Boundary Labyrinth and the Foreign Magician

"Well, I'm hoping for good news"

"Yes. See you soon"

"Uhm."

King Eberberberbert drops me off and I resign from the royal castle and head to the premises of the Sage's Academic Union.

It was decided to take the books and materials to Termwilds side to proceed with the decryption and research. There seems to be a variety of things that can be brought out of the Sage's academic league, and things that cannot be brought out, but even on the side of the academic league, the elders take the form of making up for the work.

In short, sometimes I need to come to Sylvatria and hear the rest of the story, but it also means checking for demon moves. It's necessary and hassle free.

"Oh, Theodore, is that you?"

Face the tower, on the premises of the Academic Union. The face of the Seven Houses was just pulling various books and such out of the forbidden library and treasure trove and arranging them on the desk of the Great Library.

When we show our faces, we stop working and gather.

"Hello"

"No, you've come a long way"

When I greet the face of the Seven Houses, I say a welcome word to my mouth. He seems to be very pleased with his face.

"I hear you and Lord Siegmund are here. I'm just getting my prepped book out of the back library."

Uh. Was it one of the heads of the Seven Houses, Mr. Emile-Olgran?

I was dressed differently than I had seen before and had a style of moustache on my monocle. Charlotte's father.

"Thank you"

"Of what. That's all we can do."

That's what Emile laughs at.

"Father."

"Charlotte? Is something wrong?

Charlotte greets Emile. Emile sees it and takes it seriously. Because it was different from when Charlotte's atmosphere left, I wonder. Maybe there was something about Charlotte that changed.

"I have spoken to Theodore at the castle."

"Ho."

"Hmm. We have to talk about this earlier."

That's what old Siegmund says, and he turns his gaze on me. I nod and explain to everyone what I found out in my conversation with Volheim, the role of the sealed witch.

"So I was wondering if the contract was not concluded because the seal had already been unsealed"

"I see...... Apparently, we're behind it."

"Maybe. But we want to inherit the sealing technique. The goal is to rebuild the demon seal, but it must be a loss if it is lost as a technology."

"Right. So Charlotte..."

"Father. May I turn to Termwilds, just like Grandpa Siegmund and Valentina?

"... right. Get ready for your journey."

When Emile nodded, Charlotte left the Grand Library to pack her own bags with a serious face.

"I'm sorry I let you coach my daughter. You must be busy too."

"No. Returning what your mother left behind to where it should be... is also what I should do"

"Right..."

Emile closes her eyes. Do you remember my mother?

Nodding to regain his mind, Emile takes the book.

"The ancient documents here are a substitute for what we've seen about Termwilds' labyrinth. I think if the decryption of the seal and the junction goes on, it will come out."

"Is it still a secret trick?"

"Uhm, but don't think it's your Lord who should take over to consider Theodore and his children's role in the future."

"He who makes it the direct line of the Wilcloud family and is deeply involved in the labyrinth. And a battle magician who butchered a demon. We should put things about the labyrinth in the labyrinth than we should keep them."

"… then……. I'll keep it."

Say so and thank you.

"Yeah. I'm getting ready for what I can bring out, so just wait here a little longer, okay?"

"Yes."

The art of using the labyrinth in past materials, the art of sealing in the art of junction. Plus the study of Voorheim's Qi technique. The objects that can be brought back from these will be taken back and researched and deciphered in parallel at Termwilds and Vinesdora.

"I'd like to hear about the work that took down the demon."

The elders smile.

"Right. Speaking of which, Theodore, we've heard that you defeated the Demon, but we don't know much about it."

"Oh. That's for sure. I'm curious."

Since we talked about..., I shared more information about the battle with the demons along with the meaning of sharing information around the jewels and beads...

Starting in Lynette, the fever, the dancing sword and when the conversation progressed, the laughter of the elders dried up whenever two names of the demon emerged.

