Volume 2 - CH 221

The moment a burst of sound is heard, people who hear it turn their eyes in that direction.

Maybe because they haven’t heard a sound lke that.

Apparently, the sound was enough to catch their attention.

The moment the eyes of those present began to focus on him, Houen let out a loud voice.

“Everyone! The enemy is approaching this place each and every second! Citizens! You must evacuate now! It is not safe for you to stay here!　Adventurers, stay in formation!　Return to your posts and prepare for battle!　But you must lead the people! Adventurers of ranks F to E, you will lead the people, and after you have done so, you will stay where you are! Got it?”

[[[[[YESSIR]]]]]

From then on, things were fast.

The adventurers moved much quicker and began to do what they had to do.

Adventurers of E+ rank and above returned to their posts to prepare for defense.

Other adventurers began checking on supplies, their artillery, and their own weapons.

He’s really good at making speeches, isn’t he?

Everyone follows his directions with enthusiasm.

Celebrity is amazing.

“Adventurers in charge of evacuation control! I think you already know that this is an extraordinary situation! This is a conspiracy! You are not affected because your memories are not manipulated, but the others may end up being manipulated again! And when that happens, you will be the ones to suppress it! You must not let them return here!”

“Understood!”

“Leave it to me, The Flame emperor!”

Oh, showing off his second name.

There’s also [Houen the teary gourmet] but I see everyone is adopting the new one.

I wonder if that will be the case with me. ……

Well, I don’t mind if they don’t. ……

This is pretty much a waste of time though.

There are quite a few adventurers below E rank who are also kids. ……

“Everybody, please evacuate to the central district. I repeat, evacuate to the central district!”

“This way!”

Ah, the former kids’ party that messed with Jigal that time.

They’re pretty solid, aren’t they?

I know they said those things, but they’re doing their best.

Oh, by the way, is Jiggle not here too?

Hmmm, but he was with those guys previously.

I don’t know what he’s doing now.

It would be difficult to find him.

Anyway, I guess it’s safe to leave the evacuation to them.

Okay!

Then I’ll do my part. ……!

*gasp!

I can’t afford to use too many MP right now!

We’ve got a battle ahead of us …….

I was going to try to find them all at once with the manipulative haze, but I couldn’t find them even if I’d done that in the first place.

Same with golem snakes.

Even if I actually looked for it with the naked eye, or searched for its shape, I probably wouldn’t be able to find that butler.

He was not in the castle, nor was he in the vicinity.

Is there anywhere else I haven’t looked before?

I need to narrow down my search a bit more to find the right place.

Oh, boy, remember!

Remember what the hell those two were talking about!

What were they trying to do?

Magic crystal ……? (Previously demonic crystal)

Speaking of which, what the hell is a magic crystal after all ……?

I remember they said something about it!

What did they say they were going to do with the magic crystal again!

Um, let’s see!

[You get the magic crystal in place as soon as possible.]

………….

Put it where?

Damn it, I don’t know where it’s going to be after all!

I see!

That’s why that guy wasn’t in the castle!

I think the placement means there could be several other places, but it’s going to be extremely difficult to find them. ……

I have less than one hour!

Of course it’s impossible to find it on time!

Ah, but it’s a crystal.

I know the shape is a round ball, or maybe like a quartz ball!

Nuh-uh, I don’t have a choice!

I set myself to use up to 200 MP.

I make the haze the size of a house and move it around.

It will take a while, but I should be able to find a reasonable area in an hour.

The strategy is to just walk through and if I spot something round there, I’ll stop and take a closer look.

It only takes a moment for the whole place to show up in my sight, and it may be hard to spot, but I have to do it!

This is the quickest way to explore with the least use of MP.

But if I find even one crystal, I should be able to get some information about the magic crystal from the Voice of Heaven.

That’s my big bet.

If we can figure out what kind of thing the magic crystal is, we can figure out how to deal with it!

At first, I went from door to door to investigate with my haze.

In this realm of sight, the only round object I must find is crystal.

Yes, this method consumes very little MP.

Only the maintenance of the haze is required.

And the movement speed is also reasonably fast.

For a search skill, I think it’s a pretty good one.

I use the haze to check the house one after another.

I start with the houses around here.

I also check the streets and back alleys.

I don’t think they are placed only in houses.

I’m not sure if I can check even a quarter of the country. ……

Hang in there, me ……
