A super traveler in a peaceful world

As he spoke, An Luo instantly sped up his broom and immediately overtook Irena, who had ignored him since last night and didn't say a word to him. Accompanied by the girl "--ah! !” screamed.

On the contrary, when Irena saw Nino screaming and hugging him, her already bad face became even more gloomy. She couldn't help but gritted her teeth and said: "This guy... clearly said that he can control the broom. The technology is terrible... but now it is good...!"

...

After leaving this country, for Nino's safety, he probably traveled through several countries non-stop. More than a week passed in the blink of an eye, and Nino could finally trust An Luo. It's time to part ways.

"...If you don't know where to go, go to the Peaceful Country. Although peace there is boring, the biggest advantage is peace and tranquility. You can think about what to do in the future there, and... ....." Halfway through, An Luo looked at the woman wearing a mage hat and explained: "This witch lady from the Magic Unification Association will be responsible for sending you there."

"Hello~"

The young witch, who looked to be in her twenties and hired from the Magical Union, smiled and waved to Nino.

"Hello..." Nino greeted subconsciously, and then looked at An Luo nervously like an abandoned puppy: "Master... Lord An Luo, I , I want to stay by your side! I will do anything!"

"You are already sixteen years old. It is almost time for you to learn to live independently and think about your own things. And I... I have to start traveling again."

"——Wife... No, it doesn't matter if you have an underground lover! I will definitely find a way to hide Lady Irena!"

"Uh, I don't have that kind of relationship with Irena, and don't look at yourself in the same old light."

An Luo felt a little headache for this girl who still put her status very low and even offered herself a pillow.

Especially the cold look the witch looked at him made him feel that his image must have become quite bad in the eyes of the other party... although he didn't really care about it.

"But, but...!"

"Okay, okay, it's time for you to start your own free life~"

Even though Nino looked pitiful and unwilling to leave, An Luo still pushed her and pushed her towards the witch who looked at him with very cold eyes.

There is nothing too special, even parting is very common as a traveler. It ends with the reluctant eyes of the girl who has been given free power, and the cold eyes of the witch.

Irena went to a bakery not far away to buy bread. When she came back and saw the girl on the witch's broom, she silently watched her and gave her blessings in her heart for the new life that was about to begin.

...

...

When the witch sent Nino to the Peace Country according to the planned route, far away from the village chief's country, An Luo and Irena stayed in this small country with no characteristics for a day before setting off again.

But even though Nino had left, An Luo and Irena were still sitting on their own broomsticks. It was obvious that Irena's anger... still hasn't subsided.

"Hey, it's been more than a week since this happened. It's time for you to calm down, right? Isn't giving money to others a good deed?"

"....It's okay to give money to others, but the fact that you deliberately used that money to bribe me and let it linger in my hands makes me even more unhappy! Also...don't talk to me! "

The girl sitting sideways on the broom turned her head and looked forward with a cold face, as if she didn't want to talk to him anymore.

"Don't be like this. At worst, I'll pay you five gold coins when you get rich in the future?"

"Is this a matter of five gold coins? This is a matter of you playing tricks on me!"

"Ten?"

".....twenty."

"...Do you really still want money?"

"Isn't it bad to have money?"

The girl turned back dissatisfied and spoke righteously.

In this regard, there was no way to lie to him in this aspect, or there was no point in lying because the other party knew his side of the matter very well. He could only nod in agreement: "No... what you said makes sense. If you have money, very good."

"Huh, that's fine then."

Finally taking advantage, the most important thing was to calm down the girl who was hurt mentally. She raised her head and raised her mouth slightly.

An Luo, who still wanted to talk despite being in a cold war state, saw the girl's proud expression in his eyes and couldn't help but spread his hands and said with a smile: "...Well, as long as you are happy."

"But I won't be happy if you are happy too."

"You are really prejudiced against me."

"That's all your fault."

"I can't deny this, but if I'm happy all the time, why don't you keep a cold face?"

"Then keep a cold face."

"Have you never heard of the saying that a girl who loves to laugh will not have bad luck? So..."

"——I've heard of it, but I've never seen anyone who is unlucky and smiles all day long."

"...Same."

An Luo, who was said to be speechless, simply stopped talking.

Indeed, it is not so much that girls who love to laugh are not unlucky. In fact, girls who are not unlucky all love to laugh... After all, only those who are lucky can laugh, and those who are unlucky have no time to cry. Why should they laugh? Not everyone has a strong Ah Q spirit.

This discovery made him wonder whether he should be nicer to Irena and change his habit of teasing her when he found an opportunity.

