570 Episode 0570



At night, more than ten tents were set up in a section of the Celemus plain.
 There are three horse-drawn carts in the center of the tent, and a knight guarding the tent. Then there was Seto's appearance, trying to join the knights of such bodyguards.
 But as usual, Seto is on guard lying on the ground beside the magic tent where Ray is resting.
 Already there were remnants of some skeletons and supposed zombies underneath.
 Not long after the sun had set, the undead, mainly of skeletons and zombies, had made their way to this camp.

"Grull".

 Seto, lying down, grunts uncomfortably at a piece of zombie meat lying a little further away.
 If Skeleton were the only enemy, it would have been better.
 No, for Seto's part, it's no better than a zombie. If I were going to deal with a zombie, I was filled with the feeling that it would still be better to deal with 30 skeletons.
 The cause of this is the odor of zombies floating around.
 Even in the labyrinthine city of Egjir, when dealing with undead people, they suffered from a strong odor, but it was unexpected that they would have to smell it here as well, too.
 Still, it must have been better to fight in the plain, not in the stinky dungeon.
 Feeling the rotting odor abated by the wind, Seto senses the approaching signs and footsteps.
 He opens his closed eyes for a moment, but he notices the footsteps and signs of them coming towards him from the camp, and releases his guard.
 It's not undead, it's because I sensed a decent person.
 And, as expected, it was one of the knights escorting him who emerged from the darkness.

"Sett, there must have been something wrong here...."
"Glu".

 a set in reply to a knight's words
 Ray's resting tent was outside the camp.
 This is not because Ray is disliked or otherwise, but because Ray himself advised Dusker that Sett should be in charge of night watch.
 As Dusker knew so much about how much Sett was, he had to accept Ray'd accept Ray's offer.
 The Knight Guard, who had just come to Gilm and been hired, suggested that Ray's magic tent be placed right next to the dusker and that only the set be on the outside of the camp be on guard, but it was rejected by close unanimity.
 What Seto wants to protect most is Ray, his favorite partner.
 Of course, there are other people who like it, but it's still only after Ray.
 Thus the new knight's opinion was rejected, and it was eventually settled that Ray's magic tent would be set up outside the camp and that Seto would be on the lookout for Ray's bodyguard.
 Ray is employed as a bodyguard for the time being, but this is only ostensible, and the knights understand it, so no one complains about sleeping without keeping watch.
 No, those who know the comfort of magic tents are envious.

"I'm sorry to burden you all," Here, eat this, too."

 The knight throws his dried meat at Seto, who turns round eyes on him.

"Gruly!"

 Take it happily with your mouth and put it in your mouth.
 The sight of him gurgling and tasting the dried meat did not seem to be on the alert of the people around him.
 I've been a knight for quite some time since I met Seth... more precisely Ray, but I can't help but wonder if it's okay to look at Seth now.
 However, it is safe to say that the direction of the concern is not 'Is it OK to let him watch?' but 'I don't want to get hurt if Seto is careless,' and that he is poisoned more than enough.
 But... that's how he came to see -- or to see him and be healed -- Cet, who was groping at the dried meat before the knight's eyes, stopped his movement.
 Their eyes, which can normally be described as round eyes, are directed out of the camp, which is sharply moonlit.

"Roll-rolling.

 Sink your body for a moment and use the reaction to jump. Wings spread in the air with a sharp cry, and the falling point is corrected, while flapping the wings to increase the falling speed.
 It was the forefoot that was shaken down with the cry.
 Seto's own weight and muscle strength The blow, combined with the speed of the fall, hits Skelton's head as it approaches under the influence of the wind and shakes it down unabated, crushing it from his spine, ribs, hip joints, and the edge of the hit.
 At one blow, he destroys Skelton, who was heading to the camp, cries contently, and returns to the place where he had been lying.
 ...but collecting magical stones even though they have already been absorbed is probably because they have been watching Ray's actions carefully.
 Putting the magic stone that had been gnawing in the kuchibashi next to me lying down, I looked at the knight again with round eyes.

"Glu?"
"Hahaha. I don't think I had to come and see."

 Seth looked towards the magical stone, and found nearly ten magical stones there.
 There is no doubt that they are all undead magical stones that Sett has knocked down.

"And yet you're quite a set," Don't you have to worry about this direction?"
"Grull!"

 Leaving it to him, the knight reached out with a smile and patted his head.
 for a few minutes
 If a party leader had seen this scene, he would probably have been... or definitely jealous.
 After a few minutes of such a scene, she gently releases her hand from Seto's head.

"Well, I'll be back soon," Take care, too, Seto."
"Gruly!"

 He answers the words with a groan, and sees the knight away.
 and when the knight had disappeared into the camp, he closed his eyes again and had the five senses... especially with the best of his hearing, he sensed and intercepted the undead.





