Trinitas Mundus

Lesson 18: Mastery

Tria calendar year 3026, the night of January 26.

Luna and the others entered the largest mansion in Kufili, the town of the Middle-Ghost tribe.

Behind them were more than a hundred Middle-Ghost people. Initially, they were disgusted with Luna, the son of the moon, but were struck by her speech, which showed empathy with them, and even followed them to the hall of the chief.

Yucca Ventura, a ghost tribe in ruling the town over this situation, could not hide his confusion. Although the Ventura family is a relatively small tribe among the Middle-Ghost tribes, it is a prestigious name for the Council of Chiefs, i.e. the supreme decision-making body of the Ghost tribe, which consists of the main chiefs of the Ghost tribe.

As its lord, I felt that this disturbance was condemning me, which was very unpleasant, but I could also understand what the people were saying.

Many warriors had also marched from the Ventura clan for this operation, but none returned. Of course, the warriors of large tribes such as Budosco and Bindler have not returned, but Yucca is passive about this operation and believes that the tribes who insisted that they should actively march out should pay a greater price.

(I did agree, but we just got involved. But don't be too harsh with total annihilation. From what I heard, I heard that Vaino at Budosco was the result of a rampage... the words "Son of the Moon” attract the hearts of the people. If we treat it roughly here, there will be cracks in the bond of our clan. On the contrary, it is not always the case that those who use your son come out in an attempt to chase down Nong...)

The runoff of Vaino Budosco, a middle-guy general who pigged in the Periclitle offensive and created a cause to fit into Ray's trap, was the cause of defeat, but he carefully welcomed the Lunas and hosted a welcoming feast to avoid developing them into his own responsibility issues.

And while I praise her to be in a good mood, Luna was stunned by words that were too clear.

(You returned the palm of your hand because the people in town have come to respect me. Well, fine. Because that would be easier for me...)

"I thank you for the welcome," Luna told Eagle Deep, recalling the movie queen she used to see, turning to Kufili's leading man,

"We know that you are not wholeheartedly welcome. But I'm the same. I was forced to be brought here too."

Yucca and the others are stunned by the words and look like Varma said something, but Luna controls them with her eyes.

"But everyone in town welcomed me wholeheartedly. My heart is a little bit, but I feel closer to all of you in Sochius. That's not for leaders like you are here, but for people who think of me from the bottom of their hearts. I pray that the hearts and minds of all of you out here and the people of this town will not be separated."

Luna suggested that she had more popular support than the leaders here and should follow her.

(I don't know what it is, but I'm supported by the folks... with a little more allies... that? What am I doing? ……

Suddenly returns to me, confused.

(Is someone manipulating you? I can't believe I'm thinking this... No, I'm not being manipulated. Because the magic of the mental system shouldn't work...... but why?... back in the day, yes, maybe a movie or something I saw when I was in Japan?

I tell him that he shouldn't be able to manipulate himself, although I don't think it's possible with his personality.

"You can't watch the Kufili people get any more unhappy. Despite the fact that people's lives are at stake, the Zalesche people simply give orders in a safe place without going to the field. As a son of the moon, I don't want to admit this. Sochius' ideal should have been“ to give equal opportunities to all ”. At least those in Zalesche are losing sight of the ideals of Sochius…"

To Luna's words, spoken in a slow tone, the Ventura family gradually drew in. That was the same for Yucca, the chief.

(Your son is right. Budosco and the bindlers are losing Sokius' ideals. He treats us like ministers who are supposed to be “comrades"...)

"... bad for Varma here, but the same goes for Luberna. The Moon Demons do produce many good spellmen. That doesn't mean it's honorable. Farmers who sweat on their foreheads and plow their fields, soldiers who shiver in the cold of winter to protect their companions from demons… they are equally honored. The word" comrade ”in Sochius stands for it…"

It was enough speech, but the Ventura clan was completely fascinated by Luna. At the end of the speech, the following faces fell on one knee and swore allegiance.

"Our Ventura family dedicates their allegiance to your son. Please forgive me for my repeated disrespect."

"The allegiance of the Ventura family, I did receive," Luna smiles, remaining half-trans. The grin had the piercing of the queen and the mercy of the Virgin, and Yucca and the others were on the floor with their foreheads in tears.

Only one, Varma, was afraid of how it was going.

(It is good that your son is admired by the ghost tribe. But the system in this country, which has lasted two thousand years as it is, could go crazy......)

Though Varma thinks so, she goes in tune with Luna's words.

(But could that be a bad thing? Indeed, as your son said, the leaders only give orders from a safe land. The witch (...) didn't do anything for me just to order me too. If only one of you had accompanied me, my mission would have been accomplished more easily. Even if we were apprentices... maybe we didn't want to reduce the number of those who defend themselves...)

She had stopped honoring Elise Nortier, the moon witch, though in her heart.

If you were observing Luna calmly, you would have noticed that the Dark Spirits, in response to Luna's wishes, are wielding the power of charm, but the act of observing Luna, son of the moon, seems disgusting to Varma and stops paying attention.

She herself, as a user of dark attribute magic, was alarmed that if an act affecting her spirit were carried out, she would soon realize it. But the spirits of darkness invaded her spirit slightly without clearly exercising their power. As a result, Varma never noticed her emotional changes.

