43 Episode 43: The Dark and the Crusading (1/2)

”Hey, what happened!?”

Now something incredible has happened in front of me.

Suddenly a horizontal tornado appeared and blew the demons in the front.

Not just our Knights, but our adventurers are baffled by the sight we have now.

Isn't that what adventurers do?

No, in the first place, a horizontal tornado or something. It's impossible.

I don't want to see such an insane phenomenon.

”Hey! Can you do something like that with magic!?”

I ask the court wizard, who had refrained by my side, for an explanation.

……

But the wizards just stood still with a flashy look.

”Answer me!”

”Ha!? Oh, no, I'm sorry”

The wizards, scolded by me and finally returned to me, bow their heads.

”I don't care about that! What do you think!? Am I magical!?”

But the wizards shake their heads beside each other.

”No, I've never seen magic like that. Perhaps, you can't use that kind of magic in the magical kingdom of the Four Heavens, in the wind of Lancaster.”

The wizards take the example of the wizard of the magical giant Angelt, but I don't know if it would be awesome to be explained like that! Damn, this is why he's an expert.

”So you're saying that the tornado earlier is not magic?

But the wizards also shake their heads beside each other.

”No, I've never even heard of a tornado that occurs sideways. Probably a magical force.”

”Either you can or you can't!

Oh, no more, this is why we can't have a conversation with the experts! Come on, man!

”Probably a lost item with the power of Lost Magic”

”Lost item!?”

Lost item, it's a magic item with terrible power, created by ancient civilizations that perished a long time ago.

Very rarely is the value of a sole excavated from ruins and the like immeasurable, and is assumed to be worth thousands of gold coins and tens of thousands of gold coins depending on the rejection object.

And I'm telling you that there are even items inside that are worth more than they can be replaced with gold.

The Wizard says such a lost item was used in this crusade.

”Lost Items…”

If this were just a crusade, the existence of Lost Items would have been a joy.

Anyway, this massive crusade has confirmed the appearance of many S-rank demons.

However, there must not have been any Lost Items on this crusade.

Because...

”This crusade will be troubling if you don't fail...”

Yes, because the massive outbreak of demons currently occurring around the Wang Capital is all caused by this me, the Knights of Towmel Tuccano and the Marquis of Tuccano...

”Use the scouts to find adventurers using the Lost Items of the Day”

I give immediate instructions to my deputy.

Because anything that interferes with my plan needs to be eliminated in a hurry.

”And as soon as you find it, finish it and take the Lost Item.”

”Ha!”

My immediate men are on the move.

They are like-minded to me.

In other words, it is the presence of the side that deliberately causes a mass outbreak of demons.

”I don't need extra impurities for my beautiful plan”

◆

”All right, good things. I was able to deceive the Knights eyes and move them out of their sight. And then we'll prioritize the demons that seem as powerful as possible.”

Ahead of the magic trigger, I set my sights on the S-rank demons and begin my action.

I already have information from the Alliance on the demons of S-rank that I want them to defeat as a priority.

I just had a sighting, I don't even know where he is, but if he's moving around on a smudge while using exploratory magic, I guess he'll find it soon.

”I found it while I was saying it!

Confirm clearly stronger forces ahead than the surrounding demons.

”That's... Gold Tiger!

Gold Tiger, as the name suggests, is a tiger demon wearing golden fur, a demon that many people sought for fur from its beauty in previous life.

”This is a good start. He's going to make good money.”

Is that it? Speaking of which, I heard that Gold Tiger was overhauled and extinct for fur, but he was alive.

”Well, details are good.”

Either way, Gold Tiger is a crusader, so it's good, right?

They've also confirmed this one by Gold Tiger, and they're on their way to prepare for a battle.
