NOVEL NEXT - Episode 137
Episode 137
The long-awaited event is in danger of ending.
“I don’t think so… …
Pena, who had been talking to someone to clear up the confusion, said something strange.
“what do you mean?”
“Students over there say… … It must have gotten a little weird.”
Well, at that point, I was a little aware of this atmosphere.
Confused, but no fear. It's so strange.
“Somehow, I think things will be bothersome.”
It was better than being terrified, but I had a feeling it was going to be just as embarrassing.
“What are you going to do? Arell?”
“Forcibly intervening won’t do any good, so we’ll have to wait and see.”
It wasn't even a commotion that I led, so I wanted to watch it with my hands behind my back as much as possible while watching.
‘Well, I don't think so.'
The appearance of the ice bird did not seem to end in an incident.
If it's a monster, I'll subdue it, and if it's a planned event, just enjoy it.
Such a dignified attitude is typical of the people of Fahilia. From now on, don't be fooled.
but… … .
“Suddenly, everyone says they want to go to the mountain where the ice bird disappeared?”
Something was off, so I told them to keep an eye on the reaction of the guests.
Sure enough, within a few hours of the bird disappearing, the bite was visible.
People were behaving strangely.
“yes… … Everyone says they are going out of the city and going there.”
Not only customers, but also merchants and even residents are preparing to go out with such words.
“… … It is mental interference.”
Dia immediately concluded with a feeling that she wanted to sigh.
The festival has been suspended for a while. The soldiers went into preparation, and the wizards also moved with the feeling of urgent cooperation under the command.
I immediately calmed down Arna and sent her back to the castle.
It's a pity, but it seems like it's time to do special work for a while.
“What that bird emitted must be mental interference… …
Somehow, I thought I felt a strange energy.
Its energy isn't very strong, but it doesn't affect our family members or those who use magic. It didn't work for Arna either.
Instead, it seems that the general public has been caught intact.
It seems that it naturally resulted in an accident to go there, so it seems that everyone hastily packed their bags and prepared for the trip.
“Shall we stop them?”
“If that happens, I think it will be quite a commotion… …
There are no wild clashes now, but what will happen if we restrict their behavior. First of all, I told them not to stop their actions.
“Leave the gates open and place soldiers unaffected by the bird on the way to protect them.”
He also ordered a large quantity of blankets and first-aid supplies to be thoroughly prepared in case of emergency.
Like a teacher leading children on a picnic.
“… … did that make it? It looks dangerous.”
Of course, as Pena feared, that alone was not enough. Perhaps the place they are headed for is the one the ice bird is headed for.
The material for that side has already been confirmed.
“Of course it’s to buy time.”
Those who leave there anyway will travel on foot, so it will take quite a while.
So, you'll have to work it out before you get there.
“It can't be helped, let's take care of the troublesome things.”
Sometimes it is the duty of nobles to step forward directly.
Everyone has already started preparing according to my decision.
Ashana Seina also takes out the equipment after a while and checks it, and Dia also checks the staff and artifacts she is carrying to step out herself.
In addition, Pena is also calling out the spirits as a test to see if she intends to follow.
It's been a long time since it happened in our territory, so we step forward and solve it.
this would be an example
ruler! It's a hunt!
“Even if I don't know where that bird is from or what it is, let's make it pay for daring to disrupt my festival. … …
Whoop whoop.”
At this moment, I pointed to the bird and said this.
‘That's a harmful bird!'
“wow… … I didn't know that we would all go out together to catch a monster.”
“I miss you? Doesn’t it come to mind when you just came to Pahilia?”
“I don’t miss that much, though.”
Apparently, in those days, when the nest of a monster that the soldiers found difficult to deal with, they would personally lead everyone and order subjugation.
Asha shook her head as if she was embarrassed, perhaps recalling the hardships of that time.
“I’m worried rather than missing.”
“I agree.”
“it's okay. In case of danger, we will retreat right away.”
“Like Dia said, if you think it's weird, you'll leave right away. Don't worry too much.”
I decided to take the lead by admonishing everyone.
Although it seems irresponsible, in fact, there is no power that can be openly used more than this.
The knights I have taught for the longest time in the current mage tower lord, and first of all, the most famous elementalist.
If my predictions are correct, the bird itself shouldn't be a big problem.
First of all, what I need to go and contact is something else... … .
Probably because he wants that too.
“… … Arel? Are you hiding something?”
“No way. Anyway, let's treat this as the duty of the lord family and do our best!”
First of all, encouraging everyone who was puzzled, we headed to the place where the bird had built a nest.
Thanks to Dia's magic, I got there without much difficulty, overtaking the others.
Not to mention, Asha and Seina are still not far behind in their skills compared to their active counterparts, so they find their sense of the past and skillfully look around to find targets.
“I don’t think they are around here yet.”
“I think we need to go a little further.”
“Then I'll have my spirits look for it.”
Of course, Pena is also resolutely taking the initiative to help.
We headed for the snowy mountain with a feeling of unity in that way.
“good. Let's kill the presence and move.”
Dia cast a secondary magic to kill the sound of footsteps and other signs and slowly climbed up there.
It wasn't long before I found the ice bird in question.
“and. what is that... …
I guessed the size, but when I actually stood there, it was not normal.
More than 15 meters without wings spread.
In addition, perhaps because the whole body was made of ice, the transparent body reflected the sunlight, and it seemed to create a strange glow.
