Boundary Labyrinth and the Foreign Magician

"See you, Cadkeus, Valor. Can I ask you a favor?

Keeping the camouflage field in place, Cadkeus and Valor nodded, respectively, as they packed a little distance to the camp.

Let's get started. Intelligence undercover inside the camp. The aim is to determine the reasons for their actions.

That's why I'm going out on deck with Cadkeus and Valor. Valor also... supports Cadkeus in his departure, even if he doesn't infiltrate.

"Let's get started"

That said, Valor wraps up the camouflage field. He greeted Wiz and Uroboros, Nemea and Capella with each face of a magical biology group such as Apirasia in mind.

That's how Cadkeus nodded again and replied, trying to get caught on Barroll's leg and flying off the deck.

It descends at a slow rate without sound with Cadkeus into the mountain that spreads beneath his eyes.

That's how it descended to the mountain skin, and when Cadkeus changed to the same texture as the ground, he went on camping. I could have been a bird, but I don't know the ecosystem around here. That's why we sometimes give out unexpected boroughs if we simulate them to animals, so we got Valor to support us until we got off the deck to the ground.

When Barroll sees Cadkeus leave, he floats right up with the camouflage field maintained.

"Mm. Welcome back."

And, Sheila said beyond the crystal plate that Tiers had, Valor was also slowly opening and closing the eye lid to return a greeting. Even though Illumhilt laughs at the way it looks.

"Shall we go back to the bridge? I'll concentrate on controlling Cadkeus, but Wiz will also help me, so I think I can replicate the situation in the lantern in parallel with modeling with earthly magic."

"That's... that's good to know"

Oldia smiles at my words. Mallane lent me a lantern just because it would help.

That's why I'm going to settle down on the bridge and do a five-sense link with Cadkeus.

Cadkeus spreads thinly as he reproduces the texture of the ground and is on the move to slip towards the camp.

Some soldiers on the lookout - don't look too high. I can't help but notice that watching for proximity from a distance is the normal move, but in Cadkeus's case, you don't notice it even if you're watching, and it's completely silent on the move. Spend the soldiers on the lookout and slide into the shadow of the shaded tent.

First of all - there are times when you can find this place. Let Cadkeus dive in just a little from the gap between the ground and the tent to check inside the tent.

... you have sleeping bags lined up. It looks like the soldiers are sleeping here, and this is not the place to be... let's count the number of beds that are housed in the tent, etc. So you can see the size of the soldiers who are camping, and so on.

"This is where the soldiers sleep," he said.

While reflecting a phantom that reproduces Cadkeus' vision, he reproduces the beds and their number on the earthly magic model. If you see the contents of the tent, go to the next tent.

"This one's in the food pantry... this one's in the armory"

"Looks like the gear is also supposed to behave in the mountains."

Grace sees it and says:

Right. He also seems to be bringing in bows and spears so that he can handle various situations, but I can see him bringing in more mountain swords, tweezers and axes. Are forests spreading to low altitudes, and will these equipment be necessary in order for logging to proceed?

At higher altitudes, plants become sparse, so logging is not necessary.

That's how we figure out the size of the troops, the equipment, the amount of food stored, etc. Fate is - the center of the camp, a tent with a flagpole at the entrance. It would be the place if we were to issue an order or hold a meeting.

I put it behind me, even if I knew it was my destiny, because I see the possibility of sticking to that place.

Is it for the commander next door or does he seem to have a personal tent in place? They keep an eye out, too, so if you're going to look into it in mind, it'll still be around here.

If you peek inside like that... Can I call you an officer there? The sight of the soldiers' superiors face-to-face jumps in.

I can see you dressed in clothing and gear better than the soldiers out there. I don't know the chain of command of the Royal Neschfel Army, but it's the same series of equipment, so I guess it still belongs to positions such as commanders and officers.

Now... it looks like we're just having a discussion after the soldiers report.

"Well, it looks like we could cut off a search nearby."

"If you let so many people in and there was nothing there, would it be off to the north middle belly?"

"With higher elevations and mountain depths, you're expected to be more dangerous than you are now. There are fewer demons, and animals run away from the other side because this one has more heads... it's hard to keep up with all the cold weather and poor scaffolding"

and work out future policies as the officers look at the map spread out on the table. I stretched Cadkeus along the inside of the tent and looked from the top...... oh. This is good. I can see a diagram written on a rough map of the mountain, like the route I've searched so far.

"That's good. I was looking for this information."

It's not the same reason they're here, but in some cases it's the information they're going to need. It is gratifying that this information was obtained at an early stage.

Create a new model separate from the overall model to reproduce the information on the map.

Later… check the tent around the commander or his deputy to find order documents, etc. from the center of Neshfel or their superiors, or explore the purpose from the conversation.

In any case, I'm definitely looking for something from the conversation earlier.

"But... if the detachment continues, the soldiers will learn to work hard."

"Training is a combined search, but if it's a waste of time, it does involve morale, too. Don't forget to work for them."

"Ha."

The person in the highest position in this is - you're a relatively young figure among the officers. Grey hair on brown skin. He's a tough looking figure, polite in tone and at the waist, but a strong in will. As for my first impression...... I guess some of the people I know look a little like Elliot,

"But I also hear that high altitudes are dangerous, but again, or not so much, is it?

"Right. According to those familiar with the mountains, the higher they go, the freezer they become, and the more likely they are to disturb their breath. Do you think the heavens will refuse the visit of the living?"

"I see...... Not sure if there is one or not - you can't risk putting the soldiers in jail. Perhaps it's a good idea to look around and leave the soldiers."

And a commander who says while conceiving with a serious look.

"But Your Highness. If you fail to fulfill your royal life..."

"Ha. That's why I volunteered as commander. Mandate to exclude dangers that are more uncertain than the original. If I am royal, you will not be held accountable if I fail. I understand that His Majesty agreed to this because he knew what was going on around here."

And the commander answers with a laugh of fun.

... I see. From this mouthful of mouth it is still the Duobelis denomination teasing, did you get any information from somewhere? He said that he was uncertain, but that there might be a patriarchal training ground around it, because the priests see it and do it.

Even though information from Gardinis only tells us that we are going to study in the South, we have not informed the members of the Order of anything more. There might be something like a legacy, because it's a hopeful observation of those who have been driven.

"Your Highness..."

The generals seemed to feel in the words of the prince, a man called His Highness.

"But if you say so, even we will want results."

"Don't worry too much, don't force it. Soldiers have nothing to do with that."

"Let's remember the liver."

and the martial officers left the issuing station to see the situation. Later - definitive words or proof that what you are looking for is Gardinis entanglement... I wish I had backing.
