Boundary Labyrinth and the Foreign Magician

outside 739, inside the palace.

Float the magical lights - down the aisle that leads with everyone to the palace beneath. With the memory of Parteniara and the prior exploration of the Seeker, the interval of the palace is made into a three-dimensional model to some extent.

We plan to use the western tower where the passage is connected as a base, but this time we are renting treasure from Howe Country for underground diving. Damaged parts of the outer walls of the palace can also be used as escape routes.

Of course, you can go underground if you have access to the outside world not only to treasure, but also to Corliss' abilities, so if you need to retreat, you just want to make it an option along with metastatic magic.

"I made the medal golems remember the shape of the 3D model, so if you get lost, I want you to embed this in the rubble and use it instead of the map"

and distribute golem medals to everyone as they descend down the aisle leading to the palace. Well, just in case.

"Thank you"

The unsealed Grace received the medal and smiled.

The walls and floors of the palace cannot be turned into golems because of the spell defenses applied, but poorly preserved places - that is, if embedded in rubble, they will deform fine.

"So let's go in."

Everyone nods with a serious look at Claudia's voice. That's how he stepped inside the palace through the window of the west tower, except for lava.

Inside was... quiet. A diagonally inclined ruin is… it also has a very swordswallowing atmosphere.

It is slightly difficult to move because of the subtle slope, but if you build a scaffold with the activation of the magic shield, of course, the battle will not interfere with movement.

Enemies in Life Direction and One-Eyed Magic Sensing. Sheila and Irmhilt also join the enemy squad, while guarding Ashley, Claudia, Rosemary, Stephania and Elena, the Apirasian bees and animal groups, the Magic Biology Group and the Spellfighters and avant-garde members, while proceeding carefully inside the palace.

The first aim is to start with the bone tsuka, which is closest to the west tower. Follow the structure inside Wiz's remembered palace to the room with the bone tsuka.

There are no abnormalities in both life and magic reactions. I arrived at Oshizuka without a thing, but I can't say much about the atmosphere as reassuring.

When I say salvation, I don't rot or smell blood because it's not a new carcass, is salvation? This is not the part of the video from the crystal plate monitor that shows that it is completely white boned and that it does not seem to be from that old age.

"What are we going to look into here?

Ashley tilts her neck.

"From the state of the bone, I would have Wiz analyze it to measure the general antiquity... the older the bone will be in the center of the bone tsuka, so if I could analyze the trail of the predator's hunt and see the process of change, I would think"

In the case of organisms, you learned when you went on a tour of a museum displaying dinosaurs and the like, that you could measure age with radioisotopes of carbon. Sure... uh, it was carbon 14. When an organism dies, no new carbon is made, so you can tell the great age in its half-life?

I wonder if you can keep data with Wiz and compare, measure, etc. with the labyrinth nucleus to see the general area.

Well, age verification is good with that. Differences will also be investigated between the outside and the center of the bone tsuka. Make an aqua golem and send it into the center to get the bones. Have the Aqua Golem, controlled by me, take what remains as original a skeleton as possible inside that body and bring it inside the Golem's body.

"- Oh. I knew it. At the bottom… there are many bones of weak creatures, like small animals and beetles, as old as they are"

"The outer bones are hunting orgasms and trolls fine...... I mean, predators are growing."

Rosemary frowns.

"Right. From the bone damage…… I can see that the newer the object, the more skillfully, sharply, and intensely the attack. Preying prey on the palace to the root castle...... did you grow up or did you consciously try to grind your fangs and get stronger...... Maybe the latter."

He also found skeletons with traces such as a single blow to the orga directly in front of him.

If it was a simple hunt for predation, there would have been an ambush, a steeple aim being Theory, so there was a purpose besides predation.

It's not very bright information, but it needs to be well recognized as such. So... we finish collecting data at Oshizuka and then head to the hidden library.

Is it because the library is a floating palace, the bookcase seems to be fixed to the wall? Books are basically sorcery books. Degradation is progressing, but we can still decipher whether a technique has been applied for preservation.

I'm going to look at the book while making sure there is no unusual magic reaction because there may be a magic trap.

We can quickly see what the predators have seen. Because there are marks of dry blood at the ends of the fittings and pages. Blood marks can be in the form of distorted hands or fingers... and you can also see that your physique is growing somewhat large. If predators and raiders are equals, does reading a book mean that the shape of the human hand is best suited?

In any case, it can be seen that the predators of the palace are not interested in hand washing, tidiness, etc.

Let's also collect this blood trail as data. The blood of organisms like goblins, orgasms, oaks and trolls is easy to understand.

"With traces of growth, do you know what it is?

And, illumhilt asks.

"Mmm. Right. The thing I noticed is that the contents of the magic books that I see through are gradually advanced... If you're going to guess from there... whoever was reading the book is less likely to be King Elberulet or Zenobia himself."

The book that I think I was reading in the early days is preliminary for the price. The idea from here is that those who were reading the book were learning. If we were to assume that King Elberulet or Zenobia was alive and had a look through the book, rereading it from the ground up would be... somewhat difficult to think about.

It is best to say that he was preying and sharpening his abilities… he was accumulating his own power in the palace.

Magic creature, or something else. In any case, the investigation continues.

We need to take a good look at the compartment that's closed.

That's how I went down the aisle, and somehow Corliss reacted with a sore nose.

"Something... although I'm saying it smells strange from building materials in that neighborhood"

"Strange smell......?

Stefania gives me a strange look, pointing forward and telling it that way, so I look in that direction… I saw some blurry life and magic reactions on the floor.

"Something... you're here. Not a very strong reaction...... or even though it looks pretty weak"

When I say that, everyone - still lays down their weapons without alarm. Then a slightly panicked voice sounded.

"Ma, me. You're not one of them, are you?

Is this... the floor itself vibrating and the voice ringing?

"Mineralian...! It's a rare species living in the demonic world......!

Queen Meggiastra, who was watching this one, raised her voice a little surprised.

Mineralian-Mineralian, is that what it is? It could be like a living golem.

"How about, to. The monster almost ate me and assimilated me to the wall desperately to escape, and now I can't get away from the building materials. Eaten, distracted, maybe."

"That's... when are we talking about this?

"Wow, no. It's been a long time."

"The sense of time is very loose..."

Says Queen Meggiastra. A race that doesn't come out of their territory much at my pace.

I see...... Did you mean that the spell had just been integrated with the building materials it had imposed, and that you couldn't leave the palace?

If we get him out of the palace building materials, he might be able to give us some information.
