That's right. Where should I start? Before we talk about Fox Valley, let's check with Ars. Does the Nine Tails Sword have anything to do with wanting to go to Fox Valley?

"That's right, Jitan. I understand that the metal that became the ingredient of the Nine Tails sword was in Fox Valley, where Nine Tails lived. That's why I came to this Arm Knight house."

"Hmm, is this the ingredient for the Kuo Sword? But Ars was right and slightly different. The ore used as the ingredient for the Kuo Sword was not mined from Fox Valley. It was acquired by defeating a nine-tailed fox, now an extinct monster."

"Hmm? But our investigation concluded that the material of the Nine Tails Sword was not of biological origin. Did you really defeat Nine Tails and make a Nine Tail Sword from that material, Jitan?

"That's right. That said, I did not see a real nine-tailed fox, but the story conveyed to the Arm family is that the nine-tailed sword was definitely made by defeating the nine-tailed sword, Ars."

"... wait a minute. I'm not sure. Perhaps the nine-tailed fox had magic or something that could be made from metal ore, which is the ingredient of the nine-tailed sword?

"No, that's not true. The Nine-tailed Fox didn't seem to have such magic. But they got a special metal out of it."

"Is there metal inside the fox?

"That's right. Shall we follow in order? About the relationship between the Kuo Sword, the Fox and Fox Valley."

Old Knight Jitan, the master of the Arms family, begins to speak.

A monster once called the Nine Tails Fox.

A magical sword named the Nine Tails Sword was created by defeating the monster, and it is still passed on to the Ulk family to tell them the secret about the sword I own.

A nine-tailed fox once in this land.

They say they've seen it in the nearby mountains for a long time, starting with Fox Valley, the habitat.

However, this fox was quite a crook.

It is said that he used magic instead of a regular fox.

It seems to have the magic of exhaling a flame, also known as a flame fox.

If such a dangerous fox wanders around, it also affects people's lives.

As a result, it was decided to eliminate the nine tails that appeared in the mountains.

However, it is a dangerous opponent to use magic.

Naturally, a knight was put into the fox defeat.

Perhaps the magical roots of the Uluk family are involved in these nine tails.

It is very unlikely that the use of magic related to flames is unrelated to foxes such as Fox and Oboro .

Thus, for many years, the battle between the knight and the fox was fought in the mountains.

However, I don't know at what stage, but one time one of the knights discovered that metal could be removed from the body of a nine-tailed fox.

This metal had an unusual property.

Oh, my God, it had the property of producing a flame when I poured magic on it.

This special metal can be taken from the fox's body.

However, there were not so many that could be taken from one animal, and only a small amount.

However, there were times when the number of nine tails was high enough to need to be exterminated anyway.

It is said that when the special metal was removed from the nine tails that were exterminated and collected, it accumulated to a certain amount.

And that was the metal that became the material of the Nine Tails Sword.

I used my magic to create a metal sword that would produce a flame.

And it's pretty strong.

A flaming sword with enough power to extinguish charcoal was extremely difficult to defend.

This fact made the whole of the ulk boil.

You can create a powerful magical sword.

However, subsequent research found that although this special metal can be removed from the body of the nine tails, it was not created by the nine tails themselves.

Probably caught a nine-tailed fox by some means and raised it.

But it didn't mean that the metal could be removed from the fox one after the other.

Why?

From that time on, I checked a lot and found out something.

It was far from the Valley of Fox, and a similar fox did not use the magic of flames, nor special metals.

Only the nine-tailed creature that houses Fox Valley was able to obtain the metal.

From there, it was thought that the secret of metal lies in the Valley of Fox.

Once that is known, it is clear what to do next.

Humans who were greedy enough to make a nine-tailed sword pushed one after the other into Fox Valley.

But they never came back.

Everyone who went to Fox Valley didn't come back alive.

Originally, the people heading to Fox Valley who would have a dangerous monster named Kuo Tai were not ordinary people, but only knights.

However, the knight is heading towards Fox Valley one after the other.

But there was no one left to go to Fox Valley.

Because the number of nine tails appearing in nearby mountains gradually decreased.

I want to make a powerful magic sword, but the nine tails that get the ingredients keep decreasing year after year, but I can't go back alive if I head to Fox Valley, where I think they're still there.

