Boundary Labyrinth and the Foreign Magician

"Sure, Tefra seems to be a strong spirit. And the pure power that gathers here... you're admired by the people."

As he stepped out of the carriage, Marr gave a slightly surprised look.

"Yeah. Tefra is sweet and I like it"

And, with the flying serafina on his shoulder, he smiles at each other with pleasure.

It uses the time waiting for assessment in the Adventurer's Guild and travel time to this point against Marr, explaining to some extent the tehra and ritual venue.

Ritual venues are good if you invite spirits, but I thought it would be easy to attach mutual recognition in advance because I wondered if there would ever be rebellion between high-ranking spirits.

According to Marr, there would be no problem if we didn't behave disrespectfully towards each other. I also asked Tefra by telecom, "No problem. Welcome".

In the first place, it seems rarely that ordinary spirits rebel strongly against each other, so maybe my concern was also worrying. In the first place, Tefra is a volcanic spirit, which has two properties: fire and earth. It shouldn't be a bad affinity with water either.

Well, make it seem comfortable for the spirits that were gathering around the Moonlight Temple.

... and Tefra broke his rapport by letting him peek into his face from the altar behind the ceremony.

"Oh, are you here?"

That's what I'm saying. I'm coming this way. Marl smiled when he saw Tefra.

"Nice to meet you, Tefra"

"Oh, Marl. Theodore told me."

As Marl put his hand forward in search of a handshake, Tefra took that hand with a pleasant grin after blinking her eyes.

"Deepening friendship just like people is fun inside."

"Sure. I've been with Theodore and the others a lot lately, but it's fun to do the same."

and two high-ranking spirits who smile at each other for intimacy.

"No. You feel more powerful just being here."

Pietro seems to be in a good mood.

If you look at Serafina and Pietro with one glance, it seems to be somehow full of magic. The influence of being near Tefra and Mar? The movements of spirits and fairies around them are also active.

Though he is once the Spirit King, is there not much of a difference in identity? Serafina also looks cheap with Tefra and Marr, and it's a breeze that doesn't care over there either. Well... the category of Spirit King would be a human made line draw.

Although Pietro, originally a cat, seems a little different from the normal spirits and aspires to be the king of the cats.

A carriage came to the ceremony hall just after Tefra and Marr greeted him safely.

"Oh, Theodore"

"No injuries, most importantly."

"Yes, I'm back from the labyrinth right now"

Say hello to Old Siegmund and Valentina who came out of the carriage.

Welcome home, Doctor.

And, Charlotte.

"Oh. I'm home."

The Siegmund old men have been working mainly on anti-demon research in the form of coming and going between my house and the workshop over here since returning from Bahalzad. We are conducting various studies based on the magic technology of Halvaronis from Forceto and his allies.

Charlotte is a currently sealed witch, so she needs to be listened to closely about the spirit tree.

Later...... oh here I come. It's a dragon cage in Royal Castle with a Knights escort.

A dragon cage descends on the ground and King Melvin and Prince Josiah show up from the inside.

"It was daunting, Theodore. Looks like you're back safe."

"Thank you"

The royal family is also closely related to the re-sealing of the Temple of Moonlight. When the Spirit King shows up, King Melvin has to go himself.

And the Knights are not the only ones escorting King Melvin. Corliss has also been accompanied by escorts, apparently. Naturally Princess Stefania and Princess Adriana, then... Princess Elkham is with them. Sylvatria and Bahalzad, the names of their respective kings.

"Hello, Theodore"

"Yes, Your Highness Stephania"

Welcome the royal faces that have come.

Princess Elkham was going to Marr's and breaking her knee to say hello.

"I'll see you first, Master Marr. My name is Elkham-Bahalzad. As a people living in the plains and deserts of the South, we offer our daily gratitude to Lord Marr for his grace"

"Hehe, thanks, Elkham"

Marr gives Princess Elkham an unrelenting grin. Princess Elkham seems a little surprised by the friendliness of the Spirit King. The spirits have many bright personalities, but Marl is no exception.

