Now, let's see how this little meeting ends.
“You have enough guts too, come here after cheating us. You sold us weapons, but you bought magic gunpowder, Aether in large quantities until we were left out. Guns without gunpowder are just a bunch of useless iron” said the World Explorer. From her voice, it seemed like she was a woman.
“I called you here for answers,” continued the World Explorer.
Jun on one side, folding his hand, “Ha?! The aether? Who wants to buy such an item at a time when the prices of all goods soar?” said the man in his familiar snob style.
“Huh? Soar high..?”
Jun sighed, “To live alone, I've choked amazingly. Especially after the refugees suddenly flooded the market with their gold pieces. All prices are now soaring, exceeding the record for a thousand years,” he said.
Surprised by the World Explorer, “T-TT—T-Wait first, seriously not you who bought out Aether in this country?” ask the girl.
Araraa, what did I find? A misunderstanding? Attractively. I chuckled to see the two men continue their discussion below.
“Auntie your laugh is like an antagonist in novels,” said Arthur.
“Indeed,” said I who noticed Luciel was still waiting behind the shadows.
What is he waiting for? Who is he after? Wait, if Jun and the World Explorer are not the figure of “Lady Quina” who bought out Aetherku?
Suddenly I remembered Uncle Roger's words when he drove me a few days ago,
“S-Since the nurses left her, Miss Doctor came house by house to practice.. “.
Wait a minute, why did I just realize it!
"Have Ma Dame heard the story of Alliese City?”
Lumina knew the cause of the Nyght Plague at once. Of course he would have the idea of using Aether purifying the Arisian river. Lumina, you. It's impossible, no, no, it doesn't make sense. Despite being a Doctor, Lumina couldn't possibly have that kind of money!
“You're a Noctis, but why is it so easy for you to bow your head?”
Smile on my face. Oh, my God, they really fucked me. If Ma Dame Fan was that Lady Quina, it was easy for her to buy Arther's entire supply. And also, as a highly trusted doctor in the nameless district, Lumina would easily come into contact with Ma Dame Fan. Especially if his research on the Nyght Plague was very significant to the defense of Pei Jin city.
… But for what? Are they trying to prevent Master Towa's plot? No, if Ma Dame Fan wanted to, he could easily remove Master Towa from this city. In other words, Lumina and the old Grandma wanted to fish for bigger fish. Someone who is very influential, has a lot of money and may be very strong so they can not touch directly.
Eh? Didn't.. I meet that criteria?
“Artie, you.. make Lumina from Magicite what?” ask suddenly.
“Kok suddenly change the weird topic gini?”
“I kepo aja, because the crystal you use to make Lumina eyes is very beautiful.”
Somewhat reluctantly, the man replied, “I. Uhh.. I thought it was an ordinary Magicite.
Quartz Megistus.”
Hmm, interesting.
Is it possible that Lumina inherited the memories of the First Goddess? But strange...I never even met the Goddess, why are they after me like this? As if they knew that I was the antagonist of this world.
Ahhh.
But, after successfully touching Ideal White in the previous world.
“Jun Aivelstadt, Quina Megistus. It so happens that we meet here,” suddenly heard a familiar voice.
He was Kuro, the head of Hwarang who surrounded Jun and the World Explorer with his army. Complete with a magic rifle, I could feel a dense killing intent from him. It seems, Kuro and the Hwarangs were sent here to finish off the traitors of Pei Jin.
“Tch, you set me up, Quin!” yelled Jun resentfully whipping out his sword.
“Ish, what the hell talk, I don't know anything, suddenly fluster gini!” said The World Explorer who called his lightning spear, “It seems, there are people who trap us both.”
Kuro calmly lit his cigar, “Quiet, calm down. No need to rush to bite each other's tails, huh? Ma Dame Fan only sent me here for one thing,” he said who sucked the cigar and exhaled it deliciously,
“Restore the heirloom you stole from Tartarus last night,” he continued, followed by his entire army to take Jun and the World Explorer.
Tartarus, Ma Dame Fan's magic lab tower? Doesn't the place have such strict protection that even a mouse can't get in? Wow, great also a thief who can get in there!
Jun ruffled his hair, “Aaarggh, I'm getting less and less aware of what's going on here! Are you aether, naek price, and now I'm accused of stealing an heirloom? Ah, that's why I hate Pei Jin,” said the man who pulled out his sword, saying,
“What are your eyes, you just want to find a scapegoat, right? Let me tell you, you're looking for the wrong victim!” he shouted that attacked the Hwarangs with his gang.
Geez, Jun. has always been impatient. She thinks
“O-Oii, I don't want to get involved,” said the World Explorer who wanted to escape, but the Hwarangs opened fire on him. The girl's lightning reflex brushed off the shot and stared fiercely at the Hwarangs,
“Huff, almost there. In this case, there is no other choice but to debunk!” yelled the girl.
I shook my head, “Gosh, why it's a gini gang war. Somehow I felt there was a misunderstanding between the three camps,” muttered I realized Arthur was itching to help his father.
Explosion after explosion rang out as the World Explorer using his lightning magic shot lightning spears at the Hwarangs. However, Hwarang's uniform has been laced with a hard magic protector. They easily repelled the attack and beat up the Matrovska who blocked their way. In an instant the World Explorer was also cornered by the strength of Ma Dame Fan's elite forces.
As for Jun himself, although I have no doubt about his strength, he still seems to hold onto his foolish heroic idealism and protect his men. His once sharp sword is now blunt. Consumed by worry, he did not even realize a Hwarang had been aiming at him from behind.
I breathed my breath, “And I told you.. The hero must come late,” muttered along with the sound of a loud gunshot and shot Arthur who almost brushed off the bullet and protected his father.
But at the same time, Luciel emerges from hiding. The ground was smashed with his spear, creating an ice wall that sealed the alley.
“Today, fast!” luciel shouts as he guides Jun, Arthur and his gang escape from the narrow alley. But he did not care about the World Explorers and Matrovska cs who were in the Hwarangs.
“S-S-Damn, he used us to make a run. The anying it!” shouted the World Explorer who was busy repelling the Hwarang attack. But he finally realized, one by one his Matrovska had fallen helplessly on the ground, complete with a magic chain that bound them.
The World Explorer swallowed his saliva and laughed awkwardly. He also raised his hand and muttered, “My fate is really good. If found out, I could be impregnated by Master Towa!”
I also threw a tube filled with red liquid that exploded when it touched the ground. In the explosion, it forms a very spicy gas in the eyes and throat. Fortunately, the girl was wearing a mask and a thick coat so as not to be affected by the gas. The gas repelled the Hwarangs and opened an opportunity for me to come down and pat the boy on the shoulder.
“K-You!”
“Bising,” I said that hit the girl on the nape, dispelled her consciousness and fled into the darkness.
