Boundary Labyrinth and the Foreign Magician

On that day he was welcomed at the Duke's castle and allowed to stay overnight.

It's a spacious, beautiful room. It was a room with a view balcony overlooking the city and the sea, with a bright atmosphere but also a sense of elegance, but with a castle-like atmosphere of the Duke.

Let me relax and relax in that room, and a day at dawn...

After breakfast, we took a short break, and we all decided to take the Caitos to the old castle.

"Theodore's magic seems to favor the more allies he has. Even if you leave a message on an airship, it's better to have more personnel."

That is Queen Eldraine's valve at the tea table after a meal. Harpy and Seylan snort at the words as well.

"It might be a good idea to play a curse from the ship's deck. I'm sure we'll be able to help."

"Right. Let us help Theodore in the shadows."

"Uhm."

and Vera and Marion, their respective chiefs, are also nodding at each other.

Oscar and Vanessa, who were listening to the story, nodded face-to-face as well. And Oscar tells the Duke.

"If that's the case, we'd like to accompany you!

"Hmm. If it's a condition that you don't get off the airship... what do you think?

And, the Duke asks me for my opinion, Leslie.

"I... don't think it's a problem. I was wondering if it would be safe outside the old castle. What do you think of Lord Theodore?

"Right. I don't think it's a problem for me. Just in case, let the ship have its strength."

Is it still Belius or Alpha when it comes to the right face to protect the ship? Belius can intercept from a long range, and both can scratch around when he's pulled in close range with high mobility. In addition, with Alpha's manoeuvring skills, it is also effective when fleeing from ship to ship. When it comes to high manoeuvre long-range, so does Lindblum.

"Just as I heard. If I can keep my word, I will allow you to accompany me."

"Of course, Father. I'd like to help, but I don't want to be a part of it."

Vanessa replies so happily with a grin.

"If it means not getting off the boat, I'll come with you. I trust you about Oscar and Vanessa, but the more allies you have, the better?

That's what made the Duchess laugh.

With such exchanges, the number of faces on board the Caitos has increased more than yesterday. Towards the ancient castle, the Caitos progresses slowly.

"Mmm. I knew the West was good"

And Sheila said that while turning her shoulders and hips and exercising prep.

There were plenty of seafood dishes last night and this morning. As Sheila, motivation is on the rise.

Shoulder trembles when Illumhilt or Grace dulls at how Sheila looks like that.

I just lost my shoulder strength in good shape, and I can see that castle over the blue ocean. An isolated island in the sea. The appearance of a castle standing there...

"I heard it was an ancient castle... but it's beautiful for being exposed to the sea breeze"

Rosemary said. Right. I can't even see where it's crumbling from here, and the texture isn't that bad.

"Sure. When it comes to architectural styles, I think it's from an old era."

Stephania frowns at my words.

"If so, well managed or otherwise..."

"As a Duke family, we have long done nothing more than manage normally. They said it's easy and good to not have a hand because it's well made and doesn't need repairing..."

"I wonder if there's any chance we're reinforcing it with magic tangles."

Claudia said with her eyes closed.

The story is that the island itself is located off the route, so it is only positioned to the extent of the Duke's villa. The size of the island is there, too, but Wagner-Driscoll said he didn't like the others visiting that castle, and the Islanders don't live there.

Even though it is positioned as a villa in the Duke's house, it seems that the Duke's face does not go to play that often because it is slightly inconvenient to get around.

In it, Leslie found a hidden library and was fascinated by Grazheim… or because the process itself was lured into Grazheim.

Leslie's standing before the Dream Demon case was assisted by her lord, Owen-Driscol. He ruled part of a territory stretching along the southwest coast and across the sea to the west, in the position of acting assistant lord.

It seems that it is also within Leslie's jurisdiction to have this ancient castle.

In short, it would mean Leslie, who was under the control of Grazheim, was the last person to visit more than the face of the Duke's house would normally visit.

I haven't seen the inside of the ancient castle yet... but at the moment, from the information I have at hand, it's in the form of an unusual compartment of any kind that can be used for the villa and a hidden enchantment-related compartment.

I don't know where and how far the trap that Grazheim activated extends from those sections of the ancient castle...... if you think it was a prestigious magician's research facility called Wagner-Driscoll or Azito, the exploration should proceed with caution.

"If the ancient castle is divided into an ordinary building for disguise and a magician's research facility… it would be desirable to follow proper procedures until you enter the ancient castle."

"You say?

"If you cross a castle on the Caitos, for example, and break in through a window, some kind of extra magic trap could be activated."

"I see..."

It is a form of moving around the island from the dock to the ancient castle, which rises above the cliff.

"If so, it may be better to be accompanied by the Duke's family until you enter the ancient castle"

Leslie said with a serious look.

"The part used as a villa may be safe only then," he said.

"Yes."

I see. If it's the blood clan that opens the gates, it makes sense that traps other than critical compartments will be lifted.

"Ok...... Now, may I ask Lord Leslie to accompany you until you enter the castle?"

I answer that to Leslie, who is going to see this one with a resolute look. After that... here's the job I took on.

"Of course. Because this is my sprinkled seed."

"If so, let me accompany you that far. I, the parent, should go with you."

"We will wait... with your mother on the Caitos."

"I'll keep my word."

"Mm-hmm. That's fine"

The Duke and Leslie all the way into the old castle. Oscar and Vanessa, as well as Lady and Deacon Clark, are here to help me, so it's in the form of having them wait on the boat as promised.

We anchor the Caitos at the dock and descend with everyone to the island. Until the ancient castle, built on a cliff, the path paved with cobblestone continues.

"Be very careful."

"Good luck."

"We look forward to welcoming you all home"

I can hang drop-off words from Queen Eldraine, Marion and Vera. The Duke and Leslie were also called out to watch out for their families.

The ship will be accompanied to the entrance of the castle by Belius as an escort to the return of the Duke and Leslie, although he will remain a force of war.

Going down the cobblestone path - Forceto stopped his leg.

"Something… sounds like a bond"

"Yep. I can even see it in my monocular glasses. It doesn't seem to be like refusing to break in because it's thin..."

"If you're a blood family, you might have a reaction."

Those dukes take the lead with Leslie and step forward. The moment I touched the thin wall of light, the light disappeared from it. Again...... I guess it's for discerning if the one who came is the blood of the Duke's family or not.

"I knew there would be a magic trick."

When I told everyone what I saw, Illumhilt said clouding his expression.

"But I would also say that this ensured some safety to the compartment Sir Wagner wanted to hide. It's forbidden to be alarmed because there may be something else."

Everyone nods when I say that. Mallane was also shaking her neck vertically with a strange face.

That is how we ascend the cobblestone path and arrive at the gates of the ancient castle. It also looks like a magician's castle here...... a crystal ball was fitted beside the gate. When the Duke touches it, a loud gate opens inward, making a murmuring noise. Behind it was a simple yet elegantly made entrance hall.

Okay. Let's talk about exploring Wagner's ancient castle.
