"Summons the Second Apostle 'Changing Girl' Verviette, the Third Apostle 'Butterfly of Hades' Franbel, and the Sixth Apostle 'Star of the Stars' Goth."

"The Seventh Apostle 'Devil's Nails' Simon, there is still unfinished business in the world under the clouds, so you should make one more trip."

"Under the Apostles, all the inhabitants of the city of Palamedes shall not leave the region without the order of the lord of the city. All residents are prepared for emergency evacuation. ”

……

Goth's mage Tari. A few days ago, when he stayed in this mage tower that was "never used" in the public's impression, it caused some commotion.

As he meditated, he slowly raised his head.

"Is it finally going to start?" He muttered to himself.

……

Holding the Staff of Sigmund, Verviel stands at the top of her Mage's Tower.

……

Downtown, Fran worriedly looks at the "dark dome" where the teacher is.

Is the teacher, who has been doing nothing, finally going to take action?

……

"There is no need to doubt, there is no need to hesitate," the voice of the Black Lord Palamedes echoed in the ears of the three disciples, "There is no need to be confused about the choice of a teacher. The next thing you have to do is listen to my word and then relay it to the people I appoint. ”

His voice was unusually gentle, with a refreshing magic.

"Victoria ......"

On the streets of the Black Floating City.

Dimi, who was holding the girl's hand, looked at the hand beside him suspiciously. Not only a few "Black Apostles", but the girl and Dimi also heard the voice of the Black Lord.

"Let's go, too," the girl smiled, she already knew what the Black Lord was saying, and she and Mister Palamedes were the only people in the world who knew the whole story, "Go back to the Empire and pass the news back." ”

"Let's go home." Dimi said.

The gentle wind of late spring blows on the earth above the clouds.

The final showdown...... It's about to kick off.

--------------

The French state of Errios, led by Fedorovich.

In a mountain village in the northernmost part of the territory.

Elrios' golden generation, "The Hermit of the Sea" Treno? Ramanta Sennis sighed. Hiding in the village reminded him of life in seclusion on the shores of the Donoz Sea, the largest inland lake in the clouds.

But even the Donoz Sea is much better than here......

It is true that the grandmother who provided herself with a place to live took good care of herself. She had some ears behind her ears and a pair of children were not around, and Trenaud took the initiative to take care of all the household chores herself. For the sake of secrecy, the grandmother still does not know Traynor's mage identity, and Trenor does not even dare to build a simple secret house.

Originally, Treno and the others came here because it was the hermitage of the Lord of the Fog Hide.

The mage secret place of the Lord of the Mist, the "Mist Hidden Secret Realm", is indeed in this small village. Now that the legend of the French Power has withered, the oldest and most mysterious female legendary mage of the French Power is almost the last person in Errios who can provide shelter to the "Golden Generation".

The Legendary Mage's Secret Vault must be extraordinary, but ......

According to the rules set by the Lord of the Mist, only women are allowed to enter, and Treno can't enter.

So...... He had to stay with his good friend Luke in the village closest to the Secret Place. His former attendant, Morgana, who is now also a "golden generation", has also given up living in the secret room these days and is often with him.

After the battle of pure white, some people also fled here. Even the bandits in the hinterland of the French power, who had disappeared for an unknown number of years, have now reappeared.

The "Wild Roses", driven from the big city by the Okadians, took on the task of guarding the village—the Okadians were far from being able to penetrate every ravine. In Errios, there are many more such places. Under Treynor's covert guidance, there were a few more former students from Solidar College in the village, led by Roy? Clovis.

Although, this kind of daily day is not bad to do farm work and bask in the sun...... Treno thought sullenly, but if this continued, the counterattack on Nicholas would be far away.

He sat at the door of the house and watched the villagers come and go. It was only when his eyes fell on Morgana, who was drying clothes not far away, that a smile appeared on Trenor's face.

Today, there are a few more faces in the village, including a black-haired girl who looks to be only sixteen or seventeen years old, with a thin sword pinned to her waist, who is said to be an intern of the guild.

……

"Eluka," said the former head of the guild gratefully, "thank you for your hard work. We don't have enough people. ”

Eluka smiled brightly.

