Chapter 497 – Theoter (3)

“Tasty!”

Theoter said in a lively voice. A large wild boar was being grilled in front of us, giving off a fragrant smell. It is said that he got rid of the smell by combining the spices and various mushrooms available in the forest, but I thought that Shioter was also good at cooking.

She and I had a drink before digging into the meat. She wanted to toast with me for the first drink, so we slammed our rough wooden glasses and drank in one gulp in a manly manner. Theoter laughed heartily as he enjoyed the jaunty rise. Theoter said.

“Where did you make this drink?”

“A famous brewer in the Dwarf Kingdom says this is a new drink. How about it? Awesome right? The moment I took a bite, I remembered the face of Cioter, so I bought it right away. I want to see Theoter smile like this.”

Theoter seemed really moved by my words. She licked her lips, then turned her face red and hugged me tightly. Then she stroked my hair and buried me in my chest. I ran my other hand across her her back her, caressing her soft, fluffy breasts her.

“Theoter. Why are you so moved? It’s between us.”

“Mo, I don’t know…”

I poured myself another drink. When the barrel was tilted, the liquor flowed out easily. Theo Terre was started and she tried to pour me a drink. I stopped Theo Terre from tipping her keg and grinned. Theo Terre looked at me with her puzzled face.

I drank from my glass, grabbed Theoter’s face and kissed him. As the drink flowed from his mouth to his mouth her, Theo Terre collapsed as his face his flushed red as if it were on fire. I licked my lips and got on top of Theoter. She had her eyes wide open and was gasping for her breath.

“Is it delicious?”

Theo Terre raised one of her fingers her and asked me.

“Hey, can I have another drink?”

“Absolutely.”

I opened the keg and poured another drink.

In the morning, the soldiers moved in a row and woke Evangeline from sleep. She was used to the noise of this cluttered hallway. Even when he was in the palace, whenever there was an official event, the hallway where the servants came and went had this kind of atmosphere. Even though the appearance was different, it seemed that the grievances of the subordinates did not change.

Evangeline lazily stretched her body, removed the comic books from her bed, and left her room. Just in time, a basin filled with warm water for washing your face was waiting in front of the door. After she had bitten off all the dwarf attendants who asked if she needed anything more, she dipped her face into the basin and sat gaily.

“Uh…”

After a while, she got up again, rubbing her sore neck. The dwarf attendant who had come in to pick up her towel was staring at Evangeline with a mysterious expression. She asked, tying her hair to her.

“What you looking at? Get out.”

“Yes!”

The dwarf attendant left only a towel with a very friendly attitude. When she had changed her clothes and made her preparations, the King and the Treasurer were closely seated in the carriage. Next to it was Evangeline’s carriage, which she had originally planned to ride with Lucius, so she had plenty of room for two. Evangeline leaned back in her chair and looked at the Chancellor and the King. The Minister of Finance clung to the king like his leech and was stroking his thigh. The king forced a smile in front of the treasurer, but he looked down at the treasurer with a bug-eyed expression whenever she looked away from her.

Evangeline said.

“Let’s go. You are the Dwarf King.”

“Yes. Okay. Mo, everyone, let’s go!”

The wagon started moving toward the scene. The Minister of Finance was spilling various stories to the king. The main story was about what the two of them were going to do tonight, and what they were looking forward to getting themselves for their next birthday. They were talking in a low enough voice that would be considered polite according to social norms, and it was entirely due to Evangeline’s keen ears that she was listening to this conversation.

She turned her head and looked around, and saw the tutor at the end of her retinue. She was stroking her long beard and riding in a small carriage. Following Evangeline’s gaze and turning her head, the Treasurer and Queen asked the King.

“Your majesty. But why did you invite the tutor to such an event?”

“Since you are a person with a wide range of knowledge and experience in your own way, I called you because I thought it would be helpful. That… Kitten.”

Evangeline held back her laughter and stretched her arms across the carriage and shook her head. Terrible traces of what is presumed to be the scene of the incident began to appear in the distance. Evangeline had seen a valley like that in her previous life. It is said to be a very famous valley in America, but it was torn and smashed to reveal ugly soil, just like the plains of the Dwarven Kingdom.

“I’m here.”

Hearing the polite words of the Dwarf King, Evangeline stood up again. She was about to give her signal right away, but she looked around and saw no signs of evil, no suspicious wizards. After examining the situation a bit more, she decided to call Lucius.

“How is it?”

“Wait. You said the undead came from this direction, right?”

