Chapter 62. Arrangement (4)
6.
The venue turned into a mess.
Muak Rudrik, who was left alone in the blood-covered space, looked dumbfounded.
It was because he couldn’t accept the fact that Raden and his subordinates, who had just talked to him, had turned into corpses in the blink of an eye.
“… … .”
One more thing here.
There was someone who confused my mind.
This is Noah Darshen, a black-haired girl who suddenly appears and asks to hear the conversation she had with Radden.
“what? “You’re sure you didn’t faint, right?”
Meanwhile, is it because there is no response from Muak?
Noah waved his hand in front of Muak, who was as stiff as a stone statue. Then, his eyes widened as if he suddenly realized something.
“Oh, maybe you don’t want to talk to me. “Then how about this?”
Noah snaps his fingers lightly.
This was a predetermined signal.
Then the group sent a girl with gray hair to Noah’s side. The girl approached us and opened her mouth with her embarrassed face.
“Oh, it’s been a while. Muak.”
“… … Sirpi Ludrik?”
At that time, Muak finally opened his mouth.
He opened his lips, which had been tightly shut until now, and asked back with a still confused face, as if he did not understand the current situation.
“I heard you died… … .”
“I’m not dead. “She almost died, though.”
Sirpi corrected himself.
Among them, when Istan El Deorg discovered my identity, I really thought I was going to die.
After briefly reminiscing about the past, Sirpi sighed deeply. Then he looked back at Muak again.
“There is something I want to talk about more than that.”
“What conversation… … .”
“A story about Arena Ludric, the new leader of the church, and the Abyss.”
Was it because of something unexpected?
Muak’s eyebrows trembled.
However, he could not continue the conversation even with Sirpi. This was because someone suddenly intruded into the conversation.
“by the way.”
A hunter approached without notice.
It was Sven Isaac. He was lying down on the floor and spoke with a very serious face.
“I think it would be best to move somewhere first.”
“huh? why?”
“I think the tower will collapse soon.”
“… … yes?”
Noah asked blankly.
And at that moment, as if to prove that what Sven had said was true, a strong vibration suddenly came.
Coo coo coo coo!
A tower shaking violently.
I don’t know why, but just looking at it, it looked like it was about to collapse. Ulan, who sensed this, immediately grabbed Noah and Sirpi by the waist.
“Everyone, gather around me!”
Delia, aware of the seriousness of the situation, deployed defensive magic. The starlight shining shield wrapped around Muak and his group as if protecting them.
Some time after that.
Quarrrrrrr!
The Tower of Zartoum collapsed with a loud noise. It was the moment when the tower that had risen from beneath the sand returned to its original position.
7.
After the tower completely collapsed.
Ulan and his party, who managed to secure their safety thanks to Delia’s magic, escaped the wreckage and settled down at the foot of a nearby sand dune.
It was to spend another night in the desert. Afterwards, the group who lit a bonfire sat together and had a strange confrontation.
Ulan and his group and Muak’s group.
There was no conversation between the parties divided into two factions. At a time when there was only silence, a short cough suddenly rang out.
“Big, hmm!”
A sound that breaks the awkward atmosphere.
Everyone’s eyes turned to where the sound came from.
“First, let me introduce myself.”
It was Noah who cleared his throat.
She shook herself off and got up.
Because I couldn’t stay silent like this forever. So, with her hand on her chest, she looked straight at where Muak was.
“My name is Noah Darshen. “I am a student at Arsene Academy, and I came to the desert to help Sirpi Rudrik.”
“… … Arsene Academy?”
Muak reacted to those words.
Because I had heard of it.
The story of Sirpi Rudric leaving the desert and entering Arsene Academy. He later heard a rumor that he was caught up in some kind of incident and died.
However, Sirpi appeared before my eyes alive and well, so I was able to understand the identity they revealed.
However, at the same time, one question arose.

“I just want to ask you something.”
“Yes, please feel free to ask.”
“They say they came to the desert to help Sirpi Ludrik. So does that mean they do the same?”
Where Muak’s gaze was directed.
Laurea and Ian were there.
Just looking at them, his eyes glowed fiercely at the sight of them dressed as a priest of Eloden and a paladin.
“Interesting. “Those who call the church a heresy are helping Syrpi Rudric.”
“Oh, that’s… … .”
For a moment, Noah was speechless.
However, for a moment, she hurriedly tried to explain the reason. But Laurea’s response was much faster than that.
“Wrong.”
“what?”
“It means that the reason we came to the desert was not to help Sirpi Rudrik.”
“Then why did you come to the desert?”
“I’m trying to help here.”
Laurea’s eyes moved.
Muak’s eyes also moved to follow her gaze. Eventually, the place my eyes landed on was where Ulan was.
“I owe this person a debt. Otherwise, why would we help the heretics?”
“… … .”
Is it because of the tone that belittles them?
Muak’s eyes shone coldly.
Afterwards, those who followed him also wrinkled their faces, and the atmosphere quickly turned ugly. Just as it would not be strange if a stabbing occurred at any time.
Then at that moment.
“Leave it there.”
A sound was heard breaking the harsh atmosphere.
It was Ulan, who was quietly warming himself by the campfire. He looked at Muak, who was showing hostility, and uttered a dry word.
“If you show hostility to my colleagues, I have no choice but to do the same.”
Then, Muak’s momentum broke down.
