Immortal Sage

"Ugh..."

"This... that's tight..."

……

The giant spider staring at this one is gross...

Little bugs don't make me sick, but if you look at that in "super doup," it's goosebumps.

The state is exactly what it is...

"You're gonna tear this apart and stick it in a storage bag?

I know what it's like to want to say that!

I'm sick too!

"Then I'll take care of it, Wolf."

... right?

Because I'm the only one in the kingdom who can move...

After crusading the numberless spider, the watchdog was able to proceed with the search for the pit without encountering any particular demons.

It's not hard to imagine that even when demons come into this pit, they've been bait for those spiders.

You mean there's something there that needs to be protected that far?

"Not the ore... you were interfering with the dragon pulse?

At the deepest part of the pit there was a wide space painted with magic formations.

In the heart of the magic formation in a very powerful junction, the demonic stones continue to emit dull light…

"Is it interference with the dragon pulse?

"The magic of an elf is vast compared to a human being, but it can't interfere with dimensions like Duneem's magic."

"So replenish the missing magic from the dragon pulse... were you using that magic?

"It's limited to a certain range, but it's a magic formation to use the enormous amount of magic from the dragon vein as its own magic..."

Was Duneem acting differently from the Veredas, researching and experimenting with this magic formation?

Dragon veins vary in thickness, but there is no need to confine to this area more than being strewn all over the world...

Why did you dare to choose this area, the less popular countryside?

"... Dear Wolfe!?

"Hmm?"

"Did you notice anything?

Holly's voice pulled me back into reality thinking about it.

"I guess the more I think about it, the less I understand..."

"What will this magic formation do?

"I'm only sure it sucks, so let's turn it off"

There would be no reason to leave the magic formations, which would be the backbone of the magic that Lady Gladys guards against.

There can be no other option, as long as it could be related to the Veledas...

After crushing the magic formations together, we are headed back to the village of Togachi.

It was subtle as an achievement of exploration, but it doesn't leave the realm of imagination any more than Duneem's intentions are unclear...

"To the Alliance, do we just report a new kind of demon?

"In many ways, I don't want to make that magic formation public."

"If Duneem had set himself apart from Vereda and the others, it would be better if Vereda and the others didn't know about the existence of that magic formation..."

That's what I thought. I filled the deepest part of the tunnel by crushing every magic formation protected by the junction.

Even if Duneem and Vereda didn't make a difference, I want to keep our names public and avoid being alerted by them.

"Isn't it unnatural to crusade a new breed of demons in a state where the reasons for exploring the pits are unclear?

"Isn't it possible that a male was coming out of the pit?

"It's not like there's a witness... you can't pursue it if you doubt it..."

"Let's end this thing here!

"Wolf, you're in trouble, aren't you?

"You can't help thinking too much, can you?

Yes, I don't think it's going to turn out as good as over-thinking than not leaving the realm of speculation.

It's not like Mark said, "It's a pain in the ass"!

"Yes, yes, you do."

Julia guy...... you don't believe me.

"Wolf, that's all you've got, nothing like ambition?

"Ambition?

"Now you have the power to ravage even the army of the country. Normally, you want power, don't you?

"Are you kidding me?

"In ancient times, the founding of a nation was achieved by force. That's all I've got. It's natural to ask you, isn't it?

"Why do you have to be such a pain in the ass?"

You know my character. Mark's question?

I'm glad to be free of the Count's house. You know my character, so I would have started a clan with you.

"No, I think I know why Lady Gladys chose you as his [moderator]."

"For what reason?

Mark of the niggling face......

"Still... Mark would say that Svein's blood muscles and [the Great Sage's] skills are too dangerous"

Sounds like Julia knows what Mark meant by what he said, doesn't she?

"Dear Wolfe, it means that not all nobles have the same noble spirit as Count Svein."

"Oh, you know what..."

The point is, if they find out about my ability to fight, including my skills, they're bound to come out and try to use it!

He told me that the status quo, an independent clan from the Alliance, was that we had to consider keeping secrets for ourselves.

It's a real pain in the ass...
