War Tribe. The tension that started from their first visit was largely resolved by the apology from the war tribe and its acceptance. However, the revelation of the truth about the war tribe's "prophecy" brought more anxiety than relief. After all, they said they were extracting information from the "collective consciousness of the dark demons" through the corpses of the dark demons. Moreover, the information about me might have been intentionally distorted. This might be a different opinion if the war tribe had knowledge about my Door of Wizardry. There is also a possibility that the "collective consciousness of the dark demons" confused the corridor that calls the dark demons, the "focal point", with my Door of Wizardry. If possible, I would like to provide information from my side and grasp the situation accurately at some point, with the help of Miko or Kambelis. To do that, I need to strengthen the friendly relationship with the war tribe. When I proposed to visit the war tribe's base... their term for it is "lodging", Miko girl was very happy. Rather, she said, "I would like to borrow your insight, wizard-sama, to verify the truth of the prophecy." The war tribe's top priority is this, no matter what. After all, the credibility of the prophecy of Miko, who they entrusted their fate to, is shaken from the root. To improve this situation, they have no choice but to invite outsiders to their "lodging", according to the intention of the war tribe's elders council. ...That's what Kambelis told me, but I feel like…

“Ah, there she is, the ‘elf beauty’!” “Yagi, you think we players will accept any unreasonable request if you throw an elf beauty at us?” “Hmm. So you’re going to refuse her request?” “Of course not, you idiot.” It was nostalgic. The scene of playing “D&B” more than twenty years ago came back to my mind. I forgot what the request was, but I can’t forget Yagi’s smug face (although we didn’t have such a term back then). At that time, it was a kind of aesthetic that “players would accept requests from elf beauties”. But when I actually see a real elf beauty in front of me… Well, I can’t blame them. “The war tribe’s priestess”, “the true elf”, “the woman who preserves knowledge”. The girl with three names was that captivating. It wasn’t just that she was beautiful or cute. Her eyes, her voice, her figure, they all exuded a charm and allure that stirred up my protective instinct. This might be what they call a “charm spell” in the original sense. I’ve seen enough adult service ladies as a middle-aged working man, but this is something else. If I hadn’t remembered Yagi’s smug face, I might have been as dazed as Sedam next to me. “To explain the situation of this blunder, I need to tell you how we perform prophecies.” The priestess said with a voice that was strangely soothing to my brain. …This is not the time to be enchanted. I felt the tension return, and I secretly swallowed my saliva. “…That’s very interesting. Please,…

"It's been a while. Wizard." A gruff voice echoed in the main hall of the tower. Warlord Kanbelis. As usual, he was clad in a flamboyant crimson armor adorned with lavish decorations. He had removed his demonic mask and helmet, revealing his rugged face. He looked bitter, but there was no reaction from [Detect Enemy], a skill that could see through hostility. "Yes, it's good to see you're both well." I sat at the head of the hall and nodded magnanimously. On my left and right were Claura and Sedam, and a step below them was Irudo. Behind me was Leiha. The war tribe members standing in front of me were Kanbelis, two warriors as his guards, a person covered in a robe, and Leid. He was also wearing the war tribe's armor, but unlike his superior, he had a tight-lipped expression of irritation. "I'm grateful that you left the warrior chiefs behind. Thank you." "That's good to hear. We've also received reports. Especially in Filsand... you did a great job there." He was referring to the incident where I defeated the Legion of Dark Demons and captured the Demonist, a dark demon worshipper, in Filsand. Of course, I assumed he had heard the story from Leid. That meant that they also knew the fact that the Demonist, who had infiltrated the Shulz tribe, had said the same thing as the prophecy that the war tribe's priestess had received. "I owe it to the warrior chief and his comrades. ...Well." I tried to keep a calm face as much as…

A few days had passed since the meeting with the knight commander at the White Sword Castle. Nox, the young man who had gone to Lelis City to procure food, returned with numerous wagons loaded with meat and grains. Irudo was very impressed by how well Nox, who used to be a simple village boy, had handled the job in the city. Other than that, the situation at Jiiteias Castle seemed to be getting on track. The former magic soldier candidates ― no, I should just call them my disciples by now ― were working hard on extracting the “Water Element” from herbs while taking classes from Professor Torad. The alchemy hut was also completed, and the day when we could start making potions was getting closer. Lord Elmer Luke Sandall, the martial arts advisor, was eagerly instructing the soldiers who had the motivation. Jiruk took care of the training necessary for unit actions, such as marching, camping, and formation, while Lord Sandall taught the skills related to individual combat. By dividing the tasks between them, the training seemed to be much more efficient. Especially, Lend, the young man, was constantly asking Lord Sandall for guidance. He was very reliable. As for the security of Jiiteias Castle and the trade route, we arranged for the castle soldiers and the Shulz tribe warriors to take turns in guarding. The clinic for Saria, who was appointed as a medical officer, was also being built at a rapid pace by the dwarves. She immediately visited the “Medicine Village” and secured a large number…

I was visiting the White Sword Castle, the headquarters of the Carbanera Knights. It had been 10 days since I went to greet them right after returning from Filsand. "Ha ha ha! Ha ha ha! Come on, wizard! One more round!" "Please, please!" I had some business with the knight commander, but now I was in the courtyard. I was caught by the Carbanera siblings, Gillion and Lioria, and asked to be their training partner as usual. Of course, I didn't face them directly, but used the ogres I created with [Create Ogre Platoon]. "Grrr!" "Hmph!" "Wow." Currently, Gillion and an ogre were fighting one-on-one. I was impressed by how well Gillion deflected the ogre's club attack with his shield. "Raaah!" "Grrr!?" The ogre lost its balance and leaned forward as its club was diverted by the shield. Gillion's sword slashed across the ogre's exposed torso. "Gaaah." The ogre knelt down. Gillion's attack was definitely sharper than before, as it inflicted so much damage in one blow. "Die, you bastard!" "Hey, hey. That's enough, that's enough!" I hurriedly stopped Gillion from swinging his sword down on the ogre's neck. Even if it was a monster I made with a simple spell, I didn't feel good seeing it killed in front of me. "Haha! I did it! How about that, wizard!?" "Yeah, you've improved a lot." "What do you mean? It's not that much! After all, I'm a Carbanera knight! Hahaha!" Gillion was like a child who was having fun. He had a funny charm when I got used to him.…
