After my words, there appeared an awkward silence between me and this group.
"If you don't stop joking and tell me who you are..."
'I'm so scared. What will you do to me "Reitei-sama" if I don't tell you who Im? How arrogant do you have to be to call yourself by that name. Did you yourself call emperor or did you get that nickname from your minions? Since you call yourself that, you're pretty strong right?' - I asked him without showing him any respect. If he is really strong, then he will not care about such verbal prosecution. I need to know what his mentality is.
"Of course Reitei-sama is strong, he will defeat this monster behind you, thus surpassing his teacher, who could not defeat demon and take revenge on Deliora for destroying our homes" - said pink hair girl looking at me with a strange look
So he is a Ur disciple. A woman who was at the saint-wizard level.
After I heard this young lady speech, I couldn't hardly restrain myself from laughing out loud, but my shaking shoulders betray me, and my eyebrow also started twitching.
'Heh heh heh, you want to say that he, this asshole in goofy helmet' - I said pointing my fingers at dude' - 'will be able to defeat Deliora after he finishes ritual of defrosting it' - I jerked my thumb behind me with a raised eyebrow
What a cocky cretin
If he is a Ur disciple, then he has the same magic as this woman.
"Do you think I'll have a problem with that? I still have time to prepare myself, If now I can do it with hardly, then after some time it will not be difficult for me" - he replied, crossing his arms over his chest
"Exactly, Reitei-sama will do as he says, he is our leader and we believe in him" - so, this masked dwarf can talk
'Well, I just don't quite understand how you're going to do it. Judging from the fact that this demon is sealed, not killed, this means we can say that ice magic does not work for it. So tell me, genius, how will you do it?' - I asked coming closer and closer to Reitei, which made him slightly tense his muscles
He wasn't going to fight this demon with ice magic, was he? Don't tell me he didn't think about it while he was thinking about this plan. I was definitely wrong to think he was strong.
Or does he have magic with an slayer attribute that will allow him to kill it?
Maybe he has Slayer magic?
"I..."
'God, your leader is an idiot and was really going to throw himself at a demon with ice immunity. I would advise you to find a more suitable leader who will not hide his identity under this mask. But if he really wants to fight Deliora and lose his life, then who am I to interfere with him, I can help with this ice and return it to its original state with my [Transfiguration magic] and return this ice to its original appearance. It is at that moment that you will have opportunity to destroy this demon and surpass your teacher. But if he loses, he will kill us all' - I replied, coming close to Reitei, whose shoulders were shaking slightly.
He's not going to cry, is he? Maybe I said something to him that upset
"Are you-are you doubting in my strength?" - he screamed sharply , grabbing me by my collar
Looking at his behavior, I saw his eyes light up with anger, and his fists clenched.
He's starting to annoy me
Will he hit me? His team will try to do something or so and will continue to watch as its leader is verbally humiliated by it is unknown person who happen to be standing here.
'You know, it took you too long to understand it. I was really about to shout in your ear that your plan was doomed to failure from the beginning and you are an ordinary loser with megalomania. I'll be back here tomorrow night as soon as I finish my quest. If you agree, just wait for me here, Oh greatest Reitei-sama, I'm literally dying from anticipation of your fight against Deliora' - with a slight my hand movement, I get his hand from my collar and walked passed by so-called Reitei.
After walking a few more meters in silence, I heard that annoying voice again.
"You still haven't told me your name."
'Oh, Reitei-sama, I'm just an inferior Luka Skliff, an independent wizard who came here to complete a quest. But now my sojourn here will also be occupied by your great battle with Deliora, about which legends will be composed. I hope you won't disappoint your fans, Reitei-sama' - I couldn't help but continue mocking him, because then further this situation went, then more pathetic he looked. He was no longer as confident as in the first minutes of our talk
'Elder Moka, I suggest you find problem elsewhere, the temple hasn't link with the fact that your body parts have undergone changes, please try to remember when exactly these transformations began?' - I asked him sitting next to bonfire, discussing with my client about their problem and eating a big meat piece washing it down with orange juice
"It all started a few days before we sent a request for help to the Era. And just recently we started paying attention to the moon, which began to glow in a different color, sir." - Bobo replied, describing the whole situation to me
I still didn't understand why they kept saying that the moon was a different color if I had already seen it today. It was the usual color.
'You're crazy right? Are you seriously saying that the moon just changed color? Can you prove it to me?' - I innocently blinked my eyes and looked at them as if they just thought I was a fool
They slightly furrowed their brows because of my words, but only nodded and Elder dwarf pointed his finger at the sky as if asking me to look there.
"Please, sir, look there, we are talking about this moon" - old man nodded affirmatively, pointing to the starry sky
'OK, OK, I'll look at her just to prove my point, I don't understand why you keep talking about...' - I raised my head and looked at the moon, which was lilac in color.
Lilac Moon
I blinked
"This is what we told you, sir, because of this moon, we began to turn into these monsters" - Bobo said to my dumbfounded face, on which there was shock and disbelief
How? I am absolutely sure that I have already seen the moon today and it was the usual color, what could have happened in such a short time period?
Is the moon drop ritual really with that the moon acquires a different color? Did their transformation begin from moment Deliora was brought here.
'It can't be real, it just can't be, for the last 2 days I have often looked at the moon and its color was not in doubt. How is this possible? Tell me, Elder Moka, can any of you come with me to the temple now, I have to check something' - I asked, getting to my feet
"As the elder of this village, I will go with you."
