I didn't think so, I was crying.
From the hand that touched the trunk, the thoughts of the old peach tree are conveyed.
With Ares' help, it reaches my head, not as a word, but as a video.
What a peach tree full of deep mercy.
I can't believe I keep thinking so mercifully of the toddlers of people who happen to be left at my roots.
Toddler delighted with peach trees in spring and in full bloom. A grown girl who joyfully chases flowering petals and smiles happily when wrapped in her little palm.
The old peach tree told me many other memories of him.
"At least one last time, deliver my peaches to that girl"
Even after the girl stopped visiting, the old peach tree continued to produce peaches indispensably every day.
One day, when the girl comes to visit, she wants you to eat.
I wanted to see the girl smile.
And so for years, decades, centuries, the old peach tree kept bringing the peach to fruition.
I gently stroked the trunk of the old peach tree.
The thick bark of a peach tree seems to tell the story of his age.
Is it like a deep wrinkle where people say it?
When I stroke it, I catch it in my hands and it hurts, but I'm not surprised and disgusted.
He seems to be holding Grandpa's or Grandma's hand, and this one kind of heals me better.
"You've been waiting for that kid the whole time. Yeah, fine. I'll be sure to follow her."
'Oh, my sweet man's child. But all I have to do is deliver this peach to her.'
"Yeah. Then you can't. You want to see her smile again, don't you? I want to see her eat peaches in the shade of your tree."
"Good job. Good job."
"Hehe, you're right. I'm greedy."
I know, but Ares smiles and nods.
"Ares, thank you"
"You're welcome."
Thanks to Ares, I was able to receive the thoughts of an old peach tree.
The old peach tree also shakes its branches with joy when she conveys her thoughts to me.
All right, first of all, I was able to drop one problem in front of me.
Then, and now hold Ares and see what the Mistrals are up to.
However, Ares' mouth told her that Fang (Kanba) was not in a good position.
"Bye, but you said one word, didn't you?
"Yep!
To the first unexpected voice, I instantly freeze my dusty heart.
"Yeah, what do you mean?
Tris asks me back with a wrinkle on my brow root. So, I speak again of the horrors of the Evil Nation.
I told the Listeers before I left the King's Capital of the Kingdom of Arms, but you joined me, Tris.
To someone who doesn't seem to have the knowledge of the Spirit, you have to speak properly from the rating of being.
The lower the spirits and evil tribes become, the more they resemble animals and insects.
Well, the Spirit or something, when it gets even lower, becomes just a presence of light, or only a sign because it doesn't have enough power to manifest itself.
Conversely, as the stature of being rises, somehow you get closer to what people look like, more beautiful, more successful, and better dressed. And as the appearance changes, spirits and evil people start to speak people's words.
"So what about that little girl...?
"Yeah, well, you were late for an introduction. This girl is Ares. Give me some of the goddess' names, it's the high spirits I named. It's like you can call me half-body, it's important."
"What do you want?"
"Shh, that's awesome, Mr. Elnea! After all, the Dragon King is half dead!
Tris, my rating is going up in vain in you.
Will you stay friends with me? Anyway.
"So, Ares. Evil people talked, what exactly?
To my inquiry, Ares coughs so cute.
And he reproduced the tone of the Evil Nation so as to imitate his voice.
"Ah, ah. Warekosoja, Jazokuda"
"Huh!?
Distorted pronunciation. Ear impaired voice.
An unpleasant way of speaking that makes you want to block your ears by accident.
Then it was Slutton who stuffed Mr. Alex and Louvent with a strong look on his face.
"That bear bastard wasn't human after all!
"No, stupid?
"Oh, that can't be...!
Mr. Alex and Luvent try to argue with faith in their intuition, while wandering over the power of Slutton.
But Slutton gets stuffed further by the two of us.
"What are you gonna do to me! If he wasn't a man, he should have killed him, but kept the Holy Sword back there."
Slutton, calm down.
"Can you calm down?" Listaire, you've been fooled, haven't you? That bastard recognized the Holy Sword as a dangerous being and took the Holy Sword from you!
And now Slutton stares at me.
"He's not an eastern magician. Sure, he was an awesome technician, but he's evil! You must be the one who explained to us that the Evil Nation is the enemy of the world. The enemies of the world will listen to us!
Apparently, because Ares' voice imitation was imminent.
