Din no Monshou

We made it through the ice bridge, but the ordeal wasn't over.

The ground across the shore was completely frozen.

Apparently, it was originally part of a large water source around here as well.

Was it producing unsoluble ice on such a scale?

I know how awesome ice magician Keron is.

When I'm impressed, Bud walking behind me advises me.

"This is already Dwarf territory. Don't get distracted."

"Oh, I know"

Dwarves are highly territorial.

I'm not even allowed to cross other races without permission.

Only empire dignitaries or trade dealers in the Union can get in and out.

"The interests of the land are completely over there.

Even if we bowl together, the battle will go in the direction of avoiding it.

If I fought back badly, I'd bring in Dwarves from all over the mine. "

"Roger that... that's horrible"

I once fought a Dwarf mercenary,

The half-breed attack was not even frightening.

If there are dozens or hundreds of soldiers on that level pushing over, it's inevitable to take them down.

As he was at war, Walkins stroked his shoulder to reassure him.

"If you can't avoid fighting, I'll take care of it."

That's right.

The opponent's power is unknown.

This one has Walkins, the final weapons servant.

This sense of security is immeasurable.

"Speaking of which, Bud, you, what kind of magic do you use?

"The wind and thunder are fine. I can't use anything else."

I see, you're biased.

It's a hard type for the college to accept.

Well, there's something wrong with exams that are hard to get through if you haven't worked out all the attributes.

Sighing, Walkins squeaked smudgingly.

"If you don't train from childhood, you narrow the range of attribute magic.

Although, of course, it doesn't matter how old you are when you build up your workouts if you don't have the talent. "

Yes, it's similar to the development of the nervous system when it comes to attribute magic.

By converting the stimuli of the outside world into magic, attribute magic is expressed.

phenomena such as combustion reactions and charging.

Experiencing them from an early age makes it easier for each attribute's talent to blossom.

But as we get older, we become dull in our ability to convert magic from stimulation.

"You can't help it. I'm from the Glades.

The bitches couldn't train noblemen or magicians. "

Bud complains as he rings his neck.

Yes, if you are of aristocratic or magician lineage, it is infinitely possible to train from young children.

There are many aristocrats in admission to the college not only in financial terms, but also for such reasons.

"Please don't despise yourself.

Because there are many people who can't handle a single attribute even when they train from an early age. "

Exactly.

Indeed, workouts in childhood are very important.

But for talent to blossom, it has to have its original qualities.

I can't just do dirt and wind magic at all, either.

No matter how hard you try, you'll probably do the best you can because you cast lower magic.

In response to Bud mocking himself, Walkins conveys objective facts.

"At a time when you can handle more than two attributes in the first place, you're definitely superior as a magician."

"Ho, by the way, how many temes can you use?"

"If it's five lines of magic, you can chant it all."

…………

Bud complains.

No, should I go around and say I'm frightened?

It's the horror of being able to use five lines of magic without any hesitation.

He shrugs his shoulders and comes to explain the rest of the weapon.

"All you have to do is use a dagger as a dark vessel.

The number of bottles remaining is 20. Don't expect me to fight, I'm sorry for the trouble. "

That said, Bud whispered the pipe into his mouth as he wished.

Taste deliciously, spitting puffiness and smoke. Break time?

But Walkins asked Bud a question on top of the other.

"Dear Bud. Aren't you going to introduce me to the magic you're best at?

".................. Huh?

Bud's shoulder moved pickly.

He exhales smoke with a sigh and gazes at Walkins.

I could see signs of doubt in his eyes.

By contrast, however, Walkins is blatant.

"The other day, I was about to shoot a raging mad cow with magic."

"What are you talking about? Well, I was just trying to unleash thunder magic."

Lazy Bud.

I can't be sure if it's true or false, but Walkins seems sure.

Seeing Bud deny it, she grinned softly and demonically.

"Really?

But I don't think the magic magic of "flowing" in the flesh is right for thunder magic. "

Walkins highlights some of them and tells them.

At that moment, Bud's face snapped.

I can see a sudden change in expression even from above the mask.

He looked upset and stared at Walkins.

"Temee...... how can you see through? You're not human."

"Just a little out of bounds, he's a pretty human being."

"Chip, I don't care..."

Bud turned his back on Walkins.