 The next day, after a good night's sleep in a soft bed in a magic tent, Ray came out and saw it for the first time, naturally lying on the grass.
 It was as expected, but the problem was the magical stone that was building a small pile on the side of the set.
 In numbers, I wonder if there's twenty... or thirty?
 There was a small pile of magical stones piled up beside Seto.
 Then, there is a faint odor that is not appropriate for the morning.

"Grull!"

 Ray also smiles and greets Seto, who cries out good morning.

"Oh, good morning," I'm glad you kept watch. Is this all the Mystery of the Undead?"
"Glu".

 A set of people nodding to Ray's question and looking at what could be described as remnants of the camp.
 The bone fragments will belong to Skeleton. Is it a piece of zombie meat that is half-melting or causing the odor to rot?

"I'm sorry, Set. I'm saved... No, wait."

 Whispering that much, he nods his head and looks at the magic tent he just came out of which he had just come out.
 Yes, a magic tent that would normally have the ability to keep low-level monsters away...

(What's going on? The bloody blade was too wide.) But this time it's not that many people, and the camp is small. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
"Grull?"

 Seto calls out to Ray, who is suddenly silent, "What's the matter?"
 Rejecting nothing, Ray puts the magic tent in a misty ring and heads to Dusker with Seto.





"Good morning, Mr. Dusker,"
"Huh? Oh, Ray. I was saved last night thanks to Seto. If you have Ray's magic tent, you don't have to be on guard because of Seto. The knights have been replaced with ease."

 Dusker, who opens his mouth like that, doesn't seem to be in the least bit of pain even though it's still morning. No, it's fair to say that you're full of energy.Next to such a Dusker, three axes of the thunder god Elk, Minn and Rodos. and Vichela and Theorem's Vestia Empire had been discussing the matter since they entered the empire.

"No, I'm glad you don't seem to waste much. ...and I have a question about magic tents. I think one of the effects of that magic tent was that it kept weak monsters away, but it didn't seem to work last night. Do you know why?"

 When asked what Dasker was saying out of Ray's mouth, he opened his mouth with a mysterious expression.

"It's probably a unique effect of this place called the Celemus Plain." and under normal circumstances, the Skeleton and Zombies will never come near."
"Seremuth plain?"
"Yes, as I've said many times, the Celemus Plain has been the scene of war many times. As a result, a strong grudge has become ingrained. That's probably the reason."
"... I see,"

 In Dusker's words, Ray wondered, "Isn't that a problem before settlement?" But there are some wizard adventurers who can use sacred magic, which is good at purifying the undead.
 That's a mixed idea... Ray's honest opinion is that it's going to be difficult to doom and gloom.

"In the first place, if your magic tent works to ward off monsters, you're supposed to focus on your tent, aren't you?"

 Dusker's words were certainly nodding.
 Ray thought that most of them, including other tents, would be safe from monsters even if they were outside the camp, knowing the magic tent's effect of keeping the monsters at bay.

"Well, the Celemus Plain... seems to be a lot more troublesome than I expected."
"I don't deny it," ... well, more than that's all. ask for breakfast It's about time I finished my meal and left."

 Hearing of Ray's meal, everyone watching them communicate on the spot smiles happily.
 Being able to eat fresh food in places like this because they have an item box was definitely a boost to the morale of the party.

"Well, then... for breakfast, shall we have a light meal?"

 What I muttered out was a large basketful of sandwiches.
 However, the ingredients are very common: vegetables and ham.
 But the bread is fresh and the vegetables are fresh.
 It wasn't something you could eat in this kind of place.
 Take out the bacon, nuts, and mushroom soup, and share the hot ones with the soup plates.
 Moreover, only Seto's dishes were lightly seasoned and grilled meat.
 ...and some of the knights, and Elk, who saw it, turned envious eyes on Sett, and began his breakfast quietly, without pretending to deprive him of his food.

"But how long does it take to get through the Celemus Plain?"

 Vihela swallows the soup and opens her mouth to Ray as he carries the sandwich to his mouth.

"It was about noon the day after tomorrow, considering yesterday's speed."
"That's true," If you don't waste your time being attacked by monsters, that's about it. It's a horse-drawn carriage, let alone a horse-drawn carriage."

 With a sandwich in hand, Theoreum nods, and others who have heard the story agree.
 Ray, convinced by the explanation, suddenly starts to talk about the future.

"Then you're going to break up just before that?"

 It would be unsavory to act together, given that Ray's aim was to attract the attention of the upper-ranking members of the Vestian Empire and to help rescue the detained third prince. When Vichela answers the question with a hint of sadness in her eyes.

"That's the case," But Ray and Larkus' party will stand out, so it's not difficult for me to contact you when something happens. I heard from you...

 Vihela glances at Dusker, who is eating sandwiches while listening, nods that there is no problem.

"As I told you last night, I said. No problem."

 I told him so.
