Boundary Labyrinth and the Foreign Magician

248 Vinesdora, king's capital

"I see it"

Elliot faces out the window of the dragon cage and points forward. Beyond the blue-white outer wall, a royal castle was seen with a blue roof and a high spire. The capital of King Silvatoria - Vinesdora.

"Would you be the first to buy it out? Then let's head to my mansion."

"We'll have to take care of the interview later."

Princess Stephania nods at the words of Marquis Gilbolt. I often do it after I arrive, so I can't take a breather.

Start by heading to the exterior wall surveillance tower and take the steps to enter Vinesdora.

"This is the Marquis of Gilbolt"

"It is dauntless. I'd like to go into Vinesdora, would you mind?

"Ha. Please, come through"

The soldier saluting me drops me off and crosses the outer wall.

The dragon cage flies over the township of Vinesdora at a slow speed. Road paved with red-brown roofs and cobblestones. Across town corners, white stone columns stand. Crystals on stone columns...... those are street lights. I've seen them glow at night in BFO screenshots.

It's not particularly novel technology as a magic prop, but it's a substitute that's popular only in big cities like Vinesdora and Termwilds.

As for size, it is still good to say that it is a big city that is shouldered by Termwilds. However, I get the impression that it is quite neat because it is more united and compartmentalized from the royal castle to the streets to the outer walls than Termwilds, where people began to live and develop around the labyrinth.

Vinesdora is also supposed to be a historic town...... it would mean a town built after Belliondora was destroyed, so I guess it was built with pretty good urban planning.

The main street leads straight to the castle in the heart of town. The main facility also seems to be along the boulevard.

"It's near the square, that's the arena. You can also see the public baths. That's the big building."

Marquis Gilbolt will give you a quick tour of the town. Like Termwilds, they still say the perimeter of the castle will be the neighbourhood of the wealthy.

"Where is the Sage's League of Scholars?

"From here on out, beyond the castle - it will be outside the city. That's the tall tower."

"Oh...... Is that it?"

I could see a huge tower built outside the town high enough to shoulder the castle spire.

"The Sorcerers of Xuelian basically lived around the tower. Now... there's a bit of a bump."

"Are you sure about Zadias?"

"Yes."

I see. I can also see a building on the grounds around the tower. Would that mean... that's where my mother was?

"Should I show you to the alchemist's shop?

"Right."

Rosemary nods at Elliot's words. Elliot straddled Saphir as he stepped out of the dragon cage and leaped his body into the air.

"Okay, I'll lead the way"

"Lindblum. Follow me to Saphir."

Lindblum looks back at this one and raises his voice. The dominated Feilongs followed Saphir.

Unload the dragon cage in front of the alchemist's shop on the corner of town. It looks like an alchemist's shop and has a strange smell around the store.

"Well, I'll do a little shopping."

Rosemary stepped out of the dragon cage and walked into the store.

Finish your shopping quickly and then go to the separate residence of the Marquis of Gilbolt.

Near the castle, it is a large western pavilion commensurate with the Marquis.

As we unloaded the dragon cage in the courtyard, Elmer and the others rushed out of the dragon cage to ensure safety in the mansion.

"This is my husband."

Soon a servant working in a separate mansion showed his face. The servant rounded his eyes to the unexpected visit of the Marquis, but gives a deep salute.

"I'm sorry. Delayed arrival due to fire"

"No. We're always ready to welcome your husband."

The old servant answers the words of the Marquis Jilbolt with a grin.

I have not brought my servants from the Marquis. They say the servants have nothing but a few housekeepers to keep away from them because of a sudden visit without prior contact.

So Marquis Jilbolt said it would be somewhat inconvenient... well, we're just talking about ourselves. There is no problem.

Let's finish the hair dye first. It's not like the escort can't move.

"Can I borrow your kitchen?

"Of course. Come here."

Guided to the residence by the Marquis of Gilbolt. Go through the red carpeted hallway to the kitchen.

"Well, let's get started"

Rosemary lines up the cooking table with the ingredients she bought at the alchemist's shop. Nuts as if blueberries had been clenched. Some kind of liquid in the flask. Medicine for powder wrapped in paper.

