Re:Zero: Starting from the Great Transformation

Labyrinth: 95, Goodbye Pergius

the next day.

Nanahoshi and I set off together and headed to the outskirts of Shalia.

After about an hour's journey by carriage from Sharia towards the north, one can see an ancient ruin standing in the wilderness, or more precisely, a fortress.

Broken stone slabs are scattered on the ground, and thick stone pillars lie horizontally on the ground, broken unevenly in the middle, giving people a sense of the weight of history.

About five hundred years ago.

The man named Laplace unified all the countless races in the entire Demon Continent, classified them all as demons, and was called the Demon God.

Afterwards, the demon Laplace continued to expand its power outward.

Unite with the sea tribe, beast tribe, etc. to declare war on the human race.

A war aimed at genocide.

It was a battle that was far more intense than the First and Second Human-Demon Wars. Although it lasted only a hundred years, it caused an unimaginable strong impact on the human race. It was called the Demon War or the Laplace Battle.

And in that war.

In order to resist the demons attacking from all directions, thousands of humans here built the Scott Fortress.

Unfortunately.

Despite the desperate resistance of the people, the fortress was eventually captured.

The traces of swords and remnants of magic that can be seen everywhere are proof that the war once took place.

I followed Qixing with my package on my back.

The package probably weighs about four or five hundred kilograms, and its volume is almost twice as big as me.

Inside are all Qixing's luggage and research results,

Since we didn't plan to return to Lanoa University of Magic on this trip, we just brought them all with us.

At first, Qixing was worried about how to carry so much luggage, but after I tried it a little, I found that this level of weight was really easy for me, almost effortless.

Since I got this body, my daily life has changed dramatically.

The first is that it’s hard to feel tired.

I couldn't feel sleepy due to exhaustion, so I barely slept.

Precisely.

From the end of the maze trip to now, I have not slept at all in the past month.

Swing swords, run, and use magic.

All kinds of methods have been tried.

Although the magic power will be consumed to the point where it is impossible to use magic or even entangle fighting spirit, the physical strength is still abundant.

That’s why Qixing strongly urged me to have a physical examination.

I am really weird now.

If you don't understand what changes are happening in your body, big problems could arise.

"Huh, here we are."

Qixing wiped the sweat off his forehead and stopped at the center of the ruins.

In front of her was a stone tablet of the seven great powers, on which were listed seven titles including the Dragon God Orsted and the corresponding emblem patterns.

From one to seven.

They are the God of Skills, the God of Dragons, the God of Fighting, the God of Demons, the God of Death, the God of Swords, and the God of the North.

Of course, we are not here to check the ranking of the seven major powers, but if we want to go to the sky fortress, we must use a magic item here to summon Mr. Almanfi, the errand boy.

Having said that…

I looked at Qixing with a bit of surprise. He had nothing in his hands but seemed very tired.

This guy……

You haven't taken many steps since leaving home, right?

She really has become a homebody.

"I always feel like you're thinking of something very rude."

"It's your illusion. Let's not talk about this for now. Hurry up and call the errand boy."

"What errand boy? That's Pergius's familiar, the glorious Almanfi..."

Nanahoshi muttered as he pulled out a whistle.

She blew the whistle softly.

“Puff—”

The whistle makes a simple and easy to understand breathing sound.

But in fact, the real sound of this whistle is inaudible to humans.

Soon, golden light descended from the sky.

A figure with blonde hair and a fox-like mask on his face appeared in front of Qixing and me.

He glanced around. I couldn't see his expression because he was wearing a mask, but I could clearly feel his gaze on me.

"Long time no see, Almanfi."

I took the initiative to say hello.

"...Demons?"

"It's me, Ron. It's just a few years since we last met. Have you completely forgotten me?"

"I know you are Ron. But the Ron I remember was human, but you smell like a demon. What's going on?"

The smell of demons?

Could it be something like body odor?

I personally can't smell it, and Qixing doesn't seem to notice it either.

Just as I was thinking about how to explain it.

Qixing spoke first:

"Ron's body has become like this for some reason. We have come here to report this to Lord Pergius and seek his help. Please show some mercy."

I only remembered it when I heard this.

Pergius really hated the demons.

The Undead Demons are the purest kind of demons, so they probably won't allow me to board the Sky Fortress... No, that shouldn't be the case. After all, I became like this suddenly and I'm not a real demon.

"I need to seek the advice of Lady Silvalir."

"It's troublesome."

Almanfi disappeared.

Just when I thought it would take some time, Almanfi came back in less than a minute, saying that he had obtained permission and handed the props for the transfer magic to me and Qixing.

……

……

When I came to my senses, I was already in the Sky Fortress with Qixing.

It has been several years since I last came here. When I think about it carefully, it is really emotional.

Silvalir has been waiting here for a long time.

As a member of the Celestial Clan, she has a long lifespan. It is said that she has lived from the time of the Laplace Campaign to the present. Even after not seeing her for a few years, she is still as beautiful as ever. Her pure white robes and the pair of jet-black wings behind her are even more eye-catching.

“Don’t stare at other people all the time.”

Qixing hit my waist hard with her elbow.

Now I am no longer a weakling, and the girl's weak elbow strike is no longer a threat to me.

Having said that, I still looked away obediently.

After all, it is really not nice to stare at other women in front of your female companions.

"Long time no see. I see your relationship is still as good as ever."

Silvalier said with a smile.

What she said was true, but how exactly can you tell from elbowing someone that they have a good relationship?

"I heard that Mr. Ron turned into a demon?"

"Regarding this matter, I feel it is necessary to report it to Lord Pergius, and I would also like to ask for your assistance in performing a physical examination."

"Then please follow me. Lord Pergius has been waiting for a long time."

Silvalir gestured for her to step aside.

We followed closely behind him, walked through the long corridor, and finally arrived at the magnificent and solemn audience room.

The Armored Dragon King Perkius, who had defeated the Demon God Laplace during the Demon God War together with the then Dragon God Urpe and the First Northern God Kalman, sat on the throne, watching us enter the hall with an expressionless face.

"Long time no see, Lord Pergius."

Qixing bowed respectfully.

"As agreed, I'm here to see you."

"Since you say that, does that mean your research on summoning from another world has yielded results?"

"Yes, but I'm not sure whether this result meets your expectations."

Hear Qixing's answer.

Pergius nodded slightly.

"Seeking knowledge is the destiny of our dragon race. As promised, I will also teach you all the summoning knowledge about this world. Look forward to it."

"Many thanks."

Qixing breathed a sigh of relief.

It looked like she got the answer she wanted.

At this moment, Pergius's eyes fell on me.

"Ron, you've changed a lot. You've actually turned into a demon..."

"That's true, but I'm not sure whether this is a good thing or a bad thing. I hope Lord Pergius can clarify this for me."

"It's okay. Silvalir, take him for a physical examination."

"Yes."

Silvalir responded respectfully.

Then, under her guidance, I temporarily separated from Qixing and went to the room for physical examination.

Labyrinth Chapter: 96, Son of God

The room is furnished with magical devices used for physical examinations.

After the magic device is activated, it will use different levels of magic power to pass through the human body and determine the condition of the human body based on the feedback obtained. It can be said to be a very cutting-edge magic device.

And if you want to use such a magical device, you not only need to master the corresponding technology, but also need a huge database as a reference. Otherwise, even if you get the data from the device, you will not be able to understand the meaning of that data at all.

"Mr. Ron, please tell me about your experience."

While using the magic device, Silvalir asked me what happened.
