Boundary Labyrinth and the Foreign Magician

577 Infiltration into Abandoned Capitals

"That castle - it looks like it was probably repaired at the hands of the demons. I don't see any damage to the castle, but the exterior walls around the capital seem to have been destroyed and untouched, and that's probably the building material that was used for the original castle."

"... apparently so"

When I said it, I shook Old Siegmund.

The outer walls that should have surrounded and protected the capital of Belliondola - once surrounded and protected - had been crumbled everywhere to tell the story of the intensity of the battle against the demons, covered in snow and overthrown.

Everywhere, white stone peeks from the gap between snow and ice, so it is possible that similar stone was used in the castle.

It slows down the Sirius, but packs the twists and distances. I just want to pack up some more time. Using the monitor's telemetry to observe from the outside, the distance is slightly too wide.

"Is there any magic hanging around the castle? You're melting snow."

Grace said.

"True. Water magic or fire magic."

The snow melts and the remains and debris of the former capital give a peek.

To see the snow and ice being removed circularly from the castle grounds from its surroundings, it is clear that there is a technique in place to keep the temperature.

"Mm-hmm. Something - lots of it."

Sheila turned on the monitor and leaked a voice with a mixed color of vigilance.

I can see it according to the distance clogging. Life Direction also reacts to see if it was captured in range. Several points of life response flashed around the castle.

A shadow that flies around the city's boulevard leading to the castle, around the castle, and around the black spire.

A demon. A demon similar to a Lizardman born with a hard scale, called Armor Lizard.

I hear he has a belligerent, agile, robust body... but he's such a demon he can't be in the north. They are marching down the streets of the city of snowmelted debris. I don't know if it's security or training.

That's not all. It is the Grand Troll with a stick that is progressing around the castle. Dancing around the spire is a squid shaped demon called Shadow Raven.

Various other demons were deployed in and around the castle. He's inside the castle, too, a little legion, I suppose.

But those people are not demons who are adapting to the cold. Given that it's not even a race of personalities who can plant moves like that that to guard them in the first place...

"I wonder if the legacy of the people of the Moon... creates and controls these people. But assuming it's deployed in the castle at that rate, the combination of quality and size is better than I predicted."

It wasn't like the magic that the labyrinth gathers, so we were talking about limited resources.

The combination of size and quality is indescribable to me, but it's going to be above Claudia's predictive range.

Big Occurrence…? Could we also create a herd just called that within the BFO if we lower the quality of the demons?

Maybe there's something else going on.

"There are certain things that don't look like enemy bills... but if I could say it now, I wonder if that's in that it's not a demon for security. It's not the right place, so you should see it as a soldier to attack."

When Rosemary closes the feather fan and affirms so, Ashley tilts her neck.

"Is it also for the demons who are melting the snow around the castle and preparing the environment?"

"I bet you have that, too."

"Then you're looking to fight Verdogal."

Rosemary nodded at Ashley's words, Elliot said. Yeah, I guess so. That demon is for attack. Keeping the snow melted would be to keep it waiting until when you need it.

"What you can tell from the outside is that this is the place"

"No. I still want to make sure. I thought I'd show you that castle directly from the deck."

That said, I'm leaving the bridge and heading to deck. Everyone followed suit.

Use light magic to create telephoto lenses, and see Black Castle with monoculars, not over the monitor.

And - I could confirm one thing that bothered me. That black building material...... they're still not decent stuff.

"The black building materials themselves are strangely magical. Because of this, the castle itself is covered with magic, unable to foresee the interior with life instruction"

It would have been easier if I had foreseen an internal life response. I thought it was strange because I could no longer see the reaction of the demon hidden in the shadow of the castle.

"It's a pain in the ass..."

Princess Stephania frowned.

"It's not all bad. Yeah, places covered in dark magic make it pretty hard to detect in magic streams. In short, sending in a Seeker greatly reduces the fear that it will be detected by magic reactions."

The effect time is limited by the cover-up of Halvaronis. If you can send in the Seeker without it, it will increase the amount of time you can infiltrate and make it harder to discover.

"Claudia. What else can you tell from the outside?

"At the moment... you can't say anything."

Claudia closes her eyes.

Right, right. The information obtained thus far may be communicated to Verdogal, etc., by means of a communication machine.

"As planned, I guess."

Princess Adriana asks.

"Yes, we'll send in the comms as planned, then proceed from the basement and send in the Seeker"

"- What do you think?

