Boundary Labyrinth and the Foreign Magician

247 Towards the King's Capital.

Prepare to leave before the sun rises yet. Let Lindblum and the others behave like oak meat and tummy.

Elliot is also getting ready for the journey. Looks like he's just watching his hippogriff do his saddles, reins and other outfits. Elliot was traveling alone to the Marquis of Gilbolt. Sometimes they've traveled in hippoglyphs, and the baggage itself is pretty small.

If you pull up your luggage from the inn, load it into the dragon cage, call Hippogriff to the castle, and check his gear later, his journey schedule is complete.

When I saw how Elliot was doing, he was wearing a mask that covered his eyes again.

"Brother Elliot, you're going with a mask."

Elliot's mask string has been cut... but apparently he has some spare masks in his possession. When I went to pick up my stuff, I also picked up a trigonometric hat with wings.

"Right. Because this has always been the case in Sylvatria. Though I feel bad for Ashley."

"... I see. If you remove the mask at this point, they'll think you're someone else on the contrary."

"That's the thing. Don't worry, the mask is an ordinary item that I ordered from Wangdu to make."

In Elliot's story, it still seems to be Zadias who gave instructions to put on the mask.

"Maybe I shouldn't go too far."

Hmm...... Ashley's appearance will also be understood as a brother and sister if the beholder sees it. I guess the vast majority don't know that the Marquis Jilbolt didn't understand.

"Well, there's a good way."

Rosemary says.

"Like what?"

"For disguise, I can make hair dyes. My hair won't hurt, and I can wash it off right away if I have to. Well, that's excellent inside."

Ho ho. Then I'll ask for it, too. If you want to talk about the color of your hair that makes you come out of it... maybe someone will come out of my appearance to tie your mother together.

"Well, let's go buy it out when we get over there"

"Nice to meet you, Master Marie"

"Yeah. I'm trying it myself, don't worry"

I see. You were doing a lot more than just a disguise ring.

Anyway, if I were to hide Ashley's origins, this would be enough.

"Oh, yeah. Mr. Elliot. Here you go."

Looks like Elliot's hand is empty, so give Elliot the ruined necklace he was bringing as a spare and the ring-shaped magic prop.

"Demonic props......?

"The necklace prevents effects caused by spells, magic drugs, etc. The wheel is a magic prop that Magic Shield plants. I was just wondering if it would be a good aid."

"Oh. When I fought Lord Theodore..."

"That's right. You're a substitute for keeping this on your feet and scaffolding your shield. I don't need to control the procedure on my own anymore, so I was wondering if I could make it up to you later with levitation and move quickly in the air."

In Elliot's case, he was controlling multiple operations to fight. Because I also know how to operate physically, I see that it would be practical enough to have the revitation used together.

"... I see. I'll try to practice a little in my free time. Lord Theodore took this, too?

"Theodore, all by himself"

And when Sheila, who was checking her luggage, answers, Elliot's mouth is slightly drawn.

"Are you doing that... all on your own?

"Well, yeah"

"Master Theodore thought about it and spread it."

"I see...... The world is wide...... I have to try not to be too uncomfortable."

To Ashley's words, Elliot nods as he grips and opens his fist.... I wonder if there's anything just right about it if it's irritating.

I was just finishing my last check to see if I had forgotten anything before the trip, and Lindblum and the others are going to let me know by shouting that the meal is over.

"Then you. Wishing you luck."

"Father. Take care."

"Hmm. Don't give you guys a hard time."

The Marquis of Gilbolt, the Marquise and Romina were quietly embracing each other after they had sent their words.

The Marquise and Romina are supposed to send Claudia to Termwilds with metastatic magic. We're ready for reception at the ritual hall's accommodation, so all we have to do later is let Claudia evacuate over there with metamagic.

"Thank you for waiting"

The Marquis face tells Claudia after taking some time.

"Is that enough?

"Yes."

Okay, I'll send it.

Claudia's metastatic magic was activated and Mrs. and Romina were sent to Termwilds.

Slightly, from Mercedia to the comms, I did keep the two of you. I will protect you with pride of the Knights. I was contacted about something like that.

"Sounds good over there. Shall we leave?"

Where the eastern sky began to whiten, I looked around everyone and nodded.

"Hmm. I wonder if we can slow down a bit on the road. In the boat, Mallane hit me."

Tefra says, Mallane laughs like a prank. You're talking about a card fight in the boat.

"Why don't you take Mr. Elliot to the dragon cage, too?

"Oh. I have to get Saphir to do a little... so I'll get you on board when I pinch the break"

Elliot answers as he strokes Saphir's head of Hippogriff.

If you don't, Saphir's gonna be in a bad mood. There's a verse that's sweet because I've been keeping you waiting outside the city for a while, or trying to rub your nose against Elliot.

Hmm...... Right. If Elliot rides a dragon cage in this state, he may indeed be in a bad mood.

