Boundary Labyrinth and the Foreign Magician

When we arrived at the Western Hall, the servants who accompanied us from the royal castle began to move hastily as they carried their luggage into the room.

Climb the stairs from the entrance hall, with Albert and Mallane rooms just on the right hand side of the upstairs hallway. I'm in the same room as the two of you. Although in the form of a refrain as a servant in two rooms, to be precise.

Opposite this room is Prince Hellfleet's room. Go to the back of the hallway. The next room is Prince Roy. Across the diagonal is Princess Stephania. Next to Princess Stephania becomes Prince Josiah's room. And at the crossing of the aisle, the biggest room is the room of King Melvin and the First Queen.

There are other rooms, but I was solidified in the corner of the mansion and had the room assigned to me. I can't help but be suspicious that it will follow the sequence.

Okay. First, grasp the surrounding environment. We're moving Cadkeus in the room and looking at the interior and exterior structure of the Western Hall.

"Junction, huh? King Melvin told me."

Noise mixes with the five senses link. It's with what was applied during the royal castle.

"Mmm. He's the one who fights demons and assassinations without chanting, isn't he? I don't know much about that because I haven't worked out magic itself... is there a problem?

"No, it's okay with me. I've decided this operation is no problem because we can take care of it."

The junction of these magical interferences can exist as a trap even in the depths of the labyrinth. Props work fine, but this can be quite an obstacle to the magician himself.

Then when they ask if this is a stuffed battle mage, it is not. Magic circulation changes the very nature of magic, so we can suppress the influence it receives from the junction. I have no problem exercising my magic as long as I have circulation.

Can Cadkeus' activities be put under control if he is not allowed to go that far? That means the other side can use the demon while limiting it. This point will need to be borne in mind.

"But there's a place where the magician's measures are intact and the royalty can't resist its own magic."

When I say it, Albert frowns.

"... it"

"I can also say that there are no problems because there are island guards. When I say which is more dangerous - assassination without chanting - I think we need a connection."

In the first place, royalty does not stand on the arrow, but is something that knights and soldiers defend. Therefore, a situation in which the royal family itself has to defend itself also means that it is at that point in time behind it.

The importance that royalty attaches to lineage for the rite of national defence means that, when turned upside down, it is easy to be born with a magical gift. Going for a magician to be king is not a separate requirement, but if magical talent tends to grow easily, it can also be said that each one drills magically.

So...... it would certainly work in some respects to set up against the royalty of Termwilds in this place.

"Right. Then I wonder what they'll use to set me up."

"First of all, the same way as the previous M.O., how to mix poison into food and drink. As Albert knows, we're taking good care of this."

There are original poison lookers, as well as the preparation of demonic props and evil necklaces engraved with a clear blood of detoxifying magic, and maximum vigilance.

"So... if I'm gonna be on my guard, I'm gonna sneak into my room and assassinate you."

You can see people's movements by activating Life Direction and exploring life reactions over walls. If there's any movement, we'll let Cadkeus break in every time, and we'll hit the VIP escort. And in case of an emergency, King Melvin must have contacted the comms. In that case, I'm supposed to rush to King Melvin's room.

The bag was loaded with enough stamina potion and velcro potion. Combined with physical enhancement through circulation and anti-sleep spells, this posture is challenging during your stay with insomnia.

"True... I'll lose my mind. Do I and Mallane like to be talking to each other so you don't get bored or fall asleep?

Mallane is taking out the lute quickly. It is Mallane who has recently learned from Illumhilt to improve his instrument's arm.

"Because even if I miss it, the demon will let me know. You don't have to be so careful."

"That's not how it works. I'm going to take turns and get some sleep."

And Albert smiled bitterly. Then he asks me in a straight face.

"... killer, who do you think?

"... whatever at the moment. But if the killer moves this time, the chances of His Highness Josiah or the First Queen will be diminished."

"Those two... it's enough to maintain the status quo."

"Yes. On the contrary, I can also say that if nothing happens, there's more chance for the two of us."

Even if Rosemary says the situation has changed due to her loss of legs... only for Prince Josiah and the First Queen should we raise our hands and welcome them. It is less necessary to move aggressively under this situation than Prince Josiah can be king even as he is now. Well... if I'm in a hurry to inherit the throne, I'll change my mind.

So if the killer's purpose is to inherit the throne... it is first and foremost Prince Josiah who is at high risk of being targeted. Then he becomes King Melvin. Will it be targeted later in order of succession to the throne?

On the other hand, the benefits of the sequence aiming from the opponent below are thin. Attacking extra targets first will result in increased vigilance on the part of other royals at that point. So if you're going to decide, you have to accomplish your goal with one blow.

I'm assuming another possibility - because in that case there's no evidence or anything.

"- You didn't use poison, did you?"

Albert shrugs as he looks out the window where the night book fell. On the bedside, Mallane stood quietly asleep. The only thing that sounds indoors is the sound of firewood exploding in the fireplace.

Nothing happened at dinner - it was quiet.

"So far."

Just because nothing happened on the first day doesn't justify failing to be vigilant.

That's how Albert asks me to go back to surveillance in Life Direction.

"Mattius... no, Theo, I wanted to ask you one thing."

"Hmm."

"Don't you ever suspect I'm the killer? I have the impression that I haven't even put myself on the list from the start."

If you wonder what to say. age at the time or whether it is feasible or not. Talent and foundation for breaking through magic interrogation. Personality for motive. After that, I don't think there is a line called Albert due to various considerations.

In the BFO - it was under the circumstance that King Melvin was getting older and Rosemary and Prince Josiah were scraping his teeth. Even in those days, it was Albert with his face in the workshop and in the Adventurer's Guild without a faction. Consistently, we keep our distance from sight strife.

"Well... for many reasons. If you have the knowledge to do all that at the time of the incident, it's not strange to get information that you were studying alchemy and dispensing, but that doesn't come up. Besides, I don't see any motive."

I wouldn't have been blessed with a special environment like Rosemary. Looking back at Albert, I frowned.

"Plus - there's one more reason Albert can't."

Albert in the ass looking suspicious. I go to the window, I look outside, I say.

Our room is not on the ocean side of the Western Hall, but on the forest side - we see a lot of life-response light in that forest.

"What?

"There are people trying to surround this mansion. Uh. Wait a minute."

Cut life instruction once, switch to dark vision magic and gaze into the woods at night.

Hidden between the shades of the trees are - armed guards.

There's no reason to siege the mansion, no reason to narrow the siege toward us. It could be described as a drastic departure from the normal mandate.

Were you carrying island guards, or were you landing breathing people, or were you replacing them?

In any case, Albert doesn't have the political foundation or the connections to move them together.

Nevertheless...... Not poisoning, not sneaking assassinations, another possibility, huh? Totally, it's something that just hits my expectations in the wrong direction.

"This is more about the seizure of the throne than an assassination. Isn't the royal family willing to kill everyone here but themselves?

There are still a few things left to question, such as what you intend to do with the process after success... but anyway, if there are no more people to pursue and you are at the top of the list, there is no evidence to be left behind.

Let's get rid of them first, and then we'll be powerless. Uroboros sounded happy when he took the dragon wand, which was wrapped in cloth and completely in a bad mood.
