Boundary Labyrinth and the Foreign Magician

- 20 floors underground.

When you knock the door out of the branch, it's a different world.

Slightly resembles the upper cave area. Natural rocky skin or a drooping mammary sinus.

Magic Light Water Vein. The biggest feature is that submerged areas are more common than normal passages. So it's hard to keep exploring deep without diving into the water. The water veins are believed to be connected to the sea, mixed with brine and sea water.

"... beautiful"

Peek into the brilliant water into Cellian Blue and Illumhilt squeaks.

Whether underwater or in the ceiling, there is a glowing crystal on the rocky skin, illuminating the interior of the cave in mysterious shades. Water is very transparent and there are many light sources. It was another interesting, fantastic sight unlike the forest of the night darkness.

"It's winter... you're not that cold"

I touched the water just a little bit and Ashley leaked her thoughts.

"I wonder if it's because there's a hot water vent. Or maybe because it's a labyrinth."

"Hot water... what?

Sheila tilts her neck.

"There's a place where hot water is erupting. Don't get too close if you see it. Because it burns."

And I said, pointing to the ejection hole that's releasing hot water with the foam.

Leaving the Night Dark Forest, I tried to attack the Demonic Light Watercourse... combining enhanced responsiveness for everyone and the search for sealed doors.

There is also a reason that the Knights exploration has not progressed inside about this compartment.

The reasons for not making progress in exploration will be obvious. Because there are too many places to explore without measures such as underwater breathing and walking on water. Then, naturally, the part of our exploration that is submerged will dominate.

"Everyone has underwater breathing magic props and red turning boulders, right?

Get confirmation just in case. Everyone snorts, but those are insurance in the event of a

We must naturally assume that we will fight underwater in order to explore in the demonic waters. Therefore, exploration will proceed in ways other than underwater breathing and walking on water.

"Bubble Shield"

Water, wind composite. Class 4 magic bubble shield. I'm going to continue my exploration in the form of working underwater while still in a large bubble.

If this is the case - we will not be in a situation where water prevents us from operating during an attack in battle. On the other hand, the enemy cannot attack without sticking his head in the bubble. It makes it easier to prevent accidental strikes because of the sound of water when entering the bubble.

"Don't force it until we're both used to it because it's sensibly restrictive"

"Okay."

"I'll be careful."

"If that's the case, I'll take the lead until I get used to it."

Grace cuts ahead and goes into the water.

Sheila and Illumhilt usually have an excellent sense of detection, so when it's restricted, it's different.

Cadkeus is now a Mallane escort, as Lavine was attached to Ashley. Let's just say I follow your lord.

Well - underwater exploration.

A blue world of fantastic beauty yet fuelling anxiety somewhere rooted. Mallane doesn't seem to be the only one whose sights are rare. Everyone is looking around and moving on.

"Coming."

Before I went any further, I ran into a demon. Grace, who was leading the way, draws attention.

A flock of silver fish - a blade fish.

It is a fish demon whose fins are as sharp as blades. He specializes in the modus operandi of jumping up to the surface of the water in a herd and slicing it apart without mistake.

Split into avant-garde guards to distribute targets.

A group of fish storming through the bubbles. From the side of the touch he grinds with Grace's axe and cleaves it with Sheila's dagger. There is no danger in its appearance. Simple arrangements like these would be their specialty.

I'll get out of here once and for all. Swim over the head of the avant-garde and divide the enemy regiment by creating ice walls so as to block the enemy attempting to head for the rear guard.

Lavine puts together an approaching group of fish and traps them with ice, where Ashley grinds them around with long mace.

Illumhilt hits the bow without looking at the arrow. The strings rang and the noise passed through the water, and the fish group began to argue with each other.

Mallane closes his eyes and sets up a fine sword. Unchanted. Defense is left to Cadkeus and his people to focus their consciousness on magic. Protruding the fine sword straight out at the same time as constructing the surgical ceremony.

Class 3 Thunder Magic Stumbolt. A thunderstorm strikes from the tip of the sword, shocking the blade fish that was fighting each other. Soon Ashley and Lavine's icy magic swallowed the fish.

Stamboldt is not so lethal, it is a protective magic... but it is an offensive magic that even Mallane can handle. It is something I have taught her because it is useful to remember this too. Similar to icing by water magic, it is a form of magic that is easily accessible even in the water. Because of the bubble shield, it is also important that we do not electrocute ourselves if we have proper magic control.

"A newbie will come from behind"

Looking back to the roaring voice of Lavine and the voice of Ashley.

Coming was a giant squid about the size of a big dog. Black body, red shining eyes. Madisquid.

Good after cleaning up the blade fish. I specialize in attacks after throwing up tons of smears and not figuring out what's going on underwater, so other demons get more dangerous with this guy.

