Boundary Labyrinth and the Foreign Magician

Ask the Fangonoids to show you inside while they welcome you. I wonder if there are more mushroom houses and mushrooms growing than before when I came here.

I also saw that the mushrooms for the tea that I had been given this last drink were well grown.

"You have a lot of mushrooms in interesting shapes..."

"The shades are beautiful inside."

Ludovia smiles and responds when Xandrius says as he looks around. The faces of his family also seemed impressed across the monitor, and the fangonoids were smiling at the simple reaction.

"Those mushrooms are the ingredients of medicine. Cultivate and process elsewhere. It's used as a material for wounds and antidotes."

Bolkeor explains the inside equipment, purpose, etc. The inside of the fangonoid naturally specializes for fangonoids and mushrooms.

It is difficult to say comfortable in terms of humidity and temperature for non-clan people... but the faces that accompany me also have the protection of the four Spirit Kings, and there is no particular problem.

Beyond the mushroom houses - you can see a mushroom that's huge and looks up. Fangonoids, ancestors. A tree of wisdom that amasses memories, knowledge.

"Is that what it is?

"Yep. Of the Fangonoids... it's a tree of wisdom"

When Zerbel asked, the fangonoids nodded. Zerbel nods to the words of the fangonoids and returns his gaze to the tree of wisdom.

The fangonoids each have their own personality and personality, and they look like individuals because they are independent... but the actual way they are is a little different from ours.

The mushroom-forming fungus forms a form to create a network like brain cells to form a personality. It is the collection of fungi that live inside the mushroom, the structure, that is the body of the fungonoid, which forms the personality of the whole fungus.

Well... the part of the mushroom that plays an important role in maintaining memory, personality, structure, etc. seems to be building something like a core inside the mushroom body and protecting it there, so what normal creatures call a circulatory system that is necessary for brain and life support is simulated, but built.

You're building a fungus network that has a reduced importance around the critical functions of those centers - for example, motor functions.

It seems that thinking ability, memory, and personality are the most important things for fangonoids, and if they're safe there, they can regenerate other parts.

And the tree of wisdom...... is a mushroom made by the same type of fungus as the Fangonoid tribe. Unlike normal, however, there is no personal personality there. It acts like an external storage device that utilizes the pedigree characteristics of fangonoids.

Volkeor told me that he also possesses maintenance and management functions on his own... but usually takes care of the entire Fangonoid tribe.

But, well, I don't seem to have made any explicit statements, but that doesn't seem to be the only role the Tree of Wisdom plays. Even if the independent Fangonoids are in danger, they can create the Fangonoids operating outside of the Tree of Wisdom... I once told Bolkeor what I had in mind: "Heh. That's part of the Fangonoid clan's secret, isn't it? I hope it's confidential," he said with a laugh like that.

I also responded "OK" without asking what I had gotten into... but I'm guessing that for the Fangonoids, the whole race also serves as a backup when in crisis.

Even if we can build new externally active fungonoids from the tree of wisdom alone, I guess that means a newborn clan, not an existing one who was there before... but nevertheless takes over the knowledge and memory of the entire race.

So with the activity body and the tree of wisdom. If one of them survives, the Fangonoids will continue into the future.

I wonder if the tree of wisdom is also meant to gather knowledge from the past and pass it on to future generations, but it also means wisdom for survival for the Fangonoids.

There is a division of roles, but the activity body, the wisdom tree, and the Fangonoid tribe… all fit together.

Eventually we will come before the tree of wisdom.

"I wonder what it looks like to Lucrain. Hehe, that's amazing."

"You're really on a big tree-like scale. Lady Lucrain."

It is Esnatura, who looks up at the tree of wisdom and speaks with a smile to Lucrain in her arms, and Fiorette, who breaks her expression to such an appearance. Lucrain also looked at the great tree and raised his voice a little.

Well, that's why I need to see Queen Celia's memory quickly. In the meantime, they prepare mushroom tea, etc.

"Celia's memory... I'm interested in seeing your friends from the fangonoids."

She is Queen Meggiastra, who says so and nods quietly as she watches the fangonoids begin to prepare for the regeneration of memory from the Tree of Wisdom.

The fangonoids surround the tree of wisdom and bury their bodies on the ground. They're stretching mycelium underground to connect with the tree of wisdom. We can extract knowledge and memories from it, and let others see and hear it by means of a dedicated technique.

"So let's get started."

That's what Bolkeor expands his magic circle. The tree of wisdom was wrapped in a blurry glow...... that's how a phantom was reflected around him.

In the woods where I once lived with fangonoids different from today's generation - in the old Fangonoids. That's the first sight that was shown.

The lives of the Fangonoids are and always have been the same. They've lived relaxed while growing mushrooms in the woods.

Because the fangonoids are a magically good species, they use surgical formulas to promote mushroom growth, to maintain the environment… to secure and create fungal beds suitable for cultivation… and so on.

You can see that in your old memories.

There - two figures from outside the inside show themselves through the woods. It is a woman of the Diabolos tribe and the personified figure of Queen Meggiastra.

"Oh, Your Majesty Celia, was that you, Lord Meggiastra?"

Queen Celia at the time and... Queen Meggiastra before she became Demon King. Queen Meggiastra and the Fangonoids already seemed familiar at the time.

"I've had her on her back all the way up. Thanks to you, we arrived early."

"Mm-hmm. He seemed to need a rush, so I let him work with me"

She is Queen Celia, who laughs joyfully, and Queen Meggiastra, who snorts at the words. As for the Fangonoids, it's a secret, except for some in the demonic kingdom. Queen Celia, the Demon King, is convinced or natural to know, but Queen Meghiastra was also informed at the time… either because of her trust in Queen Meghiastra, or because some parts were regarded as the next Demon King.

"I didn't know you needed a rush... You can't be too relaxed and welcoming. What is it for?

When one of the Fangonoids asked, Queen Celia said with a serious look.

"Right. I was wondering if you could consult me on effective means to repel the demons of the sea."

The look on the faces of the Fangonoids becomes serious too when it comes to the sea demons. There are many powerful individuals in the Sea of Demons. It is still positioned as a dangerous place where free navigation is not possible.

I understand that if it were to be such a repelling of sea demons, both the fangonoids and Queen Celia would have a serious look.

You guessed that it wasn't easy to stand talked about, and the fangonoids said, "Let me hear more about it. Please come this way," she led Queen Celia to the assembly hall.
