Episode 247: The Village Behind the Mountains Hathaler and the Exodus

"Lorraine...... what are you talking about?

That's what I ask Lorraine, the man who probably doesn't understand the situation the least on this occasion.

By the way, Garb and Capitan haven't moved at all when they hear Lorraine's dialogue right now.

I know what that means, I guess.

My question, Lorraine,

"I told you before, didn't I? About the labyrinth city of Felt, the Good King. It's not a city with a labyrinth around it, it's really a story about a city inside the labyrinth"

I remember when you said that and you talked about that.

But that's...

"... it's in your hometown, that's what we were talking about. That means to the Realmud Empire..."

I talked that far and figured out that I had gotten this far on the transfer team, and, oh, it wasn't strange to think so, but the situation kind of blurted out.

Lorraine also confirmed that my understanding had been reached and went on.

"... right. I've seen this sight before. In spite of being in an underground labyrinth, a beautiful ancient city shines brightly. Demons trekking there and relentlessly attacking intruders... and their king, the Black King Tiger, Shahor Melefnamel."

"I mean... here"

"That's right. This is the Realmud Empire, one of the labyrinths there, The Labyrinth of Old Worms, sixty levels... commonly known as The Underground City of the Good King Felt..."

◇ ◆ ◇ ◆ ◇

What, that.

Seems I'm the only one surprised enough to want to say that on the spot.

Lorraine seems surprised, too, but not so much by the sight she has seen.

I'm getting a little confused about what to ask from.

but it comes to my mind as much as the first thing to ask.

Perhaps you should ask who.

I turn to Garb and Capitan and ask questions.

"... is that a true story?

Then the Capitan,

"I don't know anything about fine names because we're rural people. However, it is true that this is in the labyrinth of the land ruled by the Realmud Empire. I mean, the Good King Felt is our ancestor. Funny story, isn't it?

If I told you not to be funny, it could certainly be an interesting story.

Because I'd be a little excited to find out that my ancestors are legendary.

"Why is that happening...?

When Lorraine asks the two of them, Garb says,

"Well, that metamagic team is connected here."

and say it again in a joke-like tone.

But it's hard to say because you're actually right.

To this, Lorraine,

"... that transition magic formation, even the Empire had confirmed. However, we have not been able to make it operational. Probably still is. But why are you..."

said.

I'm also the first to hear about this, so I ask Lorraine.

"You knew there was a metastatic magic formation?

"Ah. It's just that this is the sixtieth tier. Until it comes in the first place (...), and even after it comes, powerful demons, beginning with Black King Tiger Shahor Melefnamel, are trekking through the city. Even if we try to investigate properly, scholars are quickly Buddhists. That's why the investigation hasn't progressed. All I know is the view here and the fact that the Transition Magic Formation is confirmed, that it's not running, that's about it."

I see, the situation is that you can't even look into it like you look into it.

There are a lot of ways I can think of… we've talked about it as a state secret before.

When that happens, there will be a limited number of ways to choose.

Pretty hard to navigate, I guess.

Anyway, that, then, Garb answers Lorraine's question.

As for the operation of the Transition Magic Regiment.

"Now, as for the Transition Magic Formation... that is also the same as this Black King tiger Shahor Melefnamel. Our blood is the key. That's all we're talking about."

"... blood on the key... such technology... no, like registering magic inherent in the short wand Wand? That's what I said in a person's blood. There's a way to identify..."

It is Lorraine who began to say bump into Garb's words.

but he seemed to think it would be more meaningful to lay down questions than to think about them here.

Go on and ask Garb.

"So you're saying that I got on the metamagic team because I was with Lent?

"Exactly. I don't know what technology it is, but the ancient kingdom seemed to have the technology to make it possible. Powerful demons, and technology that makes them the city's protector."

You certainly wouldn't be able to explain it if you didn't think about it that way to see the giant cat you're saying it's all in front of you.

But that's why it's so strange.

"... why is it that a country with such power, and a city that has inherited that power... is doomed in this way? And why did you have to run to the edge of such a rural country?

I hear Lorraine came to the same conclusion as I did.

That's right.

If you were to say you had the technology and power to go that far, you shouldn't have had to do that.

If you say that even powerful demons are not a threat, why not perish?

Even for the Good King Felt, he said he fled the country somewhere and followed here after wandering.

"You'd be curious about that. I'm curious too. Perhaps those of Hathhaler who found out about this place before us would have been much more concerned. But we don't have the answer..."

"You didn't even look into it?

To say human is a creature of curiosity, good or bad.

As you get about the age of Garb, your interest in your surroundings will also loosen up on boulders, but unless you do, it's normal for you to want to know all sorts of things once you've been taught a big secret so far.

Even though Garb and Capitan were exceptionally people who didn't think so, they should have kept this secret for a long time without a few.

It's inconceivable to say that one of those people didn't think to look into the secrets here.

That's the question I was asking.

Capitan replies to this.

"It's been told that some people used to try to find out. That's what I'm talking about in an oral message that can only be passed on to hunter-heads. Some grandmothers do, don't they?

Garb nodded at this,

"Oh. The village pharmacist...... is in front of the building, which used to seem to be called the Master of Sorcery, but there is the same story in that oral line. And also for the village chief. They used to call me" The King. "

"If that's what you mean, the hunter's head was also the" Knights Commander "... but if our village roots are here, I don't know. We are descendants of a doomed nation. Were you saying that in vain or trying to live proudly... I don't know, but in the end, it's no different now than anywhere else, it's just a country village"

That's what the Capitans said and laughed.
