Boundary Labyrinth and the Foreign Magician

240, prepare to strike back.

"First gather those who were the Lord, trustworthy, in the great dining room of the castle. I have to report back to you and give you instructions."

"Are you sure you want me to be present on the spot too?

"Of course. There must be unity and communication of will in order to facilitate the story after heading to the King's capital."

Inside the dragon cage, Marquis Gilbolt and Princess Stephania meet about what has happened since they arrived at the castle. If so, I need to be present as an escort.

Tefra is also quick to have him present to facilitate the conversation, given his visibility in the Marquis territory of Gilbolt.

"If we're gonna get out of this cage, I'm gonna have to wear a little more of this."

"Right. I'm sorry to make you feel cramped."

"Of what. For my friend."

Tefra laughs and wraps her robe around.

Whether you want Tefra to be present to get you to trust him, because he wants to be carefully selected.

As soon as the dragon cage descended on the castle's squad yard, the knights rushed in.

Welcome home, Marquis.

"Mm-hmm. You used to protect me while I was away"

The knights give their thanks to the Marquis, but turn their gaze to us for a moment. But he didn't say anything and seemed to insist on his position of waiting for the Marquis to explain.

"Gather them all. Let's hear the report while you're away. And that's when I'm gonna talk and listen."

"Ha."

"And the touch of calling..."

The knights run on detailed instructions from the Marquis of Jilbolt. The Marquis, who gave instructions to the knights, turned around and opened his mouth.

"I'm sorry you're in such a hurry. I'm in a position to be entertained."

"Because the situation is the situation."

"Right. The fun is after everything's been cleared up."

In my words, Princess Stephania and the Marquis distort the edge of her mouth.

"Come here, then"

Guided by the Marquis, he was sent to the castle cafeteria. Immediately the heavy towns of Marquis territory were gathered.

"Everyone, the patronage of the realm during my absence, was dauntless. Let's start with a report."

"Ha."

A man wearing armor with a feather embellishment on his shoulder stands up and takes a salute position. Apparently, he is the Knight Commander of the Marquis.

He says the title is in a position to be a Knights Commander but also to train in skills for the intelligence forces.

"Things are calm in town. There have been a few small incidents of fighting, rubbing and stealing, but there have been no major problems."

"Uhm."

As the Marquis nodded and circled his gaze, another - a magician-like man wrapped around a robe - rose and saluted him just like the Knights Commander. This is the intelligence unit. He's the one who's going to develop magical skills.

"It's the same for the captain. No noticeable movement in the neighborhood."

"How about visitors to the territory"

"I don't know anyone here who should take it up and mention it. Was it about Viscount Faubble's visit to Yuji, as he had been offered since both times? Merchants come and go, and in the big mouth, they're all familiars."

It's exactly what the soldiers were talking about in the harbor. At least within their grasp, no major problems appear to have arisen in the Marquis territory of Gilbolt. Well, except for one case of Prince Wang as a big premise.

"Uhm...... Continue with each assignment. If anything changes, report it quickly."

"Ha."

The captain and the magician answer with their mouths together.

"Now, I have to answer what everyone cares about - but before I do, I want you to see this first"

That's what the Marquis puts the crate on the table.

Removing Alverinde's bust from inside changed their look.

"This man..."

"Ma, witch..."

The two distort their expressions. These two are watching witches. At least, the faces gathered here must be heavy towns with some knowledge of the Marquis' circumstances.

"Let me tell you that the problem about witches was removed at the hands of the Heroes of Termwilds. The spirits of Mount Tefra and the fears that were eroding their wives and daughters disappeared."

And, where the Marquis spoke, Tefra takes the hood first, then takes off the robe.

A twist ran to Tefra's appearance.

"Shh, Spirit...! Ho, its goat's feet on the flaming hair...... no way......!?

"Spirit Tefra......!?

"Oh...!

The eyes of those who dwell side by side will be rounded. Tefra answers quietly.

"My friend helped me at Termwilds. This is how we are here now to reward our benevolence and friendship."

"... those witches were demons named Eclipse Princess Alverinde"

"Princess Erosion!?

The sorcerer opens his eyes.

"Mm-hmm. That means Prince Wang had a connection to the Demon Man. This is not just my territory, but a crisis in Sylvatoria's survival… No, I'm sure it's a liberating issue that could lead to more than that."

Heavy towns black-and-white their eyes and swallow their saliva in a series of bomb statements coming out of the Marquis's mouth.

"The sight of King Verdogal, His Majesty Melvin, has also been fulfilled. His Holiness Melvin sent His Royal Highness the First Princess Stefania to our country as a messenger. As soon as I am ready, I must go to the king's capital with His Highness and tell His Majesty how to do this."

"Oh, did I? So, this is your man..."

"Whatever. Her Royal Highness Stephania, 1st Princess of the Kingdom of Verdogal. I can show it to you."

