Boundary Labyrinth and the Foreign Magician

The airship flies slightly southwest of King's Landing in the direction of Beshmerg. Rapid rescue is important, so speed and altitude for travel are good.

"I wasn't able to see the scene, but it wasn't a simple fall, it was a collapse in the form of a falling bottom, and there was something underneath... an undiscovered cavity and an underground lake. A few adventurers also led Lord Rutger into the rescue hole, and there was another earthquake-like shake."

Tell me what Byron knows.

This time, the passage is about to fall apart... The evacuation of the personnel watching the rope upstairs was in time, but the passage leading to the scene was filled.

The Adventurers are a nearby hub… They're on their way to the Adventurers Guild and the Warriors are guarding us from entering the Great Cavity, as I said earlier.

The Byron was contacted by the warrior and told King Leandle with magic equipment. I have seen the crystal board being used by Rutger, so I was asked to use it.

I assumed that the crystal board was also for Byron's update, so I left it with Rutger. I was expecting an emergency, but I also understand that when Rutger can't come back, someone other than Byron suddenly touches it.

"Okay. It's an emergency, and I don't mind if the Byron takes turns or takes a break."

I nodded with King Leandle and told him so. The crystal board itself is easy to use. There are aspects of the liaison that make it easier for the samurai to respond. There are alternate watches, evacuation guidance, and breaks.

Nevertheless, we are also flying the airship at a fairly high speed, so I don't think it will take much time to get to the scene.

"The problem is that the first collapse and the second collapse were after the earthquake."

Claudia closes her eyes. Yes, that's the problem. When the scaffold first collapsed, it was also after earthquake-like shaking on the ground.

"First of all... if the situation on the ground is calm, we can search with a large number of people, but in some cases we may have to be a few of the best."

I think it can be protected if it can be reinforced by surgery or if it stays around even if it collapses.

Valor and Osgrive will also be able to protect their companions. But even if we split up, that's enough. Collis and Amber also think it would be safe to stay close to each other first if there were earth magic control. However, the surroundings can be protected to some extent, but the range is not wide.

Tesdiros and others - even if they can protect themselves in the event of a collapse, it is difficult to protect their companions.

In actual exploration, the line will also grow vertically, and it would be preferable to search for me, Valor, Osgrive, Korris, and Amber in a well-balanced line, perfecting the protection of all accompanying passengers.

Explaining this, King Leandle was also thinking "I see."

"Another thing I'm curious about... are there many earthquakes near the big underground cavities and drafters?

"No... The fewer. I've never been reported, and I'm not allowed to enter the cavity if there's a lot of earthquakes. It's not that there are no earthquakes in Dravdenia as a whole, but... maybe there are many of them."

King Leandro answered with thoughts.

I see...

"If it's small, I'm concerned about what the earthquake originated from."

"It's not natural?

"I think it's best to consider that possibility."

If it's natural, it's fine. Even in the current situation, where earthquakes frequently occur, you can also ensure safety by asking the spirits, and you will be able to see to some extent what is happening. In case of volcanic activity near the scene, not only the earth spirits but also the fire spirits will be active.

"------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The problem is... if the cause is not natural."

What if it's caused by powerful monster activity or artificial manipulation?

Elena says with a serious look. When I nodded, everyone's expression also seemed a little more urgent.

Whether it's a monster or a magical technique, it's a person who can cause phenomena of at least the magnitude of an earthquake.

If it was a monster, it would be quite ranked, and if it was due to artificial rituals, magical ceremonies, etc.... it would be a story of what the purpose was this time.

If we can't identify the cause, the same thing could happen in the future. If we don't get into the big cavity itself, we'll have an impact, including securing resources and routinely crushing hostile monsters.

"If it's caused by nature, it's easy to identify and counteract, which is a good thing... otherwise there's a problem."

"Indeed. If you don't know through the Spirit, it's going to be a mess."

Petra agrees when Grace says behind the monitor that his expression is a little cloudy.

"That's right. I don't know about the area... until we get there. If you look at the spirits and listen to them, you will be able to sort out some of the causes at the first stage."

"At this point, it would be better to think about rescue as a priority."

"Yes, there is an increasing risk of collapse due to shaking, so it is imperative that you keep it safe and secure."

Answer the thought-provoking King Leandle that way. First of all, rescue is the top priority, and identifying and solving the causes is the next challenge.

How to organize a queue, how to search and rescue after ensuring safety. It would be a good idea to plan a plan for the area while you're on the move.

There is a transfer magic team, so even if the exit collapses, it is easy to escape unless you get involved.

When I tried to figure out how to explore and deal with the queue and various situations, King Leandle, Petra, and the rescue team nodded impressively.

"It's not like you're used to labyrinth exploration with boulders."

"It's comforting."

King Leandro and Petra nodded.

"It's because there's information inside the cavity."

It is also a countermeasure that I thought about after receiving the information around it. Experience in the Labyrinth is not enough.

Well, the Rutgers will be retreating from the cold water in the underground lake, where they found a hole. The samurai who participated in the training near the big cavity and the adventurers who were the original target of rescue... I don't think they will move much unless there is a reason, because there are situations where Byron remains outside and rescue can be expected.

It's just... there are monsters. This is not the case if you have any concerns about being attacked, or if you are actually put in such a situation.

It can also be assumed that it is moving slightly to ensure safety. In that case, the olfactory tracking will be effective because there are also Collis and Amber. This time, the ruggers are also building camps outside the big cavity, so it should be particularly easy to track by smell.

Queues, search teams, liaison and surveillance roles that remain outside have also been largely decided, so let's take a look at the situation on the scene and move flexibly.

Eventually, you'll see a rocky rock in the distance. There is a large cavity entrance in the vicinity.

Now - let's see the state of the spirits as planned, talk to Byron and samurai, check the situation, and then move on.
