242 Episode 166: The Guild Director and the Princess of the Sky Witch

Claude and the others headed out to Alliance headquarters early in the morning.

We're waiting at the inn. I am fully armed and ready to deal with whatever happens.

Today, human brave Cynthia and dwarf (Hobbit) brave Rico are being given a day off from work.

In the unlikely event that the Disaster Dragon is revived, keep the Brave in the party, because points will be added to your skills. Valuable skill experience, no hands to miss.

Claude and the others arriving at Alliance headquarters show the request form at the reception.

Because this visit to the Alliance Union District was a request for nomination from the Alliance General.

"I'm listening to you. The Guild Director will be waiting for you in his room, and we will guide you."

Guided by the receptionist, Claude and the others headed to the third floor of the building, the Guild General's office.

There is currently another in the Guild General's office besides the Guild General, Lilitz.

Yes, it's another 'princess witch'.

Name: liliera

Gender: Female

Age: 7569

Race: High Elves

Title: Elf Princess Witch, Elf Royalty, Humane Pillar

Skills:

Magic system

Spiritual LV10

Skills Department

< Demon Prop Creation LV10 > < Forest Wisdom LV- >

Immortal LV-

This is the status of the third 'princess witch', Mr. Liliera.

Surprisingly, Liliera didn't have to skip her skills.

Lilitz had so many different skills that I had to omit them, but Liliera is everything I showed her.

I only remember Ulysses, who lived nearly twice as long as Liliera, but whose skills were not significantly different from those sealed for 6,000 years.

Yuri Tin used a magic tool (magic item) for long-distance communications this morning.

Her opponent, Liliera, was contacted and transferred to the Guild General's office using her long-range transfer skills, the Spirit of Disease.

is the first generic method of metastasis I have come to this world and encountered.

If not generic, there are labyrinth transfer stones and labyrinth rulers (dungeon masters) transfer functions.

As expected, 'Princess Witch' seems to have unique attribute-specific skills.

Ulysses' is a buff of production skills, and Ulysses' is... surprisingly a combat skill. That's also for fleshshell warfare...... what the hell is a high elf......

General Guild, we've got Lord Claude.

"Get in."

When the receptionist knocked on the office and spoke, a woman's voice was heard from inside.

"Excuse me."

When Claude and the others went inside, there were two silver-haired high elves there.

Apparently, high elf...... "The Princess Witch" is like a silver hair fixation. I re-called it 'princess witch' because the Lynforce of the Elgant Empire was not silver haired. I forgot what color it was.

"Nice to see you. Atai is the head of this Alliance headquarters, the Alliance General's Lilitz. Especially when it comes to guild directors, it's not an official title, but we can only call them that way."

It was Lilitz who said that and laughed.

Lilitz was a muscular woman, like a head-on denial of the impression of a high elf.

He had pointy ears, elements of what he called white skin, and muscles that he missaw as bodybuilders, and he was tall.

The outfit is also far from the nobility that is the impression of a high elf, dressed like an adventurer.

Well, on the assumption that there are rough things to do with this, maybe I'm just completely armed......

"I'll see you first. My name is Claude and I became an S-rank adventurer the other day. It's my party member behind me..."

"It's here."

"It's Lolo."

"It's Adele..."

It's Knott.

"It's Iris."

It's Julia.

"It's Sicily ~"

Oh, we both got a flash of ears when Julia introduced herself.

"Oh, I'm listening. I'm sorry I called you so far..."

"Lilitz, you won't need to talk about it. It's a waste of time to deal with inferior creatures."

It was Liliera who interrupted Lilitz's story.

Unlike Lilitz, this one is very easy to understand and high elf.

The lines are thin, faceless and flamboyant, wearing a silk white costume. It has no extra decorations and is like a feather coat that appears in mythology. I don't know how to call it.

Liliella says things that push her cold away in a way that sees her lower than herself.

"Liliera, don't be abusive. They're guests that Atai invited."

"Julia, what are you doing? Why didn't you come back?

Lilitz tries to flatter her, but Liliera ignores her and asks her.

"What are you talking about?

Julia, who doesn't remember what she's saying, asks the other way around.

"Don't you remember me? Are you amnesiac?

"I don't feel the need to answer. General Alliance, what did you call us for? It's a rare S-Rank Adventurer party, so you called it in with interest, didn't you? What the hell is this situation?

I didn't answer Liliera's question, and now I ask Lilytin.

"Are you trying to ignore me?"

Liliera, ignored by Julia, seeps her anger with no expression.

