Chapter 332 – Village (7)
Soldiers who had lost their commanders began to scatter. There were no pursuers, but they left the front line in a gasp, as if their backs were on fire. Egbold’s body his lay miserably in the middle of the plateau. He seemed to be promoting the pioneers of the highlands. We stared blankly at the corpse and sat down again on the floor. Theoter still looked depressed. We had to stick close to her her, her her, her her, just in case she did n’t do anything out of the ordinary.
After sitting still for a while, she said while stroking our heads, which were clinging to her shoulders.
“It’s okay. Now.”
Theoter rose from his seat exuding a lively energy. She rolled over the bottles that had fallen on the floor, looking for the one that was full. But she could n’t find it no matter how many times she searched with her hand her, so she frowned again.
I hurried back down to the basement of the tavern. Below were quite a few bottles of wine that Theo Terre had not been able to carry because her hand was not enough. I took her booze and laid it out in front of her. Theoter looked at her drink her and she laughed again.
“You don’t need to bring it. I’ll do it.”
“No. Mr Theoter. Friends can do this much.”
A.A pokes my side and whispers.
“Then I got drunk and that… What do you do when you get upset?”
“It’s bad to doubt your friends. Warrior.”
A.A. Looked at me with her bewildered face. Ciotere, not paying attention to the conversation between the two of us, opened her bottle and she sat back down. She was about the same height as us, and she smiled, revealing her white teeth. Surprisingly, the teeth are the same as humans. She said as she handed us her bottle.
“Come on, let’s eat together. I wanted to have a drink with my friends.”
A.A looked a little taken aback by her remark that she was drinking. It seems that she was not a good drinker. Come to think of it, even when she was in the kingdom, she was drunk with a few glasses of wine and she had a criminal record. I smiled and accepted her bottle her, then noticed Aye as well. She reluctantly sat down in her place her and then she took the bottle.
When I put my hand her on her floor her, blood came out. The corpses of the dwarves were rolling down the slope in front of the tavern. As if the harbinger of an avalanche, the sight of the dwarves twisting their limbs in different directions one by one was a monstrous sight. A.A. Made her face frown in the sight of her misery her. I had a light toast with Theoter in order not to make eye contact with the dead dwarf. The bottle hit lightly, and there was a clear clicking sound. Theoter was surprisingly good at controlling his strength.
When I put the bottle in my mouth and gulp it over like a water purifier sucks in water, clear bubbles rose up over the sunlit glass bottle. The drops of alcohol that grazed his throat and his burned coldly. I involuntarily frowned at the bitter taste rising from my stomach. A coughed and lowered her head, startedled by the few drops of her liquor stuck in her throat. Theoter laughed at the sight.
I only took one sip, but my face turned red. When I touched my ear, it felt hot. A.A was already staring blankly at Theoter and at me, then she grabbed the bottle again. It seemed that the intoxication was starting to kick in. Seeing that my vision was slightly blurry, it seemed that the dwarves were not brewing alcohol, but processing it and drinking it.
Haha!”
Theoter’s laughter echoed. She pointed to my face and laughed. My face her was dyed red just like A.A. Theoter’s face her showed no sign of drunkenness. She drank another bottle like her drunkard and tossed her empty bottle roughly behind her. The sound of breaking glass came from the far back side of the garden.
The wind blows. A thick layer of dust on the floor was swept away by the calm wind that came along the ridge, creating a vicious whirlpool. Tree branches trembled as I watched the dust sucked into the canyon below. Theo Terre stretched her legs and said.
“Good night.”
She was enjoying her freedom of her. She was smiling happily as she stretched. I asked.
“Mr. Theoter. What is that promise?”
“Oh right. Were you supposed to tell me?”
Theoter grinned. She knew that no one would come for a while now that the soldiers had dispersed. It’s going to be a long story, so she had to hear it from now on. I looked at Theo Terre as I snatched the bottle from A. A.’S hand her, who was about to push another bottle of her drink into her mouth her with her blushing face. Theoter looked at the two of us and started talking.
****
Everything happened by chance. The fact that Theoter, who lived in the corner of the demon realm, woke up in the Dwarf Mountains was also a very coincidence. It was the same when the demonic dragon Artis woke up in the corner of the Dragon Mountains, and Mimir woke up in the forest near Ahildern. Dagon, who lived at the bottom of the lake, realized a beat late that he was in another world, not the lake of Cocytus.
Mimir, who was fluent in magic, quickly figured out the cause. It was caused by a crack in the boundary between worlds due to an ‘incident’ they could not know. The cause was unknown, but she deduced that it was possible that Mimir had been ‘accidentally’ brought here from another world, and that the borders of this world itself had become unstable.
