Boundary Labyrinth and the Foreign Magician

The core part of the Sage's school league is a giant tower of stone.

I pushed the door open and went inside and the entrance hall popped into my eyes. There is a climbing staircase in front, and a circular passage extends along the outer circumference to the left and right.

The soldiers run up the stairs and scatter into the left and right aisles. Just because the tower is huge, it would have been a hassle if they had taken hostages here and put them in a cage.

"His Majesty Eberberbert has asked me to lead you to the area where the elders are being captured in order to give the safety of the elders the highest priority."

King Eberberbert's messenger turned to us and said:

"Can you show me around?

"Yes, we have looked at those who have surrendered, who are familiar with the inside of the tower, and have obtained information. I was wondering if it would take less time. It may take a while to control the entire tower."

... I see.

"Okay. Once we've discovered the elders, we'd like to hit the underground guard until control of the tower is over."

"It helps. In some cases, you may need to heal…"

Sure. I treated King Eberberberbert. If we were together, we could combine escort and treatment, so it would be convenient for us to get in formation underground.

There comes a soldier of preaching on his run. The soldier ran busily again when he struck the messenger in the ear.

"I think I could hear the way down to the basement. Let me show you around."

When the messenger says so, he walks out to take the lead. We followed.

Up the stairs, straight ahead, you'll see a big door. Touching the sphere on the wall reacts to magic and the door opens to itself.... I feel like this kind of making is just a magical power.

Step behind the door - and. It was a large library built in the heart of the tower. There is a desk and chair in the center of the room to do the research, and the bookcases are arranged all the way on the inner wall of the cylindrical room. It's a blowout, with balcony seats on the equivalent of the upstairs and third floors, which seem to have the same structure up to about the fifth floor.

"This is inside... that's intriguing."

Rosemary groans as she looks around inside the Great Library. I guess I just want to fish for books here as a rosemary if I have time and am allowed to.

The messenger looks inside the Great Library and says:

"I was saying there's a door here to get down to the basement..."

"Let's find it"

Even if Zadias and the others said they were based, there would be people in and out of the Great Library. Zadias seemed to have decided that he was nominally protecting the elders who sealed his memory, but I don't even think it would loosen up much security. It shouldn't be strange to have a hidden door or so that leads to the basement. He released Cadkeus and scrutinized for suspicious places on the back of the library… and discovered a hidden door-like slice on the wall behind one bookcase.

"... Found"

"Already?

The messenger rounds his eyes.

"Matthius is good at this"

"No well..."

Sheila's words are somewhat difficult to respond to.

It's an underground corridor. Hidden doors are hard to deny. Grace is smiling because she knows I found her stash room.

"... I think there might be some trick in this bookcase"

Restore your mind and we'll all go in front of the bookcase.

Is that a classic, like pushing or pulling a particular book? As he split up and pushed, pulled, and tilted the book in the bookcase, he hit the book Mallane stretched out and pushed. Something sounds like a clasp coming off, and the bookcase opens in the back. There was a staircase leading downstairs.

"Thanks"

With that said, Mallane snorts and smiles uncontrollably.

Then let's go.

down the spirally detoured stairs.... there are people ahead who know their mother. I feel slightly restless when I think about it.

There was a sturdy iron door down the stairs.... a dungeon?

"The magic... doesn't feel"

Hands around the keyhole to explore the signs of magic. The iron door feels slightly newer than the texture of the building. Apparently, the door itself is behind it. That Zadias or Volheim renovated the basement, not wanting people to touch it?

That's abominable to think it was made by Zadias. I want to break it, but it doesn't necessarily mean there's no trap, and if that trap is like hurting someone trapped inside to keep a secret, I can't even see it. Feelings are slightly off, but let's be discreet here.

Sheila takes out the work tools of the Bandit Guild and examines the keyhole with cautious hands. Let the magic light shine to make it easier to see at hand.

"There are no traps. Unlock."

Sheila started unlocking by inserting a wire-like tool into the keyhole.

Is it really just something to trap? Well, if you're sealing your memories, you won't be able to use any magic.

"Open"

When Sheila left, the door opened in the back.

"Thanks Sheila"

"Mmm."

"You're handy..."

The messenger who was watching it says it in a voice that was impressed.

"At Termwilds, we dive into the labyrinth."

"Oh. Are you used to exploring"

"That's what I mean"

Step inside the dungeon.... a much wider and brighter atmosphere than the impression I get from the literal dungeon. It is brightly illuminated with demonic props.

There is a hall-like hall, and there is also room for round tables, chairs, etc. in the magic props of water creation to give some relief.

Is it more appropriate to say a massive jail than a dungeon?

"If you're here... from what I've seen, you didn't treat me badly"

"Maybe so. Because memories are just sealed."

As Claudia sighed somewhere relieved, Ashley nodded with a bright grin.

It's pointless to torture him more than he's been made to remember, and given that he was moving towards his goal of bringing back memories and extracting information sooner or later, there shouldn't be so much reason to treat him as unscrupulous. By claiming that he has taken care of himself before without doing anything absurd, I wonder if he had also put in perspective to be flexible after restoring his memory.

King Eberberbert also said that circumstances prevented him from speaking to the elders, but Zadias probably called it isolation to treat, etc.

"If you imitate the absurd, you won't even get through the excuse."

Find a hallway at the end of the hall. As we proceeded, the wooden doors lined up.

