311 – The Wagon Wheels Stop (1)
After Leonard’s death, the right to command all demons passed to Monia, the only surviving member of the royal family.
However, now that Chester’s recovery was more important to Monia than the problem of the devil, she decided to put the devil aside and call on her friends to transform her secret warehouse into an environment where it would be easy for Chester to recover. .
The three of them, Urgo, Sena, and Rex, who were resting outside, were called down and were surprised to see the devil standing unharmed, but after being convinced by Monia’s explanation, they helped Monia and Rex organize the secret warehouse.
After cleaning Leonard’s body as well as the entire secret warehouse that had been left a mess due to Leonard and Chester’s fight, it was decorated so that Chester could rest comfortably.
After gathering the items that were still in good condition and making them into a makeshift bed, he went inside the warehouse, took some expensive fabric from among the treasures stored there, covered it on the makeshift bed, laid Chester down on it, carefully folded the fabric to make a pillow, and covered him with a blanket. I gave it.
Then, they went into the secret storage room deeper than the room they fought in and started looking for the item they wanted.
“Oh, this necklace seems expensive.”
What Lorwan mainly looks for are expensive items that can be exchanged for money.
He said he wanted to buy horses and armor with the money he earned here and start his life again as a wandering knight, not a mercenary, in a continent he knew nothing about.

“There are a lot of weapons and armor here, so why don’t you get them here?”
“No, that’s it. “I don’t know if it’s a weapon, but there’s no armor that fits my physique.”
“Ah… ….”
“Even words… Since they are all sturdy horses, it is difficult for me to ride them. “I like horses my size.”
A famous horse prepared for the Sky Knights, and armor or weapons prepared in a secret warehouse. There were many good things, but other than the weapons, Lorwan had trouble keeping them.
“Then I’ll give you something that’s easy to sell and easy to exchange for money. “Because we need something similar.”
Monia began helping Lorwan by giving him treasures that he could easily exchange for money.
The value of jewels and accessories was so high that it was difficult to exchange them for money at jewelry stores in most cities.
Therefore, rather than packing a lot of things just because they look expensive and making your pockets heavy, it is better to take along items that can be easily converted into money anywhere.
Of course, it is not a bad idea to keep some very expensive gold and silver treasures with you in case a big problem arises.
“If I take this, I’ll be able to ask a decent nobleman to do some work, right?”
“…… “Why are things like that stuffed in the corner of the warehouse?”
“I don’t know?”
Urgo was looking at the huge sword hanging on the wall like a decoration.
“Hmm.”
“What’s wrong?”
Sena, who was looking curiously at the ancient gold coins piled up in the box, saw Urgo looking at the great sword.
“No, the ax got bent a lot during the fight this time. “I can still use the axe, but I thought I’d use this opportunity to change it.”
Urgo showed his axe.
Urgo’s ax is made entirely of steel and is a vicious weapon in itself. A weapon that can literally destroy everything in the world if you can wield it.
In this battle where all kinds of artifacts were wielded, Urgo performed as well as anyone else using only his strength and an ordinary axe.
But eventually the limit came.
After constantly pounding the demon knights wearing hard armor, the ax blade was horribly crushed and bent and twisted deep in its core. Sena thought for a moment. She can still use this?
“Shall we listen?”
Urgo lowered his axe, grabbed the great sword hanging on the wall with his hand, and pulled it straight.
The fasteners that were firmly embedded deep in the wall that had fixed the great sword to the wall were torn away, and the great sword was in Urgo’s hands.
It was a weapon that the average person could never use properly. It’s so big and heavy. Additionally, the decorations were excessive and extravagant.
“This is a bit annoying.”
Urgo ripped off the useless decorations on the greatsword with his hands and replaced it with a reasonably good greatsword that fit his hand.
Then, I went to a space where there were no people or objects around, swung around a bit, and nodded in satisfaction.
“Not bad.”
“There are a lot of weapons? “Is this a command plane?”
Senna grabbed a handful of ancient gold coins and then looked at her flags lining the wall.
“Ah, these are the flags that the family used when going to war. …… Uh, there’s something behind it.”
Monia put her flag away and looked at the picture hanging on the wall behind her.
“Wow.”
The painting hidden behind the flag was so beautiful that anyone who saw it would be amazed.
Monia and Sena talked while looking at the paintings.
“Monia.”
“Huh?”
“Have you talked to your father?”
“Hmm.”
