Boundary Labyrinth and the Foreign Magician

"I see. You're a source of water everywhere from high altitude. It's a river that flows around."

Ozgrieve nods compared to footage from high altitudes and stargazers.

"After we're out of the desert zone, so it looks like there's rainfall around here. Still, when there are mountains, it is easy to form an enclosed water source."

In mountain ranges where several alpines converge - glaciers form along the terrain of such mountains, which eventually melt together as they descend from altitude, becoming rivers and volatile waters that flow into various parts of the mountain.

It is undoubtedly tough for people to come, because Gardinis chose the depths of the rather elevated mountains. If you're going to walk to that place, you'll have to climb a cut cliff or go back to the glacier with the crevasse. Both are highly dangerous, or if you can't fly, don't expect to have considerable difficulty getting there.

Although the kingdom of Neschfel seems to be a little further away than this mountain range, the role played by this mountain would be quite significant, as there seems to be a country where the rivers flowing from the mountains are becoming large lakes.

"A source of water for the Bahárzad, when they say... that sounds a little different"

"Right. Bahárzad... the southern rainforest is a source of water if we trace the Great Yuan."

I nod and answer Tesdiros, who looks at the globe and says:

On the globe, you can see the rainforest zone and the great river stretching north from there towards Bahalzad.

Is it the first reassuring part for King Farid that there will be no direct damage to Bahalzad with regard to the trap set by Gardinis?

For Neschfel on the other hand...... that would be an annoying story.

If the trap is activated, the effect on the surrounding tribes is inevitable, even if there is no direct harm to Neschfel. Neighbouring tribal chaos can have an impact on security as well.

Nevertheless, even here, it can be difficult to put in place a policy other than now, without knowing the domestic circumstances of Neschfel.

It doesn't make sense to just arouse danger without knowing anything about the neighborhood, such as being King Neschfel's relationship to the people and surrounding tribes.

For example, if you are looking for a spark or an ambitious person is the leader of Neschfel, it is because the deterioration of relations with the surrounding tribe is where the person wants it.

Therefore, it is this policy to avoid unnecessary contact even when gathering information. Even if it isn't, it could be a spark just because Gardinis left it. Ideally, it will be recovered unknowingly.

That's how I was looking all over while we talked...

"Is that something?

And, Luberencia, who was looking at one of the monitors, tilts her neck, and everyone looks over there.

"Are you camping...?

Oldia says. Right.

Somehow I discovered a group of people camping a little below the middle belly of the mountain on Neschfel's side. I can see a bunch of armed men with tents on a sleek slope.

The Duobelis Church...... isn't it. Equipment is uniform, and flagpoles are raised.

"Flagpole crest...... Is this Neschfel's army?

"The military... we did talk about this mountainous area coming out of Neschfel's reign."

"Looking at the gear... is it for cold protection? It doesn't seem like an expedition."

Stefania said.

Right. If you zoom in on the crystal plate and look at the gear... do you see it's not dressed to attack somewhere?

It's some kind of cold gear made of animal fur. It's definitely equipment that envisages stepping into the mountains.

"You're looking at working in this mountain, obviously."

Ozgrieve frowns at the root.

"If that's the case, the military is here for... training... more than searching and crusading demons, I guess."

It's hard to think of it as training, because it's hard to apply given the surrounding environment.

It is not impossible to use mountains to the extent that they are meant for the spiritual upbringing of soldiers, but it seems to me that it is somewhat inefficient to operate at high altitudes until you have all your cold gear in place, or that crushing is not easy and practical training.

The crusade of demons... could be enough. Do you naturally envisage encountering demons even as an army, or are you properly armed?

"If you're searching - looking for missing persons, looking for escaped criminals - there are a variety of purposes. Of course, they could be looking for a safe house in Gardinis."

Tension runs on everyone's expressions in my words.

'Assuming you're looking for a safe house... where did the information come from?

"Is there a connection somewhere between the kingdom of Neschfel and the Duobelis denomination... Or by capturing the men of the Order who followed in Gardinis' footsteps, we have information... around. '

As Grace tilted her neck, Claudia said as she conceived. The only people in the church knew what Gardinis was doing. If you were involved in a safe house and the information was passed around, is that a possibility? It's not an impossible story.

"Though I've been thinking about countermeasures in anticipation of this situation... I guess that's if I'm sure they're looking for a safe house in Gardinis"

If the target's purpose is unclear, even this one won't determine his attitude. If hunting mountains for people is the goal, it is a snake that contacts persuasion into view, and the mindset of those who sent troops is involved.

"Maybe they recognize it as a safe house... or a training ground, but if they knew about it, they'd be in some trouble."

Tesdiros says. Well, yeah. Even if we're looking for Gardinis' footprint, from Neschfel's point of view, the demon was doing something, so we need to investigate. I can't blame you for that, and I can't do things that weren't after the information was passed on.

"Well, there's a way..."

That explains what I think, Tesdiros nods like he was impressed with "... I see".

"Heh, heh, that sounds like Theodore."

Rosemary shook her shoulders across the feather fan, and Osgrave and Vallos also laughed.

"No. In this case, it would actually work."

"Something interesting to think about."

Everyone seems to admit that it would work in this situation, though oddly.

Fortunately, the safe houses and the camp are quite far apart, so even if we are searching, the discovery will be later in the day.

We needed to respond quickly when it comes to keeping an eye on surveillance. We've come this far with minimal preparation, but once we're back at Termwilds on the transfer, we should have about time to prepare for further action.

That said, we are talking about the assumption that if the purpose of the Neschfel army, which is also camping, is the lair of Gardinis. First of all - right. Will sending Cadkeus into that camp to gather information be the first hand to strike?

On top of that...... if this is a training or a search for people, then you should move along with a little thinking about not even going to Gardinis' lair.

"The world of men is hard."

And Rubelencia says as she arms.

"Well, we need to get on the road properly. I'm not talking about who's at fault at the moment."

So let's pack a little more distance with the camouflage field unfolding... let's just say we look at the gaps and send Cadkeus in. There must be someone who can hit the commander even if he says he's camping. If we can get inside the tent, we might find something that shows purpose.
