Tou no Madoushi

A few days after Flora's execution, Lynn was arrested.

The charge was for popular fanning.

In the attack on Lord Edianel's mansion, many of those caught belonged to civilian rallies, so his leader, Lynn, was seen as the mastermind.

Lynn was detained after being taken and questioned by police officers who had visited him in large numbers.

As well as when Lynn was thus imprisoned by the authorities, Held had been called to a private residence in Illywia.

In front of him was Illyweer, who was sitting in a lavish chair for royalty and dropping his gaze on his lap, and Duke, who stood flashly next to him.

It was like any servant other than the three would be kicked out of that room and there would be some kind of secret, serious story going on.

"What do you mean?"

Duke opened his mouth the most.

"What is it?

Held answers nicotineously.

"Don't blur. It's about Lord Edianel."

"Oh, I'm sorry about that one, too. Well, I can't help it. I can't believe it's treason to the tower against the main culprit of the bombing. It won't be stylish because of how big a nobleman you are. I just don't know what to say, but wasn't it convenient for us? Lord Edianel and I were in conflict over the amended bill..."

"You think you can deceive us with that nonsense?

Duke said without breaking any of that harsh look.

The boulder's helmet can also pull in a light grin.

"Marche Ansier......"

Illyweer muttered the name quietly.

Held had no particular reaction and waited for her next word.

"The guild that Lord Edianel was manipulating from behind the guild that he was imploring......, the guild that was manipulating it further from behind. They say if we go deep like this, their names come up."

"I see. So what happened to that guild, Marche Ansier?

"Held, the court and the senior nobles are turning their doubts to you and to me."

"To me and Master Illyweer?

"He suspected that one of the council members who questioned this case might have a traitor in his body, and thoroughly investigated it. And I smelled a strange coincidence between you and one of Marche Ansier's executives."

"I see. So you're saying I'm suspicious"

Held said something like, "Oh, man.

"Do you understand? What does this mean? There's no way I know the rules of the royal palace with you."

I said in a frustrating manner to the held that Duke would never boil down to.

"Yeah, sure. I'm fine. It is unacceptable for many to break down the Royal Palace coalition. Even royalty..."

"That's right. But something broke the union. If you really put Lord Edianel, near the princess, on Lord Edianel's side... this is a big problem. Depending on the matter, we can't even get involved in Lord Illywia's succession to the throne."

"That's certainly important."

Held said like any other HR.

"You. You know how serious this is!

Duke told me to ask questions.

That was a way to say that you were worried about Held or that you were blaming him.

Held looked at Chirali and Ilyweer.

She was looking bored as she stroked Karat's back sitting on her lap.

(Can you help me with the boulder? But I don't think we have all the hard evidence yet. Then you can open as many as you want)

Held suddenly turned to Duke with a serious face.

You know what I mean? Of course I do. But I have to say I'm also a victim of this. "

…… What's this all about?

"I was also suspicious of Lord Edianel's series of incidents. I was wondering if there was someone on our side (by our side) who had fallen into Lord Edianel. So I did my own research, and I got to one person."

"I mean, Held. You weren't the one pulling the thread behind it. Is that what this is all about?

Duke told me to push just in case.

"Yeah, sure."

"Then who the hell?

"The true culprit who joined forces with the guild to be Marche Ancier and fell into Lord Edianel. It's Lynn."

"What?

Duke was stunned.

My hand stops stroking Illyweer's carat.

"Stupid. You must be the one who was overseeing Lynn, right? When such excuses prevail..."

"Of course, Lynn's poor supervision is the result of my immorality. But Master Illyweer also admitted, a wizard who was adored. Who could have predicted you'd have that kind of darkness?

Held said in all his worries.

"Lynn fell on Lord Edianel.... Is there a basis?

Illyweer said quietly, and to ask.

"Ha. A Flora girl who is the perpetrator of an example bombing. I have no doubt that she was moving as a Marche Ansier puppet. But could she have done so far by herself, a slave to a single cause? For her to sprinkle the bomb so far and so many times, she needs free access to royal palaces, grand aristocratic mansions, and all over the city of Alfld, and the cooperation of collaborators who do so and are not unnatural, namely the College Magic Instructor."

"That's... it's Lynn," he said?

