Episode 213. Kill the Dragon.
I know what the giant tree the red-haired girl is talking about is.
However, I was too reckless to trust this girl’s words and reach that place.
Ragnarok, the center of the World Tree guarded by Ordin.
And the world that lies above it, a world that has not yet been reached by human power.
‘Asgard’
Although we have heard stories about it, no one knows whether it actually exists or not. Archmage Brunhild, who was sleeping soundly on my shoulder, also didn’t know the truth about him.
Let alone trying to climb the World Tree, she couldn’t even reach the top of the tower.
“Student, I think it would be better to just ignore that perverted woman. Even if there really is that hourglass on top of the World Tree… . No, I’m not sure if it exists or not, but there’s no need to spend time there, right?”
I also did not have much different opinions from my teacher Siegfried.
If what the red-haired girl said was true, it would be a great help to me, but on the contrary, if it was a lie, a made-up story, or Ordin sent this person to deceive me, it would be a huge blow.
‘Because even tearing Amon apart before my eyes could have been an act.”
But I couldn’t ignore the offer to show me the way to the top of the World Tree.
Even if what she said was false, it was a chance to go and see what was there.
Memories of the three dragons that remain in my mind right now, and memory fragments of the existence of the owner of the tower that I was unaware of until now. Even if you put all these facts together, it was an area where you could obtain unknown information, so how could you ignore it?
After thinking for a while, I accepted her offer.
Instead, on the condition that only I head to the World Tree and the others protect the Legion.
“Then it’s good for me! “I also didn’t want to be with that little fish-looking guy.”
Rox looked at the red-haired girl with an unpleasant expression.
“Damn, put on your proper clothes and talk. “What woman in the world wears panties over her pants?”
“… “Isn’t this what you wear?”
“Of course not! Ha, ok, that’s it. “I’m just glad I didn’t end up with it on my head.”
“Hey, man. “If I don’t know, you can tell me. Why are you so angry?”
“How can you not be angry? “Think carefully about what you did to me.”
As I listened to the two of them, my head naturally tilted to the side. It’s hard to believe that a red-haired girl who just a little while ago had a slurred speech and couldn’t speak proper sentences could use human language so fluently.
‘So you’ve been acting this whole time?”
There is absolutely no reason for that.
She didn’t imitate a monster; she called herself human from the beginning. If she had tried to act stupid, it would have shown in her conversation, not her tone. That doesn’t seem to be the case either, as she clearly stated her intentions from the beginning.
“You suddenly speak well?”
“I learned it from you.”
“Learn from me?”
“Yes, I saw you talking to Verdin. I learned how to do the same.”
“… What does that mean? “So you’re just copying what I say?”
“Yes, that’s right.”
After listening, I realized that the words used by Rox and the red-haired girl were similar. The conversation they had lasted only about an hour, but does this mean that during that time, they listened to the other person’s story and made it their own?
Before that, what exactly is that girl?
I broke off their conversation and asked carefully.
“What is your name?”
“me? “I told you I had no name.”
Judging by the reaction, it doesn’t seem like they’re hiding it, but it really doesn’t exist.
“Then do you mind if I build one for you?”
“My name?”
“… Well, if you want to do that, you can do it. “Why do you need a name?”
“If you want to be with me in the future, we need to have a name to call you so we can recognize each other.”
The red-haired girl smiled brightly, looked at me, and answered.
“Okay, I’d like you to give me a beautiful name instead.”
“Beautiful name?”
“huh! “A name like Verdandi that can be read softly no matter who says it!”
I didn’t try to think that deeply.
Since we had to use full names to go on a trip together, I tried to give her a name like ‘Red Ribbon’ to remind her of the red-haired girl. How can you set the condition of being ‘beautiful’?
I also want the same level as my mother’s name.
After looking at her eyes and thinking for a while, I spoke carefully.
“Valkyrie.”
“Valkyrie?”
“Yes, you are Valkyrie. “It’s the name of a guardian knight who guarded God’s side a long time ago.”
“… “Valkyrie, not bad?”
Because it is a name created by the author God, who was called great.
I heard that at that time, the name Valkyrie was not referred to by one person, but by the entire army that protected it. Honestly, it was so long ago that no one remembers it, so it could be used this way.
‘Because only I will know her name anyway.’
Valkyrie smiled as if she was in a good mood and came close to me.
“My name is Valkyrie.”
“Okay, now your name is Valkyrie. “If anyone asks, please answer like that.”
“Then shall we go now? I don’t know how long it takes to get to the top. “I need to get back here as quickly as possible.”
