Chapter 141.3
Carla, the daughter of the head magician, woke up two days after the princesses disappeared and laughed so hard that she lost half her strength when she heard their stories from her attendants.
“…It’s really funny, Aria, but you must come back soon. If you don’t come back, I’m going to burn them and all those girls.”
Not only the academy and the nobles were on the move, but the adventurer party Rainbow Sword, including the recovered Viro, was once again requested by the Prime Minister to act to search for the princess and their companion. Nero, the phantom Coeurl, rushed out to the place where his partner, the girl’s master, had once been with her.
The princess was alive. The closer one was to that girl, the more certain one was of it, knowing that the girl, Aria, was by her side.

In the southwest of the continent of Sarth, there was a land of sand that rejected all life, called the Desert of Death, and adjacent to it, a huge ancient ruin.
No one could tell when those ruins were made. It was said that they were the remnants of a race of people who existed before the Cruzian, the indigenous people of this continent. The city itself, which was vast and the size of a small country, was all ruins, and the sandstorms made the city appear hazy, hence the name Reiz Veil, the city of the ancient ruins.
No one dwelled in the city of ancient ruins. This was because the city was full of desert-dwelling beetle demons and undead such as wraiths and skeletons.
However, if there were monsters, materials and magic stones could be obtained. If they could get those materials, adventurers would gather.
There would be those who dreamed of gold left in the ruins and would steal it. When such people gather, merchants who smell the scent of money also gathered, and gradually, a village was formed.
The town a few kilometers from the ancient ruins was a settlement created by such people.
The Khalfaan Empire was located about a month’s journey away, but this town did not belong to the empire.