When Princess Elkham puts a bracelet on Corliss' arm that machined the ring the elders gave him, the magic stone on the pedestal dwells a blurry, purple light. It's the same reaction we put on the ring.

"Apparently, you're okay."

It is processed by stretching the ring part and further reinforcing it. It is also sturdy and spare because it is protected by the magic of structural strengthening. It's a magic trick for Corliss.

Well. It's me and the usual party members going forward through the basement, plus Corliss. Princess Stephania for communicating with Corliss, which means To see the movement on the side of the Sirius, it leaves Cadkeus.

The Demon Knights are basically backwards because they don't have enough rings. Forceto, have Scion and the others refrain from going backwards. Forceto has the role of maintaining cover-up, and the Scions have a sharp sense of five, so they'll let you know if there's any strange movement on the ground.

Have Alpha wait in the back. I have trouble getting the Sirius to stand by.

"If you see signs on the ground that you've been detected moving, do a positive move."

And, Elliot will confirm the operation.

"Yes, thank you"

When I say Yang Dynasty, it is not for belligerent purposes. The Sirius and the Demon Knights just show themselves. In that case, he has set up an operation to unleash great magic from the ground such as being an enemy caught in a positive motion or that castle, carry out a sabotage operation, and then immediately withdraw.

At least they don't really think about fixing the exterior wall itself. Life, magic, nothing together.

Move the Sirius into hiding in the shadow of the northern outer wall, from where he descends into the land of Belliondola, with everyone who joins the proximity mission.

I'll lift the snow and ice with water magic, and Corliss will dig the ground from there. I use my claws on both hands to remove the soil like tofu.

The dirt I dug back was covered with snow using water magic by Elmer of the Knights of the Summons, which kept me unobtrusive.

"Okay, I'll be there"

"Uh-huh. Be careful."

"We'll do our best, Master Theodore."

Back support dropped us off the deck, and we follow Corliss. Fly magical lights to secure vision in the dark.

Using earthly magic, Corliss sends the dirt he digs into behind us and moves forward as he stiffens the ceiling area to avoid collapsing. It's the depth that made room for us not to be detected on the ground.

No sound or vibration. Serafina is turning it off for me. It's very quiet because of that. Everyone, too, out of tension or to not be perceived? Seems to be as quiet as possible.

Corliss said...... he sometimes made his nose snap and seemed to progress with perimeter vigilance. There is certainly no denying the possibility of demons in the earth or the security of demons with special abilities. In that case, there's only one way to place the Seeker so he doesn't understand and retreat.

Nothing in particular has changed the vision of Cadkeus's side either. There is no particular change in the castle of Belliondola, which looks like a monitor, or in the monsters on patrol. Behind the Sirius - I don't see any enemy shadows around either. The members of the Knights of the Torment keep a close eye on each monitor to be seen.

It deforms Cadkeus into a peripheral topographic map, reflecting our current position as we move forward, and makes it easier for everyone who watches in solitary spit on the bridge to understand what's going on. That's how - we reached the immediate vicinity of the castle in tension.

Seeker One.

"Okay."

Claudia, Mallane and Princess Stephania are the ones holding the three Seekers. As Claudia implanted the Seeker in the soil in the ceiling section, she made sure to soil and dive into the ground... and proceeded towards the ground section. I said that we can simulate surrounding soil and stones, but the Seekers can also travel in ways that assimilate to the surface. Naturally, if the building material is stone, we can travel while diving in there too... what about that castle?

The interior is also very troublesome when that black building material is used.

Tell that to the bridge side too. Princess Adriana's manipulative Seeker One monitor was activated - only a few of the Seekers were seen on the ground, showing their faces.

Now. I just want to keep going and send Seekers 2 and 3 directly into the castle. Corliss will dig further.

That's when I thought I'd plug it right under the castle. Corliss is lowering a little and shaking his fingertips gently. I'm not waving, I accidentally hit something and it hurt, that kind of reaction.

"I think I hit something hard. There seems to be something you can't dig."

Princess Stephania said. I can't dig, it's something.

Face to face with everyone.

"Corliss. I was wondering if you could take the lead."

With that said, Corliss nodded and gave way to the lead.

Soil magic, removing the frontal soil in a wide area. And what emerged from underneath...

"This is..."

It's a dark silver metal with a smooth texture. It's not like a black castle on the ground again.

An occasional line of green glowing magic runs on the surface of an unidentified metal.

"... nothing but bad predictions."

Claudia waves her wearing abominably. And I said.

"This is one of the moon's ships, though it's not as big as the labyrinth."
