It Was a New Town

Still, half of the worlds population? That was insane

The members of the Blue Moon of Salvation had talked about using the Universal Purification Device to destroy the continent

But now, I was starting to think that the destruction of just one continent sounded rather mild.

Well, it was all a myth anyway. Who knew if it was true?

So, uh. Who is this Emissary?

The person who will save the world We dont know any details yet. Some say that the Emissary will be born like anyone else. Others say it will require a summoning ceremony. And there are others who say the Emissary will appear out of nowhere.

I see.

In other words, you could say that they knew nothing at all.

There hadnt been any Emissary when the Blue Dragon of Delight was defeated. It seemed like a good idea to not rely on this mythical person.

Regardless, I would just hope that no dragon appeared that only an Emissary could defeat.

So, I just have to stop this Universal Purification Machine then Do you know where it is?

I have not heard any news about its location. HoweverI believe you may find a hint if you go to a place called Maneia.

Maneia?

Yes. I have never been there myselfbut that is what G.o.d told me.

G.o.d, huh

I didnt even believe in whatever G.o.d they wors.h.i.+pped in this world So, was it really a good idea to trust everything the priest said?

But up until now, everything that he claimed to have heard from G.o.d had been correct.

Alright. Thank you.

Im happy to have been useful to you.

A short while after.

I had come to the guild in order to learn a little about this place called Maneia.

The guild had a very large map that would show me the location.

Or so I had thought

Its not on here.

There was no place on the guilds map that was called Maneia.

It was highly unusual for a town to not be on a map.

I would have to ask the receptionist about it.

The same lady who had talked to me about the c.o.c.katrice was there.

Can I ask you about something?

You have a question? What is it?

Can you tell me the location of a town called Maneia? I tried looking at the map, but I couldnt find it

UhhhManeia? Let me have a look.

She said as she began to flip through the pages of a thick book.

After some time, she spoke.

Yes. It is around this area!

She said. Then she picked up a pen and marked it on the map.

I didnt know they were allowed to add things like that.

Isnt it pretty unusual for a town to not be on the map?

Yes. I think its a new town that was built after this map was created!

I see.

A new town.

That made me curious as to why it was built.

Besides, if it was related to the Universal Purification Device, it cant be a normal town.

However, I would find out more about that later.

For now, I had to go there and get a grasp on the situation.

Sorry for the trouble.

No! You killed the c.o.c.katrice for us, Mister Yuji! But, seeing as how youre looking up other towns now, does that mean you are leaving us?

Yeah. Something has come up.

I said. And the receptionist looked very sad.

Apparently, killing the c.o.c.katrice was a big deal.

Uhh Youll be welcome at any time. So please come back if you feel like it! Since youre willing to fight in the Iriarch Valley of Death, there will be plenty of quests for you!

Thank you. I will come again.

I said before leaving the guild.

Now I knew where it was, thanks to the receptionist.

So the thing to do was go and have a look.

I didnt know if there would be any useful information there for sure Father Shtyle might just be wrong this time.

Lets go then! Slibird, I want you to go ahead and scout out the place!

Okay! What about the slimes?

Take about 100 of them with you!

Got it!

And so 100 of the slimes went with Slibird.

Things could be done much faster if they went ahead and investigated.
