Ankoku Kishi Monogatari ~Yuusha wo Taosu Tameni Maou ni Shoukansaremashita~ - 172 Replacer

◆ Dark Knight Croki

Dwarf’s capital, Vernd, is located inside Mount Ellios, just below the Ellios Tengu.

I came to this city many times to go to Tona’s library in Ellios’ Tengu.

I am an enemy of Ellios, so I can’t get in from the front.

We need to get through Vernd before we get in.

I’m not going to Ellios’ Tengu because I’m not working in Tona’s library this time.

I am now in the conference room near the top of the vernd.

This is a meeting place where dwarves and their wives gather to discuss various matters.

Magic footage is projected in the conference room.

Moving on to the footage is part of the forest.

“Hmm? What is that? Looks like you’re dead. Kuroki”

Oh, yeah, Kuna.

As Kuna on the side said, the forest in the video is dead.

And around it are fallen carcasses of forest creatures.

It doesn’t look like it’s burning. Probably poison.

“Exactly, Dark Knight. And look deep in the dead forest.”

Haybos God calls himself and points to a point in the video.

There you can see the head of a giant snake.

I described the head of a snake as not a complete snake. The snake has four legs.

Purple smoke from the snake’s mouth.

Perhaps that snake is breathing poison and depleting the trees of the forest.

“What is that?

“That’s Mushfush. A poisonous beast. And whoever’s on it….”

Haybos, as God says, there is someone on top of Mushfush.

I knew the man.

“That’s Dahaq, the prince of the snake… And the Bloody Princess Zafarada.”

A man with a long spear on his brown skin, undoubtedly Dahaq, son of the snake queen Diadona.

A woman in a red costume must be Zafarada, daughter of Reaper Zarxis.

You’re not here to attack Ellios, are you?

Eventually, watching the footage, angels wearing armor appeared in front of Dahaq.

The Holy Knights, led by Alphonse.

Dahaq and Mushfush quickly retreated when the Alphonse appeared.

When Dahaq and the others retreat, Alphonse and the others will not go any further.

If you look closely, Dahaq is not the only one.

And near Mushfush, there are also a multitude of perverts. Among them are several werewolves (Wolfmans).

Alphonse and the others can’t help it if we have company.

In the first place, Dahaq alone should be a pretty strong enemy.

“He suddenly showed up a few days ago. Aim for a time when Ferrion’s seal will weaken. Maybe they’re going to unseal the ferrion.”

Hayboss God touches his beard and roars.

Ferrion is sealed at the foot of Mount Ellios.

That said, Mount Ellios is huge. The foothills are also wide.

However, it appears that the Dahaks have broken into the woods from the closest place to the seal.

“Are you still aiming for a seal?

That said, Haybos God shakes his head.

“I don’t know. But if they’re going to unseal the Ferrion, they’re going to break up….”

Wesen Felion is a fierce god of violence.

Haybos explains that many of the gods of Diadonna’s fellow snake queen will oppose unsealing him.

That’s probably why Diadonna’s not moving.

Diadna and the others are, to say the least, a crowd of Ukrainians.

Break up easily.

A decent companion would be as good as Zalxis.

However, according to intelligence, Zarxis has exhausted too much magic when fighting himself and has not recovered yet.

It was an incomplete resurrection in the first place, and it seemed too impossible.

Zarxis is not moving, but Dahaq and Zafarada are the big ones that are breaking into the woods.

Of course, reinforcements may show up from now on.

“It’s not a big deal. It may be strong with the Prince of the Snake, but wouldn’t it be a problem if Alphonse and I were together?

Kuna says as she watches the video.

Maybe Kuna is right.

Dahaq is strong, but Alphonse is better off fighting near Ellios. In addition, Audis, the god king, will also move.

You may not have to move yourself.

Looks like Lena’s not moving right now. I didn’t even call for help from Raige and the others.

“Sorry, Dark Knight. I contacted Modes just in case, but it might have been a waste. Thank you for coming all the way.”

Haybos God lowers his head.

Hayboss, God contacted Modeth just in case.

But when I came, neither Diadonna nor Zarxis came.

Haybos apologizes for taking the trouble to get you here.

