The Burning City

“It’s all my fault.”

Loka sadly and sadly clings to my arm and weeps. Of course not.

Actually, this is no one’s fault. In the end, everything went well.

“Because I am not enough, my master’s eyes…”

“It still looks good. That’s it.”

Even if my eyes are broken, I can see clearly in front of me, so I decided not to worry about it. What has already happened cannot be undone, and even if it could be undone, you would have made the same choice anyway.

Kugugugugung!

At that moment, the Artavus landed with a heavy sound that did not know whether it had landed or had crashed. Whether this should be called a soft landing, the fuselage scratched the ground and continued for a while before stopping. From afar, the words of the Holy Father and the Doge were heard.

“This, this is so bad I can’t use it. It would be cheaper to scrap it and rebuild it than to fix it.”

“But it’s over now. Holy Nergal. When I return to my Vales City, I will help build three, or even five, ships like the Artavus.”

Their words were filled with relief and joy. We have lost a lot, but if we hadn’t come this way, we would have lost everything.

Come to think of it, there is no real gain from this victory. Only wounds remained. But it is not necessary to ask whether it is better to live with scars or to die altogether.

“Haha, that’s really great… No, what does this mean?”

The door opened with a thud… rather than the door, the door leaf fell off. Beyond that, His Majesty the Doge was astonished to see Roca crying as he approached with a smile on his face.

“What’s wrong with you? Did you get hurt anywhere?”

“Master’s… eyes…”

Hearing Rocca’s whimpering voice, his gaze turned to my eyes. Their vision met briefly, and the apprentice hit the buttwheel. His legs suddenly lost strength, and he seemed unable to stand any longer.

“No, what is this…”

Seeing my broken eyes, he could not speak. I just smiled and replied.

“He who harms others must be prepared to harm himself.”

Even if I harm others with my own strength, the Milky Way blooming night is not my strength.

I have harmed my enemies by your strength, so the retribution is also my retribution. It is a natural reward for actions. It has nothing to do with right or wrong.

“It’s just that.”

From my point of view, Phoenix is a demon. The gnome nearly killed Roca, pushing the Citadel Republic to the brink of destruction.

Thousands of people have fled to the islands through the gate, but now that the gate has been stopped, it is unclear when they will be able to return. I suddenly separated from my hometown, so I will have to start earning wages to come back.

Indeed, many wept, and the unlucky did not. Buried in ashes and lava, he died before the disaster it caused.

But I don’t know if the Lord sees him as evil or not.

“I must have placed a heavy burden on the teacher. How to do this…”

The apprentice covered his head with both hands and was in agony. I discouraged him.

There is no such thing as I came here knowing this was going to happen, and it ended up like this.

“If you have suffered financial damage, you can solve it with money, but this is exactly what it is. Things that money can’t recover… those things, once lost, can’t be recovered.”

“Is something wrong?”

The Holy Father, who came out coughing from the inside, looked at my eyes and was astonished.

“No, my God. Heh heh, this…”

He looked much older than when we had met before, and his wrinkles were even deeper. His voice became a little hoarse.

Both me and him ended up laughing at the same time. When humans overcome a crisis by borrowing the power of God, there is a price to be paid.

“I’m already alive, so there’s no problem with this, but what if a young person does…”

The people who followed me all looked into my eyes and said one word at a time. I kept saying it was okay, but nonetheless, everyone was worried. Mr. Robert also came up to me and bowed his head to greet me.

“Teacher. I was very rude.”

After saying that one word, he hesitated, unable to speak any more. I figured it all out though.

Sometimes, conversations take place not with words, but with facial expressions and eyes.

“Thank you very much, Priest. The priest saved the Republic, but he also saved the Continent. Really, I don’t know how to express all this gratitude, but thank you. Thank you very much.”

Mr. Thomas also held my hand tightly with both hands and said thanks again and again. Mr. Robert was about to smoke a cigarette, and suddenly he had a thought, unwrapped the cigarette paper and spread the cigarette ashes evenly. And then, it was lit on fire.

“What is this person doing?”

“Instead of incense. I’m going to do some tribute to my dead family.”

“You say you use cigarettes instead of incense? The… Were you on a bad relationship with your in-laws?”

“How are you? Both are made from plants.”

As if he was sincere, Robert knelt to his knees and prayed for the rising cigarette smoke. In the gloomy atmosphere, the apprentice opened his mouth.

“I was happy for a moment, but there are so many gloomy things. For now, let’s all go back. It’s not in the mood to celebrate the joy of victory.”

He let out a deep sigh.

“In peacetime, I would go to a bar I know well and have a drink, but once the house is closed, I have a lot of work to do from now on, so I just feel depressed. Ha, anyway…”

He looks at me again and bows deeply down to his waist to greet me.

“Thank you so much for saving our country. I’ll have to give you something as a reward, but let’s go back to see if there’s anything left.”

He went into the boat for a while and then came out again after a while. There was a ore in his hand that looked similar to the ore that Chamwoldo had melted but had a different type of power.

“There is a high probability that there will be nothing left even if you go back, so take this with you as an advance payment. the sun stone It’s something that money can’t buy now, but it’s too small compared to what the priest has done.”

“no. Even if you don’t give me this…”

“If you take it, take it. Even though you lost your eyes, you must have something to gain.”

Suddenly, an ore was in my hand. The apprentice gave advice.

“But, ore is just ore. To make something out of it, you have to smelt it, but I don’t know if there are any masters in the continent who can do that. That, please, the priest will have to look for in the Empire.”

It seems like they don’t know because they’re holding on to me now and crying, but Roka’s Chamwoldo also melted and turned into ore, so I needed a skilled blacksmith. First of all, Roca won’t be able to walk around with bare hands forever.

“First of all, everyone rides. I will somehow use my sailing skills to bring this… scrap metal back to Vales City. Ha, I don’t know. If I think I’m going to crash in the middle, I’ll land.”

Cardinal Omen called us all, and we all boarded in turn. When I climbed up to the deck to soothe the grassy Roka after sniffing, the Artabus had already risen again and was flying in the sky.

However, this time the altitude was not so high. The height was low enough to see the ground in detail.

“The ship’s condition is very unstable right now, so if we fly above the clouds and disintegrate in mid-air, we will all break up. I don’t want to do that, so I have to fly low and slow.”

“Hey. Even if I leave here, I will die.”

When the Master Apprentice, neither a wizard nor a knight, protested, the Cardinals shrugged their shoulders.

“Of course I just say that. We will be able to return safely.”

Kugugugung!

Truly timely, the bow of the Artabus suddenly dropped. Many contemplated and watched the falling bow.

bang! The bow collided with the ground. The only thing underneath is ashes, so it would be a big deal if it fell on a private house.

“…Now I am starting to lose myself.”

“what?!”

“It seems that the damage to the hull was greater than expected. For now, I will slow it down.”

“I came here with the intention of dying, but I don’t want to die from a fall on the way back. yes I beg you like this Let’s get home safely.”

Still, somehow, it was when the Artavus almost reached Valles City. The eyes of the people on the deck widened as a group, including myself.

“No, what? Could there be another volcanic eruption?”

“Why, why is the smoke coming out of there?”

“Phoenix is resurrected… isn’t it?”

Everyone was confused and rushed in.

We wouldn’t have been away for very long, because Vales City was on fire.