Monia, who pondered Sena’s question for a moment, smiled and thought before nodding her head.
“If it were a conversation, maybe it was a conversation?”
“How was it?”
To ask if it ended well, it was. No matter how you look at Chester and Rex, it didn’t end well.
“I feel so sad. “I feel like it’s all over.”
As Monia spoke, she picked up one of the flags she had knocked down, then unfolded it and looked at the ducal family emblem.
“My dad, you’re older than I thought. She didn’t know at first because she was wearing armor, but she found out when she was cleaning up the body. “I got gray hair and wrinkles increased.”
Sena listened to Monia’s story as she watched her pick up her flag and slowly untie it from her pole.
“And you were stronger than I thought. Maybe my dad was actually a greater person than I thought he was. The dad I remembered…… Well, he was the one who forcefully educated me, telling me every day that you should be like this or that.”
So, as a reaction, she may have impulsively done what she wanted when dealing with subordinates like Chester.
“There are probably more things I don’t know than things I know.”
After taking one of her flags, Monia stopped there and closed her mouth.
“I don’t know. Her mind is complicated. She didn’t mind when she killed Tiara. After all, are blood relations a bit different?”
Monia turned her head and smiled as she remembered her Chester resting outside her shed.
“Well, I don’t mind if my feelings are a little complicated. “If time went back anyway, I would make the same choice.”
Monia said she needed to find something for Chester, so she headed to another area of the warehouse.
Sena, who was watching this quietly, looked at the back of Monia, who looked relaxed as if she had somehow lifted a heavy burden.
She felt a little envious of Monia’s back, although it’s hard to say that it was a sentiment she felt while watching her daughter kill her father just moments ago.
‘Once they finish their trip, what am I going to do from now on?’
Urgo decided to return to the plains, and Lorwan said he would live as a wandering knight in another land.
While everyone is deciding on their own future, what do you want to do and how do you want to do it?
‘Let’s continue our journey, follow Urgo’s meadows, and… ‘Hmm?’
Then, should I travel alone again? But it felt very lonely and lonely.
Sena is a person who naturally likes people. The period in which she traveled alone was very short, and during her time as a knight, she had a long period of time where it was difficult for her to become friends with people because of Hope, so she tried to become friends with the Chester family, who she thought were in a similar situation to herself. It was enough to give that away.
As she has that kind of personality, it was a little difficult for her to imagine traveling alone.
‘Should I settle down and have a family?’
It was too late for her to have a family. Maybe it’s because the living environment on the Tongdan continent is harsh, but they especially have a culture of having children and families at an early age.
If she had lived according to the continental tradition, Sena would have already had a husband and had six to eight children, and the first child she would have was the one she would soon marry. It was age.
That’s why she felt very awkward now that she was thinking about getting married. Marriage. She settled down and lived.
“Hmm.”
Sena, who was sighing in her worries, suddenly turned her head and looked at the others.
The first thing that caught her eye was, of course, Rex. Rex, who was the closest friend of hers and with whom she had developed the strongest internal intimacy, was playing around with her wearing various accessories on his body and seemed to be thinking deeply about something about her.
Sena approached Rex and asked.
“Rex, why are you doing this?”
“Huh? No.”
As Rex ran her fingers around the bead-shaped puzzle containing the ancient pattern in her own hands, she seemed to think about something and then opened her mouth.
“I was wondering what I would do when Mom and Dad go back to the island.”
“Huh? Rex won’t go back?”
“…… Not yet? I want to see more, I want to know more. “There are many places I haven’t been to.”
With that said, Rex showed her the large painting he had placed at his feet.
It looked like a painting, but it looked worn out and out of place in this treasure trove, as if it had been worn by many people. It was a very rare and unique item.
World map.
“Oh my.”
Of course, there is such a thing as a map depicting the entire continent. There are also maps of other continents in nearby waters.
But, what a world map.
“… ….”
Senna looked at the world map that Rex showed her, then she smiled and looked at Rex and said.
“Then Rex.”
“Huh?”
“After Chester and Monia return to the island, would Rex want to look at this map and travel with me?”
“Travel?”
“Yes. Let’s check for ourselves whether this is a real map of the world. If you don’t think so, let’s make a world map ourselves. How is it?”
After hearing Sena’s words, Rex nodded his head with a brightened face.
“Yes! Good! “I think it’ll be fun.”
“Right? “It will definitely be fun.”
