12. The date on which the agreement is realized
81_81228 Mia still didn't catch up with Mamon after all, and the fact that the two sides are not the same attribute is not mentioned for the time being, and what really made Mia decide to give up chasing is that Lilith is here.
She didn't choose to fight with the princess meaninglessly, but chose to bring the chess pieces around her to negotiate. Content......
It must have something to do with Verard, after all, losing the help of the vampire would definitely be a blow to Lilith anyway.
"Where's the princess?"
Hurried to the house where Anne was, but the princess, who had matured in a sense, was long gone, and only Lucifer waited in the room.
"Have you already gone to negotiate? This kind of thing should at least be discussed......
β......β
"Forget it, I'm self-inflicted. β
Mia, who calmed down, smiled self-deprecatingly, in the current situation, it was already a good thing that Anne didn't kill her, how could she bring herself when she met Lilith like this.
But the problem is that the Lilith she wants to meet is no longer the Lilith who will be with her. Could it be that the scar on her chest had been forgotten so quickly? Lilith had a penitential sadness on her face, but the moment she threw herself into Anne's arms, she turned into a triumphant smile.
Some...... Terror. It's exactly the same as the mother in my memory.
"Lucifer, tell me about the situation. β
β...... The princess had already left first, and I did not persuade her. I'm sorry. β
Lucifer sighed, of course. This is not her responsibility at all. In other words. Now Lucifer couldn't persuade Anne at all.
"Lilith didn't bring the troops with her. Just brought the chess pieces and waited at the city gate. β
"Which pieces?"
"Loki, Yu, Loki's maid Faniel, already the bone dragon. β
This is no different from bringing the army......
"And...... Remember the paladin with her peculiar constitution, Dorana, who is also by Lilith's side now. β
Paladin?Why, shouldn't this be, the least likely person to travel with Lilith?
"Let's talk as we go. β
Intuition tells Mia that Alicia is back in the army this time. Something must go wrong, but there is no time left to think about it.
"Since it's a negotiation, what are the conditions? It should have something to do with Verard, right?"
"That's right. "Lucifer's look is very bad," she ...... Willing to trade the antidote to the plague for Verard......"
"Sure enough, it seems that the princess will not succeed no matter how much she researches. Most of the real source of the plague this time, the initial spread, I am afraid it was not by the teeth of vampires......"
While it's true that "hints" can only be used by vampires, only a small fraction of them are actually used so far. The vast majority of infected people are probably not ...... at all Bites.
But here's the thing. Who could have figured out such a terrifying drug that would make humans "alike" vampire?
......
The dark clouds in the sky had obscured the midday sun, making it look as gloomy as night, and by the time the anxious Mia and Lucifer arrived at the city gates, Anne seemed to be confronting Lilith.
But when it comes to confrontation, it's actually just a long distance away, staring at each other. Naturally, Asmill followed behind Anne, hugging Verard, who didn't know how he had been knocked unconscious.
The gates were quickly closed, and Samael hurried to the scene. This is a dangerous place that ordinary people are absolutely not allowed to approach.
"Ah, it's finally here, sister. β
In the distance, with Lilith's footsteps, her voice came.
There was not a hint of anxiety, nor a hint of anger, and it seemed that she didn't care about Verard's problem at all.
Sure enough, has Verard been treated as an outcast? Although this kind of thing will definitely be done on his own, but when it really happens in front of him, he still feels a little sorry for Verard.
Lilith herself should know best how faithful Villad was to her. Even so, is it still impossible to trust a pawn that has been captured by the enemy again?
"Since you're here, I'm going to give you the latest news. β
Lilith said, "Remember that Alicia, her forces have been defeated, frustrated by the Knights of the Round Table in the church. In other words, sister, you have one less chess piece. β
"It doesn't matter, Lilith......"
"Okay Mia, today's incident has nothing to do with you at all!"
Perhaps there was already something to rely on, Anne finally began to make a clear objection to Mia, "Stand down, the person she invited is me." β
β......β
"So, take your leave. β
Mia, who was driven away like this, naturally had no reason to stay here any longer, and after taking a deep look at it at the end, which was mostly caused by her, Mia turned to leave.
It seems that they have to prepare to get out of here, because both Lilith and the princess are hostile to each other, but they also have a common enemy.
Who that person is, it goes without saying.
......
