Boundary Labyrinth and the Foreign Magician

I understand.

Yes. I still want to choose the path of diplomatic relations with you. It's true that we need to take steps to move forward, but what I'm hearing now at ...... is that this desire is stronger than ever.

"As for me, I will not be able to answer this story until I have your permission to share it with my country. ...... I should like to inform you that my sentiments are the same as those of His Majesty Leandre.

At King Leandre's and my words, King Dortorius nodded as he closed his eyes.

'It is a pleasure to have you show understanding.

'Lord Theodore seems to have a lot of ideas about the events that are so close to us.

'Yes. There are some magical creatures that are close to us in our immediate surroundings, but I believe that people such as ...... Castrum and the Eastern Mourning Goddesses have characteristics and origins that are particularly close to those of the people of this country.

Some magical creatures have built up a self-consciousness from interacting with me, but Castrum has a spontaneous part to it. The mourners are more like spirits than Navel and King Dortorius and the others, though.

None of them increase on their own, but the Papetians are pretty close in terms of impressions and the way they increase their own kind. In the sense that they are a puppet-type demon race that was born as a result of transformation by the demon world, they may have a similar history to the inhabitants of the subterranean kingdom.

''That's something I'd love to talk to you about.

'We can relay the message through the crystal plate. They are trustworthy, so controlling the spread of information is not a problem.

When I told him that, King Dortorius looked interested, ''Hoho,'' he said.

''We're in a state of coordination in each country right now. It might be a good idea to explain the situation on the ground and about us. That is, if circumstances and time permit.

'As it stands, we're still waiting to hear from the ...... front lines, though. One of our concerns is gone now that Navel is back, though.

When the catastrophe struck, Lord Navel acted as master and sent the troops home in one piece.

I see. It seems that they are working on a response. It's a good idea to have a little more time to talk.

I'm not going to be able to tell you what to do. I really, really appreciate it.

When Rutger bowed, King Dortorius and the others agreed with him.

I personally was curious about ...... what you just said. Do we know the location of the former collection point and other information?　Or it could be that this city itself is--

'No. It was chosen for the location of the veins and the convenience of the lava pools. I'm told that the original accumulation point was ...... much further west.

West ...... West?

What's your concern with the location of the collection point?

'Yes. I'm interested in the location, but I'm also interested in the people who built the collection point. They never came back, but you said that the ...... accumulation point also disappeared.

King Dortorius nodded as he answered that to Navel.

'Yes, I did. ─ Yes, I have told you exactly what the legend says. I have told you what the legends say, and there is no one left who has seen the missing collection point. "No one left to say they saw the missing collection point, but we have a long life ahead of us, just as we have a child to raise.

I see, yeah. It's not a one-size-fits-all thing, but it can't increase on its own, and it has a lifespan. One of the concerns about the rebellion of magical creatures is that they can multiply indefinitely in an uncontrolled state, but that's not the nature of it.

Anyway, let's continue talking about the accumulation point.

I've been thinking a little bit about those events, and I'm wondering ...... if there's a connection to that. There are certain circumstances that we need to ask the people involved in order to confide in them, so we'll have to get permission from both sides.

I don't know if it's related to the incident that's happening underground right now, but if there's a connection in that area, it could be important information.

If it's not related to the incident, it won't make much difference to the underground kingdom, even if it's revealed now.

I'm curious. Do you think the people involved are people you can trust?

'Yes. They're also people I'm pretty close to and intimate with.

When he replied, King Dortorius seemed to ponder for a little while, but eventually he nodded, "We'll allow it.

After receiving King Dortorius' permission, I contacted him with the crystal plate, telling him our history. The parties involved immediately responded.

''It's true, there is a part of you that thinks about the relevance.''

And it was Elena who answered that. In the relayed video, Gabriella and Quentin are also there.

Yup. It was Beshmerk who thought that they might be related. There's a collection point west of Draffdeniya. That would position them as spell creatures, not magical creatures, but ...... high technology, and they would have needed such resources on a scale that was organized, etc., etc., etc., etc., etc., even if they were ...... related. There is no mystery.

And if we're going to talk about something that has to do with Beshmerk and the magical world, then we have to talk about the moon and the labyrinth. Claudia, Queen Aurelia and Queen Megiastra were also listening to the conversation behind the crystal plate.

'About the plan to mine the underground resources, ...... right? At the time, I was only a princess and didn't have any real power, so I don't know the specifics of the plan, but I have heard of ...... it.''

It was Partheniora who said that. After all. It's a good thing that you're able to have a good time with your friends.

"The location of the location is such that we thought it was related to Beshmerk, but ...... that country has been distancing itself from us in recent years due to the unsettled atmosphere.

King Dortorius responds to Partheniora's words.

'The first king ...... Xanaelk has already fallen.'

Elena and the others explain the history of the situation in Beshmerk, based on its connection to the gates of the demon world.

Conflict between the spellcasting kingdoms of the Moon People. The management of the gate by ...... generations of princess priestesses and parthenias to the establishment of the magic storm and the demon world. The rise of Xana Elk and the departure and sealing of Elena.

And meeting us. The battle against Xanaelk. When I told them those stories, King Dortorius and the others listened intently to them. I'm not going to be the only one who has been in the same boat with them.

'I didn't expect ...... to find a story with support and evidence for the story before the founder. What a fate.

King Dortorius stayed like that for a while, then returned to his gaze and continued.

'We have some idea of what you've just said. We know that part of the village has disappeared, but our investigations have shown that it was gutted. Besides, ...... the thing that struck me was the story of the demon sea.

The Sea of Monsters, eh? From Loongard to the demon world. It's not just a matter of how many times you've been in the past, it's also a matter of how many times you've been in the past.

They have undergone a transformation in the demon world and the demon sea has become a danger zone. ......

The trapped sea and the special demons that live there. We have identified fossils from old strata and other such things that we have found. It's not unique to the ...... area, but the problem that's going on now is actually a result of these circumstances and our bodies as well. I would like to have you guys listen to me and give me your opinion.

I see. That's something we've been wondering about as well. The information about Beshmerk, curse laws, and the sea of the demon world will lead to the present day of the underground kingdom, huh?

Well then, let's hear what King Dortorius has to say, and then we'll formulate a policy on what to do.