"I'll take care of him."

and return to the Lord's position. Madisquid spits out the smear, but designates each of its spaces to create and capture an aqua golem.

He grabbed the black, cloudy body aqua golem by the squid, pierced it while activating a magical circulation where he was frightened, and slammed it under a blow in Uroboros at the same time as approaching it.

From the squid, it must have looked like my spitting smear was coming at me.

"You'll learn. There's a way to use that golem."

And say as Ashley was impressed.

"We can make the water into golem material as it is. Of course, it works great for demons who rely on their vision if they stay transparent."

Ashley nodded with a serious look.

It would be effective for use as an aid. Aquagolem makes it less lethal, though.

Dinner's set for today. Blade fish can be kept edible, and Madisquid can be edible.

Not only that when it comes to squid, but its squid smear can also be used as quality ink. Let's strip it down while retrieving the transboundary stones that are sinking under the water and slowly explore it.

- When I finished my exploration in the demonic waters and finished disposing of the materials in the guild, I decided to go to the royal castle and meet King Melvin because in time it was just right.

Prince Albert is also accompanied today. We already had a meeting on the magic comms machine.

When I put my face on the salon, we were both already face-to-face.

"Oh. You're back."

"Yes, I came back around yesterday evening"

"Do? What do you mean, talk to Albert?

King Melvin asked me, so I tried to diagnose a story about me and the magic comms machine. The demonstration means I'll try to exchange messages with Prince Albert.

Soon after, King Melvin's expression became something serious.

"You're a magic tool that can exchange letters in a remote place. Between Termwilds and Earl Gartner's territory, you can use it without any problems."

"This again...... don't bring me any hard stuff. I'm tired of being around."

King Melvin looks troubled and laughs somewhere fun.

"I want to be able to interact with everyone with this in the future. At the moment, it's going to be a pair, a dedicated pair."

Completion at the moment. Future completed form. Talk and listen to the main points, such as the problem.

King Melvin was listening with a serious face, but when he sat deep down and let him bring his back, he would arm and roar.

"It is a great magic trick. With this, it's not hard to imagine that there will be changes in various objects... but we can't just give permission. The impact is too great."

"Is it?"

Well, this is also the answer I expected to some extent. The way society works can change from its roots if it is immediately distributed to the public.

"At least... whoever can possess it is not a choice. Both users and administrators should have mechanisms in place to ensure that they are not easily abused"

Hmm. Contract magic is built into the mechanism, so we're going to have to make that contract magic advanced.

By incorporating constraints, we can only use them in the labyrinth, protect the secrets of communications by contract magic, and allow the terminal to be blocked from the server side... It's a challenge for the future, but we can see the way.

As a safe use - for example, the Commander class of the Knights, or the heavy town of the kingdom? You think we're going to put only one for each base and limit our correspondents?

I guess King Melvin is also aware of the high value of his use. I had been doing my hand on my chin for a while and thought about it, but I said with my face up.

"It would be important to establish it as a technology, including safety measures. Otherwise, it would be safe for anyone to use it. You may continue to develop and test the magic equipment as it is. I promise in the rest of my name that at the dawn of completion I will pay just enough for my accomplishments."

"Thank you, Father"

Prince Albert bowed his head deeply knowing that his previous research would not be in vain. The problem is also in the category of contract magic review that seems to work out. You should see that the road to development has been followed.

"Fine. If you say so in that regard, it would be a shame for you to develop this."

And King Melvin smiled bitterly.

The consultation was gathered. Tea and confectionery for a while, then I'll cut another errand.

Speaking of which, I heard a story about a ghost riot going on in the city.

"Mm-hmm. There's been a report coming up from the Knights. Late at night, a white figure was floating or disappeared into the wall? Time is mostly at night, but the places you see are all over town."

King Melvin nods. There does not appear to be any damage at this time...... Is the place scattered?

You're lucky to see me or not. There are many other things to do. I can't be spending all my time there.

"For once, as far as I'm concerned, I doubt my relationship with the devil. Why don't you ask the Adventurer Alliance for a reward for finding out who you are or for providing information that connects you to who you are? We also need to write that there is a corresponding risk of not going into it."

"Hmm. Don't you dare move adventurers, not soldiers? That's an interesting measure."

King Melvin rides himself out with an intriguing look.

"Right. If you're an adventurer, you can tell if you're just an undead."

Prince Albert's supplement enters. Yes. If you're an adventurer, you'll notice a fine difference with the Ghost. Later, narrow down the features from the witness testimony and hit the literature or, if necessary, move with crusade top priority.

"Fine. Keep your hands around you."

"Then I will continue my search for sealed doors in the Magic Watershed."

To my words, they nodded.