Apparently, you've been accused of keeping it a secret.

When Bud noticed my gaze, he said as he had noticed.

"Well, you're going to show it on this journey anyway.

Don't ask me. If they find out, it's harder to move. "

Apparently Bud doesn't feel comfortable with the magic he's hiding itself.

It is not a good idea to pursue it across the line.

If you know right away, let's not ask for details.

Walking carefully on ice for several hours.

Finally crossed the land of ice.

Bud and I exhale heavily.

"Damn... it was a bridge to misery"

"Finally, will you be inside the Dwarf mine from here"

Boneless mountains stretching out in front of you.

There are shredded rocks rolling around.

If you wake up with a falling stone, it will surely be the Buddha.

There's also a huge hole by the way,

I can see a pit stretching through this mountain.

It was us trying to move on, but Walkins speaks up here.

"Dear Bud. I don't know what it is, so can you get rid of the pipe?

"……………"

Bud wanted to say something, but he took the pipe out of his mouth very hard.

We'll stop by the end of the road and scout the area.

That's when Walkins slowly closed his eyes.

When I was surprised, I felt the magic reveal.

Apparently, we've exploded our range of detective magic.

She tells me the situation with her eyes meditating.

"... near the mining site from the main road.

There's no Dwarf response on the ground. "

"Ho, it's still safe around here."

Bud looks impressed.

Watching Walkins chant, he squeaks.

"My detective magic is too small to look inside the house. You can count on me."

I'm something like that.

It is best because it blurs out the person who is following it.

Like Alec and Walkins, it's impossible to detect a section.

"Smells like smoke...... also sounds like mining.

Looks like we're working on an excavation right now. "

That said, Walkins opened his eyes.

Nothing more as a reconnaissance.

Based on the information gathered, Bud launched a strategy.

"So you have a lot of dwarves in the pit. I'm going through the shadows of a rock."

"That would be nice."

"... we have to watch out for rockfall."

The day the earthquake struck, the Great Fall would not be spared.

I want to get out of this danger zone right now.

We quickly walked in the shadow of a rock facing the road.

As Walkins said, Dwarf never had a bowl to match on the main road.

Walk for a while and get out near the mining site.

Then Walkins, going forward, stopped to pitch.

"Please stop"

"Hmm?"

"Ah? What's up?"

Me and Bud tilted our necks.

Said it went well so far.

In doubt, Walkins pointed far away.

"To detective magic...... no, you can already see it with your naked eye.

Give me that. "

tip of her finger.

There was a distinctive dragon lagging over quite a distance.

He is not a wild dragon because he is wearing armor.

Bud sweated cold.

"Dude... are you serious?"

"Orthodox dragon... that's also a jade dragon specializing in direct combat"

Listen to Walkins' explanation and see the dragon.

Light green feather film.

Deep green scales reminiscent of the tree sea.

He was the dragon of the Knights that Dragoon Camp was proud of.

He also rides a dragon knight dressed in armor on his back.

Seeing that, Bud pounded his tongue.

"Chip, the country lizard. Are you gonna ambush us?"

"Sounds like the pro-Imperial faction of the United States has circulated information."

Dragoon camps are against humans, they never take sides.

But if you want to hang the bait from the other side, it can move.

That's what inviting complaints are for.

A faction of the United States is planning to cross the Dwarf mine - if that's what you mean.

Driven by hatred, dragon knights at Dragoon Camp will fly away.

It is a measure that uses bad feelings for the Union itself.

"... the merchant king of the United States, who hates dragoons more than anything, used the Dragon Knight.

That's a lot different than the old king of merchants. "

Bud, who knows the Union well, spills stupidity.

The old merchant king, even if the sects were divided,

He said he shared his hostility and patriotism towards the dragoon.

But time flies - so does the Seat of the Merchant King, and things have changed.

The current merchant kings who lean toward the empire are not obsessed with means.

I ear to Walkins.

"What do we do...? Forced breakthroughs are going to be a hassle."

"Wait, something's wrong."

What do you mean?

Attention Dragon Knight again.

If you look closely, they weren't looking for us, they were looking down at something.

"They're staring at something."

With his hands above his forehead, Bud narrowed his eyes.

Perhaps that presumption is true.

and here Walkins rode his body out of the shadow of the rock.

