Boundary Labyrinth and the Foreign Magician

It's about time - will it fit when I see it?

The cramped path between the mountains has been going on for some time. One mountain suddenly opens its sight as it passes through the murderous rocks, and the panoramic view of Termwilds from the heights and the ocean plains behind it pop into your eyes.

"Oh, whoa! Awesome!

"Wow..."

I hear the Forestbirds cheering from outside the carriage. I could see my mouth angle rising unexpectedly due to the reaction I expected.

"Mr. Theo! Mr. Grace! It's amazing!

and Lucien informs me from your seat in an excited manner.

Glimpsing his face through the carriage window with Grace, there was a spectacular view there.

"This is... amazing indeed..."

Grace also leaked an exclamation at the sight. I can see my mind coming to the sight I'll see in a while, too. Honestly, I think Termwilds is the best place to look from this height.

If the day comes when a tourist magazine will be made like Japan, the photos from around here will adorn the cover when the Termwilds feature.

Termwilds is a city with exterior walls almost shaped close to a true circle. The first thing you will notice will be Theorem, the royal castle that stands in the heart of the city. I show you the silhouette with the sunset and the sea plains on my back.

Theorem is an enormous, high-rise building that can never be found in any other city. Its beauty, lined with high spires that rush through heaven, overwhelms all who see. The royal castle, made of white stone, was so majestic that it was hard to devote itself to the brush tongue.

As it leans against Theorem, a temple is distributed that serves as the entrance to the labyrinth. Unlike Theorem, which has an insane size, it's a relatively large building... but that was designed to be affectionate to the royal castle later.

The streets of Termwilds extend around such castles and temples. The closer you are to the center, the older the building becomes, and the more stone styled buildings you will find. Conversely, the more common sense buildings go to the outer peripheral side.

Both that castle and the city in the centre... they say it was originally part of the labyrinth, but the authenticity is uncertain. If it's true, it's like using the ruins as they are, but the structure itself seems decent, except that the inside of the castle is either out of scale or decoration. Decent means it's not labyrinthine, that's all.

"I heard the story, but it's amazing."

It seems that Forestbird also admired border cities, but he thought for now that he had gained strength in the region. Therefore, this is the first time that everyone has actually visited a border city.

"There's a labyrinth in the basement of that city."

"So is this place."

When I put a supplementary explanation in Monica's words, everyone's gaze gathered.

"Huh?"

"No, so. Underneath the road I'm on, inside this little mountain, too, it's good to think that the whole labyrinth is spreading. I can see it from here, so can the mountains over there."

"What, so...?

"No, the inside of the mountain was originally a mine, but it was eroded by the labyrinth and the internal structure changed."

The Great Labyrinth of Life is what they say it is. They change not only the structure, but the environment itself, even where plants thrive like forests that should have gone down underground. Forest zoning Although "Night Dark Forest" is completely different from normal ecosystems.

Some areas are connected to the sea... but around that lower level isn't submerged, I guess it's still different than normal.

It is often possible to move between the compartment and the compartment by transfer, and it is not possible to know (as if) what is going on with the overall structure of the labyrinth. Thanks to you, scholars and researchers will hold their heads every day. There were some quests to field research with Neuroses creepy researchers.

When we sort it out to make an overall map, a view map, there's obviously something wrong with the size of the compartment because of the positional relationship and the internal structure, or there's been more new places and fewer places that weren't supposed to be there before in the first place... That's what usually comes out. It's like a monstrous conversation.

That's why they say it's a borderline city or something. The "old pit" and other places just below this place are relatively low-risk common sense labyrinths because they are shallow hierarchies, but the deeper you dive, the more gradually you strip out the anomalies, and the demons that come out become more dangerous. The search for deep hierarchies does not proceed as late.

"Sorry... I might have been licking Termwilds"

"The Great Labyrinth won't be able to return to its original location when you go to a different hierarchy or compartment, so just be careful there. I think you do."

"There's a one-way door... Was it?

"I mean... that's the structure of all the stairs up and down the 10th floor and beyond. I hear the one-way door that leads to the next compartment is starting to see and understand."

It's a hearsay, but it's a real experience. There was one sentence like that in the book I read in my father's study, and it would be well within common sense.

"So once you get in the back of the labyrinth, how do you get home?

And, Grace. It is the most important question. Though this one seems to know the face of Forestbird.

