"Hmm, finally, he fell."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　While I was talking with others in the main camp, I heard a very loud cheer.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It seems that the capital of Uruk, which had been captured by Ayn Radd and the Burmese army, has fallen.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The attackers had climbed over the walls and entered the city and opened the gates from there.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　This triggered both armies to rush headlong into the walled city of Uruk.

　It seems that the war against the Uruks is over.

"All right! The Balkan army must be ready to move! We are entering the capital!

"Finally! Come on, Ars! Let's hurry up! Let's get to the treasury in Uruk Castle and get the treasure!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"No, I wouldn't do that, brother Bite. We have more important things to do."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"What?　What could be better than the treasures in the treasury, Ars?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Of course. You want some pain?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Yes, this way.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Payne, what do you know about the interior of Uruk Castle?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Yes. Except for the hidden passages known only to the House of Uruk, I know as much as a knight can know, Master Ars.

"All right, then show us around the castle. We're going to the library.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"...... Stacks, huh? With all due respect, sir, do we have to go to the treasury or the rear palace, as Mr. Byte says?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"No, I'll hold the archives. You can show me around, right?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Of course. I will be happy to show you around, Mr. Ars.

　To tell the truth, I am curious to know what treasures the treasuries of the noble House of Uruk hold.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But I held back.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Everyone wants treasures, and so do the Ayn Radd and Burmese who were fighting to take down the capital.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It is obvious what would happen if we came in later and took the treasure out of the treasury.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　There would be a possibility of trouble with the soldiers of both armies who were at the height of their excitement in the battle.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　So we decided to go to a place where both armies would not think so much of it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　That's when I turned my attention to the storerooms.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The place where the archives of the House of Uruk had been stored.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I go straight there.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Instead of giving up the magic items in the treasury that were probably there, I set out to secure the treasure of information stored in the Uruk.

"So this is the archives: ....... Of course, it's all parchment."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Hey, Ars. What are you doing with all these books? Are you going to memorize them all again?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"No, I won't do that, brother Byte. Unlike before, you can take it out now. But I just want to make sure of something. Payne, do you know where all the materials are in this archive?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Excuse me, Mr. Ars. I am sorry, Mr. Ars. As you can imagine, I do not know the contents of the materials stored in the stacks. But I might know a little. What is it you want to know?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"For now, a map of Uruk territory. And where the knights are. And there is one more thing I need to know.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"A map and information on knights? I can give you more information about the knights if you ask me for the most recent information. The map is probably stored in the back of the house. But what is the place you want to know?　Do you mean somewhere in Uruk territory?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes. What I want to know is where the nine tails live. Do you know it?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"...... Nine tails?　I am sorry, Master Ars. With all due respect, the Nine Tails no longer exist. They were all hunted to extinction by the House of Uruk.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I know that, Payne. What I want to know is where many of the extinct Nine Tails lived when they were still alive. That's what I want to know about.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"The place where the nine tails used to show themselves? That was a long time ago. No one may know. I see. That's why you decided to search in this archive.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Can you check, Payne?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Please wait. I remember my grandfather told me a fairy tale about this when I was a child. The Nine Tails used to live in a secret place called Kitsuneya. If there are any documents that contain the word "Kitsunokani", perhaps we can find the approximate location.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Okay, good, Payne. Fox Valley. Let's go look for it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"......Look at the amount of material in this archive, Mr. Ars. It won't take long to find them. It will take days, maybe even longer just to find the word "Kitsunoya".

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Hmm?　Oh, Payne doesn't know. This time, the Barka army has brought a member of the Reed family with them. If you can read fast, you should be able to find them easily. No problem."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Hey, come on, Ars. I know you like books. The Nine Tails are gone, aren't they?　What are you going to do now, find out where a fox like that used to live? You're going to take the lands of the knights who don't follow House Xillia. What the hell are you thinking?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"What are you talking about, brother Bite? Nine tails, nine tails. Have you forgotten what the magic sword of the House of Uruk is called?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"The magic sword of Uruk?　How could I forget such a thing? It's a nine-tailed sword.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

You know what I'm talking about. Then you know why we need to find out where the nine tails live.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"...... No, I don't know, Ars. What are you trying to say?　Are you wondering if the Nine Tails are still alive? You want to kill the nine tails and make them into new weapons?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Hey, hey, what are you talking about, brother Bite? You can't make a sword out of a fox.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"What?　No, that may be true, but the magic sword of Uruk is called the Nine-Tailed Sword, so they must be made from nine tails, right?　I mean, even hard-tusk swords are made from boar tusks, so there's nothing to say they can't be made, right?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"No, brother Bite. The name "Nine-Tailed Sword" doesn't come from the fact that it uses the body of a fox named Nine-Tails. It comes from the place where the nine-tailed fox lived."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"...... You're a bit of a muddler sometimes, Ars. What do you mean?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Well, if we can find out where the Nine Tails lived and locate the Fox Valley, we might be able to get the ore from which the Nine Tails Sword was made. If that happens, we can mass produce the Nine-Tailed Sword, Brother Bite."

　Carlos once gave me a magical sword called the Nine-Tailed Sword for my success in the battle against the House of Uruk.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I had studied this Nine-Tailed Sword with Gran.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It was a simple question as to why in the world a flaming sword would appear when magical power was poured into it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　And the conclusion Gran came up with.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The magical sword called the Nine-Tailed Sword is not made of any material derived from foxes or any other living creatures.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　In other words, the Nine-Tailed Sword is undoubtedly "a sword made of metal.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　According to Gran, this kind of discrepancy between the name and the material of magical weapons happens from time to time.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The reasons for this vary from case to case, but one possible explanation is that there is some kind of relationship between the metal used to make the Nine-Tailed Sword and the creature known as the Nine-Tailed Fox.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　One of the hypotheses Gran has come up with, based on his knowledge and experience, is as follows.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The metal was obtained in the same area where the nine-tailed fox lived.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　However, I was not able to confirm this hypothesis on the spot.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The information available to Gran and I in the Fontana territory was that the nine tails had already become a creature of the past and no longer existed.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　And that the manufacturing process of the Nine-Tailed Sword has been lost.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　In short, the information available at that time was not enough to reach a conclusion.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But now it is different.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I have reached the library of the House of Uruk who once made the Nine-Tailed Sword and used it for the prosperity of their domain.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Here I may be able to find the former habitat of the Nine-Tails.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Amazing!　I'm surprised, Mr. Ars. Reading fast is an amazing thing. It seems you've already found it. A document has been found that describes where the Nine Tails were, in Kitsunokani.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Good. Where is it, Payne?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Well, according to this description ......, it's between some mountains at the foot of Daisetsuzan. It would probably be around here on the map.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Hmmm, do you know who the knight who rules that area is?　Is that where the Xillia family came under this time?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"...... No, it's not. The knightly families here should have ignored the message and shown no reaction. Perhaps they are trying to ignore it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Good, very good. Just right, that's it. All right, byte-brother. Let's get all the stuff out of the archives and then we'll go. Let's go destroy that knightly family, the Arms."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Looks like we got the information we wanted faster than we thought.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Then this is not the time to be slowing down here.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I set my sights on the territory of the Knights of Arms in the southeastern part of the former Uruk Territory that Payne had pointed out on the map, and began to move the Balkan army.
