A Party of Warriors Raped by Hypnosis 116

Chapter 116 – Episode 116. This Will Be Necessary Too.

-Verdia, is the contact going well?

“… Yes it sounds good

The night before.

After Verdia entered a secret place prepared by her kingdom, she had time to talk to Archen, her master there.

A place equipped with troops to protect the outside in an airtight closed room.

It was a perfectly soundproofed room, but even in such a place, there were means to communicate with the outside world.

The crystal ball in Verdia’s hand.

Recently, this crystal ball, which came out of the process of active research in the Mage Tower, allows the user to freely communicate with distant objects just by infusing mana into it.

-Huh, I was worried because it was a prototype, but I’m glad that I can get in touch with you. If this is the case, there will be no need to visit the palace one by one or exchange secret letters from now on.

“Since it’s a technology that got its idea from the power of demons, there is a risk of eavesdropping, so you won’t be able to use it often.”

-So you should use it for as long as you can before they notice. Can we get to the point soon?

Verdia looked at the entrance for a while at the words of Archen. Seeing that no one seemed to be entering, she adjusted the light of her lantern and raised her hand to her ear to listen to her crystal ball’s report.

-Then the first thing I’ll tell you is…

Since then, what has been handed down to her is about the support she needs to lead the hero’s party and her future plans.

However, all of this was built on the premise that the hero was alive and well, so there was nothing that could be done properly.

As for the condition of the hero, the king also heard about it. As such, future reports will have to be delivered with more care.

-And finally, I investigated the mansion that was attacked at the time… As a result, it is judged that Garbonya, Queen of Dreams, has completely disappeared.

“… Is it really?”

-Okay. After capturing and interrogating the succubus in the mansion at the time, it’s certain. Everyone felt their leader annihilated and trembled in fear.

No matter how deceitful they may be, they can only have them because they have a strong backside.

For them, who depended heavily on their leader, Garbonya’s disappearance would have been taken as a shock.

“It is fortunate. Garbonya was particularly unpredictable because she was more prone to unpredictable behavior than her other executives.

-Even the attack on the World Tree happened without notice. However, even if you have dealt with such a disturbing element, it is not easy to disclose it officially. If it is publicized extensively, the state of the warrior should be revealed naturally.

“Yes, I think it’s good to cover up about this too.”

It was all the more so because Celica’s condition was more serious than what was reported through the report.

To think that the efforts made so far have become colorless and mentally regressed.

Even with divine power, it was not possible to heal, so it was necessary to consider entrusting oneself to the church to receive professional treatment.

‘If you still don’t recover… What should I do?’

Yes, this happened because she was suffering from the aftereffects of what the Queen of Dreams had done.

So, the worst situation should always be assumed, but the problem is that no suitable solution can come to mind.

As one of the 10 strongest warriors on the continent and a warrior god, if she doesn’t even show signs of being able to heal herself, it’s safe to say that there are very few people who can heal her within the human forces.

-Yes, it would be better to cover up. Especially since it’s not just the dream horse or the warrior’s party that got involved in this situation.

Then, Arhen’s complaint continues quietly.

Verdia felt suspicious and asked him straight away.

“It’s not just a dream horse and a warrior’s party, what do you mean by that?”

-Do you know about the Anti-Human Alliance?

“… Yes, it’s confidential, so it’s not widely known.”

– It was before I was even born. In the battle for supremacy over the succession of the Argentinian family, my father won, and my uncle, who was defeated, was expelled from the royal family and turned into a rebel.

Yes, the human forces that degenerated into the demon army were born that way.

Due to a rebellion initiated by the father of the current king of Argentina, who usurped the position of his uncle, who should have inherited the throne.

-In my personal opinion, I thought it would be better for my uncle to ascend the throne than my father.

“Your Highness, those words…”

– I’m saying this because it’s in front of you. It’s something I learned after I took over, but this country is in a state of many problems in various parts. When I think of what my father did after he succeeded to the throne… The blood that flows through my body is cursed.

To the point where I thought it might have been more serious if I hadn’t passed on the throne quickly and left due to a chronic illness.

Verdia was unable to say anything in the end at the voice that felt a lot of skepticism and fatigue toward him.

“Let’s keep talking.”

All he could do was considerately avoiding topics that his lord might be sensitive to.

“In short, are you saying that traces of rebels who turned to the demon king army were found in that mansion to deny the current Archen royal family?”

-It’s just as you said, Verdia, but I think it’s unreasonable to see each other as friendly. The body disappeared, but as a result of examining the traces, traces of friction between the Anti-Human Alliance and the Dream Demons were found.

“Friction… Are you saying that a civil war broke out even though we were the same Demon King’s army?”

– Well, there’s nothing strange about it now. As Garbonya’s tendency is his tendency, he will use a lot of enemies.

