Book 18 Chapter 23
Episode 140
“Roso de kashi o fitthe ta num”
The sound quality was blurry due to the sandstorm, but Friede's prodigious linguistic talent clearly understood that voice.
‘The language of the bloodline is even more complex than Naga’s, but since their vocal organs aren’t significantly different from humans, speaking and listening are actually easier!’
Friede immediately pressed the send button on the transceiver and relayed the answer to Lynn and Ryuminique.
[Boke kathis ra dihasama o batte sitta run za]
Ryuminique is an airhead!
Even when spoken to so kindly and clearly, she can't understand or convey it properly!
[Ugh, this airhead seriously! Lynn, you're the only one I can trust!]
Lynn is full of eccentricity, but his intelligence is genius-level, to the extent that Friede acknowledges it. Taking down something of this level verbatim would be no problem.
“Hahahahahaha……”
Huh.
“Ohohohohohohoho……”
Eh?
“Hohohohohohohoho……”
But what kind of madness is this!
Far from relaying it, the boy was laughing with his fist propped on his chin, just as he had been doing for two days.
No, wasn't he laughing even louder and more joyfully than before!
[Th-this can’t be! Lynn must have gone crazy!]
[He's been in that kind of sandstorm for two days… What should we do, Friede?]
[I need to go save him immediately. Link, how long would it take your legs to get there?]
Couldn't he hear his comrades' urgent tremors?
Indeed!
It wasn't because he was too engrossed in the current situation. It was because he wasn't wearing the transceiver.
- Is it really right to compromise and achieve the [Strongest Mage] bucket list with such a tool?
- Kyuwooong!
- Yes, absolutely not! You can't become the [Strongest Mage] through compromise. It's important to achieve this bucket list with your own power alone.
- Kyu? Kyukkyut? Kyuwooong!
- Shut up, I always follow the path I set. That's who I am. You want this too, you bastard.
Lynn!
This truly insane madman!
He had removed the transceiver before being deployed on the mission, amidst such thoughts!
“Hahahahahaha……”
Therefore, what the bloodline was saying was nothing more than noise left by the sandstorm to Lynn.
He just didn't know what they were saying!
That's why he was laughing. Even as he thought to himself, ‘Hmm, I think I'm a little screwed…'
[Wait, everyone! Doesn't Lynn have a brilliant idea?]
There was one 'true madman' who always interpreted such eccentricity positively: Rista.
[Let's trust him and wait! It's Lynn, after all!]
No, you shouldn't trust him.
The two bloodline members were glaring at Lynn with narrowed eyes. It was a truly volatile situation.
Soon, the bloodline members opened their mouths. Friede immediately interpreted it!
“What is that utterly elegant laugh…?”
“Hahahahahaha……”
“Stop it! Cease that contemptuous laugh, which means, ‘Don’t you know we were waiting for you here?’… You arrogant fellow, I’ve never seen you before, what is your hierarchy?”
“Hahahahahaha…!”
“Kuh, this guy! To express ‘How trivial to try and divide ranks by hierarchy’ with just that one laugh… I can tell he’s a person of immense dignity!”
Something, something is strange…
Friede stared blankly.
Something, something is happening, but no matter how I look at it, it feels like the whole world is deceiving me, what is it?
‘This is Lynn's brilliant idea?’
No, this guy is just crazy as usual, isn't he?
“Hmm.”
At that moment, Ryuminique, unable to overcome her boredom, began doing one-finger push-ups.
“Huh!”
“Y-you!”
Then the bloodline members, those bloodline members of noble dignity, dismounted from their palanquins and prostrated themselves on the sand!
“We are sorry for not recognizing you, Lord Gijass! We thought you were that pitiful girl Ibika, who lives among human society and cannot eat human flesh, and so we…!”
“We were searching for you by order of Viscount Lephatra! Your contact was cut off, and he was extremely worried about you…!”
“If you are here, then that boy must be the successor Lord Gijass said he would bring to the coming coming-of-age ceremony!”
At that moment, Svall flew to the relay station. And wasn't he carrying transceivers in both his feet, which, according to the plan, should have been in Lynn's ears!
[Kyu, Kyuw, Kyuwuu.]
Seeing that, Friede placed the transceiver from his ear onto the table.
[Ohohoho.]
Just as she seemed to be smiling brightly, Nils barely stopped her from smashing the transceiver with her fist!
[You crazy shrine maiden, don't you know how precious this artifact is!]
[Let go, let go! The world is deceiving me right now! I'll end this play of deception with my own hands!]
