Boundary Labyrinth and the Foreign Magician

Later, after going to the Sage's Academic Union, he asked me to show him the magic props, etc., so the story with the elders first came to a close.

"Ooh. Don't really eat the ore..."

"Hmm. Interesting ecology."

As elders, I'm still getting interested in rare things, or I'm feeding Corliss with a serious face to it. Another elder looked at our magic props and talked to Alfred and the others a lot of technical stuff... and he showed some magician-like curiosity.

Charlotte also enjoys spending time with Grace and Ashley brushing and feeding Alpha, Lavine and Belius. Well... you seem to enjoy it.

Beside it, I also spend time feeding and magic to Lindblum, Cadkeus and Valor. The relaxing time passes when Illumhilt plays a lute and Serafina sitting in the window frame sings a nose song as she puts her legs in motion.

Mallane and others are in a good mood because of Claudia and Penelope.

"- Sure, it's an inspiration because it leaves the young witches in Termwilds"

"Really? But those witches... they seem more worried than lonely. You're admired."

Claudia closes her eyes and answers Penelope with a gentle grin.

Young witches would mean witches as old as Mallane. There are many witch and cleric apprenticeships who enter and train in the temple from within the small. Claudia will somehow get that feeling, too.

Maybe the Term Wills witches worried about Penelope are praying to Claudia.

"Around this evening, call from me... and see if I can reassure you."

"That's... I was wondering if those kids would be happy."

Mallane snorts in the words of Penelope, who brightens his expression.

Could Claudia have sent a message to the faithful in the form of a divine trust? Is it good to stand on a dream pillow or something like that?

So time passed slowly...... Eventually when the sun was about to set, the woman with the face I saw came to the room to call us.

He was also the one who guided me through the royal castle when I first came to Silvatoria.

Princess Stephania and I should have known each other from the beginning. I remember him worrying that there was a connection between Marquis Gilbolt and Zadias, who had guided us, even though it was difficult to give a position warning or something.

"Supper is ready"

"Thank you. Mr. Carmela."

Nodding and answering, Carmela smiles calmly and gives a toast.

"Long time no see, Carmela"

"Yes, Your Highness Stephania"

Princess Stephania also spoke to me, smiling and responding.

Okay. Then let's try to get to our supper seats. So you get a welcome and then you go to the Sage's League of Scholars.

"Then I'll go. Leave a message."

When I said that, I answered so that the courtyard demons would nod. As for Corliss, he kept his hips down and responded with one hand up.

I feel Carmela's grin stiff for a moment with that in her eyes, but please, she'll be right back to show us around. Subsequently, as we proceeded along the corridor of the Royal Castle, we were still put through a large dance hall, which had come before.

Looks like the Knights of the Enchantment were already guided. It seems that some people took a bath, and some had damp hair and better blood color.

While we were having a slow chat with the elders, they seemed to be forgiving with them, too.

The table was lined with lavish dishes. The music played by the musicians in the hall was similar to that of the previous banquet at the Royal Castle of Vinesdora. That way they pass into the seats reserved for the balcony where they can see the hall.

"If you need anything, please call me."

When Carmela says so and thanks, she waits quietly on the edge of the balcony seat.

And there came kings Eberberbert and the heavy towns of Silvatoria, and nobles and knights, and magicians. The musicians change the songs they play, and the colloquial voices of those invited to the dance hall also calm down.

King Eberberberbert stood up when he saw it and nodded, echoing his voice into the dance hall.

"From Term Wills - no, I am delighted that we were able to welcome those brave men from the Alliance against Demons, from four countries, to this seat tonight. Well, it would also be new to my memory if that were the case that the demons' bouncing beams caused disturbance in our country first. Not only in our country, but in ancient times and now, if we follow the damage, we have no time to enumerate. It is also true that the demons of great power have turned to their opponents without any remaining power. But this is how we stood together."

Then king Eberberberbert cut off his words once, and looked over at the people that were lined up.

"The rest - I hope this dispatch of Demon Knights will lead to a counter-attack against the demons, not the defense. That's why we had this evening's feast, hoping for the success of our mission, our martial arts and our safety. To heal the fatigue of the warriors' journey, to energize them and to wield their full strength. Let's make them grand!

