191 Episode 191 "The Strategy Of" Tenryu'S Agent "Was Safety First And Aftercare Was Also Included.".Txt
From Nagi's point of view.
Tattai! It's temporary!
We start running in the opposite direction from the soldiers, holding the mermaid Lumia in our arms.
Cecil's 'Ancient Language Magic Dense Fog (Fog)' is still in effect. However, only Cecil and I can see through the fog at will, with the authority of the surgeon and master.
That's why I can see the Marquis Hilmut and his soldiers cowering in the surf.
We'll have time to plan a ...... operation.
You've come ashore. We need to know what's out there.
In particular, the dark-haired swordsman among the soldiers - that could be dangerous if left unattended. He looks more heroic than ever with his fancy single-edged sword. Considering the fact that the same kind of guy was about to resist Leticia's "Forced Civility (Manner Geass)", he seems to have the same resistance.
If possible, I'd like to aim for an endurance battle, but I have a feeling that he'll usually break through the fog.
I hope there's a safe way to fight him: .......
'You have .......'
I have an idea.
I beckoned Rita over.
"Hmm? What is it, master?
I put my mouth close to Rita's beast ears as she came to my side.
...... the skills you awakened ...... in the beastman village the other day.
────!
Boku.
Rita's face turned bright red.
'Oh, that time ...... when me and Nagi ...... spiritedly rinku .........' ...well, you know, that ......
Rita, who felt that steam was about to come out of her head, held her cheeks, turned her head to the side, looked up, and then...
Hahahahahahahahaha!
She bit my palm sweetly, as if she couldn't hold back anymore. Hahahaha.
Her tail is twitching. Your ears are flapping.
...... Yeah. You remember that moment, don't you? ......
"......, I get it.
Rita let go of my palm and wiped it with the handkerchief she was holding by the way and nodded.
'With the skills that my master and I have created through our ...... souls, we can take out the bad guys, right?
Please. I have to be as safe as possible.
You don't have to tell me. I'm connected to Nagi. I'm already a part of the ...... master, you know.
Rita gulped and clenched her fists.
A part of me or ...... something, I'm kind of embarrassed and happy ...... hmm?
Rita is a part of me. ...... I am connected to Rita through my soul.
I'm sure you'll be able to find out more about this in the future. I'm not sure I'm going to be able to find out what's going on, but I'm sure I'll be able to find out.
"Ability Contact Analysis (Skill Analyzer)
Be able to 'analyze' the skills and magic you have received.
You can learn the effects and concepts of the subject.
However, you must make contact with your body or something that is an extension of your body (・・・・・) (・・・・・・).
...... I see.
So what do you guys do?
I looked at the two 'elite trainees' and said.
I don't feel any hostility from the swordsman girl or the girl in the robe anymore.
Just that they're both distancing themselves from us. They're either wary or ...... confused.
We are ...... 'Delegate of the Heavenly Dragon', we ...... prefer to see for ourselves what we can ...... see for ourselves.
They hesitated, and then they talked briefly.
I answered them and made a small promise.
Then we quickly began our operation.
"The Viewpoint of the Marquis of Hilmut
The moment the Marquis of Hilmut and the others rushed out with swords in their hands, the 'Heavenly Dragon's Representative' disappeared into the fog.
There was no response for a while ...... what he was thinking about.
''It's too much trouble to let ...... them get away.
'The Marquis. But in this fog: ......
One of the soldiers murmured in an anxious voice.
"Don't worry. I have experienced many battles in the fog!
With his double-edged greatsword in his hand, Marquis Hilmut shouted.
I've experienced fighting in the hard-to-move sand. I've worn light leather armor for this purpose. Moreover, I have commanding skills.
A skill that is the pride of the Marquis, the man who commanded his troops as a martial arts instructor.
Yes, "The Holy Swordsman" - no, Ix. Did I tell you that?
The Marquis Hilmut responded to the boy, who was only vaguely visible in the fog.
''Command LV6.''
The subordinates registered as 'under command' of the owner are given an extra modifier.
Attack +10% +2% x 'number of people under command'
Resist ability, number of players, plus modifications.
General Marker Display (The General Marker appears above the head of the Marquis Hilmut. Only a soldier under his command can see the general's markers. They are not affected by the surrounding environment, as they are displayed by magic.
My soldiers! You see the 'General Marker'!
「「「「「 We can see it! 」」」」
A shout went up around the Marquis Hilmut.
There were five soldiers under his command. But that's enough.
"And with my 'sword skills' such as the fog, as it is here - the 'Sky Splitting Slasher'!
The 'Holy Sword Master' swung his single-edged sword.
There was a sound of the air ripping and the fog around him, a few meters in extent, disappeared.
The shockwave created by the sword blew it away.
''If we cut through it like this and proceed, the fog is nothing to worry about.''
