173 Episode 43: The Night Meet (1/2)

”... incredible. I can already see 'The Sand Wall'”

On the saddle of Klau Solas, Katia gets a voice that is neither admirable nor stunning. Ahead of that gaze was a wide-ranging sandstorm.

The heavenly high dust literally only looks like a ”wall,” and it spreads on a scale reminiscent of the horizon. If you take such a direct hit of a sandstorm, even the city of Berca will be swallowed by the sand in an instant.

There must still be quite a distance from the sandstorm, but I can still feel the pressure coming in front of me.

Somehow, it was a sight reminiscent of the whole life of the world.

”That 'sand wall' frequently occurs in untapped areas. Captain Alou previously said it was the biggest cause of untouched areas.”

The more Katya speaks, the more it takes. True, if you encounter such a storm while walking on the ground, there's nothing more you can do. Speaking of what you can do, about putting up a tent (tent) and being quiet until the sandstorm passes - no, or swallowed by sand for every tent (tent) is the och.

When that happens, do we have to step in quickly in anticipation of when there is no sandstorm, conduct an investigation in minimal time, and turn back quickly? Or by magic and whatever, there is also the hand to create a base that can withstand sandstorms. Well, I don't know if that's really possible.

In that regard, we are blessed. Klau Solas can tie the wind's boundaries, so entering a sandstorm won't blow you away. That is proof strain when it breaks through a tornado caused by a phantom species (Hydra).

However, what was different from before was that there was no clear goal beyond the storm. At that time I was convinced that there was a Hydra in the heart of the tornado, and I could roughly guess the scale of the tornado.

But there is no such thing as a 'wall of sand'. If the depth of the sandstorm (Oguyuki) was as wide as the horizontal width, it would be difficult for any of them to penetrate the blue (Indigo) Wingbeast (Wyburn). Besides, I can barely confirm the direction of the sand in those dunes. Naturally, it is impossible to search for the King of the Beast (Behemoth) or the Silver Star.

Again, this would be a good place to break into untouched areas from the sky for days when there are no sandstorms and ask how things are going from above. I hope that gives us some clue. If I don't get it, I'll break in again from somewhere else.

When there is a sandstorm, a location other than the untapped area may be explored. I didn't come here to blink at the mystery of the untouched zone. It is the King of the Beast (Behemoth) and the Silver Star to look for. With that in mind, I turned to Katia.

”Just in case, Lord White Knight was trying to cross that wall, wasn't he?

”Yes. As I said now, 'Sand Wall' occurs in an untouched area. Unnatural frequency (Hindu) for natural sandstorms,. The head of the regiment guessed it was like a bond.”

If it is a kingdom, it is self-evident that there are those who put it up. If the 'Sand Wall' is an artificial obstacle, not a natural phenomenon, then there must be a means to solve it, or a creeping means - that was the idea of White Knight Alou, he said.

I see Alou's unexplored exploration of the area was probably meant to look for the means, if stuck.

... but it still remains uncomfortable to continue challenging the unsafe desert based on the presumption of ”isn't it like a junction”. To hear Alou's activism in ”Silver Star,” he seems to have been a person of excellent character and judgment. It's hard to believe that such a person risked his life just to speculate.

The feeling is even stronger when you look away at the 'Sand Wall' in this way. There must have been some reason to try that. There's a clear rationale why you can hang the lives of your people, not just yourself.

Was his father leaving something behind, or did Arrow himself find something as he pursued his father's shadow?

- I think so. Outreach, rather than looking for an undisturbed area, it might be better to find a clue in Alou's house and become the headquarters of Silver Star.

Well, to the extent that I think about it, someone would be moving on to execution.

With that in mind, I continued my search for the desert. but in conclusion, the search for this day did not yield any results.

The Catalan Desert is dotted with a number of oases. It's a lifeline for adventurers working in the desert, and some places have stores and facilities lined up for adventurers that are busier than hectic cities.

