Boundary Labyrinth and the Foreign Magician

It was not until we revealed the night in a promising snowfield that we returned to Vinesdora, the capital of King Silvatoria.

It also means camping overnight to see how the enemy is being tracked. I was concerned about tracking, but still, this hand will exceed my expectations, so I'll keep an eye out for suspicious movements and see what I can see through.

I couldn't discover anything as a result, but I have to stop by King Eberberbert and the elders of the Sage's Scholastic Union, so it's also bad to go back to Silvatoria in a forcible army and make noise late at night or early in the morning on the Sirius.

Well, since the power is warm and there is no drain on the team, we can also monitor the tracking.

We had time during the night, so we prepared a report to hand over to Silvatoria, and we were in shape.

That's why... when we arrived in Vinesdora, King Eberberbert and the elders came to the square where they anchored the Sirius, words of celebration and labor for a safe return, and more than when we arrived the other day, the elders mocked us and welcomed us.

I have a report, so I will move the location to the Royal Castle VIP room as soon as possible and talk about the content of this investigation.

"- So the golems we sent in were forced to act because of Mustra's manipulation... or because of their temper properties. In view of the abilities of the chief, Vallos, and his deputy, Zaradi, we have decided that it is difficult to continue the investigation and withdraw."

King Eberberbert and the elders had listened quietly to my report, but when I finished the conversation, I opened my eyes and said:

"The investigation of the demons' strongholds - even though I knew it was necessary, I really spread my imagination in a bad direction. As for the outcome, it would seem that dissatisfaction would remain for that, but given that nothing was known, it could be called an achievement that was too much. In particular, the return of none of those men without a shortage would be such a wonderful result. It's a pleasure."

"Thank you"

Give a compliment to King Evelbert. King Eberberberbert has smiled back at me, but he has a serious look on his face. The joy of return and reunion tightens the air that was relaxed.

"A bunch of demons in a flying castle...... More demons, huh? It's a long way to go."

"Three high-ranking demons just confirmed by that, what. You seem to have troublesome abilities."

One of the elders, Emile, floats a tannic surface as she looks at the paper.

Arranged on the table are the paintings that Sigritta painted for me. The black shadow of Bellion Dora floating in the sky. And the appearance of the demons around the castle. And the sketches of Vallos, Zaradi and Mustra -. It's a Sigritta painting, but it's usually written, so it has no magical effect. But it's a pretty precise portrayal.

Especially with regard to the high-ranking demon, his ability also writes supplements on paper in the form of speculation from me.

"Vallos is nothing compared to the demons that have been confirmed so far. And this old demon named Zaradi is also... strong in a different way. Wouldn't it be difficult to prepare measures to see through vaguely that there are measures?

"We're holding back the bills that they really need. I was wondering if I could set it up here for once. Even if it's me after that, I'm vaguely thinking of measures. I don't know if it's gonna work."

If the beads are necessary to them, we must get on this hand, even if we know it. Or are they thinking that the measures of bead entanglement are something beyond that as well?

But that's why they should have to move, too.

"Hmm. I'm glad I was on your side. It's very reliable."

King Eberberberbert nods as impressed by my response.

"As for Mustra... I'm not sure. I don't even know if it's a technique or a temper trait."

It can also be seen as a form of junctionism. Too bad I couldn't get the black building materials back.

"Well, if you can say one thing, for example, when you dare to enter the castle itself, it seems likely that with Mustra inside, the danger will jump."

"That's for sure"

King Eberberberbert conceives with his hands on his chin. I'll give you a supplement on their future moves.

"They want to keep their power warm before the showdown in Termwilds. It seems unlikely that an aggressive attack will be launched on the Knights of Magic or Sylvatoria, who possesses a high level of magic skill… pay close attention to the Floating Castle alone"

"I understand. Let's not lose sight of this one either. There will be a difference between the heavens and the earth just because the generals can make up their minds with preliminary knowledge."

King Eberberbert nodded, then told him to add words.

"One more thing. The owners of the Seven Houses want to talk to Theodore."

"Yes, what is it"

Nod and turn back to the elders.

"Mm-hmm. Actually. Before the investigation report, I didn't tell him whether to mix in uncertain elements, but recently I dug out these sorcery books from the forbidden library."

And the elders gently put the ancient documents on their desks that they could clearly tell were old of the times, and gave them to me.

It even has notes for decryption, autographed by the elders. Roll the page carefully to avoid damaging the book and look through the contents.

"This is-"

"It's from a pretty old time. Apparently, it's about research into the magic cycle. At the time, the surgeon seemed to exist, so I thought Theodore might be of some help to you."

"It is difficult for us to understand the story of the sensory part when we cannot carry out the magical circulation. But I'm hoping that there are no other parts of you that would understand."

"I see..."

Are we talking about the study of the magic cycle and its application?

Indeed, there is a good chance that there are descriptions of techniques and applications that I do not know, or content that leads to new application tips.

If you look at the elders, it's a book with parts that you don't really know about. I can also snort the reason that I couldn't tell you before the delicate operation.

I can't just laugh at possible stories like being cornered and suddenly doing unfamiliar things to get behind my back. Then it's a bet, not an operation. I guess that means not this one, but the magic props of the ring that match the operation, in order to have a steady effect.

But now we still have time. Time for practice and trial and error based on what you've read.

"We only want one thing. I want you to take it back to Verdogal and proceed with the decryption."

This too... would have been a treat such as a secret book that would have gone out of the door for a sage academic league.

What this book means is enormous, only to the Scholastic Union, which was eager to deal with an operator who could handle the magic circulation. Deposit it, too.

So I answered quietly and graciously.

"Thank you. I'll take care of it responsibly. If you have an unknown discovery about the magic circulation, I will submit it to the Academic Federation as a report."

"Ha ha. I'm glad you said that, and I'd like to welcome you with my hands up. You'll be busy too, so I don't mind that kind of chore later. First, give priority to convenience for you."

And Emile laughed delightfully.

Though I thought I was just stopping by for a report.

At the moment, the contents of the ancient documents are unknown... but you've got a lot of good goals. My personal training and research will be wide-ranging.

Finish your report at the Royal Castle and return to the Sirius. As soon as the report was finished, it was in the form of a departure, so the face of the Knights of the Exorcism also waited without descending from the ship.

When King Eberberbert and his elders appear directly in the square to drop him off, the Knights of the Exorcism salute him.

"I'm home."

"Welcome home."

"Welcome home, Theodore"

And everyone waiting on the boat smiles.

"I've been reporting it. We're going to be able to borrow old documents about the magic circulation from the Legion of Learning."

"That's... thank you."

Grace smiled happily as she did when she heard it.

Mm-hmm. Right. Because of the trust and affection of the elders.

So... we greeted King Eberberberbert and the elders who came to see us off, and that's how we followed Vinesdora as she waved from the deck.