"Explain your words, witch. Anne's hand clutching her chest loosened, "Moreover, it's just a bottle of antidote, as long as the vampire 'king' himself is there, it will ......."
"Then you can try, Verard I won't save anymore. However, even if you dismember her and make it with ashes, it is impossible to get the real medicine. β
Lilith shook the bottle in her hand, "Because it was Villard who bit you, and most of the infected are the real 'plague', my naΓ―ve princess." β
Real ...... Pestilence?
"Ah, I guess Dean Frey should know better. Dean, too, why do you have to do this pointless hiding?"
"If it was just a vampire infection, I would have a solution. But unfortunately not. Frey, who appeared next to Anne, took Anne's hand. Let her, who was still in a state of excitement, calm down a little. "I looked up the records. This plague is almost exactly the same as the plague caused by the medicine researched by Gul'dan, who was once the night witch's subordinate. Lilith ...... Why do you know about such a terrible thing!?"
Frey was furious, unlike Anne, she was really angry because of her anger, but in the next moment. She heard a name that stunned her.
"Bad...... Frey, is it really good to denigrate your own mother like that? This is just one of her studies. When a person is poisoned to death, it is not the poison that should be held responsible. β
"Mother...... Hey, Lilith!" Mother, speaking of her mother's words, could only think of one in Frey's mind.
Moreover, it is definitely not a lie, because her mother, really is an alchemist. It's just that even if Lilith can use some means to wake up the dead, but ...... Why is it ......
"Can't think of it?, Frei-chan?" Lilith laughed suddenly. At the same time, a woman slowly came out from behind the shadows.
Of course. She had long since become a dead person, and her unfocused pupils just stayed on Frey's body for a little longer, as if she was thinking about something, and then moved somewhere else.
It's just that it's a little strange, and even if it's a mother and daughter, it's absolutely impossible to keep a memory. This is a guarantee made by You.
Ghosts don't have memories of life.
"As I said, I'll come back to you with my aunt. Sorry to keep you waiting. β
"Mom...... Mom?"
Frey's pupils dilated for a moment, as if to confirm it, and she stared at Rena deadly, and soon, her gaze shifted back to Lilith's. Yes, Rena's recovery is still acceptable to her, but ...... Lilith who knew this qiΔ...... And what about her...... Isn't it......
The Heroic Spirits rushed over from all directions, but their bodies began to slowly dissipate, turning into bits of golden light and drifting into the air.
Frey knew why, so she blocked her ears, but even that couldn't stop Lilith's voice from coming to her ears after a long absence.
"Already, he's become a great astrologer, Frey. β
"Ah...... Yes...... You...... You ......"
Frei retreated, and the wolf wanted to flee from here, but her body couldn't even move, her body began to grow taller slowly, and her appearance gradually changed, as if she wanted to experience a complete life in just a few minutes.
Frey is old, and the only condition that has been forgotten by time for all the reasons why she has maintained her appearance and vitality is to wait for this moment when Alice and Rena will return to her side, a moment that I have been aware of at some time and will never appear.
However, she really came. A witch named Alice, and a mother who has long since died. These are not real meetings, but there is no way to deny it in my heart.
Because, after waiting for a hundred years of agreement, I am looking forward to it...... Too......
"Dean!" Anne hurriedly held Frey, who had lost her strength, but could do nothing but look at her little change in countenance.
"......Shh What's going on?"
Aspa on the side hurriedly freed up a hand and knocked it on the back of Frey's head.
It's a brutal and straightforward approach, but it's also the most effective. Frey, who had fainted, finally stopped growing in appearance. Only the tightly propped clothes and the face of the previous Lori face that could be vaguely seen were left.γ
"It's too much...... Why, why did you do it!"
Anne yelled at Lilith, who just looked around as if the qiΔ had nothing to do with her.
Why, she was able to do this, even the esteemed dean?
β...... Well, I've seen enough boring emotional dramas. I'm the real antidote here, hurry up, trade it for Verard. β
(Originally, I wanted to write about wars, because there should be such a routine anyway, but when I was about to start writing, I realized that I didn't know how to write at all...... Therefore, since I will not die at all, I will bring the war part with a small narrative. It's mainly about pushing the plot.,To be honest, I don't know if it's not in a good state or the plot has become weird.,It feels super hard to write.γ (To be continued......).
