Episode 51.15
"Chief, you sure about this, leaving the mistress behind."
Chubby asked as he ward his hands over the campfire, Lecan replied after chewing his share of grilled at.
"I did not left her behind. She's staying there to take special training on ."
"But don't you have the option to remain there until that special training is over?"
"Yeah right, I know you know. There's nothing good to be had with being there in that atmosphere, not to Rubianafale nor Eda."
When Rubianafale found out about how Lecan declined an offer of from Guide Skalabel, and even gave away a to soone else because he's waiting for Eda to take her further, Rubianafale was deeply moved and recomnded Eda to train her under the temple head's guidance.
The temple head himself cannot use but the old Raikores Temple in Yufu houses accumulated knowledge of over a long period of ti. In fact, it was the temple head who guided Rubianafale's toward the zenith. The process of which involved taking five God Cures, sothing unattainable at anywhere but Yufu.
As part of reward for Lecan's deed, he was given five pieces of God Cures, which he refused and gave to Eda instead.
Eda was full of motivation and applied to study under the temple head. She will be staying at Yufu for the ti being.
On the other hand, there's nothing more for Lecan to do at Yufu.
With the defeat of Three Giants, Dungeon Yufu has gone dormant for a period of 120 days.
Dungeon Knights including the Might Unit are fully occupied with supervising public order, monitoring suspects and such it even affected their sleep schedule.
The only thing Lecan could do was getting the Great Fla Dragon's leather he got at Dungeon Yufu's Rocky Mountain turned into armor.
His Petitfire Dragon's armor was in tatter, it was unfit to be worn. Seeing that Marquis of Yufu gave Lecan an armor similar to the one Duo Bahn had. An adjustable free-size armor made from Great Fla Dragon's mat and Dylan Silver Steel.
It's an extrely well made armor for sure, but weight-wise it's more a heavy armor. It's awfully sturdy yes, but putting it on and off is a pain, it's on the heavier side, and it restricts movents to a degree. It's just not suitable for traveling. A leather armor made entirely of Great Fla Dragon's leather tailor made for him is all what Lecan wants.
The best craftsman in Yufu was tasked to make that.
That was fine and all, but Duo Bahn got really angry when he found out that Lecan got his own Great Fla Dragon's leather. 'What the heck were you doing during that ti of ergency', he asked.
'We ca across a Great Fla Dragon by pure chance when we took a shortcut, so we went and beat it', even Lecan himself found the excuse his mouth uttered la.
Afterward, Duo asked him what about the rest of the leather, fangs, bones, blood and entrails. Lecan replied they left it behind since they had no ti, Duo got angry again, 'what a waste'.
As for the leather, even after accounting for the amount needed for Lecan's and Eda's armor as well as spares for maintenance, there was still more than twice the amount left, so Lecan asked to leave the rest.
When Lecan complained how bad the Great Fla Dragon's at tasted, Duo got mad again, 'That's the best magic catalyst ya know.'
The Three Giants' dropped three treasure chests containing , , and , all of which Black handed to Lecan.

is a ring. Equipping this allows the user to breathe underwater.
At first Lecan planned to take it easy until his armor is done. Even if he couldn't get in the dungeon, there should be so powerful magic beasts lurking deep inside Mt. Yufu. There's an abundance of good quality herbs growing in the vicinity as well. And he's got to process the herbs he had on him already. Yufu should house first class facility for it. There were plenty of ways to kill ti.
However, as it turned out, neither Yufu's palace nor the downtown was welcoming to Lecan.
It was bad in Palace due to his action of killing Viscount Dantesta Waido. Yufu had spent hundreds of years without dostic conflicts nor had it been invaded by outside forces. There was no precedence of nobles getting killed by violence. Lecan, who blew the viscount's head off, got to be called by the palace's personnel, abhorred by them.
And it wasn't welcoming in the downtown because of his killing and wounding of the Peacekeeping Knights. To Yufu's townspeople, the Peacekeeping Knights are a reliable ally who kept them safe from magic beasts and maintained public order. Lecan who drove those knights to near collapse beca an object of hatred to those people. There was not an insignificant number of people who were indignant when they found out about Lecan killing knights they knew or severing their right arms.
The investigation is still taking place even now, but the more they dug deeper the more it made clear the scope was bigger than they realized. Were all the supporters punished, the entirety of Yufu would beco dysfunctional. Moreover, those who are under control of Geitglein through will eventually co back to their sense overti.
The ritual magic assault on the Northern Tower marked a year since the amulet was used. It appears Geitglein didn't really care about what happened afterward as long as he could get the townlord and his heir, Rubianafale, viscount Ruka and his heir and the temple head under the amulet control.
They could not erase the fact that a revolt took place.
Geitglein and his son Wolglein will be granted a honorable death after the investigation is over. By letting them take poison themselves.
Wolglein's little sister, Lady Anafol will be wed to a husband and continue the line of Southern House. However they will not have a seat at the Elder Assembly. Their wealth will be severely diminished, and they will have no more special privileges besides being a relative to the townlord.
Lady Anafol was a fiancee of Ashidgrein, but their engagent had now been officially called off. Also, there was that ti when a father of one of Ashidgrein's fiancees sent assassins to Lady Rubianafale which the townlord, Parkugrein stopped after issueing a stern warning to that noble, turned out Geitglein had been pulling the strings in the matter behind the screen so that warning extended to him as well.
