"So why are we here?"

"Huh...... Actually, I would like to know this question as well. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ”

The two looked at each other in silence, but Kyle was the only one who was embarrassed, and Troy's innocent eyes made the "busy" captain of the garrison feel as if he was doing something wrong.

And he really didn't do it, or rather, he was confused about what he was doing at the moment.

"Well, maybe it's to relax?"

The knight didn't even believe the words he had managed to utter, and his fingers, covered with new iron gloves, tapped against the solid rock wall in front of him, and Kyle pondered the true meaning of Ekavia sending him here with a sad face.

-- This is definitely a punishment for my reckless behavior two days ago......!

When you think about it, it doesn't seem like such a simple thing.

"Relax, what do you mean?"

If you don't believe it, this "simple" teenager seems to believe it.

Of course, this did not please the knight at all.

"Ah, that's it...... Hmm, feel relaxed? Hah! You don't have to say, I know you don't understand what 'easy' is, let me think about it, it's ......."

"Easy, I understand. ”

"Haaa......"

"But I didn't feel relaxed here, did I?"

"Hmm...... Who knows?"

- No, no, no, no, I'm thinking too much, and this is really a punishment! Let me come to this hellish place with this boy who is enough to drive normal people crazy or something.

"Ah, really, my head is going to explode. ”

Such bitter self-talk came from Kyle's shriveled lips, and at this moment, his only hope was:

"Don't ask me why my head exploded!"

......

......

......

The reason why Kyle and Troy are staring at the rock wall here is actually quite simple, and it is precisely at the behest of Ekavia.

After the dinner party for Lance's team, the female lord gave the captain of the garrison two new tasks overnight.

One of them is that the purpose is to sell more favors for the "association", to receive the priests and his party who came to the capital of the flower moon from the "capital of the rising sun", and to ensure his safety during his stay in the capital of the flower moon.

The second is that while the priest "prays" for the people of Lance's team to quickly restore their vitality, he takes the only survivor of the nameless village, Troy, to the outskirts of the city. The reason for this mission is not stated, but there is a note that Troy must be taken alone.

"No matter what means you take, in short, you can think about the reason for taking him there!"

At the end of the instruction, there is a sentence that seems to carry a lot of resentment, which makes Kyle laugh dumbly when he sees it.

"It's true, as if I can see the corners of the adult's mouth. ”

What few people know is that the adult, who is loved by the people of the whole peninsula, does sometimes have a childish side in private.

"Although I was a little concerned about why I didn't ask the priest to treat me by the way, but the point was really in the back, to bring the boy to the 'ruins'? What is the reason? Well, this is not something I should consider, but for what reason should I bring the boy out?"

Kyle doesn't know why he sent this mission, but since it was the orders of Lord Ekavia as a lord, Kyle, as a subordinate, had to carry it out.

"Regarding the magic inherited from the boy, the essence of the scarlet tentacles is actually Lord Ikavia's preliminary guess, but more conclusive evidence is needed, so do you need to take the boy to the ruins on the outskirts of the city?"

After thinking about it, he didn't think of a very reasonable reason, and Kyle, who had to use this improvised fabrication, unexpectedly obtained the consent of Moore and Vina. They did seem to want to know the essence of the boy's magic, and if he thought about it, Kyle felt that the reason why the other party would agree to such a request so easily must have been at the previous dinner party, and the adult had revealed it before.

Of course, it's also possible that they just trust the female lord too much as they do, and maybe they don't need to make up such a reason that they might get into it......

......

......

......

Of course, the knights at that time did not know that Troy was such a "troublesome" existence. Now that I think about it, being alone with this teenager who lacks common sense is simply a huge challenge to my own ability!

Still, it looks like the Knight has found the right way to get along with this teenager who always asks crushing questions.

"This ruin was discovered by Lord Ikavia in the year 487 of the New Earth Calendar, and the Rock Hall where we were was was a hiding place for the 'Underground Mercenaries'. And when the army of the Flower Moon City cleared the underground mercenaries and searched here, an unexpected collapse accident made us discover that there was a hole in this place, and there was such a road inside. ”

"Hmm. ”

-- It's like this. The way to talk to Troy without going crazy is to talk to him for a long time in a row, so that he can't grasp one of the words and ask questions.

"The staircase we're traveling on now is clearly artificial, but why would such a thing be built underground? Another strange thing is that caves like this underground "Rock Hall-Staircase" structure have been discovered many times over the years. Well, just to be on the safe side, this has been sealed by enchantment magic, so that's where our 'Adventure' ends. ”

Knowing that the seal ahead is where the seal is, the elf of light magic surrounds the body for lighting function, and after he stretched out the words, he really didn't hear any more questions, which made Kyle's heart a little excited, but having come here, the boy has not appeared in any abnormal situation, which means that his "guess" is really wrong.

"Ha, my mission is done, but how do I explain to Mohr?"

If it weren't for the fact that this would make the essence of the Crimson ** power manifest - to be honest, it might just be Kyle's incomprehension and curiosity after seeing the incredible power of these tentacles in his previous combat power, then why would Ikavia make such a completely unwarranted arrangement?

"Troy?"

"Huh?"

Just as the knight was deep in thought, all of a sudden, the magic power of the young man behind him instantly increased to a terrifying level, which made Kyle turn his head in surprise and at the same time raise a glimmer of hope.

However, hope did not last long.

The boy did not show any unusual changes in his body, and the sudden increase in magic power was restored to its original state in the blink of an eye.

"Kyle?"

"Hah...... Maybe it's just my delusion. Forget it, go back!"

"So why are we here?"

“......”

So, there is no doubt that Kyle eventually came to the conclusion that this "trip to the ruins" was really just a "small" punishment for Ikavia's own crimes.

Of course, the knight did not know that this seemingly meaningless move would bring great variables to the future of this young man who had long been targeted by the whirlpool of "fate", and with him as the center of the whirlpool, the fate of countless people would be rewritten because of this.

In Southwell, there's always the darkness that no one knows about it.
