Chapter 384 - Episode Thirty - Gizel's Attack (1)
“Abel-chan did such a drastic thing, huh. It was a manly thing to give up your achievents and position to protect a-chan. I thought Abel-chan would be more obsessed with the leader’s position and the strange tower in that territory.”
Sha laughed and made fun of .
“a-chan is so lucky too!”
Sha elbowed her.
“Ple-, please don’t tease …… Sha-san”
a blushed and crouched down.
I was watching her with a wry smile on my face.
I had Elia move the carriage and left the Fage territory with a and Sha.
…… I didn’t know who I could trust, and I really didn’t want to tell anyone, in case the person I got advice from might tell Peter, Altamir, or Lark where I will be going.
However, if I were to use magic for transportation, it would inevitably be a huge undertaking, and as Peter had always feared, it could trigger a war at worst.
For this reason, we needed carriages to travel within the country and ships to travel outside.
I was going to ask Elia to take to a port city and then sohow find a place for to go, but …… luckily or unluckily, Sha found out that I was sneaking around and making preparations.
Sha is well knowledged in geography and told us where we would go, what route to take, where to leave to get to where we were going, and even though she had other things to do, she offered to accompany us.
Sha’s idea was to head for the Galshard Kingdom from the port city of Radam.
It’s a little farther away than the city we had originally envisioned, but if we rest in the city for a day, there is a rchant ship that will take us there the next day.
If you’re a skilled sorcerer, they said, you will be accepted as an escort with open arms.
The Galshard kingdom, whose state religion is Garusha, the god of the earth, is said to be a warm-hearted place that has never been in conflict with any other country for a long ti.
…… Peter was concerned about the possibility that the Galshard Kingdom was being controlled by Count Julem as his minions, but if that were taken into account, all five major powers would beco suspicious.
The Dinrat Kingdom was also being controlled by Count of Julem, after Peter, who controlled the country, made a desperate move, and Count Julem thanked him for doing what he wanted.
In that respect, the Riveras Church Kingdom, where the incident had already ended, was also a candidate, but I feared that if I seek asylum in that country now, the situation might beco even more complicated.
In addition to being land-locked, it would probably make look bad for so reason if I went to that country.
“…………”
Sha was watching as I pondered.
“What’s wrong?”
“…… But, are you sure you’re happy to be out of the land?”
“Yeah ……”
Sha, who usually only makes fun of my advice, asks with a hard expression.
“I was the one who advised you on the route out of the territory, but since you had prepared so many weapons, didn’t you have so important reason? Are you glad you left?”
…… Sha, who is touring the magic wave tower, seems to be just agitated, but since I’ve told her a lot of things, as expected she’s already noticed.
I’ve known for a long ti that she’s too perceptive, but it might have been better to hide or disguise it a bit more so as not to arouse the anxiety of those around her.
In the worst-case scenario, Lark will be treated as a traitor …… or might not be.
Since Peter is with him, he will crush us as much as he can.
“…… I can’t really tell about that on my own. However …… Um, since I’ve left my handover intact, so I’m sure soone else will be able to put it together soday.”
I’ve also left behind the mobile magic formula of the wooden dragon Quetzalcoatl.
If they’re at Altamir’s level, they probably can make it move.
If they can get it to work at full capacity, it should be enough to keep them fighting for a long ti against a magic-bound Kudor.
At the very least, a fake Levi with a dragon vein can be defeated if they take their ti, and a fake Levi without a dragon vein can be reduced to charcoal in less than three minutes.
Even if Julem throws a hidden force at them, they will probably not lose if they team up with Kudor.
“Did you precisely hand it over ……?”
Sha’s brow wrinkles.
“That’s right! Abel has thought this through and is working on it!”
a follows up.
That’s right. I’m not going to let Count Julem off the leash without thinking.
However, I could not entrust himself to Peter and Kudor without knowing when they would betray .
Both Kudor and Peter would probably try to solve the problem by killing a if the situation arose.
The weapons I left behind should be enough to repay the debt.
Quetzalcoatl, the wooden dragon, could unite the world if it wanted to, as long as it didn’t have soone like Kudor.
The fact that I left it under the control of Kudor and Peter is enough of a contribution.
“I-I see …… I see, well, that’s good then? I don’t know very much, so I don’t want to stick my head into it too much.”
Sha’s face twitched slightly and he looked away.
“And after all that, the thing I showed you before, who I was considering as my main asset, answers that I couldn’t build it from an ethical perspective.”
“Ethical …… perspective?”
Sha looks at quizzically.
a, tell her. Even I’ve got that much in .
“Abel, is that why you stopped the developnt? Wasn’t there so other reason?”
a shakes my body and asks with concern.
I always try to keep my ethics in check and keep it to the point where it’s safe.
In order for the magic wave tower to ripen all the necessary experints along the way, no matter how you try to limit the damage, you will be exposing the Dinrat kingdom to the threat of extinction more than a hundred tis.
Of course, the chances of each and every one of these occurrences should be close to zero, but I can’t say that I won’t overlook anything in my bet on the lives of all the people.
I can think of ten tis I could go into it, but the number of tis I’ve done so is troubling .
I’ve already done a lot of stuff to that tower, but I guess I’ll just have to give up and focus on it assisting as magic cell phone Magiphone.
