Chapter 229: Where are the ring leaders?

We, who had escaped the Imperial Capital, went straight back to Volton in Valkyra Kingdom by way of Lomaria Kingdom.

Pope Wavaal who disappeared, Akira who was the other hero we didn’t see, and the first Imperial Princess Elizabeth. Their whereabouts remain unknown.

Then we learned of their whereabouts from the Great Spirits.

「The Southern Continent?」

「Yes, the continent popularly named 『Devil Continent』, where the Mazoku and Beastkin tribes primarily reside.」

We bid farewell to Heath-san and the Lion’s Fang in Volton, then went back to the Sanctuary to talk about the Divine Empire Sydnia dungeon capture.

「Even though it’s called a continent, it’s 1/3 of the size this continent, and I sense many small city-states there.」

The southern continent apparently had multiple fortress city states with populations ranging from 5,000 – 20,000 in quasi-monster nest regions all over the land.

「But, how could they have crossed to the Southern Continent, I wonder?」

Yes, they couldn’t possibly have a ship that wouldn’t be beaten by gigantic monsters of the ocean like ours. It’s unimaginable that Pope Warvaal and the Imperial Princess were the only ones that crossed.

「I dare say they crossed with a ship, however, the Evil Spirit likely did not allow the monsters to approach. Even we would be able to do it.」

「Even so, I don’t think it’s that many people.」

I learned from Undine and Sylph’s conversation that the Pope of Divine Empire Sydnia had abandoned his country and ran away.Finndd the newest novels on n/o/velbin(.)com

「......there’s also Triaria Kingdom’s issue, but Sydnia as a country needs to move quickly, refugees would surge to neighboring countries.」

Learning the harsh circumstance of the Southern Continent from Undine made me groan unintentionally.

The carriage I use could basically ignore bad roads. However, if even roads do not exist, then I have to think of another manner of travel. Moreover, we’re going to a quasi-monster nest where we don’t know where and when monsters would attack.

「I see...... certainly, even the carriage I made might not be able to gain that much speed there.」

「Mm, your carriage is excellent outside the norm, but the environment there is far too harsh.」

The Great Wind Spirit Sylph knew the detailed circumstances of the far off Southern Continent. The wind freely circulates the world, after all.

「......okay! Let’s make a method of travel!」

「You mean, a way to move on land?」

「That will also be taken into consideration.」

Though the Southern Continent is small, it is still too vast for searching for Sydnia’s ringleaders. Travelling dilatorily there while doing a search was realistically difficult.

「Those guys, could they be hiding in some country?」

「Hmm, I wonder. As you may expect, they wouldn’t usurp a city-state all of a sudden. It would be too conspicuous if they do. They may have even made a hideout within a monster nest. The Evil Spirit is there as well, as such, it would not be impossible.」

「That makes sense. They did make a dungeon too.」

If I think about it now, that dungeon may have been something they made to keep us confined as they made their escape. Their use of a young Japanese boy as a sacrificial pawn is something I can’t forgive......