"Liliera, calm down.... Uh, yeah. You wrote that in your request. Sorry, Julia, you're the only one I could really use. This is Liliera, Atai's ally, the true client of this request."

Yuri Tin exposes that the request was not made correctly.

"Did the head of the Adventurer Alliance lie about the request?

Ask with Claude's disappointed eyes.

Ulistine's deeds are a demeaning act of the very value of being, which is called the Adventurer's Guild.

"Oh, I really think it's bad. But if you're the leader of the Adventurer Alliance and the guardian of this world, the guardian is the priority."

Says Lilitz with a sinking face.

I could understand with this one word. Before being Adventurer Guild Director, Lilitz was a "princess witch."

In order to protect the seal of the disaster dragon, the High Elf could not have seen the situation saying he was missing.

It's about shit.

"Lilitz, we talk too much. Even if I lost my memory, it doesn't change what I do."

"Right. Well, from what I've seen (...) Even one Atai is going to manage. I wondered what was going on when the people I was preparing were gone."

"Adventurers are inferior creatures. I knew from the beginning that I wouldn't be Ate."

"Ha... It's an unfortunate fact that the S-rank quality has declined in recent years..."

Lilitz's reference to 'seen' is due to his skills.

Simply put, it's something that says you know the character (level) of the other person's existence. It's not strictly level as it is, but normal humans almost match.

One of the exceptions is an increase in status due to Biocide (GiveandTake). This dramatically increases abilities by ignoring the grid (level).

In other words, Lilitz doesn't understand the strength (status) of Claude and the others based on their current rating (level). Super, funny.

Additionally, < Spiritual Lattice Vision (Auravision) > can be prevented by < Multiple Presence (Avatar) > mental defense. This time, I showed you attitude.

"What are you going to do with me?

I'll take you back to my castle, no matter what.

Liliera to answer Julia's question instantly.

"After that, you'll be tested for a while. Hopefully there is no negative impact on my contact with lower races on the ground and my function as a 'princess witch'...... Especially with the inferior, half-ningen, I'm terribly anxious."

Half-ningen?

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

Judging by the fact that Liliera's gaze is on her way to Illis, which is a half elf.

Indeed, the word half-elf is a half-elf, that is, a designation seen from a human.

If you saw it from the elves, would you call it half-ningen?

... No, it wouldn't be possible.

"... that's what I'm saying. I can't tell you the details, but I need you to hand over Julia for the sake of this world. If you say no, think the Adventurer Alliance… the whole world will turn to the enemy."

Unwilling to ride, Lilitz threatens Claude and the others with an excuse for the world.

Yes, NG Word in.

"Again, did you come that way...... I'm sorry, I refuse."

"Mr. Yulia is one of us and family. There's no way they're gonna turn me in to trick me into calling them in and threatening me to take them!

Dwarf's knot took over Claude's rejection, and the other members nodded strongly.

"I don't know what relationship I had with you guys before I lost my memory. But from what I see now, you guys don't deserve credit. So I'm not going to come to you."

"... if you'd give up here, I wouldn't have to bother you."

Hearing the words of Julia's rejection, Lilitz says with a sigh.

"This is why the inferior organism... I can't help it, Lilitz. I'll take care of it later."

"There's no choice...... I don't have any grudges against you, but Atai and the others aren't going to give up either."

"Transfer!"

When Liliera screamed, the entire office was wrapped in light.

Apparently, the Spirit of Disease has been activated.

There are several types of metastases due to, and this is one of them, range metastasis.

It has the effect of flying a person in a preset area into another area. Liliera had set it up before Claude and the others came to the office.

It seems that there are no more S-rank adventurers and no longer a normal kidnapping can be done.

Naturally, I teach Claude and the others.

Unfortunately, we don't know where we're going.

I can avoid it if I feel like it, but I am concerned about the destination of the transfer, so I asked not to avoid it.

Claude and the others moved to... Simply explain to the extreme, Rapiota.

"This place..."

"It's my castle. I don't like to put in ningen, subhuman, half-ningen, but I can't help it to save you trouble."

Earth in the sky with vast territories.

In the center there is a huge castle, and some woods are full of trees.

Exactly fantasy!

Alta, where is this castle in the sky?

A: It's on the sea, east of the Guild Union District.

Well, then, there's a zero chance I could have been found.

It was completely out of scope of action.

"This is an area on the clouds where you can't even fight properly if you're not used to it. Besides, it's hard standing around here, isn't it?

Says Lilitz with a sure look of victory.

Indeed, the destination of Liliera's transfer can be described as a must-win for Lilitz and Liliera.

