Helmut
Episode 315
The village was engulfed in a bustling atmosphere that could be felt even from afar. Usually, turmoil follows bad things. An ominous feeling came over me.
Many villagers had gathered at Terra’s house and were discussing with Azer with serious faces.
The guests were just about to eat.
Helmut and the others were also watching their conversation.
Terra, who arrived in a hurry, raised her voice and asked.
“What happened?”
A woman covered in tears stepped forward and shouted.
“Terra, Uber has been captured by Veneta!”
Azer, who was standing with a frown between his eyebrows, added his words.
“It’s just as she said. Uber was captured. “Look at this.”
What he handed over was a piece of paper with the emblem of the Veneta royal family imprinted on it. Terra read the words written there.
“You have invaded the king’s territory, so you will be punished. If you want your sinner back, be prepared to pay the price. Amanda, could you… … “Has Uber gone far from town?”
The woman named Amanda nodded with a worried face.
“For a while, you couldn’t go out because it was the village policy. But Uber is a herbalist! How can you work without going out of town? Because of that, I haven’t been able to look at herbs for a while… … I was very worried.
He said he would come see the herbs he had planted today and that he would go a little further away. Even so, it is near the village. “I said it was only about an hour away from here!”
“If King Veneta was targeting this place, he would have his soldiers stationed nearby. He was waiting for someone to catch him. Or maybe there was a wizard. “If you’re going to deal with Green Cana, you must have thought about leveling up the wizard.”
Terra calmly chanted. She was calm as ever.
It wasn’t unexpected. If King Veneta wanted to target Green Cana here, he could one day be taken hostage.
The people of Green Cana cannot continue their lives entirely within the village. They say Azeri goes there regularly to get supplies, but that also has its limits.
If the period gets longer, one or two people are bound to leave.
Terra focused her gaze on Amanda.
“I’m not trying to place blame. If things ended up like this, there would be no point in blaming them. “Now let’s think about how we can rescue Uber.”
“The person who brought this letter also brought me this. Amanda confirmed.”
What Azer held out was a glove with blood stains on it. Rather than blood flowing in a stream, it looked like the blood that had spilled from being beaten while resisting had been wiped away.
Amanda nodded with red eyes.
“Uber’s gloves are correct.”
“They said that if you do something stupid, next time they will send you a wrist instead of a glove.”
“Ah, Uber!”
Amanda cupped her face. She let out a deep sigh from Terra’s mouth.
While their conversation was taking place, Helmut was approaching the group standing on the other side.
They were listening intently to the sudden commotion, wanting to figure out what was going on.
Area gave Helmut a quick greeting.
“I heard you went somewhere with Xian’s mother?”
“Ah, I’ll tell you later. More than that, this is what happened.”
“I guess I can help as I’m staying here. “It would be better for Rodrill not to get involved with us, so it’s okay to come out openly.”
Area shrugged her shoulders. Even though they were dealing with a single kingdom, there was no trace of fear in them.
Although you can’t go into an open conflict with Beneta, you can at least rescue some hostages. Uber or whatever, wouldn’t it be okay to infiltrate Beneta, find it, and steal it?
Even in the forest of Pahe, they were moving around to avoid the eyes of fearsome monsters. It didn’t seem like it would be incredibly difficult to achieve the goal while avoiding human eyes.
“Still, the situation is not that bad.”
Asuka muttered calmly.
“Why didn’t you send me your wrist just now?”
“Even if your wrist is cut off, you can just put it back on.”
Area also responded calmly. There is a spirit wizard, Rod Ril, who probably never thought that he wouldn’t be able to heal such a wound.
However, if you send an ugly wrist, it means that you really want to fight. Veneta probably didn’t want to ruin the deal by hurting Green Cana’s feelings, so he probably stopped at an appropriate line.
Asuka said as if she were lamenting.
“But how come there’s no way to just quietly overlook anything? Even if you leave there, it’s still a problem. “Xian, you bastard, didn’t you call us here on purpose to use us?”
“no it’s not? If that were the case, I would have called you without you! “You are the least helpful!”
“what? “The most comfortable thing to come out of playing and eating in the forest of Pahe.”
Charlotte, who was the most comfortable, cleared her throat without realizing it. With her stinging face, she quickly changed the subject.
“It looks like Veneta will soon come up with the terms of the deal. They are waiting for us to contact them first. “They took hostages and created that situation.”
Xian frowned.
“What can Veneta want from Green Cana? Unless it’s money.”
“Isn’t it the power of a spirit wizard?”
“But Rodil has never been subordinated to the king of any country. Unless he wants to cause great disaster to the country, it would not be in Veneta’s interest to mess with the spirit wizard. Isn’t there a pressing reason why Veneta needs the power of a spirit mage? As far as I know, the climate in the Kingdom of Veneta is stable. “There have been no large-scale droughts or floods in recent years.”