“Don’t worry about that. “After all, there are people who will help us on the way to the top of the World Tree.”
“Help us?”
“Yes, you will find out if you get halfway to the World Tree anyway.”
As we talked, I couldn’t help but feel a sense of admiration.
If she can have such a fluent conversation in just over an hour, it’s hard to imagine the extent of her talent.

‘If you look at it, it’s good.’
This means that communication has become much easier.
I lightly waved my hand and ordered Rox.
“It won’t take long, so just hold on until then.”
“… “What if Baphomet returns?”
“Ask me to wait a moment. “If you tell me you’ve found the way to the top of the tower, they’ll buy you some time.”
“okay. But will he believe this?”
“I wouldn’t be able to endure it if I didn’t believe it. No, it’s not a lie, so I have no choice but to believe it.”
Of course, as long as there is a condition that Valkyrie’s words are not lies.
With this conversation, I left the Legion, and Valkyrie led me in the direction of the World Tree, as she had been waiting for this moment.
“Verdin, don’t be surprised. “The giant tree is full of really dangerous guys!”
Tristan, one of the commanders of the Imperial Corps.
The people and soldiers of the Legion he led all safely arrived at the royal capital.
As soon as this news reached the palace, the princes who were preparing for the succession to the throne desperately wanted to reach him. As soon as Tristan arrived in the royal capital, he reported what had happened in the Legion and met the princes who were looking for him.
The two women were able to enter the royal capital while avoiding the eyes of others.
Cynthia and Theresia found lodgings in a small tavern near the great river that passed through the royal capital.
“It seems that the imperial army is not paying attention to us, so why not take this opportunity to handle the matter that Verdin asked? “Theresia.”
Cynthia asked cautiously as she closed the window of her dorm. Maria Theresa did not judge hastily and thought about it.
‘Can we really move from here now?’
Although he is staying under the pretext of helping the imperial army and moving the people to the royal capital, if the prime ministers find out that two people from the Pope’s Office came in without permission, it is certain that uncomfortable stories will arise.
If something goes wrong, you could be taken to the palace and suffer harsh hardships.
“ha… . I’m looking forward to it. “How many knights will accuse me of this!”
Cynthia put her hands together, prayed for a moment, and then asked again.
“Shall we go carry out the operation?”
“I will do that. “But let’s get started when it gets a little darker.”
“Are you saying we should move at night?”
“you’re right. “There is a map anyway, so you don’t have to get lost, and since you move through the underground waterway, you don’t have to get caught by the imperial army.”
“Would it be okay? “At night, monsters may roam the underground waterway.”
“I believe Miss Cynthia will be able to solve that problem.”
“Me?!”
“Yes, if it’s a monster that can break through the royal capital’s barrier, there will be one of two. Was I so weak that I couldn’t even feel the energy? Or is it said to be strong enough to pass through the barrier?”
“If it’s a weak monster, you can subdue it using force. “If we are too strong to deal with, the imperial army will step in.”
In fact, there are more than one person in the royal capital who knows how to use Aurors, and even if it is an underground waterway deep underground, if the movement of a powerful person is felt enough to shatter the barrier, the imperial army will be dispatched.
“All right. Then we move as soon as it gets dark.”
“Miss Cynthia, please take a break before then. “You haven’t been able to sleep at all lately, have you?”
“I’m okay, but I’m tired and my face is swollen.”
“This is the royal capital that is said to be the safest on the entire continent. So don’t worry and just take a nap for a while.”
Without disarming Theresia, Cynthia looked alternately at the window and the door, then sat down carefully on a chair and answered her.
“Then let me close my eyes for a moment.”
“How about lying down and sleeping? “There are two beds anyway.”
“no. “No matter how royal it is, you never know what might happen if you relax.”
“… I knew. “Then I will pray for a moment.”
The two finished their conversation and spent some time with each other.
Cynthia closed her eyes in her chair, holding the handle of her sword to prepare for the enemy who might appear at any moment.
Maria Theresa folded her hands on the bed, looked at the ceiling, and recited a prayer.
This was a really short period of time.
So much so that a thirsty child drinks a glass of water from a glass. However, this moment produced unexpected results for the two.
Amon, the tower’s apostle, cut through the space without being noticed and flew his staff towards Theresia’s heart while she was praying.
Cynthia jumped up from her seat and pulled out her sword. But she was already too late to take care of the situation.
The staff had already pierced Theresia’s heart, and Amon looked down at Cynthia, who had a despairing expression, and quietly monologued.
“The song is over. Now the glory of God will not come down to you. Let us quietly await the destruction of humanity.”