.

evening.

The two of them arrived in another new country as planned. They could see the prismatic castle in the distance, which was a bastion that was very expensive to build.

The six-pointed star-shaped fortress city in front of him is an entire country in this world. To say it is big... it is about the size of a town, but the fortifications are quite neat. At least the neat six-pointed star shape of this castle makes Anluo Du I couldn’t help but want to take out my phone and take pictures.

but......

Having just arrived at the edge of the country, they first discovered that something seemed very wrong.

The sky above the huge bastion was filled with black smoke, and from time to time, ash from unknown burning objects fell from the sky. The temperature of the weather seemed to have become a little cold due to the black smoke that filled the entire sky.

Of course, maybe this is not necessarily a cold country... After all, countries in this world are very close to each other but the temperature difference can be huge.

There are no guards guarding the bastion's fully open gate. When you walk through the gate and enter the city, you can see desolation all over the place. It's a city of death just like the words suggest.

The creations spawned by battlefields dominated by old-fashioned artillery in the old era looked very majestic from a distance. Before large-caliber artillery shells were put into battle, dealing with such bastions was quite troublesome, and often only Surround them first and then talk.

But such a beautiful and highly defensive bastion fell, and the city wall remained intact, but the interior...

The buildings that can be seen in front of us have lost their prototypes. Countless ones have collapsed, broken, and shattered. The most intact buildings are also in a semi-destroyed state. There are buildings without roofs, buildings with only skeletons, and buildings that have completely collapsed. A large pile of rubble.

In the ruins of the city, various dilapidated buildings are everywhere. At the same time, black smoke is constantly rising from all over the city, sending the ashes of burning various things into the sky.

Not to mention the people who should be everywhere on the ground, not even a mouse can be found in this city. There are also no birds or insects in the sky, only falling ash.

This scene made Irena frown, glance at An Luo and couldn't help but ask: "Have you heard that this country is experiencing war?"

"No...but it shouldn't be a war."

"Why?"

"It's very simple."

An Luo, who landed on the ground, glanced at the strange atmosphere. The street was so silent that there was no sound except the cold wind and them. He glanced at the blood stains on the wall, and pointed at the place covered with a layer of ashes, but below. There should also be blood-stained roads. He said: "If it was a war, there should be a lot of corpses or human remains here. It can't be so clean... Well, clean may not be the right word, but it's probably That's what I mean."

"Perhaps it has been taken away?"

"No, didn't you notice? Black smoke is rising in all areas of the city. If it is a war, then it is obviously in progress. At least it is still fighting before dawn, and it is a war within the entire city. It was created in a short time The corpses that came out should be piled up like a mountain, no matter what, the speed of the corpse collection team is too fast."

"Do you really know about war...Have you ever been a soldier before? Have you ever fought in a war?"

"No, I just went to the battlefield a few times." An Luo slowly shook his head and suggested: "Compared to this, this city should be attacked by powerful man-eating monsters. If there is no accident, the opponent should be attacking and eating at the same time. So except for some corpses in the room, there is nothing except blood stains in other places, so...if we don’t want to cause trouble, it’s better for us to leave here quickly.”

"Well...what you said does make sense..."

I couldn't help but admire An Luo for thinking of so much at once, but even if her mouth was torn, Irena couldn't possibly say it out.

After worrying for a while, she really wanted to leave, but then she noticed the palace not far away in the center of the city. She couldn't help but have other thoughts. At the same time, she also thought of another possibility, and she frowned again, showing her troubled expression. expression:

"There is no one in the whole city now, and it is so quiet. Those monsters should have left, and there are plains outside with no shelter. If we leave far away from here, we will be discovered by those monsters, right?"

"...This is also a possibility, but until then it will be up to you to protect me."

"Well, I will leave you behind gratefully to buy me time to escape."

"Hey! Isn't this too much?"

"Isn't that how you treat me too much?" The rather vindictive girl glared at him displeasedly, but then quickly turned away and walked ahead, saying without looking back:

"...If the opponent is a monster that can destroy a country, even if I am a witch, I probably won't be an opponent. However, for the sake of delaying the time a little, I still owe you twenty gold coins. I will do it, of course. If there is danger, I will definitely run faster than you. I have to say this."

"Hey~ So you will still help me after all~" An Luo smiled and quickly caught up, poked the side of Irena's face, and teased: "Why do you need to add the idea of ​​running away first when there is danger?" Sure, it would be cuter if you were more frank."

