Hermione, who had fallen asleep for some unknown reason, woke up, knowing that the Fool had agreed to give power to her magic-stealing ritual.

Subconscious hints? The gray mist swept through me and there was nothing, and I was a little more curious.

"You're awake."

Teresa, who was wearing a white gauze casual dress, looked at her with a face and a feeling that she couldn't speak.

"What's wrong?"

"Don't rest here in the future, the lounge is not used for sleeping. Spread it out and say that I, Teresa, don't let the guests sleep in the bed. ”

With that, she took out her tied blonde hair and handed it to Hermione.

"This is that Enise Kent. I haven't done anti-divination, you can confirm it. Materials are already being found, and some of them are precious and may take some time. ”

"Thank you."

"Just smile at me."

"You're not afraid of death."

"Because I've gotten to know you. You're not the kind of person who doesn't have feelings, and you're kind to everyone around you. ”

"It's best to use it, as you expect."

"It's not good to say it too clearly."

Ignoring Teresa, who continued to inquire, Hermione prepared to start divination.

The clear water from the kettle on the table floated into an ice mirror, and the hair in his hand dissipated and melted into it.

Sixteen or seventeen-year-old girls, who have grown up to be generous, practice the etiquette of smiling in a well-decorated house, with mechanical aids in their mouths to keep smiling.

Wearing a tunic vest and lotus shorts, he listened to the instructions of his instructor again and again.

The light-colored pupils looked firmly and confidently ahead, and the long blonde hair spread out on the back.

"You believe it now, but I can't control that side, so I can only say some good things."

"It's okay, thank you." Hermione terminated the ice mirror's image and made it disappear.

"Aren't you going to take her back? This one can also be traded. ”

"Everyone has their own growth trajectory, I can't interfere directly, as long as she lives well."

"What a callous! I'll take care of it once in a while, after all, it's the key to getting big customers. ”

Theresa chatted with her for a while before leaving to go about her own business, and Lucy was probably digesting the notes for the next mission and didn't have time to come to her.

Hermione, who was a little bored, tried to summon Isolda, but when the other party was about to come here, she didn't come out, and finally disappeared again.

It seems that we will have to find a new messenger to deal with the recent situation, and we can't keep losing contact like this, everyone will be worried.

Once she was ready to find the messenger, she recited the process several times.

"The spirits that roam in the upper realm...

Most of the people who came to apply were some spirits that were easy to disappear when they looked at it, and a few thorns with strong breath were directly torn into several pieces by her and thrown back.

Only a squirrel-like spirit satisfied her, with a pocket in front of her.

The strength is also good, probably in the high sequence, meek and cute to yourself.

But the flesh thorns that spread out on the back prove that this guy can't be judged from the surface.

Don't worry too much after signing the contract, and there will be no accidents if you are here.

"Go back, be careful not to be cut off." After stuffing a letter inside, the squirrel disappeared straight here.

Hermione got up and went to Teresa's telegraph room and sent a reply letter to Camary that she was still alive, so that Hans and they could not worry.

He also told Pritz's relatives and friends that his messenger had changed to a temporary one that he could use to contact him. You can't always trouble others.

In the evening, Teresa, who had a somewhat solemn face, found Hermione, who was sitting in the floor-to-ceiling window looking at the snow outside, and brought her a message.

"The Archbishop of Columpel of the Church has invited you to the city of Beaglet, where several people want to see you."

She sat down to the side and asked the maid who wanted to massage her to step down. Hermione could see that she was more than that.

"Are you having any troubles?"

"A lot, the Fenerport thing, the Rune thing. Do you remember the West West? The kid of the Cordez family. ”

"Didn't he go to the Southern Continent?"

"Yes, the island of Cornot has been besieged for a long time by the navies of Intis and Feneport, and the natives supported by it, and Rune's ironclad ships have also gone south."

"Vote for it, you have no chance of winning." Hermione is also helpless about this, just die less.

"Rune is still waiting to see if he will intervene, not necessarily to join the fray. Sisvester persuaded the remaining Vrsack forces on the island to hold out along with the natives. ”

"Is it that the transfer of interests has not been negotiated yet? They won't want all of them, except for those of your southern countries? ”

Teresa sighed, chatting with smart people can save trouble, and the hope part is here in front of the person.

