Chapter 419 - Episode Sixty-Five - The Ear Chief's Troops that Controls the Sky (1)
Having successfully defeated the spirit Jeem, I walked through the forest near the Russell village, where Lark was.
It was getting dark, so I let the lantern with the light in its mouth walk ahead of me.
I stopped when I reached a certain spot and looked up.
“…… I’m glad that it’s still here.”
I let out a sigh.
In front of me sits a huge wooden dragon, 20 meters long.
It’s the wooden dragon, Quetzalcoatl, that I completed with the help of the Alchemists and with Peter’s generous investment.
It was originally created by me as a weapon against Count Julem and as a countermeasure against Kudor.
I’ll use this to get to Alfheim, the sky country where Mea and Count Julem are supposed to be.
I would have liked to use the magic wave tower as a weapon against Count Julem but unfortunately, I can’t use it.
It is still incomplete as a weapon.
If we do a trial run, the Dinrat Kingdom could disappear from the world if something goes wrong, so we’ll have to take our time.
When I got into Quetzalcoatl, a wooden dragon …… there was a noise from behind me.
“Oh no ……!”
I was completely focused on Quetzalcoatl, and hadn’t considered the possibility that someone was hiding there.
I pulled out my wand and turned around, but he put his weight on my shoulders and knocked me down to the ground.
” Secure him~!”
“Whoa!?”
With a familiar high-pitched voice, my jaw slammed into the floor, sending shockwaves through my head.
When I turned around, a curly-haired woman with bad eyesight was straddling my back.
“I knew it was you when I saw …… part of the forest blow up and a pillar of fire go up!”
“A-, Altamir!”
I look around.
There is no sign of Peter or Kudor.
It seems that she was working alone.
Altamir smiles wryly.
“I thought you had business with Zolomonia, the magic wave tower, or the wooden dragon, but I’m right to bet on this place. I thought you might have come to apologize to Lord Peltaire, but if you did, there was no need for me to go ahead of you, and you would never have acted so auspiciously in the first place.”
…… I’m confident that I can apologize to anyone, no matter who they are, if necessary.
I’m more pragmatic than prideful.
However, I can’t talk to Peter about this matter and I can’t get help from Kudor.
Kudor is more interested in the country than the individual, and the world than the country.
If she finds out that Mea has been kidnapped by Count Julem, she’ll try to kill her rather than rescue her.
It’s true that I have a lot of things to apologize to Peter for, but I won’t be able to do that until after everything is over.
In addition, I don’t really have any use for Zolomonia, since I’m generally done analyzing Levi’s spear.
In spite of the fact that she claims to be a great demon of wisdom and destruction, she has a lot of inadequacies, so I’ll let her read the grimoires for now.
Altamir flashed her arm at me.
I wondered what she was doing, but then I noticed a leather-wrapped disk attached to her arm.
Well, this is, I believe ……
“My magic cell phone Magiphone broke, hey! Even though I didn’t drop it or anything!”
Ahhhh …… It’s the prototype magic cell phone Magiphone that was forced into shape to fool Altamir.
“As I thought, there was a flaw ……”
“What do you mean!? In the first place, what do you planning to do! There was a lot of work left to do, such as developing the magic cell phone Magiphone, celebrating the Moon Festival Dinmei, training the Alchemy Division, and developing the magic cell phone Magiphone, but you threw it all away halfway! Baron Lark is probably very angry!”
Altamir tightens her grip on my neck.
I’m sure she’s not serious, but it’s very painful.
I hit the floor frantically.
She’s said twice about the developing of the magic cell phone Magiphone.
It’s not Lark who’s angry, it’s you.
“S-Stop! Stop! Wait a minute, just let me go for once! I’ll really die!”
“No, those are good, but …… magic cell phone Magiphone is not good, but …… there’s also the problem about Count Julem, wasn’t there? Following Abel’s instructions, Lord Peltaire invested a lot of money, you know! That’s a bit irresponsible! I don’t know what Lord Peltaire will do to you!”
Altamir finally took her hand off my neck and stood up.
I rolled on the spot, and stood up, following the railing of the wooden dragon’s interior.
“…… Abel, what happened to that girl? Do you have her waiting somewhere? What did you come to get this wooden dragon for in the first place?”
Altamir stands at the edge of the wooden dragon and looks around the forest.
Altamir didn’t seem to know about Mea’s red stone riot.
Peter, as expected, probably knows about it, having gotten the information from Dafne or Kudor when I escaped ……
“Mea was …… taken by Count Julem. It was my fault.”
When I said that, Altamir’s eyes widened in surprise and her body stiffened.
“What ……? Th-, that girl is?”
“…… The situation is a bit complicated. Peter will probably still try to kill the kidnapped Mea somehow. “
Even if Peter doesn’t have the power to do so, Kudor will easily be able to go directly into the sky country of Alfheim and rampage.
“…… That’s why I’m going to get into their lair, rescue Mea, and completely crush Count Julem before Peter tries any hard measures.”
I’ve already fought Count Julem and James, the legendary alchemist Gillemeim.
They were strong, but not as overwhelmingly powerful as Kudor.
They’re planning something to defeat Kudor but the wooden dragon Quetzalcoatl is a floating fortress that I originally built to fight Kudor.
For a while, Altamir froze with a dumbfounded expression on her face.
After a short pause, she held her head and said, “I can’t understand the situation at all, though ……” and continued to speak.
“You have a chance of winning, don’t you?”
I nodded.
“…… Well, I’ll let you off the hook, then. You have to save the girl. When you come back, you must apologize to Lord Peltaire and develop the magic cell phone Magiphone and the magical wave tower. I’d be happy to go along with you but …… I don’t think I’ll be able to help you.”
Altamir said, jumping lightly to stand on the railing.
“…… I’ll not forgive you If you die. I’m looking forward to it after all.”
“Yeah …… Leave it to me. When I return, you won’t need any more weapons or anything like that.”
Altamir then looked at the sky …… rolled her eyes.
“…… That’s quite a big moon din. I’ve heard that this Moon Festival Dinmei is special, but …… Nevertheless, isn’t it still too bizarre? Compared to yesterday, it’s suddenly bigger.”
I glanced at the sky.
The Moon Din, which until recently was twice the size of normal, was nearly five times the size tonight.
“…… I think I’d better hurry. Sorry, Altamir, let me go.”
Altamir gave a small nod and jumped from the wooden dragon Quetzalcoatl.
I went towards the head of the dragon and swung my wand at the lump of magic ore embedded in it.
The dragon’s eyes lit up and it rises from its place.
The wooden dragon is surrounded by multiple layers of wards.
“Stay safe, Mea, I’ll be right there ……!”
I grit my teeth and stare at the giant moon din floating in the sky.
I don’t care if it’s a spirit, or if it’s a fate from mythical times, and I’m not interested.
You can fight for control of the world all you want.
In fact, I had received a request for help from Kudor, but I had planned to shrug it off and run away.
But now that he’s messed with Mea, I’m going to end it all.