It is a double punch that is simply high altitude and unable to perform its physical function properly, as well as the temper of "Wind Dragon/Tempest," which definitely renders it incapable of action except for the high elves.

Actually, it's right above this castle in the sky, Wind Dragon Tempest. In the first place, the earth is also floating because the flesh of the 'Wind Dragon/Tempest' floats on its own.

The soul of "Windstorm Dragon/Tempest" is in subspace, but the flesh is in this world. And the flesh releases an object of indignation, and the spirit is polluted except for some.

"No, that's not true."

"" Yes?

But Claude puts it flat back.

There's nothing wrong with Claude and the others, as the advanced problem is enough for one, and the disaster dragon's temper can be prevented by the mental defense of Multiple Presence (Avatar).

Claude and the others ride the inferior wind dragon (Wyburn), so they're getting it.

"Hey, how can you stand normally? Even elves seem to suffer..."

"Oh, it can't be..."

Which one?

All I'm saying is that this is Liliera's castle, and it sounds like a bunch of elves live in it.

No high or half elves exist in it.

And with just an elf, you can't prevent a disastrous dragon from being distracted.... high elves aren't completely preventable, are they? So, Lilitz, Liliera seems to suffer a little too.

"It's a real shame. Call in a lie request, ask an S-rank adventurer to kidnap you, use the name of your guild to make threats, and wage a unilateral battle in their favor. It's the end of the world to have someone like that at the top of the Adventurer Alliance."

"It's really terrible when you line up."

"I can't even tell you what Lolo is scared of."

Claude lists what Lilitz does, and everyone is stunned, headed by Coco and Rollo.

If you ask me, that's really terrible.

"Wait! How do you guys know about S-Rank Adventurers?

The S-Rank Adventurer thing is something that Claude and the others aren't supposed to know.

"You have no obligation to answer. The only thing I can tell you is that your plan was flawed."

Thoughts aren't as flawed as you say, but the action itself was flawed.

"It's time to end the question. We have no choice but to fight for our own defense than to be clearly hostile."

That said, Claude and the others pull out their weapons.

Until now, it was' always out of the weapon ', but it turned into' out of the weapon '.

"... you've broken my prediction. I don't know if you just saw it. Is there something there? Liliera, you fight too. Maybe a little tough on Atai alone."

"I refuse. It's not my job to be savage like that."

Liliera trumps the suggestion of a joint fight with Bassari.

Doesn't that mean we're close?

"Oh, you... Why don't you at least let the spirits out?

"I don't mind if that's about it. Show yourselves, Illuminaire!

Looks like he called the Covenant Spirit by.

Called out was the Great Spirit of Light, who looks like an ivory (ivory) goddess statue.

It mimics a person's face, but only makes eyes, mouths, etc., and its function doesn't seem like it.

"Well, let's just say you're a little bit of a bad boy."

Lilitz puts up an epic (legendary) sword and enters a battlefield posture.

Now I'm not surprised with legendary gear.

"I'm coming!

"Coming!

Lilitz runs out, and with Lilia's hanging voice, Claude and the others form a formation as well.

It's a formation where Claude comes forward, as usual, and Julia falls back and takes command.

It should be noted that Liliera has taken a short distance to the safety zone with a short distance transfer.

"Eat it!

"I won't let you through!

Claude takes Yuri Tin's bayonet with a shield.

Even as loud metal noises sounded, Claude stopped on the spot and completely prevented slashing.

The power can also be seen from Claude's legs slipping slightly into the ground.

"What!?

"Ha!!!

In the gap where Lilitz is surprised and momentarily delayed in moving on to his next action, Claude pushes his shield in and tries to disintegrate Lilitz.

"I'm not licking you!

But Lilitz also seems to be a warrior of war, not easily disfigured.

Distance in the backstep......

"Ghoo!?

He is not allowed to take it, he is paid his foot by Coco, who was behind him, and falls from his back.

Coco keeps kicking Yuri Tin's arm and letting the Great Sword go. In addition, he pierced the two daggers he had to cross the neck of the lilytin, to the ground.

If the lily tin moves inadvertently, it is a sharp blade to the extent that its neck falls at that moment.

"This is such a stupid thing... I can't believe Atai lost soon after using..."

Lilitz squeaks with a squeaky look.

No, the Claudes are a pair of ancient ginseng among my men.

If you let them fight without limiting their status, there's no way they'll be opponents.

"GYAAAAAAA!?

A tall voice sounds like metal. It was the Great Spirit of Light (Illuminair) who shouted.

The attack was prevented by Rollo, and if Illis fought back with Dark Magic, Illuminair inevitably became full of holes. Knott's hammer stopped and vanished.