Slutton has been watching the cave dwellers with suspicion since the beginning. There, Ares is imitating your voice. It is not strange that suspicion should reignite.
Besides, I sincerely think about my partner, Listea, and I'm furious in his place.
So you can't blame Slutton.
However, I have to tell Slatton again that mistakes are still mistakes.
"It's not, Slutton. She's definitely an eastern magician. And he's a real man."
"How can you be so sure, even this time of year?
Slutton stared at me.
Slatton's idea is that if the eastern mage was actually different, and the identity was evil, it would have been nice to have taken the Holy Sword, even if it had remained broken.
As a result of the wrong judgment, the wrong response, Listeir may have been pulled far away from the Holy Sword and found irrevocable when he was bad.
Because of that suspicion, I'm raising my emotions.
So, conversely, I spoke to Slutton in a sober tone, and to everyone.
"I want you to believe me. And don't doubt the judgment of Mr. Alex and Louvent. Sure, it's shocking that the armored evil people have spoken people's language. And Ares was surprised to imitate her voice. But no. She's not evil. And he's a magician to the east."
Where do you have the evidence to back up your words? To Slutton, who asks back, but I can't present evidence right now.
That's why I want you to believe me, I just have to complain.
Yeah, I don't have any physical evidence on hand, but maybe I can show you circumstantial evidence, when I almost opened my mouth.
"Oh my God!
"Niemia!"
Neemia, who flew in at a fierce rate from afar, descended as she panicked when she found us.
"Oh, my God."
"Niemia, what's the matter with you in such a hurry!?
Neemia also forgets to get smaller and says with a restless shaking of her wasabi and tail.
"The Demons are attacking."
Niemia was working so hard to find out what was going on with the Demons, wasn't she?
But we know what's going on over the eastern magician's crystal?
Thousands of demonic armies had invaded Snow Mountain, but the terrible spell of the eastern magician must have forced them into defeat.
I'll check the facts with Niemia. But Niemia shook her head and denied it.
"No. That was just part of it."
"Mmm, what do you mean?
Thousands of demonic armies, just a few?
Despite unspeakable anxiety, I put confirmation in Niemia.
Then Niemia uttered a horrible fact that she wouldn't expect.
"From the north and the south and all sorts of places, they're coming. They're all tens of thousands of scales. If we put it all together, it'll be over 100,000!
"Hey, what--!
We are stunned by the size of the demonic army, forgetting who the eastern magicians are and who the demons are.
But even more, Neemia has stuck with horrible updates.
"All the troops are coming this way."
"What, what do you mean?
I don't know what that means, and when I ask back, Niemia says it again with a supplement.
"At first, I usually came into the mountains. But all the armies headed this way from the way. Probably found a place for a magician."
"Become!"
Oh, no, stupid!
Where's the magician in the east?
That's impossible!?
How did the demons find out where the eastern magicians were?
Did they detect a remote spell?
But the attacked army shouldn't have even realized that was a spell in the first place. That's all, the remote spell of the eastern mage was horrible and extraordinary.
So why has the magician's place in the east been exposed to the Demons?
At what stage did you discover it in the first place?
I'll check with Niemia. Then further questions and surprises spread among us.
"The Demons changed course before they were attacked by a spell."
"Which means the Demons didn't inversely detect the magician's spell in the east to find a place, did they?
Really, did the Demons change course by identifying the location of the magicians in the east? My question, but Niemia snorts with certainty.
"Definitely. All the armies are marching towards us."
Why, only the word leaks out of my mouth.
Why has the magician's place in the east been known?
Why have several troops invading the Heavenly Mountains from all over suddenly aligned themselves and changed course?
Entering the Heavenly Mountains from various places meant that the Demons initially did not know where the eastern magicians were either. I think that's why he was trying to deploy his troops extensively and searching for them to smudge them.
It is now marching this way through the path of all the armies, or into the cave where the magicians of the east live.
How I searched for the magician's place in the east. And how did all the armies scattered all over the place communicate their will and chart their way together?
It's like, I don't understand.
"Maybe they were watching us being grabbed and moved by eagles?
"Yeah, I don't think so. 'Cause I was watching my surroundings carefully, too. So this is how they found the peach tree. Besides, I don't think the eastern magicians would make such a preliminary mistake."
