My First Trip was to Another World
Ancient Weapons Search Tour
After we finished dismantling Baboon, we went back to base. There were about 200 pieces of material left in decent shape, and 300 pieces of worn out material. I actually knocked him out more, but he was too worn out to recover material.
I wasn't a demon with enough grudges to do this far, but I had to because I'm aggressively on my way before I can escape.
Counting the number of demonic stones, it was 638, so it probably means we crusaded 638.
The number of materials was lower than expected, but the magic bag was full. I have some vacancies, but still don't feel comfortable putting in the herbs I collected.
"Luna, can you make a magic bag out of handheld materials?
"It's okay. I think I can make about five."
I don't need five. But it's convenient to have a number of people.
Ask Leeds to form it. I don't have a machine, so it takes some time. Hand-stitch hard leather. It would be pretty heavy labor.
We'll take care of meal preparation and other chores and get Leeds to focus on creating a magic bag.
Before I went to bed, I managed to complete a magic bag for four people. The capacity per person was based on the previously defeated auga (big old man). I think that one has the capacity to fit about two people, and it's about the size of a convenience store.
The specifications of all magic bags make it impossible to put a magic bag inside a magic bag. I'm going in, but both capacities are going to look the way they are. For this reason, you also need to carry an old magic bag.
It's a waste of baggage, so I want to do something about it sooner or later.
Furthermore, as usual, the contents will rot, so I would like to add something like a cold storage function or a storage function. Future challenges.
This is what happened yesterday.
Let's hear what I misheard last night.
"Claire, have you got the hang of strengthening your body?
"Oh...... yeah. Probably all right now. I can do it anytime."
Claire answered with a little confusion. Yesterday Claire seemed fine from me. If the person is okay, I guess it's okay.
"When I use physical enhancement, there has to be a change in my senses. Have you noticed anything?
In my case, 'I can see a little bit of movement ahead', but what about Claire? I've been looking forward to it.
"Uh... yeah. I mean, my body was crazy.
My body felt strangely light and infinitely powerful. Besides, there's nothing wrong with being attacked. It didn't hurt. "
... That's normal physical enhancement, isn't it?
No, on second thought, Claire was unusually powerful yesterday. No matter how well McHaela says it cuts, it's impossible to slash Baboon like tofu.
That sword held up so well...... Are you okay with this?
"Claire, can you show me your sword?
"Fine."
Receive McHaela from Claire. Observe the blade carefully, but it is a clean body without a single blade spill. There is no bending.
"It's a beautiful sword. No problem."
"It's not natural. You've been so terrible, haven't you? I took care of it yesterday."
Apparently Claire is taking serious care of it, too.
We take care of the knife ourselves. Demon craftsmen take care of their tools in their jobs, so everyone around them is serious. I was asking Leeds for a magic bag yesterday, so I took care of Grave.
"Right.
Claire's sword could break faster than she thought. Tell me as soon as there's anything unusual. "
Probably breaks right away. No problem if you can remember the enhancement grant, but it's still early for Claire. It will break faster than that.
"Yeah...... thanks!
By the way, what are you doing today? Collect the herbs and return to the King's Capital?
Speaking of which, you hadn't talked to everyone yet.
Tour of Uroboros today. Just look, of course. He's too much trouble to fight properly.
"Today I'm going to explore the south"
"Wait a minute. Did you forget what the elders told you?
Uroboros said he moved southwest. I'm going on a tour, so naturally I'll go after him.
"I remember you. That's why we're going south."
"What are you going for...?
Luna is wondering too. Shall I explain it properly?
"I intend to go east of the Kingdom of Milgia in the future for an investigation. There will undoubtedly be Uroboros ahead. I just want to make sure it's ready for the unexpected.
Of course I'll just look at it this time. Check from afar and leave immediately "
"I saw it too - hey!
Yes, yes. Leeds is still Leeds today. Be careful not to let Leeds get too close.
"Is that what happened...... I'll be with you."
"Hmmm...... you just watch, right? You get attacked, you run away, right?
You're not gonna try to fight back, are you?
"I'm going to."
I wonder what Claire is worried about. I guess if you can't get away with being attacked, you'll have to fight back.
Well, this time I plan to run away before they attack me. It's not like yesterday's baboon. Approach them on the assumption of escape from the beginning. Secure the exit route before approaching, and leave as soon as you can see it.
"Well, this is part of the investigation. We'll work together."
Now that we have everyone's consent, we will begin to act as planned.
I moved as far away from enemy reactions as possible today because I have trouble getting tangled up in troublesome enemies. Only snakes found along the way (mamba) were kept as food.
It should have gone pretty south, but I don't have a uroboros-like reaction. At last, unfortunately, there is no dragon-like reaction, so they are in the wrong direction.
The demonic reaction is judged by Leeds' response to the survey and map.
Instead of warning of signs perception, the current map specifications now display colored points and rough names. Naturally, the unregistered reaction is labeled 'Unknown'.
The size of the opponent and the strength of his magic are represented by the size of the display and are color-coded by the type of reaction.
Hostility is red, caution is yellow, friendship is green. My buddies are shown in blue. These are clearly reactions directed at us. A distinction can also be drawn between humans, demons and animals.
"Guys! Stop for a second!
Claire tells us she's driving.
I sent a stop signal to Leeds to stop the squad.
"What's up?
"We've come pretty far south, haven't we?
Maybe we'll be in the kingdom of Mirgia soon. "
Check on the map, but the area is forest so I don't know where the border is.
"Is there a problem?