'Great, but in from beginning I will need your help, Bobo, could you take me on your wings as high as possible there, to the moon, I would like to know something? Maybe it's some kind strong illusion' - I pointed my finger at the sky and waited for an answer
"Yeeeep, if you're in a hurry, then I can do it now" - I just nodded to him, he picked me up under his armpits and carried me into the sky
While we were flying, I couldn't help but be surprised at how well he treats with wings, as if he was already born with it
'I'm sorry, but do you use this ability often?' - I looked up at him and poked at his wings
"Nah, only a few times a month, it scares me..." - he did not have time to finish his answer because we crashed into something and flew down without controlling our fall
'WHAT THE HELL' - I shouted to him, waving my arms in the air like a bird falling rapidly to the ground
Am I going to die such a stupid death?
What the crap
My death will not be a battle, but an ordinary falling from a height?
I will become a flatbread on earth, wonderful
I'm going to be the president of the losers club
The wind gently tickled my cheeks as I fell.
I decided to close my eyes at 100 meters from the ground in anticipation of a blow.
Which didn't happen
"I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry, it's my fault, while I was talking with you, I didn't notice this layer in the sky and collided with it. I'm going to catch my breath and lift you into the sky again" - Bobo said, picking me up at the very ground
An unknown layer in the sky?
After we returned to ground, I decided not to waste time and go to the temple, since it was already within my sight, this layer in the sky can be checked later.
'Hey, since we are already near the Temple, we can go there right away, Bobo, every minute is important now' - I offered him this and went towards the big building
"Yeeee..." - he did not have time to take 5 steps because lost consciousness.
'Hey Bobo, buddy, what's wrong with you?' - I ran up to him and began to feel his pulse
What's going on on this island?
Deliora, Reitei, the lilac moon, strange layer in the sky, turning into demons, people pass out
I should have a drink to make sense of everything that happened to me today.
By the way, what should I do with Bobo, leave him here or take him to the villages, and only then return back.
'Gosh, how can he snore at a time like this? Where did he get such nerves?' - I only asked myself, looking with one eye at the mustachioed man who seems to be comfortably positioned on my back.
What really happened after all?
Why did he suddenly pass out and what is the reason for this?
Does the temple really somehow affect to these people?
Why do I have a feeling that this lilac layer above the islands that created these people thoughts about the lilac moon and moon drop ritual are connected with each other?
Maybe that these people have never been human at all and because of the impact of the ritual have acquired new and incorrect memories of their past?
What a weird island
And it's even more annoying that this dwarf hasn't stopped chasing me for 20 minutes.
[Bullet magic]
I put out my hand in a pistol form and shot at the tree on which this dwarf was supposed to be on the trajectory of his movement.
This guy barely managed to dodge magic bullet
'What do you want, dude, your boss Reitei made his decision so quickly with Deliora resurrection?' - I asked the masked man who was just grinning at me.
"My boss? Youre wrong. He's not my boss, I just offered him help in this case and decided to watch how he copes" - he said landing next to me and my nose immediately reacted to him as if he poured several perfume bottles on himself
What is she doing here? Did Fernandez send her? What kind of masquerade?
'What do you want, advisor. Tell me right away, because I need to bring this guy to the village, I don't have that much time to talk with you' - I asked as I walked past him, catching him off guard by what I know about his transformation
"Advisor? I don't understand.."
'No offence and im not pervert, but you smell a lot, if you keep pouring so much perfume on yourself, then your disguise will stop working on others, fortunately I was lucky and Fernandez hung around with you for too long, he also smelled of it. So I'll ask you last time, what do you want' - I asked, looking at Bobo, who seemed to have begun to regain consciousness
This guy dispelled transformation magiŃ and Siegrain assistant stood in front of me
"Well, congratulations..."
'What do you want Milkovich, I'm already tired of asking you this question' - I uttered
"Oh so stingy..."
'Since you're not talking, then I'll go, tell Reitei...'
"STOP-STOP-STOP. Does this transfiguration magic work like you said?"
'And yes and no. I can absorb magic of this ice or transform it into an old form. This is all?If so, I'll go'
"Absorb?"
'This will increase my ethernano volume for a short period, which can help me destroy Deliora after this clown Reitei loses or even worse dies in this battle. Of course, I probably won't have enough strength either, and then the demon will go to the nearest city, I don't know how I will do it, it's still Deliora, but I need to do everything so as not to die, so I'm considering an option where I absorb all the ether from this ice and rush to Deliora in everything that I have. Or I or Reitei have to fight with this demon, sooner or later this ice would have melted anyway?' - how much more do I have to tell her so that these idiots finally get behind me.
"What do you want from me, so that you don't not absorb all this ice, but return it to its shape?" - is the advisor trying to trade with me?
I looked her up and down and grinned
'Since you work for the magic council, I need information about where all the golden keys can be right now, and by the words all, I mean ALL, even if they are now in legal wizard possession' - it's time to use the magic council help
"Why would you..."
"Listen, I'm not asking you why you need that Ur, you're not asking me why I need this keys? Are we going to draw up an oath agreement which based on ethernano?' - I started forming paper in my hand
"...?"
'The essence of this agreement is that if one of those who signed it does not fulfill conditions, then this person will suffer, die or lose ethereano container. My conditions will be that you do not tell anyone that I own this kind of magic, because it may become a problem for me in the future, and in return I will not tell the magic council that you are associated with one of the dark guilds' - my smile could split my face when I saw advisor shocked expression
"How?"
'Zatrow, Zarow, Zacrow damn it, what was the name of this fire-breathing idiot, Zarcrow no, no, Zancrow, right, Zancrow and it seems a little girl Meledy tried to recruit me 2 years ago, but failed, there I accidentally heard your name. So what about our contract? If you agree, sign it, if not, I'll just walk by and forget about our interaction'
