Chapter 182: The Demon Country and the Puzzle

「So you say that a Babylon’s ruins have been discovered? Where?」

『Yes It’s at the center of the deion』

I brood a little bit after hearing Kougyoku’s report

Dedom which closed its borders and where de ruled by a person they call a “Maou” and which doesn’t have a desire to have that much connection with other countries It is also said that the environment there is severe thanks to the special properties of the land itself Various species live there and reat deal They say it’s a terrifying land

Should I abruptly go to that kingdoin our household’s knights order

「You are asking about Zenoasu?」

The one I have summoned is a youth from the vampire tribe with pointed ears, red eyes, and pale skin His name is Rusheed and he is an oddball in such a way that he is not good with blood even if he’s a vaence and is apparently not entirely necessary in order to live

This guy has totally destroyed ht, and they eat garlic cuisine if it’s their preference They are calm in front of crosses and silver weapons aren’t necessarily needed to kill the else, they are also ith blood

It seems that aforementioned dislike of blood isn’t a personal trait, but is rather a general trait of the va someone into a vampire after, say, that person’s blood is completely sucked out doesn’t happen here as well

Vaeneration and other useful abilities, but it doesn’t quite make sense to e?

Furthernified households in Zenoasu, so I su It’s a riddle to h position came to our household At the time of the interview, he said that that he wanted to become independent

「Are there no huh they are athere normally Just because the country doesn’t want to proactively involve itself with the other countries doesn’t ners However, there are various hardshi+ps involved with living there, so there are only a few of them」

「Hardshi+ps？ Like what?」

「First of all, there are extrees, you see If I compare the hotness of s feel intensively cold siic beasts are nus up just as you step outside from the town FInally, it is about the s that are edible for hus like sli that there are orcs? The pigmen They are fellows that have a hu that looks like Zhū Bājiè Are they eating those !? Well, it s!

And there’s the afore I suppose there is a vastly huge difference in food culture between thehtly less objectionable food there, but things like “ood, no good Those are no good for me Okay Should ever I eat those, the visual aspect may be hopeless even if the food itself may be deliciously cooked

「It took quite a while for h there is cuisine that I occasionally want to eat as well」

Rusheed floats a bitter sree that it is hard to lose the so-called “hometown flavor”

Be that as it e for huo to the ruins of Babylon and take it Should I be found, it will be fine if I call h I cannot act violently There is no shogun there either

Okay, shall I try going there for the ti? It is a shahborhood of those ruins, so I decide to fly there by using [Fly] after transferring to Yuuron

I have decided to ask everyone to wait in the castle since I will go there with [Fly] this tiroup to take along so that I couldhappens, they alet them to stop

Thanks to the [Lottery] which Yu We then transferred with [Gate] to Yuuron where we had fought against Fureizu a while ago

That place is still a wasteland same as how it has been left before Since I have no business here, I spring into the sky and fly to the direction of Zenoasu with [Fly] at once afterKohaku float with [Levitation]

I have made us transparent with [Invisible] in advance because it will be troublesome if I am seen here

As we entered the skies of Zenoasu, there was so in our direction for so about them, I noticed that they seem to be a pair of demonkins whose upper half is that of a woman and whose arms and lower body are that of a bird

『Those are Harpies It’s said that the talons on their lower halves are considerably powerful that it can kill even a bear They shouldn’t do anything unless we challenge them』

It’s just as Kohaku have said The pair of harpies pass us by without doing anything and fly away Though it’s unlikely that they have seen anyone like us before After I aic barrier, I must make their scent disappear as well

Those were surely not ht Apparently, those called demonkins are people who are close to hu even if that borderline is murky That’s the basics It has been decided that the likes of Dullahan, who are incapable of h they are close to humans, and the likes of unicorns, who are far distant froh they are capable of understanding each other, are h I don’t understand that delicate line

「I suppose that we should take care for now just in case There seeain we fly to our destination When I look down, there astelands, rockyout Now I ah there are locations that more or less resemble towns, it appears that the soil hasn’t been leveled very e land Though I think it will be different if we go to the royal capital」

『It see and the ic beasts are numerous This place looks difficult for people to live in Though it’s nothing for species possessing strong bodies like demonkins… 』

In a certain sense, this place has become a country that definitely suits demonkins to the strictest sense

Nevertheless, it surely is hot here Does this place even have winter? The sun is fully exposed in its dazzle It feels like the sunlight is so in those skies I wonder, does it have anything to do with the density of ic elements here?
