338 Episode 331 Team Allen 1: To the East

Two days have passed since Allen and his party split into three.

Allen and the others are riding on a larger bird B summoner with the three of them.

This larger bird B summoner is a commanded summoner, and thanks to it, Allen, Dogora, and Cecil can all ride together.

Allen can also fly with the blessing of the bird A summoner, but activating flight consumes magic power and can be done while moving.

We sat and rode in a triangle, with the soil from the recovery potion generation set in the middle of the three of us, and Allen kept generating savory vegetables from the Grass C summoner all along the way.

There were four pillars of light in total, including the Elmar cult.

In the oasis city of Lucoac, which was near the dark elf village of Fabulase that Sophie had dealt with, the Demon King's army was trying to gather people and turn them into pagans.

It's a plan that will take decades, if not a decade, to build from the oasis and have a city.

The members of Team Keel have not yet arrived at the Pillar of Light heading south, but it seems that the Demon Lord's army has started a civil war and divided the country.

I don't know what they're planning, but it's clear that the Demon Lord's Army is doing a lot of dark work in the United States.

One big possibility is that the Pillars of Light plan may not stop at four.

It's not very good to think that there will be more pillars, but we don't have enough savory vegetables.

While Allen instructed us to generate, synthesize, and activate skills using high-speed summoning, Cecil and Dogora threw the fragrant vegetables into the grimoire storage beside us.

It's getting pretty dark already. Should we make camp?

Dogora looked at the setting sun and said, "Let's call it a day.

Yes.

Cecil agreed, and Allen lowered the altitude of Bird B's summoner.

There is a swampy area with a lot of water nearby.

Apparently, there are many water sources in this area, and the area is more of a swamp than a dense forest.

It's still decent around here.

Allen stepped on the ground to check if the ground here was dry and suitable for camping.

Once he was satisfied that the ground was not too muddy, he started to take more firewood out of storage.

As this is a swampy area, there are many insects crawling on the ground and flying in the air, so I put out the insect repellent charm along with the fire-making charm.

This insect repellant is small enough to fit in the storage compartment, and when you attach a magic stone to it, it emits smoke like incense to keep away various insects.

It's only an insect repellent, so it will attract magical beasts, but I also use golden beans to keep them away.

The three of us will be sleeping together without a night watch, surrounded by the summoned beasts of Bug A.

A large pile of firewood burns brightly like a campfire.

We used the fire to roast the meat on the branches.

It's good!

Gulp!

No matter what Dogora eats, she gobbles it up, saying, "It's good! and devoured it.

We had been in the Middle East all day and hadn't done much physical activity, but she was hungry.

He was biting into a piece of meat on the bone that Allen had pulled out of storage.

The Dogora's body was growing in length and width, as if it was in its growth period, and it was becoming thicker and thicker.

Rather than being agile and agile, Dogora is more of a heavy warrior who uses his size to his advantage.

I wonder what the other teams are like. Is Kiel's team just moving today?

Cecil checked the status of the other teams.

"Yes, they are. Kiel's team is only moving.

Kiel's team is on the move towards the southern tip of the Confederacy.

Krena should be happy to catch a horned rabbit.

The southern end is a divided nation, and there are fears of the Dark Lord's army.

Crenna is still the same.

(You too.)

Allen looked at Dogora, who was looking around the darkened area to see if there were any horned rabbits around her.

Sophie's team to the west has already started to save the oasis city.

He also shared information about Sophie's team.

He also shares with Cecil and Dogora the status of Sophie's team, which was able to start working earlier than Allen and Kiel's team.

I didn't hear or see the conversation between Sophie and King Olbers, but I was told about it later through Spirit A's summoner.

With the help of the dark elf village of Fabulase, Sophie had a shelter set up near her village, and went to the nearby city of Oasis for rescue.

The other day, when Sophie and her friends returned to check on the shelter, they were told by the Dark Elf elders that they had formed a select team to hunt the evildoers and that they would cooperate.

They would hunt the infidels, save the oasis city, and rescue the refugees who had fled.

Sophie, the elven princess, will lead this, and the dark elves will only provide shelter outside the village.

It seems that the Dark Elves have decided that leaving these facts behind is not good for their appearance.

They said that they would form the strongest troop in the Dark Elves' village and participate in the defeat of the evildoers.

Sophie smiled and agreed, "That would be very helpful.

About 100 of us can get on the Tam Tam (Mode Eagle).

Today was the first day of the joint front, and it seemed that they had come together to rescue the city of Oasis from being attacked by the infidels.

It seems Sophie is still the same.

Cecile's eyebrows furrowed as she listened to Allen's story, and she let out a single thought.

Cecil seemed to understand the reason behind Sophie's agreement.

"Hmm. Unlike me, Sophie's very calculating.

Yes, she is. So is Allen.

Allen changed the word "black-hearted" to "calculating".

I'm not sure what to make of it, but I'm sure it's a good idea.

The reason why Sophie accepted the dark elves was probably to show the difference in power.

The summoner of Spirit A shows Sophie and Merle's tam-tam, which shows the dark elves with overwhelming power.

There were a few scattered scenes where I wondered if it was necessary to give all the magic power to the spirits.

(That being said, King Olbers is no ordinary person. If he foresaw this and showed his willingness to help from the beginning, will it become a battle between Sophie and Olbers in the future?　(They've been fighting for thousands of years, after all.

At the first sight, King Olbers showed a map and a helpful attitude to the shelter.

Allen guessed that this was not simply a charitable response, but may have been for the sake of the future of the Dark Elves and to prevent them from being in a bad position.

King Olbers thought that Sophie and the others might be able to save the city of Oasis even without the Dark Elves.

After it started succeeding, the dark elves were not qualified to help.