That's what Ix is all about. I look forward to when you have the holy sword in your hands.
I'm sure you'll be more useful to us then. For now, though, I've only been able to find the ones I can't.
The eyes of 'Holy Swordsman' Iksu caught the shadows of two people.
In the space where the fog had disappeared, there was a swordsman and a girl who was a wizard.
''The two 'elite trainees'?''
"Marquis Hilmut, my lord! Ix-sama of "Instructor Swordsman". I have a question for you!''
Is it true that this is a place that drives people crazy!
The swordsman and the wizard girl shouted.
'The Heavenly Dragon said. 'This land is a cursed place, and the trainees have not grown strong, but have been broken. Is that true! Was it not the people who escaped that were crazy, but us!
'It's a lie. You're telling us to 'die'. We're trainees!
Yes, we will not kill you. Soldiers, seize them.
The Marquis de Hilmut spat.
I shall not kill you for appearing before me like this. I will make a contract with you and use it to find the place.
"The Marquis! What have we done?
What's this I hear about trainees questioning me?
Marquis Hilmut's eyes narrowed and he glanced at the two 'elite trainees'.
''I'm going to beat that guts back. Your training is not over yet.''
In response to the marquis' voice, five soldiers moved.
They split off to the left and right and went to surround the two 'elite trainees'.
''No... this is not good, d*mn it! I believed in ......!
'Why? We weren't the best of the trainees! That's why His Excellency the Marquis has taken notice of you!
"...... you don't seem to know a thing about this training you don't know.
Marquis Hilmut gave a long sigh.
''Everyone will be stronger and more confident in themselves. You'll be able to look forward to your work. ...... Isn't that so!
'Yes. That's why we've all been working so hard: ......
At the question of the swordsman girl and the girl in the hood, Marquis Hilmut shook his head (headpiece).
''No, it's not. It's about learning to be cooperative and 'perceive' your boss' opinions.
I'm guessing .......
It's about understanding what we want to do and doing it without being told what to do.
'Is that what the Marquess is thinking? Ahead of time? How can I do that!
Hang in there.
'What if we move ahead and get it wrong?'
If you made a mistake, it's your fault.
I can't do that at ............." "You can't do that at .......
Why should I give you people any direct orders? Don't push your luck.
The Marquis of Hilmut pointed his great sword at the two girls.
''Can you call yourself a respectable member of society if you can't anticipate my intentions and bring the holy sword to me even if I don't tell you? Not at all.
It's all right. Just sign the contract. You'll be my tool. I'll give you the contract medallion. Trainees. Group AA's number one and two.
...... differently." "We're not called that!
The robe girl shook her head.
'My name is Tinnis.'
My name is Cologne.
We are no longer in training at this time!
The girl rolled away from the soldiers' swords - right behind her.
And then she screamed...
'We were wrong. Please. Please help us! 'Tianlong's Delegate'!
Godd*mn it!
What the...? Yikes. Gah!
A blonde beastie jumped out from right behind the girl and kicked the two soldiers away!
The two girls grab the hand of the beastman girl. The beastman pulls away from them and runs into the mist.
''Don't let them get away, 'Holy Sword Master'!
''The Winding Slasher! double-barrel!
Buh. Buh-buh.
The holy swordsman's sword dispels the fog. The shockwave split the sky.
However, it can't reach the beast girl. Her figure disappears as if she were dissolved in the fog.
We're going to enter the fog! Soldiers, follow me!
""Yes!"
Speaking of which... earlier, there was only one beastman among the figures we saw glimpsed in the fog.
The Marquis of Hilmut chuckled as he ran off with the soldiers.
'Then they've dug a grave! How dare they use the most mobile of beastmen to rescue the useless on this hard-to-move beach! Now their fighting strength has been drastically reduced!
""Let's try to track down the enemy all at once!"
The Marquis Hilmut's army remains in formation and runs on the beach.
This is officially a request from the locals. The trainees will come to their senses and tell everyone what has been going on here. Your 'training' is over.
'Uh-uh! Ughhhh!
Marquis Hilmut is grunting with his head in his hands.
It's going to take some time.
Let's make a prediction over here. The land is cursed because of the king's cruelty to the dragon. Nevertheless, the nobles have been gathering people here to do something about it. If you are looking for someone with resistance to the curse, then you are stepping into the land of the curse, and the one under the control of the nobleman who was planning to do this is the Holy Sword Master.
...... There's no point in hiding it. You're looking for the Holy Sword, right?
You. How do you know about that?
I won.
...... I'm not too happy about that. I feel like I've gotten some troublesome information.
............ It's the 'Delegate of the Heavenly Dragon' ...... that is to be feared!
Giving up, the Marquis Hilmut began to speak with a wince.
