Ankoku Kishi Monogatari ~Yuusha wo Taosu Tameni Maou ni Shoukansaremashita~ - 175 Kutal Prison

◆ Dark Knight Croki

Kutal’s palace lies beneath Mount Ellios, the tallest in the world.

Originally said to be the underground palace of Nargor, the god of destruction, it is now under the control of the gods of Ellios.

There are prisons on the three levels of this palace, where those who defy the gods of Ellios are trapped.

Others are not nearly to the death penalty, while others are difficult to kill.

Many of the latter were gods under Nargor, the god of destruction.

And among them, especially vicious gods are Wesen Felion.

It seems that Felion, also known as the bloody mad god, has no reason but to destroy.

It is said that the power would take a lot of lives if it were released.

So the gods of Ellios sealed the ferrion with a mighty magical commandment called Grapenir.

However, there are times when this grapenil relieves its commandments only once every seven years.

At that time, it seems that Felion’s roar can be heard on the ground.

Me and Kuna descend from the upper Vernd and head towards the giant gate, the entrance to the palace of Kutal.

The only reason we don’t get inside is because the palace is filled with darkness, so the weak die just by entering.

If I have the darkest attributes, I feel like I’ll be fine, but I’m careful not to go inside.

In front of the gate is a dwarf settlement that runs this prison.

The dwarves are guards, using their own golems to manage the prison.

The golem is not only for work, but also for defense. We are watching the people inside to keep them from coming out of the ground.

In addition, a large number of golems are placed at the prison gates so that anyone who comes to the prison is safe.

Stone Golems, Iron Golems, and Orihal Congolese Golems have self-regenerating abilities.

In addition to the Golem, there are also many metallic life forms with burning blood.

The Talos Warriors are the most powerful Dwarves have.

It can be seen from the large number of positions that the defense of this prison is also important.

In addition, they build walls in front of the gates and prepare for raiders from outside.

From the outside, it looked more like a castle than a settlement.

And now there is a small banquet in the dwarf settlement.

The reason is for my welcome.

In the heart of the settlement, dwarves flourish in circles.

In front of him is a Fawn boy whistling as he dances.

The light tone entertains the listeners, and the ones who are touched by the tone jump out.

Fawn is a species that inhabits this tree sea, with deer on both feet and deer horns growing from his head.

It is elegant, unlike goblins and orcs, and has no antagonistic relationship with humans or elves.

In the first place, the gods of Ellios did not seek to destroy all the family of Nargor, and some of them recognized their existence, as did fairies and mermaids.

Fawn is also one of those species, whistling in front of his eyes. He seems to be in and out of the dwarf every now and then.

The dwarves are singing to the whistle.

Sounds like a lot of fun.

Maybe welcoming yourself is in front of the building, and they just wanted to drink it.

“What do you think? Croki? Does it look good?

Coona with cat ear accessories is getting sweet.

It was vicious cuteness.

Restrict yourself from wanting to be so peculiar.

The dwarves have eyes, so you have to bear with them.

So, just stroke your head.

“Yeah, it’s so cute, Kuna.”

Kuna feels happy when she strokes her head.

The reason why Kuna has cat ears is because there are many cats in the dwarves’ wives who live here.

As a result, it became popular for non-cat wives to wear cat ears, and Kuna also had cat ears.

The Cat Man is a former Gypsies and a family of the Lion Queen Sekhmet Tra and the Cat Princess Nelfitti.

And Haybos God, the god of dwarfs, is the husband of Sekhmetra, and Nelfiti is the daughter of both.

Because of the gods they believe in, cats can’t resist marrying bad looking dwarves.

Catmen are helping dwarfs who struggle to find their partners.

Fawn and the cat dancer are also dancing.

The gypsy dance is similar to the berry dance and is one of the oldest dances in the world.

I’d like to take a closer look, but I need to stop because I have Kuna.

“Knight Hall. Have you been drinking?

A dwarf comes here with a bottle of wine.

His name is Aberon.

Haybos is the Dwarf who has been tasked by God to lead the Dwarves on earth.

For this reason, both large dwarves and dwarfs are also called dwarf floods.

He is also the head of the dwarfs of the prison in Qutar and the leader of the dwarfs of the northwestern Kauf.

“Yes, Lord Arbelon. Thank you for having a banquet.”

That’s how Arberon pours wine out of the bottle when he serves the cup.

What is poured is not barley liquor (ale) but fruit liquor.

Everything seems to have been bred in Alsaidia, the country of the elves.

Dwarves, the skilled people, are somehow bad at making groceries. As a result, most food is imported from outside.

Most of it came from nearby, or from the Elf Land of Alsaidia.

