24 The wizards struggle. (2)

* Continuing from Teo Eilenberg's viewpoint.

The speed of the carriage that was falling on the uphill starts to increase again. Apparently he crossed the pass.

I was recalling the words of the Guard Knight while listening to the rattling and crackling wheels.

The knight takes out the folded paper, looking at us who nodded at the prince's request for cooperation.

The map was spread on the old desk. To the north of the Kingdom of Nebel is a steep mountainous region, bordered by four countries.

He said that the shortest route from our country to Skelz would be to go over the mountains.

No matter which route you take, it is impossible to get out without going through the neighboring country, but if you go along the mountain path, the time to pass through the neighboring country is minimal.

Less danger of notice than going on a flat road. However, there is no escape, so the possibility of using another route is not zero.

That's where the turn comes in.

Drop three magic stones on Lutz's palm. He gave him a fireball and he instructed him to resist and hit the sky.

If you are on a mountain road, it will take about an hour to start climbing. If it is a flat road, go through the city. The view is likely to be obstructed, so it is decided to judge by sound, ground condition and angle.

Load a visible weapon to keep the enemy off guard, and never use magic when resisting.

That's why Peltz has a fire attribute magic stone that he can never use. Just in case, I was nailed not to join.

When I was detained in the castle, I didn't do much resistance to make them believe that I could control them with a collar.

I guess she gave up on dripping the princess together because of her worth. If they were together, they would easily think that they could take each other hostage.

In the first place, the princess has the Prince's Highness attached to it, so you can't pick it up. Today's princess's room is the safest place in the country.

The Prince promised to protect the princess.

So we did everything we could and struggled. fight.

go home. To the place where the princess waits.

“…………”

Hiyari.

Something cold touches your wrist.

Lutz, who is turning her back, cuts the rope of my hand with a small magical blade of ice. I slipped a lump of ice into my palm, so I made a cut in my rope by pretending to turn my body, then collected heat in my palm and evaporated.

After that, just wait.

If you proceeded on a flat road, you would have changed horses on the way. But on the shortest route, you have to go straight.

Horses are already nearing their limits. But there's no time between breaks. Probably, the pick-up will come.

If those who are waiting near the border of the Kingdom of Skelz and the Kingdom of Vint are hired for money, we need to get to the castle.

I want to avoid it. The chances of escaping decrease as you approach the core.

However, it is not yet decided. In the first place, will the King hand over the toys (we) we have obtained to those who do not know when to betray? When you cross two nations, the pursuers may not be able to proceed so easily, and they may bring their trusted people ... for example, their direct control units. Is it shallow to think so?

"Coming soon"

"..."

It was Niklas who muttered He pushed the hood lightly by hand, watching the flowing scenery and squinting quietly.

"The long-awaited time has finally begun. Shame of poverty, and the goodbye to the name of the Countess and his back finger."

I can't find any guilt or regret from my feverish gaze. His eyes shining like a young man with hope for a new life seemed stranger to fit the scene.

"……monster"

"what?"

Niklas picked up Lutz's muttering in a cold voice. But Lutz is not scared when he looks down, and looks at Niklas with cold eyes, as well as his voice.

"You are not human"

"Huh, what are you saying ... you're a monster. Lutz Eirenberg"

"No, you're the same. You've betrayed everything, your hometown, your Lord, your family and your companions, you don't regret your shards, you don't feel the pity of conscience. Probably not"

"..."

"Well,"

Niklas silently kicks Lutz's shoulder. With no expression, the man stepped on Lutz's moaning head.

"It's ridiculous. Is that shit like my family or companion? The garbage that just pulls on my feet, and the scum that doesn't approve of my excellence ..."

Put your strength on your feet as if you were pushing the soles with grits. The eyes of Niklas who murmured were vacant, and that was crazy.

"... What is the lack of a place? It was the word I told myself."

Alas, Lutz throws it away with a smile.

It's fine that it doesn't hurt or show any signs of being scared, but who said he was fanned.

Niklas' hand rests on his waist sword.

It will not kill you, but it tastes bad. What to do, what to do.

You can't use magic. Do you block yourself or provoke me to distract you?

At that time, I was upset and tried to get up.

, The carriage swayed and stopped.

Apparently they arrived at the delivery site.

"... I survived."

Niklas, who vomited abandoned himself, lifted his hand from the sword and turned up the hood and went out.

Looking back, I weakened and exhaled long.

"... Lutz, I'm chilling."

"... Because he's mockery."

"Is it a kid?"

Peltz turned away without any reflection. This shit.

"Get out!"

Immediately after I was poisoned, the men who came into the carriage ran down the carriage as if dragging.

The area around is still dim, but the dawn is near and the eastern sky is beginning to turn white. The area near the foot of the mountain is surrounded by trees and has poor visibility.

When checking the surroundings, the black men turn their backs and go out.

"Have you come? My Lord is waiting."

The strong men are waiting.

A knight wearing armor and straddling a splendid war horse. The number is about ten.

There are many things that seem to be quite strong, which should be said to be the country where the war mad rule. However, it did not look excellent until the brain mass. I saw it as a push-out type.

Well, if you work on Matomo, you won't swear loyalty to that crazy king. The people should replace the fools, who look only at expanding their territory, without regard to their lives.

"Well, come on."

A knight stands on both sides and his arm is taken off.

Perutz was similarly detained.

