Chapter 160.1: Visitor From The Forest
The Lampas (Dark Elf) and female Daemon stationed in front of the gate bowed when they saw me.
The name of the female Daemon was Gwuno. Modes appointed her as my subordinate.
「Gwuno-dono, how\'s his current condition?」
「Though he was raging around until a while ago, my subordinate has already put him to sleep with magic.」
When I asked, Gwuno replied while looking at Lampas beside her.
Lampas could use mind magic just like the Dryad.
It seems he was put to sleep with that magic.
「Thanks. I\'m going to check his condition.」I approached the gate as I spoke and opened it to go in.
Upon entering the room, I saw one man, or maybe an animal, tied up in the middle of the room.
The man\'s head had completely transformed into that of a wolf.
Daigan.
That was the man\'s name.
The werewolf who pledged his allegiance to me.
But due to a certain reason, he was currently under house arrest.
「Why don\'t you kill him, Kuroki? That will make things easier right?」
Kuna who stood beside me said something really dangerous.
Kuna probably didn’t care at all regardless of how I handled it. She looked at Daigan with a bored look on her face.
「We can\'t do that, Kuna. Daigan isn\'t in his right mind now, and it’s not even his fault. That\'s why we can\'t kill him.」
I shook my head as I replied to her.
Daigan became like this just recently.
The relatives of fanged creatures such as werewolves or wolfmen were the kin of the wicked beast, Ferion.
And that Ferion was currently sealed in a certain place.
That was the reason why the power of the relatives of fanged creatures weakened and they lost their excessive ferociousness.
Most of them were currently living quiet lives.
Some of them became subordinates of other more powerful races.
That was the reason why Daigan was working for the ogre before.
But, there was a time when these fanged races regained their original ferociousness.
And that was when the seal of Ferion weakened.
Ferion\'s seal weakens once every seven years. And this year happened to be that moment.
I heard about this matter before from Modes.
Thus, I flew in a hurry to the Kingdom of Algore to temporarily retrieve Daigan before he caused big trouble.
Thus, I managed to prevent Daigan from rampaging around in Algore.
「Can we restore his sanity?」
The Lampas shook her head when I asked her.
「It\'s impossible, Your Excellency. Rampaging and the thirst for blood are their natural instinct. The only way to calm him down is using mind magic.」
「Manipulation with mind magic huh… I don\'t want to use that method if possible.」
I didn\'t want to use methods such as mind control.
Living like a manipulated puppet was the same as death.
Thus I had to think of another method to restore his sanity.
「He should be back to normal if Ferion\'s seal is restored, Your Excellency. Meaning that he should be okay if we leave him alone for some time right?」
Gwuno suggested another option to me.
Sure enough. We should just wait until the moment of the weakening of the seal passes and he should regain his sanity.
Thus, Daigan should regain his sanity if we left him on his own.
Alas, I shook my head.
「Surely, that\'s another option but… Something troublesome happened over there. Just to be sure, I guess I need to check the situation over there on my own.」
「… I see.」
In fact, I just received an intel saying that the subordinate of the Serpent Queen was found in the vicinity of the place where Ferion was sealed.
The place where Ferion was sealed was kept a secret. And that secret had apparently leaked to our enemy.
The place where Ferion was sealed was right at the bottom of Elios mountain.
The elf kingdom and dwarf colonies were located near the seal.
When Ferion with its ferocious power woke up from its slumber, the dwarf colonies would be in great danger.
Thus, the God of dwarves, Heibos spoke to Modes.
I was also worried about Heibos and the dwarves’ safety during this period. That was the reason I decided to see the situation.
Modes had also granted permission for my dispatch when I told him about my worries.
「That\'s why Gwuno-dono. I\'ll leave with Kuna. Did you prepare, Kuna?」
「Yes, Kuroki. Everything is prepared. Wood, you\'ll be in charge while Kuna isn\'t here.」
Said Kuna as she looked behind.
Behind us were a few men led by a man clad in red armor kneeling at us.
They were following Kuna and walked behind us.
The name of the man in red armor was Wood. He was originally a worshiper of the Demon King.
And then, he received an evil armor thus becoming an evil warrior.
「Leave it to me, Kuna-sama. I\'ll protect this castle at all costs. Gufufufu. Well then Jusio-dono, let\'s contact our comrades from the "Stepped by the Adorable Kuna-sama" group. Let\'s protect this place while Kuna-sama is away.」
「Uhm… Group? When did I—- Oh forget it, I understand, Wood-dono.」
Thus, Wood and co left the place followed by the bewildered Jusio.
I looked at their backs as they left.
Honestly I was speechless upon hearing their conversation.
Could they at least do something about the name of the group?
As for Kuna, she didn\'t seem to care about the name of the group and left it as it was.
「Take care of this place during our absence, Gwuno-dono…」
As someone who belonged to the Demon King\'s camp, Elios was my enemy.
That was the reason why we couldn\'t bring too many people, which was why Gwuno and co were left behind.
Kuna and I could hide ourselves to sneak into Elios and none of the angels would find us.
And since we would be guided by the dwarves, there should be no problem in this regard.
「Leave it to me, Your Excellency.」
Gwuno replied as she bowed her head.
Amidst such anxiety, Kuna and I left the Sweet Castle behind.
