Boundary Labyrinth and the Foreign Magician

Move the Sirius closer to Gardinis' lair. In the mountains, a little open near the glacier. Looks like Gardinis picked a position unaffected by the glacier.

"Let's see what's going on around us first, and if no one seems to be around, shall we move?"

Swirl over the sky while telling everyone that. He tells me if there is any life response, that the Tears and the worker bees were watching the monitor carefully, but eventually there was no problem.

So the Sirius stands by a short distance from the entrance to the safe house. Depending on the range of effects of petrification, we have already received Kastrum's detected waves once, so we calculated the distance and position from which the effects of petrification could be extinguished based on the data.

If the aftermath of failing to unseal is to be eliminated by disassembly, even if you are behind me, you have the right distance and position, so we can keep you waiting at those coordinates.

"I wonder if the position of the Sirius is good here. It seems that the petrification is activated by a contractual procedure, so it is necessary to use a combination of spell-based defenses."

"Hmm. Let's check everyone's talisman."

Take my word for it. When Osgrave says it, every single one of them checks the talisman and tells him "no problem".

Taking into account the format of Gardinis' trick, I personally need to defend the face and ship accompanying him even more against the spell… with a charm instead. Decomposition formula and talisman. Combining these two defenses should prevent our petrification.

It's just in the ground... it's activated from inside the safe house, so it's a hassle not to completely erase the effects if it's activated by disassembly or talisman.

Anyway, you're ready downstairs. Let's just say it actually works.

Outside the ship with Osgrave - head to the entrance to the disguised lair.

"Where should I be positioned?

"There's no problem behind it a little bit. It would be an easy position to disguise. However, since it is possible to activate and deploy the decomposition technique, I would like it not to move during work."

"Understood."

That's why Osgrave smoke covers the area so you can't see it from the surroundings, and by changing the color and texture of the surface, you disguise it so that you can't see our working landscape.

Don't let them cover the area at this rate after unsealing it.

Okay. Shall we get started?

Make sure again that it meets the conditions of seal liberation I asked Gardinis, and hold hands toward the part with the entrance - the rock skin. The magic reaction is... a little different from when I was here before. It would be disable if it were a regular procedure.

If it was Gardinis himself, he would put him in a safe house even if he didn't choose a time... so it seems that when someone other than Gardinis would be able to go in, and the procedure that he left behind, could be tried if he got the kind of talent that would be good as a high brother.

Vampires who were deputy ministers of the Order in that regard...... they expected Virginia to grow further. If he had won the battle against us, Virginia might have received goods from inside the safe house.

Or... could it have been inherited by a deputy of the Gardinis clan that he was defeated by Vallos in an insurrection?

Either way, at this time of year, Gardinis should be able to unlock the seal with the technique he taught me.

Take one deep breath and then work out enough magic to develop a magic circle.

At the same time, a disassembly formula, a spell defense formula, was constructed to activate the first unfolded disarming formula while preparing for a seal failure.

The magic of the safe house entrance shows a reaction. I was watching my magic moves with my monocular glasses... apparently it's going to be okay.

It was made to look like a natural rock skin. There the surgical formula acts to dissolve it so that the rock disappears and a cavity appears for entering the interior.

"Okay. I guess I could disarm it for now"

With that said, we continue to develop the following procedure. It is necessary to stop the magic props completely so that the seal is not applied again. This too - the surgical ceremony seems to have worked properly, and the magic reaction that was embedded in the wall near the entrance fades away and disappears.

"Now we're good. Let's look inside."

"It's going well and above all. Let me just keep the disguise. At this scale, I think we can maintain it for the time being."

And, Osgrave responds with a gentle laugh.

"Thank you. Then I guess we'll get to work."

When I say that, the faces of the bridge also nod. The Sirius is approaching the scene, and Tiers, the Apirasian worker bees, are joining Oldia from inside the cover-up field.

Okay, let's take a look inside. The discernment and sealing of the goods left behind by Gardinis. Then you collect it.

The magic light went on automatically when I entered the interior. The interior seems to be built a little more widely in an atmosphere such as a study and laboratory.

Desks and chairs are arranged, and there are instruments and pans like those used for all sorts of magic experiments, and they seem to be able to do the same thing.

Books in the bookcase are of sorcery books and materials. No book seems to have hosted an odd magic reaction. At least you don't seem to have any magic traps. I didn't bother to plant it inside because the entrance trap is intense.

I have a notebook on my desk, but this is my destiny. It summarizes the results of Gardinis' research, etc.

"According to Gardinis' story, that room over there seems to be a vault. Demon props and spells. He said he kept the catalyst, so let's move on from this room."

"Okay. If there seems to be a problem, I'll take care of it."

Oldia snorts at my words. It's the devil's lair. There are no necessary amenities for a normal life, complete with a study and laboratory, and then a vault.

So let's start with the study. I'll take a look at the notebook... but it also describes what I actually saw as Gardinis' handwriting, such as the semidemon's making technique and the attack ceremony of the dark magic system.

The art of drawing strength from the faithful. Conversely, the technique of temporarily empowering and enhancing. Besides, he also studies the engraving magic of tattoos in the kingdom of Neschfel. Sure...... some Duobelis congregation members who have raided used tattoos to use the technique.

Were you putting it into action and experimenting or utilizing it? In any case, it would not be good to spread the word about the contents of this note to the world.

Let me manage these things exactly. First make a box out of dirt magic, and seal your notebook in it and put it in the magic bag you keep from Rosemary.

Next, I will scrutinize every book in the bookcase. None of the magic reactions seem to be possible, but some of the magic books are not available to the world depending on their content.

In other words, the magic books and materials placed contain the kind that Gardinis only collected and called the Evil Law. That's a lot of stuff the world can't get out. It's awkward when it's an explosive or something, not dangerous like that but abused.

"Mmm. Right. Divide by type."

The most important items that need to be sealed with immediate danger, items with handling precautions that are problematic in content and are at risk of being misused, and those that do not see any major problems, should be transported to the ship in three main categories.

Especially if there is nothing wrong with the product, it will be fine if it is properly carried. Store the remaining two species in a box or something, so that they are not confused and transported to the barn.

Amongst the items recovered, should I first put them in the treasure trove of Forestania Castle for what is at issue?

You can hide it deeper into the labyrinth when it comes to dangerous goods. It's just... you should look into the contents. Even if you don't have the opportunity to use your knowledge as it is, it's important that you know the principles in working out countermeasures for these procedures.
