Boundary Labyrinth and the Foreign Magician

Outside 1429, the planned location for the field training...

As for Byron's training in action... Rutger also told me about his plans for the future, starting with the exorcism of demons in the neighborhood of the city and along the streets, and moving in the direction of training while camping a little further away if things were going well there.

"It's a camp, but specifically... we're planning to head near the underground great cavity."

"Is it a large underground cavity? I've heard rumors."

That's a big cave within the Kingdom of Drafdenia. Demons on or near the surface are not that strong, and adventurers may enter shallow hierarchies to perform demonic exorcisms.

It's a fairly deep story, so it hasn't come to a full clarification. Even in the BFO, since my knowledge of the Great Cave was only to the extent that I generally grew hairs, the interior of the Great Cavity in the BFO after the layers that have actually been found is made in my imagination.

The reason why exploration doesn't go very far is because… there is little in return for the danger of going deep. It doesn't change structure like a labyrinth... but it doesn't have systematic support like return points or zoning transfers.

It's hard to dive deep for that matter. If we are to explore the untouched layers, we want to make room for supplies such as food and water, and safety margins must be sufficiently secured. Natural structures are also at risk of collapse.

If outside damage is suppressed simply by exorcising demons near the superficial layer, there is also a weak point in getting that far and stepping deep.

That's why I'm talking about not aiming for a complete breakthrough, and I don't plan on doing so, although as a Drafdenian kingdom it's the front line base that I keep.

Rutger also explained the situation in recent years near the great cavity.

'- So there may be a demonic crusade near the superficial layer of the great cavity. Of course, this is not the case if an anomaly is reported at a front-line base or at an observatory built inside'.

"Observatory… it was also difficult for the ancestors of the Kingdom of Drafdenia"

'That's what I'm asking. There are parts that fit in and parts that don't, so we have secured the portions that are easy to control as bridgeheads… we have heard that after reinforcement and maintenance like pits, we have led to the stationing of observation teams'

And, Rutger. The superficial layer is inhabited by relatively small demons... especially since the goblins are also used as root castles, which is bad at the beginning and end of the day.

"Originally goblins live in caves...... I was wondering if it would be difficult to eradicate it in places like that because it breeds quickly."

'Right. I have also participated in several crusades, but there have been many occasions where I find it difficult to chase them because they disperse into small gaps and holes in the great cavity and escape'

There are many detours, so if you leave the goblin unattended, you will come to blackmail and so on with wisdom. In the end, the damage to the Goblin is suppressed by setting up front-line bases and observatories and carrying out a serious crusade with the help of adventurers.

"In the case of goblins, mutant species and superior species rarely emerge unless the herd grows. Sometimes a regular crusade is enough to deal with it first."

'Well, that's a strange thing. In the case of people, talent has nothing to do with luxury, and the emergence of superior species does not mean that the herd will luxury, because...'

"You've read the theory in the literature that it's said to be causal because there are parts of the species itself called goblins that are close to fairy species and spirits about those properties."

When I say that, Rutger says' ho ho ho 'and he shows interest in the topic.

I've read books that say that with more power, individuals will emerge leading to superior species, mutant species… like a flock of goblins forming a kind of spiritual world.

Mystical Fountain. volcanic zones. Water spirits and fire spirits are active in such places, and such lands make it easier for spiritual activities to become active and higher spirits to emerge. If there are any cuts or events that would gather faith, it would be even more unfortunate.

Or... If awe or faith affects the Spirit, I could tell Goblin the same thing... A flock of goblins with a losing habit will lose confidence and weaken, and victorious flocks on several occasions, on the contrary, will be able to have the same situation as the basement where they become more concerned or gather respect and trust in their leaders to produce high-ranking spirits.

Goblins themselves are quite a race of wisdom, so confidence and complacency will continue to strengthen them.

Exceptionally, an empty nest of magic buildup or other enhancements due to external factors are possible... this would be quite a rare case. Even without the Lord of Magic Storage, the Rear Cauldron is solidifying its surroundings, so goblins enter there only if they are blessed with extra luck.

Most… Although it seems to normalize in the demonic world and increase the risk of a species called goblins by a few steps.

If the damage is being held back by crusading the goblins anyway, that's not good enough.

When I spoke to Rutger about the contents of those literature and my views, I was listening to them with a serious look on my face.

'I see. Considering that, the habitat of goblins in the Great Sky Cavity is also quite limited. You can safely say that we crusade from the top and are caught between us and the demons of the middle class. "

"Although it is only literature and my view. If the middle-level demon is a strong opponent, it's difficult to expand Goblin's power as it stands."

Then the demon in the middle class, I'm just curious to say. When I asked about the area, it seems that there are many species that hate sunlight, so they don't want to come out to the upper level very much. Although the information at the lower level is almost unknown.

"Well, training in the field is going to be planned as far as we can imagine."

'Right. It's in action, but it's only training.'

I also asked about demons coming out on and around the surface... well sure, that sounds like a lot of low-risk little demons. Retracting the crusade for that matter is likely to increase the number of individuals, so it could be a great way to earn adventurers, knights, and train soldiers in action.

That's why they're actually going to tell me again with a progress report on the area when the training is scheduled for the great cavity.

They also finished their training while they were doing so, and they also let me say hello to both Byron lightly.

'We're out of time. Then, congratulations on this one. I am delighted to hear that the borderline public are staying healthy unchanged'

Byron, reflected on the crystal plate, gave me words of blessing, even as he greeted me that way in a slightly nervous manner.

"Thank you. Lord Byron seems magnificent and above all. I see you've worked out pretty well."

'Not yet, though. I want to refine not to betray my father's feelings.'

Looks like Byron's nervousness got a little loose when I laughed and responded. He was a Byron who laughed lightly, but from the way he told me to bite him, I felt the word was from the heart.

I got an apology, and I'm convinced about the measures that followed, and I accept that. I'm not in a position to speak out equally about policies, and I don't want to... I hope you keep going in the right direction.

That's how Rutger, Byron and I greet each other and cut off communication. They're going to talk to my dads after this. Byron and Darryl seem inspired by what they're trying to do with each other. Wouldn't greeting over the crystal plate also affect us both?