"I'm going to sneak a sound-absorbing stone while I see how it goes."

"Sound-absorbing stone...?

What the hell is that?

It shouldn't have even appeared in the books I've read before.

I'll check with Bud with my gaze, but he shakes his neck to the side too.

"Look at me, you've never heard of me."

That's right.

When we were surprised, Walkins took the real thing out of our nostalgia.

Dark purple gems.

If you sell it at a proper jewelry store, it's likely to be expensive.

"This is the sound-absorbing stone - one of the magic tools that ancient warriors brought out of the Five Labyrinths."

Magic fixtures.

A substitute similar to the Scoop you smashed before?

But ancient warriors, like others, say.

Obviously - no, I can't be definitive.

Walkins raises two stones high.

And I pointed to one of them, and explained it pale.

"If you put magic into this stone, it will pick up the sound and send it to the parent stone that will be a pair"

Heh, is it like a bug?

It seems useful, but I feel plain for a labyrinth treasure.

Is there no scoop-like effect that I destroyed before?

"It should be noted that the pebble can be blown up to obliterate evidence"

"If so, bomb...?

"Yes, it depends on the magic you can get in and the magnitude of the sound you smoke, but first a compartment disappears.

On top of that, if you have the parent stone on hand, you can create a child stone as many times as you want. "

Correction.

It was a hell of a weapon of destruction.

Ideal for bombing attacks.

What a cell phone you carry.

Bud also seemed a little pully, but calmly pointed in the direction of the path.

"Then you can install it. Ya. Just be careful, please."

"I'll take care of it. This Walkins, I'm just a little confident in secrecy."

Is there an area I would rather not be comfortable with?

Walkins approached the scene before letting the penetration in.

Move the shadow of the rock in sharp footsteps and install the stone quietly.

And without the dragon knights touching me, I came back like a wind.

"I left it. Soon you will receive audio to your parent stone."

Walkins put a sound-absorbing stone between us.

Then I immediately heard the conversation in the field.

'I intend to... You're riding the sanctuary with a feather. "

"Unauthorized intrusion into the mine. I don't think I can make it home alive."

Apparently, the dwarf is pretty.

It conveys how angry I am even though it is just my voice.

A few seconds later, the distant aftermath echoed in the parent stone.

"What do you want? This continent is a garden of dragoons everywhere. I don't need permission."

'Exactly. Don't bark when you're a barbarian crawling on the ground.'

Is this the voice of the dragoon?

Looks like the Dragon Knight is provoking from above.

"Apparently, the Dragon Knight and Dwarf are arguing"

Did you fly to the mine without prior notice?

Do the same unscrupulous thing.

But the Dragon Knight's voice was full of confidence.

"We are Cui Fang (Sui) Dragon Sky Squad (Ryuku) - you do not have small items in mind.

That's how much you can look into, right? Dogs waving their tails at the Empire. "

'... ugh. You... fool Dwarves!

I heard a resentful voice.

Dwarves living in mines are taken by the Empire in the form of subordination.

Instead of relieving the area, they're offering large quantities of ore and supplies.

"Oh, you've said no. There's no room for negotiation, man."

"For Dwarves, the Empire is an unpleasant patriarchal country."

But as for the imperial side, he's not happy with Dwarf's subordination.

Yes - they're after a merger.

But that's all Dwarves prevent by prestige.

Rather than being forced to attack and lose his power as an empire,

I guess you're stepping on the idea that it's better to continue your current dominance and sharpen your power.

I'm not showing any ostensibly tough annexation posture.

"Slaves tied to the earth. Poor thing. '

'Shut up! Come down if you have something to say! Is your mouth the only one with good prestige?!?

Novice Dwarf voice.

Apparently, there is a gradual increase in the number of people on the Dwarf side.

He must have noticed something strange and rushed out of the pit.

That's when the loud feathers came from the sound-absorbing stone.

Apparently, one of the dragon knights came down to the ground.

"I will tell you, who have deteriorated on the ground, in plain sight.

I say stay out of the way. "

'... what no?

To the words of the Dragon Knight, the Dwarves kill.

But there was also fierce anger in the voice of the Dragon Knight.

"The enemies of your fellow countrymen who were murdered by you are not over.

