Chapter 188

When confining a wizard, he is blindfolded so that he cannot use magic and puts him in a room filled with tea magic stone powder. Even in the makeshift camp, it was the same.

Not a single bit of magic power moves, hands and feet are tied, and you can’t see what’s ahead.

There’s Coltman in the next room, but he’s not very interesting.

Since the passage of time was unknown, the days were counted by the number of meals. It seems like three days have passed. Maybe it’s because the situation in the imperial family hasn’t been sorted out yet?

‘It’s boring.’

Treason is the gravest sin. He will be imprisoned in the deepest part of the dungeon in Berry.

“I cannot go back.”

While I was lying still and enjoying the boredom, I suddenly heard a voice. It was Coltman.

He seemed to be having a conversation with someone, but the voice on the other end was so low that he could hardly be heard.

“Take Rockstrin out.”

will you take me out

After a while, footsteps came this way. There was a clang, the sound of an iron window opening.

“Locks.”

“… … sister?”

The blindfold came off and I could see the front. Black hair like mine was dancing in front of my nose.

It was Neil.

In a way, it was natural. Neil is also Aindar Locke.

As the word “destroying the old people” is commonly used, even if it is not the old people, the situation is basically inevitably bad. I wouldn’t have been able to sit comfortably in the workshop.

“You are fine.”

“I am always like this.”

“You’re still wearing it. Now, your hand.”

What Nael was holding in his hand was a ignorantly large cutter. The chains that bound his hands and feet were snapped.

“Where have you been?”

“As soon as the monster stopped, Her Highness hid it. I have everything prepared.”

“Can I go out?”

“yes. Maggie is waiting outside.”

I followed Neil and got out of the window. In the next room was Coltman, who was imprisoned like me.

“My father… … .”

“We can’t drive out the Jedo clan right away. If I get out, I cannot avoid the suspicion that I helped.”

“I guess so.”

“Even if I go out, it doesn’t mean anything. It’s obvious where to go Even without me, there should be no problem in stopping the monsters. The estate was left to Neil.”

Coltman seemed already determined. It was a meaningless action for Coltman, as he would not be able to return to Aindarlock even if he escaped.

I lamented and asked together.

“Is that the answer?”

“What more did you need?”

“This is probably our last conversation. You may never see them in your lifetime.”

Depending on the nature of the crime, visiting is sometimes not allowed in the dungeon in Berry. What would it be like to be accused of treason?

Of course, you can see it if you force yourself to see it, but I am also a body that is being chased.

“is it. Even when I was free, I didn’t see your face very often.”

“Your words make me very sad.”

“live well.”

“… … .”

He was about to say something more, but a smile appeared on Coltman’s lips.

“Yes.”

I answered briefly and turned around.

That was it.

“It is not urgent.”

“I won’t have anything more to say.”

“okay.”

I followed Neil down the long hallway. It was a space that was not normally used, and the inside was empty. Is it because it is a place where nobles are imprisoned? For a prison, it feels dignified.

I went through the hallway and climbed the stairs.

At each street corner, I could see several people lying down. I don’t think he’s dead.

“I fell asleep.”

“A kid named Nashara came to the workshop often. It’s the incense he made.”

Burnt incense was visible near the entrance. Blowing away with wind magic, it disappeared without a trace.

Isn’t that a pretty dangerous thing for something that was easily overlooked? It looks like you made something weird.

“What are you going to do next?”

“I want to help Her Highness, but I think it would be impossible realistically.”

The child knows how to do it well.

Now I have no money. I don’t know anything, I’m just a mediocre wizard who can only use magic. That’s it.

There is only one thing I can do.

“I need to find a friend.”

* * *

Thanks to Ainim inheriting a person, she was able to escape through the back gate of the imperial family.

There was also a secret passage in the garden at the back gate, and upon exiting it, it was a forest far away from the imperial palace.

“His face is still the same.”

I was able to face the people who were waiting with Derek’s voice.

“Rox!”

“Sir Rockstryn.”

“Brother Rocks!”

Ainim, Hira, Freed, Lamu,

It was early morning when we arrived at Summer Turge, and since we set off right away without being noticed, it was the welcome faces of the members we hadn’t seen in a long time.

However, it also bothers me that there are people who are not here. Baeller and Jerome are nowhere to be seen.

“What about the other two?”

“My condition has improved, but it is still difficult to move.”

“I’m glad.”

It was good news to hear.

In the end, it means everything is safe.

Anxiety was always there. There were times when I calmly pondered on how far to give up and how far to compromise.

I didn’t come this far because I was good at it, but seeing it makes my heart choke.

No, this is not the time for me to show weakness.

“Why is everyone dead? I feel good because I am free from now on.”

“I’m worried that Rox is going to pass out somewhere else.”

“Because I think it will be difficult to see the sutra in the future.”

“If I can afford it, I will come to see you sometime. Don’t be too grandiose.”

It’s embarrassing to say goodbye. It’s because they’re only kicked out of Rongrult.

