Boundary Labyrinth and the Foreign Magician

As King Serkeft and his replacement Heavy Town gathered information about the bust figures, there was testimony. After all, the South seems to be involved, and information tends to be concentrated when it heads south from the Wang Capital and the Royal Palace.

Some testified that they had heard the name, and others saw a scene where several people from the bust were together.

Based on that information, we are able to follow footsteps in part by proceeding to ask from yet another person. Thank you, brother Wang and I seem to be leaving Wang Capital at the same time. Take back the treasures of the Gimel tribe, then head south again, should we see?

The main points of those sightings, such as the name, location, timing, situation and destination, were itemized and discussed on paper.

It is not strange that there are people in the same kingdom of Neschfel who know them. Based on the background and attitude of the person, it also appears that there are no collaborators in the theft case among those testifying so far.

Those who testified also… not a faction close to the Special King's brother, but a tendency to concentrate more on martial officers such as knights and soldiers than on political relations. This is because many of the eyewitnesses were during stops at martial arts facilities or in situations where they were inspecting the entire city.

Looks like some people in the bust are civilians who have positions as martial arts officers or perhaps close to adventurers.

Although Neschfel doesn't have an adventurer system because he's geographically cut off from other countries, some people seem to make a living hunting demons and selling materials.

"- But Raneb is not forming a political faction to reinforce his authority, nor is he showing any moves that would bring him closer to leading military figures"

King Serkeft opens his mouth as he looks at the paper that gathers the sightings. You don't see any suspicious moves in the royal palace when it comes to Laneb, the king's brother? At least, usually.

"I thought if I worked around it, it would be my father's knowledge."

"Sure. Are you choosing ways or connections that are hard to be noticed because you are seriously planning something..."

"If these people aren't intentional candidates, I think they'll be a little more random. So I can't say for sure that it's based on anyone's intentions."

"Will it be random,"

When I said that, King Serkeft was nodding with his hands on his chin. Testimony doesn't come out conclusive because that's how we intentionally keep the motion from being detected.

"Sure... if you're not aware of the neighborhood, it wouldn't be strange to hear a little more about it at this point. A candidate to make it harder to discover. Or did you get a position as a martial officer with that intention from the start..."

Laneb also seemed to meet some of these bust figures in the royal palace, but as a martial officer assigned to a southern city, he seems to be at the end of the line, and there are no verses that the superiors remember more. There are sections in charge as martial arts officers to be seen from the intelligence analysis, not to mention civilians, because they are not in the kind of national circumstances that we are purposefully monitoring.

If you ask in the cities of the South, not the Royal Palace, you will know more......

Whatever the intended candidate was, there was a connection behind them and they had a good plan, so these people could gather to steal the treasures of the Gimmels. Regardless of how far his brother Laneb knew and how involved he was, there's no doubt about the fact that the plan was pretty well worked out.

Did they have prior information about the Gimmel settlement or did they proceed with their own investigation? Multiple people are absent from work as martial officers at the same time, also because of their planning.

Explaining those thoughts, they were conceived with a serious look together.

"If there was information in advance, is it literature on the part of the Kingdom of Neschfel? Or is there someone outside the settlement who knows the inside of the Gimmel tribe..."

Rapshem conceives with a serious look as he hands on his jaw.

"As for the Gimmels, there are spiritual festivals, and some of them touch their existence with anecdotes and literature. When it comes to ancient documents… I can't say much because I'm not familiar with it, but there are books like that in the Royal Castle."

Prince Oran answers.

"Even with ancient documents, it's hard to cover all of them. I'm sure it depends on luck and ideas whether you can find what you need or help. '

Rosemary had leaked that sentiment to Prince Oran's words.

"If it was an opportunity to touch ancient documents, Laneb would have been blessed in that regard. Although we said it was not a good idea to strengthen real power in national politics and military relations because he is the king's brother. That's why I said that I would invest in research fields like deciphering ancient documents and tying up history books..."

If we mean weighing rules, traditions, isn't the stance of daring away from power a reasonable place? In the process, I knew some kind of secret and had ambition, because it could be possible, and I can imagine that I had said so publicly to my surroundings as a disguise.

"But then you're in trouble. When there is a verse that does not affect the royal palace and is moving to avoid discovery, no information will come out unless we head to the site later,"

"If anyone with access to the center seemed to be able to consolidate the scaffolding first, it's not all bad."

The Chancellor tells King Serkeft. Sure, around here.

"If you're going on the ground, some of the airships we've been on. I was wondering if we could get there in a shorter time than we could on land."

At the same time, tell them there are magic tools to keep in touch. It is also possible to send in a martial officer... well, after actually going on the ground, we will need to see if the southern city is militarily controlled by Raneb.

"For a short time, how much?

"Perhaps… some moments if the distance on the map"

When answered, King Serkeft shows surprise, but immediately brings his expression back to something serious and turns his mind around.

"Even if someone is making a disturbing move and turning around in the back... if we can get to the ground at that speed, we might be able to respond and take advantage."

"Even if we consider the possibility that we are conducting experiments, rituals, etc., we are sure that we should proceed quickly with the response."

You can find out what the purpose and truth is after you've discovered and secured the person responsible for the theft. Even if there's some kind of plan, I think it's the Gimmels' treasure that's in the liver, and the important thing is to take it back.

Therefore, the conversation proceeds in the direction of taking advantage of the fact that there is an airship and going to the field.

"If you'll allow me, I'd like to go with Lord Theodore."

And, says Prince Oran. A martial officer will accompany him from Neschfel, but considering that Brother Wang may be added to the mastermind, that is not enough. I understand that if we envisage a case where a soldier at the end is cooperating without knowing the circumstances, or a situation where an order is issued to hunt us down, we will need a person of the same or greater character to stop Wang's brother's order.

King Serkeft is headed directly… dangerous in the sense of risk management, so Prince Oran.

"As far as I'm concerned, no problem. We want to move more than just accompany you."

"That's... comforting. Arrange food, equipment, etc. that you will soon need to get ready to leave"

That's settled. Let's say, then, that on the Sirius we move towards the cities of the south of the kingdom of Neschfel.
