Boundary Labyrinth and the Foreign Magician

Tales with Marquis Gilbolt, Witch's Left Evidence, Maintenance Around the Hot Springs, etc… There are many stories to be told. I headed to the royal castle to talk to King Melvin.

The Marquis of Gilbolt is also due to meet in one of the hotel rooms for this discussion.

Knock and enter the room. Looks like Marquis Gilbolt was here first.

"This is the ambassador."

"Hello, how about an addition or a subtraction from your wife and your young lady after that?

The lady and the lady were slightly under the impression that the line was narrow. If Alverinde's spell was hard work and he couldn't be very actionable, I think he solved it all.

"Thanks to you. I've had a lot of smiles."

"That's more than anything."

Marquis Jilbolt smiles quietly with his hands on his chest. King Melvin also came there.

"Hmm. Did I make you wait?

"I just got here."

We surrounded the table and talked as we tilted the teacup.

"Well. What did you start with? First of all - Marquis Gilbolt. Do you mind if I ask you something about what you know? Nevertheless, those are not the nobles to serve, but the ministers of the Silvatorian royal family. I don't care if it's just King Prince Zadiaz's plan for our country or something that seems to have something to do with demons."

Marquis Gilbolt seems to have an intelligence unit. You must have been releasing secret detectives everywhere under threat from Prince Wang, and you have all kinds of information that you get from that, but you can't just take what you've helped and get them to talk about things that don't really matter.

This whole thing involves the trust of King Melvin and Marquis Gilbolt, and I guess it's the part where we should keep the line. In that regard, if it is about demon entanglement, it also stands a great name for cooperation across countries.

"Ha. Prince Wang came to my realm in the name of Yuji. I welcomed him as a guest... but I also saw a witch at that dinner table. That was three years ago."

And they cast a spell. From that hand-wound, I guess I used a spell on Tefra first and then came to the Marquis.

"From there on ahead, as you can guess. As I was told, I gathered information about the nobility in the country and carried out various work activities. But... not until there's a demon involved behind it..."

Did you not know the connection between Prince Wang and the devil? Well... if you try to be Prince Wang, you'll want to avoid being known by the Marquis Jilbolt for his connection to the Demon Man, even though he has a weak taste.

"What about manipulation within Verdogal? First, it's about the Bandits."

"He told me to disguise myself as a bandit and create a base. That's how I was instructed to organize bandits for private purposes, in a way common to skirmishes between nobles."

And we made preparations. Dress up as a caravan and bring in supplies, send a magician skilled in earthly magic all over the mountains to make Azito. If you take over one town and then hold down the volcano, you can disrupt or do great damage inside Verdogal... you can do all kinds of sabotage, and blackmail would be possible.

"In view of the witch's methods, I see that he intended to make similar threats against our country by securing a dormant volcano. Perhaps you were going to do that on this visit"

"Was... It was even designated as a base to be held down. So I guess that's true. I don't even have the opening words."

Marquis Gilbolt meditates.

"I'm not blaming you. What about Count Gartner's territory?

"Like looking for the magic that a magician named Patricia should possess, yes, Prince Wang said. A magician with brown golden hair and eyes..."

And look at me, I say. Given his appearance and Gartner's last name, Marquis Gilbolt would have already taken note of his involvement with me. There's, well, there's nothing I can do to hide it.

"Sure... you may be the same person as my mother"

If you focus on Patricia and her mother saying she might be the same person...... isn't it hard to chase them?

No. But... "The Virgin Lisa" is also known there in Verdogal. You didn't notice a connection to me at all.

"One - I ask you, for footsteps, did the Marquis gather information to reach Count Gartner's territory?

"No. Prince Wang also looked into Lord Patricia independently. I grabbed the footsteps to Count Gartner's territory, so I told him to find them locally."

"... when was that?

"It's recent. We kept the information and immediately moved the troops."

Should I say, after all? According to information from Prince Wang, the Marquis only moved as a moving force. Well, that would convince me of the little information I own, too, huh?

Then there is the question of where Prince Wang got the information from...

"As for Ms Patricia... I'm assuming the rumor is that she was chased by a coup d 'état in Sylvatria."

"The coup…"

"It would be something to do with the domestic situation in Silvatria, but if you have any idea, could you please talk to me?

The Marquis Jilbolt looked like he was on a roundabout, but waved small and open his tease mouth.

"It's probably about a factional feud between the Scholars."

"Are you a sage scholar?"