Now, let me introduce you to the face of the first encounter and let me talk about what I found out and the speculation from it, such as about the spiritual tree inside the Temple of Moonlight.

"... I see. What is a spirit tree?"

King Melvin nodded quietly as he moved to the accommodation next to the ritual hall, where he told him what he had spoken to Marr earlier over a cup of tea.

"So the teacher has the same plants planted in Bellion Dora."

Charlotte says.

"Yeah. I don't know what's been going on since I fell into the hands of the demons... even if it's been destroyed, I might have attached a calculator to get it back on track"

Answering that, Charlotte was doing her hand around her chest, closing her eyes and nodding.

Yes, it is assumed that the speculation that the spiritual tree is also planted in Belliondola is correct... but it becomes the role of the sealed witch to protect the place with contract magic.

Generations of witches had lost the original meaning of that ritual, but only in terms of using the ritual to protect it did not change. Succeeded the sealed witch, what Charlotte aspires to is all there.

"But after it leaves Vallos and the others, does that mean?"

"Right. The Spirit Kings' seal will be temporarily unsealed and they will set it up over there as well... If you're keeping your power warm in Belliondola, I was wondering if it would be a good idea to sharpen it as much as you can and then beat it directly"

I often hear that it is easier to protect than attack... but it is less advantageous to intercept if you don't know the opponent's fighting power. Rosemary and I talked about that before, but King Melvin and King Eberberberbert seem to agree with that.

I'm sure Vallos and the others will attack us, but at the same time, it's a chance for us to estimate our opponent's power and cut it.

"Hmm. Is the antidemon thing going on?

King Melvin asks, Old Siegmund floats the tannic side.

"You can prepare demon props that utilize the blessings of the Moon Goddess, but demon props alone can't contain the power of the high-ranking demon. We are also in the process of developing a magic prop that assumes that the seal will be unsealed due to the discovery of the properties of the Alliance Lord… whether it works for the Alliance Lord or not will be bumped into production. Even if you use it, you will need as much strength as you can to defeat your allies."

Demonic props assuming you are in battle with your Alliance Lord. In other words... it incorporates contract magic and sealing in a demonic stone that has the same magical properties as Durahan. If you defeat the Alliance Lord in a duel, you may seal and destroy the properties of your soul...

But if you lose a duel, it's a somewhat risky magic trick because it has the same side effects on the user. It reinforces the technique by taking risks as contract magic.

Well...... if you duel and defeat a high-ranking demon opponent, you will most likely be dead, and if you say the risks are the same, so be it.

It is only a measure of the next good, including all of them, and it should basically work bearing in mind that we will not let the seal be unsealed.

However, it is comforting to know that there is insurance in case of need.

Starting with King Melvin, Prince Josiah, and Old Siegmund, not a very good look...... I know what you're thinking. I guess it's hard to get me to stand on the arrow.

"Now, I hope you will continue to handle the high-ranking demon."

"... I'm sorry. Until the time of the showdown, we will do everything we can to support you."

"Neither do I. I don't think it's worthwhile for me to be a king prince, but I can't help you... but I want you to say anything that might help me."

"Thank you"

King Melvin and Prince Josiah nod quietly in my response. Siegmund, make it old or Valentina...... obviously you care, so I decided to change the subject a little.

"With that said, it's time for the Duke of Driscoll to return to his territory."

"Mm-hmm. You were talking about sending the Duke to the territory. The sea to the west is a scenic place."

"Right. I'm looking forward to it. I thought I'd take a look at the island."

When I say that and smile, King Melvin snorts with a small grin to match me, although he seems a little lonely.

"Mmm. May I accompany you to that, too? I need to know a little more about what's going on and talk to the other three... because it seems to be Theodore that matters"

And it was Marr who said so.

"I don't mind."

I looked at King Melvin for a moment...... then turned to Marr and nodded, she had an uncontrolled grin.
