Boundary Labyrinth and the Foreign Magician
Outside 397 Demon Gate
"Secretism is also the earliest thing that makes no sense. The aim was to make it easier for the public to monitor each other… it would be desirable to abolish that hierarchy"
"The system was also proposed by the former king."
And when Quentin says, Bartholomew nods.
Beschmerck's future policy will be discussed. Sometimes this is how the nations of the Alliance of Demons are coming, and secrecy to hide it is no longer meaningful than the inner affairs of the kingdom have been conveyed.
Essentially, they talk about the return to before that of domestic law, which the Predecessor has improved, and about institution-building to open up and interact with countries from now on.
"- Well, let's not say it's a remaining problem."
"Is it still a ritual or sealed relationship with the engraved witch princess? We don't even know what to do on the face of it, because we don't know much about those hidden inside details. I'd like a professor."
We don't have enough information, so we can't discern what to make public and what to hide. As a matter of fact, both Elena and Gabriella should stay down and talk about what was kept secret so that when we talked on the outer wall, we could decide what to do later.
His Majesty Parteniara has also been witnessed by the generals.
"If that's the case, it doesn't matter if it's done with my people."
"Oh. That's good."
If you answer Bartholomew's words that way, Parteniara breaks up with you.
"Sure... that's very convincing"
And the kings of the nations also laugh bitterly at the words of Queen Aurelia, who laughs like a prank.
I didn't mean to lie.
"Pfft. Sounds good to me, buddy."
Elena and Gabriela were also smiling at how Parteniara laughed like that. The air relaxed a little, but there Parteniara rises.
"Hmm. Now, the heavy towns in line here. Shall we guide those who have come to know the circumstances and stopped the tyranny of the king to the basement of the castle? Let's talk more about it there. It would be easier for me to see that."
The expression of the Quentins became serious in the words of Parteniara.
Apparently, the basement of the castle is a section called the Sanctuary, and access to it has been restricted for a long time before Xanaelk became king.
Head to the back of the castle, a place of royal life, the source of guidance for Elena, Gabriela and Parteniara. It seems to be a royal living space, but a corner of it - somehow became a temple meshed place.
An altar is built behind a thick column standing in line, but Elena and the others head to the back of the altar without straying. When Elena touches the tattoo on the back of the altar, the light runs on the tattoo, allowing the walls to become transparent and fade away.
After that - a spiral staircase leading to the basement had appeared.
The secret passage, by the way, is wide in width and has high staircase ceilings. With magical lights near the ceiling, the outlook is good.
It is not a passageway that seems to have no problem even if it comes in large numbers. A few people will be able to line up on the side and go down the loosely sloped stairs... so that perhaps soldiers can be sent in to deal with anything that has to do with the demonic realm.
Don't even Corliss or Teal can afford to go through. Though Teal seems happy to get down to the basement with everyone.
As a result, Corliss and the others are coming with us to the Royal Castle. Parteniara and the others don't mind, so I accompany them to the sanctuary.
Well, it can also be a fabric stone like that so as not to be suspected of bringing Satori in when examining the Xanaelks after safety has been ensured.
"I'm not sure about magic... it's a great trick"
Bartholomew, who saw the stairs leading to the basement, leaked words.
"It was a place where only royalty and witch princesses were allowed to bring in some. In the fold of the ritual are the witches along with the witch princess. We need to know the truth. The royal family and some of the heavy towns were supposed to accompany the king when he communicated the information…"
"This door, which leads to the sanctuary itself -- there is a ritual for opening the door, so we do it with it."
Elena and Gabriella teach me.
"But that's up to the top, too. In the lower compartment, the rule was that only kings and witch princesses were basically allowed in during normal times. Xanaelk doesn't care about rules like that."
That's how Parteniara clasped her shoulders.
Okay, let's go.
That's what Elena said. We're all going down a spiral staircase leading down to the basement.
Probably because of the situation where there were no soldiers or women. On the way down to the underground compartment, Parteniara talks about events about the Kingdom's past. There were once two ancient kingdoms with high magical skills. That one of them was Bechmerck's predecessor.
There was a bad part of the way the king did it at the time, which made him disgusted and put him at a disadvantage. He specifically lays low about the rule of the Spirit.
I guess it's because it doesn't make sense to tell the rest of us how to do it in that part. If you know the real example of Xanaelk, do you have any part of it where you don't need to say those lessons again?