"A stone called the Transformation Stone is rolling inside... and if you use it in front of a stone tablet that dots it, you can go home. A red transboundary stone will allow you to return immediately, but with it, you won't be able to bring back what you picked up inside the labyrinth."

"Is red for emergency evacuation?"

"That's the thing. By the way, I can't bring back a normal transboundary stone. Except for the red turning boulder stone, which can be taken out of the labyrinth, it comes with a high price. Many people die in error because they want to bring back red and can't use it in situations where they should, so it's good to discuss and decide in advance how to use red when this is the case"

When entering the labyrinth, a hierarchy that went once from the stone tablet at the entrance to the labyrinth can be transferred... but normal transboundary stones collapse when taken outside the labyrinth. The deeper the hierarchy, the higher the risk of transferring.

So the transboundary stones only function inside the Great Labyrinth, and local procurement is fundamental.

I can't go home because I don't have a transboundary stone when I find a stone tablet, or I get lost when I go looking for a transboundary stone, and the demon kills me there and I go back to death... so that happens. Unlike BFO, there is no return to death.

"Right. Shall we discuss this later, then? I'm sorry to rub you or die like that."

Robin nodded together when he said it. Forrest Bird will be fine for this.

"A transboundary stone could also transfer supplies from within the labyrinth, right?

Lucien leaned his neck and asked, so he nodded.

"Yeah. Lines draw like white ink (chalk)... we can create a simple transfer gate to transfer goods. Maybe if we went to the guild to get permission to get down to the labyrinth, we'd have something like a light lesson."

"I don't like to learn details like that."

Fitz frowned.

"I don't think it's that hard. Not from what I read in the book."

You can send items from inside the labyrinth to that location by drawing a pre-paired exit magic formation outside the labyrinth.

This magic formation doesn't mind drawing with normal ink if the drawings are correct, but the drawer doesn't function unless he's the same person. It would be preferable to write it down for the whole party.

So in border cities, businesses like rental warehousemen are formed. A rental warehouse is also located in an inn, which is also included in the accommodation fee for adventurers… It is a rare time to write a transfer magic team in an inn room that is not.

Because the creatures cannot be sent with normal transboundary stones, but fire and other hazards can also be considered.

"Theo, you know something."

"I studied in books."

"... what else should I be aware of?

"I guess I'll check my age carefully when I get down to the labyrinth on transfer from the entrance. Regardless of the new moon...... you should definitely avoid full moon days. Well, I'm sure the staff at the entrance will be aware of that."

"What happens...?

"On the New Moon Day, the walls just close, open, and move, and the route just changes, but on the Full Moon Day, from the entrance, it seems, the very place being transferred becomes a danger zone."

They will, or they will.

They call it the back labyrinth among BFO players... well, it's delicious for money.

"I'm scared enough that the walls are closed or open."

"It's going to change where no one's seen it, so I guess it's not that dangerous. If you know the timing from the start, you won't get lost in the preconceived notion, and it won't have the structure of being impossible to escape. Just after the new moon and the full moon, new treasures will drift from the back, so it's not what you're after."

I don't hear about dead sandwiched in structural changes or the partying being broken up, so maybe it's user friendly there... the map is basically useless on crescent moon nights, and I have to rewrite it regularly even if I want to take advantage of it.

Although it is possible to take measures due to the fact that objects of the same nature and attributes are gathered in the same compartment, depending on the propensity of the place to head.

"I've told you a lot, but you're not even that far up to about 20 hierarchies. When you think about whether to move on, it's a good idea to see if you can afford it with or without a shifting stone."

"Theo, I can't be relieved if you're not there."

"Right."

Rude.

"Who made this for what?"

Grace asked questions about the root.

"It's a testing ground, it's protecting ancient treasures... they say a lot. I don't really understand the truth. 'Cause there's no record of the deepest part, and there's no one I've ever seen."

Because there is a labyrinth there, I used it all the time, and I made it all the way to the city around me, so I don't know if it's possible to be human.

As we speak and listen to that inside the labyrinth, Term Wills approaches us step by step.

Down the small high mountains and through the hilly areas, the meadows were spreading there. A sloppy path leads to Termwilds.

The sun is about to go down... and there's a long line of snakes at the outer gate to get into the city. This is a big city, so I can get into the city day and night... but for this minute it's going to take a long time to wait in order.