"Yes. I also used to teach at the Academic Union when I was younger. It is similar to the prestigious Peresford School Building in the Kingdom of Verdogal… but it is characterised by its specialization in magic"

The Tower Mage Guild, a mainstream, tries to spread magic widely by listing it as "magic in life". But the Sage's League of Scholars in Sylvatria persists in secrecy and does not release magic technology very generally. Instead, they have a few elites and a number of famous magicians.

"Prince Wang was also enrolled there. But... Prince Wang joined hands with the vice president at the time, criticizing the deans and elders of the Academic Union. He said we should disclose the technology we keep secret for the development of the country."

... I see. Prince Wang put pressure on the Academic Union in the name of the country's development.

"and what happened"

"The dean and the elders rebelled against this. There was a conflict between the dean and vice dean. Shortly thereafter followed by the accidental death of the dean and the case of the attempted assassination of Prince Wang...... each other condemns each other. Tensions were on the rise, but in the end the Magic Knights intervened by force on the side of the Scholastic Union. Many magicians who were deans were killed and wounded, and several elders were imprisoned."

In short... Prince Wang won against the backdrop of force.

"Among the court nobles, among those who were cordial with the dean, there were those who were imprisoned and executed on suspicion of being involved in the assassination attempt on Prince Wang. But… the nature of the secrecy of the Scholarship Union and the intervention of force at the hands of Prince Wang in a magical research institute moved the story in a direction that would be hidden. As a result - it depends on the power struggles between the court nobles, that is, they were replaced in the name of a coup d 'état."

"I see..."

Did you want to avoid a growing bad reputation for Silvatoria or Prince Wang?

It concerns the academic league, which originally belonged to the top secret of the magical powers. I guess that means that we got somewhat better at concealing information and only leaked information to the extent that there was a power dispute.

"If it means Lord Patricia, who ran away from Silvatoria, possesses precious magic... perhaps a dead dean, his faction, an elder's flesh and blood relative or a high brother"

"How do you communicate metastatic magic?

Claudia has already shown it to the Marquis of Gilbolt. In that regard, there is nothing I can do but lay low now.

"He said that those who told him a long time ago had ceased. There were rumours that the elders might be hiding the ritual as a secret because of the secrecy of the Xuelian League.... about the metastatic magic we saw the other day, let's swear we'll take it all the way to the grave"

"Thank you for understanding."

I don't know how you feel about Claudia, but I feel like a snake just to explain.

"I wonder if the problem is dealing with Prince Wang. The safety of the Marquis Jilbolt must also be preserved..."

Right. That's the problem we're going to have. Not until I poke the connection between Prince Wang and the devil. That makes no sense when it comes to things like the Marquis being scapegoated.

"As for that - he said that the Spirit Tefra would protect the Marquis and testify to his innocence"

"That's a reliable story. Whatever it takes, let's do our utmost to prove the Marquis' innocence."

Yeah. It's the testimony of King Verdogal and the High Spirit. If the bad guy is also a demon. And if it becomes widely known, it will be very difficult to get your hands on the Marquis himself. Prince Wang's bad reputation is probably also due to his tough means against the academic league, or at least he can't go from darkness to darkness. Nevertheless, Prince Wang himself will need measures to make it harder to move.

"What about not daring to give the name or connection of Prince Wang and circulating the witch as a bad assassination attempt on the Marquis?

"Ho."

"He said this witch, along with the human writer, was the demon. The Devil's belongings are informed that there was a pass issued by Silvatoria."

"You want me to look into the factual relationship with the other hand? Hmmm...... If you bring up a parent book where it matters, you won't be able to say because the king is a hospital bed, etc. Prince Wang will also be chased to extinguish the fire, and he says he wants to give it directly, beyond being suspected inside Silvatoria, making it harder to make excuses, even if he wants to discourage this one"

King Melvin laughs. Then for a little while, he seemed to put his arms around the idea, but eventually he nodded.

"Fine. The Marquis will be escorted here when he returns to the kingdom. I will stay in my country for a while because I will proceed with the arrangements. Whatever happens, you can't make it worse."

"Thank you very much."

Marquis Jilbolt bowed his head deeply.

As Prince Wang, we are waiting for the witch to return. Even if he had the means to contact him, he couldn't move more ostensibly than Prince Wang couldn't make a big deal out of witches. If the Marquis of Gilbolt is scheduled to stay in the Kingdom of Verdogal, he will be able to make plenty of preparations.
