Boundary Labyrinth and the Foreign Magician

The capital of the kingdom of Einfeus has a clear air that is unique to the forest. The royal castle is close to the lake, so the view is open, and the view is pleasant and comfortable.

Even though King Ignard and Ordia are both admired for their work in the castle, they sometimes show meticulous concern for the two of us who fought in the last incident.

Even here, the children seemed to be healing the women, headed by Maura. When I look at her face, she looks like she cares a lot about her expression, and whether it's cold or not. Grace and the other girls got along with the ladies who loved their kids. I could see her gently laughing.

While spending time at the Imperial Castle in such a fashion, I was allowed to stay in the forest capital for a day or two.

The venue for the martial arts tournament is set in the square in front of the castle, and there seems to be no room for preparation, coordination, confirmation work, or rehearsal for the rustic, martial arts, and civil servants.

The people who worked at the castle seemed to be a little busy, but there was also a festive aspect of martial arts, so everyone seemed to be having fun. I can see that the city is getting busy with more and more visitors every day.

I guess it was because I was holding back the inheritance battle. It seems that there are quite a few small matches in the city.

This is an unofficial match, but it seems to be allowed if it was properly reported and orderly.

Before the festival, it was also a clear stage for the militant clans. It's just... if we just stand out and look at it, it's predicted that those of us who are there will be hustled and unable to clean it up.

While the people in the capital were busy avoiding the Beast King's inheritance battle, it was awkward to cause chaos, so I got permission to send a Explorer to watch a little game in secret.

Even if it is a wild game of mixed stones, Einfeus is a beastman's country with excellent physical abilities, and it is a country where martial arts and martial arts flourish.

Not to mention that there are many talented people who want to show their skills and sell their faces during this period of refraining from inheritance battles.

In fact, even though it was an informal match, a variety of fighting skills, body arts, and martial arts popped up, and everyone could enjoy it during their stay without being bored.

Even if it is not as good as the candidate, it is known that the talented people are showing their faces in each clan, so it seems that it is also a place for talent excavation and exchanges, such as showing their faces in connection and solicitation.

King Ignard and Ura Seal, who saw the relay video of the crystal plate, nodded as if they were convinced that they had found the faces of their acquaintances there. Well... how to use the information around here is in Einfeus. People visiting scouts don't hide their faces in particular, so it's not really a secret, and I don't think I should worry too much about it.

So... the day of the Beast King's inheritance battle comes. I've been told about the ceremony and the schedule... but it seems that I'll start by asking questions from the Beast King and the clan leader.

So after confirming the suitability and perception of the candidates, we will enter into a battle between the candidates.

All those who gathered as candidates confirmed that there was no problem with their suitability as king of beasts, and the chiefs of the clans declared this in front of the people, and the candidates showed their martial arts skills.

It is said that participation in martial arts battles is left to free will...

"Still, of course, those who can fight, but also the clansmen who are not good at fighting ability are always competing." I think the goal is to show you the courage to fight. "

King Ignard also explained the process of the inheritance battle to me at the breakfast table. It is said that in the case of a clan that is known to have poor combat abilities, the combination will be considered.

"It must be a rite of passage as a candidate for the Beast King around here... and it might mean that you want to make yourself known to the public."

“Well, it's a great opportunity to get to know yourself. Races that are not militants have a good reputation because they have achievements in other parts of the world. In such scenes, oral communication has become a topic of discussion among the public and is said to be widely known."

"I see..."

There must be parts that are necessary to convince a certain race to be able to control it.

"It seems like you really need to have the courage."

"Hmm. There's a lot of things we can negotiate..."

Rosemary and Claudia's feelings were affirmed by King Ignard with a slight sinister smile on his face. I can tell you've been through a lot as a Beast King. Even if you say you have strong skills, you won't be able to negotiate in Japan.

In any case, when the inheritance battle starts, the candidates will come to the Royal Castle in turn, and ask questions with the Beast King and the clan leaders.

Once the questions are answered, they are kept in the Imperial Castle. This is to ensure that the content of the questions is not passed on to future candidates.

I understand that we try to be as fair as possible in the Beast King inheritance battle, so that the advantageous and disadvantageous do not work.

When the questions are finished, the candidates will play against each other.

That's the way it's going to be.

The format of the match will be a tournament match. The defeated will eventually be able to fight the Beast King.

"However, if you behave cowardly in battle, or if there are any special circumstances in Einfeus and abroad at that time, you may object."

"I can't lie in situations where courage is required..." is a way of looking at the values and things of beasts. Some families have abilities, skills, positions, connections, and knowledge that are not conducive to substitution. ”

Ulla Seal gave me a supplementary explanation.

"In any case, it will eventually be a form of consultation and voting between the Beast King and the clan leaders, and if necessary, verification and demonstration. Whether the claim is valid. If the winner doesn't deserve it - or even better - who will be the next Beast King?”

It seems that many times in the Beast King inheritance battle, clans other than the militants are selected as the Beast King. Well, as long as there's nothing left to do, it seems that the one who survives will be the Beast King.

The philosophy that can be seen from such a system... is that force is an important factor for those who become Beast King, but it is not absolute.

All you need is your talent as a king. As the king who leads the flock, the ancestral beast king, the clan leader, and the people... all have the recognized courage and ability.

"Incidentally, the same clan as the present king of beasts cannot continue to be the king of beasts, and the retired king of beasts cannot be the head of the clan. This is to avoid the concentration of power on specific families and individuals."

It is said by King Ignard. In other words, there was no Beastman of the same clan as King Ignard.

"Just because you have a variety of Beastmen, Elves, Dwarfs, Lizard Man, and other races inside, you can see a variety of ingenuity and thought for many races as a system..." Einfeus may have had a lot of things in his long history... but I get the impression that the crystals were shaped in it. ”

”Fufu. The ancestors will be happy to hear it.”

"That's right... it was never a flat path."

Ignard broke his face and Ulla Seal smiled quietly as he thought about what had happened in the process leading up to it. I suspected that Urachir had seen many things only for long-lived elves.

"Hmm. More recently, in the case of Berkfritz and the others." Regardless, it may be a little free time during the questioning, but the martial arts battle will be a spectacular one. "

"That's right. I'm looking forward to seeing all the candidates and some magical warriors with excellent body skills."

At the opening ceremony, after King Ignard's mouth, we will also show ourselves in the audience and give a light greeting. After that, we'll spend the rest of the day at the castle and in the auditorium until the game starts.
