"Nh, did you finally fall?"
I heard a very loud cheer while I was talking to someone else on the main team.
Apparently, the Ukrainian capital, where the Eindrad and Burmese armies were attacking, has fallen.
The attackers crossed the walls and entered the interior, from where they opened the gates.
As a result, the two armies entered the city of Urk territory surrounded by the walls.
Apparently this will put an end to the battle against Uluk.
"All right, get the Vulcans ready to move. We're going into the territorial capital."
"Ah, finally. Hey, Ars, let's hurry up. Let's go to the Urk Castle Treasure Depot and secure the treasure."
"No, I won't do that, part-time brother. We need to get something more important."
"Ah? Is there anything better than a treasure trove, Ars?
"Of course. Do you want a pane?"
"Yes, this way."
"Paine, do you know anything about the inside of Urk Castle?
"Yes, except for the hidden corridors that only House Ulk knows, but only to the extent that knights know, Arus."
"All right, then show me around the castle. Let's go to the library."
"... the library? In your words, are you sure you don't want to go to the treasure trove or the back of the house, as Bite says?
"No, hold the library. You can show me around, right?
"Of course. Let me show you around, Arus."
To be honest, I am also interested in what treasures are in the treasure trove of the House of Ulk, a nobleman.
But I was stunned here.
Everyone wants a treasure, as do the Eindrad and Burmese armies who fought to destroy the territorial capital.
It's obvious what happens when we break into that place and take the treasure out of the vault.
It's possible to get excited in battle with Max's two army soldiers.
Then it was decided to go to one place where the two armies did not attach much importance.
That's what I thought. I looked at the library.
This is where the Ulk family kept all the materials they had left.
Go straight there.
Instead of giving up the perhaps treasure trove magic, I moved to secure the treasure of information stored in Ulk.
"This is the library... Of course, but it's just parchment."
"Hey, Ars. What are you going to do with the book here? Are you going to remember it all in Memory Storage again?
"No, I won't do that, part-time brother. Unlike before, I can take it out now. But there's something I need to check. Paine, do you know what's in this library?
"I'm sorry, Mr. Ars. I don't even know the contents of the materials in the library. But you might know a little bit. What do you want to know?"
"For now, it's a map of Uluk territory. And where and which knights. And there's one more place I want to know."
"Map and knight information? If the knight's information is recent, you can ask me for more information. I think the map is probably stored in the back. But where do you want to know? Somewhere in Uluk territory?
"That's right. What I want to know is the habitat of the Nine Tails. You know what I mean?
"... nine tails? I'm sorry, Mr. Ars. In your words, the Nine Tails no longer exist. They were all hunted down and extinct by the Uluks once."
"I know that, Paine. What I want to know is where many of the extinct Nine Tails lived when they were still alive. I want to know about it."
"Is this where Kuo Tai once showed up? It will be a long time ago, won't it? No one may know. I see. That's why you wanted to look into it in this library."
"Can you find out, Paine?
"Please wait. Indeed, I remember hearing it as a bedtime story from my grandfather when I was a child. In the past, there was a secret place called Fox Valley. If there is a literature with the letter Fox Valley on it, we may be able to identify the approximate location."
"All right, here we go, Paine. It's called Fox Valley. Let's find it."
"... look at the amount of material in this library, Arus. You won't be able to find it right away. For days, no, maybe just looking for the word Fox Valley will take longer."
"Hmm? Oh, don't you know Paine? This time, the Vulcans have brought the Reed family with them. If you have Speed Reading , you can quickly find it by flipping the parallax. No problem."
"Hey, hey, Als. I know you like books. Isn't Nine Tails gone? What are you going to do about finding out where the fox lived now? You're going to pick up the Knights' territory if you don't obey the Xylia family. What are you thinking?"
"What are you talking about, part-time brother? Nine tails, nine tails. Did my brother forget what the name of the Uluk family's magic sword was?
"Uluk's Magic Sword? You can't forget that, it's the Kuo Sword."
"Don't you understand? Then you know what it means to look into the habitat of Nine Tails."
"... no, I don't know, Ars. What are you trying to say? And you think Nine Tails is still alive? You want me to take down those nine tails and turn them into a new weapon?
"Hey, what are you talking about, part-time brother? You can't make a sword out of a fox."
"Huh? No, I'm sure that's true, but the magical sword of Ulk is called the Nine Tails Sword, so I thought you made it from the Nine Tails. I mean, even hard tooth swords are made from pig's teeth, so there's nothing you can't make, right?
"No, brother part-time. The name Kuo Sword is not derived from the body of a fox named Kuo. It's from where Kuo lived."
"... you sometimes say that, Ars. I mean, what is it?
"Finally, if we can identify the location of Fox Valley where Nine Tails lived, we may be able to obtain the ore that became the ingredient of the Nine Tails Sword. If that happens, you can mass-produce the Kuo Sword, Bite Brother."
A magical sword called the Kuo Sword that I received from Carlos for my role in the fight against the Ulk family.
I studied this nine-tailed sword with Gran once.
It was a simple question of why a sword of fire appeared when magic was poured.
And in that, Gran came to the conclusion.
This means that the magical sword called the Nine Tails Sword does not use any biologically sourced materials, including foxes.
In other words, the Kuo sword was undoubtedly a "sword made of metal".
Gran said that the names and materials of these magical weapons sometimes do not match.
The reason varies from case to case, but one possible connection is between the metal that became the material of the nine-tailed sword and the organism called the nine-tailed fox.
One of the hypotheses that Grant derived from his knowledge and experience is this:
It was thought that the location where the metal was obtained and the area where the nine tails lived were consistent.
On the spot, however, this hypothesis did not lead to confirmation.
According to information available to me and Gran in Fontana territory, Nine Tails have already become past creatures and do not exist.
And it seems that the method of making the Kuo sword has been lost.
The information available at that time was insufficient to draw a conclusion.
But not now.
I have arrived at the Ulk family's library, which I once built and used for the prosperity of my territory.
Here, we may be able to see the habitat of the former Nine Tails.
"Wow! I'm surprised, Ars. Speed reading is amazing. Looks like they've already found it. I discovered a document with a description of Fox Valley, a place with nine tails."
"All right, where are you, Paine?"
"Well, according to this description... it seems that there are several mountains and mountains at the foot of the great snow mountain. Perhaps it's around here on the map."
"Hmm, do you know who's the knight who's ruling it? I wonder if you've just entered the Kirilla family's umbrella this time?
"... no, it's not. The knights here must have ignored the message and shown no response. They're probably going to ignore it."
"That's great, that's great. Just the right guy. All right, part-time brother. Once we have all the materials in the library, we'll be on our way. Let's go crush a knight's house called the Arm House."
Looks like we got more information than we expected.
Then it is not a case of slowing down in such a place.
I started targeting the Knights of Arms in the south-eastern part of the Old Urk Territory, as Paine pointed out on the map, and moving the Vulcan army.
