71 Episode 71: Former Demon King, Going to Find Enemy Ajito (1/2)

The next day, me and Odette headed to Ajito, the user of The Beast King (Lord of =) Riding (Beast).

The location is northwest of Torrias territory. In the woods near the border.

Felipe-Guerasto, the beast king's rider, lived in hiding in the remains of an old building there.

Count Torrias formed an investigation team to investigate his Azito.

The members are a few soldiers familiar with witchcraft and me and Odette.

To destination, about two days on foot.

You know, Odette and I were gonna walk along, naturally.

”Please use this carriage. I'll go as far as I can not shake it, but in something of a hurry. The more forgiving.”

said the captain of the investigation team.

In front of me and Odette, there's a roofed boxcarriage.

Get on with this, it seems.

”I was gonna walk.”

”Me, too. With all the soldiers.”

”It's outrageous! You two are the benefactors of Torrias territory! It's so very, very much to make you walk!

The captain shook his head beside him desperately.

I had no choice, so Odette and I took Garm, the demon, to the carriage.

By the way, the bat Dick is on the roof.

The territory of Torrias is wide.

Apparently, thanks to the Counts' long service to the royal family, they got a wide territory near the border.

So to the destination, it would take about two days on foot.

And...

”You're passing near the old battlefield today.”

In the carriage, Odette said as he looked at the map.

”Ancient battlefield?”

”It was once the site of the Battle of the Eight Kings, fought by the Royal Family of Mitsu. It's on the map and the dossier that Mr. Ophelia made me have.”

That's what I said, Odette gave me the map.

The first is a map of the area around Torrias territory. The destination is marked.

The plains in the center of the map appear to be traces of ancient battlefields.

”It is in the evening that we pass near the ancient battlefield. One night in the village.”

”─ Yes. We are scheduled to pass by the ancient battlefield in the early afternoon.”

I guess I heard the story.

A soldier sitting on your podium was watching us.

”It's a place where demons can easily emerge. After sundown, no one goes through. So this is how we fly the carriage so that we can get through in the high sun.”

”Is it easy for demons to come out,”

”In the days of the” Eight Kings War, ”there are thousands of dead people out there. Legend also remains that a mighty 'ancient magic' has been used to make people uninhabitable. They say if you dig, you get bones, so nobody wants to pioneer them.”

”I've heard of it.” The ancient battlefield of Veral, where the three kings met. ”

”You're right. Lady Duke of Slay.”

With that said, the soldiers of your Lord turned forward.

Apparently, the story is over.

Well, I don't have to listen to you, if you wait, you go through the ancient battlefield.

From the window of the carriage you can see a wide pasture area (which I would like to see).

I see no trace of the ”Eight Kings War” anywhere.

Because the Royal Liestia, who created the present kingdom, rebuilt the post-war continent.

In the north of such a kingdom, it was the Gaiur Empire that Xing (Oko) a few decades ago?

When I was doing Dean-Nosferatu, there were interracial people living in the north.

I remember being offered as a barbarian at the time, where there was nothing more than magic and culture.

In those days, I would have flowed all the way to their land if the Village of Fira hadn't accepted me.

That's 200 years later, created a powerful empire?

Besides, if the Empire is involved in this case of ”Armed Orga” and ”Beast King's Ride,”

”Do you mean the remnants of the 'Sanctuary Church' fled north to work with the things on the land to create an empire...”

”I guess that's what...”

Me and Odette sighed.

Then we were looking out the window, talking nonchalantly.

There was a break after a while, and after the carriage rocked me again, I was supposed to have lunch.

The place is a plain along the street.

Me and Odette were surrounding the fire and drinking tea.

From here to the village where we are staying today, it will take a few more hours.

In the meantime, we're going through the old battlefield of Veral.

”Garm. Dick. You got a minute?

'Wow. Oshijun' ”What is it?

Garm, a dog that was round at his feet, raised his face and Dick stayed on my shoulder.

I give you two Magic Blood, strengthen it, and then...

”Will you two go ahead and look at the ancient battlefield? I don't really see it coming from the carriage window. I want you to see what the old battlefield looks like instead.”

”It's my home -. Wow.” ”It's a good one.”

Garm and Dick ran towards the end of the street.

Then, after a break of less than an hour, we left again.

Even northwest down the street, hurrying the horses.

”Is Yuki concerned about the ancient battlefield?

Second, Odette, who was sitting in the seat across the street, said.

He looks at me with his cheekstick and a gaze of exploration.

”It's unusual to go out of your way to tell Mr. Dick and his family,”

”With the soldiers, you can't let me fly fluffy.”

”... but that's true”

”And when the world was at the Eight Kings War, I wasn't alive... and after I died, I want to know what the Church of the Sanctuary and the King did in what place.”

I whispered and whispered to Odette.

”It's literally a source of interest. of human beings of this age, childish.”

”It's rare for a child to try to be a child.”

”... what about the 'Eight Kings War' material for children like that?

”I think there's about a history book in the Magic Guild library.”

Then Odette slapped his hand, pounding, as he came up with something.

”Speaking of which, I was touring the ancient battlefield as a year-round event in the Magic Guild. Although participation is only desirable. Want to join? Yuki.”

”That's a tour that's going to annoy me. It.”

”It's like a tour of sights now.”

Odette broke his finger and started counting.

”The Old Battlefield of Veral,” ”The Tragedy of Liveston,” and ”The Showdown in the Dornton Valley”

In those days, battles were apparently taking place in various places.

Around there too, we'll look into it when we get back to The Magic Guild.
