”Uh, that's over here”
”Mmm.”
”What do you say? You got it?
”Like this?”
'Yes, yes. That's as long as it takes. ”
”Okay.”
We were just cooking on a plain in front of the depleted forest. I don't know if I'll have time to cook when I get into the Wolf Plains.
In the huts and kitchens made of earth magic, fire magic, hydromagic and wind magic will be used to mass produce dishes.
Fran is helping too. I can play with something else, but for some reason, they pushed Fran's motivation switch. No, maybe by helping myself, I just want to get to the Devil Wolf Plains quickly.
That's how I kept cooking in the cabin, and the sound of the entrance to the cabin being knocked.
”Who? The brave men approaching here. '
In fact, there were several signs of adventurers wandering around here. It's just too suspicious of a stone shed that suddenly appeared on the plains. In the end, he ignored it and left.
If you try to get any closer, you'll notice a wolf sleeping in front of the door. Even with an obedience certificate, it's powerful, and those who were there for the robbery get away with it. If you tried to exercise your strength, that would be the main show of the watchdog Ursi.
But normally knocking means I somehow flexed out Ursi. There was no sign of a fight, so maybe you know him?
'The signs are for one...... The magic is pretty high. You're not a rush level adventurer. Who?'
”I'll see.”
”Oh, please.”
Fran ran a tattered little run and went to look at the door. Though an impromptu cabin made of witchcraft, the door is attached for once. Well, it just cuts the stone like that and makes it look like a door. If it's Fran's arm strength, it can be opened - or it could be a flaw.
By and large, I didn't envisage really using that door, and I was going to finish the dish in about two hours and get this cabin wiped out with earth magic.
I tell Ursi to throw it back, except in cases of extra urgency. Exceptions are when adventurers and travelers are chased away by warcraft or something.
But will there ever be a crisis around here? It seems strong to that extent.
”Fran, what do you say?
”Mm-hmm. It was Alistair”
”Huh? Alistair? Um? '
”Mm. Alistair”
”Er... you can come in for now”
I'm almost done cooking. All that's left is a wash or something, but that's fine later.
It was really Alistair, a divine blacksmith, who led me into the cabin.
”Hey Master. Long time no see.”
'Seriously, isn't that Alistair? What's wrong with you? In a place like this. I thought you were in the kingdom of Verios.
”It was supposed to... Sense the battle between the swords. I can't stay or not.”
”Oh, speaking of which, does Alistair have some sense of where the sword is?”
I guess that's why you also found out that I'm here.
”Being open makes it possible to feel it even from quite a distance. I know there was a reaction around the king's capital in the kingdom of Kranzel.”
The kingdom of Berios was a country in the northeast. If you do go for the King's Capital from that way, it won't be strange that the area around Aretha is a passage.
'So you're saying you're on your way to find out about the Divine Sword?
”That's the thing. Hey, doesn't the master have any information?
”Nothing I know, I'm getting caught up and dying. No, should I say it's about to break?
”What? Can you let me know more?
Hmm. Well, it's about the Divine Sword. You should keep it in Alistair's ear. In a way, it's kind of like the people involved.
'Okay. Then let's talk about everything we know'
”Helpful”
That's how I told Alistair about Fran's adventure play from the moment I got to the King's Capital to my trip.
……
”What's up, Alistair?
”No, I know exactly what Fran is up to, but we need to talk about the God Sword at heart”
”Oops, sorry.”
There was too much heat on the way, and I was just talking about Fran. Once again, I make them talk about what they know about Fanatics and the fierce battles that have followed since Groundlers appeared.
”Fanatics... I didn't know it was completely doomed and operational.”
Seems like he was half-destructed and couldn't use his powers.
”Still, Fanatics talked? As far as Atashi knows, there shouldn't have been any such function in that sword.”
”It's my feeling, but I think that was a collection of different human thoughts, integrated into Fanatics”
”I see.”
Exchange some information like that.
”Has Fanatics been completely destroyed”
”Oh, well, I'm sorry...”
I know Alistair has strong thoughts on the Divine Sword. If you destroyed it, how would you react... But there is no unexpected feeling of sadness in that face.
”... no. Fanatics, which have become merely a mess of disaster, cannot help but be destroyed. Besides, it's the corner of the Abandoned Divine Sword with my master. I don't blame you.”
He seems somewhat pitiful, but he's also convinced. I suppose you understand that when it comes to fanatics that have maliciously manipulated even their own equippers and become a mess scattering, there is no choice but to be destroyed.