Indeed, neither the Ulk nor the Knights could end this on their own responsibility.

Perhaps there is a powerful Nine Tails that will be the boss.

What a hassle.

Isn't there something in the Ulk Territory that could get in the way of obtaining valuable Ore?

You must not forgive such a thing.

We need to secure the mysterious ore that is said to be in Fox Valley, even if the people of the House of Ulks, who rule the Ulk realm, are on our side.

The Hulk family thought so and went on to explore the Valley of Fox.

In conclusion, it seems that the knights who headed for Fox Valley did not go back to Kowtail, etc.

Because the faces that entered Fox Valley were not attacked by anything, and suddenly fell down.

But even if I was lucky enough to fall down, there was something I could return to.

It was one of the current classes who was ordered by the Ulk family to explore Fox Valley and came to Arm Knight's realm with exhilaration.

While watching the other knights fall one after the other, the current knight managed to retreat across the ground.

But he managed to get back to the people who were waiting outside Fox Valley and waiting for him to return, but he took his breath back there.

Leave the last word, "poison..."

In other words, those heading for Fox Valley were killed by some kind of poison.

The Fox Valley is a poisonous encroachment that prevents animals from approaching, according to the findings of the Ulk family, which have been searching many times since.

Dangerous poison sprayed in the air.

That was the reason why Fox Valley could not return alive.

But apparently the nine tails were different.

I don't know why, but Nine Tails entered this Fox Valley freely and came out freely.

For no apparent reason, the Nine Tails were able to move without being infected by this poison.

And, the special metal that was the material of the Kuo sword in question was almost certainly found in Fox Valley.

This is because there were reports that the nine tails that were secured and kept ate metal.

Nine tails eat metal.

Only the nine tails that inhabit Fox Valley use the magic of flames, and the metal that can be removed from the body of the nine tails has the property of emitting flames by pouring magic.

Years of research have concluded that the nine tails that inhabit Fox Valley can be ingested into the body by eating the special metals in Fox Valley.

In other words, it is believed that there is a metal in the surface area of Fox Valley that can be eaten by nine tails.

However, Fox Valley is protected by a poison that can't even get in except Nine Tails.

In other words, in order to obtain the ingredients of the Nine Tails Sword, we had to remove them from the body of the Nine Tails.

But unfortunately, when I found out, everything was too much.

He was hunting down nine tails.

Since then, the Nine Tails have been thoroughly hunted down to the point that they have never been confirmed in the Arm Knight's realm, and since then it has become impossible to make a new Nine Tails Sword.

And time comes back to the present.

Nowadays, even in the UK, only the Arm Knight can talk about the Nine Tails, and the Fox Valley is almost unknown in the UK, and even the method of making the Nine Tails Sword has been lost.

That's why Jitan says.

Don't go to Fox Valley.

"I see. Hunting and killing certain creatures until they are extinct is a profound business in every world."

"Now you know, Ars. You shouldn't go to Fox Valley. No matter how good Mr. Ars is in the series of victories, it is not in everyone's hands. It's a land of death for those who come near."

"Well, I get it, Jitan. Well, of course, you know where Fox Valley is, don't you? Where is it?

"I understand that... maybe you haven't heard what I've been saying before, Arus. I told you not to go to Fox Valley."

"No, I was listening, Jitan. That's why we're going. The location of Fox Valley and its features were well understood. That's why I'm telling you to go."

"What a fool. Do people repeat mistakes again...? Don't ask me to stop you, Ars. I ask you again, are you sure you want to go?

That's right, that's enough, Jitan.

"... I see. Let me show you Fox Valley. But I don't know what to do. I've advised you many times."

"Oh, of course. If anything happens to us, there's nothing to blame for Jitan. Well, if that's the case, show me. The secret of the illusion."

The long story of Jitan is over.

So I decided to go to my destination at once.

It was very interesting to hear the story about whether the material was taken from the Nine Tails even though the Nine Tails Sword was not of biological origin.

But I didn't take Zitan's advice not to go to Fox Valley.

Instead, we came for it.

I had no choice but not to go from the beginning.

As a result, he was forced to send a guide from the Arm family, and the Balkans headed straight for Fox Valley, the former habitat of Nine Tails.
