＜ Operation to rescue Jeniel (2) ＞
chirp- chirp- chirp-
In the woods where the light falls through the leaves and the peaceful birdsong is heard.
I walked somewhere He could have gotten lost because of the overgrown trees, but he did not lose his sense of direction due to the aftermath of his talent trait 「Understanding of Space」.
It was like having a compass built into your body.
“·······”
As we continued walking, we saw a cave covered in bushes. I turned and went in front of it. The object—light-emitting magic—was manifested and examined the interior.
In the cave, which was lighter than it looked, there were only a few centipedes and the bones of old animals. It seemed to be a habitat for bears.
I let out a small sigh.
“under······”
I boldly conducted a solo search, but it was not easy.
The place where Jeniel is imprisoned is the western cave. The problem is that there’s only one or two caves here.
There are more than 100 large and small caves on the vast island of Furuoka. maybe even more than that. It was close to impossible to find Jeniel in 3 days like this by walking around the caves one by one with both feet.
That is, we had to look for other clues.
I closed my eyes and focused on the feeling. In an instant, [Magical Insight] was manifested, and the magic power of the area was extracted. In an instant, I sensed all the magic power spreading across the vast island.
Like a shark chasing a drop of blood spread across the ocean.
“·······”
However, I didn’t feel any dark magic. Well, since they had already kidnapped Jeniel, there was no reason for them to use black magic.
If so, you have no choice but to approach it in a different way.
This time I focused on hearing. At the same time, the “sensitive five senses”, especially the hearing ability, improved significantly. I recognized every sound echoing in the forest.
-Sagrak. fade.
The sound of leaves swaying in the breeze.
– Tick-tock.
The sound of a woodpecker digging a tree.
– Sabujak. tetralogy.
The sound of the squirrel’s footsteps moving across the ground.
and······
– Oh, do you feel sick to your stomach?
– Again? What do you do?
-It’s a shit wrapper, it’s a shit wrapper.
Even the sound of someone speaking from afar.
All the sounds in the forest flowed through the cochlea and into the eardrum. I opened my eyes slowly I gazed silently through the dense bushes.
“…hey there.”
The voice comes from the west side of the forest.
The Immortal Knights are searching the east, so it’s not theirs. Moreover, since there are more than three, they are not self-governing police either.
If so, it is well worth tracking down.
I followed the sound and moved my steps.
how long did it take A group of wizards in black robes could be seen in the distance.
A hood that was pressed down so that the face could not be seen, a chain draped diagonally and a skeleton epaulet attached to the shoulder. They were black magicians.
I watched them.
– I can’t. i’ll be gone for a while
– Ugh. Because of that bastard, I get delayed every day.
– Hey! Pavez! Do you have rest?
Pavez.
In the original story, he was a black magician who died at the hands of Karios. There were two more, but I can’t remember.
– You can roughly wipe it with a leaf.
-Okay, so go far and buy it. stinky!
– Yes. Don’t get numb by wiping it with anesthetic leaves.
Pavez, who blocked his hip with one hand, hurriedly came this way. I hid behind a tree. All the while, the footsteps were getting closer, and after a while Pavez passed me.
“in a hurry. Urgent.”
Before long, the boy settled down in a sunny field. I hurriedly lowered my pants, and then what… a crazy sound hit my eardrums. It was all the more painful because I had strengthened my hearing.
Fortunately, the wind blows from my side to Pavez.
wheee
Thanks to the proper wind direction, there was no smell.
The fire must have been turned off in a hurry, and Pavez hummed.
“Hmmmmmm- Is it because I ate well these days? The smell of poop is so fragrant.”
Probably the aftermath of “fragrant body odor.”
After finishing the action, Pavez groped around and looked for toilet paper (?). But all around him was short grass. Parvez scratched his temple.
“damn······”
It’s a very difficult situation.
I tore off two broad leaves and approached Parvez. He passed it behind his back without saying a word.
“·······”
“Oh, thank you.”
