I, the Sacrifice, Somehow Killed the Evil God - CH 85
Elt: “That’s great. We’ve made it back to Erivan in just half a day.”
I ordered Ex to move the castle, and when I saw the castle town of Erivan on the screen, I shouted out in excitement.
Alice: “This device alone is enough to turn the world upside down. Elt you’re going to get a lot of attention.”
Alice told me, breaking into a cold sweat.
On the way, she acted as if she was worried about my safety and told me about the possible movements of the countries…
Elt: “If it comes to that, I’ll run.”
I had been depressed by the weight of its contents, but it was blown away thanks to the Sky Castle’s ride.
Serena: “I hardly felt a tremor even though we were moving.”
Ex: “That’s because we have a perfect shield deployed and gravity control.”
Ex replied to Serena’s murmur.
Alicia: “Look, Elt. The castle town is so small. The view from up here is amazing.”
Alicia tugs on my arm and turns her gaze to one of the images.
In this Sky Castle, there are image projection crystals everywhere, and the images projected by the crystals can be seen in this room.
Ex: “I can zoom in on the image, shall I?”
Elt: “Yeah, go ahead.”
I nodded at Ex’s suggestion, and one of the images on the screen was enlarged.
The image of the royal capital of Erivan shows a castle, and the image of the castle shows a room.
On the screen, there is a mature man in a high costume, looking at us with a surprised face.
Elt: “Amazing. We can spy on every country we want with this.”
Alice: “But, don’t you think they’ll know when we approach?”
I grumbled at Alice’s words. The crystals were showing the city, and without exception, the inhabitants were pointing at us with their open mouths.
Alicia: “You can be proud to have ridden in the Sky Castle.”
Next to me, Alicia was muttering happily.
Alice: “But Elt-kun. This is not a good situation for you.”
I nodded my head at Alice’s words.
Alice: “For the Erivan Kingdom, an unidentified object has suddenly appeared over their territory. Worst case scenario, they might attack us.”
Alice is certainly right. If it were the other way around, I’d be worried.
Elt: “Marie, are you there?”
Marie: “Yes.”
I call out and Marie appears.
Elt: “Tell the Prime Minister we’re back and that the castle is safe.”
Marie: “All right. I’m going.”
Marie nodded and flew to Erivan Castle.
Elt: “Ex, can we get down this castle?”
We can’t stay afloat forever. I asked her if we could get down to the ground.
Ex: “No problem. May I go down now?”
When I looked down, I could see a street and a few other houses scattered here and there.
Elt: “No, you should go down to the nearby plains.”
I decided that it would be better to go to an empty place, even if it was a bit far from the royal castle.
Ex: “Yes. We’ll land.”
Serena: “Kyaa!”
Serena’s scream could be heard.
The swaying started with Ex’s words. Apparently, it shakes when it moves up and down.
After a while, we descended to the plains.
A few hours after we descended, the King of Erivan and the Prime Minister appeared.
I asked Marie to give them a message, and they replied “We’ll be on our way.”
In addition to the knights, there were various other people standing behind the two of them, perhaps onlookers.
“Well, it looks like you’re back early.”
Elt: “Yes, it’s all thanks to this castle.”
The original plan was to return in two weeks, but the speed of the Sky Castle was so great that we were able to get back in no time at all.
Elt: “More importantly, do you mind if I leave this here for a while?”
I looked at the Sky Castle that was floating slightly above the plains.
As for entry and exit, you can go on the transfer magic circle directly back to the control room.
In order to enter the castle, you need to have an entry pass issued by Ex. Without this pass, you cannot enter the control room even if you go on the transfer magic circle.
I can assure you that there is no danger of intrusion because there is a barrier above that can only be destroyed by an Evil Beam.
Since security is guaranteed, I’d like to keep it here. The Prime Minister’s reply was…
Prime Minister: “Well, that’s fine, but…”
The Prime Minister replies with sweat pouring down his forehead. I have Marie explain to him what this is all about.
King Erivan: “But first, Elt. I would like to confirm one thing….”
When the Erivan King says this, Bishop Hugo comes forward with the Orb of Truth.
His forehead was sweating profusely and his cheeks were thin. He doesn’t look too well, so if he’s sick, he needs to rest.
Elt: “You can ask me anything.”
I nodded and King Erivan asked me a question with a stern look on his face.
King Erivan: “What is that?”
He pointed to the Sky Castle. The people around were watching bated breath. I nodded once and looked around to make sure everyone here could hear me.
Elt: “This is ‘Sky Castle’, a lost magic device.”
「「「「「Wh!!!!」」」」」
Bishop Hugo: “….i….t’s….true…”
In the midst of everyone’s astonishment, Bishop Hugo’s thin, exhausted voice was carried away by the wind.
