Where is the Bajirikokku fort?”Four people sat in Stephanie’s small apart the rooed hiht are and s to wrap the bandages around his head Cleo didn’t see to help, she just sat on the sofaStephanie started stroking her long hair, which was along her chest“Why did you think about asking me?”“You didn’t seem flustered”Orphen said softly, as he wrapped bandages around his right arm“The Alliance of Sorcerers building suddenly exploded——you were seriously injured, yet you didn’t panic when you awoke the next ”“……It was just a gas explosion”Stephanie said as she raised her hands, she had a look of fear on her face“Really? You seenition, the irons bars were torn froround and sent into the air A billboard was torn to pieces, and hit me in the head“……A piece of asn’t the only thing that hit me”Majic said behind hinored him“Don’t lie to uy that did it wasn’t human”Stephanie was taken aback, she raised her head“I-I didn’t lie to you!”“You sure?”Orphen’s tone was sharpUsing her fingers, Stephanie pushed her hair to hide her face——then Cleo approached her, she tightly held her hands Stephanie saw the girl’s sympathetic expression, she remembered that time when she comforted her“Huh?”Orphen didn’t understand“…………”Orphen didn’t want to press her tooCleo’s hands, Stephanie began to speak“Orphen, do you remember e first met?”“Yes”Orphen said softly“Twenty four fractures, you were seriously wounded, and eighty percent of your body was covered in lacerations and beyond repair Facial injuries——skull fracture, your internal organs didn’t suffer ht you to the clinic, no one thought you could be saved”“I was fighting people on the street ere trying to lynch me”Stephanie spoke with a hoarse voice, Cleo put her hand on her shoulderMajic almost jumped“A lynching? Master——I thought you said it wasn’t that serious”“On the surface, this town seems like a tourist city But what you see isn’t alhat you get Sure they’ll greet you like everybody else, but if you walk into a back alley……you ht not come out alive”“But……”Majic turned and walked in front of Orphen“Why would they do that you ask? Listen, the Heavenly Beings once lived here——but they’re gone now They hated sorcerers a lot, but that was hundreds of years ago But still they’re hatred lives on……”

“But why does such prejudice continue?”“I don’t know, maybe some people think the era which sorcerers were hunted……never ended”Orphen’s tone became sombre“It’s got to do with power, Majic Ordinary people are afraid of what sorcerers can do, not just the Royal Family They are all afraid of what they don’t understand, but then again……this city does have a history of persecution”“But——““The history lesson is over, move it”Orphen said as he pushed Majic aside“Stephanie When I carried you to the clinic, I sahat they did to you Why didn’t you leave?”“……I had to pay off the surgery And——““And?”Orphen askedStephanie looked at him“You left ot out of the hospital you disappeared……”“I had my own problems to deal with Besides, I couldn’t live a laid-back lifestyle anymore To be honest, I’ you spent six months in the hospital”Orphen though that his tone was too cold“I……”“Orphen, you shouldn’t say such things——”Cleo didn’t know exactly what happened between them two, she just didn’t want anyone to become upsetOrphen ignored her and continued talking“Stephanie I’ for a little clarification That Killing Doll threatened to kill all sorcerers in this city, that ether if we are to win……”“I can’t help you I didn’t receive special coh——”“But you have the knowledge”Orphen said, he was beco impatient“Right? If you know anything about this guy, you’ve got to tell me”“…………”Stephanie didn’t utter a word, Cleo let go of her hands——then as if she was sleep walking, she walked towards thePutting her hands on the sill, she rubbed her finger into the dirt and then stared at it“Theisn’t open……so there’s no way to do the cleaning”Orphen didn’t say anything, he just folded his arms as he looked at her backStephanie then spoke“I did try to leave the city, but I just couldn’t ignore the existence of——““Stephanie!”Orphen shouted at her, she turned away from him Then Stephanie spoke, her voice wavered“But you……promised me”“What promise?”Orphen asked, her face was serious now“You promised me……you said you’d never leave me”

His s out of the wall, then he sighed His noise itched in the moist air, and it made his throat thirsty Maybe he had a cold, he then rested his head upon the wallHis vision becalasses“I wonder rong”

