Boundary Labyrinth and the Foreign Magician

The other medal golems will also move to create a corridor to head underground after checking the location of the Grand Palace.

First, they magically move plants on the surface, and then they magically turn dirt and cold lava into golems to remove them, or embed medal golems to create passages.

The excepted dirt and sand hardens, making it simple but intact and avoiding demons.

Make it look like a natural rock on the outside, so that supplies can be placed on the inside. The disguised base entrance on the ground and the passage to the lower palace are dimensioned to be blocked by the medal golem.

"Don't be a base in no time..."

"It's a rolling skill. If Lord Theodore were in the Intelligence Agency, he'd think of it as something like that."

Bloomwood rounds his eyes and Enrika says, yeah, shaking his neck vertically.

"We used to build a lot in Rungard with magic architecture. I'm used to these tasks."

"Sure, you also remodeled the fortress in your story. This is a satisfactory working speed."

Bolkeor narrows his eyes.

Right. He also tells everyone in the demonic world that he undertook the modification of the fortress in magical architecture during the battle against Vallos.

Queen Meggiastra also had a look that impressed her when she saw this working landscape.

That's how we were able to create a corridor that connects the disguised base on the ground to the - western tower of the palace. Nepheli set up the magic props because they were not swallowed by lava. In other words, it leans slightly diagonally down the eastern side of the palace.

It was once a palace built over a floating island... but the floating island that supported it was also crushed by Maynard, the vampire knight who served Parteniara. Therefore, what is sinking at the bottom of the earth now is also the base of the palace and the building, the shards of the island that could not support its weight.

However, it seems that the palace part has been shaped even if it falls from height and is drunk by lava because of its spellbinding structural enhancement.

The floating islands that supported the palace were inherently protected by spells, and by defeating Parteniara, Maynard was able to attack the floating islands directly.

They also destroyed the equipment when Neferi left the floating palace, so I guess there was something else in place. Even though it makes you have a role as a palace, there is no doubt that the reality was a military fortress. King Elberulet also had ambitions on earth, so maybe he was going to use them to invade.

"First of all - right. I wonder if we need to send a Seeker to check the status."

Everyone nods with a serious look when you say that. Not only may there be enemies, but there may be spell-based preparations left. We should proceed with caution while maintaining a situation where it is easy to make a map or secure an exit from Parteniara's memory.

Send the Seeker through the corridor you can. The Seekers headed straight down a passage that expanded somewhat to allow animal groups to pass, and that's how they arrived at the west tower.

The windows are still filled with lava, but the Seeker can be assimilated to rocks, etc. to infiltrate the building, so it's not a problem.

Proceed from the window frame to the inside to break through the lava. It proceeds assimilated to walls, columns and floors while making 3D models and maps.

Windows and doors. Damage to walls in battle, falling. There were traces of lava flowing inside from those parts, or the passage was blocked with rubble... but not so much that the original structure was unknown.

I moved the Seeker carefully, and that's how I proceeded as I asked him to send me information -.

"This is-"

The anomaly was found immediately. I left the tower and tried to make my way to the center of the palace, on the way. Inside a single room, there was a sight unlikely from the information obtained so far.

That's - bone. A large number of creature bones were piled high in the room.

"It's not from the old battle, is it? It's not human in the first place."

Parteniara makes a rugged look at it.

"The majority are oaked by goblins. Troll to Auga...... I guess. Demons and all sorts of things, it seems..."

Who, what time, and for what purpose did this? I don't know if I can find out the exact timing directly. Looking at the surrounding dirt, etc. and judging the situation overall, I have the impression that it is not from a long time ago, but time has passed there as well.

Looking at each individual in detail, it's like something bit him and smashed his bones... which means he also sees traces of predatory behavior.

"The person who did this was inside the palace and was able to get in and out."

Rosemary frowns.

"It will, I guess. I just haven't found it yet, and there may be a hole in the passage that leads to the ground somewhere."

At least... in the days Neferi is watching, if there was anything moving like this, he would be discovering it on a boulder.

How many times do I have to go outside and lure him in with some kind of surgery... or put him in and out with a metastasis as a candidate?

I'm not sure how, but it means I'm pulling into my territory, so if something comes and goes frequently... if I monitor it, I'll have a good chance of realizing it.

In a later time than Nepheli, there was something in the palace that did this, should I see?

It's still fine if you strayed from the outside to root this place out, but if, on the inside, for some reason - especially assuming it arose in an artificial way - the danger jumps at once.

"It will be difficult to see the work of the wild beast... For predatory purposes, the object of the hunt can be blinded by manipulative objects."

"Mm-hmm. All the barbarian races"

Sheila answers Osgrave's words. Yes...... Right. It avoids the species belonging to the demonic kingdom and targets the species known as the Barbarians. That's an indication that this predator is intelligent enough not to make a scene when the missing person comes out.

At the same time, it is also reminiscent of the use of necromancy in the bodies of the Goblins that raided the fangonoids.

If it was simply to live...... there's no point in subjecting troublesome species like orga and trolls to predation. Were you doing this out of sight... to build up more power?

"How long was the effect of the procedure applied to the palace by Master Parteniara… effective?

"It was only to prevent the mindless of the dead from having power, and to prevent the outbreak of grudges and evil spirits. Not so easily ineffective… I can't afford it until it lasts for generations."

To Elena's question, Parteniara closes her eyes and waves. Well... that wasn't supposed to be enough of a countermeasure, nor was it managed like a demon gate.

"Predators... are we still rooting for this place?

Grace said as she conceived.

"I can't tell you anything. If you see it as identical to a raider, you're more likely to be operating outside... We should also keep in mind that there are groups and separate individuals, and there is still no basis for assuming that this is the same matter in the first place."

For example... If there are any traces of experimentation or research on necromancy in exploration by Seeker, it would be nice to see that the raiders and the predators inside the palace are almost identical and have the same roots.

Either way... do you think you can carefully explore with the Seeker and then find out directly if it's safe, and if you have enemies, figure out a way to crush them so they don't get away with it?
