Chapter 296 – Confluence
The large mansion shrank in an instant and fell into Liliana’s hands. Then, with a fresh smile, she put the mansion into a subspace.
The place where the mansion used to be was left with only a bare site.
There is no one left at home.
It seemed like she was thinking of taking it, as it happens to be an empty house anyway, and it’s also Liliana who cherishes the mansion terribly.
“It’s amazing to see you again.”
Luna, who was standing next to me, said in admiration.
Surely.
Even if you’ve seen it before, there’s no doubt that it’s a strange sight. Others were clearly surprised by the sight.
Three wagons were parked on the bare mansion site.
Two more were added to the original wagon.
Even if the wagon originally used was expanded in space, it was not wide enough for everyone to ride.
They decided to prepare two more wagons and ride the elves and maids Ayla had brought.
‘They’ll…They’ll come after me on their own.’
Following Judith’s instructions, the paladins rode horses and took their seats next to the carriage.
The Paladins each had their own horses and decided to escort them.
The party got on the waiting carriage.
Upon entering the wagon, there were considerably more people sitting in their seats than expected.
Liliana and Flora, who weren’t there when I went to the labyrinth before.
Escort Knight Melissa.
And.
Little Princess Cristina and her two maids.
It can be said that one tiny little kid takes up three servings.
In such a situation, there was plenty of room for sitting, but a feeling that it was a little lacking for lying down.
Fortunately, it doesn’t go very far.
It was impossible to ride a wagon inside the labyrinth, and the distance traveled was to the labyrinth management office anyway, so it didn’t matter.
Little Christina stood out even in the carriage. Because she was wearing gold glittering armor and she was fully armed.
It was a gorgeous and pretty armor that looked far from combat.
It’s like armor with all kinds of advanced magic attached to it.
She boasted loudly of her enchantments, but she didn’t listen.
‘There would be no need to fight…’
Even so, the armament was first-class.
The taxes, like the blood of the people of the Kingdom of Barulas, were being spent on useless things.
I heard that it was brought here at the request of the king…
This is why those in power…
The future of Barulas Kingdom was dark.
I’m so glad I’m not a citizen of this country.
Christina’s expression brightened.
She also seemed a bit excited.
She looked like she thought she was going on a picnic.
“Unho, you really have a lot of women…But I’m generous. I have no intention of saying anything about taking concubines…But you shouldn’t neglect me.”
“…”
Ignoring was the answer.
Ayla, who was sitting next to her, whispered as she pinched my side.
(Unho, what is that human child talking about?)
(Ayla…You know that. Humans are a kind of people who lie like they eat food. You can ignore it.)
I let Ayla know about her little human wickedness. Fortunately, she was a bit shy, but seemed to understand.
When we were escorted by the paladins, we set off into the labyrinth with dignity.
And soon after starting, the carriage stopped.
“His Holiness, a wizard named Verna wants to see you.
Judith, escorting her outside, asked.
Verna?
It sounds like a name I’ve heard somewhere.
“If it’s Verna… Isn’t it the name of the owner of the Magic Tower of Percuna?”
Cristina pretends to know, and she interrupts.
“Ah…”
The little boy’s words bring back her forgotten memories.
It was the wizard I saw while returning from the old labyrinth.
I’m sure… Phe… He’s the archmage of some kind of Mage Tower… I remember hearing that story.
One thing I remember clearly is that she was a beautiful wizard with sky blue hair.
He even peeked at her well-shaven naked body in the shower while raising his body strengthening skill.
‘Huh, to think I forgot to work with such a beauty…’
She even gave me her contact information…
I made a big mistake.
Contacts should still be in your inventory.
When she got out of the carriage, she was just like her.
Verna’s face looked a little fat.
“Hmmmm…Yes, what’s going on?”
“What’s going on? Why haven’t you contacted me?”
A slightly sharp tone, as if questioning.
I understand.
She is a beauty
Beautiful women usually have high self-esteem.
But she bowed her pride and dashed at me.
I sent her signal…
I was ignoring her.
“…I was a little busy…I was going to contact you once this day was over…”
She lied
She seemed better to say this than to say she forgot.
“…You said you were busy…”
Verna narrows her eyes and gives her a suspicious look.
“Kuhmm…Yes…A bit busy.”
“I heard you’re going to the labyrinth?”
“Yes.”
“Can I join you too?”
“You?”
“You know? Even if I’m like this, I’m an 8th-circle archmage? It won’t be a burden.”