And due to this shock, the beings of the mighty demon world were caught in the gap and came over to the human world. Mimir hurriedly found Theoter.
“Did Theoter know Mimir in the first place?”
“No. I saw it for the first time then. I heard that the wavelength was the closest, so I came to see you first.”
Mimir explained to Theoter the seriousness of the current situation. Mimir, she said, is that the connection between the demon world and the human world is getting stronger because they are here. So she, she said, she must somehow save this connection.
“She said that if Mimir doesn’t somehow save this connection, then demons will come flocking to this land because the demon realm and the human realm are completely connected. It’s a little hard to say with my own mouth, but the demon world kids are a bit bad. I probably wouldn’t have been able to handle it if it was connected as is.”
Theo Terre heard Mimir’s story of her and sought out other beings to discuss her countermeasures of her. She joins Artie and goes directly to Dagon, who is too big to maneuver. At the first regular meeting of four people, various opinions came out.
“Once at that time, the first thing we thought about was finding a way to go back to the Demon Realm. However, once the boundary starts to open, it’s not something we can stop by going back. That… Once there is a gap in the dam, even if the person who made the hole runs away, the water will continue to pour and the gap will continue to open, right? We are not running away, we have to block the gap with our bodies.”
Mimir explained it this way: Since the demon world has already captured their existence and is attracting the human world, they cannot stop the erosion just by going back. I have to find another way to solve it.
“So that was the second method I thought of. That we become part of the magic circle and block this land.”
This operation was suggested by Theoter. She said if that’s the case, why don’t they stop the devil’s energy from coming in? If we combine the power of four powerful beings, wouldn’t it be possible to stop the Demon World from trying to open the door to the human world? It was an argument based on this logic.
According to Theo Terrier, it took her quite a long time to push through and persuade this argument, she said. In the case of Dagon, who originally followed her, she showed disapproval, and showed disapproval, saying that there was research that Mimir was doing.
However, after Theoter’s persistent persuasion that he couldn’t let the bad guys kill all the humans here, the four of them eventually decided to join forces to make a camp.
“Why did you do that? You were just a stranger. It would have been enough to just go back.”
“The Demon Realm is a more horrifying place than I thought. I couldn’t stand it because this place has changed so much.”
Theoter calmly answered my question. That’s how gin was made. Ati and Mimir conceived of Jin, and Dagon raised his magical energy from under the water to activate Jin in the entire continent. After that, Artie settled down in the Dragon Mountains, Mimir in the forest, Dagon in a deep lake in a cave, and Theoter in the Dwarf Mountains and maintained camp.
“The reason I can’t go any further is that this is the end. If I get out of here, it will be hard to maintain the gin.”
Even though Theo Terre was beaten badly by the dwarves, she was still worried about this world. I could n’t help but stick out my tongue at her sacrificial spirit. However, there were still many unanswered questions.
Why did the demon king keep appearing even though I blocked the erosion with gin? Why did Artie say she had to kill Deorgon to get her out of the mountains? If Theo Terre’s words were true, Artie couldn’t get out of the mountains anyway, even if Orgone died. I asked Theoter.
“Theoter. Artie told me she can only get out if she kills Deorgone. According to Mr. Theoter, even if I defeat Deorgon, Atty won’t be able to leave?”
“Yes? Arti can do it. Because if part of the gin gets broken in some crazy accident, someone out of the four of us has to fix it, right? So, Artie said that she had prepared a way for her to move. .. … Well, I’m not sure why she would have to kill him. Is something wrong?”
Before I knew it, A.A. Was asleep on my lap. I stroked her hair and asked again.
“Mr. Theoter.”
“Call me Cioter. Are you friends?”
“Yes. Theoter. And, if the gin is still running perfectly, why do the demons keep coming?”
“Only once. There was a time when Jin collapsed.”
Theoter said. Artie told me this story. She said that Mimir’s wave had been interrupted only once. Theoter said the same thing.
“Mimir’s wave suddenly stopped. It was restored a few months later, but the gap that was opened at that time cannot be repaired with our own strength. It would be nice to be able to ask Mimir about that time.”
If I brought up the story of Mimir becoming a vegetable Mimir, she would blow Ahildern away, so I decided to put that aside for now. It was because I didn’t know the circumstances yet. As we talked, the sun was setting before we knew it. I was still looking for a place to rest with my body burning with alcohol. Fortunately, I was able to find a soft blanket and bed inside the magic stone mine.
It was now bedtime.
