Episode 230: The Peace Evangelist (7)

Aside from being smart, Lilia is inherently pure in her way of thinking and is not good at lying. Even if a priest were good at lying, that would be a problem in its own right.

So, he is good at gently taunting someone who tries to deceive him with nonsense and facts, but on the other hand, he is weak when it comes to things that are good for him if he puts a steel plate on his face.

“…yes?”

Lilia’s retort was a beat late, as she had not expected the word “sky fairy” to suddenly pop up.

For a seasoned politician who came from a prestigious family and had a rough time, that alone was an answer.

“I have spent over seventy years in the Highlands, Archbishop.”

Landon smiled faintly.

“Do you think you’ve never seen a sky fairy in your life?”

“Uh, um… … .”

“For a wizard who can control the wind, the wind can teach you quite a lot. The power of the sky, a special kind of magic that is unique to sky fairies? I have already seen the magic that pushes away the wind even when you are still.”

“If you noticed, there’s nothing left to hide.”

Shamita, who had been clicking her tongue, took off her hat. Her pointed ears, which had been pressed down, stood up. Her silver hair, which had been gathered inside her hat, flowed down gently.

Landon nodded as if he knew it, met Lilia’s gaze, and opened his mouth again.

“It’s not as if you didn’t know that she was a sky fairy, so why was the Archbishop accompanying you? And you even brought a personal letter that was clearly favorable to the sky fairy.”

Lilia didn’t know much about politics, but she knew that it wouldn’t do any good to answer carelessly here.

A church that favors fairies over humans? I feel sick after hearing just one sentence.

Lilia wisely chose to look at Galen instead of risking a verbal slip-up by answering directly.

Galen, who was stroking Lilia’s head as she sent a rescue signal with eyes like a puppy that had been wet from the rain, naturally took over the conversation.

“That’s a bit of a stretch, Lord Landon.”

“What the heck?”

“If you say that, it sounds as if Lilia is on the side of the Sky Fairies.”

“Wasn’t it?”

Landon asked back, crookedly.

“Don’t expand, and don’t touch the Sky Fairies. What does this mean if not supporting the Sky Fairies?”

“Humans can neither expand nor touch the sky fairies, but the sky fairies can invade human territory and touch humans. This is the point where they are truly on the side. Does Lord Landon think that the contents of the letter mean that?”

“… That’s not it.”

“I don’t understand why you are misunderstanding the courageous spirit of Lilia, who came forward to stop the two sides that had been growling for decades. As an archbishop, wouldn’t it be okay to offer a word of ‘advice’?”

“Advice, you said?”

“It was advice. Sir Judith listened to it, learned from it, and declared her intention to pursue peace ‘herself.’ In addition, she wrote a letter to House Typhon inviting them to join ‘voluntarily.’”

Just hearing the words Galen subtly emphasized, Landon immediately knew what he meant.

This was absolutely not something the church interfered with. It was the family that acted on their own initiative. Therefore, no matter what happens in the future, the church is not at fault.

“Listen, Duke Galen… … .”

How dare you try to evade responsibility by just putting me in chains with such a joke? How much must you have ridiculed this body, the Typhon family?

Landon, who was about to raise his voice, suddenly trailed off.

Judith, the matriarch of the protein family.

We weren’t close friends, even in words, but I knew him for decades, so I knew very well what kind of person he was.

That foul-tempered old man just gave in and wrote a personal letter?

How could that be? There must be some reason. An absolute justification for giving in even if you didn’t like it.

And, if the Archbishop insists on an absolute justification―

“… … .”

Although she was old, her mind was not hardened. The jewel’s acceleration of thought was so long that it only took a few seconds to organize her thoughts.

“I’m sorry,” Landon said softly.

“May I ask what argument you used to persuade Sir Judith?”

“I think you already guessed.”

Galen said, chuckling. That’s why it’s easy to talk to someone who’s smart. They know how to bow.

“It was under the jurisdiction of the Protein family… to be exact, it was under the jurisdiction of a family under their command, but anyway, we wiped out the devil followers there.”

