Boundary Labyrinth and the Foreign Magician

"There you are."

When I crept through the door, the shopkeeper rang out like that.

... The odd irritating smell of nose that can stand in the store is the same. The identity of the odor is also unknown.

The owner is the same again. He greeted me with his cheek cane on the counter in a careless manner.

Alchemist Beatrice. As soon as he came to Termwilds, he is the person he met in his introduction to the Adventurer Guild. In my previous request, I was asked to make Cadkeus, the demon of use.

"I'd like to ask you what happened to your previous request."

"Oh, that one."

Beatrice comes out with a glass vial and a thick book. In the bottle, a light pink powder was seen.

An example - the medicine Kathleen was trying to serve to her father.

If you don't take the expert's hand, it won't be obvious. I asked for an investigation to identify the medication first. I mean, there were no other handouts.

Everyone has their own business today, so I asked Beatrice about the progress because I have no plans.

"It's not a regular drug, it's a magic drug. Hey, this is... I also scratched around the warehouse and it's been a long time since I've been allowed to do research, making me a feather to fish to pretty old literature Wow"

… is it a special medicine to the extent that an alchemist with a skill in arms does the research?

"Thanks for that. I'm sorry to bother you."

"Though I don't think it's a hassle because I'm also going to study"

And, Beatrice.

Somehow her expression is bright, so - can we hope for results?

"Judging by characteristics such as smell and color, I can usually narrow my candidacy to a few... I can't find anything that looks like that inside. Fishing for your master's secrets from your teacher's generation, I don't feel like I'm finally here."

Thick books smell a lot like mold... secrets from two generations ago, huh? I don't know if it's a pretty valuable book.

"… does this require an extra charge,"

If it's information from the alchemist's secretary, I don't think it's worth the money I asked for.

"Hmm? It only makes sense to charge the amount I said at the time of the negotiations, right? I didn't study enough when I saw the wrong amount of money to charge. This time it's a new one with a lot more knowledge."

and push the book forward.

... I see. Originally only an introduction to the Adventurer Guild, Beatrice seems to have credibility, both professionally and ethically.

Or... maybe it's because I misjudged the amount of the claim that I was talking about in the part called Pride as an Alchemist.

"Well, thank you for watching."

When I opened the page where the sticky note was pinched, there was a description of the magic drug that would "mouth Arlaune".

Sometimes it just becomes the name of the medicine, and the root of Arlaune is the main ingredient, but it seems...

There are many parts of it that I don't know what it means to read. It seems that metaphors, cover-ups, and encryption have been made just to say the Alchemist's secret book.

Beatrice explained to me whether she understood it or not, first from the point where she was most concerned about the effects of the drug.

"There are magic pills that can take away the free will of those who took them and manipulate them as the first to call them names. The side being manipulated has no memories in between."

Listen, I accidentally flaunt my face. I see. It seems more desirable than poison or sleeping pills for Kathleen to bring it up on that spot.

"Mouth of Arlaune. First of all, it's a drug that won't be used in a decent way."

And Beatrice says: I agree. I discovered it from the labyrinth chest as insurance, so I don't know what to tell you about the appraisal.

The effect seems to be temporary… due to its properties, it will be possible to keep drinking it during the effect time as long as it is in stock.

On the Earth side, I've heard stories about voodoo having zombie powder that makes people look like zombies, but it could be something similar.

If it's this medicine, it would be great for Kathleen to outdo that steep field. You think you're gonna manipulate your father to solve a problem, or you're gonna do slave magic while you're depriving him of his free will?

"It's a pretty valuable pill. Hey, this is... I don't know, maybe I can't tell future generations? Of course they keep it a secret."

"I guess..."

"There are many raw materials that are quite rare, and the manufacturing process takes time and effort"

It also says how to make it. This part is also encrypted and lying low. Naturally, the manufacturing method is also set in secret.

"There's no item there, Arlaune's roots mean dry, powdered, and then hit the full moon light again and again."

I know it will take months just for that one item... If the full moon day is cloudy or rainy, it won't go as planned, and maybe we need to see it on an annual basis.

It also taught me the raw materials - except for Arlaune, is it once procurable in the labyrinth? Even if we collect them, if we say so in BFO, we will need more than medium strength.

Keeping manipulating with this medicine all the time seems a little tight in terms of cost and supply. It's probably the only substitute I can use when I'm here.

"Arlaune needs to let Mandragola suck people's blood. It blooms in the execution yard. I don't know what they're gonna say."

Mutant species of mandragola, should I say?

Well, in any case... I know it's not something you can get around there. Naturally, Kathleen has been abusing this from time to time, because it's hard to think.

Then Kathleen... comes to talk about where she got this stuff from. Since you found out what you were doing to me and your position was in jeopardy, were you prepared to use it as a last resort when the clouds finally became suspicious?

In the first place. Kathleen, who is not familiar with magic, also knows such a secret drug...

As a possible line from the cone she has - it would still be the Marquis Broderick family.

Whether the Marquis is involved in the personnel of his servants or not, if Byron takes the lead, he'll have more influence.

If Kathleen had a sense of crisis about me, it wouldn't be strange to think that the Marquis would be worthy of having this ready.

Kathleen sent me a letter so I could pick it up when she visited Termwilds, he said.

If you hit the Broderick Marquis, or the aristocrats close to the Marquis, the pharmacists, the alchemists, etc. who hold you, your business partners, etc.... why don't you narrow down the origin of this medicine, too?

Then you're Sheila's handler from here on out. Looks like you could use an investigation on the Bandit Guild's information network.

"Can I help you?

"Yep. Very helpful"

pay for success. Beatrice, who receives it, frowns with a surprising face.

"... sounds like a lot?

"If you do a good job, as a customer, I think it makes sense to play the payment"

"I see. If that's the case, I'd appreciate it. I'll keep you company."

Beatrice laughed. Well, there's a stopping fee or something.

In some cases, he kept the money he had taken when he left Count's territory without spending it with the intention of returning it.

If Kathleen was disturbed, I thought it would always come to me to thank her for the money.

But things are changing. When I return this, my father doesn't feel sorry for me the other way around, so I feel like my money has floated in the air.

Quit Beatrice's shop and walk through town in contemplation.

The source of the medicine is the same, but I have been concerned that it has not fallen to my heart in the past few days.

I mean, who - gave Byron information about my house? Would those servants who don't even give Kathleen information give him that information?

If you followed my father right out of the house, you'd be stuck with my father waiting in the carriage. If so, then the only time Byron found out where my house was is after that.

It is hard to imagine that the Marquis gave the information. Even if the Marquis were to pass on the information, they would first pass on my title and encourage restraint.

A few days have passed since then, but the uproar in the Count's house has not been rumored as it appears to be successfully containment. It comes through via Alfred if it is.

Who did that for what?

I don't feel the purpose of using Byron to cause disturbances is the same.

It's a bit of a "within measure" to ask for information and pack it into my house with immediate shortcomings...

Hmm. Like thinking about making a connection trying to pull Byron in?

If so, it would mean that he failed because he immediately ran short. You must have moved on the assumption that you knew my title, but it's a missing story between us.

I don't know who did what I was going to do... but I don't see one yet. If we follow the interests, we'll be able to narrow this one down any day.

If you want to do something for me, not the Count's house, I'll make sure to take action again.

My parents calmed down first - but the thanks for scratching people's homes around will have to be done.
