Chapter 110
Even though Celine wanted Lou to remain in Sharpe Castle, it was impossible to force the dragon to do anything. It was because Lou clung to her side and did not want to leave her side even for a moment.
“It still thinks it’s a baby. It would cling to your wrist if it could.”
While Leonhard looked a little tired of it, Celine’s thoughts were different. Lou was not a stupid dragon who still thought it was a baby dragon.
“It’s still a baby, because it flew away before it was fully grown.”
“It’s not growing up by its own choice?”
“It was because of the prophecy.”
He seemed to understand everything she wanted to say in just one word.
“…I guess there was nothing we could do.”
“Yes.”
Celine nodded her head.
“Lou definitely didn’t want to grow up so early.”
The dragon’s growth was only planned to end the stage just like he was brainwashed in the underground maze and killed her.
Leonhard looked at Lou with compassionate eyes.
“Poor thing.”
He muttered very softly, but Celine could hear it clearly. To her surprise, there was someone beside Lou who wanted to join them.
It was Lute Dave.
It was a surprise not only to Celine but also to Leonhard.
“Are you serious?”
Leonhard asked as if he couldn’t believe it.
“Yes.”
Lute Dave answered stiffly.
“Of course, if Lord Leonhard doesn’t trust me…”
“… That’s not true, so don’t misunderstand.”
He stared at Lute Dave.
“However, this is the first time that a wizard has followed my mission without someone’s orders.”
“Is that true?”
Lute Dave seemed just as surprised as Leonhard a moment ago.
“Of course, I thought it would be the honor of a lifetime, so I asked the Count’s permission.”
“I see.”
A faint smile appeared on Leonhard’s lips.
“I will try not to become someone.”
“….”
Leonhard did not answer. However, Celine could tell that he was in a better mood than he had ever been in a while.
The three rode together toward the wasteland that Count Sharpe had mentioned.
Lou flew above their heads, maintaining a surprisingly horse-like speed. If it were just Celine and Leonhard, a separate guide would have been needed. Though since Lute Dave was a native of the county, they were enough.
After a while.
“Here it is.”
When Lute Dave stopped talking, what she saw in front of her was just an ordinary-looking mountain.
Celine blinked her eyes.
“I heard there was a landslide, but I don’t see any traces.”
“It’s because it was a hundred years ago.”
Lute Dave answered lightly and started climbing the mountain.
It was quite hard because it was a point where they couldn’t even see any traces of a path. Nonetheless, Lute Dave used magic to climb the mountain, and the remaining two followed him. The messy pile of weeds was completely cleared up thanks to magic, but climbing the mountain with no path was by no means easy.
As Celine stopped every few steps, breathing heavily, Leonhard anxiously grabbed her arm and supported her.
“Lute Dave. Please go a little slower.”
“Oh, sorry.”
Lute Dave answered with an apologetic face.
“You seem to be very weak.”
“Yes.”
Leonhard nodded his head.
“You have to be very careful.”
Celine tried to protest that he didn’t have to be overprotective, but Leonhard’s concern made her relax.
“Celine, it’s okay to go slowly. Don’t overdo it.”
“Leonhard…”
Neither Celine nor Leonhard said anything more out of consideration for Lute Dave. Instead, she squeezed his hand.
She felt a pleasant cold sensation in her hand.
“You’re hot. Do you have a fever?”
She couldn’t hold back her laughter.
“Leonhard, it’s normal to be hot!”
She signaled to Lute Dave, who looked confused that she was okay, and the three started moving again.
Seeing Lou circled above their heads, Celine felt relieved because it looked quite happy. Until now, she was worried that it might have sensed the warlock’s energy in advance and got scared, but it was a relief.
Finally, they reached the top of the mountain. There was still no path in sight, but Lute Dave moved like someone who had already been there many times.
Leonhard said in a somewhat puzzled tone.
“I think you’ve been here a few times.”
“Yes.”
Lute Dave nodded his head.
“There are many rare herbs. There are quite a few people who come and go here, even if they aren’t wizards.”
“But why isn’t there a path?”
Lute Dave hesitated for a moment.
“That is…”
“Say it.”
“There are ugly rumors going around. Anyone who goes here will die… Of course, my fellow wizards and I were fine, but the average herbalist was pretty much dead.”
“How did they die?”
Lute Dave sighed.
“Actually, it had nothing to do with it. There was an epidemic, and quite a few people, including the herbalists who were there and the children who came as a test of courage, died.”
“It was just a coincidence.”
“Yes. Still, it’s been over twenty years since even wizards stopped going.”
“Why did even the wizards stop visiting?”
“The hostility of southerners towards that place grew so much that just visiting was enough to get people stoned. There was even a rumor going around that only warlocks would go to such evil places.”
Lute Dave’s sigh was heard again.
“Well, we weren’t short of money, so we were able to buy as many herbs as we wanted from merchants in other regions. So no one went there.”
Celine suddenly became curious.
“Is it okay now? Just by visiting, we could be treated as warlocks.”
