One Piece: My Devil

Speaking of the Sorcerous Kingdom, Izaya admired Ainz and his team's scale of construction very much. Perhaps it was because this was a magical world. The country was built very well, and there were many unexpected places. Izaya planned to just follow and go to the Holy Kingdom together, but Izaya had no intention of showing up. After the conversation with Blue Rose, Neia's Holy Kingdom envoy departed from the royal capital early. The reason for this is because they have seen that no one in the kingdom is willing to help the Holy Kingdom. It will take several months to investigate the information about Jaldabaoth's true posture. Also, they know that the only one who can defeat Jaldabaoth is The only clue that defeated Jaldabaoth was Feifei.

Not only that, but because he thought of the people who were suffering in the Holy Kingdom, he anxiously wanted to rescue them quickly. If he could seek help earlier, everyone would be able to escape the sea of ​​suffering sooner. Giving the horses only the minimum rest, sometimes using magic, and using speeds that ordinary travelers could not achieve, the group of people rushed eastward along the streets. After passing the last village of the Kingdom, we entered the buffer zone with the Sorcerous Kingdom. Izaya just followed behind. Although Izaya didn't like their speed at all, Izaya still followed them patiently, carefully observing Neia's and their actions. The group of people became more and more excited on the road. I became nervous and spoke a lot less. The scenery along the way to the Sorcerous Kingdom was very good, and Izaya was able to slow down with them this time and enjoy the scenery.

The slightly raised hills block the traveler's view. Occasionally, one can see the dense virgin forest. There is no trace of human presence in it at all. It is not surprising that a monster emerges from it at any time. Even if it is said to be the original land of the kingdom, that is all. It's just that the possibility of being attacked by monsters has become a little lower, not absolutely impossible. Izaya remembered that when he and Ainz were doing relatively low-level tasks before, there were related tasks to clean up the surrounding monsters. However, this situation happened after Ainz made a request to the kingdom to rule Elandir. , there are a lot less dangers on this journey. The matter of ruling the kingdom has been a long time ago. Ainz wanted to make the land around Nazarick his own. When he came into contact with the empire, Ainz Showing his strength, he asked the king of the empire to request an alliance. Ainz took advantage of the situation and established the Sorcerous Kingdom. He asked the kingdom for the land of E-Rantel, including the citizens of this land. Naturally, the kingdom could not Agreed, so they launched a war. As an ally, the empire would naturally go to war. In order to show its power, the empire sent a powerful army. The king of the empire wanted Ainz to use the most powerful magic to show his strength. By the way, the empire The king wanted to find out the details of Ainz's power. Izaya was present at the time. The scene was really unbearable to watch. Erantil became the capital of the Sorcerous Kingdom, and the kingdom's vitality was greatly damaged. After that, Di Miorgos disguised himself as Jaldabaoth and caused trouble in the kingdom. In order to gradually occupy the kingdom and transport some supplies to the Sorcerous Kingdom in the chaos, Ainz's wallet suddenly became full. I was also very happy for a while. Although I only paddled occasionally, it was still quite fulfilling. Then Ainz sent people to clear out the monsters and other things nearby. Those who could surrender were surrendered, and those who couldn't were eliminated. So around There is basically no danger. They are basically Ainz's citizens. After Ainz established the Sorcerous Kingdom, he made it impossible for the citizens to harm travelers nearby. In order to spread the reputation of the Sorcerous Kingdom further, it is best to You can capture more territory without losing a fight.

Neia began to move forward on such a land, feeling that her vision, smell and other senses became sharper.

There was nothing lurking about the streets. There are no traces of large carnivores passing through the streets.

There is a lot of exposed dirt on the streets. Walking a little further, we entered the former Kingdom Direct Territory, and the streets seemed to have been prepared. The well-prepared streets are more convenient for travelers, but for Neia, it is easier to confirm the footprints of wild beasts on the exposed earth like just now.

Again hold the reins tightly. Lift your waist slightly and slightly adjust your position on the saddle. After leaving the Holy Kingdom, I had spent a long time on a horse, and my buttocks and thighs had become quite sore. Izaya noticed Neia's subtle movements, which were somewhat familiar, but he couldn't remember anyone who had ever ridden a horse, let alone anyone who had to ride a horse for a long time.

Neia thought that if she could ask the Holy Knight to use low-level healing magic, the pain would definitely be eliminated. However, as a girl, she was still a little embarrassed. And it is even more difficult to say it in such a delicate situation that it does not affect the control of the reins. Then just apply some herbs as usual. I have to thank my father. Before, when she talked about the pain in her butt, she ran over in annoyance. At that time, did she say thank you properly? Just when tears were about to come out, Neia tried her best to hold back. Izaya knew what it felt like, when he would feel the true death of a person, not the moment he saw the dead person, but the moment when he should be there but would never appear again, in that moment Only when you realize that this person has really left, is he gone forever. Izaya didn't know why he felt this way. Obviously, he had never really lost anything. Logically speaking, he shouldn't understand this feeling. But why, seeing Neia's tears welling up in her eyes, Izaya suddenly With this feeling, as if he felt it deeply, Izaya looked at Neia carefully again. He did feel familiar, but he just couldn't remember who it was. He really knew such a person. ?

