Boundary Labyrinth and the Foreign Magician

Clean up the herd of demons that came out of the hall and pause for a moment, freeing the living armors in the cages that were dumpling in the rear, and this one falls under control.

Even so, the armor underneath me when I rolled was damaged by the nucleus. Some of it was already immobilized, and I didn't know which helmet was my helmet and it got messy, and it seemed like a mayhem.

Still, some of the armored men came this way as soon as they liberated...... it didn't take much time to suppress in the end, and the battle ended lightly when Ignis' battle hammer smashed the last remaining heavy armor head-on.

"Are you hurt?

"This one's fine"

"Mm-hmm. Fine."

"Likewise"

As usual, let's start by checking the damage. I grinned and nodded as I turned my gaze to Mallane. Mm-hmm. Everybody's fine.

The other side didn't seem to make use of the number either, as they were able to concentrate and respond in one direction, the aisle ahead of the hall without being besieged. Sometimes I jumped over from the top and put a pinch on it the other way around.

"That one earlier, it seemed like fun"

And Sheila says as she looks at Valor. Did that mean I flew on Valor?

"No well...... Don't imitate that because you get shaken off and injured if you can't control it in detail with a levitation or a shield."

I'm in control of Valor's orbit. Attitude does magic, and can also be described as a craftsmanship that cannot be done without direct control. You won't be able to reproduce it with a little magic prop.

"Mm. Too bad."

Sheila dropped the percentage slightly. Illumhilt smiles somewhere fun watching Sheila like that.

"Well, let's finish stripping first."

"Okay."

Quite a lot this time. It takes a lot of time, but we can afford the time, so let's be polite.

Elephas soldier's barbaric knife and ivory. Hellhound fangs and furs, parts of armor that seem to remain in use, swords, spears, and shields. And a lineup of extracted demon stones. Nothing is that valuable as a rank, but the quantity would be quite a price for just the quantity.

Finish stripping all the way and have the material gathered and transferred to Claudia. Take those to the Adventurer Alliance later... the quest isn't over yet. Further down the aisle leading from the back of the hall.

After all, there seemed to be a hidden room for demons to wait on the left and right side of the aisle. The same structure and space can be seen in the living room armor's waiting room. I wish it was a chest in the stash room. It seems to be a natural trap.

Going through the meantime, he went out into a circular open area without much. It's made to remind me of the arena. The perimeter is like a moat, where it is filled with lava.

Behind the circular square is a long climbing staircase. Thick columns, like temples, forest at regular intervals, both in circular places and on stairs. On the columns, the gargoyles.

In a fairly spacious staircase - the structure is such that lava flows down the left and right walls, passing through the grooves in the corners and into the moat.

That the building materials that are supposed to be white are lit red... it's a sword swallowing place inside. Well, I can tolerate the fever because of the blessings of Tefra... And - if I raised my gaze up, I could see the sealed door before I climbed through the stairs.

"... is that it"

It's a huge door compared to other compartment seals. Inscribed on the celestial map It is the door that leads to the Spirit Hall of Fire... but it is still firmly closed.

The gargoyles waiting - these people don't seem to have any sign of an attack. The gaze fits... but instead of pointing at the prickly object in my hand, I keep my gaze back in front and quiet like a literal statue.

"Gargoyle...... Apparently, they won't attack us."

I frowned when Rosemary saw the gargoyle sitting on the pillar.

Gargoyle. Well, for Rosemary, it's the guys who were guards while he was in the north tower, and maybe he has something to think about.

"Maybe it's a gargoyle under Ignacious"

"Oh. You were in the north tower, too. That's because he obeys his father's orders too... could it be from the days of the Seven Wise Men?

"Maybe."

... Is the Gargoyle here not attacking us because he has been ordered not to attack us by Ignacious? Well... if it's not going to be a fight, do you need to stimulate this one or not?

There were also gargoyles and golems in the Spirit Hall of the wind and the earth, and they were placed in the tower north of Theorem the royal castle. If it was made by the Seven Wise Men who built the seal, it would be a comfortable part of Ning Ro to have something in common with the north tower and the Spirit Palace.

Either way, this will mean that we have reached the last Spirit Palace. As for the key jewels, let's say they move to retrieve them at the same time as the release of the seal.

I sold off the material in the Adventurer's Guild before heading to the Royal Castle. Go talk to the Kings of Melvin, including reports of the arrival of the Spirit Palace.

According to the samurai at the castle, Ignacious and the others were staying at the hotel, so they headed there. When I was put through to one of the hotel rooms, there was Ignacious and Lazaro... Ignacious broke up with me when he admitted what I looked like.

Make the end of the dragon's mouth grin somewhere pranky. Lazaro kept quietly next to Ignacious, as usual.

"Hello, both of you"

"Theodore? Safe and above all."

"How'd it go? Exploring Fort Hot Castle"

"We've reached the front door of the seal. I came back to see the faces of the gargoyles."

"That's more than anything."

I'll exchange greetings with the two of them and sit across from Ignacious.

"I thought you were staying at the king's tower."

"No, that's what they said at first. They showed me a lot of nostalgia in the castle and how the city was... and I was wondering about this new hotel. I've been here since yesterday."

"I see. Is that why"

"You can also see the training landscape of knights and soldiers from here. Training for flying gear is interesting"

I can see the knights training at the squad yard you can see through the window. There is a nest hole in Corliss in the shade at the corner... but it looks like Corliss is also touring the training landscape with a peek in his face from there. Some atmospheres are likely to be learning about handling air war gear….

No, well, as long as I leave the Corliss thing at first now.

I guess for Ignacious and Lazaro, who haven't been out of the labyrinth in a long time, everything they see is fresh. Perhaps a new reception hotel suits my taste better than staying at the King's Tower. Talk to the two of you over a cup of tea.

"Speaking of which, were the gargoyles in front of the sealed door still at the hands of the Seven Wise Men?

and ask what I was concerned about earlier in the labyrinth.

"Hmm. That should have been placed in part as a castle guard, too. The gargoyles at Fort Hot Castle guarded the door, but ordered them not to lay their hands on it."

"Thank you. But... are you still old?"

"Is there something wrong with that too?

"Hmm...... I have wrecked the Crystal Golem of the Spirit Hall of the Earth in battle with the Devil."

"There's no problem. Those golems will play from shards over time."

... Really? That's above all.

Gargoyles and crystal golems play a slightly different role than labyrinth demons again, and it's like a moving cultural heritage if you know where they're coming from. Perfect performance as a guardian with a long standing role in self-regeneration.

"Well, if anything, they will also be able to use it as a force of war. The Devil's opponent will be just as difficult."

Do you follow Ignacious's instructions? Well, let's just say I'll keep it in my memory as a corner of my power.

"Yes, yes. I heard that too. Some princess discovered the castle's hidden passage herself? There was no hidden passage, so that's what they asked me when I was guiding them."

"Oh. You mean Marie."

Ignacious shudders his shoulders when he answers that. Maybe King Melvin has told me about Rosemary as well.

And when I was exchanging such stories with Ignacious, there came King Melvin.

"Oh, you're back, Theodore"

"Yes, we have reached the door of Fort Hot Castle. I think I'll continue my training at Fort Hot Castle and the Full Moon Labyrinth when it comes to the Labyrinth."

"It is dauntless. Now you can always celebrate the day of sealed liberation. Wouldn't that have been close to my birthday?

I laugh bitterly at that word.

"Right. I'm thinking about spending another year at Termwilds' house."

"Mm-hmm. I've cleared up my impending goal, so don't worry about it first."

And that's how King Melvin laughed.