“Where did that bird come from?”
Asha's doubts were natural.
Of course, there must be eyewitness accounts of such a conspicuous monster.
You wouldn't believe that something like that popped out of this territory, like our courtyard. “Anyway, if we leave that out, the festival won’t be able to continue, so let’s quickly organize it.”
“I get it. So, you two should step back a bit.”
First of all, Nana, who pretends to be a non-combatant socially. Pena, who is weak except for spirit magic, stepped back.
After Asha and Seina stood in front, Dia took a position in the middle.
“… … I miss you.”
“Please don't talk like that. It just seems like we're getting older.”
“is not it? I'm sure you guys... …
“… … Mr. Arell'?”
Anyway, there seemed to be quite a bit of room for this conversation.
‘Well, I don't think there's anything to worry about in reality.'
If you roughly estimate the power of that ice bird, there shouldn't be a big problem.
‘It's rather simple.'
That's why I asked to come myself.
As soon as everyone was in position and ready to hunt, the ice bird started moving as if it had been waiting.
As it spreads its huge wings, the pieces of ice that have fallen from the wings shine.
“… … It is unnecessarily pretty.”
“I'm a little hesitant to break it.”
“Ah~ Yes, it must be a monster.”
“or not? Would you like to capture that bird?”
“no. Let's not overdo it. It certainly seems safe to destroy it.”
So, finally, check the policy. They went into battle at the same time without sending any signal.
Asha and Seina charged forward as if jumping in front, challenging the bird's size.
Of course, he couldn't easily greet the two of them.
Maybe instinctively judged that it was dangerous.
It spreads its wings and tries to fly.
“Letting it fly would be annoying.”
With the skills of two people, it would be easy to chase after them in a short time, but it would be reckless to engage in a dogfight with a bird.
“I will deal with it right away.”
“I will help you too.”
Dia chanted the magic just in time, and Pena also called the spirits.
“Flare bind.”
“Sele. And you, other children, help too.”
The chains of flame Dia used are wrapped around the bird's wings.
As it is, the flapping of wings for flight turns into a struggle to shake off the chain of fire. At the same time, dozens of Selamanders appeared overhead and rained fireballs.
“… … I want to destroy it with a big blow.”
“are you okay. If you use a big technique for no reason, an avalanche may occur.”
I tapped Dia on the shoulder and told her that it was okay.
After all, the purpose is hunting. So you don't have to destroy it all at once.
Well, that should be left to the right people.
“Then I'll just shove it on the floor!”
Seina shouted slightly excitedly and jumped up first.
I grabbed the wings of the ice bird that was still struggling with the flame attack.
“ruler! I’m going to throw you down, so aim well!”
He swung his fist at it and stabbed it into the wing, then twisted his body with that force and threw the bird down with the recoil.
“Anyway. Do not work too hard.”
“Hehe. It's been a while since I've been hunting... … Anyway, please.”
“I know!”
And Asha rushed towards the point where the bird thrown by Seina collided with the floor.
“It’s been a while, so I’m a little worried about whether things will go well… …
Contrary to her tone of voice while smiling wryly, the spear that Yasa pulled in began to contain the aura she had injected.
Even though I recently withdrew halfway from the front line and lived peacefully, I never neglected my training.
Just like the incumbents... … No, Asha's spear, which is more powerful than that, stretches out as it is.
“Sum!”
With a sharp spirit, the blow spreads out like a flash of light.
The spearhead thrown by Asha was pierced exactly between the eyebrows of the ice bird, and it went mad once.
Quaang!
A roaring sound came from inside, and a faint light leaked from the inside of the crack.
A method of detonating the aura from inside the target.
“phew! It seems that the persimmon has not died yet.”
Asha smiled brightly as if it was subtly rewarding.
“It's good to be happy, but it's not over yet!”
I, the cheerleader, hurriedly instructed them to be alert.
Although quite broken, the ice bird trembles as if it can still move, raising its massive body.
“Isn’t it normal to die?”
“… … It doesn't look like an ordinary creature. It looks like we need to destroy more.”
Dia explained with examples of several other unusual monsters.
Even so, it is true that it is clearly weaker than a moment ago. It's not a dangerous situation.
“Then let’s break it down step by step.”
” yes.”
That's how our family continued to battle the ice bird.
The decision will come soon.
I cheered my family hard.
And on the other hand... … .
“There will be no problem there.”
Leaving my family members with an alternate body that shares my consciousness in real time.
Only the main body was wandering deep into the snowy mountains.
Okay. If my family members have the skills, it won't matter if there are 10 more ice birds or if a 3-stage transformation fusion takes place.
More than anything else, if that happens, I can secretly help.
I didn't just come out to cheer for the pathetic.
Although it's a pity that I can't let everyone know how I work.
Well, originally, the head of the family works secretly.
It's also a secret accident.
Above all, there are some things that you have to solve yourself like this.
“Why don’t you come out and talk to me in person? The real Mr. Ice Bird? Aren’t you the fairy of the snowy mountain?”
Can't fool my senses.
Even if you didn't know until now, there's no way you couldn't catch it since it was an accident openly.
“I know you're hiding... …
Isn’t that bird bait anyway?”
When I called with confidence, there was finally a change in the sign.
The sounds around me were drastically reduced.
A presence that even affects physical phenomena such as sound.
“You’re finally here… … How
a former pro
sucks honey