We revealed the night in one of those oases, and the next day, once again, we headed to the untouched area, but this day the 'Sand Wall' was still occurring, and the search ended without any fruit.

Difference in morning and evening warmth characteristic of the desert. Burning sunlight falling. Dry air. A wind all over the sand that pops into your eyes and mouth, for instance.

I decided to go back to Berca once I was clear about the climate in the Catalan Desert. Whatever the emergency, in the present situation, it is decided that it is not necessary to reveal the night in the desert for three or four days. As well as the woodland fairy, Lunamaria, was struggling with the desert climate.

There was just one of my companions, Katia alone, who looked full of things - Ilia is leaving a message in Berca because she's overquoted - and she never challenged my decision as to whether she was distracting herself or not.

◆ ◆ ◆

That night - that was the night I returned from the Catalan Desert - I secretly left the Temple of Law and headed to the city of Berca.

The sun is already abundantly twilight and most shops will be closed.

However, if it is a city the size of Berca, there are also places where it becomes busy only at night. It's called the Pleasure Street.

... I'll tell you something, it's not like I want to go play with a woman. Simply wanted to see a city called Berca with these eyes.

Since I came to this city, the information I've seen and heard is usually via legal theism. The Temple of Law is out of bounds in the quality and quantity of information it holds, and its authority as an organization is high. That's why I gave myself up to the temple, too, but on the other hand, it was inevitable that Ri would come out biased in the information available.

Tonight, I left the temple to correct that bias.

It would be troublesome if it were a dragon slayer, so I wore a properly hooded robe. The Berca at night - or the desert at night, temperatures drop in response to the heat of the day, so a thick robe is also a measure of that.

That's why I set foot in the amusement park, so nice of you, I slowly went down the street looking around for a moment. I thought I'd come in if I had the right liquor store or restaurant, but most of the shops that I'm flirting with at this time are women's shops. Just walking down the street like this, you can hear a whisper from there.

It was no rush to go into the store of that hand, but I couldn't play with a woman without the roots of my tongue that I said I wasn't going to play with a woman. Dragon slayer, don't lie.

Well, it's funny to wander around the city at night like this.

Stroll around Berca at night thinking about that. I also thought it would be more interesting if you looked at me rounded up and thought I was a duck and someone approached me, but those kinds of arrangements never whispered where I was going.

”Honestly, I thought it was rougher, but is the out-of-country security good?

The security of the pleasure district is one indicator of the current situation in that city. It will be appreciated that the leftovers (roughly) of the guides can walk the streets in less than an hour.

Put it in the corner of your head that Berca might also be included in the candidate for this.

Because right now, I'm planning on setting up a base for Blood Smoke Sword outside of Ishka. It was more than a necessary precaution than your swordsman had figured out where you were.

This time, Seal and Miroslav, who did not accompany Belka, are moving there. It should be noted that I do not intend to move from Ishka even when it comes to a new base, but that when I go away, the main focus of the plan is to secure a place where the remaining face can live safely.

In that regard, I hear that Berka is too far from Ishka, and that there are demonic raids in the desert, so I'm not saying he's a leading candidate. But because of the distance, it is unlikely that your swordsman will find you, and it would be worth including you in the candidate.

”If you have a property with a hiccup bath, it would be instant, but it would be tough near the desert.”

The smell of roasted meat and spices drifted as she groaned that there was no such thing as ”Lachi”.

The source of the smell is a restaurant labeled ”Sand Pavilion”, which is a tavern and restaurant on the ground floor and an inn on the second floor. It was rarely built in this shop.

From what I've seen, it's beautiful in the store, and there's no woman. There is no art to going home to the temple like this, so I decided to go inside.

A bell mounted on the door tells the visitor, Chi, or his husband jumps out of the kitchen approaching with a full grin.

When I was escorted straight to my seat, I ordered a skewer that I would recommend.

It was stabbed alternately with meat and vegetables that were so lost that it was cooked with sauce, and the meat used, he said, belonged to sandrizzard.

I read Sandrizzard and sand all over it.