The demonic spirits’ successive attacks have already caused huge losses. In particular, losing most of the Guardian Wizards in the Abyss was great.

Ainim said it was practically impossible to send troops overseas to kill them.

This is because I have already been recognized as a 7-star wizard by the world.

“I won’t even chase you, but you have to be careful at the gateway.”

“sure. For a while, I won’t even come close to Rongrute.”

“Take this.”

Then, Hira held out something.

A dark liquid of unknown origin contained in a fist-sized vial. At least it didn’t look appetizing.

“It’s a dye.”

“Aha.”

No matter how non-Rongrut, it was too much of a burden to walk around with the label of a traitor.

“If it doesn’t come in contact with oil, it won’t wash off.”

“What color is it?”

“It’s brown.”

It was the most common hair color here. Even if it’s common, it’s about one in five people.

“Take this too.”

And what the child put out was a very familiar hoodie and a plain-looking bracelet.

[ITEM]

Shy Scholar’s Hood

: It has the effect of lowering the attractiveness of the wearer wearing the hood. However, it won’t work if you’re too close!

– Charm Lv -1

[ITEM]

tacky leather bracelet

: It has the effect of lowering the attractiveness of the wearer wearing the bracelet. However, it won’t work if you’re too close!

– Charm Lv -1

The hood was in my room. Although the bracelet was a new item, the description was almost the same as the hood.

“Is this also a magic tool in Rocks’ room? Something similar was in the imperial warehouse. They say he made it invisible.”

“It will help a lot.”

“Still, Rocks will stand out.”

It didn’t take long to say goodbye.

“then… … . It’s over.”

“Yes.”

If I hesitate for no reason, it will only leave me with regret. I said with a bright smile.

“I’ll send you a letter when I can afford it.”

“I will be waiting for you.”

“You must send it!”

“But don’t expect too much. Everyone is doing well.”

Neil had to take charge of Aindarroch, so he stayed here. It was just me and Derek leaving.

Derek was also waiting, so I quickly got on the horse-drawn carriage. It was absurdly luxurious, but the driver was a horse-drawn carriage, a court wizard.

“Rox!”

It was a child’s cry.

I wanted to look back like a chimney, but I just put my hand out the window and waved it. It’s not like I called because I wanted an answer.

Booung, the mana engine made a sound and the horse-drawn carriage began to speed up in earnest.

It took about an hour to get out of Guando and reach Gado. I was staring blankly out the window.

“Kernya is pursuing Euryl Mashhma.”

As if he thought he was ready, it was Derek who spoke first.

“Neither do I.”

“… … Yes.”

Derek Mage Deholt.

Kernya Mage Marju.

Mad Mage Slowtalk.

The three court mages of Rongrult. I heard that the double Mad was missing, so it seems that he was summoned once.

“Kill as soon as you find it. I don’t know where Mad Nom is running, but he’ll be joining us soon.”

that’s a big deal

To get rid of the fairies that threaten the safety of mankind. Auril, who has already slaughtered thousands of wizards, has no choice but to be put at the tip of their staff.

“The three of us are not all. Since Deus is said to be dead, two from Liden, one each from Credia and Enpyrian. They all went after them.”

“Is that so.”

“I meant to know.”

All 7 people Derek mentioned are probably 8-star wizards.

“Where are you heading?”

“You guys are young. It’s my job to search beyond the northern barrier. I want to catch a monster with both sides. It looks like it will be around for at least a year.”

Tsk tsk, Derek clicked his tongue.

I said nothing.

The horse-drawn carriage ran for half a day. The sun was setting. Darkness comes quickly on the forest road.

After all, Derek can fly away, but he seems to be taking care of me. I thought so.

“Get down.”

kicked out of the audience

But Derek got out of the wagon as well. It was a crossroads.

“Can you drive?”

“Yes? yes what… … .”

It wasn’t that difficult to drive a horse-drawn carriage because I’d been watching. Think of it as a small car.

“There was a villager who said he saw a white fox flying to the northeast.”

“… … that.”

“There must be something to point out.”

Anyone who hears it will dismiss it as nonsense, but if you say it’s a white fox, I know it. I tried not to show off, but it was an unexpected surprise.

But that wasn’t Derek’s intention.

“I kept my mouth shut. They will be dispatched to Mash, but since there is only one person, it won’t be easy to find.”

“What does it mean?”

“listen carefully. that’s a disaster Even if we all worked together, we never know what would happen.”

O’Neill, who was at the garrison, died even though he didn’t try to attack Auril. Right now, Auril means that she is in a state where she cannot distinguish between her and her peers.

“So, if possible, you should find it first. Find it and solve it somehow. That’s for the best.”

“… … It’s not like I have a sharp edge.”

“So if possible. If we are willing to die, we can kill. Eh, damn it.”

Derek’s body floated into the sky.

“Be alive.”

“thank you.”

“Thanks is a piece of cake.”

I bowed my head.

Derek left the wagon and me empty, and really blew off to the north.
