§ 19. Song of Miracles

We were walking through Galadenaga, the capital of Gadeciola. There were no churches like Jiordal, or knights like Agatha. The forbidden soldiers couldn’t be seen on the streets either. I cast my Magic Eyes everywhere, so I could observe how the people here lived.

“Hmm. Gadeciola’s meant to be one of the three big kingdoms of the underground, right? Isn’t it kind of small?” Eleonore wondered out loud.

“Right? I guess people assumed the entire area covered by Beno Ievun was inhabited, since that’s all they can see from outside,” Sasha said, pointing at the barrier along the country border.

“The capital seems pretty big, but are there other cities besides this? I don’t think they could fit another city within the barrier.”

Misha nodded. “I think this is the only city.”

“I guess there aren’t many people who believe in the blasphemous god here in the underground world.” Sasha looked around the city with a curious expression.

It was near impossible to survive in the underground without relying on the gods. Only those under strenuous circumstances would come here and live like this.

“But it’s not like the kingdom was founded yesterday,” I said. “They may not receive many immigrants, but no one can leave either. The population should still increase.”

At a glance, there were more people walking the streets here than in Agatha or Jiordal.

“It doesn’t seem like they lack land either,” I continued. “If left to nature, the number of cities should increase.”

Misha tilted her head. “Is the Beno Ievun stopping them from expanding?”

“Who knows? They have Ceris, the Netherworld King Aeges, and the Cursed King Kaihilam on their side. The Overworld governing the kingdom should also have a considerable amount of magic. They could be maintaining this scale on purpose.”

After all, expanding the territory would make Beno Ievun more difficult to maintain.

“I understand why they may not wish to expand recklessly,” Shin said with a menacing glare at our surroundings, “but why are the forbidden soldiers and Phantom Knights the only ones permitted to leave Gadeciola? Beno Ievun is effective against the gods, but it’s not like there are enemies waiting to attack the moment they step out of the barrier.”

“And with the forbidden soldiers and Phantom Knights around, they have plenty of forces to keep other nations in check,” Misa added.

Eleonore made a sound of realization. “Oh, that’s right! The people of Agatha didn’t seem like the type to attack for no reason. So the people here should feel free to leave and walk about.”

“So why aren’t they allowed out?” Sasha asked, puzzled.

“I know...!” Zeshia announced smugly.

“That’s amazing, Zeshia! You’re a genius!”

Eleonore immediately showered her with praise, but Zeshia glared at her unhappily.

“I still haven’t said anything... Don’t do that...”

Eleonore giggled at Zeshia’s disapproving face. “You’re too clever, Zeshia. Okay, so what did the Overlord want to do?”

“To keep everyone confined...”

“Why though?” Sasha mumbled childishly, unable to keep herself from arguing.

“So that everyone stays nearby...!”

“The Overlord isn’t that lonely,” Sasha protested.

Zeshia clenched her fists and turned to Sasha. “Zeshia gets lonely.