“Muhahahaha!”Vulcan made lots of noise He was in a rooalithic infantry lined up“Oh reat, now I’ve got my very own ar in his boots, and after I’ve got rid of hihts on the world! And all who stand in my ill be smothered to death with a pillow!”Dortin didn’t take his words seriously, he just rolled his eyes Vulcan put his daalithic infantry and giggled like a madmanPain cahed a few timesVulcan heard hirily“Oh, poor baby Too bad for you there’s no medicine, so you’ll just have to die”“”Dortin didn’t say anything, he just sat on the ground His back shi+vering off the cold stoneVulcan continued to laugh loudly, he then waved his hand towards the alithic infantry“It’s naht——”The ical character stuck to theive them names He started to call them one by one“Dee fly, Tsukatikku, Tyler, Mike Stack, Kebinpeppera, shi+pure Kyato Sohofu……”Calling each naiants raised their hands“Brother, I said……”Vulcan couldn’t hear hied in his activities“Dakada, Heida, Monkey 1000——”“Brother!”Dortin shouted as he stood up——this ry look and turned back towards the alithic infantryDortin put his hands on his head and whispered“Brother, I’m really cold——and my head hurts”“How can you say that? When the weather’s so good”“Su in a bucket of cold water! It’s impossible not to be cold in a place like this!”“Oh, I’”“Where can I get these hallucinogenic drugs that you seem to be on, brother?!”Dortin said When Vulcan heard these words he just laughed“I Vulcan, the Mas the weather!”Dortin’s stomach rumbled“When was the last time you ate?”“I don’t remember! I don’t remember!”Vulcan’s attitude changed, he then folded his arhed, as he tried to hold in the pain of his stomach……No one could be comfortable in this room, even if it was a million square ht poured down froe white ball overhead——unlike an ordinary gas la into aThere was a hoarse, a rhino that looked like it was carrying a bathtub, and a couple of other ani in the middle of thee portrait of a woman, it was about five tireen pupils, she earing beautiful green robes Her face was slim and she looked very healthy, you could easily tell the painter put lots of effort into this painting Below the portrait was carved “Sister Isutashi+ba”, that was probably her name(Sister, she seems like a monk……or a priest)Dortin thought, as he stared at the portrait in the middle of the roomThese “ruins” as the Killing Doll called it, seem to have been here for hundreds of years——but there isn’t even a speck of dust Well, it wasn’t really spotless, there were traces of cleaning everywhere Just like——(I wonder if other people have been here to investigate recently)If this is true, then Vulcan has been listening to the Guardian of the treasure, and opened this place up(If someone else had come down here they would have claimed ownershi+p over the ruins Either that or that doll has taken care of any intruders)Dortin looked over at Vulcan, as thinking about so“Brother, where did the Killing Doll go?”

So crawled in the darkness under the canalSlithering along, it bounced back to avoid being seen by a passing shi+p The canal was generally quiet during the night, but sooodsFrom the south street ca for a moment, then fell silent“It’s ht”Orphen said, as he looked at a pocket watch he pulled froht wind blew through his hairThe sah Cleo’s blond hair, she nervously looked around The girl had no other clothes to wear, so she had to borrow money from Orphen to buy a new shi+rt“I feel sorry for her”“Who?”“Stephanie, who else!”

