127 Episode 127: "The First Elusion Defense Battle (on the Plains of the Kingdom of Liestia) (End of War)" (1/2)

”─ Are you the Imperial Empress? Then it should be used to negotiate with the Empire. '

”I think so too.”

That was the conclusion I came to after discussing it with Odette.

The fourth empress of the Gaiur Empire, Nylara-Gaiul, was putting together ”The Holy King (Lord = of =) Riding (Paladin)”.

Imperial royalty.

It would be nice to capture this place intact and use it as a bargaining material with the Empire.

Except...

”Spit out all the information you know. Otherwise this' Holy King's Ride 'will be destroyed without leaving its original form.”

I recovered the head and torso of the Holy King's Ride with Storage Magic.

There was a magical system because it was around the head and chest.

”... ahhhhhhhhh!

Empress Nylala trembles with a bright blue face.

I go on.

”Your figure is handed over to the 'Magic Guild'. But remember. If you refuse to testify at that time or say anything extra about me, think this' Holy King's Ride 'will disappear from this world.”

”Ya, stop. Stop. Yeah, eh!!

The princess Nylara sat down sobbing.

”The legacy of the 'ancient magical civilization' is the property of mankind. such as it will be permanently lost...... I can't stand it. Please, don't do that...”

”Then tell me what you know”

I stare down at the Empress Nylara, keeping the Black King (Lord of) Riding (Noir) together.

The forest is quiet.

It is time for the old Zamels to realize that the battle is over.

I want to finish the interrogation before they come.

”Let me start by telling you how to get into the fifth tier of The Capital of Ancient Sorcery and Civilization (Elusion) and what's in that place.”

”Okay.”

”Honestly, just a few more minutes, please”

”I know! They're taking hostages.”

You must mean ”Holy King's Ride”.

If it's that important, I wish I hadn't brought it here.

You should hide what's important or keep it on hand.

... of humans - especially the royal family. I don't know what to think.

”In the fifth underground hierarchy of the ancient magical civilization, there are barriers to eating magic.”

The crown princess Nylara started talking.

”To break through -” King's Horse (Lord) ”or” Replica Lord's Power is required ”

”Should I wear the 'King's Ride' and go through the barrier?

”No, with 'King's Ride' or Replica Road put together, we have to roll out 'Against the Magic Barrier'. That weakens the effect of the barrier. It's hard to use” ancient magic ”with” King's Ride ”put together... but if it works, the magic should remain there until it passes through”

”That'll get you in trouble when you get out. There's no magic left.”

”From within the fifth hierarchy, they can erase the barriers. This is from the Church of the Sanctuary.”

”Okay. So, what's in the fifth tier?

I keep asking questions.

”You crossed the border and went all the way to King's Capital. Something worthy of it is in the fifth hierarchy of” Elusion, ”I guess? What the fuck is that?

”... well, that's...”

Empress Nylara dropped her shoulders disappointingly, as she perceived,

It's a system for making demons enormous.

”Huge demons?

”There is a legend that 'Ancient Sorcery Civilization' used demons as a labor force. Probably ruled the demons in” Ancient Sorcery ”. So to increase the efficiency of our work, we were making demons huge, which is the legend of the Empire.”

I see.

Then it also explains why 'Ancient Sorcery Civilization' could have created a huge underground facility.

If you were in the service of a group of demons that made you huge, you would also be able to dig a big hole in the basement.

”Do you mean the artificially gigantic demons, such as' Armed Auga '?”

”That's right. And to make the demons huge, you need to make them drink potion”

Empress Nylara sighed a little before

”The folks at” The Sanctuary Church ”had that potion. But after 200 years, the stock just ran out.”

”You're here to replenish it”

”... yes”

”Thank you for your hard work. If you've used it conveniently for 200 years, you've had enough.”

I'm not going to use it for a lot of things because I've made demons huge.

If the potion is gone, I wish I'd given up at that point.

”Well, that's not all.”

”Is there anything else?

”They were going to create a replica of a system that would make the demons giant.”

”That sucks.”

”… but to do so, we must take away part of the original system”

”No, wait. The entrance to the Capital of Ancient Sorcery Civilizations is managed by the Sorcery Guild. How were you gonna get in there?

”They have a secret passage. I don't know much about it either. Ask The Sanctuary Church.”

With that said, the Empress Nylara took a long sigh.

At the same time, communications came in from Odette.

Yuki, how's the interrogator?

'It's been pretty stressful. But when I heard Odette's voice, I calmed down. Thanks.'

'What are you saying all of a sudden!?

'Cause the Empress Nylara, she makes sense, but she doesn't understand the way she thinks.

This is how you calm down when you hear Odette's voice. Really.

”Well, that's a report anyway.”

Odette changed his tone again,

”The old Zamels headed towards the woods. I'll be there shortly. '

”Did you notice the battle was over?”

'Right. I... can't move anymore. You can't stop it.'

'Odette's worked enough already. Rest. ”

Odette's taking the most dangerous job this time.

Or I don't want you to do anything dangerous anymore.

We'll finish the interrogation by the time Old Zamel gets here.

'And then... the old Zamels seem to think it's His Royal Highness Cain, the second prince, who's putting together the' Black King's Ride ''

”Wait. Why would you do that?

”If His Royal Highness Cain owns the mysterious King's Ride, it doesn't seem strange.”

”Misunderstood, I guess I should solve it”

”It's a crime to deceive the royal family.”

I didn't mean to deceive you. The other one just took it personally. Well, if you can use it, I'll let you use that mistake, too. '

”Not at all, no more”

Odette was over the correspondence and seemed to laugh.

I'm your free place, but...

”Odette?”

'Nah, it's nothing. Anyway, be careful!

'Okay. Thanks.'

Communication is dead.

Soon, the old Zamels will be here.

By then, let's hear everything we want to hear personally.

The information Old Zamel got doesn't necessarily come down to me as a Class C sorcerer.

”─ Do you know the First Priest of The Sanctuary Church?

I heard.

”I have heard that the First Priest exceeded his life expectancy. Are you sure about that?

”... that he's the first priest? What happened to him?

”Oh. You're in the empire, aren't you?

”Those who so name exist. But I've never heard of life expectancy.”

”... Really?

Ghost, who was on the fourth tier, said. The first priest exceeded his life expectancy with ancient technology.

So I figured if I caught the First Priest, I'd know how to immortalize Alice and Martha.

”There is certainly a thing called the First Priest. who have served generations of emperors. I don't even know the details. But I don't think you've exceeded your life expectancy. Whenever the Emperor replaces him, the First Priest also becomes new. Most of the time, I'm wearing a hood and hardly ever see my face.”

”... I see”

Is the First Priest also being replaced - or is the same person changing his name to serve the new Emperor?

I don't know at the moment.

But there is a possibility that the First Priest is immortal. That's enough.

”Last question.”

I don't have time.

It's troublesome when the old Zamels find us. It's time to end it.