I don't see how an immature man who could be carelessly and carelessly identified as his whereabouts could have stopped the demonic invasion for centuries.
So is there any other factor?
Mm-hmm, and I'm the one that bothers my head.
It was Alex who gave me advice there.
"Now, whether it's just us or this and the cause, I can't help it. Anyway, it's an emergency. We have to tell the magician in the east about this situation."
"Yeah, you are. Besides, in order to clear up Slutton's suspicions, we have to go back to that cave. We've got all the actors here. Let's all head back to the cave again to regain the Holy Sword!
Now accompany Neemia and Duranell, whom the eastern mage was wary of.
It's a little forceful, but let the dragon tribe exist. But let's get this story heard forcefully.
"The thoughts you get from the old peach tree, you talk on the move. And I'll answer Slutton's question. Come on, guys. Get on Niemia!
"Nyan."
I'm sure Slutton still has something to think about. Even Listea, pretending to be calm on the surface, should be full of anxiety on the inside.
Still, everyone gets rushed by me and gets on Niemia's back.
Only Duranell disappeared, dissolved in the shadow of Slutton.
"I'll definitely bring that kid in. Wait!
I set off in a hurry.
I promise to look back at the old peach tree before I jump on Niemia's back.
"Oh, and just one last thing. Don't you know your twin brothers who visited the Heavenly Mountains about 300 years ago?
Earlier, all my thoughts on "that kid" held by Peach Old Tree came through.
But there's only one more thing I have to check.
Yes, I mean Armuard and Yortenitos.
Then the old peach tree knew about the two of them.
"He was a good friend, a busy brother. I gave them peaches too."
"So do you know anything about the spell sword my brother had better?
"The Curse Sword..." Oh, you're right. I am familiar with that sword and the jewel of fire '
"Really!? That's an important sword, handed down from the twins of the day. But someone recently called me a thief..."
'You were. Forgive me, I'm the one who asked for it. That jewel had the power and beauty to attract people. I became afraid that if I left the treasure ball as it was, it might eventually happen that I couldn't take it back. So I asked the twins. "
"I see! Now I've solved the mystery. Thanks!"
'Be careful, son of a kind man. And please say hello.'
"Yes, it's up to you!
The last time I jumped on Niemia's back, Niemia flapped her wings and flew.
I answered Slutton's suspicions as promised on the move.
In the process, I also tell everyone the thoughts conveyed by the old peach trees.
If you untie the thoughts that the old peach tree conveyed to me, you will surely reach the identity of "the child". And if we find out who "that kid" is, it should lead to the dispelling of Slutton's suspicions.
Listen to me. Who is she? [M] And everyone who grabbed the clue to the origin of the Holy Sword returned to the cave where the Sorcerer of the East was never to dwell.
"Whoa, he's back!
Slutton gives you a brave name.
Then a shadow emerged from the back of the cave glowing his eyes.
But like last time, I don't get suddenly locked up and detained for physical movements.
Because Niemia is protecting you!
"Nyan."
Nevertheless, the production starts here.
Now I speak to the shadow that shines my eyes on alert in the back of darkness.
"Hey, listen. Neemia, an ancient species of dragons, has scouted the Heavenly Mountains. So, I figured it out. More than 100,000 demon troops are on the verge of finding this place."
"Gugu, demons, tribes. Joo...... man?
Apparently, the eastern mage doesn't know the unit "100,000".
"It means it's big enough to fill one mountain. It's many times the size of the army you destroyed earlier!
An eastern magician who makes too much, teeth-eating and tying noises.
However, because of Niemia's presence, she does not have the ear to hear from the beginning.
Though, I'm pretty sure you doubt this story is true.
"Well, check it out. If you were me, you'd be able to see the mountains through the crystals.
We wait here until we can get confirmation, so we urge the eastern magician to insist that he is not the enemy.
The eastern magician, half-hearted by our words and deeds, tried to use crystals to confirm the movements of the demon clan.
It was then.
"Kuku. That's unnecessary. It was a good front seat. But the curtain doesn't go up, it only leaves the aftermath"
"Huh!!
Before I move.
before the eastern mage reacted.
The space, it's shaken.
Behind the eastern sorcerer, an invisible "something" emerged.
"Gahoo!"
And the shaking "something" penetrated the eastern mage's chest relentlessly.
