That way was safer. If we ended up repeatedly cycling through the same process—we find Geese, my allies assemble, Geese escapes, everyone goes home—my allies would eventually stop showing up. All this would have been for nothing. “I’d like to set up teleportation circles for when I need to summon my allies.” The Biheiril Kingdom was only a minor nation, but it still had three large cities. The capital of Biheiril, the second city of Irelil, and the third city of Heirulil. “I’ll put one in the vicinity of each of the cities.” I glanced at Roxy. “There aren’t many people who can accurately draw magic circles, but my magnificent teacher, with her incredible foresight, has drawn up a number of teleportation circle scrolls for just this purpose. A round of applause, please.” A thunderous ovation broke out. A rain of confetti fluttered over the stage where Roxy stood, mic in hand. When she waved to her fans, assembled in the hall from all over the world, scores of them collapsed in a swoon. At least, that’s how it played out in my brain. “I’m sending people to the Biheiril Kingdom’s neighbors to watch the main roads. We’ll use the Ruquag Mercenary Band in Sharia.” Linia and Pursena would do that, with Aisha helping too. “After plugging potential escape routes, I’ll hunt Geese down. Then, as soon as I find him, I’ll call for backup. We’ll defeat him.” The main thing was confirming he was there. After that, it would be just a matter of stopping him from getting away until our forces arrived. Fortunately, the Biheiril Kingdom was surrounded by forests, mountains, and oceans. It didn’t share borders with too many other countries. When Kishirika used the Demon Eye to find Geese, she’d also sensed the Man-God. That meant the Man- God had likely sensed her too, and so it was possible Geese had already run. Like he’d said in his letter, he could even make a getaway through the forests as long as he had a companion. Blocking off the main roads was mostly for my own comfort. “I see,” Orsted said. “Then who will handle the magic circles?” “We should split the task up. One person for each circle.” “Isn’t that too risky?” Sylphie objected. “I mean, they’ll go after you, right, Rudy?” Page 3 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com
