Boundary Labyrinth and the Foreign Magician

Firstly, restrain the Tsubaki man with a light bind. Hmm. Is it okay to take this guy ashore? I'm also concerned about the mermaid girl's injury, and I'll just ask the two of them.

"Would you like a little?

And when he spoke, Weltes and the mermaid saw the man who was completely naked, and he had a flashy face.

"Uh..."

Speaking again, the two seem to have returned to me and waved for a little while before Weltes says.

"... no, not really. Thank you very much for your help."

"Thank you. I'm Rovisa. He's Weltes."

Apparently, the mermaid girl says Rovisa. She gets a thank you from the two of them and introduces herself, and this one also returns the introduction.

"My name is Theodor-Gartner, and I am the ambassador of the kingdom of Verdogal to the other world. She is Marl, the Spirit of Water."

"Spirit, king...?

When they heard of the Spirit King, the two turned their eyes round again. Marr turns a grin to those two, relaxing the tension. Put aside for a little while and the two thoughts that had stopped will restart.

"A little...... I'm convinced. Who is enough to receive the protection of the Spirit King?"

"But even though I'm under protection, I don't know how overwhelming that is... I didn't even imagine the land would take him down in the sea."

To the two words, Marl looks a little like he thinks.

"In my view... even without protection, it seemed like I could win without so much difficulty"

... Is that a story based on the experience of fighting with the Seven Wise Men?

"No. It was very easy to fight"

"Phew."

Marl laughs happily when he answers that.... Well, I can certainly ignore it when it comes to water resistance if you go into water bubbles and fight like you did in demonic waters, but there are some very easy places to do it for the folds that have been attacked by some kind of marl need to be repaired or maintained, etc.

If we get used to it a little, can we fight to make sure that scaffolding is secured with a shield, which is almost no different from shore?

Well. Weltes and Rovisa seem to be getting some peace back, too, so let's get back to business.

"I think if we go to the ship, we can also treat Mr. Rovisa's shoulder injury. As a matter of fact... I was hoping to hear from you because these mermaids have recently been sighted off the coast."

"That's... helpful. As I said earlier, there is also a decision that we should not be too deeply involved with those on land..."

Even so, Weltes appears to be more lost than earlier.

Hmm. There's no doubt that they're in trouble.

I feel like I know that the inhabitants of the sea don't really rely on those on land.

Because the majority of humans are powerless to fight in the sea when we talk about the situation. Conversely, with mermaids and half-fish people, if you go ashore, you can't fully exert your power.

There are only parts of us that are clearly divided and able to live apart from each other that have a weak reason to be in contention.

So where I made this Xu man lord, I'm willing to actively turn land against my enemies... at least not at the moment. I think that's why we don't make a scene on land.

"My position was mentioned earlier. If other friendly species are in crisis, it's like a job to help build a good relationship… I think there are some dukes on the ship that can help."

"Weltes. Wouldn't we... be able to stop them? If the inheritance is correct, they can eventually wreak havoc on shore."

To Rovisa's words, Weltes seemed to have a little idea, but eventually nodded.

"... If so, I was wondering if it would be best for you to meet the Queen"

The queen of mermaids? Maybe they're evacuating offshore.

"I want to talk to this Xu man after he wakes up too, so I want to cement him with dirt magic...... would it be okay to pull him up ashore?

With that said, the two blink.

"... although I don't think there's a problem. If the legacy is certain, they are the ones who have also launched attacks on shore. Otherwise, they're not strong enough to bounce back our weapons."

Indeed... the outer skin and flesh are tough on top of being fortified by the struggle.

Due to the nature of my attacks, such defenses were easy opponents because of the naivety of Tsugumo's technology on top of being completely negligible, but if we hit each other properly with fighting temper vs. fighting temper, it could be a troublesome opponent.

"If you're going to stiffen and choke with dirt magic, you'll be fine because I'll do something about it, won't you?

And, Marl tilts his neck. Hmm. Is that true, too? Okay, let me try to count on you.

That's Rovisa's treatment first. (10) Try to pack the man quickly and guide him to the Sirius.

Ashley's palms are lit with blurred light and her wounds are blocked. The look on Rovisa's face, who was only slightly in pain, also went at ease to match it.

"Is there any pain?

"Oh, thank you. That's an amazing healing magic. My wound's already blocked."

Ashley also smiles at Rovisa's returned happy look.

"Thank you overlapping. Duke of Verdogal to a mage under the protection of the Spirit King...... What are all these warcraft on a flying ship? It's not where my understanding reaches out at the earliest..."

Weltes looks around the bridge and meditates.

We have guided the two packed men to the Sirius and have just finished introducing each other and talking about the aforementioned backdrop while treating the wounds.

Well.

"I don't mind as much as I can talk to you, but can I ask you what's going on?

"Right. What do I tell you from"

Rovisa had a slightly troubled look on her face and seemed to sum up the words, but eventually began to speak quietly.

"We are the inhabitants of the sea - yes, the sea capital. For generations, the capital of the sea lived in peace thanks to the queen's reign. But one day, the queen was instructed by the people of the capital to flee the city. That's how we escaped to this sea."

"That's... why?

"It's under the capital, because the seal was about to be unsealed. The capital of the sea has a legend. Long ago - he said he appeared, driven by ambition, to proclaim the king of the sea. They formed an army and stormed around in the sea. Not even, I would say, tried to invade the ground. But… lured by the Queen of Time into a deep rift beneath the sea… trapped on the spot by a bond that betrayed the Queen's identity. And the chaos of the sea king was put away, and a tombstone was erected to mourn the queen... and the capital was made to cover the rift."

... a rip in the bottom of the sea. Is that, for example, like a trench? At the time, the queen pretended to be cornered, ready to self-destruct, so she scratched it out.

"But that their descendants lived in the trenches?

"No. They don't seem to be descendants. We found that the seal was about to be unsealed and an investigation was carried out urgently. According to the report, they survived a long seal by transforming their own flesh like stone with the power of the king."

I see...... Are you saying that there is a direct reason to resent those who live in the capital of the sea?

"Many decayed over the years, and they never had many stone statues...... Those who survived only that were tough and vicious. They have already sacrificed themselves by attacking those who came to investigate."

"... the man is a subordinate of those who call himself the king of the sea."

"Probably. For accumulating resentment over the years, they say it's getting stronger"

Rovisa closes her eyes and continues as Weltes takes over the words.

"Once the seal was lifted, it was pointed out that the evil accumulated over the years could be released throughout the capital. Even our decision to abandon the capital was a bitter one... if the irrevocable negative effects are to be felt on the young and those who will be born, there is no choice. We sought refuge in the nearby seas, and we wanted to gather our strength from those scattered all over them."

Demons - can be made ferocious by the magical environment of childhood. The inhabitants of the sea knew that.

Even if it's the seal of the Alliance, Sylvatria regularly drains gas through the King's ritual.

In the case of the capital of the sea, it was sealed by the queen of mermaids, so there was no process because I thought it was over.

And he said he had left the capital before the seal could be lifted, rallied his forces and set up an interception posture. The growing number of sightings of mermaids and half-fish people would have been in the process.

So, is he a reconnaissance? He said he would take him to the Lord... maybe he grabbed Rovisa for example and tried to find out where the queen is.

Who denounces the king of the sea, and his remnant? It sounds like a good idea to deal with it before it gets bigger...... well.