So Elliot crosses the hippogriff and rides into the dragon cage for the rest of us. Elmer and the others also rode in another dragon cage, which all combined with their departure for the king's capital of Sylvatria.

The dragon cage journey in mainland Sylvatria is basically no different from that in Verdogal. It's a form of flying over the streets. The difference would be that Elmer and his dragon cages are fitted with the family crest of the Marquis Jilbolt family.

The dragon cage we ride is fitted with a crest representing the messenger of the Kingdom of Verdogal. This means that local cities will be allowed to do just fine.

"This is - Marquis Gilbolt. And Lord Benedict."

"Hmm. It's dauntless"

Marquis Gilbolt is letting his face peek through the dragon cage window to tell the soldiers he was packing in a surveillance tower on the outer walls of the city where he was going and why. When a soldier in a watchtower raises a blue flag, he also raises a blue flag in another watchtower.

They say the blue flag means "dragon cages don't go inside the city, they go straight through". These procedures and flag signals allow smooth passage. Well, it's like airport control.

Sometimes dragon cages pulling with multiple flying dragons are not easy to turn around, and when they are targeted with a barista or something, they usually have to be shot down.

When it's a dragon cage, it's not something those bandits can prepare, but still, in case. So by keeping these procedures in place, both the city side and the side traveling in dragon cages can be relieved.

"Please, come through"

Proceed along the outer wall, being dropped off by a saluting soldier.

"Why don't we drop off the dragon cage and take a break when we get there a little bit more"

"Right. There's a scenic spot along the street from here."

Speaking to Elliot through the window, I got a response like that.

"Well, let's take a break there"

"Okay."

Elliott guided us to a sunny earthwork on the side of the street. That there is a stream flowing nearby and flowers blooming beyond it… it is a medium and long idle place. Serafina out of the dragon cage flies around looking fun, and Lavine chases him on a small run afterwards.

Cadkeus, who looked like a cat over Ignis' head. Then Ambram, who took the look of a servant. This whole place is called My Pace or something. I sit with you on the dirt.

"Beautiful place."

"You like it more than anything."

Elliot and Marquis Gilbolt laughed.

"I have rented the kitchen of the castle and prepared a light knob"

Grace brought the basket out of the dragon cage. A little early in the day, but it's not bad to take a break while filling your belly.

"I'll get you a drink now, too."

Ashley prepares tea with water magic.

The contents of the basket are called sandwiches. Pinch lettuce, tomatoes, cheese, ham, eggs, etc. between white breads, quite brightly colored and enjoyable to look at. Perfect for eating in a place like this.

"Me and Marie helped, too."

Claudia says.

"It is."

"Well... although it's not that much of a hassle. Just cut the ingredients and pinch them."

"But Marie was helping smoke the ham."

As Claudia turned her grin, Rosemary spread her feather fan and turned the day after tomorrow. Right. Looks like the material itself was brought in from Termwilds. Smoking should take a lot of work.

"Yeah. It's delicious."

When he carries it to his mouth and answers that, Claudia turns a grin to Grace. Although Rosemary kept her face hidden with a feather fan.

Blood sausage has been prepared for Illumhilt, but that doesn't mean regular food doesn't make sense either. She was also carrying a sandwich in her mouth looking delicious.

"- What kind of person is Zadias usually?

The topic after the meal really came from about Wang Du. Even in the sense of working out trends and measures, it would be better to retain Zadias' external stance.

"Is it a confident person......? You could call it grandeur."

Marquis Gilbolt answers. Yeah. Maybe it's a common figure in nobility and royalty.

"Zadias said that it is to the people's happiness that we manage the magic technology of the sage's academic league. That's how you said it. I thought that was the right thing to do too... but now that I think back, there were times when I wondered about him and was controlled by Caexgem"

Elliot touches the mask, around his forehead.

"Sure... did my sister talk about Zadias' engagement?

"... oh. The story."

Princess Stephania gives Rosemary a subtle expression in her words, as if she could even face a headache. Maybe it was a topic I didn't really want to touch.

"Indeed... when I was a little girl, I had a conversation with the Silvatorian royal family or senior nobility. Although Zadias was strangely interested when he heard I was a magician when I went to goodwill...... That's why I'm hanging from the sky."

According to Princess Stephania, that story was before Zadias' bad reputation spread. They stopped touching on that topic either because of the coup d 'état (...) in the example or because of it.

As for the Silvatorian side, it must have been harder to say because Zadias had a problem. Verdogal, on the other hand, does not want to actively pursue the bond with the King Prince with problems, but one of them being the King of Dead Sleep, chased to solve the problems in the country… etc.

"But Zadias doesn't seem to have given up"

"That's right..."

Apparently Zadias himself is bound by the part that Princess Stephania has considerable magical arms, which allowed her to admire other kinsmen and domestic nobles who have the right to inherit the throne.

Because of this, not only Sylvatria, but also the surrounding countries, seems to be back to bonding with Princess Stephania.

"You know why I hate that, don't you? I'd like to give you some guidance on the next case."

That is how Princess Stephania waved.
