Chapter 142 - Episode Seventeen - Magic Beasts Damage (10)

This chapter is updated by wuxiaworld.eu

Each of them had a magic beast in hand, and the private army returned.

Most of the packs of magic beasts had retreated deep into the mountains.

I heard that there were fears that the damage from the magic beasts would hinder the recovery of distribution in the future, but I heard that they didn’t have to worry about that.

As long as you have an escort, you should be able to travel to other cities as long as it’s not a rare occurrence.

The troops that had been divided into three groups in front of the village assembled and gathered before entering the village.

They lined up at the entrance, and Euris announced a temporary dismissal.

The troops who were still nervous let out a big sigh and rejoiced in each other’s safety.

“I’m really, really sorry for everything,”

After the dismissal, Euris was the first to come to me.

“If it wasn’t for you, my lord’s private army might have been wiped out. If that had happened now, this territory would have been……”

Euris face turned pale and her words were slurred.

It was in a tone of voice that was horrible to say.

“Yes, yes! You’re our hero! What, are you a famous magician in the city by any chance?”

The big man, Dante, overheard the conversation between me and Euris and came closer.

He’s a tough guy, but a pleasant guy.

“Well, I’m from a rural minority……”

“I bet you could take down that bastard Icarus, couldn’t you? Right? Right!”

Icarus…… hey.

I’d like to know the size of Icarus’ faction and how cohesive it is.

It doesn’t seem to be someone that can be dealt with by hitting them directly.

“…… Be careful how you put it. We better not be antagonistic to Icarus-dono. All I can say from our standpoint is that we need to work together a bit more.”

Euris glares at Dante.

“Yes, that’s right…… but it really pisses me off.”

…… From what I heard, he’s an opponent even the lord can’t keep his head up.

Looking at the state of Euris, there may be people from Icarus’ side mixed in with the private army as well.

It’s going to be quite painful to bring their authority down.

I and Mea parted from the private army’s members and decided to return to the lord’s mansion.

After this, each unit leader will report to Lark and discuss the prey in hand.

After that is done, they will gather the private army again, processing and storage.

He said that with this amount, he would have to ask the residents for help.

However, I was already exhausted (mainly by transportation), so I asked to let us rest in the lord’s mansion as is.

Besides, I want to check on the condition of the Hamelin I got earlier.

It’s a rare demon, after all.

There are many things I want to investigate.

And if things go well, we may be able to determine the spirit user who used Hamelin to attack the private army.

“…… Abel, is your leg okay?”

“I feel like today is the most I’ve walked since I was born…… I’ve been taking breaks and riding the Ortem, so well, I guess I’ll just need to take three days off and I’ll be back to full strength……”

The sunlight was terrible too.

I thought about using sorcery to collect clouds, but I couldn’t stop the queue, and that sorcery can cause the climate to collapse and cause a lot of trouble if it’s done without a plan.

I think it’s fine because we were just in trouble from the drought, but it is said that the magic that manipulates the weather can also trigger a war if done poorly.

…… We have to listen to our lord and the high magician who has been here for more than six months.

The Dinrat Kingdom must have had such a national law.

“Oh, it looks more serious than I thought…… Mea will give you a massage again!”

“I seriously request.”

It was a different entrance than when we left, so this was the first time we were taking the road, but I already heard from Euris about the way to the lord’s house.

It wasn’t so complicated, so you won’t get lost.

“Hmm, that………is there something being built?”

Mea’s voice caught my attention, and I turned my head to look past her gaze.

A short distance away, there was a building under construction.

It was one size larger than the other houses.

It was taller, but it didn’t appear to be two stories.

More than a dozen men were coming in and out of the building, working on it.

I saw a young man approaching there.

A familiar blue robe, a thick scripture that could serve as a blunt instrument.

A good-looking, snappy sink-eye.

He was Ringus, a missionary of the Water God.

One of the men noticed him, stopped his work, and ran over to him.

“Ringus-san! What do you think? It’s starting to take shape, isn’t it?”

“Oh, wonderful…… I can feel your faith and passion just by looking at it.”

Ringus touched a hand to the wall, caressing it affectionately.

“Ehhehehe. I’m honored to have you compliment me, Ringus-san! I’ll tell everyone about it.”

The man seems embarrassed and replies, scratching his head.

“Thank you. Building a church in another country has been one of my dreams since I was a child…… so I’m really glad to have met you guys……”

“No, no! There’s no need to thank me for that! It was us rather who were saved! I wish more of the other guys would listen to Ringus-san…… because we’re all here with that in mind!”

“If my words can help you…… I will be more than happy to do so. I had some uncertainties…… but I am so glad I came to this place. The words of the Water God are just as he said. ‘Mix it up, but it’s muddy, the source is the same.”

A church of the water god Levi will be built?

The state religion of the Kingdom of Dinrat, Kudor, is kind to pagans, except for some…… I don’t think it’s a problem because I’m not interested in it……

“There was a bit of concern, but that has been taken care of as well……”

“Concern? Did something happen?”

“Oh, nono, it’s nothing.”

Ringus quickly smiled, then turned himself towards me.

Our eyes met.

At that moment, Ringus stopped moving and his expression froze.

“W-why…what is, what is going on? You were supposed to take part on that……”

Ringus kneels in place and holds his mouth in his hand.

“Ringus-san? Ringus-san, are you okay? Hey, somebody get me some water! Ringus-san looks so pale!”

The man panicked and gave orders to the others who were working.

I wondered if he saw something strange.

I turned around to check behind me, but there was nothing of interest.

“Abel, is something wrong?”

“Well, no…… Right now I just want to lie down and sleep somewhere out of the sun.”

I turned my body around and tried to move my stopped feet forward again.

“Damn!”

I heard Ringus barking and the sound of dull blows, and I couldn’t help but turn around again.

Ringus had clenched his fists and was punching the walls of the church under construction.

Was this a dream of his since he was a child?

“Ringus-san? Ringus-san!”

“What, what the hell happened to Ringus-san?”

Construction work had come to a complete halt and there was a huge commotion.

Immediately, Ringus seemed to have returned to his composure, and while he was breathing hard, he bowed his head to those around him, “I’m sorry for losing myself about what I did……”

“What, a fight?”

“…… Didn’t that man just look at Abel?”

I check behind me again, but there’s nothing there.

Looking back, I can’t help but feel like he was looking at Mea and not me.

I just didn’t have the energy to think about anything else, so I decided to head straight for the lord’s mansion.