I didn't forget, you barbarian. "

'Ha, I just crashed a feather worm entering the mine.

By now, it's fattening the mines as soil nutrients. '

Apparently, there's been a clash before.

I knew there was a ditch between humans and other races.

But are there cases of misconduct between other races?

"If you want to stand in our way any more..."

As a final announcement, the Dragon Knight told him sharply.

"I'll turn each of these mining sites into dust."

"Before you do, you will return to the earth! I'm not dying.

The sound of metal bumping into each other.

A moment late, the dragon scream stuck.

Apparently, the Dwarf side attacked.

Correspondingly, the far-reaching aftermath has persisted.

'Motivated, okay.

Confuse Yellow Springs Road with regret for turning your teeth on the Dragon Knight!

At the next moment, the noise echoed like a bundle of flamethrowers.

The cry of the Dwarves' Terminators rises.

Did you make the dragon throw up a brace?

With this reward triggered, the sound of a fierce war burst.

"Alright, this guy is the best friend I've ever had. Hope we fall together!

He poses as a gut next door.

The joy's on your face, this guy.

There was too much dragon brace flowing through his head like that.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!

Bud in a hurry to bow his head.

The hood is burning chilli.

That would be hard to fix.

Again, I'm alert, but they're not after this one right now.

And a lot of dwarves walked past our hidden rocks.

"You lizard bastards are attacking me again!

"Knock it off! Don't give it back alive today!

Further out comes the pit on the other side as well.

Looks like the guys who were working on it will join the attack at the same time.

I was wondering what was going on, and Walkins put his hand on my shoulder.

"Consciousness is for each other. Now, it's easy to slip through."

"Don't find me, I'm sorry I got so confused."

I nodded and followed the two of them.

Carefully, surely, not to be found by the Dwarves.

Breaking through the workplace became less popular as soon as possible.

It's just not all that dragon knights coming from Dragoon Camp.

We were treading through the Dwarf mine as we strained our minds.

◆ ◆ ◆

"There seems to have been a violent collision, but the dragoon side seems to have retreated"

Decades of walking through the killing of the Fae.

Walkins said so with his parent stone against his ear.

Apparently, he did it flashy after that.

I checked with her out of interest.

"What happened to the war?

"A great sacrifice for both sides.

The victims seem to be more Dwarves,

Looks like the Dragon Knight successfully killed the dragon he was riding. "

Does that mean the Dwarf side wins unharmed?

But they shot down the dragon, which is life for the Dragon Knight.

It is a pain division in content, but it would be the dragoons that wear out heavily.

Bud leans his neck strangely.

"Steady, I used to drop the flying Cui Long."

"There's earthly magic that specializes in anti-aircraft."

It would be from the same lineage that the Shanleys did to Alec.

Heavy restraints that knock your opponent to the ground.

Just because it's flyable doesn't mean it can beat the Dwarves.

"Dwarves don't insult me either."

"If the battlefield was a dragoon camp,

On the contrary, the Dwarves would have been slaughtered. "

Yes, location is a very important key in combat.

Forest and darkness for elves.

Mountains and rocks for Dwarves.

Sea and air for dragoons.

If a human fought in the home ground of another race, you'd better give up winning first.

So much depends on the state of war.

"Besides, if you're a four-winger fierce. Some topography can't be a problem."

"Oh, I know that... with myself"

Alec swept away a flaming steel car in a place unfit for battle: the city of Wang Du.

At the home of the elves, Shanleys turned the disadvantage upside down and stormed around.

If you're on my side, it's comforting, but considering you've become an enemy...

"... make it, I don't want to see the heroes of the old days"

Bud shrugged in disdain.

Indeed, its power is the threat itself.

But to be overly scared, I don't want to do much.

Because that's how you get lonely and you know the elves you suffered as heroes.

"But you know the battle at the mine is unfavourable... why did you get your hands on it"

Bud seemed suspicious of the dragoon's tough attitude.

It's not something I care about.

Then Walkins answered as he looked up into the sky.

"Dragoons are always irrevocable.

I don't care about sacrifice if you want to expand your dominant airspace. "

That stance becomes a threat to humans.

I'll fly around the rest of the country.

In retrospect, I have not been able to obtain confirmation from Din territory.

Once we launch the Dragoon Victims' Party, countries across the continent are going to be happy.

