Boundary Labyrinth and the Foreign Magician

Outside 529 Deep Sea Operations Conference

The Deep Fishman tribe was quite exciting, but there are still a few things left to talk about.

We wait for them to settle down a little and move on.

"Next, we need to talk about how we should treat our returning eyes. As for the eyes, I think it's the original muscle to get back into the hands of the Deep Fishman tribe, but you all will have concerns. There are several suggestions for measures, each of which has its advantages and disadvantages, so I wonder if it would be a good idea for the family to discuss them and decide."

"Sure, we are out from clan to betrayal around the eyes...... I don't know if people like Folgaro will ever come after me again. Let us know what you think."

The elders snort at my words. It seems that we are paying attention to what suggestions we have for the faces gathered in the square.

"First, use contract magic, etc. so that you can't abuse your eyes, so that if you conflict with it, you can't exert the power of your eyes. There are two main ways to do this. One is to incorporate the eyes into sturdy magic tools. The other thing is... don't be offended, but I want you to hear that your eyes will engrave a surgical formula."

Saying so and watching the reaction, the Deep Fishman tribe was surprisingly calm. I'm away from the generation I was worshipping my eyes for, I guess, because it's just one of a few measures, and I'm preoccupied with it.

"Advantages and disadvantages mean that there's a long and short way to go, too, right?

"Right. The advantage of the first method is that there is no hand on the eyes themselves, and the disadvantage is that there is a limit to making the supplied magic equipment sturdy. If they take it out by any means and destroy the demon prop part, it makes no sense."

"Hmm...... That's for sure."

The elder nods as he puts his hand on his chin as he envisions.

"The second way - the advantage is that you don't have to worry about being destroyed like that. The downside is that... the eye itself will be seen as a demonic stone and the surgical formula will be engraved, so the limit value of force will be lower than the current eye for the capacity of the surgical formula. Emotional resistance to putting hands on the eyes themselves will also be problematic."

With that said, the fishmongers had a slight break-up of their reactions with those who closed their eyes and nodded or conceived something.

"Another way to do this is to create a magical creature, a protector who protects his eyes? This may be similar to the way you put magic props behind your eyes."

"If they destroy the magic creatures themselves, they have no ex-girlfriends."

"Right. However... the method of keeping eyes inside a magical creature avoids sneaky tricks. During the fighting, the settlers will be able to join the magical creatures."

When I say that, the elders nod like they were impressed.

"It's safer than a way to get magic props attached."

"Right. You can combine magical creatures with magic propagation to protect them in a composite way."

So I will introduce you again to the faces of the magical creatures that accompany you and ask you to refer to what it feels like to be a magical creature.

The light demonstration caused Ignis to rotate the arm joint, lumbar joint area to show an unusual bareback at a fierce rate, or Maxwell to show a magnetic wire slash, and the fishermen's warriors had the look of surprise, "Oh..."

"Other ways...... if you fear the eyes themselves, is there a way to keep them out of reach and leave them asleep? It seems possible to incorporate contract magic while not being able to do whatever you want later... and bring out your eyes only when you need them in the application of metastatic magic. Oh, can applying metamagic in contract magic conflicts also be used in magic propagation and magic creature schemes"

You think if you try to destroy the magic item, metastatic magic will be activated against your eyes as the ultimate defense? To put it that way, the elders laugh bitterly.

"… I'm surprised to hear so many stories about the need for very advanced magic technology."

"Given the magnitude of the impact, I won't spare you any effort."

And, answer and then continue with the words.

"It can be handled in any way, but I'd like you all to consider the methods I've mentioned. I will be consulted, including if it is feasible if I have come up with any other ways. If you use contractual magic, you need to pack it to make sure you can manage your eyes safely."

After that... I also have to tell you that if there is a lot of process to apply my hands, it will stretch my eyes back just for that matter.

For example, if you just engrave the procedure directly, you can return it quickly, and it will take as long as it takes to transfer magic to a magical creature. When I told them all that, the fishermen, including the elders, were nodding at each other as they were convinced.

"Okay. As for the eyes, as soon as things settle down, let's make some time for consultation between us."

Right. It would be better to proceed carefully so as not to be halfway through eye management.

And... this is the real deal about this discussion.

"So - shall we try to figure out how to rescue those in Forgallo? It would be helpful if you could tell us a variety of things about Forgallo and his current situation. I'd also like to get evidence of their evil behavior, so I'd like to share some stories that lead to such evidence, as well as stories about assignments they've received in the past."

"As for that... will you talk to the warriors and the old men who were once warriors? We are unable to share information on the overall picture of what they have done to us because of slave magic."

And the elder said. Right. That's the part I expected.

"You're going to need to spend a little time listening to me and working out the operation."

Grace says, the elders nod too.

"Let us prepare meals and other things to do for face other than warriors and ex-warriors. If you have any thoughts or memories that might help them, ask them to bring information to the discussion room each time."

Therefore, apart from the warrior and former warrior faces, it was dissolved once.

Cuteria is not a fisherman or a warrior class, but she is in an ops conference wondering if she can expect other information because she was forced to experiment with magic.

The nature of the discussions is closer to operational meetings than earlier, and time is also used to gather information and a large number of people participate. So we made a simple chair or round table with wood magic on the deck and settled our hips for discussion.

In the bubble sphere covering the Sirius, we will wake up the structure of the capital of Folgaro in the drawings, hear where and what life the deep fishermen packing in the capital usually live, and work out rescue operations, etc. with that in mind.

In parallel, people will be asked what time, where and what kind of piracy and work activities they have been assisted in, etc., to create inventories.

We do not know if there is any evidence of evil left on the part of Forgallo, but it would be possible to shed light on some of the damage if the testimony of the deep fishermen were to be matched against the national dossiers.

With regard to incidents as old as those not even remembered by the deep fishermen... there are some parts that cannot be chased off by boulders, but fortunately, the deep fishermen have a much longer life span than the humans, even if they are not as good as mermaids and nereids.

"With that said, quite a while ago, you heard there was a case of disguised pirates using demons as mercenaries, do you have any idea?

And I'll ask you what you cared about. The deep fishmongers were looking at each other, but one old fishmonger nodded with a slightly bitter look on his face.

"Remember... we're here. It was the fiery demon who burned down the fleet of Glowfonican kingdoms that set the line, broke the line and escaped. I was there as an auxiliary, but that was a lot of damage on the enemy's side, and it was a big deal."

Oh...... Was Folgaro still chewing on one of the cases?

Even if you are a disguised pirate, if you interview the names of those involved, you will also come up with the names of the martial officers who belonged to Forgallo. Coupled with testimony in a magical interrogation, it should be compelling enough evidence. We need to get proper consent around here to get the fishmongers to testify, but don't hesitate if you're a crew member of a covert ship.
