Boundary Labyrinth and the Foreign Magician

Queen Meggiastra contacted the comms machine saying that Seward's people - Mineralians - had obtained Alexandrite, so they headed to the Demon King's Castle.

"The mineralians have already arrived with Seward. Waiting for Theodore and the others in the hall."

She taught me that way when I greeted Queen Meggiastra face-to-face.

"I heard the Mineralians are not part of the Demon Kingdom."

"Right. But, well, just because the place and way of living are different from other races doesn't mean they don't need much interaction, doesn't mean they're hostile. He also exchanged words with his elders, but he said he wished he could maintain friendship in the future."

Indeed, mineralians stand quite differently from other races even if their living environment makes them an underground diet. I know it will be a race of independent steps.

Still, I'm grateful for this one. They checked with each other if they could respect each other's previous positions on the good side. On this occasion, if there is any trouble, it would be best if we could help each other.

"It's a little different from an alliance, but if the neighbors are still friendly, there's nothing to say."

"Neighbors are friendly, even in Rungard and the demon world."

"Indeed."

When I head to the hall of the Castle of the Demon King to talk about such content with Queen Meggiastra, the minerallians who admitted to our appearance will give me a compliment.

"Ooh. This is... Lord Theodore. Thank you for saving Seward."

That's how he looks up, and the mineralian elder looks at me and says:

"Welcome. Seward remembered so much that he was able to predict the nature of Belmrex in advance."

And I return those words from me to the elders.

"You can't move," he said. In fact, I think if Theodore and the others hadn't come, we'd still be trapped there. Thank you again. "

Seward once again gives thanks, and the mineralians close their eyes to the words and nod, indicating their consent.

The mineralians... look like an integrated body, minerals and crystals.

I have the impression that the crystals are stretched like hair from the head, or that minerals and crystals peek around the arms, feet, and shoulders to look like armor, but they are each of different colors and shapes, and even when I say the same species, there is a huge percentage personal difference.

I guess those differences are equivalent to differences in hair and hair color, eyes and skin color where humans say, but they are amethyst or emerald-style... all in all, bright shades.

Mineralian elders, so to speak, are mineral types in complex shades like bright opals. Young mineralians are highly transparent, and when they get older, they become less transparent? Except for that, I think there's presbytery in the minerals that cover your mouth like long eyebrows and beards.

"It's quick...... I want you to check. It's the stone you're looking for."

That said, when the elder turns his gaze to his companion, a stone box is handed to him. When the elder opened the lid, there was the original stone of Alexandrite. I was offered. Take that and show it to me.

"This is good. The quality seems good, and it wasn't hard to find."

The surface has not been processed, so it is not yet a gemstone or other flavor... It has been transparent since before processing, and there are no cracks if you look through magic at the part that would become a gemstone when finished. I can tell it's a good one even at the time of the original stone.

"Looking for mineral veins of these minerals, and positions such as those that are clear from them, is what the clan specializes in. I'd be grateful if I could repay you in any way."

"Of course. Thank you."

"I'm delighted."

And when I conveyed my thanks with Elena, the elder also seemed to snort with a grin in his mouth.

"And I heard that these stones are rare and intriguing on earth."

"If I could be the seed of the story, I brought you a souvenir"

Minerallians line the table with raw stones of various minerals. The surface impurities seem to have been removed by the mineralians from the beginning, because they are colorful primary stones...... interesting inside to watch.

"This one isn't very good quality to be a gem, but it possesses enough magic. Will Corliss and Amber like it?

and is Seward who brings me the ore that fits in the barrel. He seemed to collect all sorts of ore, and Corliss and Amber were picking up the ore from Seward with a loud nod of gratitude.

"Heh heh, Corliss and the others say they're happy."

Seward nodded happily as Stefania used the five senses link to interpret. Maybe the same underground dweller makes you feel familiar.

So let me show you the crystals of the various minerals. Clear green. Red stuff, bright blue, purple...... Graduated thin crystals spread like flowers, or they stick like carpets in mineral deposits......

"It's beautiful even in the state of natural crystals"

"Right. Though some stones don't seem to be in Rungard."

Floating stones, etc., would be the best of them. Light light… white and light water gradient shades of crystals. Mallane pours her magic into the universe and gives her a grinning smile.

It seems that the floating stone not only spreads itself, but also the effect of floating around. Mineral deposits, which contain many crystals of floating stones, have also become large and small floating islands and float all over the demonic realm because of the environmental magic intensity of the demonic realm. Serafina rides a floating stone or Sheila entertains the sensation by getting her hands in and out of the floating range of effects.

"Heh, that's funny."

"Mm-hmm. This is fun"

It is a nodding serafina and sheila.

"What other things are there?

"Maybe this is the kind of metal Rungardo doesn't seem to have."

What I took from Ashley's words is a blunt glow... a rose-shaped crystal. I was curious because it has an interesting nature when I did my research in the library. It's a little magical, but when I manipulated the magic from here to exclude the magic that's wrapped around it, the crystals melted and turned into liquid metal.

"Oh, that's the metal flower."

And Rosemary peeks in with interest when she sees it too.

"Yeah. Want to put it back?

"I'll give it a try"

When given the spot, Rosemary casts her hands on the metal that appears to be liquid in proportion pleasure and magic. Then - I reacted to the magic and went back to the rose-shaped crystals.

The melting point depends on the amount of magic it possesses… it is a metal with an interesting nature inside.

"With regard to metal flowers, when controlled by a surgical procedure, the shape can be changed when coagulated. You've heard about using it to make keys that look like ornaments, to make them a protective tool, and all sorts of things available. Well... it's hard to use as a weapon because strength also depends on the amount of magic you have."

Queen Meggiastra tells me.

"Interesting enough as it is for ornamental purposes and playthings...... sounds like it has some research potential in it"

In fact, are metal flowers popular for ornamental purposes?

There are many harmful images when it comes to liquid metals, but they do not show toxicity for metal flowers and are not absorbed by the human body.

When it comes to floating stones and metal flowers, the Ore resources of the Demon World are a lot of interesting objects.

"If you like it, it's more than anything."

The elders say. Since it is a souvenir substitute, it would be nice if we received it. Anyway, now we've got the ring material. Let's try to get Viola to process it securely.