Nea suddenly looked at Xiang carefully, and then said,

"Ah, Captain, you can see the stone road. We are almost entering the territory of the Sorcerous Kingdom."

The street suddenly turned into a cobblestone road, which was a strange feeling. Izaya nodded, it was indeed a little subtle, after all, this is

Free labor, no, no, no, Ainz has always paid a certain amount of remuneration. The Sorcerous Kingdom's infrastructure is very powerful. After all, Ainz's subordinates are very obsessed with whether the Sorcerous Kingdom is worthy of it. Because of Ainz's identity, he worked hard to create every detail of the Sorcerous Kingdom.

The leader asked,

"Is that so? Are we going to go to the Sorcerous Kingdom in one go or sleep in the open at night?"

Izaya nodded. The leader was still somewhat self-aware and thought she was already willful to a certain extent.

Neia stared into the sky, observing the time and approximate distance. Izaya nodded. Such calculation ability was not bad. It was quite powerful. After a while, Neia spoke,

"I think if nothing happens, we can arrive before the sun sets. However, it may turn into a very stressful forced march. What should I do?"

The group leader said, "I'll discuss it a little bit,"

Remedios tightened the reins, the horse began to slow down, and started a conversation with Gustabo.

While the leader and deputy leader were talking, Neia began to think. There was one point that made Neia very concerned. What she said should be correct, but from here on, it should be the Sorcerous Kingdom's. territory, but where are the soldiers? There are no fortresses either. Obviously there is one on the other side of the kingdom. Normally, a fortress would be set up at the national border, but there is no such thing here. Since there is only one city in the Sorcerous Kingdom, have all the troops been concentrated in the city? Neia's gaze stretched forward along the stone road. Gentle slopes stretch between the hills. A bare winter forest can be seen in the distance. Nature never changes anywhere. It feels like the scenery here is exactly the same as that of the Holy Kingdom.

"It's really troublesome to live in this world," my father muttered casually, which became a thorn in my heart.

Because my mother is here, my father would choose to live in the city. If I didn't have a mother, I would choose a small village near the forest and live under the blessing of nature. When I was a child, I felt that living in nature would be troublesome. However, after this trip, I can understand the meaning of my father's words. Is this proof that I have transformed from a child into an adult? Now, I should be able to talk to my parents about something different.

Thinking of such things, a trace of sadness flashed through my heart. However, this time the grief was only fleeting. That's because there is a hazy view in front of the street facing the east direction, the serpentine curve caused by the hills.

"Could it be a fire?"

Neia narrowed her eyes slightly and looked over again seriously.

The milky white mist-like thing floating around is not smoke, but mist. and. . .

Izaya looked in the direction of Neia, and a mist-like thing seemed to be moving this way. Izaya laughed. He was very satisfied with the shape, and his Shura was very similar. He and An were originally When I met Zi, I was really shocked. I remember it was when Momon, Izaya, and Nabe completed their mission and arrived in the town. At that time, everyone around them was cheering, "It's them , it’s Lord Feifei and the others, look, they’re back,”

"It seems like he is carrying something extraordinary,"

"I heard that he defeated the fire-breathing demon,"

"Well, that's really awesome,"

"That's right, the dark hero, Lord Momon."

"Look, Master Feifei is here,"

"Idiot, that's all because of me. If you don't like me at all, don't think about it."

"I heard that Master Feifei's personality is very fascinating,"

"Izaya-sama is also very friendly,"

"Nabe-sama is a cold beauty."

"Master Feifei has accomplished another great feat. I just don't know if Master Feifei can solve the ghost ship issue."

"Are you talking about the ghost ship floating on the earth?"

"Yeah, although no one has seen it, I heard it looks quite scary,"

"If it were Master Feifei, he would definitely be able to defeat them,"

"That's natural. What are you suspecting? Is there anything else that won't fall under Master Fei Fei's sword?"

"After all, that's a ghost, so physical attacks shouldn't be of any use,"

"What did you say"

The loud noises here made the noise here particularly eye-catching. Feifei and Linye looked over and noticed the situation here. Feifei strode over and asked, "Excuse me, what are you talking about? I It seems like I heard a ghost,"

At this time, someone was flattered and said, "Master Feifei, we... we are talking about the ghost ship,"

Feifei said, "Can you tell us more specifically?"

The people around him began to talk in various directions. After getting this information, the steps of the group seemed to become lighter. Feifei asked, "Linye, why are you so happy? I rarely see you." That’s it,”

Izaya smiled, "The ship I had in my original world was like this. It was surrounded by mist, and Shenren's singing could be heard from time to time. When people around saw it, they shouted that the devil is coming, the devil is coming. , it’s a very pleasant scene,”

Feifei smiled and said, "That's right. I also think boats like this are very interesting, so I want to own a boat like this. I just don't know if there are many such things."