"Ha. That's why Lynn was in constant contact with Flora when I was negotiating with Lord Edianel. The way it looked was so intimate with each other that we didn't think it was something very different. Not that I was suspicious, but he used to work for me, and even when I asked him, he was a strain of 'I have an idea'. If you say so, I can't pursue this one or any further, and I left it. Now I think it was a big deal."

Held said how sad he looked.

(Stupid. That Lynn. No, but if you do say so, it doesn't make a difference that he's also an unafraid person. Anyway, I was trying to get my hands on Master Illywia's spirit.)

"At the trial, Lynn was showing a sleigh that would help her. If you think about it, it doesn't even look like you were trying to help an accomplice. With that said, you used to be after Silf. Maybe that was Marche Ansier's offer now..."

Held said with a ha-ha look like he'd just noticed.

"What about Silf... wasn't it the crime of Yuin's character pulling the thread behind it?

"I don't know. Who the hell can deny that he, Lin, had dark feelings for the royal nobility and this tower? I've been acting with him for the past few months, but I've always felt an indescribable, bottomless, unidentified proximity to him. Now that I think about it, maybe Lynn hated me too. Maybe he was one of those civilians who hated our nobility."

(Sure Lynn could do it...? No, but...... it is also believed that Herd nominated Lynn as his right arm in anticipation of this happening)

Duke cautioned against being flushed by Held's story.

In fact, the way he looked at it was generally a hit.

What Lynn and Flora were going to do to make it intimate was to have a pre-meeting between Herd and Forta. Flora was suspicious of behavior with Lynn because she was always afraid that Lynn would fall into it.

Duke decided to let the exploration in.

"Your actions were consistent with those of Marche Ansier's executives..."

"It's part of Lynn's background check. I was trying to reach out to them and find out what Lin was up to."

"Held. Lynn is a college magician, even if he rots. Its identity is protected by the Association of Magic Instructors. Even the royal family can't get their hands on the detours. But the great nobles will not be convinced of that. What the hell are you gonna do?

"Rest assured. I have an idea."

Held took the letter out of his nostalgia just saying he was waiting.

"We have a letter here charging Lynn. That's not all. We have all the witnesses to the fact that he had a grudge against Lord Edianel, a deep involvement with the Dark Alliance, and a connection with a girl named Flora, the executor. If you accuse him and strip the College Mage of his identity, he'll boil, bake, and we'll be free."

"Who is the witness?

"I'm a person named Kalo, who worked as a civilian with Lynn. He is also a reporter. It's a historic press. It will also help us in that respect. He says whoever worked with Lynn for four or six hours will be his witness. There's no clearer evidence than that, is there?

"Caro...... That's a name I've heard of. He must have been a radical type among the civilians. Are you saying that such a human being would be on our side of the aristocracy?

"The press is like a bat. If you look at each flag color and reward, and you think it's on the people's side, you're on the ruler's side, and you think it's on the ruler's side, you're on the people's side. That's what it is."

……

Illyweer and Duke shut up.

There wasn't enough decision making to believe what Held said.

But they're both forced to respond.

I had to follow Held's plan if I didn't think of anything.

"Held. Apart from the testimony of that Karo, is there any definite evidence that Lynn fell into Lord Edianel?

"Evidence? You have motive, you have witnesses, and you need any more proof?

"Lynn isn't the only one with motive."

Duke strictly said.

"No way, are you doubting me? So do you want to use silf? If that makes you feel better, look into my heart with as much silf power as you can!

Held exaggerated a little.

(If it looks like this, you've already taken care of Silf.)

Duke took a sigh of giving up when he saw Held's attitude.

"Held. I know what you're saying, too. But all the suspicions involving you and Lynn are just circumstantial evidence. When it comes to truth..."

"Dear Mr. Illyweer. Please don't flatter yourself with the uncertainty and ambiguity of truth. The word truth, it is certainly a good thing for 10,000 people with ear damage. But the intuition is like a concept that can be twisted at all costs by the way you look at it. Very grumpy...... and vain. It's not how the truth works, it's how it looks from the outside. A civilian who was expelled from the Royal Tea Party instigated the slaves of the great nobility to commit the crime. That's a pretty good story, isn't it?

"Do you mean cover the truth and impersonate Lynn with all her sins?"

"We must show some form of sincerity, even as we are, than the great nobles doubt the princess. You have to sacrifice someone more than you know who the real killer is! It's a wise decision to sacrifice the most suspicious and least painful person, namely Lynn, don't you think?