“It doesn’t matter, just in case. And because it’s a corner, I’m going to visit the foothills of Ellios.”

It doesn’t matter. Haybos has gods making various tools for free.

I must thank you for that.

At the foot of Mount Ellios is a dwarf settlement separate from Vernd.

The dwarves of the settlement are in control of the ferrion seal.

If Alphonse and the others are breached, it will be the final line of defense.

Well, I don’t think we’re going that far.

That’s why it’s a good place to visit the woods with Kuna.

Without Dark Knight armor, Dwarves should be able to guide us.

So himself and Kuna left Verndo behind.

◆ Black-haired Sage Chiyuki

With the exception of Reggie and Sahoko, we gather in the palace chat room.

Confectionery and tea are prepared in front of you, and it’s been a long time since I’ve felt relaxed.

The sweets are fried sweets with sesame seeds and honey.

Because it has a strong sweetness, I will eat it with refreshing tea.

Somehow you’re back, Chiyuki.

Reno tells me with his neck tilted.

The elves came, and today the next day they went home in peace.

Oleiad and Napier wanted to stay, but the leader and (Hi) Elf Princess Lucien decided to go home quickly.

I think it’s strange that you came home so quickly.

What are you doing here?

“That’s weird. According to the deer, Elf should have come to see Senpai Reiji, but….”

Nao seems strange.

Nao can talk to beasts.

It seems that they could not keep their mouth shut until the deer they brought in.

Deer taught me a lot of things with Nao’s abilities. According to the information, Lucien came out of the woods deliberately because she was interested in Raige.

I am grateful to the deer who taught me.

Remember the four Kellunaia deer the elves brought in.

With golden sparkling horns, Kerunaia is not as big as a herring, but it is also powerful.

The elves have such a keruna as a horseman.

With the deer’s legs, you can move quickly through the forest.

And Kellunaia’s horns are golden and very stiff.

Elves use these corners to make a variety of tools such as swords and arrows.

Oreola’s bow elf (Oreado) armor was probably made from the horns of the deer of Kellunaia.

It seems that they arrived here in a few days in the car with the deer in the chernnaire.

It is quite a distance from the Elf Land at the foot of Mount Ellios. Normally, it doesn’t arrive in a few days.

With that in mind, I want a deer from Kellunaia.

Still, it seems like it was hard to get here. The monsters, too, said the deer were particularly annoying.

Kellunaia’s deer cars were unusual, and it seemed difficult to get rid of them, as many people stopped by when they entered the country.

When I entered this country, I magically pushed people along the way.

But it seems easy to go home. Lucien seems to be quite a magical user and has made her way back to the woods.

He will be running in his home forest by now.

“What the hell are you doing here? When you think I’m here, you’re leaving right away?

“What’s the truth?

Kyoka and Shirone also tilted their necks.

By the way, Kyoka barely talks to the elves.

Well, considering the character of the Elf Princess, I know it won’t make sense, so I’m glad I didn’t have to.

Luckily Kyoka was out with Kaya.

The Princess of the Elves is definitely looking down at humans, especially women.

She felt that Reiji, a beauty figure, looked down on us as a female team.

If you’re going to fight, you’re going to have to be bad at dealing with someone of that character.

That’s why Kyoka couldn’t help it.

However, it was hard for Shirone to do so.

There was Sahoko, but I had to give instructions for dinner, so I couldn’t take care of him.

I am sad.

“But it was helpful of you to come home early. It seemed difficult to think about a meal menu.”

Kaya nods when everyone says so.

Because the elves don’t like meat, there is a limit to what they can serve.

The fish sauce we preferred could not be used, and the seasoning was almost salt and fruit oil.

Also, the menu is limited to vegetables, so I appreciate you coming home early.

“What, are we all here?

Rage and Sahoko enter the room when we talk like that.

Reggie was out with Sahoko because she had business.

Looks like we’re done here.

And then they tried to sit down.

“Sahoko! Sahoko-sama is back!

Suddenly, the door is knocked.

Someone comes in when I tell them to.

The maid who served the palace came in.

I think it was Nelia.

And he was supposed to be working with Raj and Sahoko’s daughter, Shanako.

