Chapter 190 Where Am I This Isn'T Good; I Need To Figure This Out
"...Gyaaaaaaah!"
The man collapses, his legs gone. Holding onto the dripping blood where his legs used to be, he rolls on the ground, writhing in pain.
"'Regenerate', 'Full Recover'"
"Huh? The pain's gone..."
I grab the man by his collar and demand,
"Hey. I won't go easy next time. Where am I? What did you do to me?"
"..."
Is it just a futile effort to get answers out of him? He's not responding to my questions. What should I do?
"If you're mistaking me for some illusion or something, want to experience just the pain?"
"... "
"Geez, you're so stubborn. 'Rev-Recover (Injury)', 'Rev-Recover', 'Rev-Recover', 'Rev-Recover', 'Rev-Recover', 'Rev-Recover'."
This is a spell that implants intense pain. It's still okay with this one. If it were Full Rev Recover, he would definitely go insane. Kawamushi-kun (river worm) died instantly though.
If I keep hitting like this, ah, this guy, he passed out while twitching and shaking. He even wet himself while doing it. Despite being a man...
Anyway, I flipped this guy over and tied his limbs while he was face down. I stuffed a twisted towel in his mouth and put a gag on him. In that state, I sat heavily on his back.
"'Regenerate', 'Full Recover'. Now, can you understand my words?"
What was leaked was forcibly stored away. No pain. How about that? You must be used to it, right?
'Oh!'
For some reason, there was applause.
The thing on the back of the man I was sitting on and the things above the waists of the men and women around were different. The man's thing was feathers, and the others around had wings, can we say that?
This person is quite distinctive in a way if I look closely. White hair, eyebrows, white wings. Despite being a man, he's slender and handsome... He's the type I don't like.
"Um, excuse me. I'm really sorry, but where is this place?"
When I asked, one of the guys I was looking at told me.
"This is Arlheave's Phileto Village."
"Phileto Village, I see. Thank you."
Hmm. I don't really get it. But he kindly told me. I should thank him.
"Sorry for another question, but what kind of species are the uncles here?"
"Me? We're 'humans.'"
Everyone nodded. I see, these people refer to themselves as humans.
"What about this guy?"
"Oh, this one is called a Celestial race, they're really unpleasant fellas."
"Unpleasant? That's offensive."
"What's up, you can talk?"
Who is this person? When I look closely, their fingers are too clean, aren't they? There's no trace of the dreadful black stain of Osso's poison.
"――I heard that the Celestial race was captured."
Oh? A person with polite language has arrived. They look more like an adventurer than a security guard at first glance.
"I don't know the full situation either, but I think there's no doubt that he did something."
"Well, I never expected to be able to capture a Celestial Race. This is a rare opportunity. We need to make him talk, so please cooperate."
"Why don't you respect me? We lend you our land, give you water, and even allow you to survive."
Oh, he talks a lot. What a condescending line. I got a little annoyed, so I decided to grab this person's wrist and give him a punishment.
'Rev Middle Recover (Moderate)'
"――Guh"
"Ah, you fell down with a splash. Did it hurt that much?"
"...What happened to me?"
"Oh, just a little magic."
"I see, well then, thank you for your cooperation."
I feel like he sorts of understand without asking any further questions. But this person's fingertips don't have any black marks from Osotoxin after all.
"Okay okay."
"Ah, I'm sorry for the delay, but I am the Captain of the security department stationed in Philete Village. My name is Failroud."
"Oh, I see. I'm Tatsuma."
"Well then, please follow me."
Oh, there are quite a few people waving to me? Why is that?
"Oh, that's because you're being welcomed. After all, you caught a Celestial (this guy)."
"Is that so?"
"Yes. We might be in danger from these guys. For them, it might just be a fun game. But we can't catch them because they can fly. If they escape, we can't chase them... "
We are being transported in a horse-drawn carriage that looks like a trailer. The man wearing a gag can't talk properly, he just makes a "Mggh" sound.
"Do you see that?"
Failroud-san points to a big pond-like thing at the end of the field. His finger moves beyond it, revealing a cliff that looks quite far away. It's a rocky mountain that just goes up into the sky, with some clouds here and there. The top is not visible. How high is it?
"On top of that is the country of the celestial people."
"Wow, really?"
It's impossible to reach without flying. But hey, these people have impressive wings, don't they? How come they can't fly even though they have wings? It would be nice to hear the reason.
Still, this place is amazing. Everywhere I look, all I see are fields and fields, covered in snow. It seems like the harvest season is over, that's why the soil is thinly covered in snow. It's still lightly snowing from the sky.
The people earlier and this Failroud-san here are all dressed really warmly. Their clothes seem difficult to wear alone, but they look like they have wings coming out from their waists.
Compared to them, I'm not dressed warmly enough and it's getting cold. But I can bear it and later take out a cloak from my inventory.
Here, I think this is a demon territory, but unlike the Black Forest Humans who used wooden materials for their buildings, here many houses are built from stone. The precision might not be so high, but they are carefully constructed, with the gaps filled in with something like mortar.
It's different from Ensgrad where snow is lightly falling. Here in this village, the snow is falling heavily enough to pile up. The buildings don't seem to have more than two floors. I can see some snow piled up on the roofs too.
Being a village, there is no main street. Houses are lined up in a crescent shape around a large, open square in the center. Maybe they used to do harvest work in this square.