Evangeline got out of her carriage and looked across the plain. Seen with the naked eye, there was no particularly evil magic in this place. I could feel her demonic magic of her, but most of it belonged to her demonic terre of her, which she knew. Evangeline asked.

“What, did you shoot an energy wave here?”

“During the fire test, Theoter threw a stone.”

“Did the undead crawl out of the mound where the stones were thrown? Or did you come from outside the ruins?”

“That, we don’t understand. All we know is reports that undead have been seen walking around here.”

Evangeline clicked her tongue. She opened the subspace and took out several colorful magic stones.

“Damn. This is a little bothersome.”

As she tossed the magic stone in her hand upward, she scattered across the scene of great destruction. As the magic stones stuck in different directions emitted light and connected to each other, a square was drawn. Both the king and the Minister of Finance were amazed at the extensive magic and exclaimed. Evangeline twitched the corners of her mouth, elated for nothing at the enthusiastic response behind her.

“What this is, is shape memory magic. By analyzing the traces of magical energy left on the land, we reproduce and show what happened before a specific magical action occurred.”

As she snapped her fingers, the bluish light particles converged and began to shape the ground again. Seeing the blue particles filling the collapsed soil, a curious soldier ran forward and put his foot in it. However, since this was an illusion to the end, the soldier who put his foot in his was staggered and tumbled into a mound of dirt.

“I’m sorry.”

Evangeline laughed at the fallen soldier. The soldier was not seriously injured because the slope of her fall her was gentle, but her face her was stained red and she was busy getting out of the scene again. Said Evangeline.

“Now, let’s go back to how it looked right before the explosion.”

As she waved her hand, strange shapes began to form over the green meadow. The soldiers, the king, and the minister of finance both frowned and looked at the figure.

“Keep it off…!”

The moment one of the figures opened its mouth and let out a strange scream, everyone realized they were undead. One of the startled attendants screamed in disbelief.

“Quaaaaa

Soldiers hurriedly raised their weapons to protect the King and the Minister of Finance. Evangeline waved her hand again, feeling sorry for her. Then the horrible screams disappeared.

“Sorry. I forgot to turn the sound off. It’s been a long time since I wrote this.”

As she waved her hand, she saw the figures of monsters now moving silently. At the center of the monsters was a strange-looking wizard. He had the appearance of an undead, and his face was skinny. In his hand his was a staff used to control the undead, with a large magic stone embedded in its tip.

Said Evangeline.

“I think this guy controlled it with that one. And, this guy is now…”

Evangeline carefully began manipulating the screen. A cannonball landed on the side of the wizard’s head as she was moving forward. The wizard, who had been thrown into a corner by the cannon, was screaming in an awkward manner. People who were relaxed laughed at the scene as if they were watching a comedy movie. Even Evangeline couldn’t help but laugh at the miserable appearance of the wizard.

Then, the wizard saw something and stood up as if started and deployed his shield. Fierce sparks were bouncing from the shield, destroying the screen itself. Evangeline paused for a moment before speaking.

“They threw stones, so that seems to be the case.”

After the wizard’s figure was shattered, Evangeline cut her video and retrieved her magic stones. When the video suddenly cut off and a desolate plain appeared, all her dwarves sighed in regret. Evangeline said.

“What is the conclusion… Is that it? That Mr. Shioter threw a stone and killed the ringleader. It was over before we got here.”

“I’m glad.”

“Whoops, I was really scared.”

The Minister of Finance did not miss this opportunity and acted like a charm to the king. The King smiled awkwardly and hugged the Minister of Finance.

“So, is it over now?”

Evangeline asked. Hearing her question her, the king nodded her head.

“Yes. It’s over. By the way, since you’ve come this far, let’s take a little rest. I prepared a simple side dish, so I thought you came to a picnic…”

“Ah thank you.”

Evangeline said so and jumped back into her carriage. She then raised her head and looked at the treasurer. The Treasurer and Queen were still clinging to the King with a friendly face. The king’s eyes were on the tutor. The Minister of Finance, who had smiled at the king several times, moved his gaze to the tutor, and with a slightly depressed expression, he said to the king:

“I have a headache for a while. I will go to the shade and rest.”

“Let it be. Instead of finance. No… That…”

The Minister of Finance did not listen to the king’s next words and walked toward the shade of the tree. The king walked to the tutor without even seeing the minister of finance go with a few soldiers. Evangeline suddenly felt sorry for the Minister of Finance.