I’m kind of in a hurry. What’s the matter with you?

“What’s wrong? Calm down. What do you want from me?

Sahoko calms the maid.

“Oh, my God! Sana ‘a! Sana ‘a-sama won’t stop crying!

Nelia says in a hurry.

Shanako is often called Sana ‘a in this world style.

That’s why we call it Sana ‘a.

“What happened to Sana? What do you mean you won’t stop crying? Kouki, what’s wrong with you?

Sahoko inquires about Nelia.

Sahoko said Kouki-kun was a boy who was kept in the temple of Lena on the grounds of the palace.

I don’t know how it was deposited.

I’ve never met her, but she seems pretty.

Doesn’t Reiji have any particular interest? He only thinks about bats like babysitters, and he hasn’t met them.

The bat somehow caught on to Sana ‘a.

With him, Sana is in a good mood and won’t cry.

For this reason, Sahoko leaves Sana ‘a to Kouki when she has business.

“He is beside Sana ‘a. But I don’t stop crying. And they cry differently than usual.”

Nelia doesn’t seem to know what to do.

It seems that such a thing has never happened before.

We face each other.

You should go and see how it goes. That’s why we’re all going to the Temple of Lena.

The Temple of Lena is a small building on the grounds of the palace.

I don’t want to put in as many religious forces as possible, but I can’t get rid of them all.

I don’t intend to be hostile in the first place.

You don’t care about the Lena Order, you just sent a priest.

And the priest hired some servants, and one of them was like a cuckoo.

When you enter the temple, a woman greets you. It’s the priest Haurena.

I feel like I’m in a hurry.

“Oh, the Virgin! We’ve been expecting you! Please, please! Mr. Kouki! Help Kouki-san!

When I confirmed that Sahoko had arrived, Haurena climbed to Sahoko.

We’ll meet again there.

Isn’t it Sana ‘a who’s in trouble?

Hourena will guide you when you enter the temple.

When I entered a room, there were boys and babies lying side by side on the bedding, and the maids were halfway around.

The baby is Sana Na. She is crying so much.

“What’s wrong? Why are you crying?

Rage picks up the nearby sarna.

Then Sana stopped crying a little.

Apparently, it’s just normal to cry.

Hmm?

Reggie makes a suspicious voice.

The eyes are directed at the boy next to Sana ‘a.

We’re getting closer.

The boy next door is sleeping soundly. It’s a beauty.

I wonder if this child is a candy.

Kouki stayed asleep as Sana cried. You must be pretty tired.

Look closely at the boy’s face.

“What? This kid….”

And then I realize something terrible.

“Dear Chiyuki, Kouki-san won’t wake up… Normally, Sana-sama would wake up crying… Normally, this shouldn’t have happened….”

Haulena shouted in trouble.

It seems to Haulena that the bat is not just a working child.

Kouki is in a hurry because of the trouble.

However, since the maids on the side are our servants, the only ones worried are Sana ‘a.

Nelia, who came with me, is worried only about Sana ‘a.

But it’s not Sana ‘a that’s in trouble. It’s the next bat.

Apparently, it wasn’t Sana’s fault, it was her neighbor.

Everyone nods when Reno says so.

“That’s why Sana cries.”

Sahoko murmured after receiving Sara from Reiji.

“This can’t happen….”

Nao is right, there can’t be a bat.

“Who did this to you?

“Lady, they’re the only ones who do this.”

Kyoka and Kaya said that Haurena looked strange.

“What do you mean? What’s going on with Mr. Kouki?

Looks like he doesn’t look like Hourena.

“Look at that. Priest Hourena.”

I put my hand on the candle’s forehead.

Then the body of the bat turns into a board cut.

“Eh!? What do you mean!? What is this!? Kouki-san cut the board!?

Haurena and the maid shouted in surprise.

“No, it’s not. The board cut became a bat. [M] Kouki-kun wasn’t here from the beginning.”

I’ll explain.

There was no bat.

That’s why Sana didn’t stop crying.

“Mr. Chiyuki. Is this… no way?

“Yes, that’s right, Mr. Shirone, this is….”

Nod to Shirone and breathe and keep talking.

“Replacer.”