... Is it a private room for the elders? Knock from close quarters to speak up and see if there's anyone in there.

"Is anyone in there?

"... Yes"

I got a response. It's a woman's voice. I heard the sound of unlocking from the inside and a private room door opened.

Was the iron door the only one that served to lock it up?

It was the young woman who showed her face. It's not an atmosphere of elderhood... but it's an old lineage, so it could be the elder's family.

"You're not the usual woman. Is it new in?

"... no. It's not. I'll explain the situation, so first of all, I'd like to ask the people here not to get together in that hall once, okay?

"Yes, I understand."

"... I'd like to take a quick peek at the situation before I do."

I want to know about what they hear and what they understand about their situation. I avoided situations where people would get distrusted after gathering people together.

"Is it like you can answer me?

"Just what you know, just what you can answer. Do you know why you're here?

"Uh. He said there was a magic experiment failure. We all lost our memories in an accident, and in Sylvatria, you said you were looking for a way to get your memories back... and that's why you wanted to study the cure."

... I see.

"There was a locked door at the entrance, do you know anything about that?

"Honestly, I'm not coming... because he's an important person, and he's in danger of being targeted... so that the intruder doesn't come in..."

That's all I said, the look on the woman's face clouded.

"Oh, no. I have no intention of causing any harm at all. You don't stay here, you're free."

"... right"

The woman nods after seeing the touch on this face. Well, there's nothing intimidating about it from the apparent age group. Though they may wonder what group it is.

If I had listened a little more, he would have been allowed to take walks on the premises of the Sage's Academic Union, although it was guarded by the name of escort.

Well, I can tell you that I was just fooling someone who had lost their memory, and the magic they had was just what I was looking for... but the situation was many times worse than being treated badly.

But, well, I see what's going on. Let's all split up and speak up in the room and have them gather in the hall.

But then... you can't mix it up here even if you brought a magician on Elliot's boat. Is it locked away somewhere else?

"Were you here"

At that time, the soldier of the earlier decree runs out of breath.

"What's wrong?

When the messenger asked, the decree answered with salute as he breathed.

"Upstairs, he discovered a magician-style man with slave magic."

"... I thought you were probably related to the people here. Mr. Elliot, do you remember the magician's face on the boat?

"I think you can tell by looking at each other. The Black Knights fought with each other."

Right...... If you have memories of being let out of the Academic League, you could have fought the Black Knights, and if you had slave magic, it would be possible to force you to work for Zadias.

"... please let me through here. Don't be rude."

"Okay."

The soldiers of the decree ran up the spiral stairs as they returned their heels.

Now, let's go back to the task of guiding the sorcerers of the old lineage. Even so, I'll just knock on the door, speak up, and have him come out to the hall. Everyone listens to percentages honestly, so it doesn't take much. I don't even have the slightest suspicion... maybe it's because I've lost my memory and I've been here forever.

"Is this everyone?

"Yes. Right."

At the end of the induction, a soldier brings back a man wearing a robe from above. A print was floating around his neck indicating that slave magic was hanging.

"It's been a while. Do you remember seeing you on the boat?

When Elliot speaks, the man rounds his eyes. Apparently, he's definitely the one in the matter.

"You... of that time. Were you alive?"

"Yeah. Looks like we were safe with each other. Above all. I'm here to free you."

"Right..."

The man sighs as he looks up to heaven.

"Please wait a little longer for the release of slave magic"

"... oh. I've been waiting for years. There's no such thing as a little patience later."

When I spoke, the man narrowed his eyes and laughed.

All right...... Let's get started then. Turning to the magicians who lost their memories gathered in the hall, they breathe loudly before cutting out.

"Don't be surprised to hear it. As a matter of fact, I know how to restore my memory. I'm going to bring your memories back now."

When I cut it out that way, the blurring occurred between them, who had been watching the situation in the way of what would happen until then.

"Is that true?

I said, the first woman I spoke to.

"Yes. I think there's some anxiety with the abrupt story...... Perhaps it would be quicker for me to explain the reason why I can use that magic. [M] Of course, if I ask you to explain it first, I'll answer as best I can."

With that said, they look at each other. Eventually, an earlier woman stepped forward and said:

"... we know very little about the outside. So... there's no way you know what's right, what's wrong, etc. If they say so, we have to believe them."

... I guess so.

Though you will honestly listen to this one, you will still have inner anxiety.

"But we've all always wanted to get our memories back. So the story is both delightful and anxious. Hopefully...... could you ask me first?

That's what I'm saying, I'm gonna stare at me.

"... ok. Sit back in your chair and relax."

When we stare at each other for a while and then we answer that, the woman nods.

Close your eyes and put your hands on her head as she stands still, take one deep breath before unfolding the magic circle.

Mother and another magician, the magic that the two of them protected. When the surgical ceremony takes effect, another magic circle floats alone before the forehead on the woman's side as well.

Magical memory sealing and unlocking. As this unfolding magic circle glistened so strongly, the female side of the magic circle spinned, showing a behavior that broke down and opened from the center. The magic circle over there is completely torn apart and disappears. This procedure is almost complete at the same time.

"... what do you think?

Ask. As everyone sipped and watched - the woman looked up at me when she opened her eyes thinly and gave me a crying look. He hugs me from there.

"Oh...... With the color and the shadow of your eyes, I can tell. You're Patricia's kid, aren't you?
