Boundary Labyrinth and the Foreign Magician

By taking the road east and going south from there, we first made our way back to Vinesdora, the capital of King Silvatoria.

The day of the showdown isn't that far away, and we have to work out measures based on the information we've got.

Against that background, I can't stay very long when it comes to my way home, so I'll stop by to let you know that I'm safe, though it's going to be about that.

"If you speak of greed, you wanted to make continuous infiltration and even get information about the structure of the castle, the opponent's operation, etc."

Tilt the teacup, drank the contents and then said so, Old Siegmund grinned bitterly.

"No, no. From a situation where I didn't know anything and I had to guess, I knew this was all, and there was no loss of personnel. It's a good achievement."

Hmm. Some tips on the abilities of the high-ranking demons, the size and type of enemies, and the Beriondora that turned them into a moving fortress. Will it be something to report around here?

"Right. You may have been infiltrated by a demon... but it's also possible that you'll come up with a hand later that will circulate false information or something when you discover us. We can also say that being blocked before that, on the contrary, is no longer confusing."

And Rosemary said. Right. If you think there are some intertwined hands like that, you can say that there are some aspects of communication from the Seeker that were, on the contrary, lucky to have been interrupted at that point.

That's not even limited to seekers. Even when you move Cadkeus to intelligence, you have to be aware of false information.

Claudia snorts at the words, too.

"So even if the Seekers can move later, they need to be suspicious of what they're talking about."

"Assuming the communication status improves at a distance, it may serve to detect Bellion Dora's proximity... and we'll just have to move while being careful not to get caught up in enemy tactics"

Can we only be satisfied where the minimum information has been obtained first? If I knew I had predictive abilities of that nature, I would have been able to gather a little more information by supposing that hands such as power reconnaissance or sabotage could not be placed in the accounts from the outset... well, is that also a theory of results?

"Would you like a cup of tea?

Thinking so much about it, Grace suggested another cup of tea for the empty teacup.

"Thanks. Okay, one more drink."

When I answer that, Grace quietly smiles at me.

"I also baked sweets"

And, just in time, Ashley and Mallane brought me a smile and freshly baked confectionery in a bowl.

"Mm-hmm. I think I'll take that one too."

"Yes, go ahead"

Grab a fragrant baked sweet while listening to the lute played by Illumhilt and pour in the tea. Comfort people by gently stroking Belius and the Alphas on Lindblum, Lavine and Corliss who came nearby to make their thoughts positive.

Mm-hmm. It's an animal group that's getting into the bridge for some reason. Although it is slightly narrow, I may not have had time to accommodate it from somewhere else when I fled. Well, I don't mind.

"Though I've gotten around to it a lot this time. The training we've all done shouldn't be in vain."

"Right. The Knights of the Demonic Knights are trained, and the day of the showdown is winter."

"Exercise is preparation and never betrays. I'm just saying it didn't fit the criteria a bit this time."

Considering the feelings of the Knights of the Apocalypse, the Princesses of Stephania are having such a conversation. Oh yeah. You see it's a floating castle. It's Vallos, so that morale doesn't happen or something.

You have the impression that you know what it's like to be a general in a boulder. The Demon Knights were quietly nodding to the words of the Princesses of Stephania.

"Well, I'll see you in training when I get home."

"Right. When Lord Theodore rushed for us, there was something that shook my heart."

Weltes, who was monitoring his surroundings with monitors to Elliot's words, replied, and the other knights were nodding with a temperamental look. Hmm. Sounds like there won't be a drop in morale when it comes to the Knights of the Exorcism.

"So... try to fight, what was your impression?

And, Forceto asks with a serious face.

"Strong...... right? That ability is also dangerous, because his body surgery itself is considerable. Without Halvaronis' preliminary knowledge of martial arts, it would have been harder to do such a soft move."

Tell me honestly what you feel. Strength, yes. Among the information obtained, the bright information is that the way he thinks and his personality is a little easier to understand.

"Conversely, I gained the certainty that I would not do anything extra. Because you want to avoid the drain of your power, and you're thinking about the aftermath of winning, you won't imitate things like burning the city with your play, or attacking people with a bellion dollar after you wanted to pass by. They're going to give you as much power as you need where you need it."

Speaking of demonic groups, it is not reassuring to say that if we are in control. No, I don't think it's the same as reassuring that the enemy is in control.

It's ironic, but maybe there's something about Gardinis and the rest of them getting more tied up.

"Yes... I guess so. That's why I was saddened to say that even if we could talk, we couldn't persuade them to stay with us."

When Forceto says so or waves, he looks up with a resolute look on his face. Forceto grinned at the worried Scion and then looked at this one and said:

"It's this dialogue that we don't waste our sacrifices. Everyone's thoughts are with us. Now it's time to stop Vallos"

Right. That is only the foundation of the fortitude of Vallos' will, and it is nothing like disturbing Forceto's ideas.

"We'll do our best."

"Good, Master Forceto"

"If that's the case, I'll paint what I saw today..."

The Scion and the others also seemed relieved that Forceto smiled. Sigritta's paintings are useful in many ways. You know the face of the person.

But...... don't stop to not waste the lives you took, huh?

He had more empathy with the allies who went out than with the people of Halvaronis who stayed at the bottom of the earth. On top of that, he had a negative eye for bad governance and confusion in the Bahárzad kingdom at the time, it seems.

I get stopped for something I don't know, and I think about going out and doing something because I have the power. There may be similarities in that regard. Did you solicit me because of that background?

If I knew the magic cycle, I'd realize I was something from the people of the Moon. For him, how much does he remember his compatriot consciousness...? Even if you don't, you're also looking at coexistence with humans.

But for me, it's an annoying point of view.

You think it is the coexistence of demons and humans through the recruitment of food for sinners, to the refuge of the exchangers, the weak, by the immortal demons that he would think? Those thoughts... I can't shake my neck vertically, even if I can understand without my personal emotions.

The same goes for those around him who will be sacrificed, as well as his imaginary immortal exchanger... who cannot remain immutable to his heart. Any day will be broke.

When I hear Claudia's thoughts and look at the demons I've fought... I think so.

"You think you can beat him?

"It's..."

Think of the old Siegmund question. I think about it, but I don't get an answer. But that doesn't mean I don't see a winnable vision.

"- I don't know. I'm not the kind of person you can confidently say you can win, but that's why I'm not going to lose."

If we're going to talk about winning, it's going to be either way. Whatever the advantages and disadvantages.

In the meantime, will it be the policy in the future to devise measures with reference to what we have found out this time?
