Boundary Labyrinth and the Foreign Magician

"Well, thank you"

When I said that, the guard's meditation also nodded pleasantly, leading me to Gardinis' cell.

We're off to full rest. Zaradi, Waldom and Alverinde and each had their own thoughts... but their interests were in agreement. How about Gardinis?

Through the passage following the spiral, descending downwards. That's how we arrive at Gardinis' confined cell. The fact that he was a patriarch, the magic skills he possessed, his vigilance for his ambitious character, that's why. That's how the guard opens the door in front of me.

Gardinis - stood with his back to the center of the junction. No borough cloth hood to wrap around. The blue and white flames drifting around it - and the sins... seem to burn stronger than the other three.

"I'll wait outside"

"Yes, I'll see you later"

As the Plutonite closes the door, Gardinis slowly looks back. He's a demon who looked like an old master, just like Osgrave and Zaradi, but unlike the two of us, he has a sharp eye... strict or heavy, I have the impression that he feels pressure in relative terms. Is it still in the cell, and the standing that doesn't make you feel the gap?

"Long time no see. I never thought I'd see it again in a place like this. No - should I say because you can come alive to a place like this"

Gardinis laughs.

"Oh. Long time no see. I didn't think I was going to make it to the Underworld like this."

I couldn't imagine his appearance or personality after the demonization was lifted, but Gardinis doesn't look that different from when we first met. Regardless of the inside, this is how I got the impression that I gave the answer.

Gardinis nodded as I lowered my back and lowered my back to the center of the junction.

"I've heard some stories from Beristio and Vallos. Not surprisingly, the Lord has broken them. What is surprising is that the Lord chose to reconcile and coexist? When I was relative, I felt something like an obsession with the enemy from my moves."

"I'm not wrong. Even now, I think it would be a battle against Istrum, a direct enemy."

He... he was broken, because...

"Istrum... Mustra? It was uncomfortable to see him."

Gardinis says with a slight frown. I don't know all that much about Gardinis... but I also feel like it's unusual to say that it's somehow out of line with Gardinis to talk about personal likes and dislikes...

Gardinis laughed when he guessed what he wanted to say from my reaction.

"Because I had an intuition that it was the last thing the forever living demons would ever get to. At first glance, I felt that it was a broken being. Well... I threw away as many demons as I could just ruin others for the sake of sharing... but I didn't expect anything older than Nong et al to wish for the ruin of the world. He would have been an enemy to Non."

The end of the demon, huh? Yeah, I wonder what. The spirit wears off, but it still doesn't perish because of its ability, the way it went, the way it went. The oldest demon to have passed even longer than the Veristios.

Gardinis' intuition, I think, is right. At the same time, doubts arise about Gardinis' perception.

"You were... trying not to be," he said?

"Damn, well, to the extent that it offends me to look at him and understand him. Seeing and hearing all kinds of fellow countrymen and thinking about the existence of demons,"

Because it had passed, and it was not good to wear or break, Gardinis had consciously embraced the raw as a demon and pursued it so that the consequences of his actions would be greater achievements.

Depending on the time and the circumstances, it would be self-drilling, acting as a clan chief, acting as a strong man or ruler… If there was a sense of crisis or discomfort at the end of the line: a broken demon, it is also a convincing story. Because there will be no such action, out of a sense of abandonment, disgust, or despair.

"Beristio couldn't help but break because he was asleep, or because of that toughness... well, he was close to immortality, too. There were fears that it would all be a disaster... but I ended up worried."

That's what I'm gonna say. Gardinis. I guess it's not irrelevant that you left that out when you lost to me when you were the first one in the Moonlight Temple.

To Gardinis' words, Beristio nodded as if he was convinced by Ning Ro.

Or - seeing the likeness of Istrum, maybe Beristio had something to think about again.

"Is that why you helped the Vallos?"

"There's that too, let's just say. Because if there are signs of transformation, it was Noh's creed not to let himself be left in the flow, but to focus. Isn't that what your lord does around here?

"Sure... I know I'd rather be flushed than left to others."

I was acting to make sure I was in a good position… to make sure it wasn't detrimental or to make sure it was profitable. Well...... it sure doesn't change a lot, huh?

In any case, Gardinis is convinced that he will keep himself with his creed and actions, so I don't think he ever stopped or stopped, so I think he was bumping into either me or Vallos somewhere.

"And the Lord - defeated Non, and left the other demons, and also overthrew the debacle that Istrum tried to lead. I must say, it's brilliant."

Gardinis said that much and then said, "Have you thought about the spiritual world after the breakdown he wanted?" He asks.

That 's-- I don't know. Living consciousness affects the Spirit. If fear of death and mourning for the dead formed the way of the Underworld, what would happen if Rungard and the moon were extinguished?

"There's a chance that the underworld will be ruined too late."

Besides... there's a good chance that the border gates will be involved and affect the demonic world.

To my answer, Gardinis nodded.

"As long as there is a sense of self even in such a place, we can think. Not to mention, it's your own scattered seeds here. But if everything goes to nothing, yeah. In that sense, I owe you."

Is that... perseverance through your way of life as a demon? If you say it sounds like Gardinis.

"So you want to help me?

I don't think so.

The face of solitary confinement... rather than wanting to negotiate, he wanted to talk to me because of the peace of his compatriots and the feelings left in this world, but... in the case of Gardinis, don't you owe me? It seems to be the reason.

I didn't mention my own sins... but I don't think that means I'm going to face them. Because when I said the word "scattered seed" earlier, the blue and white flames around me swayed.

It is the reaction and magic wavelength that we saw when the others were there. If you think about Gardinis because of his personality... he probably won't tell anyone else what would be good if he only knew...

"... ok"

Yes, when I answer, Gardinis makes his expression serious and looks straight at me and nods. I don't talk about it, but I don't do anything to teach or negotiate around it?... Let's just think of it as the first answer from Gardinis.

So - are there survivors about the families that Gardinis has grasped? Do you know where to meet? Let's ask about the neighborhood.
