Boundary Labyrinth and the Foreign Magician

I traveled with Tesdylos and the others to the hideout where the Yoki Emperor was waiting for me.Construct a magic board and fly over the forest with Valor as your thrust.

The villagers had their eyes wide open, but when they laughed and waved their hands, they bowed back confusedly.

"Lord Theodore is moving at a fast rate."Now, let's move around using Caiyun. "

The Yoki Emperor spread the talisman, spreading the clouds as big as we could ride.It was quite prominent to move around in Caizun, but, well, I was able to expand the concealment field there.Caiyun itself was a magic god, and it was also a simple magical creature, so it was easy to maintain the magic technique by arranging it into a spell type and hiding it.

"Be careful. We look forward to welcoming you back."

Yeah, I promise.

Emperor Yoki laughed at the village chief's words and embarked on Caiyun with the faces that accompanied him.

The Yoki Emperor made the sun shade so that we could ride easily, and we continued to move.

“I don't know, let's start by aiming for a straight line where the positional relationship is clear, and then we'll move towards the hideout with Yukino's lead.”

In this case, it's the town where Lord Yukino boarded the ship.

Well then, I'll take care of the directions once you arrive.

That is to say. Spreading the map and confirming the orientation firmly, Caiyun raised the altitude, and the villagers dropped us off and moved.

"Ladies and gentlemen, thank you!" You saved my life!What you've done for me! I will never forget it!I'll definitely come back to thank you again...! "

Yukino raised her voice and thanked the villagers. The villagers smiled and waved loudly as they responded.

The appearance of the villagers who dropped me off was so far away that I could no longer see them buried in the trees around the village, and I also expanded the concealed field to make the colored clouds invisible from the outside.

Caizun was also moving straight ahead at an increased speed to keep up with it.Ythiemon once again checked the map and the orientation, and then returned to the East House of the Clouds, where everyone was resting.

"If we keep going straight, we won't have any problems arriving."

Sure.

Yoki Emperor nods to the words of Ichiemon.Sae-yun is a form of god, so it seems that she is a specialty to move as determined.

That's why I settled down in the east house built above the clouds and discussed it after I arrived there.

"Shall we take the lodge to the place where the dock is?"They will be able to play the role of a back base. "

“That's right, I don't need to worry if there's a place I can retreat to when I have to.”

Sure. You can buy yourself some time if you have some kind of defensive equipment around the inn and around the town.

After that... if it's difficult to gather information directly, you can send in Explorers and Heidar.

"The elderly in the village, the powerful, the gathering place, the house where the missing persons were taken out..."It's good to narrow it down and send it to such a place. "

It is said by King Josiah.

“That's it. Let's get to know the structure of the village and the surrounding terrain so we can move quickly when we arrive.”

Take out the lantern borrowed from Maru Lane, compare it with the map, and reproduce the structure of the village on a phantom while listening to Yukino's opinions.

I wonder if I could lend Yukino some magic power by using the external circulation alchemy to project the scenery of the village.From there, we could build a three-dimensional view with Earth Magic.

"First, you can just follow your memory and think of the landscape."

"I see. Well... the entrance to the village is like this..."

Then, Yukino projected a phantom and built it from the landscape near the entrance of the village.Yukino seems to be familiar with things in the village because she is a village pharmacist and needs to visit everywhere.

We also get information on where each person with the required information lives, and we will finalize the floor plan by displaying them as landmarks on the earth magic model.

The village... is similar to the image of a hideout in the mountains, and although it is small, the phantom itself is not so dark.It's like a village built by cutting through a forest.I don't think it would be an ordinary village if there were no commotion.It's another story about whether or not people live in abundance, and it seems that they are prepared for external enemies, such as scaffolding for sightings on trees that can be distracted by trees.

"What about the preparation of the village of Hitachinokuni?"

"I use cedar trees in preparation for the winter and try to hide them in the direction I want to monitor... they seem reasonable and easy to monitor."But... it doesn't seem to deviate from the general scope. "

Yichiemon will answer. Hmm.Isn't that special?It is not unnatural to say that it is reasonable.If you can see the improvement points when you use it, it is natural that it will be refined.There is a closed image of not having much interaction with the outside world, but it is related to the establishment of the village itself and the history to this day, and it is bad that it is not open.

Anyway, Ichiemon is also an intelligence expert on Hitaka, so I'm sure you're right about this.

We will look at the structure of the village and make a floor plan, and then expand the range around it.There is a valley nearby, and it seems to be pumping water from it.

"I don't think it's common... it's still a location."To live in the mountains so far...--That's right. Could it be the descendants of the samurai family whose origins have fallen somewhere? "

Yoki Emperor puts his hand on his chin.I see. I wonder if such a case was in the history of Japan.Village life is harvested for hunting.They say he earns his living in the field.

"The grace of the mountain itself is abundant."The same goes for the example of the forest we're in.We divide them by profession, and we take them to town, and we buy what we need with the money we get. ”

"Is that part of your job as a pharmacist to go outside?"

“Yes, the medicines are a lot of their own, so the village's income is quite dominant.”

Osgreve nodded to Yukino's explanation.

"Even if you live in hiding, there are times when you need to make contact with the outside world."In our case, the purpose is to disguise it, and it is different from the human body, so there are more parts of it that are driven by necessity than we are. "

Right. There was a little bit of an exchange of goods between Osgreve's hideout and the outside world.There was a more indispensable scene than a group of demons.

Yukino shows the forest following the surrounding terrain... but it's definitely a bright forest.It is said that not only is it depressed, but there are many wild vegetables and mushrooms, and many deer, which plays a major role in the self-sufficiency of the village.

In fact, until the mystery concealment happened, it seemed like it was a place where children only could enter the shallow part...

Have you actually seen the liturgy behind the forest, Yukino?

"No. They say it's a no-go place, so you can't see far from the entrance to the place where the stone tablet is..."

So we know where it is.

As for Yukino's phantom... I see.Going down the forest path, there is a lantern... There is a stone staircase leading to the back, which is definitely an impression of an entrance.

If you know where it is, you can investigate.I think it's probably the main order this time.

Then, as the positional relationship with the surrounding terrain, the location of the liturgical monument, etc. progressed while constructing a three-dimensional view of the earth magic... Eventually, Yukino saw the station town on the boat.
