Chapter 384 - Episode Thirty - Gizel's Attack (1)


“Abel-chan did such a drastic thing, huh. It was a manly thing to give up your achievements and position to protect Mea-chan. I thought Abel-chan would be more obsessed with the leader’s position and the strange tower in that territory.”


Shame laughed and made fun of me.


“Mea-chan is so lucky too!”


Shame elbowed her.


“Ple-, please don’t tease me …… Shame-san”


Mea blushed and crouched down.


I was watching her with a wry smile on my face.


I had Elia move the carriage and left the Fage territory with Mea and Shame.


…… I didn’t know who I could trust, and I really didn’t want to tell anyone, in case the person I got advice from might tell Peter, Altamir, or Lark where I will be going.


However, if I were to use magic for transportation, it would inevitably be a huge undertaking, and as Peter had always feared, it could trigger a war at worst.


For this reason, we needed carriages to travel within the country and ships to travel outside.


I was going to ask Elia to take me to a port city and then somehow find a place for me to go, but …… luckily or unluckily, Shame found out that I was sneaking around and making preparations.


Shame is well knowledged in geography and told us where we would go, what route to take, where to leave to get to where we were going, and even though she had other things to do, she offered to accompany us.


Shame’s idea was to head for the Galshard Kingdom from the port city of Radam.


It’s a little farther away than the city we had originally envisioned, but if we rest in the city for a day, there is a merchant ship that will take us there the next day.


If you’re a skilled sorcerer, they said, you will be accepted as an escort with open arms.


The Galshard kingdom, whose state religion is Garusha, the god of the earth, is said to be a warm-hearted place that has never been in conflict with any other country for a long time.


…… Peter was concerned about the possibility that the Galshard Kingdom was being controlled by Count Julem as his minions, but if that were taken into account, all five major powers would become suspicious.


The Dinrat Kingdom was also being controlled by Count of Julem, after Peter, who controlled the country, made a desperate move, and Count Julem thanked him for doing what he wanted.


In that respect, the Riveras Church Kingdom, where the incident had already ended, was also a candidate, but I feared that if I seek asylum in that country now, the situation might become even more complicated.


In addition to being land-locked, it would probably make me look bad for some reason if I went to that country.


“…………”


Shame was watching me as I pondered.


“What’s wrong?”


“…… But, are you sure you’re happy to be out of the land?”


“Yeah ……”


Shame, who usually only makes fun of my advice, asks me with a hard expression.


“I was the one who advised you on the route out of the territory, but since you had prepared so many weapons, didn’t you have some important reason? Are you glad you left?”


…… Shame, who is touring the magic wave tower, seems to be just agitated, but since I’ve told her a lot of things, as expected she’s already noticed.


I’ve known for a long time that she’s too perceptive, but it might have been better to hide or disguise it a bit more so as not to arouse the anxiety of those around her.


In the worst-case scenario, Lark will be treated as a traitor …… or might not be.


Since Peter is with him, he will crush us as much as he can.


“…… I can’t really tell about that on my own. However …… Um, since I’ve left my handover intact, so I’m sure someone else will be able to put it together someday.”


I’ve also left behind the mobile magic formula of the wooden dragon Quetzalcoatl.


If they’re at Altamir’s level, they probably can make it move.


If they can get it to work at full capacity, it should be enough to keep them fighting for a long time against a magic-bound Kudor.


At the very least, a fake Levi with a dragon vein can be defeated if they take their time, and a fake Levi without a dragon vein can be reduced to charcoal in less than three minutes.


Even if Julem throws a hidden force at them, they will probably not lose if they team up with Kudor.


“Did you precisely hand it over ……?”


Shame’s brow wrinkles.


“That’s right! Abel has thought this through and is working on it!”


Mea follows me up.


That’s right. I’m not going to let Count Julem off the leash without thinking.


However, I could not entrust himself to Peter and Kudor without knowing when they would betray me.


Both Kudor and Peter would probably try to solve the problem by killing Mea if the situation arose.


The weapons I left behind should be enough to repay the debt.


Quetzalcoatl, the wooden dragon, could unite the world if it wanted to, as long as it didn’t have someone like Kudor.


The fact that I left it under the control of Kudor and Peter is enough of a contribution.


“I-I see …… I see, well, that’s good then? I don’t know very much, so I don’t want to stick my head into it too much.”


Shame’s face twitched slightly and he looked away.


“And after all that, the thing I showed you before, who I was considering as my main asset, answers that I couldn’t build it from an ethical perspective.”


“Ethical …… perspective?”


Shame looks at me quizzically.


Mea, tell her. Even I’ve got that much in me.


“Abel, is that why you stopped the development? Wasn’t there some other reason?”


Mea shakes my body and asks me with concern.


I always try to keep my ethics in check and keep it to the point where it’s safe.


In order for the magic wave tower to ripen all the necessary experiments along the way, no matter how you try to limit the damage, you will be exposing the Dinrat kingdom to the threat of extinction more than a hundred times.


Of course, the chances of each and every one of these occurrences should be close to zero, but I can’t say that I won’t overlook anything in my bet on the lives of all the people.


I can think of ten times I could go into it, but the number of times I’ve done so is troubling me.


I’ve already done a lot of stuff to that tower, but I guess I’ll just have to give up and focus on it assisting as magic cell phone Magiphone.