'...... There is a legend that is only passed down to high ranking nobles. The legend is that this land was once home to a giant being. And it was killed by a brave man of old.
You're talking about the "Earth Dragon" that "Kelkator" was talking about.
The ancient heroes killed it... ...... I am very angry.
I'm sure you'll be happy to hear that. I don't know why. There was no way to know for sure. This is the cursed land that invades the spirits of the ...... people. But...
The Marquis of Hilmut points to the dark-haired boy, who is still lying on the ground.
And now the organization we're working with has sent this Ix to us. This guy has the skill of the 'Holy Sword Master'. As long as you have the Holy Sword, you'll be the strongest in the world! Using this amulet, you must obtain the Holy Sword.
When you say that organization, do you mean ......?
I don't know the details. But this is what my agent at ...... told me.
Marquis Hilmut looked around from side to side, as if he was afraid that someone would hear him, and in a small voice...
"Whoever obtains the ............ holy sword will be able to learn about the organization. It will also be a sign of a high-ranking nobleman...
...... I see.
So this nobleman was going out of his way to gather people under the guise of training and trying to find people to find the Holy Sword, right?
"That's why ...... I was looking for the holy sword ...... and yet ...... this
...... I don't care if you get the holy sword or not.
I'm not going to interfere with that. And you're free to explore.
'If you'd done it yourself and not taken advantage of someone else, there wouldn't have been any problems, would there?
'Bollocks! What if something happens to me!
Hey, guys.
"Why should I risk stepping into the heart of the curse? That kind of thing would be done in a clever way by the subordinates! That's why I organized The Training Program, and tried to make them cooperative and perceptive. I also found one that is resistant to the curse. I was going to let a few more people explore it when it became available: ......
"You captured the mermaid to serve as a 'curse' purifier.
Yeah. And when we came, they fled as fast as they could. And these thoughtless sub-humans won't sing a song of purification unless I tell them to! At all!
............ I'm kind of getting sick of talking about it.
Both Cecil and Rita are looking disgusted.
At any rate, I understood what they were trying to do.
In this place──probably in the 'Dungeon of the Demon Dragon', the 'Holy Sword' that once killed the earth dragon is lying dormant.
They were trying to obtain it.
The reason why they were conducting the 'training' was to keep people away from this place and to find out who has resistance to the 'curse'.
For now, only two of the 'elite trainees' have been found.
Once there were a few more of them, they were going to search for the Holy Sword, right?
''I wonder if it's .......
I think the saintly lady would be disgusted to hear this story.
I don't mind looking for the holy sword, but I don't understand the idea of tricking people into using it for that purpose.
It's just a normal 'Seeking! One who is resistant to the curse! I think it would be a good idea to make a job offer. Around the 'Iturna Order', there are people with divine powers, so maybe you can get them to work for you?
...... This search for the Holy Sword is strictly confidential.
So that's what you're asking.
The Marquis Hilmut nodded in response to my question.
He nodded. "And when you hire someone with skills, you have to pay them a certain amount of money," he said, "If you ask them to come voluntarily under the guise of 'training,' it will be cheaper. If you ask people to come voluntarily under the name of 'training', the cost will be cheaper. The search for the Holy Sword is part of the training program. You don't understand the importance of employing people!
...... soudesca.
I'm done talking.
We've heard all we need to know.
We now have a good idea of the skills of the Holy Swordsman. We've identified its weaknesses. Now that we've uncovered the full extent of his abilities, it won't be too hard to figure out what to do about it. I'll inform the people at the resort later.
As for Marquis Hilmut...
W-w-w-w-w-what are you gonna do to me?
Marquis Hilmut began to rattle and tremble.
''It's the right of those who have been treated badly by you to decide that.
I nodded to the three people who were waiting behind me.
One was the mermaid girl who was trapped on the ship - Sonia's good friend, Yumir.
The other two were trainee girls with 'curse' resistance.
'As a representative of the mermaids, I think you have the right to decide what to do with this guy. What do you think?
...... don't come here anymore.
The mermaid on Rita's back said in a small voice.
............ Because of this person, the mermaid had to swim a lot. Everyone did their best to escape ...... worked. That's what mermaids don't want to do, that's why they don't ............ come here. I'm not going to think about this place, 'contract'.
We have no right to say anything at .......
The girl in the robe, Cologne, thought for a moment before she said.
The other girl also shook her head as if she missed it.
''I was also ...... flattered that I was an 'elite trainee' and I was defending myself against all the trainees.''
Okay.
...... I just want ...... to be able to, and I also want you to make sure that from now on, you'll be able to offer the terms of your job and sign a 'contract' to keep it. Also, if you can treat all the trainees who have had their hearts broken properly. Of course, I'll do my best to help you with this .......
With that, the girls of the 'Elite Trainees' bowed deeply to us.