At the end of the welcome feast of the Ventura clan, Luna and the others are guided to the sumptuous rooms provided. When she enters the room, Luna sits down on the couch and exhales with a hoo.

(I'm tired. But it seems to work. If you take a ghost tribe on your side and make it look like a demon tribe, you won't be able to perform the ritual that used me. How to round up Varma later...... this guy looks comfortable with me so far. But since it's going to be "God's stopover," maybe it just looks that way. If I try to interrupt the ritual, my attitude could change...)

"I'd like to take my time here tomorrow," Luna told Varma.

"That would be nice. Because they're going to snow blow tomorrow. And unlike Lerice, no one here is hostile."

Luna nods at it, "But is that okay? We have to get to Luberna quickly," explores Varma's thoughts.

Varma shook her neck sideways and replied, "No, because it's harder to move around and be physically disabled". Luna replies, "Right," but she indulges in her thoughts.

(Speaking of tired, time seems to buy. But if you buy too much blatant time, they might be forced to take you. We need to be careful here......)

Luna wasn't uncomfortable that she was being thought of things more calmly than ever. Until a few days ago, he said he was so uncomfortable.

The next day, the people of Kufiri, driven by the desire to meet the "Son of the Moon” at a glance, gathered in front of the chief's mansion one after the other. Noticed it, Luna stood in front of the people, even though it was a snowstorm, and gave a speech, just like the day before.

It was a speech to the effect of disputing the leaders of Zalesche and Luberna and further wanting to be together for the ideals of Sochius. I added this at the end of it.

"... join me in upholding the ideals of Sochius! For all people to enjoy the peace of the Dark God (Noctis) … Noctis is with us. It's not like you're in the Temple of Luberna!

It was also a speech that could be taken as denying the Moon Demons who presided over the sacrifice in the Temple of Darkness. But no one, including Varma, has any doubt about it.

January 28th.

The Lunas set out on a line for Zaleshe, the capital of the ghost tribe.

Behind them were more than a hundred medium ghost warriors.

Around the same time, in the desperate wilderness (Desperationis), the Rays were walking northeast.

Last night's attack by the Ghosts interrupted my sleep, I haven't been able to recover my health, and they're all silent. Ray, who consumed his magic especially at night, also had the position of leader, who was nearing his limit mentally.

Fortunately, yesterday's snow stopped and my vision is open, but the wind I blow is so cold that I think it will slash and tear my skin apart.

In the meantime, Ashley had more room than the others. Unlike the Beasts, she was exempt from night vigilance because her eyes did not work at night, and because she was able to take a rest of what was not enough.

(It's a dangerous situation. Even those Uno lords see fatigue... especially Ray's condition is dangerous. I'm walking with my strength, but it would feel like I'm about to run out of strength and magic. But when I say rest, I don't rest... what should I do...)

Without realizing that Ashley looks worried, Ray quietly puts his foot forward.

(I'd like to go 30 km (Kimmel) in a day, if possible. thirty km (Kimmel) in the two days to yesterday. So if you keep that going, it will be the twenty km (Kimmel) average of your daily goal......)

The Unos guard their surroundings and proceed in the formation that Ashley and Stella protect Ray and the Little Ghost captives Lauri and Darvé. I was able to go well that morning as well.

Of course, there was no substitute for a dangerous situation where demons like Ankou or Okoze, turned into rocks, suddenly hit me with a big mouth open or an orgasmic skeleton appeared, but there were still no demons that hurt my spirit, nor had I encountered a dangerous trap like an eruption of gas.

Proceed more than fifteen km (Kimmel) in one morning cup and have a warm lunch by setting fire to it with branches of wood picked up while walking. After a break of about an hour, he starts walking again, but succeeds in advancing the distance of thirty km (Kimmel), which was his goal, without being hit by bad weather like yesterday.

At night it was Ashley's suggestion that anything but Ray would turn into a sleepless turn. Uno and Stella disagreed, but Ashley persuaded them to say this.

"Something like last night doesn't always happen to the Beast alone. If me, Lauri, and the three Darvées take turns and join the sleepless turn, we should be able to warn them, unless it's an effective means for at least two races"

"Right...... I wanted Master Ashley to follow Ray, but I couldn't help it," Stella agreed. Uno also reluctantly agrees with the best choice.

Ray was the only one, "It's bad to rest just me," he tried to get to sleep himself, but Ashley told me, "You rest is your job," and I pulled back.

The same ghost (ghost) appeared that night as last night, but the moment I heard the sound, covering my ears with a cloth prevents mental attack and is repelling without difficulty.

At first Ashley worried, "I don't suppose you can hear me at all? Are you okay," she asked Stella, "If you start to hear it and respond immediately, it's fine to hear a little noise," she replied. The next day, Ray heard the story and made a hypothesis.

"Maybe, but maybe that sound is something close to a spell. So if we can be vigilant before it's activated, it won't work very well."

Ashley said, "I see. If you get hit unintentionally, you can also prevent it".

Ray said in a bright voice, "I slept well yesterday. Much easier, and let's hang in there today," he says, looking around at the faces of everyone.

There was also room back in Uno's face, and when he thought this was okay, suddenly, the little ghost tribe Darvé blew blood and fell. A silver metal like a sword was popping out of his chest.