Princess Stephania gets an introduction from the Marquis to give her a graceful bowl of grace.

"Not only His Royal Highness Stephania, but we are all guests no less. without the crude phase."

"Ha!"

The Marquis blurs somewhat vaguely the way he introduces.

There's no attention for me. I don't wear a disguise ring, but I'm dressed as a butler. It's easier to have a look at it with a servant with Princess Stephania and only a no-mark.

"Have the plaster statue replicated from this mould. Get ready to make a circular as a felon inside and outside your territory. Presence of plaster statues. To have this until I have a separate order regarding my return and the visit of the Embassy of the Kingdom of Verdogal. Whoever leaks information, for whatever reason, must be forgiven."

"Ha! Whatever you say!

"... because of his work, I've been tasting bitter juice for a long time... and that means it's over."

The Knight Commander salutes with upright immobility, and the Mage looks up to heaven as he was impressed. I even had tears in my eyes.

"... I think you've had a lot of trouble."

To that word of the meditating Marquis, the Knight Commander also breathes heavily and says quietly.

"Words without body. I've been sipping muddy water with you, and I've been patient with you, and it's all about rewarding you if you think it was better this day than this."

"If so... is the next thing you need to do is be alert to insiders"

Right. It is not necessarily that such a person is undisputed.

"Always let them act in groups of three and impose restrictions on the out-of-country travel of those involved. This is no exception to us. We will thoroughly communicate and arrange the witch's face outside our territory… with the minimum necessary information."

"Fine. As for the charge of witchcraft, let's say the murderer of the attempted assassination of a nobleman. The day will come when my ship returns to port."

"Ha. Then... I'd like to see the Marquis see the breakdown later on about the division of the squad, and then I'll have the courtesy"

"Uhm. We can work on it quickly."

"Ha!"

The goodness of the hand-wound in this area should be called the head of the intelligence unit? When they returned their salute, they left the Great Dining Room to do their job.

Well...... There would have been some place where safety in the castle could have been ensured. If so, as soon as the fog on the top of the mountain clears, we should take the dragon cage to Mount Tefra.

"Sometimes the fog doesn't clear until dark. I was wondering if it would be a good idea to heal the fatigue of your journey and nourish your English first."

The Marquis tells me.

"Right. It doesn't mean we have to go now about moving to Mount Tefra because we still have a respite. We'll see how it goes tomorrow morning."

When the ship enters the harbour, will the man on the king's side appear or not? Since Alverinde's return to Silvatoria, it is not now clear what action he intended to take... but at that time he will be ready to leave in a dragon cage towards the king's capital.

"Well... let me show you to the VIP room."

In the end, the fog doesn't clear until night. The trip to Mount Tefra became a carry-over to tomorrow.

I'm staying overnight at the castle today, and everything will start tomorrow.

That's why when we were all indulgent in the VIP room, the noise of the knock echoed around the time before dinner.

"Get in."

and Marquis Gilbolt encouraged him to enter the room.

The Marquis Gilbolt family faces are also in the VIP room due to being escorted. This time it's easier to have people gathered in one place because there are so many people to protect.

"Excuse me."

That's what I said. It was Elmer who came in. Elmer kneels down on the spot and reports.

"Earlier, it appeared that Benedict the Magic Knight had come to our realm. We're in a hurry to report."

Unexpectedly face to face with everyone. The warlord in the arms of the king prince of the example... the magical knight in the mask?

If you think the purpose is to welcome the witch...... I decided to show up early in Marquis Territory and stay, not surprisingly... Well. Do you have any other purpose or not?

"What about surveillance?

"I'm putting it on. Benedict himself seems to be staying at an inn in his territory."

"... why don't you come to the castle? Benedict will know by now that the Marquis is absent."

"Yeah, I guess so."

It would be... normal for Benedict not to visit the castle.

"The question is, do we know more than that, or not?

When Grace tilts her neck, Rosemary devises and answers with a feather fan in her hand.

"If you assume it's a trap, you won't be staying in the territory. If an insider comes to visit us, we'll get a grip on it."

"What about the possibility that you are aiming at it and exploring it?

"I'm not saying there isn't... but it's a dangerous hand."

Marquis Zilbolt had his hands on his chin to contemplate such an exchange between Ashley and Claudia, but eventually gives instructions to Elmer.

"Surveillance continues. If anyone is a royal castle official and tries to approach his people, grab this. But I don't need a hand in person."

"Ha."

Elmer salutes and leaves the VIP room. Conversely... if you have an insider, it would be a good opportunity to broil it out.

"Well, what is it?"

"It doesn't change. First, rituals on Mount Tefra will be a top priority."

This is absolute because it is a guarantee of exit.

"Later, with surveillance, does Benedict himself determine whether he is white or black by how he moves when he finds out that the witch has been arranged as a felon... It's more dangerous to take a detour from here than you might be a demon."

"Sure..."

At that time - we need to set up a situation where I can deal with them directly.