“Either it is the excessive greed of King Veneta, who has just ascended to the throne and is in great spirits, wanting to keep even Rodril under his feet. or not… … . It’s frustrating. Because we don’t know anything about that information. “I don’t know anything about the recent situation in the Kingdom of Veneta.”
Xian clicked his tongue and shook his head.
“Who asked you to help? Are you thinking of just eating and hanging out here? “With the monsters, the temple’s exploits, and the Grand Princess Rinosa, you know that the stakes can only get bigger for no reason, right?”
“Even if you offer to help, it’s a lot of talk.”
“It might be better not to help. And you, who are nothing, are actually the biggest problem. “I think you can make that smart King Veneta lose his temper by making fun of him.”
“What, this!”
Asuka raised her fist. Helmut stood next to Area while watching the two fight. Her low voice flowed through her.
“There is one card I can use against Veneta.”
Area immediately looked at Helmut. Her purple eyes shone brightly.
“You mean Hawkeye?”
Hawkeye’s Talon had promised to provide him with information three times. Helmut squandered two of those opportunities. But there was still one more time left. This is your last chance to use Hawkeye’s information network.
Area was cut off in an instant.
“Dangerous.”
To get information, you must first contact Hawkeye. And that’s right here, in Green Cana!
If Hawkeye learns of Helmut’s survival, if it reaches the ears of the Temple of Rinosana… … . I never had a good picture of what happened after that.
Hawkeye is an organization that cannot be said to be friendly to Helmut in the first place. Rather, I would have lost if I had defeated my enemy.
“Hawkeye still doesn’t know about my relationship with Rinosa. “I don’t even know who I am.”
“You might have figured it out. Because you went missing. If you had inquired a little bit at Greta Academy, you would have found out that Helmut, the head of the 2nd year swordsmanship department at the time, had suddenly disappeared, and maybe they would have found out that your traces were lost in Rinosa. “Because you are a person of interest to them.”
Why did Helmut go missing from Rinosa? What is the meaning of the information he took twice?
Information about Vashor and Rinosa. There were too few clues to connect the information that was separated like an island.
However, a leap forward is not impossible. A leap closer to the truth.
At least they would know who Helmut’s enemy was.
“Intelligence groups are not scary because they have a lot of information. The scary thing is that you can compile that information and derive new information. There is no need to reveal your whereabouts to those who are not on your side. “In a situation like now where there are so many enemies.”
“Hawkeye is on hold. But it can’t stay like this.”
Since they have taken hostages, if things continue like this, there will soon be a big uproar in Green Cana. Neither Terra nor Azer had very gentle personalities. It was right to give up the idea of just resting here.
To just ignore it and leave, Xian is also Rodrile and won’t be able to be free from this place. Helmut was in debt to Sian. He was right to help him.
Helmut opened his mouth again.
“That side seems to know a little bit about this side, and this side doesn’t know about that side. “Whether it’s through Hawkeye or not, we need information.”
Area suggested.
“Why don’t we tell Xian’s mother that we will find out about King Veneta and go there ourselves?”
In a big city, you will be able to hear most of the news. You will also be able to see how the situation in the Kingdom of Veneta is progressing.
King Veneta’s capital was quite far from Green Cana, but I remembered a nice city somewhere in the middle. Helmut nodded.
“Go that way.”
“We would be grateful if you did that.”
Terrana Azer immediately agreed as soon as Helmut spoke.
They also did not expect Helmut and his party to come forward and defeat the Kingdom of Veneta.
It wasn’t a huge burden to help just by saying I would go and check on the situation and get information.
Now we had to select the number of people. Helmut and Area naturally wanted to leave alone… … .
“You two are going alone? “They left us in this boring country town!”
Asuka’s strong protest,
“It will be helpful if I go.”
The number of people in the group increased thanks to Charlotte’s unsubstantiated claims.
Now the two monsters were the problem. Two monsters that I am reluctant to leave behind or take with me to Green Cana.
Although I managed to keep quiet, the problem was that I never knew when an accident might occur. Monsters are inherently beings that cannot be reassured.
Even so, they couldn’t force it, so they had a choice.
Ygrel made an unexpected choice.
“I will stay. “I will protect Green Cana.”
She seemed more interested in what might happen in Green Cana. On the contrary, Elaga quickly jumped on Helmut’s shoulder.
[Of course I have to go with you. Where are you going to go around talking about a weak topic?]
“Elaga. “You can’t get caught in the city.”
[Will you get caught? I’m not a weak person like you?]
“… … .”
Helmut felt the urge to throw the cat off his shoulder.
But anyway, that’s how the party was decided.
