Chapter 425 - Episode Seventy-One - Destroyer from Ancient Times Moebius (1)

I decided to start interrogating Olviga, moving around with my wooden dragon, and surrounded him with Ortems.
He is the king of the High Elves, even if he is a rotten one.
I don’t know how serious he really is, though he’s obeying me right now.
There is a good chance that he will betray me on the way. There’s no better way than to be wary.
Olviga sat upright on the floor and turned his head to look at the Ortems surrounding him, then looked back at me.
“…… You said that you wanted to ask something about the oracle. But don’t expect to get any useful information. The oracle of Lord Silfheim is a kind of prophecy that comes to some of us High Elves from the thoughts of Lord Silfheim. But it is fragmented and abstract, and we do not have the full picture. Do you understand?
“Enough with the preamble, tell me what the oracle told you.”
“The oracle told us to be careful that the Marren brat do not enter the sky country Alfheim …… That’s all. There is nothing you can expect from me. Now, if you’ve got it figured out, you’d better let me go. The more you take with you, the more hatred you will incur from the sky country Alfheim ……”
Olviga says plainly.
“That Ortem can also be used as a lie detector, would you like to try it? The method of identification is a bit extreme, and your face may change shape, though.”
“…… Now that I think about it, “A spirit in human form will appear with a Doom woman and you must invite them into your country”. Also, there was an oracle that said, “The never-ending Moon Festival Dinmei will begin and the High Elves will overcome the earth. Hasten your preparation for war”.
That’s insanely specific, isn’t it ……?
He was going to cut us loose and let us pass if he could get away with it.
…… However, perhaps the oracle of the sky god Silfheim is also a fabrication of Count Julem.
Falsely claiming to be a god to control the people and trying to start a war is exactly the same as what happened with the fake Levi.
“N, now, I’ve been honest with you! Let me go!”
“…… Did that spirit and the Doom girl visit this place as per the oracle?”
“Y-, yes, they did. They appeared to me as well. The spirit was a short woman …… and I didn’t realize she was a spirit until she revealed herself to me. The Doom woman seemed to be unconscious, though.”
A short, female ……
The only one who fits the bill in Count Julem’s group is Shame, who tricked me into kidnapping Mea and making off with the sealed Sim.
…… It’s time to settle the score with her as well.
“So, where did the spirit go?”
“That is …… I’m not sure where they went, since they quickly disappeared. But I think there was some kind of clue ……”
I raised my wand.
The Ortems are approaching Olviga.
“Th-The Oracle! The oracle says they’re on their way to the magical tree Alverut!!
The magic tree Alberut is the symbol of the sky country Alfheim, that ridiculously large tree.
I’ll just have to head there.
I have a suspicion that Count Julem is faking it because Olviga is too unreliable, but at this point we have no other choice.
But I’d like to see the information corroborated, if possible.
“The magic tree Alberut is too big. Where are they exactly? And what’s the point of going to the magical tree Albert? There’s got to be a purpose, right?”
“We-Well …… that’s as far as I know ……”
When I tried to raise my wand, Olviga let out a short scream and shrank back.
“I, I don’t know what I don’t know! That’s right! Why don’t you just use that wooden puppet lie detector to find out! If I really know the purpose of the spirit’s journey to the magical tree Alberut!”
“Listen, Olviga, there is no such useful function in the Ortem.”
“You have plotted against me! Don’t you dare insult me!”
Olviga’s face turned red and he punched the floor.
I catch Olviga by the tip of my wand.
Olviga quickly pulled her hand back to hide it, and then smiled flatteringly.
He’s desperate.
“If you don’t know, think! You’ve lived for 10,000 years and you have the knowledge!”
“How arrogant of you! Forgive me …… I’ve spent most of my 10,000 years sitting on a throne, frolicking with beautiful women …… Think about it, Marren, what do you expect from me?”
H, He suddenly becomes despicable.
This guy, he thoroughly doesn’t have any pride, huh.
Is he really a High Elf?
At that time, a deafening roar came from far in the sky.
I turned my eyes to see that the moon din had grown incredibly large.
It was occupying a corner of the sky. I was under the illusion that it might fall to the ground.
“And, will the moon din get this close to ……?”
As I looked up, Olviga’s expression changed.
“This feeling must be Lord Silfheim’s magic, calling the stars to this land! I’m sure that that spirit …… after receiving Silfheim’s command is exercising magic near the top of the magical tree Alberut, the closest tree to the Moon Din! That’s right, that must be it!”
…… Is this the same magic that caused Olviga to drop the meteorite?
“If that’s the case, then it must be the Old Gods Temple in the magical tree Alverut! If we head to the top, we should be able to see it right away!”
“There’s a building like that on top of a magical tree? As expected, It must be ridiculously big.”
“Now, I’ve told you everything I know that’s useful! Now let me go!”
I shook my head.
“No, I’m afraid you’ll have to follow me.”
“W-What!”
“You don’t even have your wand with you right now, do you? I don’t have the time to bring you all the way down to the ground. If I could knock you down, I would do it in a heartbeat, though ……”
“Being cocky just because I’m below you! You short-lived, lowly creature! Even I have reached my limit of endurance!”
Olviga makes a fist and stands up.
I pointed my wand at Olviga.
“But I’ll hold out a little longer!”
Olviga sat there quietly.