--that moment.

"Freeze!!"

A harsh voice resounded.

With the voice as a signal, the hiding people appear all at once.

The surrounding area is surrounded by soldiers with swords and bows and arrows. Until then, the uproar spread to the Skelz soldiers.

"This is the territory of our country. You cannot enter without permission."

"Stupid ... Why is the Kingdom of Vint !!"

Niclas by his side lost his complexion and muttered stunned.

Yes. Surrounding soldiers' flags are not the Nebel Kingdom, but the flags of the neighboring country, Vint Kingdom.

In addition, the armor worn is not the garrison of the frontier, but the one of the knights of the royal capital.

The man, probably the captain, looked up at him with a sharp eye and spoke to the boy who guarded his back.

"... Your Highness. I'm sorry to get involved in this situation."

"No. It was me who forced me to go with the march."

Your Highness, the boy who was called was a master of angelic beauty, as depicted in religious paintings.

Golden (Konjiki) hair spun from the sun, blue eyes. If you look only at the face, you will find that the princess is messy, but the impression you receive is totally different.

Blue, like the deep sea, felt something like a terrible dread.

"I can't overlook a devotee who tramplifies the territory of another country. Regardless of me, please fulfill your duties. However, the two boys are apparently detained. Please protect them."

The voice of a calm voice that seems unlikely to be a young boy tells the second prince of the Nebel Kingdom, studying abroad in a neighboring country-Johann von Velfart.

"Impossible, this is ridiculous."

Niklas was upset by the appearance of a person who should not be in such a place.

A line of sweat slides down his cheek, who opens his eyes astonishingly. The hand on the handle of the sword was shaking in small steps.

Niklas, who retreats due to unrecognizable gait, is taken by the root of the tree.

The eyes glanced at the staggered Niclas, and Prince Johan narrowly looked down. Put your finger on your chin and mute for a few seconds, trying to remember something.

And after blinking a few times, he said, “Oh.

"Niclas"

"!!"

"... You know, Your Highness?"

"Niklas von Bureau. I'm a guard knight of our country .... Niclas, why are you there?"

"..."

Niclas takes a breather, looking at the blue to see through everything.

You seem to be desperately looking for thoughts, but is he aware?

It is no longer clogged no matter how you struggle.

A military exercise was held at this time, and the second prince of Nebel was miraculously accompanied by the march.

Did you bother choosing this path on a number of routes, or arriving at the pick-up location before Skelz arrived?

Everything was as we had discussed in advance.

Peniclas moved to the script streets without his knowledge, and was only danced by the Highness guarding his sister at Ojo and the Highness in front of him.

"The colors of the boys ... the same as the mage's children in the statements of my brother"

"..."

"Why are they detained? Why are you with a thief? Answer, Niklas von Bureau!"

The shoulders of Vikri and Niklas shook at the words of His Highness, who hunted further.

Despair shines in his eyes as he descends. Niklas chewed on his lower lip, trembling like a scolded child.

"... I do."

"... Did you become a soldier? A trace of the venerable Countess"

"... That's annoying! It's annoying!"

Niklas shouted as the prince muttered in disdain.

Shake your head just once to shake off something, and reach your Lutz.

"!"

Pull out the sword in a violent motion and push it against Lutz's neck that has drawn.

"you……!!"

"Don't move! What's wrong with this kid!"

Niklas barks, exhaling wildly.

I groaned like a menacing dog and stared at the surroundings.

"You are coming!"

Similar to Niklas, Skelz soldiers pulled my arm wildly. He is pointed at his sword in the same way and is pushed out in front of His Highness.

`` If the lives of these guys are regrettable, do not approach! ''

This is a villain line that is easy to understand.

I'm sighing because I'm too amazed. But my buddy never read the air.

"It's bothersome ... don't shout at your ears"

Lutz mutters slowly, distorting her face and holding her ears.

I can't help but bitter smile at Lutz, who unravels the rope naturally.

"... you!"

"Are you stupid? I don't think we're the ones who are not as hostal as we are."

He shook his shoulders as if he was stunned, and sighs with his daring gesture.

Blink slowly, one. Lutz's eyes, which were opened again, turned silver-gray instead of normal indigo.

A dull sound is heard and the Niklas sword is blown off.

"Now !?"

At the same time as Don and Lutz stepped on the ground, something like a thick fog crawled underneath and instantly frozen Niklas' feet.

"Why is magic ...?! Wasn't it with a control !?"

"Oh, this?"

Point at the thing that fits on your neck, Lutz asks. When he released the clasp with his finger, Sole came off easily and fell to the ground.

"As you can see, fake"

As Lutz smiled like a model with a smile, he moved his hands as he digged, and the countless ice blades that appeared appeared attacked the men.

"Wow oh oh !!"

At a glance at Lutz rampaging to relieve resentment, I exhaled for a long time.

"I'm the first to go on a rampage."

"... Hyp !!"

I cut the rope to my heart, and the heat collected in my palm burned the remains of the rope.

The man who was restraining me took a distance to push me away.

Knead the surrounding air to burn off the fire. The men screamed at the pale flame that burned on my palm.

"This, these guys ... monsters ... !!"

Shivering with a pale blue face, I and Lutz bothered at the same time to the words leaked by the man.

He turned his gaze down and told him to vomit.

"A monster?

"You wanted that monster, aren't you, the masters?"
