Boundary Labyrinth and the Foreign Magician

The exploration of the royal castle was also completed as a whole, where Ramlijah joined as a companion...... we all boarded the Sirius, which meant looking at the forest from the sky as planned first.

I'll do the maneuvering. In order to make a map by understanding the surrounding conditions while operating the ship.

The Sirius, who disappears by light magic, surfaces. The ship continues in the same direction as the adventurers heading into the woods as they look under their eyes.

As soon as I crossed the outer wall and plugged it into the woods...

"Theodore. Look at this"

And, Claudia shows us the azimuthal magnet. The needle indicating the orientation was spinning all the way around.

"I was expecting... to get lost"

If you don't know the orientation but wander appropriately, you will be led to the outer edge, maybe you don't need to worry about it for getting out of the woods. Even if you lose your position, you can walk around the outer edge of the forest to get back to base.

In fact, the adventurers returning to their base in charge of the supplies obtained in the woods in that way could also be seen from above. The outer edges are meadows, so the temperatures will be easier than walking in the desert, and food and drinking water will be secured if they are better. The adventurers seem to be using the characteristics of the forest successfully.

Keep going over the woods. Again, the crown is dense and the state in the woods cannot be seen from the sky.

Let me try to get a grip on the general topography by first straddling the forest like this, then circling the outer edges and using a scaled model of how far the green grows, etc.

The sense of direction will go crazy because there are no azimuthal magnets, but using the position of the old capital as a guide from the crystal plate should be generally fine.

Just kept going, Grace asks.

"Hmm... have you changed the course of the ship?

"No. We're approaching the old capital properly, and I'm sure we haven't changed the direction we're going... Is that it?

Hmm? I was in the wrong direction to put the old capital...? Loosen the speed of the Sirius to check the situation.

- No, wait. Something is uncomfortable. You have to come out of the Old Capital and cross the woods first... so you just have to go ahead and carry the city.

So there should be no mistake in this positional relationship...... It's that simple, there's no reason to worry. There was some strange discomfort, like something wrong.

If you look at it, everyone has a strange look on their face that doesn't really fall anywhere.

"... Mallane. Bless you."

When I said it, Mallane nodded and showed me how to pray. Plus layers up to the light magic of mental defense.

"I'm not going in the wrong direction, it's supposed to be. If this discomfort is in itself the effect of a junction in the forest, it's convincing."

Because measures have been taken, the discomfort that was experienced earlier is diminished.

"Oh. Surely this is troublesome. Orientation magnets are also useless. If you're going to drive yourself crazy to the senses... you won't know where you are in the woods"

Nodding at Rosemary's words.

You won't be able to follow the survey, and if you try to go ahead with the rationalization, the dimension is that you are confused by the perception and taken out.

We immediately realized that it was from the sky that we could see far away and not lose sight of our position.

It also has to do with the speed at which the Sirius is proceeding and the number of personnel.

After suddenly becoming more uncomfortable, because of the large number of people, there was even a personal difference in the influence of the junction, and on the contrary, a hand note appeared that I was confusing this perception.

If you thought this was in the woods, you wouldn't even know what was going on if you were to proceed while exploring.

How did the group of adventurers in the matter get to the back?

For example... check the position of the stars to see the direction? Either way, you can't move toward the middle of the forest unless you realize the perception is confusing.

If I wanted to wander through the woods without knowing where to go, even though I might be wrong, it would definitely be a pretty spiritual burdensome search.

"What do we do?

Sheila asks.

"It's on schedule. Once straight through the forest like this, fly along the outer perimeter. I guess from making a map."

So many more things to write down on the map. In addition to driving azimuthal magnets crazy, the forest has widened the line of perception inhibition. Then it would be possible to further narrow down the scope of exploration by looking at roughly how far the boundaries of that junction range from. Ground exploration comes from that.

Explore the outer periphery on the Sirius to determine the size and shape of the forest. Create it as a map in a scale model.

Additionally, by creating a group that does not defend against perception inhibition with the blessing of the Moon Goddess, we will determine around which area we feel uncomfortable and around which, if plugged, the discomfort disappears, going back and forth over the forest.

As a result - I was able to determine the general scope of my exploration.

"I guess this is the place"

Say as you look at the 3D model.

"Good day, Master Theodore"

"Mm-hmm. Thanks"

Drinking the tea that Ashley brought us, we make a model that is even more inside the junction - expanding the scope of our exploration.

The range of the junction draws an ellipse...... some places around here have been determined by sensory reliance, so there will be no choice but to make errors.

The plan is to continue exploring the places that we think are definitely inside the junction in several blocks. Explore each block separately, crushing the mass, thus eliminating leakage and waste of search scope.

The Sirius stands by near the center of the exploration block. The dimension is that if you put the Knights of Enchantment on standby in the four corners of the block, and you wonder if you're lost, if you go out on the tree and check the Sirius, you'll know your approximate whereabouts from the positional relationship between the Sirius and the Knights.

"So shall we start near the center of the ellipse"

Will the expedition team take the form of party members and Princess Auria and Elkham?

The side waiting on the boat will mainly be the watchman. In such a way as to send reinforcements and rescues when the Knights at the reference point are attacked… that is to say, have them become front-line bases.

"I'm sorry, lords"

When Auria says as she descends, she makes her way down into the woods so that the branches can be scratched alone. He jumped straight into the empty space and descended to the ground.

Dark air characteristic of the forest. High humidity. The sounds of birds, bugs, and animals echo from somewhere. The vegetation, the state of the forest is of the rainforest. Can I say that?

... don't let that drain your health if you act for long periods of time without taking measures. Let's start by building a wall to protect yourself from insects, snakes, hills, etc. as well as maintaining a comfortable temperature and humidity.

"Thank you"

Princess Elkham comes to thank you.

"No."

Look around, doing magic to everyone. There appear to be many plants in the north that you will never see, such as cedars and palm trees.

I saw birds of extreme colour flying away. The ecosystem also seems to be different from the desert outside.

It should mean it's already behind the woods around here. I can't even see how people got their hands on it because it's out of the exploration range of adventurers... but deep in the bush, branches and leaves avoid it when Auria is there. Later, if we combine air travel, we're going to be able to explore without having to struggle with percentages.

"Good - go"

By flying the magically-mounted barrolls onto the trees and moving them with us, it is easier to understand each other's positional relationship between the ground and air teams.

"... there are so many animals. There you are."

Illumhilt, who was exploring ambient temperature differences, said. Wouldn't life sensing magic help either if it did. One-eyed glasses also seem to be over-informed because of the faint magic that covers the entire forest.

"Okay. It'll be hard to figure it all out, so you just have to be wary of anyone making any moves that might loom this way. Just... don't overstate your ability to detect because you don't know if the shadow in the rumor has temperature, smell, or sound."

Copy that.

"Okay."

"Yes."

Three people nod: Sheila, Illumhilt and Serafina.

"Then let's also explore the covenant spirits at a distance where we can see each other's position."

"Regards"

"I asked the spirits if they had ever seen any suspicious buildings, but lowly spirits get guidelines because they are thin. Think you can't expect information from anything other than a covenant spirit."

"It's helpful enough to avoid branch leaves for extensive detection."

"Hmm. I'm glad you said that."

and Auria broke up with each other.

So... shall we explore the jungle?