By the way, it was at a time when the holes were all over me that I screamed.

"I'm surprised to lose to Illuminaire as well as Lilitz Tin"

Liliera doesn't change one expression when she says her own covenant spirits have been killed.

"Lilitz, I didn't think you could use that much. This made it difficult to secure Julia and I had to wait for the high elves to give birth again"

I had expected it, but it seemed that Liliera's purpose was to take over the 'princess witch'.

"It's unfortunate that you, who also led the inferior creatures insanely, were interesting to watch. If you're going to be killed, kill me on the ground. I want you to see the world perish from here."

"Liliera, what are you talking about...?

"Goodbye."

When Liliera said so, she activated the Spirit of Disease again.

When the perimeter was surrounded by light, it was returned to the Guild General's office.

There is no liliera and lilytin remains down.

The dagger that was stabbed next to his neck is being recovered by Koko just before his metastasis.

"Looks like they sent you back."

"I don't know what you're talking about."

It didn't look like Liliera had a point, did it?

"That's it, I didn't think I'd easily abandon you... Looks like this was the only one I thought was my friend..."

Still falling, Lilitz squeaked.

"So, the battle is our win, and do you mind if I kill you like this?

Claude sets up his sword with no expression and approaches Lilitz Tin.

Of course, I'm not really going to kill you. It's an act to see how Lilitz reacts.

"When it stops. Kill Atai and this world will be destroyed."

Lilitz says powerlessly if Liliera's betrayal was a shock.

"But if we stay like this, the world turns to our enemies, right?

"... No, I'm not going to do that to Atai anymore. The way Liliera put it, she doesn't seem to want to get involved on the ground anymore. I don't even know if Atai's coming. I'm sorry I turned someone stronger than me against him."

Did this avoid the sweepstakes for Claude and the others?

"Then can I ask you to explain the situation first? I don't like it when you go ahead and finish without knowing what it means."

"Oh, I get it.... Can I stand?

"The next time I show my willingness to attack, I will definitely kill you this time"

"I know."

In front of the vigilant Claudes, Lilitz stands up and sits in the chair of the concierge.

"Well, where did I tell you... First, would you like to explain 'Disaster Dragon'?"

Lilitz tries to start talking in a way that looks like she's about to enter a retrospective scene.

"When you say 'Disaster Dragon', it's a giant dragon sealed in subspace, and it only causes disaster around you if it exists, right? As long as the High Elf's" Princess Witch "is alive, it will remain sealed in subspace, but those who seal it will be influenced by temper, so you can say that if the next generation of" Princess Witch "is born, you will inherit the role, that" disaster dragon "thing, right?

"Why are you so familiar with me?!?

Hearing Claude explain, Lilitz Tin shouts a surprise.

"... No, did Julia tell you? So, you're lying about amnesia?

If it was Julia before she lost her memory, there was certainly a possibility that she knew.

"No, I'm really amnesic. Someone else told me."

"Other... High Elves..." The Princess Witch "? of water... or the earth...? I don't think I can do either..."

Ah, it has been established that there is a water-damaged dragon in plain sight.

"No, it's human."

"I don't know what that means!?

To one word of Julia, Lilitz Tin shouts a surprise (second time).

In the meantime, I taught you.

"Our master taught me about Disaster Dragon. It was also your master who told us that you were gathering S-rank adventurers to capture us."

"You had a hell of a human being. Shall we get back to it? … When you know the story of the Disaster Dragon, it seems faster to hear what you want to hear."

Maybe if I tried to talk to you without any basement, it would take a lot of time.

"Right. For once, we have roughly anticipated it, so I'd like you to give us some answers as to whether that prediction is correct first."

"Did your master teach you that, too?

"Yeah, most of them are"

For once, all I taught was facts, and reasoning is something unique to the Claudes.

Well, roughly what I think...

"Firstly, you targeted Yulia because Yulia was the next generation of" princess witches "of the earlier High Elf, Yuriella. But Mr. Yulia disappeared from before Liliera"

"Oh, you're right. About a year ago, Liliera showed up suddenly and told me about Julia's disappearance. Atai knew about Julia too, so he was putting up a network of investigations through the Adventurer's Guild."

"As a result, you found Yulia, who became an S-rank adventurer, didn't you?... I couldn't have predicted this, do you know how Mr. Yulia went missing?

Lilitz shook her neck sideways at Claude's inquiry.

"No, I don't even know that Atai. Liliera didn't explain that either. … now that I think about it, it might have been used in a good way without explaining the details."

You didn't treat me as a reciprocal friend when I heard Liliera's line earlier.

