Chapter Seventy-Six: The Message
"Demons?!How could something like that happen!" Demea was the first to speak, "Are you sure it's a demon, not another demon?"
He questioned the soldiers who had come to report it, for fear that he had misheard. Pen Γ fun Γ Pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
But the soldier's answer was simple and straightforward.
"You can't go wrong...... The demon...... I've killed a lot of people...... Everyone...... People don't know what to do!"
As he spoke, the soldier wept bitterly.
"Damn, at this time. Luke, who was the commander of the guard, gritted his teeth, he also understood what the word demon meant, and he patted the soldier on the shoulder, "Now is not the time to cry, immediately mobilize all the people in the city who can fight, and also, immediately ask the Adventurers' Association for help." β
"Yes, I'll do it at once!" the soldier was encouraged by Luke and hurried to carry out the order.
"Kador, now that the situation is urgent, I'll go back and stabilize the scene first. With that, Luke nodded at him, and he left the underground prison in a panic.
"Demons? I heard it was a terrible creature that could destroy a town...... Is this border city of mine going to ...... today?"
The lord of the city, Cador, muttered to himself, clenched his fists, and turned his gaze to Dimea.
"What should I do now, Lord Demea?"
"Demons?" Dimeia browled her eyebrows, "Don't panic, there have been demons in the royal capital in the past, and they have not been solved by our paladins, and it may be more difficult for you to solve it yourself, so leave this matter to me." β
Demea leaned in front of the city lord Kador, "City lord, don't worry, with the paladin here, the border city will not be destroyed." β
With that, Demea turned to look at Ais, who was standing in the prison where the gate had been broken.
"The matter of the little brother is almost settled, so I'll take this book with me for the time being. β
Demea waved at Ays and left the cell with a smile.
"Lord Kador...... Are you going to let Ais go?"
Leo asks Kador that even if he doesn't like Ais, he still wants to help Ais at a critical time.
But the city lord looked a little irritable.
"It's really troublesome one after another, put him in the cell next door first, and then decide what to do with it tomorrow. β
"Yes. β
Leo bowed slightly, and then opened the iron door of the cell next to him, which was still intact, as the city lord had said.
"There is a demon, I have to go and see Rezeta, Leo, call all the private soldiers hired by the mansion, even if this border city is destroyed, I can't let the demon enter the mansion and hurt my Rezeta!"
"Yes. β
Leo saluted reverently, and the lord of the castle blew his beard and glared at Ais, and turned away with a cry of desire to comfort his daughter.
"Ayce, it looks like I'm going to have to work you for a while. β
After the city lord left, Leo finally dared to talk to Ais, and his tone was helpless, "Although your suspicion has been cleared for the time being, why didn't you tell the city lord when you got this kind of magic guide book?"
"I ...... I, it was Rezeta who told me to keep it a secret. β
"Is it Miss Rezeta's idea? Hey, I sometimes wonder if both the Lord of the City and I are too spoiled by Rezeta. β
"No, it's none of Razetta's business, Leo, don't tell the lord about Razetta, or Razetta will cry again. β
"Of course I know that Miss Rezeta is the treasure of this border city, and I will not let her cry no matter what happens. β
Leo said, as if caught in some strange fantasy.
"Ahem, anyway, you give me a good stay here, and I will find a way to intercede with the city lord. β
Leo slammed the door behind Ais's new cell, gave an explanation, and left with the light.
The clanging outer door slammed shut, and the underground prison was silent again.
Aiz sat down on the ground dejectedly and touched his empty stomach.
"At least give me something to eat before you go. β
"I've always felt like you're too naΓ―ve, Ais. "I flew out of Ais's pocket, and I finally dared to come out after everyone had left.
"Lord Magic Book, is it really good for us to deceive the City Lord like this?"
"Fool, if you don't do this, you will not only be kicked out of town, but you will be executed for being in the name of being in the same league as a monster. β
"No, it won't......"
Aiz was visibly frightened.
"Anyway, it's good for you to stay here honestly now, and you'll be safe when the limelight passes. β
Fortunately, my ploy managed to fool the paladin's eyes, but it's a little strange that the city lord didn't even find out that it was a book in his secret library?
Probably because there are so many books in the collection that I don't even remember myself, this is probably the luckiest thing.
"What about the Wizard Book?"
"Of course I can't stay here with you, it's so uncomfortable here, not to mention that they mentioned demons just now, have there been demons before?"
"Devil's words...... I remember hearing similar rumors a few years ago. β
"Tell me about it. β
"It seems that the magic of the royal capital used forbidden magic to summon the demon, but in the end, the demon went berserk and not only ate the summoner, but even caused a disaster in the royal capital. β
"Was it finally solved by that shemale knight?"
"Well, I don't know about this, it's just that rumors were circulating everywhere during that time, it is said that the kingdom specially sent paladins to fight demons, but the border city is far away from the king, although I heard all kinds of rumors, in fact, it was not affected. β
"Does that knight named Demea have the means to deal with creatures in another dimension?" I muttered, and maybe he wasn't joking when he said that he hadn't shown his real skills against me before.
"I'm a little concerned about something, I might have to go out first, it should be safer here, you stay honest. β
"Well, okay. Ais nodded in reply, and he suddenly looked up again, "Lord Wizard Book, can you help me see Rezetar by the way?"
"Rezeta?"
"She must be very sad that she was caught, if you can, can you tell Rezeta for me, that I'm fine, and tell her not to worry. β
"Phew, you guy really forgot your girlfriend in three sentences. β
"Ray and Rezeta aren't my girlfriends......"
"Well, I see, I'll help you deliver the message. β
"It would be nice if I could bring something to eat. β
"You guy...... Don't take an inch. "Hearing this guy's request after request, I honestly say that my head is big, but who made me a kind magic book, and when I come back, bring him something.
I made my decision and swooped through the crack in the iron railing.
Luckily, the outer door of the closed underground dungeon also had windows made of iron bars, allowing me to escape quickly.
"Did the demon come out again at this time?" I muttered to myself as I flew away from the mansion, always feeling foreboding. I'll put aside the message to Rezeta, I'll have to go out of town anyway.
If demons were allowed to break into this town, it would be all over.