Anyway, that’s how the fight over the world tree took place. It wouldn’t be strange if they were allies until halfway, but Garbonya ran out of control and started a fight.

– But isn’t it strange? Not only the dream demons, but also the Anti-Human Alliance that is hostile to mankind… What was the reason that he, a mere porter, was able to survive in a disaster to the extent that the people in the mansion were massacred?

“A porter?”

“That porter that the hero brought.”

Dave.

The moment his existence was directly mentioned by the master, Verdia’s mouth began to stiffen.

“… Majesty.”

– Verdia. I have complete trust in you, but that trust is only in you, and cannot extend to the people you trust.

Despite Verdia’s call, he just calmly continued his words.

A king who leads everyone is what he should be.

-I investigated the origin of the person the hero brought, but nothing came out about him.

“… Not at all, you mean?”

-Yes, nothing came out at all. It’s so clean that it’s questionable. No matter how many people come from rural villages out of reach of the kingdom, there are only a handful of people with this much information…

That was something Verdia also had in mind to some extent.

In fact, from her first meeting, she suspected him of such uncertainty, and even did such a thing in front of him.

– Maybe, maybe…

Say ‘Your Highness’.

Verdia, who reflexively covered her mouth that was about to spit out, even listened to Archen’s words.

-Isn’t there a possibility that he might be an important figure in the Anti-Human Alliance? If they are good at concealment and manipulation, hiding a single person’s personal information wouldn’t be a job.

“…”

-… You don’t seem to think it’s too far-fetched.

It has to be.

If the king said this, I, as a servant, would have no choice but to agree.

-When you faced such a man, you probably thought like this. No matter how much he took responsibility for his absence, if he came from an unknown background, he could not go on a further journey together.

Yes, the warrior party is a group that will lead mankind.

If you notice any scratches in your party, you should avoid bringing them in.

In the case of Heira, one of the racial characteristics of the elves, ‘because there is no impatience, there is little to tell lies’, so there is room for observation, but Dave cannot even show such consideration until his origin is directly revealed. .

– But I think differently. If… In the unlikely event that he really approached the hero party as a spy dispatched from the Anti-Human Alliance, it would be a shame to leave it like this.

“That… Are you saying we have to be restrained to dig up information?”

Gain the trust of the hero and the archmage.

Even more so, he brought an elven archer to replace Melia, and he who has fully assisted the party so far?

-I didn’t say that much.

However, when it came to a topic about him, there was no hostility to be felt in Archen’s voice.

-Although his origin is unclear, without him, this tool that we use to talk today wouldn’t have been made.

As he said, being able to communicate with him in this place where you can only come from the royal capital by riding a horse for a few days can be said to be thanks to his completion of Ymir’s research.

The development of magic and military strategies of the future human forces have greatly increased, but how can we regard his existence as a disquieting element?

-Yes, he is none other than the one who completed the great wizard’s research and received her great favor from her? I don’t know what his intentions are, but he might be trying to help us.

In fact, there are several examples of direct or indirect help from the Demon King’s side to use the warrior party, even historically.

Just rejecting them because of their different powers would not be a good choice in terms of preparing for the tough fight that will follow.

-Even more so, if the forces he might have belonged to had pretended to be Garbonya… Rather, isn’t it something that might feel a deep sense of betrayal to the demon king?

“Feeling betrayed…”

-Of course, in the current situation, whatever you say will be a guess, but wouldn’t it be worth approaching?

Where was he from, and if he really belonged to the Anti-Human Alliance, what was his intention in approaching and helping the warrior party?

And in the midst of friction between Garbonya and the Anti-Human Alliance, what are their thoughts on the demon army, and how will it come out later?

Putting it all together, Archen decided that Dave was worth the adventure.

The direct conflict with the demon lord’s army in the future won’t be something that can be achieved by just pursuing that level of passability.

-Verdia, now that this has happened, why don’t you take a look at him?

And all of that was based on his trust in his beloved servant.

“I’m floating, am I?”

-Yes, you induce him to catch his guard and find out his true intentions.

Archen was judging that Verdia was the right person for the role.

If she is the continent’s 10 strongest, she will be able to deal with whatever plans the opponent has.

***

‘Let’s float it, la.’

The next day after having such a conversation.

Verdia, preparing to go out with Dave, had time to face the mirror quietly in her room.

In order to induce Archen’s vigilance as ordered, and check the work necessary to open his mind.

‘… Yes, it will be necessary Something like this.’

Verdia, who placed her hands on her trimmed hair, began to lower them slowly as if burning her own hair.

Passing through his neck, stroking the black cloth wrapped around my body under it.

‘Maybe… That might happen.’

Feeling the touch of the lace sprouting everywhere, Verdia sat on her bed and began to imagine what would happen next.

For the first time in my life

About how a date with a man will lead alone.