Mistaking me for a colleague, Pavez handed over the leaf without question. And then I finished the post-processing with ease. Pavez said, pulling up his pants.
“But why are you following me here because you have something to do? Did Adelin order it?”
There’s something to see between us.
Sometimes good ideas come to mind.
I warmed up the minimum mana. [Magic Coalescing Bullets] were manifested at the tips of the blades.
Geeing-
A subtle magic power that spreads through the air.
“Excellent magic quality” that is different from that of ordinary magicians.
“…?”
Sensing the difference, Pavez belatedly turned his head. When he found me, his eyes widened. before he said anything.
“Shh.”
I put the blade of my hand that activated the [Magical Condensation Bullet] to the guy’s neck. At the same time, I covered the boy’s mouth with my other hand. I said, looking straight at Parvez.
“If you make noise, you die. The answer is only a nod.”
“·······”
Pavez nodded slowly. I slowly let go Pavez, terrified, purred-his lips trembled.
He pointed behind his back and asked.
“What are the names of those warlocks?”
“…that, that’s it.”
Gulp- Pavez, swallowing saliva, answered in a tone full of anxiety.
“This is Adelin… Danica… Lucas-”
Squeak–!
As soon as he finished speaking, he cut his throat. The neatly cut hair fell to the ground. Before long, the torso, which had lost its head, collapsed powerlessly.
Hair stone-!
I wiped the blood off my fingertips.
“If you make noise, you die.”
There are a total of three black magicians he mentioned.
Among them were two warlocks who would die at the hands of Karios. In other words, if only those guys were dealt with, there would be no variables due to the warlock’s survival.
I wanted to kill him right away, but it was still too early. I had to live a little longer.
They’ll be important clues.
“·······”
I took off Pavez’s robe. After taking off the existing robe, I put on the guy’s robe. Because they have similar physiques, they fit perfectly.
If there’s one thing that bothers me, it’s that my hair sticks out even when I press the hood down.
“…it’s difficult like this.”
In order to find out Jeniel’s location, you have to infiltrate the black magicians. Fortunately, everyone was wearing hoods, so there was no need for any disguises. Everything was prosperous as long as he had the black magician’s robe.
The only problem is the hair… After all, it would be right to cut it.
Leonard of the original film sticks to his bobbed hair until the ending, but having his hair shortened doesn’t cause any problems. Long hair was uncomfortable in many ways.
Geeing-
I manifested [Magical Concentration Bullet] again. He cut his short hair, which he had maintained so far, without adding or subtracting.
Spare- Spare-
······
“When is this asshole coming?”
“Aren’t you really wiping with anesthetic leaves? Go find it.”
While waiting for Pavez, Lucas and Adelin had a conversation. Adelin’s words made Lukas tremble.
“Are you crazy? It’s dirty there, so how do you go?”
His face was frowning, but he put annoyance in his voice for no reason, but inside he was happy. I was so happy just talking to Adelin.
“why? Are you two friends?”
“I’m not close enough to worry about going to the bathroom.”
It’s been a year since I’ve had a crush.
At first I thought I was crazy. I couldn’t understand why my heart fluttered when I saw Adelin, or why I kept looking only at her.
But it didn’t take long to figure out why.
That was… it was love.
The feeling that my heart is becoming Mongolian and Mongolian, and I want to be by your side.
And today it was my turn to confess my heart that I had been hiding. It was the first day to develop from a colleague to a lover.
Lucas asked quietly.
“What are you doing tonight?”
“What? why?”
“If there’s nothing to do, let’s go for a walk on the beach. There are shooting stars today.”
“Oh, good. But is it real?”
“then. Baines told me.”
Lucas tried to hide his smile. For some reason, it felt good. As we were talking for a while, we heard footsteps in the distance.
Four trilogy- Four trilogy-
Soon after, Parvez appeared from among the grass. Adelin, who had been looking at Lucas all along, turned her head.
“Are you cool?”
“·······”
Parvez did not answer. He just nodded. Adelin crossed her arms and puffed out her cheeks.
