Episode 191

Power interpretation

“Please explain properly what you mean.”

『Hehe! What King Bon said. Do you remember?』

“memory?”

Elric tilted his head, wondering what Mephisto would say again.

Mephisto frowned.

『No matter how you look at it, you said it was strange that the barbarians here use the dragon language!』

“Oh, that? “I forgot.”

Haven’t you been busy trying to win the loyalty of the guardians and organize the ascending studies to hand out to the soldiers?

Because of that, I had already forgotten about the ‘secret’ that the Borfur people had.

In fact, even if the Borfur tribe had some connection with dragons in the past, it was difficult to think that such a relationship would still be maintained even now, more than a thousand years after dragons became extinct.

So I forgot about it.

It seems that Mephisto had a completely different idea.

“I was wondering where you were wandering around like that, and you were digging up this?”

『You’re running around! Don’t disparage King Bon’s desire for exploration with such trivial words! Do you know how much trouble this king has gone through and how many investigations he has conducted to uncover the secrets hidden by these barbarians?』

“Ah, yay yay. “How dare you do it, yay.”

『Pure thing! Even if you wash your eyes, you cannot find any respect for this king!』

While Elric was out of his mind after being held captive by the soldiers for nearly a month.

Mephisto was very bored because he didn’t play(?) with him.

The good news is that after capturing Judah, his strength was restored to a certain extent, and his autonomy increased significantly.

That was the reason why I went out every morning, saying I wanted to go somewhere.

Of course, there was still a distance limit to falling from Elric, and there was a time limit, so I had to return before 24 hours were up.

Still, that was no problem at all for Mephisto to act freely.

『I don’t like it, very… .』

Mephisto muttered to himself with a rather distressed look on his face for the first time in a while.

Elric had to shake his head as he looked at that scene.

‘I’m not even a child. Should I at least chime in?’

Perhaps because they had been together for so long, Elric now seemed to know Mephisto’s inner thoughts to some extent just by looking at his tone of voice.

Mephisto was speaking with his whole body.

Talk about your greatness right now!

He is expecting you to ask him directly what kind of achievements he has made so far.

For a moment, Elric thought he would just ignore it.

‘I was planning on taking a short break anyway. ‘Just ask?’

Elric was also curious about the fact that he had found a new dragon’s nest in addition to the one he had discovered, so he pretended not to win and asked.

“So what is that hidden secret?”

“done! Why would the King of Bonn talk to you, who has no interest or interest at all!』

“I asked because I was curious.”

“joy. Where are you going to eat it raw?』

“Are you really not going to tell me?”

『Of course!』

“Ah yes. That’s it then. all right.”

『… ?!』

Mephisto, who had hoped Elric would hang on more, ended up looking embarrassed this time.

『Hum hum! Still, the king I saw had a heart as broad as a large fish. If you seem genuinely curious, you might be willing to tell me… .』

“That’s Okay. Now that I think about it, it’s probably an owner’s nest anyway, so why bother? I’ll have to leave here soon too. “It’s just a waste of time.”

『No, so… !』

“You didn’t hear Mephie, right? We leave here in two days. In fact, I stayed longer than expected.”

“what? Then what about the nest?!』

“What do you know? “If you have any regrets, Mephie can dig it up yourself.”

“this person… !』

Mephisto stamped his feet with his face turning red, as if he was going to die from the poison.

Even if I got angry here, it would be difficult because he would say that he would not speak first.

Still, I felt like I was going to get sick if I kept such a great secret to myself and then left it alone.

‘I’m trying to beat someone.’

Elric snorted as he looked at Mephisto, who ended up losing every time he fought against him.

Then, Mephisto narrowed his eyes, barely able to control his excitement.

『Are you really going to go?』

“Is that so? How many times must I tell you… !”

『The Grigori are also coveting it?』

“… “What do you mean?”

Grigory. Even Elric couldn’t play around with that word anymore. My gaze automatically turned to Mephisto.

“joy! As expected, I can’t just ignore these words. But just saying it out loud… !』

“Stop playing around and speak properly.”

Elric’s tone became more serious than before.

Mephisto still said he didn’t like it, but because this matter was important to him, he spoke slowly.

『Have you never thought about that?』

“What are you thinking?”

『Why did Grigori establish his headquarters in the eastern border area?』

“… “Does that mean it’s a dragon’s nest here?”

『It may seem like an excessive leap, but it wouldn’t be surprising if there really was a proper dragon’s nest here. is not it?”

Mephisto raised one corner of his mouth.

Elric placed his hand on his forehead.

‘Why didn’t I think of that?’

Prince Zereitz and the Inspectorate pursued Grigori for a long time. And they pointed out the Winds Frontier Province as their protector.

It may not have been just a case of false accusation. If I did that, there was only concern that I would face political backlash.

Perhaps there was plausible evidence.

There is evidence that Grigori’s headquarters is truly in the Winds Frontier.

and.

In fact, when the Red Lion Army was attacking the imperial subjugation army, it was discovered that Grigori’s demons had joined them.

If so, a question must be raised here.

why?