……

"It's a sacrifice. What can you get lost in? Isn't that the usual means of our nobility? You and I have always seen the same sight in court."

……

"Princess. It's all for the state. Please make the decision to let Lynn go for the union of the state and the royal palace."

Held said to kneel down respectfully and not push.

But while kneeling like that, I couldn't stop laughing at my mouth.

(I was able to banish Edianel to sacrifice Lynn. Later, I don't care if I even take away the position of college magician. One step closer to Illyweer's right arm. If we bury our competitors in darkness one after the other, eventually I can also ascend to the 500 tier Demon Instructor to be a member of a council that can unite the world. Then you can eventually make this woman, Illywia and me kneel)

Held felt his whole body tremble with freckles when he imagined the sight.

(Which nobleman will fall next? Sacrifice is... right, those guys that say 'Marche Ansier' or something are affordable?

"Really? Do you have to let go of Lynn"

Illyweer said unfortunately.

Illyweer stroked Karat's back to nostalgia.

(I do have to ask someone to make a sacrifice in the end than this has happened)

"Hmm."

She stopped her fingers and stared at Held.

His righteous face.

I still remember the first time I saw it.

He was an actor on stage.

I liked it at a glance.

I was very pleased when I found out that he was the one who drew the blood of a senior aristocrat.

Because I can hold it to my side right away.

Held worked a lot for me for Illyweer over the years.

Talent must also be a certainty.

But that's what he's saying now.

She told me to let go of her recent favorite, Lynn.

In view of our previous relationship and achievements, it will be clear that we should do what he says.

Illyweer looked up quietly to make a decision about something.

"Okay. Held. Unfortunately, I shall also make my decision as royalty"

"Oh, would you like to make a decision"

Held brightened his face and said.

"Yes. Held, you work for me, don't you?

"Absolutely. Any thing with the princess's orders. I will do more than ever to make up for the loss of Lynn."

"Then Herd, prepare to leave this tower as soon as possible"

"Ha. Yes, I did. Immediately......, eh?

"You leave with a bare gesture as if you were about to expose your guilt and rushed off dressed. At that time, be careful that Lynn doesn't have any suspicious eyes. Destinations will be good around Rosina. The date is... right"

"Hey, wait a minute. I don't know about Rosina. Remote and secluded. How could I be in such a place..."

"Tomorrow would be a good day"

"Wait a minute!

Held yelled somewhat hysterically.

"Dear Mr. Illyweer. Are you telling me you're choosing Lynn over me?

Illyweer's eyes get much colder.

Held was giddy.

Because I realized I'd lost my word.

"Are you dissatisfied with Rosina? That's right. So how about Sunre or something? You've been complaining about boredom from day to day. Sunre is a battlefield, so you'll never get bored. We just ran out of magicians and they wanted a replacement."

"Battlefield......"

Held blues.

"It's a good idea for me. Now, Duke, call Herd's master for the process of taking up his position as a college magician."

"Ha."

Duke took a letter from Held's hand accusing him of Lynn.

"Duke......"

Herd stared resentfully at Duke.

"I'm sorry, but I can help you."

That's all Duke says, he starts getting ready for it.

"A reporter called Kalo who was finally in the earlier story. Leave him in exile, too. Anyway, there must be some guilt."

Illyweer said as I recall.

It felt like cleaning up one of the annoying procedures.

She again tried to stroke Karat's back and noticed that there was a hold beside her.

"Were you still there, Held?"

She looked at Held strangely.

It was no wonder he was there.

"Back off. Before any more good ideas come to mind for me."

Held looked into Illyweer's eyes, but he didn't see any emotions there.

That was like looking at a disinterested toy.

Lynn, who was incarcerated in detention, was suddenly released.

At the same time, it was heard that Herd had left this tower dressed up, and even that he had been stripped of his status as a college magician and residency in the tower.

Lynn somehow figured out what was behind it.

This time someone on his own behalf was sacrificed by whimsical laws, whimsical laws wearing strict skins.

Upon leaving the detention center, Lynn was put in a carriage by Duke, who picked her up, and taken to under Illyweer.

Illyweer has treated Lynn with the same kindness as before.

"Oh. Lynn. I'm so tired. It's like a dumped puppy."

In fact, Lynn had been trapped in detention for a while, so various places were thinly dirty.

Illyweer wiped Lynn's cheek with that finger.