"I'm cute enough. No matter how cute I am, the world will start a full-scale war because of me! And I only care about the twenty gold coins you owe me! But now I regret it! When the monster comes, I will tie you up and feed the monster to delay me. time!"

Irena turned away her face again and said harsh words, but her face turned slightly red. She didn't know if she was angry or something else...but she thought she must be angry, so her cheeks became hot. .

...

...

Since there are plains outside the bastion, and what Irena said is indeed very possible.

Therefore, in order to avoid the tragedy of being seen from a distance by the monster that had left the city on the open plain, and then being chased by the opponent as a matter of course, the two of them had no choice but to spend the night in the bastion.

After all, even if we set out to the nearest town now, even if we don't get lost, we still have to wait until midnight to arrive. Encountering monsters at night will be even worse. It's better to spend the night here and set off tomorrow morning depending on the situation.

and......

When the two came to the gate of the only intact palace in the city, they couldn't help but look at each other.

"...There is no one else in this city besides us, right?" Irena asked knowingly, understanding her little thoughts... And An Luo, who had the same thoughts himself, nodded: "Well, no more."

"So... we can start, right?"

"Don't use lines like "getting started" as if you are doing something bad. These are all unowned things now. We only do it to prevent them from collecting dust, to allow the currency to continue to circulate, to promote the world economy and promote the growth of GDP. Those who go to a deserted palace in search of treasure.”

"...Although I don't quite understand it, I think what you said makes sense, okay! Let's go!"

Encouraged by like-minded companions, Irena completely let go of her little psychological burden, and happily ran forward and pushed An Luo up the castle gate that could be used as a city gate.

However...because An Luo had no work to do, she couldn't move it, so she simply used fire to burn the strong wooden door to ashes.

"Excuse me~"

After whispering something with the excitement of a treasure hunt, Irena took the lead and walked inside, planning to pick out valuable things before An Luo did.

An Luo, who was not very concerned about the situation in front of him, followed him slowly. Before he looked around, he just looked up and saw three quite large life-size paintings hanging directly above the hall of the castle that served as the royal palace.

The top painting in the center is a middle-aged man wearing a crown and holding a sword. At first glance, he is the king. On the lower left is a middle-aged woman who is also wearing a crown and a dress and is obviously the queen. On the lower left is a middle-aged woman dressed in blood-colored clothes. The young woman in the crimson dress... Needless to say, she should be a princess.

"...There is only one child, so it should be a daughter, right? But as a king, he only has one daughter, and he can't even produce a son to succeed him. Isn't his fertility too poor?"

An Luo muttered that he had doubts about the king's ability, but when Irena looked back at her speechlessly, he no longer struggled with this matter, and when he was about to look for anything valuable here...he... He first noticed a line of sight appearing above him, and subconsciously turned his head to look over.

"——?!" The woman who was just about to speak in the corridor on the second floor of the castle was startled by his action of looking over at that moment, but she quickly calmed down and asked in a deep voice: "... Who are you?"

"Ah~ Passing traveler, how about you?"

"I am Mira Rose, the princess of this country."

"Hey~ Princess?"

While he responded casually, he didn't care about the identity of the other princess at all, and looked up and down at the woman who claimed to be a princess.

I have to say that this woman indeed looks exactly like the princess in the portrait...or should be the princess herself, and even her clothes are exactly the same as in the portrait.

She wore a gemstone necklace around her neck and a blood-colored dress. Her long, fluffy black hair had wavy curls that were either natural or permed, and her face was cold and obviously wary of him.

An Luo, who didn't care much about this alert, felt that something was not right with the other party under the guidance of intuition, so he subconsciously used insight on the only woman in the city.

[Name: Mila Rose

Race: human

Characteristics: A princess and witch who cursed her father at the cost of memory, causing him to kill, devour his people, and destroy the country with his own hands. He committed matricide, slaughtered his tribe, treason, and destroyed his country.

Suggestion: Just like a normal witch, you can easily kill the opponent with just a sneak attack. 】

"——Holy shit! Is this so exaggerated?!"

An Luo, who prided himself on being elegant and well-informed, had never seen such a situation before, so he couldn't help but cursed subconsciously.

"What, what's wrong??" Irena was startled when she heard him say dirty words for the first time, and took out her wand reflexively.

The princess Mira Rose above was also shocked, and took out her wand because of Irena's alert action.

Seeing the tension between the two sides, An Luo immediately smiled and waved his hands and said: "It's okay, it's just that I was frightened when I suddenly saw the beautiful woman."

"Seeing a beautiful woman frightened?"