“What? Did you come out with poop while pooping?”
“·······”
Didn’t answer again.
Adelin seemed quite dissatisfied, but Lukas liked the way he looked today. Thanks to that, I can monopolize Adelin’s attention.
Lucas said.
“Leave it. Because he’s a guy who changes depending on his mood.”
“but. It’s done. Please don’t talk to him again.”
Adelin’s gaze returned to Lucas. I thought it would be a happy start again…
Was it like this mountain over the mountain?
Other intruders appeared. This time it was the local police in charge of searching the west side.
The police approached, saluting awkwardly.
“Oh, it took a lot of work to confine the hostages.”
“Even the cops are having a hard time hitting the hit~”
Adelin approached the cops without a chance to catch them. He said in a brighter tone.
“You must be busy working in vain, but what are you doing here?”
“What? I came because I have news to tell you.”
“Eh? What? I already heard that Terios came.”
Adelin tilted her head in puzzlement. The policeman took off his hat and scratched his forehead.
“Another guest came from the continent.”
“Again?”
“Yes. again So, be mindful of confinement. It looks like he applied for the eastern search, but it’s better if you’re careful.”
It was then.
“The Thakari came because they were worried about us.”
Danica, who had been sitting quietly on the other hand, opened her mouth. In an instant, the atmosphere became tense. Everyone stared at her stiffly. said Danica, looking around.
“Why, when I open my mouth, everyone shuts up and fucks. Am I guilty?”
“No, what is a ttakkari? But to those who came to help.”
The cops murmured in dejected voices. I was in a very bad mood, but I did not dare to respond. Because she is the concubine of Count Latesio.
Danica snorted.
“therefore? who came?”
“Professor Leonard from the Imperial Academy has arrived.”
“What·····?”
Danica’s tone, which had been cold all the time, trembled. She usually sticks to her seat, but this time was an exception. I jumped up from my seat and asked.
“Who, who?”
“Who did you say came?”
At the same time, Adelin also showed an abnormal reaction. Like a child waiting for a gift, he held his hands together.
The cops looked at the two with puzzled eyes.
“Leonard Adonis. Famous for defensive magic.”
“Great······”
Adelin murmured softly.
It’s Leonard.
He who is famous for his unprecedented magic talent as well as his unparalleled handsomeness came to Furuoka Island.
It was great news for Adelin, who had been stuck on the island for several years. For her, who puts the most importance on appearance when looking at a man, and who gains strength just by looking at a handsome man, Leonard was like a natural tonic.
Adelin jumped in place and cheered.
“Great! I really wanted to see you!!”
“I know. I was curious too.”
Unsurprisingly, Danica was also excited.
“You must be very handsome? Let’s go see the real thing later.”
“It’s okay, yes.”
The two held hands and were happy. Even though the enemy, not the friendly, came, they enthusiastically cheered.
Lukas looked at him with a jealous gaze.
“Why is that 10-year-old Leonard coming all the way to here?”
＊＊＊
same time.
East of Furuoka Island.
The Immortal Knights searched the jungle to find Jeniel. We searched swamps, caves, trees and behind rocks. I couldn’t find even the slightest trace, let alone Jeniel. All I could see was the great nature of Furuoka.
“Let me rest for a while.”
At Terios’ words, the knights temporarily stopped their search. Everyone found a comfortable place to rest.
Same goes for Theo, a member of the Knights Templar.
“Gosh······”
He groaned and perched on a fallen tree. Being south, it was terribly hot.
It must be like the summer weather in the empire.
Theo fanned with his hand.
“hot. hot.”
Everyone is doing their best, but so far there is no income to speak of. Moreover, even 10% of the total area could not be searched. At this rate, it was impossible to find Jeniel within three days. That’s why you can’t cut the emperor’s throat.
“Is it true that we are on a real island…”
Whew.
Theo let out a deep sigh. It was at that time that I was cooling my sweat in the breeze blowing.
“Look at me for a second.”