Izaya said, "Probably not. There are very few people who have witnessed this. Things are rare and valuable. If there are more, they will be worthless."

Feifei said, "I

If we plan to use them to transport goods, of course the more the merrier,”

Izaya smiled and said, "This is a good idea. If it is like that, it must be very characteristic of the Sorcerous Kingdom. It will be very beneficial to the promotion of the Sorcerous Kingdom."

Feifei nodded, "I think so too, hahaha, Izaya really wins my heart,"

Izaya smiled and said, "I understand a little bit about Brother Ainz's ambitions."

Feifei smiled and said, "Then let's go. Don't go late and be taken over by others."

Izaya smiled and said, "I can't think of anyone who can get ahead of us."

Feifei said, "It's better to do it as soon as possible,"

Izaya nodded, "Let's go, brother Ainz, go to the general area first, and then I will search for it."

Nabe said, "This is so troublesome, Lord Linya,"

Izaya smiled, "It's been a long time, and my body is no longer stiff, so let me exercise."

Nabe nodded, and everyone arrived at the place where the legendary ghost ship appeared under the black night. Izaya moved his body and said, "Okay, I'll start now."

Izaya rushed out and began to move in an arc around the huge area. He ran quickly and kept tightening the circle. Finally, at one place, he saw the big ship wrapped in thick fog. Izaya looked at the big ship. Somewhat dissatisfied, this ship has too many damaged areas.

Izaya informed Ainz that they were here. Ainz saw the moving ship. Both Izaya and Ainz were thinking, "How is this ship moving?"

Ainz said, "It should be magic,"

Ainz made an appraisal and said, "It's magic, and it seems like someone is controlling it."

When Lin Ye arrived on the boat, he saw a Goblin sleeping soundly. Lin Ye woke him up and said, "Hey, wake up."

The goblin was surprised, "Ah, what, how did you get up here, who are you?"

Ainz also came up and said, "Does this ship have an owner?"

The goblin was so frightened that he fell to the ground, "No...No, it was already like this when I came up. There was no one up there, so I took this as my home."

Ainz nodded, "From now on, this ship will belong to the Sorcerous Kingdom. I will send more people here later, and this place will be under the jurisdiction of the Sorcerous Kingdom."

Izaya smiled and said, "Why don't you repair this ship? I feel very uncomfortable looking at it."

Ainz smiled, "This place is different from your place. It's just a broken ship, but it's very impressive."

Izaya smiled and asked, "Nabe, which one do you think is better?"

Nabe hesitated a little, "Ainz-sama is right about this."

Izaya smiled and said, "Nabe, you are so partial, I will be sad,"

Nabe was a little embarrassed, and Izaya smiled, "I'm not joking with you. I know how loyal you are to Brother Ainz. This kind of ship is also very good, but the bottom of the ship still needs to be repaired, otherwise it won't be able to hold much. Things, and after repairing them, we can add some distressed decorations.”

Ainz looked at the hole and said, "Yes, that's right. It should be repaired a little bit."

Izaya said, "The business we are developing needs to be carefully considered. Can it be a tourism project? Traveling on this boat is very grand."

Ainz smiled, "Leave this to Albedo and the others. Let's go back."

Izaya smiled, "Okay, Brother Ainz, I really hope there can be more things like this,"

Ainz nodded, "This is really exciting."

. . . .

Neia said, "I'm really sorry that it looks like there's fog ahead while you're talking."

The leader said, "So what?"

After reporting to the rear, Remedios took off her helmet and showed a puzzled expression. He continued, "Neia Baraja. Is there anything you care about?"

Neia said, "Yes. According to the map, there are no huge lakes nearby, but there is such a large amount of fog. I judge this to be an abnormal situation."

After seeing the fog, Neia thought about it carefully and continued to observe. Regarding this judgment, Neia was very well-founded. The fog, as thick as milk, became wider and wider, and soon We are about to reach Neia and the others. Her father taught her all kinds of natural phenomena, but considering this knowledge, the occurrence of these fogs is still very strange.

The deputy leader said, "Servant Baraja. Could it be a special environmental change?"

A question came from Gustabo, who grasped the situation earlier than Remedios.

The so-called special environmental changes refer to the occurrence of phenomena that are usually impossible to occur on a large scale. For example, an area filled with poisonous gas due to the failure of large-scale ritual magic; a desert where a powerful sandstorm blows for a week once a year; a place where seven-colored rain falls only at certain times. That is to say, I am asking whether this mist is also one of those mysterious phenomena. However, such information does not exist in the information Neia collected. I felt that if I answered like this, I might be criticized for something, but I had no other choice but to answer honestly.

Neia was very embarrassed and said, "I'm very sorry, but I don't have any information that such fog will appear."

The group leader was a little unhappy, "That means your intelligence collection is insufficient, right?"

Another question that is difficult to answer. Complete enough intelligence collection has been carried out, so who can say for sure?

Neia mustered up her courage and replied, "Captain Casteldio, what should we do now? My subordinates think this is the key point,"
