Sean didn't stay much in Old Tacoma, and was ready to go back after checking out the Frontier Army camp almost on the third day.

The city of Tacoma was just a place to be checked out that day, especially those that the Edak merchants hadn't visited...... In fact, Sean could see that these people were not telling the truth, although the old city of Tacoma was large, it had been almost two months since the last incident, and since the resumption of the trade route, there are many merchants of Edak who have stayed here, and they should have searched all the places they could have searched a long time ago.

If there was such a book, it would have been taken away a long time ago!

But then again, could it be that the book that Alphonse held up as the supreme book happened to be in this city?

The world is so big, it's hard to come across a chance to do everything...... Sean thought about it must have something to do with the octopus man Westman and those deep divers at the time, maybe something caused him to turn into that terrifying appearance in the end.

Because he was not the leader of the team at that time, and even Sean hid his identity for a while, although Frelia occasionally communicated with her in private about some problems, but the two had few opportunities to meet after all, and they all sneaked around from the tunnels of the military camp.

And when she sent herself back, a large part of the Black Feather Knights and the Wizards remained in Tacoma City, and perhaps she didn't fully know about some of the things.

The Necronomicon may be hard to find, but the statue of an unknown material caught Sean's attention.

When asked about the Adak merchant, he couldn't tell what it looked like, because he hadn't seen it......

I've just heard people say it's very attractive, it looks very weird, but it has a unique attraction.

When asked what the unique attraction was, the businessman's reply stunned both Sean and Joseph......

The businessman's reply was to learn someone else's tone.

[If I could, I would like to keep it for myself.] 】

The important thing is not this sentence but the expression on the other party's face, I don't know if it is to learn from those people or if he deliberately makes this appearance, when he said this sentence, the fierceness and longing, even the bloody Joseph felt a chill down his spine.

After that day, Joseph said several times to Sean that the businessman's expression would always linger in front of his eyes, and he felt that he had become the one caught in it.

And on the same day, I was awakened in a dream for this......

Statue.

It's also fascinating!

Sean paints in his head what he can think of, and perhaps there is some kind of magic in it that causes those who see it to be almost crazy to get it.

But since this thing has been taken out of the country, it will be difficult for him to recover it, and there is not even room for conversation.

Both in day-to-day communication and at the national level...... The Zambutar region and the Aidak region can only be regarded as ordinary diplomatic relations, and in private, people in the two regions complain about each other, and if they want to ask for something or want to understand the situation, they will probably be blocked by the managers of the opposite city.

Maybe this should be another inquiry into Frelia...... After all, she had been there for a while, and she might be able to find out part of the situation.

Since his territory is too close to the two realms, he must be prepared to eliminate any possible threats.

"Your Excellency. ”

Joseph, who was behind him, rushed forward to speak.

"Your face is not very good, did you still not sleep well last night?" asked Sean curiously.

It shouldn't be~

Anyway, Joseph is also a sergeant major, and he has not said anything before, but who has never seen one or two dead people who survived the Tacoma incident, was actually frightened by a strange and hideous smile, and to this day he is in a trance!.

If it weren't for the fact that he didn't feel anything abnormal, the merchant who had been added that day was just an ordinary human, and Sean would have almost felt that the other party had unleashed a spell that terrified the battle-hardened veteran.

"It's a little, but it's okay. It should be fine today. He said it reluctantly, and his face became more and more ugly.

"I'm curious, Joseph. You are also a sergeant major who has been promoted normally, you should have seen a lot of things that ordinary people have not seen, think about your majestic appearance that day, you were still scaring the other party before, but the businessman said a word that scared you like this. "Seeing that there is no one around, Sean will also joke with the sergeant major.

On weekdays, the two rarely have the opportunity to communicate, but the other party is also a general around him, so he should write more to understand.

"Hey ......"

Joseph was also a little embarrassed to bare his teeth, a big beard was obviously very manly, but his courage was unexpectedly small!

"Actually, I just remembered something in my heart when I saw the man's appearance. ”

"Oh, what's the matter? ”

The other party smiled awkwardly, but Sean saw the state of [have something to say!] above the other party's head.

"There's still a long way to go, so let's talk about your story. ”

"Actually...... That look I saw once when I was very young, a good friend of mine, and he had that look on his face when I saw him for the last time. ”

"What happened to him after that?" asked Sean curiously.

"Dead. ”

"Died in a horror tale. ”

This made Sean even more curious, what does it mean to die from a legendary story?

"What's going on......"

"Just as there are weird and grotesque stories everywhere, there are weird stories that have been passed down from generation to generation when we were children...... I live in a remote mountain village in the Oro region, which is called Tacoma, but the story takes place much earlier, when there was no Oro City, or just a small village. ”

"A woman named Marianne who lives in the forest all year round......"

Joseph's story is the same as the one that Sean often hears about in the hotel.

A lonely old man who lives in a dark forest, and then behaves strangely and terrifyingly, people often see her in various parts of the forest, and there are many explanations about her origins, and in the final analysis, the most speculation is that the other party's evil demon incarnation.

"When we were children, the most terrible thing we feared was being watched by Marianne, because those eyes seemed to take you into the abyss. When Joseph spoke of this, he was still in a state of "fear!"

"But you're fine now. ”

"Yes, but one of my friends was not so lucky, he disappeared after being watched by Marianne, and that day he ran into the forest and disappeared that day......"

"Is that the one you were talking about?" asked Sean.

"Yes, but then we found him eight days later, and you can't imagine how a child could have lived in that kind of jungle for eight days, and I am a little scared when I think about it now. Joseph suddenly looked at Sean, his expression still unable to hide his horror.

"He ended up going crazy, and the last time I saw him, he had that weird smile......"

"And told me that he would come back sooner or later!"
