Episode 86
A wolf
‘Did your grandfather also visit the Temple of Flowers?’
As he left the palace, Elric suddenly had this thought.
He was a person I had never seen before because he died before I was born.
Elric knew better than anyone else what kind of face he had, what kind of personality he had, and what path he took.
Idol.
To him, his grandfather was that kind of person.
But does such an idol follow the same path?
As Elric, I couldn’t help but feel excited.
Of course, it is unknown whether my grandfather really went to the Temple of Flowers.
Perhaps there was a purpose for research into the depths of the black snowfield, where no one can come out once they enter.
but.
‘You must have come, I’m sure.’
Elric somehow felt that the path he was about to take would be the same as the path his grandfather took 40 years ago.
There’s no evidence, but doesn’t everything say that’s the case?
More than anything.
‘It’s the same with intuition.’
Although it was a bit funny that a wizard who was supposed to delve into the mysteries of the world and pursue reason and rationality did so through ‘intuition’.
Still, Elric was confident that his intuition would never be wrong.
‘The road that my grandfather saw… What was it like?’
I was very curious about that.
so that.
Elric was planning to go and check that road with his own eyes from now on.

“You said General Dong, right? “When will this sandstorm and cold wind stop?”
Sean quietly narrowed his eyes as he looked at the sandstorm that was covering the city sky black.
Antromorphs are always protected by a barrier created by monuments erected on the border. The beastmen were able to comfortably establish a home there as they were able to block all kinds of monsters and even natural disasters pouring from the black snowfield.
However, it was frustrating for the group that had to go outside the barrier from now on.
Not only did it block the view, but it also brought severe winter cold, so I wondered how I could get through it.
Carol, who was next to me, nodded in agreement.
“Ugh, sure! “If you think about it, it’s amazing how the Furies invaded against the wind.”
“I see.”
“huh? “Isn’t there such magic?”
“There is so much magic in the world, how can you know it all?”
“Hey, you too, Master. “You don’t make such cruel jokes carelessly.”
“What are you talking about?”
“… “You weren’t kidding, were you?”
“what?”
“omg! “You’re not telling me to go through that road on my own, are you?”
Carol pointed outside the city with her face turning blue.
In fact, the other party members were wizards or expert masters, so they might have been able to protect themselves in some way, but as a mere coachman, he could not help but be scared.
Just getting to this city located on the outskirts of the Black Snowfield was so difficult that I thought I would die, but how far can I go?
Then, Carol belatedly realized that Sean was holding back laughter, and she screamed.
“young master! Don’t do that! Keep people apart… ! “Even if you look like everyone else, please don’t look like Master Elric!”
This time Sean’s face hardened.
“hey. Are you talking too harshly? “No matter how much I do, I’m not as good as Elric.”
“You don’t feel any different these days, do you?”
“Cancel.”
“I can’t.”
“What’s wrong with me, you bastards?”
While Sean and Carol were having a war of nerves with each other, Elric appeared with a puzzled expression.
“Are you asking because you don’t know?”
“Are you asking because you don’t know?”
Elric was taken aback by the two people’s question, which seemed to be asking something very obvious.
“Oh my! Hey, Carol! You’re always so polite to your master, but you keep being mean to me these days? I am still your master’s best friend in name and name… !”
“That’s none of my business.”
“under. “I really lived in vain, I lived in vain.”
“I did not know?”
“You didn’t know until now?”
“Shut up, you guys!”
Even when Elric fired back, Sean and Carol only snorted.
Have they suffered so much because of Elric? Of course, there was no way such words would fall on deaf ears.
“I found a way to get through that, but if it’s not necessary, there’s nothing I can do… !”
“Oh my! White dust settled on our Master Elric’s shoes. Why didn’t you tell me? Do you know what this Carol was originally called? Carl of cleanliness! Isn’t this the epitome of cleanliness? “Stay still!”
Carol took out a handkerchief from her pocket and began to clean Elric’s shoes while blowing on it.
For a moment, Elric thought, ‘Should I just kick this thing?’, but then he put his left foot out without any hesitation.
“The toe of my left foot was a little worn.”

“this! It would be a big problem if it were torn like this! I don’t want you to stay like this. Let’s get inside the carriage and rest comfortably. In the meantime, I’ll have your shoes repaired neatly by Carol!”
“You have to drive the carriage, right?”
“no way. Do I drive the carriage? I don’t know what to say. “Don’t worry.”
Sean looked at Elric and Carol who were getting along well and shook his head as if he couldn’t stop them.
Then I asked Elric.
“How are you going to pass? It looks like the Furies are receiving massive protection. Are you going to go to a temple somewhere?”
“no. “I will cross the path of the wind.”
“wind… what?”
Sean looked at me like I was saying something stupid.
It was clearly visible to Elric with his eyes wide open.
Countless grains appear as if they were drawn through a random sand storm.
Among them, there were some that stood out particularly strongly.
‘Just imitate that blessing and that’s it. is not it?’
Gaho, who was protecting the Fury Corps from General Dong, artificially caused a sandstorm to deflect them.
Elric was able to watch it continuously throughout the three days of the invasion, and thanks to this, he now not only had the entire process in his head, but also understood the principles.
Of course, even if you do that, you won’t be able to copy the large-scale magic exactly, but it wasn’t that difficult to remove only the necessary parts and use them.
“Here comes the king. “Then let’s get going.”
A new journey has begun.