When King Eberberberbert said so, a great deal of cheer and applause arose from the Horsemen. The voice that honors King Eberberberbert's name and the Knights of the Apocalypse echoes the dance hall.

Not defense, but a hand that leads to counterattack, huh? Right. That's certainly what this Bellion Dora investigation is all about. It is true that it is difficult to give a detoured hand if you do not understand the full content of the opponent or the hand tag. Let's say we come in temper.

And dinner seats began. The musicians turn the music they play into something fun again. It's a busy seat for everyone to laugh at.

Because the purpose of the banquet seat is to entertain us and the Knights of the Apocalypse, there is no such thing as a greeting around the nobles. From the balcony seats, I have the impression that the warlords interact more with each other than with the nobles.

The food also looks handy, but the insistence is on spicy meat dishes, or something that seems to help. It's a dish made for martial arts officers, but when you're eating it, it gets hot from the inside of your body?

Well, they also seem to take care not to get all too heavy. Salad, fruit, everything is ready.

In the meantime, we should eat well here and prepare for tomorrow. Sheila and the others are enjoying a meal with knives and forks in their hands.

And the table of supper was going to be busy.

Eventually dinner was over and we headed to the Sage's League of Scholars. Elliott and the Demon Knights are staying at the Royal Castle today. The demons - they come to the Academic League in a way that accompanies us.

"It's been a long time since we've had a scholarship."

"Oh. You like the atmosphere here in the garden a lot."

Nodding at Grace's words. In Valentina's story, did her mother also like this slightly wooded courtyard?

Looking at the courtyard on the premises of the snow-covered Academic Union, as we proceeded along the sidewalk illuminated by the magical lights, we reached the entrance to the large tower.

Following old Siegmund, he is put through to the Great Library of the Scholastic Union. That the bookcases are sloppily lined up on the inner walls so as to pierce the tower...... as spectacular a sight as ever.

I don't hate living surrounded by books like this...... % of the time. When I was a little girl, I borrowed books from my father's study to read and fish.

"It's good here. If you have time, I'd like to stay longer."

And, Rosemary groans as she looks up at the bookcase. Well... Rosemary seemed to be studying a lot in the Royal Castle's hidden library too.

"I'm sorry you're messing around. I've been fishing for literature."

And says Emile, Charlotte's father. He was right. There was a stack of various ancient documents on the table.

Books about Bellion Dora and Demons. Or research on the demons, etc.

"No. I'm guessing the books here belong to demon relations."

"It helps that you understand. So let's get down to business."

Emile smiled bitterly, but got a serious look.

Yes. We talked during the day, but they said they have no technique and no magic equipment to assist with the operation.

The elders bring a small ring.

"What's this?

"Hmm. This is what we've been studying for generations as a way to combat demons. Those people feed on people's emotions. And they perceive the sneakers, and they find emotional swings in the battlefield, and they follow them."

"Indeed."

However, even if they say they can sense the emotions that flow into them, they just somehow know, they don't seem to be able to detect until their exact location, and I guess emotional movements alone don't tell exactly what they're thinking.

Well, even if you can sense that there are people who come to you with hostility and fear, unintentional strikes are harder to work with, and the very fact that you're hiding is revealed.

That's why they don't detect emotions, that's why it's an operation to send the golem in.

"He who is relative to the devil must confront himself with a passion that anoints his fine emotional movements, or he must always stir himself up by courage and remain calm, even in battle. Otherwise, we are told in the Seven Houses that we will be frightened, chronic and alarmed."

"Mm-hmm. Theodore, the one who smears?

"Uh. Maybe so."

Answer Sheila tilting her neck, smiling bitterly.

"So Lord Theodore's golem - I was impressed with the maneuver to use the Seeker. Surely that would work. Turning back… this ring has the effect of blocking the transmission of emotions to the demons."

"There's not only one ring, there's a place to make it. Please take everything."

I see...... It would also be a countermeasure when fighting demons, and if we were to manpower an infiltration into an abandoned castle in Belliondola, it would be enough to say it was a must.

If there's a number, I'd like to deploy it to all the personnel out front. With this ring...... it would also widen the range of maneuvers against demons. That said, although it would be easy this time to position it as an auxiliary to the operation without being forced.

"Thank you. I will use it with care."

So he bowed his head, and the elders grinned and nodded.