Cleo was serious, Orphen just sighed“She lives in a city where she’s not welcome, it must be hard on her”“But she’s strong”“That’s not what Ipeople like you can’t understand When you’re weak you’ve got to be constantly on your guard, looking over your shoulder because you know that someone out there will do you harm”“I know she’s strong, she’s not weak”“You still don’t understand”Cleo said in anger, it was like she was scolding a student“Do you think that because so that they’ll become a wrestler?”Orphen gave her a confused look“After the surgery, her strength decreased sharply”“I guess it’s plausible”“……Don’t you understand?”Cleo questioned hie the topic“You see weak, Cleo”“……When I was a child, I was frail and sick The doctor said——it wasn’t anything serious, that I would get better I was bedridden for quite a while, my sister would always coot better——but during that time when I eak, I couldn’t help but feel helpless It was horrible……”“But at least you got better in the end, right?”“……Yeah”Cleo whispered, then she sensed so and turned around to face it“He’s co”Orphen looked, Majic was carrying a huge lu in the ht you could see his frustration Orphen could hear e, then he started to complain“Geez, if Ito fall off……or worse”Majic said as he rubbed his feet A wry smile appeared on Orphen’s face“Exploitation of the weak is a natural thing”“……That isn’t right……”Orphen ignored Majic, he then began ruhts, ency rations, and——Orphen iage“Why did you bring Cleo’s sword?”“Because I told him so”Cleo spoke proudly, as she snatched the sword frorasp“And don’t think for one second that I’, I can be helpful too”“Sure you are”Orphenthat she should shut up He then continued to look through the luggageMajic looked a little nervous as he spoke“So, don’t I get a weapon?”“No”Looking through the bags, Orphen lifted up the foodstuffs and chucked it at Majic“Take this”“……I knew this would happen”“This too”Cleo also gave hihed“Anyway, take it slow”Orphen stood up and put both hands on his knees, then leaned forward Majic looked down the street There wasn’t a soul about, only the dihts that lit the road“Master sure is found of teasing people, I think he enjoys ry”Majic said as he carried the luggage Orphen pondered for a moment, then he made up his mindBut……“Can I come?”Cleo eagerly askedStephanie appeared below one of the street lights, her footsteps echoing in the night With her hands at her sides, she wearily looked through her purple glasses……“……To be honest, I don’t want to go back there Because——all those sorcerers from the Alliance of Sorcerers were killed there”“It’s not your fault, you’re a survivor”“Is that so?”Stephanie’s voice sounded tired, she tossed her hair back as she looked down the canal——Orphen also leaned forward, staring at the waterStephanie started to talk“Alenhatan——this city was once inhabited by the Heavenly Beings If you pick up an old map, you won’t find the current street names on it It was mostly a small walled city back then, called Bajirikokku……”

“Bajirikokku——the legendary monster?”Orphen said, then Stephanie lightly shrugged her shoulders“Probably It was a deadly s, about 1000 years ago Apparently they tried to use it to help the to history books, the Heavenly Being’s used it to defend Bajirikokku fort However, the walls of the city were destroyed in the fighting and the area became a desert But that battle proved to only to weaken the’s lost more than half of their people”“……A desert?”Orphen whispered, he then looked at the canal——it was full of water, the entire city wasStephanie just laughed out loud“It was called the Battle of Bajirikokku fort After the battle, the land beca’s used ain, they built a canal……then Alenhatan city carated all over the continent Then——”“Hundreds of years later, the Heavenly Being’s disappeared”Orphen finished her sentence, both of them looked at each other“The walled city, does parts of it still exist? The Killing Doll said the place to meet was theBajirikokku fort”Stephanie looked down the canal, and shook her head“No The walled city and the Bajirikokku fort were destroyed a thousand years ago, they don’t exist anymore”“Then ould he suggest that place?”“…………”Stephanie was silent, she then looked to her side She saw Cleo and Majic standing nearby“Are you brining those two kids with you? To……the Killing Doll”“They’re strong headed, especially Cleo”“They are brave……but obviously they’re powers are lier”“He ht not, but she will”Orphen angrily looked at Cleo“Don’t be like that”Stephanie said, she then put her hands to her sides“Anyway, back to the round part of the city, even when Bajirikokku turned the area to sand, he didn’t do round sections”“So……”“Parts of it still exist……under the canal”Listening to her, Orphen leaned forward and looked at the canal It was too dark, so he couldn’t make out much“Have you ever been down there?”“More than once, I organized a research teaht we could find ancient weapons and information, but ere too hasty……”Stephanie stopped talking for a moment“A week ago, the last time I went down there……we found it”“What did you find?”“……We thought it was just some puppet We took it back to the lab, and after several days of investigation……we found out it wasn’t just a puppet”“What do you mean?”“It was a Killing Doll——an ancient weapon created by the Heavenly Beings to hunt down our kind”“And that’s what destroyed the Alliance of Sorcerers building……”Orphen asked, Stephanie bit her lip“Yes We woke up a sleeping……killing machine, ere careless”“……But even so, why hasn’t it eliminated all of the sorcerers in the city yet?”“I don’t know All I reme’s a blur”“They seeic words”“I know But Orphen, it can use the Heavenly Being’s ic——you can’t win”“I’ve got a trick or two……”Orphen muttered in a low tone, he then waved towards Majic and Cleo“Hey! You two! Come over here!”Cleo ran towards hi behind her Majic was eCleo stood proudly and spoke“So, is you’re secret talk over?”“It wasn’t really secret”“……That’s good to hear Though next time don’t behind my back, okay?” Orphen put his arers“W-What are you doing, Orphen?”Cleo started to panic Orphen ignored her, he then whispered in her ear“Cleo I have one thing to say”“……W-What is it?”“I……”Orphen gave Majic a look, Majic secretly sighed He began to take out the clieOrphen secretly took the rope fro up Cleo He was so fast that she didn’t even knoas going on until it was too late, now she was angry“Orphen! What’s the big idea?”She didn’t get an answer Her whole body was tied with rope, one would think that it looked like sorin on his face, Orphen kicked Cleo to the ground“You’ve done well, my apprentice”Orphen said as he looked at Majic, asn’t as ecstatic“Here’s a list of things I took froe……”Majic murmured softlyCleo’s hands were tied, so she wasn’t able to stand back up She squire“How dare you! You lied to me!”“Who lied to you? I said you could co, I just didn’t say how far”“Fine! Liar!”“Oh, shut your trap Majic, get e”“Help! I’ kidnapped! Rape! Somebody save me——”Orphen stuffed a towel in her rin appeared on Orphen’s face, as Orphen stroked her hair“Wow, you’re very cute like this, Cleo”“Pervert…”Majic said behind Orphen’s back This naturally resulted in Orphen punching hiut“Watch your mouth, boy!”“Ouch……what next Master? What are we going to do with Cleo?”“Well, you can tie her to a tree……just don’t do anything”Orphen said, he was very harsh about his last comment Majic showed an expression of relief, and then he started to move“I can’t do this! I can’t leave Cleo in this state, misfortune is sure to follow me if I do”“Do as I say!”“I won’t! She’ll surely find soe on us, she’ll tie us upside down to a tree until blood rushes to our head Then we’ll be roasted over a fire and fried like marshmallows”Majic would clearly distraught, Orphen’s gaze fell upon the struggling Cleo“……I can’t believe this……”“Ugh——!”Cleo vigorously groaned“Forget it, just keep her here There aren’t that ht”“……But what if we run into some human traffickers?”“Well, hide her in an alleyway”“There could be wild dogs there!”

