Isaac

Despite Magellan's refusal, Isaac, who took a sip of his drink, glanced down his heels and said.

“That's sloppy.”

“It is said that the forbidden land was the territory of a human kingdom seven days before the disaster. It was said to have been the richest land on the continent, but now it looks like this. ”

“Everything has an end. ”

Isaac bites his cigarette, muttering, and Magellan glances at Isaac and says,

“There's still time until we get to the encampment, so let me give you some caution. ”

“What is it?”

“You cannot use magic on forbidden land. ”

“This has nothing to do with me. ”

“Prohibited land is a land without mana itself. Why is that? It's an unclear phenomenon, so don't ask me. However, if you want to use magic on this forbidden land, you need to use the Stable Stone. ”

“But?”

As Isaac sounded dry, Magellan frowned.

“You know that the stable stone absorbs the mana around it, right? That's why even if you consume all of the Mana held by the stable stones, the contents will be reduced, but it can be recharged. But this forbidden land has no Mana at all. That's why you can't use magic, and you can only use Mana held by the Stone Master to express it. That means the cobblestone, which maintains the performance of the coat you believe in, is consumed much faster on forbidden soil. ”

“I understand. What does that have to do with me? ”

In Isaac's words, Magellan sighs deeply.

“You should have caused the Oyster accident. The position of Director is also a problem. General Knoxville, the Gate Garrison Commander, has fought the Sword Master three times to defend the gate. You're related to Duke Lopez, the College Instructor. ”

In Magellan's words, Isaac giggles.

“Is that hotshot strong enough to disobey Central's orders? ”

“Even though you believe in principle.... ”

“Okay, then. A wise man can be filthy but high-class, so I'll just duck in and come in, and I won't even be able to look at him if he's full of useless pride. ”

In Isaac's words, Magellan sighs and shakes her head.

“Anyway, we'll leave as soon as the supplies are done, so bear with that time. ”

“Then why did you bring me here? ”

“To get rid of any complaints. I told you, you're in a frenzy because you're the director. But even the administrative procedures of all agents entering the central area will tell you you cannot accept the director's office. That's why I'm going to treat you like a boss while I'm around. ”

“Tsu! Treating your boss is underhanded. ”

Isaac kicks his tongue and shakes his head, saying it again before the chubby Magellan shouts.

“Ah! I have one more question. ”

“What?”

Isaac opens his mouth to a new cigarette in Magellan's stern pouch.

“You said you've definitely pioneered here before, right? ”

“I did.”

“So you used the aircraft then? ”

“No. In those days, the aircraft was not yet developed. That's why I had to use the road. ”

“Wow! You broke through that nasty thing? ”

“Hard. We had to move slowly with the marker. The Marks are made by enhancing the defensive magic to block the wind's approach, but they were forced to use the Stable because they were unable to use Mana, so the Stable Stone was consumed extremely. ”

“But did the situation change with the development of the aircraft? ”

“Yes. It's a bit harsh, but we don't need to use land routes because we can reduce our budget significantly as well as move quickly with the aircraft. So I closed it down.”

“It would have been my job to demolish it manually. ”

“There's no need for that. If you just stop the maintenance, all the flags consumed by the stops functioning by themselves. ”

“I see.”

Isaac nods as if he understood. As he bites a new cigarette, he finds something snaking around the horizon beyond the window.

“That one?”

“Here we are. This is where the gate defenders stay. ”

“Hedgehog?”

Magellan mumbled as he looked at the unusual shape of the building that was becoming more and more distinct.

“Recycling what remains of the former royal kingdoms of this land. It is the only building on the ground from the beginning. ”

“I thought you said you were in a camp built by the expedition? ”

When Isaac asked, Magellan said with a bitter expression.

“At the last regular gate opening, the position at which the gate was opened was randomly changed. We then rebuilt the outpost in the center for immediate response, no matter where the gate is opened. ”

“You don't know where the gate will open? ”

“Yes. That's why we took devastating damage last time we defended the gate. ”

“But what are all those flags for? ”

In the castle that was getting closer, the flag that had been plunged horizontally and plunged perpendicular to the flag that had been plunged into it was tightly plunged like a needle. It was cool to fly in the wind, but it was also very disturbing because there were many.

Tsk, tsk!

I was surprised at the sound of the glass breaking, and Magellan was staring at the castle with a stiff face.

“Surprise. What's wrong with you? ”

“The flag... is flying. ”

“Maybe it's windy. ”

“There is no wind in the forbidden land. ”

In Magellan's increasingly trembling voice, Isaac suddenly noticed that Lee was flying a flag when he wanted to do this. ’Throwing out an ice bucket with the elasticity, I glanced at the view window and asked.

“Can't the wind blow? ”

“…… the only time the flag flares is when the gate is open. ”
