Two days after talking to Horn, five days after returning to Edge Village to count, I was on my way to Grandpa's. They want to talk to me about anything. I'd like to ask you a favor... but I can't go wrong. I was supposed to put my shoulder in an elf before this, and as a result, the two noblemen were devastated.

"... I'm not saying it in any way as if it was Noon's fault."

"So, what's a consultation? Grandpa, I can't make a cheap deal, but if it's just a story, I'll listen. '

"Um... Actually..."

Grandpa's consultation was about whether he could let me use my dungeon as a spiritual gate. Rather than a request from Grandpa himself, it seems to be in the form that Grandpa has followed a request from the familiar spirits. No, more than that.

"What is the Spirit Gate?

'Oh, I use it when spirits travel long distances... it's not like your Lord's Dungeon Gate. The distance traveled is smaller than that.'

"? Why do you need to use my dungeon? You know what, you could just set it up there on your own, right?

"That's not so easy."

Grandpa explained that the magic power of the Spirit itself is not that great, so when connecting the Spirit Gate and traveling long distances, it is necessary to replenish the magic from the outside. I mean...

"There's no point in installing the Spirit Gate unless it's a place where magic accumulates..."

'... hold on, Grandpa. So... is the Spirit Gate a known story?

"Well, humans know it there, too."

I mean, something? Does the presence of the Spirit Gate sound like a hustle and bustle that's where magic builds up? I'm not kidding!

'No... Your husband... tell me the story of the Spirit Gate... knowing and... recognizing the Spirit Gate is a different matter... I think...'

"Isn't the Spirit Gate story unknown in detail? Master."

Still, I guess I'll find out by some kind of applause. As far as I'm concerned, you can't risk it.

"Grandpa, how hard do you think I have to hide the dungeon? I told you when I was on the gate flag. My caves and mountain huts were actually dungeons - what an imitation to touch around. Rejected."

'Well, don't panic like that. I'm not saying that spirits will open their gates to this place.'

"... what's going on?

"Actually..."

The story Grandpa told me was like a headache once again.

"It just so happens that Theodoram is coming out... that country can't do anything really busy..."

To summarise what Grandpa told Crowe:

First and foremost, there is the fact that spirits and demons need magic and magic to live. And its magic and its magic vegetables, in this world, are released from mountainous areas and so forth, and descend to the flatlands. The flatlands - the creatures of the flatlands to be precise - absorb a little bit of magic, but the amount absorbed in the flatlands is small relative to the magic released from the mountainous areas, so the released magic diffuses quite far away. Large-scale forests and lake marshes may also emit magic, but the role of Ning (Mizu) Forest is to retain magic and magic vegetables. Nothing. In bare land, magic quickly diffuses and disappears, but it stays on the spot for a long time in a tree-covered place.

However, as trees are cut down by human activity and reshaped into farmland and habitat, more thin places of magic and magic become less habitable for spirits and demons.

It was Theodoram who largely dismissed this as a country.

Almost all the forests in the country were felled and turned into agricultural land, so spirits and demons ceased to inhabit and disappeared. Since then, Theodoram has suffered from securing demonic materials, but as it deserves, the problem has become that the movement of spirits has been greatly inhibited by the emergence of vast magic voids.

'Well, there's no reason to make Theodoram solely responsible for the inconvenience of travel. The problem with Theodoram is that it was too broad. "

Where forests have been deforested as a result of human activity, magic and magic are diminished, making it impossible for spirits and demons to stay for long periods of time. The result seems to be that their movement is inhibited.

"Some travel without the Spirit Gate?

'That's what I'm talking about. That's not the reason why more spirits contract with humans. "

"What's going on?
