Boundary Labyrinth and the Foreign Magician

Finish your story at the Adventurer's Guild in Mass Maddle and head to the Sirius as you pass on what you hear to the Princess Stephania in the camel car.

Upon arrival...... it seemed that the Lindblum, who was being looked after by Amblum, who looked like a servant, noticed this one.

When you raise your voice toward the other flying dragons, you fly simultaneously off the surface of the water, circling over the oasis in formation to cut off the water attached to your body, and then traveling to the deck of the Sirius.

It may be their concern not to surprise the camels.

Saphir, who was taking a bath in the water, glides through the surface rinse to mimic it, and then rises and moves to the deck.

And Corliss, who was swimming slowly with only his face and back deep in the oasis. When I sensed Princess Stephania had arrived, I floated to the surface of the water and when I bumped, I shook my body and cut the water, flying through the sky and traveling to the Sirius.

Only Alpha seemed to be seated on the deck from the beginning.

"Morning."

When I speak, Lindblum and Alpha move their necks vertically.

"Oh, Corliss. Good luck answering your messages."

Corliss was also responding by raising her hand when Princess Stephania waved one hand small to greet her.

"Good Morning"

It is Elmer of the Knights of the Apocalypse who has spoken out on his arrival to the front of the Sirius.

"Good morning, Sir Elmer."

"In addition to Captain Elliot, several others are going to the market to buy out supplies. I thought it might be time to come back."

"Okay."

And Elliot and the others came back from beside what I was saying. I come down the ramp loaded with supplies on several luggage cars.

"Good morning. Good luck buying it out."

"Oh, good morning, Sir Theodore. Thank you."

When Elliot smiles, the other knights return a greeting.

The loading of the luggage began as soon as the luggage car arrived in front of the Sirius. It seems pretty efficient to float heavy water barrels and carry them all over the deck at once because of the facade of everyone being able to use levitation or have magic props.

"I just went to the market and store in the morning and bought a lot of things. There was a wide range of ingredients and supplies."

"Maybe the supplies that adventurers have found in the forest of examples are flowing into Mass Maddle. We have also taken to the Temple of the Moon and the Adventurer's Guild. I'll tell you what I heard while traveling on the Sirius."

"Okay."

Lift a barrel filled with smoked meat chunks and fruit while talking to Elliot. Let's help load it up and finish getting ready to leave quickly.

And...... Preparations for departure are over, and we are finally leaving for the Old Capital and the Forest.

"Then His Highness Elkham. Take care."

"Yes, Fatima is well."

and Princess Elkham and Fatima exchange words. I finished my farewell greeting with Princess Elkham. Fatima has turned to me and bowed her head deeply.

"Again... let me thank you as the one who keeps the Mass Maddle. I'm sure if Sir Theodore hadn't been here, things wouldn't have stayed just the mess around Mass Maddle. I wish Lord Theodore the best of luck and success in his mission."

"Thank you. Something about the Royal House of Nahalvia… I'll come back to you if I know anything."

"Yes, I'll be waiting for you"

That said, Fatima praises him again. We all climbed the Tallap and boarded the Sirius, and when we made the personnel call, the Sirius surfaced.

Apparently, the forest is also rich in demonic materials. The dragons are well fed. As far as Corliss ore is concerned, I have no problem with it because I left Term Wills loaded in enough quantities in the barn that I would not want a steady replenishment from the start. Well... Regardless of the ore, food and water seem to be available for replenishment in the old capital, and is it easier to investigate?

"- So a small shadow in the woods... it also got less than certain information that he was stunned and evicted from the woods fighting something that uttered the word. Based on the fact that communication of will is possible, we intend to try to negotiate, assuming we encounter anyone who seems to do so. But if they act in a way that makes you feel dangerous, intercept them at their discretion."

At that time, however, while his own safety is a priority, he communicates to all Knights of Enchantment through his voice tube that he will refrain from excessive attacks and deep pursuits and leave room for a single negotiation.

"... I wonder who it is. Is it the same person who blames the forest, or is it something else?"

Returning to the bridge table away from the voice tube, Rosemary said as she clasped in her hand to close or open the feather fan.

"If there is any possibility other than the blame, is it a dwarf or an elf?

Grace tilts her neck. I see. There's something elf-like about just acting.

"If you're an elf, it's a strange story that adults don't come out. If an intruder shows up, an adult warrior will be the first to respond to this. Well... discard the appearance of Non. Sometimes it's hard to look old when you have more magic."

And, Auria. Compared to us, elves tend to be skinny and luxurious, but they can still tell the difference between adults and children. As for Aulia, well... she's just a small, child-face among the elves.

"I heard the dwarves... live in the meadows"

"Hmm. They don't live in the woods. Basically, they don't welcome guests... they don't really look like they want to be in the desert in the first place."

Hmm. Is there still too little information? Maybe it's better not to be weird and preconceived.

As we went on talking about how to explore in the woods and so on, we eventually saw something beyond the tasteless, dry desert scenery - a green sight. The identity of the colour is that of the plant... but the way it grows is distinctly different from that of the mass maddle, where greenery grows around the river and oasis.

"That's the sanctuary..."

I have the impression that a meadow suddenly appears in the corner of the desert and soon a depressed and lush forest is spreading. It is an unusual sight inside.

Of the crown... it's dense. With that, you won't know what's going on in the woods just from the sky. We actually need to step into the woods and search, but the woods look pretty wide too. It won't have people's hands in it, and lice crushing will take too long.

We should start by looking at it from the sky and narrow down the candidates for the area to be explored. When that happens, there is no point unless the criteria are laid down.

If we thought from which direction and where it would be behind the forest...... we should still look at the side facing the desert as the "entrance" to the forest, using the old metropolitan side as a reference. I guess the adventurers use that as their starting point.

"Explore the sanctuary from the old metropolitan side and once you see the forest from the sky. You might have something to figure out. I'd like to see the ruins of the old capital once before that."

"Um. I understand. Anyway, let's start with the old capital."

Old Siegmund moves the ship forward. The Sirius is disguised as invisible from the ground in a field of light magic. There won't be any noise in the old capital either.

And the old capital approached me step by step. Even though it is a renounced capital, the exterior walls and so on are intact. Something... even looks like a market. I don't know if I can call them residents, but the people based here seem to be predominantly adventurers and merchants. With merchants and those who use the old capital to do business with them.... some soldiers.

It is said that those are the soldiers sent by Fatima. It is hard to say that the management of the Bahárzad is completely extended to the old capital of Nahalvia... but I guess this is how more adventurers and merchants need to play a policing role than just gathering together.

Fatima keeps a letter saying I can give my name if I have to. It won't be that hard to explain to the soldiers because there's Princess Elkham.

Oasis in the heart of the city. And - I saw a building surrounded by walls near it.

"That... is the royal castle of Nahalvia"

Princess Elkham says in a sinking tone of heartless. The large building in the centre of the site has a rounded view of the spacing in the building from above. Household tools, conditioning items, etc. seem to have been taken out and nothing left. I don't know if it was looting or if the surviving Queens of Sherrity disposed of it and replaced it with gold.

I'm talking about the upstairs being swallowed up by the darkness and wiped out... well.

"I think we can drop the Sirius off in the courtyard of the Imperial Castle."

"Right. If you don't mind, I will."

Old Siegmund answers Claudia's words.

"Of course. We're here to find out why the Imperial Castle disappeared."

Princess Elkham nodded with a serious face.

The story is that the Royal Castle trail is off-limits, so it would be a good place to keep the Sirius moored.
