Boundary Labyrinth and the Foreign Magician

"Oh, Lord Theodore."

After being contacted by a telecom, they head to the Royal Castle, where they are picked up by a female officer.

There awaited King Melvin and Prince Josiah, Knights Chief Mildred, Old Ricard, and Derek the Magic Inquisitor.

"This is all of you."

"Hmm. Are you back?"

In a token, King Melvin answers.

"Yes, the transfer of the beads has been completed without delay. I have the impression that I have been calm since then about the beads. No problem placing it in the sealing tower."

Report briefly to King Melvin on the current situation. Let's start with the assignment as planned. Then the Spirit's surveillance network was widened. About by-products?

"With regard to the proposed expansion of the surveillance network with the help of the spirits, as we reported on the comms, there is also a situation in which the gathering of more spirits than expected gathers clean power around the fort. Except for one thing about Veristio, there's no big problem."

"Veristio consciousness...... I woke up with all those seals, and I didn't even know I was exchanging words."

King Melvin said so and looked like he had put his arms around him and conceived it, but eventually he turned his gaze to Derek by waving his cover to regain his mind.

"Then report the results of the interrogation."

"Yes. Let's start with the results...... Information leakage is unlikely. Only as a result of interrogations from the personnel who were in place."

Derek, once out of words, sent his gaze to Mildred and Old Ricard. Mildred opens her mouth.

"Firstly… the guards in the basement of the tower testify that they have never allowed extra personnel to enter. Some people didn't want to get close because of the distracting beads, but they volunteered to watch over them, so they have the ability and personality to put their trust in me."

"Personnel who monitor inside the room and use magic if necessary are also taking turns and sustaining tension. We strictly urge you to be careful not to overlook any danger in front of your Majesty's knees and during your mission."

and mildred and ricard old.

"And for the correctness of their testimony and honesty in the task, I was allowed to take confirmation at a magical interrogation. They were also cooperative and the interrogation went really smoothly. In other words, it is unlikely that there will be a leak within the limits of what I can confirm."

No, I guess it would be dishonest to try Derek to assure me.

If Beristio's consciousness is gathering information by such means as to make it through Derek's interrogation, or if there is a demon insider in a place that has nothing to do with this matter, the story will change, and I didn't confirm that much.

We can't get confirmation there at the moment, so we have to guess from the circumstances.

Assuming there is so much freedom in the sealed Veristio. And if there's a demon inside Verdogal. It must have been different from what the demons have been dealing with.

I have to say that those are still unlikely, given the various factors and previous history.

"At the moment, I don't think we're seeing any material that might be suspicious of leaking information."

"I think so, too."

Nodding at the words of Prince Josiah.

"Hmm. I guess it's a relief. But if that happens, can't you use the countermeasure of taking the leaked information that you said you would?"

"Right. That said, it is also a hassle to take the measures now...... If you think you can concentrate on what's right in front of you without doing anything extra, maybe you can honestly be happy."

"Hmm. I'm sorry I couldn't set you up, but I can hear you."

"No, no. That's it."

We joke about each other and say it, and then laugh at each other.

"What is your name...... It's kind of a masterful exchange."

When Mildred laughs small and says to my exchange with King Melvin, he shivers his shoulders in the way that Prince Josiah can't even indulge.

Well, from now on, you'll be wary of spilling false information on the sealed tower beads. Let's just say we didn't get extra elements in here.

"Now put the joke down...... If Vallos and Beristio are already in tune, it is also desirable that the plan destroy itself because of their discord. Because of the difference, I thought," Thank goodness. "

Differences in ways of doing things...... In Vallos and Beristio we see differences in terms of how we respond to other species, in terms of how we think. Judging from what I'm hearing, Beristio was more aggressive against other races.

But if Beristio decides to work with Vallos, we should see that there is already a fold on the difference. Since Vallos would not break, would it mean that Belistio nodded to Vallos' policy?

The method of simply conquering by force was once to fail and receive a permanent seal... if you reflected from it, would you also change the method?

"Right. I had the impression that Gardinis, who fought before, was also obedient to Vallos and Bellistio... but when he came into contact with Belliondola, he didn't seem to have any such opposing forces anymore, so it seems difficult to target discord or partition"

"It's a pain in the ass. With a dominated demon..."

And Prince Josiah looked up to heaven and sighed.

"It seems to me that the biggest obstacle for Vallos after liberating his allies is still his fellow countrymen. If we're going to create a situation where even if there are demons who don't follow policy, they have to do so because of Vallos' force and Beristio's ability… it's also possible to lead other demons."

If you say anything about Gardinis, he seemed like he was trying to get to the top. So is Waldom, who named himself the King of the Sea. It didn't look like he would follow Beristio very closely.

Gardinis - Waldom was aiming, possessed a technique that would escape Beristio's rule, or something? Or it's no wonder that I was thinking about taking the lead in the demonic group, getting out of Vallos and ending Veristio in the earthen.

In the past, Gardinis also seems to have attacked Beriondora when he was attacked down, but it is possible that this was also aimed at the complete annihilation of Beristio.

Or I have the impression that this one will come tighter from Gardinis' personality. Now... I can't even be sure.

If you look only at the results, instead of losing Gardinis and others, the demonic group is under the impression that they are showing a wrap around Vallos.

A guy like Mustra who walks independently seems to be lost as well, but he has little judgment material to say about him. I'm pretty sure he's the one who needs to be vigilant.

On the other hand...... what if you look at it from a Veristio point of view? For example... suppose he himself assumed that because of the passage of time while it was sealed, countermeasures were being taken against his ability to dominate?

When that happens, working with the same Vallos is a big benefit to him, too. If the sealed situation already sucks in the first place, and you're going to be released from it, you can call it a good turn for him no matter how he falls.

Assuming he's going to betray Vallos later, if he sees this one as his enemy again, he'll never make a move until he has a lot of people in the fight against us.

"- Either way, there has been no change in this policy."

Explaining his thoughts, King Melvin said so in meditation.

Indeed. Whatever the circumstances over there or the thoughts of each of the demons, there is no need to modify the orbit for this one. If you don't have to worry about leaking information, I'll just keep moving without changing my policy.

"So... I'm going back to my old job."

"Hmm. Now that the beads have been transferred, there is no wonder what time the enemy moves from here. You have to be careful. The rest... and I don't want to see your sad face."

"Yes, I will do my utmost to meet His Majesty's expectations"

When he said so and smiled back brightly, King Melvin smiled quietly to fit in here, looking straight at me and nodding.
