Boundary Labyrinth and the Foreign Magician

First of all, will it be observed from the outside?I used my shoulder glasses to keep an eye on the movement of my magic power.

A lantern stands at the entrance and a stone staircase leads behind it.This is what Yukino asks.

We should move cautiously.Slowly reach outside and inside the lanterns while strengthening the concealed field... on the border.

Touch it, but there's nothing there.At the moment... there's nothing unusual about both the life and magic reactions.

The entrance part... doesn't look particularly unusual in terms of magic.

I can't use the equipment made by the inhabitants of the village...

There is nothing strange about it.On the other hand... is it any wonder that some of the old residents are familiar with some kind of art?

I'll take a moment to find out if there's anything I can do around here... but I don't think there's anything like it.

I think it would have been easier to use Varros' gravitational and magic wave sonar... I don't think we should do anything yet that would affect the range beyond the concealed field.

I stepped inside the lantern.It will take a little time because it will progress while observing whether there is any change in magic power or preparation, etc., but if you do it first, it should also be useful when other aspects come later, so you must thoroughly investigate.At least, I can say that it's okay to go through the stone staircase normally.

As you go step by step... it feels like the temperature is slowly falling.There was no place on the road that had a strong magic response - but it was just beyond that.As you approach the center, it becomes clear that there is something at the end of the stone steps.There was a sign of magic.

There's no sign of intimidation at the moment.It just conveys that there is something strong.Even if I couldn't sense the magic power, I could still feel the air that was different from the others.I also know that the people in the town don't usually get close.

There is a torii gate at the end of the stone staircase.

'That's a torii. This side is a mundane one.That side is defined as the Divine Zone.Although it is by human hand itself...... "

“Okay, I'm going to move more carefully from here.”

Yoki nodded to Emperor Yoki's cautionary call.It was different from the entrance with the lantern.In the case of the torii gate, the other side has the meaning of a shrine area, which is the same in Japan as in Hitaka.

Even if it was people who built the structure itself, it is important to know whether it has that meaning.

First, I didn't show my face, but refracted the light to see what was going on.

Beyond the torii gate, the forest is slightly reclaimed and looks like a square.

"There's a big rock..." Should I call it "Iwato"?There is a hole in the center, and a stone tablet is built behind it.

I couldn't sense the magic response just by refracting the light.You need to look through monoculars or feel it on your skin.

For now, there weren't any people, and there was no sign of anything other than the flow of magic.

"A strong magic force is flowing... but it doesn't seem like someone is there or something is manifesting."I'll show you what I can see. "

Build an illusion in the concealed field and show it to everyone through the Explorer.

Oiwa and Iwato, huh. Since ancient times, strange rocks and boulders are considered to be unusual for humans.Sometimes it's called the Divine Body itself.I can see how you can create these areas in the mountains.Did you encounter a strong presence and phenomenon in this neighborhood and create a place of worship?Or was there a suitable place to worship, so I don't know if it was established as a sacred area as the place of existence...... I don't know the identity or the origin of the people in the village. "

Yoki Emperor says. Did you worship an anomaly because you encountered it?Or was there something that was originally enshrined, so this place was used as a sacrifice site?In any case, there is no doubt that it is a sacrificial presence of the inhabitants of the hiding place.Whether the emotion to be directed is awe, or whether some benefit will be reaped by faith.

In order to clarify the source of the magic power, I checked it visually.But I haven't stepped across the torii gate yet.

Float slightly and float to a height that you can see with your eyes.

I felt like my skin was frizzy.

... it's quite powerful. Like cold air crawling through the ground... I could see magic flowing around the boulders.

But...

The source of the magic power--not from the stone tablet inside Iwato, but from behind the boulder?

The central point of magic is not a stone tablet.It looked like it was crawling through the ground from the back.

'It is impossible to place a tablet in front of you so that you cannot see the real thing.In fact, the front liturgy itself is lined up with words that express respect... but from the perspective of a magician, it looks like it doesn't make much sense. "

Yoki Emperor says.

"The front stone did not serve as a seal from the very beginning."

That's what happens. Is there something else on the other side... or? "

Do you want to go around to the back while keeping your distance so that you don't enter the given area?You should be able to see from the outside without entering the realm.

Even if the area is larger than it should be, if you're going to touch it, you'll see it in a sensory way... I see.Let's be careful.

I used Oriharkon to modify the magic power around the concealed field, turning it into something close to the magic power of the environment.

It was a magic net for detection.I can tell by touching it from here, but I don't realize that it touched something different because it's in the cover-up field.

While keeping a good distance, I went around the area that had been maintained around the boulder.

It is not clear yet whether the area falls within the maintained range.I sharpened the sensation of the detection net so that I wouldn't accidentally touch it directly.

If you take the time to carefully turn around... oh.From the back, after all. Magic was leaking from the boundary between the boulders and the ground.Besides, I saw a piece of boulder chipped and cracked and fell to the ground like rubble.

Was it really on our side that we needed to fix it?

And... the source of that magic... is that...?

"... I interfere unnoticed.That seems to be something I need to look into first in order to deal with.I'll just concentrate a little bit. ”

That said, everyone's expression tightens a bit.He'll be watching me quietly to help me concentrate.

Let's get started.

Use Queen Jela's Jewels to increase her magic ranged abilities.The magic power that matches the wavelength and nature of the environment's magic power remains intact.I slowly stretched my magic net across the concealed field.

Thin, long, slow. Like a needle or a thread.Don't be distracted by the space. I touched the realm and looked at it... but there was no change in my magic power.

Yeah, I guess so. If my guess is correct, it shouldn't be able to tell yet.

While concentrating, I took the time to touch the roots of the boulder, the source of magical power... and faintly touch the reactions that can be seen.

Ah-oh. I'll pull back my extended magic power and carefully dissipate the interference in the process.After fully retracting the extended magic power, I looked at the situation.I took the time to check the condition and then took a breath after confirming that there was no change in the situation.

"... there are a few things I've figured out.I will leave the Explorer as a watchdog a little further away and return to you. ”

We need to be ready to respond.And even when you're ready... it's probably more necessary to verify than to act single or close to it...