Along the way, Illumhilt has started playing music instead of BGM, giving an intensity to stories of fighting demons. Charlotte, who packed her bags, was also back in the Grand Library, and at some point it was a memoir of the Demon Wars for me and everyone.

Mallane also had Serafina on her shoulder, and the two of us listened to each other seriously. There are plenty of things worth telling the story for.

"No. A demon manipulating summons is quite a mutation, but a fever and a dancing sword..."

"Variants...... Really?

"Because they have a certain bias in their power."

...... yeah. That could be true. Lynette didn't have the temper trait... but maybe his missing hole is surprisingly big for the demon.

"The fierce heat prevents him from approaching even if he prevents it, and he hears that he is a master of the sword without the heat."

"And a dancing sword. You think you flew countless swords and chopped up crusaders without moving a step"

"How dare you... it's what brought those people down. I thought the only way to beat a high-ranking demon was to create a situation where he couldn't escape in the junction, and fight instead in quantity and drain him."

"Uhm. Do multiple walls against heat or shield deployments to all directions...... keep it up until the fight. Apparently, we have a different dimension in our ability to control magic."

And the elders are nodding convincingly.

"I've also heard stories about defeating Princess Erosion... is there anything else?

"The Black Skeleton is next to the Dance Sword"

Sheila said, the elders' faces stretched.

"Black, wreck......!?

"Gardinis the Black Skeleton! You didn't take him down!

I wonder what. Though the reaction seems slightly different from when it comes to heat or sword dancing.

"Yeah. Looks like you were a patriarch of the Duobelis. Is there something about that demon?

"Anything or nothing, he's a direct enemy of our ancestors. It's not a medal."

"... Was it"

Sure... he seemed to have some combat experience with Battlemage, and he seemed to know how to deal with it. It was a verbal gesture that also held reliable information about the loss of metastatic magic... so there was a direct connection with the Seven Houses.

I wonder if he was the head of the Burkmuller family at the time.

"Mm-hmm. In defeat from Belliondora, he served as his lord to let the people escape. So I stopped the pursuit of the black skeleton with the white Fei Long Bordnoff."

"So you have avenged my father!

and from its current owner of the Burkmuller family, he is slapped on the shoulder with a full smile.

"I want you to tell me what the battle against the Black Skeleton is about."

"Uh. So first of all, is it from where the Duobelis have been attacking?"

"Oh. Then he said he stole his moves in battle with him."

"Propagating shocks to magic shields, etc… it's like fighting"

Say, create a chunk of ice, pinch the shield and gently strike in the impact method. Then a tiny chunk of ice entered.

"Hmm..."

"This is interesting"

The elders look at the ice cubes I've made in a curious way.

"... when the enemy uses it, it's terrible technology."

"So the Black Skeleton makes you infamous as a sorcerer killer."

Valentina and Charlotte are nodding at each other as they pack their bags and come back.

"- No, it was an interesting story"

"But what bothers me is Gardinis's leftover words."

"The first one is as an ancient demon. I'm worried about being young."

"The chief among them? I hear that the Black Skeleton adheres to his own merits. Such a demon is the kind of person he mentions with an ancient demon. Not the only one."

Demon enough to be aware that Gardinis could be shoulder to shoulder.

"... maybe we should quote less and think of it as equal to or more than Gardinis"

"I don't know who you are, but if you're so much of an opponent, you have a record somewhere, too, don't you think?

says Grace, who conceived it. Rosemary nodded in tune hiding her mouth with a feather fan.

"I think we should also look at the damage caused by the relatively new demons, especially the young ones."

"Outreach You might be mixed up in it. From there... there's a chance we'll find out something."

To Ashley's words, Claudia closes her eyes.

"Right. High-ranking demons have somewhere to deliberately spread their notoriety. But in what the ancient dragon devil calls a young creation... the scope is ambiguous."

"Well, let's just say we're going to investigate both of them."

The elders nod. As for the demon info these days, I guess I'll ask King Melvin a few questions when I get back to Termwilds. I may also have information about neighboring countries.
