Boundary Labyrinth and the Foreign Magician

The lake is called a glacial lake, and the glaciers flowing in from the valley of the high peaks became lakes as they were.

Glacier lakes seem to be characterised by very low water temperatures even in the summer, as glaciers have melted and become lakes. Not to mention in the winter, it's like a world of white and blue ice. Every iceberg that would have flowed into the lake is frozen, with a sight a little unseen elsewhere.

As for Lavine and Teal, is it a sight that attracts my heart, or I saw it over the monitor and raised my voice.

"If it was summer, the ice on the lake would melt and it would have been a different sight again."

According to material received from Princess Adriana, when the kingdom of Belliondola was alive, there were adventurers who visited the area near the lake in the summer and the notebook was left behind. Says the lake reflected the light like a mirror and it was stunning, he wrote.

Although the lake can't be caught off guard because of the proximity of the magic accumulation, it must be a sight to behold.

That's how it goes, and eventually we see the coordinates we're after. It seems that the characteristic place was decided as the meeting place, but...

"Oh, there it is"

"Sure, it's easy to understand."

It is Osgrave, who nods as he looks at the monitor.

In the coniferous forest...... I could see a large white mass pounding. It's a big rock, so it's easy to understand as a landmark.

Plants wouldn't be able to grow in rocks either, and it would have been easier to understand if the snow had melted.

Compared to other meeting places, it's easy to understand... Bellion Dora is also falling, so there's no need for adventurers to visit... even if it's okay to be somewhat conspicuous. It does have convenience.

The very roots of that rocky mountain have been chosen as a meeting place, well.

"Well, let's go and install it if there's no problem while checking the surrounding conditions"

"Ready to descend"

It is a snort Tesdiros. Right. Let's check the peripheral life response, and if there's no problem, we'll wrap up the cover-up field and descend.

I wonder if there's anything in the peripheral life response that bothers me. Although wildlife and demonic reactions can be seen.

There are demonic life reactions under the ice in the lake... well, there's a distance to the rendezvous point, and of course, the magic equipment makes it hard for us to detect ourselves.

There won't be anything like getting a little bit out of it, so it looks fine first.

That's why I checked the surrounding situation, and with the Tesdiros and the others, I go out to the deck and descend.

A dry, cold wind strokes my cheeks. The spirits have some rough vibes. I don't know if it is reflected in the character of the spirits because of the harsh environment.

Familiar spirits have a more intimate atmosphere... but because such places are good places to live, the spirits' personalities can also be moderate accordingly.

Either way, the spirits don't seem to recognize us because we're wrapping up a field of cover-up.

Slowly descend, paying attention to ambient movements as they are. The meeting place is not on a rock, but fundamental, so you should plant magic equipment there. The rock itself is marked, so you don't have to bother to plant it in a prominent place.

Except for the snow, assimilate it to the surroundings, implant the magic props, and cover the snow back to normal again, he said. All right. That's good.

"Now you've buried all the magic tools in every place."

"Right. A paragraph for the first time, I guess."

I nod at Oldia with a slightly relieved smile.

"... Theodore. Give me that."

and Tesdiros pointing between the trees. If you look over there......

"This is-"

I could see what seemed to be people's footprints on the snow.

Firstly, confirm the ambient life response on both the ground and from the perspective of the Sirius. That sounds like a reaction... it's not around.

We leave no trace of ourselves and travel nearby wrapped around the field to avoid being understood from our surroundings. I'll check your footprints.

The snow itself does not seem to be that high, and the snow is something that has frozen over time. If this was fresh snow, I could tell it was new, but in this case... it's hard to tell what time the footprints were on. It's not very new, though it looks like.

"Traces of shoes, right? Not of the beast."

"... not a footprint that has followed from elsewhere,"

Ozgrieve frowns and Oldia clouds her expression too. Yeah, there's a lot going on in the footprints, but this is presumably due to shoes, not animals'. Oldia is right, there are pompous footprints on the snow, and I can't tell where I've been walking from. Where could the Lord of the Footprints have walked?

"It's a meeting place, and it sounds good to think it's almost definitely by demons. And this... the footprints look pretty tiny."

It is somewhat hard to tell because it is a footprint that has crushed frozen snow from perimeter to perimeter...... I wonder if the shoes are small in size and relatively light in weight.

"Mmm."

I'm a little lost, but I'll try to put some footprints on the snow, too. By asking Wiz to do a comparative analysis, we will determine the general physical data of the Lord of the Footprints. Although it is only a reference value because it would not mean that the snow condition is exactly the same as when the footprint was attached.

Explaining so, everyone was nodding as they were convinced.

"Fly through the sky and someone will come... right. If you're here to see what's going on at the rendezvous point, does that mean you flew in from that direction and landed?

I also looked at the condition of the shoe marks, what landing they made from which direction, and what happened when they flew away. I would also like to analyze the area carefully. Keep a good memory of the state of the snow surface.

I myself should be able to do comparative analysis by making a flying motion. Fix my footprints as well as possible with water magic just in case.

"Shall we look around a little bit more and see if there are any other footprints left"

When I said that, I nodded at the faces that were accompanying me. The perimeter alert is also on the Sirius, so let's have a look at the vital response and be alert. They're likely to fly in the sky, so we need to be careful around there, too.

That's how... I did a survey around the rock for a while. The footprints were left in about two other places, but they look like the same footprints. You let the magic flow and let Wiz remember the exact mould, so all you have to do is bring this back and analyze it. It seems that the first thing to do on this occasion will be done.

The same is true elsewhere, but since I installed the monument I have stayed a bit to see if the change will happen before moving. I intend to trample on that again this time, but in the meantime it would be a good idea to proceed with the analysis.

That's why I went back to the Sirius with everyone.

"The demon who is using this place as a meeting place, I'm sure of it."

'You're just concerned about the relatively small footprint. Child Demon, is it'

Esnatura says a little worried. Right. The analysis hasn't been done yet, but it's likely that it's a child.

Even if the demons are here to see how things are going, there will be circumstances for each of their families, and there is no reason to interfere in their actions as this is the meeting place. You're acting in secrecy so that the demons don't have much to do with their situation.

But... that would be the demon of the child. Are you going to think about the background? Especially after Istrum betrayed Vallos. I'm just curious to hear about the characteristics of the second-generation demon child.

"We have eyes on the surveillance, so maybe we need to keep the transfer magic team."

"So you can come back to this place again if you need to."

"Yeah, it's not like I'm gonna search and discover or know what's going on."

Answer the words of Osgrave. I don't know when I'm coming next, but I'm staying here forever. That's not how it works. If you leave the Forwarding Magic Formation in that regard... you can handle it in detail if you need it.