"It's my job." She said.

"We didn't call new people to deal with it in the past...... But it's good that you're not hurt. The person in charge left in a hurry.

Now, like unregistered mercenaries, the "Wild Roses" can only operate in the gray area.

Not far away, villagers are busy stripping the fur of a dead gray wolf.

The person in charge initially gave Eluka the task of finding the playful children in the village. As a result, Eluka returned with not only the child, but also a dead wolf.

Although the wild wolves in the vicinity were not fierce, in the eyes of the head of the guild, Eluka's fencing skills were practiced against human opponents, and it was not easy to deal with this wild animal, so I am afraid that it was a thrilling situation at that time.

Originally, this kind of task would not have been assigned to her......

Even the person in charge didn't ask carefully, and he believed the child's story about "Sister Eluka suddenly appeared at the last moment".

……

"Then, in this way, you can move freely around the village."

"Eluka" muttered to herself.

This body is modeled after the appearance of Goth's distant relatives, and can be manipulated remotely. The physical fitness is barely good, but the spellcasting ability is very average.

Eluka sighed.

"Deliver the message...... It would be nice to let that Goth come by himself. It's time to need more relaxation. Hmm, I'd love to see him in women's clothes. ”

"Eluka" walked through the village and greeted every villager she met.

"When it's all over, let him use this doppelganger as well...... Well, in order to keep him from having a psychological burden, I have to tell everyone that the person who is using the 'Eluka' body right now is Goth. ”

"Eluka" knows why the person who came here to deliver the message was herself, not Goth.

Because...... The half-plane "Fog Hidden Realm" can only be entered by women.

"Fog Hidden Realm" ...... It was secretly established by the Lord of the Mist, and it belongs only to the paradise of female mages.

Even if male mages use transformation and doppelganger spells to disguise themselves, they can't hide from the eyes of the "Fog Hidden Realm". It is said that the "Fog Hidden Realm" distinguishes gender through concepts rather than souls, and even if you use master-level confusion control techniques to manipulate your own soul, it is useless.

……

"Eluka" walked to the well on the side of the village. A few meters away from the well, a dry laurel tree stood alone.

Villagers say that last year, the tree was still alive and well.

But this year...... After the beginning of spring, shortly after the Battle of Pure White, the evergreen laurel tree suddenly died overnight.

Eluka knows what that means.

The Great "Lord of the Mist"...... Her life has come to an end. Not from war, but from the debilitation of the curse of the soul.

At the end of his life, the "Lord of the Mist" still did a lot for Elrios. She destroyed the secret documents of the Council of Legendary Mages, and took the Golden Generation to the "Hidden Realm of Mist" to take refuge.

So...... It's time to reconnect.

I'm afraid that the current ruler of the "Fog Hidden Realm" will be the "puppet princess" Gloria? La Mantasenis. The characteristics of the "Fog Hidden Realm" are inherently inherently intolerant of male creatures, and as a result, her brother Traynor? La Mantasenis had to eat on his own.

If you want to convey the news, it is better to do it in the "Fog Hidden Realm".

Eluka reached out and caught the edge of Ishii. This doppelganger can only use the arcane realm of the sea of clouds, but it is enough. If a powerful Buddha-figure appears here, the other side may be wary.

Psychic power probes out. No one would have thought of ...... If you use the "teleportation technique" on the surface of the water at the bottom of the well, you will be able to communicate with the other plane.

[Hello. I am the messenger from the city of Palamedes, the second apostle, the "Empress of Change" Verviel. Please let me in, or speak to the ruler of the Realm. Belvey's gentle interrogation.

Half a day.

[Sister Belvier.] A familiar voice sounded.

["The Bright World"...... No. Miss Douglas? Instead, Verviel was taken aback.

[It's me.] Xiaowei said.

Vervielle smiled.

Xiaowei, who regained her body, left after recuperating in Floating City for a while. At that time, it was Bei Weier who personally sent Xiao Wei away.

If Xiaowei is the temporary owner of the Fog Hidden Realm...... Then, you can speak better.

"I've brought a strategy to fight back," Belvielle said, "Please let me in." 】