Furthermore, should we call it a classic of this kind of formulation? There are even bat feathers such as dried yamori.

"... What about the big pot?

"It's not even that much of a real substitute, so I'll have enough in a regular pot."

Place the nuts in a pan and crush the nuts with a rinse stick. Pour water over the pan and pour liquid and powder into it as you slowly stir.

"Later - if you boil this a little, you can do it. Comb your hair with a pair of clothes. You'll have to apply it to your eyebrows and lashes, but you won't have a problem with it because you have makeup tools."

"... you're really easy to make"

The pan is full of black liquid. This is why I dye my hair... maybe purple black hair.

Rosemary is preparing another medicine in parallel in another pan, beside waiting for the dye to complete. They use dry feathers for this one.

"This one's for dyeing. You can't get rid of the color with water, but you can only get rid of the color of nuts with this medicine."

"Heh..."

Convenient stuff. Should I call it a decolorant? However, this one seems to take a bit of a hand, adding a variety of magical processes such as chanting while mixing.

"Could it be the same color of hair as mine?

Peek into the pan with the dye, Claudia says.

"I think it will be a close color. I could do other colors, because this color is the most unmistakable."

Well, sure. I don't know if I have to let both me and Ashley handle it.

The dye boils and lowers from the fire where it is simmered.

"... well. Well, let's split it up."

"Right."

Grace and Mallane bring in two chairs.

"Take off your jacket. It's gonna come in color."

"Mmm. Copy that."

"Marquis Jilbolt, do you have any sheets you don't want?

"Let's get ready."

Preparations for hair dyeing are getting better and better for things like that.

Take off your jacket, make sure you wear the sheets and sit in the chair, Sheila brings a cosmetic case from the dragon cage. Brush-like tools are removed and arranged on a cooking table.

"Hmm. That's interesting stuff. I don't think I can dye my hair with it."

Tefra peeks in with interest.

"Hehe. It's fun to get ready like this."

Princess Stephania laughs.

It's for disguise...... not only Princess Stephania, but everyone seems to enjoy it somewhere. … can I say that it is an atmosphere like the one I am preparing for a masquerade at a cultural festival if I want to paraphrase it?

"I'll just try dyeing it a little bit at first and see if it develops. Add nuts if shades seem thin, and dilute if too thick."

Let's start with me. Dye the brush and comb the tips of your hair. Everyone peeks in with a serious face.

"Yes. Theodore"

"Mm-hmm. Thanks"

Serafina lifts up her hand mirror and shows me the finish.

My forehead was in a room, glossy black.

"Yeah. Sounds good"

"Right. It's a natural color."

Illumhilt nods.

"Well, be polite one by one. Try not to apply dye to your scalp."

"Okay."

Grace and Rosemary split up and dyed my hair from left to right. Ashley magically flies water from the side of the dye to dry her hair.

Mallane and Claudia take the dyed brush and carefully apply the right and left eyebrows. I'll make sure they don't go crazy. I'll make sure they don't move. Slightly, ticklish.

"Should I leave the fundamentals and lashes to Sheila?

"Mm-hmm. Taken care of."

And Sheila with the brush comes directly to the front. When I closed my eyes, I felt my eyelashes tickle slightly. The hair is further raised and gently brushed and dyed near the root of the hair that has not yet been dyed.

"Shall I also proceed with Ashley's hair dye while Sheila finishes"

"Yes, thank you"

Next door Ashley started dyeing her hair as well. I dyed it from the end of my hair and am seeing the colour develop. I use the same dye, but Ashley and I have different hair colors, so the finish seems to be slightly different.

"Done."

"Thanks"

Sheila, who was moving the brush, hands me the hand mirror.

I put my hair up myself to see if there was any left over dye. On the back, Serafina takes another mirror and shows it in a matching mirror.

Yeah. Apparently, it's good. Ashley's hair seems to take longer than mine, though.

"Safety check in the mansion, over"

Elmer came back there. Well, first of all, is the disguise and secure base complete or something? At this time. Perhaps it would be safe to make a hidden room for evacuation in the Marquis' apartment.