''That's what I mean, Marquis Hilmut. Do you accept these terms?
...... gumbo.
The Marquis de Hilmut glared at us.
He clenched his teeth, looked like he was ready to grab us.
But his men are all unconscious.
He looks at the Holy Swordsman with a sideways glance, but his face has already passed through Aine's mop. She's been stunned by her 'Memory Wipe' skill. There are no more allies of his in this place.
What I was asked to do by the saintly woman was to 'reclaim the mermaid's dwelling place'.
As long as that condition is met, that's fine with me.
............ Okay. I'll ask for ...... instead. 'Song of Purification' for ...... please.
He held out a protective amulet on his hip.
The crystal in the center is about to be dyed black. Marquis Hilmut continues. He continued, "If it turns black, I will not be able to protect myself from the 'curse'. If your mind is attacked, it will be difficult to carry out the 'contract' ...... and.
'What to do? Lumia.
Singing.
The mermaid girl nodded lightly.
Come to think of it, mermaids are carefree and easily forget bad things.
It seems that since we made a 'contract', this is the end of the story for the Marquis.
And at the end, it was my idea to add a condition that I won't harass or retaliate against mermaids or trainees...
Lumia the Mermaid and the two 'elite trainees' discussed 'The Medallion of the Covenant' with Marquis Hilmut.
'Then we'll sing it!'
With Rita on her back, Lumia the mermaid began to sing.
'............ There were three dragons in the past ............ ............
And then...
After the "cleansing" was done, the Marquis got into a small boat and headed back to the boat off shore.
Now, let's finish up this one.
We have to investigate the cursed land and set up the silver purification board as requested by the saint.
Afterwards, the Marquis de Hilmut and the others returned to the ship.
This is what happens when you are useless!
Gathering his men in the spacious cabin, Marquis Hilmut shouted, "That 'Delegate of the Celestial Dragon' was attacked first.
The reason why this Delegate of the Heavenly Dragon beat us to the punch is because of your lack of cooperation. If you had only known what I thought and taken action earlier, none of this would have happened.
"...... The Marquess
Suddenly, one of the soldiers spoke up.
''What do you mean by 'Heavenly Dragon Agent'?''
What about ......?
The Marquis rolled his eyes.
He didn't know.
That Aine's mop that stunned the fallen soldiers had the ability to 'erase memories'.
The soldiers have already forgotten the last few minutes of their lives.
The 'Heavenly Dragon Delegate' and the fact that we were, by them, incapacitated.
''Fool! You are a bunch of incompetents. Shame on me for hiring you!
「「「「............」」」」
Now, get to your posts. Full speed ahead to town: ............ Hey, what's with the eye?
With a shake, the soldiers stand up.
They all raise their eyebrows and clench their fists in anger.
"You think you can get away with this attitude towards me for free ...... wait. Come on. Do you know your place? You know what happens if you disobey me: ......
No, no, no. No, no, no.
One of the soldiers said.
He holds the back of his neck and looks strangely refreshed and tells him.
'I was afraid of you a little while ago, ...... and now I'm not so sure.
I'm strangely relieved. It's going to be all right.
It's as if an invisible spirit has taken care of my worries.
The soldiers looked at each other.
If Nagi had been here, he would have explained it to them.
I'm not going to be able to say that I'm not going to be able to say that I'm not going to be able to say that I'm not going to be able to say that I'm not going to be able to say that I'm not going to be able to say that.
The soldiers who were forced to use it by the marquis were not guilty of any crime.
I'm not going to be able to tell you what to do with it.
As a result, the "fear of the Marquis" in their hearts disappeared.
You've been giving me crazy orders all this time, haven't you?
You can always go to ...... and curse me out, as usual.
I don't know how you can be like that when we're working so hard.
Slowly, the soldiers crowd around the marquis.
The Marquis's face is drawn up. He turns pale. He looks around to his left and right for help, but the 'Holy Sword Master' is still unconscious. The other 'Instructor Mage' is missing. His weapon, a large sword, is near the wall. The soldier who always lets you carry it is also approaching with you. Even if you try to escape, you're in a boat. I'm sure that even if I jumped in and escaped, I would still end up on the sandy beach of the "cursed land".
The marquis's body begins to tremble.
Use your position - as if the words ricocheted off as they were, he cries out in a faint voice.
Wait. Wait. I'm sorry ...... I'm sorry for me, but I gave you the training ...... no, I did not give you the protection, did I? No, it wouldn't have been necessary if I hadn't asked for the job: ...... Wait. I'll think about it. I'll even give you the day off: ......What? You want me to pay you the fees you've been owed? In one lump? Guys, that's not what you're talking about. I see the situation-- oh, wait. Come on. I, I was wrong. ────!
─ The screams of the Marquis of Hilmut resounded in the wide open sea.
