Chapter 39 Momonga's New Journey, Imperial Exposition
Mordred interrupted Momonga's thoughts: "So, now we continue to explore this country that looks mysterious from the outside but is mysterious from the inside?"
Momonga thought for a while, and there didn't seem to be many options to get clues immediately, so he said, "Well... Anyway, let's turn back and take a look."
If we turn back and see Tilini again, we may be ridiculed or even hostile, but because of this, we have the opportunity to obtain more information. If it turns into a battle, it will be simple and clear.
However, when they went back, they could no longer find the small foreign-style building with a garden, not even a trace of it.
"Illusion? But there are no traces of illusion." Momonga's heart tightened. He scanned Tilini's level. If an opponent of that level casts illusion, he wouldn't be able to see through it, or something that couldn't use the "Yggdrasil" system.
The special ability of force awareness?
"Hey, Momonga, come and see this!" Mordred pointed at a few trees and waved to Momonga.
"Look, some of the jungles in this area are much sparser than when we came here. Moreover, the relative distance of the 'signposts' I made on the trees has changed, and the overall distance has become longer."
At this moment, Momonga was a little dumbfounded and said: "That is... this is what this place is like. To welcome us, Tilini removed the surrounding trees and built a temporary real house. After we left, they demolished these general houses."
The forest can be restored? Such a thing can be done."
Don't be too ridiculous.
For what purpose? If they want to be hostile, there should be better means, but it seems too troublesome to just make fun of them.
Momonga and Mordred still don't know that they were poisoned twice by Tilini.
"But one thing can be confirmed." Mordred looked at the relative position changes on the tree and said, "This country may really not want any outsiders to enter their real territory. Indeed, this is also consistent with most types of goblins.
Habit?"
It would be better to say that it is a bit strange that goblins would provide religious and social medical benefits, at least that was the case in the world a hundred years ago. But the Kingdom of Titania and the Goblin Temple have existed for so many years, so it is not strange in the eyes of the world.
"I see... that's it. Let's go, follow the way out that Tilini showed us." Momonga said.
"Oh, Momonga is pretty cool this time."
"If we were in the middle of an endless battle, I would definitely not make this decision. But their intentions are so clear, and it would not be good for us to continue to struggle. It doesn't matter, this visit is just an exploration like the past.
If there is someone who has been spying secretly and is harmful to me, then we can attack him. Well, the same goes for Mordred, who has a clear enemy."
"So, what about the future itinerary? As usual, you decide."
"Well, since you are here to accompany me this time, then I will be the one to accompany you next time." Momonga decided to say.
……………………………………………………
It would be very easy for the administrative goblins and high-level goblins of Titania to be mobilized. There is no need to ask why. It is simply that space magic is really, really cheating as a means of movement.
However, for a while, none of them returned to the Kingdom of Titania to preside over the issue against Momonga and Mordred.
First, when the Dream Sisters and single-digit sequence Alice and Midori who were stationed in Titania faced those two, the chances of winning in a team battle were not small. At most, it would depend on how much damage they would cause to the country's jungle and the subsequent needs.
It’s a question of resurrecting or reinventing several people.
Secondly, another major bad incident occurred in the empire, which was holding various activities related to war victory!
Why do you say "again"?
Just as Momonga and Mordred were being treated to the poisonous refreshments and saying goodbye, the Bahas Empire, Imperial Capital Owentar——
This day is the time when the empire holds the "Cultural Exchange Expo".
The empire even prepared a lot of transparent brackets and boards in advance. The day before the expo started, sheds were set up overnight along the empire's widest street connecting several squares. Together with the booths and exhibits, a large number of architectural magic casters were gathered there.
Finished.
It is said to be a "cultural exchange expo", but it is actually an event where empires and countries take out things that they are proud of, such as weapons, magic props, handicrafts, industrial products and works of art to show off their national power. But other countries can show off their national power in a short period of time.
What was prepared within a short period of time is definitely not as good as the Empire which started preparing at the beginning of the peace talks. To sum it up in one word, it was the Empire's pretentious exhibition.
Crounpis specially dyed her hair pink today, tied it into a double ponytail, and prepared a new hat and clothes - so that she would not be recognized by the so-called believers who like to pretend not to recognize her and pretend to suggest rewards in front of her.
Already?
Now the appearance of Crounpisi is no different from that of an elf - if there really is an elf with a pair of pink ponytails.
But as long as she walks arm-in-arm with the silver-haired "half-elf" Shiro Otohime with heterochromatic eyes, she looks harmonious and pleasing to the eye.
"It feels a bit like Britain and Ottoman Turkey in the early 20th century. Is it an illusion?" Bai Yiji glanced at the square where the exhibits were displayed with her white eyes and asked.
"No, I don't think this is an illusion. Although I think it should be in a Byzantine style, or a mosque? It seems that there is even a Renaissance." Crounpis picked up an undead assembly line and made it look gaudy.
small workbench, said.
However, the short "elf" holding a workbench larger than himself with one hand was unsightly and not in line with the rules of the visit. Crounpis felt it was a bit eye-catching and put it down. After all, it attracts attention in the wrong situation.
It will only cause trouble, even if the trouble is just dust that can be lightly dusted off, who would take the initiative to eat the dust for fun?
"Is that a music box? Can it also play songs?" Bai Yiji asked, pointing to a row of various boxes that could play songs.
“Isn’t it common knowledge that music boxes can play songs?”
"...Although I have never used it, I feel that it is different from the world I have seen before."
"Isn't it amazing? The reason why the music box can only play music originally is because the sound-producing parts are monotonous. If it is processed with magic, it can produce more sounds, so it can also play songs. Of course, this is a price that is not friendly to ordinary people.
.”
"That is to say, it is actually equivalent to MP3, Walkman and the like, right?"
"... Bai Yiji, you actually understand this? It seems to be right." Crounpis picked up a small music box suitable for carrying around, played with it in his hand, and then opened it——
She immediately closed the music box and put it back. Unexpectedly, there was her own Q-version doll inside.
