Chapter 423: 423 - - 423, "Funny" and "Funny"

"Mr. Ortó, the magic you just used ...... is fire magic. That's a very high level magic, isn't it?"

"............"

Ortó stares at us in silence. He looks scared. It's a look of madness.

"Master Linos, what is the level of that fire magic?"

"......LV4, I think."

Ortó's eyes opened a little. He seems to have hit the bull's-eye. The main difference between lvl. 4 and lvl. 5 of fire magic is the ability to compress magic power. Ortó was creating super-heated flames, but he could not control all the power of the flames. If I were to do it, I would attack with a small compressed super-heated flame. Otherwise, I would risk engulfing the elf-king. Unless the king has a high warding level.

"LV 4 is a very high temperature, isn't it?

"Yes. Water would evaporate in an instant."

"Good answer."

Sidney nodded his head in agreement. Then he turned to Ortó again. At the same time, he turned away. And the soldiers around him stop ...... as if about to move. As I was wondering what was going on, I noticed that all of them were staring at a certain point. When they look there, they see the Elf King raising his right hand in a pose to stop something.

He turns his head to look at us and nods his head. It seems that he is urging us to continue the conversation. The atmosphere emanating from him seems to be tinged with anger. He seems to be confused and angry at the fact that one of his men may have killed one of his own people.

Ortó is clenching his right hand tightly with an expression as if he is gritting his teeth. I wonder if he is accumulating magical power. ....... I can't see what he is doing because I can't detect his magic. But I guess his magic is at its highest at lvl. 4. So he can't break my wards. I cannot attack him with magic. I feel a little better now that I know that.

"What do you have to say for a human race!　How much more must I be sacrificed!　What in the world could have made you think I killed Leila?

Ortó's words are becoming clunky. His expression is completely distorted. It's as if he's saying I'm the culprit.

"You told me that Leila was killed by a stab in the side. That's exactly what only the murderer could have known. And you know it. ......"

"Yeah!"

He shouted, grabbed the sword at his waist, and raised it high.

"If you doubt me, examine my sword!　Is there Leila's blood on this sword!　Do I smell the stench of abominable blood!　You'd better check it out!"

No need.

"What!"

"You are a smart and careful man. You didn't use that sword, did you?"

"Hey ......"

"If you use a sword to cut, blood will fly and you will get blood back. Oh, is there a way to avoid that, depending on how you do it?　But if you use a sword, the blade will spill anyway, and the smell of blood will be on it, so you can't hide it, can you? You thought that far and thought of a way to kill Leila without using a sword, right?"

"............"

"You used sharpened ice, didn't you?"

Ortó's body shudders.

"You killed Leila with an ice weapon and then immediately melted the ice with your fire magic. This is how you succeeded in destroying the weapon, right?"

"Na ...... chi ...... chi ga ......"

"Well thought out. The easiest thing to destroy evidence in this village ....... ice, in your hands, can be erased without a trace in just a few seconds. The question is, how did you make it? ....... Well, there are many elves who can control water magic. I would like to ask them to make it for me. ....... I mean you. If you ask others, they may betray you. So, you will procure the ice weapon by yourself. Well, if I were you, I'd use the ...... Tulara."

Ortó's eyes are twitching. He has frozen completely since a few moments ago. Sidi watches him with a cold smile.

"Is that a good guess?　Apparently so."

With that, she turns to the Elf King and breaks her back.

"I have a favor to ask of the Elf King. My guess is as follows. "Master Ortó, who is waiting for me here. I believe he is most likely the murderer of Miss Leila. It will be difficult to prove, since the weapon that killed her has probably been destroyed. ....... But if he used Tulara, please check the wards that are set up in this village. There must be some tsuraras outside of the wards. One of them may have been cut off artificially. A few hours after Leila was killed: ....... Even though it is in a very cold area, I do not think that the cut marks will disappear soon.

The Elf King listened quietly to Sidi's story. When he had finished, he exhaled slowly.

"Again, I must tell you something. This is truly hard to say, but ....... My husband is a very skilled appraiser. Perhaps, though, the elves in this village have placed a ward to seal my husband's magic. I beg you to release them. Then we may be able to use my husband's abilities to find out who the real culprit is.

"............!?"

"............!?"

Suddenly, the room became noisy. I looked up to see dozens of armed soldiers bursting into the room. And at the end of them, an elf in a glittering costume appeared. This person, I believe, is the queen of the Elf King. She stared at us sharply, and then she snapped her jaw. That was the signal for the soldiers to come toward us ......, but they stopped. I look to the side and see the Elf King in a pose to stop the soldiers. He is staring at a point, not moving.

"...... Mother has sent you to kill us."

Meek mutters in a small voice. She looks straight at her mother, who is trying to kill her.

"This has happened because the concubines came to this village. She says that once the concubines are gone, everything will be as it was.

...... What logic. This is beyond absurd. Was that woman Leila killed for such a stupid idea?　You've got to be kidding me. He's completely insane when he's trying to kill us. ....... I wonder if good intentions can backfire this badly.

"...... father, you are the benefactors who saved my concubine. He will not allow you to try to take the life of that benefactor.

......The Elf King is sane. Isn't that what people usually think?

"...... mother, you seem to hate us with all your heart."

Meek looks down sadly. Still, you wouldn't hate your own daughter that much, would you? .......

"She's my stepmother.

Sadie mutters in a small voice. What do you mean?

"She's not your birth mother, Mr. Meek."

"How can you be so sure?　Intuition?"

No parent would hate their own child.

Sadie mutters with a forlorn look on her face. That's true. My kids are cute. I know it hurts to look at them, but they are my treasures. No matter what happens to them, I want to be on their side, and I would never think of taking their lives, and I don't want to. No wonder that the princess who is glaring at us with her sharp eyes is our stepmother.

"...... Mother, you are unhappy because you associate with other species. She says we should get rid of them as soon as possible."

"You are wrong to think that way."

I couldn't help but shout. ...... Huh?　You've gone awfully quiet, haven't you?　...... means all eyes are on me!　What am I supposed to do?