"- The kingdom must have been in a hurry to reverse the situation. Let the magic fail cause a violent outburst of power. That caused a disaster on a global scale. The kings and magicians of the time tried to escape from it and failed even more. The space we created to escape captured the rampant power… forming a different world."
"At the bottom, there is a gate that leads to the demonic world. We, the engraved witch princess, close the seal of the gate, the one who bears the key."
"And... rituals mean passing on lessons and warnings from the past to future generations. His predecessors ignored the warning... and sought to use the resources of the other world beyond the gates to strengthen their military capabilities."
Parteniara and Elena, Gabriela give explanations. The aftermath of the kingdom is - as they know.
"So there was a backlash - a case fifty years ago? That's how His Royal Highness Elena told me that it would lead to this."
"I'm satisfied with everything."
"And the first king set up a shadow warrior of Princess Elmentrude, whom he found during the search, and in the meantime, he secretly went on with his research with Diadora to break the seal, and also developed a military development in the name of investigating the demons and other monsters on the other side," he said.
That military development is a spell soldier or biological spell soldier plan, such as Salvatora, or a spell that makes the generals from it a runaway state... I wouldn't even have opened the lid.
"As for me - when I left for the South on business of finding my fellow Teal herd, I was told by Teal's companions to find the boat I was drifting on… I discovered His Highness Elena asleep with a demonic prop when I searched for survivors, artifacts, etc."
And I'll tell you about this one. Teal makes the flipper pat and speaks up happily.
"Thanks to Theodore and Teal."
"Friends to, group Leno buddies, Wai!
Elena also smiled, and Roger was also raising his voice as he moved his wings in a rustling motion.
That's how we went down for a while talking, through the spiral staircase and out into the hall. It's quite spacious. Made of stone that emits an incredible sheen - carved with floors, walls, ceilings and tattoos, so that no external intrusion can take place. The surgical formula is carefully applied so that the structure of the subterranean compartment itself does not break.
I don't think there are any other clients besides us... but I can see they have some kind of experimental equipment. Was that... brought in by Xanaelk?
"The front room is a ritual place. From there, there is a passage leading to a further lower level. The large rooms on the left and right allow for the placement of supplies, the deployment and residency of troops of a certain size, so that they can also be prepared for what is envisaged…"
Parteniara explains the structure.
"From the print... you seem to be able to put up some spell barriers"
"Uh-huh. I was hoping you might need to stop for something. Of course, the emergence of large groups, even large demons, can seal their movements in the junction before hitting large numbers. And the structure itself can be repaired."
... I see. Parteniara's measures are pretty harsh.
"Xanaelk has built a new spell on the lower level. I was trying to weaken and break the seal with them - well, it would be here if there were no Xanaelk, the Lord of the Curse, or even a magician to rebuild the spell. He beat me with no room left."
And Parteniara grins and stretches her chest.
"So will I need to clean up after that"
"Right. They put things like crystal columns and magic props, so it would be helpful if they were cleaned up."
There are prints on floors and walls, so I can't draw magic formations. Instead, they installed crystal columns and other catalysts to cast spells against the gates.
We head to the ceremony hall in the back of the front.
There 's-- oh. Certainly a similar arrangement of structures to the ritual sites built by Gabriella and the others in Marquis territory. Although there are differences in materials, etc.
Behind it - there's a loose slope that leads to the lower level. Go further back.
There was a huge circular hall there.
Like a tattoo engraved on the floor or ceiling. A junction of pressures consisting of the columns of spells stretched by Xanaelk on multiple fronts.
And - is that the gate in the center of the hall?
It's diagonal and floating in the air. Like a square frame made of bizarre stone. The inside of the frame is shaken like a mirage... It's not the demonic realm that looks clear behind that shake, it's the landscape on this side.
It looks like a metastasis gate, but now it's not connected to that side because it's sealed.
"Is this… the greatest secret in our kingdom? It is a sin of the past committed by our fathers, and a gate that sealed the peril," he said.
"You can also snort to be secretive."
Quentin meditated, and Bartholomew and Marquis Malblanche shook their wears.
"Right. With this in mind, we must think about the future of witch princesses and gates. Another tyrant like Xanaelk doesn't show up - or maybe there's nothing wrong with tyrants showing up. So I brought everyone to this place to talk about the past."
Everyone. That means everyone here. Including kings of all nations.
Although it is the gateway that Beshmerk has managed...... if we consider the dangers of what is sealed, there will be no mistake in substituting for what should be considered the future management system beyond the country and race.