I want to go and see Elf Country because I am a little concerned, but it will be a little difficult for me as a Nargolian.

Drink poured alcohol.

I don’t usually drink it. However, it is difficult to refuse a friendly drink.

For example, those who refuse horse milk and alcohol, as recommended by the Centaurs, may be considered enemies.

That’s why I only drink it at the beginning.

There is no clear age at which to drink alcohol in this world.

That’s why I started drinking much earlier than in Japan. I have no choice but to drink it because I can’t get drinking water, but it will still be early overall.

Recently, I try to drink alcohol if I have no choice.

However, drinking alcohol certainly reduces your combat power, so you should not drink as much as possible.

There seems to be some magic to disable alcohol, but I can’t use it if I can’t drink it normally.

I will refuse to drink as much as possible next time.

“It’s a little sweet and easy to drink.”

That said, Aaron smiles bitterly.

“Sure, it’s easy to drink, but there’s nothing for our dwarves. I would like it to be more painful if possible, but this is all the alcohol that the elves make. There’s something weird going on in the woods, so people don’t make liquor. I drank out of spicy liquor the other day. I’m sorry about the Dark Knight.”

“No, don’t worry about it. I’m just glad you’re having a banquet.”

I really think so. I’m sorry, but I don’t know the taste of alcohol.

Elves drink sweet liquor, and dwarfs like spicy liquor.

Spicy liquor is imported from a human country, but Dahaq and the others are attacking the forest, making it difficult to import it. That’s why they’re importing liquor from nearby elf countries, but they don’t seem to like dwarfs.

It doesn’t matter to me, but it seems to be a problem for alcoholic dwarves.

“By the way, Lord Arbelon. How are the elves doing? I hear they’re defending the ground in the woods?

Strong enemies such as Dahaq will be fought by Alphonse and angels.

But the soldiers they’re bringing in are supposed to be with the Elves, the forest keepers.

What’s going on?

“I don’t know. The elves won’t tell us.”

Aberon exhales.

I hear Elves and Dwarves are both family members of the gods of Ellios, but they are not close.

There’s been an exchange, but it doesn’t seem to be exchanging the necessary information at all.

“Lord Arberon. The prince of the snake is also coming out this time. Shouldn’t we just see what the elves are up to? Of course, depending on the other person’s situation, they may not tell me….”

That’s what Arbelon thinks.

“I do care. But will you tell me honestly? Hmm, well, here’s how it looks. Soon, our messenger will go to Alsaidia to get food. Let’s see what happens then.”

Aaron nodded well.

Well, that’s the only way. But I don’t think we’ll get much information.

I would like to follow the messengers, but stand out when I am in the dwarf. I can’t do anything like that as long as I’m hiding who I am.

But I’m a little worried about Dahaq’s movements. Can you do something about the elves?

With that in mind, Kuna next door pulls her sleeve.

“What’s wrong? Kuna?”

“Hey, Croki. Could Kuna see what’s going on in Elf Country, please? Kuna will know exactly what the elves are doing.”

“What? But if there’s a Kuna amongst the messengers…”

Kuna is a beautiful girl. It will stand out.

There may be someone who knows Kuna’s face.

And even if they change their appearance with magic, the elves are good at breaking through such magic.

The magic of Kuna is strong, but I don’t like the magic of the transformation system.

It could be seen.

“Maybe it’ll be okay. Hey, aren’t there any cats and daughters among those messengers? Don’t you have a cat girl who hides her hair and looks like a cat? If you’re here, you can hide your hair and disguise yourself. And then, come closer and release the butterfly.”

When Kuna says so, a glowing butterfly appears around her.

It’s the butterfly of Kuna’s dream.

We can’t fly infinite distances, but if we’re close, we can break in beyond dimension.

Its ability to detect is high, and it brings a lot of information to those who use it.

You will certainly know more than you go.

“Yes, ma’am, they are better at food than our dwarfs, so they always follow me.”

Kuna nods at Aberon’s words.

Well then, it’s settled. You should be able to hide behind and stay out of sight. So, Croki. Kuna’s coming. ”

“Thank you, Kuna. But is that okay?

“If it helps Croki, it’s Kuna’s pleasure. Besides, there’s no danger if you’re dealing with an elf. No big deal.”

So Kuna rides on her lap and leaves her head in her chest.

Certainly Kuna is stronger than Elf. Even if Alphonse finds out, he won’t hurt Kuna. There won’t be much danger to Kuna.

“Yes, I think it’s probably okay. Still, be careful. Kuna”

“Oh, leave it to me, Croki.”

That said, Kuna laughed.