"You don't seem to know that unless you ask Liliera. … As expected, the ladies who found Yulia invited our party to this country to secure Yulia."

"Oh, Liliera and I can get in touch with each other with magic tools for communication (magic items). I don't know if I can still use it..."

A: The line is disconnected and unavailable.

Oh, totally truncated.

"I haven't heard the details, but it's important that the candidate for" The Princess Witch "disappears. It's painful to abuse my position as Adventurer Guild Director, but I decided to capture you because I thought it was better than ignoring the world crisis."

"Don't you even hear more about it and it's too short-circuited? Let me tell you something, we haven't forgiven you for that yet."

"Gu......, I know, Atai did it to me. It is only natural that Atai should take responsibility. Now I know it was short-circuited..."

A lily tin that drops a gag and a shoulder.

You look like you're talking friendly with Lilitz, but the Claudes haven't lifted their guard, and I'm sure they're not forgiving you.

"I was going to gather S-rank adventurers to threaten them, but at some point I was stunned that S-rank adventurers were gone. How the hell did you do that?

"I'm not going to answer your question. Now we're asking questions."

"You did...... I'm sorry."

Whatever you think, you're talking about the type I can't tell you.

"I had no choice but to capture Julia just Atai and Liliera. Atai can judge the strength of others by aura. When I saw you guys, I thought Atai alone would be fine... Really, it's unexpected."

"Here's the next question. What was the place just now?

"Is it the earth that floats in the sky? It's called" Sky Castle, "well, it's a city built on the shell of a catastrophic dragon. Over there, there is a clan of elves sealing fire, wind, and earthly disaster dragons. Atai is also from Sky Castle."

Yulisuzu said that each of the disastrous dragons is sealed by a different clan.

The purpose is to ensure that blood is left behind. It's a strategy to keep the Disaster Dragon sealed forever.

And now, Sky Castle is home to three other clans besides water.

"I'm sorry, but I don't know Atai or maybe Liliera about the origins (roots) of The Princess Witch. Perhaps you've been deliberately kept out of information. Don't even think about it."

"Who..."

"Come on? You're the ancestors of Atai and the others... there must be a goddess."

Also, this pattern...

"Because Atai and the others can't completely prevent the disaster dragon's temper. I guess Atai won't be able to stand any of them and will want the next generation of 'princess witches'. Liliera has already said she wants to take turns with the next generation of" princess witches. "I guess that's why you can't afford it."

In particular, Lilitz continues.

"At a stage where I'm using that temper to disable the enemies I transferred, I can't tell you what looks great... For once, it was a special measure, but I didn't think it would work."

As I mentioned earlier, disastrous dragon temper and altitude changes render the normal inactive.

Claude and I were protected by my powers. That's why we were fine.

I'm not even going to tell you why.

"I know."

Looks like Lilitz has figured it out.

"Later, one more question: Why did Liliera easily abandon you over there? Do you have any idea?

"Unfortunately, there is. Liliera most endangers the presence of the 'Wind Disaster Dragon/Tempest', a disastrous dragon sealed in Sky Castle. Because if any other dragon is resurrected, it won't affect the sky castle above, so long as the Wind Dragon Tempest is sealed, Liliera will be safe."

If you ask me, the ground-breaking attack of 'Ground Disaster Dragon Earth Squake' won't even reach Sky Castle, and even if 'Fire Dragon Volcano' shows eruptions as the name suggests, there won't be any effect of eruptions up to Sky Castle on boulders (volcanic ash or anything like that, though there seems to be an aftermath).

That is to say, it is also a safe area where other disastrous dragons are not harmed while they are at the helm of the disastrous dragon.

"If 'Windstorm Dragon/Tempest' is revived and Sky Castle is doomed, if you do poorly, other 'princess witches' will die, and the world will come to an end. Given that, you must have decided that it would be quicker and more certain to kick him out of Sky Castle than to fight and commit danger in Sky Castle. Worst case scenario, I even thought Atai was dead and it wouldn't matter if the earth became a land of death."

Liliera, you screwed up a lot at the end.

"Is there anything else you'd like to hear?

"There's nothing more I want to hear. Do we all have something?

Claude asks the other members but they all shook their heads sideways.

"There doesn't seem to be any."

"Right.... So, what do we do about Atai? Atai used the position of Adventurer Guild Director to frame you. I failed, but that's a fact that never changes. I'll take responsibility for what I did. I'll follow your decision. You can't make amends for dead boulders."

Surprisingly clean, Lilitz said he would follow Claude and the others' decision.

Claude, do you have a minute?