“No way.”
Lute Dave said in a surprised voice.
“Lord Leonhard and Lute Celine! Everyone will think we have gone there to remove an old curse.”
“Is that so…”
She didn’t know why, but she felt a burden. Nevertheless, she didn’t feel bad.
Lute Dave started laughing.
“Don’t think that you two are the same as ordinary wizards like us.”
“The flattery is at a high level.”
“If you say the same thing to the Count, she will be shocked.”
Soon, they arrived at their destination.
As soon as Celine got there, she took a deep breath.
‘This place…’
This was because it reminded her of the abandoned village that was the stage right after the lava stage. Despite that, the abandoned villages in the south, where life was abundant, were even more bizarre than the abandoned villages in the volcanic region.
A tree as tall as a person growing on top of a half-collapsed roof caught her eye. Various vines and weeds covered the places that had once been houses, and plants were also growing abundantly on the traces of the landslide.
“It looks like the warlock isn’t here.”
When Leonhard’s displeased voice was heard, Celine nodded her head. If a warlock had used this place as a base, there was no way these plants would be fine.
“I’m sorry for putting you through so much trouble.”
“No.”
Lute Dave shook his head.
“Of course, you can’t succeed on the first try. The county is wide…”
Right then, Lou let out a bloodcurdling cry.
Celine half jumped.
“Lou…!”
As Lou flapped its wings and half-wrapped her, her whole body stiffened. Lou continued to dig into her body, filled with anxiety. Since the size was several times her size, it was only tightening Celine’s body.
“Leonhard. Is it possible for a warlock not to kill life around him?”
“It’s quite possible.”
Leonhard nodded his head.
“It is only their own will that causes them to kill lives. Whoever broke into Bernoulli Castle did not kill anyone to avoid being caught.”
“I think it’s nearby.”
Celine couldn’t read Lou’s thoughts. She and Lou couldn’t really communicate, yet the dragon’s now anxious state proved to her that there was a warlock nearby.
“….”
Leonhard closed his eyes for a moment to concentrate, then opened his eyes with a frustrated face.
“It’s too difficult.”
“Because it’s spring, right?”
“Yes.”
He answered weakly.
“It’s so different from winter.”
“It’s okay.”
Celine comforted him. Leonhard was the type of person who would blame himself if he made a single mistake.
“Lou is feeling anxious right now, so I’m sure they’re nearby. You will be able to find it quickly. They won’t be able to escape quickly from terrain like this.”
Still, Leonhard’s complexion did not improve.
“I have killed several warlocks like this. They are the most difficult group.”
“…Lord Leonhard, what do you mean?”
He frowned and continued speaking.
“They know how to harass the dragon most effectively while leaving the least trace. A person with such strong self-control that they suppress their desire to kill while hiding in an area rich in life…”
“An old snake.”
“Yes.”
Lute Dave added a word.
“If they at least know this place, they must be quite old. They’re definitely not a rookie.”
Leonhard inadvertently placed his hand on Rashir’s scabbard.
“I originally thought it was weak, but it’s quite the opposite. I have a bad feeling.”
“Could they attack us first? Like other warlocks…”
“Due to the nature of these people, it may be a surprise attack, but I don’t think they will show up proudly.”
Suddenly, Celine was overcome with reasonable anxiety. There was no way someone so clever would hide in such an obvious place.
‘Were they trying to drag us in?’
In that case, the entire place becomes a huge trap.
It was an idea that seemed likely to be wrong, but there was no harm in being careful.
Celine opened her mouth to tell Leonhard her thoughts.
“Leon—”
Suddenly, Lou spread its wings wide and flew towards the sky at high speed.
“Lou!”
Even though Celine was scared and shouted, Lou did not return and continued to fly.
—Thud!
Goosebumps appeared all over her body.
It was because Lou crashed into something in the sky.
“…It got hit.”
Leonhard muttered absentmindedly next to him.
—Thud!
Lou crashed into the sky again, and it began to stagger and descend once again to the ground.
“It’s a barrier.”
Leonhard gritted his teeth. In the meanwhile, Lute Dave’s body stiffened, and his pupils opened wide.
It was a sign of fear.
“Lute Dave.”
Celine approached him to reassure him, but Lute Dave only got more upset.
“…So, sorry.”
“What is there to be sorry for?”
“I’m really sorry.”
“….?”
Celine looked up at Leonhard, puzzled by his cold voice.
“You didn’t bring us to the wasteland that Count Sharpe spoke of.”
“….!”
“It’s a village that has been abandoned for a long time. Yes, that might be right, but does this look like a wasteland?”
Leonhard was right.
The village itself had been abandoned for a long time and was in ruins, but it was by no means barren.
The wasteland where the warlock was based was a land barren of life. Lute Dave brought them to a place where those conditions were not met by misleading them with the condition that it was the same abandoned village.
Leonhard took out Rashir.
A blue flash targeted Lute Dave’s neck.
“Say it. The one hiding behind you… where is it?”
