61 Episode 61: Broken Castle and Kingsguard Knight

"Oh, I can fly! We can fly!"

"Yay, we can fly again!

The knights are flying in the sky with joyful voices.

Having fixed the feathers of the Knights, we were on our way to Sky Castle, where their Lord, the Sky King, lived.

"Oh, really, Lord Rex can fly in the sky without wings!

The Knights Commander, Mr. Carm, shouts a surprise to us when he jumps up with flying magic.

"Will Lord Rex and the others also possess some kind of magic item?

"No, what we use is flying magic."

"Flying magic!? is that lost magic!?"

While we were fixing everyone's feathers, we heard a lot from Mr. Carm and the others.

Are they knights serving a king called the Sky King, usually living in a place called Sky Castle?

And they usually protect the island from flying demons.

"And the feathers I got fixed are fantastic! It works amazingly well compared to before it breaks!

"And the speed is exceptionally high, Captain!

The knights are thrilled with the feather performance I repaired.

"It looks like you've been using it for a long time without maintenance. We fixed it and fixed it up and finally turned the old mechanism into something new. More or less 30% more performance before it breaks down."

"30%!? This is amazing!

"As soon as the feathers are fixed, it's cash."

Mr. Liliera seems to be stunned by the Knights whose feathers are fixed.

"Are you sure it's a good idea to fix it? It's performance-wise."

Ms Liliera's eyes say it's too much.

"No, it's better this way."

I whisper to Liliera softly.

"The fact that I was able to fix their magic items is all that matters."

"Did Mr. Rex ever fix it?

Mr. Liliera frowns and tilts his neck.

"Yeah, they can't fix it, but I can fix it."

"... oh well"

I raise my voice as to whether that is the case with Mr. Liliera.

"They can't fix magic items, and if Mr. Rex finds out they can fix it, they can't help it."

I smile and snort. [M]

Yes, if they find out I can fix their magic items, they won't be able to act hostile to us.

That means that even if this one can fight with all his might, the opponent will always have to think of a way out.

If in the future you get into battle with the astronauts, this will be a huge advantage, and even if not, it can be used as a card for negotiation.

"Lord Rex, you've seen our castle!

Ahead, pointed by the preceding knight, I did see the shadow of the building.

But what it looks like...

"Is that... a castle?

I saw it. I lean my neck against the words of the knights.

"Huh? That one?

Liliera, who saw the same thing, is equally puzzled.

"That's more than a castle... ruin?

Yes, what we saw ahead was a big, half-destructed building.

"Which, too, is part of the fort?

Yes, it was more like a fort guarding a stronghold than a castle.

"We are the castle where the king lives, Sky Castle!

The knights proudly proclaim.

Apparently it's really definitely in the castle.

"That's... the castle."

◆

"Is this using a broken fort as a first aid?

Having come near the castle, I can see the details of Sky Castle.

Sky Castle still seems to be using a half-destructed fort, and the collapsed part had been repaired with stone and building materials from the broken fort.

That looks like a first aid in time of war.

"Lord Rex, Lord Liliera, descend into the courtyard where you can see it"

As we descend into the courtyard following Mr. Carm's guidance, the feathered knights emerge from within the castle, as do the Knights.

"Oh, Captain Carm! Can illegal immigrants be captured safely?"

Speaking to Mr. Carm was a knight wrapped in decorated armor more than any other knight.

If you look closely, all the knights who emerged from inside the castle are decorated.

Probably a close guard?

"Captain Kingsguard, that's..."

I knew it was a close guard.

Mr. Carm takes his gaze off the Kingsguard and looks at us.

"Well, are those illegal immigrants unholy? Yeah, you look like a bitch down there, as expected."

What kind of face is a lower bitch?

"Oh, no, you're right..."

Mr. Carm mumbles.

I wonder how he's going to explain us to the Kingsguard.

I'm just looking forward to it.

"What's going on, Captain Carm?

"Well, he's... yes, he's a magic item technician for the journey!

"Huh!?"

What's the Kingsguard talking about? Seeing Mr. Carm in the face that

"No, it's true. You also know that our feathers have had performance problems over the years, don't you? But having him fix his feathers solved that problem!

"You said it was a repair!? Did you show the feathers you borrowed from Your Majesty to suspicious people who don't know any horsebones?

"Ugh, no, that's... yes, my men's feathers have become significantly unwell in the earlier departure. It was so visible that I couldn't use it any longer."

……

The Kingsguard captain frowns at Mr. Carm's words.

Half-heartedness, rather than disbelief. I feel all suspicious.

"I hope so. I told him. If you can really fix it, try to fix it. Trying to trust him if I can do that. As a result, he fixed his feathers brilliantly and, on the contrary, his performance improved enough to compete for one or two of our feathers."

When Mr. Carm looks behind him, one of his men rises up in the sky and flies at high speeds, showcasing complex aerial manoeuvres.

"Behold, our Knights are not only the wings that can fly like that, but also the Kingsguard Knights of your lord?

What? Mr. Carm's words contain serious sounds.

"Oh, my God... it's incredible, but it's certainly a different move"

"With all your skill, you can understand that you can't imitate badly."

The Kingsguard shifts his gaze from Mr. Carm to this way.

"Cheng Cheng, I understand that you are a magic item technician. But for what purpose did you come to our country? Let me know why."

