Boundary Labyrinth and the Foreign Magician

"My name is Effileto, the witch-head who keeps the festival."

A woman in possession of a treasure comes to name and greet her name and title. Following Effileto, the faces who were the lords of the Gimmel tribe have introduced themselves and greeted them.

Rapshem and the others have told us some things, but we also say hello by passing on our names and titles.

"I really appreciate your help this time"

"Together, I would like to thank you on behalf of the Gimmels"

That's what Effileto and the others said, he did his hand around his chest, closed his eyes, and showed polite respect. It sounds like a gimmel salute or something.

That's why we moved to the biggest building in the settlement - the rally point, where we talked first.

Sharing information and checking the current situation. And then we'll talk about the future. He is also connected to King Serkeft in King Neschfel's capital and to Termwilds because he will also be involved in the topic of future national transportation.

"I'd like to give a clan to celebrate the return of the treasure and a new exchange for a welcoming...... well, let's have a discussion first and get ready in the meantime"

So. There is no mistake that it was a sudden visit.

When he settled down at the rally point, the faces of the Gimmels made tea for him to entertain.

What is the scent of roasted herbs that can be picked in the dense forest... similar to broomstick tea, is it? Easy to drink with a calming flavour. It seems to make me feel better.

"With Lord Theodore's help, I've had a plan since I contacted everyone in the settlement."

"You don't know what happens when you spend time discovering and collecting treasures."

"When it comes to fighting the Queen, it's not the result of what we agreed to do."

As the Rapshems said, Effileto smiled.

"I think it was a good decision. I apologize for the consequence that you just sent me to such a dangerous battlefield..."

"No, so I'm glad to see Lord Theodore and Prince Oran."

Rapshem answers Effileto's words.

"I also heard you interact less with the outside."

"It is true that we live in a land away from other races to keep Gimmel's eyes open… not that we are forbidden to interact more externally. I lost track of it, but it was also communicated between us about why."

The graves stated the reason in the murals... but they still have the legacy that more children do not have a third eye after generations of mixing up too much blood with other races in the Gimmel settlements. Still, as Effileto and the others, you don't intend to tie up that much freedom?

"The spirits are sad about repression because they prefer freedom, and it's hard to be too cramped for us."

The ancients of the Gimmels say and nod at each other. There's a distance from Neschfel, and he's had a third eye scared, because it's true, but in any case, the Gimmels themselves don't seem that closed.

It's because there's nothing like those codes that the Rapshems have led us this far.

"Keeping our eyes and traditions on top of each other… It's hard to strike that balance, but that's something we shouldn't just think about, we should all think about. And it's been happening for generations, so I don't know what to do."

That's what Effileto says and gives him a grin. That's for sure. I know exactly how that happens and why.

"Learning from past failures and making up our minds… we want to do the same."

"Indeed."

Stefania and Elena are nodding across the monitor.

Everyone in Forestania and Termwilds, the faces accompanying them and the spirits at the rally point are smiling at the words of Effileto and the exchange between Stefania and Elena. Hmm.

"I came to the settlement and listened to you and relieved myself of everything"

"I'm glad you said that. There were parts of it that were lost, but I want to tell you more about Queen Jerrah."

Right. Maybe it's a good idea to have a lantern look at the actual battle.

Then… I would also like to ask Effileto his views on the Queen's treasure. I was just able to talk about the current situation and the future of the Gimmels, and I'm going to change the subject from Queen Jerrah to something about the treasure.

She's listening to the Queen's jewels, so when she actually takes them out and shows them, Effileto and the ancients peek into the jewels with interest.

"The wavelengths of color and magic are different from our treasures."

"But... you don't have a bad impression. Do you call it calm"

You have the impression that the queen's jewel, which wraps a blurry pale glow, wraps a serene magic as ever.

"As for the jewels... if it's good on a personal note..."

And, Effileto talks to me about the Queen's jewels in advance.

"Impressions are not dangerous, I think. It's just... if Queen Jerrah entrusted it to Theodore, we can't study how to keep it or use it."

Indeed. From Queen Jerrah's point of view, you wouldn't want that.

"As for the treasure… it is something that exerts its power by means of prayer through rituals, so it is not like the magic props that are utilized by means of rituals"

"If you're going to use it in the form of rituals, it sounds good to think about it myself."

Answer Efileto's words with a few ideas.

The history of the queen, her nature as a spirit, her side as a samurai, etc... it seems good to think about the area and consider the forms of prayer and rituals. You don't have to give me information about the secrets of the Gimmels.

Even though it's not so closed, it seems problematic for me to show my secrets to outsiders.

Effileto smiles when he also tells them of his worries around it.

"Thank you for your concern. There are certain aspects of the secret... but you can cooperate if you don't have the support."

Oh. Thank God for that. Even if it's not a secret ritual, we can make the ritual magic of the jewels more advanced by understanding the form of the rituals of the Gimmels.

Regarding the Queen's jewels, I own them and they seem fine. When it comes to exchanges between countries, there seems to be no problem when we talk about it earlier.

"The remaining problem is the stray clan expelled from the ancient kingdom, is it"

Prince Oran says,

"What we need to tell you about it is coming up as a magical interrogation report."

And it was Prince Josiah who said that as he looked through the report.

"Hi, Imrod and the others ran off against the intentions of the clan and seemed to be acting on their own"

"Then... you could ask for friendship."

"Because of what happened in the ancient kingdom... I can't help it now. I can't help but spark past causes over time."

Prince Oran and Effileto respond quietly. King Serkeft and Prince Oran, Effileto and the ancients had promised to raise the country and the tribe to work together. Well, yeah. As far as Neschfel and Gimmel are concerned right now, the area seems fine.

Later, with regard to future national transportation, the conversation will gather in the direction of setting up a transfer gate as well. Without an agreement between the two sides, the transfer gates wouldn't work either. You just have to look at the situation and manage it, and we just want to take into account the situation of the Gimmels.
