Episode 54

Such perfect purification power.

‘This is an impossible level for existing purification mages to achieve!’

With this level of purification power, they would be at least a 4-star purification mage.

To such a great figure, the purification-type magical tools they had created would seem crude.

Daspir hastily grabbed the note and entered the room.

He woke up the mercenary Gis and Purification Mage Helen who were sleeping in the same room.

“What’s going on?”

“Why are you suddenly acting like this?”

Unlike him, the two who were morning people showed irritation, but their mood didn’t matter.

“Something incredible has happened.”

“Wh-what?”

Daspir explained the situation incoherently.

“I looked outside and suddenly someone purified that land and left!”

“You’re crazy.”

“Someone purified the land? What kind of nonsense are you talking about?”

“They even left a warning!”

Helen made a serious expression and scanned through the note.

“There is strong energy contained in it. Tremendous energy like an ancient summoned beast.”

Of course.

Cookie was indeed an ancient summoned beast.

“Perhaps some being who considered our purification magical tools trivial wanted to show off their power.”

“Well, if that’s not the case, there would be no reason to purify this flower bed.”

Airi had simply chosen a nearby location because she was a child who couldn’t go far from her room.

As the misunderstanding was snowballing.

There was someone who downplayed the situation as nothing serious, and that was the mercenary, Gis.

“Geez, what are you all doing? Don’t get excited. It’s not even big land, just small land. Maybe someone with bad intentions just pretended…”

Daspir’s previously dull eyes flashed.

“You stupid mercenary. Even small land is hard to purify perfectly! And I saw it! The magic energy was zero!”

Helen also carefully looked outside the window and said.

“Daspir is right. At a glance, it’s soil with no magic energy felt at all.”

Just when everyone was curious about who had purified the land with one heart and mind.

Gis muttered.

“But then, what if we just pretend we used the purification magical tool, take the money and run? There’s no evidence anyway.”

“…Are you insane?”

“We got completely ignored before even operating the magical tool, and if we commit fraud claiming we did what they did, we’ll obviously get screwed!”

Daspir trembled all over.

Cookie’s perceptive arrangement had hit quite an accurate point.

“Oh, come to think of it, where did Duke Becken go? Shouldn’t we inform him?”

“That person.”

“Hmm?”

Helen fumbled with her pocket watch and muttered with a flustered expression.

“He should be in the middle of negotiations to sign the purification magical tool purchase documents right now…”

Instantly, Daspir’s complexion turned pale.

“We need to go tell him right away.”

It would be troublesome if this ‘purification magical tool’ negotiation was concluded.

They didn’t know how that dangerous person who suddenly purified the land and left would react.

And, contrary to his thoughts.

Airi, ‘that dangerous person,’ had temporarily forgotten about going to see her grandfather.

Was it thanks to unexpectedly obtaining the bitter spirit herb?

She had become very happy thinking about making rice cakes with the spirit herb.

Thus, little Airi was dancing a moonlit dance that no one knew about in her room with Cookie.

* * *

Meanwhile, between Duke Betchen and Milligan Former Duke.

At the top floor of the Haunted Castle, humiliating negotiations were taking place.

“Why don’t you stamp it already?”

Duke Betchen, who knew nothing, was pressuring alone.

Milligan, who likewise knew nothing, was also furrowing his brow.

“…I still don’t know.”

“I heard the appropriate time to hatch the summoned beast’s egg ends tomorrow? Tomorrow it will become an ordinary rotten egg.”

Becken crossed his legs and wore a sneer.

Milligan gritted his teeth looking at the humiliating documents that Becken presented again.

But Milligan also knew. He had to sign these documents for even a weak summoned beast to be born.

“…Damn it.”

“If purified, it will probably be able to hatch to about 1-star level. Well, it might rot too. Anyway, let’s try gambling.”

The knight order members he had to protect came to mind in Milligan’s head.

‘Even just a 1-star summoned beast would be a great help.’

No matter how weak, a summoned beast was still a summoned beast.

“Ugh…”

“Hurry up and sign.”

Milligan, who had been listening to Becken’s urging, barely lifted his quill pen.

Finally, just at the moment when Becken’s lips curved up as if drawn.

The raccoon summoned beast that had been majestically moving its fur on Becken’s lap flinched.

And…

“Lord Milligan! Lord Milligaaaaaaan!”

The door burst open with a loud noise.

Milligan, who had been just before signing, looked toward the doorway with an annoyed expression.

“What is it, Calven?”

“Th-that is! Pl-please listen!”

“Never mind that, have your manners completely gone to hell? Even though this guy Becken in front of me is a pathetic fellow with poor character and sense, he’s still a guest inside, so why are you suddenly opening the door and coming in?”

“That’s not what’s important! Please come see this! Quickly! Land with perfectly purified magic energy has appeared! It seems we can hatch the summoned beast’s egg there.”

“…Wh-what. That can’t be?”

Just when only Becken was bewildered, not understanding the situation.

Mercenary Gis, who had followed Daspir, muttered roughly.

“To summarize in one word, Duke Becken, you’ve become the dog that lost the chicken it was chasing.”

* * *

Milligan, who heard the news that ‘purified land had appeared,’ immediately headed there.

A magnificent golden sign was placed over the palm-sized soil for repotting.

[Completely Purified Land – Access Prohibited]

“What is this sign, and what is this purified land?”

“This Daspir made it hastily.”

“Do you mean you did the purification?”

“No.”

“Then who purified it? Where are they?”

“I don’t know.”

“What? Then do you mean someone suddenly dropped from the sky somewhere?”

“Yes.”

“…”

Milligan had experienced all kinds of battles on land, sea, air, and even in the sky.

Even for such a Milligan, he couldn’t help but be wary of this sudden windfall.

Milligan’s trembling gaze lingered on Dastar’s lips.

“I’m being sincere. None of us know either. Along with this note, what I saw is everything. We can only speculate that there might be someone with great power in Ortejo Castle who wishes for a Summoned Beast to hatch.”

“Could this possibly be someone’s deception?”

“No. It’s truly perfectly purified land, without a single drop of demonic energy remaining. We’ve thoroughly confirmed it.”

Even Haroze, a senior Purification Mage who was urgently summoned, and Martin, an intermediate Purification Mage, repeatedly confirmed that the land had been purified.

“This is probably the smallest and cleanest land in this world.”

The suddenly purified land was only the size of a palm.

Though it was quite small, it was large enough to hold a Summoned Beast egg that was even smaller.

Milligan touched the soil once more with trembling fingertips.

There was no trace of demonic energy contamination to be found.

“If we let a Summoned Beast be born in this place, it will become the most powerful existence.”

Finally, words filled with emotion fell.

“Let us place the Summoned Beast egg here.”

When a Summoned Beast egg is placed in soil, it hatches immediately.

They carefully placed the pure white egg into the clean pile of soil, wrapping it thoroughly.

Before long, subtle vibrations could be felt from the soil.

Finally, the soil that had covered the Summoned Beast egg began to crack.