She didn’t care if she was a burden as long as she was as beautiful as hers.
As for luggage, the wagon was already loaded with a small but huge load called Christina.
Above all, she is a beauty.
Besides, she’s even a great mage.
She was a talented person.
It is already a subjugation party with a significant number of people on the move.
Adding one more here would not be too much of a burden.
I decided to join Verna.
“Thank you!”
She took Verna, a newcomer to the party, and got into the carriage.
When Verna gets into the carriage, she is startled to see the figures inside the carriage.
“Ho-oh… The disciple who left the house has returned.”
Seeing Verna, Liliana said something like that.
“Someone’s back! And I’m not your disciple anymore. Heh!”
Are you acquainted?
Listening to the story of the two, it seems that Verna was Liliana’s disciple.
She didn’t look very good.
“As expected, you were the Duke of Percuna. Did you also participate in the subjugation party? Sit over here.”
Seeing Verna’s face, Cristina greeted her by knocking on the seat next to her.
“Princess Cristina? Why are you here?”
“I also decided to join the subjugation team.”
“The king managed to allow it.”
“When I said that I was with Unho, they allowed me.”
Christina said with a proud expression.
“Even the king does some useless things…”
Verna, who was sitting next to the little boy, looked around at the people in the carriage and was startled.
From Ignis to Liliana…
And on the outside, even the paladin Judith.
Each and every one of them was the only human she could not ignore.
“Are you going to catch a demon king, not a warlock? And why are you taking Princess Cristina with you?”
“I see… Verna, I heard that you are a duke. Do you have any strength? You send the little boy back.”
“Is it me?”
Verna looked at her little boy in bewilderment at my complaint.
“You want to separate me? Hmm! Not even a thought!”
Cristina looked at me and said firmly.
Her will was firm.
It could be seen that the little boy acted as a gangster, using his age as a weapon and public opinion on his back.
In any case, another archmage joined us, and our party, whose strength was further strengthened, headed for the labyrinth.
Maybe because I heard the lord.
Or is it because of the Holy Knights?
Entering the labyrinth was almost like a free pass.
It was a unique composition with an overwhelming majority of beauties, but none approached the formidable spirit of the Holy Knights of Thera Church.
The plan to subdue the black magician was simple.
The subjugation was planned to start on the 10th floor of the labyrinth.
On the lower floors, there was little to no benefit to me.
It was on the 10th floor that I found the black magician before.
I was planning to subdue the black magician from the 10th floor down to the depths.
There’s a chance it’s on the lower floors, but…
That’s when I decided to go and think about it.
We instantly moved to the 10th floor of the labyrinth through the teleport magic circle.
When I came out of the Labyrinth Teleport Magic Circle Management Center, a different scenery that I had never seen before unfolded.
A dark sky like dawn.
A fortress surrounded by wooden fences.
People coming and going on the streets seemed to be a little more crowded than before.
“Ohh…Is this a labyrinth? It’s dark unlike the outside. Is it magic lighting that illuminates the street?”
After seeing the fortress on the 10th floor of the labyrinth, Christina looked around curiously and said,
Similar to Princess Flora, she looks around here and there.
“Flora, are you, the lord’s daughter, the first to come?”
“Yes…”
Flora replied, not meeting my eyes and lowering her head.
I’m ashamed because I like it.
Is it because I don’t like it?
The first time I saw it, it was Flora who showed me a timid side these days.
“This is where the stench of warlocks comes from.”
Judith looked around with stern eyes and said.
“Can you tell me that?”
“Yes…”
“The exact location is…”
“I’m sorry. Until that point… I can tell you’ve been here often, but… If you’re nearby, you’ll be able to figure it out.”
“Isn’t that him?”
“Yes?”
My fingertips were pointing at Albert, who was looking around like a country boy.
“Oh, no.”
Judith hesitated and answered.
‘Sorry…’
“Who is that guy?”
I pointed at Henri.
“I-I’m not! I’m innocent!”
Henry denied it, confused as to whether he had been listening to our conversation.
“I’m sorry. His Holiness… Neither is he.”
“Still, I don’t know if I’ve seen it wrong, so why don’t I take a closer look. Is there a good method, like torture?”
At my words, Henri’s face turned pale.
“Me, why are you doing this to me?”
“His Holiness, I’m sorry… It’s not like I’m torturing an innocent person…”
Hearing Judith’s words, an expression of relief appeared on Henri’s face.
Unfortunately, it was Judith who bluntly said no to no.