“… I see.”

“And the evil plan they were plotting was a war between humans and sky fairies. I believe you understand why Lilia wanted to live in peace.”

“I understand.”

Landon sighed and replied.

An argument that fundamentally blocks the claim that ‘whatever happened was Protein’s fault and Typhon had nothing to do with it, so we will continue to expand our land’.

From now on, the church can label anyone who touches the sky fairy as a follower of the devil. The church that holds the justification is not to touch them.

“Well, it’s not that big of a deal, is it? Compared to the Protein family.”

Galen said sarcastically.

“It’s not like they’re entangled with demon followers, and I don’t think House Typhon has been expanding that much in the first place.”

“That’s true. The feeling of being voluntarily passive and being forbidden by others are very different.”

Landon responded slightly gruffly.

“As you can see, the reason you came to me first is to ask for my help in persuading the family.”

“Well, if you try to persuade the family first, it’s obvious that they’ll make excuses like they need to ask for Lord Landon’s opinion as well.”

“Tsk, I can’t deny it.”

“Think positively. I heard that even the Sky Fairy was running out of patience and preparing for war. It would have been Protein who was struck first, but would Typhon have been okay?”

“I’ve been hearing rumors of that damn war breaking out for decades.”

“This time it wasn’t a warning.”

Then Shamita blurted out.

“Even though I stopped these two before they could cause trouble, it took a long time to calm them down. If I hadn’t stopped them, I wouldn’t have come here alone, but with my compatriots.”

“… Are you quite a high-ranking person?”

“We don’t have a hierarchy. We’re all equal. But, yes. If we apply human standards… there’s only one of my kind above me.”

“… … .”

Landon wiggled his eyebrows.

It was the first time Galen and Lilia had heard the exact sequence of Shamita, but they were not surprised.

Since the jewel Radhika was the second in the hierarchy of the earth fairies, it would be understandable if the same jewel Shamita were to be the second in the hierarchy of the sky fairies.

Even Landon, who had no such prior knowledge, could have deduced it in another way.

I don’t know the exact power of the fairies, but if they are the highest level of a race with intelligence no different from humans, then their power is definitely―

“Can I ask you one thing?”

“Ask.”

“Are you a jewel?”

“Yes.”

“If that is true.”

Landon’s voice quietened down.

“Let’s have a go just once.”

“suddenly?”

“If the Sky Fairy also knew that there was a jewel, the family would completely surrender. The conflicts up until now were all caused by underestimating the Sky Fairy. I will also accept defeat cleanly.”

“Are you saying that you won’t accept defeat just based on Galen and Lilia’s words?”

“Of course I will. But it can’t be a surrender that comes from the heart. I feel like I’ve been beaten up because of the protein.”

“It’s none of my business how you feel, but… … .”

Shamita paused for a moment and sneered slightly.

“I will grant your request. I am also curious about the abilities of the two strongest humans in the plateau.”

“Thank you.”

“But please understand even if you can’t control your strength.”

“Don’t worry. I’m not suggesting that you practice slowly or anything like that.”

I thought it would end smoothly, but a battle suddenly broke out.

However, both Galen and Lilia did not take it seriously.

“Don’t fight too seriously. If one of you dies, it will be difficult to resolve the situation.”

“I’ll take care of your wounds!”

“… I shouldn’t have been the one to say it first, but can you stop me?”

“If they do it because they want to, how can we stop them? They’re not kids, so I’m sure the two of them can handle it well.”

Lilia, a sparring maniac, is good at stopping others from sparring.

Galen, even though he had already stolen both sides’ magic, had no reason to stop him since he could watch and learn from the battle between his masters.

As soon as the mat was laid out, Shamita and Landon’s eyes became slightly trembling, perhaps because they felt a little awkward. Regardless, Galen lightly clenched his fist and shook it.

“Then we’ll go down and take a look. We’re rooting for you both.”

“Oh, Shamita. If the box bothers you, should I hold it for you?”

