Chapter 40 (1/2)
The Fo
The sunlight was bright
In a port city on the southern edge of the Dragon Bone Continent, there were lots of goods and peopleabout
On a pier of the port, there was a youth gazing at the flow of people in envy
He wore short sleeved clothing and thin-fabric trousers Even so, around here, that was dressing warmly
Just a sword hung at his waist, and although he gave a slight enerally cal
Someone approached him
Dressed in a hooded mantle, the person coure he could easily ht it was probably a woman
“I’ve arrived”
Her voice as well, it was definitely a young woman
“Yeah, good work Going so far must have been unfortunate Fro part of our task…”
“No, responding to His Majesty’s su His Majesty trouble his own hands, we realize the shortage of our ability—”
“No, no, it couldn’t be helped”
The youth waved his hand dismissively
“There’s no choice but for a person who can do it to do it If that is true, I want you to be in the country too”
“Your kind words are more than this one deserves…”
The youth sh he was accusto separated for a short while These beloved retainers
“And so, since you’ve cos”
Just a little, the youth’s atmosphere became serious
“Here I go There appears to be a hu”
“The Ogre King—!? No way, the hero?”
“No, no, he should still be in the ih I say he was defeated, it’s not that he was killed For that reason, he wasn’t caught in ic”
If it were the hero, there was a high possibility of the Ogre King being killed due to stereotypes
Moreover, thewas one to let them know if he died If they didn’t periodically check, they probably wouldn’t have known even now
“After that, the party left and conquered Labyrinth’s labyrinth”
That fact alone was enough to shake the woman
Conquering the labyrinth, even for the Ogre King alone that was unreasonable Moreover, time is time
The millennium is near, this time
“The location is closer Is it the same person?”
“I don’t know the details well However, since it’s spread to this town, it’s a story of a o already”
Labyrinth City was one of the nonaggression areas for the youth For that reason, he had no choice but to rely on hearsay
“Having been conquered, Labyrinth’s power is sure to have fallen as well If you go now, you should be able to conquer it as well Then when you meet Labyrinth, I want you to hear the full story If you can receive even a little power froress from here on”
Though reincarnators were capricious, he didn’t believe they would obediently give away their power
“Then what about the person who defeated the Ogre King and those that conquered the labyrinth?”
The youth shook his head at the question
“Do not contact them However, do ask what kind of human it is Use someone, be beyond careful, make sure they don’t find out our identities”
“Should we deal with theeable?”
The youth serous tone
“First, the question is whether or not we could deal with the It would be too dangerous to fight there race… well, it ht not be a person, but maybe we could win them over”
If they’re not a person, they ht be a demi-human That possibility was taken into account
However, he didn’t consider it being a woman
“To be our comrade?”
“Is that strange?”
The woh
What she said was quite the opposite
“Certainly, that possibility exists”
Saying that, it appeared that she agreed At any rate, she held the words of her lord with respect
“Then, Your Majesty, I will immediately head to Shashmeer”
“Yep, I’ll entrust it to you Even so—”
The youth poked the woman’s forehead
“It’s not ‘Your Majesty’ out of the royal palace, haven’t I told you to call me by my name?”
“S-sorry, Ars-sama!”
The orously bowed her head, the sea breeze blew and exposed her face
Silver hair Dark brown skin Long ears extended from her head
A dark elf Aic
Since Ars quickly fixed the hood, none of the humans noticed
“Be careful Also ic You’re a scatterbrain sometimes aren’t you?”
Though she was treated like a child, she wasn’t displeased
Living for hundreds of years, she couldn’t match up to her lord that knew her from childhood
“T-then I’m off”
Her form disappeared Then, she rode the winds toward the distant northwest part of the continent
Seeing her off, the youth sighed slightly dejectedly and headed toward land from the pier
His work in this country had coe Since he erous adversaries
However, the following task would be different Not only adversaries, but all strong people on the continent would find out
Still, it was necessary to carry out The edy at its conclusion
