366 Episode 111. Traces (6)

[There is no plan. It's just a purpose.]

The purpose of Sheila's speech was no different.

Helping Jin, a thousand-year-old solderlet contractor, reach Themeer's fourth tomb safely.

[Millah. She didn't want me to keep my word with the Soldier. Other kids, too. Everybody thinks our fairies' descendants are making useless sacrifices. Or think of having meaningless hope.]

"So you took Sheila down from the throne in effect, and she was in control of the forest?”

[Yes. Waiting for you was too uncertain, and even compensation was unclear...]... there are people who say they'll give us everything we want if we just give them a little bit of information. In a way, betrayal is a given.]

"What do the fairies' descendants want?”

[Returning our original form.]

Sheila spoke backward in a lonely voice.

[......I'll tell you more about this when I get a chance later. For now, the first thing to do is to overcome this situation and lead you to the fourth tomb of Themeer.]

Flirrrrrrrrrrrrrrr...!

Shining particles spread from Sheila's two wings. The son-in-law brightened up, revealing the surface of the tangled trees. The interior of the dreary cave felt just like the organs of a giant beast.

[Lulu, procrastinate.]

[Yes.]

[His fourth grave does not exist in this cave.]

Sheila has long foreseen the betrayal of Mila and her people.

Therefore, the real location of the fourth tomb was not revealed to anyone. The descendants of the other fairies, except Sheila, all believe that Temer's tomb exists at the end of the cave.

[Then where...]…?]

[Red Lake. Wantaramo Forest's source of water.]

The Red Lake was the largest water supplier to the Wantaramo Forest, leading to the Yulpi River outside. All the life of the forest, including fairy descendants, lived on the Red Lake.

[We need to get there as soon as possible. Before the pursuers arrive, the contractor must reach his grave first. Summon the Red Caves, Jean Looncandel.]

Sheila was told by the people of the tomb that Jean was a contractor for Shri.

Hwa-ah!

[Yah!]

Summoned Shri ran with all the party on her back. Once the red without being caught have to reach the end of the cave were able to move into a lake.

The cave was a deeper structure than Jean and Valeria had imagined. It took more than 30 minutes to ride the Shuri, which runs at full speed.

At the end of the day, you could see a huge door made of mana.

'It's like a door in a secret library in the stormy basement.’

Like that door, a kind of gate that requires a great deal of power to be destroyed without its footstep language. It was much more powerful than the stormy underground door.

When Sheila spoke the original language in the language of a fairy descendant, the door opened and the inside was revealed.

[Millah thinks beyond this door there will be my crown, the fourth tomb of Themeer, and the great legacy left by my ancestors...]….]

Beyond the door was just an empty space.

Only the bleak landscape of the untouched rock replaced the walls and the bleak wind that we did not know where it was coming from were the only ones to greet the party.

[There's nothing here. One day, when Mila becomes an adult, she was going to show this empty landscape. So I expected him to realize. How we became such an empty species.]

Mila is over two thousand years old, but Sheila thinks she is no different from the descendants of newborn fairies.

It was naturally painful for Sheila to see her brother who made the wrong choice because he couldn't grow up, and that she might have to kill him.

Dropping....!

The door closed.

[Oh, my God, I've lost my mind for a while. Keep going. From here on out, Lulu and Miru, I'm going to need your powers.]

What Sheila said meant was the unique dimensional ability of the Myoin people.

[Should I make a passage to the red forest?]

[Yes, if time permits, make way for us to put the pursuers in confusion.]

[About how much time do we have left?]]

Upon hearing that, Jean and Valeria came up with the same idea.

Where's the nearest tower from the Kiken Empire?’

Where was the nearest tower of the Jipple?’

a three-horse tower

We came to the same conclusion. The three-horse tower is on Rachan Island between the Rutero Magic Federation and the Beacon Sea, so it would certainly be there if the Jipple received the signal and put in its manpower.

"About three hours."

"Maybe it'll take about three hours. Assuming a fairy descendant named Milea can get word from the Zipple within an hour."

Jean and Valeria looked at each other, answering at the same time.

[Both of you calculate faster than I do. It's been a long time since I've forgotten the geography of humans, so I was confused.]

[Three hours is enough to make a maze.]

Lulu and Miru spoke confidently, but Sheila shook her head.