"Yes, we didn't talk about that. The main problem was that the group of pirates supported by Rune no longer supplied the defenders of Cornot.

In particular, the shells and replacement parts of the six new double-lined breech guns on the high ground of the harbor were able to hold the port of Konott thanks to the support of that position.

Its range and accuracy were ahead of the enemy's sailing guns, and the rate of fire reached 10 rounds per minute.

Unless the natives and the Fenerport navy storm despite the heavy losses, it will only take advantage of Rune, who is watching the show.

The wear and tear caused by continuous use is also high, and it needs to be repaired and replaced after every major battle, and if the supply can't go up, I'm afraid it will only achieve the worst result."

"They want to pressure you to give up the port by doing this. It's not easy for you to buy six new large-caliber guns from Rune. I remember that it was not long before Rune broke through the technology of the hydraulic pneumatic aid and retraction device. ”

"They really have a good hand at it, the technology is all in their hands, and we have to keep buying their shells and parts. And now it's still giving them a hard time. Even if you don't get a satisfactory benefit in the end, a large amount of money on arms is enough to deal with the people behind. ”

"You're definitely not willing to invest so much, now are you looking for someone to replace that group of pirates to build a new supply line?"

"The Rune people are pretending to be stupid and not transporting it, so we have to find a way to send it. This is the case with small countries. ”

"I see, what about the pirates supported by the Church?"

"It is inconvenient for them to act openly to prevent the navies of various countries from finding an excuse to exterminate them, and they will escort the newly established fleet."

"So now it's up to Rune's attitude? Whichever side it falls, there will be a landslide victory. ”

Hermione analyzed that the Church of the God of Knowledge and Wisdom should be trying to help Cornott in the war.

But he is a member of the Church of Fools, so he can't act openly, at least he can't take a stand on the surface.

"Rune is now waiting for the fall of Konote Island, take out our 'agreement', and go up and take it directly."

Teresa, who had finished speaking, kept looking at Hermione, her eyes blinking twice, waiting for her words.

"My status does not allow me to intervene in your wars, and don't expect to help you repel those fleets with those requests."

"Just help me bring the first supplies up, the church has said that you will help us." Teresa walked over and grabbed Hermione's hands and put them to her chest with a pleading look.

"That's enough to hold out until the supply line is re-established, and I'm sorry for you, beautiful Austin."

"You're telling me to bring supplies from all over the island."

"Other artillery for coordinated defense also needs to be replenished, as well as guns and medicine for the wounded...

Listening to Teresa finish counting an arsenal, she almost didn't hold on.

Although all the space in the mirror can be reflected in it, this is really welcome.

For the sake of creating magic and helping me find those materials, it's okay to bring it with me.

Obtaining the magic ritual also happened to be given to Pope Derik and he was kept in the church, which can be regarded as an exchange of benefits.

"Do you want to bring two more missionaries?"

"It's not necessary, it's more useful for you to bring two officers than this."

"You can figure it out for yourself."

I didn't expect this kind of regional battle to last so long, and it was still good for Rune, who was not at a loss horizontally and vertically, to sit and watch the Diaoyutai.

"Is their main fleet coming?"

"No, most of them are mixed fleets with indigenous forces, otherwise we wouldn't be able to hold it for that long. There were several flagships mixed in, which put us under a lot of pressure. Now is not the time to tear your face. ”

"Is the Extraordinaire team up there okay?"

"If you can still maintain the situation, there will be no sage interfering."

After understanding the situation with Teresa, Hermione probably understood that going to Belgret City should be the candidate to take the pirate ship.

It just so happens that I am going to the depths of the Southern Continent, so I should take a circle to reach my destination.

"Watch your behavior."

Teresa huddled together with her, like a good sister, but she didn't know how much calculation there was under the smile.

"How do I contact you, after I have the information on those materials."

Hermione gave her the way to summon her messenger directly, so that they could use each other in the future. Goals of common interest are all collaborative.

"You are indeed from the Sauron family, no wonder it doesn't matter about all this."