Lecan felt like this news cleared up so doubt he had deep in his mind.
The daughter of that warned noble was formally taken off the engagent as well this ti. As such, Ashidgrein is now left with two fiancees. He's expected to take in a princess in the near future.
It was announced that Peacekeeping Knights had been fed false info, and thus beca an unwilling accomplice in the revolt. It was also announced that adventurer Lecan went to fetch Dungeon Knights in Dungeon Yufu, and fought against the Peacekeeping Knights to protect until Dungeon Knights' arrival.
However, people gradually started to believe that it wasn't the truth and the rumor was true instead. There are several reasons for that.
First of all, a surprising amount of people witnessed an ominous black object falling down from Mt. Yufu. After which the Northern Tower collapsed. The order of things should be reversed in reality, but the more people talked about it, the less that beca the truth to them.
Secondly, his abnormal strength at routing the Peacekeeping Knights in a very short order. The rumor from the palace gradually leaked out as well.
Thirdly, the damage Peacekeeping Knights suffered was too extensive. At first, every one of those knights was arrested, but later the lower ranked personnel was released and given duty. Among them, those who were aware of the Peacekeeping Knights' damage by Lecan's hands spoke of how he resorted to violence without even attempting to negotiate.
Lastly, Viscount Dantesta Waido's faction insisted on Lecan's cruelty and terror. As if they were the victims here. But to those unaware of Dantesta being under mind control naturally saw him as a noble individual while Lecan a villain.
Once Marquis of Yufu found about the infamy Lecan garnered among Yufu's populace, he suggested to make Lecan's dedication to Rubianafale and the debts Yufu owed him known. But Lecan declined the suggestion. There is no way he'd allow that when it could harm Rubianafale's reputation.
Marquis Parkugrein decided to keep the existence of strictly confidential. Everybody present in the was imposed with a gag order. Thus so long as the amulet's existence is not disclosed, the people will never accept that what Lecan did was just.
Though to Lecan himself, these bad rumors an nothing. At worst, it only made it difficult for him to enjoy shopping. The marquis, his heir, the important people, and most of all, Rubianafale know what Lecan did, and they're all grateful for it. That's good enough.
Lecan decided to leave Yufu on his own. He asked to get the armor delivered to Wazrof once it's done.
Lecan asked Nodlein if the checkpoint would still be closed, to which Nodlein replied yes. Thus he asked Nodlein to let a knight nad Ezak sent by Zaidmahl townlord pass by the checkpoint when he ca by. After knowing the circumstance, Nodlein offered to send soone to find and fetch Ezak at Sopdemoa. This was a welco offer since Ezak is likely waiting at Sopdemoa until the checkpoint is open again.
Nodlein promised that he would give the utmost hospitality to this Ezak, being soone Lecan owed a debt to. Apparently, he was very grateful as well as guilty to Lecan for the matter this ti. So it was a good thing he never complained about the stuff with overlord.
Marquis of Yufu rewarded Lecan handsoly. He even promised that Yufu would lend its power to Lecan should he need it in the future. Eda and Chubby were also rewarded generously.
By the way, Chubby didn't just loiter around during the ti Lecan delved in the dungeon. He investigated people who had deep connections with Geitglein, those who were under his influence and those whose behaviors turned radical in the past several years. That despite him not knowing about the until Lecan told him, his insight was astounding as ever. The result of his investigation was delivered to Nodlein per Lecan's order. Nodlein was astonished by Chubby's investigative prowess and even offered him a position under Marquis of Yufu House.
"You could have stayed at Yufu. Human resource capable of your investigative expertise must be in short supply there."
"Oh no no. That place is a bit too peaceful, not anywhere I want to stay for too long."
"Weird guy. Peaceful is good if you want to settle down."
"A place too beautiful. A place where justice goes unntioned. A place where n get along with one another. I just can't live sowhere like that, see. On that note, I can rest easy staying close to Chief Lecan."
"What do you an."
"Everywhere Chief Lecan goes, there will be without fail, an incident. A swirling vortex of hatred and grudge, where people hurt and prey on one another. No matter how peaceful that place was, wherever Chief goes, there be a strife."
"Don't treat like a God of Misfortune, you."
"Yufu had been enjoying peaceful tis for so so~ long."
"Hm?"
"Then suddenly it was chaos, people died, all hell broke loose. There were betrayals, a revolt. What do you think those accustod to peace would co to believe then?"
"Beats ."
"'This bad thing wasn't due to us, it was brought from outside', that's what, see. Thus Chief was appointed the villain role. They wanted to make it all your fault, Chief."
"Hmph."
(Is this guy.)
(Consoling ?)
"So of those people even seriously considered asking the Palace when will the summoned overlord go back to the underworld, y'know."
(Scratch that.)
(He's just poking fun of .)
"Speaking of which, where do you plan to go now?"
"Rotor for now. To where at is."
"Hee?"
This was the mont Lecan's expression shifted. He stared at the thing that suddenly erged in the depth of darkness, full of overwhelming bloodlust.
Chubby registered that it was so sort of ergency when he saw that expression.
"Chubby, get away from here. I'll run off on my own as well. Do not go after no matter what. Else, you're dead at."
(I'll finish you off this ti.)
(I've got Sword of Toron and Magic Mirror of Ryin on now.)
(Go ahead and rage your fla on.)
Enveloped in bluish white flas, Argent Fla Wolf stood in the darkness of forest.