"Besides, there is a tenacity between Dwarf and Dragoon.

As long as we have a big name to fight for, the more the dragoons will gladly go for it. "

Obsessive, huh?

Dwarf mines and dragoon camps are not far in terrain.

Something must have gone wrong in the past.

"Guidance, I don't care about us, maybe he was trying to sell a fight to Dwarf."

"It would be both. Looking at the results, it did not seem to be in line with the intentions of the pro-Imperialists"

From the merchant king over the empire, wasn't it a shoulder watermark?

You induced me to attack a suspicious traveler.

It stormed the owners of completely unrelated land.

You mean you can't easily grip the dragoon's reins?

He glimpses behind him, and Walkins strokes his chest down.

I guess you made sure the Dragon Knight didn't follow you earlier.

"First of all, you've had your first assassin."

"Are you glad you did it...?

One of the letters I have now must be taken for sure.

If you repel it, your prospects will be broken.

But Walkins has been pushing just in case it's "okay".

"An assassin like that can't be fatal.

You might not have expected an Imperial Merchant. "

"What do you mean?

"Did you think of it as an auxiliary personnel for the raid...

Hit the dwarves and let each other sharpen their forces,

Maybe he tried to get you to play a positive role. "

If that's the case, you're such a connoisseur.

You will have accomplished multiple goals with one Dragon Knight attack.

This must be a peacock trap.

"... in short, you mean it was a good unit to be hit"

Rather, it's convenient enough to hit flashy and attract people's attention.

The Dwarves won't disturb us, they can attack us.

After a short walk, Walkins pointed across the mountain.

"We're almost out of the Union mines."

"Okay, I'll let you smoke as much as you want when you get down the mountain.

It's hard not to use pipes while you're hiding. "

Totally a smoking junkie statement.

It's my job to bury an assassin, so my hiding skills would be essential.

The moment I sighed, me and Bud realized there was.

"Don't smell weird."

"Oh, that's uncomfortable..."

"That's the scent when you burn people.

The fragrance is weathered, but there seems to be no doubt. "

Walkins hits the cause of odor in an instant.

It seems like a word that won't come out unless you're used to burning people.

and there were massive piles of human bones at the entrance to the pit.

It is full of coal.

"That neighborhood... is the source"

"That's an ancient Dwarf tradition, isn't it?

It's not really known on the table, but it's a long history. "

"So, tradition...?

Walkins replied sayingly.

And he gazes at one of the skeletons and explains it in detail.

"We're killing strayed humans and fueling fat.

When the wild dragon attacked you during the mining, you threw down the wreckage there and took advantage of it. "

"Wow..."

Is it also being used for the fuel of the melting furnace?

The darkness of the Dwarf mine is deep.

But the human side also does use the remains of other races.

Flaming steel cars, leather armor worn by the Stalin brothers, etc.

Hmmm...... Reconciliation still seems difficult.

Keeping walking for half a day.

Rest in the shadow of a rock for another half day.

I spent a bunch of different dwarves along the way, and I finally see the end of the dwarf mine.

As the sun rose in the morning, we went out to a beautiful place.

Bud looks around based on the map and realizes there is.

"... Oh, isn't that a descent road?

Apparently, this is the top of the mountain closest to the United States in the peak.

The dwarves have also lost their place of residence, so all we have to do is go down.

It is the gorgeous Union that spreads there as long as it crosses the mine.

It was a long way to go if you think about it.

I proceeded to my feet exhaling in relief.

and that moment.

The ground swayed only for a moment.

And take away the freedom of movement.

Walkins was seen at the edge of his vision.

She is leaping and sticking her hand in the gap in the space.

And she drags the Great Sword out in an instant.

- About the moment, I can't keep up with the perception.

Why the earth swayed.

Why did Walkins suddenly jump up?

I looked to the right - I perceived all of it.

".................................................... huh?

There was a red blade growing on Bud's chest.

A deadly blow through the heart.

Seeing, the long sword of dirt protrudes from the ground and wears his body.

Seeing it, I realized everything.

Yeah, someone attacked me.

"- Baddo!"

The scream sticks to the end of the mine.

But the Lord of the name stays lying down, and he doesn't even move with Pickle.

There was Bud's blood all over my stood up.