"Mr. Illyweer. Why..."

"Lynn. Do you remember when you first met me in the Warcraft Forest? That's when the two of us took on the challenge."

—— What can you teach me? What can I learn from you? Let's think about it for both of us. ——

—— Lynn, what can you tell me? --

"Yes. I remember"

"The challenge wasn't over then."

That's what Illyweer said, smiling and showing.

Lynn was out to the Warcraft Forest to escape after finishing her thank you to Illyweer, telling her friends she was all right and getting the dirt off her hands.

It was already late that day so soon the sun went down, but Lynn continued to stay in the woods.

I knew wandering the woods alone at this hour was dangerous, but I still didn't want to be in the tower.

In the tower, as in the example, the residents under care were discussing the backdrop of this incident, as well as Lynn and Ilywia, all they wanted.

Lynn felt like she was pointing her back finger at her wherever she was, so she couldn't stay or stand.

Although we may encounter warcraft in the woods, we were able to escape all the annoyance that affects the human world.

Previously it was a forest that could not even come close for fear of warcraft, but now it was becoming the only place for Lynn to calm her mind.

Nevertheless, I must leave now.

The book of the night was already descending, and the usually colorful woods were about to be stained with pitch-black darkness.

All the colorful trees will eventually be dyed in the dark, no longer distinguishable between blue, yellow and red.

Wandering in these woods like this doesn't necessarily mean you won't accidentally get to the back of the woods, to dangerous places in the red zone, before you know it.

Lynn still wanted to be in this place, but I just had to give up and go home.

Fu and Atrea somehow missed her thinking about what she was doing.

When Lynn was delayed in her thoughts like that, she heard people talking from afar.

(What? I can't believe you work in the woods at night like this. Who the hell has what purpose?

Lynn disappeared and went to someone who spoke.

It was Dorias who was there.

(Mr. Dorias. What the hell are you doing here?

Dorias was speaking an unsophisticated language toward a black hill in front of him.

It was a word that Lynn didn't know.

It seemed like a very advanced Warcraft word and could not be understood by the power of Lynn.

Then the hill spread its wings suddenly, and rose up in a swoop.

What I thought Lynn was a hill was a giant bird.

(Is that... weird bird (ruff)!?

When the monstrous bird (Ruf), as giant as the mountain, plucked his wings two or three times and wiped out the trees around him (the giant tree that would grow in the woods would also have equated to the twigs if it had fallen on the monstrous bird (Ruf)), he took an attitude of drooling obedience towards Doriath.

(Wow. I can't believe I can follow a weird bird (ruff). But in the middle of the night, what the hell are you doing with a weird bird (ruff)...)

"Who? There you are."

Dorias shouted sharply towards Lynn.

"Oh, thank you."

Lynn exposed herself before Dorias.

"Oh, my God, it's you again."

Dorias stroked her chest down like a ho.

"You're a favorite guy, too. Wandering through the woods at this hour. Is that a suicide wish?

"Mr. Dorias, what the hell are you doing at this hour?

"Hmm? Hmm. Right. Well, there are only a few circumstances..."

Lynn understood his purpose by looking at the way things were said and ruffled in Dorias' back teeth.

The Weird Bird (Ruff) was one of the few warcraft that could fly to 200 levels of altitude.

I mean, he seemed like he was going to sneak off to the 200 tiers from now on, while he was the College Mage Instructor.

"No way. Are you going to the 200 hierarchy?

"Hmm, sort of. Falsaras has sealed off Alfld, and dimensional magic has made it impossible to travel. But this guy can withstand 200 levels of altitude."

"Ha. But Mr. Dorias. Do you mind? Go to the 200 tier. I'm still a college magician."

"Can you do such a chintara? Besides, if we keep this up, we might not make it."

"That's why I'm going. Oh, yeah, yeah. You can't say anything else about this. [M] If I knew, I'd go bump you myself."

Dorias laughed nicely and said in a tone neither joking nor serious.

"Ha ha..."

"See you later. I'll buy you something when I get home."

"Oh, wait a minute"

Lynn stopped Dorias from trying to get in from her neck to the weird bird (Ruff).

"Am I?"

"If you don't mind, could you take me with you?

Lynn was surprised herself by what she said.

I'm not sure myself why I meant to say this.

"Fine!

Dorias did not make one disgusting face, but rather said happily.

He seemed to think he had a good road ahead of him.
