Boundary Labyrinth and the Foreign Magician

The Sirius travels all the way south - continuing in a straight line towards Antarctica. It gives a good speed, so it develops wind magic and light magic fields by keeping altitude high so that noise and shock waves are not a problem on the ground.

Through the Grand Duke of Debonis, in the southern part of the Kingdom of Verdogal, and further south through the arid zone of the Kingdom of Bahárzad - there were vast rainforests.

Depressed forests, woods, forests with little human hands in them -.

"When I went to the Bahárzad kingdom before, I heard that the river was flowing from the south,... from around here, is it?

Look at that, Grace says. It was Forceto who answered that question.

"Right. The water source of the river flowing through the Kingdom of Bahárzad will be…. In hot, rainy environments all year round... they say some monsters are dangerous, so it seems like a forest that doesn't attract too many people"

It looks like there's a magic buildup.

If you look at it with a stargazer... you can confirm the presence of a magic build-up in the back of the forest.

This time it is useless for this rainforest, so it sets a route that will keep it away from the vicinity of the magic build-up. Together, the people and nomads of the Bahárzad kingdom live more north… around rivers flowing in the drylands than in the vicinity of the dangerous woods where demons lurk.

The demons who depend on it are not going anywhere more than the accumulation of magic. It is common everywhere in the world that it would then be less wasteful and dangerous to live away from that zone.

The demons that pop up outside the magic buildup basically tend to be weak races.

On the other hand... rare herbs are native depending on the environment of magic accumulation, or mineral veins with strong magic are formed... so it's not like no one steps into such dangerous depths for a thousand bucks. Although the Verdogal kingdom has a labyrinth, things can be slightly different.

"Speaking of magic build-up, there's no wonder there are hidden ancient ruins and unknown magic kingdoms just past the danger zone, I can't believe... there are stories that seem to inspire adventurers"

"Halvaronis...... is right. Others, like the ruins that were in the fairy forest of the Kingdom of Drafdenia."

"So there were Hou countries and hitakanokuni just beyond the forest of the beast demon... now you can't say it's a fantasy"

Claudia and Ashley reply bitterly to Stephania's shaken topic. Mallane also nods with a slightly strange look.

I know stories like that. It is an imaginary story conceived from the fact that there are zones where people are separated by magic build-up… But as Claudia and Rosemary put it, I've seen some real examples.

"When this happens, I feel like there's something else coming out."

"What about this forest?

And to my words, Illumhilt tilted his neck just after the performance.

"Mm-hmm. Looks like there's some interesting creatures and demons out there."

"There was something like a rotundail in the Great Decay Lake earlier!

Sheila and Serafina answer. Rotondail...... crocodiles or a form of demon close to that.

"It's a corner, so it might be interesting to go on a tour of forest creatures and demons in Life Direction."

"Oh. That sounds fun......!

"That's not bad. Though the stopover weighs on itself because it has a purpose."

And, Ruskinia brightened her expression, and Rosemary put up a feather fan and nodded yeah.

That's why I dropped a little altitude and proceeded on my journey south watching forest creatures react in my life instruction.

Unusual shapes of monkeys and birds...... different vegetation, so I never get tired of watching them.

It also seemed to be a good distraction on the move for Teal, and with the first Wiz to see the outside world, I'm impressed he was grasping at the sight he seemed from the monitor to eat in.

Sometimes it's smiling inside to find an unusual form of creature and turn around here and tell me.

Eventually - I see the end of southern land.

"Is it the outer ocean from here? There's hardly a big land until we get to the southern continent."

Marr said as he looked at the stargazer.

"You're right on this route. I don't need to build a relay point this time, so I don't plan on stopping by to get to my destination... Shall I do some research to see it from the top? Maybe we can find something unusual."

When I say that, everyone snorts, too.

The last time we headed to Hitacanokuni, we planned to build a relay base for the islands, etc. we stopped on the way, so supplies are currently being prepared in the Kingdom of Verdogal. I wonder if we'll be heading back for magic architecture when those are ready.

That's why we're going to Antarctica at a slightly lower altitude while continuing our life instruction.

Near the coast, the sea shines in emerald green. There are many organisms in close proximity to land, and the reactions you can see in Life Direction are lively.

That's how we gradually left the land - to the outer ocean with no landmarks or anything. The sea continues everywhere as far as one side looks around. Such a sight.

Sometimes I could see reactions like being a roving fish or a whale to life reactions in the sea, but it doesn't look different as a sea landscape.

I don't have a hard time grabbing position at the moment because I have a stargazer, but the one invisible outer ocean of the island will still feel uneasy when it comes to sailing in earnest.

There's no one else we can count on, and there's no base to stop by when something happens. That's the place.

It's just... if you say only to us, we can evacuate with metamagic, and since Illumhilt is playing a song on the ship, Serafina and Ruskinia are all in line for rhythm, is there anything we can do without everyone feeling that anxiety?

If you look at anything else, you're sitting perched up and grabbing the ore like Corliss throws his legs out, or Lindblum is having a mild extension. Ashley and Mallane brushing Lavine and Belius… the bridge has a soothing atmosphere.

But it's getting a lot darker out there. Still in the high hours of the day in the Kingdom of Verdogal. Longitude hasn't changed that much, but it's gone quite south. I guess there's less sunshine time.

And so Teal turned this way and raised his voice.

If you look at the monitor, you can see a huge chunk of ice on the ocean - an iceberg. It must be familiar to Teal. Looks a lot happier with the flipper as a pat.

"I wonder if they're getting closer."

Ringing out as Teal answers. According to the magic props in the translation, it seems that it may be time to see other races than ourselves.

Ah. Even on Earth Antarctic creatures go north for overwinter in winter, I've heard of that.

"Does any race other than the teals mean they move to warm places in the winter?

When asked so, Teal snorted and replied with a chirp. That's why he seems to be saying the back of the land is safe.

The race of Teal... is the demon penguin, if you will. As far as stargazers go, winter seems to be moving inland.

Spending the Antarctic winter inland...... did Koutay Penguin do the same?

It may be an advantage to be able to monopolize the hinterland in the sense that it does not get in the way of reproduction and parenting from other races. Regardless, if we can withstand the harsh environment of the interior of Antarctica and the harsh winter months, we are talking on the assumption that.

If I did... I'd be worried about the tiny ecology of the teals. It's even bigger than a kowtay penguin... it's a demonic penguin, so you can manipulate the ice.

Well, what is it? If I visit from now on, I will be able to show you a lot of things around.
