123 To the land of gypsy (2/2)

I don't know what Raina is thinking in the first place.

'Then why are you here? That's unusual.

He looks at Lugus, the owner of the room.

'Tona has come to consult with this Lugus. Lord Kuroki. To save my brother who fell to the Scorpion God's poison.

Rougas says as he smokes the flue.

A sweet smell wafts into the room from the flue.

Tona's brother is Toles, the god of power and battle.

What's wrong with that god?

Sorry, Tona. I can't help you, Lugus. I can't help you. I don't know any other way to make the antidote than to make the antidote that Herr Herkert left me.

I knew it. ......

Tona drools.

The look on her face makes me want to help her.

''It looks like we'll have to go to Gypsir after all. I hope Ishtia-sama and the brave men of light will do well. ...... I'm worried about Ishtia-sama and the others alone.

Tona says something that bothers me.

'A brave man of light?　What's wrong with him?

Oh, yeah. Kroki. To Kroki, they're the enemy. I'm sure you're wondering what they're up to. As a matter of fact, I heard that their companions have been affected by the Scorpion God's poison. According to our information, they're going with him to the Gypseal.

'He ......, hehe ....... So who got hit?

Oh man, I'm so upset.

'I don't know that much. I'm pretty sure it's a fellow female swordsman.

That much said, I can understand.

The white noise.

What do you mean, he's down?

And Le ......, the brave men of light head to Gypseal to help their friends?

Yes, but I don't feel comfortable with only Lady Ishtia. I'm going with you. 'Oh yes, will you go with me, Kroki?　I feel better when you're with me.

Tona says all the time that it's a good idea.

It's certainly a tempting proposition.

'Yes, ....... I've read a lot of books for Tona. I don't mind going with you ....... I'll have to ask Her Majesty's permission.

This is like helping an enemy.

If we go, we'll need Modes' permission to go.

And Coona is not going to like it.

What should I say to him?

”Ho ....... You're taking Kuroki with you. Then I'll tell His Majesty this Lugus.

Are you sure, Mr. Lugas?

Yeah, well, that's okay. And I didn't do it to help Thor's cause. I don't think there's anything wrong with having a meeting with someone from the land.

Then Lugus laughs.

'Well, thank you. 'Lord Lugus,'

Now it's settled.

Let's go to Gipsyll myself.

Demon King Modes

I meet Lugas in the audience room of the Demon King's Castle.

'Ho, you sent Kroki to Gypseal? I don't mind, but I don't mind letting the strongest dark knight go.

Your apprentice sounds like a lovely one, Lugus, doesn't he?

Yes, Your Majesty. Yes, Your Majesty, she's useful to us in so many ways.

Is that your study of magic?

'Yes, Your Majesty. The sorcerer's society Tona created has been of considerable use to us.

Magic is the art of using magic better.

It's not just a matter of time before you'll be able to use it, it's also a matter of time before you'll be able to use it.

And Lugas is the one who created the foundation of that magic.

As I told you before, the weaker a person's magical power is, the more dedicated they are to the study of magic. The humans are moderately good at studying magic.

Lugus says happily.

As always, Lugus' personality changes when it comes to magic and knowledge.

Lugus taught the basics of it to everyone.

It was more about the development of magic.

Because of this, witchcraft spread all over the world and many different types of magic were born.

Tona made a human named Saria an apostle and created a society of sorcerers and spread witchcraft to humans.

Those who learned of the magic began to study it themselves and created various kinds of magic.

Totoona had the results of their research collected by the Society of Magicians.

And Lugus gets the results of his research from Totoona.

'I see. ......'

'Of course, there are other reasons, Your Majesty. Lord Kuroki has long wanted to see the world. I thought it would be a good opportunity to go to Gypsiel.

'I see. And the other one is for Kroki?

Yes. Lord Kuroki is now a major figure in Nargol. It is good to know many things.

Lugas laughed as he said that.

◆Kuna, the white and silver witch.

The night Kuroki left.

He meets Raina in a dream.

'Totona's totally unnecessary, too: ....... Well, I had to help Toles anyway, but it's not fun.

I nodded at Raina's words.

It's not fun to see Kuroki going to help Shirone.

It's also not fun to be with Totoona.

But it's also hard to stop Kroki.

'You're not going?　Kuna?

You can't go there. Raina. I don't want to help save Cyrone, ever.

I'm not happy, but I can't help but look away, which makes me cringe.

”Well, of course. Well, yes, given your character. I just can't help you this time. And the fact that you're with Totona bothers me, but, well, it's a simple errand, so I don't think it's anything. ......

Raina let out a sigh.

'A simple errand?　Apparently that's not what you're saying about Tona.

He tilts his head.

Raina's story about Ishtia and Kroki's story about Totona are a little different.

He says that it could possibly be a tricky one.

I tell Raina that.

Oh, is that so? It's funny. That's what I've heard: ....... It's not good. Come to think of it, Lady Ishtia was pretty optimistic: ......

Hey, man. You okay?　What's that?

'I don't know. Maybe I should move on too, but Gypseal is not on its own.

Raina says anxiously.

I've heard that Zipshir is a special place.

Like Nargol, those of Elyos cannot easily enter it.

Coona is getting anxious, too. She regrets not going with them.

'I'm sure Kroki will be fine: ......

I still think Kuna should have gone too?

I think about that as I look at Raina.