I said no, and now it's too late.

And the only thing that remains is the fact that the Dark Elves' village left everything around the village to the elves.

The elven princess took the trouble to bail them out and did nothing.

Even if the Dark Elves don't care what happens to the city of Oasis and its people, they still need the city of Oasis and its trade in the future.

The fact that he had left everything to the elves and done nothing would give him the possibility of being tripped up in the future.

If the King of Olbers, who rules the village of Dark Elves, foresaw this, or if he sensed the possibility and showed his support from the beginning, Allen analyzes that this is not to be underestimated.

It's a good thing that you're not the only one who has a problem with this.

So, are we going to end up in the far east too?

Dogora said, "Let's talk about our teams.

Both Sophie's and Kiel's teams had pillars of light extending to the west and south ends, respectively.

So it seems that Allen's team is also extending to the far east of this continent.

I'm sure you'll be happy to hear that. I think.

Cecil also seemed to be curious about the place they were going.

I'm sure it's the kingdom of Culebure," she said, implying that she knew enough to add "that.

It's the fisher kingdom of Culebule. I heard that's where the she-beast princess is headed.　

This place is already a marshy area, but the place we're heading to is said to be a water kingdom with many swamps and marshes.

The country is called the Kingdom of Clevure, and it seems that Princess Shea told the priests of the church capital Theomenia that she was headed there, so Priest Nicolai looked it up for me.

We went there quite a while ago. I wonder if she's still alive.

The fact that the pillar of light is extending means that there is only a possibility that the evildoers are currently overflowing.

I heard that they are indeed with the elite troops of beastmen, so I think they'll be fine.

According to Priest Nicolai, the entire beastman force led by the Princess of Sheer Beasts was moved nearly a month ago.

If the pillar of light is overflowing with infidels, then there is a risk that they are colliding with the infidels.

The infidels themselves are of the C- to B-rank in terms of hexenbiests.

Some of them are even A-rank hexenbiests.

If they were ordinary people with no talent, they would be nothing but a threat, but since they are called warrior princesses and have troops with them, Allen thinks that they might still be alive.

I've never met a she-beast princess, and I don't know what she's capable of, so this is completely wishful thinking.

I wonder what she's doing there.　She's a princess, so she's probably at Makris's Holy Jubilee.

I've often heard her name from my older brother, Prince Zeu, even though I haven't asked him, but in the end I haven't been able to meet her.

I hadn't been able to meet her in Elmar.

I think I've played games in my previous life where I kept looking for characters I couldn't meet.

I've been looking for a character in a previous life game that I couldn't find.

I think not, but I agree anyway.

"Yes!　I thought for sure that the Kingdom of Krebbur would have Makris's holy jubilee.

Cecil says he's sure.

"Hey, talk to me in a way that I can understand.

Dogora couldn't follow the conversation.

I know some things about Allen because he was a squire in a noble family.

There are some things in the world a man is better off not knowing.

What?　What's that?

I'll tell you next time we're alone. Or ask Kiel. Maybe Keir will know.

(Never talk about the tale of Proustia or the tears of Makris in front of a woman.

"What?

Allen tells Dogora that there are certain things in the world that are forbidden to be touched.

Men are not allowed to talk to women about the "Proustian Empire" or the "Tears of Makris".

This seems to be common knowledge in this world.

In the homes of noble families, there is always a picture book called "The Story of the Proustian Empire," and from a young age, women are read this book by their mothers and dream about it.

If her memories of her previous life are correct, she has never been there, but she says that the Proustian Empire is a concept like a mouse land that she would like to visit at least once.

In the study of the Granvelle family, there were many books that were ambiguous as to whether they were based on historical facts, creations, or folklore.

When Allen entered the academy, he learned that the Proustian Empire was an actual country.

The tears of Makris, the holy fish, appear on the last page of the book.

It's a sad story of tears to hear and tears to tell.

I heard that if you want to buy the holy life of Makris, it costs several million gold coins. You can't buy it.

Allen and the others had heard that it was worth more than even the money they had worked so hard to save in the S-class dungeon could buy.

Some countries gave up their countries and lands in order to buy whatever they could, and as a result, the fishermen took over the country and founded the Kingdom of Crevelle.

The "Tears of Makris, the holy fish" in the picture book seems to be actually traded among nations as a jewel called the "Holy Jewel of Makris.

"Hey!　What, you're buying it? I'm at least sensible!　So there's nothing wrong with this country called Krebbur?

(Lie to me.) You had a twinkle in your eye.

(Lie. Your eyes were shining.) Cecil turns red and gets angry, so I decide to quiet him down.

Cecil also says that there is indeed a country that might be under attack right now, so let's get back to that.

Cecil asks if there are any problems like those seen in the west and south, such as the city of Oasis and the division of the Kingdom of Karbarna.

Isn't it bad here too? I've heard that the Kingdom of Culebrew was a vassal state of the Proustian Empire and that there was a lot of dissatisfaction. I've heard that there was talk of a civil war breaking out.

I heard about the Kingdom of Clevure from Priest Nicolai.

(It smells fishy.)

Allen said that if someone with power was seduced by sweet words in a country full of discontent.

So, could it be that the she-beast princess went to the Kingdom of Creville for some reason?

Dogora looked at him sternly, "That's not good.

That's the natural conclusion.

It seems that Priestess Nikolai took her troops with her not long after she heard about the situation in the Kingdom of Clevure.

I'm not sure what he was thinking, but I'll have to ask the she-beast princess, Allen added.

Well, then, the demon gods might be active there as well. We have to defeat the demon gods.

Cecil's crimson, fish-eyed eyes looked at the fire, and the expression of the girl who had longed for a picture book disappeared.

As if she was pondering something, Cecil drew herself and her heart into the battle.