Terrios, who had approached us, spoke in a low voice. Then he walked into the jungle. Theo jumped up and hurriedly followed Therios.
jerk- jerk-
His steps stopped completely away from the knights. Terrios looked around and carefully opened his mouth.
“Return to headquarters right now.”
“yes? Now, did I hear that wrong?”
Theo asked with his eyes wide open.
We still don’t have enough people, what kind of nonsense is this?
Did I hear something wrong because of the heat?
He doubted his ears for a moment, but he wasn’t wrong.
“I ordered you to return to the Knights Headquarters immediately.”
Therios looked Theo in the eye and said.
“There is a wooden box in the safe in the knight commander’s office. Never open it and bring it as it is.”
“Yes? Oh, I see.”
Theo did not understand, but reflexively responded to the order.
＊＊＊
That night.
An evening of starry sky on Furuoka Island.
“We are going. Thank you so much!” “Thank you.”
Edelin and Danica waved at Lucas and Parvez. After taking off their robes, all of them were smiling broadly. The reason was simple. It is because he is going to the east of the island to see Leonard.
“okay. bye.”
Lucas said frankly.
Whether she knew what he was thinking or not, Adelin moved on without looking back. It was the happiest looking back I’ve ever seen.
Lucas turned his back sadly. Jeniel headed to the confined cave, followed by Pavez in silence.
jerk- jerk-
in the forest of darkness.
Grass bugs crying sadly and the moonlight subdued.
Why do things that I normally think are beautiful look so shabby today?
Why do I feel so lonely?
······Probably because my heart is like that.
Lucas sighed softly.
“Fuck……”
We decided to walk on the beach together in the evening, but we were going to make a cool confession under the moonlight.
I also made a handmade seashell ring for today.
With Leonard’s appearance, everything collapsed. After hearing the news of him, Adelin talked about Leonard all the time, and headed east as soon as the sky darkened. He forgot his promise to himself.
As a result, Lucas is walking alone with Pavez, not Adelin.
Not on a beach full of romance, but in a forest full of emptiness.
Do you have a situation like this?
“Eight!”
Lukas kicked a pebble in the street. I shouted at the coolly rolling stones.
“Teenage, what are you going to see because you’re handsome? Leonard initiator. Anyway, just face it, I will kill half of you.”
It was then.
Swoop-
Pavez, who followed, suddenly took off the hood of his robe. I couldn’t see it, but I could hear it.
Anyway, why are you taking off the hood all of a sudden? Are you going to see Leonard too?
I was annoyed at the time, but it went well. I need to vent my anger.
Lucas frowned and turned his head away. He took a deep breath to let out a scream.
However, that breath soon leaked out with a soft elasticity.
“ah······”
There was no Parvez behind him.
Instead, a strange man stood there.
I’ve never seen it, but I think I know why.
Even in the dim moonlight, eyes that shine brilliantly and toxic white skin. A handsome man with a high nose and intelligent jawline.
It was Leonard Adonis.
I was swearing bitterly until just now.
Leonard Adonis, who said he would kill half of them if he met them.
“·······”
Lucas slumped in his place. On the other hand, Leonard silently looked down at Lucas.
His cold eyes, eyes filled with murder, seemed to squeeze Lukas’s heart. It was an indescribable feeling of pressure.
Lucas barely spoke with a trembling voice.
“Let’s try a 43-line poem.”
What did you say to Leonardo without knowing he was behind you, you little twit’s good-looking Leonard initiator. Anyway, just face it, I’ll kill half of it.
“ten.”
Leonard said.
Lukas started a flattering 43-line poem.
“Nine out of ten, Leonard is the best defense wizard who only cares about the safety of the empire.”
“nine”
“…?”
But the answer that came back was bizarre.
The next rhyme is ‘bird’, so why ‘gu’?
Couldn’t it be… It wasn’t luck, it was a countdown?
Lucas looked blankly at Leonard.
Meanwhile, Leonard’s countdown continued.
“eight.”
“·······”
“seven.”
“······sa, please save me.”