Here I say why I have repeated it many times before. [M]

"We're here to find out about the ancient sky continent. And from all the astronauts I met on this empty island, I heard that this empty island was a remnant of the former sky continent. So we want someone who knows something about the upside of it to tell us why it happened."

Yeah, because if you're in the upper echelons of this country, you're likely to know information about it.

I honestly don't mean to get involved in the country, but I'm just concerned that there's just one continent missing.

I hope I can make a good deal out of fixing magic items.

"A fairytale sky continent? That's certainly a good story I heard when I was a kid. But what does that have to do with you being magic item technicians?

Well, there isn't.

I'm not a magic item technician in the first place.

He was also developing magic items in one way or another.

"Nothing in particular. I simply wanted to see the sky continent."

"Did you think that would make sense for such an obscure reason! Again, you are too suspicious. They'll restrain you and make you throw up for real reasons."

"Wait, Captain Kingsguard! They have useful technology. Don't be too abusive imitating me!

To Mr. Carm's plea, the Kingsguard laughs with his nose.

"What brings you to life? Even if you are a useful technician in the first place, what is it that you follow without restraint! If you can use it, you just have to throw it in jail and tie it to the chain so you don't get away with it!

When the Kingsguard waves, the surrounding Kingsguard knights surround us.

"Get those two!

"" "" Ha!

The Kingsguard knights pull out their swords and attack us.

Totally unsolicited.

"You can take them down, right?

Mr. Liliera asks with a spear.

"Yeah, I'll heal you if you get hurt badly, so it's no use."

"Okay."

Yes, this one responded amicably, but the other one locked me in a locker and told me to listen to what I had to say.

Yeah, you don't need any more help with this.

Hey, yeah, let's get you pretty sore.

"Well, you're going to turn your teeth on us! Our Kingsguard knight is the chosen knight, the most powerful knight in the Holy Sky Kingdom who protects His Majesty!

"Buffoo!

I shouldn't, I laughed unexpectedly when I heard that embarrassing name.

"You insult us!

Sorry. But that naming is obviously such a twice-old taste.

Ah, two times before the last life.

"Ha!"

The sword of the lighted Kingsguard knights strikes us.

Apparently this sword is a magic item too.

"Oops."

When I half my body and dodge the sword, I cut the Kingsguard's sword from its roots.

"Stupid!? My sword!?"

A Kingsguard knight stunned by the destruction of his proud sword.

You can't just do that.

I cut off the wings on the back of the Kingsguard knights, then cut off the armor joints and naked them.

I lost my support and threw the falling armor in two.

"Wow, the feathers!?"

"Oh, my armor!?"

The Kingsguard knights, whose gear was destroyed, scream.

"Spark Cloud Doh!!"

"" "" Ha ha!? ""

And the body of the Kingsguard knights, who had lost all their gear, electrically shocked their entire bodies and fell the moment they were swallowed by a small thundercloud and the lightning glowed.

"Shh."

Mr. Liliera takes advantage of the difference in reach to restrain the knights, look at the gaps and stick a spear in his thigh to make him immobile.

What do you care? The way Liliera fights is a sinister, but solid, way of fighting that cuts the opponent's mobility.

The Kingsguard knights couldn't move. The fellows got in the way and couldn't stand around well, and the moment the Kingsguard knight, who boiled his business, tried to attack him from above using his wings, he waited and went to the ground with his wings cut off by Liliera, who flew up with flying magic.

"Hey!"

I jump into the Kingsguard knights, sword and magic blow as I slip between them.

"All of you!"

"Wait, don't you dare attack! We're gonna fight each other!

After all, the Kingsguard knights, like the knights earlier, seem to have little experience in action.

At the moment of the turmoil, the movement lacked glory.

Well, it wasn't a good move before it was a riot.

Haven't you had much chance to fight because you've been escorting kings in the castle the whole time?

"Yeah, what are you doing! They're just two of us!

The Kingsguard captain exasperates, but the Kingsguard knights are not following our moves to improve their abilities with physical strengthening magic.

The Kako people, can't you use physical enhancement magic?

Speaking of which, I couldn't even use flying magic, and I don't feel sophisticated in the way these people fight in the first place.

If the descendants of the knights from the time the sky continent existed, I think it conveyed the combat skills of that time.

But you know what?

Does this also have to do with the collapse of the sky continent that I don't know about?

In the end, the Kingsguard knights were wiped out in minutes.

"Oh my goodness!!"

The Kingsguard swung up his sword and attacked me.

But it was easy to avoid an attack with blood on my head, and when I backstepped away from the attack, I cut off the sword that was slapped to the ground in excess of my momentum and further cut off my back feather from the roots.

"Wah, my sword huh!?"

"It's not just the sword."

I point out the wings that fell at my feet with my fingers.

After seeing the feather, the Kingsguard turns his neck and sends his gaze to the feather that should be growing from his back.

But there are no feathers there, and with both hands I begin to look for any peppers and feathers.

He then touches his hand between the shoulder blades of his back and touches the root of his severed feathers.

"is that the feathers..."

The Kingsguard captain turns bright blue and goes in.

"Well, Captain Kingsguard."

I smile at the captain of the Kingsguard. [M]

"How about fixing a magic item?

……

A bright blue-faced Kingsguard sees Mr. Carm.

Then Mr. Carm smiles very gently.

The Kingsguard captain who sees it drops his shoulder wide and drips.

And shaking his shoulders, he said:

"... please"