Lilia asked.

When we first met, Shamita was carrying a box on her back, and she was still carrying the same box.

I didn’t really ask about it until now because I thought that maybe the sky fairy used something like that instead of a bag.

If there was something valuable in it, the atmosphere might get a little weird if I asked for it. They seemed like they knew each other a lot, but if you think about it, they had only been traveling together for less than two weeks.

“It’s okay. It’s not a box you carry around for no reason.”

“Oh, I’m sorry.”

“I’ll just ask for the hat.”

Galen and Lilia, who had taken Shamita’s hat, came down to the ground.

Not down there, but on top of the cliff. I guess you could say it was around the front yard of the mansion. The split cliff was like a thick stone pillar, so there was still plenty of space left over even after building a nice house.

“Excuse me for a moment!”

Lilia greeted the four escorts who were fidgeting and twitching their feet. They had no ability to fly, but they had the ability to see the sky, so they naturally knew where the two had been just a moment ago.

“Everyone, who are you… … .”

“I came out of the church!”

As soon as Lilia pulled out her glowing sword and showed it to them, the guards’ guards’ guards’ guards’ guards melted away. The church’s halo was truly terrifying.

“Don’t worry, I didn’t come with bad intentions.”

“Oh, yes.”

“Go and do your business!”

After chasing away the timid escorts so that they wouldn’t disturb our cozy time, I put down the bag I was carrying.

Galen conjured two temporary wind elementals by stirring his life magic. They were for auxiliary use, not combat.

It’s like they set up a hammock made of wind because their necks hurt from looking up for too long.

“Oh, what a waste… … .”

“But is it comfortable?”

“That’s true.”

Even if you lay down, it is obviously more comfortable to lie down on the wind than to lie down on the hard ground.

Lilia, who was laughing bashfully, lay down on the wind hammock. Galen also lay down right next to her.

While looking up at the sky, Shamita and Landon seemed to be having a conversation rather than rushing into battle.

The perceptive Lilia overheard the conversation again.

“aha.”

“why?”

“That’s… … .”

Lilia glanced at the positions of the escorts who were a long way away, turned to the side, and whispered softly.

“The Typhon family must have ancestors, right?”

“Right? There must be a founder who first created the magic of the family.”

“It is said that the ancestor was inspired by a sky fairy and realized magic.”

“Oh, really?”

“So, Brother Landon, you want to see the original. To see if there is any progress in your cultivation.”

“Oh, like that.”

Galen looked up to the sky with a pitiful look.

It seems that Typhon’s ancestor misunderstood Sky Liberation. If Sky Liberation was of the wind type, it would have been integrated with the spiral circulation long ago.

Well, I understand since there would have been no status screen. But since the shield was invisible and was fluttering around, there was plenty of room to mistake it for some kind of magic that manipulated the wind.

“Huh?”

At that moment, Lilia’s ears perked up. Her eyes widened slightly. Galen asked.

“What did you say?”

“Well, at first, we talked briefly about Brother. Brother Landon seemed a bit taken aback when he heard that the wind magic from earlier was your magic.”

“Did you ask again if I wasn’t a water-type gem wizard?”

“Just like the wizards I first met always do. But then… I showed you my magic earlier, and I have a general idea of ​​how the Sky Fairies fight, so why don’t you just unleash your full power right away―”

It was before Lilia’s relay was even finished.

Squeak! Squeak!

Almost simultaneously, two different types of revised worlds with different feelings were activated and covered the sky.

“You guys are really hot. Are you going to start with a world of revision?”

Even though he was laughing in vain, Galen’s eyes were shining fiercely. He used all his senses to scan the sky.

They say that just because you come into contact with the revised world, you can’t steal it through the status window.

Because I have experienced many times that it gives much more inspiration than regular magic.

After coming into contact with Radika’s revised world, I obtained the revised world of water manipulation.

Just as we have come into contact with the revised world of Atma and obtained the revised world of spirit creation.

‘perhaps-‘

You might get something today too.
