After a short walk, we found an unnatural stone wall in the woods.
There are creeks around and animal ringing.
I hit it and it changes, and it only makes the sound of nature ringing.
I don't know what to say to that figure for a moment, and I ask Auntie and Bettenburg.
"Is this the city of mercy?
"Even so. This is the city of mercy… it looks like something was taken lightly."
"Yeah, it's called a city..."
I knew it, I thought it wasn't in the woods.
I hear that criminals are also being held here. Can we keep a city like that away from that castle?
"Hey, we don't have time to waste talking. If the guys here get ripped off by the Sage Act that we're here..."
"No, that'll be fine. The Cardinal missed it. I'm sure they're under the assumption that we'll get here."
"... you mean on their hands, too"
Crush with a face like Zahr crushed a bitter bug.
I don't put it in my mouth, but I guess everyone thinks the same thing.
But there was only one man who didn't move one eyebrow and was calm.
"I mean, Mentila. I'm sorry, but do you mind if I have you waiting in the carriage?
"Okay, Bettenburg. In case you get away with it, right?
"That's right. This is also a possible trap, a dangerous bet. There wouldn't be any idiots jumping in without insurance, would there?
After nodding to Bethenburg's words, Mentila hides herself aboard your podium.
After checking his appearance, he enters the city entrance as Bethenburg urged.
After we clearly remembered where the carriage was, we followed him.
As we entered the city, there was a slightly creepy landscape popping into our eyes.
It's the same, every building, every structure.
The shape of the windows and the orientation of the entrance are all united.
Soldiers who would be guarding this city also keep walking through the city with staring eyes.
And even if his eyes turn this way, he won't even show us the way to go after us.
But there was only a little bit of the old world left for the children who couldn't help but squeeze in such an atmosphere.
"... I heard rumors, but how come inside? It's a quiet city."
"Bettenburg?"
"Look at this city. All buildings have the same structure and are protected by soldiers. And it's like kids out there"
"... I know it's strange, but not so much..."
"It's not. What was the first thing you thought of when you saw this city?
... Whatever they say.
"The house, all in the same shape?
"That's right. In the name of charity, this city ensures that there is no difference between rich and poor. I mean, they won't leave you around, even if you don't shut up and come from inside the house like this"
"So you think there's nobody outside who's an adult?
Bettenburg nods.
Go on, now Zahr opened his mouth.
"I mean, Bethenburg, you're the soldier here and the walls are the Lazares that made you god, and you're saying that the people of this town are the followers of the Wise Men's Law itself?
"Exactly. They were given a mercy in the name of equality, as you can see. But I really wonder if this is the happiness that all people want."
The laughter of the children blurs my ears.
Indeed, I doubt that a parent who is just stuck in a house day and night without even looking at them is a human being.
That's when the old man's voice suddenly came into my ear from behind.
"Oh, Father. Welcome to this city of mercy."
"... Father?
Seeing, the bald old man with his head bows deeply to Zahr.
"Mr. Zahr, what the hell does this mean?
"... I was originally working with Dahlia. That the original class was just priests"
"I see."
... but Zahr has already turned his teeth to the law of the wise.
Why does this old man keep calling himself a priest about Zahr?
Suddenly Bettenburg started laughing high, taking my doubts seriously.
"...... huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!
"Duh, what's wrong, Bettenburg!?
"Finally, I get it, you guys! What we were like to them!
"First of all, we are not even perceived by them as enemies! It means they're licking it!
It must not be a coincidence that Zahr was called a priest or that I was helped by them.
I mean, if they weren't originally willing to interfere with us, all the twitches would fit.
"It's been a while, it's been so long since I've been cocked!
"Calm down, Bettenburg. It's no use shouting that out here."
"Huff, I think I'm cool. The other way around. I'm having so much fun right now."
"Fun?"
"The enemy has finally appeared to me. How can you stay without a leap of mind!?
His face that speaks of it certainly seemed more enjoyable than ever.
Pure eyes, like a boy who was bought a new toy.
Contrary to that, there was the appearance of an old man confused without following a sudden leopard freak.
"... oh, that"
"No, I'm sorry. Keep talking to me."
"Yeah, yeah. Then..."
One arrow pierced his head the moment he opened his mouth to talk that way.
Splashing blood on my cheek.
Looking for the direction in which the arrows flew, there was a mysterious man, hiding himself in a mask and hood, aiming this way from the high ground.
