Boundary Labyrinth and the Foreign Magician

Go further south past the southeastern port town of Groufonica mainland.

There are two large outlying islands that can serve as hubs, just beyond the very clear blue sea plains. There are countless smaller archipelagos, ruled by the Earls of Garnica and Balfour.

Located in the south-west from the position of the remote island, the Count of Garnica is part of the western maritime nations and adjacent waters, and the Marquis of Balfour in the south-east - dominates the waters adjacent to the northern Bahárzad and part of the Duke of Driscoll in the Kingdom of Verdogal.

For this reason, it is said that the former Earl of Garnica was a militant with a strong and well-known knighthood, and that the Marquis of Balfour has often taken a relatively moderate position for a long time.

The former Martinez residence is situated on the territory of the Earl of Garnica, adjacent to the Marquis of Balfour. Therefore, we are on our way to Count Garnica territory.

"- Differences of that nature, the situation has now calmed down, and you no longer take a position enough to highlight the special militants. But has the culture of martial arts and training in the Earl of Garnica itself remained the same for a long time?"

And, the Marquis of Balfour tells me a lot about the Earl of Garnica territory that is going to be there.

"Mm-hmm. Does it look like the kingdom of Einfeus?

"Is it the nation of His Majesty the Beast King of the Northeast? Well, I only know rumors, so I can't tell you for sure, but there may be a lot of people who feel comfortable."

Marquis Balfour answers Sheila's words tilting her neck, conceived.

From what I've heard...... although I do feel it seems to go well with the face of the Kingdom of Einfeus.

That's how you go along the blue sea plains and you see a big island in the distance. Southern plants such as coconut trees. White sandy beach. Bright neat city. An old castle fortress with a boneless impression for surveillance towers and practicality...

I see soldiers waving their flags over the watchtower. It's a normal response to a visit in a dragon cage or something. I'm guessing the Sirius means we're heading for sightseeing, so there's a circular for the Lords.

Slowly flying towards the surveillance tower, we all head out onto the deck.

He was a nervous facedown soldier, but when Corliss and Teal came out together and waved, he rounded his eyes and gave a distracted look, then waved his wear. She also looked slightly out of her mind.

Thank you for your hard work.

"This is - the Marquis of Balfour. There was a circular, but I didn't know you were on the same ship."

The Marquis Balfour will stand between us and introduce us.

"It's an honor to meet you."

And they saluted me. Although the name seems to be widespread in the Glowfonica South.

"- That's why I'm on tour visiting Sir Sandario's footsteps. I came to visit the old Martinez family, but is the Count coming?

"Ha. Count Garnica is now absent on patrol in the territory. We have been notified about sightseeing, so if there is a visit without us, we ask you to make it convenient."

"Hmm. Thankful story. Now, along with a word of thanks from me, I would ask the Count to hand over the writ"

"Understood."

The Marquis of Balfour seemed to have approved the letter in advance of his departure and had handed it to the soldiers.

Regardless, it is not a problem for the Marquis of Balfour to head there to be treated as a separate residence. The entry in the territory is also granted by the Earl of Garnica, who will be able to visit the former Martinez residence without any problems.

That's why the soldiers at the surveillance tower waved the flag again, sending signals of clearance all over the city as well.

Head to the former Martinez residence, which is in the corner of Count Garnica territory at slow speeds and low altitudes.

Sometimes I can see the city from the deck - the knights, soldiers, adventurers have saluted it, the children have waved it... it's been notified beforehand, and it looks welcome for the price. This one also heads to his destination as he returns his salute and waves back.

"That's the mansion."

and indicated by the Marquis of Balfour. The impression is that the mansion is on a high ground overlooking the sea. Architectural style is what makes the ancient age feel, but I had the impression that the garden trees and mansion seemed well maintained and small and beautiful.

We anchor the Sirius on the sea side, and when we unload the tarap, the servants come out of the mansion. Four in all. Although there seems to be only minimal manpower due to the separate residence.

"These are the servants who are entrusted with the administration of the separate residence. They are trustworthy people who have served for many years."

The Marquis of Balfour tells me. When the Marquis Balfour greeted him with a smile from the deck, the servants, who had a surprised look, had also grasped the situation, smiling and bowing.

"This is the Marquis of Balfour. And the guests of the Kingdom of Verdogal - welcome aboard."

As we all descend from Tallap, the old butler greets us.

"Oh. I'm home. I think there was a circular regarding sightseeing on the airship, but you can undertake tourist guides to the south. I want to visit Lord Sandario's home, and that depends on how I brought His Highness Albert."

"Was it? Well, you have to put more on your arm today."

"Hmm. But before I do, there's something I need to tell you. I don't know what a stand-up in the open is. In the dining room, is that good?"

That's why I get off the Sirius and ask him to lead me inside the old Martinez mansion. Although the gardens are also somewhat southern-style vegetation with coconut trees.

Let the servants introduce you first, so they can briefly introduce you to these faces. Then we talked about finding a home, which should also be the main issue.

"I don't need to say anything else about what I'm going to tell you. As a matter of fact, the old Martinez mansion has left clues about past incidents. This is how I came to find out with Lord Theodore's help. This is an unofficial story, but His Majesty Demetrio understands it."

"Oh, really?"

Servants who show a little nervousness in the words of the Marquis Balfour.

"Well, it's an investigation because it's not definitive yet. I'm not talking about anything to your detriment. I will look around the mansion for a few moments, but I have to tell you that there are no problems with them. That's why we're talking. It's about past incidents that we keep a secret from, so just in case it affects you."

"Is that what happened?"

The servants seemed relieved by the description of the Marquis of Balfour.

Well, yeah. There is a slight impossibility in finding a home without the servants knowing it.

"Whether it's a hidden room or not, it might be possible to hide something from floorboards, beams, columns, etc. You guys usually live in this mansion and you ever notice anything?

The Marquis of Balfour asks me and the servants look at each other. They shook their heads sideways like there was nothing for each other.

"We have nothing. But I hear Sir Sandario was a knight, but he also used magic. Maybe the relatives also had magical talents. If it's such a magical trick, it could be something we don't normally see."

"Hmm. Again, do we need to find out for once"

To such a response, the Marquis of Balfour says in a conceived manner.

"Then I think you know why I relied on my family."

Illumhilt says as a little impressed.

"Try not to be out of reach of detection with small-scale junctions. It's not an impossible story...... is it?

Well in any case...... with the materials found in this mansion and in the Marquis of Balfour. You'll have to look into both.