"It's not anymore, just don't talk nonsense, it's unlucky to be found by my enemy, don't blame me."

The next morning, Hermione and Teresa sent Lucy, who was going back to Langeburg to go to Fenerport with Fallon, and then went to meet with Heinrich.

He saw that Hermione had asked about the inside of Swan Castle first, and when he saw Hermione shake his head, he didn't mention it again.

For those few people's regrets, no one expected that North would suddenly be killed at that time.

A brief introduction to Konote Island and what to expect next.

He could only wait now, waiting for the outcome of the negotiations with Rune to make sure which side the ironclad's guns were aimed at.

As she was leaving, she went to meet with the local bishop Yanqi and told him about Garcia.

It's also a pity about the matter of Swan Castle, he didn't mention it, but just asked if he was in good shape and took more rest. It's like being poured a basin of cold water, it should have been told from above.

After Hermione and Teresa said goodbye and left, she didn't know what to tell them when she returned to Carmarytown. A bunch of things about myself are also worrying about myself.

"I'll have a good time, I'm back to Iblot, and you're always welcome, my princess."

Teresa, who had changed into a men's white suit, was a little more heroic and sent Hermione to the train station.

"I'm the duke's daughter, not the princess, goodbye."

Seeing Hermione's disappearing figure in a few clicks, Teresa's face returned to calm and became a little more calm.

"It's hard to confirm, Evina is the female name that has been used in the Sauron family, and Hermione is trying to determine which Evina it is. It can't be an old monster that has always survived before, right? ”

Teresa asked the coachman to drive back, and pondered on it.

The steam whistle sounded, and Hermione stepped off the train to the city of Beaglet, the largest city in the South.

It is a thriving place in the mountains, with a large river scouring out a huge valley plain, surrounded by hills, and the city runs along the river.

When riding in a private carriage, the street in front of me was blocked by the police, and as a result, all the traffic was crowded behind, and those who overtook in the wrong direction made it impossible to turn the horse's head and leave.

No way! Hermione had no choice but to give the coachman half of the fare, and landed on the road towards the church of St. Ottini, which was shown on the map.

The dense streets of the area above are not friendly at all, and even those with poor brains can't understand it.

She picked the fastest streets to walk through, regardless of their crampedness and crowding, and avoided them unless they tasted wrong.

"Miss, is it your first time in Beaglet? Need me to show you the way? ”

The few people lying in the passage shifted their positions appropriately.

"Hand over the money on you and I'll let you pass, don't force me to do it."

The woman, whose face was a little haggard and fierce, pulled the still shabby gray skirt on her body, and directly wanted to come over and take the box in Hermione's hand.

Then the debris who fell to the side coughed heavily, and his body was weak, as did the others.

Hermione continued to walk forward as if nothing was wrong, and saw some children crouching there on either side of the narrow aisles of the front and back houses.

The environment inside was dim, with only the light of a crack above.

Muddy puddles and rancid smells are standard, and the windows of the buildings above are closed with iron bars.

When the children saw Hermione parked there, they hid behind some clutter, and some of them sat there and watched boldly.

Tattered clothes, gray face, messy hair, numb and dull eyes.

Sighing, she wanted to continue walking, but the girl who showed half of her body behind the tattered wooden frame combed the dirty hair on her forehead with her hands, and stared at her with a slightly chubby little face, showing a hint of a smile and hiding back.

"Are you still abandoned? Olivia. ”

Hermione stepped inside, came to the back of the rotten wooden frame, and crouched down without caring about the mess around her. Olivia sat down at the clutter and looked at her, a smile tugging at the corners of her mouth.

The body was wrapped in rags of a tattered coat, and a small hole was cut between his hands, and a small hole was poked out of the edge of the fit and tied with a rope. On the feet were rotten shoes wrapped in rags, and several pieces of cloth were tied there with ropes.

The smell has long since assimilated to this place, the dark walls behind it are covered with dirt, and the blankets on the cushions are like black charcoal.

Lying here, she probably used up her last strength to greet herself just now. His eyes were a little gloomy, and his body was in a state of weakness.

The other children watched from afar with some fear, and the coughing sound outside was constant, which was very intoxicating.

"I'm on my own, just like you."
