Boundary Labyrinth and the Foreign Magician

The airship descends slowly toward the scene. In the vicinity of the large cavity, the hard rock inside is peeling out onto the surface.

The entrance to the cave is huge, and the earth looks like it's opening a giant jaw. It has a gentle slope that descends into the basement. Have you ever been listed as a candidate for sightseeing the last time you came here?

Amazing sight. Even an airship is going to let me in a little bit. "

"That entrance is spacious. It gets narrower and branches along the way, so it's not enough to put an airship in a boulder... depending on the location, there may be a large space inside."

Petra explains astonishing Ashley's words. The face of the clan was also surprised to see the large cavity.

It's just called a big cavity, and it's a powerful sight with an atmosphere like an entrance to the underground world.

A campsite is built a short distance from the entrance.

The area is also slightly maintained due to the relationship between killing monsters inside the big cavity and securing resources obtained from inside.

From above, you can see the entrance to the large cavity. Blurring and sparkling crystals peer from everywhere, and even a small area inside the large cavity can be seen without night vision. Should I say thanks to the crystal light?

There are other small entrances, and the monsters come out quite a bit. There is no decent water source because the water flows inside. If we don't dig deep enough into the big cavity to dig a well, we won't reach the water vein, so it doesn't seem like we can get to this place as a real base.

There was also a surveillance base a little further away, and the escaped adventurers were on their way to report it.

Looks like they brought the rescue team back from the local base, but they were waiting for the rescue to get in because of the shake or because we would meet.

I've received backup from the base, but I think it would be better to wait for His Majesty and Lord Boundary to arrive, so I'm still waiting.

The Byron told me about the situation. There are only a limited number of people who can guide you to the scene. The local rescue team also arrived less recently, and the manning of the transfer gate and the high-speed flight of the airship was fairly quick.

Dock the airship in the form of a sidewalk to the campsite and exit the tarp to stand on the ground.

"I'll keep you posted to the local rescue team."

"Thank you. Let me first check on the spirits."

So let me show you the spirits and the magic of the environment. Looking through one glass... there are only a lot of earthy spirits in the vicinity of the big cavity. The gnomes have a lovely atmosphere similar to the dwarves... but they seem a little restless. If there had been an earthquake, that would have been natural...

"The Spirit of Fire doesn't look like much."

Lovelia says the same.

"I don't think it was a shake caused by volcanic activity, etc."

The spirits of the wind look as usual, but they also seem to care a little about the spirits of the earth.

"Do you know what happened?

Crouching to the nearby gnome, he asked, and the gnome shook his neck sideways.

It doesn't seem like the power is activated... either. Rather, because we are under our protection, the spirits around me are now energized by that relationship... but this has nothing to do with the incident.

The gnomes are getting a little nervous. I don't know the cause, so it's not like evil spirits or anything.

"Looks like there's been a problem, and it looks like we know each other a lot. We're here to rescue you. Everyone stay safe."

When I told the gnomes who had gathered, they nodded all together. Somehow they gather around the airship, go around Corliss and Amber, climb the tarp and face off the edge of the deck... well, that won't be a problem. Collis and the others will be coming with us after this.

First of all, it's not attributed to the spirits, nor is it obvious from the spirits. A monster or some kind of magic. It means that the possibilities around it have increased.

The magic of the environment... I can feel the magic of strong earth around here, but this must be near the big cavity. It's magnificent, but it doesn't feel very swallowing.

When it comes to environmental magic and residual magic, it may vary from place to place again... Even if it comes from nature or spirits, the spirits react in tandem, so I'm sure that's not the cause... In any case, it will be necessary to look inside the large cavity and at the site to further investigate the cause.

After seeing the spirits and completing the conversation, he also talked to the local rescue team. The Byrons and King Leandro are coming with us.

"I talked to them too. They're bringing supplies, so they can help me with the rest of my command."

"Information from the local Adventurers Guild indicates that they are in contact with other adventurers."

King Leandro and Petra tell us about their conversation.

They also seem to have brought tools and supplies for rescue. Combined with what King Leandro and the others have brought aboard, we can say that we have enough supplies.

There are also local Adventurer Guild officials coming. We also know the location and number of adventurers who are working on requests and hunting near the large cavity, so we were also in the process of confirming their location.

Other teams of adventurers in the Big Cave are already evacuating the interior. Wouldn't it be natural to evacuate the interior of the cavity if there was a sway?

Speak with Byron while greeting the face of the first person.

"We're out of time."

"Oh, it's been a while."

It was something I knew when I spoke over the crystal board, but I had the impression that I had refined it considerably more than when I met you before. It looks like he's been trained more than he was before he lived in Term Wills, so he probably took his training life with Rutgers pretty seriously, and his instruction was good. There are situations where they were placed and their compatibility with the leader… I think the Byron was around there.

Still, Byron seems quite worried about the Rutgers as he greets them.

"I know something first, but I think we should focus on rescue first."

That said, Byron closed his eyes and breathed reassuringly. Then he raised his face and cut it out as if he had made up his mind.

"Well... I have a favor to ask you."

"If you want me to come with you, I don't mind."

"Are you sure?

Byron opened his eyes with a little surprise. Did you feel what I wanted to say, or did you allow me to accompany you? Or maybe both.

"Sometimes it's hard to just watch people you care about when they're in trouble. Me too... I think I know that."

That said, Byron closed his eyes as if he had been good at it. I saw the look on my face when I said I was waiting, and I felt it.

"I can see you're training pretty hard. They've been trained to be close to the Knights."

Even if I accompany you, there is a transfer magic team in case of emergency, so even if a powerful monster appears, it can be dealt with.

Byron nodded with a serious look.

We also have magic tools to show relative positions so that they don't get out of the way, so it would be good for all incoming members to be equipped with them.

It seems good to explain the spirits to everyone on the way to the scene.