It was natural. Because Ulan was Muak’s benefactor and a monster who turned all his enemies into pieces of meat in the blink of an eye.
On the other hand, did Ulan’s intervention gain strength?
Laurea stuck out her chest and made a triumphant expression. The atmosphere suddenly became cold again, and Noah cleared his throat.
“greatness! Huh! Well, I think that’s enough of our introduction. “Next, it’s your turn.”
Anyway, the conversation had to continue.
Noah looked at Muak, and Muak, sensing this, suddenly adjusted his posture.
“First of all, thank you for helping me.”
Immediately, without hesitation, he bowed his head to Ulan. Whatever their purpose, it was true that their lives were saved.
“I am Muak Rudrik. “I am the great warrior of the Desert Church, and this group follows me.”
That was the end of Muak’s introduction.
However, Noah did not bother to ask.
This was because I had already heard information about Muak from Sirpi.
“great. Now that everyone has introduced themselves, let’s get to the point.”
“Main subject?”
“About Arena Ludric and the Abyss.”
“Hmm, now that I think about it… … .”
I definitely said that.
Muak nodded. Noah’s words continued again.
“But before I explain this, there is something I want to hear from you first.”
“hmm? “What’s the story?”
“Please tell me what happened recently at the Desert Church. “That’s also why you, the person closest to the next religious leader, ended up wandering the desert.”
The one who was closest to becoming the next religious leader.
Immediately after Noah finished answering, Muak twitched his eyebrows and glared at Sirpi. Because she was the only one who could tell this information.
At this, Sirpi looked away as if trying to ignore it, and Muak quickly sighed and responded.
“… … Phew, I get it. “I’ll tell you.”
“W-Muak?!”
Meanwhile, as soon as he finished answering, the desert warriors who had kept their mouths shut opened their eyes.
“What do you mean by that?”
“They are outsiders!”
“What’s more, there are dogs from the Holy Kingdom, so it’s not okay to carelessly reveal the secrets within the church… … !”
“Before he was an outsider, he was a lifesaver.”
Muak responded in a stern tone to the warriors who tried to dissuade him from taking action. It meant that he had no intention of taking back what he had just said.
“And if we don’t explain the situation inside the church, they won’t tell us what we’re curious about, so we’ll have no choice but to tell them.”
“It’s nice to communicate well.”
Noah smiled brightly.
As if to say the guess is correct. Muak sighed deeply again and opened his mouth. It was to answer the question I just heard.
8.
What happened recently in the Desert Church.
To summarize this in one word, it could be said that the competition between successors ended and a new leader was chosen.
Arena Ludrick.
She was only third in line of succession, but about three months ago, her power suddenly began to increase rapidly.
‘If it were 3 months ago… … .’
It overlaps with the time when Ulan and his group fought with Asteban on a school trip. While Noah was aware of this, Muak continued speaking.
“Things have changed since then.”
“How has it changed?”
“The elders of the church began to unanimously nominate Arena Rudric as the new leader.”
A sudden change in attitude.
However, it was not only the elders who changed.
“Then Arena Ludric accepted the elders’ recommendation as if he had been waiting, and soon entered into an all-out war with Heor, who was second in line. and… … .”
“Arena Ludric won.”
“Yes, overwhelmingly.”
Heor Ludrik’s power was powerful.
There were 10,000 warriors and shamans under his command right now, and this was not a number that even Muak Ludrik could absolutely ignore.
However, Arena Rudric destroyed this size of army in just three days. Even to the point where there was almost no damage on her side.
“Afterwards, feeling the power gap, I admitted defeat and withdrew from the competition. But it wasn’t long before I learned the terrible truth.”
Abyss.
This was the reason Arena Rudrik was able to win against Heor Rudrik.
Muak clenched his fists, probably remembering that time, and growled lowly.
“Arena Ludric colluded with the Abyss. “Where there was an ancient oasis, she created a passageway to the abyss and summoned monsters.”
A familiar situation, as if I had seen it somewhere before.
It is a development that is surprisingly consistent with the situation Ulan and his party experienced at the Fountain of Magic.
“This is against the will of our ancestors. That’s why I rebelled against Arena Ludrick.”
But the welcome ended in failure.
The monster of the abyss controlled by Arena Ludric was stronger than expected, and traitors also emerged from Muak’s forces.
“I tried to fight without giving up, but I did not have enough troops to fight an all-out war. “Then, by chance, I discovered their purpose.”
Sealing box.
I don’t know what their purpose was, but the warriors of the Desert Church were wandering around looking for the sealed chest under the orders of Arena Ludric.
In response, Muak intervened in the struggle to thwart their goal. With the intention of first finding the seal box and escaping out of the desert.
“But I ended up getting stepped on and ended up like this. “And then, with your help, I barely managed to save my life.”
What happened recently in the Desert Church.
Furthermore, Muak, who revealed the entire reason for wandering in the desert, immediately closed his mouth.
It meant that I was done talking.
But for a moment, Muak looked at the gray-haired girl next to Noah.
“Sirpi Ludrik.”
“Nenet?!”
Was it because of the sudden call?
Sirpi was startled and asked back.
“I have something I want to ask you too.”
“W-what is it?”
“You ran away after not being chosen by the divine beast, so why did you come back to the desert at a time like this?”
“Well, that’s… … .”
Sirpi rolled her eyes at the explicit question. He seemed to be thinking about what to answer. Then she heard her voice helping her.
It was Noah Darshen.