“Ugh——! Ugh——!”“Then hang here over the canal”“She’ll be bait for the fish, or worse……sailors”“Ugh——!”“Wait……”Stephanie spoke up“I’ll guard her”

“No I need you to take o shi+p, she should be okay until dawn”“There could be ots……Cleo would scream her head off”“Ugh——!”“Hey, throw her in here”Orphen o shi+p“This has to be done, Cleo”“Ugh——!”“So……Stephanie, hoe get to the Bajirikokku Fort? We can’t dive into the river just like Vulcan, especially with this luggage”“Ugh——!”“We should be able to get in through the sewers”“Coe”“Ugh——! Ugh——!”Orphen ignored the behind him for some time——but then he couldn’t hear them anymoreOrphen gave a sigh of relief, Stephanie was behind him, and now both of them picked up the paceOrphen’s figure disappeared into the sewer, but Cleo didn’t stopCleo now forced the towel from her mouth, the toas very moist from her saliva Cleo tried her best to move towards the direction which Orphen went, and shouted“Don’t leave me behind!”Thunk! She whacked her shoulder off the ground“How dare he tie me up with a rope! And you——I can’t believe you, you would probably let s Or worse, use me as bait for the sailors”She then started to think for a while“That’s it, its war! I’llhell——I’ll put thumbtacks in his bed, I’ll pout hot water on his s”She starteda list in her head“While he’s sleeping I’ll put sheep’s blood in his shoes, then I’ll paint his face too——he’ll want to wipe off the paint, but he’ll find that the towels are all soaked in lemon juice He’ll then try and use a kitchen towel to wipe his face, but the stairs will be covered in shards of glass Then I’ll strike, with all ht I’ll push him down the stairs……”Majic thought she had finished talking, but then he realized that the rope snapped She was now getting up, and she had the look of a thousand hell hounds in her eyes“Coe”Cleo wore a devilish grin, Majic was scared beyond belief“Nohere do we find a pig?”Then……They heard a bubbling sound——it was co Cleo frowned, then an explosion sent water flying into the air“Ahaahahaha!”A burst of laughter broke the silence of the night A colu a stone giant, there was a short stocky figure standing on its shoulder“……I have a very bad feeling about this”