"Crossing the border without permission is a felony. Especially since it's Milgia over there.
You'd better turn back now. "
The kingdom of Milgia is very unfriendly with the kingdom of Alencia, where we live. On the face of it, they make deals and have interactions, but they're always holding each other back.
Adventurers and merchants can cross the border if they have a permit issued by the state via the guild. When they find out about crossing the border without permission, that seems to be a hassle. If you find out.
I don't think you'll find out, just in case I change the route......
"Okay. Then let's head west from here."
Which way, Uroboros could not be discovered. West if we're going next.
Run further west. The map only shows the forest all the time, but there's one unnatural reaction in it. In the middle of the woods, oversized livestock reactions.
I'm afraid there's a dragon.
"Stop calling me that..."
The unfortunate things are unfortunate, so I have no choice.
But it's troublesome when he's involved. Uroboros must be around here somewhere, so let's avoid him and search him.
After a while of running, there was more light plugging into the woods. It's almost the end of the woods. But I still can't capture the Uroboros-like reaction.
"I'm out of the woods. Yikes!
I was noticed by Leeds running the lead.
Empty again...... Let's get out of the woods and take a break. You must be nearby.
"Stay out of it. I guess I'm going out to the meadows anyway. Rest there."
Just out of the Wang capital, as far as I could see, the meadows were spreading. Probably up to near the border, all the way to the meadows.
As expected, through the woods it was a meadow. Sometimes trees grow, but they don't even mark.
The streets for Mirzia are not well maintained and it is difficult to walk. And then this meadow with nothing. Now that's something you don't get lost in.
"You have magic props. If you're still lost, you better not leave the house."
Claire answered my simple question.
Speaking of which, there was a magic object that showed the direction. Anyone who is a merchant or adventurer has it.
We are resting lightly in the meadows, but we are not going to take a long break here. I'll leave as soon as I have a few meetings.
"Well... which way should we go next?
"Hey, that's weird, huh?
I hear Leeds felt something. Leeds is pointing in the direction of the Milgian border.
When we say borders, we do not have clear boundaries. It's a state of separation of the big rivers and the two countries somehow claiming territory. As a result, both banks of the river form a buffer zone. It's land that's neither country.
"Weird... what's so weird?
"There are plenty of people. Awesome Lots"
The soldiers in the kingdom are mostly assembled in the king's capital, so maybe they are Milgian soldiers.
But why...? Moving soldiers in the buffer zone is judged hostile. Don't do it without extra circumstances.
"Claire, have you been a sign of war lately?
"You don't... I thought you said Sahir. He didn't say that, either, did he?
"I've been in Kokang lately. If you insist, are you a church southern...... They seemed strongly influenced by Milgia."
Church Southerners are the centerpiece of a coup that was recently repelled. Well put, it's a new sect that incorporates Milgian religion, but it was just a rebel, no matter how you look at it.
You smell a little kinna. Let's check it and report it.
"I'm going to take a look. Wait for me."
"Then I'll go Atashi, too. If you just want to see it, you're okay, right?
Eventually, we all travel to a visible position. I magically turned the soil into a rock to such an extent that it did not become unnatural, and hid behind it.
Across the great river, there were large numbers of soldiers. He's also outside the search range of the map, so I don't know the exact number. Thousands will be there. I'm not aligned, so I'm probably on a break right now.
This river is hung with a suspension bridge to which I am sorry. To the extent that one carriage managed to get through.
We cannot hang decent bridges in this place where each other's nations are on guard. The same reason why there are no streets. It's dangerous the other way because it only speeds up the enemy's march.
I don't know Milgia's intentions. Could it be that you found out about Uroboros?
I wonder what you're going to do about bringing soldiers to the public against Uroboros, where physical attacks don't work. We should bring in a great army of wizards. Or is almost everyone here a wizard?
And one more thing, hypothetically. It is also possible that we are preparing for war.
The rebellion ahead was too crude. Soldiers ask for mercenaries, they don't get the endorsement of the citizens, and the attack is off the hook.
It is a rebellion that I do not think will succeed, but if the aim was to confuse the King's capital, that aim was sufficiently achieved. To attack, it's a great opportunity.
If this was all set up... if Mirzia is a way to take down Alencia, then everything is convinced.
I'm drowning in measures and dying.
The rebellion ended in a day and is now working towards recovery. Knights and soldiers soon return to their places of origin.
If this is a measure, it's already broken. If left alone, it would destroy itself on its own.
You can't tell it's still like this. Let's leave the rest to the state.
"Hey, what are you gonna do?
"I'll report to the King. The soldiers will do something about it later."
Remove the transcriber from the magic bag, approximating the suspicious Claire.
"Milgian soldiers are assembling near the border. Confirm immediately."
Just send the letters. I don't need long sentences or anything. I just need to tell you what to do.
Upon confirmation of the transmission, the transcriber shivered in detail immediately. Received. That's a lot quicker reply...
Copy that. Quickly annihilate: Proxy Glad '
Instructor Grad. I knew you'd be watching besides the king.
So, why would I do that? Though this would be a soldier's job. What do you mean, annihilated before checking the scene? It's too noisy.
"Go Yourself"
I don't know later. Do it on your own.
"Ignore Glad's instructions. Check here '
The transcriber shivered again. Now it's from the king. I wonder if I can write a concise text. I wish this was always the case.
I wonder what kind of interaction there was between Instructor Glad and the King. I wonder if it's a surprisingly cheap relationship. Well, that's all I have to do. Let's go back to our original job, the search for Uroboros.