In a cavity where there is no light at all.
There, very slowly, a mysteriously shining eye opened.
[Are you posting something like that now?]
The voice rang so loudly that it made you wonder if the entire community was going to collapse like this.
Battle of Yukhap!
In the East, it was an art of bursting one’s voice into the air simply through will.
Moreover, the murderous intent contained within it was so intense.
Barasen, the commander of the anti-Antromov invasion force, had to hit his head even harder on the floor.
“I will accept the punishment for my sin. But please know that this was the best option at the time.”
For a moment, Barasen had to feel the back of his head heating up.
That probably means that their owner is glaring at them.
And I had no doubt that he would recognize my loyal intentions without filtering.
Because the master has the supernatural ability to see through the inner thoughts of low-level things and to see into the future.
just as expected.
[…] Is it Mervinger again?]
Crrr-
There was a sound of boiling phlegm, like an animal growling.
[Both then and now, those born with that bloodline continue to persistently harass me every day.]
Barasen bowed his head even more deeply.
To the outside world, the owner is simply the head of the Young Tiger clan, and as the leader of the Fury, he is known only as an ambitious person who rebelled against the ruling system of the Tiger family.
In fact, Barasen knew that the master was Hoseon (狐仙, a fox sage) who had practiced the Tao for over hundreds of years.
Then, by chance, he ran into a confrontation with the Mervinger family head of the time and fell to the ground.
It is said that King Yulho, who was leading the beastman tribe at the time, took it from him and he was able to survive, but the wound in his heart that he suffered at that time has not yet healed.
However, Mervinger blocked his path twice after that.
Once 40 years ago.
And until this time… !
I couldn’t help but think that if the owner said Mervinger, it would be natural to grind one’s teeth.
“My convictions are so dull that I cannot tell whether that young man is Mervinger or not. But he knows that his master had to suffer humiliation because of him.”
Recently, there have been frequent reports that there are cities in the ‘Union’ under Fury that are starting to have different thoughts after hearing the news of Antromorph.
Of course, those places took extra care to set an example.
Barassen was well aware that these phenomena were never positive.
No matter how solidly a tower is built, it can collapse if just one axis is missing.
“So please give us a chance to punish him.”
[Is there a way?]
“I just heard from the ‘eye’ planted near Antromorph that he has left Antromorph.”
[left? Where?]
“We are still investigating, but we are guessing it may be a flower temple.”
[I am following the same path that my ancestors took.]
“It seems so.”
[so. How are you going to catch him?]
Barasen, who had been lying face down, slowly raised his head.
As befits the Western tribe to which he belongs, he smiled a cunning smile reminiscent of a mouse.
“I plan to burn the entire temple down.”
[The temple of flowers is a pantheon. If we touch it hastily, the arrow may only come back to us.]
Barasen focused on the fact that the owner only expressed concern and did not say no.
“By nature, flowers burn very well in fire. Moreover, it is now winter when General Dong has come. It’s not a good season for flowers to bloom. Rather, wouldn’t the land become more fertile only if we cultivate it once like this?”
[This is sophistry.]
“Then we will proceed accordingly.”
[If things go as they should, of course we will have to give up the tail, but I will give you one last chance.]
“Thank you for your grace.”
Barasen bowed his head and carefully stepped back.
and.
His master, the Blood King, slowly raised his body only after confirming that Barasen had completely retreated.
Rumble!
The King of Blood was so enormous that the cave, which was large enough to accommodate hundreds of people, was shaking.
Then his gaze turned to the other side.
A place that Barasen had not noticed. A man hidden behind a veil of darkness slowly revealed himself.
It was a demon with a pale expression and a horn growing on its left temple.
[I think that’s enough for that side. Let’s finish what we were talking about.]
“Of course.”
Hearing the demon’s faint laughter, the Blood King narrowed his eyes.
[You need ice crystals?]

As Elric boasted, the carriage did not experience much difficulty despite crossing General Dong’s sandstorm.
Carol wondered how this kind of magic was possible.
“I’m usually pretty good, right?”
He shook his head with an expression of disgust at Elric’s condescending attitude.
But it was true that I was able to go comfortably thanks to that, so I didn’t say anything else.
Thanks to General Dong, the number of monsters appearing has also become extremely low.
‘But what on earth is the relationship between those two people? I heard you met in Lascent City. Are you in a relationship like that?’
Carol grinned as she looked at Elric and Isabelle who were talking earlier.
There are many rumors about Isabelle, the unscented flower, but it is true that it is still beautiful.
I thought that if it worked out well with Elric, it would be fun in its own way.
However, it seems like the blue lion also joins in and is talking about something very seriously.
I glance sideways at him, wondering what on earth he is doing.
Thanks to this, Carol was able to hear a very surprising sound.
“Do you ever want to learn swordsmanship?”
Wizard who swallowed talent