Why did Grigori coil up on the eastern frontier?

Is it because it’s a lawless area and it’s easy to hide?

Of course, that could be one of the reasons, but it won’t be that simple.

Since Grigori’s purpose was to revive Azazel, their every action had to be deeply calculated.

‘To revive Azazel, a vast amount of magical power is needed. There must be limits to the human sacrifices that were practiced in the north… . But with the magical power left behind by the dragon, there is a good chance of victory.’

Of course, if it were just a regular dragon’s nest, it might not have much of an effect.

What if the dragon’s body remains in the nest Grigori found, just like in the Jewel Dragon’s nest?

The story will be different then.

Elric had to sigh at his complacency for not thinking this far.

My guess was that if I had thought a little more deeply, I could have easily reached it.

‘I was so out of it. ‘I couldn’t even see that far ahead.’

Elric had to feel his limits once again.

And although it seemed light on the outside, I was quite surprised by Mephisto’s very deep insight.

“So that’s why you were wandering around.”

『We can’t let those Azazel guys do good things. is not it?”

Elric let out a laugh.

Although he acted as if he was indifferent to the world’s affairs, he wanted to do whatever he could to screw up Azazel.

『Barbarians… ‧ So Borfur? Anyway, the word they use to refer to themselves means ‘child of the dragon.’ We have protected the dragon’s home for generations.』

“Holy land… Is it there?”

“okay.”

When the military camp was first established here. One of the conditions put forth by the Borfur people was that they should not set foot in what they considered a ‘holy place.’

Behind the home of their clan, a place that can only be reached by going very deep into the canyon.

Anyway, Elric had no intention of causing unnecessary trouble here and being chased by the enemy, so he didn’t pay any attention to it.

‘If Grigori shows interest, the story will be different.’

Elric’s eyes lit up as he stroked his chin with his hand.

“Then is that Grigori’s headquarters?”

『If that were the case, we would have been found out a long time ago.』

Elric nodded.

『Fortunately, Grigori had just discovered the other side and seemed to be continuing to explore the surrounding area.』

“That means… !”

『It would mean that they could attack from here first before they do anything.』

Elric nodded heavily.

What is most needed for Azazel’s resurrection is being intercepted on the way?

There is nothing more certain than that.

However, the problem was that this was in the middle of enemy territory.

And it is a place that has a deep connection with sailors.

I didn’t hear exactly what the relationship was, but if I caused a commotion carelessly, something big could happen.

‘I don’t know what will happen to Count Calliger or Viscount Curanciville if they find out about this.’

Elric was not unaware of the conflict and division that had been taking place within the military camp.

‘But if you put it together well, I think you’ll get a good picture… .’

A proper picture has not yet emerged.

‘First, let’s take a good look around the place called the nest.’

But he couldn’t leave his position right away.

Elric spread his hands wide, thinking that he should try another move.

“【Come out】.”

Tsutsutsu-

Gray magical energy floated above the palm, drawing a small whirlpool.

As part of the power ‘North Wind’ was released, some of the ghosts who had given him complete loyalty suddenly popped their heads out.

Kiyi?

The ghost tilted its head as if asking it to do something.

“【Show me】.”

When he activated the ghost again, Elric felt for a moment that the red thread connecting him to the ghost became even thicker.

And all my mind turned towards the ghost.

My vision seemed to become slightly blurry, but then came back into focus.

However, it felt completely different from before. The view reflected was completely different. Elric, his own face was right in front of his eyes.

Strengthening the connection with the ghost, they now share both eyes.

『Anyway, you do all kinds of strange things.』

Mephisto was seen shaking his head.

The ghost carrying Elric’s thoughts did not respond in any particular way, but just stared at Mephisto.

[…] .]

『… ?』

[…] ?]

『… !』

Mephisto looked at me wondering why he was like this, but belatedly realized what he meant and frowned.

Because it meant taking the lead.

Mephisto looked annoyed at the fact that he had to go down the same path he had just taken, but he soon moved his body in that direction as if he had no choice.

The ghost also floated into the air, exited the barracks, and quickly followed Mephisto.

Numerous sights pass by beneath my vision.

‘Sailor? ‘Who is she with?’

At one point, Elric caught a glimpse of Sailor walking down the street and talking with a woman who appeared to be blind.

The woman, who appeared to be from the Borpur tribe, had something mysterious about her.

It certainly looks very ordinary on the outside.

Contrary to its appearance, it had an absolutely unusual history.

Holy?

It could be expressed that way.

It feels completely different from the magic power of a wizard or a demon.

It was divine power.

Elric wondered who Sailor was meeting, but decided to ask about it later, so he put aside his interest for a moment.

In addition to this, it was seen at first glance that Hermann was training the knights, and for some reason, Brian was seen engaged in a war of nerves with the soldiers of Count Franz’s family.

Leaving behind so many scenes, the ghost passed through the tribal village with Mephisto and entered the canyon.

I passed by and passed through a road so dark that not a single ray of light came through.

『This is the place.』

Mephisto reached a point and stopped.

Faaaa!

It was a cave where a huge amount of magical wind blew like a storm.
