northwest for a minute, we could only see thin street-like muscles on the ground. If you're running around here on a horse, that's pretty reckless driving.
Flying for a few more minutes, he was overtaking a group of horseback riders walking down the night lane. It looks like they haven't discovered the warrant yet either.
We will continue to overtake the Knights, but we will not find the shadow of the preceding Lady, whether in sight or hearing enhanced with [physical enhancement (physical enchant)].
If Elizabeth is serious about running away from the Knights, she can also think of a means of hiding somewhere in the shadows of rocks, bushes, etc., during the night. I would naturally use that much maneuver because it is a getaway using even sleeping pills (or something).
Worse possibilities can also be getting into branches and getting lost.
I used to pause in the universe for dark nights.
"Ho, ho"
Not enough to wait, one owl came in front of me. Swirl around while ringing with a characteristic voice. He's the one I've been waiting for.
Of course it's not just an owl. "Moon Oul". It is a clean four-level monster created by the spell of [Monster Creation (Creative Monster)].
Nine moons with a high level of intelligence at night were sent out to explore ahead of time.
As soon as I followed the directions of the moon, I found a fallen horse and a shadow on the street. At first I thought it was a pine light, but the wand with the magic flame rolled by it was a good landmark.
Not if you're saying that, but you could have discovered this by just flying along the street...
As I hurried to land and approach, I found that the shadow was still a blonde girl.
Okay, but.
"Ugh..."
Even though it was illuminated by a cane flame, the ride on the night lane was still impotent.
He must have crashed into the rock on the curve, the white horse spitting blood bubbles and not tingling. The girl's hands and feet were also distorted, her head cracked thoroughly and her whole body was bloody.
On the ground illuminated by the light of the Wizardry staff, I see traces of a desperate attempt to crawl with broken hands and feet, and I am relieved by their misery.
"... ooh, ooh. You, hold on!
As long as I breathe...... I listen to my half-open mouth in prayer.
"Hi-yu, hi-yu".
I did hear a fine breathing noise like a gap wind.
"Okay. That'll help."
For the first time in a long time I felt a long 10 seconds to cast a spell. Fortunately, [Full Treatment (Perfect Recovery)] was activated before she ran out of time.
"Ugh!? ahhh..."
Her head and whole body wounds blocked and her hands and feet were back on track, but the impact of the accident and the feeling that she was dying just now will not go away.
He grabs the robe and sees it, groaning that doesn't make sense.
The adorable face is a mess with tears and blood, and neither the present situation nor who I am would have been able to recognize it yet.
"It's okay, it's okay now"
"Ugh, uhh. Ahhh."
There's nothing else I can do, I'm gonna hug my little body trembling like a joke and stroke her back. Apparently he was stuck in his trachea. I can get a huge chunk of blood bathed, but I couldn't afford to worry about this one either.
"... ha... ha... I...... Ah."
It would have been about a minute in time. The girl's breathing calmed down, and the red eyes returned a light of will.
You also noticed the situation being hugged by a man named me, trying to push him away.
"... oh, you..."
"Looks like you're doing okay now."
I'll try to talk to her in as friendly a voice as possible, thinking that the girl is suspicious, but I'm also probably suspicious.
"Are you sure, Wizard... Margils...?
"Exactly. Jeetaias, castle lord, it's the wizard Margils. Are you the Duke of Philsand's maid of honor?
I have been more convinced in my short interactions with the girl with the face of 'I don't know what I'm doing' than wary...... This girl is still a cutter. At least I've never been called a wizard, not a magician, in my first meeting. She does a good job of researching me in advance and keeping the information in mind.
"Yes...... yes. Elizabeth Laurie… Philsandia…"
She gratefully picked a short dress hem with both hands, still a little confused... and looked around as a haha.
"Oh, wow, I am!... Starwind! Star-style... ahhh...!
She notices a white horse who has fallen to the ground and stopped moving, screaming briefly. I picked up the wand that was falling in a hurry and checked myself out.
"After all, I was thrown out of the star wind... and the bones in my body... why am I alive...?
I took the cloth out of the white horse saddlebags and wiped my face, hands and feet thoroughly and it seemed like I had completely remembered the situation so far.
"No head wounds either...?... No way, you...?
I nodded to the lady inquiring with a bloodless face.
"Oh. It was a terrible injury. Extra help, but they let me treat you."
"Was it..."
"Phew."
The hairstyle girl, emphasizing the cuteness of twin tails, leaked a long sigh like an old woman.
"Master Margils... why are you doing this...?
Why did you help me, not 'this kind of thing'? Doesn't seem to be trusted.
No, it was her eyes that bothered me more than that.
If I lived 42 years, I would occasionally see these eyes no matter how peaceful I lived. My aunt, who lost her family in an accident at once, had the same eyes as her current maid.
……
How can she be helped by me?
Was she really going to run away in the first place?
The best thing, of course, was to crack each other's bellies and talk carefully, but hatred, enhanced hearing, was listening to the approaching sound of horseback riding. The Knights of Philsand will probably be here in about five minutes.
"I just want to help you. And there's something I need to tell you in a hurry."
"What is it?
I am a white glowing wizardry staff showing where I came from down the street. The knights' pine lights are closing in.
She noticed that, too, and nodded small toward this one. That I have some idea of her relationship with the Knights seems to have been conveyed.
"As Castle Zeetaias, I believe it is in our interest to help you, and if you will cooperate, I will help you as much as I can."
"Well."
She nodded with a face like she'd even heard a familiar song. Based on my background as a diplomat, I thought it would be more convincing to use the merits as a reason, but I seemed right. Well, actually, this isn't a whole lie either.
It's just a question of whether she really wants to help.
Elizabeth began to curl her hair like she was in some trouble.
"... I am"
"Hmm?"
"As you seem to know, I am being neglected by my father and my second brother for my life.... Until earlier, I thought I had no choice but to die or be killed... but"
She keeps leaning down and continues like a solitaire.
"... I've never known that I was so afraid to die"
Several pine lights gradually approached. Is the rest like a few minutes?
Behind Elizabeth's red eyes I saw a glimmer of emotion other than despair...... I feel like it.
"As it is, I thought I would hate to die with my mother's grudge and without knowing my father's sincerity"
"... right"
"Dear Margirus the Wizard. Abbreviations, but I suggest you form a personal alliance with me"
You wouldn't have trusted me completely, of course. But she chose to use me and survive while I was being used.
Once again, she corrects her posture and praises her like a lady.
Her hair and dress were bloody, but she was beautiful without some gaps in her appearance.