[But there's one fact that they're missing out on their calculations. Do you know the wand of the Jipple Masts?]

a mower's wand

There was a special rune on the stick. Valeria in her previous life, too, is an irritating run of letters that she has experienced in her present life.

"Is the jipple engraved in the Wantaramo forest with the rune letters calling the wizards of the tower?”

[Surely so. In the past, when Kellyak came to ask me to make her a crown, I gave her a cane. "and I assumed that the wand had the same rune letters as those of the Matapjus. "

Mila's betrayal was done decades ago. Of course there's a device in place for immediate calls.

[Two hours. That's what we have left. Lulu, Miru. Can you do that in there?]

[I'll try.]

Lulu and Miru pulled something out of their arms that seemed to be something's claws.

[Gin Looncandel, you'll have to be really good to us in the future.]

Lulu grinned.

But Jean could read the regret hidden behind the smile.

"......new."

As Jean said, it was his claws that the god of the cat bestowed on the cemeteries a long time ago.

[That's right. Even in the caves of the Little Sousers, they used these new things to protect you and the Souss. Fortunately, there are two left.]

One had Nehru and the other had Lulu and Miru.

Sinmul is the only way for the Myoin people to communicate with the gods of the previous generation cats.

The Myoin people use most of it for gin and small watermen.

"Mr. Sheila, can't you open the way by force?”

Jean said stuffyly.

It was a tree that formed a cave at best. It couldn't be cut by the force of Qin.

If you break down the cave, you will be lost by the trees. With Mila in control of the Wantaramo Forest, I'm bound to lose direction when the cave trees begin to flood. I'm sorry.]

I'm sorry.

Jin hated listening to it every time it was like this. I didn't understand why people who sacrificed a thousand years said they were sorry to themselves.

However, I knew that venting out of anger or making useless expressions would only make the people who sacrificed themselves more disturbed.

Therefore, Chimi held something in her heart and made a calm look.

I was determined to show them a reasonable result so that they wouldn't feel sorry for themselves.

And Valeria looked at Jean and thought,

'I was very disappointed at the first meeting, but the more I see him, the deeper he seems to be. Somehow, when you're dealing with me, it's not just full of the intention to use...….’

Valeria moved to Lulu and Miru's side.

"I'll help."

[Huh? Creating a subspace, forming a portal?]

"Yes."

[Thank you, but it's too complicated for humans.]

"The cemeteries' spatial abilities are more like power, but some parts are made up of magic, right? We'll read and assist the flow only when we need magic."

[Oh, well. Just waiting. But how did you know that our abilities include mana?]

"Because you smell of mana. It can't be so thick unless you use your magic.”

[There's a smell in the mana?]]

"Just try it and tell me right away if it bothers you. I'm going to fall in nicely. Or are you worried that I might find out the secrets of the Mighty Plant?”

[No, it's not like that, but...….]

As Valeria sat down and was seated, Lulu and Miru looked alternately at her and herself, and shrugged. I'm sure it'll get in the way......with such a face.

He also looked at Jin as if he was telling her to stop him.

Jean shook her head, however, as she was not in a position to call her subordinate.

[Can't do it.] Okay, but if you say it's disturbing, you've got to get out of here. We don't have time.]

"Okay."

Lulu and Miru carefully mumbled an unknown language, rubbing the claws of the cat god.

Then a spiritual violet energy began to spread in all directions, as Nehru had opened the third tomb, in which there was clearly a mixture of mana, as Valeria had said.

"I didn't know it at all, but did I know at a glance that the Mythos also use mana?"

Valeria was indeed a figure to be called 'teacher'.

"And it's a magic that you've never seen before, and you're going to support it by just looking at the flow?’

At least this time, I couldn't help but suspect Valeria in the order of magnitude.

No wonder it feels absolutely impossible for him to be a genius of all geniuses.

But Valeria was so naturally reading the flow of mana of the sages, as if to laugh at the worry.

He was already injecting his mana into it, accelerating the formation of the portal and the subspace faster.

[Hey, is this possible?]

[Huh, what the hell are you?!]]

Lulu and Miru looked at Valeria in surprise.

"You said it would be possible."

Valeria, who calmly answered, was sweating like rain.

He is doing his best to read the flow of mana.

The lobes quickly got wet, and the heat from her body was so great that the dye melted away.

Soon Valeria's red hair was revealed.

Sheila, unable to take her eyes off the hair, had a face of contemplation.
