Boundary Labyrinth and the Foreign Magician

After a while, Enrika led the train back.

"Now that you can respond to the invitation, I will convey the words that Your Majesty has deposited with you. I don't know if it will be in line with expectations because we don't know each other's circumstances, but I feel the same way about leading the sages. I hope to have a good relationship."

"Okay."

Nod quietly. Avril hasn't given a signal. I guess that means Enrika doesn't have a dark spot behind her.

I asked him if he was aware of any courtesies, etc. during the interview, but he was not a very detailed person.

Nevertheless, he is the one who binds the species living in the demonic kingdom. Respect should be paid.

We enter the train of a werewolf car and continue on the boulevard of Geovelm. - Then cross the moat and the bouncing bridge over there and enter the grounds of Demon King's Castle.

We're headed to Central because we're being invited to the Demon King.

Passing the passage leading to the six surrounding towers, the lane proceeded straight to the central tower. Over a huge gate, the train of a werewolf car stops. It was - it was a huge hall to look up to.

The floor is made of tattooed stone. Sounds like a design priority, not tattoo magic. Fine sculptures and decorations on the walls. Huge columns support the ceiling. Decorate the ceiling as well. A large chandelier illuminates the hall from the center...... indirect lighting is also lit everywhere, so bright for the word Demon King Castle.

Spacious passageways stretch from the left and right of the hall. Behind there is a fan-shaped staircase that appears to lead to the back of the castle in the center.

"The decoration, the scale... it's amazing"

"Over the years, craftsmen from various fields came close to completion. As a result of joining forces with the castle you deserve to protect the people of the demonic kingdom and to receive kings that bind all races together."

Enrika answers that she is impressed. As for Demon King's Castle, it was decided to build such a huge building first, and the castle was built with a long-term plan to avoid burdens.

Sounds like he's got a pretty good defense, too, magically. Given the demonic environment, I also feel like I'm going to invest in defense.

The people who serve the castle vary, and it seems that the species we see all over the demonic world work in the castle as martial officers, civilians, and servants.

Ascend the stairs visible to the front as you are guided by Enrika and head to the back of the castle.

"Your Majesty wants to talk a little bit more, so we're going deeper, not in the blink of an eye."

"Okay."

Go down the hallway, nodding to Enrika's words. As for the place between the sights, it's usually convenient to be in any castle.

And the place we were put was a cylindrical room with a vertical hole toward the sky. There seems to be a magical trick at your feet, with columns of light rising from the central floor and a high magical reaction.

"This will be equipment for ascending and descending to the top of the castle. If you don't use this... you'll be climbing stairs and walking quite a distance."

"No problem. I'm sorry to keep you waiting."

It would be like a pumice in Theorem or Forestania. Enrika walked into the pillar of light earlier, so we followed suit. When Enrika uttered the command word, the light at her feet grew stronger and our bodies rose vertically as they did.

Unlike pumice stones, they're not traveling on objects with entities. Things like rings and particles of light move around the perimeter from bottom to top. We're on the rise, too, to keep up with that move.

Interesting magic technique.

Rosemary says, Enrika responds with a laugh.

"I'm proud of the facilities of the Magic Court. I hope you like it."

It's not the same way... I guess it's just like pumice stone, but it can also shut down functions and seal vertical holes. You know, like blocking direct passages for everyday use and letting them direct you to more defensively oriented passages.

Eventually, when he reached the upper level of Demon King Castle, he slowly landed on the floor, moving his body, which had risen vertically, to be flushed forward.

Stone corridors. I'm under the impression that the decorations and conditioning are calmer than the lower floors. Is it because it is the Demon King's living space?

Further down the corridor while being guided by Enrika, he leaves in front of a large door.

"His Majesty the Demon King awaits you in the back."

I don't even have to hear that word, behind the door - no, I already felt it on my skin from the way down the corridor - but I can see that there is some strong magical reaction. Quite a bit of magic and presence, but nothing like intimidation.

I'm just sitting quietly. That's the impression. So I guess everyone feels the magic on their skin, but sometimes the pressure hasn't been directed, and they don't seem so nervous.

If you only look at magic reactions and look for someone you know with a similar atmosphere...... would you touch faces like high spirits, water dragons, behemoths, etc.? Something with a strong force based on nature that has nothing to do with righteousness and evil.

The door slowly opened when I nodded. Beyond the door is a dancehall-like hall. Beyond the round table, there was one person standing behind the hall.

Long skinny human form. Long black purple hair. Wings and tails of the same color as hair. White skin and red eyes by the time of morbidity. Cut long eyes and pitiful beauty.

I thought it was the Diabolos because of their physical characteristics... no. Looks like some kind of race is just transforming into a human form. Oh, this feels...

"I'll see you first. My name is Theodore."

Greeting on behalf of him, the Demon King gave a quiet grin.

"Welcome to my castle. The rest is the modern demon king Meggiastra-Gioverra."

Meggiastra-Gioverra. The part of Geoverra is not a surname, but a title that has the meaning to sum up the king's capital, if it were the demon king of a man, would Geoverra be the demon king of a woman? In short, Queen Meggiastra, you mean.

Return the courtesy and introduce the accompanying faces without leaving behind. Queen Meggiastra nodded and narrowed her eyes delightfully when she saw us.

"Hmm. Apparently you're being cordial with the rest of the proximity"

I see...... Maybe he felt signs of Waterdragon parents or children or Vinckle. I also wear protective equipment, especially with dragon scales.

When it comes to dragon material, magic wavelengths change when it is conceded and when it is overthrown and stripped, so that such wavelengths can also be sensed if they are dragon species.

Queen Meggiastra is apparently a dragon breed. Even when it comes to being a person, it resides in a strong power... because it is another different technique than the technique of humanization? And from the color of those wings and scales, it could be a black dragon.

Black dragons are spoken of as legendary beings without sightings in Rungard... but it may be that they were born as mutants in the demonic realm, or that their former habitat was swallowed up when the demonic realm was created.

"Right. I have a few dragon breeds in my friend."

Queen Meggiastra was convinced when she answered that, rather than knowing, she nodded with the impression.

"I also prepare drinks. Let's start by calming down and talking."

"Thank you. As for the conversation... Mr. Bloomwood and I have a relationship that we're hiring, so if you want to choose someone to talk to, I'd like to ask you to consider waiting in a separate room."

We'll also talk about how we met the Diabolos after we prefaced. Bloomwood collapsed due to slow poisoning of the basilisk, and Verito and the others tried to earn money for the treatment.

Scratch and explain where Verito and the others were in trouble when they encountered the demons, and ask for escorts and a guide to the Wang Capital on the edge.

I still don't know why you invited us, so I can't say anything, but we're not in the same position as the Bloomwoods. Sometimes if it's something you're keeping secret from the people, you should go ahead and keep it a secret.

Queen Meggiastra listened quietly to the story and watched the Bloomwood and Velito quietly for a little while, but eventually opened her mouth.

"As for the rest... I don't mind if they think they're enough for trust. Bloomwood's reputation is heard. That the children he sheltered also acted without regard for danger in order to help Bloomwood. And I wonder if accompanying this place is a man of righteousness?

"Right. I think I'm trustworthy."

"If so, it's not stingy to let them talk and hold it as it is"

When I answered, Queen Meggiastra said it like that and gave her a nagging grin.
