The Strongest Wizard Becomes a Countryside Guardsman After Taking an Arrow to the Knee

Chapter 395 – A Mysterious Attack

Timi felt that Jearl was still too scared, so she didn’t try to approach him.

「Sorry about before. I’ll try not to scare you, so please relax.」

「…gaa gaaa」

Jearl still looked quite scared by being there with Timi.

I think he knew in his head he didn’t need to be scared, so maybe later the fear would ebb.

Vi-Vi grabbed Jearl’s hand and said,

「We made you a stable! You can go inside now!」

Vi-Vi then led the elder dragon into the stable.

It was made of stone and white. Windows, roof, door, everything stone.

The windows and doors were covered with lightly cut stone, easy to open and shut.

Even so, they were strengthened by magic circles, so they wouldn’t break easily.

「gaaaa」

Jearl said, surprised, as he entered the place.

「It’s big enough for you to relax in here. No bed for you yet, though.」

「gaa gaaa」

Jearl happily nuzzled up to Vi-Vi in thanks.

「What about this in exchange for a bed?」

「What is that, Timi?」

「It’s a big washbasin. He can use it to was his feet too.」

She took out a huge washbasin from her magical bag…it was ancient dragon size.

It looked just right for Jearl though.

「Here, this too.」

She then took out a big blanket from the bag. Seemed like a blanket any adventurer would want.

「gaa gaa!」

Jearl happily wagged his tail. He took the overturned washbasin and pulled the blanket over and sat on it.

Belda bowed again,

「So much to thank you for…but again, thank you.」

So we explained the existence of the transfer circle to Belda.

It was sealed, but just in case, we told them where it was so as not to touch it.

Belda and Jearl listened carefully to the explanation.

Then we headed home to Mulg.

It was late at night and I was asleep, but awoke when Femm licked my face.

「What? You need to use the bathroom?」

『Are you joking? We have visitors!』

「Now?!」

We both got up and soon heard someone banging at the front door.

「Mister Al! Mister Al!」

It was Tom’s voice. He had come through the transfer circle.

I put Shiggy in my pouch and opened the door.

「What is it, Tom?」

「The statue moved!」

「Huh? The statue in Elkay?」

「Yeah! It’s going crazy! Come with me!」

「Sure.」

I had no idea what he was saying, but it seemed that something was wrong.

Something had happened in Elkay for sure.

We got ready and I put my wolf mask on.

Cruz, Yureena, Femm, Moofy, Vi-Vi, Chel and I all went.

Timi was off in the dragon palace resting.

「Cruz, put on your mask too, just in case.」

「You got it!」

Cruz made sure to put on her lion mask and I asked Tom,

「And Luka?」

「Luka hasn’t come back to Elkay yet.」

Luka was off doing something for the guild away from Elkay.

Luka, Leo, and Leah were all away, but Steff was still in Elkay, so it would probably be okay.

We all rushed through the portal and into Tom’s house.

Tom’s house had Millia and the kids there with Millia trying to calm them down.

They all looked relieved that we had showed up.

「Are all the kids here?」

「Yeah, we’re fine.」

Millia answered. Kay and the other smaller kids were clinging to her.

The older kids were at the door guarding it.

「And Steff?」

「She went to help people flee from the statue.」

「I see. Tom, help take care of the kids.」

「Sure!」

We left the house and suddenly heard a loud voice,

――ＯＯＯＯＯＯＯＯＯ

「What’s that sound?」

「The statue? You think?」

Vi-Vi and Cruz questioned each other.

There was no moon in the sky. Also the heavy snow clouds covered above, so there was no starlight either.

Also, Elkay had little light from the houses. It was pitch black.

I would have to wait until my eyes adjusted to it…or…

「It may not be necessary, but…」

I cast nightsight on all members of the party.

「Thanks, al!」

「I can see well!」

Vi-Vi and Cruz said happily.

「ryaaaaa」

Shiggy cried out from my pouch. I’m sure the nightsight change shocked her.

We could also see a huge statue ahead. It was big as Moofy in her natural state.

「What is THAT?!」

「I don’t know.」

Yureena and Vi-Vi were both shocked.

「Let’s think about how to defeat it!」

Cruz said, running at it.

「Femm!」

I called out, and Femm grew to natural size.

I jumped up on Femm before it grew and Femm ran off.

Vi-Vi and Yureena were on Moofy, who ran behind us.

We got near to the statue and could also see some destroyed houses.

Getting closer, we found Steff.

「Master…I’m glad you’re here.」

「Are you okay?」

「I wouldn’t say so…」

I saw that the lower half of her body had been petrified…
